Between her career and her kids, Lauren Conrad’s life is a balancing act — one she’s mastered. “It’s important to separate things so you can really focus,” the Hills alum, 33, tells Us. (She and hubby William Tell are parents to sons Liam James, 2, and Charlie Wolf, 1 month.) That way, Conrad doesn’t have “one eye on her phone” during family time or vice versa. The strategy doesn’t stop the fashion designer from bringing her little ones to work though. “That’s the kind of community we’ve built,” she says about Little Market, the fair trade company she founded with Hannah Skvarla. LC tells Us more. Q: Is there any overlap between your jobs as a mom and a businesswoman? I was able to find a way to give back…

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom aren’t heading down the aisle just yet. The pair were set to tie the knot this month, but a source tells Us the wedding’s been postponed: “They changed the timing due to the location they want.” Not to worry — everything’s still going smoothly for the couple (engaged since February). “They’re beyond in love,” the source adds, noting that the singer, 35, and the actor, 42, are enjoying every minute of planning their nuptials. “They’re going to have one local wedding party, and the other will be a destination wedding party.” Babies are also on the brain: “Katy wants to have her first kid soon after they get married,” says the source.…

For a pop star who’s constantly traveling the world, Kesha tries her best to stay grounded. One of the ways the performer, 32, does it? She carries a sentimental note from her mom. “It’s from when my first song ever came out,” says the singer of High Road (out Jan. 10). “It reads, ‘I’m so proud of you. I love you.’” She shares more with Us. FACE OFF “On my days off, I can’t f**k with wearing makeup — except lip balm. I made a lip gloss for my Kesha Rose Beauty line [out now]. It’s nourishing and gives a touch of pink according to your pH levels.” SHE ROCKS! “Whenever I go some-where, I usually get a crystal. I have them from all over the world.” HIGH NOTE “I…

1. Nature, forests and the sound of rivers soothe my soul. 2. My family’s real last name is Pisperikos. It was changed to Perkins when my grand-father Nick was naturalized. I’m proud of my immigrant heritage. 3. I grew up on a 600-acre farm in western Massachusetts. 4. Joni Mitchell is my idol. 5. My first car was a 1975 orange Fiat 128. I paid $700 for it. 6.

GWEN & BLAKE Love Is Patient… Blake Shelton is popping the question to Gwen Stefani any day now — at least, that’s what The Voice’s Rose Short says. “It’s coming,” the Team Gwen contestant tells Us. “He’s in love with that lady. You could see it all over him.” So what’s the holdup? Stefani (a devout Catholic) is waiting for her marriage to ex Gavin Rossdale to be annulled so she can marry Shelton in church, insiders say. Godspeed! ELLIE & MICHAEL Perfect Pair-ents No seven-year itch here! Ellie Kemper and Michael Koman have an Unbreakable bond — it’s time they’re short on! Since the birth of their second son in September, alone time has been hard to come by. Their solution? “We’re trying to do date nights,” the actress,…

It’s hard to believe it’s been six years since Paul Walker’s death. Those close to the Fast & Furious star — who was killed in a car accident on Nov. 30, 2013, at age 40 — are still processing the loss. “It’s definitely gotten easier,” Felicia Walker (who’s married to Paul’s brother Cody) tells Us, but “it’s never going to be the same.” The actor’s daughter, Meadow (above, inset), who was 15 at the time of the crash, moved to the East Coast to make a new life. Now in NYC, the model, 21, “can live a private life,” says a source, and “that’s all she’s ever wanted.” Felicia and Cody, for their part, have been working to keep Paul’s memory alive through his nonprofit Reach Out Worldwide, which brings…

While Kate’s father-in-law, Prince Charles, is said to be chomping at the bit to take over as king, a palace insider says some members of the monarchy are wishing Kate herself could wear the crown when the queen’s reign ends. “There are a lot of royals who’d prefer Prince William and Kate to leapfrog Charles,” says the insider. Either way, when her time comes, Kate, 37, will be ready. BORN FOR THIS The unflappable mom of three (Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4, and 19-month-old Louis, with William, who’s second in line to the throne after his father) “has been the rock of the family for years,” the insider says. She’s certainly kept her cool during her ongoing feud with sister-in-law Meghan Markle. “Even in that scenario, she rises above…

Don’t call the caterer! Instead, plan your holiday menu using advice from savvy chef Rachael Ray. First step? Lighten up! “My best advice is to remember that [the holidays] are supposed to be hella fun,” the TV host told Us at the Blue Moon Burger Bash during the NYC Wine & Food Festival. “Stop with your turkey and your goose. Make chili for Christmas or Hanukkah. Who cares?” The same pragmatic thinking can be applied to your guest list too. “Your gift to yourself is to be happy with the people you love,” Ray adds. “If you don’t love them, don’t invite them.” Genius! Ray shares her other go-to hostess hacks with Us. What’s a simple but delicious dish to serve for the holidays? RR I love a prime rib.…

