The two were seen kissing, holding hands and touching tongues during a romantic getaway in Palm Beach, Fla., on March 15.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have fired another volley in their ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us director-actor Justin Baldoni. First Reynolds, 48, and then Lively, 37, filed motions to dismiss the January lawsuit Baldoni, 41, filed against them and their PR team alleging defamation and extortion, which was his response to Lively’s December complaint accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation. Lively’s legal team argued that Baldoni’s “vengeful and rambling” claims are an attempt to punish her for speaking out, citing a California law prohibiting retaliation tied to public disclosures of sexual harassment. Reynolds’s lawyers, meanwhile, called Baldoni’s countersuit “frivolous.” They also denied Baldoni’s claim that Reynolds used the Nicepool character in Deadpool & Wolverine to mock and bully him, saying it’s about “hurt feelings” and “thin-skinned…

After Melissa Rivers tied the knot with attorney Steven Mitchel, 63, at the Four Seasons Resort in Wyoming, she was surprised that their wintry nuptials went so smoothly. “Who knew all of my friends could be so well-behaved all at the same time?” Rivers, 57, jokes of her 150 guests. The March 15 wedding nearly didn’t happen. After the couple lost their home in the Palisades fire in early January, Rivers, who is the daughter of the late comedian Joan Rivers, wanted to call the whole thing off. “I was going to cancel,” she says. But her friends had other ideas. “Many of them lost their homes too, and they stepped in and said, ‘We are doing this.’” Now Rivers is so grateful they did. “To be around everyone I…

Randall Park has been on a health journey for the past year, but he has a minor confession: “Last night, I had pizza,” he says. “I’m not the best at tracking nutrition. I’m more mindful than strict.” Staying mindful clearly has been a theme for the Fresh Off the Boat actor, especially as he’s faced some of his greatest personal and professional challenges. Witnessing his father’s death from cancer in May 2024—and turning 50 a few months prior—led Park to reassess his own health. “Seeing my dad ailing and his body breaking down was a wake-up call for me,” he says. “I have a daughter, Ruby. She’s 12 and on the autism spectrum. Just wanting to be healthy as long as possible, to be there for her as long as…

I need sleep. I usually am in bed by 10 o’clock, and I get up at 7. Even if I set my alarm, I will wake up before it. I’m habitually early. My parents never picked me up from school [on time], so I blame them. I sleep in my bra. You get used to it—and your boobs remain perky forever. I wear my Chantelle lace bras. They come in nude and black, and I have about 50 of each. First I say hi to my dog Doug. He comes in bed, and I roll him around for as long as he’ll permit me. Then I let him out. I like to meditate before looking at my phone. It’s a good way to say, “I want to be a kind…

Last Time My Dogs Made Me Laugh As soon as I wake up, they hear the bedroom door and sprint to me for a treat. Blue, my German shepherd, is calm. Murphy is a pit-Staffy mix and jumps all over me. I love it. Last Time I Danced On Valentine’s Day my wife [Katie Aselton] and I put on Magnetic Fields’ “The Book of Love,” which we danced to at our wedding. We had a nice little “pajamas, middle-aged dance” in the kitchen. Last Irrational Fear Flying. The thing that has helped me most is convincing myself, “I’m just in a chair in my living room. That’s all I’m doing.” Last Time I Missed Someone My brother and I will go on a four-day backpacking trip. For two days…

James Van Der Beek was revealed to be the Griffin on The Masked Singer on March 19. Here, the Dawson’s Creek alum and dad of six, 48, discusses his journey on the singing competition series and life since opening up about his colorectal cancer last fall. Did you have any reservations about singing on a big stage? Yes! I had not sung in public in a very, very long time. I used to audition for musicals when I was young and not get the parts, but I do think I sing better now than I did then. Broadway would be a dream. How did you balance the gig while still in treatment for cancer? What was cool was the audience didn’t know about me or the cancer. So whatever was…

Baena, who began going to therapy after the welfare check, last contacted Plaza via text message on the morning of his death. After he died Plaza’s and Baena’s families called his suicide an “unimaginable tragedy,” adding, “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has…

When country singer Ingrid Andress butchered the national anthem at a Major League Baseball event last July, video of the disastrous performance instantly went viral. But it would take her months to watch what she calls “my worst nightmare come true” for herself. She held off, she says, “until I knew that I could watch it with empathy for the girl who was singing it.” To get there, Andress, 33, had to admit that alcohol abuse had caused the wreckage. Then she went to rehab to begin rebuilding her life in sobriety. The journey remains ongoing, but Andress is determined to see it through. Now that she’s resuming her career, she feels compelled to address the episode. Her goal isn’t to make excuses but rather—in 12-step parlance—to make amends. “A…

Back in Brooklyn after living in South Korea for a year, Michelle Zauner is still processing the transition. “I cried for four days leaving Korea,” she recalls over Zoom from her New York City apartment. After catapulting to success with her band Japanese Breakfast and as the author of the bestselling memoir Crying in H Mart, the artist sought respite abroad. “Even when I really enjoy parts of New York, I feel like I’m cheating on my love for Korea,” Zauner, 36, says of the country where she was born. “I was living such a slow life compared to the one that I live here.” It’s understandable that Zauner needed to take her foot off the gas for a little while. Her career ignited in 2021: That year she released…

1 Lipstick Inspired by Jaclyn Smith Over the years that Patrick Foley has created makeup looks for Jaclyn Smith, the two have become best friends.
