JAMES CORDEN

Q: I’m a big fan of Cuba Gooding Jr. What’s next for this talented actor? —Lakesha Jefferson, Houston

Q I enjoy watching Debi Mazar and her husband on their Cooking Channel show. Does she have any acting jobs coming up?

—Lorena S., Jacksonville, Fla. James Corden stars with Emily Blunt in the hit movie musical Into the Woods.

British actor/comedian James Corden, 36, best known to American audiences as The Baker in Into the Woods, will put his own spin on The Late Late Show on CBS when he takes over as host from Craig Ferguson beginning tomorrow night. Just as your film career is launching, you lock into a late-night talk show. Why? “My daughter was born nine and a half weeks before the Into the Woods press junket, and I was away intermittently for five weeks of her life. Then America’s No. 1 network was offering me a chance to be creative every single day, which is not the case when you’re making films. I get to talk to America every night, and be a consistent and present father and husband.” Did Craig Ferguson give you any advice? “He said, ‘I’m here for you. Any advice you need, any help you require, I’m here, use me.’ But [all the late-night hosts] have been great: Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers.” Were you a fan of late-night shows growing up? “I didn’t know what these shows were when I was a kid. YouTube didn’t exist. You never see David Letterman on British TV.” Lots of Brits who move to Los Angeles seem to like to be near the ocean. “It makes no sense to me to fly 11½ hours and then be another hour from the sea. So yes, we are on that side of town.”

A: The Academy Award winner, 47, is all about TV for 2015. He gueststarred on FOX’s Wednesday night series Empire, had a starring role in BET’s The Book of Negroes, is currently filming the role of O.J. Simpson for the new FX series American Crime Story and will play himself in Comedy Central’s new series Big Time in Hollywood, FL, premiering March 25.

A: She does! Mazar is one of the stars of TV Land’s new series Younger, premiering March 31, about a single mom (Sutton Foster) who has trouble re-entering the work world because of her age. After a makeover by her best friend Maggie (Mazar), she reinvents herself as a much younger woman. “It’s called survival,” says Mazar, 50. “It’s also called keeping it interesting.”

Rising Star Shailene Woodley, 23, onscreen now in Insurgent, the second movie in the sci-ﬁ trilogy based on the hit novels by Veronica Roth, got her big Hollywood break while she was still a teenager. Here are ﬁve facts you may not have known about the rising star.

1. Woodley worked at American Apparel while shooting the TV show The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She ﬁnally quit when she landed her role in the movie The Descendants (2011). WOODLEY BY JON FURNISS/INVISION/AP IMAGES; POCAHONTAS BY WALT DISNEY PICTURES/ZUMA PRESS

2. She was diagnosed with scoliosis at 15 and wore a back brace for 2 years.

3. She cut her hair for The Fault in Our Stars (2014) and vetoed wearing a wig in Insurgent. That’s why the hair of her character Tris is much shorter than in the previous movie. 4. She makes her own toothpaste out of clay, coconut oil, baking soda and peppermint. 5. Whenever she needs to be cheered up, she watches Disney movies. Her favorite is Pocahontas.

Eloise’s Sketchy Beginnings The imaginative girl who lives in the “room on the tippy-top ﬂoor” of The Plaza Hotel in New York City has been delighting young readers for decades, including Girls creator Lena Dunham, who has an Eloise tattoo on her back. Some people speculate that author Kay Thompson’s goddaughter, actress Liza Minnelli, was the inspiration for the character, but when it came to how she appeared on the page, illustrator Hilary Knight says she “was a combination of every person I had ever known, including myself.” Learn more in the March 23 HBO documentary (with Dunham as executive producer) It’s Me, Hilary: The Man Who Drew Eloise, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the ﬁrst Eloise book.

