ONE OF HOLLYWOOD’S darkest—and dirtiest— secrets is coming into the light. On Oct. 5 actress Ashley Judd, 49, told The New York Times she was sexually harassed by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein during a meeting two decades ago, at which she says he appeared in a robe and asked if she wanted to watch him shower. Multiple other women came forward with similar accounts in the Times and elsewhere, including Lauren Sivan, a TV reporter who said Weinstein trapped her in an empty restaurant and masturbated in front of her. The Times also reported that at least eight women, including actress Rose McGowan, reached settlements with Weinstein since 1990. The powerful producer, 65, who shepherded Oscar winning movies such as Shakespeare in Love#1 #2 King’s Speech, has since been fired…

At 34, the former model has paid his Hollywood dues with small parts that include a boy toy in Sex and the City 2 and Taylor Swift’s bad boyfriend in her “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” video. “Somebody came up to me once and was like, ‘Are you Noah Mills?’ ” he says. “Like that one time. I thought, ‘Sweet.’ ” Playing a combat medic in NBC’s military drama The Brave will prove he’s more than a pretty face. “What’s exciting about acting is getting to talk and have a personality,” says the Toronto native. “I look forward to having fans.”…

Why I Care PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT GIVING BACK I became aware of the Helen Wood ward Animal Center when Diane Keaton posted about it on social media and mentioned Remember Me Thursday— a movement that helps connect homeless pets with animal lovers to find their forever homes. Adoption is the greatest gift that you could give yourself. I was adopted, and I know the benefits of someone taking me and loving me, and there are no rules to love. When it comes to pets, a lot of times people just want little puppies, but there are so many pets out there that need homes and just want love. I had a Maltese named Madeline that lived 14 years and died on the day after Wicked opened, so she shared a…

The morning after Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton for the American Presidency, twins Jenna and Barbara Bush, 35, lay in Jenna’s bed (her husband, Henry Hager, was away) needing each other for “comfort,” as they both recall. Clinton’s loss got them thinking. “Why aren’t women lifting each other up the way my sister has always lifted me up?” says Jenna, a Today correspondent and mother of two girls (Mila, 4, and Poppy,2). The idea for their memoir Sisters First was born. Barbara, the ultra private cofounder and CEO of the nonprofit Global Health Corps, tells People she was “hesitant; I knew I needed to fully share.” Once they dove in, reading Jenna’s old diaries for research, the former First Daughters, who called the White House home from 2001 to…

’It doesn’t come to you the way you expect it; you have to be open’ —BOSEMANON SUCCESS IN HOLLYWOOD Chadwick Boseman would have been happy to become a screenwriter or a director, quietly working behind the camera. A funny thing happened instead: He became a movie star. After acclaimed turns as Jackie Robinson in 42 and James Brown in Get On Up, Boseman landed the role of Black Panther, Marvel’s first black superhero, who’ll appear in a stand-alone movie next year. He also stars in this month’s Marshall, about the early career of the first African-American Supreme Court justice, Thurgood Marshall. Not bad for a guy who never dreamed of being famous. “I always saw myself behind the scenes,” says Boseman, 40, who started writing plays in high school in…

At Dr. Jennifer Arnold and Bill Klein’s new house in Florida, the backyard pool has been a hub of activity. “I’ll chase the kids around outside, and we swim until we look like California raisins,” says Klein. “We do laps together and hang out, then once we’re all pruned up, we’ll finally call it quits. The kids love it, and they definitely keep us busy.” For the stars of TLC’s The Little Couple (Tuesdays at 9/8c), seeing their two children, Will, 7, and Zoey, 6, enjoying carefree summer days has been particularly joyful given the hard times they have overcome as a family. In 2013 Arnold was diagnosed with stage 3 choriocarcinoma, a rare form of uterine cancer that she developed following a failed pregnancy, just as she and Klein…

‘THERE ARE A LOT OF PHOTOS— THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT MAKE A HOUSE A HOME’ —JOANNA GARCIA SWISHER When JoAnna Garcia Swisher and her husband, former pro baseball player Nick Swisher, started house hunting last year, they knew they needed a family-friendly space for their daughters Emerson, 4, and Sailor, 1. The six-bedroom, six-bathroom early-20th-century Los Angeles house they purchased fit the bill. “It felt like a warm and inviting place, and the neighborhood is walkable,” says the Kevin (Probably) Saves the World actress. “It really catered to the lifestyle that we want to raise our girls around.” Garcia Swisher, 38, who is so passionate about decor that she is going to school for interior design, reconfigured the space so her daughters had bigger bedrooms to…

Did you have to do research for your role as CIA analyst Mandy Ellis? We have former Navy SEAL Tier One operatives on-set who were able to give me insight. However, I can neither confirm nor deny whether I’ve spoken to someone in the CIA. What is the vibe like on-set? It’s a blast. David [Boreanaz] is such a great leader on-set. Even though a lot of us in the cast have little kids, we’re so thrilled to be at work. How would you spend a day off from work? I’d start with a workout, then I’d take my son [Blues, 2] to the park or the zoo. Lunch with friends would be nice, followed by a nap. What’s the last thing your son did that made you laugh? He…

