‘They’re good friends, and I wanted to make sure they had a great time, so there was a lot of pressure’—IDRIS ELBA, on deejaying Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ‘I don’t deny my body anything, even at 1 a.m. when I have the nighttime munchies’—PRIYANKA CHOPRA JONAS, on now being comfortable in her own skin, to The Telegraph ‘People come up to me all the time, like, “Oh my gosh, it’s you!

Zayn Malik and his ex Gigi Hadid’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, are at odds after having a volatile argument earlier this fall at the Pennsylvania home Malik and Gigi shared at the time. Malik was charged with four counts of harassment in the Sept. 29 incident in which he allegedly “grabbed [Yolanda] and shoved her into a dresser,” according to court documents, which also revealed the former One Direction singer allegedly hurled a series of insults at Yolanda and told her to “stay away from” his and Gigi’s daughter, Khai, 13 months. In addition to two harassment charges involving Yolanda, Malik was charged with harassing his supermodel ex over the phone during the argument as well as a security guard, John McMahon, whom he attempted to “physically engage in a…

What was your reaction when they asked you to host the CMA Awards? It was a great surprise! When I was a little boy, we got to see our favorite country stars on TV on the CMAs. So to move to Nashville, win some [Entertainer of the Year in 2014 and 2015] and now be able to host is quite surreal. Pretty amazing. How have you been preparing for the big gig? It’s all about do your homework, be a pro, get up there and make the show fun. I feel pretty comfortable in the role. I’m lucky in that if I go over it a lot, I retain it and memorize a good bit. It won’t be mistake-free, but heck, I’ve learned how to navigate all those challenges too.…

Dorit Kemsley is trying to move on after a horrific ordeal. On Oct. 27 the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 45, was robbed at gunpoint in her Encino, Calif., home while her husband, PK, was traveling out of the country. It was an incident “no parent or person should ever have to experience,” she wrote on Instagram after the theft. Kemsley and her two children Jagger, 7, and Phoenix, 5, were home when three burglars broke in, confronted Kemsley and fled with jewelry, handbags and watches. (They still haven’t been caught.) In an Oct. 30 Instagram post, Kemsley clarified that her children were sleeping at the time and are “unaware” of what happened, writing, “I thank God for keeping my kids and myself from being physically harmed.” Three days…

A Teen’s Lockdown Hobby Earns Her International Acclaim SWANSEA, WALES In May 2020, when 14-year-old Makenzy Beard decided to pick up her mom’s old art supplies and start painting, it was mostly just a way to kill time during the pandemic. But a year and a half later, her hobby has more than paid off. Six of her works now hang in a prominent Wales gallery—and others have sold for as much as $12,000. “The weird part is that I’ve never been taught,” says Makenzy, who paints her emotional portraits of neighbors and family members from photographs. “My family loved it, so I did another one, and I began to enjoy it more and more.” Her work (also on Instagram @makenzy_beard) first gained attention in June, when her portrait of…

Growing up in suburban Los Angeles in the ’40s, Bob Mackie went to the movies every week. “I always knew what I wanted to do,” he says. “But I knew I was in trouble when my parents gave me a catcher’s mitt for Christmas. Then my good aunt gave me a jewelry-making kit. I made a few pairs of earrings, and that was that.” His future was written. Today Mackie, 82, is one of the few costume designers known for shaping characters and pop culture. Yet the king of sequins, winner of nine Emmys and a Tony, and subject of a new book, The Art of Bob Mackie, remains humble. “I’m not a singer,” he says with a shrug. “I’m not a dancer. I don’t fly on wires.” It was…

Last Time I Stayed up Too Late My wife [Emilie Livingston] just surprised me for my birthday with a bunch of friends for an evening affair. I had to make up for it the next day getting up early with my [sons Charlie, 6, and River, 4], but you only turn 30 once. Last Time Something Gave Me Chills River is obsessed with Spider-Man. He puts on the mask, and I say, “Oh gosh, River would love to see you, Spider-Man. River?” And he lifts up his mask and says, “Da-da, it’s me.” He never gets tired of it. Yesterday he said, “Da-da, promise for the rest of your life you’ll always know it’s me.” I promised him. Last Thing I Discovered About Myself How much empathy I could…

1 Oprah reveals her new favorite things Winfrey traded bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens for truffle sauces and slide sandals on her annual list. It also includes reading glasses “Gayle [King] and I went gaga for,” a pasta maker and a virtual reality headset. 2 Matthew Perry is writing a memoir “There has been so much written about me by others in the past,” says the Friends alum, whose book is due in fall 2022. “I thought it was time people heard it directly from the horse’s mouth.

