Hello! Canada June 16, 2025

This week’s edition of Hello! Canada is a celebration of resilience, reinvention and the power of perseverance. Whether they’re navigating familial drama, public scrutiny, health struggles or all of the above, the stars of this issue remind us that true strength is forged from adversity. Mom of three Christie Brinkley tells us she’s thankful for her extraordinary journey. “Life is beautiful! Every day is a gift to celebrate!” says the iconic model and actress, 71, who has survived near-death experiences – so many, in fact, that her publisher wouldn’t let her include them all in her recent memoir! Another 1980s icon, Brooke Shields, is marking her 60th birthday with a fresh outlook and fierce determination. Today, “I’m the one making the calls in my life,” she says, “not my mother…

When France beckons, Tinseltown’s finest show up in style! Leading the charge at the 78th Cannes Film Festival was beautiful birthday girl Angelina Jolie, who returned to the star-studded French Riviera after a 14-year absence and took the red carpet by storm. On the brink of turning 50 (a milestone she marked on June 4), the mom of six was chosen as “godmother” of this year’s prestigious Trophée Chopard, earning her the privilege of presenting it to two rising stars – French actress Marie Colomb, 30, and British True Detective: North Country actor Finn Bennett, 26 – and spending a year as their mentor. “What brings us here is not carpets, even though they are lovely,” Angelina told the pair before praising their talent. “What brings us here is to…

Over-the-topfashion has always been the calling card of the Sex and the City world, and the season 3 première of spinoff And Just Like That … was no exception, with style star Sarah Jessica Parker leading the way on the red carpet. “I’ve been waiting for an occasion to wear this dress,” the actress, 60, shared in an Instagram video, smiling and twirling in her glamorous navy Vivienne Westwood creation. Fans of the films likely remember another design from the couturier immortalized by Sarah Jessica – the voluminous strapless wedding gown worn by alter ego Carrie Bradshaw in the first Sex and the City movie. Joined by original castmates Cynthia Nixon, 59, and Kristin Davis, 60, Sarah Jessica was pleased to celebrate the third season right at home in the…

‘IT’S AN INTERESTING EMOTIONAL JOURNEY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE DONE AND WHERE YOU’VE BEEN’Christie For Christie Brinkley, everything comes down to love. “It really is the most powerful thing that drives you,” she tells Hello! Canada. And this woman is driven. At just 18, Christie followed her heart, relocating from Los Angeles to Paris in hopes of pursuing a career in art. Within a year, she was discovered by a photographer, who told her she had model potential. Snapped up by top agency Elite, the self-described “surfer girl” moved back to California, landed three ad campaigns and never looked back. Now, at 71, with more than 500 magazine covers under her belt and acting credits spanning TV, film and theatre, the New York City resident has added author to…

Parental pride was on full display when actress Naomi Watts stepped out to support her younger child in New York City. The pair attended and co-hosted the Mother Daughter Holy Spirit party, a fundraiser for the Trans Justice Funding Project. Naomi, 56, looked glam in a shiny black suit and shimmering top that perfectly matched 16-year-old Kai’s dazzling ensemble. The teen came out as transgender following her March runway debut for Valentino at Paris Fashion Week, later expressing gratitude to both of her parents for their love and support: “There are so many boys and girls like me who can’t say they have the same blessing.” “Kai is such a fighter,” her father, actor Liev Schreiber, 57, said recently, speaking of his daughter’s passion for raising awareness. “It’s important that…

Like mother, like son! Princess Eugenie shared a series of sweet photos on younger son Ernest’s big day – and fans were quick to point out just how much the royal pair resemble each other. “Happy birthday, my darling Ernie. 2 today,” the princess, 35, captioned the Instagram post in a touching tribute on May 30. “What an incredible two years it’s been. Always smiling, always laughing, always giving hugs and hellos and making everyone happy. My golden boy, we love you!” The adored toddler is Eugenie’s second child with her husband of six years, Jack Brooksbank, 29. They are also proud parents to August, 4 (above right, L, playing outside with his brother). As a non-working member of the Royal Family, Eugenie – who is the niece of King…
