‘I can now keep gaining this quarantine weight in peace without the pressure of a title to maintain’—JOHN LEGEND, on relinquishing his Sexiest Man Alive title, to Michael B. Jordan, on Twitter ‘I did this job partly to get away from my young children, as they are exhausting at my age’—HUGH GRANT, joking about why he took his role in HBO’s The Undoing, on The Graham Norton Show ‘I wish all of it! Maybe two or three pieces, not enough’—LILY COLLINS, on how much of her Emily in Paris wardrobe she got to keep, on People (the TV Show!) ‘I’m not actively looking for it. I can’t go on websites and dating apps and all that kind of stuff’—KATHIE LEE GIFFORD, on finding love again, on Peacock’s Holiday Steals…

As the holidays approach, Prince William and Princess Kate and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ending the year as they started it: an ocean apart. For Meghan and Harry, this year will mark their first Thanksgiving and Christmas in their new home in Montecito, Calif., where they will celebrate with their 19-month-old son, Archie, and Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland. More than 5,000 miles away, William and Kate may limit Christmas celebrations to their three children, Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2, amid ongoing pandemic restrictions in the U.K. Isolated in the middle, like so many grandparents around the world: Queen Elizabeth, 94, and husband Prince Philip, 99, who just celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary on Nov. 20 and will mark the holiday without the…

Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, are now both in jail for their role in last year’s college admissions scandal, but a Loughlin source says it’s the couple’s daughters—YouTube star Olivia Jade, 21, and Isabella Rose, 22—who may be struggling the most. “It’s just a nightmare for them,” says the source. “They were very upset when they said goodbye to Lori. But to have both of their parents now in prison at the same time is very upsetting.” Full House star Loughlin, 56, reported to FCI-Dublin in Northern California on Oct. 30 to serve a two-month sentence after pleading guilty back in May to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Then, on Nov. 19, Giannulli, 57, was booked into federal prison in Lompoc, near Santa…

It’s been 16 years since Lacey Chabert played gossipy Gretchen Wieners in the hit teen comedy Mean Girls, but fans still approach her to say, “That’s so fetch,” her most famous line from the movie. “I had no idea we’d be talking about it the way we are now all these years later,” says Chabert, 38. “Everyone in the film is so talented. The hardest part was not laughing in the middle of a scene.” Chabert, who got her start in acting on All My Children and costarred on the ’90s series Party of Five as a teen, has a new fan at home: Her daughter Julia, 4, with husband David Nehdar, recently saw the “Jingle Bell Rock” scene of the movie when it played on TV. “I came home…

Weddings • Comedian and writer Paula Pell, 57, married fellow comedian Janine Brito, 37, in a small outdoor ceremony after the two got engaged in August 2018. “It was a sparkling day full of hastily purchased clothes from Target and joy tears,” Pell wrote on Instagram. Health • Former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, 28, announced she had undergone surgery for ongoing complications due to endometriosis, a painful condition that causes uterine lining to grow outside the uterus. • Dolly Parton, 74, confirmed that her $1 million donation in April helped partially fund pharmaceutical company Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine research. The donation was made to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to create the Dolly Parton COVID-19 Research Fund and earmarked for ongoing research efforts. “I’m just happy that anything I do can…

You’ve already shot the show about Americans coming together at mealtime. How’d it all go? We found some incredible families who have not only unique traditions but traditions that everybody could relate to. What’s it like working with Chip and Joanna? They’re hands-on, but they trusted us to do our thing. Any holiday traditions? I’m the person who normally would want to have 100 people at my house. The holidays are going to be different this year, but even if it’s just me and my son [Noah, 15], I’m going to roast a small turkey over an open fire.…

It was late in the afternoon on Dec. 3, 2018, when a feverish Alex Smith lay in his bed at Virginia’s Inova Fairfax Hospital, desperately trying to grasp what was happening to him. Fifteen days earlier, the then 34-year-old quarterback for the Washington Football Team (then known as the Washington Redskins) had dropped back for a pass during a game against the Houston Texans when he was sacked by two defensive players, shattering two bones in the lower part of his right leg and leaving them partially protruding from the skin. Smith was rushed into surgery, where doctors pieced his tibia and fibula back together with 29 screws and two metal plates. What they didn’t know at the time was that bacteria from the field had gotten into the wound,…

