For everyone’—JAY-Z, on producing the western film The Harder They Fall, to Entertainment Tonight ‘I’m completely unaware of actually what’s going on in pop culture, and that makes me really happy’—SELENA GOMEZ, on running her social media through her assistant, to Beauty Inc ‘I’ve learnt to manage it—and it’s not by reaching for a bowl of ice cream’—REBEL WILSON, on emotional eating, to Stellar magazine ‘I have a complete disconnect with my age.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are ready for their next chapter: marriage! After nearly a year of dating, the reality star and the Blink-182 drummer got engaged on Oct. 17 at the beachfront Rosewood Miramar resort in Montecito, Calif. At sunset Barker led Kardashian down to a heart-shaped red rose arrangement on the beach, where he popped the question with an oval-shaped diamond ring he designed with celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. “Travis was nervous, but Kourtney didn’t hesitate for a second before she said yes,” says a family source. Adds an onlooker: “Kourtney did not stop smiling.” While the source says the proposal was a “complete surprise” for Kardashian, 42, Barker, 45, had clued her family in on his plans. “Everyone was great at keeping it secret,” says the…

Risk may have been Captain Kirk’s business on Star Trek, but for William Shatner, the beloved star who took the helm of the USS Enterprise, art imitated life—much to his family’s unease, Shatner, 90, traveled to space on Oct. 13 aboard Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin New Shepard capsule, making him the oldest person to ever cross the internationally recognized border of space. The actor says when he ran the possibility of taking the trip by his ex-wife and two of his three daughters, they told him not to go. “I said, ‘I gotta go. Everything’s fine; don’t worry about it. It’s very, very safe,’” he recalls. “And it is! [I said] ‘Don’t worry. Or if you worry, know that everything is going to be fine. I am going; save…

Three years ago, Michael J. Fox was in a dark place. Fresh off a painful spinal surgery, the beloved actor, who has been living with Parkinson’s disease since 1992, had a bad fall, breaking his arm. “I felt so sorry for myself,” recalls Fox, 60. “But ultimately, I connected to gratitude.” Drawing strength from his family and his activism, Fox—who will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Michael J. Fox Foundation with a star-studded bash on Oct. 23—is focused on the future. “Every day is different,” he says, “but I’m in a really good groove right now.” Your foundation has raised more than $1 billion to date for Parkinson’s research. What’s next? We are loading up all the cannons and pointing them at the target. The disease is a problem…

By the time Colin Powell was in Morocco prepping to meet with King Mohammed VI in 2004, the South Bronx native, decorated Vietnam War vet and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom—twice—had notched several trailblazing firsts: first Black national security adviser (to President Reagan), chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (to President George H.W. Bush) and Secretary of State (for President George W. Bush). So when then-U.S. Ambassador to Morocco Tom Riley knocked at the boss’s hotel room that 2004 morning, he says, he expected “full-blown VIP treatment, a retinue of staff.” But no. “Secretary Powell had his own 747, but he was ironing his own shirt,” Riley tells People as remembrances of the unassuming Powell poured forth after his family—wife Alma, 83, and three children—announced on…

In his 18 years as an assistant U.S. attorney in Seattle, Thomas Wales never lost a case. It made him something of a legend by 2001—a meticulous, hard-charging prosecutor who neighbors thought looked a lot like Sam Waterston’s district attorney character Jack McCoy on Law & Order. But Wales had a softer side too. He was a doting father to kids Tom and Amy, the kind of dad who never missed softball or soccer games, who stopped by Dairy Queen on the ride home for a treat and read bedtime stories that he’d tweaked so that the female characters were the protagonists as often as the males. “He was a fantastic girl dad,” says Amy. “He made our childhood magic. He would absolutely protect us, hold us close.” So it…

