Hallmark movie fixture Alison Sweeney, 45, has reprised her former soap role as bad girl Sami Brady on NBC’s Days of Our Lives and in the new Peacock movie spinoff Days of Our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas (streaming Dec. 16). What do you enjoy most about playing Sami? What I love about this character and what keeps me coming back for more is she is definitely willing to do anything to get what she wants. She has an unusual way of looking at life. Would you ever return to Days full-time? I love playing Sami, but full-time is not the plan for me. I produce and develop content for Hallmark and for other streaming services, so I love getting to do my own projects; I love producing. Does your…

When you come across something as magical and mind-blowing as the music scene in New Orleans, it stays with you. Bono and I went out after a show [in 1997] and saw an 11-year-old called Trombone Shorty perform with this brass funk band. We ended up dancing on the bar until 2 a.m. and left with the sense New Orleans is like nowhere else in the world. Music Rising was born in 2005, when producer Bob Ezrin and I discussed our fears for local musicians post-Hurricane Katrina. We knew they relied on small-venue events and that many would lose their instruments. To date we’ve helped 3,000 musicians get back to work following various disasters and, in turn, aided the preservation of an extremely special music culture. Most recently, on…

In 1992 Kurt Warner was a struggling 21-year-old college football quarterback at the University of Northern Iowa (“I sat on the bench for four years”) whose NFL dreams seemed to be going up in smoke. Then one night a friend invited him out to a local country bar to cheer him up. “I had no idea where we were going,” says Kurt, “and I had no desire to learn how to line dance.” But as fate would have it, also in the bar that night was Brenda, a newly divorced single mom working her way through nursing school. Then 25, Brenda had started taking line-dancing lessons with her mom, who’d insisted she needed to get out more. Kurt asked Brenda to dance, and the rest, as he says, is history.…

One year after he and his wife, Ellie…

The strange saga involving former Empire star Jussie Smollett continues. On Dec. 9 a Chicago jury found the 39-year-old actor and singer guilty of five counts of felony disorderly conduct on charges that he falsely reported to police that he had been the victim of a racist and homophobic attack. On Jan. 29, 2019, Smollett, who is Black and gay, told police that two masked men doused him in bleach, put a noose around his neck and shouted racial slurs at him outside his home.

This is your very first film role—how did you react when you learned you’d gotten it? I screamed an expletive and then said, “This has been the longest year of my life!” I auditioned for Steven about eight or nine times over 340 days, which is crazy! You’ll also be playing Snow White. Ever dress up as her as a kid? No, but my mom did for Halloween when I was in pre-K. I was Belle. As a Latina actress, what stereotypes do you hope to end? How many times in my life as a Colombiana have I been referred to as a member of the Colombian drug cartel? We are a joyful people.…

In 2012 Hilary Farr was in the midst of filming her HGTV home-renovation show Love It or List It when she went in for a routine mammogram. The results were frightening: Doctors found a suspicious lump, and Farr immediately underwent surgery. Lab results confirmed that the tumor was precancerous, not malignant, and she put her panic to rest. “I felt so much relief,” she recalls. With her health scare seemingly behind her, she says, “I moved on.” But it was only the beginning of her ordeal. Over the next three years Farr, 70, was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and survived two additional lumpectomies, radiation therapy and, she says, a medical error that could have cost her her life—all while keeping the battle a secret from nearly everyone around her.…

It was the last night of the 2017 Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas, and Austin Monfort and Chantal Melanson were pushing toward the stage to catch a glimpse of the day’s big act: Jason Aldean. The pair had crossed paths the night before at a Vegas bar, but Chantal, 27, a prison administrator from Canada, and Austin, a 22-year-old California college student, were still trying to figure out if they were into each other as they stood on the asphalt festival grounds, pressed closely together by the 20,000 country music fans. As Aldean launched into his ballad, “When She Says Baby,” Chantal thought she heard fireworks. “I didn’t think anything of it,” she says. “At a festival, there’s always some pyrotechnic stuff onstage.” Austin knew it was something…

Last Time I Danced About two days ago with my kids [Edie, 6, and Delilah, 2] in our kitchen. I am always informed that I must dance, and, like a sort of puppet, I have to get up and swing them around. Last Thing I Discovered About Myself I can spend a very, very long time perfectly happily coloring in books with two very small children. If I’m building something or coloring something in, then I’m all right. Last Time I Cried Watching The Great British Bake Off. I’m dyslexic, and there was a woman on it who baked a dyslexic cake, and she said it was like the inside of her brain. It was so beautiful it literally had me bawling on the sofa. Last Moment of Bliss I…
