Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at Clarins' Night of Extra event in Los Angeles on March 20, the social media personality, 29, said she's "learned so much through the years" about protecting her relationships in the public eye.

"I think keeping what's personal and what's so special to you private, it's the best thing for you and your relationships," she explained, adding, "But we all live and learn, and we're all just doing our best."

Culpo said that "having a sense of humor" is also key.

"Being a little cheeky with it," she said. "You've got to stick up for yourself, too."

"Me logging on to the Internet to figure out what city I'm in today," Culpo wrote alongside the March 11 video, which showed the content creator putting on glasses, pulling out her computer and mimicking searching for herself online.

She then turned toward the window and lowered her glasses skeptically as the camera panned to reveal a set of palm trees outside, seemingly to make it clear she was not in New York.

Elsewhere in her conversation with PEOPLE at the Clarins soirée, Culpo revealed "the most extra thing" about her beauty routine.

"I cannot have dry skin," she said. "I have to lotion head to toe at least once a day. That's the most extra thing."

Culpo also shared some beauty regrets from her past that still "haunt" her.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher on This Week's Topical Episode of 'Marshals'

As we wend our way closer to the mid-point ofMarshals's 13-episodefirst seasonthe stakes are only getting higher for Montana's favorite U.S. Marshal team. Iflast week's outingwas all about character building, this week, the work is front and center as Kayce and the squad take on a topical case that has emotions running high.

Here's what happened on this week's episode ofMarshals:

Hope is a knife that cuts two ways

Last week's episode saw the Marshals team divided, and while there are nominally two cases this week, after their shared camaraderie last time, the squad is (mostly) back on the same page and covering one another's backs.

As the title "Lost Girls" suggests, the primary case this week centers on teen girls who have gone missing from the Broken Rock reservation—a nod to the real life tragedy of the disproportionate number of Indigenous women who go missing each year.

Kayce stumbles his way into the case when—following an incident with Tate getting injured—Kayce attempts to sell the temperamental mustang that once belonged to his late wife, Monica. Tate (he's back!) disapproves of the sale, feeling connected to his mother through the horse, but it winds up not mattering, because the surly equine bites his would-be buyer, who cancels the purchase. On the drive back from the failed transaction, Tate sees a girl he knows from the reservation school, Hailey, at a gas station, and her cagey behavior immediately catches his attention. At Marshals HQ, Kayce quickly discovers that Hailey was reported missing weeks ago and may have been trafficked; the team is immediately in favor of looking into it.

Unfortunately, Cal informs them they've been assigned to protect a witness in a federal fraud case (more on that in a moment) but Kayce and Miles convince him to let them have an unofficial chat with Hailey's mom anyway. There they learn that Hailey's not the only girl from the reservation that's gone missing in recent months—in fact, Miles worked on the case of another girl, Ava, when he was a res cop.

The mothers beg Kayce and Miles not to give up on this case, but Broken Rock chairman Thomas Rainwater has a different take. Showing up with his righthand man, Mo, Rainwater points out to Kayce that, since the marshals haven't officially been invited onto the case by the reservation police, he and Miles are here unofficially, and that the government has a long history of writing girls like Hailey and Ava off as runaways. He warns that Kayce and Miles's bosses will never let them get involved, and that by coming here they've only given the mothers false hope.

Warm weather scams

While Miles and Kayce deal with things on the reservation, Cal, Andrea, and Belle are on witness duty, and no one is happy about it. The witness in question is a cocky lowlife named Lachance, who's taking advantage of a "pocket change" federal case to order room service steak at a hotel and get sent to Hawaii in the witness protection program. While dealing with his annoying antics, the women keep quietly working on the case of the missing girls behind Cal's back (making me question Cal's detective skills.) They're able to track down some information on the man they think catfished Hailey and Ava and send Kayce and Miles to a place they think he can be found.

After giving federal agents a false tip that Lachance plans to commit more crimes in Hawaii, thus getting him banished to witness protection in a colder, more miserable locale, the marshal trio returns to HQ where Rainwater is waiting. The tribal leader swallows his pride and asks Cal to get the marshals involved officially, and the women reveal that (surprise!) they've been on it the whole time, and, using some information that Kayce and Miles beat out of the catfisher (on-theme, fishhooks are involved) have found the name of the man they think is behind the trafficking scheme: Bledsoe.