In the summer of 2019 Selma Blair’s doctor told her to prepare herself for the worst ahead of possibly life-altering but risky stem cell treatment. The actress had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, and the chronic degenerative neurological disease had wreaked havoc on her body, at times leaving her struggling to walk and even talk. The intense two-month procedure was her best option for jump-starting her immune system, but it didn’t come with any guarantees. “I was told to make plans for dying,” she says in a scene from the unfiltered and unflinching new documentary Introducing, Selma Blair. In the film the actress, best known for her supporting roles in movies like Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde, offers an intimate and often difficult-to-watch look at what she’s endured…

1 FAMILY AFFAIRS Sisters Finally Share the Screen Ashley Williams and Kimberly Williams-Paisley’s first onscreen pairing has been almost a lifetime in the making. “We’ve been wanting to work together since Ashley was born,” jokes Kimberly, 50 (right). The siblings serve as executive producers and play sisters in a two-movie event on the Hallmark Channel, Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday and Sister Swap: Christmas in the City. “Our characters end up switching places,” explains Ashley, 42. “I take her job, and she goes back to the hometown where I normally live, and we get to experience each other’s worlds.” Adds Kimberly: “We rely on each other so much, and that’s what these characters do as well.” The family connection includes Ashley’s husband, Neal Dodson, an executive producer on both films,…

One and done. After barely a year of marriage, Sean Penn’s third wife, Australian actress Leila George, filed for divorce in L.A. on Oct. 15. The Oscar winner, 61, and the Animal Kingdom star, 29, were first linked in 2016 before they tied the knot in July 2020 during an intimate, at-home ceremony, attended by her brother and Penn’s kids Dylan, 30, and Hopper, 28, whom he shares with ex-wife Robin Wright. (Penn was also previously married to Madonna.) Penn and George have split before. Last year a source said they dated on and off, with their previous breakup preceding a reunion in early 2020. “Sean won her back,” the source said at the time. “He realized he had made a mistake, and when he felt he might lose…

‘WHEN EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN IN THE PANDEMIC, I TOOK THE TIME TO WORK ON MYSELF’—PETER FACINELLI Some people baked bread during the pandemic—Peter Facinelli became a certified hypnotherapist. “I’ve always been fascinated by what the mind can do,” says the Twilight and Nurse Jackie alum, 47. “It was six months of intensive studies, but I had the time!” Now, the dad of three is back to being busy: He’s planning a wedding with actress Lily Anne Harrison, and his new movie 13 Minutes is out Oct. 29. Why hypnotherapy? Hypnosis can shift your mindset and can help with anxiety and depression. It’s really powerful. Whenever I’m stressed, I find a place to chill. You lost 30 lbs. recently. How did you do it? I’m more aware of what I eat. Sugar…

Halloween Is a Family Affair for These Siblings POINT PLEASANT, N.J. With nearly two decades separating 5-year-old Avery Schmidt from the youngest of her three big brothers, the four siblings aren’t likely to trick-or-treat together. So four years ago their mom, Patti, a photographer, dreamed up a new Halloween tradition: Each fall she asks her three grown sons, Larry, Patrick and Gavin (now 28, 26 and 22), to join in a costume photo shoot with their baby sister. Beginning with The Wizard of Oz in 2017 (creative camera angles helped create the “flying Dorothy” shot below)—themes have included Star Wars and Game of Thrones—this year’s is still under wraps. “They laugh a lot during the shoots,” says Patti, 50, whose TikTok video (@pattiaveryschmidt) of the moments has more than 21…

It’s not an average day when an Oscar-winning actress is talking candidly about waning libidos and sexual experimentation, but then again Gwyneth Paltrow is not your average celebrity. Since launching Goop in 2008, Paltrow has guided the company as it delves into nearly every facet of personal optimization, from diet to style to relationships and mental health. “Life is short,” says Paltrow, 49. “I’ve learned so much from venturing out.” Known for touting unconventional products like the notorious “vagina scented” candle, her company has a new venture, a series with Netflix called Sex, Love & Goop, featuring couples overcoming intimacy struggles and past sexual trauma—while the world watches. Paltrow, though not a participant in the onscreen exercises, barely blushes as she leads the discussions. “I want to push boundaries,” she…

