Was It Really That Long Ago? I first started working on staff at People in 2005—which does not feel like very long ago to me, but, um … it’s been 20 years. I think a lot of millennials (I’m technically an “older millennial”) in particular don’t realize how fast time has flown by, perhaps because of those weird pandemic years that didn’t quite feel real. So what we’re discovering here at People is that nostalgia as a topic is more popular than ever—and what nostalgia is to you depends entirely on your age bracket. For me, nostalgia is all about what was happening in the culture that first year I was working professionally here at People—The Office was on the air, Brangelina made their debut, and the Pussycat Dolls and…

After performing on Saturday Night Live for the first time in nearly five years on March 29, Morgan Wallen made an early exit from the stage that had some viewers—and cast member Kenan Thompson—calling out what they viewed as rude behavior. Host Mikey Madison thanked everyone for a “wonderful show,” and Wallen whispered something in her ear before walking offstage ahead of the show’s cast and crew, breaking a long-standing tradition. Shortly after, he shared a photo of a private jet on his Instagram Stories along with the words “Get me to God’s country.” The following day a source close to the country star told Variety that he enjoyed his time on the show, and he didn’t mean to offend anyone with his exit or Instagram post. They also…

Will Smith is finally addressing his infamous Oscars slap—in his lyrics. The Bad Boys star, 56, alludes to the fallout he faced after hitting Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards on his first album in 20 years, Based on a True Story. The LP opens with gossiping voices calling Smith “canceled” and saying, “You better keep his wife’s name out of your mouth”—a reference to what Smith yelled at Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Raps Smith: “My s---’s still hot even though I won’t get nominated/ Personal life with my wife, mind your business, it’s complicated.” While the album has gotten mixed reactions (Rolling Stone called it “cringey”), a source says Smith “needed this release” after a “rough” few years:…

Health Former Bachelorette Katie Thurston, 34, revealed on March 28 that her breast cancer has spread to her liver, putting her at stage 4. Crime NYPD Blue actress Kim Delaney, 63, was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon following a domestic incident on March 29. Her partner James Morgan was also charged with domestic violence. Yolanda Saldívar, 64, who was found guilty of murdering Selena Quintanilla-Peréz in 1995, was denied parole on March 27.

When Dave Navarro first saw Vanessa DuBasso in a movie trailer in 2017, the Jane’s Addiction musician, 57, was instantly smitten. He reached out to the film’s director, who happened to be a friend, and asked if the actress, 32, would be interested in a date. She was—and the pair hit it off. “I was immediately drawn to Dave’s green chestnut eyes, tattoos and dark humor,” says DuBasso. “His whole being is powerfully magnetic, and it was love at first sight.” After eight years together, the couple tied the knot on March 29, surrounded by a towering forest and the ruins of an Edwardian castle in Stranraer, Scotland. “We wanted our wedding to feel like a dream,” says Navarro of the nuptials planned by Wendy Parker Events. “It was important…

Michelle Monaghan’s favorite saying may be “This too shall pass,” but thanks to her standout role in season three of The White Lotus, the actress, 49, is happy to relish the present. “I’ve been around [Hollywood] for 25 years. I know that there is an ebb and a flow in any career. And so this is a real celebratory moment for me,” she says of starring on the hit HBO show. She’s also shining bright offscreen, landing her debut beauty campaign for U Beauty. For Monaghan, taking care of her skin goes deeper than just her appearance. More than a decade ago she was diagnosed with melanoma, which she says was “a turning point” in her life. Now sunscreen is a “nonnegotiable,” and she relies on her U Beauty products…

Richard Chamberlain, the handsome leading man dubbed “the king of the miniseries” by The New York Times thanks to his TV work on Shōgun and The Thorn Birds in the ’80s, died of complications from a stroke at 90 on March 29. The California native—who first rose to fame on the 1960s NBC series Dr. Kildare—is survived by his longtime partner Martin Rabbett, who called Chamberlain “an amazing and loving soul.”…

This is the first time you’re clearly expressing your feelings about women in your lyrics. How does that feel? It’s intimidating to let other people in on that. I’ve been dating women for years, but I never talk about it. Are you the “Lucy” that Taylor Swift name-drops on The Tortured Poets Department? Yes. She texted me for my approval. I pushed play on the album and was like, “This is so crazy.” Who’s your dream collaborator? Tracy Chapman. Maybe I don’t even need to collaborate—just pay my respects.…

Shortly after opening shop on the morning of what promised to be a busy New Year’s Eve in 2024, hairstylist Ashley Elkins, 30, and her sister Alexis, 22, stood quiet and still behind the blinds of the home that doubled as Ashley’s salon in Warren, Mich. Outside the front door a man who had hastily scheduled an appointment that morning—Ashley’s estranged boyfriend DeAndre Booker, 32—knocked impatiently. “We were trying to figure out what he was doing and thought he was just trying to get her attention because she wasn’t talking to him,” recalls Alexis. After about five minutes Booker gave up and left, she says, while the sisters shrugged off the incident as harmless. “They were giggling,” says their mother, Monika Elkins. Two days later Monika called and texted Ashley…