Ruby Bridges learned about the meme the way you might expect a 66-year-old would: Her son showed it to her. “He said, ‘Mom, have you seen this?’” she says. “I thought, ‘That is so cool.’” The image going viral was an iteration of the famous Norman Rockwell painting of 6-year-old Bridges as she integrated William Franz Elementary School in New Orleans in 1960; the 2020 version photoshopped Bridges’s shadow from the painting leading a fellow groundbreaker walking tall: Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. “It made me feel a sense of pride to be a part of that journey,” says Bridges, “but I also felt a responsibility to all of those before me, because I’m standing on the shoulders and in the shadows of people who made huge sacrifices for all of…

When Ethan Russell took photos of his famous subjects, he never asked them to pose. “People will reveal themselves in a funny way, even if you’re not telling them what to do,” says Russell, 75. “What I really care about is feeling the person in the picture.” The result was a rarely seen intimacy with the biggest rock stars of a generation, now captured in a new coffee-table book, Ethan Russell Photographs (available at ethanrussell.com). It all began in 1968, when Russell moved from San Francisco to London at 22 to check out the music scene. “I wasn’t a professional anything,” he says. “I was a kid.” One day his friend writer Jonathan Cott asked him to take photos for his next interview. “I asked, ‘Who’s it with?’ He said,…

Jeannie Mai is getting back to work after emergency surgery forced her to drop out of Dancing with the Stars. On Nov. 1 The Real cohost was hospitalized when doctors discovered a rare, potentially life-threatening abscess in her throat that made breathing difficult. “My sore throat turned out to be a strep throat that quickly turned into a parapharyngeal abscess,” says Mai, 41, who was diagnosed with epiglottitis. “I was breathing like Darth Vader.” The talk show host underwent surgery to successfully remove the abscess, which was blocking her airway. She says she’s grateful for her fiancé, rapper Jeezy, 43, who convinced her to go to the ER and supported her throughout her recovery. “He was by my side the entire time,” Mai says, “and just really helped me through it…

Once homeless herself, Tiffany Haddish has gotten behind Vitafusion Gummy Vitamins and WhyHunger’s  Hungerthon, a Thanksgiving effort to ease hunger. She’s also taking care of herself, revealing the keys to her dramatic weight loss and relationship success during the pandemic. What inspired you to get involved with this year’s Hungerthon? The main thing is, I know what it’s like to be hungry. And it’s very hard to be joyful when you’re hungry. So when I heard about it, I was like, “I’m going to be a part of it.” I really wanted to use my platform to help people, because there are a lot of people in our country that are starving. You struggled with homelessness before your comedy career took off. How did you get through it? I believed…

The actress, 48, is teaming up with AmazonSmile to give to organizations like the Women’s Center for Advancement, an Omaha charity that supports people experiencing domestic violence. Why was it important for you to choose female-focused charities? Both my husband [retired NBA star Dwyane Wade] and I got to where we are with the kindness of strangers. As a rape survivor myself, I know what these women are going through and what they need. We want to provide that support. What do you have planned for the holidays this year? Our celebrations will be much more intimate than we’re used to, but whether it’s 100 people or five, as long as we’re together and there’s a glazed ham we are very content. Have you passed on any traditions to your…

More than 4.2 million people in California are facing hunger right now, and that number is rising. Obviously it’s been hugely impacted by COVID-19. So the California Milk Processor Board and California Milk Advisory Board have partnered with Feeding America to help provide 1 million meals and 1 million servings of milk to feeding programs throughout California. The nonprofit group doesn’t discriminate by age. It helps kids and grown-ups and is about getting every hungry person possible a meal to eat. I’ve spent time volunteering with them and was blown away by the generosity of spirit among the volunteers. The fact that these people are out there risking their lives every day to make sure those in need are fed, it’s really moving. There was something about the work…

