The Texas legislator has never been a fan of same-sex unions, but he’s doubling down on his stance now that he has the court on his side. The landmark 2015 case, known as Obergefell v. Hodges, gave same-sex couples the same fundamental right to marry as opposite-sex couples under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution....

Tiger Woods is one of the greatest athletes the game of golf has ever seen, but he’s getting real about what his body feels like at the age of 45. In his new Golf Digest series, A Round With Tiger: Celebrity Playing Lessons, he lays out his vulnerabilities to Jada Pinkett Smith — and it’s surprising to hear about his insecurities as an elite player. The interview, which was taped the day before his major car crash in Los Angeles in February, psychologically dives deep into the 10 surgeries he’s had to repair his aging body, going back to his first surgery for benign tumors in his left knee in 1994 — being an athlete is not for the faint of heart....

That’s why in an “Open Book” interview with Jenna Bush-Hager to promote the paperback edition of her book, Life Will Be the Death of Me: ....

We’re all stuck at home for the foreseeable future, and that includes celebrities. Jennifer Lopez just gave an interview urging those who could stay home to do so and reflecting on her own work from home life in these uncertain days. One not-so-surprising outcome?
