When it came to naming their baby girl on the way, Robin Thicke and girlfriend April Love Geary turned to the singer’s 7-year-old son (with ex-wife Paula Patton) for some help. “Julian came up with the name Mia,” says Thicke. “I suggested the middle name Love after her mommy.” On Jan. 20 friends and family joined Geary, 23, and Thicke, 40, for a pink-themed baby shower planned and designed by Vanessa Michelle Co. and A1 Party Rental.

The Oscars often attract controversy, but this year they’re making headlines for a good reason: a relatively diverse group of nominees, including some record-setters. “It’s the most humbling thing,” says Yance Ford, the first out trans director to get a nod, for the Netflix documentary feature Strong Island. Mudbound’s Rachel Morrison, the first female cinematographer ever nominated, says “it’s a shame” women have been historically left out, “but I’ll take it, and hopefully it’s going to pave the way for many, many more.” The 90th annual Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, air live March 4 on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.…

‘IT’S GOING TO BE A BRILLIANT ADVENTURE AND NEW CHAPTER FOR OUR FAMILY’—BINDI IRWIN Terri Irwin had been married to her husband, Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin, for nearly six years when “suddenly one evening, he burst through the door and said, ‘We’ve got to have children! Who do we leave all this to? Who’s going to carry on?’” she recalls. “I go, ‘You do know just because you have kids, it doesn’t mean they’re going to do what you want to do.’ But he told me then, ‘Oh no, they will, they definitely will.’” Turns out, Steve was right. From an early age the couple’s two children, Bindi, 19, and Robert (pictured left), 14, have shared their parents’ passion for wildlife, and now, 11 years after Steve’s sudden death…

Justin Timberlake, Man of the Woods A rhythmic ride down back roads with a man whose very name sounds like a forest MUSIC POP If a tree falls in the forest this week, chances are no one will hear it over the smoothed-out synth, smoky guitar and bumping bass of Timberlake’s latest offering. For his fifth studio album—the title is a reference to the ancient origins of son Silas’s name—the guy who brought back sexy gets back to nature, if only with the titles of tracks like “Wave” and “Breeze off the Pond.” The theme and sound find true north with standouts like bluesy love song “Morning Light” (featuring Alicia Keys) and the throbbing Chris Stapleton…

KATE MEGHAN…

Fifteen years ago five men broke television ground with a lively makeover show, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. “For me, it was the first representation of ‘gay’ on TV,” says Antoni Porowski, who was so inspired by the show’s resident food expert, Ted Allen, that he became his protégé. Now Porowski, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, Tan France and Jonathan Van Ness star in a Netfix revamp of the hit—but this time the show will focus its transformative efforts (ranging from healthy diets to home decor) exclusively on men from the South. In addition to tips on skin care and closet clean-outs, the lifestyle pros are tackling the deeply embedded cultural clashes that plague our nation in the Trump era. “It’s so easy to stand on opposite ends with our…

Standing tall last week in a Lansing, Mich., courtroom, Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman stared down Larry Nassar, the ex-U.S.A. gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor. “You are so sick that I can’t even comprehend how angry I feel when I think of you,” Raisman told Nassar, who, over the course of his 30-year tenure, had sexually abused her—and more than 160 other girls—under the guise of medical treatments. “The tables have turned, Larry Nassar. Weare not going any where.” Thanks in part to Raisman and other victims who read their statements, neither is Nassar, 54, who was sentenced to 40-175 years for multiple sex crimes. (He’s already serving 60 years for child pornography charges.) “I signed your death warrant,” pronounced Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who following seven days of victims’…

You play an elderly version of Kenney, who died in 1980 at the age of 33. What drew you to the role? At 74, it’s kind of age appropriate for me to play a ghost. Being able to bring him back from the dead and talk was such a free ticket to have fun. Were you a fan of the magazine in the ’70s? During that period, I was touring the country doing my own comedy music act. I would read it all the time, and I think it very much had an influence on me. Did you ever meet Kenney when he was alive? Very briefly. But I knew almost everyone who worked at the Lampoon at the time, like Michael O’Donoghue and Anne Beatts. What do you like…

Though she has stayed out of the spotlight while awaiting the arrival of her first child, Kylie Jenner, 20, is prepped for motherhood. “She’s been anxious but excited,” says an insider. “She’s nervous about the delivery and hopes for an easy birth.” She has already chosen a name and is finishing a “pink, pink, pink” nursery and babyproofing her Hidden Hills, Calif., home. Though the baby’s dad, rapper Travis Scott, 27, is being supportive, the insider says they have no plans for marriage—and Jenner won’t be in any rush to get back to public life once her daughter is here: “She’s just looking forward to quiet time with the baby. She has matured a lot. She will be a great mom.” How Her Family Is Helping “Kylie is asking…

