Renée Zellweger is back, baby! Back as the beloved Bridget Jones – 21 years on from the first film. The Academy Award winner tells us just how much she adores playing the bumbling Brit on her endless quest for love (page 18). Fellow Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon talks us through her latest rom-com, You’re Cordially Invited, alongside Will Ferrell, and how the two of them “just clicked” on set (page 28). And as this year’s Oscars race heats up, we take a look at nominee Kieran Culkin as he goes head-to-head with his on-screen brother Jeremy Strong for Best Supporting Actor (page 30). Then there’s the wild story about how a woman got scammed by a fake Brad Pitt to the tune of $1.4 million (page 34). Plus, how all…

Speaking with Net-A-Porter’s digital title, Porter, Cate Blanchett, 55, took stock of the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements that swept through the entertainment industry in the wake of the sexual misconduct charges against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. “Everyone talks about the #MeToo movement as if it’s well and truly over, and I think, well, it didn’t really ever take root, to be honest,” she told the outlet. “People were seeking to dismantle and discredit those voices that were only just beginning to come out from under the floorboards into the light. I find it quite distressing the way that it hasn’t taken root.” For Blanchett’s part, her production company, Dirty Films, has launched a program for women, trans and non-binary filmmakers. “But then it’s about scaffolding. [It’s about] those things…

Just a few weeks ago, Kyle Sandilands was in good spirits as he made a joke to WHO about some upcoming medical tests. “I’ve got a brain scan this week,” he told us on December 16 in a chat about Australian Idol. “Is that to prove to the network I have a brain or is it for my own medical insurance? Oh, it’s just to have a look,” he added with a chuckle after confirming with manager Bruno Bouchet. The MRI has likely saved his life. On February 3, the 53-year-old dropped the bombshell news live on his KIIS FM Kyle & Jackie O Show that the test had discovered he has a brain aneurysm which requires “immediate” surgery. “If that bursts, I die instantly,” he said. “It’s like, it’s…

GRAMMY AWARDS 2025 KING OF AWARDS Rapper Kendrick Lamar got revenge on his rival Drake, winning five Grammys for his diss track, Not Like Us. Lamar thanked LA for inspiring the anthem, saying, “It was this neck of the woods that held me down since a young buck.” Bushfires had ravaged their city just weeks earlier, but the heart and soul of Los Angeles’ music scene proved they can rise above and still put on a damn good show with a Grammys night to remember. The theme of resilience and devotion to their city echoed throughout the 67th annual awards show, with an ‘I Love LA’ tribute kicking off the celebrations. John Legend and Sheryl Crow were among the big-name stars to take to the stage, while the performance hit…

Kacie Stephens had been a cleaner for a while when she started getting a cough from the different cleaning sprays she was using. Someone who’d been in the business for 20 years gave her a piece of advice that would change her life. “She told me to try cleaning with dishwashing liquid and it really worked,” Kacie tells WHO. When COVID put her Melbourne cleaning business on pause, she started making TikTok videos as a cleanfluencer, demonstrating how to clean with this one product and also giving tips on how to save time and get top results. “Things like cleaning the shower screen,” she explains. “People spend ages spraying and wiping and it’s still streaky but if you soap up the screen then rinse with water and use a squidgy,…

Handed down through generations, there’s a reason why home remedies, colloquially known as “old wives’ tales”, have been around so long – and it’s because many hold a grain of truth! Yes, in plenty of cases, it seems Nan did know best with her remedies. From easing colds to relieving pain, these golden oldies also have the potential to save you money every day. “So many common household items can have therapeutic benefits, and now science backs them up,” naturopath Jess Gleeson says. Here are seven old homespun tips that are still popular today. CHICKEN SOUP AND COLDS Nothing beats a bowl of chicken soup when you’re feeling under the weather. “One study found that compounds in chicken soup can slow the movement of white blood cells, which helps to…

