Today Aaron Neville is a happy, healthy 82-year-old man living on the New York farm he shares with his wife, Sarah A. Friedman, 56. Surrounded by animals and fresh air, he’s found a peace that had long eluded him. “If I had my life to live over,” says the singer over Zoom, “the things I would and wouldn’t do: I wouldn’t get a tattoo on my face. I wouldn’t put a needle in my arm. I would try to be the best person I could be.” Growing up hustling and singing alongside his siblings and future bandmates in New Orleans, the Neville Brothers frontman and five-time Grammy winner—best known for his silky R&B classics like “Tell It Like It Is” and multiple hit duets, including “Don’t Know Much” with Linda…

John Schneider stares lovingly at a large mural of him and his late wife, Alicia Allain Schneider, painted on the side of their home in Holden, La. “Hello, my smile,” he tells it with tears in his eyes, his voice tender yet broken. It’s just one of many items the Dukes of Hazzard star has on the property to keep the memory of Alicia—and the life they shared—alive. But the sprawling rural spread has also come to be what Schneider, 63, calls “a point of pain” since Alicia died from breast cancer at age 53 on Feb. 21. “We lived here, but we also survived here,” he says. “We chased our dreams and caught them here. This place has been very important to us from the very beginning and still…

As a young mom of three when she first began telling jokes while selling jewelry at house parties in East Tennessee, Leanne Morgan drew from what she knew: hemorrhoids, night nursing and “not knowing my own name I was so tired.” So when perimenopause hit after she’d become a professional stand-up comic some 20 years later, it was only natural to work her brain fog, hot flashes (“I sweat like I’ve been doing Zumba all night”) and hormonal imbalances into her set. “I’ve always talked about my body and what it was going through,” says Morgan, 57. “Perimenopause is one of the hardest things—it sneaks up on you, and you feel crazy. So I had to talk about it.” That openness has been a hit for Morgan, who in her…

Oliver Anthony was working in industrial manufacturing when his song “Rich Men North of Richmond” was uploaded to the RadioWV YouTube channel on Aug. 8. Within days the acoustic dig at politicians ignoring the plight of the working class had become a hit, and Anthony, 31, an overnight sensation. A high-school dropout living in a camper in Farmville, Va., Anthony, whose real name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford, has emerged as an unlikely working-class symbol. “Rich Men” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a first for an artist with no record label and no prior chart history. “This isn’t a Republican or Democrat thing,” he said of the song, which was played at the first Republican primary debate on Aug. 23. “What I care about is connecting with…

Five years after Duran Duran founding member Andy Taylor was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer (which felt like a “death sentence,” he told People), he says his symptoms are gone because of a new radiation treatment he began in June. Taylor, 62, who had to miss the band’s 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, said the injectable drug, lutetium-177, has extended his life five years. “I was classified as palliative, end-of-life care,” Taylor told The Times of London. “Now I’m not.”…

Former Bridesmaid Wears Dress Around the World—for 35 Years! PITTSBURGH Rebecca Whitlinger wore a sequined, gold lamé gown in a friend’s 1988 wedding—and has hardly stopped wearing it since. “I decided if I couldn’t wear it anywhere, I’d wear it everywhere—and take the pictures to prove it,” says the 62-year-old, whose story was first covered in People in 1997. The associate director of a nonprofit stores the “remarkably durable” dress in the trunk of her car, and through the years it’s been from Paris to Milan and worn to ski in the Swiss Alps, pose with a guard in London, attend a Pittsburgh Steelers football game and hike Peru’s Machu Picchu. “It’s a hobby,” Whitlinger adds. “Some people knit. I wear a bridesmaid dress.” Sock Monkey Museum Wins World Record for…

As dancers, Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert are in constant motion—but for their big day the couple chose a place of immense stillness: the Santa Lucia Preserve in Monterey County, Calif. After eight years together, the Dancing With the Stars alums said “I do” on Aug. 26, surrounded by a towering forest of 800-year-old redwood trees. “We were thinking about location and asked ourselves, ‘What’s important to us?’ Nature was the first thing,” says Hough, 38. “We got married right in front of this mother tree that’s surrounded by all these smaller trees,” adds Erbert, 28, who planned the couple’s “regal and rustic” nuptials with Troy Williams of Simply Troy. “They drop all the seeds, and it plants an army of children to protect the mother. The symbolism was beautiful.…

Every weekend in the summer, thousands of cars snake up Maine’s highway 1 toward the coastal destinations of Bar Harbor, Rockport and Belfast. People used to drive right past the small town of Manchester. But these days a lot of them are turning off there. Manchester (population 2,500) is the home base of Maine Cabin Masters, the hit renovation show that follows five charming, rough-around-the-edges local builders who restore dilapidated family “camps” (as vacation cabins are known in the region), often in remote locations and amid treacherous weather conditions. The series’ success has put the town on the map and made stars of contractor Chase Morrill, his decorator sister Ashley, her husband, Ryan Eldridge, and their childhood friends Matt “Dixie” Dix and Jared “Jedi” Baker. On any weekend morning the…

Jackson, with whom Palmer shares 7-month-old son Leodis, publicly criticized her for an outfit she wore to Usher’s Vegas residency in July, and sources told People he had “moved on.” IT’S OVER Pete Davidson & Chase Sui Wonders The Saturday Night Live alum, 29, and the actress, 27, have split after less than a year of dating. “He’s single again,” a source confirms to People. “He’s out and about and doing really well.” BIRTHDAY WISHES Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds The actor and businessman, 46, paid tribute to the actress and Betty Buzz founder, 36, on Instagram Aug. 25. “You hung the damn…

Weddings Country Star Ty Herndon, 61, married Alex Schwartz in an outdoor ceremony in Chapmansboro, Tenn., on Aug. 26. “We knew we wanted something that captured our personalities, and we fell in love with this place as soon as we saw it. We used the wedding scene in the movie of The Proposal as a bit of a reference,” Herndon told People. Former Sister Wives star Leon Brown, 28, quietly married partner Audrey Kriss, 27, at a Colorado courthouse on Oct. 29, 2022. The couple got engaged in January 2019.

‘Being an uncle is about listening and doing what [my nieces] want’ Jake Gyllenhaal is admittedly a by-the-book kind of guy. The star has leaned on research and discipline over the years to deliver intense performances in films like Brokeback Mountain and Zodiac.“In the movie industry things work on time, and there are standards and rules. So I take comfort in that, and I think I’m a pretty neat person,” says Gyllenhaal, 42. But as an uncle to Ramona, 16, and Gloria, 11—the daughters of his sister, actress-director Maggie Gyllenhaal, and her husband, actor Peter Sarsgaard—he’s learned to throw the rule book out. Instead he’s written his first children’s book, The Secret Society of Aunts & Uncles, with coauthor Greta Caruso, a longtime friend. The whimsical adventure shows that Gyllenhaal…

David Oyelowo TAKES ON THE OLD WEST Playing the first Black U.S. deputy marshal west of the Mississippi River in Lawmen: Bass Reeves was a dream more than eight years in the making for Oyelowo, who also executive-produces the series alongside Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. “We are going for a true historical representation, which is rare,” Oyelowo, 47, told People ahead of production. “People don’t know that one in four cowboys back then were Black and that the Lone Ranger was basically a story that was ripped from Bass Reeves’s life.” For the series, Oyelowo trained in horse riding and firearms to play the man who arrested more than 3,000 criminals in the 1800s: “He had a long career with so many legendary stories. That’s what’s exciting.” Plus! Yellowstone Comes to…
