‘40 feels to me like a certain kind of freedom. Freedom from all the self-doubt, insecurities, self-loathing, uncertainties and anxieties of my 20s and 30s’ —KATHERINE HEIGL, on turning 40, on Instagram ‘I have real reindeer that come to my house. Yes, darling, I don’t play around’—MARIAH CAREY, on her Christmas traditions, on SiriusXM’s Heart & Soul Channel ‘I feel like I need to go be seen with someone—like a girl—in public, to prove to people that I’m not gay. Even though in my heart I know that it’s not a bad thing’ —SHAWN MENDES, on speculation about his sexuality, to Rolling Stone ‘Our relationship probably lasted longer than it should have.

‘Dolly Parton Is a Treasure’ Alexandra Perez via people.com Dolly Parton I was so glad to see Dolly on this week’s cover. What a breath of fresh air!

New baby, new nest. With their first child due this spring, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are leaving the confines of Kensington Palace for a country home—Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate, about 25 miles west of London. The big move, which the couple’s office confirmed to People on Nov. 24, marks a further separation between the expectant parents and Prince William and Princess Kate. The two couples, who have been living as neighbors at Kensington Palace, are also planning to split their business offices in the coming months. Although the changes have sparked rumors of tensions, insiders point to a natural evolution of the brothers’ dynamic now that they are both married with their own families. While William, 36, as the heir to the throne, must maintain a…

Fans of MTV’s Real World recall Danny Roberts as the charismatic—and remarkably rational—gay man from the show’s 2000 New Orleans installment. At the time, Roberts became a poster child for the movement against the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that banned gays from serving openly in the military. (He was dating an officer, and MTV obscured the boyfriend’s face so he wouldn’t be discharged.) Now 41 and father to an adopted 2½-year-old girl, Roberts is making headlines again by revealing he was diagnosed with HIV ca. 2011. “My first reaction was shock. Then I was angry, then lots of denial,” he says. “Those early years were very difficult.” He’s sharing his story in hopes of clearing up falsehoods about living with HIV. “I spent so long battling and beating…

Now in her second season playing logistics coordinator Lisa Davis, the Michigan native, 38, says what drew her to the character was that “she was toe-to-toe with the men. Her opinion mattered—that was important to me.” Davis and crew tackle tough scenarios on sea, air and land, but there’s fun too. “When we have dance parties, it’s a mess on-set!”…

Ann Hood Kitchen Yarns ESSAYS Ann Hood is a gifted storyteller. So good, in fact, that she can even make a person reconsider her lifelong dread of ham-salad finger sandwiches. In this delightful compilation of essays and recipes, Hood waxes eloquent on her parents’ cooking, her own culinary education via The Silver Palate Cookbook and exactly what food means to her: family, comfort and deep connections to loves both lost and found.

Selecky’s vivid, smartly satirical tale will make…

Mandy Moore had an extra reason to be thankful this year. On Nov. 18 the This Is Us star, 34, wed Dawes rocker Taylor Goldsmith, 33, in a romantic sunset ceremony at their Pasadena home. “Mandy looked ecstatic and stunning,” says a source. “It was a beautiful day.” After the couple exchanged vows in front of 50 guests, friends—including Moore’s ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama and This Is Us cast members Chrissy Metz, Chris Sullivan and Susan Kelechi Watson—attended a reception at the Fig House, where they enjoyed performances by the bride, groom, Jackson Browne and others and danced well into the night. “I feel incredibly loved and supported by Taylor,” Moore told People last year of Goldsmith, whom she began dating in 2015 after they connected on Instagram. “I found…

Ronnie Spector sits in a booth in a suburban Connecticut steakhouse, demurely refusing a slice of cake. “I don’t want to ruin my lipstick,” she says from behind her sunglasses. Diners tuck in around her, unaware that they are in the presence of rock and roll royalty. If you bother to look up, there’s no mistaking the lead singer of the legendary girl group the Ronettes. The petite 75-year-old is barely 5 ft. tall, but more than a half century after her rise to fame, everything else about her remains big: big hair, big laugh and, above all, a majestically big voice. When a woman weathers all Spector has in the music business, she’s predictably described as a survivor. It’s an old song, but in her case it’s pitch…

PREVENT STICKING Before using honey or peanut butter, coat measuring cups and spoons with cooking spray. It’ll slip out easily and yield more accurate amounts. FIX BURNED BITS If you scorched the bottoms of your cookies, slide the burned bases back and forth over a hand grater to scrape off the blackened areas. KEEP THEM SOFT Store cooled cookies in an airtight container and add an apple wedge. The fruit’s moisture keeps the cookies chewy. When the apple dries up, swap it with another slice.…

Last Moment of Bliss Yesterday morning, driving my son [Yoby, 7] to school, he was singing this song in the back seat called “Extraordinary Magic” by Ben Rector. To hear him sing, “I see extraordinary magic in you,” I just teared up. It was pure bliss. Last Indulgence I just took a girls’ trip to New York City. We’re all working moms, so it feels indulgent to carve out two days. We had dinner at Nobu and shut the place down. Last Time My Son Made Me Laugh He’s all about trying to scare me. When I walk in, he’ll jump out from behind a door and say, “Boo!” I’m genuinely scared, and he dies laughing. And then I die laughing. Last Irrational Fear Spiders. And I have a…

SEPARATED Robert De Niro & Grace Hightower After more than 30 years together, the actor, 75, and his wife, 63, have separated and are living apart, a source confirms. “Sometimes things don’t work out the way you hope or want them to,” the source says of the pair, who wed in 1997 after dating for a decade.

