‘It can be hard to carve out a minute for yourself. … I am lucky to have champions around me, but I can definitely do it myself’—LAURA DERN, on life as a single parent, to Modern Luxury’s Boston Common ‘I want to thank Tyra Banks for teaching me how to model’—CHRIS PRATT, crediting the supermodel after posing for a People/Entertainment Weekly shoot at the D23 Expo, on Instagram ‘Harry and Meghan are entitled to go on vacation. … I just think people think that they are easy targets’—GAYLE KING, defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after they were criticized for using a private plane, to Entertainment Tonight ‘Botox is no surprise!

After disappearing from the public eye following a self-described apocalyptic summer in 2016, Taylor Swift is now back in the spotlight—in full force, and taking no prisoners. The singer’s seventh studio album, Lover, is largely inspired by her relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, but Swift—who accepted the Video of the Year award at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 26—is remaining tight-lipped about their romance. Instead, the superstar is using the hubbub surrounding her new music to sound off on heavier topics, from sexism to politics to the #MeToo movement. “I’m better at standing up for myself when I’ve been wronged,” she recently told CBS Sunday Morning about coming into her own. “That’s something that also comes with growing up.” As Swift looks ahead to her 30th…

This Marsupial Isn’t Camera-shy—and Selfies Are Helping His Species ROTTNEST ISLAND, AUSTRALIA Tourists don’t have to work hard to score a photo op with Rottnest Island’s quokkas. The 12,000 mini-marsupials that thrive on the predator-free island love to approach visitors, and local officials welcome selfie-taking (just don’t touch or feed them!) as a way of raising awareness of the vulnerable species dubbed the “world’s happiest animal.” (Tourism on Rottnest was up 15 percent last year thanks in part to the furry photobombers, bringing in much-needed cash for preservation efforts.) “The quokkas are themselves very inquisitive, so they will look at the camera,” says Michelle Reynolds, the island’s executive director. “And I’ve seen them smiling.” Have a story that makes you smile?

They said she was too short, at 5'7½". They wanted her to get a nose job. And her gap-toothed smile? Early in her career she tried to fill it in with wax. But Lauren Hutton became one of the most successful models of the ’70s and ’80s just being herself. In 1973 she was the first to demand a cosmetics contract—earning $250,000 a year, worth more than $1.4 million today—from Revlon, a move that empowered models and transformed the industry. She lost that contract at 41, considered too old to sell makeup. But she began posing again for top fashion photographers and became a style muse to companies like J. Crew and designers including Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Now 75, the avid travel and motorcycling enthusiast, who divides…

One day after Liam Hemsworth, her husband of less than a year, filed for divorce on Aug. 21, Miley Cyrus memorably spoke her mind. In a series of tweets the singer, 26, denied cheating allegations surrounding the breakdown of her marriage. “You can say I am a twerking, pot smoking, foul mouthed hillbilly but I am not a liar,” she wrote. While listing her previous indiscretions—including infidelity “when I was young” and drug use—Cyrus insisted she didn’t cheat on Hemsworth, 29. “I can admit to a lot of things, but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating,” she wrote. “I love Liam and always will.” She said she “had to make a healthy decision for myself to leave a previous life behind,” adding, “I am the…

When Dancing with the Stars announced its new cast for season 28, one contestant sparked major backlash. Some fans were outraged after ABC revealed on Aug. 21 that Sean Spicer—the former press secretary for President Donald Trump—was in the lineup. Longtime DWTS host Tom Bergeron tweeted that he had hoped this season, premiering Sept. 16, would be “free of inevitably divisive booking from ANY political affiliations.” But “a decision was made to, as we often say in Hollywood, ‘go in a different direction,’” continued Bergeron, 64, saying that he and the producers “agree to disagree” over the decision. Spicer’s fellow contestant Karamo Brown, a star of Netflix’s Queer Eye as well as an LGBT activist and former star of The Real World: Philadelphia, faced criticism when he posted that…

The 35-year-old actress (22 Jump Street) stars as a woman who sets out to change her unhealthy lifestyle in Brittany Runs a Marathon, in theaters now You must have gotten in great shape! I started working out for the first time in my life. I lost 40 lbs.—29 before we started shooting and then 11 during shooting. How did you train? I found a Couch to 5K program on Pinterest that helps guide you when you’re starting from nothing. I did a lot of running on my own—a great way to memorize lines. So now you’re living the Brittany life? This project sort of shook me and made me look at how I treat myself. I love all self-care. Meditation, going for a run, therapy. I’m not great at…

