Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have their hands full after welcoming their sixth child, daughter María Lucía Victoria, born via surrogate just five months after Hilaria, 37, gave birth to their son Eduardo “Edu” Pau Lucas in September. “For Hilaria, having two babies so close in age is pretty crazy, but she still loves it,” a source says. “Lucía is perfect. She fits right in.” But diapers and sleep deprivation aren’t the only challenges facing the couple. On March 3 Alec, 62, announced he was quitting Twitter when he received backlash for retweeting an article titled “Gillian Anderson’s American Accent Throws Some People Off” and writing “Switching accents? That sounds… fascinating.” His comment was seemingly a reference to his wife’s recent controversy over her heritage. In December Hilaria’s name began…

Adam Levine is back with new music and will perform an American Express Unstaged concert on March 30 with Maroon 5. But first the 41-year-old Maroon 5 frontman—who shares daughters Dusty Rose, 4, and Gio Grace, 3, with his wife, model Behati Prinsloo, 32, is opening up about teaming up with Megan Thee Stallion on their new single “Beautiful Mistakes” and keeping in touch with friend Blake Shelton after leaving The Voice in 2019. How did the Megan Thee Stallion collaboration come about? We have a history as a band of embracing a genre that is different than ours, and she was the person that we were like, “We’ve got to get her to do this.” She’s a lovely human being, and it was instant chemistry. She’s the best. We…

Being a musician is not easy—especially during the pandemic, when there hasn’t been much work available, since so many of us rely on live shows for a living. Luckily MusiCares is there to help. Since March 2020, the charity has distributed over $24 million for COVID-19 relief efforts, helping more than 30,000 artists. Their support encompasses everything from helping musicians pay rent and keep food on their tables and gasoline in their cars to assisting with mental health support and more. I am passionate about all things music and giving back, so on March 12 I’m joining other artists such as BTS, Jhené Aiko and John Legend for Music on a Mission. It’s a virtual concert that will honor the resilience of the music industry and help raise much-needed…

What can fans expect in this second season? Our writers like to shock the audience, but they don’t tell stories linearly. We’re really going to dive into the history and why the characters are where they are. Karen suffered a terrible trauma in season 1—what have you learned about yourself from playing her? Empathy, and not to judge a person’s journey. Congrats on your engagement to actor Victor Webster! How does it feel? I’ve known in my heart for a while that this is how I felt—I’m excited that we get to begin forever together.…

As a girl, Melissa Bernstein wanted to be Barbie—blonde, popular, perfect. “I thought she was the most beautiful thing ever, and she seemed so happy all the time.” Whereas Melissa, who grew up in Pennsylvania and Colorado, felt trapped inside her troubled mind. “Barbie was the antithesis of who I was,” she says. “I was an isolated, miserable misfit, and so I retreated to a fantasy world in my head.” There, imaginary friends shared space with a “demon” who harped on Melissa’s flaws, and with thousands of rhyming verses that just came to her, articulating her despair. She would scrawl the verses—dozens a day—onto notepads, scraps of trash, even toilet paper, and then stash them away in a box. “Like dumping the garbage,” she says. “They were too humiliating to…

MEGAN RAPINOE, 35 “Beyond the obvious—that we’re in the middle of a global pandemic, and vaccines have eradicated major illnesses throughout our history—I’m getting vaccinated to keep myself safe. I’m getting vaccinated for my family. And I’m getting vaccinated for vulnerable people. If I got the virus, chances are I would be okay, but a lot of people do not have that luxury. Frontline workers, health care workers, long-term-care-facility workers, firefighters, people in nursing homes and corrections facilities—they don’t have the luxury of staying home. I’m completely nonessential in this whole thing, other than staying home, wearing a mask, getting vaccinated and keeping myself as safe as possible so I don’t infect anyone else. “This year has been incredibly challenging. We’ve seen selfishness and just how blatant the disregard for…

Adele is stepping into a new era. On March 4 the singer, 32, and her ex-husband, entrepreneur Simon Konecki, finalized their divorce nearly two years after announcing their split. In September 2019 Adele filed for divorce from Konecki, 46, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting joint custody of their son Angelo, 8, after seven years together. “Adele and her partner have separated,” her rep said when announcing the split, adding that the pair are “committed” to raising their son together. Adele has since embraced new opportunities, including hosting Saturday Night Live last October, and has ventured onto the dating scene. “She’s been a lot more social and opened up quite a bit,” a source previously said of Adele, who was linked to British rapper Skepta, 38, last fall. Still, her…

