They’re no longer an item, but Ariana Grande still rushed to be there for Pete Davidson on GRANDE Dec. 15 after he posted an alarming message on Instagram. “i really don’t want to be on this earth anymore,” wrote the comedian, 25, who’s been open about his struggle with borderline personality disorder. BY HIS SIDE When she saw the post, the “Thank U, Next” singer, 25, went to NBC studios, where Pete was preparing for that night’s Saturday Night Live episode, but he reportedly refused to see her. The NYPD also made a wellness check, and Pete appeared on the show just hours after the post.…

Nicki Minaj may be playing with fire. She rekindled her romance with pre-fame flame Kenneth Petty in November — and has been defending the relationship ever since. The registered sex offender, 40, was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in 1995 and later served time for man-slaughter. (He was released from prison in 2013.) But Nicki’s not interested in listening to concerned fans: “Y’all can’t run my life,” she posted on Instagram.…

The secret to traveling comfortably? For Olivia Munn, it’s a hot water bottle. “It’s just always cold on planes, so I fill it up with boiling-hot water,” says the star of 2019’s Dark Phoenix. “It changes my trip.” The actress, 38, takes Us on a tour through the rest of her bag. NOT MESSING AROUND “Wet Ones are so great. Not only are they good for sanitizing, but it’s the only product I’ve found that can get a stain out of clothes immediately.” BBM BB “I’ve just recently gotten back into my BlackBerry, and I absolutely love it.” SPIRITUAL HEALING “A friend of mine came up with this amazing line of products called Aloha Elixir. [I use the] Crystal Clear [spray], which is for people who have anxiety.” JET SET…

The #MeToo movement has unearthed a new scandal at CBS, this time involving actress Eliza Dushku and Bull star Michael Weatherly. In August, the network hired two outside law firms to investigate sexual misconduct allegations against chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves, who stepped down in September after 12 women came forward against him. But the investigation also brought to light another case of alleged harassment, The New York Times reports. In 2017, Eliza, 37, had a guest arc on Bull and was reportedly on track to become a cast member. After her 50-year-old costar allegedly made inappropriate comments about a “rape van” and a threesome (he later defended his comments as adlibs and jokes), she confronted Weatherly — and was written off the show. The former Buffy star, 37, threatened…

Can four couples survive a Hawaiian vacation with 24 singles searching for love? Or will those singles become couples — and vice versa? That’s exactly what the USA revival of Temptation Island (Jan. 15 at 10 p.m.), which originally ran from 2001 to 2003 on Fox, will reveal. Original host Mark L. Walberg, who’s returning, gives Us an exclusive peek at what’s to come. Q: Why did you want the show to come back? When I heard that USA wanted to reboot it, I was just as surprised as many of you were. That said, I thought it was a format that people responded to originally and still talk about today. This show is a social experiment for the cast. I take their journey very seriously. I felt I could…

Combining the holidays and zombies in a musical may sound like a bloody bad idea, but Anna and the Apocalypse pulls it off! Ella Hunt, the film’s 20-year-old leading lady tells Us why the story, about a town that bands together to fight zombies, just works. Q: How did you tap into Anna’s emotions? There were a lot of times that I really related to Anna and the way she handled herself, how dependent she is on her friends, and her aspirations. Nobody has the experience of a zombie apocalypse, but I think everyone at some point in their lives has experienced some type of loss. Q: Was it tough for you to get the dancing down? I’m always the first to get up on the dance floor, but I’m…

When it comes to villains, Dick Cheney makes Darth Vader seem like a teddy bear. That’s the takeaway of this slick and blistering portrait, which will no doubt provoke a passionate audience reaction. Christian Bale disappears into the role of the man who barreled his way from Ivy League dropout to White House chief of staff to manipulative vice president during the George W. Bush administration. Writer/director Adam McKay never offers authentic insight into Cheney’s psyche, other than his vague desire to please his headstrong wife (Amy Adams), and if you’ve been paying attention to current events over the past 15 years, then the revelatory information about the Iraq War may come off like yesterday’s news. Nonetheless, there’s something fascinating, if not troubling, about a plainspoken bureaucrat who’s always the…

“It sounds crazy — there’s this guy who lives in the North Pole. He’s pretty attentive. He’s got a direct in-line to Jeff Bezos.”On how he explains Santa Claus to his 14-month-old MILES FISHER “I really hope I’m on Santa’s nice list, otherwise [I’ll assume] Santa must have been hacked and someone did something wrong.”AJA NAOMI KING “Hayes isn’t talking yet, so he has my favorite Santa’s list ever, which is just nothing.” On his 11-month-old son with Jessica Alba CASH WARREN “I had a boyfriend give me my dead dog’s baby teeth made into a necklace.” On the worst gift she ever received JANUARY JONES “Oh gosh, I just buy bigger clothes.”On how he stays fit during the holiday season CARSON KRESSLEY…

