Q: Who’s the woman in
the T-Mobile ads? I
noticed she has a new
look. —TRB, Peoria, Ill.
A: Canadian actress Carly Foulkes has traded in her sundresses for a leather bodysuit and motorcycle (complete with pink accents, of course!) in the new ad campaign. In real life, the 23-year-old, who has been the T-Mobile spokeswoman since 2010, can relate to her edgy alter ego. “My personal style is very eclectic,” she says. “I’m also working on getting my motorcycle license!”

How was your fi rst animated movie role? It was a fun process. I play a prehistoric rabbit named Squint. Usually I’m playing an Indian guy, so it was cool to do something different. And I was excited to do a project that everyone can see, that’s not R-rated.
You’re currently on your third major comedy tour,
Buried Alive! What’s it about? My friends are starting to get married and have kids, which is terrifying to me, so it’s about dealing with adulthood. I still kind of feel like a kid, and it’s interesting when your friends become serious adults—that guy is now a father? He’s a goofball! Everyone can relate to that.
What’s your favorite thing about being a comedian?
I love doing stand-up. I can come up with a joke in the morning and then try it out at night in front of thousands of people. It’s amazing.

1. Devastatingly handsome and, according to one historian, “brimming with libido,” Alexander
Hamilton was the nation’s fi rst public fi gure to be embroiled in a sex scandal. The good news: He confessed to the misdeed. The bad news: Instead of offering a simple apology, he described his indiscretions in what was termed “almost picaresque detail,” making colleagues squirm.
2. Renaissance man Thomas
Jefferson was a violinist, an inventor of words (belittle, to name one), a gourmet, and a wine con-noisseur—during his eight years in the White House, he ran up a wine bill of over $10,000 (nearly $200,000 today!).

KISS AND TELLOn Aug. 14, 1945, moments after Japan’s surrender in WWII, a legendary Life photo was taken of a sailor smooch-ing a nurse in Times Square. Their ID has been speculated about for 67 years, but a new book, The Kissing Sailor, claims to have solved the mystery.

3. Centuries before the word cougar became part of the vernacular, Ben
Franklin offered a pal eight reasons why he should take an older mistress. Among them: “Be-cause there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc’d may be attended with much Inconvenience.”
4. He was short and stocky (his nickname around
D.C. was “His Rotundity”). But in letters to wife Abi-gail, John Adams was Mr. Smooth: “I am, with an Ardour that Words have not Power to express, yours.”
5. George Wash-
ington had two horses shot from beneath him in battle, but the bruiser had a soft side, too: He named one of his hunting dogs “Sweet Lips.”

So, are you going to ask her about Russell Brand?” says a silver-haired navy lieutenant in dress whites and stiff cap. It is the fi rst day of Fleet Week, when vessels from around the world
dock in New York City, and on this cool evening in late May, Katy Perry is performing an outdoor concert for the visiting servicemen and women. The lieutenant may not seem like the typical Perry fan, but he is surprisingly up to date on her personal life, even fi lling in another offi cer on her split with the British comedian: “They broke up around Christmas. Didn’t you know that?” he says, and sighs. “Oh, well. They didn’t make much sense anyway.”
There’s being a household name, and then there’s being so famous that even sailors on a tour of duty know your business. In recent years, Perry’s ascent to megastardom has been so dramatic she decided to make a movie about it. The result is the 3-D concert fi lm Katy Perry: Part of Me, in theaters July 5. Shot during her nine-month, 124-city California Dreams Tour, the documentary chronicles Perry’s life onstage and off, through all her ups and downs—including her split from Brand after 14 months of marriage.
Despite being addressed in the fi lm, the breakup is understandably a sensi-tive subject for Perry. Minutes into our interview the day after her concert, one of her handlers asks to sit in, presumably to screen questions, but Perry
STARSPANGLED
America’s pop princess Katy Perry celebrates the Fourth of July with a new concert � lm and a new outlook on life

