The singer-actress, 22, plays a yeti in the animated Smallfoot (out Sept. 28). Any truth to the rumors that you will play Ariel in a live-action version of The Little Mermaid ? It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I was obsessed with it when I was a little kid. But it’s just a rumor, so we’ll see. How did getting your start on the Disney Channel prepare you for Hollywood? It was a crash course on all things in our industry. I learned how long it takes to shoot, what a producer does, camera angles. I got that valuable education at a very young age. Do you remember your first time acting? When I was 6, I was a silkworm in James and…

An 81-year-old Volunteer Donates $1 Million to a Hospital Neonatal Unit MOBILE, ALA. For Louis Mapp, 81, some of the best moments in life these days are all about baby burps and dirty diapers. For the past two years, Mapp has been volunteering to feed, cuddle and change the preemies in the neonatal intensive-care unit at USA Children’s and Women’s Hospital in Mobile, Ala. “One of the neatest things I’ve ever done is being around those precious babies,” says Mapp, a grandfather of eight and great-grandfather of two. Last month Mapp, who retired from banking in 1993, decided to give back more than just his time—and donated $1 million to the hospital for equipment and supplies. The one provision, says Mapp: “The nurses make the decision on how to…

Life has largely returned to normal for Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Shortly after picking up her sixth consecutive Emmy Award last September, the Veep star was diagnosed with breast cancer and spent several months in treatment. Now in recovery, she’s back to waking up at 5 a.m. to spend long days on the set of her hit show. But she doesn’t mind the early call time. “I’m feeling quite ready and delighted to focus on funny things, as opposed to things that aren’t quite so funny,” she says. After three rounds of chemotherapy followed by surgery, Louis-Dreyfus, 57, says she’s now “feeling well.” She’s also on a new mission to make sure the quality of care she received is available for everyone, especially those in financial straits. “It is not lost…

How do you play a character you detest? When Penn Badgley started portraying Joe Goldberg, the terrifying—and terrifyingly charming—stalker at the center of Lifetime’s new drama series You, he turned to religion. “I’d pray a lot. I’d meditate,” he says. “If anything, I was trying to understand the humanity of Joe because I hated him personally. The spiritual aspect helped me be unconcerned enough with [the show] having some kind of negative effect on me, my soul and my spirit.” Eleven years after Gossip Girl shot him to sudden stardom, Badgley, 31, says he now has a happier, healthier relationship with the spotlight. Six seasons on the CW teen drama and high-profile romances with Blake Lively and Zoë Kravitz made him famous, but the introspective actor was uncomfortable with…

Hand in hand Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin walked into a New York City courthouse on Sept. 13. When they left the building a short time after, the pop star, 24, and the model, 21, were husband and wife—a move that shocked fans eager for a big star-studded celebration. “It was easier for them to get the legal stuff out of the way now and to get married,” a Bieber source tells People. According to multiple reports, they didn’t sign a prenup. But the young stars—who started dating again in May though they’ve known each other for years—are still planning a religious ceremony, sources say, and they don’t consider themselves fully married until then. (On Sept. 14 Baldwin tweeted, “I’m not married yet!” then quickly deleted it.) Members of…

Engaged Dancing with the Stars pros Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson are sharing details of how he popped the question this summer. “I was more nervous asking her father for permission than anything,” says Chmerkovskiy, 32. A month later, during a June vacation in Italy, Chmerkovskiy took longtime girlfriend Johnson to St. Mark’s Square in Venice and asked her to slow dance. Recalls Johnson, 24: “Then he said, ‘I promised myself when I met the girl of my dreams, I’d take her to Venice and propose—and this is me proposing.’ ” Now busy with wedding plans, the couple are most looking forward to bringing their loved ones together for the celebration—and starting their own family someday as well. “Jenna’s going to be an incredible mother,”…

Burt Reynolds often described Sally Field as “the love of my life.” But in her new memoir, In Pieces, Field, 71, paints a far more complicated picture of their nearly five-year romance. The Smokey and the Bandit costars had an “instantaneous” connection when they met in 1976, she writes, but Reynolds, who died earlier this month, was controlling, jealous and often belittled her (he tried to dissuade her from starring in Norma Rae, which won her an Oscar in 1980, saying she “[wanted] to play a whore”). And that’s just the beginning of her memoir’s surprises. Field writes that she was sexually abused in childhood by her stepfather (“he would playfully try to push his tongue into my mouth”), watched her mother descend into alcohol abuse, struggled with anxiety…

After I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2014, I began to work with the Cancer Support Community. Last year it provided $50 million in support services for anyone going through a cancer battle. The first day I went into my treatment, I took my phone and I started videotaping every one of my sessions. I’m almost three years cancer-free, but every time a person walks up to me and says, “I watched your videos after I got diagnosed and you got the scary out of it,” it continues to light that fire under me to help. My latest initiative, “At Home with Joan,” is an online video series where I talk to cancer patients around the United States about their experiences and where oncologists and nurses offer…

Robert Galbraith Lethal White NOVEL Continuing her stellar second act as the author of hardboiled detective stories, J.K. Rowling (under the pen name Robert Galbraith) presents her fourth Cormoran Strike novel. This time the private eye and his assistant Robin are investigating a blackmail attempt against Britain’s minister of culture during the 2012 Olympics. The twisty tale takes on politics, feminism and mental illness, but what makes it compulsively readable is the hope that Corm and the unhappily married Robin will finally figure out they are meant for each other.

A corneal ulcer is a bacterial (sometimes fungal) infection on the cornea, the front outer layer of the eye. Generally, says Dr. Steven A. Shanbom, a Michigan-based ophthalmologist, it results from a scratch to the eye—or from sleeping in or improperly cleaning contact lenses. “Good hygiene is important,” says Shanbom, who urges users to wash their hands before touching their contacts and to choose disposable lenses when possible. “And never put your contact lenses in your mouth,” he says. “There’s tons of bacteria in your saliva!”…

Carrie Underwood is the first to admit she’s thankful. Married to her husband of eight years, former hockey player Mike Fisher, and mom to their 3-year-old son Isaiah, the singer had everything to look forward to as 2017 began. She was focused on her career—her new album Cry Pretty was just released last month—and ready to start adding to their family. “I’d kind of planned that 2017 was going to be the year that I work on new music, and I have a baby,” Underwood told CBS Sunday Morning. But that time, said the star, “just wasn’t how I imagined it.” Now fully recovered from a nasty fall outside her Nashville home last November, which resulted in 40 to 50 stitches in her face and a broken wrist, the…
