Ready for the chop

While celebrities have copped a lot of flack in recent weeks for encouraging us to stay home while they’re enjoy the comfort of their palatial mansions complete with pools and tennis courts, there has been one great leveller during this lockdown period – hair. A-list stars have been forced to take matters into their own hands when it comes to their haircuts and the results have ranged from gorgeous – I’m looking at you, David Beckham – to downright hilarious. Miley Cyrus kicked off the trend, giving boyfriend Cody Simpson a buzz cut, and singer Pink gave herself a trim before husband Carey Hart followed suit. “Stay safe. Stay home. Cut your own hair! Screw it,” Pink quipped. While David Beckham looked as stunning as ever with his closely shaved…

1D are back! One Direction are reforming to celebrate the band’s 10th anniversary, but it looks like Zayn Malik might be headed in a different direction. Liam Payne confirmed the rumours on Sunday during an Instagram Live chat with Swedish DJ Alesso. ”We’ve been trying to arrange the first group FaceTime with the boys,” he said. ”I can’t say too much. Louis told me off for revealing a bit of our plans the other day.”Whispers swirled that Malik was set to rejoin after the other four started following him on Instagram, but Payne told the DJ, ”Maybe you could fill in for Zayn.” Wife defends Bublé after backlash Crooner Michael Bublé faced backlash recently after he behaved in what some fans thought was an ‘abusive’ way to his wife, Luisana…

Together we’re strong

To honour those working on the coronavirus frontlines, Lady Gaga tapped some of the world’s biggest celebrities to perform the online concert One World: Together at Home on April 18. Gaga, who has been self-isolating with boyfriend Michael Polansky (who she referred to as “the love of my life” in an interview promoting the special) kicked off the eight-hour live-streaming event. “What I’d like to do tonight is just give you, if I have permission, a moment to smile,” she said before launching into a soulful rendition of Nat King Cole’s ‘Smile’ on the piano. “This is a love letter to you”– LADY GAGA Stevie Wonder then performed the late Bill Withers’ ‘Lean On Me’ and ‘Love’s In Need of Love Today’, followed by Sir Paul McCartney, who belted out ‘Lady…

CAMERON DIAZ Motherhood, Benji, & Baby Raddix

Cameron Diaz is enjoying every moment of newborn baby bliss. On January 4, she and husband Benji Madden announced the birth of daughter, Raddix. Since then, the notoriously private couple have remained tight-lipped about their new family addition following five years of marriage. In a rare Instagram live interview with friend Katherine Power, Diaz gave a glimpse into life as a new mum and how she’s coping while self isolating at their Los Angeles home. “I’ve kinda been living a quarantine life anyhow because I have a 3-month-old. So my life has been completely quiet and still for the last few months,” Diaz shared. “But I was able to have my friends over all the time. And now I just don’t see anybody.” However, the actress revealed she was secretly…

MOST ICONIC MOVIE MOMENTS

THE MASK In 1994, Diaz portrayed Tina Carlyle, a jazz singer who danced her way into Jim Carrey’s heart. The role instantly launched her on the path to stardom. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY The raunchy comedy further catapulted Diaz into the big time, as she starred alongside Ben Stiller in 1998 with that infamous but hilarious hair gel scene. MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING Who could forget the time Julia Roberts plotted to sabotage Cameron Diaz’s on-screen wedding? This 1997 rom-com is a girls-night-in classic. CHARLIE’S ANGELS Donning sexy, skin-tight pants, Diaz turned crime-fighting action hero alongside Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu in the 2000 blockbuster.

Harry & Meghan GIVING BACK

They may have been wearing protective face masks and baseball caps, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle couldn’t go unrecognised as they stepped out in their new neighbourhood in LA on April 17. Spotted for the first time since they made the move from Canada, the former senior royals had their arms full with meals they were personally delivering to those most in need during the COVID-19 crisis. Wasting no time getting started on their philanthropic work in the area, Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, have thrown their support behind non-profit charity Project Angel Food, which provides groceries to people living with critical illnesses who are at higher risk during the pandemic. It’s believed the duchess was inspired to work with the organisation by her mother Doria Ragland, who has…

