Things are heating up between Kim Kardashian and Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton. A source close to Kardashian, 45, says the pair—who were first romantically linked in January after being spotted on a weekend getaway in England’s Cotswolds countryside—connect often. “They are both busy with their careers but see each other as much as possible,” the source tells People, adding of Hamilton, 41, “He’s just an easygoing guy with great energy. Her family likes him.” In late March, Kardashian and three of her four children—Saint, 10, Chicago, 9, and Psalm, 6—logged quality time with Hamilton in Tokyo while he was there for a race. “It’s more than just a casual connection,” the source says. “It takes a lot to capture Kim’s interest, and she’s definitely intrigued.” The Japan trip follows…

Actor James Tolkan, who starred as high school vice principal Mr. Strickland in the Back to the Future franchise and had a penchant for telling Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly he was a “slacker,” died on March 26 in Saranac Lake, N.Y. He was 94. A crew member told People the actor, who served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, wasn’t anything like his stern characters: “He was just one of the kindest men you would ever meet.”  …

Eight weeks after Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, disappeared without a trace from her home in Tucson, the Today coanchor returned to TV in tears. The veteran broadcaster, 54, sat down with her longtime friend and former colleague Hoda Kotb in her first interview about an “agony” that is as excruciating to imagine as it is to witness. “To think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night—every night—and in the darkness, I imagine her terror,” Savannah told Kotb, 61, in the multipart conversation, which aired on March 26 and 27. “It is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face.” As she prepares to officially rejoin the Today show on April 6 after…

William Daniels is still moving at his own pace, and he’s not especially concerned with the milestones ahead. The beloved Boy Meets World star celebrated his 99th birthday on March 31. “I certainly don’t feel 99 years old, that’s for sure,” he says over Zoom before joking about hitting triple digits next year. “I don’t want to be 100. Who wants to be 100?” The actor’s birthday underscores his lasting cultural impact in film and television, from his roles in The Graduate and 1776 to his Emmy-winning turn on St. Elsewhere and portraying the wise and beloved Mr. Feeny on Boy Meets World. For generations of viewers he has represented a steady and familiar presence—and his ongoing ties to both audiences and castmates point to his lasting influence beyond his work…

Halle Bailey is a woman on the verge. “I’m 25, turning 26 in two weeks,” she says as she sits down with People ahead of her March 27 birthday. “Little Halle is still in there. I still try to feed the little girl in me … but grown Halle is just a little bit less shy and more confident in herself.” At the moment, grown Halle is also pretty tired, following a long day of promoting her new film in picturesque Napa, Calif. After making a splash as Ariel in Disney’s live-action 2023 remake of The Little Mermaid, Bailey is back on the big screen, this time making a mess of things as Anna, a sweet-faced grifter at the heart of the romantic comedy You, Me & Tuscany. She stars…

‘I ALWAYS LIKE WHEN MY MOM IS WITH ME’ Baking is a family affair for Jennifer Garner, whose mom, Patricia, 87, is a fan-favorite guest on her Pretend Cooking Show. The actress and mother of three (Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14, with ex Ben Affleck), 53, recently partnered with the culinary appliance brand KitchenAid. What’s it like working with your mom in the kitchen? She’s so funny. She loves it. She loves being recognized. She loves when people say hi to her. She’s very opinionated about what we should and shouldn’t do. She likes to tell me that her episodes perform the best and are the best ones. I’m sure she’s right, because she’s been right about everything for the last 53 years of my life. What’s the…

Were you a Yellowstone fan? Growing up, I loved watching westerns with my family. No one had really figured out how to do it like the classics until Taylor Sheridan. I fell in love. What was it like seeing Luke as Kayce Dutton? It was less crazy because I first met him on Fifty Shades Freed. He’s such a salt-of-the-earth guy and a great leader. What was the prep like for such a physical role? I knew I had to treat my body like an athlete and be really disciplined, but I definitely got my butt kicked. The show’s already renewed for season 2. How do you feel? It has changed my life. I’m digesting it in real time.  …

For three seasons of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, breakout star Jen Shah kept audiences on their toes with her over-the-top personality, flamboyant fashion choices and self-described “Queen Bee” attitude. But even die-hard Bravo fans were shocked when, in 2021, the married mother of two adult sons was charged with—and eventually pleaded guilty to—federal conspiracy to commit wire fraud for her role in a nationwide telemarketing scheme that defrauded thousands of innocent victims. “My life changed overnight,” says Shah, 52, who served two years and nine months in federal prison. “It almost didn’t seem real.” Now, in her first interview since her release in 2025, Shah opens up about breaking the law, life behind bars and what she has to say to the victims of her offenses today.…

Ty Herndon was nervous about sharing his vulnerable new memoir, What Mattered Most, with his mom, Peggy. The book includes harrowing details about the darkest moments of his life—but when his mother read it recently, she was proud. “She took both of my hands and said, ‘Son, how does redemption feel?’” recalls Herndon, 63. “I never even realized [sharing my story] was about that; it was just about a small amount of freedom.” Peggy has seen Herndon through multiple highs and lows. He’s faced immense struggles with his sexuality, as well as a sexual assault that led to years of substance abuse and mental health issues—all of which he chronicles in the memoir. “I can finally breathe,” Herndon, now healthy and happily married, says of the relief and release he’s…

