On Nov. 20 Liam Payne’s family and friends—including his former One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan—came together for his funeral service, held at St. Mary’s Church in Amersham, England. Until Payne’s funeral Malik had not been seen publicly with all the other members of One Direction since he left the group in 2015. Along with Payne’s former bandmates, the late singer’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy attended the funeral, as did his ex, Girls Aloud alum Cheryl Cole, the mother of his 7-year-old son Bear. Payne’s friend James Corden and former The X Factor judge Simon Cowell, who helped create One Direction, also paid their respects. ‘THE YEARS WE SPENT TOGETHER WILL FOREVER REMAIN AMONG THE MOST CHERISHED’—HARRY STYLES, in an Oct. 17 Instagram tribute…

To hear him tell it, Ted Danson has found “heaven on earth” in nearly every aspect of his life. “People think there’s a shelf life to creativity and contributing to life. There isn’t,” he says. That’s why the actor, 76, has found so much joy in his newest role, as a widower and retired professor who becomes an undercover spy at a retirement home in Netflix’s A Man on the Inside. Between his acting career, a new podcast and his favorite roles, as husband, father and grandfather (he married actress Mary Steenburgen, 71, in 1995, and they have four kids and four grandkids between them), Danson is looking forward to a busy future. “Life doesn’t end until it ends, so keep going,” he insists. “The way you engage life is…

After more than a decade in the spotlight, Sofia Carson knows the power of staying true to herself, whether she’s in front of the camera or on the red carpet. “For a long time it wasn’t cool to lean toward elegant and timeless, and I was always asked to be sexier or be cooler, whatever that meant,” she says. “And [my glam team and I] never did, because it just wasn’t me.” Decked out in holiday-party-ready looks at her People shoot, the 31-year-old actress, singer and dancer says she’s become “more and more clear” when it comes to her personal style, which has long been inspired by Audrey Hepburn (and, more recently, Angelina Jolie’s minimalist-chic wardrobe). And while her style continues to evolve, one thing remains the same: The girl…

‘ELLEN WAS IN ENGLAND HOUSE HUNTING IN THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. SHE ENDED UP FINDING A HOUSE SHE LOVED’—A SOURCE Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are saying farewell to the U.S. and ’ello to the U.K. A source tells People that the former talk show host, 66, and the retired actress, 51, have recently relocated to the English countryside. “Ellen was in England house hunting in the beginning of October,” says the source. “She ended up finding a house that she loved and purchased it shortly after.” The pair, who began dating in 2004 and married four years later, have already taken to local life. In mid-November, the source says, they were seen hanging out at the Farmer’s Dog, a quaint pub in the celeb-loved Cotswolds region owned by…

Are you one of the millions of kids who fell in love with the stage show? My mom surprised me with tickets when I was 11 or 12. I had never seen a character in a wheelchair on a stage. That was really cool. How did you train for your dance scenes? The choreographers and a talented wheelchair dancer, Hannah Raynor, were incredible. I learned a lot! Dancing is a skill I hope to keep. Ariana Grande, who’s Glinda, gave tarot-card readings on-set. Did you get one? I did. It was very vague, but it wasn’t anything bad.…

Miley Cyrus has long lived her life out loud, but for the past three years she’s mostly kept her relationship with boyfriend Maxx Morando out of the spotlight—a move that certainly seems to be working for her. Sources say she and her musician beau are happier than ever. Cyrus, 32, publicly declared her admiration for Morando, 26, at the 2024 Grammy Awards last February, referring to him as “my love” as she accepted Record of the Year for her hit “Flowers.” Nearly a year later, an insider says the singer is “super happy and grounded” in her relationship with Morando, a producer who drums for the band Liily. “It’s a healthy, good relationship,” the source says. “They stay in a lot and are very low-key. They’ll sometimes go out for…

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams had a big night out together at the L.A. premiere of his new film Gladiator II on Nov. 18. While the actor, 28, and the singer, 25, did not walk the red carpet together, they appeared very affectionate at the premiere’s afterparty. “They looked happy together,” says an onlooker. “Occasionally Paul would get swallowed up in the party, but they always found their way back to each other, with lots of laughing and smiling.” Mescal and Abrams (the daughter of director J.J. Abrams) were first romantically linked in June, when they were photographed having a meal in London. Mescal later attended Abrams’s concert at Radio City Music Hall in N.Y.C. on Oct. 5, and a source said at the time they were “going strong.” IandCtalc.com…

