‘It’s all up to Tom. I’ve been having some conversations with him about it. We’ll see’—MILES TELLER, on a possible third Top Gun installment, to Entertainment Tonight ‘I always think, “Oh gosh, couldn’t that person just die?” Not … not painfully. Just die, but it hasn’t worked out’—MARTHA STEWART, joking that she wants her crushes’ partners to die so she can date them, on Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast ‘43 never felt and looked so good!!!!’—KEVIN HART, celebrating his July 6 birthday, on Instagram ‘I’ve come to terms with the intricacies of my body that make me, me.

Denise Richards plays a business owner in the new rom-com Love Accidentally, and it’s art imitating life. “I’ve been working since I was a teenager. I had jobs working at grocery stores and ice-cream shops,” says the Bold and the Beautiful actress, 51. “And working in film, TV and reality shows, I have to be the boss a lot of times.” The new movie (streaming July 15 on Amazon Freevee) isn’t Richards’s first rom-com: She also appeared in the star-studded 2003 holiday hit Love Actually. “I loved being a part of that movie, even though if you blink, you’ll miss me!” Richards says. “I’ll never forget meeting the cast. I was so starstruck.” Now the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum hopes to pass her work ethic on to…

Babies Actress Kate Mara, 39, and actor Jamie Bell, 36, are expecting their second child together. They share a 3-year-old daughter, while Bell is also dad to son Jack, 8, with his ex-wife, actress Evan Rachel Wood, 34. • Pippa Middleton, 38, and her husband, financier James Matthews, 47, recently became a family of five with the birth of their third child, a girl. The pair are also parents to son Arthur, 3, and daughter Grace, 16 months. • According to court documents, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, 51, welcomed twins with Shivon Zilis, 36, the director of operations and special projects at his Neuralink company in November, only weeks before the birth of Exa Dark Sideræl, his daughter with ex-partner Grimes, 34. Musk is father to nine children from…

Christina Perri is tearing up as she recalls a heartening moment she recently shared with her daughter Carmella, 4. “She was singing ‘Swinging on a Star’ to my belly,” says the singer, who is 24 weeks pregnant. “The feeling of joy I had right then, it just represented so much of the healing we’ve done.” The 35-year-old singer—who enjoyed a pair of ubiquitous pop hits more than a decade ago with 2010’s “Jar of Hearts” and 2011’s “A Thousand Years”—has finally found solace following a devastating two years. In November 2020—10 months after miscarrying—Perri suffered a late-term loss when her baby girl with her husband, Paul Costabile, 35, died in utero at 33 weeks. “There was so much anger and pain and sadness,” says Perri of losing the daughter they…

Square Scoop Mina says this is “the best ice-cream shop in town.” (Her daughter Charlotte “Charlie,” 1, loves their honey-lavender flavor.) Grab a waffle cone and wander through the parlor’s historic Fountain Square neighborhood. Upland Brewing Co. The family-friendly watering hole with an outdoor patio has “a fun turf area for kids and dogs,” says Mina. Alongside the 22 beers on tap, they offer shareable snacks from fully loaded nachos to whipped feta-and-honey dip—all with a focus on using locally sourced ingredients. Two Chicks District Co. Mina and her family spend many weekend mornings at her downtown home decor shop, where she fuels up for the day with an iced latte or mimosa at the in-store bistro. “I love getting to meet all the people that come to visit!” she…

Married Jesse Plemons & Kirsten Dunst The actor, 34, and the actress, 40, recently tied the knot at the GoldenEye resort in Oracabessa, Jamaica, after six years together, her rep confirms. The Power of the Dog stars—who met filming Fargo in 2015—have two children together. Back On? Jason Momoa & Eiza González The Aquaman actor, 42, and the Ambulance actress, 32, split this summer after several months together, but they were spotted leaving the same two London hot spots on July 5. “She stays in touch with him,” a source says of González. Going Strong Dominic Cooper & Gemma Chan The Mamma Mia! actor, 44, and the 39-year-old Eternals actress—who were first linked in 2018—enjoyed a rare public outing at Wimbledon on July 6.