Last time I sang out loud I’m a shower singer. The sad thing is I’m terrible, so I try and not inflict it on other people. A lot of Elton John tends to happen. Last game I played My son and daughter introduced me to this ridiculously stupid and addictive game called Fruit Merge. If I get into bed and it’s not too late, I allow myself 10 minutes. The goal is to get a watermelon, and my promise is that once I do, I’m going to delete it. Last moment of bliss Last night in my local Russian and Turkish bathhouse. I love a sauna and a cold plunge. For my money, it’s a fast track guaranteed to a blissful state. Last time I scored extra dad points My…

Just after 2 p.m. on March 27, the peace and quiet of South Beach Road on Florida’s ultraexclusive Jupiter Island was briefly shattered by a blast of crunching metal. According to police, Tiger Woods, one of the world’s most celebrated athletes, was involved in a rollover crash when his Land Rover clipped the back of a truck pulling a trailer that had slowed down to turn into a driveway. The impact caused Woods’s vehicle—which authorities say was traveling “at high speed”—to flip over on the driver’s side, eventually coming to a stop farther up the road. Police arriving at the crash scene found the 50-year-old Woods, who had crawled out of the passenger-side window, standing by his overturned vehicle. Officers quickly determined that the golf legend showed “signs of impairment,”…

Ted Danson, who voices Ralph Waldo Emerson in the new PBS docuseries Henry David Thoreau, says it was an easy yes once he learned the project was being executive-produced by pal Don Henley and Ken Burns. “Almost 40 years ago Don started raising money to save Walden Woods. I was part of a fundraiser,” Danson, 78, tells People of meeting Eagles music legend Henley, 78. When the actor—who joins George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Jeff Goldblum as voices in the doc—received Henley’s email about the series, saying no wasn’t an option. “He is such a precise human; his emails will terrify you if you’re lackadaisical about plans,” Danson says. “To this day I kind of flinch.”  …

The husband of the late Queen Elizabeth had a private cancer journey that has just been revealed. Prince Philip, who died at Windsor Castle on April 9, 2021, just two months before his 100th birthday, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer eight years earlier, in 2013, according to a new biography from royal historian Hugo Vickers. (The Duke of Edinburgh’s death was officially attributed to “old age” at the time.) “Doctors had detected a shadow on his pancreas, and had cut him right across his stomach,” Vickers writes in Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History. “The verdict was inoperable pancreatic cancer.” During the then-91-year-old Philip’s convalescence, he adds, it was thought “that he might not be seen in public again. But, as ever, the Duke outwitted the pessimists.” He returned to…

Photographer Captures Life Imitating Art Since his project began in 2014, Austrian-born artist Stefan Draschan has captured nearly 5,000 photos of museumgoers perfectly—and accidentally—blending into the art they’re admiring. From the Nationalgalerie in Berlin to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in N.Y.C., the moments unfold organically and sometimes within seconds: “I often don’t even see the front of the people!” he says. The collection, which he calls “People Matching Artworks,” has now been seen across social media, in books and on display in exhibitions around the world. “It doesn’t feel like work, it’s just a pleasure,” he says. —ALEXANDRA SCHONFELD fun fact! Draschan once captured three matches in under two minutes: “I’m superfast,” he says. Have a story that makes you smile? Send suggestions to storiestomakeyousmile@people.com…

Lauren Conrad isn’t on TikTok, rarely posts on Instagram and certainly hasn’t heard of “Proof of Mom.” But after learning about the social media trend—which encourages mothers to get in front of the camera with their family rather than always being the photographer—during her People cover interview in early February, she’s in total agreement that the movement is much needed. “That’s a real thing: I’m never in a photo!” says Conrad, who’s mom to two sons, Liam, 8, and Charlie, 6, with husband William Tell. “We just went to Hawaii for a week, and I was laughing because the only family photo we took was in the reflection of the elevator.” Not that she’s complaining. After spending her young-adult years on MTV’s revolutionary reality shows Laguna Beach and its spinoff…

There are moments in life when a little bit of practical advice can go a long way—like how to mow a lawn properly, which tires work best in winter or how to patch a hole in drywall. While Bo Petterson, 67, never set out to become a social media influencer, the rural Washington State salesman has amassed more than 10 million followers under the handle “Dad Advice From Bo,” where he shares tips, tricks and hard-earned wisdom with people around the world. “We all are figuring it out as we’re working our way through this complicated thing called life,” Petterson says. “I really enjoy passing along any of the knowledge that I have.” A self-proclaimed introvert, Petterson—who says that kind messages from followers who’ve lost their own dads make it…

From People’s April 14, 2003, issue: Sitting in her silk Jean Paul Gaultier gown in the front row midway through the Academy Awards, Nicole Kidman started to feel sick. When best actress presenter Denzel Washington read out her name, “I just went blank,” Kidman, 35, says. She still recalls little of her time onstage, when she tearfully spoke of her desire to make her mother and daughter Bella, 10, proud. “I woke up the next morning, and right next to my bed I saw a gold statue,” she remembers. “I realized then that it was really true. You just go, ‘How did this happen?’” Credit a string of strong performances, her family and friends and sheer determination. Two years ago Tom Cruise filed for divorce from Kidman. While adjusting to…
