Country superstar Garth Brooks covers the latest issue of PEOPLE and opens up about family life with wife Trisha Yearwood and his three daughters – Taylor, 22, August, 20, and Allie, 18 – from his first marriage to Sandy Mahl. Brooks retired from music in 2000 to raise his daughters, and is now releasing his ninth studio album, Man Against Machine.

On his return to music: “This is not work. I just love to see people having a good time…People said, ‘How could you walk away from music?’ But being a dad – there’s nothing that can touch that.”

On settling in with his daughters in a one-bathroom bunkhouse on his ranch in Oklahoma: “I’d just stare at them. I knew their sweet faces and their dispositions. But I didn’t know who they were. You start being a part of the community. The dads across the soccer field looked at me as a dad just like them. And I was very grateful.”

On his kids: “[They] are the greatest joy and the greatest heartache you’ll ever have. The saying is, as long as your babies are healthy, everything else you can deal with. If they have D’s, if they flunk, you deal with it. You can introduce them to the Lord, teach them manners, teach them to believe in themselves, but the truth is, they’re going to be who they’re going to be.”

On facing the empty nest now that all of his daughters have graduated from high school: “I am in the period now where I think I pray more than I ever have in my life. Because for some reason when they were under my roof, I felt like I might have had some control, you know? Thank God I’m with the love of my life. That’s why I know I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”

Maisie Williams – little Arya Stark on Game of Thrones – covers the new issue of Dazed. Maisie is actually 17 years old now, although she still has that kind of baby face that works well for permanent-child Arya. I actually love this Dazed shoot – I like that it’s not “high fashion” or even about the clothes. It’s just about her face and her expressions. And Maisie is one fierce young woman! Some highlights from the interview:

People underestimate her generation: “People think we’re f–king stupid and we don’t know anything about anything. It’s really degrading. I get a lot of adults who are like, ‘You don’t know sh-t,’ and it’s like, ‘You don’t know sh-t. You have no idea what it’s like to be 17 years old.’”

Kit Harington on Ayra: “[Arya] is one of the hardest to cast, and what you’re really looking for is that character in the child. When Maisie walked into the room, that’s what they got. She had the energy of Arya, the cockiness and reckless abandon. They’re kindred spirits, really.”

Maisie on what Lupita Nyong’o said to her: “She said, ‘It sounds stupid, but I’ve learned so much from you. I watch Game of Thrones all the time and honestly, being so new myself in the industry, I was just watching people who had done this same sort of thing.’”

Whether she considers herself a role model: “Whether I like it or not, I’ve become influential to people. I don’t wanna be liked just because I’m pretty. That’s f–king boring, and I’m not that. Lots of young people in the industry try to play it cool, but it just makes them look like arrogant d**kheads. I’d much rather be liked because people realize that I’m standing up for myself.”

So much ‘tude!! When I was 17 years old… I was more sullen and try-hard cynical. I pretended to be worldly, like I had seen it all before. And in truth, I was pretty g—damn sheltered. I get a similar vibe off Maisie, and I don’t mean that in a “I hate her” sort of way at all. She’s a kid and she’s got a ‘tude. It’s fine. I’d like to point out to her that all of the adults telling her that she “doesn’t know sh-t” were once 17 though. They DO know what it’s like to be 17 years old. And that’s probably why they’re telling her to settle down, perhaps?

Lainey will tell you, I’ve been very reluctant to get sucked into the orbit of the Deadpool movie starring Ryan Reynolds. Fox has already botched this character once, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and I don’t trust them not to f*ck it up again. But a recent spate of information has piqued my curio…      

This week, it feels like the olden days of Twihardom. I think it was all of those “sources” confirming Robert Pattinson’s engagement to FKA Twigs last week. It’s brought up all of the Twihard Feels, and People Magazine has been all over it. A few days ago, People even ran an “insider” story about how Kristen Stewart reacted to Sparkles & Twigs’ engagement. Basically, the source claims, Kristen “will survive” and she’s “doing fine.” But… but… what if she’s secretly pining for Sparkles?! What if she’s only realized now that she’s meant to be with Sparkles for all eternity?! ROBSTEN IS UNBROKEN!!!!

But Robsten is, in fact, broken. And Rob seems very happy with Twigs. And People’s sources say that Rob might be living out another dream really soon: fatherhood!

He’s already got some onscreen experience playing a dad in the final Twilight installment, but, spoiler alert: One of Robert Pattinson’s next real-life roles may be father, too. The actor recently proposed to indie singer FKA twigs, PEOPLE confirmed April 1, and it turns out his bride-to-be fancies starting a family.

“She really wants kids,” a source close to Pattinson says of fellow Brit twigs (née Tahliah Barnett) in the new issue of PEOPLE.

The couple began dating in September, and their romance escalated quickly: Pattinson traveled with the artist on her European tour in the fall, the pair were spotted getting cozy during Miami’s Art Basel fair in December, and a source told PEOPLE last month they were living together.