This year, TikTok became obsessed with the everything shower – the shower routine that has you ticking all the boxes from exfoliation, to scalp massage, to any desired hair removal. It’s the ultimate indulgence – and a huge time-suck. Sure, luxuriating in a steamy rinse is basically the ultimate self-care, but an everything shower can be more business than pleasure. Just ask Jodie Turner-Smith, who recently described her shower routine as “serious”. The actress – and possessor of the most moisturised skin in Hollywood – recently spoke about how she maintains her flawless glow. Her final step – and this might be the key ingredient – is to not dry off with a towel. No, Turner-Smith air-dries. According to L’Oreal, air-drying can be gentler on your skin. Also, it’s probably…

She may have taken some convincing to do it, but Victoria Beckham is now about halfway through shooting her highly anticipated documentary for Netflix. The cameras started rolling on the series, tentatively titled Victoria Beckham, last September and will keep shooting until June, with the release date expected to be before the end of 2025. Victoria, 50, said no to the project for a long time, but eventually husband David Beckham, who admits his wife stole the show in his hit Netflix documentary, Beckham, convinced her to put herself at the centre of her own story. “It wasn’t the easiest thing to get her to agree to, but in my opinion, she was the star of mine,” the 49-year-old former soccer legend told UK Today last month. “So I just…

Sandra Bullock has shared an urgent plea out of concern for her family and fans after she and her sister were caught up in a string of scams on social media. “My family’s safety, as well as the innocent people being taken advantage of, is my deep concern, and there will be a time when I will comment more, but for now our focus is helping law enforcement handle this matter,” the 60-year-old actress told People in a statement on February 3. “Please be aware that I do not participate in any form of social media. Any accounts pretending to be me or anyone associated with me are fake accounts and have been created for financial gain or to exploit people around me.” The desperate warning came after her little…

The trial between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, after the actress accused her co-star and director of sexually harassing her and retaliating with a social media smear campaign, hasn’t even started yet, but the fighting continues to grow uglier every day. Baldoni, 41, recently launched a website where he shared a 168-page “timeline of relevant events”. His team believe the one-sided details of his text messages, emails and a statement Baldoni said he was pressured into releasing by Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds, clear him of any wrongdoing. Lively’s attorney, Michael Gottlieb, said the “retaliation campaign” by Baldoni’s team has been “devastating” for her. “You’re not supposed to launch attacks on the other party’s character,” he said. Lively, 37, has indicated that she plans to file an amended complaint on…

In 2021, embattled former TV star Lisa Wilkinson called working with her Today co-host of a decade “purely a relationship for the cameras”. But more recently, Karl Stefanovic has spoke fondly of his former colleague, who left the Nine Network breakfast show in 2017. “I will say about Lisa: genuinely adored working with her. I found her to be an incredibly interesting, intelligent, funny woman,” he said on a recent episode of Stellar’s Something to Talk About podcast. The journalist and TV Week Gold Logie winner, 50, also said he learned a lot from Wilkinson, 65, who was a magazine and TV veteran. “She taught me so much about the craft of conversation, and we had a really beautiful relationship,” he said. “So there is no ill will. Only great…

Stepping out to attend Monaco’s Sainte Dévote Day on January 27, Princess Charlene made a stylish entrance to the festivities in a chic black and white coat from Louis Vuitton. With her full cheeks and hair up in an elegant chignon just two days after her 47th birthday, Charlene’s healthy and at-ease appearance was in stark contrast to the pale and emaciated princess we have come to know the last few turbulent years. “Charlene is looking physically and emotionally strong,” South Africa’s leading royal correspondent, Arlene Prinsloo, tells WHO. “She is famous for rarely smiling but you can see there is a twinkle back in her eye.” It was the start of troubled times for Charlene in December 2020 when her husband, Prince Albert, was hit with a paternity suit…

BRAD PITT SCAM It must have seemed like something straight out of a movie when Anne, who was in the process of getting divorced, had a chance online encounter with one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, fell in love and started planning their life together. But as the old adage goes: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Rather than it being the start of a new romance, the French woman was conned out of all her savings. During an 18-month relationship with someone who turned out not to be Brad Pitt but a scammer impersonating the actor using AI, Anne gave away almost $1.4 million. “I was in love with the man I was chatting to,” Anne explained in an interview with French current affairs program…

