Celine Dion’s heart — and her show — will go on. After taking a year off from her Las Vegas residency to care for cancer-stricken husband René Angélil, the singer, 47, kicked off another 40-date run at Caesars Palace August 27. The move was at Angélil’s behest, explains a source: “He thrives seeing his wife on stage. It helps him to stay alive.” Dion admitted to USA Today that she was initially against returning, “but my biggest job is to tell my husband we’re fine. I’ll take care of our kids.” FINAL REFRAIN Her other priority: tending to her love of 27 years. The former manager, 73, diag nosed with throat cancer in 1999, is unable to speak and has been fed intravenously for two years. It’s tough for son…

“The smartest thing to do . . . if you’re deciding what to wear is always [to] feel like yourself.” KATE MARA “Something you learn when you grow up is that everybody who is the ‘worst dressed’ is actually not the worst dressed.” JOHN MAYER “I’ll meet some cool actress who only wears Helmut Lang and Vince, and I’m like, ‘Ugh! That looks amazing and chic and everything coordinates with everything.’ ” On having closet envy, MINDY KALING “I feel like I have good taste. I like to buy girls shoes and jewelry. I buy stupidly expensive shoes — I spend way more on my girlfriends than I do on myself.” ANSEL ELGORT “I don’t think there are any rules. That’s the fun thing about fashion.” NATALIE PORTMAN “When you see…

DAVE & ALISON Altar-Bound After more than three years of dating, Community alum Alison Brie and actor Dave Franco, 30, are engaged. “She is thrilled,” says a source close to the Sleeping With Other People star, 32, who flashed her one-of-a-kind Irene Neuwirth rose-cut diamond ring (inset) at her flick’s L.A. premiere August 24. It’s a natural step for the pair, who have lived together (with his two cats, Arturo and Harry) in L.A. since 2013.

Neil Patrick Harris can cross another item off his bucket list. “I want to be the next Ed Sullivan,” the four-time Emmy winner says. Now he’s getting his wish as the host of NBC’s Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris, a live weekly variety series (premiering September 15 at 10 p.m.). On the lineup: skits, stunts and musical performances. “It’s essentially showing audiences six or seven shows simultaneously,” raves the 42-year-old dad of twins Harper and Gideon, 4 (with husband David Burtka). He shares more. Q:Why do a variety show? There are singing-competition shows and there are dancing-competition shows already. I didn’t think there was room in the world for another version of that. Q: What can we expect from yours? I’m going to be pranking celebrities. . .…

When Kendra Wilkinson’s kids start to fuss, she waves her magic wand. “I carry a mini bottle of bubbles,” says the mom of Hank IV, 5, and Alijah, 15 months (with ex–football player husband Hank Baskett, 33). “Oh, my God, the miracle of bubbles. It’s like a party no matter where you are.” The L.A.-based star of We TV’s Kendra on Top (Fridays, 9 p.m.) takes Us to the bottom of her Punchcase satchel. PONY EXPRESS “I carry tons of hair ties because I have the thickest hair in the industry. It’s wild.

Selma’s Farm Boy Selma Blair doesn’t have to beg son Arthur, 4, to eat his greens. “I have a kale and basil garden,” the L.A.-based actress tells Us. “He likes to pick the kale and basil and help me make his food.” But her mini gardener (Dad is ex Jason Bleick) also loves his sweets. “He’s very into snow cones,” admits the 43-year-old. “Unfortunately!” Blair, who will play Kris Jenner in 2016’s American Crime Story, dished at a No Kid Hungry event in Beverly Hills.

Gisele Bündchen needs everything to look perfect. For more than two years, the model has dedicated herself to overseeing renovations at the 14,000-square-foot home she and husband Tom Brady purchased in Boston’s Brookline suburb. “She’s picked out every sconce, trimming and appliance,” says a Bündchen insider of the 5.2-acre spread, which will feature a yoga studio and a gym. And her particular taste has caused more than a few delays. “Gisele can’t stop adding details,” says the Bündchen insider. “She’ll see a banister at a hotel and call her interior designer. The house is still mostly a construction site, but it’s supposed to be nearly completed by October.” By then, the pair’s sixyear marriage could be finished as well. Behind their gorgeous appearance, a source says, the world’s highest-paid model,…

A little rain didn’t dampen their spirits. Cheering the MotoGP World Championship in Northampton, England, August 30 from the sidelines, Brad Pitt pointed out bikers to 7-year-old son Knox Jolie-Pitt. The actor, 51, who produced and narrates the MotoGP documentary Hitting the Apex (now out in the U.K.), later introduced the second grader to the film’s star — and winner of the race! — Italian Valentino Rossi. Though the rest of Pitt’s team (wife Angelina Jolie, 40, and kids Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 9, and Knox’s twin, Vivienne) was absent, it’s natural the owner of several motorcycles would share his love of the sport with Knox. As Jolie has admitted, “Knox is a lot like Brad, emotionally and physically.”…

SUNDAY 9/13 Project Greenlight The hunt for the next Spielberg overflows with juicy “creative differences” It’s been 10 years since Ben Affleck and Matt Damon — longtime buddies and Oscar-winning screenwriters of 1997’s Good Will Hunting — lorded over the last Project Greenlight. Yet their reality show, sort of America’s Next Top Movie Director, still captures the excitement and eye-rolling ego battles of filmmaking with, yes, cinematic polish. An added treat: The stars serve up some comforting ol’-pals banter (“The first Project Greenlight destroyed our friendship,” quips Affleck). More pertinent are the souped-up stakes. Whichever would-be auteur triumphs gets to direct a wild comedy — the story of a loser who accidentally weds a prostitute — produced by famed brothers Peter and Bobby Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber) for HBO.