no puppeteer telling Katy what to do or how to be,” she says. “She has a hand in every moment of her career: every costume, every video, every word, every melody.”
erry is proud of the fact that she’s “a bit weirder than the average pop star,” as she puts it. Her par-ents, Keith and Mary Hudson, are
born-again Christian ministers, and she and her two siblings were raised in Santa Barbara, Calif., in a strict household. Perry, who changed her name professionally from Katheryn Hudson because of potential confusion with the actress Kate Hudson, was prohibited from listening to what her mother called “secular music” growing up. Instead, the same woman who would later don a cupcake bra in her video for “California Gurls” sang gospel classics like “Oh, Happy Day.” Now 27, she has come a long way from
home, but Perry is still close with her family, fondly recalling many July Fourths spent “smuggling fire-works either from the South or from Mexico” with her father. “He loves a firework exit,”
she says of the truck stops where they got their goods. “As a kid I was totally like, ‘Yeah!’ Now I realize there are repercussions. I’m like, ‘You’re going to load the car with fi reworks? That thing is going to pop off !’ ”
It’s no wonder Perry, who will per-form on Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks
Spectacular (NBC, 9 p.m. ET), loves the holiday: She’s full of spark, just like the explosions referenced in her hit “Firework.” But her success hasn’t come as
easily as one might think. Prior to earning her status as a pop princess, Perry was an unknown
singer-songwriter on the Chris-tian music circuit. Before she became
demurs. “I’m a grown woman. I can handle all questions that come at me. As long as there is a level of respect understood, then we’re cool,” says the star, wearing a tight black minidress and sitting on the fl oor of an offi ce in Paramount Pictures’ New York headquarters. And should the conversation go off the rails? “I’ll just use some key word,” she jokes, widening her blue eyes. “ ‘Help! Help!’ ”
In fact, Perry needs no help sidestepping ques-tions about the divorce. She refers to it only as “the situation”—as in, “I’m very aware that it’s inappropriate to give too much away, and that really the situation is just between two people.” When it’s noted that she and Brand have been respectful of each other in the media, she responds cryptically, “The universe will have its way.” Still, the breakup needed to be acknowledged in her fi lm, she says. “I think if people walked out of the theater and that was completely avoided, they would be like, ‘Well, there’s an elephant in the room that’s still there.’ ” The singer rubs her feet, freed from sky-high Christian Louboutins. “I like to go out there looking like a strong woman, because I am strong. But I am also a woman who goes through all kinds of problems and highs and lows. I wanted to show the complete spectrum.
“There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me without makeup and completely bloated or crying,” she adds. “But I’ve realized that it’s time for me to show my audience that you don’t have to be perfect to achieve your dreams. Because nobody relates to being perfect.” She takes another bite of her bunless burger. “I’m okay with picking my nose. I’m okay with having bad dance moves. I’m okay with having horrible lower teeth. That’s what makes me me, and for some reason it’s worked out all right.”
“She’s very blunt and honest, and people relate to her,” says her longtime stylist, Johnny Wujek. Singer-songwriter Bon-nie McKee, who has collaborated with Perry on a number of her hits, including “Teenage Dream” and “California Gurls,” agrees. “There’s
the fi rst woman in Billboard history to claim fi ve No. 1 singles from one album, 2010’s Teen-age Dream, she was dropped by several labels. It’s all part of the story chronicled in the con-cert documentary.
“There are certain themes you see in the movie: coming out of a constricting, sheltered atmosphere,” Perry says, tucking a lock of purple hair behind her ear. “Not changing when every record label told me that I should be like this other artist who was successful. Overcoming obstacles in so many different ways.”
he marines know all about over-coming obstacles, and thanks to a few days spent at California’s Camp Pendleton filming the video for her single “Part of Me,” Perry now knows something
about the marines. In the video, shot in Feb-ruary of this year (not long after Brand fi led for divorce), she plays a woman who enlists upon discovering her boyfriend has cheated. “Nine times out of ten, I have a matching visual when I write the song. For this one, I wanted to tell the story of a girl whose heart was broken. She joins the marines, and not only does she get physically strong, but she fi nds that inner strength again,” says Perry, who got into character by sporting fatigues, going through drills, and dining on MREs, or Meals, Ready to Eat. (“I had the vegetarian barbecue chicken or something,” she recalls. “It’s actually really good. It tasted like a McRib.”) She admits she “didn’t know a lot about people in the service, but it was so intriguing to be at Camp Pendle-ton listening to everybody’s unique story. They train extremely hard; they’re all, like, Hulks. I have so much respect for them.”
Many in the audience at Perry’s Fleet Week concert were impressed in return. “I thought the video was cool because I’ve done the boot camp and offi cer training,” said a female lieuten-ant who fi rst heard the song while stationed in Japan. “Most of us recognize it as ‘the Marine Corps video.’ ” After the show, several service-men and women made their way backstage to meet Perry. “As soon as the week’s over, I’m buy-ing a new cap,” said one sailor, after the star auto-graphed the inside of his. “I’m framing this one!”

