One of TV’s longest-running game shows is changing course yet again. On Aug. 20, just nine days after he was named the new host of Jeopardy! following Alex Trebek’s death last November, Mike Richards resigned after offensive statements he had made on a podcast surfaced. “It pains me that these past incidents and comments have cast such a shadow on Jeopardy! as we look to start a new chapter,” Richards, 46, who remains an executive producer on the show, wrote in a memo to the staff. “It has become clear that moving forward as host would be too much of a distraction for our fans.” The controversy stemmed from a podcast Richards hosted from 2013 to 2014 called The Randumb Show. Throughout its run, Richards made a number of derogatory…

Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum continue to fuel romance buzz as they spend time together. On Aug. 18 they cozied up in New York City’s East Village, where Kravitz, 32, held on to Tatum as he gave her a ride on his BMX bike. They grabbed iced coffee the next day—then appeared to head off on a weekend trip on Aug. 20. Neither Kravitz (who filed for divorce from husband Karl Glusman last December) nor Tatum (last linked to singer Jessie J) has confirmed a romance, but they appeared to become fast friends earlier this year after she cast the Magic Mike alum, 41, in the thriller Pussy Island, her upcoming directorial debut. In January an insider denied rumors they were dating, but according to a source, “they seemed…

Was it tough for you to take on this role, as a mom yourself [to son Valentino and stepson Luca]? My answer on projects normally is, “Oh no, I’m fine.” I can go home, play with my kids and be happy and light with them—but I couldn’t with this. It’s such a starry cast—Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy. What was the dynamic like? Oh, just fantastic, with a good dose of levity. We all had each other’s backs. You’ve been acting for more than 30 years in Australia—TV, film, theater. Which is your favorite? I love the rigor of television—I like the drive of it.…

Nine years ago Simu Liu felt he’d hit rock bottom. An accountant, he had been laid off by the consulting firm Deloitte and had no idea what to do next. “It was so disheartening,” says Liu, 32. One of the hardest parts was having to tell his dad, Zhenning, and mom, Zheng, Chinese immigrants who had moved to Canada for graduate school. Now aeronautical engineers, the Lius had always urged their son toward academics. When Liu told them he wanted to try acting, he says, “initially, to their credit, they were sympathetic. They knew I was going through a lot with the loss of my job. But they became more panicked as they realized that I was actually pursuing this 100 percent. We had a lot of arguments about it.…

The sea had already turned choppy on that afternoon in August 2005 when Jordan Thomas dove off his family’s rented fishing boat into the waters off Key West. Their eight-day trip to Florida was winding down, and Jordan, then 16, was eager to get in the water. But aboard the boat, his mom, Liz, was growing concerned that the rough surf might cause the vessel to crash into her son. Thinking Jordan was a safe distance away, she made the split-second decision to fire up the engines and move the boat—but she’d miscalculated. “The propeller pulled me in,” says Jordan. “I knew what had happened immediately. As the boat’s making its way away from me, I looked down, and my fins were gone. And I saw blood everywhere.” ‘I’m still…

Jessica Chastain NAVIGATES A COMPLICATED LOVE STORY Preparing to play half of an unhappily married couple in HBO’s limited series Scenes from a Marriage required Jessica Chastain to reframe her close friendship with costar Oscar Isaac. “I’ve known Oscar for 20 years. I had to see him in a different way,” says the actress, 44, who trained at Juilliard with Isaac, 42, and previously played his wife in 2014’s A Most Violent Year. “I changed his name in my phone to [his character’s name] Jonathan to remind me.” The series follows “a love story over time and the complexities of vulnerability,” says Chastain, adding that the connection she and Isaac share helped them work through heavy emotional scenes. “It’s like surfing together. We don’t have to plan what we’re going…

