How Angela Bassett Is Guiding Her Preteens

Setting an example. Angela Bassett has it all figured out when it comes to parenting her 12-year-old twins, Bronwyn and Slater: be a good role model!

Angela Bassett: What’s In My Bag?

“Kids, I think they look to their parents,” the American Horror Story actress, 59, says in the newest issue of Us Weekly. “There’s much in the world that’s vying for their attention and their thoughts.”

As a mother, Bassett — who played Queen Mother of Wakanda in Black Panther — believes that her job relies heavily on helping her kids “stay on the proper road.” For her daughter, that includes nurturing self-esteem and a healthy body image — which isn’t always as easy when it comes to being raised by one of Hollywood’s most beautiful celebrities. Especially considering the actress nearly broke the internet with a stunning photo of herself in a bathing suit. “I felt good from the inside out and I just wanted to capture it,” she explained of the shot posted on Instagram in May.

She shares some valuable advice with Us when when it comes to her drive too. “As a dear friend said to me and it freed me up, exercise your no option,” she advised. “You can’t dance to every record. You have to sit some of them out so then you can really get down.”

That tip comes in handy when it comes to letting her daughter pave her own way. “Whatever she decides to put her hand and heart to I’ll be pleased,” she tells Us. “As long as she’s passionate about it.”

Buzzzz-o-Meter: Kourtney Kardashian's Fave Scent and More Celeb Must-Haves

Smell like a Kardashian — and throw your friends for a loop like Donald Glover . Kourtney Kardashian  doesn’t have to go to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory to find her Golden Ticket when fragrance brand Snif offers her favorite scent by the same name. “Have your tea and wear it too,” the company says of the fragrance, which features notes of “bergamot, black tea, green tea, golden maté, sage, galbanum (green, woody), incense, amber [and] vetiver,” according to their official website . Snif — which encourages shoppers to “trust your own damn nose” — promises buyers “accessible luxury” to their products, which also includes candles.

The footwear went viral after the Atlanta alum, 39,...

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
