Naomi Watts is done with shame. The Aussie actress refuses to shy away from the topic of menopause and has instead penned a whole book about her lived experience (page 18). And full points to her husband, Billy Crudup, for having the most swoon-worthy response to her honesty, too. Fellow Aussie star Guy Pearce is back with a bang – though he never really left – and in the running for an Academy Award for his role in The Brutalist. He’s been working in film and TV since 1986, but reveals there was one producer who refused to give him key roles (page 26). Rachel Griffiths also talks about balancing film and TV work with family life in Australia, and shares details about her risqué new role running a brothel…

Temperatures soared on the Gold Coast on January 26. Why? Because Rita Ora and her director husband, Taika Waititi, enjoyed a PDA-filled beach session. The singer and actress, 34, and Waititi, 49, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they enjoyed a break from work commitments to relish a typical Aussie summer beach day – proving they’re still very much in the honeymoon phase more than two years after tying the knot at their Los Angeles home in August 2022. “It’s very peaceful for me to be able to go to the beach and sit there and read,” Ora told Harper’s Bazaar of what she loves to do while here. Although there wasn’t much reading going on this time around, the Brit simply loves her time in Australia, which…

Mutual friends had tried to set up Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup even before they fell in love on the set of 2017 Netflix series Gypsy. Before “things got hot and frisky ”, Watts recalls in her self-help memoir, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause, she panicked, excusing herself to the bathroom so she could frantically scratch off a hormone patch she had been wearing to deal with her menopause symptoms. When Crudup asked what was wrong, Watts writes that she blurted out, “Menopause!”, telling him, “I didn’t want you to see it because then you would know I’m in early menopause, which means I am old, and you wouldn’t want me and, oh my God, should I just leave?” His response made her “swoon”,…

SAD SPLIT On January 23, Carice van Houten – who shares 8-yearold son Monte with Pearce – confirmed they’d ended their relationship. “We are in a wonderful partnership raising the true love of our lives – our beautiful son,” she posted. Guy Pearce is enjoying the kind of renaissance most actors his age would relish. The only problem is, he never went anywhere to warrant it! The beloved Aussie star – who was born in the UK before moving to Geelong, Victoria, with his family as a 3-year-old – has rarely been off our screens since he made his acting debut in 1986. Yet, despite having worked steadily both on our shores and in Hollywood since then, it’s his latest role, in film The Brutalist – which has been nominated…

Towards the end of eighth grade, when I was 14, I started my own YouTube channel for one reason: money. I saw what YouTube had done for Ruby. If this could pay for college and save me from working at the grocery store after school, I was all in. Although I’d have to get Ruby’s permission first, of course. Ruby’s eyebrow arched. “Your own channel? Better be serious about it.” “I promise I will!” “You’re not old enough for an AdSense account, so I’ll have to manage your earnings.” “Oh, OK…” I said, disappointed. I’d forgotten I wouldn’t be legally allowed to have my own AdSense account until I was 18. “Don’t worry – if your channel is successful, we’ll let the earnings build up,” she continued. “A little nest…

1 TWO-TONE Can’t decide whether you’re team silver or gold – why not give both a go? Two-tone metal moments are all over the place.

Welcome to the era of digital ageing. All the time that we spend in front of screens – about a third of our day on average – isn’t just causing ‘tech neck’ and messing with our circadian rhythms, but science says it’s also visibly ageing our skin. UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTS Given that the average Australian spends upwards of 46 hours in front of a screen each week, should we be concerned? “Blue light can cause changes to the skin cells through oxidative stress, DNA damage and inflammation,” says Dr Yalda Jamali, who specialises in non-invasive cosmetic treatments. “It can impact pathological skin conditions as it increases inflammation and speeds up the ageing process.” Blue light, also known as high energy visible light, is everywhere. TAKE MATTERS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS…

HEAD CASES by John McMahon When a serial killer starts targeting other mass murderers, and the FBI can’t seem to catch a break, Gardner Camden’s analytical brain, along with the expertise of a mathematician, a sniper and a weapons expert is their only chance of stopping the vigilante. THE LOTUS SHOES by Jane Yang Jealous of her new handmaiden Little Flower’s ladylike bound feet and creative talents, Linjing ensures she can never leave her to ascend in society – that is, until the latter’s wealthy family becomes embroiled in scandal and both their lives are thrown into chaos.

