‘There’s no corn in the field, there’s people in the field. They didn’t plant because we’re out here rockin’’—DAVE CHAPELLE, on doing his comedy show in an Ohio cornfield, on Jimmy Kimmel Live ‘You have someone who looks at you and doesn’t know anything on your résumé, doesn’t know anything about your bank account, doesn’t know anything, doesn’t care and just loves you’—KATY PERRY, on becoming a mom, to L’Officiel ‘If I could tell my 8-year-old son one thing … I would really encourage him to not get married in his 20s’—ANNA FARIS, on her advice to son Jack, on the Anna Faris Is Unqualified podcast ‘Faces that change, that move, are beautiful faces, but we’ve stopped learning how to love those faces because we keep covering them up…

After weeks of rendezvousing under the radar, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck aren’t hiding their on-again relationship anymore. On May 31 the stars stepped out for dinner together at the Merois restaurant on the rooftop of the Pendry West Hollywood hotel. “They looked super happy, and Ben had his arm around Jennifer during dinner,” a source says of the pair, who were joined at their table by two other people, including Lopez’s manager Benny Medina. Days later Affleck, 48, was spotted flashing a grin while leaving Lopez’s L.A. home on June 2. “They are very happy together,” says a source close to Lopez, 51. “They are slowly starting to talk about the future.” After spending time with Affleck in L.A., Lopez returned to her main home base in Miami…

John Mellencamp has a new muse: The rock star, 69, is dating real estate agent Natasha Barrett. The new couple were spotted holding hands on a Malibu beach during Memorial Day weekend. “They’ve been seeing each other for a few months,” a source says of the pair, who were introduced by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, the musician’s daughter. Barrett, 46, has worked with celebrity clients like Chris Pratt at luxury brokerage the Agency in L.A. She has two children, while her new beau has five from three past marriages. Now Mellencamp—who split from celebrity skin-care expert Jamie Sue “Nurse Jamie” Sherrill in January, more than a year after ending his engagement to Meg Ryan—has found happiness with Barrett. Adds the source: “Everybody really likes…

A Man and His Curious Cat Companion Explore the World by Bike, Skis and Paraglider BESANÇON, FRANCE When a friendly 6-month-old tabby walked up to Remy Vicarini seven years ago in a French animal shelter, the engineer knew that she was the one. “We found each other very well,” says Vicarini, 31. After bringing the kitten, whom he named Cathode, home, he started taking her on short walks outdoors, and this early interest in nature slowly grew into a taste for adventure. Now, Cathode and Vicarini charm their 76,000 Instagram followers (@mon_copain_ray) with photos of them skiing, paragliding, motorcycling and more. “Cathode is a very curious cat—she loves discovering new things,” Vicarini says of his pet, whom he has outfitted with her own goggles and helmet. In Cathode’s less adventurous…

“The truth is, I don’t know where I’m from.” The chilling words are spoken in Spanish by a young woman in Culiacán Rosales, Mexico, interviewed for what was supposed to be a fun, carefree seconds-long person-on-the-street video for social media. “The truth is, I don’t like having birthdays,” the young woman says. “If [my family] are looking at this show, I want them to come for me because I’m here, kidnapped. Come for me …” Social media personality Oscar Zazueta, who conducted the interview, sensed immediately something was wrong. “Right away I thought she was in trouble,” he says. He and social media videographer AkayAlla began posting the interview to multiple platforms in early March, but when it hit TikTok on April 15, it quickly went viral and soon had…

Last Time I Sang Out Loud A little bit today. Someone quoted Kenny Rogers, and then we just started singing, you know [she sings], “You’ve got to know … la la la la.” That’s it, “The Gambler.” Last Time a Pet Made Me Laugh My husband [François-Henri Pinault] said, “Did you get a new dog?” Because he’s always paranoid. I look outside, and our Frenchie is playing with a fox! She’s the smallest dog I’ve ever had, but she’s the boss. Last Recurring Dream I dream a lot that I’m flying or levitating, where I just take off from Earth. I love the sensation—just to know that you know what it feels like.

