‘I was like, “You really watch it?” She was like, “Yes. Sasha and Malia put me on to it.” ’ —ISSA RAE, on finding out that Michelle Obama follows her HBO show Insecure, to Glamour ‘I go around at home like, I’m just raggedy. Clean, but slobby . . .

As flare-ups by a furious pro athlete go, Serena Williams’s was impassioned but G-rated. In the Sept. 8 championship match at the U.S. Open against Naomi Osaka, 20, umpire Carlos Ramos accused her of getting prohibited help from her coach in the stands. He then penalized her a point—followed by a full game—after she smashed her racket and called him a liar and a thief. Challenging Ramos, Williams, 36, invoked her little girl, 1-year-old Alexis Olympia: “I don’t cheat! I’d rather lose. I’m just letting you know . . . I have a daughter and I stand for what’s right for her.” What some called a meltdown now has other tennis greats—along with officials from the Women’s Tennis Association and the United States Tennis Association—criticizing seemingly different standards for…

It’s long been rumored that rappers Cardi B, 25, and Nicki Minaj, 35, have been feuding, but all doubts were laid to rest when they nearly came to blows inside Harper’s Bazaar’s Icon Awards during New York Fashion Week. Bystanders saw Cardi throwing one of her red high heels at Minaj, who hid behind her security. “The scene was crazy,” an onlooker says. Apparently it was the result of months of bad blood. “I’ve let a lot of s--- slide,” Cardi wrote on Instagram afterward, adding “all bets are off” after Minaj allegedly dissed her as a mom. (Cardi has a 2-month-old daughter, Kulture, with husband Offset). Cardi has since lain low, but Minaj took to Beats 1 Queen radio show on Sept. 10, calling the fight “mortifying and…

Since opening up about her breast cancer diagnosis three years ago, Shannen Doherty has undergone chemotherapy, a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Now the actress finally feels ready to prioritize her career again. “I don’t want cancer to be the only thing I’m focused on,” says Doherty, 47. “I’m an actor first and foremost. I love my craft.” For her first major role since her diagnosis, Doherty stars in Lifetime’s No One Would Tell remake as the mother of a girl in an abusive relationship who goes missing. “That movie is very relevant to what’s happening today,” she says. “Abuse on any level—whether it’s physical, sexual, emotional, verbal—is being called out.” Doherty, who’s now in remission, says her health challenges have made her a better actor. “Cancer helps me get…

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have been dating for nearly a year, and while the couple is über-private when it comes to their relationship, they just dropped a pretty big hint about their level of commitment. The Fifty Shades actress, 28, was spotted out on Sept. 1 with the infinity symbol tattoo just above her left elbow, while Martin, 41, debuted the same ink on his right inner arm just two days prior. Both tattoos include an “XX” marking inside the symbol. A source told People in June the couple were taking their relationship to the next level. “Chris lives in Malibu, and Dakota seems to love hanging out there. They occasionally go for dinner with friends, but mostly have friends…

What Do the Emmys Mean to You? For me it’s a huge thing. I remember when my dad [Don Segall] got nominated in the ’70s for producing The Money Maze— it was hosted by George Clooney’s father, Nick—and seeing my parents dressed up to go to the Emmys. My brother and I were floored. Anyone you’re especially excited to see? The Game of Thrones people. I lose my mind when I see them. What’s something you’d change about awards shows? I wish they would serve boxed water. They pass out plastic bottles with straws, and I just go, “Oh God!”…

Three weeks after checking back into rehab for alcohol addiction, Ben Affleck has been leaving the residential facility during the day to work out at his house before returning to the facility at night. “Everyone’s journey with addiction is different,” says a source. “He has a specialized program that includes meetings, working out, reading, therapy. It’s a good mix of mental and physical work.” Affleck, 46, has been seen playing basketball with a coach at home. Also spotted visiting: Playboy model Shauna Sexton, 22, who spent time with Affleck in the days before he entered rehab. “Ben and Shauna met about a month ago,” says the source. “They’re just getting to know each other.”…

It’s been nearly a year since Matt Lauer was fired from NBC over alleged sexual misconduct, but the father of three is still quietly working out the terms of his split from estranged wife Annette Roque. “The divorce isn’t final, but they’re still proceeding with it, and it should be finalized before too long,” says a source. “They’re still working out the division of the assets, though nothing is final. There’s no $20 million figure that’s been worked out yet.” In the meantime Lauer, 60, is still living at the Hamptons compound he shares with Roque, 51, and their children: sons Jack, 17, and Thijs, 11, and daughter Romy, 14. “Matt doesn’t really socialize much with his friends anymore,” says the source. “He’s been staying close to home and…

