WHO Issue 47, 2022

When WHO’s writer Jodie Wolf returned to the office after interviewing American actress Eva Mendes, the whole team fired questions at her. “What was she like? What was she wearing? Did she mention Ryan [Gosling]?” They were the most common ones asked. In response, Jodie says Eva was “lovely and so down to earth”. She’s also “absolutely stunning” in real life and – most excitingly – when Jodie asked Eva a question that mentioned her “husband” Ryan, Eva did not correct her! You can read all of this and more – including about Eva’s interest in cleaning products! – in our exclusive interview starting on page 16. WHO contributor Paul Ewart also caught up with Brit comedian Alan Carr ahead of the start of his Australian tour. The hilarious Carr is…

Adele was “scared and nervous” ahead of her Weekends with Adele residency in Las Vegas, but the 34-year-old powerhouse performer delivered in spades for her show’s opening night on November 18 at the iconic Caesars Palace Colosseum. “I should be giving you a standing ovation, thank you so much for coming back to me,” she told the packed crowd through tears, after cancelling her first residency due to disputes over her set design and choreography. “I really appreciate it. You look amazing and it looks just what I imagined it would look like, it’s perfect,” she said. Sitting in the audience was her rumoured fiancé, Rich Paul, who scored a kiss from the Grammy winner, who’s mum to 10-year-old Angelo. Adele admitted she’s come a long way since her humble beginnings in Tottenham,…

Anyone who’s anyone was at the 2022 Governors Awards on November 19, from Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley to Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Williams, Austin Butler, Tom Hanks ... and the list goes on. But it was Michael J. Fox’s acceptance of his honorary Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, for his contributions to Parkinson’s disease research that had the room in tears. “He’s a genuinely great guy,” Woody Harrelson said upon asking his long-time friend to the stage to accept the gong. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s back in 1991, has raised around $2 billion for the cause. “My optimism is fuelled by my gratitude,” Fox said, recalling the moment he told a teacher of his plans to drop out of high school to pursue an…

Pete Davidson has done it again. Hot on the heels of his split from Kim Kardashian, and her divorce from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, the unassuming comedian has bagged model Emily Ratajkowski. At first there were reports of a date night sighting and then came the pictures we’d all been waiting for – Pete and Em Rata on a date. A source told Us Weekly that Davidson, 29, and 31-year-old Ratajkowski “have been talking for a couple of months now”, but are still “in the very early stages”. “They both really like each other. Pete makes Emily laugh and he loves how intelligent she is,” the source said. Ratajkowski, who shares a 1-year-old son, Sylvester, with Bear-McClard, looked smitten as she cuddled up to Davidson. As for the funnyman, he looked like the…

After five years as host of The Project, Lisa Wilkinson is walking away from the show. “I have to be honest with you,” she said on-air. “The last six months have not been easy. And the relentless, targeted toxicity by some sections of the media has taken a toll, not just on me, but on people I love.” Wilkinson was referring to the backlash she faced after her Logies award acceptance speech in June, which referenced her interview with Brittany Higgins, caused the delay of Bruce Lehrmann’s rape trial. The presenter’s exit follows the departure of colleague Carrie Bickmore, who last month announced she was leaving the show in December after 13 years. Wilkinson told viewers that she was discussing “exciting work ideas” with Network 10. “I have had a ball. But…

When Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks stepped out for the Sydney premiere of Poker Face this month, we were left with so many questions. Did they even break up? If so, for how long? And when did they get back together? Either way, seeing them together after a long red-carpet hiatus was a happy surprise. Hemsworth, 32, looked handsome as he posed alongside Brooks, 24. Rumours about a possible split first circulated earlier this year, but they dispelled those whispers with the November 15 red-carpet date night. His family will also be pleased they’re still on track, three years after they fell for one another. A source told E! News how Hemsworth’s famous and tight-knit family “very much approve [of her] and like having her around. They are happy for…
