Hailey Bieber can’t wait to become a parent despite being estranged from her famous father, Stephen Baldwin. The 27-year-old model and beauty entrepreneur is expecting a baby any day now with her Canadian superstar husband, Justin Bieber, 30 (below right) – and she’s content knowing they’ll tackle child-rearing all on their own. “I’m not super close with my family at this point in my life because I feel like I’m very independent,” confessed Hailey (below left with her father, mom Kennya and older sister Alaia in 2008). “I’ve built my own family.” After her comments went public in W magazine (above left), dad Stephen, 58, posted a video from his car, seemingly addressing his daughter. “I love you,” he said to the camera, writing in the caption: “Today, staying positive…

More than a year after their majestic coronation, King Charles and Queen Camilla have unveiled their official portraits as Canada’s reigning monarchs. Taken in Buckingham Palace’s White Drawing Room, the images show the couple proudly displaying their connection to the Commonwealth country. Around King Charles’s neck hangs the Order of Canada insignia that he received in 2017, while Camilla wears the platinum-and-diamond Maple Leaf Brooch that King George VI originally gave to his wife, Queen Elizabeth, in honour of her first state visit here in 1939. “We’re seeing history unfold in front of our eyes with the official portrait of the King,” notes the Monarchist League of Canada’s chairman, Robert Finch. “Most Canadians alive today knew no other monarch than Queen Elizabeth II, so it’s a bit strange for us.…

Sandra and Keanu Reeves made history with the movie Speed (above, at the 1994 première of the action flick) and shared a spark in The Lake House (bottom). The two are intrinsically linked, so it seems fitting that both stars are enjoying 60th birthdays this year (his is on Sept. 2). And while they celebrate the big 6-0, Speed (left) has also reached a milestone: it’s been 30 years since the release of the highly successful blockbuster! “Lightning doesn’t strike like that twice, and it struck and no one expected it to strike like that,” Sandra told the hosts of 50 MPH, a podcast dedicated to the motion picture. Unfortunately, Speed 2: Cruise Control didn’t fare quite as well. Keanu passed on the project, and Sandra has voiced regrets about…

A memory close to Victoria Beckham’s heart is the time she spent living on San Ysidro Drive in Los Angeles. “It brings back such happy memories – hiking with the children in the canyons, surfing with the kids,” she says.

EXPLORE Known as Italy’s Renaissance city, Florence is a dream destination for lovers of art and cultural wonders. The Duomo, completed in the 15th century, will take your breath away (as will the cathedral’s 463-step climb to the top). And the Galleria dell’Accademia – home to Michelangelo’s David – will leave a lasting impression, too. Meanwhile, the historic city centre is a joy to explore on foot. For something entirely different, take a day trip to a hillside village – Saturnia’s thermal hot springs (1) are worth the jaunt. INDULGE Shopping opportunities abound in the leather capital of Europe. Local gems such as Benheart drive home the point with a selection of customizable jackets, shoes, belts and more. If you’re looking for something with sparkle, Ponte Vecchio – the famous…

Dynamic duo Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively put their sizzling chemistry on full display at the world première of Deadpool & Wolverine in New York City, where its star had a little secret to share. Taking to the stage ahead of the screening, Ryan, 47, made a rare reference to his children. “I want to thank my kids, James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here,” he said, casually dropping the name of his fourth child, which had remained a secret since the baby’s birth 16 months ago. In another revelation, the proud dad shared that little Olin is the only boy in the family, joining older sisters James, 9, Inez, 7, and four-year-old Betty. (Their names are no secret, as Taylor Swift has mentioned all three girls in various songs…

‘It was like a wave that just felt right’– PRIYANKA ON SAYING YES TO NICK Time flies when you’re in love! And for Nick Jonas and wife Priyanka Chopra, it feels like just yesterday that they pledged to spend the rest of their lives together. “Cannot believe it’s been six years since this day!” Priyanka, 42, wrote on Instagram in July, alongside a happy snap of herself and Nick from the night of their 2018 engagement. Nick, 31, was clearly feeling sentimental, too. “I asked the most amazing woman in the world to marry me six years ago today,” he penned, adding, “Thank you for saying yes.” The couple – who tied the knot in December of that year and now share two-year-old daughter Malti – had a unique start…

Making a stylish splash – and offering no apologies for her daring fashion choices – British actress Kate Beckinsale touched down in Italy for a lavish benefit hosted by Andrea Bocelli and his wife, Veronica Berti. The Fool’s Paradise star, 51, stole the show at the Italian tenor’s Fab Thirties bash in a backless Stephane Rolland couture dress with a plunging neckline and sculptural skirt (right and above right, with Andrea). A sequin headband, a beaded veil and platform heels completed the look. The outing proved to be most welcome for Kate since opening up about her hospitalization and intense weight loss brought on by the “stress and grief” of her mother’s cancer and her stepfather’s death. Also having a blast were Canadian music legends Shania Twain and David Foster…