While the pair are eyeing late-summer nuptials (and a casual pub wedding if twigs has her way!), plans are “not definite,” the source says.

[From People]

The “casual pub wedding” references a previous People story, where sources claimed that Rob’s parents would like the kids to do a nice church wedding, but Rob and Twigs would prefer something more “informal, like a pub wedding.” Sources also say that the plan at this moment is for a late summer wedding but those plans are “not definite.”

As for a Sparklebaby… or should I say a SparkleTwigBaby?… I think they would make beautiful babies. And Rob is 28 years old now. He’s old enough to enjoy it. The thing that really strikes me about Twigs and Sparkles’ relationship is how drama-free it’s been. It’s like they met, hit it off, and jumped into a committed, loving relationship very quickly… and that’s it. It doesn’t seem like they fight, they’re not breaking up every two seconds, they’re not airing their stuff on social media. It’s nice, isn’t it?

Say what you want about Marilyn Manson (many people do), but the guy is a rock star. I’m not wild about what he does in his personal life. There’s also a fair chance that he enabled Johnny Depp’s descent into a caricature. But — don’t laugh too hard — Manson is a fine frontman, and his musical style has evolved past shock tactics. The Pale Emporer is a staggeringly bluesy album. He’s still a mess though. Dude has a reputation as a nefarious cad to maintain, so sometimes he gets carried away with rebellion. Such as the time when he scrawled “F*** you” on his face to deter the LAX paparazzi. Then he felt bad, apologized, and covered his face around children in the airport. I do notice the guy’s interactions with fans, and he’s usually swell to them. This story about him getting punched in the face at a Canadian Denny’s sounds off somehow:

Goth rocker Marilyn Manson got more than two pancakes, two eggs, two pieces of bacon and two sausage links during a trip to Denny’s this past weekend … he allegedly got clocked in the face!

According to our sources, Manson had a concert in Alberta, Canada on Saturday night and hit up a local Denny’s around 2 AM. We’re told Manson got into an argument with a group at another table, and at some point allegedly called a guy’s gf a bitch.

The guy was pissed, and we’re told he responded by punching Manson in the face.

Police confirm there was a disturbance at Denny’s that night, but no charges were filed and the case is closed.

We’ve reached out to Manson, and he’s going on the attack for what he calls a “sucker punch.”

[From TMZ]

TMZ followed up with Manson’s manager, who says Manson posed for photos with these woman and didn’t call anyone a bitch. He says the attacker elbowed Manson’s makeup artist in the face and “began screaming about blowing up Manson’s next concert.” A witness spoke with the Toronto Sun and says, “Manson was being friendly with everyone, anyone who wanted a picture, he would give them a picture, anyone who wanted an autograph he would give them an autograph. They were just talking and the guy just punched him right in the face without any provocation.” It sounds like this guy just wanted to punch Marilyn Manson, so that’s what he did. Manson says he will press charges in Alberta.

More Manson news. He and Billy Corgan announced a joint tour this summer. They did a Reddit AMA together. I was struck at how giggly they were together, both typing “hehee” all over the place. They gushed about cats. Manson admits to getting drunk and buying stuff on the internet, and then he forgets until “it’s like Christmas” when packages arrive. They discuss the rumor that Manson was really Paul Pfeiffer from The Wonder Years, and Billy says that rumor used to be about him. I remember people saying Billy was the kid from Small Wonder. It’s a fun read.

Last week STAR Magazine took a blind shot in the dark, reporting that Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are done because he didn’t get on a plane from Taiwan, where he’s been working on a Scorsese movie, to join her for award season. Click here for a refresher on my initial comments.

Yesterday t…      

Here are some photos of Khloe Kardashian at LAX yesterday. She was hopping a flight to Armenia, just like Kim, Kanye and North, to explore the Kardashian heritage. Khloe seemed to walk separately from the Kimye-clan, so whatever, let’s talk about these photos separately.

Mostly, I wanted to talk about Khloe’s hair these days. She’s been going blonde very gradually over the past month, which is pretty smart. I think Kim’s radical platinum blonde job probably f—ked up her hair in a big way. But Khloe has been easing into a more flattering honey-caramel blonde, sort of a Jennifer Aniston-blonde. I believe Khloe’s coloring is naturally a lot lighter than Kim’s and Kourtney’s, and Khloe used to be blonde-ish back in the day and it sort of worked for her. I think this works on her too – she’s really found the right shade to compliment her skin and eyes.

Meanwhile, Khloe posted this on her Instagram yesterday:

???????????? hand game on point???????????? #ShayJewelry #Cartier #xivKarats

A photo posted by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on Apr 7, 2015 at 1:07pm PDT

People are pointing out that she still hasn’t removed her “LO” tattoo for Lamar Odom. My current thinking is that she’s still seeing Lamar on the not-so-downlow, plus she’s still dealing with French Montana. Also: that’s some serious jewelry. The Cartier Love Bracelet alone costs $50,000.

PS… I love her grey tote. Is that wrong?
