He announced it was a “cold gun” – an industry term meaning it was not loaded with ammunition – and handed it to the movie’s star and co-producer, Alec Baldwin. “There are no words to convey my shock”- BALDWIN Moments later, the sheriff’s office received a 911 call. “We have two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun,” explained the caller, who identified herself as a script supervisor. “We need help immediately. We were…

When Buckingham Palace announced Prince Philip had passed away on April 9, it was a stark reminder to the world of his and Queen Elizabeth’s advancing age. Now, just six months after losing her “strength and stay”, the 95-year-old monarch is starting to show signs that she needs to slow down. On October 20, the palace announced the Queen was pulling out of a two-day trip to Northern Ireland due to doctor’s orders. The last-minute revelation came on the day the mini-tour was due to start. “The Queen has reluctantly accepted medical advice to rest for the next few days,” a spokesperson said. “Her Majesty is in good spirits and is disappointed that she will no longer be able to visit Northern Ireland,” they added. A day later it was…

Three days after Travis Barker got down on bended knee in the sand and popped the question, Kourtney Kardashian was still reeling from the romance of it all, posting a slide show of photos from the October 17 beachside proposal to her social media. “I woke up all night thinking it was a dream,” she captioned the images. “He’s being forced to deal with it”-SOURCE For the happy couple’s former flames, it’s closer to a nightmare.

Having taken quite the sabbatical after her split from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is jumping back into the dating world. “Angelina is having so much fun right now, and she’s making up for lost time,” an insider recently told Us Weekly of the Oscar winner. “There’s no pressure or expectation at this point, just a lot of fun, and Angelina’s really enjoying it. Her friends haven’t seen her this up and energised in forever.” While she was declared legally single back in April 2019, Jolie said she didn’t have time for romance.“She wasn’t interested in dating anyone for years after the divorce because she was so busy being a mum and staying on top of her career,” the source continued. However, with the kids growing up before her eyes and…

Following a string of high-profile relationships and flings, Selena Gomez has made an attempt to keep her dating life low-key in recent years, but in 2015 she couldn’t help but gush about one handsome man who had caught her eye. “I kind of have a crush on Chris Evans. Isn’t he cute? He’s very cute,” she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. After Cohen noted Evans’ brother Scott had visited their studios a week earlier, Gomez excitedly added, “Really? Last week? Maybe it’s meant to be.” Cut to six years later and, well, maybe it is meant to be! After keen-eyed fans noticed that Gomez, 29, had joined the short-list of 172 people whom Evans, 40, follows on Instagram, rumours swirled the pair had been spotted leaving the…

“Signs of burnout and stress manifest differently for people, but common signals may be if you find yourself constantly tired, run down and lacking concentration,” Geldenhuys says. “If you are struggling to cope with competing work and life demands, you’re getting annoyed more quickly with work or colleagues, or wake up in the morning dreading the thought of doing your job and going to work, it’s time to seriously consider your mental health.” The longer we leave it, the more difficult it can be to recuperate. “Recovering from severe burnout will take time and is detrimental to your overall health and wellbeing,” she adds. “It can therefore be useful to take stock of how you are feeling emotionally and mentally on a regular basis and to take mental health breaks…

The Bros era of his career spanned less than a decade in the late ’80s and early ’90s – but Matt Goss knows it will always be a huge part of his life. “When I’m in the UK, I do 20 selfies and have 30 conversations with strangers about the band every day,” the 53-year-old tells WHO via Zoom. “Those people are like family and have grown up with me.” But in the years since tracks like ‘When Will I Be Famous’ and ‘I Owe You Nothing’ were smash-hits, Goss has forged an incredibly successful solo career. He’s released four albums and spent 10 years playing sellout shows at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. “The accolades I’ve received during that time and what I learned as a performer, doing more…

Single since breaking up with girlfriend Amelia Hamlin, Scott Disick is reportedly “distancing himself”from the Kardashian family while he copes with the news of his ex’s engagement. “He understands that it’s not Kourtney’s job or Travis’s job to make him OK with this,” says a People source. “It’s his job, and if he’s going to co-parent with Kourtney, which he has been, he has to process this and make his peace with it.” Even as wedding plans are being made, however, he still holds out hope that he’ll eventually win back the mother of his children. “Scott still thinks that they could call things off before the wedding,” a source told Us Weekly.