Ten years after the divisive finale of Showtime’s The L Word, the stereotype-shattering series about a group of lesbians in Los Angeles returns. And it’s all thanks to original stars Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennig and Leisha Hailey, who “actively tried to bring the show back,” Beals, who plays Bette, tells Us: “It was something that was important to us, and we saw that there was a place and a need for it still.” The eight-episode sequel, The L Word: Generation Q (premiering Dec. 8 at 10 p.m.), will answer longtime fans’ burning questions but also introduce new characters, story lines and contemporary issues. Beals gives Us a preview. Q: How has the show adapted to the times? It really is much more inclusive of the queer community writ large. Rather…

Nothing’s black-and-white in the latest drama series from Apple TV+, Truth Be Told (Dec. 6), based on Kathleen Barber’s 2017 novel Are You Sleeping and executive-produced by Reese Witherspoon. In the fictional story, investigative reporter and true-crime podcast host Poppy Parnell (Octavia Spencer) examines the conviction of serial killer Warren Cave (Aaron Paul), who claims to have been framed. “I just like playing roles that challenge me,” the Breaking Bad alum tells Us. “Things I can sink my teeth into, and this job does that. DOUBLE DUTY Costarring Elizabeth Perkins, Mekhi Phifer, Ron Cephas Jones and Lizzy Caplan, the timely show — true-crime obsession is ultrapopular now — examines diversity, privacy and media. Castle Rock’s Caplan has one of the more challenging roles — or make that two, as she…

BRANDON & TAYLOR A bad breakup last year didn’t dampen the spirit of hopeless romantic Taylor, 27. And Brandon, 34, is the survivor of not one but two major injuries — the first on a basketball court and the second in a car. Sounds like a resilient pair! JESSICA & AUSTIN A deep connection has eluded nurse Jessica, 31, who’s the last single standing in her family. Austin, also 31, is a sports fanatic who’s been saddled with the curse of the nice guy: He says all the women he’s dated have had eyes only for bad boys. MEKA & MICHAEL Raised by a strong single mom, Meka, 25, once struggled with self-esteem but finally knows her worth — yet the dating apps kept setting her up with the wrong…

Connie Britton travels to Ethiopia every other year — in fact, it’s tradition! Ever since the American Horror Story star, 52, adopted Eyob, 8, from the African nation in 2011, she’s “committed” to taking him for frequent visits. He’s an “amazing traveler,” the Nashville alum tells Us about her son, joking, “The first plane ride, when I brought him back, he slept almost the entire time… and I haven’t slept since.” The actress shares more about her special bond with her little boy. Q: How else do you teach Eyob about his culture? We talk about it all the time. There’s a big map of Ethiopia and Africa in his room. I try to be as vocal about his experience and where he came from as possible in daily life.…

In October, Justin Timberlake made it very clear that Jessica Biel was his person. “It’s like a baptism, where you’re like, ‘I can’t go back,’” he gushed in an interview. But it seemed as though Timberlake, 38, forgot his religion on Nov. 21, when the singer was spotted holding hands with his Palmer costar, Alisha Wainwright, at a bar in New Orleans (inset). At one point, the former boy bander — sans wedding ring — even put his arm around the actress’ waist. JUST FRIENDS It looks bad, but it’s not. A source, who was at the bar, tells Us that Timberlake and Wainwright’s relationship is only platonic. “Justin and Alisha are just friends,” says the source. “Nothing remotely romantic is going on.” In fact, Wainwright, 30, “has been dating…

It sounds like Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum aren’t having a jolly start to the holidays. A source tells Us that Tatum, 39, and Dewan, also 39, are having custody issues over their daughter, Everly, 6. “Channing wasn’t receiving a response from Jenna’s side on scheduling details,” says the source. “He needed the court to step in.” But another insider tells Us the dancer wants “to be on the same page with [Tatum] and put Everly first.” GOOD SPIRITS Dewan, who’s expecting with Steve Kazee, is trying to stay jolly. “I’d love Everly to [understand] the importance of family around the holidays,” she told Us last month, adding that she and Kazee, 44, are “making new traditions.”…

The Theory of Everything’s Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones have reunited — only now they’re testing the theory of weather. Set in London in 1862, the film, which is loosely based on a factual story, follows a pioneering meteorologist and a daredevil pilot who travel waaaaay up in a hot-air balloon to break records and advance science. The higher the altitude, the closer they move toward death. The flight of fancy, a wonder to behold, turns fairly gripping as the pair battle hypoxia and blackouts, but these gravity-defying set pieces are undercut by low-stakes flashbacks that do little to enhance the narrative. Even the journey comes off as too inconsequential in the long run, considering that Jones’ fierce character is entirely fictional. Fun fact: Female aeronauts really did make a…