Kylie Jenner is pregnant with her second baby with rapper Travis Scott, multiple sources confirm. “She has been wanting this for a while,” a source says of Jenner, adding that the Kylie Cosmetics mogul, the youngest of the famous Kardashian-Jenner siblings, “has a cute bump!” Jenner, 24, and Scott, 30, began dating in 2017 and split in October 2019 but have remained friendly and dated on and off as they focused on co-parenting their daughter Stormi, 3. “Kylie is thrilled that she and Travis are pregnant again,” says the source, who notes that Jenner, who has yet to comment on the pregnancy, has “only been spending time with close friends and family.” But expanding the family has been on her mind for some time:…

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have taken another major step in their relationship: spending time with all their children together. On Aug. 21 the couple went to the Magic Castle in Los Angeles with Affleck’s mom, Chris; his kids Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9 (whose mom is Jennifer Garner); and Lopez’s 13-year-old twins, Max and Emme (whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony).

The Australian rapper, 31, and mother to son Onyx, 15 months, is embracing beginnings: She has a new cosmetic line, Totally Plastic, and a just-released third album, The End of an Era. How has becoming a parent changed your life? I have big respect for working moms. It’s a tough balance but really fulfilling. I’m more in touch with the vulnerable, loving side of myself. I’m meticulous about the things I do and the people I invite into my life. You describe your album as a time capsule of your 20s. How have you evolved since “Fancy” came out? I’m the same person, but I’m more mature and have different perspectives. You have this superhuman confidence when you’re younger because you have no fear. Today I’m more careful. Everything’s a…

Sisters Find Sweet Success With a Floating Lemonade Stand SEATTLE Eleven-year-old Kate Carner and her sister Quinn, 8, had one complaint when their family moved to a houseboat last year on Seattle’s Lake Union: There was nowhere to set up a lemonade stand. That’s when the girls—with a little help from their dad, Ned Carner, 40—decided to take their entrepreneurial spirit to a new level. Ned, who works in commercial real estate, built a remote-controlled raft and topped it with a small hut. Now the girls spend two days a week selling fresh-squeezed lemonade to kayakers and boaters, while Dad navigates the raft from a nearby kayak. The sisters donate $25 of their daily sales to other women entrepreneurs (at kiva.org) and share regular posts and schedule updates with their…

On Aug. 16 Afghan former special-forces fighter Naveed Mustafa dashed off an urgent note from his home in Kabul: “The Taliban are at my back door,” the 30-year-old father of five texted a friend in the United States. Some four days later he and his wife and five children (the youngest only 5 weeks) were safe in a U.K. hotel, evacuated by British special forces amid the collapse of his homeland to Taliban rule. Tired and hungry—but elated—Mustafa spoke with People less than 48 hours after his family made their harrowing escape. His heart ached for the siblings and parents he had to leave to an uncertain fate under the brutally repressive Taliban. “What happened in Afghanistan,” Mustafa said, “it’s something no one envisioned.” Now it’s something no one will…

Last Time I Danced The other week I went out with my nephew, and we actually danced in a club. It was strange. I was sweaty; it felt like I went to the gym. I’ve got to be coaxed onto the dance floor, but a beautiful smile will get me out there. Last Injury I just had arthroscopic shoulder surgery a few weeks ago. I had arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, I had all the -itises. I’m doing good; I’m healing. Thankfully I’m not doing an action film next. Last Time I Faced a Fear Probably going to my mom’s grave.

then & now! When Crystal Gayle and her big sister Loretta Lynn posed for their joint People cover story in 1978, they were two of country music’s biggest stars. But behind the scenes, they were like any other siblings. “I had brought two identical blouses that were different colors to the shoot, and I didn’t know which one to wear. So, I was told which one I was going to wear!” Gayle recalls with a laugh. “That’s what a big sister can do.” ‘IN MUSIC, THERE’S ALWAYS A CHANGING OF THE GUARD. NOW I JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN’ Gayle, now 70, has always leaned on Lynn, now 89, for no-nonsense guidance. “She got me my first recording contract [in 1970], and she told me the best advice: ‘Don’t sing anything…

My mother and father [Rita and Bob Marley] were givers, and I grew up learning by their example: The more we can help others, the better off we are as individuals and as a community.