Rescued Sheep Gets the Weight of the Wool Taken Off His Shoulders LANCEFIELD, AUSTRALIA Baarack, a male merino sheep, looked odd when he arrived at Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary on Feb. 5. “He looked like a moving cloud,” says Pam Ahern, 60, the founder and director of the 153-acre nonprofit. Before being placed in the sanctuary, Baarack was found roaming the woods alone, weighed down by six years’ worth of unshorn wool. Although there are wild horses and pigs in Australia, wild sheep are rare because the animals depend on regular shearings to live comfortably, says Ahern. “It’s a miracle that he survived.” It took the sanctuary an hour to shear 78 lbs. of filthy wool off the 143-lb. Baarack, whom they estimate to be about 8 years old. “Normally…

Even as a kid, Chip Gaines knew he didn’t want a 9-to-5 job. “I always had the feeling that I was cut from a different cloth,” he says. “My mom used to tell people I was going to be a preacher when I grew up. My dad would add, ‘If he doesn’t end up in jail first!’” Gaines wound up doing neither of those things—but he did manage to find a job far from the daily grind. He and wife Joanna are now at the helm of the massive Magnolia lifestyle empire, which includes the return of their megahit home-renovation series Fixer Upper and the launch of their Magnolia TV network (a partnership with Discovery), debuting July 15 on discovery+. Gaines, 46, has also written his second memoir, No Pain,…

During the mostly virtual Golden Globes on Feb. 28, viewers watched as Andra Day—until this year best known as the singer behind the hit 2015 anthem “Rise Up”—sat on a couch between her parents, anxiously awaiting the Best Actress in a Movie Drama category. Nominated for her first major acting role, as Billie Holiday in the Hulu film The United States vs. Billie Holiday, Day was up against Hollywood veterans like Frances McDormand and Viola Davis. When her name was called as the winner, Day, 36, wept as her parents embraced her. After thanking God and her fellow nominees, she gave credit to the music legend who has long inspired her: “the amazing, transformative, dynamic Billie Holiday.” The singer’s fiery, layered portrayal of Holiday has become the talk of awards…

When Katie Couric, 64, became Jeopardy!’s first-ever female guest host on March 8, her turn at the podium (where she’ll remain for two weeks) marked one of the few things she hasn’t done on TV. “It was my first game show!” she says. Couric admits the job ended up being a lot harder than it looks. “It is very complicated,” she says. “It requires a lot of multitasking.” It also helped a great cause. Jeopardy! matched the contestants’ winnings during her tenure and donated the money to Stand Up To Cancer, designating it for pancreatic cancer research. “I did that in honor of Alex,” she says of iconic host Alex Trebek, who succumbed to his cancer battle in November. “He is so missed.” How did it feel to be a…

Raised with three athletic brothers, Tammy Jo Zywicki was competitive, vivacious and determined—going so far as to cofound a soccer team at her high school just because she wanted to play. After she arrived at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, her bobbing blonde ponytail was a fixture on the collegiate soccer field. She also discovered photography, which grew into a passion, and she began taking pictures for the Grinnell yearbook, The Cyclone. Coming off a semester abroad in Spain, she planned to arrive early on campus for the start of her senior year to photograph athletes gearing up for the fall season. The ambitious 21-year-old had an internship lined up at the Art Institute of Chicago and looked forward to graduating with a double major in Spanish and art history.…

For Sean Murray, growing up the son of a Navy captain meant “home” was defined by wherever his dad, Craig, was stationed. The actor spent time in Singapore, Australia and London before the age of 8 and was raised on bases in a series of nondescript houses that the family often first saw when they pulled up outside. “I remember my mom and I joking about, ‘Is it going to be a light shade of military green or a dark shade of military green?’” he says. There were strict rules about personalizing their temporary homes, but one thing Murray was allowed to do was decorate the walls of his bedroom. His first foray into interior design was a 3D velvet Guns N’ Roses poster. “It was the cover of Appetite…

Last Thing I Learned About Myself I’ve always considered myself a very social person, but being forced to stay home, I realized I’m okay by myself for a while. I actually really needed it. Last Time I Danced I just had a few friends over to have an outside, distanced French bistro party. I’m super into making playlists and love a theme party, so we ended up dancing in the yard to French pop and disco. Last Time I Missed Someone I’m going to get teary. I really miss hugging my mom. She lives in L.A. and just got her first shot [of a COVID-19 vaccine], but we’ve been very careful. Once I finally get mine, I’m going to hug the heck out of her. Last Time I Was…
