She has Chris Martin’s stamp of approval— and he sings backup on her LP. “He was a bit of a mentor,” Lipa says of the Coldplay frontman. “When we spent time in the studio, he was like, ‘Be kind to yourself.’ Which is about being present and remembering the reason I’m doing this.” She spent her teen years in Kosovo with her dad, Albanian rock star Dukagjin Lipa. “My dad always made sure there was music around, so it was inevitable I fell into this as a career,” says Lipa, who was signed to a label after putting out covers on YouTube. “I listened to what my parents liked—Bowie, Dylan—and then Pink and Nelly Furtado.” She’s got ink. “My first tattoo was meaningful, and I wanted to get more, but…

THE RAPE FOUNDATION Raped at age 19, Union has worked tirelessly to promote awareness and funding for survivors and first responders. “The people who first respond to a sexual assault, they set you on a course, either self-loathing and shame or for healing and justice,” she says. “It’s so critical to help put people on the path to wholeness.” therapefoundation.org ERIN’SLAW & THE BRADY CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE “They are woven into the same fabric,” says Margulies of both causes. Erin’s Law, which requires sexual abuse prevention education in schools, “is about ensuring our children are taught to protect themselves,” she adds. “And 90 percent of Americans support improving the background-check system for guns.

SUMMER 1976 On June 18 a 23-year-old woman is raped by a man wearing only a mask and a T-shirt at her home in Rancho Cordova, east of down town Sacramento. FEB.2,1978 After taunting his first victim with a phone call, the rapist—who’s now attacked as many as 30 women—moves on to murder, fatally shooting Brian and Katie Maggiore, who are walking their dog in Rancho Cordova. NOVEMBER 1978 Though police don’t know it yet, the attacker has committed 41 rapes and two murders in two years, and evidence is mounting. DECEMBER ’78–DECEMBER ’79 Police find three pieces of notebook paper near the home of a rape victim—an architectural-type drawing of a neighborhood and a rant against a sixth-grade teacher. Despite the clues, the killing continues with Dr. Robert Offerman…

For the past several years, Catherine Oxenberg had been unable to shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right with her oldest daughter, India. Ever since the 26-year-old had become more deeply involved in a controversial self improvement program called Nxivm (pronounced NEX-i-um), “she seemed distant and burdened,” says Oxenberg, “like there was nobody home.” Her fears were confirmed last April after a meeting with her friend Bonnie Piesse, 34, who’d recently left Nxivm herself. “You need to save your daughter,” Piesse told her. “You need to save India.” By the time Piesse had finished detailing India’s role in what Oxenberg calls a “secret sisterhood” within Nxivm, the former Dynasty actress says she felt “sick to [her] stomach” and desperate to free her daughter. For nearly 20 years, an estimated…

Brendan McDonough will always remember the final words he exchanged with his friend and firefighting mentor Eric Marsh. “Catch you later,” McDonough said. “This side or the other, brother,” replied Marsh with a smile. At the time “I thought nothing of it,” McDonough later wrote in his 2016 memoir. “It was an everyday thing to say.” That day, June 30, 2013, would lead to the greatest loss of firefighters in the United States since 9/11. The Yarnell Hill Fire, ignited by a lightning strike in central Arizona, killed 19 elite wildland firefighters, known as hotshots, when strong winds and freak conditions caused the 2,000-plus-degree wildfire to change direction and sweep over them with unprecedented speed. All but one member of the experienced 20-man Granite Mountain Hotshot crew—McDonough, then 21, was…

‘I LIKE TO KEEP FLAVORS SIMPLE. IN ITS NATURAL STATE, FOOD ALREADY TASTES GOOD’ —LAILA ALI Laila Ali could have easily grown up without ever picking up a skillet or spatula. As a kid, neither of her parents—famed late boxer Muhammad Ali and his third wife, Veronica—spent time in the kitchen, preferring to rely on personal chefs or restaurants for their meals. “I don’t remember my dad ever cooking—just eating!” she says. “He would pick me up from school and take me to the burger joint on the corner. They knew him there, and they’d call out, ‘Hey, Champ!’ when we walked in. Burgers were my dad’s favorite.” But Ali, now 39, also “loved to eat,” and took matters into her own hands. “I was always hungry, so I would…

You have a guy who almost fancied himself like Steve Jobs, but then his daughter dies and he realizes what matters most in life. That element really drew me in. Would you consider yourself a techie?