‘I WORK OUT IN THE FITNESS CENTER AND DO 100 PUSH-UPS EVERY DAY’—GEORGE TAKEI Before hitting it big on Star Trek, the velvet-voiced George Takei began his showbiz career at age 17 dubbing monster movies made in Asia. “It was a baptism by fire,” Takei, now 85, says of the complicated endeavor trying to match English dialogue “while the actor’s lips are moving in Japanese.” By comparison, voicing his character Ohga, a henchman cat in the animated Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank (in theaters July 15), was a breeze. Takei, also a civil rights activist who’s been married to husband Brad since 2008, talks about the animated comedy and staying optimistic in the face of adversity: “We’ve come a long way in my lifetime.” Ohga says your famous…

There was never any doubt that Tony Sirico, who played henchman Paulie “Walnuts” Gualtieri on HBO’s The Sopranos, understood the Mob mindset. “Where I grew up, every guy was trying to prove himself,” the Brooklyn native told the Los Angeles Times in 1990. “You either had to have a tattoo or a bullet hole. I had both.” The 79-year-old actor, who died on July 8 after a struggle with dementia, had a rap sheet of 28 arrests. (He discovered acting in the early 1970s while serving a stint for armed robbery.) But in show business, the ability to be versatile—menacing yet funny, with a dead-eyed stare over a comically broad nose—trumps most weapons. He was one of the best performers in the series’ ensemble—“as tough, as loyal and as big-hearted…

How do you get into that kind of head space? You commit to thoughts and mannerisms that you wouldn’t normally want to. Is it possible to shake it off at the end of the day? I used cocktails and videogames and playlists and Curb Your Enthusiasm. When I was shooting this show, I was not the best version of myself. I mean, I missed the birth of my son [Harris] while I was in a hair and makeup trailer. I’m not proud of that. I wish I had been there. What’s bringing you joy this summer? Being in my swimming pool with my wife and my son! What’s the word on the Cruella sequel? I am told the script is being written as we speak, and we’re hoping to…

If James Caan had written his autobiography—or commissioned a ghostwritten one that captured his tough, side-of-the-mouth delivery—the book would have been a corker. The tale peaks early, with his legendary turn as Sonny Corleone in 1972’s The Godfather, but then comes a long, wild ride. There’s at least one more classic performance, in 1990’s Misery; stints in rehab; missed opportunities (he said no to the title role in 1978’s Superman: “I didn’t want to wear the cape”); four divorces and five children; a self-imposed hiatus during which he coached Little League; a comeback in middle age; and the holiday classic that finally made this volatile star safe for family viewing, 2003’s Elf. But Caan nixed any memoir. “I haven’t got the patience for that,” he once said. “It’s been a…

Marvin Frink is walking through a field of bright green sorghum grass beneath a scorching North Carolina sun. He turns toward a nearby pasture where his herd of black Angus cattle are grazing and lets out a loud whoop in their direction. “Whoo-hoo! Let’s go!” he calls. At the sound of his voice, the cattle erupt in a chorus of moos. Slowly, one animal, then another, and finally the entire herd amble across the field toward Frink, surrounding him. He points toward a few at the front and rattles off their names: Grace, Mercy, Daisy—the last one named in honor of his grandmother. “Once I had someone come here who said to me, ‘Man that’s a lot of beef,’” Frink says, reaching out a hand to pat one of the…

BEST OVERALL Our tester said it has the “fierce power” of a larger vacuum, lifting flour and cereal easily off both carpet and hardwood. Capacity is also a strength: Its bin only had to be emptied once after a full day of use. BEST FOR PET OWNERS With a flexible hose and specialized fur attachment, this vac reached under furniture and removed pet hair from even high-pile carpeting. BEST FOR QUICK PICKUPS Compact enough to zip around objects on a table or fit in the console of a car, this no-frills model “inhaled” popcorn kernels and, according to one tester, actually “made cleaning fun.” Hey, if that’s your jam.… A SPICE GIRL’S SECRET WEAPON Dyson’s line of convertible cordless vacs uses a two-tiered cyclonic system to wrangle dust and microscopic…