Duchess Meghan’s PRIVATE PAIN

Two years after Meghan Markle’s wedding to Prince Harry was beset with dysfunctional family drama, the couple’s text messages to her father, Thomas Markle, have been released as part of a legal case against the Mail on Sunday. The couple are seeking damages after the paper published extracts of a “private and confidential” letter Meghan wrote to her dad after he failed to show up to her big day. The Duchess of Sussex’s legal team lodged papers, obtained by news outlet TMZ, which show that Meghan and Harry repeatedly reached out to Thomas, 75, after the former movie lighting director was sprung staging paparazzi photos for cash days before he was set to walk Meghan down the aisle on May 19, 2018. “If you love Meg, please call”–PRINCE HARRY “I’ve…

‘I’m just enjoying the moment’

Strange as it may seem, there once was a time when Chris Hemsworth wasn’t one of Hollywood’s leading men, wielding Thor’s mighty hammer and smashing box-office records as part of The Avengers. But after a decade of shooting film after film and banking more than he ever dreamed possible, Hemsworth had an epiphany mid-2019, realising he’d reached a point where he could slow down and enjoy the fruits of his labour. “This year I probably won’t shoot anything,” the 36-year-old actor told The Daily Telegraph. “I just want to be at home now with my kids. They are at a very important age. They are still young and they are aware when I leave more than before.” Last year was frenetic, with Men in Black: International and Avengers: Endgame so…

‘I’M SO LUCKY’

It was part of her schtick that she wasn’t the traditional type to get married and have kids, but comedian Amy Schumer is the first to admit that changing her beliefs has made her the happiest she’s ever been. “Oh my God, it’s the best. I’m so lucky,” Schumer told ET of becoming a mum to her son Gene, who celebrates his milestone first birthday on May 5. And her baby boy will be marking his first year on earth with a new name, after Schumer admitted that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, had made a huge – albeit humorous – mistake when they chose his original moniker. “It’s now Gene David Fischer,” Schumer revealed on her podcast Amy Schumer Presents: 3 Girls, 1 Keith. “It was Gene…

BELLA HADID The model, 23, vehemently denies going under the knife, telling InStyle mag she’s “scared” of having any cosmetic procedures. “People think I got all this surgery or did this or that,” she said. “[But] I’m scared of putting fillers into my lips. I wouldn’t want to mess up my face.” However, Dr Sara Linton, from Sydney’s Concept Cosmetic Medicine – who hasn’t treated Hadid or any of these celebrities – suspects she’s had rhinoplasty and may have used “Botox to lift her brows and to inject into her masseters [jaw muscles] for facial slimming”. She may also rely on filler to plump up her cheekbones and contour her jawline. BRIE LARSON The 30-year-old Captain Marvel actress has been acting since she was 9 years old, and has long…

Baldwins’ BABY JOY

Hollywood couple Hilaria and Alec Baldwin have some happy news to share – they are expecting their fifth child! Taking to Instagram, the 36-year-old expectant mum wrote: “Just got the great news that all is well, and all is healthy with this little munchkin. I wanted to share this with you.” But while the couple are obviously overjoyed, Hilaria tells WHO that her exciting announcement was bittersweet not only due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but also in the wake of suffering a devastating miscarriage just five months ago. “I didn’t really know what to say because it was so soon after I lost my last baby,” she says, after enduring two heartbreaking miscarriages in 2019. “I didn’t have the words to announce everything and I didn’t want to turn the…

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS AT RISK

More women than ever are phoning family violence hotlines as a direct result of the government’s strict lockdown laws to slow the spread of COVID-19. While from a medical standpoint, Australia has been much more successful than other countries at keeping the virus under control and flattening the curve, it comes at a high price for some – particularly those stuck under the same roof as their abusers. In the past two months there has been a 75 per cent increase in Google searches of how to escape family violence. Women’s Safety NSW – a representative body for women’s domestic and family violence services in the state – reported that 40 per cent of its counsellors had seen an upsurge in client numbers. Horrifyingly, abusers are also using the current…

25 YEARS: TOY STORY TO INFINITY & BEYOND

As the first ever full-length 3D computer-animated movie, Toy Story was so much more than just a heartwarming, hilarious, adventure-filled look into the secret life of toys. The 1995 hit was a history-making movie that delighted audiences of all ages, and catapulted Pixar Animation Studios into the big league. ANIMATION SENSATION Following the story of Woody and Buzz Lightyear – two beloved toys in a young boy’s bedroom who come alive when no-one’s looking – Toy Story indulged audiences young and old in the joys of childhood, imagination and make believe. But along with delighting audiences young and old, the modern-day classic – which turns 25 in 2020 – shook up the world of animated movies. The film was so successful it went on to spawn a global franchise –…

