In an interview with People magazine published April 22, the Oscar-nominated “Substance” actress, 62, reflected on what she’s “most grateful” for when it comes to her relationship with her ex-husband.

“Regardless of what the outside relationship has been, we have maintained being a family in various forms, and that the foundation of where it started has stayed,” she shared. “The foundation of being a family, the foundation of making our children our priority, has never wavered.”

Moore and Willis were married from 1987 to 2000, and they share three adult daughters: Rumer, 36; Scout, 33; and Tallulah, 31. The “Die Hard” star, who retired from acting after being diagnosed with dementia in 2023, also shares two daughters with his current wife, Emma Heming Willis.

In 2021, Rumer Willis told People magazine that she is “incredibly grateful” that her parents “made such an effort my entire life that I never felt like I had to choose between them” after their divorce.

The retrial comes before a Manhattan jury a year after New York’s highest state appeals court overturned the disgraced movie mogul’s conviction.

Weinstein, 73, faces one rape count and two criminal sexual act counts. The Oscar winner, once one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers, has pleaded not guilty and denied ever assaulting anyone or having nonconsensual sex.

At the center of the retrial are three women, with two alleging that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on them in 2006 and another who claims he raped her in 2013. The retrial began in New York court April 15 with jury selection.

This summer, he’ll release “Roll with the Punches,” his 17^th studio album and first since 2022’s wryly titled, “So Happy it Hurts.”

That the Canadian hitmaker behind such sonic wallpaper as “Run to You,” “Heaven,” “Summer of ’69,” “Can’t Stop This Thing We Started” and “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You” – all Top 40 smashes – is still crafting fist pumpers laced with melody isn’t surprising.

But that he sounds as appealingly raspy at 65 as he did as a twentysomething warrants notice.

“You make it sound like you discovered an Egyptian tomb,” Adams says with a laugh when asked how he preserves his distinctive voice.

The first Biden-era press secretary is set to host a new MSNBC primetime show premiering May 6 with an aptly titled nod to her year as White House spokesperson. Her new marquee program “The Briefing,” airing Tuesday through Friday (9 ET/PT) replaces the network’s top-rated “Rachel Maddow Show” after Maddow finishes her 100-day weeknight run following President Donald Trump’s re-inauguration. (Alex Wagner was initially promised the slot in January, before a management change at MSNBC; “Maddow” will continue to air on Mondays.)

In May 2022, she became one of the first high-profile members to leave the Biden White House to become a contributor at MSNBC, where as a rising star she was elevated to the anchor desk with “Inside” in 2023. That show, currently on Sundays and Mondays, will end with Psaki’s move.

Despite the network’s leftward leanings, the mom of two (with husband Gregory Mecher) says she plans to cover Trump with a fresh approach.

Hulu, which streams “Dancing with the Stars” after it airs on Disney+ and ABC, announced at their Get Real event on April 22 that Robert Irwin would join this year’s cast of the reality competition show.

Irwin, the 21-year-old son of late zookeeper and conservationist Steve Irwin, is the first celebrity contestant to be announced.

The youngest Irwin child is not the first in his family to compete on the show, walking in the legacy of sister, Bindi Irwin, 26, who took home the Mirrorball Trophy during Season 21 alongside her pro partner, Derek Hough. 

The actress stunned at the Marvel film’s United Kingdom premiere in London on April 22, in a signature sheer look, wearing a semi-nude, black Elie Saab gown with lace tulle that revealed her torso and legs. She complemented the ensemble with superhero sleek hair pulled back and a bold, mask-like red eyeshadow.

Pugh, 29, has made showing skin – and more on occasion – her red carpet aesthetic, including sheer gowns and nipple-baring numbers, which have garnered some scrutiny. But the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” star told the Times in an interview published in December that it was her “mission in this industry” to push back “whenever anyone expects my body to morph into an opinion of what’s hot or sexually attractive.”

The ever-candid actress took to Instagram hours before the premiere to share an unfiltered post about her hectic premiere day.

“Racing around town as fast as my clackers can go, hair is constantly flapping in my face,” she wrote on her Instagram stories on top of a selfie of herself in a car, with a wide-eyed, mock-panic face. “Consumed too much coffee my heart might just actually start rolling around like a pinball. Of course there’s a spot on my lip.”

The “Last of Us” star, 50, stepped out at the “Thunderbolts” premiere in London on April 22 wearing a white T-shirt with the phrase “protect the dolls.” The shirt is used to express support for trans women, who are sometimes referred to as dolls.

Fashion designer Conner Ives created the shirt and wore it at London Fashion Week in February. He told The New York Times that he woke up the morning after his fashion week show with a flood of emails asking where to buy it.

According to Ives’ website, proceeds from the sale of the shirt are being donated to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit that offers support to trans people in crisis. Weeks before Ives debuted the shirt, President Donald Trump announced the federal government would recognize only two sexes, male and female.

Pascal was previously spotted wearing the shirt while celebrating his 50th birthday. The actor has been a vocal supporter of the transgender community for years, and his sister, Lux Pascal, came out as a trans woman in 2021. At the time, the “Mandalorian” star took to Instagram to share the cover of a Chilean magazine where his sister came out as trans. “Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux,” he wrote, which translates to, “My sister, my heart, our Lux.”

Readers have had a new “Wimpy Kid” book (sometimes two) to look forward to every year since the original published in 2007. Now, in the months leading up to “Partypooper,” the series’ 20th installment, author Jeff Kinney has something up his sleeve.

Kinney shared exclusively with USA TODAY that he’s gifting 20,000 books a month until he hits 160,000 total to kids across the country in partnership with nonprofit First Book.

It’s a big year for Kinney and Abrams Books, which publishes “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” Not only is book 20 on the horizon, but they’re also approaching 300 million copies sold.
