On Friday, May 18, a gunman opened fire at Santa Fe High School in Texas, killing 10 people—eight students and two teachers. On page 126 we tell the stories of the 10 Santa Fe High School victims, all casualties of an American epidemic of gun violence that has now yielded this awful statistic from the Washington Post : “More people have been killed at schools this year than have been killed while serving in the military.” If you would like to contact your representative in Washington, D.C., and demand to know what they’re doing to keep our schools and neighborhoods safe, we’ve provided contact information for every member of Congress at people.com/call-congress .…

“Suiting overall—whether an actual suit or a men’s style blazer fitted as a dress—is a powerful yet feminine look,” says Cristina Ehrlich, who styled Tina Fey and Mandy Moore (pictured here).…

The new film explores how her parents’ troubles devastated Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s only daughter, Bobbi Kristina “Krissy” Brown—who herself died at 22, six months after being found unconscious in a bathtub under eerily similar circumstances to her mom’s death. “She hated her life,” says Houston’s sister-in-law and Whitney executive producer Pat Houston, during her documentary interview. It was a life troubled from the very start. In one scene a close family friend, Ellen “Aunt Bae” White, describes how Krissy arrived on her doorstep as a newborn. Whitney had allegedly checked herself out of the hospital early and showed up “hunched over” asking her to “bathe” the baby. A tearful White claims that Houston didn’t return for months and that Krissy went on to…

He’ll be a bachelor no more: Hugh Grant, 57, is getting ready to tie the knot with his girlfriend of six years, Swedish television producer Anna Eberstein, 39, according to a notice the couple filed with their local registry office in London. It will be the first marriage for Grant, who famously dated Elizabeth Hurley for 13 years but never wed. He and Eberstein are already parents to a son, John Mungo, 5, a 2-year-old daughter and a third child who arrived this spring. The Paddington 2 star also shares son Felix Chang, 5, and daughter Tabitha Xaio Xi, 6, with ex Tinglan Hong. Grant told People in January that fatherhood is “the nicest thing that’s ever happened to me. . . . Suddenly you love someone more than…

EVAN RACHEL WOOD Creative. There’s a joy and childlike quality to her because she likes to play. She’s such an incredible actress. LOVE Single. I was with someone for a long time; we broke up last year. I’m finding myself again. I hope to get to a place where I can see love again. FEMALE Women’s March. I went in L.A. last year.

Did you learn any parenting tips from Claire? Yes, especially early on. I was getting wisdom from all these really funny writers who had kids older than mine. As a working parent, did you ever suffer from mom guilt? It’s been lessened by the fact that I work on a show in L.A. with notoriously fantastic hours. Also, I tell my kids, “Some moms are deployed right now. What if I were in Afghanistan?” They kind of roll their eyes, like, “Okay, whatever.” What’s the hardest part of being a parent? When my kids aren’t doing well or have challenges, I just want to fix things! It’s very hard to let them go through those processes on their own, to let them be resilient. What will you miss most…

Judy Blundell The High Season NOVEL When a glamorous art-world heiress descends on Long Island’s peaceful North Fork for the summer, the beloved director of a local museum is suddenly fighting for her job, her family and her house. YA veteran Blundell’s first novel for adults is a mesmerizing, head-spinning—and sometimes madcap-hilarious—tale of haves and have-nots. Populated by artists, a billionaire and his aimless daughter, scheming teenagers and backstabbing adults, it’s the perfect beach read even if there’s no sand in sight. Aja Gabel The Ensemble NOVEL This portrait of four wildly talented young classical musicians explores the emotional intimacy Jana, Henry, Brit and Daniel share in their string quartet. Together they face endless practices, failure, marriage, divorce, loss, parenthood and, eventually, success. Gabel’s pitch-perfect ensemble proves…

Thomas Markle Sr. was set to walk his daughter down the aisle, but in the days leading up to the ceremony he made headlines after admitting he had staged paparazzi photos. What followed was several days of back-and-forth as Markle, who lives in Mexico, initially walked back his decision not to attend and then ultimately announced that his health would keep him from traveling to the U.K. In the end the former television lighting director watched the ceremony as millions of others did: on TV. He told TMZ, “The service was beautiful, and it’s history,” adding, “My baby girl is a duchess, and I love her so much.”…

