In a March 21 essay for The New Yorker, Amanda Peet revealed she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer right before Labor Day last year, while both of her parents were receiving hospice care. “I went for what I thought would be a routine scan,” wrote the Your Friends & Neighbors star, 54, who went in for checkups every six months after being told her breasts “require extra monitoring.” She added, “[My doctor] told me that she didn’t like the way something looked.” Soon after a biopsy revealed a “small” tumor, her father died. When she learned her cancer was HER2-negative, meaning cancerous cells in the breast don’t contain high levels of the protein, which fuels cancer growth, Peet said, “I was happier than I’d been pre-diagnosis.” A…

How does this album reflect your St. Louis upbringing? The shot of me in a dirty room [in the “Beat Up Chanel$” video] with all of the boys and the sunlight peeking through, that’s been my life so many times. Not even just in high school. Why did you go for a grungy, sleazy aesthetic? It’s more true to me. I told everyone, “This is going to be my ugly era.” They say an actress always gets her Oscar when she does it. How did your family react to the album? My mom is like, “I don’t like when you smoke cigarettes in videos. I like when you’re pretty and you dance.”  …

Sepideh Moafi remembers the exact moment she landed her role on HBO Max’s The Pitt. The actress, 40, was preparing to travel from New York to California to partake in a weeklong personal-growth retreat that required participants to give up their devices, and she had yet to hear back from her big audition. “I was resigned to the fact that maybe I didn’t have the role,” she says. But at 7 p.m. the night before her flight, she got the call. “I was elated, and I frantically packed even more, because I was going to be in California for not one week, but eight months,” Moafi says. She finished her retreat on a Saturday and began “medical boot camp” for the Emmy-winning drama two days later. “It was crazy but…

When Laura Orrico turned 48 in August 2024, she felt her dreams of having a family slowly slipping away. “I knew I couldn’t wait any longer,” says Orrico. “I kept hoping and holding out, but there was no time left, so I had to make a decision. Do it by myself or regret it for the rest of my life.” Being a single mom was never the plan, but after losing her husband, Ryan Cosgrove, to complications from a brain tumor in 2015, Orrico became a widow at 38. A decade later the actress and business owner, who appeared on CSI: Miami and Kevin Can Wait, used her late husband’s sperm, which he previously froze in 2007, to get pregnant. “One of my biggest fears was never having a family…

From People’s April 7, 1980, issue: After setting female pulses pounding in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (in which he performed a nearly nude fandango around a mesmerized Diane Keaton) and Yanks (as the GI who romanced Lisa Eichhorn), Richard Gere, 30, is emerging as Hollywood’s slickest new leading man. Gere’s star property of the moment is the role of the Rodeo Drive Romeo in American Gigolo, in which he displays a technique as smooth as his Giorgio Armani silks. The movie has become an unexpected hit because of the simple fact that American women are discovering what Gere’s costar Lauren Hutton already knows: “Richard is a sexpot.” The outwardly reticent and aloof Gere tries to dismiss the press. “I’m just me, that’s all. I don’t want to be a personality,”…

Last time I couldn’t stop laughing I was playing Left Center Right with my friends and family, and we laughed until we about fell over. We play with money, not chips, so there’s a lot on the line. Last thing I do before bed I kiss my wife [producer Linda Wallem]. I [play games] on my iPad—spades, a little solitaire, a little backgammon, a little jigsaw puzzle. Then I put on my CPAP and go to sleep. Last indulgence My daughter [Johnnie Rose] is an incredible chef and baker. Anything she makes is delicious. I have tangerine trees in the backyard, and [she’ll] make tangerine tarts. She’s got an interesting pineapple jam. It’s out of control. Last moment of pride My daughter [Bailey’s] wedding. She really lives life very intentionally,…

After years of being one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, Leonardo DiCaprio may have truly found the one. A source close to the actor, 51, says his relationship with his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, a 27-year-old Italian model he has been dating since 2023, “does feel different and more serious” than previous ones. “He genuinely cares for her,” the insider adds. “They may not be ready to get married, but for the first time Leo is open to a serious future.” Their date night at the Oscars on March 15—DiCaprio was nominated for best actor for his performance in One Battle After Another—was a rare public outing for the couple. The source says DiCaprio “is much more openly affectionate with Vittoria than his friends have ever seen him be with any…

