Curious George learns to share! The little prince, 2, arrived for his first (half) day at Westacre Montessori School nursery in Norfolk, England, January 6 with a piece of fruit in his back pack. Later, he and his 16 classmates would select snacks from a communal bowl, says a source. The insider says George “is confident around other children — there were no tears,” but his mom, Duchess Kate, 34, “couldn’t help but get emotional.” Dad’s First Day! JUSTIN BIEBER A Visit in Ruins It’s too late to say sorry to the Mayans. Justin Bieber was escorted out of an ancient Mayan fortress in Tulum, Mexico, January 7, after allegedly trying to climb off-limits ruins. “He hopped over the fence,” claims an onlooker of the singer, 21, who was with…

It’s pretty much a freefor-all floating around in my purse,” says the singer (her “2 On” reached No. 1 on the Billboard rhythmic chart in 2014). “But I clean it out pretty well. I get rid of all the receipts!” The single L.A. native — whose February album, Joyride, features the sultry new song “Player” — empties out her Joyrich backpack. CLEANING UP HER ACT “This crazy phone case says fresh on it. It’s in the shape of a bottle of Windex. Jeremy Scott [creative director of Moschino] sent it to me, and it’s a pretty good conversation starter.” HOMETOWN GIRL “My car key’s on a rainbow lanyard because it’s easy to spot, but my house keys are on an L.A. Lakers key chain. I have to rep my team!”…

Missi Pyle never gave up on motherhood. “It has been so close but so far away for so many years,” says the 43-year-old, who suffered several miscarriages before her 2012 divorce from Nat Geo host Casey Anderson. After a failed IVF attempt, the actress, now dating TV exec Josh Ross, turned to adoption, welcoming Zooey September 17. The voice of Gert on Fox’s animated comedy Bordertown (Sundays, 9:30 p.m.) opens up to Us. Q: Were you there for Zooey’s birth? I was sitting with the birth mom behind the sheet during her C-section. All of a sudden, I heard Zooey cry for the first time. Then they handed her to me. I couldn’t keep it together! Q: Had you bonded beforehand? I was nervous — the birth mom could always…

It had all the makings of a blockbuster. After months of hushhush meetings and communications via encrypted phones, Sean Penn flew to Mexico October 2 en route to a secret destination. He continued on in guarded convoys at 100 mph speeds and in radar-blocking planes to reach the jungle, where, surrounded by more than 100 cartel troops, he came face-to face with one of the most wanted men in the world: drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera. Instead of ending up on celluloid, though, this story went viral. Rolling Stone posted Penn’s 11,000-word account on its website January 9 — one day after Mexican forces recaptured the convicted murderer and drug trafficker, who had been on the lam since his second prison escape in July. “As has been said…

When comedian Whitney Cummings landed her HBO stand-up gig, she had to sit down. “I was excited for two minutes, and then I was terrified,” admits the star of the I’m Your Girlfriend special (January 23, 10 p.m.). To fine-tune her material about sex and relationships, the single Washington, D.C., native, 33, used Tinder. “I was like, I’m not going to fall in love, I just need to go out on a ton of dates to get jokes,” she says. The worse the experience, the better: “I’m grateful for bad dates — they paid for my house!” LAST LAUGH Getting dolled up for her nights out also helped her look the part on stage. “This is my first special where I had my hair down and wore heels and a…

ROSIE & JASON Promising Forever Despite her curve-hugging Atelier Versace gown, all eyes were on Rosie Huntington- Whiteley’s ring finger at the Golden Globes January 10. On the arm of her love of five years, Spy’s Jason Statham, 48, the model, 28, flashed a $350,000 5-carat round Neil Lane sparkler. “They are a traditional couple,” says a Statham source. “They wanted a long, old-fashioned courtship before committing to marriage.” Since the surprise proposal last year, they have not begun wedding planning, adds another insider: “They are very private, so it will surely be small.” MATTHEW&LEA He’s Ready to Propose!

For once in her life, Miley Cyrus was attempting to practice restraint. Just five days after she and ex Liam Hemsworth cuddled at Australia’s Falls Music & Arts Festival January 3, she tried to play it cool as they partied at the same pre– Golden Globe bash. He had stationed himself in the rooftop garden of West Hollywood’s Soho House, so she settled in one floor below. As the party — hosted by Chris Hemsworth’s and Cyrus’ agency, CAA — continued past midnight, however, she dragged her posse upstairs where they perched at a table just a few feet from the Hemsworths. Achingly close but not quite with her former love, Cyrus and her girlfriends debated leaving the fete altogether. They even trooped outside to plot an exit strategy near…

Born on Singleton Plantation in South Carolina, Viola Davis had no running water or indoor toilet. “We barely had shampoo,” the Golden Globe–nominated star of How to Get Away With Murder, 50, told Us while assembling kits of toothpaste and soap for people on the front lines of disaster as part of the Vaseline Healing Project in L.A. January 7. “I understand that simple things can really rescue you.” The mom of Genesis, 5, with husband Julius Tennon, 62, inspires Us. Q:What drew you to this initiative? Imagine that you don’t have soap, so you go to school not clean. You’re smart and want to participate, but you feel like an outsider. I know what that’s like. You feel trapped in shame. This is what the program is about. Q:…

Just Start Moving When basketballer turned cycling pro Holly Rilinger, 41, isn’t feeling her planned weights session, she hits the NYC streets. “Once I’m running or walking, I start to feel better,” she says. “Even if I get out there for 15 minutes, it might inspire me to go to the gym later.” Enlista Gym Squad Former model Joe Lazo, 30, seeks out pals with pictureperfect form. “If someone can squat more weight than you, hit him up and say, ‘Let’s do legs,’ because you’re going to learn,” says the star of the Bravo show (Sundays, 10 P.M.). “I have about seven gym buddies!” Make Fitnessa Job “If I have a workout scheduled, I’m going to make it, barring a gunshot wound,” jokes Barry’s Bootcamp’s Noah Neiman, 31.

Lauren Conrad is making magic again. On the heels of her soldout spring 2015 fashion collaboration with Disney, influenced by Minnie Mouse’s signature polka dots, the LC Lauren Conrad designer is launching a 20-piece follow-up capsule at Kohl’s on January 22. “Minnie is such an iconic character that has been a part of so many people’s childhoods,” Conrad, 29, tells Us. “She’s sweet, fun and loves anything girlie — what’s not to love?” GET ANIMATED Conrad incorporated daisy prints and ’60s silhouettes into tops and dresses ( ranging from $40 to $64) to create a retro vibe.
