Hot Topics: Kardashians in Cuba, Celeb Homes for Who, May 23, 2016

People provided some fun reporting on the filming of Keeping Up With the Kardashians in Cuba, and who doesn't want to gawk at hot property?

Backchat: David Koechner and Video Game Films for Who, May 16, 2016

/

I spoke to Anchorman star David Koechner, who is preparing for a July stand-up tour through Australia, and compared how actors look with their video-game alter egos.

Prince: Mourning a Pop Genius for Who, May 9, 2016

/

I had the honour of writing Who's tribute and news story about the one and only Prince. In the process, I got to work with Nicholas Fonseca to conceive the different aspects of Prince's life we would include and I got to feature reporting from my colleagues at People. I think the decision to split up the story into two parts helped and I have to thank editors Michael Crooks and Cassie Kang, art director Cleo Munns and photo editor Lainie Shean for their incredible work, too.

Coachella Weekend One for Who, May 2, 2016

Last year, celebrities hit the second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival with a vengeance. This year? All loaded to the first weekend. 

A Wiggles Wedding for Who, April 25, 2016

/

Yes, I wrote about Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna, again, in Hot Topics, as well as Selena Gomez's surprisingly thicker lips in this issue, but the best second-cover story this week was about the lovely wedding between Emma Watkins and Lachy Gillespie, two members of the children's entertainment group The Wiggles. You can read more about their fantastic day on Who.com here.

Backchat with Bette Midler and Mean Girls Dolls for Who, April 18, 2016

/

I really enjoyed putting this week's Backchat together. First, there's an interview with Dalvinder Gill-Minhas, one of the featured Indian Australians looking for love in the SBS documentary Indian Wedding Race, then a look at the new line of Mean Girls dolls and a review of celebrities using Snapchat's puppy-face filter. Nicholas Fonseca and I had a great time compiling Bette Midler's best Twitter zingers, and I got to write all of the Gossip to Go boxes. 

Most Beautiful People 2016 for Who, April 4, 2016

/

When I was at People, I reported on a lot of 'Beauties' but often my files were just written up by someone else. At Who, I'm the writer. You have to craft something interesting to say about the person but it can't be too much about product or fashion. Here are a couple of the people I did my best to describe. 

People had already gotten fun 'beauty confessions' from a bunch of celebrities but Who must stay mindful of the Australian audience. In the end, I was able to add models Elyse Taylor and Samantha Harris to our mix. If you would like to read more from Elyse, click here. 

In that same vein, I was happy to speak with Wentworth's Danielle Cormack and Love Child's Miranda Tapsell about their charitable work for the Beautiful Hearts act. In fact, they had so much good stuff to say, I included more of our chats in Who.com pieces. For more from Danielle, click here, and for more from Miranda, click here. The full act as it appeared in Who: 

Oscars 2016 for Who, March 14, 2016

/

I always enjoy writing up details on the fabulous gowns worn on the Oscars red carpet and this year was no exception. Text-wise, however, I am highlighting my turn at summing up the red-carpet action, usually handled by Jennie Noonan.
