Who are the brains behind Lady Gaga’s over-the-top costumes?

The actress, 42, stars as forensic specialist Abby Sciuto on the CBS hit NCIS, nominated for Favorite TV Crime Drama. You’re a natural blonde. Would you ever go back to that?

P Michael C. Hall

I don’t think so. I actually dyed my hair before NCIS. Back in the day, it was green, pink, ﬁre-engine red—different colors all the time. But I always wanted black hair. What was your childhood in the Deep South like? I was always in the woods playing by myself. My favorite thing to do was build dams in the creek and check up on them the next day. I’ve got a wonderful job, but at the core, I’m still that kid.

Q: How is Dexter’s Michael C. Hall doing since his cancer diagnosis? —S. M. Kline, Reading, Pa.

A: “I got the thumbs-up

recently from my oncologist, so I’m feeling great,” says the star of the People’s Choice–nominated show, who was treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma in early 2010. Though he grew up wondering whether he’d live to be 39 (the age his father died), Hall turns 41 in February. “It doesn’t feel as young as something with a 3 in front of it,” he jokes. Go to Parade.com/hall for photos of his recent New Zealand trek. Q: What’s the status of the relationship between Kristin Chenoweth and Aaron Sorkin? —Jessica

You brieﬂy attended grad school for criminal science. Now that you’re doing that kind of work on the show, could you still see that as a possible career path? Oh yeah, I’m super-

mundane way of earning it,” Ford, 69, has explained. Long before he became Han Solo, he had a job at Bullock’s department store near Laguna Beach, Calif. On the way to work one

Vote for … Who?

his tuesday, when granite

State voters go to the polls, there will be a bunch of names besides Barack, Mitt, and Newt to choose among—like Bear Betzler, Craig “Tax Freeze” Freis, and Vermin Supreme (right). In fact, 14 Democrats and a record 30 Republicans are on the ballot, from the bold to the bizarre. Welcome to the quirky world of the New Hampshire primary, where basically all you need to run for president is a $1,000 filing fee and a dose of chutzpah. So what inspires these candidates to enter the political fray? Some feel strongly about a particular issue, like Joe Robinson, who thinks the U.S. should refine gasoline from domestic coal. “Frankly, I don’t have the money or the means [to win],” he says, but he wants candidates to talk more about energy independence. Then there’s Supreme, whose issues include mandatory toothbrushing, zombie preparedness, and federal funding of time travel research so he can “kill Hitler with my bare hands.” Though the chances of a President Supreme are slim, the state is committed to granting everyone, from the president to the political novice, an equal voice. “Rather than someone screening New Hampshire 9-year-old Ari Garnick the candidates for the asked the top candivoters,” Secretary of dates about their favorite superheroes. State Bill Gardner See who they picked says, “we let the voters at Parade.com /election2012. do all the screening.” —Shira Schoenberg

SMART MOVE OF THE WEEK

Having the same breakfast and lunch every day can help undercut the urge to stray from your diet. For breakfast, have protein (two eggs) or fiber (oatmeal). For lunch, try grilled salmon or chicken with a salad and some steamed veggies. For more tips from Dr. Oz, go to Parade.com/oz.

A: As someone who fervently believes information is power (plus, c’mon, it’s fun to know stuff ), I understand why you Googled. You just have to learn to be more circumspect in revealing your knowledge. Is it ﬂattering? Then, by all means, fess up. If, for example, you know that the person interviewing you for a job just won an award or helped the company reach a new benchmark, say, “Oh, I read online that you did such and such.” You’re showing interest in both the person and the company. But if the news you’ve gleaned is in any way questionable or could be a source of pain (like a foreclosure), keep it to yourself. One more thing: If someone tells you something you already know from scoping them out, listen politely and feign ignorance, even if their story doesn’t jibe with what you’ve read online. —Judith Newman