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) might have started as accidentally fermented apple juice, but it’s fair to say that today it’s a wellness staple. This golden, yet sour, elixir’s purported benefits range from its antimicrobial properties to its ability to improve skin tone and texture, and, most recently, weight management. Both Jennifer Aniston and Victoria Beckham swear by a few spoonfuls of ACV in their morning water to aid digestion, while TikTok’s #ACVChallenge – where users consume ACV for seven days in a bid to lose weight – has social media stars rushing to stock up. Yet, despite its widespread popularity, there is still little scientific evidence to support ACV’s impact on weight management. So is this a trend you should take notice of ? WHO consults empathic nutritionist Emily Smith…

SUN SEEKER I shouldn’t need to ask if you’re wearing SPF all over every day, because nowadays, especially in Australia, sun protection is non-negotiable. I squealed when these new launches landed on my desk because I’ve been a huge fan of both brands since their inception. I can confirm these new SPF 50+ formulas are divine on the skin and sit beautifully. TOP TUBE For those that follow along, you’ll know I only use tubing mascaras nowadays. I’ve recently added this Revlon newbie to the roster and have been so pleasantly surprised at the formula, which is so buildable, lengthening and, above all, does not smudge! Trust me, I even tested it on a particularly hot and sweaty 12km run. Targeted at hair that has been coloured, this combo protects…

In the same way that we create layers and depth within living and dining rooms, so too can we achieve this with our outdoor entertaining spaces. With thanks to the incredible array of outdoor fabrics now available, including velvets, bouclés and linens, and the trend for designing outside tables and chairs to look like indoor furniture, the garden can be treated like an additional room of the home. I take the same approach to styling the exterior as I would the interiors, creating a natural flow from inside to outside that echoes the same style and spirit of the house. The garden can be so much more than patches of grass and paving. The choices you make for outdoor areas should be very much dictated by how you like to…

MOVIE BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY This is it: the final chapter in the story of our hapless heroine Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger).

It’s not surprising that after more than two decades at the helm of Better Homes and Gardens, Johanna Griggs has picked up plenty of tips and tricks to inspire her in her own day-to-day life. The show’s host owns her own farm, grows about 85 per cent of her own veggies and even keeps her own bees. A keen entertainer, Griggs, 51, also loves incorporating the recipes shared on the show into her lifestyle, too. Better Homes and Gardens is back on our screens – and so are you! What is it that makes you come back season after season? It is unlike any other show on television in the sense that it’s always positive.

Self-professed “hermit” Robert Pattinson has come out of his shell since the birth of his daughter almost a year ago. As the Twilight star recently admitted, following the March 2024 arrival of his baby girl, who he shares with Suki Waterhouse, he’s engaged with his community and those around him more than he ever has before. That change was on full display recently in Los Angeles as the celebrity couple and their little one – whose name has been kept under wraps for now – took a family stroll and stopped for snacks. For Pattinson, 38, the 11-month-old has opened up a “huge” new world. He told GQ, “I’ve been such a hermit – like, I never really met my neighbours before. And now, because you’re just constantly, like, in…

Olivia Wilde is open to finding love again. The actress, 40, enjoyed a night out with former pro basketball star Dane DiLiegro as they watched the Lakers take on the Boston Celtics in Los Angeles on January 23. A source told the Daily Mail that Wilde “finds Dane incredibly attractive, and they have a lot in common”. “He is passionate and he knows how to treat a woman,” the source said. “They both love sports. They enjoy being around each other and [are] not afraid to show affection when they are out together.” Following her split with Harry Styles in 2022 and the breakdown of her seven-year engagement to Jason Sudekis in 2020, Wilde isn’t looking to settle straight down. “She’s dating and having fun,” a second source told the…

Kaia Gerber split with her boyfriend of three years, Austin Butler, in October, making way for her to start dating Lewis Pullman, a source has said. The hot new couple made their public debut at Salazar in Los Angeles on January 29, popping out for a dinner date on Pullman’s 32nd brithday. “They kept it under wraps until the news of her and Austin’s split came out,” the source confirmed to Us Weekly. “Kaia would make sure to be in a hat to try and be unnoticed, but they would be at their favourite restaurants, bars and clubs, holding hands and showing PDA. They were just frequenting crowds that didn’t really know them.” Pullman is the son of actor Bill Pullman. With Gerber, 23, being the daughter of supermodel Cindy…

