DAX & KRISTEN They’re Just Like Us! Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, 38, are a totally normal couple. After their daughters, Lincoln, 5, and Delta, 3, go to bed, the pair like to Netflix and chill. Most nights, “there are two hours of mommy-daddy binge-watching time,” Shepard, 43, tells Us. “We fantasize about other people on TV.” Their favorite shows at the moment: Game of Thrones and Peaky Blinders. Of getting alone time, the dad notes, “I think we do a pretty good job.” DARYL & MEGHAN A Cool Wedding Trainor has one wish for Christmas this year: to say “I do” to her fiancé, Daryl Meghan Sabara, 26. “[I want to do it] in my backyard with lights everywhere,” the “No Excuses” singer (in L.A. June 14) tells Us…

Back to work! Eva Longoria isn’t used to being away from her 2-month-old son, Santiago. “I’ve been with him 24/7 since he was born,” she told Us at the L.A. premiere of her film Dog Days on Aug. 5. “I have my pump in my purse!” Now back in the swing of things, she’s giving a nod to her husband of two years, José Bastón, 50. “He’s been so amazing,” she says. “I don’t know how you do this alone.” But Santiago is more than worth the effort: “He’s delicious,” she says. “I want to eat him every day!”…

Cut to 1990s Montana. Teen Cameron Post (Chloë Grace Moretz) is caught making out with a female classmate in the back of a car, then is sent to a gay conversion program. “Think of yourself as a Christian, not as a homosexual,” one female advisor tells her. (Possibly?? The Sundance indie unreels as if it were filmed with the volume on low.) In the repressed setting, Cameron and her new friends find ways to bond, joke and help each other through the up-and-down-and-shocking circumstances. Considering its authentic subject matter, the good-hearted film doesn’t land with enough impact.…

“I’m my own thing.”On not categorizing himself as human, JADEN SMITH “We almost died on the side of a road when Apple Maps took us on a road… it wasn’t a road.”On her nightmare honeymoon with Ashton Kutcher, MILA KUNIS “You want to have a butt, then you have a gut.”On why she loves her “thicc” curves, RIHANNA “He was happier, I think, to be on Family Feud than at our wedding.”Recalling the time Kanye was on the celebrity version of the game show, KIM KARDASHIAN “The people who do it really easily annoy me. Yes, I’m talking to you Chris Hemsworth.”On staying fit, JOHN KRASINSKI…

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt continue the bitter battle over their kids. In the latest twist, a report swirled that Jolie, 43, was pushing her famed divorce attorney Laura Wasser to quit for going too soft on Pitt. While Jolie’s rep was quick to deny the rumor, a source close to Pitt, 54, says there was truth to it — but once it leaked, it was off the table. Not that his team would have let the move slide: “It was nothing but a stall tactic,” says the source, adding Jolie still wants full custody of Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10. HEAD-TO-HEAD And she’ll continue fighting for it. “She can’t see past her anger at Brad,” the source reveals. Meanwhile, another…

Nearly two weeks after her July 24 drug overdose, Demi Lovato is letting the world know she’s doing OK. “What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time,” the singer wrote in an Instagram message Aug. 5. “It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet.” After thanking her fans and the staff at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai hospital, Lovato, 25, concluded her note by saying she was on the road to recovery. “I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety,” wrote the star, who had been on a world tour. “The love you have all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out on the…

He may have swapped Cleveland for L.A., but LeBron James, 33, is leaving behind more than big stats: a public school for at-risk students funded by his foundation. On July 30, the I Promise School opened its doors to 240 third and fourth graders in the basketball star’s hometown of Akron, Ohio. James revealed he was once a troubled student who relied on mentors. “It’s a moment I’ll never forget,” he told ESPN of the opening, “and hopefully the kids… will never forget it, either.”…