Moments before he walked down the aisle, Bryan Abasolo was reminded of how he first met his bride, Rachel Lindsay, on The Bachelorette. “It took me back to those days on the show when I was waiting for a date,” says the 39-year-old chiropractor. “I was nervous leading up to the ceremony, but when I saw Rachel, I was at peace. This beautiful angel was walking toward me, and I thought, ‘Oh my God, that is my wife.’” The Miami-based couple, who got engaged on the show’s season finale in 2017, wed on Aug. 24 in an “island chic” rooftop wedding planned by Mikie Russo of Michael Russo Events at the Royalton Suites in Cancun, Mexico. “The ceremony was a blur,” admits Rachel, 34, who wore a custom two-piece gown…

Max Lugavere recalls the exact moment in 2009 when he realized it wasn’t normal aging that stiffened his 57-year-old mother Kathy’s movement and had her losing her thought mid-conversation. “We were in Miami one weekend,” Max recalls. “She couldn’t tell us what year it was, and she started to cry. It was like a record screeching to a halt, and I knew something was seriously wrong.” The oldest of Kathy’s three children, Max remained at her side through a frustrating circuit of medical appointments until, at the Cleveland Clinic in 2011, the once successful business entrepreneur—“a sharp-witted high performer,” as Max describes her—was diagnosed with the rare Lewy Body Dementia. “I was watching the person who I loved more than anything in the world start to decline,” says Max,…

Last Time I Danced In Spain with friends, and we were dancing to some of our favorite tunes and enjoying a sunset. I’ll always dance to “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones. That ages me a bit, but I love it. Last Recurring Dream I walk through long grass, and this tiger looks at me and lies down, and I would lie in a fetal position between its legs and breathe with it. The crazy thing is when my son [Flynn, 8] was born, his Chinese sign was a tiger. Last Thing I Took From a Set I have some shelves that are peppered with swords and bows and arrows and things. There were gold coins on-set in Pirates of the Caribbean, and I saw Johnny [Depp]…

It’s been a month of major milestones for Ben Affleck. On Aug. 15 he turned 47, and on Aug. 22 he celebrated one year of sobriety. “Ben is in a great place both in his recovery and life,” says a source close to the Oscar winner. Affleck, who has called addiction “a lifelong and difficult struggle,” entered rehab for 40 days starting last August, when his ex, Jennifer Garner, was seen driving him to a treatment center. “He is very open about how challenging it is for him and works on his sobriety daily,” says another insider. “Ben thinks of alcoholism as a disease—you shouldn’t be ashamed of a disease.” Things have also been going well for him on the home front. Single after an April split from Saturday Night…

Jolie told People earlier this year she’s “nothing but proud” of Maddox: “I look forward to all he will do.”…

In his new thriller The Fanatic, John Travolta plays Moose, a stalker who will stop at nothing to meet his favorite movie star even when things turn violent. Luckily, in real life, the actor, 65, says he’s had a much more pleasant experience in the public eye. “I’ve always appreciated what fame has given me,” he says. “You have a golden ticket all over the world. So what if you have to sign autographs and take pictures? For me, it’s not a big price to pay.” While he’s been acting for more than 40 years, the role that makes him happiest is being dad to daughter Ella Bleu, 19, and son Ben, 8, with his wife of 27 years, actress Kelly Preston, 56. Why did you want to play…

‘I like to shoot baskets and climb trees. Growing up I never got to do that’—MASON HICKS Mason Hicks, 17 CONROE, TEXAS As early as kindergarten Mason Hicks remembers overeating. “I would wake up and have four bowls of sugary cereal,” he says. By his sophomore year he was 6 ft. tall and 350 lbs. “I never felt good about myself,” he says. “I accepted I would be big my entire life.” A kind word from the right person changed his perspective. “I told my football coach that my knees were hurting, and he said it might be because of my weight,” Hicks says. He reduced his portions while experimenting with intermittent fasting (waiting 16 hours after dinner before his next meal), which he discovered through a Google search.…

Six years ago, Camille Guaty, who has starred on TV shows including Prison Break and Scorpion, and her songwriter husband, Sy Rhys Kaye, were ready to start a family. After five failed rounds of IVF, they began considering other options. Now, weeks away from welcoming a son after using a donor egg, the actress, 43, opens up about her difficult—and life-changing—path to motherhood. You never think this is going to be your story. Women come up to me and say, “If you’re 43 and pregnant, I have plenty of time!” I just want to say, “It didn’t happen the way you think it did!” When I was growing up, people often told me I looked so young—I never felt my age either—and my husband is four years younger than…