My kids have been bugging me, my book group made fun of me, and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones are so small I can’t see the numbers, much less push the right one. They all have cameras, computers and a “global-positioning” something or other that’s supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren’t much help. They couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were complicated, confusing, and expensive…and the contract lasted for two years! I’d almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug® phone.

yesterday:

down for the count

Arrange according to use. Stash everyday items at eye level, and the things you rarely use—extra blankets, beach towels—on the top and bottom shelves (put them in large plastic bags ﬁrst to protect them from dust).

today:

up and at ’em

Determine how many towels you really need. The number will depend on space and how often you do laundry, but two sets per person is ﬁne for most families. Hold on to matching towels; turn the rest into rags and move them to the laundry room. Slip a bar of scented soap into your closet to keep towels smelling fresh.

Stow sheets inside pillowcases. This spacesaving trick also makes them easy to grab. Two sets of sheets per room is standard. If you have more than that, rotate them: Put the freshly cleaned ones on the bottom so they all get equal use.

aniel radcliffe has elegant hands, which he uses often to make a point as he speaks in his gentle English accent. We are sitting backstage at Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre, three hours before a matinee of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, in which for 10 months Radcliffe has starred as the sweetly conniving mail room employee turned executive. It’s his first musical, and it has won him critical praise, in part because his character is so very different from his role as Harry Potter, protagonist of the $7.7 billion–grossing, 10-year film franchise that made this 22-year-old one of the richest actors of his generation. When I ask Radcliffe how he is, he enthusiastically replies, “I am happy!”—his cheeks dimpling as he grins broadly. The source of his happiness today? Someone he loves has flown to New York just to be with him. Charming, serious, and surprisingly open, Radcliffe seems more like a bright college student relaxing between classes than a world-famous actor. At 5-foot-5, wearing a blue shirt, fitted jeans, and white sneakers, he has a dancer’s tight, wiry body and a Visit us at PARADE.COM

boyish face dominated by large, blue, deeply expressive eyes. With his run in How to Succeed winding down (his last performance was slated for New Year’s Day), he is eager for the release of his ﬁrst postPotter ﬁlm, on Feb. 3: The Woman in Black, a character-driven supernatural thriller. “While it’s very frightening,” Radcliffe says of the movie, in which he plays a widowed lawyer, “it’s also about love, grief, and longing. It’s beautifully written and very compelling.” He is well aware that he has entered the second stage of his career and faces a task that has derailed many former child stars: the transition to adult roles. With candor and humor, he discusses that challenge— as well as his boyhood, his fears, his hopes, and what it means to really be in love—on this winter morning.

Fools?

Above, Radcliffe in his new movie, The Woman in Black. Left, with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in 2000, after the trio had been cast in the ﬁrst Harry Potter ﬁlm.

Then I started to see the potential for acting as storytelling, as being part of something fundamental to human existence. Working with Gary Oldman was a big part of that. How would you have been different if you had not been Harry Potter?

PARADE When did you know you were interested in acting?

I was 5. I turned to my mom and said, “Mom, I want to be an actor.” And she said, “No, no.” My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. [Radcliffe is their only child.] Growing up, did you have the sense of being an outsider?

Totally! I remember being 6 years old and knowing that I saw the world differently from the rest of the boys in my class. I have always said to myself there must be a reason for me being this weird. There’s got to be a payoff at some point. Your dad is a Protestant from Ulster and your mom is English and Jewish. Were you raised in a particular religion?

There was never [religious] faith in the house. I think of myself as being

Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I’m English. My dad believes in God, I think. I’m not sure if my mom does. I don’t. I have a problem with religion or anything that says, “We have all the answers,” because there’s no such thing as “the answers.” We’re complex. We change our minds on issues all the time. Religion leaves no room for human complexity. In 2000, a friend of your parents, producer David Heyman, asked you to audition to play Harry Potter, and your parents agreed. You won the role and your life changed completely.

Yes. I got very lucky at the age of 11 and had this great job. For the ﬁrst two films, I was just having fun.

