Mindy Kaling has never been accused of being a slouch. The former star of The Office and The Mindy Project has written two memoirs and is now out with a third, Nothing Like I Imagined, a digital collection available on Amazon Original Stories. She also created the acclaimed Netflix series Never Have I Ever and is currently writing for multiple upcoming projects, including Legally Blonde 3—all while raising daughter Katherine, nicknamed Kit, as a single parent (she has chosen not to reveal the father’s identity). Kaling thought she had multitasking down to a science—and then the pandemic hit. To her surprise, sheltering at home in L.A. has allowed the 41-year-old some welcome breathing room along with its challenges. “A lot of the stuff I thought was going to drive me…

PROMOTING SOCIAL JUSTICE IN SCHOOLS Kahlila Williams, 16 Kahlila Williams is too young to vote in this year’s election, but that hasn’t stopped her from getting involved. “There are 40 million young, eligible voters this year. And most of them don’t know how the pandemic or police violence has disproportionately affected Black and brown Americans,” she says. “I want people who can vote to know the facts.” So Williams is doing plenty to get the word out and spark change: She’s given speeches with the Black Lives Matter Youth Vanguard at protests in her hometown of Los Angeles. At Girls Academic Leadership Academy, where she’s now a senior, she founded the school’s Black Student Union to support minority students and has called for an end to police practices like random…

People WORLD’S CUTEST RESCUE DOG CONTEST PRESENTED BY Christin Schubert will never forget the first time she laid eyes on Lamb Chop, the shy little 12-pound Maltese she adopted in December 2014. After the death of her beloved rescue cat Seven, Schubert had gone to the Washington County Humane Society in Slinger, Wis., in hopes of making another special connection with a pet in need of a home. “I hadn’t planned on getting a dog,” admits the 41-year-old, who works in IT for Harley Davidson, “but she was so small. She struck my heart.” Lamb Chop has also stolen the hearts of voters in this year’s People World’s Cutest Rescue Dog Contest presented by Pedigree.

As somebody who came from the Bronx, I understand that from the moment we enter this world certain limitations are put upon people based on zip code or race. It’s so important to me that we democratize access to quality health care and therefore quality of life. I’ve been working with ByteCares, which, alongside the L.A. Promise Fund, is providing free teledentistry to more than 10 high schools in South L.A. The students, parents and teachers who might otherwise not have proper access to oral health care can now have access to teledentistry, which in times of COVID is extremely important. We also provide Byte products and hygiene education. When we talk about improving smiles, we’re not just talking about aligning teeth—we’re talking about the long-term health care of…

Chrishell Stause is cozied up on the couch in the living room of her Hollywood Hills home, laughing as she reveals she’s learning (well, trying to learn) how to waltz for the next episode of Dancing with the Stars. “I’m so clumsy, and I’m pigeon-toed,” she cracks, “but I’m having a lot of fun.” Stause is smiling, and the tone of today’s conversation is surprisingly upbeat—particularly when considering that less than a year ago, in this very room, the actress and celebrity real estate agent was crying in a friend’s arms, recounting her split from her husband, Justin Hartley, who she said ended their marriage over a text message. That scene, and the fallout from Stause’s divorce from the This Is Us star, plays out on the hit Netflix real…

Actress Rebel Wilson has a new man in her life: Jacob Busch, an heir to the Anheuser-Busch brewery fortune. And he’s perfect for her, friends say. “This is the first guy she’s met who is a match for her humor and personality, who has his own life and success and isn’t intimidated by her,” the source says of the couple, who made their red carpet debut at Prince Albert of Monaco’s Monte-Carlo Gala for Planetary Health on Sept. 24. Hours earlier Wilson made their relationship Instagram-official with a photo of them boarding a helicopter alongside Helen Mirren and Kate Beckinsale.

Coronavirus didn’t stop the singer and designer, 32, from finding a safe way to put on her starry Savage X Fenty Vol. 2 fashion show, which begins streaming on Prime Video Oct. 2. How did you create a lingerie show in 2020? It was a completely different process this year. We had to work around the challenges of COVID-19, keeping everyone safe and their health at the top of our list. It forced us to figure out new ways to produce a show. We had to figure out ways to make this feel as visually enthusiastic as possible. I’m excited, and I’m proud of my team—we pulled it off. What’s the message behind Savage X Fenty? Inclusivity has always been a part of our brand. That’s not a “right…

The rock star, 56, opens up about his early years in his new memoir Let Love Rule. In the book you look back on your life before you made it, like when you had to sleep in your car. It’s part of the journey, and I’m glad I had that experience. I can live anywhere, anyway. I can live in a car or a mansion—it doesn’t matter. You also honor your mother, Jeffersons actress Roxie Roker. How do you remember her? I was a mama’s boy. She was a woman who never spoke badly about anybody, even if they deserved it. At her funeral [in 1995], late actor Brock Peters said, “If Roxie met the devil himself, she’d say to him, ‘What a lovely red suit.’” The whole place burst…

‘I’ll keep doing this as long as I can. I’m just riding the wave’—KEITH MORRISON As an award-winning journalist and correspondent at NBC’s Dateline for more than 25 years, Keith Morrison is no stranger to asking tough questions. But on the rare occasion he’s on the other side of an interview, he’s quick to claim his life story pales in comparison to the crime tales he’s famous for telling. “Take whatever it is you take to stay awake!” Morrison, 73, jokes before launching into an account of his journey to TV fame. Humble as he may be, the Canadian father of six is far from dull. He’s got a loyal legion of celeb superfans that includes Taylor Swift, Kristen Bell and Michael Bublé, and his soothing narration of gruesome true-crime…

Lily Collins didn’t envision herself as a surfer. But during the quarantine months, Collins, 31, and her now-fiancé, director Charlie McDowell, 37 (they announced their engagement via Instagram on Sept. 25), would drive up the coast from L.A. and find a spot for him to safely teach her how to read the waves. “You’re in the water where people can see you, and it’s about letting go and putting yourself out there in a way that is vulnerable but very freeing,” she says. “Being at the mercy of something more powerful than you, whether it’s a wave or just being in nature and looking up and thinking, ‘Okay, I’m one small piece of this,’ that’s been really helpful for me.” Now the actress is ready to test the waters once…

People MENTAL HEALTH Let’s Talk About It Before reuniting with her fellow Spice Girls for their U.K. and Ireland tour last year, Melanie Chisholm—aka Sporty Spice—had some hesitations about stepping back into the ponytailed persona that made her a star in the ’90s. “We last performed together at the 2012 Olympics in London, so it had been a long time,” says the singer, 46. “I was nervous about whether I’d have the energy to jump around and sing all those songs!” But when she stepped out onstage with bandmates Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown and Emma Bunton (fifth member Victoria Beckham didn’t join the tour), her worries went out the window. “I loved being Sporty Spice again,” she says. “I started thinking about my life and career, and I felt this…

Last Time I Watched the Sunset Last night Joe [LoCicero, her husband] and I took a walk and saw it. We’ll do a 10-second video with our eyes; then you can go back in your mind anytime. Last Irrational Fear We stayed in this Airbnb, and I heard noises coming from the basement, so I was too scared to go down there. When we did, it had a big TV and gym! Last Time I Felt Like a Kid Every day. I like to live in that playful space where I’m always curious. I tell my husband, “I’m keeping us young.” Last Thing I Misplaced I don’t really lose things. I’m making a pillow, and I remember where I put the needle. I almost have a photographic memory. Last…
