Single and ready to mingle?   Jana Duggar   might be   an anomaly in her family , hitting 30 and still not married, but she’s OK with that. The  Counting On  star is the second oldest Duggar child (she is also the twin of  John-David ) and the eldest daughter of  Michelle Duggar  and  Jim Bob Duggar . While most of  her siblings have gotten married  and  had kids before turning 30 , she is happy the path she’s on to find love. “I’m not that worried,” the  Growing Up Duggar: It’s All About Relationships  coauthor told  Us Weekly  exclusively in July 2020. “Yes, I long to be married and one day I think that will come, but I think … I’m just also just trying to stay busy with whatever comes along my path.” Since making her reality TV debut on  19 Kids and Counting  in 2008, Jana has continued to march to the drum of her own beat. She has consistently spoken about her journey to romance and marriage — ...

Meryl Streep photographed by Michael Thompson, styled by Camilla Nickerson. Hair by Garren for Garren New York/L’Oréal Paris; makeup by Gucci Westman for Lancôme; manicure by Sheryl Bailey for Jed Root. Fashion assistant: Erin Simon. Mrs. Streep, do you like to cook at home? Some nights I like it, some nights I don’t. I’ve started meals and then just said, “Oh God!” and thrown it in the sink. I have done that and said, “We’re getting pizza, that’s it.” And then I’ll go lie down in my room in a funk.  When my children were very young and I was working I had someone cooking for me. I don’t have a cook now, I haven’t had one for a number of years and I do it myself. But when they were all little it was hard to pay attention to everyone’s homework at the end of the day and make dinner. So what is your specialty today? Lately I’ve been making a lot of pasta. It’s easy. There are unusual tastes that you can combine. I cook because my kids like a certain kind of thing and then they want i...

Joan Collins’s face is Touche Eclat perfect. Her wig doubles the size of her head and she’s wearing a huge black-and-white shagpile coat. Sitting across from the 83-year-old actress in Claridge’s, I feel the most drab I’ve ever felt in my life – and I’m even wearing shiny shoes. In a career spanning six decades and five marriages, Collins has done serious films (‘ Decadence ’), saucy films (‘ The Bitch ’ and ‘ The Stud ’) and is most famous for playing super-bitch Alexis Colby in ’80s TV show ‘Dynasty’.  She also took on another spiky character in ‘The Time of Their Lives’, a film comedy about a former actress breaking out of an old people’s home. In real life, Collins is like a glam aunt you want to sink a bottle of pinot with. She’s cutting, but in a way that’s an adrenaline rush rather than a kick in the guts. When I ask if we can take a picture together she inspects the photos then insists we do it again on her phone. When I ask how a recent dinner with friend David Hockne...

The Founder of Girlboss Media talks about the ups and downs of starting her first company, NastyGal, and how she has been able to productize her unique attitude and sense of style. Before GirlBoss was a book or a Netflix show or a hashtag,  Sophia Amoruso  was running  NastyGal  and reticent to even sit on stage and be interviewed. She finally relented, and this was one of the first she’d ever done. This interview was situated almost exactly between a five-year, almost effortless success story of growth, and a five-year slog that ultimately ended in bankruptcy. But while NastyGal ultimately didn’t work, Amoruso continues to find ways to productize her unique attitude, style and eye. In addition to executive producing the Netflix show based on her life, she’s recently launched a media company for women called  GirlBoss Media . I have mixed feelings on the show and the direction of her media company, as a woman who doesn’t particularly want to b...
