New Couple! Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker After years of friendship, the reality star, 41, and the Blink-182 drummer, 45, are now an item. “They’ve been dating for about a month or two,” a source says of the pair, who recently vacationed together in Palm Springs, Calif. “He’s liked her for a long time, and she just got more open to the idea.

It’s been a decade since Taken turned you into an action hero. Have you adjusted yet? It’s a bit silly, isn’t it? I’m 69 in June. But look, I like doing it. I get to hang out with wonderful stuntmen. What do your sons Micheal, 25, and Daniel, 24, think of your tough-guy roles? They won’t go into reams of criticism. But they’re very much behind me. I haven’t caught them laughing. How about trying a comedy? Well, I’ve been approached to maybe resurrect the Naked Gun films. A script is being written.…

HOUSE STATS Location: Los Angeles Size: 9,200 sq. ft. Bedrooms: 6 Bathrooms: 9 Purchase Date: 2020 Shemar Moore was already taken with the sleek, 9,200-sq.-ft. Sherman Oaks, Calif., home he’d toured several times last February, but he needed a special woman’s approval before he made a final decision. “I brought my mom [Marilyn] to the house,” recalls the S.W.A.T. star, 50. “She stood in the backyard and said, ‘Boo, this is my son’s home.’ That night, as I was signing the offer, she told me, ‘I’m proud of you. And I hope this gives you a good life.’” Tragically, less than a week later, Marilyn, who suffered from multiple sclerosis, died suddenly, leaving Moore bereft. “It’s been a rough year,” he says. “But my mother is always in my heart. And her essence is in…

With her powerful vocals and inimitable style, Lady Gaga stole the show on Jan. 20 when she delivered a high-spirited performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration in Washington, D.C. As she took center stage, one man quietly cheered her on from the wings: Michael Polansky, her tech investor boyfriend of one year. “He was content to hang in the background and blended in,” says an attendee. “To the few people she encountered backstage inside the Capitol, she’d say, ‘This is my boyfriend.’” Afterward the couple exchanged a sweet kiss—with masks on!—before watching Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris get sworn in. “Gaga had a blast at the Inauguration and was in the best spirits,” says a source close to the singer, 34. “She’s very happy…

I hadn’t really been part of anything like that before. It’s up to the audience and the viewer as to which route it goes down. It’s a really compelling, inclusive storytelling.

This Bulldog Just Loves to Make Waves SAN DIEGO When John Garcia saw that the shelter near his home was hosting doggy surfing lessons, he knew he had to let his ocean-loving bulldog Rothstein “give it a try.” The 50-lb. pooch, who always wears a life jacket in the water, “really took to it, and it just went from there,” says Garcia, 40, who’s been surfing with his pup since the summer of 2018. Now the 3-year-old dog spends up to five days a week riding the waves. Garcia pushes him out on a soft-top board, lines him up on a wave, then lets Rothstein do the rest—balancing himself on the board using his paws and shifting his weight to guide himself (solo) back to shore. His surfing skills have…

Queen Elizabeth has witnessed countless historic firsts during her nearly 95 years, from the first men on the moon to the first royal great-grandchild to grow up in America. But the monarch who is most comfortable as a stoic observer is rarely an active participant, as she was in early January when she and her 99-year-old husband, Prince Philip, were among the first in the U.K. to receive the new COVID-19 “jab,” as the Brits call the vaccination. Although some wondered if she would wait to learn whether the vaccine caused any adverse reactions in the wider public, those close to her say she never hesitated in her desire to help others feel less afraid. She and Philip, who were administered the vaccine at their Windsor Castle home, “were on…

Just one year ago, while sitting in his Beverly Hills home, Larry King was the picture of paternal pride. “My son Chance lives with me, and I love having him here,” said the legendary broadcaster, beaming at the then 20-year-old. “I’m an older parent, but nothing beats parenthood, no matter what age. Out of anything I’ve accomplished, that means the most.” Sadly, King, whose health had been failing in recent years as he simultaneously navigated a painful divorce and the sudden deaths in 2020 of an older son and daughter, died on Jan. 23, a month after he was hospitalized with COVID-19. He was 87. “We are heartbroken,” read a statement from King’s surviving children, sons Larry King Jr., 59, Chance and Cannon, 20. “The world knew Larry King as…

