There are more and more music award shows to cover each year and this is one of them.

Hot Topics for Who, April 11, 2016

It's a Heart Monitor spread in this week's Who, leading off with Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. A couple spreads later and we see Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez. 

Survivor Winner Earl Cole Takes On March Madness, March 31, 2016

Now for some U.S. press, this time for The Post Game. I talk to Survivor: Fiji winner Earl Cole on his new venture to help NCAA athletes get a morale boost and a financial one during March Madness. 

One to Watch: Odessa Young for Who, April 4, 2016

I've been fortunate to do first interviews with many now-famous people for both People and Who. One of these is young Australian actress Odessa Young. It will be great to see her career become more high profile.

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:

Surprise! Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna continue to stay in the celeb spotlight. I also adapt a series of People Stylewatch posts on Britney Spears's tour costumes into an item.

Backchat with Geri Hakewill, Kate Ritchie for Who, March 14, 2016

My education in homegrown talent continues as I speak with actress Geraldine Hakewill about her role in the Seven series Wanted and actress/radio personality Kate Ritchie about her recent trip to Las Vegas for Nova FM.

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. 

Mahtob Mahmoody: 'My Escape From Hell,' for Who, March 7, 2016

In 1991, Sally Field starred in the film Not Without My Daughter: The Story of Betty Mahmoody, which was based on the real-life tale of a woman's escape from Iran with her daughter in the '80s. Twenty-five years later, I speak with that daughter, Mahtob Mahmoody. I found her clear-eyed, serene and a real survivor. Here is the story, teased on Who.com here.

Another week, another Kardashian story. Two spreads, tho!

Courtney Barnett for Who, Feb. 22, 2016

I forgot to post this before, but I was able to get Melbourne indie rock artist Courtney Barnett into WHO prior to her going to the Grammys. She was nominated as Best New Artist. It was great to include new talent in the issue and her answers helped illuminate her bio to a mass audience.

Grammy Awards 2016 for Who, Feb. 29, 2016

During a difficult week for WHO, the staff worked hard to produce this issue, including our Grammys story, completed in half a day. So glad to be their colleague. 

Super Bowl 50 for Who, Feb. 22, 2016

It seems like a patriotic duty to cover the Super Bowl while living abroad, albeit with a focus on the halftime show, so here is my salute to the home country. USA! USA!

SAG Awards for Who, Feb. 15, 2016

Great gowns, sure, but a great statement about diversity in entertainment — that summed up the Screen Actors Guild Awards in L.A. Glad to write about all of it for Who.

Oscars 2016: The Academy Makes Changes, for Who, Feb. 8, 2016

While the Screen Actors Guild Awards acknowledged diversity in Hollywood with hardware on Jan. 30, 2016, many are still looking for host Chris Rock to make a stand at the Oscars.

Making a Murderer: New Theories for Who, Feb. 8, 2016

Was there a serial killer involved? Other relatives of Steven Avery or Brendan Dassey? I dip my toe into the Netflix phenomenon Making a Murderer for this week's WHO.

Critics' Choice for Who, Feb. 1, 2016

Following a spread featuring an interview with Jennifer Aniston, this coverage of the Critics' Choice Awards leads with Aniston and Justin Theroux. I loved being able to write from Reagan Alexander's file.

Hot Topics: Oscar diversity for Who, Feb. 1, 2016

Reactions to this year's Oscar nominations are evolving and ever-changing, so capturing the zeitgeist, even for a moment, isn't the easiest task. Here is how I summed it up for Who this week.

Finding Your Roots: Maya Rudolph clip for People.com, Jan. 19, 2016

I enjoyed speaking with historian and scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. to tease the latest episode of Finding Your Roots, enjoying its third season on PBS stations. I hope to include more of the interview in this post at a later date.

Farewell to an Icon: David Bowie, Who Jan. 25, 2016

I was proud to work with the WHO team to put together this tribute to David Bowie. 48 hours was not a lot of time to process how influential Bowie was to music, film, fashion and the arts, and how much he meant to me personally, but I found research and writing to be a tremendous salve.
