‘I got a very stern message in my Instagram DMs, oddly enough, just going, “There really needs to be a cousin warning”’—REGÉ-JEAN PAGE, on giving family members a heads-up about his Bridgerton sex scenes, on The Graham Norton Show ‘I’m not cutting it until I can get out there and this COVID’s gone. … I hope I’m not tripping over it by the time it is’—MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY, on growing out his hair, on Jimmy Kimmel Live ‘The best part of being married later in life is you get great wisdom—you don’t have your learner’s permit anymore’—JAMES BROLIN, on meeting wife Barbra Streisand (inset) at 56, to Parade ‘When you run out of things to do, you give your children a bag of happy trash, and it’s like recyclables, and…

Morgan Wallen is facing a firestorm of controversy after being caught on video using the N-word. On Feb. 2 TMZ posted footage of the country star, 27, using the racial slur, among other profanities, as he arrived home after a night out in Nashville. The video—which was captured on a neighbor’s doorbell camera—quickly drew condemnation on social media and beyond. Radio stations and the CMT channel pulled Wallen’s music, including his hit new album Dangerous, from the air; his record label announced his indefinite suspension; and the Academy of Country Music said he’s no longer eligible to be nominated for this year’s awards. “I’m embarrassed and sorry. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word,” Wallen said in…

Priyanka Chopra Jonas The first time I went to set [during COVID], even though everyone was careful, I felt nervous. I’m the one taking my mask off when I face the camera. Because I’m going to be working and I don’t want to bring it home, I will be taking the vaccine to protect my family—my mom, my husband [Nick Jonas], who is type 1 diabetic. I’m asthmatic. So we’re very conscientious about it. Fat Joe My mother and father [recently] got the COVID-19 vaccine. I picked them up at 6 in the morning and took them. When I was a kid, they took care of me—now I take care of them. Why wouldn’t you take the vaccine? I believe it’s extremely safe. My [parents] have been in the…

Fluffy Friends Prove That Cats and Dogs Can Get Along CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND Meet Instagram’s newest odd couple: Casper, a smiley 6-year-old Samoyed, and Romeo, 2, a perpetually grumpy-faced Persian cat. The pet pals first met in February 2019 when Casper’s owners Wei Cheng Phee and Rinsa Li added Romeo, then a tiny kitten, to their family. After a slow introduction, the animals bonded and now do everything—eat, cuddle, nap and play—together. “It is brotherly love,” says Phee, 26. “They lick each other at the same time,” adds Li, 29, a photographer. Like any parents eager to document their babies growing up, Phee and Li started an Instagram (@Casperandromeo), which now has 58,000 followers. It brims with irresistible videos and photos of the pets’ adventures—where Romeo often walks on a…

Like many couples, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen have had to adjust to an unusual amount of quality time together during the pandemic. “We’ve been alone for the last nine months, and we’ve decided to stay together,” jokes the actress, snuggling close with Danson in the backyard of their L.A. home in early January. Adds the actor: “Every morning we get to choose. It’s a rule.” The couple, who have been married since October 1995, began dating after costarring in the 1993 film Pontiac Moon—but admit it wasn’t love at first sight. The Cheers alum, 73, had just gotten out of his very public relationship with Whoopi Goldberg and finalized his divorce from his second wife, Casey Coates, with whom he shares daughters Kate and Katrina; Steenburgen, 67, was divorced from…

For years strangers would serenade Christopher Plummer with songs from The Sound of Music, the beloved 1965 classic in which he played iron-willed Captain von Trapp. He didn’t like being sung to, and he had decidedly mixed feelings about the movie: An actor of imposing dignity, he was embarrassed by the public’s infatuation with such a sentimental vehicle—he referred to it as “The Sound of Mucus.” But time brought acceptance. “I suppose The Sound of Music is the most popular role I’ve ever done,” he said in 2018. “I really can’t avoid it.” The widely accomplished, widely revered actor died at age 91 Feb. 5 in Weston, Conn., after hitting his head in a fall. “The world has lost a consummate actor today,” said his Music costar Julie Andrews, “and…

