Athletics over arts! Taye Diggs and his ex Idina Menzel may be world-famous performers, but their son, Walker, 11, isn’t interested in following in their footsteps. “When he’s not playing basketball, he’s throwing a football,” the actor, 49, says of his active tween. “He gets to watch us do what we do, and we get to watch him do what we never could.” Here, Diggs tells Us about their father-son bond. Q: Do you play sports with Walker? We run football routes. He’s teaching me every day. Q: Does he watch your projects? Lately it’s been All American. There are adult themes, but he’s mature enough to understand. He gets uncomfortable when there are kissing scenes. He hasn’t seen me [do that] yet. Q: How are you enjoying quarantine together?…

RIHANNA & A$AP ROCKY They Found Love! Rihanna and A$AP Rocky may have started the year off as friends, but they’ll be ringing in 2021 as a couple! “A$AP has been very into Rihanna for years,” says an insider. “He was always the instigator, but she would brush off his advances and kept him in the friend zone.” Though sources told Us back in February that the two were “having fun,” the insider insists that Rihanna and A$AP, both 32, didn’t make it official until this past summer: “They finally hooked up and have been together ever since.” LILY & CHARLIE On Cloud Nine Quarantine has been a breeze for Lily Collins and her newly minted fiancé, Charlie McDowell.

Talk about having the last laugh. When a conservative pundit attacked Harry Styles on Twitter for his December Vogue cover — in which the “Watermelon Sugar” singer wears a lacy Gucci dress under a tuxedo jacket — saying, “There is no society that can survive without strong men,” the star clapped back with a photo on Instagram featuring him eating a banana and sporting a frilly baby blue pantsuit. “Bring back manly men,” Styles wrote cheekily. His message was clear: At 26, the former One Direction member won’t be bullied into conforming to anyone else’s ideas of who he should be. “To not wear [something] because it’s females’ clothing, you shut off a whole world of great clothes,” he said in a recent interview with Variety, where he also opened…

1 Initially, Carey didn’t want to record the song — or a Christmas album — because she thought she was too young! Back in 1994, holiday music was mostly released by older artists and has-beens. 2 Carey and her cowriter, Walter Afanasieff, penned the yuletide chart-topper in just 15 minutes. “That’s why it’s so popular,” Afanasieff later explained, “because it’s so simple!” 3 Her now-ex Tommy Mottola played Santa Claus in the music video. 4 The songstress recorded the hit in the middle of the summer — and had Christmas trees and lights brought into the studio to get her into the holiday spirit. Clearly it worked! 5 She’s made over $60 million in royalties on the song since it was released in 1994.…

There haven’t been many reasons to smile this year. But that changes now, thanks to this big-hearted musical. Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, James Corden and Andrew Rannells play self-obsessed Broadway actors desperate for good publicity. They decide to descend on a conservative Indiana town to help a young girl (Jo Ellen Pellman) denied the opportunity to take her girlfriend to the prom. In trying to save the day, they save their souls. Directed by Ryan Murphy, the flick is full of razzle-dazzle — Kidman’s stand-out number is titled “Zazz,” for crying out loud! During a time when describing a film as “crowd-pleasing” is technically inaccurate, surely this will still earn applause from afar. MARA REINSTEIN, MARAMOVIES.COM…

“Legends of the Fall Brad Pitt, that’s what I’m going for.” Joking that he’s growing his hair out to resemble the actor’s character in the 1994 flick JUSTIN BIEBER “She’s one of the few actresses I haven’t fallen out with.” On his love for former costar Renée Zellweger HUGH GRANT “I already see the leaves as orange instead of gray, realized the sky is indeed blue and not black and horn honks on my forced morning walks only bring me to my knees half the time.” On recovering from her September pregnancy loss CHRISSY TEIGEN “I was on my knee for, like, 20 minutes. I finally said, ‘Look, I’m gonna throw my hip out.’” On proposing to his now-wife, Amal, in 2014 GEORGE CLOONEY “I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I…

Will Ryan Lochte’s two kids end up being swimmers like their dad? The 36-year-old Olympian tells Us that so far Caiden, 3, and Liv, 17 months, both love the pool! “My daughter thinks she can swim. She’s our water baby,” explains Lochte. “We always have to watch her around the deck because she’ll just jump in and start to sink!” The 12-time Olympic medalist became a dad in 2017. And while he’s “very happy” with his brood, Lochte admits that the decision to expand his family further is completely up to his wife, model Kayla Rae Reid, 29. “We wanted a boy and then a girl afterwards and it worked out in our favor. But if [Kayla] wants more, we’re going to have more,” says the athlete, adding that he…