BAD

HABITS Tap into your own personality traits to stop oversleeping, oversharing, overeating and more. By Abigail Walch • Cover photography by erin & erica

Better than Before author Gretchen Rubin

RUBIN BY ERIN & ERICA; STUDIO: ELK STUDIOS; SET DESIGNER: MATT TONG/MBT SPECIALTIES; H/MU: STACY SKINNER/AMAX TALENT

nacking late at night, skimping on sleep, nail biting, binging on House of Cards—nearly everyone has vices. That’s because, try as we might, bad habits are maddeningly hard to break. On the flip side, good habits, such as eating more healthfully or exercising regularly, never seem to stick. The upshot: Most people throw up their hands and surrender. But now a new book, Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives, (Crown, 2015) by best-selling author Gretchen Rubin, offers some insightful solutions. (Warning: There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy.) “It would be so great if there was a magic answer that would do it for all of us, but it doesn’t exist,” says Rubin, 47. “We know that because we’d all have great habits if there was one thing we could all do. You have to take it back to yourself.” Rubin, whose fascination with habits evolved during her exhaustive research on happiness—which resulted in two blockbuster books, The Happiness Project (2009) and Happier at Home (2012)—found that our inability to master unwanted behaviors was a major

downer. So, after guiding millions of readers down the path of true contentedness, New York City-based Rubin, a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, turned her investigative skills towards habits. Her most revealing find? Change is possible if we do some soul searching and identify how we respond to expectations. And, just about everybody falls into one of four personality categories: Questioners, Obligers, Rebels and Upholders. “It was like discovering the periodic table of elements,” says Rubin, who developed the Four Tendencies personality framework to help those in search of habit change determine their type. Rubin believes herself to be a classic Upholder, someone who forms habits relatively easily because she responds well to both other people’s deadlines and her own. As to the other types, Questioners will only form a habit if it makes sense to them; Obligers work hard to meet other people’s expectations but often let themselves down. And Rebels resent—and resist— habits. The trick, says Rubin, is to “tailor your habits to suit yourself.”

Which Personality Type Are You?

PERSONALITY + PAIRING = SUCCESS

After acquainting readers with tendencies, Rubin poses questions in the book to help tease out more nuanced personality puzzle pieces. Are you a lark or an owl, a lover of simplicity or abundance, an underbuyer or an overbuyer, an abstainer or a moderator, a sprinter or a marathoner? “Think about the habit that you want to form and then think, What’s everything I could do to set myself up for success?” says Rubin. For example, if you want to exercise more and you’re an Obliger and a lark, call your friend who lives across the street to meet at 6:30 every morning for a walk. One common pitfall, says Rubin,

especially when it comes to changing your diet, is lack of clarity. “You can’t make a habit out of eating more healthfully,” she says. Instead, your habit should be specific, something like: “I’m going to pack a lunch every day and bring it to work instead of eating out.” Other helpful diet strategies include practicing distraction (a friend of

Rubin’s files her nails when the urge to snack strikes) and monitoring intake (Rubin uses the MyFitnessPal app to track food). As for exercise, Rubin recommends a strategy called pairing—coupling two activities, one that you need or want to do and one that you don’t particularly want to do. Rubin, for example, only allows herself to read magazines while on cardio machines at the gym. When her younger sister, Elizabeth Craft, 43, complained that she had no time for exercise, Rubin gave her the ultimate pairing device for her 40th birthday: a treadmill desk. “It’s so satisfying to leave work and say, ‘Not only did I work today, but I walked five miles,’” says Craft, a Los Angeles-based television writer and producer. It is this same deeper understanding of self that helped Maria Giacchino, 53, a music and film producer in New York, cut down on drinking. Through conversations with Rubin, a longtime friend, Giacchino came to see how much her drinking was tied to her identity as a wine-loving Italian. “I felt like I wasn’t necessarily making a choice before, and now I know I can,” says Giacchino, who is part Rebel and more likely to succeed when she feels in control of her decisions. Now, when the sun is setting and dinner prep begins—cues that would typically inspire Giacchino to pour a glass of wine— she waits 15 minutes, distracts herself with the newspaper or Facebook and then reevaluates. While en route to becoming the Habit Change Guru, Rubin also looked to make changes closer to home. Through “some combination of proselytization, harassing and explaining why something is the right thing,” in the words of her husband, Jamie Rubin, 47, she has encouraged him to adopt better eating habits and is currently working on getting him to go to bed earlier. “She tries to convince me,” says Jamie, continued on page 9 MARCH 22, 2015 | 7

Bad Habits on the Small Screen You’re not alone when it comes to struggling with bad habits. They’re on display on screens everywhere—from Birdman star Michael Keaton’s obvious gum-smacking at the Academy Awards to Lady Mary’s predilection for making poor romantic choices on Downton Abbey. Here we apply Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies personality framework to a few ﬁctional folks’ foibles.