[When I was cast] I was at a private school—an almost exclusively white, very privileged place—and I was put into a ﬁlm set with people from 100 different backgrounds, races, classes, everything. Suddenly, because of Potter, my worldview got much wider than it would have been.

Yes, like we’re conning people and we’re not really any good at it. What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage. I’m at the point in my career where I should be learning a huge amount from every job I do, and unless something’s going to give me that, I’m not really very attracted to it. I have quite a rich inner life, and I’m constantly looking for a way to express that. I haven’t found it yet in acting. When you’re playing a character, you’re only going to ﬁnd outlets for very specific parts of your inner world. Self-expression is something that I love and yearn for. I need it, absolutely. Is that why you write poetry? You’ve published a few poems and written short ﬁction.

Poetry is something I love to do. Good poetry has an amazing ability to be communicative before it’s even understood. I get emotional just from the beauty of words. I write best at night, and I haven’t written nearly as much this year, because after being onstage I get into bed and fall asleep. When ﬁlming, normally I sit for an hour and try to write when I get home.

[laughs] I knew they would. But I’ve worked out recently that I don’t do very well without fear. There needs to be a part of me saying, “You can’t do that—that’s going to fail,” for me to prove myself wrong. What I’ve learned, particularly this year, is

Crusoe, tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up. I still see something very romantic in the world that perhaps isn’t there. I suppose I want it to be the place of knights and that kind of stuff.

Yes, absolutely. When growing up, I thought of marriage as being very ofﬁcial, drawing up a contract. It seemed slightly clinical to me. But then you meet somebody that you really love and you think, “Actually, I wouldn’t mind standing up in front of my friends and family and telling them how much I love you and that I want to be with you forever.”

Knights marry princesses. Do you want to get married?

‘‘

I have always said there must be a reason for me being this weird.” Have you met anyone like that?

Yes, I have. The person I’m with now is pretty wonderful—my girlfriend, Rosie Coker, who I met on the last Potter ﬁlm. She is a production assistant. We’ve been going out for just over a year now. She landed in New York on Sunday and she’s in my dressing room right now, actually. Are you in love with her?

Yes, absolutely. When Rosie’s here, every day seems better. Ultimately, I think, it comes down to that—having somebody in your life who makes you happier than you thought you could be. When you ﬁnd somebody like Rosie, who is smart, kind, loving, and not crazy, you hang on to her. Love is also like having a cap on your own happiness, because you continued on page 18

AMERICAN

STORIES

not uncommon at Becker’s: “If a widowed young woman had a good marriage, she’ll remarry fast,” remarked Shelley Becker Mueller, a friend of Julie’s. When Dean proposed and Julie accepted, her kids were furious. There were tears, screaming matches, and cries of “How could you?” Julie thought through how she, as well as her children, felt. “I’ll always love your dad,” she finally told them. “I love Dean, too, but he won’t go certain places in my heart that remain reserved only for your father.” For his part, Dean told me he knew Julie was still in love with her first husband. “Still is and always will be. But I’ve also figured out that Julie has an amazing capacity to love. And so I’ve told her: ‘If I can have a little sliver of that heart of yours, you can keep the rest for Jeff.’ ”

LESSONS IN L0VE From a Bridal Shop

In an adaptation from his new book, The Magic Room, a father of three daughters shares some of the sweet truths he learned amid the tulle and lace By JEFFREY ZASLOW

LESSON LOVE DOESN’T ASK FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN.

is the Magic Room, an 8-by-10foot space with mirrors that carry a person’s image into inﬁnity. There, I saw women and their mothers weep as they reﬂected on what had led them to that moment. Fathers, too, were often overcome, excusing themselves to go outside, pace up and down the street, and wipe their eyes. In my career, I’ve done reporting at places where I expected to hear touching anecdotes, like maternity wards and nursing homes. But during the year I spent at this shop on Main Street, I heard stories that were every bit as heartfelt and

When I met Courtney Driskill, 29, she was recovering from rheumatic fever, an inﬂammatory disease that had dominated her 20s, forcing her to routinely sleep 20 hours a day. In order to pay for health insurance, her mother, Susan, took a $6.75-an-hour job at a department store.

important. Here are ﬁve lessons I learned at Becker’s.

