As for their venue, the couple wed at a client’s house Fitzgerald had listed—and she actually sold the property after showing it on her wedding day! “It was our dream wedding,” she says of the event, which will be chronicled on season 2 of Selling Sunset, available for streaming on Netflix on May 22. WORKOUT TWINS Los Angeles, May 17 Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Brad Falchuk…

You’ve been working on several different TV shows a week. How are your at-home, DIY glam sessions going? I put makeup on so many times a day. It’s going okay, but I didn’t get a tutorial. I have a toiletry bag with two canisters—one called “contour” and another called “all over”—and honestly, I can’t tell the difference. I’ve been told that I didn’t blend a couple of times. It’s all new to me! ‘[SHAYNA] AND I ARE TRYING TO COOK THINGS THAT ARE RELATIVELY HEALTHY … BUT I DO SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE PANTRY CHEATING’ How’s life in quarantine going for you and Shayna? We’re spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I’m doing things that I have not in a long time, like the dishes.…

After two decades of nearly nonstop touring, slowing down during the coronavirus pandemic has been an adjustment for Brad Paisley. “I’m cutting my own hair and coloring hair as well,” says the country singer, 47, who recently dyed his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley’s hair at home. “I’m a jackass of all trades at this point!” While it hasn’t all been easy—“both of my kids yesterday had a meltdown,” he says of sons Huck, 13, and Jasper, 11—Paisley is taking advantage of his time at home. “Fishing and hiking in the woods with my family, everybody sitting around the fireplace, we’re trying to do as much of that as we can,” he says. “That part is something I’ll look back and be thankful for.” He’s also focused on helping their Nashville…

Several years ago the cast of Smash [the 2012 NBC musical-drama series] did a one-night only Broadway concert featuring music from the show within the show called Bombshell in Concert. It sold out, and thousands of people couldn’t get tickets. So our producers decided to livestream it on May 20 [on people.com, PeopleTV and People social platforms] and include interviews with the cast via Zoom to help raise money for the Actors Fund, which helps not only actors but all professionals in film, television, theater, music, opera, radio, dance—the entire entertainment community. They provide things such as affordable housing, training services, emergency financial assistance, health care and mental health support. Our goal for the livestream is to raise a ton of money to help those suffering as a result…

‘You were always my comic hero’—STEVE MARTIN The comedian Fred Willard appeared in just about everything, from classic Christopher Guest mockumentaries (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show) to classic sitcoms, including Everybody Loves Raymond and most recently Modern Family, in which he played Grandpa Dunphy. He was never the star—he was happy in an ensemble, delivering his lines with a wide smile and at high volume, as if he were a neighbor shouting over the fence. As he told Esquire: “You think you want to be famous. Then you see 20 or 30 people with cameras running after somebody coming out of a restaurant. And you say, ‘That might be fun for a night.’ The idea is to be just famous enough that when you walk into a restaurant, the…

It’s 8:30 p.m. on a recent weekday evening, and Mitch Albom is stretched out on the sofa in his Detroit home, watching the 2016 Disney movie Pete’s Dragon. It’s an unlikely choice for the 62-year-old Tuesdays with Morrie author, but then it’s been a season of surprises ever since an 8-year-old Haitian orphan named Knox arrived on his doorstep on March 1. What was supposed to be a brief trip to the U.S. for medical treatment for Knox has—thanks to coronavirus travel restrictions—turned into a months-long stay with Albom and his wife, Janine. “Knox has been the light of our household, giving us hugs, laughs and joy,” says Albom, as his unexpected house guest chatters through the film. “I keep thinking how much tougher our existence would be if we…

Lead roles in Party of Five, Scream and The Craft helped make Neve Campbell one of the breakout stars of the 1990s. The actress, 46, has since expanded her résumé with House of Cards, Skyscraper and Castle in the Ground, her latest film, in which she plays a terminally ill mother. “I like to do different things,” she says. “It would be boring if I was doing the same thing over and over again.” Campbell was not involved in MTV’s 2015 Scream show (though she may participate in the fifth movie in the works) or the Party of Five reboot on Freeform earlier this year that she calls “really good.” “When something is made a second time, it’s a compliment to the first,” she says. Twenty years after the original…

On May 13 Melissa Etheridge received the most devastating news any mother can hear: Her son Beckett, 21, had died. In a candid statement, the folk rocker revealed that like an estimated 2 million other Americans, her son had long battled opiate addiction before his death. “Today I joined the hundreds of thousands of families who have lost loved ones to opioid addiction. My son … struggled to overcome his addiction and finally succumbed to it today. He will be missed by those who loved him, his family and friends. My heart is broken,” Etheridge said. “We struggle with what else we could have done to save him, and in the end we know he is out of pain now.” Beckett is survived by his parents, Etheridge, 58, and…

