More than two years after she was charged with murdering her fiancé, Vincent Viafore, 46—who drowned April 19, 2015, after his kayak capsized on New York’s Hudson River (People,June 1, 2015)—Angelika Graswald, 37, pleaded guilty on July 24 to a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. Graswald, who stood to collect $250,000 in life-insurance benefits, was accused of tampering with Viafore’s kayak and then letting him drown in the frigid river. Her attorney Richard Portale claims it was a tragic accident caused by choppy waters, high winds and the fact that Viafore wasn’t wearing a life vest or wet suit. Graswald, whose sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 1, now faces up to four years behind bars but, says Portale, “will be out in December” due to time served. In a…

Until recently Mindy Kaling kept news of her first pregnancy private, but there were some people she just had to tell. When the actress was promoting her new movieA Wrinkle in Time at Disney’s D23 expo in Anaheim, Calif., she gave her co stars Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon the good word. “My mouth dropped,” Winfrey, 63, tells People. “I was like, ‘What did you just say?’ She said, ‘Oh, Oprah, I don’t think you know, but I’m five months pregnant.’ I said, ‘WHAAAAT?!’ And then we just kept smiling. I’m so happy for her.” The trio went on to do press for the film based on Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved children’s book without spilling the beans. Kaling, 38, who hasn’t named the baby’s father, showed off her bump on July…

I’m a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme, and we came up with the idea to launch a Care2 petition to focus on fighting gender inequality. It was an easy choice because I have two teenage daughters. Gender equality is such a fundamental human right, but there are 155 countries that have legislation that discriminates against women, and it’s just stupid. We need everyone to have the opportunity to participate and make this world a better place. The petition calls on fathers around the globe to unite and empower women and girls by promoting literacy and education. My daughters are very lucky they live in a part of the world where they have almost 100 percent equality, but there’s still things that we can do better here. I…

SAM SHEPARD 1943-2017 A Force on Stage and Screen Jessica Lange met actor play wright Sam Shepard when he was cast in a small role in her 1982 movie Frances. The connection was instantaneous, sparking a relationship that lasted nearly 30 years. “I’ve had romances with what you’d call famous men,” she once said. “And none compare to Sam in terms of maleness.” Shepard, whose powerful talent earned him both an Oscar nomination (for 1983’s astronaut epic The Right Stuff) and the Pulitzer Prize for drama (for 1979’sBuried Child) died at age 73 on July 27 at his home in Kentucky, surrounded by his family.

John Boyega has had some big breaks: At 22, he was plucked from obscurity to play renegade stormtrooper Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now all of 25, he’s impressing critics with his role in Kathryn Bigelow’s gritty new movieDetroit. But the moment that really launched his career? That would be landing the part of a leopard in a primary school play. With one growl, Boyega knew he had found his calling. “I’ve always aimed high,” says the London-born son of Nigerian immigrants. “I’ve been working towards this for a very long time.” Well, not really all that long, if you measure Boyega’s trajectory in mere years. But there was nothing in the actor’s early life to suggest that wealth and fame were in the cards. The son of…

When she’s recognized, “I’m not bothered,” she says. “I have more smiles coming my way; people are always nice.

Captain America. As…

Last Time I Was Late This morning. I’m always roughly 15 to 20 minutes late. I’d just like everybody to hate me, and then I come in and do my job real well and they go, “You know, I ain’t mad at him no more.” Last Day Off I got home off the road, and I went and got an IV drip, went to an infrared sauna and got a massage. That’s the perfect day off because I work myself so hard that I need to replenish and really take care of myself, and I never do. Last Time I Cried Maxwell’s cover of “This Woman’s Work” was playing, and I thought about my daughter’s birth and my brother’s death and that was the perfect cry. It was joy and…

Jason Lewis TheSex and the Cityalum, 46, stars in NBC’s new supernatural seriesMidnight, Texas You play Joe Strong, an angel. What drew you to the role? I read it, and I was like, “Wings? I get to fly!” Because in my imagination I’m still 10 years old. I didn’t account for the CGI, but I can lie to my godsons and nephews. Do you believe in the supernatural? Yes, absolutely. I think we are far from understanding a lot of what is going on around us. Even Einstein believed in the divine. How do you spend a day off? Surfing, yoga—and I started slacklining last year, which is kind of like tightrope walking, but it’s a flat strap. It’s so fun. What keeps you grounded? I pulled away from…

Fans of both theAll-American Rejects and theTVseries Parenthood would recognize Tyson Ritter’s chiseled cheekbones anywhere. But in the band’s new video for the single “Sweat,” the singer dons a wig, fishnets and stilettos to play a man who moonlights as a prostitute named Betsy. “I think we all have that yin and yang, the feminine and masculine energy in us,” Ritter says of the video, which examines gender identity. “Itwas nice to feel graceful, sexy, empowered— especially in six-inch platforms.

1 AUTUMN-INSPIRED EYE SHADOW The latest makeup look taking over Hollywood is a warm smoky eye that makes us long for changing leaves and pumpkin-spice lattes. Blend a touch of caramel, copper and russet shadow together for a subtle wash of color, or layer it on for a fiery finish. 2 DEEP PURPLE META This jewel-toned hue is typically seen on eyes, but now it’s a cool color for lips and cheeks too. “A metallic finish gives traditional plum an edgy twist,” says makeup artist Yolonda Frederick-Thompson, who applied a metal-tinged lip color on Jennifer Hudson (below).

Justin Bieber’s fans were furious when he suddenly canceled the remaining dates of his Purpose World Tour on July 24, but multiple sources close to the singer say it’s because he recognized he needed the break. “There’s a mental exhaustion that very few people understand,” says a friend. “It’s amature way of saying, ‘Sorry, I need to focus on my own health for a bit.’” To regroup, Bieber, 23, is focusing on his spirituality “and hanging with his church crew,”an insider of the singer, who is a member of Hillsong, a Pentecostal megachurch, whose services Nick Jonas andVanessa Hudgens have also attended. But his brief timeoff hasn�t been without drama: Two days after announcing the end of his tour, he accidentally hit a photographer with his truck while leaving a…

A Bigger Step Into the Spotlight After tree surgeon James Schembri was knocked unconscious by a falling branch in eastern England last year, he awoke to find his head being cradled by a member of an air ambulance crew. Though he’d suffered a dislocated hip and shattered shoulder in the accident, the former infantryman, 38, was strong enough to playfully banter with the man who was preparing to help load him into the helicopter. “It dawned on me that Prince William flew for the air ambulance,” recalls Schembri, “and I turned around and said, ‘William had better not be flying this.’ He said, ‘I’ve been holding your head for the last 30 minutes!’ ” Flying under the radar is no easy feat when you’re the future King of England, but…
