“You don’t want to be called Boo Boo Kitty. It’s almost like ‘bitch’ without saying it.” On Cookie Lyon’s oft-used verbal jab from Empire, TARAJI P. HENSON “You say things over text you would never say to someone’s face. So the medium of communication we’re using is kind of making us s--ttier people.” AZIZ ANSARI “If Dan Stevens is the beast in beauty and the beast then honestly where does that leave anyone” Tweeting about the dashing actor’s new role, MINDY KALING “Women’s clutches are too small. I open my purse, and with some hydraulic force, a tampon shoots 12 feet into the air.” On an embarrassing moment at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, KELLY RIPA “Meant to write an email that said ‘Hey, hope you’re doing well,’ but accidentally hit send…

As Bobbi Kristina Brown lies in a coma, her father’s family continues feuding with her boyfriend, Nick Gordon. Two days after he taped a sit-down with Dr. Phil McGraw March 5, Bobbi’s aunt Leolah Brown ranted on Facebook that Gordon “is under investigation for attempted murder” for the January 31 incident that left Whitney Houston’s only child, 22, facedown in a bathtub. She went on to call out the TV shrink for providing him “a platform to spin this situation.” Police have not confirmed that Gordon, 25, is a suspect, but for now, he faces another battle. Post interview, he re-portedly entered rehab for substance abuse. Too little, too late for the Browns, adds the source: “Nobody is happy with him.”…

Parenthood is twice as nice for Zoë Saldana and husband Marco Perego. “Our days now are filled with #twin action!” the actress posted March 5 with a picture of Perego squeezing through the door carrying 3-month-olds Cy and Bowie. The Italian artist is equally hands-on at night, says a Saldana pal. “He is always getting up with the boys so Zoë can sleep.” The pair both 36, also take advantage of kid-free time, holding hands at the March 7 Moët & Chandon bash for Roger Federer. “The second Zoë finished an interview, she turned to Marco and planted a big kiss on his mouth,” says a witness. But date nights don’t mean late nights. As Saldana recently ad mitted, “All we want is to return home to be with our…

She Handled It At a Scandal PaleyFest panel March 8, Kerry Washington, 38, shut down a question about how the cast dealt with the “real-life scandal” involving former costar Columbus Short’s legal troubles. “Everyone who’s in this family is in this family, whether you’re on this show or not,” she snapped.

HOW SHE STYLES IT L.A. stylist Anita Patrickson says the secret to a midi skirt is length: “Make sure it hits in the most flattering part of your leg, whether it’s in the middle or the thinnest part of your calf.” The 5-foot-7 pro, 33 (pictured), dressed down an eyelet Zara design — slung on her hip — with a denim top from Bella Dahl, which she suggests to clients Portia de Rossi (far left) and Julianne Hough (left). Neutral sandals elongated her legs but still suited her “beachy, slouchy” vibe. Later, she raised the skirt by fastening hook and eyes sewn into both sides of its waistline, and slipped on an elegant Oscar de la Renta bustier. “Black and white,” she says, “is a classic combination that’s never going…

Lily James didn’t intend to wear Cinderella’s crown. The Downton Abbey star, 25, first auditioned to play an ugly stepsister in the reboot of the 1950 Disney classic (out March 13). “I was up for the off-center, funny part,” she explains. The casting director, however, suggested she try out for the title role. “I remember being in, like, a toilet, reading the scene. I only had 15 minutes to prepare,” she says. “But when I went in, it felt effortless. I definitely wanted to be Ella.” The British actress (dating actor Matt Smith, 32) recounts her fairy tale to Us. Q: Ever dream of playing a princess? I was totally one of those girls. My grandma made me little outfits, and I had plastic slippers that I wore around the…

The force of gravity was with Harrison Ford March 5. Just 20 seconds after taking off from Santa Monica Airport, his vintage plane’s single engine failed, hurtling the licensed pilot, 72, and his craft onto neighboring Penmar Golf Course. When EMTs arrived, “Harrison’s eyes were closed and there was blood pouring from his head,” eyewitness Michael Boutefu tells Us. “He was conscious, but very still. He seemed to be in complete shock.” The Star Wars actor was rushed to L.A.’s UCLA Medical Center, where his wife of four years, Calista Flockhart, 50, and son Ben, 47, stayed by his side most of the night. “Dad is ok,” Ben tweeted that night. “Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is.” And he has his savvy…

So when the reality star arrived at the city’s Grand Hotel for Balmain’s March 5 presentation with husband Kanye West by her side, she topped her all-black outfit with a dramatic platinum-dyed ’do. “I was like, ‘Why not have a fun new look?’ ” she told Us.

KELLY CLARKSON Kelly Clarkson is stronger than her body shamers. After British journalist Katie Hopkins snidely asked on Twitter if the Grammy winner, 32, had eaten “all her backing singers,” and later dubbed her a “chunky monkey,” Clarkson had a pitch- perfect retort. “She doesn’t know me. I’m awesome!” the mom of River, 9 months, told Heat. “I’m happy and I’m confident . . . . Since having a family, I don’t seek out any other acceptance.”…
