‘I do have them in body-fat content’—CHRIS PRATT, on how he stacks up as the “best Chris” against Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, on Instagram ‘I’ve never wanted anything in my life more than I wanted to be in that movie’—OPRAH WINFREY, remembering The Color Purple on its 35th anniversary, on Instagram ‘I stand outside the door, and I go, “Oh hey, hi, Santa!” … And I say, “What are you doing here, Santa?” and he says, “Oh, I’m just making sure that the kids are being good kids.” And I say, “They are, Santa.” And you can hear them going, “We are, Santa!”’—GEORGE CLOONEY, on faking a visit from Santa to keep his 3-year-old twins behaving, on The Tonight Show with Stephen Colbert ‘I have been standing here…

Ariana Grande sang about buying matching diamonds for six of her girlfriends in her hit “7 Rings.” Now she has another rock to write about—because she’s engaged! On Dec. 20 the pop star revealed on Instagram that her real estate agent beau, Dalton Gomez, had popped the question. “forever n then some,” she captioned a series of pictures, including one of a unique pearl-and-diamond ring. “They couldn’t be happier, they’re just so excited,” a source says of the proposal. “Both sets of parents are thrilled.” Grande, 27, and Gomez, 25, began dating in January 2020. As they spent time together at her home in New York City in March, when the coronavirus crisis hit the U.S., “she realized he is very special,” says an insider. When Gomez returned to…

The 45-year-old Stranger Things star—an ambassador for the global humanitarian organization War Child, which recently held its virtual Rise Together gala—opens up about getting married to singer Lily Allen four months ago and becoming stepdad to her daughters. How’s newlywed life treating you? It’s great! It’s like it just amplifies everything. Making that kind of a commitment, which I haven’t for most of my life, was a huge thing for me. And it just makes you feel a little bit more like a man, to be honest—I just feel a little bit more like an adult. I married a beautiful, incredible woman who I love. Along with the package she comes also with two beautiful daughters [Ethel, 9, and Marnie, 8]. ‘THE MARRIAGE ADDS THIS FAMILY ASPECT TOO. IT’S BEEN…

The singer, 27—who celebrated the holiday season at Wizarding World’s Deck the Great Hall event—talks about life with fiancée Maya Henry and Bear, 3, his son with ex-girlfriend singer Cheryl. Tell me about life as a dad. It’s fantastic watching him grow into the person he’s become. He’s a really lovely boy, and I feel like he’s in the middle of settling into himself. He looks exactly like me, which is very strange. Did Bear inherit your musical talents? He has shown some singing ability. I am frightened about the idea of him entering the world that I’m in—it was a lot so young—but I will never stop him from doing something that he wants to do. He has way more attitude than me. He was wearing a cape the…

My first trip with the International Medical Corps took place 11 years ago when I went to the Congo. Seeing the difference an organization like this makes is pretty life-affirming. They provide health care for displaced people all around the world. Whether it’s a natural disaster or a famine, they are one of the first on the ground. What really separates them from other organizations is that they go in and then train locals to take over the programs. We were in South Sudan just before the pandemic hit and met a woman named Grace, who is a midwife and has a school where she trains other midwives. We made a documentary called War & Grace about the work she’s doing. As a mother who had a pretty traumatic…

Still in hiding as a couple during the weeks leading up to the Bachelorette finale, Tayshia Adams and her fiancé, Zac Clark, managed to make the most of every romantic moment they could find. “Zac downloaded Pinterest to figure out date ideas,” says Tayshia, 30. “He did a 10-step scavenger hunt, and I found little gifts all around the house. It was better than a Bachelor date!” Now as the happy couple make plans for their future, they reflect on the surprising journey that brought them to each other. “If you had told me back in March that I’d get engaged this year, I wouldn’t have believed you,” says Tayshia, an Orange County, Calif.-based former phlebotomist who took over as the Bachelorette after Clare Crawley’s abrupt departure (see sidebar). “But…

For Kirby Banks, the emails are heartbreaking and painful to read. As a cofounder of Voices of Acadiana, an advocacy group for domestic abuse victims, Banks has been helping women get information and find safety since 2019. But in March she saw the calls and messages spike—and they haven’t let up. Some are from wives desperate to find room in a shelter, where they can escape their abusive husbands. Others are from women anxious to get a protective order against a violent spouse and worried about how the pandemic is causing backlogs at local family courts. For Banks, each one stirs up painful memories. “Their words bring it all back to me, especially the sense of desperation and isolation,” says Banks, a 34-year-old mother of three from Lafayette, La.,…

The pair got engaged in January 2020.…

Long open about his issues with addiction, comedian John Mulaney relapsed and has checked into a rehabilitation facility. The former Saturday Night Live writer turned stand-up star, 38, has talked about his past struggles, admitting he started drinking at age 13 and did cocaine and took prescription drugs while growing up. “I wasn’t a good athlete, so maybe it was some young male thing of ‘This is the physical feat I can do,’” he told Esquire in 2019. “‘Three Vicodin and a tequila and I’m still standing. Who’s the athlete now?’” He got sober for the first time at 23 without professional help. “I thought to myself, ‘I don’t like this guy anymore,’” Mulaney said. ‘I DRANK FOR ATTENTION. I WAS REALLY OUTGOING, AND THEN AT 12, I WASN’T. ……

Alpacas Add Fluff and Fun to Special Events VIENNA, VA. From baptisms to birthdays, every occasion is a lot more fun when you add a pair of adorable baby alpacas—named Pisco and Chewy (aka Chewpacca the Alpaca). That’s what owner Andrea Diaz, 25, discovered this past April when, on a whim—after being furloughed from her bartending job—she offered on Facebook to bring her year-and-a-half old pets to nearby residents for a socially distanced outdoor visit. The response was overwhelming, and in July she launched My Pet Alpaca (mypetalpaca.com). “I thought I was the only one that liked alpacas,” says Diaz, who charges $60 an hour for the fuzzy meet and greets. “But it’s like bringing my puppies everywhere. When kids get to hang around the animals, it relieves the…

