Keep an eye on Gwen Stefani’s ring finger! The former No Doubt front-woman and her love of three years, Blake Shelton, “are going to be announcing their engagement very soon,” a source tells Us. On The Ellen DeGeneres Show in April, Gwen admitted she thinks about marrying the 42-year-old country star “all the time,” but the source explains she wanted to take things slow for the sake of her sons Kingston, 12, Zuma, 10, and Apollo, 4, who watched her messy divorce from their dad, Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale, in 2015. “Blake has always wanted to marry Gwen, but she’s always been extremely cautious because she has three kids to be mindful of.” When they do head down the aisle, expect that Gwen’s boys “will be a very big part…

Kim Kardashian is used to attention, but not this kind! Her work on prison reform has inspired inmates across the country to “flood her with requests for assistance,” a source tells Us. The reality star, 38, first enlisted her own lawyers in 2017 to help with the cases of two women sentenced to life: Alice Johnson (pictured), a nonviolent drug offender, and Cyntoia Brown, who was convicted of killing a man who paid her for sex when she was 16. Johnson’s sentence was commuted in June after Kim met with the president about her case. Kim’s next victory came on Jan. 7, when Brown was granted clemency.…

HILARY DUFF On screen since childhood, the Younger star said she feels “empowered by what my body can do” — but that her late teen years were focused on food and “wanting to fit into this image of a girl who isn’t me.” KESHA Receiving treatment for anorexia was a turning point for the Grammy nominee, who’s said that she started “slowly, slowly starving myself” when she first felt the pressure of fame. DEMI LOVATO The pop star has been open about struggling with bulimia since she was 8, and recently revealed that food “is still the biggest challenge in my life… When I do have moments when I slip up, I feel very ashamed.” PORTIA DE ROSSI The Arrested Development alum first struggled with bulimia as a child model,…

Audiences love a good mystery! That’s clear by the success of Fox’s latest competition series, The Masked Singer, which features performances by disguised celebrities. “I’m always genuinely shocked when they do the reveal,” host Nick Cannon tells Us. “The talent are very slick with how they present themselves.” Here, Nick, as well as judges Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger give Us a look behind the curtain. ABOVE AND BEYOND Before a celebrity is revealed each week — NFL stud Antonio Brown and comedian Tommy Chong have already been unmasked — Fox takes extreme measures to keep their identities secret. “Not only are the contestants in masks but their managers, agents and publicists are all in masks too, because the judges may know them,” says Ken, 49. He adds that,…

Rosario’s Teenage Dream Rosario Dawson was always certain she was going to adopt an older child. “I remember [when] I was 5 years old,” the single mom to Lola, 16, recalls, “I came up with that very, very clearly: that I wanted to adopt, and I wanted to adopt older.” Now, since welcoming Lola into her family in 2014, the actress, 39, opens up about parenting a teenager to Us. Q: What was it like adjusting? One of the most difficult things about adopting an older child is that you miss out on those younger years. Q: Do you cherish time with her? If you get your child at 12, it really does go [so fast]. And so it’s alarming. I’m selfish with time. I want her to be able…

Mario Batali and his family have permanently relocated to their Lake Michigan vacation home since sexual assault allegations against him surfaced in 2017, and a source tells Us the chef, 58, has made a 180. Says the source, “Years ago, Mario was sort of snooty and unfriendly to locals.” Now he’s “close with the local chefs, farmers, sommeliers and other people in the food business. He holds doors and stops to talk with people.” Another development: He’s also “lost a ton of weight.”…

She may write love letters in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, but in real life, Lana Condor carries those written to her by boyfriend Anthony De La Torre. “If I’m feeling sad, I’ll read them,” says the star of Syfy’s Deadly Class (premieres Jan. 16 at 10 P.M.). “They make me feel better.” Lana, 21, opens up for Us. FELINE FANCY “I’m embarrassed to even say my wallet is a $2 Hello Kitty wallet. I probably got it on the side of the street in New York. It’s so beaten up.” LEGEND IN THE MAKING “I have a little yellow gnome. My parents gave it to me in kindergarten because I believed in fairies and all that mystical stuff, so it reminds me of my family.” A PIZZA…