Mac Miller, a charismatic hip-hop artist known for his struggles with sobriety, prophetically rapped in 2015: “To everyone who sell me drugs / Don’t mix it with that bull---- / I’m hoping not to join the 27 club.” Sadly he died at age 26 on Sept. 7 of an apparent drug overdose at his Studio City, Calif., home. “He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans,” Miller’s family said in a statement hours after his death. “Thank you for your prayers.” Born Malcolm James McCormick to a Jewish photographer and an architect, Miller grew up in Pittsburgh, where he had a Bar Mitzvah and called himself “the coolest Jewish rapper.” Known for his sweet disposition and music that was both light and dark,…

Her Dad After repeatedly saying he was done giving interviews, Thomas Markle, 74—who lives in seclusion in Rosarito, Mexico—continued to speak about his daughter and her royal in-laws throughout the summer, saying that Meghan, whom he claims he hasn’t spoken to since her May 19 wedding, was no longer taking his calls. Her Pre-Royal Friends Meghan found it hard to stay in touch with some L.A.-based friends after moving to London and is learning who she can trust. But she made sure to keep good friend Jessica Mulroney close, even flying to Toronto for a recent visit. The Canadian stylist’s three children also played an important role in Meghan and Harry’s wedding. The Spotlight “Every single day is in the public eye,” says Ken Wharfe, Princess Diana’s former bodyguard.…

Earlier this year, promoting a new film aptly titled The Last Movie Star, 82-year-old Burt Reynolds seemed hobbled by pain and time—the toll of quintuple bypass surgery, back surgery, knee replacement, a past addiction to painkillers that once required rehab and, overall, the long-term wear and tear of playing football as a young man and then doing his own stunt work as a movie star. But he was still Burt Reynolds, one of the biggest sex symbols of the past half century: He hadn’t lost the twinkle in his eyes, the sly humor, the air of a scoundrel, who, below the surface, was a gentleman—a gallant. “I think you have to be a little bit of a rascal because people would be disappointed if I didn’t do that,” he…

Judy Greer has worked with plenty of A-listers, but right now the diva she really wants to dish about is Mary Richards. No, not the lead character in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, but the tiny terrier Greer adopted two years ago. “It hurts me how much I love her,” she says. “I wanted to be that actress who travels everywhere with her little dog, but it turns out Mary is very stressed, and I’m not sure I could leave her in a hotel room alone.” Mary might not be your typical lapdog, but Greer isn’t a typical actress. The Detroit native, 43, has made a name for herself as the consummate costar, playing the sensible, funny, occasionally snarky sidekick to the likes of Jennifer Lopez (The Wedding Planner),…

‘It’s impossible to condemn white nationalism without condemning my family’ —DEREK BLACK [Visiting his parents last year, Derek drove with his dad, Don, to a restaurant one day.] It reminded Don of all the lunches he’d shared with Derek over the years, and Don couldn’t help himself. “I catch myself thinking sometimes that you’re still one of us,” he said. Derek ignored him. “You say things now that are so over the top,” Don said. “Like race doesn’t exist, or we need more immigration.” Derek raised his eyebrows. “More immigration, more diversity—I think those are good things,” he said. “That’s the opposite of what you always believed.” “I was wrong.” Derek stopped to correct himself. “We were wrong.” During the coming months, Don and Derek would watch as white…

Cate Blanchett’s Beauty Mantra ‘WORK WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT,’ SAYS THE ACTRESS, 49. ‘IT’S NOT ABOUT TRYING TO LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ELSE. IT’S ABOUT WANTING TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE’ 1 EXFOLIATE DAILY That is the top tip from the ageless Cate Blanchett’s facialist Georgia Louise, who says, “It’s important to regularly remove dead skin cells.” Instead of using a potentially abrasive granular scrub, wipe away flakes twice a day with a skin-sloughing toner. Look for solutions containing both alpha hydroxy acid, known to “loosen up dead cells” so they shed easily, and beta hydroxy acid, which “penetrates deeper to clean pores,” Louise says. 2-3 WASH YOUR FACE TWICE AT NIGHT To ensure you remove every impurity, try this two-step process, says esthetician Barbara Close. FIRST, USE…

Last Time I Danced I just did. We took a boat out for the day, celebrating one of my team members’ birthdays. I usually have to be talked into it, but internally I’m already there. It depends on how much I’ve drunk. Last Game I Played It was spades, the card game. My partner was really good, and we ended up winning. I’m the type that wants to beat my grandmother, that’s how competitive I am. Last Injury I got a mild concussion from playing basketball earlier this year.

