Gavin’s Silly Sons Laughter is the best medicine! That’s why Gavin Rossdale is “the proudest person in the world” when his three sons crack jokes, the musician, 53, tells Us. Humor, he believes, isn’t just the best way for Kingston, 12, Zuma, 10, and Apollo, 5, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Gwen Stefani, “to learn and think and reflect,” but allows the boys to “laugh through the hardest of times.” Us catches up with the rocker dad. What else do you think is important to teach them? GR I may not be the best father in the world, but I made my kids think and be rational. Most people are [formed by] other people’s opinions, and I don’t want them to be that. If they can think for them-selves…

When Peta Murgatroyd was crowned the season champion of Dancing With the Stars with Nyle DiMarco in 2016, she bought herself a Chanel purse. “I love [their] bags,” says the star, 32, of Faith, Hope & Love (out now). The mom of Shai, 2 (with hubby Maksim Chmerkovskiy), tells Us what else she loves. IN HER BLOOD “My LivOn vitamins are the best on the market right now. They’re Lypo-Spheric, which means that they go into your bloodstream super quickly.” STICKY SITUATION “I have Purell wet wipes because I have a child. We’re cleaning constantly and making sure everything is sanitized.” SMOOTH OPERATOR “I have very dry skin, so hand cream is a must for me. I really like Palmer’s cocoa butter. It [also] fits into the handbag well.” CARD-CARRYING…

According to Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, England would be elated to see William and Kate ascend the throne. “A young king in touch with the people, Diana’s son with a beautiful queen and an adorable family… would uphold the future and longevity of the monarchy.” One can only imagine that Diana would feel the same about her oldest son. Adds Burrell, “William has his mother’s touch and has the ability to reach, to listen and to be understanding. It would take the monarchy to another level and back onto the world stage in a proper and meaningful way.”…

Elle Fanning has found actress nirvana! The 20-year-old leads musical drama Teen Spirit as Violet, a shy teenager in a small town who takes a chance in a singing competition. (The Handmaid’s Tale’s Max Minghella wrote and directed the film.) Elle hits all the right notes for Us. You cover Ellie Goulding, Ariana Grande and Katy Perry in this movie. Did any of them reach out to you? EF Katy reached out and said she loved it, and that was so cool. It was very exciting. I’ve heard you say you’ve always wanted to do something musical. EF I think what’s so great about this industry is that you can cross over. Scarlett Johansson did an album, and now Lady Gaga [is in a movie]! I think people are more…

“Do not f**k with Demi Lovato. She is a queen.” Defending the singer against body shamers JAMEELA JAMIL “She was like, ‘Mommy, you know when you’re on stage and you were singing?’… I was thinking like a compliment was about to come.

Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski, who’s dropping his first cookbook, Antoni in the Kitchen, this fall, wants everyone in the kitchen. The key is to “take one ingredient you like and reinvent it,” he tells Us. Like the egg: “Stop throwing those yellows away, people! They’re omega-3s, they’re good for you and cheap!” If you keep it simple — and meaningful — cooking becomes a joy. Case in point, Antoni’s recipe for fish sticks, which he used to eat as a kid: “They were a lot smaller back then,” he says. “They were literally the size of my pinkie even though I don’t have a big pinkie. I would just dip them in offensive amounts of ketchup.” Baked Crunchy Fish Fillets Puttanesca SERVES 4 INGREDIENTS 2–3 Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded Fish Fillets2…

In mid-January, a calm Duchess of Sussex rubbed her protruding belly amid a gaggle of well-wishers and shared that she and Prince Harry were “so excited” about the late-April arrival of their first child. Beaming, she declared, “We’re ready!” But the newest royal might have been dabbling in some wishful thinking — considering that the next couple months were a mad dash to complete a reportedly £3 million renovation of the Sussexes’ new countryside residence of Frogmore Cottage. Only now, confirms a source, after Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, have finally moved into their revamped manse on the Windsor grounds, have the parents-to-be truly felt “ready” for their littlest heir to arrive. The source reports that the moving trucks “finished delivering the final furniture and home items” on April 8,…

Ryan O’Connell is ready to change the conversation. Four years after releasing a memoir meets manifesto based on his life, the former Awkward writer penned and stars in Special (April 12, Netflix), a semiautobiographical series about his life growing up as a gay man living with cerebral palsy. As for the “semi” part, says Ryan, “I’d hope I have my s**t together more than the character. My social life was always poppin’.” THE RIGHT TIME Ryan admits it’s scary to be open about his disability but knows it’s worth it. “Disabled people’s stories have been ignored for so long, which sends the message that our lives aren’t worth exploring,” he says. The eight-episode series also depicts sex scenes realistically, which Ryan thought would be the most difficult to shoot: “It…

SHAWN & ANDREW BABY JOY! Shawn Johnson is jumping for joy. The former gymnast and her husband, Andrew East, are expecting their first child together a year and a half after suffering a miscarriage. “We’re very excited,” she tells Us exclusively. “We’ve been wanting to start a family.” Still, the pair, who wed in 2016, are remaining “cautious” and taking the pregnancy “day by day. [The miscarriage] definitely made me more anxious, naturally,” she admits. Luckily, “everything is looking good,” except her “roller-coaster” appetite. Jokes Shawn, “Avocado is usually my lifeline and now it’s the devil!” PARTY OF THREE The NFL pro and the Olympian, both 27, can’t wait to share their exciting life with a little one. “My husband and I have met so many incredible people, traveled the world…

If you’ve seen a body-switching movie — 13 Going on 30, Freaky Friday, Shazam! — then you already know the importance of being true to yourself at any age. This breezy comedy barely manages to sell the musty message. Jordan (Regina Hall) is a nerd turned demanding tech mogul who breaks up office birthday parties and won’t let anyone eat carbs. She’s also a tyrant to her devoted assistant, April (Issa Rae). “I used to be little,” she sneers to one quivering teen. “Then I got big and rich!” And, poof! The next morning, Jordan’s aghast to learn she’s reverted to her frizzy-haired, bespectacled 13-year-old self (Marsai Martin). Mini Jordan is a hilarious diva in overalls, especially when April sends her back to school (where she hits on her teacher,…

MR. MISTOFFELEES / CATS ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING I loved Cats as a kid and dressed up as a cat for three years after I saw it. I painted myself gold. My daughter requested it and we’ve been pumping it! WHITE FERRARI / FRANK OCEAN How does he do it? It’s just magic. The way the textures, sonically, and melodies come in and out? It’s genius work. I love that record. ANYWHERE / ANDERSON. PAAK It’s just that classic G-funk-style production. It feels like a throwback. It’s a feel-good summer song that I played throughout the entire fall and winter. 2009 / MAC MILLER Mac was a genius when it came to creating melodies, and this one just captures something. Its spirit gets me emotional and makes me appreciate life.…