What moments from making the show have stuck with you? In the first season, being able to work with Julia Roberts every day. And now [new costar] Janelle Monáe. We shot in Lake Arrowhead [in California], so just to be in nature was great too. Any guilty pleasures while social distancing? I’ve been baking cherry chip cupcakes from scratch. I figured I might as well learn something. If you weren’t acting, what would you be doing instead? I want to say general manager at McDonald’s. I definitely had aspirations of climbing to the top of that multibillion-dollar business.…

As a young executive at Def Jam, Russell Simmons’s era-defining urban-music label, Drew Dixon spent two years working with the mogul to create some of the biggest hip-hop songs of the ’90s. She hoped to blaze a trail for the fledgling genre as well as for women executives in music. But she says she endured relentless harassment from Simmons and then, in 1995, a violent sexual assault in his apartment. “This was my dream job,” says Dixon. “I was reporting to literally the king of hip-hop. I didn’t want to blow it.” But, she adds, “I didn’t want to be a rape victim.” In 2017 Dixon and several other women—including former Def Jam executive assistant Sil Lai Abrams and early hip-hop artist Sheri Sher—spoke out to say Simmons sexually assaulted…

Mental Health: Let’s Talk About It Mondays have always been tough days at People. We begin the week by getting the issue to press—making final decisions, tweaking layouts, writing and editing breaking news stories and sending the pages to the printer until the early hours of the morning. During COVID-19 this has become even more intense as we do this all from home, battling technology and using every last minute until our 3 a.m. press deadline. At the beginning of the third week of working from home, I woke up on a Monday wanting just to stay in bed. I was anxious, full of dread, thinking, “Can I really handle another stressful 19-hour-day alone in my spare bedroom?” To be clear, this is not like me. I’m usually a…

After weeks of speculation about the state of his 10-year marriage to Megan Fox, Brian Austin Green confirmed on his May 18 podcast that the couple have split. “There’s this sense of loss,” said Green, 46, who shares three sons, Noah, 7, Bodhi, 6, and Journey, 3, with Fox. The former Beverly Hills, 90210 actor revealed that Fox, 34, asked for a separation last fall, and the couple began living apart—he in their Malibu home, she in Calabasas, Calif.—while the kids went back and forth. “I was shocked and upset about it, but I can’t be upset at her, because she didn’t ask to feel that way,” Green said, adding that they hope to co-parent and share family vacations and holidays. Since the split Fox has been spending time…

It wasn’t unusual for Monica Moynan to go weeks without finding the time to catch up, by phone or in person, with her mom, Melanie Tucker, who lived an hour’s drive away. The 22-year-old single mother was busy juggling waitressing shifts in her Holly Springs, N.C., hometown, caring for her two little girls—ages 8 months and 3 years—and making elderberry syrup in batches for a new business she was trying to get off the ground. So she used texts to keep her family informed: sharing upcoming birthday plans, the fact that a lost cat had upset her oldest daughter, details about a new class she was taking. But from April to July 2019, as Melanie tried to solidify plans to see Monica, it seemed that her daughter was refusing to…

Tamara Day’s passion for home renovation just might have been sparked by a creative childhood punishment. “One of my first memories as a kid was sitting on the staircase in timeout filling nail holes with wood putty,” she says, laughing. “I must have been about 4 or 5 and probably in trouble for a few things, but that was my consequence.” Some kids could have grown up loathing anything repair-related, but not Day. On her hit HGTV show Bargain Mansions, the 45-year-old mother of four flips dilapidated homes with her dad, Ward Schraeder, 69, a business owner. She has overhauled more than 60 houses and has a booming interior design business and a retail store. Day still can’t believe her good fortune. “It’s insane,” she says. “I always think, ‘How…

Last Road Trip That was a drive-by to see my niece. She’s 4 months old, and we can’t hug her or anything because of the pandemic, so we just blew her kisses and told her we loved her. Last Time I Felt Empowered When I figured out how to slick down my baby hairs! I have a lot of new growth from my braids. I was able to make a fine-looking baby hair swoop. Last Bet I Made I was playing basketball in the kitchen with these napkins I was throwing in the trash can, and somebody bet me that I couldn’t make it. I made three in a row. Last Time I Was Out of My Comfort Zone Probably when someone wanted to do a Zoom [video] meeting…