Staying cooped up at home is no way to celebrate a 96th birthday. Therefore, on the evening of Dec. 19 last year, Cicely Tyson and a few close pals within her quarantine bubble gathered at one of their New York City homes, chatting and nibbling on sushi from Nobu until 3:30 in the morning. “Those are not friends—otherwise they would have had the sense to know I should have been in bed hours before,” Tyson says with a laugh. Then again, the acting legend—who has a new memoir, Just As I Am—has always done things her own way. Growing up in Manhattan, she would wait on Saturdays for her West Indian immigrant parents to leave for their jobs selling produce before heading out to explore the city alone—starting at the…

“This past year forced me to recognize how important it is to show up for yourself.” I’ve Never Been More Exhausted… It’s because there’s no beginning and ending of anything—work is never-ending, mom life is never-ending, how many times we’ve organized is never-ending. It’s like we’re on hamster wheels! I Set up an Office in My Closet… It’s the only place where I can’t hear the kids [daughters Honor, 12, Haven, 9, and Hayes, 3] yelling or asking me for things.

Every day I wake up, I know it’s a blessing to be here. Then it’s, “Okay,…

One of my first memories is from when I was 6 years old, wearing a red-white-and-blue T-shirt and shorts, holding a small plastic Union Jack flag on a stick and waving it enthusiastically at the village green to celebrate Princess Diana and Prince Charles’s wedding. The excitement radiated throughout the small corner of England where I grew up; it was like this event sprinkled magic on our everyday lives. Later we rushed home and crowded around the television set to watch the majesty and romance of the occasion. The allure of the royals is just as powerful 40 years later. Kate and William and Meghan and Harry bring glamour and excitement to many around the world. The family has had its ups and downs—and the institution itself has been criticized…

JoJo Siwa is opening up about her sexuality. On Jan. 22 the Dance Moms alum turned YouTube superstar—who has more than 42 million social media followers—tweeted a photo wearing a shirt that read “Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.” The next day Siwa, 17, chatted with fans on Instagram Live, confirming she’s part of the LGBTQ community. When asked which “label” she prefers, the Omaha native said, “I don’t really know this answer… I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, that’s what matters.” The actress and singer—who alluded to coming out when she lip-synced Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” in a Jan. 21 TikTok—has gotten support from stars including Ellen DeGeneres and Lil Nas X. Her parents, Jessalynn and Tom, are just as encouraging. “My mom said she’s known… around two years…

When Chiwetel Ejiofor was 11, a tragedy shook his life. On a family trip from the U.K. to his parents’ native Nigeria for a wedding, his father, Arinze, was killed in a car accident, which Ejiofor, who was also in the car, survived. Two years later Ejiofor was introduced to Shakespeare in English class—and discovered a way to get in touch with his emotions. “I wasn’t very expressive, but as we were going through Henry IV, suddenly I connected with it,” says the actor, 43. “I’d never found a way of communicating things that I felt, but [performing Shakespeare] set off something, and I was able to express the emotion and the reality of [the words].” That led to roles in school plays and eventually a spot at drama school.…

Last Time I Danced Oh, this morning. I was on my own, in the living room, and waiting for the tea kettle to boil. No music, just in my head. As they say, dance like nobody’s watching. Last Time I Stayed up Too Late I had to stay up and watch the events of Jan. 6 [at the Capitol]. It was such an insane day. I live at the beach, and usually I see the sunset and it’s “Goodnight, darling.” Last Thing I Took From a Set What did I take from Mr. Wednesday [his character in AG]? Oh, I took his amulet. I have an old sculpture of me that’s got [mementos] on it, from Blackbeard’s hat to the amulet. It’s got a mask on now too. Last…
