For a decade stylists Stacy London and Clinton Kelly picked apart clients’ wardrobes on What Not to Wear. Now, 13 years after the TLC show ended, London, 55, and Kelly, 56, preach individuality on Prime Video’s Wear Whatever the F You Want. Why the shift in how you approach styling?

The Four Seasons | NETFLIX Tina Fey and Steve Carell star on a sitcom about how love binds—and wounds COMEDY Tina Fey’s sensibility as writer-actress-producer was established with her great NBC sitcom 30 Rock. The jokes landed as lightly as mosquitoes, and with a tiny but precise satiric bite. On Seasons, Fey works in a different key. It’s a reboot of the hit 1981 film directed by and starring Alan Alda, who back in those days was regarded (condescendingly) as Hollywood’s ambassador of nice—a marshmallow dissolving in a hot, sweet beverage. With this eight-episode sitcom, Fey has Alda-ized herself. The show, which follows three couples as they meet up for quarterly getaways, is a bit square, but also soothing, charming and kind. The way this year’s going, we’ll take it!…

For decades Sean “Diddy” Combs reigned in the entertainment world. But now the 55-year-old disgraced mogul—worth as much as $1 billion just three years ago—spends his days moving with little fanfare through the maze of hallways and rooms that make up the federal justice system, his once jet-black hair and beard faded to gray. Eight months after being arrested in the lobby of a five-star Manhattan hotel, the man now known as inmate 37452-054 is going on trial on racketeering, sex trafficking and other charges, accused of abusing numerous people. Jury selection is set to begin on May 5, and the proceedings are expected to take eight weeks. Combs, however, has remained defiant, denying all wrongdoing. “[It’s] sad.… I’m Puff Daddy in jail,” he told Kanye West in a leaked…

Michael Bolton’s voice has seen him through the best and worst times of his life. That soulful baritone helped him sell more than 65 million records and earned him two Grammys throughout his 50-year career—and after he awoke from emergency brain surgery on Dec. 4, 2023, it served as a beacon of hope amid uncertainty. “He was in recovery in the hospital room singing within minutes,” his daughter Holly, 47, recalls of Bolton belting “Proud Mary.” “His voice was so powerful. I was like, ‘We need to close the door!’ ” That moment was one of relief for Holly and her sisters Isa, 49, and Taryn, 45. Over the past year and a half Bolton’s daughters have leaned into moments of joy and levity as their dad, 72, tackles his…

From People’s May 10, 1999, issue: The experts agree: There’s no one quite like Michelle Pfeiffer. “Unbelievably beautiful,” says Rob Reiner, who recently directed her in the romantic comedy The Story of Us, due at Christmastime. And Michael Hoffman, director of this month’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, calls Pfeiffer “the Greek ideal,” adding that “the closer you get the camera to her face, the more beautiful she is. It has something to do with the structural perfection of her beauty, the marble-y cool quality of it.” Pfeiffer used to give such unabashed compliments a big quack. “I look like a duck” was her analysis in People in 1990, when she was the cover girl of our first-ever 50 Most Beautiful issue. “It’s the way that my mouth sort of…