Laura Linney is having a good month. On Feb. 3 the actress nabbed a Golden Globe nomination for her role on the hit Netflix show Ozark. The following day she got a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for the same show. The day after that she celebrated her 57th birthday. She’s been earning acclaim for decades, but “I don’t take anything for granted,” says the New York native, who attributes her work ethic to her mother, Ann Leggett, an oncology nurse, and her father, playwright Romulus Linney. “I grew up around people who worked very hard with long hours under difficult circumstances,” she says. “They taught me that grit is an important quality to have.” Linney’s first love was theater. After graduating from the prestigious Juilliard School in 1990, she got…

Last Guilty Pleasure Last night I realized I didn’t have any food, so I made a big bowl of pasta with olive oil, butter, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. I go to it when I really want comfort food; it’s my heaven. Last Time I Drank Too Much I’m actually sitting here, if water counts, and I have totally overhydrated today. I’ve had to go to the bathroom 25 times. At least I get my steps in going back and forth. Last Moment of Pride My niece got her pilot’s license and flies around and rescues animals for Amelia Air. And my nephew works behind the scenes. I’m just so proud of everything they’re accomplishing in their lives. Last Time I Was Late I’m never late; I plan ahead.…

In her first acting role in three years, Jodie Foster plays a defense attorney in the new film The Mauritanian, about Mohamedou Ould Salahi’s fight to be released from Guantánamo Bay. The two-time Oscar winner is mom to Charles, 22, and Kit, 19. You direct more than act these days. Why take on this role? I just wanted to make movies that moved me. If I’ve made the effort, it’s an important story. How did it feel to play a renowned lawyer, Nancy Hollander? When you’ve got a wig and lipstick and a different-looking face and nails, that’s always a fun process. But it’s not an impersonation of the real Nancy. I took some license. Have you discovered other passions besides filmmaking? I am officially an empty nester, so it’s…

Newly single after a split from boyfriend Jacob Busch, the actress and OLLY nutritional supplement ambassador opens up about her health journey. Why did you want to change your life? It was initially for fertility reasons because I was thinking of a future mini-me, and for that to happen, I’ve got to be in my healthiest shape ever. My goal was never to be skinny. I’ve lost close to 60 lbs. and have learned to look at the emotional side of eating. I still look like me, just a healthier version. What did you learn about emotional eating? I would deal with the pressure of my hectic lifestyle by numbing myself with food, but I wasn’t treating myself with love. Having a sweet tooth will always be my vice,…

Babies Actress Jenny Slate, 38, revealed she welcomed her first child, daughter Ida Lupine, with her fiancé, writer Ben Shattuck, 36. “Motherhood is for sure the most meaningful thing that has ever happened to me,” she said in a recent interview. • Country singer Mickey Guyton, 37, and her attorney husband, Grant Savoy, 36, welcomed their first child together, son Grayson. “The hardest and most beautiful thing I have ever done,” she captioned his debut on Instagram. • Actor Nick Kroll, 42, and his wife, landscape designer Lily Kwong, 32, announced they welcomed their first child, a boy, on Jan. 21. “Our hearts are full,” Kwong posted on Instagram.

A Guide Dog Leads to Love Hana Kim, Jared Brickman and Aslan When Hana Kim signed on to foster a pup at the Pullman, Wash., chapter of Guide Dogs for the Blind in 2014, she knew her time with Amarillo, a yellow Lab, would be temporary. Volunteers typically help the dogs learn socialization skills and complete their training, then the pups are assigned or—if they don’t meet requirements—adopted. After Amarillo found his forever home, Kim continued to attend weekly meetings, where she got to know Aslan, Amarillo’s littermate, who, after showing signs of cataracts, had been adopted by Jared Brickman. Still missing Amarillo, Kim asked if she could join him and Aslan for a walk. Brickman, now 31, and working in communications, was immediately touched by her warmth. “She was…

As a dad of four, Robin Thicke finds it hard to get a moment to himself. Minutes before video-chatting with People, the singer slipped into the home gym of his Malibu rental to escape the commotion. “It’s the only place the girls don’t come in and make noise!” he says of his daughters Mia, 3, and Lola, who turns 2 on Feb. 26. Two weeks before Christmas, Thicke welcomed his youngest son, Luca, with fiancée April Love Geary. Life has admittedly been chaotic with three kids under 3, but “the house is so filled with love and laughter and joy,” says Thicke, who’s also dad to 10-year-old son Julian (with ex-wife Paula Patton). “In many ways I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.” Thicke’s new chapter is welcomed, but…