Last Time I Sang Out Loud Ohmy goodness, I sang at the Hollywood Bowl, and it was the event of a lifetime. I sang “The Candy Man” from Willy Wonka, and it blew my mind. Imagine Giancarlo in front of a mirror in his bathroom, practicing his song—that was totally me. Last DIY Project How about staining my deck? Of course, I think I can do it better than anybody I could hire because that’s what men think. But I made a big mistake, and our nanny’s mother, who is 70, came out to fix it. She’s now my handyman! Last Time I Cried The last time I really boo-hooed was with my oldest daughter, Shayne, who is 21. For the fourth year, she asked to come with me on…

As a drama student at the UNC School of the Arts, Ferrin scored a bit part on Dawson’s Creek. “I wasn’t supposed to be doing any work while I was in school, but I was restless,” says the Georgia native, now 38. Later she earned two Daytime Emmy nods on As the World Turns and now stars in HBO’s thriller Mosaic. But it was her role as a syphilis patient on the period drama The Knick that proved infectious to fans: “People will say, ‘Are you the girl from The Knick? ’Then they get freaked out because I was not a good girl on that show.”…

A15-year-old boy faces charges of murder after shooting 16 students Jan. 23 at Marshall County High School (left) in rural Benton, Ky. Bailey Nicole Holt, 15, died at the scene; Preston Ryan Cope, also 15, died as he was airlifted to a hospital. The suspect, who is not being named due to his age, walked into school with a handgun at 8:57 a.m. and began shooting without apparent targets. While at least three victims remain in critical condition with gunshot wounds to the head, devastated students, parents and family members are struggling to come to terms with what happened. Known to her family as an “old soul,” Holt “would’ve been the shooter’s friend in a heartbeat if she knew he needed someone to talk to,” her mother, Secret, told…

On New Year’s Eve, Neil Diamond braved the subzero chill to lead a million Times Square revelers through “Sweet Caroline,” his rousing 1969 smash. Good times never seemed so good for the music icon—this past year he packed stadiums across the globe for his 50th Anniversary Tour, and 2018 looked just as bright. Dates in Australia were booked for the spring, and he was tapped to receive a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for his half-century reign as a 130-million-record-selling singer, songwriter and entertainment powerhouse. But just three weeks after his New Year’s Eve victory lap, and two days before his 77th birthday, Diamond stunned fans by canceling the remainder of his tour and announcing his immediate retirement from live concerts. The decision, his team wrote in a statement, came “with…

TAN FRANCE (FASHION) The British-born France, 34, is on a mission to refresh wardrobes (buh-bye, oversize plaid shirts and jean shorts!).“We’re showing people how to shop,” he says. “We’re in these small towns that may not even have a Walmart. But you don’t need to spend a thousand dollars [to look good].” KARAMO BROWN (CULTURE) “After the last election I lost a bit of hope,” says Brown, 37, who was the first openly gay black man on MTV’s Real World: Philadelphia in 2004. “But life is like a slingshot. You have to pull back so you can soar to greatness.” As the designated self-help coach on the show, “I kill it with the emotional makeovers!” BOBBY BERK (INTERIOR DESIGN) Berk, 36, grew up in Texas, where “I believed that being…

As a Hollywood divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser has seen her share of ugliness—including one client who fed laxatives to his ex-wife’s cat so it would soil her pristine white condo. “There have been some thrown water glasses. There was once a stiletto heel that got stuck in our conference room door,” she says. Still, the $850-an-hour lawyer famous for handling celebrity breakups says she tries to steer her clients away from fighting dirty. “Mediation makes the most sense in almost every divorce,” she says of her go-to method for dividing assets behind closed doors instead of going to court. Now Wasser, 49, divorced herself with two sons (Luke, 12, and Jack, 8), wants to make her expertise accessible via her website itsovereasy.com, which guides users through the legal system. “Divorce…

Sheri Farmer can still picture her daughter Lori boarding the bus near their suburban Tulsa home for two weeks at Girl Scout camp. The bubbly 8-year-old was wearing a T-shirt and shorts and carrying a Samsonite suitcase stuffed with clothes, her camera and a Father’s Day card she planned to give to her dad, Dr. Charles “Bo” Farmer, when he and Sheri visited the following weekend. “We hugged,” Sherisays. “She got on, I saw her in the window, and I just waved and said, ‘I love you.’” What happened that very night at Camp Scott, near Locust Grove, Okla., would haunt the state for years: In the darkness of June 13, 1977, Lori and two other Scouts—Michele Guse, 9, and Denise Milner, 10—were raped and murdered, their strangled and mutilated…

The latest news from Goop is... We’re launching bath salts. I take a bath every single night. I got really into taking them when I was 22 and shooting Emma in London. I fell in love with the ritual of it—lighting a candle and having a cup of tea or a whiskey, depending on my day. Taking time for myself is... Non negotiable. When I’m taking a bath, my kids [Apple, 13, and Moses, 11] are welcome to come in and chat with me, but I need that time, and so I just take it. I feel like we’re all so busy, and it’s just a moment to daydream and not be on your phone. Parenting these days... Is pretty great. They’re really good people. They know how much I…
