Bachelor Nation rallied for change — and got it! On June 12, days after a group of franchise alums and fans launched a campaign for the show to cast the first black Bachelor for Season 25, ABC announced that they have chosen Matt James. “We can’t have change until we put that first foot forward in having a black lead, and [I’m] so excited to take on that role. It’s an honor,” says the 28-year-old Raleigh, N.C., native, whom fans may recognize as Bachelor Nation star Tyler Cameron’s BFF. The NYC roomies work together on ABC Food Tours, the charity Matt founded to help expose kids from underserved communities to new experiences — and they were together in Florida during lockdown, as part of the “Quarantine Crew” with former Bachelorette…

There’s trouble brewing in the Wizarding World! Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has been called out before for transphobic comments that seem to go against her books’ messages of tolerance and inclusion, went on a June 6 Twitter rant doubling down on her belief that “if sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased.” And actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who played her titular boy wizard and his pals Hermione and Ron, and Eddie Redmayne, who stars in the Fantastic Beasts movies, voiced their disapproval. “Respect for transgender people remains a cultural imperative,” Eddie, 38, said, while Daniel, 30, responded with a blog post for The Trevor Project. “To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been…

In the 10 years since she first sat down with Prince William to discuss their engagement in front of TV cameras, Kate Middleton has granted just two official interviews: a brief talk about charity during her visit to Pakistan last October, and a frank and funny chat about parenting and mom guilt on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast in February. The latter, says a source, “was surprising, because she’s typically so private. She got a lot of praise for opening up like that.” Now Kate is ready to reveal even more.
