When Jillian Harris first found out there was an old cattle farm for sale in Kelowna, B.C., she knew buying it could go one of two ways. “It was one of those instances where you’re like, ‘This could be the craziest, most reckless financial decision I’ll ever make, or it could become this wonderful legacy for our family,’” she tells Hello! Canada. Despite her concerns, the former Love It or List It Vancouver star – and alum of The Bachelorette franchise – was ready to seal the deal after just one visit to the tranquil 11-acre property, which is nestled on the shores of Okanagan Lake. “It just spoke to me,” says Jillian as she recalls seeing it for the first time in 2020 with her partner of more than…

A toast to Cameron Diaz! The Charlie’s Angels star and newly minted mom of two made a rare appearance alongside A-list pals Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow for the anniversary of her Avaline organic-wine company, launched in 2020. Looking as angelic as ever in a white sundress set off by her long blond locks, Cameron, 51, gushed about the garden party in the Hamptons on Instagram after the event. “What a wonderful evening it was,” she penned, sharing snaps from the festive gathering. “We sipped on wine and enjoyed a candlelit dinner together – all while the sun went down. It’s been a magical four years. Cheers to many more!” Cameron famously stepped back from acting in 2014 to focus on raising daughter Raddix, 4, and her infant son Cardinal,…

Baby Matilda’s TV career started with a big bang as she made her first on-set appearance – at just 17 months old! “When your little lady visits you at work for the first time, it deserves a permanent post!” proud mom Kaley Cuoco, 38, enthused while documenting the happy occasion on Instagram with photos taken on the set of her latest series, Based on a True Story. Admitting she’d been dreaming about this moment “since the day Matilda was born,” the Big Bang Theory star joked, “Maybe she will share this pic in 20 years, when she is on the Late Show!” Unlike Hollywood parents who prefer to keep their children out of the spotlight, Kaley – who welcomed her baby girl last March with her partner, fellow actor Tom…

Prince Edward’s wife was seen jumping for joy, waving her arms in the air, shrieking and hugging her fellow spectators (above) as the women’s team broke the world record to clinch Britain’s first-ever Olympic medal in the event. “A huge congratulations … from your very proud patron!” the duchess wrote on the Royal Family’s social media accounts, referring to her position with the British Cycling Federation. One of Britain’s most stylish royals, Sophie, 59, continued her fashion reign in Paris, donning a vibrant purple floral midi dress by Montreal-born designer Erdem – a favourite of Princess Kate.

She first captivated us as the beautiful university sophomore who’d won the heart of Britain’s most eligible bachelor, Prince William. More than two decades later, public fascination with Kate, Princess of Wales, hasn’t waned. In fact, it’s only intensified, particularly since the mystery surrounding her abdominal surgery and subsequent revelation of her private cancer battle. All of this and more is examined in the new biography Catherine: The Princess of Wales by royal author Robert Jobson. “She certainly has captured the imagination,” he says of the future Queen, noting that the princess’s qualities weren’t always appreciated (particularly as she exemplifies the late Queen’s motto of “keep calm and carry on”). It was only when she shared her shocking cancer diagnosis in March that “people realized what they had for the…

To his fans, Robin Williams was one of Hollywood’s funniest celebrities, whose quick wit and crazy antics knew no bounds. But to his nearest and dearest, the comedy legend and cherished leading man was a guiding light. “Today I’m reflecting on the immense love you shared with all of us – your family, your friends and everyone you met,” wrote Zak Williams, 41, to mark the 10th anniversary of his father’s untimely passing. Hinting at Robin’s frail state when he died a decade ago at age 63, the mental health advocate added, “You continue to inspire me every single day to do whatever I can to help create a more connected and loving world for our family.” TEARS OF A CLOWN Robin was battling anxiety, depression and Lewy body dementia…

‘I’m always focused on getting better’– SUMMER Travelling home to Toronto from the Paris Olympics, swimmer Summer McIntosh was questioned by airport security. The issue? The suspicious “round metal things” in her carry-on luggage. But her explanation was simple: as a four-time medal winner, she had stowed her three golds and one silver in her bag for safekeeping. Expectations had been high as she headed into the Paris Games – her second trip to the Olympics. In 2020, Summer swam in Tokyo at just 14 years of age and displayed her potential, competing against the best in the world. But breaking records in France came as a welcome surprise, as the teen – who turns 18 on Aug. 18 – became the first Team Canada Olympic athlete to wear a…