Habit: inappropriately bursting into song Tendency: Obliger As a salesman with daddy issues, Andy is the ultimate Obliger who tries to meet all his co-workers’ expectations. Maybe his musical outbursts are the one way his true personality is popping out? Obliger with a side of Rebel?

Kramer (Seinfeld) Habit: barging into rooms without knocking Tendency: Questioner As a Questioner, Kramer is meeting his own expectations of behavior and resisting common etiquette. He needs a good reason not to barge in; Jerry and the gang never gave him one, so why would he change?

Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City) Habit: relentless shoe-shopping despite a limited budget Tendency: Rebel Shoes and fashion are part of her identity, so it takes serious repercussions (i.e., ﬁnancial problems) for Carrie to reign in her spending. As Rubin says in her book, “Rebels wake up and think, ‘What do I want to do today?’” What Carrie wants, obviously, is to have the freedom to shop and adorn herself— regardless of the consequences.

Chris Traeger (Parks and Recreation) Habit: compulsively exercising and taking healthy eating to the extreme Tendency: Upholder Chris is very self-motivated and, like any good Upholder, he may be so busy relentlessly meeting outer and inner expectations that he’s overdoing it. Maybe he needs to lower his own expectations and give himself a gold star for moderation.

Peter Grifﬁn (Family Guy) Habit: brash impulsiveness Tendency: Rebel With seemingly no impulse control at all, the obese head of the animated Grifﬁn family is a no-holds-barred, no-rules Rebel. He doesn’t think before he speaks and he is, to use a word Rubin has in her Rebel description, “unshackled.”

Olivia Pope (Scandal) Habit: drinking very expensive red wine at night Tendency: Questioner If asked about her drinking, Olivia would no doubt explain, “I can afford it and it’s not affecting my work performance, so bring on the Bordeaux.” Like a typical Questioner, she’s meeting her own expectations and doesn’t much give a ﬁg about what others expect of her.

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

NEW!

Can you tell me what’s so wrong with the U.S. paying ransoms for hostages held by terrorists? Even a price in the millions is paltry compared to our government’s vast financial resources, and it’s obviously morally right to use a micro-percentage of it to save American lives. —M.V. New York

Introducing the easy and affordable way to call, text and email. Simple meets smart with the Jitterbug® Touch3 from GreatCall,® the new smartphone from the creators of the original, easy-to-use Jitterbug cell phone. EASY Now you can talk, text, email, download apps and browse the Internet with ease. Unlike other smartphones that are complicated with tiny icons and multiple screens, the Jitterbug Touch3 is easy to use right from the moment you turn it on. Everything you want to do, from texting to taking photos, is organized in a single list on one screen with large, legible letters. This simpliﬁed approach takes all the guesswork out of using a smartphone and puts everything right at your ﬁngertips.

This is an example of how an action that may be morally right may also be unwise to actually perform. First, paying ransoms to liberate hostages puts a price tag on every American, thus encouraging terrorists to take more hostages. Second, which may be even worse, is that ransom payments help fund the various activities of the terrorist organizations, thus making them stronger and helping them grow and succeed in their mission. This is why hostage trading is usually preferable.

SMART Built by Samsung, the Touch3 has an ultra-modern look and has been specially designed with GreatCall’s signature simplicity. The 4-inch display and full-size on-screen keyboard make typing effortless, while the built-in camera lets you capture and share photos anywhere. The Touch3 comes preloaded with GreatCall’s award-winning health and safety apps, including 5Star ® and Urgent Care, so you can get the help you need wherever, whenever you need it. AFFORDABLE Other smartphones require excessive plans that make you pay for data you don’t need. Starting at just $249 per month, GreatCall provides a variety of data plans so you’re able to add the one that works best for you. Compared to other cell phone companies, you could save over $300 per year, making the Touch3 phone plans the most affordable on the market.
