Amy Adams knows a sign of success. “I fell asleep in my makeup,” says the actress, sitting in her brightly lit kitchen the day after the L.A. premiere of her film Nightbitch. “I always know if I wake up and I’ve got a false eyelash stuck somewhere on my face, I’ve had a good night.” As sunny as the light streaming in this afternoon, Adams is matter-of-fact when she delves into the darker shadows of her early years of motherhood, a topic she faces head-on in her new horror-comedy. Ask her when she started to feel like herself again after giving birth to her daughter Aviana, now 14, and she doesn’t skip a beat. “Last year?” chuckles Adams, who is married to artist Darren Le Gallo.

Demi Moore Actor, 62 In the horror film The Substance, Moore’s character injects herself with a potion to stay youthful. But in real life the age-defying actress doesn’t fear getting older. “To me this is the most exciting time of my life,” she told Today. “My children are grown.

Nothing could have prepared Jessie Close for what she saw that day in 1998 when she climbed the stairs to her son Calen’s loft studio over the family’s garage. “He had painted ‘Silence You’ across the wall with dripping red paint,” says Jessie, now 71. “It was like, ‘Holy s---, what is this?’ ” Sadly it wasn’t the first time her son had displayed troubling behavior. “He’d sit on the couch and rock and rock, and his pupils were huge,” she recalls. “He’d look out of the windows of our house in Bozeman and say things like, ‘That person is watching me,’ but no one was there. He had just deteriorated right in front of our eyes.” But that day was more frightening than anything she’d seen before. After Calen’s…

TEXAS HOLD’EM! Matthew McConaughey celebrated the University of Texas’s 17-7 win over longtime rival Texas A&M on Nov. 30 at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas.

Angelina Jolie scored a win over ex-husband Brad Pitt in their ongoing lawsuit involving the French winery Miraval. On Nov. 25 a judge in the case ruled that Pitt must disclose documents, including emails and texts, that Jolie’s lawyer Paul Murphy claims will prove her allegations of abuse against Pitt and “years of cover-up” on his part. In 2016 Jolie filed for divorce days after a private plane flight on which she has claimed Pitt was abusive to her and their six children; Pitt has denied the allegations and was cleared by authorities after investigations at the time. Earlier this year his lawyers called Jolie’s request for the documents “a sensationalist fishing expedition.” Pitt, 60, sued Jolie, 49, in 2022 after she sold her half of their jointly owned winery,…

Though he’s newly split, Ben Affleck wasn’t solo on Thanksgiving: He celebrated the holiday with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three children, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Afterward they all had dinner at Garner’s home. Having her loved ones under one roof buoyed the actress, who has been “heartbroken” over the recent loss of her beloved golden retriever Birdie, says a Garner source. With Violet, a first-year student at Yale, home for the holiday,…

1. Challengers Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist serve up a sharp, sexy tale about the sport of love COMEDY Tennis, anyone? In director Luca Guadagnino’s sexually sizzling film, the zipping ping and pong of a fuzzy yellow ball builds to an almost orgasmic frenzy. Zendaya plays a onetime tennis prodigy who now manages her husband, a stalled star player (Mike Faist). To restore his mojo, she maneuvers him into a match against his former best friend, now rival (Josh O’Connor). But she may have her own spin—as Guadagnino slowly reveals, with the grown-up clarity of a Mozart opera (or an unusually progressive rom-com), she alone understands that they’re all in love with one another. It’s just that their emotions play out on court. The movie is a dizzying original—an…

In a spectacular celestial show, the Perseid meteor shower scored the night sky with white-hot streaks over Wisconsin’s Green Lake on Aug. 11 as the aurora borealis, in a rare coincidence, filled the vast emptiness with an otherworldly glow. “I was out with my camera,” recalls Green Lake resident Joe Norton, 77, a boat builder, who went out on the deep body of water that night. “It’s a pretty dark area, but if the northern lights are active, you get some pretty good pictures.” Unbeknownst to Norton, there was reportedly somebody else out on Green Lake that night. Ryan Borgwardt, a 44-year-old married father of three, had hitched a trailer with his kayak to his car and left his home in Watertown, Wis., an hour south of the lake, for…

Jeff Goldblum had just begun filming on his first major movie when someone on-set sideswiped him with a negative review: You stink. No, it wasn’t Goldblum’s performance, but rather his body odor. To convincingly play a menacing street thug in the 1974 Charles Bronson thriller Death Wish, the normally fastidious Pennsylvania native thought he should stop bathing in what he calls a “misguided” attempt at Method acting. “The assistant director came up to me and said, ‘Jeff, we’re in a small space here. You smell. Can you do something about that?’ ” recalls the Jurassic Park actor, 72. “I was shamed, but it was a good lesson: In show business or any collaborative, close area, keep your hygiene up.” It’s one of many nuggets of wisdom the proudly quirky actor, now…