‘I Want to Be the Best Version of Myself’ I was very athletic growing up, and during my junior year of high school I tore my ACL, MCL and meniscus playing basketball. I stopped being active, and in college I gained around 180 lbs. in one year. My back hurt all the time, I had PCOS, and I was close to becoming diabetic. I love to ride horses—I’ve done it my entire life—and I couldn’t anymore. Meanwhile, my grandma had lost 75 lbs. with Optavia, and my mom dropped 80 lbs.—and in January 2018 I finally gave in and said, “Okay, I’m ready, let’s do it.” I’d been a binge eater and had to learn proper nutrition. Now I swap regular pizza for ones with cauliflower crust or have my…

Carey Mulligan’s quarantine win—learning to do a proper yoga headstand—is as good a tactic as any for surviving 2020. “I can go upside down for a minute and somehow I do feel a bit better afterward,” says the British actress, 35. “The main thing I’m doing is trying to keep moving. And entertain the children.” Life in lockdown with two little kids has inevitably been a little topsy-turvy. Acclaimed for her roles in prestigious movie dramas like The Great Gatsby and Inside Llewyn Davis, Mulligan married Mumford & Sons musician Marcus Mumford, 33, in 2012, and the two have been holed up on their farm in Devon, England, with daughter Evelyn Grace, 5, and son Wilfred, 3. Now she’s stepping into the spotlight again with the boldest role of her…

It all began in a movie theater in Tehran. There, says photographer Firooz Zahedi, he could escape the civil unrest roiling his homeland when he was a child in the 1950s. “The movies made life bearable for me and enabled me to go to another place in my head, where everyone was beautiful and everything ended happily,” he recalls. “That was the place I went to find imaginary friends.” Little did he know that, in a turn of events worthy of a Hollywood screenplay, he would end up professionally photographing—and befriending—many of the screen icons he had loved from afar. Zahedi left Iran in 1959, moving first to London and then, a decade later, to Washington, D.C., to study at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service (and take art…

Last Time I Was Impressed Last weekend my oldest son, Miles [age 15], took the trash out without being asked. He just noticed that it was full—I didn’t even have to remind him! Last Time I Missed Someone I lost my great-aunt, who was 99, due to COVID about a month ago, and I just kept thinking about the last time I saw her, in Brooklyn. Every time you leave a family member at that age, you know it might be the last time. It was a beautiful visit. Last Moment of Gratitude I was grateful for my ex-husband’s [Michael Stone] cooking during Thanksgiving. I worked pretty much 14 hours every day leading up to the holiday, and he did all the cooking. His vegan roast was really amazing.…

Meredith Wille knew the minute she saw the 60-lb. adoptable puggle (a pug and beagle mix) named Bertha on Facebook, back in November 2019, that she had to do something. “It was just this horrifying picture of this ridiculously fat puggle,” says Wille, 49, a licensed veterinary technician and certified canine fitness trainer and rehabilitation practitioner. “I thought ‘How can I not help this poor dog?’” She contacted the Stark County Humane Society in Louisville, Ohio, about fostering Bertha, offered to cover her rehab cost and—a week later—brought the senior pup home to Pittsburgh. “She was like Jabba the Hutt,” says Wille. “She’d take three steps and have to lay down.” Wille wasted no time launching Bertha’s weight-loss regimen with a healthy diet of high-protein, low-fat food and low-cal treats,…

Ayesha Curry The cookbook author, mom of three and wife of NBA star Steph Curry lost 35 lbs. this year—and added some healthy changes. Her dinners now consist of a protein and a side of vegetables. “We love brussels sprouts, asparagus and broccoli,” said Curry, 31, recently. “I like to roast them on high heat to give everything a nice char.” She also enjoys bike riding with her family, online workouts and resistance training with light weights: “I don’t need much equipment-wise.” Rebel Wilson Last January the Pitch Perfect star declared 2020 her “Year of Health”—and switched to a high-protein diet after “eating 3,000 calories most days” of mainly carbs. In November Wilson, 40, hit her goal of 165 lbs. (losing 40 lbs.) and returned to Austria’s Vivamayr wellness resort…

Growing up, Sarah Turney idolized her older sister Alissa. Their mother, Barbara Strahm, died after battling lung cancer when Sarah was 4 and Alissa 8, and the siblings bonded through the pain and loss. “There was no one cooler than Alissa,” Sarah, now 31, says. “Everything she wore, all the music she listened to, all of her friends. She was so sweet and caring.” Their father, Michael, was actually Alissa’s stepfather, but since she had no contact with her biological dad, they became a blended family of three. Suddenly a single dad, the former sheriff’s deputy and electrician often relied on Alissa at home to do laundry and dishes and cook for the family. When the chores were done, she’d snuggle into her favorite Blue’s Clues blanket and listen to…

Growing up, Craig Robinson had no idea that comedy would be his calling. His mom, a music teacher, and his dad, a lawyer, always assumed he would have a career in music. “We were learning music in the womb,” says Robinson, 49, of himself and his two siblings, who grew up on the South Side of Chicago. “My mom was first-chair cello in college and is the minister of music at our church to this day. My father plays and sings too. You didn’t come from the Robinson household and not take piano lessons!” In fact, for a while he did have a career in music: After he got a master’s in education, he spent several years as an elementary school music teacher in Indiana and Chicago. But he’d fallen…
