Leslie Allison-Seei is in charge of fun in her community—literally. As chair of the Focus on Unifying Neighbors (FUN) Commission of Villa Park, Ill., she wanted to find a way to take the organization’s annual pet-adoption event to the next level. She decided to go for the record—the Guinness World Record for the largest dog-wedding ceremony. “I love dogs and weddings,” says Allison-Seei, 61, who also runs an events promotion business. “So I thought, ‘Why not go for it?’” Her 2021 attempt came up short, failing to top the 178-pair mark set in 2007 in Littleton, Colo. But she’s committed to taking another bite at the record in September, where an officiant will perform the group “ceremony”—“They all bark their I do’s at the same time!” Allison-Seei says—followed by photos…

I still want my daughter to think I’m cool … Sofia will be 18 in June. She is going to be leaving for college soon—probably on the East Coast—so I’m trying to treasure every moment. I’m in this perpetual mode of trying to impress her with my domestic skills. I’m constantly cleaning, cooking, organizing or running to Party City to help her host parties for her friends. Having an empty nest will be an adjustment … I grew up within Scientology [Remini married her husband, Angelo Pagan, 63, in 2003, and they left the church in 2013; she has since been a vocal opponent of the religion], so I’ve never been on my own. It feels like I’m coming into a different chapter of my life where it’s not going…

Last Time I Stayed up Late Last weekend I went to a birthday party, and there was dancing afterward. I’m usually the first out there doing my thing. I like to turn it up every once in a while. Last Time I Cursed I curse constantly. I wasn’t allowed to when I was growing up, so when I got old enough, there was a rebellion. I think it’s healthy. Last Time I Felt Like a Kid I have a crush on a lady right now. I feel like I’m in junior high, so that counts. Not saying [who she is] yet, but it’s definitely new and fun. Last Dream I Remember The last dream I had, I woke up with the phrase “Just walk the path that has been…

Chrishell Stause is opening up about love and loss. In her book Under Construction (out Feb. 8), the Selling Sunset star and actress, 40, shares how she found strength in heartbreak. In 2019 her world was rocked when her ex, This Is Us actor Justin Hartley, filed for divorce. “It knocks you on your ass, and you have to really figure out all over again who you are,” says Stause, who had already been dealing with the death of her dad and then lost her mom to cancer in 2020. In the aftermath Stause leaned on her close friends. Last summer she began dating her Selling Sunset costar (and boss) Jason Oppenheim, 44. “I always enter into every relationship with the best hopes,” says Stause, who ended their romance in…

Nearly 40 years ago Lou Diamond Phillips, a self-proclaimed “unknown kid from Texas,” had his heart set on making it in Hollywood. “I knew I was going to be an actor, but I never knew that I would be shot out of a cannon into the stratosphere,” he says of his big break as Mexican American rock and roll pioneer Ritchie Valens in the 1987 biopic La Bamba. “It cemented my trajectory and gave me a little bit of tenure.” Now the 59-year-old father of four is sharing his passion with his daughter (with ex-wife Kelly Phillips), 24-year-old Gracie, as they both guest-star on an episode of Fox’s The Cleaning Lady. “Being on-set and seeing her bring it was so gratifying,” says Phillips. He’s also thankful for his own enduring…

Growing up, my older brothers Mark and Paul and I saw how our parents were always very selfless. Giving back was something that was instilled in us at an early age. My mom and dad have been active in the Tampa Bay, Fla., area for the past 40 years, so in 2015 we decided to create a foundation to give back to the community. The bulk of the work we do is through concerts with our band the Wilson Van. Each event raises money for a different local charity, whether it’s first responders, a homeless shelter or music education. We did a benefit years ago where we helped a young saxophone player, Kyle Schroeder, with a music scholarship, and he’s become an unbelievable musician. I hope my kids [Kassian,…

What’s the most important thing in the world to you? My daughters [Sailor, 5, and Emerson, 8, with husband Nick Swisher] will always be my greatest gift and priority. I am eternally in their corner.…

Rihanna often lets her music do the talking when it comes to her personal life. But on Jan. 28 the pop superstar revealed a glimpse of her growing belly—and the happy news she had previously been keeping under wraps: She’s pregnant! Rihanna and boyfriend A$AP Rocky, both 33, were photographed out in New York City, where the singer bared her jewelry-draped bump beneath a flowing pink coat, confirming that she and the rapper are expecting their first child together. “She couldn’t be happier and is so excited to be a mom,” a source close to the couple says. “They’re just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous, but they’re just the cutest, giddiest young couple that’s expecting.” Though Rihanna and Rocky have been friends for…

Over the past 20 years, Johnny Knoxville has put his body through hell—all for laughs. The actor and mastermind behind the 2000-2002 MTV series Jackass became famous performing daredevil stunts and has suffered, among other things, a broken wrist, cracked ribs and a torn urethra that left him with a catheter for three and a half years. Today, at 50, Knoxville is healed and healthy. “Who would have known I would have gotten here?” he says. Grateful to be alive, he realizes the scars he’s accumulated on the outside have made him tougher inside. “You learn through mistakes. You can’t be the same person you were at 20 at 50,” he adds. “If you’ve done that, you’ve done yourself a disservice.” That doesn’t mean he’s stopped doing what he loves:…

In this audio edition, celebrity couples, like Lisa Rinna & Harry Hamlin, share how they turned “meet cute” into lasting love. Then, a cancer-stricken mom reveals her wish: for someone to date her daughter. 30-year-old Molly Davis was too busy to look for love, so her mother, Beth, took charge with a big idea of her own: a Times Square billboard with a giant picture of a smiling Molly beneath the message “Date My Daughter.” After that, we check in with a few more stars.

