Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles are deeply in love, according to an insider familiar with the couple’s relationship. The daughter of Lenny Kravitz and the former One Direction star reportedly cannot bear to be away from one another for long.
The two will have the chance to spend time together in New York City while Styles performs a series of 30 concerts at Madison Square Garden, spanning from August 26 through October 31. However, Kravitz’s demanding commitments may keep her from joining Styles on the rest of his world tour, which includes stops in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, Melbourne, and Sydney.
With Kravitz likely returning for the eagerly awaited third season of HBO’s Big Little Lies among other projects, her tightly packed schedule means she is selecting her roles with care. Since completing filming on How to Rob a Bank last summer—the period when their romance began to draw public attention—she has not officially signed onto new productions.
Zoe is like a heroine from a Brontë novel, everything for love,

Festival Spotlight: Harlem EatUp! and Marcus Samuelsson’s Culinary Vision
Harlem EatUp!, a vibrant festival celebrating Harlem’s rich culture and cuisine, first launched in 2015 attracting 15,000 attendees, 90% of whom had never visited Harlem before. The event was co-created and hosted by Marcus Samuelsson, the acclaimed chef behind Red Rooster on Lenox Avenue, alongside culinary marketer Herb Karlitz.
Marcus said, ‘Harlem is such a great place, let’s bring it to life,’
Karlitz recalled.
I call him the unofficial mayor of Harlem.
Though the pandemic halted the festival, it has since returned in the form of a television special titled EatUp! NYC, which airs on ABC7 NY starting February 14. The series presents Samuelsson’s visits to diverse eateries throughout the city and beyond.
The program highlights iconic establishments including Sylvia’s Restaurant, founded by Sylvia Woods and honored as the Queen of Soul Food. Other featured venues include Evelyn’s Kitchen, renowned for its Banana Pudding Pudgies, and Bar Kabawa in the East Village, led by Barbados-born Chef Paul Carmichael.
Additional stops cover a wide geographic range, from Brooklyn and Newark to Westchester. Special guest Nneka Nurse, a vocal advocate for Caribbean gastronomy on the global stage, joins Samuelsson at select locations to celebrate culinary traditions.
Artist in Focus: Elliot Hightower De Niro’s Creative Journey and Advocacy
Elliot Hightower De Niro, 27-year-old son of Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower, made his art debut at The Winter Show hosted at the Park Avenue Armory. Showcased by Galerie Gmurzynska alongside luminaries like Wifredo Lam, Marjorie Strider, and Roberto Matta, Elliot’s paintings reveal a distinct vitality.
Unbeknownst to many fans and art critics, Elliot is on the autism spectrum. His mother is spearheading the launch of a foundation aimed at supporting neurodivergent adults aged 18 and above, addressing the gap in government resources after childhood.
They need a space where they can express themselves,
Grace Hightower explained.
Elliot has produced over 200 artworks characterized by luminous motion. His mother shared,
There’s light in his work, and movement. He paints so quickly and he’s so focused, he won’t even stop for lunch.
The artistic talent runs in the family; Elliot’s grandparents, Robert De Niro Sr. and Virginia Admiral, were both painters who connected at Hans Hofmann’s summer school in Massachusetts before settling in Greenwich Village. There, they mingled with celebrated novelists, playwrights, and poets.
Christina Applegate and Co-Stars Reunite to Support Multiple Sclerosis Foundation
On Wednesday, Christina Applegate reunited with her Married With Children castmates Ed O’Neill, Katey Sagal, and David Faustino at Los Angeles’s Wiltern Theatre for an event called An Evening with The Bundys. The gathering offered the actors a chance to share behind-the-scenes anecdotes from their decade-long sitcom.
The reunion benefited Nancy Davis’ Race to Erase MS foundation, which has raised nearly $58 million for multiple sclerosis research since its founding in 1993. Davis herself battles MS, as does Applegate, who publicly disclosed her diagnosis in 2021 during the final season of Netflix’s Dead to Me.
Applegate frequently discusses life with MS on her podcast MeSsy, co-hosted with fellow actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has the disease.
In a recent 2024 episode, Applegate revealed the depth of her struggle, sharing the impact of her diagnosis on her emotional state. As she explained,
I’m trapped in this darkness right now that I haven’t felt in probably 20-something years,
she said, describing the profound depression she experienced.
Sigler offered support, reassuring her:
It’s not a reason enough for you to stop living because I sit here across from you, and you still make me laugh like nobody else can. You still make me smile. You make me feel loved.
Currently at her most candid, Applegate is preparing to publish her memoir You With the Sad Eyes, which delves into her experiences with illness, humor, and pain. She noted,
I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That’s why I’m doing this,
adding,
[The book] won’t be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life.
The memoir will be released on March 3 and is available for preorder.
Ice-T Reflects on Past Life and Ongoing Career in Law Enforcement Drama
Rapper and actor Ice-T, who once led a life involving drug dealing and bank robbery, has been portraying a police detective on Law & Order: SVU since 2000. His role now makes him the longest-serving male actor on American primetime television.
Speaking on Allison Kugel’s Allison Interviews podcast, Ice-T addressed his complex views regarding law enforcement. He clarified,
I don’t dislike cops. I dislike racism and I dislike bullies. If you wear a badge or not, it doesn’t matter,
highlighting his disdain for injustice rather than the police institution itself.
He further commented,
When I was a criminal I didn’t hate the cops. For any good criminal, the cop is the opponent. He’s not the enemy, he’s the opponent,
emphasizing a tactical rivalry rather than animosity.
Regarding the economics of illegality, he explained,
If I’m a drug dealer, we need the cops because the cops create the margin. If the cocaine becomes legal, there’s no money for us. We need it to be illegal.
About his wife Coco Austin, married for over two decades, he expressed affection:
Coco puts up with me. She puts up with my hours, she puts up with my behavior. And I love her. I love her idiosyncrasies.
Looking ahead, Ice-T has no plans to retire soon:
When [‘SVU’] is over, which all good things will come to an end, there’s still a lot of acting left for me,
he said, comparing his longevity to actors like Liam Neeson and Denzel Washington.
I see Liam Neeson out here doing action movies. I see Denzel, and he’s 70. Like I always say, I’m Black. I don’t jump off a boat while it’s floating … I’d like to take it for the full ride.
GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs and Their Unexpected Effects on Relationships
The public conversation about the popular GLP-1 medication class, including Ozempic, has evolved from focusing on physical weight loss to examining the social and personal consequences that may arise.
Rapid transformation on these drugs is increasingly linked to changes that affect marriages, sometimes leading to breakups. Leading divorce attorney Harriet Newman Cohen of Cohen Stine Kapoor has encountered multiple cases where significant weight loss was the
single most notable factor in causing the breakup.
She elaborated,
When a spouse who was previously ‘invisible’ due to their weight suddenly becomes the center of attention, the marital power dynamic shifts,
explaining how appetite suppression, mood enhancement, and boosted confidence from GLP-1 medications can give rise to personality changes that feel alien to longtime partners.