who’s news Kate Miller-Heidke will have three new faces beside her when The Voice Australia returns later this year. The Aussie musician, 43, will be joined on the big red chairs by a stellar line-up of international talent, with Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm, Richard Marx and Ronan Keating signing on to be this year’s coaches. Chisholm, 51, is no stranger to our shores, having performed in Australia several times over the years. She is also a reality TV veteran after coaching on the British version of The Voice Kids in 2021 and judging Asia’s Got Talent in 2015. “I have always cherished my trips Down Under over the years, so to be there with such a super line-up of coaches in one of my favourite countries is a real honour,”…

T here’s been one drama after another for the Cyrus family in recent years, and now the siblings are banding together as they plead with their estranged dad, Billy Ray, to urgently get help. The latest feud kicked off after the country star’s “trainwreck” performance at President Trump’s inauguration festivities. He blamed technical difficulties, but Billy Ray’s gruff voice and dishevelled appearance still raised red flags, prompting Trace, 35, to take to Instagram with an emotional open letter to his dad. “It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you,” he wrote. “Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us all away.” According to a Page Six source, behind the scenes, Trace discussed…

W ithout a place to stay after being evicted from his Windsor home in 2023, and needing to make his own private security arrangements, Prince Harry decided to skip the first few days of his trial against News Group Newspapers ahead of taking the witness stand. It was a decision that paid off when the Duke of Sussex was saved from making the trip to England entirely thanks to an unexpected last-minute victory. The 40-year-old had been suing the publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, News Group Newspapers, in London’s High Court, alleging the publications had illegally obtained private information about him from 1996 to 2011. On January 22, a settlement that included the prince receiving a reported eight-figure sum and an “unequivocal apology” was…

From ghosting (the act of suddenly disappearing) to orbiting (when an ex continues to interact with you on social media), dating terms are always evolving – and quite often come with a long list of negative connotations. Considering the heartache dating and relationships can cause, we get it, but if you’re looking to empower yourself while looking for love, clue up on these dating terms with a positive spin. 1. BEIGE FLAG It’s not a red flag, it’s not a green flag, but a beige flag is something a bit more, well, boring. Think people who use the line “I’ll fall for you if you trip me” on their Hinge profiles or make out that liking pineapple on pizza is a big deal. Obviously, these things aren’t total deal-breakers if…

BLAZER “My trusty black blazer is in desperate need of an update after nearly four years of wearing it to death. A tailored, more elevated style is something I want to invest in to last me another few years. Henne’s tailoring is always on point and fits like a dream.” TOP “My current obsession is a half-sleeved oversized T-shirt worn with tailored pants or shorts – and the best place to shop for them is the men’s section. The Uniqlo unisex range is elite and has perfect boxy styles for less than $30.” JEWELLERY “Despite the urge to get a cheap dupe of a Bottega Veneta earring, lately I’ve found the value in buying quality jewellery. Not only will it last seasons, but it’s a more sustainable way to add…

1. PREP AND PRIME 30 SECONDS A flawless base starts with hydrated skin. Smooth on a lightweight, illuminating primer to create a radiant canvas. This ensures that your makeup stays fresh and glowing throughout the day. 2. PERFECT YOUR BASE 1 MINUTE Opt for a sheer to medium coverage foundation for that natural, skin-like finish. Dab concealer sparingly under your eyes and on any blemishes for an even-looking complexion. Set lightly with a translucent powder to keep shine at bay while maintaining a soft glow. Prep around your eyes with these. 4. SUBTLE SMOKY EYES 1.5 MINUTES The key to this sultry yet understated eye look is blending. Apply a warm taupe or light brown shadow all over your lids, blending it slightly above the crease. Smudge a deeper brown…

Congratulations on the success of your music – you’re really getting some traction and a solid following! Thank you! It still feels like yesterday that I was just making music in my room for no-one to hear it, so it’s pretty crazy to me how many people have been tuning in. What’s your favourite track of your own? This changes all the time. I have a funny relationship with my music where every song I make I instantly think it’s the best thing I’ve ever created – and then about a month later, I’ll think it’s not great and start all over again. But in saying that, I have an unreleased song called ‘Paradise’ that has always made me feel something since the day we wrote it. Who are some…