says. “It wasn’t just another show. It’s such a tradition, and it felt very vintagey,” she explains. “In the back of my mind, I was like, ‘Marilyn Monroe did this. Of course I want to be a part of that.’ ” Skilled as she is at working a crowd, she did her homework as well. “I Wikipediaed ‘Fleet Week’ because I wanted to know the history. I don’t want to look like a complete idiot.”
Far from it—the star, who in order to pursue her career dropped out of high school and got her GED, is something of an autodidact. “I like to learn,” she says. “If I could go back [to school], I would study language and the origins of words.” While on tour, she and her team made it a priority to experience the culture of each country they visited, taking in Mexican temples and Argentine tango shows. “Everywhere we went, we tried to do something authentic,” she says. They also bonded by getting tattoos of little peppermint faces and playing pranks on each other, including one called Ding-Dong Ditching, where they’d knock on someone’s hotel door and then run away. “Quite silly,” she admits, and laughs.
Through all the globe-trotting, Perry has come to realize how fortunate she is to call the United States home. “Not to sound overly cheesy,” she says, “but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America—especially as a female.” Asked how she reacted to President Obama’s support of same-sex marriage, she says, “I was really happy; I probably went down to West Hollywood and had a shot. I came from a different mind-set grow-ing up, and my mind has changed. My viewpoint on all these things—equality for women, the choice to love anyone you want—hopefully, we will look back at this moment and think like we do now concerning [other] civil rights issues. We’ll just shake our heads in disbelief, saying, ‘Thank God we’ve evolved.’ That would be my prayer for the future.”
As for her own future, Perry says she’ll one day step back from perform-ing to have a family or be out of the limelight; for anything more intro-spective, you’ll have to listen to her songs. In “Wide Awake,” she sings, “I picked up every piece /And landed on my feet … /I’m wide awake /Yeah—I am born again.” McKee recalls working on the song with Perry in February. “Katy and I sat down, opened a bottle of wine, and I just said, ‘What are you feeling? Let’s get raw about it,’ ” she says. “When we wrote ‘Teenage Dream,’ it was really about your fi rst love and how magical that is. I think Russell made her feel that way again, and she felt she had found
the person she was going to spend the rest of her life with. And when that didn’t turn out to be what she’d hoped, it kind of made sense to talk about waking up.”
One thing’s for certain: The ups and downs of her life will work their way into Perry’s music. “With songs, I’ve always pledged to be honest,” she says proudly. “I write my songs because I’ve lived them.”
With Kitty Purry, a character based on her cat, in the fi lm Katy Perry: Part of Me.

If you have a medical claim related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, you could get benefits from a class action settlement with BP Exploration & Production Inc. and BP America Production Company (“BP”). Go to DeepwaterHorizonSettlements.com for more information, including information on how to file a claim.
WHO IS INCLUDED IN THE MEDICAL
BENEFITS SETTLEMENT?
The Medical Class includes (1) clean-up workers and (2) certain people who resided in specific geographic areas in coastal and wetlands areas along the Gulf Coast during specific periods in 2010. The website DeepwaterHorizonSettlements.com has detailed descriptions and maps to help you determine whether a geographic location may be included in one of these zones. Additionally, you can call 1-866-992-6174 or e-mail [email protected] to find out if a geographic location is included.

SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?
The benefits of the Medical Benefits Settlement include: (1) payments to qualifying people for certain acute (short-term) and chronic (ongoing) medical conditions occurring after exposure to oil or chemical dispersants; (2) provision of periodic medical examinations to qualifying people; and (3) creation of a Gulf Region Health Outreach Program, consisting of projects to strengthen the healthcare system. Benefits (1) and (2) will be provided only after the Court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.

MEDICAL BENEFITS SETTLEMENT
You need to submit a Claim Form to request benefits. You can get a copy of the Claim Form by visiting the
website or by calling 1-866-992-6174. Claims can be submitted by mail. If you have questions about how to file your claim, you should call the toll-free number for assistance.

The exact date of the claim filing deadline will be posted on the website. It is highly recommended that Medical Class Members complete and submit their claim forms promptly. Please read the Economic and Property Damages Settlement notice because you may also be eligible for a payment from that settlement.

Class Counsel fees, costs, and expenses under the Medical Benefits Settlement Agreement and the Economic and Property Damages Settlement Agreement jointly cannot exceed $600 million.