Mighty Minis While colourful and vibrant fashion moments capture our attention, the best style statements are often the simplest. Enter the minidress! Effortlessly transitioning from casual to cocktail, minidresses offer a chic and straightforward solution to the age-old question “What to wear?” Choose the look that’s right for you – timeless A-line silhouettes and body-hugging designs remain the go-to shapes. Cut It Out When runways (think Helmut Lang and Victoria Beckham) and red carpets (remember Demi Moore in that chocolate-hued Versace number at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party?) are awash with dresses flaunting quirky cut-outs, it’s clear that the style detail is having a moment. And while it’s easy to spot sexy young celebrities such as Kylie Jenner and Bella Hadid rocking this trend, the peekaboo effect can be surprisingly…

It would be easy to assume Rob Lowe’s enduring status in Hollywood stems from a commitment to his craft. But if you ask the fit and handsome actor, it all stems from choosing the right partner. “My wife is my secret to longevity in this business and in life,” says Rob of his long-time love, Sheryl Berkoff, 63, with whom he shares sons Matthew, 31, and John Owen, 29. “We have been married for 34 years now and she’s still my rock. She’s saved me more times than I can mention. The rest has been trying to challenge myself and to operate outside of my comfort zone – and hope that people don’t get tired of seeing me!” Just like his family, Rob’s fans can’t get enough of him. The…

Hip, hip, hooray! As the Paris Olympics came to a close, the Prince and Princess of Wales happily interrupted their summer vacation to praise the British team for a job well done. “From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB,” said a beaming Kate, 42, in the pre-recorded message, seemingly filmed at their Anmer Hall estate in Norfolk, where they’re holidaying with their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and six-year-old Prince Louis. Clearly in vacation mode, Prince William, 42, was informally dressed in a Team GB shirt and sported an unexpected beard. The sports-loving future King shared his own message for the British athletes, who earned 65 medals and ranked seventh overall. “Well done on all you’ve achieved,” said William, standing next to his wife,…

For Nicole Kidman, attending the Olympic Games has provided not only a chance to see the world’s top athletes in action but also an opportunity to spend time with her family in the City of Love. The Australian actress, 57, spent three weeks soaking up the electric atmosphere in Paris, along with her husband, country music star Keith Urban, 56, and their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 13. The family took in the action from the stands, and Nicole is clearly a big fan. “I went to the London Olympics [in 2012] and the Winter Olympics in Vancouver [in 2010]. We were meant to go to Tokyo [during the pandemic], but obviously that couldn’t happen, so this feels like the first big one back in a long…

Reunited and it feels so good! Long-time friends Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart enjoyed some quality catch-up time at the Paris Olympics. Serving as a special correspondent for NBC, Snoop, 52, invited Martha, 83, to help him cheer on Team USA during the dressage event (left and right, the duo matching in head-to-toe equestrian attire). But while the rap star was certainly excited to spend time with his pal, it seems her presence was requested for a very specific reason: to help him overcome a major fear! “Snoop called me [because] he’s a little fearful of horses,” Martha revealed to Today. “And he knows I love them.” Afterward, the lifestyle guru was happy to confirm that she’d completed her mission, telling NBC, “I gave him a stall in my stable…

Marriage and motherhood haven’t diminished the bond between Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. If anything, it’s stronger than ever – as demonstrated in never-before-seen snaps shared on Instagram by Eugenie to celebrate her beloved sister’s 36th birthday. One of the photos, taken on their trip to Saudi Arabia earlier this year, showed the fun-loving royal siblings holding hands as they bounced on a trampoline against a spectacular backdrop of desert scenery at sustainable luxury resort Our Habitas AIUIa. But the image that really excited fans was a first look at Beatrice with one of her two nephews – later identified as Ernest, who’s now 15 months old. Clearly relishing her role as an aunt, Beatrice is seen playing hide-and-seek among a flower bed of daffodils while dressed as the Easter…

Taylor Swift cancelled a trio of her Eras Tour shows in Vienna after three teenagers were arrested for allegedly plotting a terrorist attack. The pop superstar, 34, was due to perform in Austria on Aug. 8, 9 and 10. Concert organizer Barracuda Music posted on Instagram: “Due to confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety.” Two of the suspects in custody, aged 19 and 17, are said to have become “radicalized by the Internet,” with the elder of the two having “made an oath of allegiance to ISIS.” One 15-year-old was questioned and released, and an 18-year-old was later apprehended. At press time, Taylor – who has yet to address…
