For almost 35 years, Spike Lee has chronicled African-American life in his films—from love, friendships and family to racism and police brutality. The Oscar-winning director, 63, is well aware that real life doesn’t always have a happy ending—and neither should his art. “No, that’s some other guy’s movies,” he says. As protests sweep the nation over the tragic deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd—the last two at the hands of the police—Lee’s films are now more poignant than ever. “They should be required viewing for all Americans,” says actor Jonathan Majors, who stars in his new Netflix movie Da 5 Bloods. Lee’s 1989 film Do the Right Thing tells the story of a young black man in Brooklyn who is choked to death by a cop using…

For years Carole Baskin fought to shut down Joseph “Joe Exotic” Maldonado-Passage’s Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, but in a surprising twist in the bizarre saga featured in Netflix’s Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, Baskin will soon be in charge of the zoo. On June 1 a federal court judge granted the Big Cat Rescue founder, 59, control of Joe’s former property in Oklahoma after it was determined he fraudulently transferred it to his mother, Shirley M. Schreibvogel, even though Baskin had won a $1 million judgment against him in a copyright lawsuit. “She was bound to get it, and Joe knew that,” says his husband, Dillon Passage. “When we left the zoo initially, he was already done with it. He was like, ‘There’s so much bad blood, bad…

I met Layli Miller-Muro, the founder of the Tahirih Justice Center, through the Baha’i community. She’s a great example of living the truth of our faith by helping others. So when she asked me to help, it was an immediate yes. The Tahirih Justice Center is a national nonprofit organization that serves immigrant women and girls seeking safety and justice. It provides free legal services for those fleeing gender-based violence or facing domestic violence or exploitation in the U.S. I’ve visited its offices and seen firsthand the amazing work the people there do. In 2018 I emceed its annual gala to help raise awareness about empowering women and encouraging men to continue shifting cultural norms. What I have experienced through Tahirih is the humanization of these issues by meeting…

The Big Little Lies star, 47, hosts ABC’s Don’t, a game show executive-produced by Ryan Reynolds. So what’s the premise? Essentially you try to win money by refraining from doing things. There are several games where I feel horrible for the people doing it! Have you tried playing Don’t? No. It’s uncomfortable to eat a ghost pepper while walking on a treadmill under a heat lamp and not drink an ice-cold drink. This is an unexpected addition to your résumé. I’ve never once thought of myself as a game-show host, but the idea of a self-aware game—I thought, “Why not?” Who’s your favorite game-show host ever? Alex Trebek.…

DOMINIQUE CRENN, CHEF ‘MY SEXUALITY DOES NOT DEFINE ME’ “I decided to tell my brother first, but it took me two years to come out to my parents. They’re very Catholic. I’ve never denied my sexuality, but I never screamed from the top of the Eiffel Tower, ‘I am gay!’ I’ve learned that stereotypes can be dangerous. When I came out, people would say things like, ‘You’re very attractive and feminine. We thought lesbians looked like truck drivers.’ I’d say, ‘You know everyone comes in different forms, right? And, by the way, who says truck drivers aren’t beautiful?’ I met Maria [Bello, see page 58] when she came to eat in my restaurant in San Francisco. We were very good friends before we became a couple. Being in love has…

When The Real cohost Loni Love began taking stand-up comedy classes in Burbank, Calif., she practiced quips about office culture at Xerox, where she worked as an engineer. The instructor criticized Love’s material as not feeling “authentic” and asked if she had any stories about crack. “She had her vision of what she thought I should be as a woman of color—but it wasn’t me,” says Love, 48. She wasn’t swayed by that teacher, and today she’s a successful comic, actress, radio personality (the nationally syndicated Café Mocha) and Emmy-winning host of a daytime talk show who hopes to encourage others to find joy even amid adversity. “I have to be who I am,” she says. She recounts the complex journey that made her who she is in her candid,…

After Lea Michele tweeted her support for the Black Lives Matter movement on May 29, former Glee costar Samantha Marie Ware—who played Jane Hayward for 11 episodes in 2015—called out the actress, 33, alleging that Michele turned her time on the series into a “living hell” and made “traumatic microaggressions” toward her. Michele apologized for her “insensitive” behavior in a statement saying, “I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people.” Similar accusations followed: Glee actress Heather Morris tweeted that Michele was “unpleasant to work with,” and trans singer Plastic Martyr said Michele mocked her in a bathroom at the Emmys 10 years ago. Fellow Glee alum Iqbal Theba (a Pakistani-American who played Principal Figgins) came to the mom-to-be’s defense, tweeting June 3 that he was “never mistreated” by Michele:…

Cameron Diaz, 47, and Benji Madden, 41, think life with their 5-month-old daughter Raddix is better than they could have ever imagined. “Despite everything that’s going on, Cameron and Benji are having the best year as a family,” says a source. “They love being parents.” While isolating at home, the couple have spent time with Madden’s twin brother and Good Charlotte bandmate, Joel, and his wife, Nicole Richie. “Cameron loves to cook,” says the source. Madden sang his wife’s praises in a sweet Mother’s Day post, writing, “Whether waking up extra early to take care of everyone (3 humans and a dozen animals) or doing all the research and reading to make sure we try our best to be good parents for our daughter, she’s a force of nature and…

This Costumed Cat Helps a Town Get Curious About Reading BELLEFONTE, PA. In an effort to amp up the social media presence of the central Pennsylvania library where she works, Lisa Shaffer started posting pictures of her cats with books six years ago. The bibliographic-services assistant at the Bellefonte branch of the Centre County Library spends hours crafting cat wigs, costumes and elaborate scenes for her Saturday-morning “Caturday” posts on the library’s Instagram account (@centrecountylibrary). “Libraries aren’t stuffy, quiet places,” she says. “They’re filled with so much fun.” Shaffer, 34, has six cats, but her 12-year-old orange tabby Horatio has become the star, dressed as Frodo, Mr. Rogers, Big Bird and more. “He secretly likes doing it,” Shaffer says. Fans, in turn, appreciate Horatio. The posts have recently started to…

It’s a Friday morning, and Anderson Cooper is in his New York City home working hard—but he’s not preparing to grill a politician or packing his bags to follow a breaking news story. He’s adapting to a completely new challenge: life with his 6-week-old baby boy Wyatt Morgan. And the new dad is smitten with his little one’s every wiggle and peep. “He makes these incredible little squeaks all day long and often all night long, even while he’s sleeping,” says Cooper, 53. “He’s an incredibly interested, happy little bundle.” On April 30 the CNN anchor surprised the world with the emotional announcement on Anderson Cooper 360° that he had become a father three days earlier. A month later he seems like a completely different man. The serious but charming, typically besuited host is relaxed in…

Last Moment of Pride My wife, Phyllis, is a nurse practitioner. Every morning she heads off to the hospital, and there’s nothing I could be more proud of than the work she’s doing right now. Last Time My Dog Made Me Laugh Oliver is a rescue, and he prefers high-end bottled water. Not only that, it’s got to be cold. If I pour in tap, he looks at me like, “You want me to drink this?!” Last Moment of Gratitude Just sitting down for dinner, hearing the news behind us and looking around the table at my wife and both my kids [Daniel, 24, and Julia, 28]. So far so good. Last Time I Was Recognized The other day I was at the grocery wearing gloves, a mask and…