FRIDAY 1/18 Glass Kevin (James McAvoy) has more than 20 different personalities, including the vicious Beast. Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) controls people with his mind. David Dunn (Bruce Willis) has extraordinary stamina. Yet in M. Night Shyamalan’s sequel to Split and Unbreakable, the men fall victim to the most feared cinematic force of all: the underwhelming, unengaging story. The characters land in a psychiatric ward under the care of a doctor (Sarah Paulson) who’s fascinated by their delusions of grandeur and desperately tries to convince them they’re not actually superhuman. Mr. Glass, however, has a secret agenda — and takes his sweet time to spell it out. For all the lip service paid here to the wonders of comic books, M. Night forgets that it’s action and crisp narrative…

He put a ring on it! Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger announced their engagement on Instagram Jan. 14. “Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I’m thrilled to be marrying you,” Chris captioned a picture of the couple embracing (below). “Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go!” BEST WISHES Before he popped the question, the Avengers star, 39, asked permission from Katherine’s parents, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger. “Her family knew it was happening,” a source tells Us, which explains why her brother Patrick Schwarzenegger blushed when asked how he liked his sister’s boyfriend a day before the news broke. “He’s really great,” replied the model, 25. Even Chris’ ex-wife, Anna Faris (they split in 2017 and share son Jack, 6), showed support, commenting on their…

I mean that both literally and figuratively,” the Offerman Woodshop founder, 48, says about his passion for woodworking. ERYKAH BADU The singer, 47, became a certified doula in 2011. “I don’t charge,” she says. “I just enjoy being the welcoming committee.” The gig earned her the nickname Erykah Badoula.

This season on The Bachelor, Colton Underwood hopes to show America a different side of himself. In the past, when he was on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, “you guys never really got to see the lighthearted or the funny or the goofy or the weird side of me,” the former NFL star, 26, tells Us. Time will tell if viewers see Colton in a new light by the time he hands out the final rose, but he’s already making quite an impression on the ladies! Before the first group date, contestant Nicole gushed to Us that it was Colton’s fun personality that won her over. “Even though he seems so perfect and put together, [he has] this dry sense of humor,” says the Miami native, 25. “He’s witty,”…

She’s a working mum-to-be! Kensington Palace announced Duchess Meghan’s new role as a patron of four charities on Jan. 10. Two of her new gigs, the National Theatre and the Association of Commonwealth Universities, were passed on to her from her grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth II. The remaining two are with animal welfare charity Mayhew and an organization that helps unemployed and vulnerable women called Smart Works. COUNTDOWN TO BABY! It was while visiting women at Smart Works that the former Suits actress, who is due in late April, debuted her first actual maternity look, a chic black dress from Hatch (inset). Days later, she opted for a more colorful ensemble while visiting the town of Birkenhead, U.K., with Prince Harry. There, the 37-year-old told well-wishers that she and her husband,…

On Jan. 6, Lady Gaga glided up the steps of the Beverly Hilton theater, trailed by a sumptuous train and billowing folds of periwinkle silk taffeta, to collect her Golden Globe for best original song. The songwriting leading lady of A Star Is Born had shed her pop art-speriment persona (meat dress, any-one?) — if only for a while — to assume full starlet status; she’d officially gone Holly wood. But instead of spending the next few hours schmoozing alongside A-listers at a flurry of industry parties, Gaga kicked off her 7-inch stilettos and cuddled up in bed with a bowl of Fruity Pebbles — as if to announce that she wouldn’t be playing by Hollywood’s rules; and that in the meantime, once the couture gown hit the floor, she’d…

She’s all about getting “schmoney,” but when Cardi B dines at Philippe Chow she’s focused on a different kind of green. “She always makes a point to say hello, and that gives me the cue to go straight into my kitchen and start preparing her favorite dish, green prawns,” executive chef Philippe Chow tells Us of the rapper, 26. To whip up these prawns at home, he recommends skipping the olive oil and instead opting for an oil with “a high smoking point,” like peanut or vegetable. Green Prawns SERVES 4 1/lb spinach1 lb extra-large shrimp, deveined and butterflied1 tsp tempura powder1/cup vegetable oil1 tsp salt1 tsp flour6 oz chicken stock⅓ red bell pepper, cut into small pieces1large carrot, chopped1 handful cashews1 handful water chestnuts3 oz mushrooms 1 Blend spinach…
