Alexandre Vauthier CANDICE SWANEPOEL vs CHRISSY TEIGEN Both ladies were equally glowing in this LBD. Chrissy went the glam route with a blingy necklace and loose locks, while model Candice’s clear strap heels added a trendy touch. Max Mara PRIYANKA CHOPRA vs JENNIFER LOPEZ Looks like Priyanka forgot it’s all about proportions when sporting an oversize topper: With wide-leg pants, she’s being swallowed by fabric! J. Lo made sure to highlight her curves by cinching the waist. Ralph Lauren CAMILLA BELLE vs JENNIFER HUDSON While we love both lengths of this dress, we wish J-Hud had opted for a metallic or nude shoe to play up the glossy fabric — like Camilla’s pick — because black heels weren’t as complementary.

Replenishing the good will? Just two months after finalizing their divorce, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck reunited for a coparenting therapy session in Brentwood, Calif., on Dec. 4. “They may not be romantically linked anymore, but Ben and Jen will always be in each other’s lives, and that’s why they’re still in counseling,” explains a source close to the former couple, who share daughters Violet, 13, and Seraphina, 9, and 6-year-old son Samuel. “They’re doing it for the kids mostly, but it also helps them communicate better and co-parent more efficiently.” They also talk about “creating healthy boundaries,” the source notes, which is particularly important now that the 46-year-old Alias actress has gotten so serious with burger chain CEO John Miller that they spent Thanksgiving together. Jen and Ben, 46,…

When Lady Gaga, Jennifer Garner and Patricia Clarkson took to the stage to declare their love for Bradley Cooper at the 32nd American Cinematheque Awards in Beverly Hills on Nov. 29, the actual love of his life, supermodel fiancée Irina Shayk, was nowhere to be found! The actor, 43, “was wiping away tears from his eyes during the speeches,” says a source. “It was clearly one of the most important nights of his career.” So where was the 32-year-old Russian stunner, with whom he shares daughter Lea, 20 months? “Most of the stars there brought their other halves, except for Bradley,” says the source. “Rumors are swirling that the couple are splitting.”…

Breaking free? Vanessa Hudgens has been dating boyfriend Austin Butler for almost seven years — and though their romance has outlasted most Hollywood marriages, there are whispers that the 29-year-old actress may never make it down the aisle with the Humans hottie, 27. “Vanessa is more interested in focusing on her career than settling down with Austin,” a source tells Life & Style. The High School Musical alum recently admitted she’s in no rush to tie the knot, and “she isn’t dropping hints or pushing him to propose,” notes the source. “Whether Vanessa and Austin are in it for the long haul is questionable. Starting a family is the last thing on her mind and marriage still isn’t in the cards.”…

This is one cold case that’s heating up! Nearly a decade ago, Susan Powell vanished without a trace from her home in West Valley City, Utah. Though local police long suspected that her husband, Josh, knew more than he was letting on, the 28-year-old mother of two has never been found, and what happened to her remained a mystery — until now. Susan Powell: An ID Murder Mystery dives deep into a twisted tale of dysfunction, obsession and jealousy. Featuring all-new and exclusive interviews, the two-hour special, premiering Dec. 12 at 9/8c on Investigation Discovery, culminates in an explosive conclusion that no one could have seen coming.…
