Fans were stunned: In the early hours of June 18, Justin Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor, N.Y., for driving while intoxicated. The singer, 43, was taken into custody and held overnight for his arraignment the next morning, where Timberlake’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., tells Us he was charged with one count of DWI for refusing a Breathalyzer and cited for two traffic violations. Though Timberlake’s wife, Jessica Biel — who was in NYC at the time filming The Better Sister — has yet to publicly address her husband’s arrest, multiple sources tell Us that the actress, 42, is “extremely” upset. “She was shocked to hear the news and… was really worried about him,” says an insider, adding that afterward, Timberlake told Biel that “he was barely drinking.” Per a source,…

JULY 26, 2023 Kelce revealed his attempt to give Swift his number at her July 8 show was thwarted. “[He] very adorably put me on blast on his podcast,” she later said.

JON’S INITIAL PITCH FAILED I was told, “You’ll never be on TV. You’re too old and not good-looking enough.” I said, “Only I can say no to me,” so I shot my own sizzle reel — and got four out of four offers. BLINK-AND-MISS-IT MOMENT If you look at an episode carefully, you’ll notice that after the remodel, very often, the barstools don’t match because I can’t get 60 of the same stools in 24 hours. HIS ARRIVAL IS KEPT A SURPRISE Sometimes I show up a day before [or] my team will tell them, “Oh, Jon’s not coming,” and the staff lets their hair down. Then, I walk in. I have to be sneaky to keep it real. A TELLTALE SIGN OF SUCCESS I know [if a bar will…

When did your interest in the Titanic begin? My interest started when the movie came out in 1997. I was in first grade and drew tons of pictures of the Ship. I became a teaching assistant for a Titanic course in college and little did I know that it was going to set me off on this wonderful journey where I’ve been able to research and study and grow a huge passion for Titanic. Why is it so important for you to teach Titanic history to your fourth graders? The story of Titanic is completely intergenerational and touches on so many different topics. At the heart of Titanic is this human connection point that can cause wonderful moments for students when they find their own personal connection to it. The…

Alicia Vikander was proud to highlight Katherine Parr’s life in Firebrand, a historical drama recounting her journey to becoming the wife of Henry VIII (Jude Law). “Women’s stories often disappear and are never heard,” the actress, 35, told Us at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere. “She was the first woman to publish books in English under her own name, which is extraordinary, [but] no one has given her any focus until now.” Law’s dramatic transformation into Henry VIII — which included growing out his beard and wearing a putrid perfume — was “quite gradual,” the actor, 51, told Us, noting that once they nailed the look, “it’s like I could find me in him.” Vikander agrees: “To see how [Jude] physically embodied him was pretty remarkable.”…

Motherhood came “naturally” to Bethenny Frankel despite her own complicated childhood. “We can say I’m breaking the chain and it’s because of the [upbringing] I had, but I don’t ask for advice on parenting,” Frankel, who stars as a frantic mom in the new Lifetime movie Danger in the Dorm, tells Us. “I had my daughter [Bryn, 14], clicked in, connected and felt like I knew where I was supposed to be. I’m confident and secure in it the way that I am in business.” Here, Frankel, 53, dishes on life with her teen. Q: How would you describe your relationship with Bryn?

KEVIN & KYRA Live & Learn After 35 years of marriage, Kevin Bacon is still discovering new things about his wife, Kyra Sedgwick. While the stars have both enjoyed super successful careers of their own, the Closer actress, 58, recently revealed there was an instance where she felt a sense of envy while visiting Bacon, 65, on set of his 2005 comedy, Beauty Shop. “I hadn’t worked for the entire year… and he was having the time of his life,” she recalled to Variety. “I remember going, ‘I’m jealous.’” Turns out her feelings were news to Bacon. “It’s great when you read an article about your wife and then you get some information,” he told Us at the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony on June 13, insisting she’d never told…

