Standing on the bluff behind his house just south of Santa Barbara one recent morning, Kevin Costner kept a close eye on the waves as his two youngest sons, Cayden, 13, and Hayes, 11, who are learning to surf, bobbed side by side. “I was thinking, ‘I wonder what they’re talking about,’” the actor recalls. “Because they’re going to remember this for the rest of their lives.” After a while the boys turned in tandem and caught a wave together. “Their boards got really close, and pretty soon their hands were kind of touching,” says Costner, 65. “And then all of a sudden, my littlest one jumped off his board onto my other son’s and they stood on it for about four or five seconds. It was the spontaneity—I was…

The Bachelor franchise is implementing some big changes. On June 12, following the announcement that Matt James will be the show’s first black Bachelor in its 40 seasons on air, executive producers released a statement pledging to “do better.” “We acknowledge our responsibility for the lack of representation of people of color on our franchise,” the statement read in part. “We are taking positive steps to expand diversity in our cast, in our staff and most importantly in the relationships that we show on television.” The statement comes on the heels of a passionate call to action from former contestants and fans who have long expressed dismay over the lack of diversity on the franchise since it premiered with The Bachelor in 2002. “[The statement] is a step in…

Since Vanderpump Rules premiered more than seven years ago, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute have starred on the popular reality show, but now both women are out of the job after they were fired for racist behavior. Schroeder and Doute were kicked off the series, which follows Lisa Vanderpump and the staff at her West Hollywood restaurant SUR, after their former castmate Faith Stowers, 31, revealed the two once attempted to falsely accuse her of a crime. According to Stowers, after a news outlet printed a photo of a black woman who was wanted for theft in 2018, Schroeder, 31, and Doute, 37, called the cops and implicated her. “I brought it up two years ago, and I felt I wasn’t being heard and now I’m being heard,” says…

Prince Andrew, 60, has been publicly called out by U.S. prosecutors, who allege the royal has not cooperated with their criminal investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Last week the U.S. Department of Justice wrote to British officials asking to formally interview Prince Charles’s brother about his relationship with the disgraced financier, who died by suicide after his arrest last summer on sex-trafficking charges. On June 8 Andrew’s legal firm Blackfords LLP denied claims that he hasn’t been cooperative: “The Duke of York has on at least three occasions this year offered his assistance as a witness to the DOJ.” Hours later Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, pushed back, saying the prince “has repeatedly declined our request to schedule such an interview.”…

Longtime entertainment publicist Nanci Ryder, who cofounded the BWR publicity firm and worked with stars like Courteney Cox, Reese Witherspoon and Renée Zellweger, died at her home in Los Angeles on June 11, six years after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. She was 67. “Nanci Ryder has always been one of my favorite people in the world,” Cox tells People. “She was such a force—direct, blunt, yet sensitive and loyal. Her confidence, attitude and humor was like a magnet. She fought and accepted the unimaginable with strength and grace. I will miss all the times we laughed and cried. I’m so lucky to have known Nanci Ryder. She will always be with me.” Another close friend, Reese Witherspoon, said on Instagram that Ryder (whom she met…

Growing up in a small town, I used to walk to the library while reading a book. I was queer in a lot of ways,” Scott Turner Schofield remembers with a laugh. “I didn’t know I could be a trans man. I didn’t even know we existed.” Now he’s proudly showing the world that he and others like him exist. He has found success in Hollywood both behind and in front of the camera, including in a pioneering role on The Bold and the Beautiful. He’s the first trans man actor ever to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy, for his role in Amazon’s Studio City. Says Schofield humbly: “I’m just a man living my truth.” But getting to that frame of mind took a lifetime. Raised in Texas and…

In the not-too-distant past, Princess Kate might have been teaming up with Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, as she made a series of video calls to nurses in seven countries across the world. Instead, joining Kate on May 12 was Sophie, the Countess of Wessex. The two royal moms put their fellow callers at ease, chatting about homeschooling with a military nurse in Cyprus who mentioned that a family member was a teacher back home in the U.K. “Be careful,” Sophie said. “She’s about to be recruited!” She may as well have been talking about herself. Although Sophie, 55, has been a working royal for more than 20 years since marrying the Queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, 56, in 1999, she has recently been stepping up to fill the…