John Ramsey gently picks up a tiny pair of black-and-white cowboy boots from a shelf in his home. Embellished with cutouts of steer heads and cacti, the shoes were worn three decades ago by his daughter JonBenét as she sang “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart” in a beauty pageant. Ramsey smiles. “She loved to perform,” he recalls in a new docuseries. It’s taken a long time for Ramsey to embrace the sweetness of a memory without dwelling on the cruelty of his daughter’s death. “The pain was so intense,” Ramsey tells People. “Time doesn’t erase it. You don’t get over it. You get beyond it. But if I didn’t have that pain, I wouldn’t have had the joy of the time with my daughter. I was blessed to…

Growing up on a turkey farm in the Irish countryside, Sharon Horgan had her sights set on winning an Oscar. “I remember my mum being like, ‘Yeah, maybe don’t aim that high,’” the writer, actress and producer says of her “incredibly pretentious” youth. “I think, after a certain point, you get embarrassed by your big dreams. I suppose the whole thing seems a bit of a dream.” With half a dozen TV shows now under her belt—including BAFTA-winning Catastrophe, which she created and starred in alongside Rob Delaney, and Emmy-nominated Bad Sisters, now in its second season on Apple TV+—the dreams that once felt “fanciful” are well within reach. But getting to this point hasn’t been without sacrifice. “You’re not around as much as you want to be,” Horgan, 54,…

Auli‘i Cravalho is juggling a blockbuster sequel, producing her first film and making her Broadway debut all at the same time. “I’ve never been so happy. I’ve never been so exhausted,” says the 24-year-old actress, who rose to fame voicing the headstrong Disney princess Moana. The only thing that dims her megawatt smile? The prospect of the Hawaii native’s first New York City winter. “My heart is so full. I’m in the right place. But,” she adds wryly, “check in with me in, like, three weeks, and see if I’m frozen.” Cravalho jokes she’s currently “living like a monk” in a New York apartment with her partner (whose name she has kept private), best friend and cat Rocco as she performs eight shows a week as Sally Bowles in Cabaret…

Last Time I Cried Two days ago I woke up and was lying next to Jenny [McCarthy, his wife] and talking about my journey. I was just feeling incredibly grateful and started crying. She gave me the biggest hug. It was a sweet moment. Last Things I Took From a Set My blue suit and my dress blues from Blue Bloods. I put them on mannequins in a Wahlburgers. Last Moment of Nostalgia When I finish touring with New Kids on the Block, I start missing the fans and trying to come up with what we’re doing next. It never gets old. Last Time I Faced a Fear I’m a nervous flier. If the weather is less than perfect, I won’t book it. My mother told me the best…

KERRY’S FESTIVE HAIR & MAKEUP Have a special event coming up? Go all out with dramatic winged liner and a slicked-back updo like Kerry Washington’s at the Academy Museum Gala. The Unprisoned actress’s makeup artist Carola Gonzalez applied a satin-finish foundation to make her skin look flawless, plus a tawny-brown blush to add warmth to her complexion, and created a “modern, playful” cat-eye effect using liquid eyeliner. Hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew achieved what she calls an “expensive” vibe using hair extensions to add length to this twisted style along with a strong-hold hairspray to secure every strand in place and a serum for an extra-glossy finish. MAKEUP HAIR COOL TOOLS Any makeup pro will tell you that prepping your skin with products and tools is the secret to gorgeous glam. Gua…

HOLIDAY STYLE & BEAUTY SPECIAL A Little Holiday Kickstart Right about this time of year, I start to panic. Despite looking ahead to all the best year-end movies and TV shows, I realize that I’ve neglected anything holiday-related in my personal life—I haven’t planned any celebrations with friends, decorated the house or thought of gifts for loved ones. Needless to say, when our beauty and style team, led by Andrea Lavinthal, came up with the idea for a People StyleWatch special section, filled with inspiration for the season, I loved the idea. (It’s also an homage to our heritage: We published People StyleWatch as its own independent magazine from 2002 to 2017.) Sofia Carson, at just 31, already has the holiday thing down. In addition to filling up your Netflix…
