All Kinds of People When I was a kid, growing up in a small town in Texas, People gave me access to the rest of the world. It showed that dreams are possible and opened my eyes to the amazing variety of life beyond my borders. That's because for 42 years People has been telling stories about—in the words of founding editor Dick Stolley—ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and extraordinary people doing ordinary things. It's a simple but genius formula that I hope never changes—even though, heaven knows, everything else on the media landscape seems to change every day. We're now telling those stories in all kinds of ways: People remains the world's most popular magazine, but our massive site with 24/7 breaking news brings our total audience to 80…

ALL THE NEWS & BUZZ FROM HOLLYWOOD BETHENNY FRANKEL FINDING HAPPINESS AFTER A HEALTH SCARE BACK IN 2013 WHEN SHE WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED with uterine fibroids, Bethenny Frankel did something highly uncharacteristic: She told almost no one. Used to living life out loud, Frankel chose to deal with the condition quietly and kept it hidden from the cameras chronicling her return to The Real Housewives of New York City. But all that went out the window when, in the midst of filming the current season of the hit Bravo reality show, she landed in the emergency room because of escalating pain and out-of-control bleeding. "I'd lost 10 percent of my blood, my uterus had doubled in size, and my fibroids were larger than before," says Frankel, 45. "I was scared."…

With their arms wrapped around each other as they shared kisses, snapped selfies and frolicked on the beach June 13 near her Rhode Island home, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston looked more like besotted young lovers from a Nicholas Sparks movie than two major stars on the verge of making headlines with their surprising new romance. "Stop all the clocks! Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift! What even!?" tweeted one shocked fan after photos of the budding couple, quickly dubbed #HiddleSwift on social media, were revealed to the Internet a day later. Also surprised by the pairing? Calvin Harris, the Scottish deejay and producer whom Swift amicably split from just weeks ago. "He did not know Taylor and Tom were together," a source says of Harris, 32, who quickly deleted all…

The summer of 2009—with his splashy This Is It concert series already selling out—was supposed to be Michael Jackson's big comeback. Years of bizarre behavior, plastic surgeries and pedophilia accusations (despite a not-guilty verdict in his 2005 child-molestation trial) had drowned out the music and left the '80s pop phenom a fallen star, but he still had high hopes. "He was one of the greatest entertainers of all time," says Matt Richards, coauthor, with Mark Langthorne, of the new book 83 Minutes, excerpted below. Yet Jackson "was in no state to perform the This Is It tour," Richards says. "The entourage of 'yes' people created an arena of unreality [around him]." Chief among them—providing the drugs the star's addictions demanded—was Jackson's personal physician Conrad Murray, who was convicted in 2011…

The actress, 28, faces off with a shark in The Shallows, out June 24, and costars in Woody Allen's Café Society, out July 15. Has your relationship with the sea changed after filming The Shallows? My relationship with the sea actually changed in 2011, when I went diving with great white sharks, and with conservationists. I got to see sharks in their natural habitat, not as the hunters or villains as we portray them in movies but as these incredible creatures that they are. Do you like horror movies? I don't like to be scared. I enjoy watching them, but I like the types where you don't see much and it's really the psychological aspect of it that's scariest. Did your husband, Ryan Reynolds, help you prep? He helped me…

When Ginger Zee stepped off the ballroom floor after the Dancing with the Stars finale in May, she couldn't wait to see how her third-place finish had impacted her body. "I hadn't weighed myself all season, but I knew my clothes fit better. I thought I'd be 20 lbs. lighter," says the Good Morning America meteorologist, 35, who welcomed son Adrian Benjamin with husband Ben Aaron in December. "But I only weighed 2 lbs. less. That was it! I was actually happy though. It made me feel better that all those years when I thought, 'If I just work out more, I'll lose weight,' I was wrong. Apparently I'm just supposed to be 138 lbs., and that's good." Having battled anorexia as a young teen, she may once have been…

Two weeks ago Anton Yelchin was wrapping his latest indie film, Thoroughbred, outside Boston. As the cast and crew gathered to celebrate, the 27-year-old actor, best known as eager young engineer Chekov in the rebooted Star Trek franchise, volunteered to drive people home afterward "to be sure they got back safely," recalls director Cory Finley. "It was the kind of little selfless moment that endeared him so much to me and to everyone." Sadly, the rising star's life was cut short by a tragic accident. On June 19 his body was found pinned between his car and a security fence and the mailbox pillar at his home in L.A. after the vehicle rolled backward down the steep driveway. The L.A. county medical examiner's office reportedly ruled the death accidental and…

With the millennium's biggest pop singer for an older sister and her own hit Nickelodeon series, Jamie Lynn Spears had an exceptional—and unconventional—childhood. Not that it felt that way. "To me it was normal," says Spears. In 2007, after her show Zoey 101 had wrapped, film projects were in the air, and she was happily dating her "first love," Casey Aldridge. But then, at 16, she took a pregnancy test at a BP gas station, and it came back positive. "It was scary," recalls Spears, now 25, who will tell her story in the documentary Jamie Lynn Spears: When the Lights Go Out, airing June 26 at 10/9c on TLC. "But you gotta take responsibility for your actions." On the heels of her baby news, Spears—whom her big sister Britney…