SEAN HAYES ‘It helps to laugh’

Sean Hayes, the Emmy-winning actor best known for playing Jack McFarland on Will & Grace, has a proposal for you: He’s running low on yoghurt at home. Would you trade some for his hand sanitiser? “This is the new currency,” he jokes. With the final episode of NBC’s wildly successful Will & Grace revival airing on April 24, Hayes, 49, is now looking forward to what’s next. The Chicago-born actor, who trained as a classical pianist before breaking into comedy, is considering a talk show after the success of his guest-hosting stints on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. But first there’s Lazy Susan, a new film he co-wrote and stars in as a deeply unambitious woman who doesn’t know what to do with her life. She has a tough mother, played…

Mariska Hargitay ‘Don't get mad. Do something about it’

One of the few certainties in Hollywood is that absolutely nothing, ever, is a sure thing. Back in 1999, the odds of success for a procedural drama series with a decidedly grim premise –following the NYPD detectives who investigate sex crimes – were not exactly promising. But when Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (now known more familiarly as SVU) premiered on NBC, it was an instant hit – and it has gone on to become the longest-running drama series in TV history, with 21 seasons and counting. The actress at its centre, Mariska Hargitay, became not only a star but also a passionate activist. As SVU grew in popularity, Hargitay received more and more letters from real-life survivors of sexual assault, opening up to her about what they had…

FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE

In 2009, Hargitay learnt about America’s enormous number of untested rape kits – DNA and other evidence taken from victims that was being shelved by police and prosecutors because of lack of funding or motivation to move forward with cases. Her Joyful Heart Foundation soon made its ‘End the Backlog’ initiative a priority. “I couldn’t believe this could happen,” Hargitay says. Her Emmy-winning 2018 HBO documentary I Am Evidence spotlighted rape survivors whose kits went long ignored and showed the results of efforts in Cleveland, Detroit and Los Angeles to clear their backlogs, leading to thousands of matches to DNA databases and the identification of hundreds of potential serial rapists. (Joyful Heart also offers education and advocacy programs for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse.) “Eradicating the…

FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE

Shannon Molloy was in Year 8 at an all-boys rugby-obsessed Catholic school in Yeppoon, in regional Queensland. And he was gay. As he struggled to come to terms with his sexuality, he was viciously bullied by his schoolmates. In his most despairing moment, Molloy attempted to take his own life. Fourteen, written by Molloy – now 34, and a senior writer for News Corp – is a coming-of-age story of pain and confusion, but also one of survival and love. Molloy is now married to partner Robert Battisti. The following is an edited extract from Fourteen. Mr Cartwright’s style of ‘counselling’ was straight out of a social work textbook. He sat forward slightly, his elbows resting on his knees, head extended so as to appear thoughtful. And he did not…

Kennedy curse continues

They’ve been described as the nearest thing the US has to royalty: a powerful and glamorous political dynasty that included a president, an attorney general and two senators – but one plagued by a stream of tragedies stretching back more than 60 years. This month, the lives of two more Kennedys were cut short, prompting renewed interest in the so-called ‘Kennedy curse’. The body of Maeve Kennedy McKean, 40 – the granddaughter of Senator Robert F Kennedy (President JFK’s brother) – was recovered from Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, on April 6 after she and her 8-year-old son, Gideon, went missing on April 3. The little boy’s body was found a few days later. Maeve’s shattered husband David McKean revealed that the family, including two other children, Gabrielle, 7, and 2-year-old Toby,…

Eminem ‘I’M SO PROUD OF HAILIE’

Eminem is finally talking about being a parent, sharing that “being able to raise kids” is one of his greatest accomplishments. Speaking on podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, the 47-year-old opened up about how “proud” he is of his daughter Hailie Jade Scott. “No babies,” Eminem replied when Tyson asked if Hailie, 24, had any children of her own. “Just a boyfriend. She’s doing good. She’s made me proud for sure.” The rapper also revealed that Hailie, his daughter with ex Kim Scott, has graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in psychology. “It definitely is crazy,” the rapper said of how much his daughter has grown up. “I have a niece that I have helped raise, too, that’s … pretty much like a daughter to me, and she…

