Babies and furbabies unite: “Mom life; the best chapter yet,” gushed Olivia Culpo, sharing a photo of her 5-month-old daughter, Colette, perched on her lap while her husband, NFL star Christian McCaffrey, doted on their OG baby, toy goldendoodle Oliver Sprinkles. It’s especially sweet since the model admitted she cried “every day” over the pup after giving birth to Colette, worried she wouldn’t “be able to care for Oliver the same way.” Luckily, her dog-mom guilt arc has a happy ending: “Little did I know everything would be fine — and both my babies would be best friends.” Warning: this level of cuteness may cause spontaneous squealing. They Take Parental Power Naps! Jerry Ferrara sat down for some shut-eye outside the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique during a family visit to Disneyland…

The entertainment industry is reeling after the unthinkable deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner. The couple’s daughter, Romy, found them stabbed in their L.A. home on Dec. 14, and less than six hours later, their son Nick was arrested. On Dec. 16, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced that he was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, which carry a maximum sentence of life without parole or the death penalty. Nick is being held without bail and has retained criminal defense attorney Alan Jackson. “We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time,” a family spokesperson said. A source tells Us that Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, attended Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party with Nick, 32, the…

John Mayer’s playboy days are behind him. After striking up a romance with Tik-Toker Kat Stickler, a source tells Us the singer — whose exes include Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry — is “at a point in his life where he is ready to settle down and looking to seriously date.” Mayer, 48, and Stickler, 31, have been seeing each other for only a couple of months, but the source shares that their relationship is “getting serious.” Case in point: “They spent Thanksgiving weekend together,” according to the source, “and Kat has been introduced to some of John’s friends.” (The new couple were spotted walking through NYC with Mayer’s BFF Andy Cohen in November.) Although the musician is ready to go steady, Stickler is taking things…

Ever come across someone on TikTok who looks like a celebrity — a beauty influencer who’s Bella Hadid’s doppelgänger, say, or a sports reporter resembling Matthew McConaughey? More often than not, they’re fun coincidences. But lately, stars are utilizing social media to adopt alter egos, oftentimes as a (massively successful) marketing tactic to promote their newest project. When Saint Laurent Cowboy surfaced on TikTok in April 2024 with an explicit intention to “build community,” fans immediately recognized the face behind the account as musician Role Model, a.k.a. Tucker Pillsbury. Yet, the TikToker — who is very obviously Pillsbury, tattoos don’t lie — continued to post videos hating on Role Model while simultaneously hyping his own music. And it worked. To date, Saint Laurent Cowboy has racked up more than half…

On Dec. 3, King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, hosted a lavish State Banquet for Germany’s president at Buckingham Palace, but it was Prince William and Princess Kate who commanded the most attention. Kate, dazzling in the Strathmore Rose Tiara, the largest and most dramatic headpiece she’s ever worn, sat on one side of President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, marking the third time she’s been seated next to a visiting Head of State at a banquet since July. William was across from them beside the president’s wife, signaling the couple’s elevated status within The Firm. Their prominence at the glittering affair — and the palace’s careful staging of it — was intentional. With Charles still receiving treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer, “The message they are sending out is…

There are more than 8 billion people on the planet, in all different shapes and colors. But scrolling through curated Insta feeds or watching the streaming show du jour, it can feel like everyone looks the same. And that’s a major bummer. “When only a narrow type of beauty is consistently represented, society begins to view anything outside that ‘standard’ as undesirable,” University of Florida advertising professor Robyn Goodman, Ph.D., tells Us. Seeing an A-lister buck those beauty tropes can be a huge morale boost for the rest of us, says Virgie Tovar, a body image expert and host of the GLP-1 Truth Serum podcast. “Watching someone who looks like you portrayed with confidence and glamour tells you that you belong exactly as you are.” That’s easier said than…

In Father Mother Sister Brother (in theaters Dec. 24), director Jim Jarmusch explores the inner workings of disconnected families through three distinct stories, each centered on adult children reckoning with long-standing emotional distance. For Cate Blanchett and Vicky Krieps, the film’s “Mother” chapter became an intimate study of how siblings, no matter how grown, fall back into old roles when under a parent’s eye. Set in Dublin, the vignette follows sisters Tim (Blanchett) and Lilith (Krieps) as they reunite with their mother (Charlotte Rampling) for tea — a ritualized meeting that happens just once a year at the suggestion of her therapist. Despite its surface politeness, the annual visit becomes a pressure cooker where resentment is communicated through baited silences and passive-aggressive remarks. “There’s a real gentle power…