Hope is contagious

After turning over the catfisher to Mo for what I'm sure will bea very stern talking to(see: Odds & Ends) Kayce and Miles head back to the gas station to look for Bledsoe, whose alias just bought gas there. Kayce immediately finds Hailey (did anyone consider going back there before??) However, Hailey refuses to go with him, saying that Bledsoe is trafficking 9 other girls as well and if she escapes, he'll kill them—a fact she knows because he previously killed Ava.

Kayce agrees to let her go, earning the wrath of Miles, who blames himself for not being able to save Ava. Hailey did give them a lead though, telling them about a place with trees where Bledsoe also takes the girls. The team determine the trees are a logo and with CCTV are able to pinpoint a camper van that Bledsoe must be using to drive the girls around.

The team takes off after the camper, trailing it to a deserted stretch of road. While Cal insists that they should tail them at a distance to discover where they're going, an enraged Miles refuses to slow down, alerting the men in the camper, who fire at the marshals. With some coordinated driving, they manage to bring the camper to a halt and dispatch the traffickers, only to discover that the girls aren't in the camper at all.

And with that, we come to perhaps the most brutal ending to an episode ofMarshalsso far—a title card saying "TO BE CONTINUED."

Odds & Ends

"The only way left in this world to hurt me is through you, son," Kayce tells Tate at the beginning of this episode. I'm certain that won't prove portentous in any way as the season goes on.
If I have nightmares about getting a fishhook stuck in my face, I'm taking it up with this show.
In keeping with Yellowstone's history, Marshals stands on complicated moral footing. In the five episodes of this season so far, we've seen Kayce shoot multiple people in the line of duty, straight-forwardly murder a (albeit dying) man and dump his body, and turn a man over to Mo for some amorphous-but-deadly-seeming vengeance. I'm not sure what point, if any, the show is trying to make about that yet, but it's definitely… complicated.
The idea of a remembrance service for Monica on the reservation has been floated for several episodes now. This episode seems to imply that it might be happening simultaneously with the case, but it's a little vague—maybe we'll see it (and Tate's heretofore unseen grandfather) next week.

Jefferson Airplane Guitarist Reflects on Band's Formation 60 Years Ago, Says Grace Slick Changed 'Everything' (Exclusive)

Jorma Kaukonen initially planned to move to Denmark in the '60s, but joined Jefferson Airplane after being invited by Paul Kantner

NEED TO KNOW

The band solidified itself with its first album, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, but grew to new heights after releasing Surrealistic Pillow with Grace Slick
Kaukonen reflects on the album's lasting legacy, calling it a "bona fide work of art" decades later

Jorma Kaukonen didn't know how big Jefferson Airplane would become when he first joined the band.

The Grammy award-winning guitarist, 85, tells PEOPLE that he first crossed paths with one of the original members at school, and they became fast friends.

"Paul Kanter had moved to San Francisco, right around the time I was graduating from the University of Santa Clara, and he met Marty Balin, the two guys are the founders of the Jefferson Airplane," he shares. "They started this band and asked me if I wanted to join."

At the time, Kaukonen had convinced himself that he was going to move to Denmark, where he would become an expat American blues musician.

"For better rather than worse, I think I got distracted and went to San Francisco and got snookered into playing in the band that would ultimately be called Jefferson Airplane," the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee shares.

Aside from Kaukonen, Kanter and Balin, the original band consisted of vocalist Signe Toly Anderson, bass player Bob Harvey and drummer Jerry Peloquin. However, Jack Casady soon replaced Harvey and Skip Spence replaced Peloquin.

When the band got together, they were slated to be the house band at a club called The Matrix.

"I don't think my dreams expanded much larger than something like that," Kaukonen admits. "San Jose was a small one back in those days. I was teaching in a music store. I really had a comfortable life, and I really didn't think about being 'a star' at any level."

Looking back at the time, he admits that he also felt a sense of "youthful self-entitlement."