Amanda Bynes is making a comeback. As she prepares for her return to TV later this year, the star — who’s graduating from California’s Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising this fall — has also been focusing on her fashion line, Vintage by A.B., launching spring 2019. “I’m constantly drawing ideas,” she says. Bynes, 32, opens up for Us. WRITING A LEGEND “My Montblanc Marilyn Monroe pen was given to me by a costar on the set of Hairspray. I keep it with me all the time.” JAM SESSION “I don’t care what anyone thinks, I still have an iPod. Right now, I listen to Post Malone.” COMING UP FLOWERS “I told my student advisor at FIDM that I love anything rose scented. The next time I saw her, she…

The fight between Spears and ex Federline rages on. Though she already gives the DJ $20,000 a month in child support, Federline, who has legal custody of their sons, has requested a $40,000 increase. But Britney’s dad refuses to pay — and now a judge has ruled that they’ll likely have to face off in court. “Jamie had signed off on a modest increase, but demanded a monthly accounting of how the money was being spent,” a source says, noting Federline has four other children: “It’s not Britney’s responsibility to pay for their care.” In the end, multimillionaire Spears — who, according to docs, shops at T.J. Maxx! — just wants the best for her boys. Adds a source, “They’re her world.”…

First comes love, then comes… a home! After looking at nearly 70 properties, Luyendyk, 36, and fiancée Lauren Burnham, 26, recently purchased a 2,607-square-foot pad in Arizona. “Buying a house is obviously another huge step in our relationship,” the race car driver (June 24) tells Us. “It was built this year and we can’t wait!” They’ll reach another milestone come January when they exchange vows in Maui. Says a source, “Things couldn’t be better between them. Their relationship is stronger than ever.”…

His lips were sealed. When Henry Golding landed the role of wealthy Nick in Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians, “I only told my dad because it was so under wraps,” says the British-Malaysian actor, 31. “I knew if I told my mom, she’d be chatting away with everyone in Malaysia!” Gossip travels even faster onscreen. In the film (out Aug. 15) — the first to boast an all-Asian cast in Hollywood since 1993’s Joy Luck Club — Nick brings his American girlfriend (Constance Wu) home to Singapore. There, she’s met by gold-digger accusations and the disapproval of his fearsome mom (Michelle Yeoh). The BBC host tells Us more. Q: This is your film debut. Were you nervous? Of course! I had grown up watching Michelle Yeoh. During preproduction, I was…

Lana Condor knows how to use her words. “When I have a lot of emotions, I’ll write,” the star, 21, says. “I write letters to my family, my boyfriend, anyone I’m trying to get my point across to.” It’s the same therapy used by her character Lara Jean. In the Netflix romcom To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, the 16-year-old pens love notes, which accidentally get sent to her crushes. Condor, dating Anthony de la Torre, shares more. Q: In high school, how were you similar to Lara Jean? I had hundreds of crushes! And our humor is similar. It’s understated. I don’t think people think I’m funny, but in my head I’m like, “I am!” But I’m a little more fiery. When she gets bullied, she just takes…

It could have been the perfect crime. In May 1990, teacher Pamela Smart, 22, manipulated her lover, 15-year-old Billy Flynn, into staging a robbery, then shooting her husband Gregg. Convicted, she is serving a life sentence. Now, 28 years on, those closest to the sensational case — including the prosecutor and Pamela’s former intern — are reexamining the mystery exclusively on Investigation Discovery’s three-part series Pamela Smart: An American Murder Mystery (premieres Aug. 19, 10 p.m.).…

KEVIN HART After renting out a small bar in NYC recently, the actor, 39, showed his gratitude to the servers by leaving a whopping 2,000 percent tip, says an insider: “He was so nice and spent the whole night talking to the bartenders.” CHRISSY TEIGEN Last October, an Ohio Outback Steakhouse waitress got the tip of a lifetime from the 32-year-old: $1,000! Of the Bloomin’ Onion Teigen ordered, the server said she joked, “You have to take this away from me, I am going to eat it all!” CRISTIANO RONALDO In order to keep his family comfortable — and hidden from prying lenses — on vacation in Greece this July, the soccer legend gave 10 lucky employees at the Costa Navarino resort €2,000 (or approximately $2,317) — each! AMY SCHUMER…