‘Play Me’ This heart-melter comes early in Song Sung Blue, a true story of Wisconsinites who found each other later in life and started a Neil Diamond cover band. You know the chorus: “You are the sun/I am the moon/You are the words/I am the tune/Play me.” Diamond’s baritone ballad works even better as harmonies by lovers-to-be. ‘Crunchy Granola Suite’ This Diamond B-side sounds a bit polished for the cover band’s first rehearsal — no complaints! ‘I Am… I Said’ Hugh Jackman delivers a revealing karaoke take on a complex, unusually personal song for Diamond. ‘I’ve Been This Way Before’ The solo Kate Hudson blows Us away with her passionate delivery.…

THE MOMENT: With the Truly Typical Teen Lizzie McGuire, Disney Channel Gave Us a New BFF 25 Years Ago While Nickelodeon launched star after star in the late ’90s — Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All), Larisa Oleynik (The Secret World of Alex Mack), Amanda Bynes (The Amanda Show) — Disney Channel was playing catch-up. But on Jan. 12, 2001, it had a real contender thanks to a kind and kinda clumsy 13-year-old named Lizzie McGuire. As played by the equally appealing Hilary Duff, she charmed audiences, who related to her awkward adventures. “She really didn’t have a ‘spot.’ She wasn’t popular, and she wasn’t a dork,” Duff recalled of the character in 2018. “Girls needed someone like that to look up to. And that is really who I…

CARY ELWES The Princess Bride actor took to Instagram to share a black- and white photo of Rob’s director’s chair next to his on set, simply writing, “No words…” KATHY BATES The Misery star said she was “horrified” by the news. “[Rob] changed the course of my life. Michele was a gifted photographer. She shot my beautiful photos for the Misery campaign. My heart breaks for them both,” she told Deadline.

He added, “Rest in peace, Rob. You always stood by me.” JAMIE LEE CURTIS The Oscar winner told Us that she and her husband, Christopher Guest, who cowrote and…

Meghan King and Jim Edmonds have worked out an agreement three weeks after Us revealed the Real Housewives of Orange County alum had temporarily lost custody of their children. Two sources confirm the former MLB player, 55, will have daughter Aspen, 9, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 7, in his care “full-time” in Tennessee, where he lives with his new wife. One insider says King, 41, will only get the kids for “a few weeks every summer” after being the subject of a Child Protective Services investigation. The former Bravolebrity and Edmonds, who were married from 2014 to 2021, hashed out the deal “before a judge had to decide for them,” per the insider. While King has yet to publicly address the news, her friend and former costar Tamra Judge…

Mario Lopez has been working out most of his life, but at the age of 52, it’s starting to catch up to him. “I’ve been getting injured consistently the last few years,” the Access Hollywood host tells Us. Although Lopez likes to play golf, he admittedly gravitates toward “very physical, explosive sports” like jujitsu and boxing, which Dr. John Layke of the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group says “destroyed many of his joints” over time. Ultimately, the Saved by the Bell alum was forced to undergo multiple operations to repair his shoulders and bicep tendons, leaving him with limited mobility. Now, the dad of three turned to Proactive Longevity for therapeutic plasma exchange and stem cell therapy. “These treatments will allow me to strengthen my joints and continue doing what…

SEPTEMBER Harry and Charles made some headway when they met for tea at Clarence House in London for…

“Noodles and butter/Noodles and butter/You are my favorite treat/Noodles and butter/There is no other/Nothing else that I want to eat.” Despite what parents or anyone in earshot may think, repetition is a good thing in music aimed at children. Also good, according to the Music Box documentary Happy and You Know It (HBO and HBO Max, Dec. 25, 9 p.m.): encouraging interaction, like hand-clapping. You don’t have to have kids to find the subject interesting, especially when big bucks are involved. Johnny Only believed his specific 2011 arrangement of the public-domain tune “Baby Shark” was plagiarized for Pinkfong’s 2016 megahit — but a court ruled against him in August. Even the artists’ origin stories intrigue: “Noodles and Butter” singer Caspar Babypants charted in the ’90s rock band The Presidents…