The secret is out! Nelly and Ashanti quietly tied the knot six months ago, Us can confirm. It’s a long-awaited happy ending for the couple, who famously dated on and off between 2003 and 2013 before rekindling their romance last April. “Never in a million years did I think we would be here,” Ashanti told ET on June 18. “Ten years ago — maybe yes — but after our breakup, I didn’t even think we’d ever have a conversation again.” Nelly, 49, and Ashanti, 43, wed on Dec. 27 in St. Louis, just weeks after Us broke the news that they’re expecting their first child together. “We both are so passionate… about building [a] family,” she says of their relationship this time around. “We are so, so aligned.”…

Over the course of the past 12 months, Travis Kelce won one Super Bowl, landed a hosting gig on the upcoming Prime Video game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? and became the NFL’s highest-paid tight end. Taylor Swift shattered records with her highly successful Eras Tour, took home the Grammy Award for Album of the Year (her fourth!) and officially became a card-carrying member of the billionaires club. The two powerhouses also fell in love, spectacularly and publicly. Their story is straight out of a Hollywood rom-com: On July 8, 2023, Kelce, 34, attended Swift’s show at Arrowhead Stadium with the hopes of giving her his phone number. He recounted his disappointment over not being able to deliver his digits (via a handmade friendship bracelet) two weeks later…

It’s been 25 years since David and Victoria Beckham said “I do” at the Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. In that time, they welcomed four children (Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12), became a global brand, weathered a cheating scandal and maintained equally successful careers — she as a Spice Girl turned fashion designer, he as a world champion soccer player (who currently co-owns Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami team). Behind the glitz, glamour and matching outfits, David, 49, and Victoria, 50, have revealed themselves to be far more relatable and down-to-earth than previously believed, both on social media (where she’s trolled him over his Legos collection and he’s playfully called her out for being “dramatic” following a morning workout) and in the 2023 Netflix docuseries, Beckham, which…

EVA LONGORIA They met through Longoria’s ex, Tony Parker. “She’s extremely loyal,” Longoria gushed of Victoria. SNOOP DOGG “We love the same things,” says David’s longtime pal. “We love to work hard. We’re family men.” THE SPICE GIRLS Mel B revealed Victoria and her bandmates stay in touch with a WhatsApp chat group. MARC ANTHONY David bonded with the singer (and Cruz’s godfather!) while playing for Real Madrid. “Marc is family,” he’s said. CHARLOTTE TILBURY The British fashion and beauty moguls have been tight for over 25 years. TOM CRUISE Tom (who busted out some breakdance moves at Victoria’s 50th!) threw the pair a star-studded welcome party when they moved to L.A. in 2007. GARY NEVILLE David is still close with his former Manchester United teammate, who served as best…

Filming Horizon: An American Saga (Chapter 1 is in theaters now; Chapter 2 arrives Aug. 16) was a meaningful experience for Jena Malone. “For me, going back to that wild frontier time has been very healing and inspiring,” the actress, 39, tells Us. “The more I learn about women in particular of that time, it feels like parts of me that have been wanting to be heard.” Here, Malone tells Us more about the Western epic. Q: What can you share about your character, Ellen? To be a woman at that time was a very interesting thing that’s hard for modern women to understand: not being able to own property or traverse independently. So much of our existence was built on the back of a man, and she’s unique in…

1. My favorite country to visit is Italy, where I proposed to my wife. We got engaged in Taormina. 2. My favorite meal is chicken Parmesan with penne marinara pasta. As an Italian/Irish American man, it’s either Italian food or meat and potatoes for me. 3. I’m a big fan of the great Anthony Bourdain. I was always amazed by how he blended his passions: travel, food, creative writing and exploring cultures. 4. The best way to spend an hour by myself is in prayer, reflection, grounding my spirit. 5. The best meal I cook is brunch. My omelet game is strong, as are my home fried potatoes. 6. During the making of 16 Candles and The Breakfast Club, I’d make [director] John Hughes laugh by imitating Richard Pryor’s characters…