For Kathy Hilton, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills may have been a family affair—her actress sisters Kim and Kyle Richards have starred on the Bravo hit—but “I never thought I’d say yes to it myself,” says the philanthropist and mother of four, 62. “Kyle convinced me, and I was very flattered. I thought it would be an opportunity for us to spend time together. I really missed her.” Indeed, Hilton and Kyle, 52, have had a fractious relationship for nearly a decade for reasons Hilton won’t specify, other than to say “things piled up … and what people think, they’ve got it so wrong.” But ultimately, “family is family,” she says. “Kyle and I have gotten to know each other a lot deeper. And it feels so good to be…

From her No. 1 hits “Opposites Attract” and “Straight Up” to serving as the kindest judge on the original American Idol, Paula Abdul has influenced pop culture for decades. The Grammy winner, 59, looked back on her life in the spotlight on the new People in the ’90s podcast with hosts Jason Sheeler and Andrea Lavinthal. The ’90s are having another moment. Why can’t we forget them? I feel like the late ’80s and ’90s had the best music. Bad for hair and style, but great music. It was happy music. And artists like Madonna, Janet [Jackson], Michael [Jackson]—we were dancers. You helped define music videos as we see them today. Do you have a favorite? My favorite video I did was to “Cold Hearted.” It was a mission to…

Displayed throughout Howie Mandel’s sizable office and studio in Burbank are nods to his career as a television host and his life as a comedian with OCD. There’s a Deal or No Deal slot machine, a cheeky framed photo of his America’s Got Talent costar Simon Cowell and, perhaps most notably, a “Howie”-branded hand sanitizer and an “obsessive compulsive” action figure (a gift from pal Kelly Ripa). “Finding the funny is my coping skill,” says Mandel, 65, who has been candid about his battles with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and mental health for years. “Funny is my panacea. If I’m not laughing, then I’m screaming.” Mandel’s condition has had a crushing impact on his life. “Yesterday was one of those devastatingly dark days where I couldn’t get out of bed. I…

George Rivera was taking a break from remodeling his home in Knoxville, Tenn., on July 8 when his cell phone rang with a FaceTime call. His oldest daughter, Naya, was thousands of miles away, tooling around in a rented pontoon boat on a lake outside of Los Angeles with her 4-year-old son Josey and—as he says she did throughout her life—wanted her dad’s advice. His daughter, in sunglasses and a baseball cap, was happy and grinning beneath the boat’s canopy, and he took a screenshot. “She wanted to go swimming with Josey out in the middle of the lake,” recalls George, 64, an avid boater who worried when his daughter admitted that the boat had no anchor. “I could see that the wind was blowing, and my stomach was just…

Jimmy Smits has come a long way from the tough New York City neighborhoods where he grew up. Born to mom Emelina, a nurse, and dad Cornelis, a manufacturing supervisor, Smits moved with his family to the South Bronx and all over Brooklyn. “It was pretty rough,” he says of the East New York neighborhood where he went to high school. But perhaps the most pivotal moment of his life happened when he was 10 and his family moved to Puerto Rico. “It was like out of the frying pan, into the fire,” says Smits, 65. “It was total immersion—all of a sudden, American culture stopped.” As he navigated a new home, new school and new language, he also developed a deep appreciation for the people and the culture. “All…

Marvel projects are notoriously secretive—what can you say about your character? She’s a judge for the TVA, the Time Variance Authority, this sort of bureau that oversees the order of time in the universe. She’s unlike anybody I’ve ever played. What did you enjoy most about working with costar Tom Hiddleston? It’s really fun because I’ve known Tom for a long time. We were at drama school together, and with all the weirdness going on in 2020 it was great to be [working] with drama-school buddies. What are you looking forward to most as things start returning to normal? I’m excited to see the sea again!…

For years there was one red carpet moment AnnaLynne McCord always dreaded. “The question I most despised was ‘What is your sense of style?’” says the star best known for her roles on Nip/Tuck and 90210. “I didn’t know how to answer it. Everyone has a style, a kind of vibe that’s them, but I had so many different vibes that were me.” Plenty of other actors might say the same, but for McCord, the sense of multiple selves had a dark source: She was suffering from dissociative identity disorder (formerly called multiple personality disorder), a mental illness characterized by two or more distinct identities existing within one person. Diagnosed in 2019, McCord eventually came to recognize and name the handful of “alters,” as she learned they are called, that…

There are a few things Wolfgang Van Halen wants to make clear. First, he’s really a nice guy. Yes, his dad, Eddie Van Halen, was one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and his mom is beloved TV actress Valerie Bertinelli. “People cynically would be like, ‘Ah, he’s probably a dick.’ But my childhood was completely normal. It wasn’t lavish or insane,” says the 30-year-old musician, a former bassist for his late father’s era-defining rock band, Van Halen. “[I was taught to] treat people how you want to be treated. It’s as simple as that.” Second—and perhaps even more importantly—he’s not “Wolfie,” the nickname Bertinelli gave him as a child that he says his parents’ fans have called him for far too long. “My whole life, I’ve just been…