"When good things happen to you when you're young, it's like, 'I really deserve this.' It's not like we worked for years and finally achieved success. The band got together in August of 1965, and we had a record deal with a major label in our city before the year was out. How many people does that happen to?" Kaukonen says.

One year after the band formed, in August 1966, they released their debut studio album,Jefferson Airplane Takes Off.While the album wasn't a chart-topping hit, it established the band in the American rock world.

Then, in 1967, Jefferson Airplane releasedSurrealistic Pillow,the band's first album with vocalist Grace Slick and drummer Spencer Dryden. The album featured the popular songs "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit."

To Kaukonen, the album was a "major breakout for us on more levels than I can count."

"When we got Grace [Slick] in the band, everything really changed. It was a headspace thing," he shares. "I had never played in an electric band before. Everything was totally new. I'm learning how to play electric guitar, what to play in electric guitar, how to deal with the sounds, most importantly, how to play in a band."

"For me, it was all uncharted territory, and it was a quantum leap, really, fromJefferson Airplane Takes OfftoSurrealistic Pillow," Kaukonen notes.

TheLibrary of Congresslater recognized the album as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

"There've been a lot of legacy-related things that happened with that album that none of us could have possibly imagined or would've even wanted to imagine back in that time," he adds.

One of the things that still takes Kaukonen by surprise is that "this many years later, it's a respected work of art."

"I don't think I would've called it that when I was a kid when we recorded, but to me, it's a bona fide work of art and to have earned the respect that it has is an honor on more levels than I can really express," Kaukonen shares.

Kaukonen says the album is "the link that created a lot of ripples that are still rippling for my pals and me."

"When you're a young, successful artist, you accept it as just the way things are. But looking back on it, it was a fortuitous set of circumstances for us," Kaukonen says.

Despite being in his 80s, the guitarist continues to play and released the albumWabash Avenuein 2025. He will tour this year, with a stop in Michigan's Historic Ironwood Theatre with John Hurlbut.

'SNL UK' takes on former Prince Andrew scandal, roasts Prince William

What if formerPrince Andrew befriended Jeffrey Epsteinas part of an elaborate plan to makeKing Charles IIIlook better by comparison?

That was the premise of the cold open of the latest episode of "Saturday Night Live UK," the new British spinoff of the American sketch comedy show. The sketch, which aired on March 28, depicted a fictional, secret meeting of MI5 agents in 1997. Jack Shep starred as Andrew, who, shortly after thedeath of Princess Diana, was briefed on a plan to improve Prince Charles' image.

"We have deduced that the only way to increase the likability of our future king is to decrease the likability of everyone around him," one of the agents told Andrew, who was presented with a "29-year plan to slowly, but surely, make the entire country think you are a ... well, have a little read."

Shep's Andrew flipped through documents outlining this plan and asked, "You actually want me to do all of this stuff? Even the part about befriending a notorious pedophile — before and after he's convicted?"

While the sketch spoofedAndrew's controversial ties tothe late convicted sex offender, Epstein was never mentioned by name. Andrew, who wasarrested in Februaryon suspicion of misconduct in public life, has said he regrets his friendship with Epstein and has denied wrongdoing.

'SNL UK' saysTrump wants to 'start World War III,' mocks Prince Andrew

"This all seems very high risk. God, I'm sweating," Shep as Andrew said, a reference to the real Andrew claiming he was medically unable to sweat duringhis infamous 2019 BBC interview.

Prince Andrew arrives to attend a Requiem Mass at Westminster Cathedral in London on Sept. 16, 2025.

But the plan went beyond just Epstein: In the sketch, when Shep's Andrew pointed outPrince Williamis "so handsome" that it will be hard to make him unlikable, one of the agents said, "We're seeing to that."Prince Harry, meanwhile, will "marry a woman 98% of the UK public will find it impossible to have a normal conversation about," another agent revealed.

Police officers, unmarked vehicles and media were seen at residences linked to disgraced former royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Feb. 19, 2026. Windsor was reportedly arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on the Sandringham estate. In a statement, Thames Valley police said they were also "carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk" as part of the investigation.