Weeks away from giving birth to her second child and first daughter (son Leo is 2), Jillian Harris says delivery can’t come soon enough. “This has been a much rougher pregnancy,” the former Bachelorette, 38, who is now a noted interior designer, admits. “I was so physically ill in the first trimester, and now I’m just exhausted!” Still, the blogger and her fiancé, Justin Pasutto, are giddy about adding a little girl to their “tribe.” Says Harris: “I’m excited for Leo to have a companion.” To help combat anxiety and sleeplessness during her pregnancy, Harris has been relying on essential oils and skin care from Saje Natural Wellness, and has now partnered with the brand on her own diffuser. “It’s important to take better care of myself,” she says,…

I was born and raised in Memphis and have visited and supported St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital [there] for close to a decade. The nurses are amazing, and I’m always shocked at how optimistic the patients are. My stepsister was treated at St. Jude, before I knew her, but hearing the stories from her and my stepdad on how St. Jude changed their lives and saved hers was super-powerful. And I recently filmed a show [Life Sentence] about a girl who is very sick with cancer and have learned just how much cancer impacts everyone involved—family, friends. I will also be participating in the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer on Sept. 22 in L.A. As an ambassador for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, I encourage people…

MUSIC | Carrie Underwood, Cry Pretty Songs for These Hard Times—and for Kick-back-and-party Times Too COUNTRY American Idol’s most successful alum is back with her sixth album, and it’s another standout set of polished country-pop. Underwood had more of a hand in this LP than in any of her previous efforts—it’s her first turn as a coproducer—and her voice shines in ways that go beyond the strictly vocal: On “Love Wins,” Underwood denounces the “politics and prejudice” that divide the country—“How the hell’d it ever come to this,” she asks—and she even explores the longterm effects of gun violence on “The Bullet.” Elsewhere, her powerhouse pipes deliver both bluesy ballads (the simmering “Drinking Alone”) and stadium-size anthems (“Backsliding”). But Underwood still ensures that there’s a good time to be…

Sarah Weinman The Real Lolita NONFICTION A journalist sets out to solve a literary mystery: Was Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita inspired by the true story of 11-year-old Sally Horner’s 1948 abduction by a child rapist? The evidence stacks up in Weinman’s gripping tale of a long-forgotten victim whose ordeal also echoes the more recent cases of Elizabeth Smart and Jaycee Dugard. Soraya Chemaly Rage Becomes Her NONFICTION In this timely indictment of the way society represses women’s anger (hello, Serena Williams), Chemaly uses stories and data—in one study, just 6.2 percent of North Americans found anger expressed by women “appropriate” —to make her case for constructive female rage. Brava. Daniel Mason The Winter Soldier NOVEL As World War I breaks out, a young Austrian medical student enlists,…

Harry and Meghan take off on Oct. 16 for a 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga. Timed to this year’s Invictus Games, Harry’s Paralympicstyle competition for wounded service members, the tour will also “focus on youth leadership and environmental and conservation efforts,” the couple’s office at Kensington Palace announced in a press briefing on Sept. 10. Harry and Meghan will travel with an entourage of around a dozen. For her glam squad Meghan will likely have a hairdresser and an assistant on hand, but she’ll be doing her own makeup. “She loves makeup, and she’s good at it!” says her wedding makeup artist Daniel Martin. “They have so many engagements, so you have to stick with what you know and feel comfortable and confident.”…

Singing “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” onstage in Porto Venere on Sept. 6, Katharine McPhee was focused on the man at the piano. Fiancé David Foster accompanied her duet with Andrea Bocelli as they serenaded stars in town for Celebrity Fight Night Italy, a charity event that practically doubled as an engagement party for the pair. “A few years ago I told you she was the one,” Bocelli told Foster, to which he responded, “You were right.” The romantic outing comes two months after the hitmaking musician, 68, and Smash star, 34, confirmed his proposal. While their 34-year age difference has been a hot topic (and fuel for lighthearted jokes between McPhee and his daughters Sara, 37, and Erin, 36), they’re much more focused on all…
