Life moves pretty fast. It is Monday lunchtime when Jennifer Siebel Newsom drops by the office in Washington, just a couple of blocks from the White House, for an interview to promote her new film. Less than two hours later, her husband, the California governor, Gavin Newsom, announces that the couple are under investigation by the justice department. One strand of the investigation specifically targets Siebel Newsom’s taxes and the California Partners Project, a gender equit


WOMEN+POWER: Anne Hathaway
From the outside looking in, Anne Hathaway is thriving. She’s going to release three more films on the 2026 movie schedule, and she just announced that she’s pregnant with her third child! However, the good tends to come with a bit of bad, too, as the actress noted while talking about the struggles she’s had with pregnancy before. While Hathaway was already having a big year with the releases of Mother Mary and The Devil Wears Prada 2, it just got bigger as she will be welcom

WOMEN+POWER: Michelle Obama + Malia & Sasha Obama
Michelle Obama is thinking of her next chapter, both personally and professionally. It has been ten years since she and husband Barack Obama left the White House, though it has been only in recent years that she has defined what her post-first lady career looks like, returning to the spotlight with ventures such as her podcast, IMO, which she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, and her books, most recently her fashion book The Look.