Jennifer Aniston is setting the record straight: She’s doing just fine following her split from estranged husband Justin Theroux. “With all due respect, I’m not heartbroken,” she told InStyle’s September issue. As for outrageous tabloid stories published in recent months, the actress called them “reckless assumptions” — especially the ones suggesting she’s selfish for not having children. “There is a pressure on women to be mothers, and if they are not, then they’re deemed damaged goods,” said the 49-year-old. “Maybe my purpose on this planet isn’t to procreate. Maybe I have other things I’m supposed to do?” Her two-and-a-half-year marriage to the actor, 46, wasn’t the only topic discussed. Aniston also reflected on her 10 years on Friends, which ended in 2004. “It really was the greatest job I’ve ever…

During the school year, Ashlee Simpson’s day begins at 7:04 a.m. “I don’t know why,” she admits. “I must’ve set my alarm there one day and I never changed it.” From there, she or husband Evan Ross, 29, get their daughter Jagger, 3, and her son Bronx, 9 (with ex Pete Wentz), ready for school. “We switch off,” she says of their parenting partnership, “which is so nice.” The singer, 33, fills Us in on the rest of her morning rituals. Q: What’s going on first thing when you get out of bed? I jump in the shower. Usually Jagger will hear me going in and she’ll join. Q: What’s for lunch? Bronx does lunch at school. For Jagger, lunch is a turkey sandwich and carrots with ranch dressing. Some…

Outside the church of St. Mary the Virgin in Frensham, England, August 4, Duchess Meghan waved to a crowd of well-wishers. This time around, she wasn’t the bride, but a wedding guest — and the birthday girl. As she turned 37 years old, the Duchess of Sussex accompanied her husband, and groomsman for the day, Prince Harry, to watch his prep school pal Charlie van Straubenzee say “I do” to Daisy Jenks. But even though the former Suits star spent her first birthday since joining the House of Windsor celebrating others, she felt the love from her new family, who wished her well across their social media channels (see box). BIRTHDAY TRIP Prince Harry didn’t let his wedding duties — a source tells Us he gave a speech! — get…

NICK & PRIYANKA Nick Jonas topped all other presents. While celebrating Priyanka Chopra’s 36th birthday in July, the “Jealous” singer proposed with a Tiffany & Co. sparkler — less than two months into dating! “She knew it would happen, but didn’t expect it to happen so quickly,” an insider reveals. “She was thrilled! Nick was the one who originally asked her out. He really loves her.” And she really appreciates his sophisticated taste. Though her fiancé is just 25, “Priyanka finds Nick so mature,” continues the source. “They have plans to get married as soon as possible. She wants to start a family.” Until then, the duo are enjoying their alone time. “Priyanka knows how to have fun, but there’s also a gravitas to her,” adds a second source. “The…

Spike Lee’s best venture in years is a provocative true story that illustrates how volatile race relations in the early 1970s remain relevant today. It’s both fly and flawed. In Colorado Springs, Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) becomes the first African-American man to serve in its police department. Determined to make a name for himself, the rookie sets out to expose the local branch of the Ku Klux Klan. He recruits a veteran officer (Adam Driver) to be the face of the operation, and together, the two infiltrate. Both characters are heroes, with Driver getting the much meatier role. Lee alters the film’s pulse by the minute, veering from impassioned anger during rallies to witty repartee in the police station. The constant change feels like a massive head rush. He…

No one is more surprised by the success of the Sharknado franchise than star Ian Ziering. The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time (SYFY, Aug. 19 at 8 p.m.) felt like coming “full circle,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 vet tells Us. “I think we’ve told a very tall tale, and it wraps up nicely. I’m so happy I was part of a project that has touched so many people in such a positive way. It brings families together.” FAMILIAR FACES As with every Sharknado film, the sixth features cameos by many famous faces, including his former costar Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott. “Anytime I get a chance to see my old castmates, it’s a party,” the 54-year-old said. It was strange, however, having Spelling, 45, and McDermott, 51, play…