When Millicent Simmonds landed the role of Rose, a young deaf girl in the 1920s, in the new movie Wonderstruck, she was grateful that director Todd Haynes chose to cast a deaf actress in the part. “There are moments in the movie that only deaf people will truly understand,” says the Utah native, 14, who lost her hearing as a baby as a result of a medication overdose and now speaks American Sign Language. Simmonds, who stars alongside Julianne Moore, has earned rave reviews and is using her newfound platform to advocate for the deaf community. “I want to see more deaf people have the opportunity to become actors,” she says. “And I want [hearing people] to know that it’s okay to learn ASL.”…

On the night of Oct. 1 country singer Chris Young was enjoying the music backstage at Las Vegas’s Route 91 Harvest Festival when all hell broke loose. A shooter opened fire during tourmate Jason Aldean’s set, ultimately killing 58 people in what would become the largest mass shooting in recent U.S. history. “It was far and away the most terrifying night of my life,” says Young, who like thousands of others ran from the carnage. Days later and still shell-shocked, Young had to decide whether to move ahead with a previously scheduled outdoor concert. “I decided that the best thing would be to go out there and play again,” says the singer, 32, taking his cues from others like Aldean returning to the stage. “My decision was and is going…

Singing Since Childhood Dlamini, 49, grew up in South Africa during a part heid, when racist government policies kept whites and blacks separate. “You had to leave the country to freely express yourself through art or music,” she says. “You couldn’t even perform in the theater because of the racism.” Dlamini and her family formed their own band at church, where her father was a minister: “We made our own fun performing there.” Feeling the Lion King Love Dlamini first came to Broadway at age 18 with a South African show called Sarafina and loved it so much she never left. But it wasn’t always easy. “There were no roles for someone from South Africa,” she says. “Finally The Lion King came, right on time.” After 20 years as an…

‘I REALLY FEEL LIKE MY BLOG IS THE NICEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET’ —DEB PERELMAN For 11 years, Internet users looking for delicious, fuss-free recipes with a side of stunning food photography have been flocking to Smitten Kitchen.

As it turns out, Deb Perelman, the 41-year-old New Yorker behind the site, stumbled onto her career accidentally. “It started because I’m really picky, honestly,” she says. “I would see a recipe online that had hundreds of positive reviews, then I’d make it, and I just didn’t like it.

Last Time I Was Starstruck I went to the U.S.Open andwatched Roger Federer. I’m a humongous fan, and my seats were really close, but Iwas literally afraid to look over at him.

Last Girls’ Night Out I forced my friends to comemeet me for a glass ofwine at like 5 p.m. It ended up being a rager until 7:30.We make it count. Itwas short but itwas a big…

‘Kudos to all the women who have come forward’ Judith Young via e-mail For October30, 2017 Harvey Weinstein As terrible and unacceptable as this is, I applaud these strong, brave women for coming forward. I truly hope justice is served for them. Lauren Leigh via people.com People need to stop blaming the victims. They did not come forward sooner, even the most powerful ones, because they’re victims. You cannot blame them for being scared, traumatized and unable to speak up when we live in a society where they’re being blamed, now that they are sharing their heartbreaking stories! Sarah Bennett via people.com This story just gets more and more disgusting, and the fact that a whole industry let it happen is unbelievable. Elizabeth A. via people.com Anna Faris It sounds…

What was it like returning to set after season 1 became such a phenomenon? MATARAZZO It was like a family reunion, but there was a lot of stress because of how high the stakes are. SCHNAPP There was a lot of pressure to keep things secret. Everyone was always worried there was a mole on-set! BROWN The show blew up, which was unexpected. On season 1 we were like, “We’re going to try this, and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.” But it did! How do you stay grounded despite being surrounded by fans?

Why I Care PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT GIVING BACK My sister Liza was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago. Thankfully we’re pretty mindful about health in our family, and we caught it in stage 1. She’s now in remission, but the scary thing is that she could be the one in three people diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer who later develop metastatic breast cancer (MBC), an incurable form of cancer that spreads from the breast to other parts of the body such as the brain, bone or liver. There have been so many advances made toward early detection and screening, but very little funding goes towards stage 4 cancer research. I teamed up with Novartis for their Kiss This 4MBCcampaign to raise awareness and funds through an easy call to…

Margaret Wardlow was only 12 in 1977—the kind of sixth-grader who turned somersaults in the street outside the condo she shared with her divorced mom, Dolores— but the self-described “little crime buff” had fearlessly devoured every word written that year about the East Area Rapist terrorizing Sacramento with attacks since 1976 on 26 women inside their homes. “I would read the articles three times over,” Wardlow says, “and I’d think, ‘Why can’t they catch this guy?’” So, in the dead of night on Nov. 10, 1977, when she was a woken by a masked intruder who blindfolded her and bound her wrists, his next move was no mystery. Before proceeding to rape a woman in another room, the attacker would place plates on the other victim’s body and threaten: ‘If…

She was one of the darlings of the 2012 London Olympics.