My husband makes me a card for every birthday, Christmas, anniversary of our first date, wedding anniversary and sometimes just to say have a nice day. They are usually odd, fun and loving, just like us as a couple. He is the communicative one and always makes me feel secure. To me love is more about safety and emotional security than chemistry. “Love is merely a madness,” Shakespeare wrote, but I think being in love is finding someone who can deal with your madness. (And in the last year, we’ve had a lot of madness!) We are all different—and love is when you find someone who adores what makes you different. In our interview on page 44, Portia de Rossi describes how her wife, Ellen DeGeneres, “made me feel more…

TJ Osborne, the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated country duo Brothers Osborne, made history Feb. 3 when he came out as gay, becoming the only openly gay artist signed to a major country label. “I’ve kept a part of me muted, and it’s been stifling,” Osborne, 36, told Time. Other Nashville artists (including Chely Wright, Ty Herndon and Billy Gilman) have come out, but Osborne is the first to do so at the height of his career. The Maryland native told family and friends about his sexuality in his 20s but hesitated to go public in the country music world. “I don’t think I’m going to get run off the stage in Chicago,” he said. “But in a rural town playing a county fair? I’m curious how this will…

then & now! When actor, writer and producer Fisher Stevens—who just directed the Justin Timberlake drama Palmer—was a teen, his mom rented space in their Greenwich Village loft to an acting school to make ends meet. “They built a stage in our living room,” says Stevens. “I’d watch them after school and think, ‘Being an actor is the coolest job ever.’” Soon he was joining in and landed his first job at 16, on the soap opera Ryan’s Hope. “I saw it as a way to make some money for the family, but I also loved it. I found it much more interesting than high school.” After roles in Short Circuit and Hackers (and famously dating Michelle Pfeiffer from 1989 to 1992), he got into directing and producing documentaries, winning an Oscar…

Shortly after my 7-month-old niece Brett passed away due to congenital heart disease complications in 2017, my wife, Caroline, brother-in-law Bo and sister-in-law Ellen created the Brett Boyer Foundation—an organization that supports CHD research and awareness while celebrating Down syndrome. One in a hundred babies is born with CHD, and 40 to 50 percent of kids with Down syndrome have a CHD-related heart issue. The foundation currently has seven major research projects being funded across the country and is proud to be spearheading a mental health support push for patients and families affected. It’s all about spreading awareness. We’re trying to put funds in the hands of these very intelligent doctors to hopefully make sure no other family ever has to go through what we’ve gone through. The foundation…

How’s the hosting experience? I love it—it feels like leading a giant orchestra. I watched game shows as a kid, and I always wanted to be a part of one. Do you get nervous for the contestants? Oh, I sweat bullets! How have you been holding up during the pandemic? Well, I learned two languages, and I finally read War and Peace. Actually, no, but [wife Jenny Mollen and I] did manage to get through Ozark. And a lot of Disney movies. How do your sons [Sid, 6, and Lazlo, 3] get along? Their relationship has blossomed. I’m grateful that they have each other.…

“We had absolutely nothing in common,” Ali MacGraw remembers of her first meetings with Love Story costar Ryan O’Neal. “He was a California kid, had been a movie star, was athletic.” She was an artsy Wellesley grad who had worked at fashion magazines. But their chemistry was “magic,” recalls O’Neal, now 79. “They had to drag me away from her,” he jokes. Says MacGraw, 81: “We just clicked.” The film, which opened in February 1971 and has now been rereleased on Blu-ray, featured O’Neal as Harvard preppy Oliver Barrett IV, who falls in love with radiant working-class Radcliffe student Jennifer Cavilleri (MacGraw). It was a phenomenon, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all time and turning its stars into overnight supernovas. It all began when MacGraw, who had just…

A s senior vice president of worldwide sales for United Airlines, Jake Cefolia was “working at my dream job,” he declared on his Twitter profile: “Travel is my job and my passion.” In the summer of 2020, even as his industry was reeling from COVID-19 shutdowns, Cefolia took part in a webinar projecting a convincingly sunny outlook that was everything his longtime customers had come to expect from the genial executive, who had been named to his top-level post just two years earlier. “He was the same old Jake,” a friend and colleague who texted with him July 24 recalls of Cefolia’s demeanor on the video. “Warm, friendly, upbeat and talking about the future.” Just two weeks later, however, Cefolia’s own future turned upside down. After the 49-year-old father missed…