When E.A. Hanks’s mother, Susan Dillingham, died, she left behind the usual miscellany: a threadbare quilt from her daughter’s bed, a potato masher, a binder of poetry, a trove of papers and more. Only years later did E.A. (short for Elizabeth Anne), 42, discover among those papers a mysterious red journal. “It wasn’t a journal with dates, but more stream of consciousness,” she says, “and I read her description of her father committing this horrible crime.” Almost two decades after Susan’s death from lung cancer in 2002 at age 49, E.A. took to the road to learn more about her mother, who was the first wife of her father, Tom Hanks, and her strange, shocking words. Susan was a troubled woman who had long struggled with mental illness and addiction.…

JANE FONDA TELLS ALL IN EXPLOSIVE MEMOIR From People’s April 18, 2005, issue: Frank and reflective, like Jane Fonda herself, the actress’s new memoir My Life So Far offers an intimate look at her loves and losses, her professional triumphs and private heartbreaks. Now 67 and mother to Troy, 32, Vanessa, 36, and Lulu, 37, and grandmother to Malcolm, 5, the Academy Award winner, divorced from third husband Ted Turner since 2001, lives in Atlanta. Now friendly with Turner, Fonda writes that she has felt lighter since their marriage ended. In fact, she made a move that she never could have imagined as an ingenue: I began to feel an urgent need to have those [breast] implants removed, because I now saw these appendages as sad reminders of a…

Prince Harry and his longtime friend Prince Seeiso of Lesotho announced their “devastating” decision to resign as patrons of Sentebale on March 26. The Duke of Sussex cofounded the charity in 2006 in memory of his mother, Princess Diana, to support young people affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis in Lesotho and across southern Africa. “What’s transpired is unthinkable. We are in shock that we have to do this, but we have a continued responsibility to Sentebale’s beneficiaries, so we will be sharing all of our concerns with the Charity Commission as to how this came about,” they said in a joint statement. The resignations of both princes, along with Sentebale’s board of trustees, stem from a breakdown in relations with chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka, who was appointed in July 2023.…

Four months after ending their engagement, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly welcomed their first child together, a girl, on March 27. Despite the arrival, Fox, 38, and the musician (né Colson Baker), 34, “won’t be getting back together,” a Fox source says, while another insider adds that they’re “on the same page when it comes to co-parenting.” Days earlier MGK and Brian Austin Green, the father of Fox’s sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, had a social media spat in which the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 51, shared a DM from MGK that called him “Mr. Child Actor” and demanded an apology for “speaking on my name in public.”…

Sisters’ Small-Town Inn Makes Them Real-Life Gilmore Girls Welland, Ont. Kristen and Kathryn Groom always wanted to start a business. But the first one their parents thought was a “good idea” was a bed-and-breakfast—and three years after taking over the Rose Manor, the sisters are doing solid business (and drawing millions of fans online) thanks to their similarities to the beloved TV show. And yes, there’s even a nearby coffee shop run by a man named Luke. These Dogs Have the Pawfect Bedtime Routine Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. A spare room in Corey and Emma Moriarty’s home served as inspiration for a “special place”—and sweet nightly routine—for their three dogs, who get tucked into their bunk bed, snuggle up with their stuffed animals (and special pj’s) and doze off to…

Melinda French Gates has a quick, considered answer for almost everything when she sits down with People—and then it’s time to discuss her divorce from Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates. Asked about her response to “betrayals” in her marriage, which she recounts in the new book The Next Day, Melinda takes a long pause before replying: “You have to stay true to yourself always, right?” That’s one of the lessons she’s now ready to share as she opens up about her life’s most transformative moments. The philanthropist is detailing how she decided to leave one of the world’s richest men, yes, but also a lot more. “I’m not trying to give advice to anybody,” says Melinda, cognizant of her own “absurd” privilege. But at 60, she’s been through a lot: the…

When Lea Salonga dons a purple blazer to sing a ballad in her new Broadway show Old Friends, she thinks of her son “instantly,” she says. Not only has purple always been Nic Chien’s favorite color, but Stephen Sondheim’s “Loving You” lyrics—“Loving you is not a choice, it’s who I am”—make it easy for Salonga to do what that song requires. “You have to think of the person that you love the most in this world,” the Tony Award winner, 54, says of her only child, whom she shares with her husband, entrepreneur Robert Chien. “Every night I sing it, that’s exactly who’s in my mind.” At 18, Nic is around the same age his mother was when she left her native Manila to originate the role of Kim in…

Last Time I Sang Out Loud I sang “Happy Birthday” to somebody onstage in my show, but I’m a terrible singer. I was very apologetic afterwards. And I like to sing Dolly Parton songs like “Jolene” in front of my daughter [Dessa, 14] to make her laugh. Last Indulgence I’m allergic to dairy, but I live half of the year in Paris, so I’m always eating my favorite cheese. But then I’m always sneezing and itching my eyes afterward. Last Tattoo I Got You know what? I did one on my left wrist with invisible ink [for a trick]. You hit it with a certain light to make it show up. As a matter of fact, I even forgot that I did it because it’s invisible, but you just…