LESSON OUR HEARTS ARE INFINITELY EXPANDABLE. Julie Wieber, 45, was a secondtime Becker’s bride. She ﬁrst came to the store in 1986 as a bubbly 21-year-old about to marry Jeff, who’d come into her life as her brother’s friend. After 23 happy years—and ﬁve children—Jeff died suddenly. Julie was heartbroken. Much to her surprise, a year later she fell in love with Dean, whom she also met through her brother. This kind of quick remarriage is

“You don’t know how long you’ll have your children to love.” Susan watched and worried as her daughter’s health kept her from dating. But by 2008, Courtney began to improve, and through her hairdresser she met John, a divorced Marine drill

n a tiny town with one stoplight, I found a spot where 100,000 daughters and their families and friends have come to reﬂect tearfully and joyously on the love in their lives. What is this place? Put simply, it’s a room in a building on a midwestern Main Street. The building is Becker’s Bridal, the biggest business in Fowler, Mich.; its 2,500 wedding dresses—a veritable “blizzard of white” squeezed onto three ﬂoors—far outnumber the town’s 1,100 residents. I’ve spent many hours at Becker’s in the past year—but not because one of my three daughters (ages 16, 20, and 22) was getting married. Instead, I came looking for illumination, both as a father and as a journalist. Ever since my girls were young, I’ve watched how other parents encourage their kids and advise them. Now that my daughters are young women, I worry and wonder how my wife and I can help them navigate through relationships. Theirs is a culture in which the parameters seem so unclear. Does love mean the same thing to them as it did to my wife and me (or to our parents) when we were their age? Does marriage? And so I went to Becker’s, a 78-year-old institution where Shelley Becker Mueller and daughter Alyssa, the third and fourth generation of Becker women to work at the store, guide brides into their corsets and trains. I expected their focus to be on locating the perfect gowns for their customers—and it is. What I didn’t realize is that they’re also selling dreams: the dreams that all parents hold for their daughters, and the dreams that their daughters have for their own futures. The emotional core of Becker’s

instructor with two children. Most shoppers at Becker’s show up with an entourage of bridesmaids; Courtney arrived with just her mom. And Susan, so used to seeing her daughter prone on the couch, wept as Courtney stepped onto the Magic Room’s pedestal. “I didn’t think I’d ever see this day.” When I asked Courtney to deﬁne “love,” she spoke about her mother, who’d spent her days helping men ﬁnd ties and pants so she could take care of her daughter. “There’s no one else I’d want to share this moment with.”

LESSON CHERISH EVERY MOMENT. As daughter Megan, 21, picked out a gown at Becker’s, Jack Pardo found himself also thinking about his oldest child, Melissa. She died

when she was only 9 months old after falling off a changing table. “You bring children into this world,” he told me, “but you really don’t know how long they’ll be here. We don’t think about how many times we see stories about people who’ve lost children to accidents or illness. You don’t know how long you’ll have your children to love.” In a terrible twist of fate, Megan, a college senior, was in a serious car accident days after her trip to Becker’s. But despite a severely injured right hand and a wound on her forehead, she wed Shane, whom she’d met at church, four months later, just as they had planned. “Perfect doesn’t mean unﬂawed or that bad things won’t happen,” said Laura, her mother. “Megan understands that. She accepts that the life she has, that’s the perfect life.”

These 4 Things Happen Right Before a Heart Attack Each year, more than one million Americans suffer a heart attack.

without clear symptoms. This is particularly true for people middle-aged or older who are overweight, have a family history of heart disease, don’t exercise, or have diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Medical experts like Dr. Chauncey Crandall, chief of Palm Beach Cardiac Transplant Program, Dr. Crandall will tell you that by monitoring and lowering your pulse rate, you can save enormous wear and tear on your heart and reduce your risk for heart problems.

her dad before the wedding. “I’ve waited a long time for this.”