Despite a rare ringless photo of Gwen Stefani making the rounds online, fans have nothing to worry about: an insider tells Us the “Hollaback Girl” singer and Blake Shelton’s marriage is “as strong as ever.” The couple — who wed in 2021 after meeting as coaches on The Voice in 2014 — “are devoted to each other,” says the insider. “[Their marriage] is based on family and faith. It’s rooted in the things that matter to them both.” While their careers take them all over the world, home base for Stefani, 56, and Shelton, 49, is their ranch in Oklahoma, where they’re raising kids Kingston, 19, Zuma, 17, and Apollo, 11, whom Stefani shares with ex Gavin Rossdale. “From the beginning of their relationship, they dealt with the obstacle of…

That’s amore! Conor McGregor tied the knot with his fiancée, Dee Devlin, at the Chiesa di Santo Stefano degli Abissini in Vatican City on Dec. 12. “Our family has a deep commitment to our faith, and there is no place more holy than the Vatican,” the UFC champion, 37, tells Us, adding that he’s “grateful” the historic church “approved” the couple’s “first choice” for their wedding venue. The new Mr. and Mrs. McGregor spared no expense to make the day perfect for their 130 guests. “The instruction was: Make it over the top!” the MMA fighter shares. “The costs equated to millions of euros… If I had a budget, I can tell you I would have broken that!” McGregor says he flew in “lots of family” from his native Ireland…

JANUARY 6, 2014 Us broke the news that Dean McDermott cheated on Tori Spelling with 28-year-old Emily Goodhand at a Toronto hotel on Dec. 6. The couple documented their road to reconciliation on True Tori before separating in 2023. Months after Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth called off their engagement, she had a fleeting fling with his friend Kellan Lutz. “They’ve been hooking up,” a source spilled. A&E suspended Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson on Dec. 18 after he made homophobic comments in a GQ interview.

Prep First Alysa — who tanned Alix Earle throughout the latest season of Dancing With the Stars — says to “exfoliate and shave [or wax] 24 hours before you self-tan” to prevent unevenness. Tan Ahead Scheduling your session 24 to 48 hours before your event “allows the color to fully develop and look its most natural.” Reach Your Back “Use a spray formula instead of just a mousse — it distributes more evenly at a distance.” Avoid Streaks Before tanning, “apply a thin layer of oil-free lotion to dry zones like wrists, elbows, knees, hands and feet first, so the tanner doesn’t grab too deeply in those [tricky spots],” she says. No Time to Tan? Accentuate areas like the collarbones and shoulders for a sexy “lifted, sculpted look” with a…

Blanchett didn’t mean to create a holiday tradition with the drama Carol, but the 2014 release — about a 1950s divorcée’s forbidden love affair with Rooney Mara’s shy shopgirl — is still fueling annual queer holiday watch parties, complete with poached eggs, martinis and, of course, creamed spinach. “I hope they appreciate how difficult it is to not get creamed spinach in your teeth,” Blanchett tells Us with a laugh. “It was one of the greatest challenges of my life, to eat that and still look vaguely attractive!” Jokes aside, she’s still floored by the film’s legacy. “At the time we made it, there were no [queer] films that had a positive, romantic, mainstream story that they could celebrate and be seen and shout loud,” she says. “We had no…

Imagine finding out your mind has been hacked, giving strangers access to your eyes and ears at all times. Not so fraught if you happen to be a dogwalker, but Simu Liu’s Alexander Hale works for “The Orphanage,” a hush-hush organization that monitors all U.S. clandestine agencies. It’s a cool concept for a thriller, but prepare to be challenged by The Copenhagen Test (Peacock, Dec. 27). “What was happening on the page was so complex,” the actor, 36, tells Us of the series. “It required a lot of choreography and collaboration and unity.” He leaned on costars such as Scream’s Melissa Barrera, 35, a.k.a. love interest Michelle. She tells Us: “I like to know what I’m going to do and plan. That wasn’t the case because we didn’t have all the…

(She descends to the stage on a massive crescent moon!) She tells Us about the show, titled A Starry Night, and more. Have you had any “pinch me” moments with this project? When I first stepped into the theater, that was a pinch-me moment. It’s grand and opulent but, at the same time, so intimate. When you’re in that room with everyone, you’re all connected, you’re all feeling the love. It’s a really strong and beautiful energy in…