JENNIFER LAWRENCE SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT The fallout from last year’s Harvey Weinstein allegations continues to grow. An anonymous actress filed a lawsuit against the disgraced film producer Dec. 12, claiming that he sexually assaulted her numerous times between 2013 and 2015. The actress says that on one occasion, she sobbed as he forcibly performed oral sex on her. Afterward, she says, he told her, “I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is: She’s just won an Oscar.” HE SAID, SHE SAID In response, a rep for Weinstein, 66, said he never bragged about sleeping with the Hunger Games actress. But JLaw, tired of the lies, refused to remain silent. “My heart breaks for all the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein,” she told Us in a…

CHRISSY TEIGEN The model’s dad, Ron Teigen, got her the ultimate gift for her 33rd birthday on Nov. 30: a portrait of her face tattooed on his arm. Good luck topping that next year! MICHAEL JACKSON Paris Jackson, 20, keeps her late dad close to her with a tattoo of the artwork from his 1991 album Dangerous, which includes a pretty realistic depiction of his eyes. KRIS JENNER Rob Kardashian’s tattoo of his ex, Rita Ora, might not have aged well, but his ink dedicated to his famous mom will never fade. The 31-year-old also has a tribute to his late father, Robert Kardashian Sr. DRAKE & HIS DAD Like father, like son! After Drake, 32, got a tattoo of his father’s mug shot, Dennis Graham returned the favor with…

Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend of seven months, John Miller, “are stronger than ever,” a source tells Us. “They’re still spending a lot of time together and are solid and committed as a couple.” The Camping actress, 46, and CaliGroup CEO, 40, went on a romantic getaway the weekend after Thanksgiving, and Us previously reported that they planned another trip for over the Christmas holiday. The pair often spend the night together, cozying up at her house, says the insider, because “it’s easier to go unnoticed there.” Their families are growing close as well, and John’s daughter (who, like Jen’s 13-year-old, is named Violet) thinks it’s pretty cool that her dad is dating a movie star. The Peppermint actress recently visited her when she was sick, says the source, and…

In a Dec. 10 interview with Self, Sarah Hyland, 28, revealed that having “the best boyfriend ever,” Wells Adams, helps her cope with kidney disease, a debilitating illness that once led her to contemplate suicide. A year after the Modern Family star’s second kidney transplant, the Bachelorette alum, 34, is equally in awe of his love. “Sarah is the strongest woman I’ve ever met,” he tells Us. “I know Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman on film, but Sarah is the real-life version.”…

AMBER HEARD The Aquaman star hit Good Morning America in NYC on Dec. 5 rocking multibraids by mane man Jon Chapman. TESSA THOMPSON Long story: The Creed II lead turned heads wearing a down-to-there woven look at the film’s London premiere on Nov. 28. NICOLE KIDMAN At Sydney’s AACTA Awards on Dec. 5, the Boy Erased actress rocked the red carpet in a fishtailed mermaid style. DREAM WEAVING Seeking a quick coif that can go from cubicle to cocktails? The simple — yet mighty! — braid is a “festive way to create texture without any heat,” says Tessa Thompson’s glam guru Lacy Redway. Even better, braids work on every hair type. To bulk up and add grip to finer strands, Redway suggests running a dollop of moisturizing styling cream or…

In the midst of shooting one of the most popular shows on TV, Milo Ventimiglia took on a new role: Trey, the husband of Jennifer Lopez’s Maya in the film Second Act (Dec. 21). When Jen requested the This Is Us star, who’s a friend, he jumped at the chance. “She’s a very easygoing, normal human being who’s lovely to be around,” the 41-year-old tells Us. EASY CHEMISTRY Because the duo are friends, kicking up onscreen sparks wasn’t a problem. “We were finding the little nuances and little peaks and valleys of the relationship to make it feel real,” he says. “I found myself just listening to her and trying to pick up on things she was doing in the course of a scene that would inspire or inhibit a…

This love story was made for TV. After meeting on the set of Revenge in 2011, Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman tied the knot Dec. 15 in the Bahamas, Us can exclusively reveal. And their ceremony went decidedly more smoothly than the one their characters shared during season 3 of the ABC drama. During those nuptials, Josh’s character, Daniel, shot his bride (Emily’s character, Amanda) in the stomach after they said “I do.” At this wedding, the bride and groom were all smiles as they exited the church where they became husband and wife (above). Emily, 32, wore a custom boatneck gown from Lela Rose Bridal. The couple’s former Revenge costar Ashley Madekwe was among the guests, and she gushed on Instagram that she had “truly the best weekend” celebrating…

He’s aware of the term “sophomore slump,” but The Orville creator and star Seth MacFarlane plans to beat it! “In the back of your head, there’s always the scary thought of, ‘Oh, s**t — we used up all the stories.’ But I’m happy to say that this season is a big step up from the last,” he tells Us. BALANCING ACT While season 1 was admittedly a “tonal hybrid,” combining sci-fi drama with comedy, the Family Guy creator, 45, says the show has found its voice: “It’s now a space drama that shows realistic interactions that aren’t necessarily shown in the sci-fi genre, rather than a space comedy.” In fact, he says it’s the story more than the silly space humor that’s the most important component: “My barometer for whether…