For British jewelry designer Claudia Bradby, getting ready for the wedding was almost as much fun as the day itself. From hat fittings to hair and beauty consultations with her very own royal glam squad, creating her final look was months in the making. As guests of Prince Harry—it was Claudia’s husband, broadcaster Tom Bradby, who conducted Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2010 engagement interview—the Bradbys found it “just wonderful to be part of this historic moment,” she says. A Hat Fit for a Queen “We tried on about 20 hats and decided that a classic wide-brimmed hat suited the long lines of the jumpsuit,” says Bradby. “I think its beauty is in its simplicity,” adds milliner to the Queen Rachel Trevor-Morgan. ‘I can’t quite believe it happened! It…

Fans of The Bachelor can breathe a collective sigh of relief. Becca Kufrin, who garnered a fiercely loyal following after viewers saw her engagement to Arie Luyendyk Jr. end with a bombshell breakup on national television, has found love—and a fiancé—as the new star of The Bachelorette. “It feels so good to say it,” says Kufrin, 28, who is breaking traditional show protocol by revealing her engagement news ahead of the May 28 premiere. “I still pinch myself.” Barefoot and beaming—but ringless until the finale airs—Kufrin has come full circle from the devastating moment when Luyendyk jilted her. In fact Kufrin says she has forgiven the man who broke her heart—especially after going through her own highly emotional reality-TV season, this time as the star.…

What’s the One Thing I Need to Update My Look? A vivid lip color, like the orange-red hue makeup artist Kay Montano applied on Solo: A Star Wars Story star Thandie Newton, called Lady Danger. (It’s one of M.A.C Cosmetics’s top sellers and looks good on everyone.) What’s the Best New Bronzer? We’re loving the new one from Marc Jacobs Beauty, because the matte finish looks really natural on an array of skin tones. “It’s more forgiving than shimmery bronzers,” says the brand’s makeup artist Hung Vanngo, who used it on Gisele Bündchen. Is There a Nail Polish That Won’t Chip While I’m on Vacation? “OPI Infinite Shine is the next-best thing to a gel manicure—I once went chip-free for 10 days,” says nail artist Miss Pop. Just be…

Congratulations on your Tony nomination! How did you find out? I was dropping my daughter off at kindergarten with my husband [Sam Handel, 41]. We waited until we got out of the school before there were any celebrations. What’s been the biggest challenge? I’m onstage nearly the whole time, and if I’m not, I’m six feet offstage doing a costume change with 50 people. These big musicals, man, they are no joke. How do you spend your downtime? I don’t usually live in the city, so I like to sneak home to my house in the woods and plant something in the garden. But mostly rest and not talk or sing any more than I need to. Do you communicate using hand signals? One day I did. I got…

JANET JACKSON RULES THE BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS Las Vegas, May 20 Janet Jackson made history at the annual awards show, where she hit the stage to perform a high-energy medley of her classics “Nasty,” “If” and “Throb” before becoming the first black woman to accept the Icon Award. “I believe for all of our challenges, we live at a glorious moment in history,” Jackson, 52, said in her speech. “It’s a moment when, at long last, women have made it clear that we will no longer be controlled, manipulated or abused. I stand with those women and with those men equally outraged who support us in heart and mind.” CLOSING OUT THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL Cannes, May 8-19 From A-list film premieres to glamorous multimillion-dollar fund-raising events, the stars…

‘SHE’S REALLY CALM, PEACEFUL AND CONTENT. THAT MAKES MY JOB EASY’ —JAMIE LYNN SPEARS Jamie Lynn Spears is adjusting to life as a mom of two. “Things are getting back to normal now,” says the Kentwood, La.-based country singer-songwriter, 27. Already mom to 9-year-old daughter Maddie (from a previous relationship), Spears, with husband Jamie Watson, welcomed daughter Ivey Joan on April 11. “I am breastfeeding, so she is pretty on-demand with that,” Spears says of her baby, who recently got hungry at her big sister’s softball game. “I sat in the car at the ballpark and breastfed. I was like, ‘If one of Maddie’s friends sees me, she’s gonna be so livid.’ You gotta do what you gotta do!”…

‘WE HUNG OUT WITH HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE WERE LIKE, ‘YEAH, HE LOOKS LIKE A MILES’ ” —JOHN LEGEND John Legend and Chrissy Teigen welcomed their second child, son Miles Theodore, on May 16. “We are drowning in his little peeps and nuzzles,” Lip Sync Battle host Teigen, 32, posted on Instagram on May 20. Arriving a few weeks ahead of his June due date, the newborn—whose name is inspired by jazz icon Miles Davis—joins 2-year-old big sister Luna Simone. “Every name we give to our kids will have a little bit of musical history to it,” Legend, 39, said on the Billboard Music Awards red carpet. Teigen has rebounded from labor in trademark fashion—sharing a pic of herself in postpartum underwear—and the new parents couldn’t…

