Inside Our (Sixth!) Cover Shoot With Hoda I’ve been covering Hoda Kotb for the past 14 years, ever since the fourth hour of the Today show was first taking off. She and Kathie Lee Gifford were hitting their stride, drinking wine in the morning and sharing an incredible chemistry on-air. Since then, I’ve done six cover stories with her and countless more interviews. When we photographed her with her new baby Haley in 2017, I was expecting my twins—we both sat on the guest bed of her Upper West Side apartment for that interview, because a giant stuffed gorilla gifted by Andy Cohen was taking up a large portion of the seating area. When Hoda replaced Matt Lauer as Today coanchor in 2018, she was on the cover alongside Savannah…

‘HE IS GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT FROM HIS FANS DURING THIS TIME’—JOEL’S REP IN A STATEMENT Billy Joel was gearing up for a historic summer. Set to become the first singer to play concerts at all three New York City-area stadiums in the same season, the music icon was forced to press pause on those plans due to a private health crisis. On May 23, Joel, 76, announced he would be canceling all scheduled concerts while revealing in a statement to People that he was recently diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a brain condition caused by excess cerebrospinal fluid buildup in the brain ventricles that can affect memory, movement and concentration. “I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience and thank you for understanding,” Joel said. The “Piano Man” singer…
Demi Lovato has gotten her happily ever after. The musician, 32, exchanged vows with singer-songwriter Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, 34, on May 25 at the Clark Estate in Santa Barbara. “The wedding setting was pure magic,” a source says. “Demi looked stunning—mostly smiling, though there were a few emotional moments that clearly moved her.” For her walk down the aisle, she chose a cathedral-style veil and custom-corseted Vivienne Westwood gown, according to Vogue. Later, wedding guest Paris Hilton did an impromptu DJ set. Lovato and Lutes first met in the studio in January 2022 while working on Lovato’s studio album Holy Fvck. Nearly two years later, in December 2023, Lutes popped the question with a pear-shaped diamond ring. Following the ceremony Lovato slipped into another Vivienne Westwood look—an ivory silk…

Cudi, 41, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, told jurors he got a call from his dog-sitter saying his car was on fire: “I immediately went to my house. The top of my Porsche was cut open, and that’s where they inserted the Molotov cocktail.” Asked about his reaction, he recalled thinking, “What the f---?” In testimony on May 14, Ventura, 38, claimed Combs, 55, became jealous when he learned that she and Mescudi had dated and threatened to have Mescudi’s car…
