Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays of the year (especially if you’re a food person), but it can also be one of the most stressful. Travel is expensive, families can be hard to deal with, and cramming a dozen people into a table that only seats half as many is a real challenge. Not to mention, cooking so many dishes, for so many people, sometimes seems like an impossible feat....
Meghan Markle has drawn comparisons to Princess Diana ever since she first began dating Prince Harry, at first simply for the revolutionary effect it was assumed she would have on the monarchy and later for her tendency to mirror the late Diana’s warmth, personable touch, and, ultimately, deep distress at the hands of the paparazzi that besieged her. But Princess Diana’s voice coach and friend Stewart Pearce reminds us that Meghan and Diana were actually in two very different situations when they joined the royal family — and given the way that Meghan’s situation differed, he isn’t at all surprised that she was able to push back on the royal family with more confidence, ultimately staging her exit in January 2020 with Harry by her side....

A staple of teen and children’s TV at this point is the “very special episode” format that takes ripped-from-the-headlines issues and stories and brings them into the world of characters your kids already connect with. While your memories of these PSA kind of stories may be at-best cheesy and at-worst cringe-y, it’s somehow always really satisfying to see the media geared toward kids trying to help them frame these important conversations....
Alec and Hilaria Thomas Baldwin’s home life is so idyllic it’s almost surreal, especially for an actor who’s always been a little more Mean Streets than Daddy Daycare.

If you ask us, there are few things more refreshing in the entertainment world than when celebrities share makeup-free selfies. When you work in Hollywood, it’s basically your job to look flawless and glamorous 24/7. Going to a big premiere? Bring on the beauty squad. Got a hot date night? Ooh, a nighttime look. Walking your trash to the street can? Yep, gotta have a full face for that, too. And hey, we totally understand — when you’re a celebrity, you have paparazzi tracking your every move, just waiting to pop out from behind a parked car and snap a picture at any given moment....
Mardi Gras, as it is celebrated in much of the world, is hardly a kid-friendly affair. And it’s not just because it was co-opted as a drinking holiday more recently, like St. Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo in America. The drunken revelry is, typically, part of the point. Mardi Gras, which can also be called Carnival depending on where it’s being celebrated, literally means “Fat Tuesday” and marks the final day of hard-partying before Lent....
Today, we honor moms everywhere for all the hard work they do. We shower them in love and presents. It’s all well and good. But for many trans moms, Mother’s Day carries a heavier meaning: This is their chance to be — both privately and publicly — acknowledged as women and as mothers, in a world that didn’t always see them that way, and may not still. After all, how would you feel if your kids refused to call you “mom”?...
I texted, “So if I show up to the theater five minutes early, would you greet me with a long hug?” He replied, “…absolutely I would.” Standing at the entrance of the movie theater, I thought of the question I posed to Bryan on a popular dating site after we decided we would meet. Did I seem too desperate? What would hugging him feel like? Would he smell nice? Would it feel awkward?...
Hypothetical question: Would you marry someone who adamantly refuses, with no reason, to let your daughter have a role in your upcoming wedding, even though their children all have major roles in the ceremony?

The world can be divided into two groups of people — those who love the thrill of a good scary movie, and those who cannot handle them, nor do they want to. You’ve probably realized that kids are the same way. But when it comes to deciding what you should and shouldn’t let your child watch this Halloween, you might want a little bit more nuanced advice than that. Will you scar them for life by letting them watch your favorite horror film with you?...
