For February 20, 2017 'Chrissy is radiant! She's beautiful both inside and out' Jennifer P. via e-mail Chrissy Metz I was overjoyed to see Chrissy Metz on your cover! She's an inspiration to women everywhere! Her portrayal of Kate on This Is Us brings me to tears every time, and I'm happy to see that she's as wonderful as I'd imagined. You go, Chrissy! Jenifer Hayes Tipton, Ind. As someone who has struggled with her weight since childhood and has always been ashamed, it's nice to see People feature someone whom so many can relate to.

Two months after Sarah Stern's mysterious disappearance, police say that she was murdered—and arrest her two closest friends In the halls of New Jersey's Neptune High School, Sarah Stern would often act out skits with best friends Preston Taylor and Liam McAtasney. The pals had been inseparable since they met growing up on the Jersey Shore; the trio even went to the prom together, with Stern and Taylor as one of the couples in a group that included McAtasney and his date. "They knew each other's locker combinations," says classmate Morgan Randall. "They were that close." So when Stern's car was found abandoned on a bridge near her home Dec. 3, it wasn't surprising that Taylor and McAtasney joined the search for the 19-year-old artist. "They helped search bushes and…

I've always been a believer in having good skin. Mine is dry, fair and sensitive. As you get older, your skin gets drier and we need to take better…

THE ACTOR, 46, IS THE CAPED CRUSADER IN THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE Last guilty pleasure I've been working overseas and always have early call times. But I recently watched a hockey game at 1 in the morning, even though I knew I had to work. I was just like, "Screw it." It's more of a pure pleasure. Last perfect day off I took my two kids [Archie, 8, and Abel, 6] to the Harry Potter studio tour in London. I usually try to sleep as much as I can on my days off, but they're huge Harry Potter fans, so just being with them and walking around the set was the best. Last time I binge-watched a show I can't remember the last time I didn't! If you don't, everyone…

Charlie Day The actor, 41, stars as a high school teacher in the new comedy Fist Fight You costar with Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan. What was it like on-set? It was a really good energy. Except for during the fight scenes when Cube and I would have to break to get an ice pack or something. But there was a lot of making each other laugh. What kind of student were you? I was always a little bit of a class clown. I was tiny and freckly, and I wanted girls to like me, so I figured the best way to do that was to make them laugh. Your son Russell is 5 now. What's the biggest challenge of parenthood? Trying to learn how to be one! There's no…

Is he prepared for the toughest gig in show business? The talk show host is rehearsing his jokes (look out, Matt Damon) and getting suited up for Hollywood's big night Jimmy Kimmel makes no bones about it: Matt Damon should be afraid. Very afraid. When the Jimmy Kimmel Live! star takes the stage to host the 89th Academy Awards on Feb. 26 (airing live on ABC at 7 p.m. ET), he says Damon—who is nominated as a producer for Manchester by the Sea—will surely be the brunt of a few jokes.

Maybe he produces garbage at home." But the rest of the star-studded crowd…