The number of shootings—like the one last week at Santa Fe High School in Texas—seems to be increasing exponentially every year. I think we’re all feeling really powerless about what’s happening. Wear Orange is a symbolic event that’s part of the fight for meaningful gun-safety legislation; it’s dedicated to honoring the lives of people who are affected by gun violence. It started after the death of Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old student who was shot after school in 2013. I’m not trying to take away anyone’s guns, but I do feel that the government is supposed to be by the people, for the people. Are we on the side of our kids, or are we on the side of people getting easy access to guns, no matter what their mental…

The Handmaid’s Tale and Marvel’s Runaways actress comes from a famous Hollywood family: She’s the niece of Keith Carradine and the late David Carradine, and her dad, Robert, starred in 1984’s Revenge of the Nerds. “When my husband, Coby Brown, put that together, he was like, ‘Oh my God,’ ” she says. At 43, the mom of two is in demand: “Everyone says that after 40 the parts dry up. I’m finding so many more now.”…

John McCain The Restless Wave A pensive and personal rebuttal to Trump’s #MAGA, the Republican senator’s farewell memoir argues for American greatness more profound than a slogan.

Kate’s Post-Baby Return One month after welcoming Prince Louis, Princess Kate stepped out in a coat by Alexander McQueen (the designer of her own wedding dress!). “She and William were saying how thrilled they were to have their children there taking part,” says a Palace source. While the family’s nanny Maria Turrion Borrallo helped corral the kids with the promise of Peppa Pig and Smarties, Charlotte did some wrangling of her own, telling a fellow young bridesmaid, “No, you can’t go yet, we have to wait until we are asked!” Royal Roles Meghan and Harry upheld the royal tradition of filling their bridal party with a handful of young guests. In addition to 4-year-old George and 3-year-old Charlotte, the eight other members included several of…

Really, Patrick, it’s as if I have three boys!” We were at the foot of the staircase in Kensington Palace, keeping out of the way as William and Harry played an elaborate and noisy game of hand-to-hand combat. William had the upper hand, but his little brother showed no sign of throwing in the towel. He shared a lot of his tactics with the [family’s] Jack Russell, especially the growling. The game had just been interrupted by Prince Charles, and soon he was heavily involved in the melee. It was a happy picture. But Diana raised a skeptical eyebrow and made the comment about having three boys. I could see her point. For most of her royal life, Princess Diana was effectively a single mother. From school runs to…

“Quintessentially British” Meghan and Harry chose California-born, London-based pastry chef Claire Ptak of Violet Cakes to create a lemon sponge cake with elderflower syrup (made from elderflowers grown on the Queen’s Sandringham estate) and lemon curd (with lemons from Italy’s Amalfi coast), covered in a Swiss meringue buttercream frosting. Ptak and a team of six spent five days crafting it in Buckingham Palace. “The texture is really lovely, and the flavor is quintessentially spring and British,” she says. The Queen herself served leftover cake and Champagne to guests the next morning.…

Alden Ehrenreich TAKES ON AN ICON Soon after getting cast as the young Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story, Alden Ehrenreich sought out guidance from the guy who made the cynical space cowboy a movie icon: Harrison Ford. He got perhaps the most Ford-like advice there is to get from the laconic star. “He said, ‘Tell them I told you everything you need to know but that you can’t tell anyone anything,’ ” Ehrenreich says. “It was really nice to walk onto the movie knowing that I had his blessing.” The 28-year-old rising star is now piloting the Millennium Falcon, getting into scrapes with Chewbacca and learning the ropes of the interplanetary smuggling business in Solo, the first origin-story spinoff from the $9 billion Star Wars saga.…

For school-bus driver Rhonda Hart the morning of Friday May 18 began like countless others. Up in the early-morning hours, she’d left the house at 5 to begin her route long before the rest of the family was even awake. Now with the last school day of the year less than two weeks away, she was as excited as her students as she listened to them buzz about final report cards and summer plans. Pulling up to Santa Fe High School around 6:45 a.m., Hart was saying goodbye to the students piling out of the bus when she spotted her 14-year-old daughter Kimberly—who was skilled at American sign language and loved using it—walking on the sidewalk nearby. “I said, ‘Bye Kim! I love you!’ ” Hart, 36, recalls. “Then…