Last Fashion Disaster Occasionally I’ll come across a picture of myself from the early 2000s, and we were all making our hair very spiky in the front. I’m not sure why we signed up for that, but those pictures don’t hold up well. Last Time I Sang Out Loud In a cast van the other day for The Afterparty for Apple TV+. We were taking names of cast members and making up songs. Anytime, anywhere, I don’t care how stupid the song is, I’m in. Last Time I Was Starstruck I’m working with Elizabeth Perkins now, and it was hard to not be starstruck watching her. Big was a big movie in my childhood, so it was pretty exciting to meet her. But I played it very cool. Last…

After just seven performances on his Wonder world tour, Shawn Mendes announced on July 8 that he’d be pushing back three weeks of upcoming concert dates. “I’ve been touring since I was 15, and to be honest it’s always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family,” the singer, 23, wrote in a statement on Instagram. While he initially felt ready to “dive back in” after “a few years off the road,” he said the decision was “premature, and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to me, and I’ve hit a breaking point.” After speaking with his team and health professionals, Mendes—who had kicked off the North American leg of his tour on June 27—decided he needed to “take some…

‘IT IS BITTER; IT IS SWEET; IT IS THE WAY OF OUR WORLD, THIS SAYING GOODBYE’—GREGORY ITZIN IN 2010 ON THE END OF 24 Gregory Itzin, who portrayed the villainous President Charles Logan on the hit series 24, died during emergency surgery on July 8. A Washington, D.C., native who trained at the American Conservatory Theater, Itzin was a Tony-nominated stage actor and appeared in several Star Trek series and on NCIS. But it was Logan, a character The New York Times dubbed “Nixon-lite,” that earned him two Emmy nominations. “When I play the President, I think of him as an iconic figure,” explained Itzin, who is survived by his wife of 43 years, two children and a grandson. “So if nothing else, I wanted Logan to be a…

Should I unbutton another?” Martin Short asks as he fusses with his shirt buttons. Steve Martin, out of sight around a corner and getting touch-ups ahead of his video interview, responds: “Not even seeing what you’re talking about, I’d say button up.” Laughing, Short quips back: “By the way, how many layers [of makeup] are they doing, Steve?” Good-natured barbs and effortless humor form the cornerstone of Martin and Short’s 36-year friendship, which began on the set of Three Amigos! in 1986 and endures today. The legends are currently on their You Won’t Believe What They Look Like Today! comedy tour, and they’re also back with season 2 of their hit Hulu series Only Murders in the Building. “There’s just an ease between us,” says Martin, 76. Adds Short, 72:…

There was no such thing as a stranger in Jasper, Texas (pop. 8,000), until the early morning of June 7, 1998. James Byrd Jr. was walking home from a friend’s party and was approached by three men—Shawn Berry, Lawrence Brewer and John King. They abducted the 49-year-old father of three and took him to a remote area, where they spray-painted his face, brutally beat him and chained him to the back of their pickup truck. They then dragged him for three miles on an asphalt road before leaving his torso in a Black cemetery. The lynching horrified the nation. “My dad’s funeral was closed casket,” says Byrd’s younger daughter Jamie Byrd, who was 16 at the time. “There was a lot of media, a lot of dignitaries, politicians.” Within days…

After 7 Years—and 2,000 Miles—a Purrfect Homecoming Joe and Leanna Drnec had long ago accepted they’d never see their cat Ebi again. They’d let her outside one morning in July 2015 (“She’d just go crazy being inside the house,” recalls Joe), and when the Siamese mix didn’t come back to their Riverside, Calif., home that night, they feared she was gone for good. “We put up signs and talked to the neighbors, but no one had seen her,” says Joe, 40. The couple moved to Knoxville, Tenn., later that year, and “we went through the whole emotional process of letting go of her, because we thought she was just gone.” Which is why Joe was stunned when he got a call in January from the Riverside County shelter that Ebi…