Growing up as the daughter of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon, Kelly Osbourne is used to living in the spotlight. Over the years, she has been open about her struggles with addiction. In August 2018, the media personality celebrated one year of sobriety only to announce her relapse in April. “This is a little hard for me to talk about, but I’ve always promised you that I will always be honest with you about where I’m at and what’s going on in my road to recovery,” she said in a video posted on her Instagram story. “I relapsed.

Evans and actress Jenny Slate enjoyed a two-year on-off romance, before calling it quits in 2018 – though the pair still remain on good terms. The actor and Minka Kelly were first linked in 2007, before they gave the romance a real shot in 2012 but split the next year. They reportedly gave it one more go in 2015. Evans dated Jessica Biel from 2001 to 2006, and the actress had high hopes for their future. “We both want to be married, and we both want to have children,” she said a year before they split. Gomez and Justin Bieber had an on-off relationship for seven years before ending things for good in 2018. The singer-turned-actress dated fellow Disney Channel star, Nick Jonas, in 2008. “We were babies,” Gomez later…

Shocking diagnosis In July 2018 Sharp (right, with daughter Charlotte) learned she had choriocarcinoma, a rare and fast-spreading cancer in the uterus. During chemotherapy, “Cathey was by my side as I did infusions.” After the cancer returned in 2019, she underwent a partial hysterectomy. IVF and pregnancy success Because Sharp (above right and far right) still has her ovaries, doctors were able to do an egg retrieval. She produced three viable embryos with her husband, one of which was transferred into Stoner in December. Friends threw a joint shower in June “to celebrate both of us – and John Ryder,” Sharp says. A warm welcome “He’s perfect,” says Sharp (above left, with Stoner after John Ryder’s birth). “To be on the other side of grief and loss is so joyful.…

THE ISSUE FINE LINES If you’re noticing fine lines when you look in the mirror, the issue could be dehydration. “With age, hyaluronic acid decreases and that causes dehydration, fine lines and lack of plumpness,” says Jonathan Baughman-Marc, a pharmacist with French skincare brand Filorga. “Hyaluronic acid is a key element of skin structure and can retain 1000 times its weight in water, [so] bringing hyaluronic acid to the skin will bring back…

You’ve been here before. A dark figure is chasing you and you’re escaping. Before you know it, your legs fail and it feels like you’re trying to run in quicksand. You want to get out of the situation, and it’s going to end the way it always does – you waking up scared, frustrated and confused. “Recurring dreams are dreams that repeat themselves – sometimes they are the same, other times the emotion is the same, but the details have changed,” says Rose Inserra, dream analyst and author of Inside Your Dreams. “It may be that the ending is different each time or there are aspects of the recurring dream that are similar, but it’s usually the feeling on waking that you might think or say, ‘Oh, not that dream…

Spring is a time when many of us traditionally set new health and fitness goals. But if you’re already a few weeks into your new routine and yet to see any difference, there could be some very simple reasons. We look at the secret saboteurs to watch out for! YOU’VE SKIPPED RESISTANCE TRAINING “Generally when people are trying to burn fat, they will increase their cardio by doing a lot of running or focusing on HIIT [high-intensity interval training],” Cameron Falloon, the founder of BFT (Body Fit Training) and the former personal trainer of Princess Diana, explains. “However, a more well-rounded approach will be more effective.” This means that while you might be addicted to the treadmill, it may be time to get lifting if you want to see results.…

For reality TV star Luke Toki, checking in to Big Brother’s VIP hotel was far easier than living rough outdoors during his two stints on Australian Survivor. “That show is the hardest because it’s just so taxing on you, but I feel like my time on Big Brother VIP was a bit like being on school camp,” the mining technician from Perth, 35, tells WHO. “But this one is all the popular kids from different schools, and they’ve all just rocked up and everyone’s got an incredible background and amazing stories. And then there’s me!” Celebrity guests including Caitlyn Jenner, Bernard Curry, Jessika Power and Thomas Markle Jnr joined Toki on the show. And while he doesn’t consider himself to be an A-lister, he’s definitely a fan favourite. In 2019,…