Besides the glamour and spectacle of the event itself, you have the surrounding family drama, the element of fantasy, the surprises unveiled on the big day, and, of course, the love story at the center of it all. The May 19 wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (now known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex) had all that and more—a modernization and expansion of the monarchy embodied by the bride herself, from the streamlined design of her dress to her Hollywood friends to her African-American mother and elements of the bride’s heritage folded so magically into the ceremony at Windsor Castle. The royal wedding became a celebration of family, tradition, inclusion and, most of all, love; and that’s why it has provided such a resonant escape during…

SIX YEARS AFTER the tumultuous life of Whitney Houston ended in tragedy, her family is shedding new light on the superstar’s troubles—and the trauma that may have haunted her since childhood. In Whitney, a documentary created with the support of Houston’s relatives that premiered in Cannes on May 16, her brother and a longtime assistant divulge what they say is the family’s darkest secret: that as a child Houston was allegedly sexually abused by her older cousin Dee Dee Warwick. Houston “used to say, ‘I wonder if I did something to make her think I wanted her,’ ” recalls assistant Mary Jones in an interview with the film’s director, Kevin Macdonald, discussing Houston’s ongoing turmoil over the alleged abuse. Jones recalls she told Houston not to think that way,…

Just a month after Nikki Bella and John Cena announced they were splitting up and calling off their May 5 wedding, the WWE stars seem to be on the road to reconciliation. “They’re basically back together,” says a source close to the couple, who were spotted out together in San Diego on May 19 for the first time since their April 15 split. “He’s been saying and doing all the right things. He’s poured his heart out to her, and she was more than ready to take him back once she heard what she needed to hear.” ‘I THINK HE’S MR. RIGHT. HE’S PRINCE CHARMING.

Born into Hollywood royalty, Chet Hanks—Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s older son—forged his own path as a rapper. This season he joined the cast of Empire, FOX’s drama about a musical dynasty, because he was drawn to the story line of “growing to be able to step out of a shadow . . . by embracing who you are.” After battling drug addiction, he is two years sober. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” says Chet, 27, who’s focused on raising his 5-year-old daughter—and acting. His dad’s best advice? “Show up on time, know your lines and be nice to everybody.”…

You play Ryan Reynolds’s girlfriend in Deadpool 2. What was it like to work with him again? He’s supernice and very funny. He’s so obviously good-looking—but he wears a mask.

It’s nice for us to get an opportunity to be together without the kids and the bustle of everyday life, which is so full when you have a family.

Killing Eve TV | DRAMA Sandra Oh’s outlandish, wickedly entertaining espionage thriller reaches its season 1 conclusion. What crazy twists can possibly be concocted for season 2?

‘This beautiful woman literally tripped and fell into my life. I fell into her life’ —PRINCE HARRY Meghan had a “happy and loving” childhood growing up in L.A., says a source. Harry “was a scamp” who loved to stir up trouble, says Princess Diana’s biographer Andrew Morton. “He was cheeky.” As Harry followed in big brother William’s footsteps at Eton College (arriving in 1998, a year after Diana’s death), Meghan attended L.A.’s Immaculate Heart school. She was the supportive “den mom,” a classmate says. Meghan’s parents, Thomas Markle Sr. and Doria Ragland, split when she was 2. Harry was 11 when his parents divorced. “We never saw our mother enough or our father enough,” Harry told ITV last year. An avid polo player, Harry struggled academically in school. Meghan…

Leslie Uggams has sung with Louis Armstrong, performed for Presidents and starred in Roots, one of the most-watched TV series of all time. But lately she’s getting recognized for playing the salty, sightless roommate of a certain motormouthed superhero—and she’s fine with that. “I love it, but who knew?” Uggams says with a laugh in her Manhattan apartment, which is filled with memorabilia from her seven-decade career. “Once I was able to tell people that I was in Deadpool, my son said, ‘Mom, I can’t believe this. This is big!’ Even my mailman said, ‘I told my son I know Blind Al.’ ” Of course, the 75-year-old actress and singer has been doing big things since before Marvel Comics began. Her no-nonsense character, who’s back trading zingers with Ryan…

Last Time I Was Late I’m always late, and people love to yell at me for it. I’ll say, “This is the earliest time I’ve ever been late!” It comes from being in a band with guys that you’re married to for 50 years. Last Time I Cried We had those three big storms here in Boston, and they took down every tree in my yard. I teared up because I also lost a playhouse my kids had growing up. But I cry a lot. I’m a big baby. Last Time I Danced I’ve got a clock on the wall, and every hour it plays this calliope tune. I tell everybody, “When you hear that clock go off, you have to stop what you’re doing and dance.” A full-on…