“I had no idea there were that many people out there that even knew I was alive,” says Barry Manilow at his desert home overlooking Palm Springs, Calif., and its sprawling mountain backdrop. For the beloved music icon—who’s still astonishingly modest more than 50 years into his enduring career—it took a brush with death and an overwhelming outpouring of love from his legions of Fanilows to come to that realization. After Manilow, 82, revealed on Dec. 22 that doctors had found a cancerous tumor on his lung, those fans “sent the most beautiful things to me, from all over the world, people writing to me and wishing me well. Don’t make me start to cry,” says the musician, pausing to wipe away a tear. “It should be a horrible experience, and…

Chuck Norris wasn’t just a master of martial arts and an action-movie star. He was also a ubiquitous, hilarious meme. His tough-guy persona—cultivated in films like Missing in Action and on TV’s Walker, Texas Ranger—became so ingrained in pop culture, fans paired outrageous claims with photos of the rugged macho man. For one: “Chuck Norris built the hospital he was born in.” Norris sometimes got in on the joke. On March 10, his 86th birthday, he posted an Instagram video of himself punching a sparring partner—then declaring: “I don’t age. I level up.” ‘I’M A PEOPLE’S ACTOR, NOT A CRITIC’S ACTOR, AND I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN’ Ultimately Norris proved to be mortal after all. He died “at peace” and surrounded by loved ones on March 19, his family said in…

February 18 was an emotional day for Cedric the Entertainer as he filmed the series finale of his CBS sitcom The Neighborhood with castmates Tichina Arnold and Max Greenfield after eight seasons together. “I don’t think it really hit us until the afterparty,” the comedian recalled days later over Zoom. “I was looking around that room going, ‘This is the last day this group of people will be together in this capacity.’ ” But just like the May 11 finale will represent, life keeps rolling on—and after filming wrapped, the dad of three, 61, jetted straight from Los Angeles to New York to begin rehearsals for his Broadway return in the revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. The play, which opens April 25 and also stars Taraji…

Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette season might go down in history as the most dramatic chapter of the franchise, though it likely will never air. On March 19, shortly after TMZ published a 2023 video showing the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star attacking her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen and throwing chairs at him in the presence of her daughter Indy, ABC announced that her Bachelorette season, which was slated to premiere on March 22, had been pulled. In response to the news, a representative for Paul, 31, released a statement alleging that she has suffered “extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation” for years. “Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation and public shaming,” her representative said. “She is currently exploring all of…

Known as an attentive mother to her then-8-year-old son Noah, Jennifer Brown was nowhere to be seen on Jan. 4, 2023, when Noah got off the school bus at their townhouse in suburban Limerick Township, Pa. “When I heard that, I knew something was really wrong,” recalls Brown’s best friend, Tiffany Barron. Although Barron held out hope that the mother of two would be found alive, two weeks later Brown’s body was discovered buried in the dirt under a pile of pallets at a warehouse in nearby Royersford. An autopsy showed Brown, 43, had broken ribs and likely died of asphyxiation. Barron, 47, who worked with detectives searching for her missing friend, says she is still in a state of shock: “Nobody deserves to be murdered and discarded like a…

Ed Begley Jr. still remembers the “jarring” moment in 2016 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. “It was devastating,” says the actor, 76, best known for his breakout role as Dr. Victor Ehrlich on the ’80s medical drama St. Elsewhere. Immediately reminded of his close friend, British actor Bob Hoskins—who starred in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit and died in 2014 at age 71, three years after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s—Begley asked his neurologist, “How long do I have?” Back home, he told his wife of 25 years, actress and producer Rachelle Carson-Begley, 65, and his three kids—son Nicholas, now 47, and daughters Amanda, 48, and Hayden, 26—to prepare for the little time he thought they had left with him. “I wasn’t trying to freak anybody…
