FOR ADDITIONAL REVIEWS OF MOVIES, TV SHOWS, MUSIC AND BOOKS, GO TO PEOPLE.COM/PICKS No. 1 Marvel's Luke Cage NETFLIX Here's one superhero we're lucky to have FANTASY Luke Cage (Mike Colter), introduced in Marvel's Jessica Jones, has the build of a boxer and the unpuncturable epidermis of a Superman. (One wonders: Will he ever need Botox? Although the needle would crumple.) He's trying to live a quiet, humdrum life doing odd jobs in Harlem, but the vile activities of drug boss Cottonmouth (Mahershala Ali) quickly force him into vigilante mode. The urban atmosphere here is terrific—less flashy than The Get-Down but more compelling—and Colter (The Good Wife) has unquestionable heft and quiet, irresistible power. Who needs to leap tall buildings when you look like one? Great stuff. (Launches Sept. 30)…

After dark on Oct. 28, 1962, new parents Mary and Felix Vail left their 3-month-old son with a sitter and headed out on a boat on the Calcasieu River near their home in Lake Charles, La. Vail would later say Mary spotted a stump in the water and fell overboard as he swerved to miss it—and that his desperate attempts to save her failed. When her body washed up two days later, her death was ruled an accidental drowning despite the bruises on her head and neck, the scarf in her mouth and the double-indemnity insurance policy her husband had taken out on the 22-year-old young mother and former homecoming queen. "I never believed," says Mary's younger brother Will, "it was an accident." Nearly 54 years after Mary Vail's death,…

The actor, 47, stars on the ABC comedy Dr. Ken Your character is based on your own life as a doctor. How are you different from him? He's obviously very similar to me. But even though he's well-intentioned, he loses a little bit of self-awareness and a filter, and that's a bit different from me in real life. I'm painfully self-aware at times, and I'm much more reserved and mild-mannered. Do you ever miss practicing medicine? No, because this show is essentially what my life would be like if The Hangover had never happened and I stayed at the HMO I worked at. It gets really surreal at times. Are you still asked for medical advice? All the time. Every project I've ever done. But I don't mind. In a…

ALL THE NEWS & BUZZ FROM HOLLYWOOD PARIS HILTON 'I'M A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON' BEFORE THERE WERE the Kardashians, the Housewives and social media stars, there was Paris Hilton, the celebutante famous for being famous and a staple at every club opening worldwide. But by the mid-2000s her life had become the stuff of a Snapchat nightmare: an unauthorized sex tape, a failed engagement, notorious fallings-out with friends Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian and even the cancellation of her reality show The Simple Life in 2007. It wasn't surprising, therefore, when Hilton seemingly retreated from the spotlight. But today Hilton has created a surprising—and lucrative—second act. She has launched a deejay career, built up the success of her Paris Hilton retail stores overseas and maintains a booming celebrity-fragrance business. "I'm…

It was Jennifer Weiner's father—a child psychiatrist—who first made her feel bad about her weight. "When I was 11 or 12, he would say, 'You're fat, you're ugly, no boy is going to want to date you,'" says Weiner. "He made me feel ashamed of how I looked, and eating made me not feel ashamed—it let me not feel anything. Then, of course, I'd eat and feel even more ashamed." Just talking about those memories brings Weiner, 46, close to tears. As the bestselling novelist (Good in Bed, In Her Shoes) reveals in her new book of personal essays, Hungry Heart, her dad was "wonderful" when she was very young, but mental illness transformed him into a "mean and erratic" stranger—when she was 16, he abandoned the family, eventually becoming…

SPOTLIGHT Maddie Ziegler THE SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE: THE NEXT GENERATION JUDGE, 14, HAS A NEW FASHION LINE GEARED TOWARD HER FELLOW TEENS What inspired you to launch your own clothing line? I wanted the line [which is named Maddie] to be something teens could feel confident and happy in. Sometimes I'll go to pick clothes and they're either too young-looking or too old-looking. There's never really an in between. We don't always want to wear bright colors or hot pink daily. As a teen, do you feel pressured to dress a certain way? I think there's always pressure, especially being in the public eye, because people judge you on your every move. But I think being a teen is a time when we can embrace who we…

HOME TOUR Shay Mitchell's Glam Guesthouse SHAY MITCHELL is a woman with vision. And in her tiny Los Angeles guesthouse, her interior-design dreams were not matching reality. "I wanted a glam room, a place to hold meetings, a lounge area to watch TV and a private office," says the Pretty Little Liars star, 29. "And the space was none of that." She teamed up with Mat Sanders of Consort Design to make over the rooms with classic, feminine pieces and cool black-and-white accents from Wayfair. The standout platform bed, which Sanders invented to hide an architectural quirk, is covered in Clé tiles that "really add that dramatic touch. I knew it would be something that I loved." THE WALL-SIZE PIN BOARD HOLDS MITCHELL'S LATEST STYLE INSPIRATIONS 'It's the perfect combination…

Last OCD moment I got home from set at like 2:30 a.m. and started putting things away so it wouldn't be messy. I needed to fall asleep and not be late the next day, which I didn't do, so I was late. All the neuroses go hand in hand. Last time I cringed I cringed at the cockroach that's clearly sunbathing on my balcony here at this hotel. It's like the size of my hand, legitimately. And I've got pretty big hands for a woman. It's disgusting. It hasn't moved. Okay, yeah, it's dead. Last game I played Heads Up! on-set. I'm very good. Everyone should want me on their team. For that and if there's an apocalypse. Because I'll protect you—I'm very good under pressure. Last girls' night out…

Thomas Gibson is ready for a change. "I love this place, but there's just too much construction going on," the actor, 54, says as he looks out the wall-to-wall windows of his downtown Los Angeles penthouse."There are cranes in every direction. I'm already looking to move." A relocation would be just another upheaval for Gibson, who was fired from the hit CBS drama series Criminal Minds in August after an altercation with one of the show's writer-producers. "I lost my show, my job and my work family in one fell swoop," says the veteran TV star, who starred as FBI unit chief Aaron Hotchner for 11 seasons. "It hasn't been easy." But it's not the first time the Charleston, S.C., native and Juilliard graduate has dealt with tough times. He…

For Holly Madison, welcoming her son Forest Leonardo Antonio into the world was pure bliss. But that joy was quickly cut short when her newborn baby was whisked to the NICU moments after his birth. "When I held him, he was purple," the 36-year-old recalls. "They took him away to get the fluid out of his lungs. First it was the fluid, then it was jaundice, then his eyes weren't dilating, and I spent hours thinking my baby couldn't see." Bonding with Forest as he was hooked up to "a million machines" made Madison's first three days with him "stressful." But when she was finally able to bring her son—ultimately deemed perfectly healthy—home, the experience made motherhood even more meaningful. "It was such a relief," says Madison, who is wed…
