CHRISSY TEIGEN “You have to give yourself time,” the 5-foot-9 beauty tells Us of dropping the pounds she gained with 8-month-old daughter Luna. “It’s not going to peel right off, and that’s OK.” When she plateaued, ModelFit toning classes and a protein-heavy diet (she cooks eggs in coconut oil) helped her push through, as did support from John Legend.

MONDAY 1/2 The Bachelor In the most shocking Bachelor announcement ever, Nick Viall — cocky kissandteller on two seasons of The Bachelorette, sortaredeemed truth speaker on Bachelor in Paradise — was chosen to preside over the land of hot tubs and roses.

I didn’t take a salary for Twins in 1988 because the studio was taking a risk on me by letting me do a comedy. I did make a profit-sharing deal and made more money from Twins than any other movie. 7.I play chess to relax when I’m…

But his path to a happy ending was, yes, a thorny one. “I don’t think there was an easy decision I made throughout the entire process,” confesses the tech salesman from Waukesha, Wisconsin (now based in Los Angeles). Viall, 36, tells Us about his latest love hunt. Were you hesitant to risk rejection on TV again? There were certainly some nerves and fears. But I’m not someone who tends to…