Ivana Trump, on Good Morning America to promote her new book Raising Trump, said it with a laugh as she talked about how she has a “direct number” to her ex: “I’m basically first Trump wife, okay? I’m first lady, okay?” But in the White House, it was no joke. In a break with traditional First Lady decorum, Melania Trump’s spokeswoman issued a sharp retort: “There is clearly no substance to this statement from an ex; this is unfortunately only attention-seeking and selfserving noise.” In the book, Ivana, whose 14-year marriage to Donald ended when he had an affair with his second wife, Marla Maples, writes that she has “no problems at all” with Melania; she refers to Maples, meanwhile, as “the showgirl.” It was all too much for Real…

After three decades of working in Hollywood, says Heather Graham, some roles stand out: “Boogie Nights of course. And Austin Powers and The Hangover. Mostly I think I’m lucky I’ve never had to work in a 9-to-5 job!” Now the actress, 47, is starring on Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders as Judalon Smyth, the mistress of L. Jerome Oziel, therapist to brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez. “It’s a dark story,” she says of the famous murder trial of two wealthy siblings who shot and killed their parents. (Smyth was the one who told the police there were audio tapes from therapy sessions where they admitted to the crime.) But Graham hopes the show sheds light on what may have motivated them: sexual abuse. “To have a show…

No.1 Pink, Beautiful Trauma The grand and, yes, absolutely beautiful return of an icon MUSIC POP Pink’s triumphant LP contains collaborations with artists ranging from pop savant Max Martin to the singular rapper Eminem, but she unites these diverse stylistic strains with her boundless charisma and a cohesive vision. Emotional ballads (“But We Lost It”) and poppy kiss-offs (Em’s “Revenge”) flow into one another seamlessly. She tackles her subject matter boldly too, from forceful political statements (“What About Us”) to ballads about the disillusionment of adulthood (“Barbies”). (And, perhaps reflecting her 11-year marriage to Carey Hart, the love songs have a unique flavor as well.)Beautiful Trauma affirms that, even after nearly two decades in the pop sphere, Pink remains one of the genre’s most empathetic and vital voices.(Oct. 13)…

BROOKE SHIELDS’ MANHATTAN TOWNHOUSE THE ACTRESS DECORATES WITH STYLE AND SUBSTANCE Every room in Brooke Shields’s four-story New York City town house has what the actress calls “a cherry”—that “one thing I really didn’t want to live without, the one thing I splurged on.” In the living room it’s the stone mantel Shields and her architect rescued from the Plaza Hotel after the property was refurbished in the mid-2000s; in the dining room it’s the hand-blocked wallpaper; and in her light-filled kitchen it’s the custom-made marble- topped dining table, inspired by a baker’s cart that Shields, 52, spotted in Europe. “If you look underneath it,” she points out, “you can see it’s never moving. It’s bolted to the ground.” Shields searched for years before finding the historic five-bedroom house…

Last Girls’ Night Out I went to Disneyland with some of my closest friends, but it wasn’t a night out; I just spent the whole day there. I like all the rides except for It’s a Small World; that I won’t do. The song gets stuck in your head. Last Indulgence Does it count if it’s for someone else? I went halfsies with a friend and got a Rolex for one of my other friends for his birthday. Sometimes it’s nice to indulge in other people, you know? Last Time I Was Recognized I had some fans outside the hotel yesterday, which was nice. Sometimes they’ll say that I saved their life, which is incredible and unfathomable, so whenever they say that, it means a lot. Last Wardrobe Malfunction I…

Rhonda Casto was in good spirits. On the morning of March 16, 2009, the 23-yearold aspiring model handed off her 9-month-old daughter Ava to her mother and set out with Ava’s dad, Steve Nichols, to Eagle Creek Trail, a popular hiking path with steep drop-offs along Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge. By early evening, a rescue crew responding to a 911 call from Nichols found Casto’s lifeless body at the bottom of a ravine. Says Casto’s mother, Julia Simmons: “I had a bad feeling.” As it turned out, so did the police. In February 2015, almost six years after Casto’s fatal fall, Nichols was arrested and charged with murder. Police alleged that Nichols, 42, pushed his girlfriend off the 100-ft. cliff so he could collect the $1 million in life insurance…

While working as a political reporter for WRIC-TV in Richmond, Va., in 1992, Carlson had her first encounter with sexual harassment in the workplace. It was chilling, and completely unexpected. I was in a car with a cameraman I didn’t know well, miles from the station, when suddenly he started talking about how much he’d enjoyed touching my breasts when he put the microphone under my blouse. He continued his graphic monologue the entire way. Completely alone with him, in rural Virginia, I felt sheer terror. When we got back to the station, I was still trembling so badly my fingers were bouncing off the computer keys as I tried to file my story. . . . What I remember most is how much I didn’t want to tell anyone,…