After a series of work-related posts to kick off 2025, Lily Collins shared a surprising announcement on January 31 about her personal life – she’d secretly become a mother. “Welcome to the centre of our world Tove Jane McDowell,” Collins, 35, wrote on Instagram, alongside a sweet photo of the newborn holding her hand. “Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again.” Sadly, the Emily In Paris star and her husband, Charlie McDowell, 41, quickly had their baby bubble burst as cruel commenters called out their decision to use a surrogate, likening it to “human trafficking ”. “Wow. Money can buy you literally anything, including human life,” wrote one person,…

Double talk Will Ferrell is a huge Reese Witherspoon fan, especially, he says, of her portrayal of Tracy Flick in 1999 cult classic Election. Chatting to WHO to promote their new romantic comedy, You’re Cordially Invited (streaming now on Prime Video), the A-listers detail the secret to their on-screen chemistry and hint that Witherspoon’s character, Margot, might be even more hilarious than Tracy. Have you two worked together on a film before? WILL FERRELL We haven’t. REESE WITHERSPOON Oh, we worked together on Saturday Night Live. WF Reese hosted Saturday Night Live when I was there, so that was our one and only time. There’s an amazing chemistry between you guys in every scene. How did you get that chemistry? It feels so natural. RW Even from the very first…

LITTLE GIRLS LOST There were just 15 minutes left of the Taylor Swift-themed holiday dance class, where 26 little girls were making friendship bracelets, waiting for their parents to pick them up. But horror was just around the corner in the UK town of Southport as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana approached the event with a 20cm-long kitchen knife. What followed shocked the world and left the families it touched in shreds. In what a judge described as a “ferocious” and “sadistic” rampage, Rudakubana murdered three girls – Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9 – as well as trying to kill eight others, and the two adults who tried to save them. Some would describe the teenager’s actions as “evil”, judge Mr Justice Julian Goose…

Edwards recommends a spritz of this to finish with some soft grit. MICRO BOB A micro bob is considered any minimalist bob that sits higher than your chin, according to Jaye Edwards, the founder of Edwards And Co and Jaye Haircare. “ This bold cut sits just above the jawline, creating a sharp and modern silhouette,” Edwards tells us. “To achieve this look, ask your hairstylist for a precision cut with clean, blunt ends that suit your face shape. Style it sleek with a flat iron for a polished look or use a texture spray to embrace soft, natural waves.” BOXY BOB “A sharp, boxy bob gives the feeling of not only more thickness, but also this blunt baseline that reflects a strong confidence,” says Anthony Nader, founder of RAW…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Focus on fresh starts and clear your mental space. We’re into the second month of 2025 already, but for you, it’s very much the start of an important new cycle. The most crucial thing you can do is work on your mental state. If you’re often angry or upset, think about how that affects your day. Think good thoughts! CANCER JUN. 21–JUL. 21 Tune into your ruler, the Moon, and go slower and steadier. As Mars reverses through your sign, there’s every chance you feel like you’re getting nowhere fast. That may be true, but this is a short-term cycle, so go with it. Maybe it’s the right time to do less and breathe more? Also, stop arguing with that provocative person! LIBRA SEP. 23–OCT. 22…

Olivia Swann could be forgiven for having the occasional identity crisis. After all, the English actress is playing American Special Agent Michelle Mackey stationed in Australia in hit spin-off NCIS: Sydney. “I stay in the accent all day when I’m on set, so I actually spend most of my time in Australia speaking with an American accent, which is weird now I think about it,” Swann, 32, who also recently starred opposite Leighton Meester and Adam Brody in River Wild, tells WHO. “And it’s way more tiring than I thought it would be!” As Season 2 of the first NCIS franchise set outside the US hits screens around the world, we caught up with Swann to get the lowdown on her time Down Under. You’re back for another season of…