This year has been one of personal challenges for King Charles. But, despite still undergoing cancer treatment, the monarch, 75, has continued to follow the royal mantra “Keep calm and carry on” while prioritizing the well-being of his family. And it’s the latter trait, says royal author Ingrid Seward, that makes Charles a mould-breaking monarch. While both he and Princess Kate were recovering from surgery earlier this year, even before their almost-simultaneous cancer diagnoses, “the King gave [his son and heir] Prince William licence to be with his family,” notes Ingrid, adding that this was a departure from royal tradition. “Charles always put duty first because that’s what his mother [the late Queen] did. But he doesn’t want the same thing to happen to his son. He wants William to…

‘I’m so happy to be here with you this week!’– CELINE DION In a courageous, moving and surprise performance at the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris, Celine Dion stepped back into the spotlight to the delight of fans around the world. The Canadian superstar arrived in the City of Light ahead of the 16-day athletic event and immediately sparked speculation that she would be participating in the show – what would be her first public concert in five years. Celine, who’s been battling stiff person syndrome – a rare neurological disorder that leads to debilitating spasms – had formally stepped away from the stage in 2022 to focus on her health. With the release of the recent documentary I Am: Celine Dion, audiences learned of the scope of her illness…

Catching up with Hello! Canada on the eve of the Summer Olympics opening ceremony, Donovan Bailey is in good spirits as he prepares for his gig as a CBC commentator – though he’s decided to stay close to home for the Games. “Paris is chaotic when it’s regular Paris. Factor in the Olympics – oh boy!” jokes the 56-year-old sprint champion (and former world record holder) from his hometown of Oakville, Ont. “I’m choosing Toronto, where I’ll be in the studio with my guys.” Beyond his athletic prowess – which earned him two Olympic gold medals at the 1996 Games in Atlanta – Donovan, now a successful entrepreneur, has spent the past three decades building businesses, giving back through his charitable foundation and writing his memoir, Undisputed: A Champion’s Life,…

Jennifer Lopez was truly the belle of the ball when she celebrated her 55th birthday by throwing a Bridgerton-themed party at her home in the Hamptons. Ever the fashionista, the superstar dazzled in an over-the-top embroidered dress by Indian couturier Manish Malhotra. “Its floral sequin motif is illuminated by over half a million crystals,” the designer noted. Later, J.Lo switched to a green Elie Saab Haute Couture chiffon gown with an off-the-shoulder neckline. She also got loud with the décor, channelling the show’s period set. A horse-drawn carriage, an orchestra and golden thrones were complemented by dancers with Regency-style routines and a performance by the hostess herself. “Dearest gentle reader … and a splendid evening was had by all,” the actress and singer wrote on Instagram in the manner of…

Continuing the process of disassociation from her famous father, Brad (below right), Shiloh Jolie has taken the next steps to remove “Pitt” from her surname, printing a public announcement in the Los Angeles Times. While it was reported that Shiloh, 18, had taken out an ad to share the news, her attorney, Peter Levine, insisted that this was a necessary action. “I am required to publish a legal notice because the law in California requires that of anyone who wants to change their name.” He added that her decision came about as a result of “painful events.” The teen and her siblings – Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Knox and Vivienne – have been raised predominantly by mom Angelina Jolie since their parents’ separation in 2016 (top right, the family in happier…

It was a starry night on the French Riviera as Hollywood’s finest gathered for a worthy cause. Leading the royal charge at the Knights of Charity Gala was Sarah, Duchess of York, who oozed sophistication and elegance in a black-and-white Kalika gown by London-based brand Safiyaa paired with matching opera gloves. The mom of two completed her look with diamond drop earrings and a chic Ethan K purse to perfectly capture the event’s theme: film costumes worn by Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. Having last visited the city in May during the film festival to auction off a painting of her late mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth II, Sarah, 64, was thrilled to catch up with friends including (clockwise, from top right) Veronica Berti – whose husband, Andrea Bocelli, performed – as…

It’s been a tumultuous few years for Sandra Bullock, but America’s sweetheart just might be ready for her close-up once again. Two years have already passed since the star stepped back from her film career with a mind to spending time with loved ones. “I don’t want to be beholden to anyone’s schedule other than my own,” the mother of two told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022, alluding to burnout after decades in showbiz. Clearly, she was needed at home. Then, on Aug. 7, 2023, it was revealed that Sandra had lost her partner of eight years, Bryan Randall, to ALS, which gave fans more context about her hiatus. The photographer had battled the rare neurological disease behind closed doors since his diagnosis in 2020 and ultimately succumbed to complications…
