IN 2007 Shane McAnally was an aspiring songwriter struggling to make ends meet. His car had been repossessed and he was couch-surfing after losing his home. But everything changed when the Mineral Wells, Texas, native met his future husband, Michael Baum, 45. “I thought it would just be a weekend hookup,” recalls McAnally, 44, of their initial meeting. But the pair began dating, and McAnally, who had struggled with his sexuality prior to meeting Baum, slowly began coming out—and being more honest in his music. “Before, I was always worried about the pronouns I was using. I worried: ‘Will a good ol’ boy sing a song if a gay guy wrote it?’” McAnally says. “One of the things that changed was authenticity. I was telling the truth.” He got…

E. Jean Carroll, who has written the “Ask E. Jean” column for Elle magazine since 1993, has joined 15 other women—including former People writer Natashat Stoynoff—in accusing President Trump of past sexual assault. In her upcoming book What Do We Need Men For? Carroll, 75, reports that Trump recognized her as “that advice lady” at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City in the mid-1990s. He asked her to help him choose a gift, she says, and then followed her into a dressing room and “held me against the wall … and jams his hand under my coatdress and pulls down my tights.” In a statement, President Trump, 73, denied the allegations, saying, “Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to try to get publicity for themselves,…

The actress, 32, steals scenes as the voice of Giggle McDimples, a supertiny police officer Were you always a Disney fan? When I was 6, I was the girl who would stand in front of the TV and sing along with all the Disney movies. I grew up with these characters. It’s just so full circle, it’s really unbelievable. Tell us about a favorite toy from childhood. I still have my Polly Pocket collection—I still have it in my room. I would spend hours in my room doing all the voices. How does voice work differ from the on-camera acting you’ve done on shows like Cloak & Dagger? You can wear sweatpants. I loved that!  MICHAEL TRAN/FILMMAGIC; DISNEY PIXAR…

At first glance they looked like any other happy family on graduation day in sunny Los Angeles, snapping selfies and posing for photos. In the center stood the man of honor, a grinning, goateed Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr.— better known as Prince—in his cap, gown and white sash at Loyola Marymount University’s commencement ceremonies. For everyone there, from Prince’s younger brother Bigi (formerly better known as Blanket) and his aunt La Toya to his 89-year-old wheelchair-bound grandmother Katherine and handful of uncles, cousins and aunts, the May 11 event served as a moment to celebrate. “His father would have been so proud and excited for his oldest boy,” says a family friend. But for the son of the late King of Pop and his family, it was also a…

But there was something special about little Blaze—who was just 3 days old when he came into her intensive-care unit in June 2017 following surgery for a rare heart defect. “This little guy had such a personality,” says Farnan, a charge nurse at OSF HealthCare Children’s Hospital in Peoria, Ill. “Everyone was just drawn to him.” During the boy’s months-long recovery, Angela and the other nurses carved out extra time to spend with the newborn because his parents lived more than an hour away and, with three other kids under age 5 at home, weren’t able to be at the hospital for extended…

Sienna Miller knows a thing or two about making headlines. After her breakout roles in the early 2000s, the British actress quickly became a tabloid fixture known more for her romantic life than her work. Now, nearly 20 years later, “I’m a little more boring,” she says with a laugh. And she’s finally getting the kind of attention she can enjoy—rave reviews. “Getting older is relieving,” says Miller, 37. “People are more willing to see you as a talented human being and not just something in a skirt.” Years ago she left the London party scene (and former fiancé Jude Law) behind for a more settled life as a working actress and mom to Marlowe, 6, her daughter with ex-boyfriend Tom Sturridge. Quietly her career has flourished. She’s now earning…