Afew years after
Mom died, Dad showed up for lunch wearing the soft
smile that took over his face when-ever he was thinking about her.
“Found these,” he said, handing me a lumpy plastic bag. “She would have wanted you to have them.”
When I started to peek into the bag, he cleared his throat and said, “Later, okay?” Off we went, to a burger joint down the street.
That evening, I opened the bag to fi nd dozens of clam-s h e l l s , e a c h o n e wrapped in white tissue paper and bearing Mom’s handwritten inscription: Stone Harbor, N.J.—8-98.
The shells were bleached dirty white and streaked with tiny threads of gray and brown. Pretty plain, but to Mom, they were evi-dence of her endlessly magical life.
She was 61 when she collected these shells, and already showing signs of the lung disease that would kill her the next year. We didn’t know that then. We just knew something was wrong and Mom needed an adventure. She sug-gested dinner and a movie. Two friends and I had bigger plans.
Our working-class mother never took beach vacations, unless you counted the hundreds of bike rides to Lake Erie’s shore. Mom had been to the ocean only twice, on trips to the East Coast with Dad after I went to college. She loved the seashore. Her kitchen, deco-rated with souvenirs from those two trips, looked like a shrimp boat.

saw a backseat full of confusion. “Mom,” I said. “You mean Dead Poets Society.”
“That’s it!” Mom yelled. Laugh-ter filled the car. We went on to discuss The Unmasked Man (Man in the Iron Mask), Wanting Ned(Waking Ned Devine), and my own favorite, Texas Jigsaw Massacre.
“No, Janey,” my friend Fleka told Mom. “You mean Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Jigsaw Massacre was the sequel, when they tried to piece back together all the body parts.”
Once we got to Stone Harbor, Mom acted like the town mayor, greeting everyone as if they were loyal constituents. She giggled her-self pink when a stranger flirted with her, read tabloids when she thought I wasn’t looking, and spent hours collecting shells on the beach. The morning we left, I found her photographing every inch of her bedroom. “I don’t ever want to forget this,” she said.
For a long time, Mom’s shells stayed buried in a drawer, out-of-sight reminders of my loss. Last month, I rediscovered them while rummaging for something else. Nearly 14 years later, they’re a col-lective nudge from a mother who never lost her sense of wonder.
One by one, the shells are fi nd-ing a new place in our home. One sits by my computer. Another rests on the windowsill over the kitchen sink. I put them where I’m sure to see them. Every so often, I pick one up and squeeze it, grateful for the reminder to live a pinch-me life.
It’s a Wonderful Life
You would have thought we were on the road to Aruba.
One of my favorite memories was a discussion about movies. Mom loved them but often got the titles wrong. “Ohhhh,” she said, “what was that movie about the teacher at the boys’ school? With the Mork & Mindy guy?”
Before anyone could answer, she shouted, “I remem-ber! The Dead Man’s Poet!” I looked in the rearview mirror and
When I called Mom with our plans, she was sitting on the couch with her dog Amber on her lap. As soon as I said “Jersey Shore,” Mom shrieked and Amber tumbled to the fl oor. When I told her she’d be able to hear the ocean from her window, she started to cry.
For Mom, the adventure began with the long drive. Everything about it—a minivan full of females, turnpike food, all of those out-of-state signs—was evidence of her pinch-me life. Over and over she shouted—she always shouted in vans and airplanes—“I can’t believe I’m going to New Jersey!”
I treasure the shells Mom found on a 1998
beach trip. They’re a daily reminder
of her “pinch-me” a� itude about the world.

—Marissa Tautunk, Agoura Hills, Calif.
No. Smiling (and frowning) does cause many of the perma-nent facial creases that develop as skin ages. Some people are so attentive to this that they stay as expressionless as pos-sible. Most people, of course, think that’s too high a price to pay for a somewhat smoother face. Besides, other factors are at work: sun expo-sure; a loss of facial fat, colla-gen, and elastin over time; and more. There’s no solution, but one thing you can do is stop “making faces.” Some people routinely use facial muscles to amplify their remarks, get attention, and communicate nonverbally, the way new parents do with a baby. This habit repeatedly stretches your facial skin—and worse, it makes you look like a lightweight!

Who doesn’t love fried chick-
en? I grew up eating it cold, since my mom would make it to take on car trips. It tastes so good that way.
Six years ago, I was in Memphis shooting a movie and someone brought fried chicken from Gus’s. I got really obsessed. It started me on my fried chicken path, and I’ve been tweaking my recipe ever since. Theirs had something spicy in it, so I started adding hot sauce to mine; I like a little kick. And I only use legs and thighs—they ’re smaller and they cook more evenly.
The onions are special, too; they add a nice sweet-ness. Some people run