Human trafficking is alive and well in America. I started learning about it while volunteering with human rights groups. One young woman was 19 when she was approached at the mall and asked to join a modeling agency. She was given a fake business card and interviewed at a restaurant. After she sensed the situation was off, she went to her car and a van was waiting there to kidnap her. She was trafficked for nine months throughout the U.S. I started the Foundation for a Slavery Free World in 2015 to help spread awareness. All donations are used for educational events, rescue missions and care packages for victims. I’ve been able to partner with law enforcement to go on undercover operations to lure pedophiles out of hiding. Volunteer…

We can’t help asking you about the year’s real-life royal wedding. Did you get caught up in Meghan Markle mania? I’d never even followed a royal wedding before, so this was perfectly timed—watching this young, modern woman shaking up an institution. I have a lot of respect for her. It’s no spoiler to say you get hitched this time—will fans be over the moon with your gown? It’s what everyone’s waiting to see. I was very proud of what the costume designer came up with. Are you sad iZombie is wrapping up on the CW? I’ll miss the people I work with so much, and I’ll miss playing Liv. I won’t miss the wig.…

For actress Keala Settle it had been an exhilarating—and exhausting—few months. Appearing as the bearded lady in the 2017 film The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, she’d been traveling abroad and performing nonstop to promote the hit movie-musical. Now she was on a studio stage in Burbank, rehearsing her performance of the film’s Oscar-nominated anthem, “This Is Me,” for the 2018 Academy Awards telecast—just a week away. “It was all good,” she recalls, “but I was completely run-down.” Minutes later whatever strength she had left gave way—as a sharp pain shot through her skull, and Settle collapsed on the floor. “I tried to put my hands up to my face, but I could only move my left arm,” she says. “I couldn’t talk, [and] I tried to stand, but…

The British singer, 28, has released her long-awaited second album, Phoenix, which is her first-ever U.S. release. It’s been six years since you released your first album. Why did you wait so long? ‘I’M A LITTLE BIT OLDER NOW AND STARTING TO REALLY GAIN MY CONFIDENCE AS AN OVERALL CREATIVE’ —RITA ORA During those years I was doing a lot of other things. I was designing clothes and on TV shows, and this year I’ve had the chance to solely focus on music and figure out how I want it to come out. The title really came from that feeling of having a new lease on life and being able to put out my record for the first time globally instead of [only in the U.K.]. How have…

She’s been a beauty icon for two decades, but at 46, Gwyneth Paltrow is the first to admit she doesn’t bounce back the way she used to. “When I fly, when I’m sick, if I’m dehydrated, if I have had too much alcohol the night before, I can really see it on my face in a way that I didn’t 20 years ago,” says the star. The Goop creator—who married producer Brad Falchuk, 47, in September—has focused some of her beauty line’s launches on products for aging skin, including her new edible collagen powder GoopGenes. “I put it in my smoothie,” she says of the supplement, which claims to improve skin texture. Paltrow, who has said she’s going through perimenopause, also plans to roll out products that combat everything…

AMAZON | The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel A Funny Lady Stands up for Herself ‘The sparkle in Rachel Brosnahan’s performance is genuine’ COMEDY Mrs. Maisel became 2017’s single biggest entertainment surprise when it launched late last year. Viewers hadn’t dreamed that an hour-long series about a 1950s housewife breaking into stand-up could be so fizzy, joyful and funny—sweet too, even though Midge is a disciple of Lenny Bruce and his radically impolite humor. Season 2 looks like it will continue along the same marvelous path. In the opening episodes Midge crosses the Atlantic to deal with her mother, who’s gone AWOL to find fulfillment in the nation that worships Jerry Lewis. While there, Midge gets to perform a set (in translation) at a Parisian nightclub specializing in drag. “You can’t…

A n avid outdoorsman, Jerry Michael “Mike” Williams never missed an opportunity to go duck hunting. So on the morning of Dec. 16, 2000—even though he was headed out of town for a weekend anniversary getaway with his wife, Denise, later that day—he packed up his gear and drove out to Florida’s Lake Seminole to spend a few hours on his boat. His friends expected him to come back with a couple of ducks and maybe some fun anecdotes. “He could tell a great story,” says his friend Kevin Harrison. “He always had these adventures. He had the best luck of any hunter I’ve ever seen.” But Mike didn’t return at all. And when his abandoned boat was found—but there was no sign of the 31-year-old father—many speculated that…

Although her identity was originally kept confidential by authorities, Nichol Kessinger, 30, worried about being publicly shamed as Chris Watts’s secret lover. Four days after Watts was arrested for the murders, Kessinger Googled questions about the mistress of another infamous killer, Scott Peterson—convicted of the December 2002 murder of his wife Laci and unborn son, Conner. On Aug. 19, according to police documents, she searched, “Did people hate Amber Frey?” Just like Frey, Kessinger contacted and cooperated with police. After Watts pleaded guilty, she spoke to The Denver Post and said that she “barely knew” Watts and found out his wife was pregnant when the news broke that she and their daughters were missing. “I don’t think there is a logical explanation for what he…
