Samberg and Braugher
A: Braugher, 52, who plays stoic precinct cap- tain Ray Holt in the hit
Fox series, is committed to perfecting the art of
the straight man. “We’ve done eight episodes this
year. I’ve cracked up twice. Obviously, Andy’s getting funnier and I’m relaxing
a bit,” says the Homicide: Life on the Street alum,

In 1989, her brand-new album re- leased Oct. 27, the multiplatinum singing superstar, 24, waves bye-bye to country music and dives fully into pop.

Did you ever think about calling the album anything else? It had to be called “1989.” It’s my birth year. I’m in a sense being reborn in a new genre, starting over. Fame makes it easy to reach millions of fans. But what effect does it have on your close personal relationships? I never want to complain about the way my life is, because it has exceeded my wildest dreams. But it makes it nearly impossible to have any kind of romantic relationship. It’s not something I even attempt to do anymore, to be honest. At 24, I’m really happy living my life on only my terms. Before you were famous, did anyone give you words of encouragement that stayed with you?My parents made me feel like I was special. They always told me I was smart. It wasn’t
“You look so pretty today.” It was “Oh, that was such an intelligent thing to say.” We know you can bake. What’s something you can’t do? I can’t do a cartwheel and I can’t do a handstand, but I don’t sit around being sad about it. All the things I really want to do, I’ve worked hard to get good at them. You recently moved from Nashville to New York. How’s life in the big city? I love it—I love it so much! It’s kind of like the beginning of a really excellent love affair.

Jada Pinkett Smith onGotham
Q: I’m enjoying Jada Pinkett Smith on Gotham. Has she always been a comic-book fan? —Pearl C., Cincinnati A: Yes! And it’s not just Pinkett Smith, 43, who’s a fan. Last May, her son Jaden, 16, wore a white Batman suit to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wed- ding reception. “My son is over the moon about me doing [the show], and has asked if he can have an appearance in the white Batman suit,” she says. “That won’t be
happening— but he has asked.”

around Perrysburg, Ohio.”
