TIM & FAITH Even Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are impressed with their lasting romance. “It’s an accomplishment,” McGraw, 49, told Us of his 20-year marriage with his fellow singer, also 49. “In our business, it’s probably like 80 years. It’s like I look at it as dog years!” MORGAN & KELSEA Morgan Evans eased Kelsea Ballerini’s nerves at Nashville’s CMAs on November 2.

OLIVIA MUNN Hubba-hubba! The X-Men: Apocalypse actress, 36, tweeted during Bill Murray’s March 2015 Jimmy Kimmel Live spot that the 6-foot-2 star, 66, “has really nice legs — tanned, lean and toned. This is not a joke.” JOHN STAMOS Another Garfield in the White House? Native Chicagoan Murray, who surprised a Cubs devotee with a Game 6 ticket on November 1, has Stamos’ vote.

I will go wherever he tells me.” NORMAN REEDUS In 2015, Reedus, 47, admired the Saturday Night Live vet’s penchant for…

Michael Bublé and wife Luisana Lopilato are devastated by their 3-year-old son Noah’s cancer diagnosis. “He had been sick, but when they took him to a doctor and found out, it was a complete shock,” says a source close to the Grammy winner, who also has son Elias, 9 months, with the actress, 29. “But they’re hopeful.” Now they’re focusing on family. “Luisana and I have put our careers on hold,” Bublé wrote on Facebook November 4, shortly after he was given the news. “We will win this battle.” NEXT STEPS Though the pair split their time between her native Argentina and his home in Vancouver, British Columbia, Noah is receiving treatment in the United States. “They immediately got him the best physicians,” adds the insider. “They are doing…

1. THE SELLOUT Paul Beatty Recommended by a pal, this is “a biting satire on race in America,” raves Trevor Noah. “It’s laugh-out-loud funny.” 2. HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE J. K. Rowling “My first love is fantasy,” he says, citing the series’ first as a favorite. “Give me a story in a magical world with dragons and witches, and I’m hooked.” 3. BORN STANDING UP Steve Martin The Daily Show host encourages his peers to pick up this memoir: “It captures brilliantly what it is that stand-up comedians do and who we are.” 4. DREAMS FROM MY FATHER Barack Obama The president’s childhood tales “really resonated” with Noah. “Struggling with being mixed race in a very blackand-white world . . . I saw my own story in what…

Playing an author/reluctant badass in True Memoirs of an International Assassin, Kevin James got off to a rough start. A month of fight choreography and gun training left him “so banged up, I wasn’t sure how I would get through it,” the actor, 51, says of his Netflix “romp” (streaming November 11). “I wish it was all stunt guys, to be honest.” The dad of four (with actress Steffiana de la Cruz, 42) pulls no punches with Us. Q: Is this reminiscent of your favorite action movies? It’s like a collage of them —Predator, Rambo. There were moments that felt like, “This is awesome.” I could go out there and be bigger than life. You’ve got to hang on to that inner hero. Q: You’re also doing Kevin Can Wait, your…

“That’s like a hockey player playing hockey at their wedding.” On why she’d rather not choreograph her wedding dance with NHL player fiancé Brooks Laich, JULIANNE HOUGH “She’s like, ‘There’s nothing more we can do these last two days. . . . So I’m gonna enjoy this bag of Cheetos.’” On Beyoncé cheating on her diet before their 2016 Super Bowl performance, BRUNO MARS “It’s 3 in the morning and you go in and you’re sort of gently furious and then you get a little smile . . . and it’s totally worth it.” On sleepless nights with 5-month-old daughter Iris, EDDIE REDMAYNE “I just ate a full box of Eggo waffles.

Shout it fromThe Hills! Audrina Patridge exchanged vows with her partner of eight years, pro BMX biker Corey Bohan, 34, in what she calls a “super-romantic” wedding at a Hawaiian botanical garden in front of 100 friends and family November 5. The 31-year-old reality star and new mom tells Us she wanted a “bohemian feel,” which came to life via details such as her figure-hugging lace Pallas Couture gown and asymmetrical bouquet. As she gushes, “It was the perfect mix of the two of us.”…

Jennifer Lawrence could have been filming a rom-com. On November 2, the Oscar winner, 26, and Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky, 47, strolled through NYC, stopping every so often to share a kiss. (Three days earlier they were snapped sharing a lollipop.) But this was no movie. “They’re dating,” a Lawrence source says of the pair, who connected while filming an untitled drama last summer. For the actress, who split from Coldplay frontman ChrisMartin, 39, in August 2015, the relationship is “easy,” adds the source. “They get along really well.” OFFICE ROMANCE Mixing business with pleasure is Lawrence’s “thing,” notes the source. “That’s how she gets close to guys.” (She dated X-Men costa Nicholas Hoult, 26 for five years.) Now marriage is very much on her mind. She…

Who’s the “Better Man”? Famous for her breakup songs (hi, “Dear John” Mayer!), Taylor Swift penned Little Big Town’s new No. 1 hit. Fans have speculated Calvin Harris, who split from Swift, 26, in Jun the guy behind lines such as “the permanent damage you did to me.” (The DJ bashed her in a July Twitter tirade.) But To Hiddleston, Swift’s most recent ex, is off the hook: A source tells Us she sent the song to the country band in July — smack in the middle of their threemonth romance.…