If there’s one thing Taylor Swift loves, it’s leaving an Easter egg in a song. That’s why fans couldn’t help but speculate that she and Joe Alwyn were engaged following online reports that she may have tweaked the lyrics to “Love Song” — from “Baby, just say, ‘Yes’” to “Baby, just said, ‘Yes’” — while re-recording the 2008 hit.  …READY FOR IT? While it may have been a false alarm (the lyrics weren’t changed!), multiple sources tell Us that an engagement is imminent for the ultra-private pair. As previously reported, the Brit, 29, and the singer, who turns 31 on Dec. 13, have “talked marriage” and babies: “She’s very excited about that chapter of her life when the timing is right.” Which, according to an insider, is very soon! When…

TAYLOR Styles dated Swift in late 2012 and early 2013. “He wanted to play the scene,” says a source, “and they just didn’t gel.” TESS Styles and food blogger Ward were together for a few months before she reportedly dumped him for an ex in the summer of 2017. KENDALL He and Jenner were linked in 2013. “He wasn’t as into it as she was,” the source says. “He let her down gently.” CAMILLE The “Cherry” singer said some of the songs on his album Fine Line were inspired by Rowe, whom he romanced from 2017 to 2018.…

Drew Barrymore times two should add up to good-times galore. But this is a zany romp minus any real laughs. For her first big-screen role in five years, she takes on washed-up movie star Candy Black and her needy stand-in, Paula. When Candy is busted for tax evasion and sent to rehab, she hires her look-a-like to serve in her place. (Barrymore uses prosthetics to alter her appearance.) Though she is appealing as always, Barrymore’s hamstrung by a listless screenplay that needed two more polishes. MR…

“We’re done,” Alfonso Ribeiro tells Us of having more kids with wife Angela Unkrich. “Not even close to thinking about another one!” In fact, the actor, 49 — who’s dad to A.J., 7, Anders, 5, Ava, 19 months, and Sienna, 17 (from a previous relationship) — reveals a vasectomy is in his future. “We’re tearing the warehouse down,” he adds. “Not my choice.”…

Ex-royal Prince Harry seems to be blending in easily with us common folk! While out shopping for the perfect Christmas tree for his and Meghan Markle’s new Montecito, Calif., mansion, the former military pilot was reportedly recently mistaken for a salesman by an excited little boy. According to an employee at the store, the “stoked” kiddo “asked if he worked here not knowing who that is.” As Us reported in November, Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39, as well as their 19-month-old son, Archie, will not be flying back to England for the holiday. The royal family “was so looking forward to catching up with [them] again,” said the source, but they’re going to be “making the most of things regardless.”…

Gwen Stefani may finally be getting the Catholic wedding of her dreams. After more than a year of desperately trying to get her marriage to ex-husband Gavin Rossdale annulled — in order for the church to recognize her upcoming nuptials to Blake Shelton — the 51-year-old singer is one step closer to having her petition granted by the pope, a source tells Us. “It hasn’t been formally made, yet, but all indications are [that] Gwen will have her Catholic wedding to Blake.” And on the country music star’s Oklahoma property, no less! According to the source, Shelton, 44, had a chapel constructed for his fiancée on the grounds of his ranch. “They are going to get married in [it],” says the source, noting that the happy affair will likely be…

IN JOHN TRAVOLTA Travolta credits the church with helping him through his son Jett’s tragic 2009 death. ELISABETH MOSS The actress says many of Scientology’s “concepts are grossly misunderstood.” DANNY MASTERSON In 2017, the lifelong member was fired from The Ranch amid sexual assault accusations. JULIETTE LEWIS “I am no longer stuck in the… pit of despair,” she says on the church’s website.

It’s not everyday that a procedural drama stays on the air for more than 10 years. However, Bridget Moynahan has starred as assistant district attorney Erin Reagan on Blue Bloods since its 2010 premiere. “Being able to connect with these characters through that family dinner scene is what keeps everyone coming back,” she says of the show’s success. Here, Moynahan talks season 11 with Us. Q: How will Blue Bloods tackle current events like Covid-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement? We’re going to touch upon some things within a storyline, but we’re not expressing Covid at all with masks or anything. The Reagans have really strict codes, values and morals, so I feel like the show has addressed those all along. Q: Will Jack be back? I’d love that.…