COCAINE COVER-UP

F or 10 years, Sonja Farak worked as a technician at a drug testing lab in Amherst, Massachusetts, processing up to 10 different samples of narcotics every day. The fates of thousands of defendants were based entirely on her analysis of crack cocaine, crystal meth, ketamine, marijuana and MDMA. Sometimes she had to appear in court herself to testify that all the correct procedures had been followed. But what no-one knew was that Farak had become an addict herself, and was regularly taking the very Class A drugs she was being sent by prosecutors. As her dependency grew, most of her work was done while she was high on powerful illegal substances, and when her habit was finally uncovered, every case she’d worked on was suddenly in doubt. How many…

Double-take K ATE

She’s famous for her impeccable taste and sense of style, and now Kate Middleton is receiving praise for recycling previously worn outfits in an effort to discourage fast fashion. Before the COVID-19 lockdown, she had managed to re-wear at least seven outfits to official engagements in the past year – and why shouldn’t she! She has worn pieces for the second time to several weddings, including Harry and Meghan’s, leading to speculation she does it so as not to upstage the brides. When she was pregnant with Prince George, she recycled a $75 Topshop dress she’d worn just a month earlier to the nuptials of friends. Fashion writer Elizabeth Holmes argues there is another reason behind Kate’s decision. “The royals want less focus on their clothes. It takes the spotlight…

• DRESS SIZE BEFORE 18 • DRESS SIZE AFTER 12 Swim and childcare teacher Beverley Schultz, 30, was always meaning to lose weight ‘tomorrow’ but somehow that day never came.“I was a member of a local gym but barely ever went. I would eat nothing all morning, then binge from the afternoon to late through the night. I wasn’t mentally strong enough to put my health first,” she says. As a result, she became very overweight and unhappy. When she saw the Wimp2Warrior Challenge (wimp2warrior.com) advertised on Facebook, Beverley decided the method, which transforms beginners into competent MMA fighters in just 20 weeks, was the push she needed.

At the time of writing, Australians are being advised to reduce social contact and work from home if possible to reduce the spread of COVID-19. As a result, the Australian Association of Psychologists (AAP) reports that as many as 70 per cent of psychologist appointments are being cancelled, even though we need to look after our mental health more than ever. “It’s important to remember at this time that health is not just the absence of disease and is not only physical health,” says Tegan Carrison, the executive director of the AAP. “A person’s health also includes their mental wellbeing. Psychologists are mental health professionals and can assist with a wide range of issues and concerns.” Carrison says while you should refrain from seeing your psychologist in person, it’s important…

Mouthy to the point of insubordination at school, she’s also incredibly intelligent, which results in her status as an outcast, but one whose sharp wit her peers don’t want to be on the receiving end of.

ALL THIS TIME AT HOME AND STILL SO MUCH TV TO WATCH

There have been many reasons to despair during the COVID-19 crisis – serious illness and tragic deaths; despicable hoarders; inconsistent official information; finger pointing over the Ruby Princess debacle; inadequate stimulus packages that have left many wanting, and racist attacks. In many ways, I’ve been happy to isolate at home with my family while we do our bit to help flatten the curve. Who wants to go out into the world right now? And as someone who doesn’t need to be told twice to watch TV, I welcomed the chance to catch up on shows I haven’t got around to seeing. At least, that was the plan.

What led you to write The Paris Secret? I heard about the Darnell collection – Doris Darnell gifted her Australian goddaughter 70 boxes comprising a vintage fashion collection gathered over decades. I thought that sounded like the most heavenly inheritance! So I decided to write a book about a woman who discovers a collection of Dior gowns hiding in an abandoned cottage belonging to her grandmother – one gown for every year dating back to Christian Dior’s very first collection in 1947. Do you feel nervous writing about people who existed in the past? I felt especially nervous writing about Christian’s sister,…

John Logan, Penny Dreadful’s architect, was just as shocked as the rest of us to learn there were more stories to tell. The three-time Oscar nominee saw that first iteration of his series – which concluded in 2016 after three seasons – as a “beautifully complete sonnet” for Eva Green’s Vanessa Ives, and he initially turned down a follow-up when the network came knocking. Then, he says, something happened: “The world changed with such a seismic crash everywhere around us.” More specifically, Logan points to “the worldwide resurgence of political extremism, atavistic nationalism, dangerous demagoguery, and the vehement racism and anti-Semitism,” with Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (on Stan from Sun., Apr. 26) as his response to it. To understand the present, the show’s writer-creator goes back to 1938 LA…