On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 2016, Ady Barkan and his wife, Rachael King, were out for brunch with one of his closest friends, a medical resident in neurology, when Ady mentioned he thought he’d developed carpal tunnel syndrome from holding his 4-month-old son Carl. Once the plates were cleared, his friend performed simple strength and reflex tests on Ady’s left hand. Unsatisfied, she directed Ady, after they’d paid their check, to pace the sidewalk while she observed. Next, she ordered him into the back of her car for a test of foot and knee reflexes. “She wasn’t happy with what she found,” Ady once wrote of the memory. “She said, ‘You should see a neurologist.’” That day and those words fatefully marked the beginning of a new reality for…

Things haven’t slowed down since the Olympics … I have the World Athletics Championships coming up in 2022, so I’m training daily. After dropping my daughter off at school in the morning, I’ll head to the track and do conditioning for three hours. Then I’ll have some lunch and go to the gym for strength work for another two hours. I’m always checking to make sure I’m hydrating enough! I had my own doubts about coming back after pregnancy … I suffered from severe preeclampsia, and after childbirth I struggled with not feeling like myself. What really helped was surrounding myself with positivity and people who believed in me. That and looking at the data that I was on pace. To have it come together at the games was…

Last Me-time I try to do yoga every day when I’m home—the push-ups kind. It really affects my mind, body and spirit. I’ve got a couple of poses where people would think, “Oh my God, I can’t believe she’s doing that.” Last Time I Missed Someone I’m in Wales and miss all three of my children on this trip, but for some reason I’ve been yearning for my son [Justin]. I’m in the country with a lot of animals and a beautiful golf course. He would have so much fun seeing this. Last Time I Was Starstruck I got to be interviewed by [novelist] Anne Lamott. I’ve been such a huge fan for so long, and it’s slightly humiliating, but I cried through it. It was just the sound…

When the pandemic hit last year, HGTV star Jonathan Scott was happy to hunker down with actress girlfriend Zooey Deschanel because he’s “madly in love” with her, he told People at the Environmental Media Association Awards in L.A. on Oct. 16, while also raving about her culinary and musical skills. The pair, who began dating in 2019, have also grown close to each other’s families, including her kids Charlie, 4, and Elsie, 6 (whom she shares with ex Jacob Pechenik), and her parents. “He just goes over and fixes stuff for them,” Deschanel, 41, says of her amateur-handyman beau, 43, whom she describes as the “kindest person.” Looks like Scott will be on-call for the foreseeable future. “I think I’ll hold on to this one!” he says.…

The most important thing we can do is respect and honor young women’s voices. Anything I can do to help with that is worthwhile. Step Up takes girls and young women through an extracurricular program focused on college and beyond. The program propels the next generation to fulfill their potential by empowering them to become confident and career-focused. The saying goes, if you can’t see it, you can’t be it. Through mentorship opportunities with professional women, Step Up gives these girls introductions to businesses they may not have even heard of and internships in places they didn’t even know existed. I’ve worked with them for more than a decade, and along with my onscreen daughters on Modern Family, these girls are like my adoptive daughters. They really are the…

Last year Jamie Lee Curtis’s daughter Ruby sat down in the family’s Los Angeles backyard with her mother and her father, comedy director Christopher Guest. Ruby had something to say. She was going to come out as trans. But she wasn’t able to. “It was scary—just the sheer fact of telling them something about me they didn’t know,” Ruby says with a small laugh. Instead, “I texted my mom later.” Says Jamie Lee: “I called her immediately. Needless to say there were some tears involved.” But today Ruby, 25—who works as a video editor for a gaming personality on YouTube—is more at ease as she, alongside her mom, talks about her journey publicly for the first time. And Jamie Lee, 62—still with a few tears—remains ready to listen. Ruby, for…