There’s no “Hail to the Chief” and no vanguard of Secret Service agents when Barack Obama, paper cup of tea in hand, strolls (his “Hawaiian walk,” Michelle calls it) into the sleekly modern lobby of his office suite in Washington, D.C. “I’m naturally casual,” he says with a grin. Once too busy, too restless to sit still for long with reporters and photographers, the 44th President of the United States settles in for a chat with People about his new memoir, A Promised Land (the 768-page volume 1 only; volume 2 is already underway), and quarantine life at home with Michelle and their daughters. “This is easier than sitting in the Situation Room for two hours,” he says as the interview, his most unguarded ever, stretches past one hour. Malia,…

More than three decades after her first walk through the fictitious halls of Bayside High, Elizabeth Berkley’s return to Saved by the Bell was, understandably, an adjustment. “It was surreal,” says the actress, 48. On the hit teen series, which ran from 1989 to 1992, she played overachieving class president Jessie Spano, and “to be on those sets with all the same faces that I know and love was really special,” she says. “It feels like coming home.” On the much-anticipated reboot, streaming Nov. 25 on Peacock, Berkley and her former costars Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen and Lark Voorhies are indeed back in Bayside—only with a modern twist. “It’s not like we’re going back and being teens again,” says Berkley, who is also a producer on the show…

I’m trying to stay as Zen as possible… When it first became clear the pandemic was going to get worse before it got better, and the panic set in, I turned to music, as I always have. I tried to listen to as much as possible, I tried to write as much as possible. And it’s been fun for Schyler [Helford, his girlfriend of two years] and me to cook for each other. We consider ourselves very lucky that we’ve had each other during this. My heart was broken when my dog passed away in August… Sweeney was 16. I’m grateful quarantine coincided with a time when he needed me home. But now there is a void in my life. A huge part of my day was taking care of…

Last Game I Played My husband [equestrian Karl Cook] and I play Scrabble constantly. I will block you even if I only get seven points, which makes the game very annoying for my opponents. But I think it’s brilliant. Last Time I Was Injured I was shooting a scene for Flight Attendant where I had to pretend to kick an ice bucket, but I actually kicked it. When we finished, my socks were filled with blood. Last DIY Project I’m not usually a DIY person, but over quarantine we built a greenhouse for our rescue rabbits Leni and Simon. We call it Hippity Hop Lane. Last Time I Was Starstruck A while ago [pre-COVID] I was sitting next to Jennifer Aniston at a restaurant. She is my total idol.…

Five months after Naya Rivera, 33, drowned during a boat excursion with her son Josey at Lake Piru in Ventura County, Calif., her ex-husband Ryan Dorsey, 37, has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against local authorities on behalf of their 5-year-old son, claiming the lake lacked safety warnings and the rental boat “was not equipped with a safely accessible ladder, adequate rope, an anchor, a radio or any security mechanisms to prevent swimmers from being separated from their boats.” The suit also details Josey’s ordeal, stating, “Josey knew Naya was still in the water, and heard her cry, ‘Help! Help!’ in her struggle to get back to the boat.” County authorities have not yet responded.…

As the rest of the world slowed down this year, Martha Stewart remained busier than ever. “My friends are all a little envious. They call me every day to say, ‘You’re so lucky. You have so much to do,’” says the lifestyle mogul, 79. “I could easily say, ‘Well, I’d like to be lolling around, doing nothing.’ But I’ve been going 24/7, and that’s okay.” The New Jersey native’s strong work ethic is something she’s maintained since she started modeling in high school. A successful stockbroker after attending Barnard College, Stewart left the workforce to raise her daughter Alexis, now 55, with ex-husband Andrew Stewart (they divorced in 1990) at home in Westport, Conn. As Alexis approached her teen years, Stewart began her career as a caterer in 1976, opening…

It’s been 33 years since Jennifer Grey first flung herself into the arms of Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing—and the actress has faced her share of dramatic ups and downs since playing wide-eyed romantic Baby Houseman in the hit film. After rhinoplasty surgeries in the early ’90s changed her look, she says casting directors stopped calling. (“I went in the operating room a celebrity and came out anonymous,” she has said of the effect on her career.) But no one puts Baby in the corner for long: In 2010 she recaptured the hearts of millions by winning season 11 of Dancing with the Stars, not long after having a cancerous growth on her thyroid removed. Now she’s newly divorced from actor Clark Gregg after a 19-year marriage (they share daughter…