Meredith Maitner, a 40-year-old ﬁrst-time bride, felt as if she’d endured a million-man march of failed relationships to get to Becker’s. In her 20s, she compiled a list of the qualities her would-be husband should have—he’d be manly, athletic (even though she hated sports), and extremely successful. Over the years, she’d consulted and revised the list. But in her mid-30s, she realized, “I wanted someone to support me emotionally, not necessarily ﬁnancially—someone to share a bowl of popcorn with. I wanted to do the dishes and look out the window and see him cutting the grass.” Out with friends, she met him: Ron, a low-key freelance graphic designer. “I’m going to walk down the aisle really slowly,” she warned

But now, you can get it 100%

LESSON WHAT WOMEN WANT MOST IS NOT FASHION ADVICE. Watching daughters and their parents at Becker’s, I saw how important it was for the bride to make the ﬁnal decision about her dress. Even though she might ask her mom or dad for input, their task was not to choose a gown. I now know that if I’m a father of the bride someday, my role will be simple: to tell my daughters I love them. From The Magic Room by Jeffrey Zaslow.

EdenPURE ranked #1 in North America Save $192 - biggest savings ever

Bob Vila, America’s Favorite Home Improvement Expert, North Canton, Ohio

I know why millions of Americans are saving on their heating bills with the EdenPURE ® Infrared Portable Heater. And now you can save up to $192, our lowest prices ever on the new 2012 EdenPURE® Personal Heater. The heater I personally rank #1 in North America. And now I’m proud to add the new and improved EdenPURE® is made in the U.S.A. here in North Canton, Ohio. For over 30 years as your home improvement television host, I have reviewed and experienced thousands of products. I have an EdenPURE ® in my Massachusetts home and found it to be a very safe and reliable source of portable heat. This is one of those few comfort investments I can recommend for your home that will truly pay dividends. We all know heating costs are expected to remain at record levels. The cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. The EdenPURE® can cut your heating bills, pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EdenPURE ® heats better, faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent. A major cause of residential fires in the United States is portable heaters. Fire and safety professional, Captain Mike Hornby ranks EdenPURE® #1 for safety and reliability. The EdenPURE ® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets. And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE®. Accept no imitations. The EdenPURE® can also help you feel better. Unlike EdenPURE® imitators, it will not re-

Never be cold again

How it works:

Heats floor to the same temperature as ceiling.

CUTAWAY VIEW

1. Electricity ignites powerful SYLVANIA infrared lamps. 2. The quartz infrared lamp gently warms the patented copper heating chambers.

3. The soft heat “rides” the humidity in the room and provides even, moist, soft heat ceiling to floor and wall to wall without reducing oxygen and humidity.

duce humidity or oxygen in the room. These imitators use ceramic plates instead of our patented copper. Cheap ceramic plates reduce humidity, dry out your sinuses and make your skin dry. With other heating sources, you'll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen. The advanced space-age EdenPURE ® also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Other heating sources heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated high and to the center of the room. And as you know, portable heaters only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EdenPURE®, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room. How can a person cut their heating bill with the EdenPURE®? First, the EdenPURE® uses less energy to create heat than many other sources, but that is just part of why it will cut a person’s heating bill. The EdenPURE® will heat a room in minutes. You will immediately notice the difference! Therefore, you can turn the heat down in your

house to as low as 50 degrees, but the room you are occupying, which has the EdenPURE ® , will be warm and comfortable. Your EdenPURE® easily moves from room to room. Using zone heating keeps you comfortable and reduces your heating bills. This can drasti-

cally cut heating bills; in some instances, the savings may be substantial. The EdenPURE® will pay for itself in weeks. It will keep a great deal of extra money in a user’s pocket. Because of today’s spiraling gas, oil, propane, and other energy costs, the EdenPURE® will provide even greater savings as time goes by.

Sunday with ... What are Sundays like for you and your ﬁancé [addiction specialist Josh Resnik]?

