Gabrielle Union committed to four guys at her wedding to Dwyane Wade last August. Becoming a stepmom to Zaire, 13, and Zion, 8, the NBA pro’s sons with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, and foster mom to his nephew Dahveon Morris, 13, she says, “is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s taught me about unconditional love — it’s one thing to say it and another to practice it.” The Miami-based actress, 42, is the ambassador for Tylenol’s #HowWeFamily initiative, a video project documenting the many forms families take. “Mine may not look like everyone else’s,” says the star of BET’s drama Being Mary Jane (back next spring). “But it’s real.” She talks boys with Us.

Cloaked in controversy: Gisele Bündchen reportedly wore a burka to slip into Paris plastic-surgery center Clinique du Parc Monceau July 15. The garb is worn by some Muslim women to protect their modesty, but the model, 35, and sister Rafaela used it as a disguise. Says an onlooker of the stunt, which took place during the holy month of Ramadan, “People were turning because they looked so out of the ordinary.” And, perhaps, because they were breaking a French law. A ban, introduced in 2010, restricts people from covering their entire head in public. NEW LOOK The star, who vowed in 2008 to never get plastic surgery, was likely trying to save face. Per the New York Post, the mom of Benjamin, 5, and Vivian, 2 (with husband Tom Brady,…

CHRIS VS LIFETIME’S UNREAL To Chris Harrison, the Lifetime Bachelor satire UnReal is the most heinous show ever. He says the series has no right poking fun at the ABC love hunt he has hosted since 2002. “You can only do that when you are part of the vernacular,” Harrison, 44, said July 27. “It’s a sign of respect.” Not that he’s above taking a jab. “Nobody is watching,” he claims of the drama, which premiered to 815,000 viewers. “It is terrible.” GOOD DAY SACRAMENTO ANCHORS VS CARA For Cara Delevingne, Good Day Sacramento doesn’t deliver on its title. During a July 28 interview, coanchor Marianne McClary blasted the Paper Towns star, 23, for her subdued mood and biting quips. (The model joked she hadn’t read the John Green tome…

Growing up far from Hollywood in South Africa, Charlize Theron didn’t idolize ingenues. “I wanted to be Jack Nicholson in The Shining and Robert de Niro in Taxi Driver,” says the 40-year-old. “I was like, ‘Where are those roles for women?’” She found one in the thriller Dark Places (out August 7) as Libby Day, the lone survivor of a family massacre. Theron — who at 15 saw her mother kill her father in self-defense — was “blown away” with the script based on the Gillian Flynn bestseller. “I [couldn’t] stop thinking about it,” says the single mom of Jackson, 3.

GWEN & GAVIN Shocking Divorce Stefani and Rossdale file to end their marriage Gwen Stefani had no doubts when she filed for divorce from husband Gavin Rossdale August 3, citing irreconcilable differences. “The split has been in the works for a while,” says a source close to the couple, married nearly 13 years. “They were unhappy and sleeping in separate beds.” One problem: Rossdale, 49, “is a rock star, and he’s on the road all the time,” says a Stefani insider. The parents of Kingston, 9, Zuma, 6, and Apollo, 17 months, attempted to work things out when Stefani, 45, signed on to coach The Voice in 2014. “It helped their relationship because it kept Gwen working while Gavin was home playing Mr. Mom,” says another insider. “When he went…
