WHO Issue 40, 2022

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since the lives of 202 people, including 88 Australians, were taken in a hideous act of terrorism in Bali. From that terrible night on October 12, 2002 came heartbreaking tales of loss, unimaginable terror, and inspiring acts of bravery and survival. It changed us as a nation, as we grappled with the fact that we were not isolated from terrorism and were, in fact, targets. Through the stories of just a handful of people who were caught up in the horror, we hope to pay tribute and remember all those who suffered in so many different ways as a result of those unconscionable acts. We also thank those involved for reliving the painful memories of that time. Our special feature begins on…

Harry Highpants has never looked so good. Model Lara Worthington’s brief trip Down Under involved a photo shoot with some very, err ... high briefs for British clothing label Aries – a look only she could pull off! The 35-year-old mother of three was spotted posing at a Sydney beach in an array of quirky street looks – a glimpse of what style lovers can expect in boutiques for the season ahead. Worthington’s style has evolved over the years. We first grew to love her as a beach babe in Tourism Australia’s Where The Bloody Hell Are You? campaign. Then she upped the ante, adopting looks by popular Aussie designers during her WAG years until she found the perfect match as a fashionista enlisted by the likes of Vogue and even Kanye…

Kate Hudson leaned into the good times during a September 26 trip to Disneyland with her fiancé, Danny Fujikawa, their daughter, Rani Rose, who turned 4 on October 2, and 11-year-old son Bing, whom Hudson shares with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy. The big day out appeared to be an early birthday treat for their “dreamy girl”. On Rani’s birthday, Hudson penned a heartfelt message on Instagram. “Rani fills our hearts so full of love as she meets every day with enthusiasm, beauty and humour,” she wrote. Hudson’s son Ryder, 18, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Robinson, was absent from the excursion, having left the fold to start college. “I’ll have a moment where I’ll just start crying because something will just hit me that he’s not here. But he’s having a…

Fans, famous friends and fellow hip hop artists were rocked by the news that rapper Coolio, best known for his 1995 Grammy-winning single ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’, had died suddenly on September 28. “A life cut entirely too short,” posted Michelle Pfeiffer. “As some of you may know, I was lucky enough to work with him on [movie] Dangerous Minds in 1995. He won a Grammy for his brilliant song on the soundtrack – which I think was the reason our film saw so much success. I remember him being nothing but gracious. Thirty years later, I still get chills when I hear the song.” In July 2022, the song reached a milestone of one billion views on YouTube. TMZ reported that Coolio, born Artis Leon Ivey Jr, had gone to the bathroom…

Singer Dua Lipa and comedian Trevor Noah set tongues wagging after dining together at Miss Lily’s Jamaican restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village on September 28. “They seemed very into each other, leaning in over the table, sharing food and enjoying their conversation,” an eyewitness told Entertainment Tonight. Noah, 38, split with Euphoria actress Minka Kelly in May, with an insider telling People at the time he was “too focused on work and didn’t have enough time for a relationship”. A day after his date with Lipa, 27, Noah announced he was leaving his gig as host of The Daily Show. “I’ve loved hosting the show. It’s been one of my greatest challenges. It’s been one of my greatest joys,” he said. “After seven years, I feel like it’s time.” One…

My little miracle!!! Born after 10 hours of labour on 27/9/22 at 5.20pm.” While the baby is not the first for Lewis – she is mum to daughters Nava, 7, and Myka, 4 – it is the first time she has used an anonymous sperm donor. “Just the other day, one of the girls asked, ‘Who is the daddy of the baby?’” Lewis shared on the No Filter podcast. “She doesn’t know what ‘anonymous’ means, so she thinks his name is anonymous. It’s really…