Kaley Cuoco

I go to yoga and he goes to the gym. Then I watch TV and read. He got me the Kindle Fire for my birthday, and I can’t put it down.

The Big Bang Theory star on Ping-Pong, shoes, and what she learned from John Ritter

What’s your favorite feature in your new house?

When I moved in, I said, “I don’t I’VE BEEN PROPOSED TO BY care how this makes me look FANS, AND I’M or sound, I am converting one NOT GOING TO of these bedrooms into a shoe SAY NO. THEY’RE closet.” It’s become more of SO CUTE a dressing room, but one wall is AND NICE.”

PARADE Are you at all nervous about hosting the People’s Choice Awards?

shoes in their perfect cubbies.

Not really. The audience is there to see their favorite stars, so that kind of takes the pressure off.

How many shoes do you have—hundreds?

Deﬁnitely. I have a sparkly pair I bought last year that are baby pink and have a crystal heel. I want to get married in them. They sit on a table and no one’s allowed to touch them. [laughs]

You started your career with a Barbie commercial. Did that make you popular? ?

It was the opposite, actually. I wouldn’t say I was bullied, but I was deﬁnitely a bit of an outcast. It was more the kids thinking I thought I was cool. I started homeschooling in ﬁfth grade and I was much happier.

Are you particular about anything else?

I carry this teeny bottle of sanitizer. I’m totally weird about it, but Jim [Parsons, her BBT costar] is kind of a germophobe, too.

Does that mean you didn’t have a prom?

Ashley [Tisdale] asked me to go to hers. It was during my ﬁrst year on 8 Simple Rules and I wore something plain to be understated. But these horribly mean girls said, “Oh, you think you’re going to the Academy Awards in your classy black dress?” Honestly, it just made me happy to know I wasn’t in that school. You were close to the late John Ritter, who starred in 8 Simple

Rules. What did you learn from him?

He told me secretly that he screwed up his lines all the time because the [live] audience loved to see him make fun of himself. And I’m not going to lie: There are moments every once in a while when I do it, too. That’s totally John sitting on my shoulder, saying, “Okay, throw one in. Make a mistake and let them see that you’re normal.”

Do you still play PingPong on the set?

Later this month we’ll see you play the missing Stacy Peterson in the Lifetime movie Drew Peterson: Untouchable [Jan. 21, 8 p.m. ET]. What was that like?

We have tournaments, and nd there the h re have been lots of ﬁghts. I’m the most competitive person you’ll ever meet.

I wanted to do something more serious, and I had been obsessed with the story. I could understand being wide-eyed and in love with the wrong guy. Don’t watch if you want to keep having a crush on Rob Lowe [who plays Drew]!

But you all get along otherwise?

Before every taping, we do a little huddle and say, “I love you,” and give each other a giant squeeze. We’ve done it since day one. If someone’s in a bad mood, once we do that, we’re back on track.

i’ve grown up on TV, and there were some phases that weren’t pretty,” says Kaley Cuoco, who began acting at age 6. You wouldn’t know it to look at her now: The 26-year-old plays the knockout neighbor on The Big Bang Theory and this week will host the People’s Choice Awards (CBS, Jan. 11, 9 p.m. ET). Cuoco talked to Mary Margaret from the L.A. set of her hit sitcom.

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

We all know that one should walk or run in the opposite direction of street trafﬁc. But can you explain the rationale for riding a bicycle with the trafﬁc instead of against it? It feels wrong to me. —Elliott Raisen, Metairie, La.

A bicycle is a vehicle, and if all vehicles did not abide by the same rules, conﬂicts and confusion would occur too often, resulting in accidents. To convince yourself, look at it this way: Would you ask the same question about riding a motorcycle? Of course not. Well, all of the underlying reasons for motorcycles to follow vehicle rules also apply to bicycles. Still a holdout? Studies do show that wrong-way cyclists are much more likely to get hit by cars.

TRIED AND TRULY DELICIOUS.