Finding lasting love is tough; in my experience you have to love yourself first, then be open to taking chances. I never would have dated my husband—who is 15 years younger than me and, at 6'6", six inches taller—but when we started chatting and I realized we had the same weird sense of humor, I went for it. My happy ending began when we wed three years ago. In this, our second annual Love issue, we explore the idea of taking chances on love—particularly second chances. In her latest film, Marry Me, Jennifer Lopez plays a superstar singer who takes a risk and marries a stranger. In real life she’s rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck—even though they knew the world would swoop in and analyze their every move. While…

Nick Cannon has another baby on the way. On Jan. 31 the TV host revealed on his eponymous talk show that he and model Bre Tiesi are expecting a child—Cannon’s eighth and the first for Tiesi, 30. “It’s a boy,” said Cannon, who is dad to 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey; 4-year-old Golden and 1-year-old Powerful Queen, whose mom is Brittany Bell; and 7-month-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, whom he shares with Abby De La Rosa. Cannon’s youngest son, Zen, whom he welcomed last June with Alyssa Scott, died of brain cancer in December. The impending arrival of another child has been “difficult” for Cannon, he says, because he knew of Tiesi’s pregnancy before Zen’s death. “Even going through all…

Despite a report that Brad Pitt, 58, has been secretly dating the Swedish singer Lykke Li (real name: Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson), 35, a source close to the actor says they are just friends—and there’s no new leading lady in his life. “Brad has a large group of artsy friends that he enjoys hanging out with. Lykke Li and Alia Shawkat are part of this group,” the source says of the “I Follow Rivers” musician and the Search Party actress, 32, the latter of whom was spotted with Pitt in 2019. “He likes having female friends.” The Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood Oscar winner was declared legally single in 2019 amid his ongoing custody battle over his six children with ex Angelina Jolie. Pitt was last romantically…

Janet Jackson recently returned to the spotlight to look back on her life and set the record straight in her Lifetime and A&E documentary Janet Jackson. “Even though Janet was always an incredibly private person, she has wanted to get her story out for some time and hopes to put certain things to rest,” a music source says of the superstar, 55. In the film Jackson discusses her complicated relationships with her dad, Joe, and brother Michael—and finally breaks her silence on the backlash she received after her onstage wardrobe malfunction during her 2004 Super Bowl performance with Justin Timberlake. “It was an accident that should not have happened, but everyone is looking for someone to blame, and that’s got to stop,” Jackson said. “Justin and I are very good…

From Playing Basketball to Oil Painting, This Bunny’s Got Talent LOS ANGELES People find it hard to believe that Shai Asor Lighter’s pet rabbit Bini paints pictures, dunks basketballs, plays the piano and even vacuums—until they see it for themselves on video. “He’s always eager to learn new things,” says Lighter. “He’s very talented.” Lighter adopted Bini, a 6-lb. Holland Lop, almost 10 years ago, when he was just 3 weeks old. Within a year Lighter had taught Bini how to slam dunk on his own tiny basketball hoop and shared the trick on YouTube where “people went nuts,” says the 35-year-old programmer. Since then Bini’s earned more than 240,000 fans on YouTube and 145,000 followers on Instagram (@binithebunny). “Basketball is his favorite game; we play it every night,” says…

At a family birthday celebration dinner in Bar Harbor, Maine, last October, the conversation turned to one of Molly Davis’s favorite topics—love. Davis, 30, a medical device salesperson in Boston, peppered her aunt and uncle Kathy and David Partridge with questions: “How did you meet?” “What drew you to one another?” “When did you know it was real love?” Listening intently across the table was Molly’s mother, Beth, 61, who had been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2020. “I wanted to help Molly find that person who might love her,” recalls Beth, “so I asked her if I could sign her up for a dating app.” Molly agreed to her mom’s heartfelt offer on the spot—and ended up getting much more help than she expected. Last Dec. 28 a…

Motherhood was something that Laquanda “Faye” Jacobs always knew she wanted to experience. The youngest in a blended family with 12 kids, Faye sang in the choir at her Little Rock church and worked at a Burger King, all the while planning for her future: college, launching a career, then having a baby. “I couldn’t wait to get older to have someone to love me, someone I can love and call my own,” she says. “That’s what motherhood is for me.” All her dreams came to an abrupt end in 1992. Jacobs, then 16, was arrested, charged and convicted of murdering 17-year-old former classmate Kevin Gaddy—a crime she insists she did not commit. Sentenced as a juvenile to life in prison without the possibility of parole, Faye eventually garnered the…
