Hannigan tells Us more about her happy family. Q: Are your girls interested in show business? My younger daughter wants to go on America’s Got Talent, and I asked, “What are you going to do?” She was like, “I don’t know. I’ll figure it out when I get there.” They love going to premieres, and as long as they’re just kids, I’ll support whatever they want — but they’ll have to prove that they want it. Q: Is it exciting to do a show they can watch? Definitely!…

He seemed invincible. Superhuman, even. Kobe Bryant was a force of nature during his 20 years as a Los Angeles Laker, so when news broke on Jan. 26 that he’d died in a helicopter crash at age 41, the world seemed to stop spinning. TRAGIC END The pro was traveling via his helicopter in foggy conditions to daughter Gianna’s basketball game when it crashed in Calabasas, Calif. (below, inset left), killing everyone on board: Gianna, 13; her teammate Alyssa Altobelli and her parents, John and Keri; teammate Payton Chester and her mother, Sarah; their basketball coach, Christina Mauser; and pilot Ara Zobayan. SHOCK & DISBELIEF The tragedy sent ripples across the country. About 30 miles east of the scene, fans in Lakers gear gathered at the Staples Center — Bryant’s…

JENNIFER & JOHN What a Girl Wants Garner and her boyfriend of over a Jennifer year, John Miller, are “very much together,” a source exclusively tells Us.

So what’s stopping the couple from tying the knot? Jen! The insider says Miller “very much wants to marry” Garner, 47, but “he knows she can’t be rushed.” TED & MARY Musical Muses Mary Steenburgen can always find inspiration in husband Ted Danson! “I wrote a song for Ted, and I will say it’s not like any other song I’ve written,” the Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist actress, 66, told Us at the TCA NBC winter press…

No rest for the weary — in this case, Kate. The past few months “have been the most challenging of her career,” says an insider. But judging by some of her recent appearances and obligations (see photos), the duchess appears to be enjoying her duties.

Zac Efron and Olympic swimmer Sarah Bro have called it quits, a source exclusively confirms to Us: “It just wasn’t working out.” (In March 2019, Us exclusively broke the news that they were dating.)

The actor and his new love, 26, “spent the holidays together,” says the source, who adds, “They’re in a serious relationship and in love.”…

Remember that wholesome, smiling people pleaser Taylor Swift? She can’t come to the phone right now — or ever! In the fascinating Netflix documentary Miss Americana — which premiered Jan. 23 at the Sundance Film Festival — the pop star speaks frankly about her struggles with an eating disorder, her psychological trauma stemming from the Kanye West MTV VMAs incident and how her own #MeToo experience led to her first public political endorsement, of a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Tennessee. (During the premiere, her line about the decision, “Even if this doesn’t work, at least I tried,” led to spontaneous applause.) On stage after the film, Swift, 30, was greeted with a standing ovation as well as loud shrieking from members of her fan club, who’d lined…

The two things Elaine Hendrix looks for in a bag? Sustainability and sensibility — and her vegan Shiraleah tote fits the bill! “I’m a Capricorn,” explains the star of the CW’s Dynasty (Fridays, 9 P.M.). “We tend to be more on the practical side.” The Parent Trap actress, 49, lets Us take a peek inside.

Things went from bad to worse between the once-inseparable brothers when Harry spoke openly of their rift in Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, the Sussexes’ documentary, which aired in October. For William, it was the final straw — and one that prompted him to give his younger sibling an ultimatum: Next time, talk to me first or we’re through. “William told Harry how much it hurt to hear negative things before they’d had a chance to discuss them as brothers,” says a source. PEACE TALKS Harry has obliged William’s request, and they’re moving on… for now. “Harry’s happy to go along with William’s suggestion,” says the source. He’s also agreed to be readily available if and when William reaches out. “William was quite adamant about needing Harry to be…

S he’s best known as a reality star, business mogul and fashionista, but Kim Kardashian West’s true passion is less glamorous. In Oxygen’s new documentary Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project (April 5, 7 p.m.), she goes inside prisons to meet people incarcerated for life and find out what landed them there. “It’s definitely changed me,” she tells Us exclusively. “I used to maybe be a bit more judgmental. It just really opened my heart and made me a completely more empathetic person.” LEGAL EAGLE Kardashian West, who just finished her first year of law studies with the help of Jessica Jackson (above), cofounder of criminal-justice-reform organization #Cut50, explores four different cases in the program, with the goal of determining whether a life sentence was just. It’s a continuation of…

FRIDAY 1/31 The Assistant There’s buzz galore surrounding this indie because it’s inspired by the Harvey Weinstein scandal. If only it were more empowering. The too-low-key story follows a thankless day in the life of Jane (Ozark’s Julia Garner, excellent), the put-upon assistant to a bully of a never-seen NYC movie mogul. Starting before dawn, she does everything from coordinate travel to make copies of reports to arrange water bottles. She also tentatively leads a parade of beautiful (and naive) women into his office. It’s a frustrating experience all around — Jane gets zero support from coworkers or friends, while audiences never see her triumph, if only for a moment. Does she enable her boss? Perhaps. To that end, the film does shed light on how victims and victimizers can…

1. I love organic raw cashews. I eat a lot of them… I mean, a lot. 2. My first television appearance was on Romper Room with Frizzy, our pet alligator. 3. My family gave me the nickname “Weed” when I was 11 because I shot up like a weed that summer. 4. I’ve been a pescatarian for 32 years. 5. I’m one-quarter Egyptian. 6. My first job was modeling for AM&A’s department store. I was convinced I “invented” the low ponytail: fastened at the nape of the neck with a bow — kind of like our Founding Fathers. 7. I didn’t start riding horses until I was 40. We now have four and one miniature donkey. 8. My hidden talents: I can stand on my head in a cocktail dress,…