For Sally Hepworth, there were “two little kernels” that sparked the inspiration for her new tome. The first one was a call from her great aunt. “She rang me and said, ‘I’m in hospital,’ and the most important thing on her mind was that I went past her house and got this hot water bottle,” Hepworth recalls to WHO. “I went to get it, and it was filled with cash, tens of thousands of dollars.” The other was a few close friends’ fathers had recently remarried women many years their junior, hence, The Younger Wife was born. The story follows two sisters who are livid after discovering their father is seeing a woman their own age, especially considering he is still married to their mother, who is in care with…

James Michael Tyler passed away at the age of 59 on Oct. 24 at his home in Los Angeles. The actor’s death came after a three-year battle with stage 4 prostate cancer. Tyler was known widely for his role as Central Perk coffee shop manager Gunther in Friends.

She recently admitted that she never intended to “go public” with beau Rich Paul back in July. But now that the cat is well and truly out of the bag, it seems Adele is more than happy to show the world just how happy she is in her new relationship!

Just last month, the singer admitted that Paul is the first person she’s dated since…

They’ve been notoriously private about their relationship since they were first linked back in 2017, but there was no stopping Chris Martin from swooning over girlfriend Dakota Johnson while on stage at a recent Coldplay concert. In the middle of the packed London venue, the singer, 44, made a rare public proclamation of love while his long-time partner watched on. As the band’s latest single, ‘My Universe’ began to play, Martin pointed to the 32-year-old amongst the crowd. “This is about my universe, and she’s here,” he gushed to the audience. Not in the habit of flaunting their relationship publicly, Johnson appeared to blush over the attention before throwing her hands in the air to dance along with the song. “Chris is head over heels,” an insider previously told Us…

“I love that my work still resonates with people after so many years”—SAVAGE He’s spent nearly four decades in front of and behind the camera, but being on-set still gives Fred Savage a nostalgic rush. “It just immediately takes me back,” says the actor, 45, whose starring role on the coming-of-age comedy series The Wonder Years, which ran from 1988 to 1993, holds an indelible place in TV history. “Every time, I feel like I’m 12 years old again.” Now an executive producer on the new reboot of The Wonder Years, Savage says he’ll never tire of reminiscing about the show that cemented his career and changed his life. “The fact that I was able to be part of something that endures, at such a young age, is really special…

It’s been months since Princess Charlene jetted off to her native South Africa in May before being struck down with a “severe sinus infection” that left her unable to fly home to Monaco. But after sharing new images of herself, there are grave fears that the former Olympic swimmer, 43, may be hiding a worrying secret. After posting photographs to Instagram in early October, Charlene sparked concern over her health as royal watchers pointed out her “thin arms” and “hollow cheeks”. “You look so frail, please take care,” expressed one well-wisher on social media. The pictures were taken just days before Charlene went under the knife for the third time on October 8 to help fix complications caused by an earlier surgery that was preparing her jaw for dental implants.…

Having kicked off her career in 1978’s Halloween, the frightening film that spawned not only an iconic franchise but a generation of slasher movies, it’s more than a little ironic that Jamie Lee Curtis isn’t a fan of the genre. “I don’t like horror films,” she previously divulged to The New Yorker. “I scare easily – I have since I was a child. Loud noises scare me, suspense music scares me.” “Here I am, 43 years later, still playing Laurie Strode”-CURTIS Despite it being her first film, the role of Laurie Strode – the babysitter hunted by the mask-wearing killer Michael Myers – was seemingly made for the star. But Curtis, 62, has admitted her mother’s iconic shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho some 18 years earlier was what landed…

There are many reasons we ask for time off from work – when we’re sick, for family reasons or when we have travel plans. But an increasing number of employers are recognising the importance of another kind of holiday, one that’s continuing to rise in popularity. Known as the doona day, it’s a way of taking time out to look after your mental wellbeing, while recognising that we all need a break sometimes. “A mental health day or a doona day is a no questions asked, personal leave day that you can take if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed or are struggling to cope with work demands,” explains Madelyn Geldenhuys, associate professor of organisational psychology at the Australian College of Applied Psychology. “Taking a doona day can be a proactive step…

Now Leslie, 41, will captivate audiences on screen in The Luminaries, the six-part adaptation of Eleanor Catton’s 2013 Man Booker Prize-winning novel about fate and coincidences set during the 1860s gold rush in New Zealand.