This year six-time Emmy winner Harris Faulkner became the host of back-to-back programs on Fox News (The Faulkner Focus and Outnumbered), but the road to the solo anchor chair on Focus wasn’t always smooth. “I was in a category of a person of color, a woman under 40, in an industry that had mostly men over 50,” says Faulkner, now 56, of her pre-Fox career. “I quickly realized I couldn’t just sit on the sidelines and wait for things to be ready for me.” After working as an anchor in North Carolina, Kansas and Minnesota, Faulkner landed at Fox in 2005. “I think my success has always been measured by my work ethic. The minute I think I’ve accomplished something, I want to move on to the next thing.” As mom…

When Barry Watson filmed the pilot for 7th Heaven 25 years ago, he had no idea what was in store. “I was so broke at the time, I did it, but I was like, ‘Who is going to watch a show about a minister’s family?’” he recalls. “It was completely unexpected how it took off.” Indeed, the hit WB series, on which Watson, 47, played oldest sibling Matt Camden, continued for 10 years and made the actor a TV star. The fame element was always “uncomfortable,” he says. “I’m kind of shy!” In 2002 Watson received devastating news. The then-28-year-old was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “It was a huge shock,” he says. “But I’m a stubborn guy, so I said, ‘I’m going to fight like hell.’” After six months of…

When I partnered with Wells Fargo, one of the things I expressed to them was the importance of not simply providing charity but opportunity to underserved youth. They told me about Kollab, an organization developed through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Los Angeles County, which appealed because that’s where I was born and bred. It’s a mentorship program that teaches life skills and introduces kids to career prospects they didn’t even know existed. But it also goes beyond that, creating a space for Black kids to understand what financial health really is. “Financial literacy” is one of those buzzwords, but not everyone knows how credit works or how your life will move differently if you budget and spend within your means. If you understand that from a young…

An Ex-Marine Now Cooks for Vets When Dionisio Cucuta Jr. joined the Marines in 1977, cooking was a duty: “I didn’t want to do it, but in the military you’ve got no choice,” he says of making meals for thousands at the Marine air station in Beaufort, S.C. After he returned to civilian life six years later, it became his profession: He worked as a chef at upscale restaurants in New York City for three decades. And now, feeding people is his mission. Since the pandemic began in March 2020, Cucuta, 62, who was disabled during his military service, has helped feed 3,000 families—including about 300 fellow vets—each week through his Table to Table Tuesdays program, distributing meal kits in partnership with the Table to Table organization near his hometown…

Has your pregnancy been smooth so far? It’s been a roller coaster. It’s a fantastic preparation for learning to let go of control entering motherhood. You can’t control everything. You can make all the plans in the world, and you just have to be open and ready for what happens. What kinds of things are you doing to get ready to be a mom? My mom is here [in Austin] from India, and culturally for us it is normal to have a 40-day resting period [after the birth]. It is important during this period that women don’t feel guilty for doing nothing other than healing and eating nurturing foods. And I have the most amazing neighbors; they all wanted to start a meal train, which is so sweet. ‘OUR IDEAS…

Diciembre and Tashia Farries were posing for photos after their Oct. 22 wedding ceremony near Santa Monica Pier in California when they noticed a friendly stranger approaching. “I’m like, who’s this guy getting in our pictures?” Tashia, 37, says. “And we hear everyone like, ‘Wait, is that Tom Hanks?’” The Oscar winner, 65, walked up to the pair “and immediately treated us like family,” the chef adds. “He said, ‘Wow, what a beautiful wedding.’” Hanks—who pulled a similar move in New York City’s Central Park after coming across another wedding in 2016—asked the two brides for a photo and chatted with them. Diciembre, 33, calls the day “everything that we could ask for.” And afterward Tashia’s sister pointed out that Hanks shares a birthday (July 9) with their brother, who…

Shortly after Alec Baldwin left New Mexico in the wake of the fatal shooting on the set of his western Rust last week, he resurfaced some 2,100 miles away, taking refuge in a quaint Vermont town and the comfort of his family. Still, there was no escaping his agony over 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, whom Baldwin accidentally shot with a loaded prop gun on Oct. 21, killing her and injuring director Joel Souza, 48. “He is struggling, because he clearly understands that things are even worse for Halyna’s family,” a source says. “He doesn’t want any sympathy. He just wants to help Halyna’s husband [Matthew] and [9-year-old] child as much as he can.” But Baldwin, 63, may have reason to worry about himself. In an Oct. 27 press conference…

Miguel is one of the biggest names in Latin music. What’s it been like playing an icon? It was a huge risk to play someone who is still alive and so relevant—it’s the most challenging project I’ve ever had to do. Have you heard from Miguel about the show? He actually came on-set once when I was in character. He stared at me and was like, “Man, I’m good-looking.” How do you feel about Mexican representation in show business? I didn’t grow up with a superhero, and my sister didn’t grow up with a princess who spoke to her. I think it’s up to us to change that.…
