Viola Davis says shingles came at a time when she was "running myself into the ground" while balancing motherhood and her busy career
The actress, 61, says she learned to prioritize her health in a better way and learned the "key to aging beautifully"
Davis now partners with GSK to encourage adults over 50 to discuss shingles prevention with their doctors
Shingles was never on Viola Davis' radar until she was left with "debilitating pain" one day. After dealing with the viral infection more than once, the EGOT winner, 61, is opening up to PEOPLE about her "unusual case" of shingles and how it completely changed her approach to aging.
"I was a new mom. I had just adopted my daughter. I was riding off of my Oscar nomination after The Help. So I was working, working, working, running myself into the ground," she recalls.

Sydney Sweeney has come under fire for another advertising campaign.
The Euphoria actor has teamed up with Novig, a new platform that combines sports trading with prediction-market features and is restricted to users aged 21 and above.
But the conversation isn't about the platform, which she is the new strategic partner and equity holder for. Instead, the marketing campaign has sparked a debate about how women are represented in sports.
The minute-long ad, ****** led "Just Sports," features the Christy actress posing in nothing but strategically placed footballs, basketball hoops, hockey pads, and a pool cue. The concept is that the platform focuses on sports and nothing else.
Marissa Womack, manager of game day promotions for the Harrisburg Senators, addressed the video and its backlash in a TikTok video: "This isn't about me being jealous or insecure. It's about the fact that this is already a male-dominated field where we constantly have to prove we belong. When the only representation is ****** ualization, you see fewer and fewer young women wanting to pursue this industry."

Now that the late Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress" is heading to auction at Sotheby's, one particular person has their eye on taking it home.
A Friday, September 11, report in journalist Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack claims the late royal's son Prince Harry is incredibly fond of his mother's iconic ensemble.
"He doesn't want it disappearing into a collector's closet," a source told Shuter, adding that the Duke of Sussex, 41, "believes it should stay connected to Diana" and "belong to" wife Meghan Markle.
Diana — who was just 36 when she died on August 31, 1997, following a car crash in Paris — was known for her incredible fashion sense and became synonymous with the term "revenge dress."
On June 29, 1994, the royal stepped out for a gala held at the Serpentine Gallery in London wearing a black, fitted, chic, off-the-shoulder dress by designer Christina Stambolian that featured an asymmetrical hemline and chiffon train.

Samoyeds are a wonderful bundle of white fluff and friendliness. The breed made headlines this week, too.
The Samoyed of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift made a hit with folks when i posted along with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end for Tommy Hilfiger's Fall 2026 campaign.
It takes a great deal to steal the show from the football great and his pop singer artist, but this dog managed to do just that. "Are you kidding me?" Kelce told Vogue. "She lights up my day."
Hilfiger was looking for a dog to take part in the shoot and Kelce offered the Samoyed.
"We figured, why not her? She crushed it, and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too," Kelce told Vogue. "Those are some of my favorite shots."

A Childless Woman Who Made Children Her Cause

Dolly Parton never had children of her own, but few entertainers built a more enduring legacy around helping young people. Through the Dollywood Foundation, Parton supported education, literacy and other child-focused initiatives, including a 1991 program that helped reduce a Tennessee high-school's dropout rate from 35% to 6% by offering students a $500 graduation incentive.
Her most famous effort, however, is the Imagination Library, launched in 1995 in honor of her father, who never learned to read. The program grew from a local project into an international literacy initiative, providing children with free, age-appropriate books every month.
Parton once explained her decision not to have children by saying, "God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine." That philosophy became particularly meaningful through her philanthropy, which treated access to books and education as something every child should have.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, 'Look of the Week' is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days.
In a post-Rihanna world, we all like to talk about how maternity wear — or at least the expectations of how pregnant women should dress — is forever changed. Rihanna, after all, when carrying each of her three children wore exactly what she might have done were she not pregnant at all: rather than elasticated waistbands and drab smocks, she was seen in lace bodysuits, corsets, crop tops and mini-skirts.

Baby ***** ps have become certified red carpet accessories. Celebrities wear their bellies popping out of keyhole cut outs in second-skin gowns, as was the case with Adriana Lima's Cannes red carpet run in 2022; decorated with gold leaf, like Ciara at "The Color Purple" premiere in 2023 or framed inside a puffy Schiaparelli two-piece, like Sienna Miller's pregnancy announcement at Vogue World that same year. Meanwhile, shopping habits are changing. Lyst data suggested that searches for maternity clothes have dropped by as much as 45%. We are in a brave new world of ***** p dressing, defined by our own tastes and identities. Hurray! Or are we?

The ongoing friction between President Donald Trump and pop superstar Taylor Swift reached a fresh flashpoint on social media after the campaign's official TikTok account targeted the singer in a post that was later muted.
The TeamTrump account, which commands roughly 14 million followers, posted a video celebrating August, featuring Trump and First Lady Melania Trump watching fireworks.
The post originally used Swift's 2020 track "August" as its background music, accompanied by a caption directly taunting the pop icon, who married Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in July.
The TikTok video included text overlaid across the screen stating, "Mood because it's August and Donald Trump is your president." The accompanying caption took a direct jab at the singer, reading: "I'm sure Taylor Swift is going to be super excited we used her song! #taylorswift #MAGA #august ."
However, by Friday evening, users across the United States noticed that the track had been scrubbed from the clip. In place of the song, TikTok displayed a standard copyright notification stating, "The copyright owner hasn't made this sound available in your country."

Emmy Rossum was back out promoting her Hulu thriller, Furious.

When you think of thrillers, the colour that immediately springs to mind is black, but she did that last week. This time, she opted for two red looks.
Emmy wore a Roland Mouret ensemble that was easily my favourite of the two looks.
This is Roland Mouret doing what he does best. The impeccable cut, sculpted fit and bold red hue combined to create a look that felt polished without being overly formal. I especially liked how the asymmetric waist tie introduced another layer of interest, giving the otherwise minimal design a distinctive finish.

Jersey Shore fans are taking a trip down memory lane after an old photo of Vinny Guadagnino resurfaced online, and it's sparking plenty of reactions.
A Reddit user recently shared a years-old selfie of the MTV star, 38, while discussing one of his more memorable personality traits from the show.
"I was laughing at how meticulous and picky Vinny was," the fan wrote, referring to his well-known attention to detail during his Jersey Shore days.
The throwback photo, believed to be from the early 2010s, shows a much younger Vinny sporting thick-rimmed glasses, a full beard, and his signature voluminous hairstyle.
"Not Vinny with the Pauly D blowout," one commenter joked.

Jane Seymour is not trying to make 75 look like 30.
The Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman star spoke about aging naturally while attending the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala, telling Page Six that her current approach is simple: "no lasers" and "no fillers."
Seymour said she is not trying to erase her age, though she joked that looking 60 "would be nice." Her answer was personal rather than preachy; she tied it to the face she uses for work and the kinds of roles she still wants to play.
At 75, Seymour is still filming, painting and celebrating a new engagement. She told the outlet that she is "the happiest" she has ever been, with a fifth season of Harry Wild, a new movie in Australia and a recent watercolor exhibit in New Jersey all part of the same busy stretch.
Seymour said she has been playing more older women and that the work she cares about now is less about glamour than "serious emotion." For those scenes, she told Page Six, she needs "every muscle to work."