Matthew Rhys Redefining an Icon When Matthew Rhys learned that HBO was teaming with executive producer Robert Downey Jr. to reimagine the fictional criminal defense attorney, he knew “this was not going to be my grandfather’s Perry Mason.” Once he read the script, the Americans actor, 45, says he was “hooked” and soon signed on to play the character created by novelist Erle Stanley Gardner in the 1930s and portrayed on TV in the 1950s and ’60s by Raymond Burr. “It’s an iconic part that people have a very strong opinion about,” he says. “There’s no place for comparison.” Teamed onscreen with Tatiana Maslany and John Lithgow (see page 132), Rhys believes that while the show is set in 1932, it hits a welcome note today. “There’s comfort in knowing…

Last Time I Said ‘I Love You’ Oh, within the last couple of hours, to my wife [Mary Yeager]. It’s kind of a mantra around here. It would be interesting to calculate how many times a day we say it. But it’s surely double figures. Last Moment of Bliss I’m writing a book of satirical poems about the Trump administration, a follow-up to my book Dumpty. Every time I finish an illustration, it’s a feeling of bliss. Last Time I Danced A few nights ago. We were in our family room, and some Lucinda Williams music was on, so we started slow dancing. It was very sweet. Last Moment of Pride My daughter [Phoebe] texted us a photo showing her beautiful, pregnant belly. She’s due in July and always…

Finding Hope At the beginning of this year we looked forward to our fifth annual Reasons to Love America issue; it’s always a moment of joy. As the moment approached, however, I wondered whether we should push on with our theme. America is in pain following the death of George Floyd and many others; we’ve lost loved ones to COVID-19; many are facing huge challenges due to the shutdown and unemployment rates not seen since the Great Depression. Nobody could have predicted that 2020 would bring us such difficult times. But then I thought about how this franchise got its start: It was 2015 and the country felt divided. We wanted to celebrate all the things that bring us together. It reminded me that, although we are facing big challenges,…

To mark the first anniversary of their June 8, 2019, wedding, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, who will welcome their first child together later this year, “enjoyed a short getaway,” a source says. Back home in L.A., the Gift of Forgiveness author, 30, has been spending her pregnancy taking walks, catching up with friends and family on FaceTime and cooking and baking at home. “She seems to enjoy the slower pace,” the insider says. “She and Chris spend a lot of time together.” The actor, 41, will become a dad for the second time, as he shares son Jack, 7, with ex-wife Anna Faris, 43. “Jack often stays with Chris and Katherine,” the source says. “They’re both very happy.”…

this week in People history 6 / 30 / 1997 One of the hottest Hollywood romances of the ’90s came to an end when Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow broke off their engagement 23 years ago. The pair had “a bumpy time” before the split but shared a “true and deeply felt love” for the 2½ years they were together, a source said in People’s cover story. The exes moved on to equally high-profile relationships—she married Coldplay rocker Chris Martin; he wed Jennifer Aniston and later Angelina Jolie. Today Paltrow, 47, is married to producer Brad Falchuk and recently revealed she’s still “friendly” with Pitt, who’s single.…

As the arrival of their baby girl draws near, Katy Perry and fiancé Orlando Bloom have been spending more time at their happy place: the beach. A source close to the actor says the couple have been traveling back and forth from their home in Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, Perry’s hometown. “They enjoy the drive up the coast from L.A.,” the source says. “It’s a beautiful change of scenery for them.” ‘I’VE ALWAYS FELT MOTHERLY … BUT I KNOW I’M ABOUT TO STEP INTO THE NEXT LEVEL’—KATY PERRY Previously Perry, 35, and Bloom, 43, had been spending much of their time isolating at home in L.A., where, the source says, Perry “is still decorating the nursery and having fun with it.” During a May appearance on The Graham…

When her husband, Bryan, died in a roofing accident in 2004, Terri Herrington knew she wanted some good to come of her loss. So she decided to donate his organs to those on the transplant list. “Knowing that this gift helped them, helped all their extended families, was a blessing,” says Herrington, 49. Also a blessing was getting to know some of those organ recipients, including Jeff Granger, a Wacissa, Fla., electrician who received Bryan’s pancreas and one of his kidneys and with whom she became close friends. “We just clicked somehow,” she says. So in April 2019, when Herrington, a Pensacola, Fla., elementary school teacher, saw a post from Granger on Facebook saying that his transplanted kidney was failing and he needed another, she knew what she had…

‘This is an unprecedented time, and I’m a worrier. Putting it all in perspective helps’ When I’m cooking in my own kitchen … The food I prepare at home is very different from what I order in restaurants or what I eat on Top Chef. It’s simple, homey and doable. Right now I’m testing recipes for my new cookbook. To me, the most exciting food in this country is what’s bubbling up in immigrant communities.
