Hayden Panettiere is taking a stand. After the former Nashville star told authorities in California that her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson, 31, had been violent toward her, he was arrested on July 16 in Los Angeles on eight charges alleging abusive incidents from May 2019 to January 2020, all of which Hickerson has denied. “I am coming forward with the truth about what happened to me with the hope that my story will empower others in abusive relationships to get the help they need and deserve,” Panettiere, 30, said in a statement. “I am prepared to do my part to make sure this man never hurts anyone again.” According to a criminal indictment, the allegations against Hickerson include four felony charges of corporal injury on a spouse/cohabitant; two felony charges…

Since Disney announced the Splash Mountain ride at its U.S. theme parks will be reimagined with a Princess and the Frog theme, Anika Noni Rose—who voiced Princess Tiana, Disney’s first Black princess, in the 2009 film—has been getting messages from fans every day. “I think it’s awesome, particularly now, to be reinvigorating her story,” says the Tony winner, 47. ‘MY WHOLE LIFE I WANTED TO VOICE A DISNEY CHARACTER. TIANA WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND MY ACTUAL DREAM’ Do people ever recognize your voice? All the time, which is surprising.

Getting to see the crew kind of fall in love with him because he was so collaborative and passionate. His enthusiasm on-set is infectious, and it really made me fall in love with him all over again.

A Special-Needs Chicken Takes a Road Trip From California to New York FRESNO, CALIF. How did the chicken cross the country? In a rented RV—and it was poultry in motion. Tricia Stone-Shumaker and her husband, Scott, planned the 7,100-mile trip through 18 states as a way to travel safely during COVID-19 from their California home to the United States Military Academy at West Point for their son Forrest’s graduation. They couldn’t leave their pet chicken Poppy behind because the bird has a rare crossed-beak condition and needs to be fed by hand. So the couple loaded Poppy—plus dogs Beau and Tango, as well as Remington the duck—into the camper and drove east. “The duck and chicken hung out and shared a watering dish,” says Tricia. Along the way they stopped…

‘I take each day as it comes. I wish I could see my mom, but having FaceTime is a blessing’ Like Everyone, I’m at Home a Lot Now … My husband [Michael Douglas] and I were empty nesters, but now [because of COVID-19] it’s been wonderful to be back under one roof with my son [Dylan, 19] and daughter [Carys, 17]. We just hunkered in and got out the cards, Monopoly, Yahtzee and Skyjo. I’m a Creature of Routine … I get up really early. That’s my favorite time because I have a little peace and tranquility. I like to exercise in the morning to get it over with but have to eat before I think about it. I go through phases of being really disciplined, and just meh, but…

Last Time I Danced Gosh, it was about two years ago. We were at a party at a country club and decided to get up and not fall down. My wife, Doria, is a really good dancer. Once in a while we get really close and dirty. Last Time I Was Starstruck Probably when I saw Shirley MacLaine in Malibu. She was walking, and I just stared and didn’t say anything. I’m such a fan—but I’m an idiot. Last Thing I Took From a Set I usually try to keep a piece of wardrobe. The other stuff you just think, “What am I going to do with this?” I do have one of Zeek’s jackets. I wear it all the time. Last Time I Was Recognized I was in…

On July 15, one day after ABC announced Tom Bergeron and cohost Erin Andrews’s exit from Dancing with the Stars and teased creative changes were afoot, the network revealed that the supermodel and businesswoman will be the reality competition’s sole host for its 29th season. “I have been a fan of DWTS since its beginning,” Banks, 46, said in a statement. “It’s always transported me to my days of turning it up 10 notches on the catwalk.” The former America’s Next Top Model host added that Bergeron—who has hosted the series’ 28 seasons since its debut in 2005—has set a “powerful stage,” adding she’s “excited to continue the legacy.” Because of COVID-19 restrictions, however, ABC has yet to set a…

Princess Beatrice & Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi EXCLUSIVE DETAILS! ‘It felt super-romantic and lovely’—A FRIEND Princess Beatrice has always been close with her grandmother Queen Elizabeth. So when the coronavirus pandemic disrupted Beatrice’s original wedding plans, forcing her to postpone her May nuptials to Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the bride’s top consideration was ensuring her grandmother could still attend the rescheduled ceremony—in safe, socially distanced style. In return the 94-year-old monarch bestowed the ultimate “something borrowed” upon her granddaughter, 31: a hand-me-down dress crafted by the Queen’s own wedding-gown designer, Norman Hartnell, and the stunning Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, the same one the Queen wore at her 1947 wedding to Prince Philip. After a last-minute change of heart about her dress, “she made a request [to borrow one…

What makes Jennifer Lopez and her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, happy as they deal with life in lockdown? Spending time with their kids, playing with a new puppy and, for Lopez, finding time to meditate. “It really helps, getting your little bit of quiet time [amid] all that concern about the future,” she says. The couple know that kind of commitment to self-care is a privilege—one they believe should be more accessible. So they’ve expanded their partnership with Hims & Hers—a telehealth company that offers virtual medical appointments in English and Spanish, as well as at-home COVID-19 test kits—to promote health care and self-care for everyone. “We remember what it was to grow up not being able to afford decent care,” Lopez says. Rodriguez hopes the venture can help destigmatize seeking…

What did you enjoy about playing Curie? She’s a woman worth spending time with. She made a discovery of a highly unruly phenomenon, radioactivity, and she herself is an unruly element. Have you put the chemistry you learned to use? I did some chemistry with my kids [sons Solo, 8, and Atom, 5, with her husband, Robie Uniacke]. We did experiments with eggs, the way an eggshell goes rubberized if you leave it in white vinegar. Have you picked up any new skills in lockdown? I’ve started playing my cello again, which I used to play as a child. It’s an amazing reawakening.…

Just weeks before his death from pancreatic cancer, Rep. John Lewis of Georgia visited the Black Lives Matter street mural outside the White House. The mural was what he called “good trouble”—peaceful, necessary protest. And the ongoing national outpouring to end racism after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis felt to him like a possible turning point, a decisive step forward from Lewis’s own work on the front lines of the civil rights movement back in the 1960s. “It is so much more massive and all-inclusive,” he said. “There will be no turning back.” Lewis, ranked with Martin Luther King Jr. as one of the country’s civil rights pioneers, died in Atlanta at age 80 on July 17. The expressions of grief, admiration and gratitude marked the passing of…

Dr. Cynthia Kudji-Sylvester still remembers the moment in 1989, during a trip to Ghana—the West African country her family left when she was just 2—when a woman carrying a baby approached her and frantically asked for help. “She was talking about her daughter who was sick and had a fever,” recalls Cynthia, then just 17. “She picked us just because we were American. There was such a drastic divide between us, and that really hit home. It was in that moment that I knew I wanted to be a physician.” It would take another 31 years for Cynthia to fulfill her dream—a destiny she would share with her own daughter Jasmine Kudji, now 26. This past year mother and daughter both graduated from medical school—and began their residencies together on…

Koreen Odiney still remembers the first time she discovered how much strangers can have in common. She was just 16—and inconsolable after having her heart broken for the first time. “I walked all over Los Angeles asking people if they ever got over their first love,” recalls the model turned entrepreneur, now 25, who was struck by how quickly she could identify with people she didn’t know. “I fell in love with asking questions. I was hooked.” She’s been asking questions—and fostering new and surprising connections between friends and strangers alike—ever since. In 2016 she launched the Instagram feed @werenotreallystrangers, which has almost 2 million followers, many of whom bare their souls daily in the comments. Last year Odiney put 150 of her soul-stirring questions on glossy red cards and…