What was the last guilty pleasure you indulged in? I bought a replica Ghostbusters trap and PKE metre online. I’ve already got a proton pack and uniform. I felt guilty about it, mostly because I have children now – and whenever a new toy arrives that’s not for them, it leads to a difficult conversation. “No, no that’s for display only,” is not a satisfying answer to my 10-year-old. When was the last time you danced in public? Fairly recently in Kmart. I was trying to show the kids that I’m cool because I can dance in public and don’t care who sees me! It had the opposite effect, though, and they were embarrassed by their dad dancing in Kmart. What was the last gift you received? A telescope! If…

After her shock split with Hugh Jackman, Deborralee Furness isn’t sitting around moping. During her recent summer holiday to Melbourne, the actress proved she really is busier than ever as she entered the next phase of her life. “I’ve had a few offers for films back here so I’m still reading some scripts. So if there’s something [I decide to take on], that’s great,” the 69-year-old actress told the Herald Sun. “I’ve got some projects in New York. I’m in my chapter three. I’m a creative, I love being creative in a variety of areas and I think I’ll be doing more travelling.” Jackman and Furness announced their separation after 27 years of marriage in September 2023. They share two adult children, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19. Jackman, 56, is…

Hollywood stars Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton are the latest A-list actors to make Australia their temporary home, landing in Sydney last weekend ahead of filming thriller Apex. The mother-of-two, 49, attempted to keep a low profile as she strolled through the airport in sunglasses and a fedora, with her Welsh co-star, 35, not far behind. Leading lady Theron is pulling double duty as co-producer on the Netflix project, which follows a rock climber who finds herself being hunted by Egerton’s psychopathic character in the wild. It’s a step away from Egerton’s last thriller, Carry-On, in which he played a heroic airport security guard. The pair are the latest in a string of celebrities descending on Australia. Last week, Jackie Chan dropped in to watch the Australian Open in Melbourne,…

Angelina Jolie took seven months of voice lessons to play opera legend Maria Callas in the Pablo Larraíndirected biopic Maria (in cinemas now). Still, she wasn’t prepared for the emotional impact singing would have on her, often moving her to tears. “It was the therapy I didn’t realise I needed,” she said in an interview with The Times. “Singing opera requires you to be as emotionally open as you possibly can be – it’s not like singing in the car. It’s cathartic.” The film, Jolie’s first since 2021 Marvel movie The Eternals, marks a move back towards the spotlight for the star, who, while contending with her bitter break-up from ex-husband Brad Pitt, has shifted her focus to humanitarian work, a fashion line, and directing and producing. Jolie, 49, filed…

The advert for a personalised pyjama business could easily have been a scam, but when Tess Nguyen spotted it on Gumtree, her instincts told her it was a winner. Trusting that gut feeling has seen the 29-year-old from Western Sydney make millions. “It was late at night and this ad for Midnight Mischief caught my eye,” she tells WHO. “I’d never heard of personalised pyjamas and I was pretty up-to-date with trends, so I sent an inquiry.” A physiotherapist, not a businesswoman, Tess also checked in with more clued-up friends but, when they saw the numbers the then owner sent, they advised Tess not to buy it. Scan to shop or visit midnightmischief.com.au Something was telling her to do it anyway and, a month later, in 2018, she negotiated the…

There’s an old saying that the eyes don’t lie, so if you’ve started to notice new or unusual symptoms, it could be a sign that your body is trying to tell you something. In most cases, the cause won’t be anything to worry about. However, it’s always safe to see an optometrist or doctor if you notice any new changes between your regular eye test appointments. FLOATERS & FLASHES THE SIGNS These typically occur when the vitreous gel of the eye tugs or bumps against the retina. You might notice floaters and flashes together or separately. Floaters may appear as dots, circles, clouds, cobwebs, lines or other shapes. Flashes can look like an arc of light, or resemble a bolt of lightning or flash from a camera. Specsavers optometrist Michael…

TALENT TIME Hines admits that at the start of each season, she is nervous about whether or not there is any talent left waiting to be unearthed. “It’s a big worry but, of course, there are so many great new people coming forward each year,” she says. Whether she is searching for the next generation of talent on Australian Idol or going about her everyday life, legendary singer Marcia Hines is always looking for stars. “I believe in magic, I love magic,” the 71-year-old tells WHO. “I’m into Chinese astrology and Western astrology. So everybody’s born an animal. The star signs are interesting, but you know I’m an old hippie, so…” she explains with a laugh. What is the best thing about working with Kyle Sandilands and Amy Shark? We…
