What do you love about Brooke? Her journey is universally relatable: Once you reach the mountaintop, it’s not always everything it’s cracked up to be. Has the show changed your views about social media? I’ve grown a massive appreciation for Gen Z as a whole. It’s like we birthed social media, but they’re schooling us on how it actually works. Has Justin Theroux responded to the show’s name-checking him all the time? I met him and he gave me a big hug. He thought it was so funny.…

‘It’s easy to stereotype me. But don’t judge a book by its cover’—FABIO It was the summer of 1987 when Fabio Lanzoni became simply Fabio. Then a successful model—Gap, Versace—he was dancing in a Miami club with that comic-book-hero jaw, those blue eyes, the hair like a member of Whitesnake and a chest like He-Man’s. The sum of his parts: The Ideal Man. “Then these three girls come over and say, ‘You look exactly like the guy on our books!’” Fabio remembers. “I said, ‘That’s a good pickup line.’” He had no idea what they were talking about. He had posed for a few photographs that were to become book covers, but he hadn’t yet seen any of them. The women left and returned with novels in hand. “I go…

On a recent night at Encircle in Salt Lake City, a center for LGBTQ youth and their families, a transgender teen came running into the house. In pursuit was her enraged father, who hadn’t seen her in more than a year. Terrified, the teen hid in the bathroom, with two friends standing guard. Meanwhile Stephenie Larsen, Encircle’s 50-year-old founder and CEO, tried to de-escalate the situation. “I try to say, if you want a relationship with your child, one way would be to respect where they’re at right now,” she says. “But sometimes up goes a wall.” Larsen, a mother of six, is trying to break down those walls. She’s opened several homes for LGBTQ youth and their families in Utah, a state where more than 60 percent of the…

Being back home in Texas has energized me … I grew up in San Antonio, and Austin has been home [for my wife Genevieve and me] since 2010. There’s a beating heart to this town. I love the pace, and it’s very outdoorsy. L.A. is so entertainment-industry-based, I never really felt off the job. We are eating from our backyard now … We have peppers, squash, eggplants, berries, a peach tree and a pear tree. And we have chicken coops. During the pandemic, when the grocery stores were shut down, we’d hand out eggs to our neighbors! I am an early riser these days … I feel better when I wake up early. I can nap at lunch! I have a 2-year-old German shepherd, Bridger, and I’ll take him on a…

Days after a judge denied Britney Spears’s request to expedite a Sept. 29 court hearing in hopes of removing her father as the conservator of her estate, Jamie Spears claimed he’s willing to step aside—but only “when the time is right.” In new documents filed on Aug. 12, his attorney slammed Jamie’s ex Lynne and Britney’s new lawyer Mathew Rosengart for “unjustified attacks” against her client. The lawyer also said Jamie, 69, “intends to work” with Rosengart and the court to “prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator.” Rosengart called it “a major victory” for Britney, 39, whose dad has been co-conservator of her estimated $60 million estate since 2008. “She’s trying to stay positive,” says a source. “She still wants Jamie removed and believes it will happen…

Last Time My Pet Made Me Laugh I just had Tony Hawk on my podcast [Good for You], and my dog Mona sat in his chair after the interview. She was licking it and wouldn’t get off. I was like, “Okay, she’s a big Tony Hawk fan.” Last Thing I Discovered About Myself That I sometimes have terrible breath. Thank you, masks. I cannot believe I was just walking around with coffee breath all the time. I am so sorry. Last Time I Stayed up Too Late I was in Vegas, doing a thing for the Magic Mike show, and I stayed up all night on Etsy panic-buying vintage shirts with horses on them to wear. The options in Vegas were not great; it was a lot of airbrush.…

I’m new to the Bellport community [on Long Island, N.Y.], and I love that the Boys & Girls Club of Bellport provides a safe space for kids to come and hang out before and after school. It’s so critical for them to have a place where they can have fun and be educated.

I’m proud to be raising money for them and thrilled to host their annual Beach Ball. It will be held on the lawn at my home [with husband James Rothschild] in Brookhaven on Aug. 28, and we’re expecting more than…

RUNNING HIS OWN WAY Hunter Woodhall, 22 400m/100m | Track & Field When he was little, Woodhall wanted to try every sport he could, despite the fact that a birth defect led to the amputation of his legs when he was 11 months old. But when he played basketball or football with nondisabled kids, “I’d sit on the bench a lot.” In seventh grade he discovered running: “I fell in love because I was in control. It’s you against the clock.” At his first Paralympics in 2016, the sprinter won silver and bronze. As he goes for gold this year, he’ll be cheered on by his girlfriend Tara Davis, an Olympic long jumper who just returned from Tokyo—and his 2.7 million followers on TikTok, where he posts funny, forthright glimpses…

Last year, as young people across the country struggled to adapt to remote learning and socially distanced classrooms, Joyce Mucher revisited an idea that had stuck with her throughout her 34-year career. “Kindergarten means ‘children’s garden,’” says the 58-year-old teacher at Penryn Elementary School in California. “I had this vision of being outside. [The pandemic] became an opportunity to try something new.” Mucher’s concept: a “forest school” to make in-person instruction safer and less scary for her young students. “Thinking about these kindergarteners sitting in front of computers was a gut punch,” she says. Initially Mucher was nervous about bringing her plan up for discussion (“Change is hard, not only from the administration but the parents too,” she says) but to her surprise, her pitch was fully embraced by…

Q | Is there an easy way to make a topknot look chic? —NATALIA in Arizona A | It’s all about placement—and controlling flyaways, says Garcelle Beauvais’s hairstylist Robear Landeros. Apply a small amount of strong-hold wax on the hair, then pull it into a high ponytail. Next, use a small brush to smooth out bumps. To give your topknot an elevated look, loosely braid the ponytail, then twist it up tightly and secure it with bobby pins. “This gives the look more dimension,” Landeros says. Spritz with hairspray to seal the style. Q | How can I get rid of dark spots on my skin? —RUTH in Wisconsin A | Try adding vitamin C to your routine. “The antioxidant reduces discoloration and brightens the complexion,” says Atlanta dermatologist Dr.…
