Baldwin, 60, the youngest of the four Baldwin acting brothers, laid out the full arc of his conversion in an interview published by the Daily Mail on Sunday. He got sober in 1989, married his Brazilian wife Kennya in 1990, and by 2001 had become a born-again Christian. Every career decision since, he said, has followed from that turn. In a culture that treats religious conviction as either a punchline or a marketing gimmick, Baldwin's account stands out for its plainness. He is not launching a comeback. He is not apologizing.…Open

Grande pushed back on the framing that her break was a reaction to recent scrutiny, telling the crowd that "sometimes, when a story comes out that's not directly from me, things can get a little blown out of proportion." The representative's statement, first…Open

Fonda, 88, and Schmidt, 71, are working through Clean and Healthy California, an environmental PAC that Schmidt seeded with more than $5 million and that has poured $7 million since June into defeating the measure. …Open