It’s a girl! Since September, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have kept all details about their second baby to themselves. But during a November 2 appearance on Conan, the actor revealed they had welcomed another daughter. “It’s a lot of estrogen,” Reynolds, 40, quipped to host Conan O’Brien. “It feels like an American Girl doll took a s‑‑t on my life.” (The parents didn’t even share big sister James’ birth date until a year after her December 16, 2014, arrival.) The Shallows actress poked fun at her husband of four years for blabbing their baby news on national TV. Reynolds “got himself in big trouble,” she wrote on Instagram that night. But he knew how to make it up to her. “Not only did he come home with my true…

OPENS FRIDAY 11/11 Arrival The aliens have landed. Here’s the part where people run, screaming for their lives, right? This thriller not only subverts expectations in brilliant ways, it explores deeply felt themes of loss and love. Amy Adams shines as Louise, a linguistics professor summoned to Montana to try to communicate with two of the ETs. In order to learn what these invaders want, she must decipher a language that resembles Rorschach splotches. Soon, Louise and a scientist (Jeremy Renner) develop rapport with the aliens, even dubbing them “Abbott and Costello.” But while cracking the code, she unlocks fragmented memories about herself and her recently deceased daughter. If the visions seem nonsensical, that’s the point: The answers aren’t supposed to come easy — and when it all does piece…

1. I’m a big sucker for Christmastime in NYC. 2. I support the nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety. 3. I was a bartender at The Lion King on Broadway. 4. The best advice I ever got was from [producer] Michael Patrick King, who said to always “follow the green lights” when it comes to career or creative decisions. 5. I’m very allergic to cats. 6. But my first pet as a child was a cat I named Jovi, because I was a huge Bon Jovi fan. 7. My favorite color is blue. 8. I mutter “Oh, God” throughout the day. You can guess whether that’s because I’m spiritual or disgusted. 9. I have a Late Show With David Letterman hat that I will never throw away. 10. My tweet during…

For Italia Ricci, size matters. “I carry the biggest possible tote,” says the Richmond Hill, Ontario, native, who plays a senior political adviser on ABC drama Designated Survivor (Wednesdays, 10 p.m.). “Nothing is easy to find. I could probably fit inside of it.” Ricci, 30, wed to actor Robbie Amell, 28, spills out her Louis Vuitton purse. CLEAN EATS “I usually carry dillpickle sunflower seeds. I mostly carry snacks like that. I mean, pizza isn’t so conducive to staying in the bottom of a purse.” HANGING BY A THREAD “I have a sewing kit that I have used a lot, actually. I’ve had buddies lose buttons at events and I’m like, ‘I got this!’ ” OUT OF SIGHT “My friends always make fun of my cheapo plastic reading glasses…

An ugly split just got uglier. On November 4, Brad Pitt requested joint legal and physical custody of the six kids he shares with estranged wife Angelina Jolie in response to the 41-year-old’s September 19 filing for sole physical custody. L.A.-area divorce attorney Christopher C. Melcher says the move is unusual for high-profile cases. “Normally the parties will settle, then file a response,” he notes. “It could signal negotiations are breaking down.” An insider admits it was a last resort for the actor, 52: “He didn’t want to go down this road. But he’ll fight for his kids.” FAR FROM OVER Though a courtroom showdown over Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-yearold twins Knox and Vivienne looms, it won’t begin until the Los Angeles County Department…

(Though, the source adds, she won’t score an invite to Queen Elizabeth II’s Christmas fete.) But first she has a date with PrinceWilliam and Duchess Kate. The source says “they’ll likely meet” in late November. “Kate is keen to see what Meghan is all about.”…

OPENS FRIDAY 11/11 Billy Lynn’s Long HalftimeWalk Thanks to staggeringly immersive technology, this drama stands out like no other in recent memory. Too bad the experiment doesn’t quite work. The titular character (played by newcomer Joe Alwyn) is an Iraq War soldier who’s the guest of honor at a big Thanksgiving football game. Strangers, friends and his sister (Kristen Stewart) shower Billy with attention, but he’s not comfortable in the hero role. Director Ang Lee (Life of Pi) uses 4K HD effects in hopes that audiences will understand what he’s endured on the battlefield. But the action is so hyperreal that it looks staged and phony. And the story itself is more tired than a college student with mono. When the film ultimately lands on Netflix, it will not…

The dowager countess would surely cast a withering glare inMichelle Dockery’s direction. For her first role after six seasons as aristocratic Lady Mary on Downton Abbey, the native Brit, 34, plays a crack-smoking American con artist who delivers lines like “My French lover? Huge c--k” on the TNT drama Good Behavior (premieres November 15, 9 p.m.). “She enjoys this reckless sense of danger,” Dockery says of her character Letty, who aids, abets and beds hit man Javier (Argentinian heartthrob Juan Diego Botto, 41). The single actress talks to Us about this “messed-up love story.” TAKE TWO Dockery and Botto quickly bonded on the Wilmington, North Carolina, set when they realized they share the same silly sense of humor. “Sometimes on camera we have to cut because we’re in fits of…
