Sisterhood 2.0 Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars and pals Amber Tamblyn and Blake Lively are passing down their friendship to the next generation. Amber’s daughter Marlow, 2, with David Cross, and Blake’s girls, James, 4, and Inez, 2, with Ryan Reynolds, have frequent playdates — and the moms have an ulterior motive: spending time together. Says Amber: “I think that’s the way all girlfriends are.” The Era of Ignition author tells Us more about motherhood. What are the girls’ playdates like? They’re filled with a lot of delicious cream-filled doughnuts and surprise things. How about when it’s just you and Marlow? We go to the playground a lot — superboring mom-and-daughter stuff. Does David help out? My husband supports me by letting me sleep in the morning. It seems…

OJANI NOA Their 11-month marriage ended in 1998, but they battled over his personal videos with her until 2009, when she finally stopped him from releasing them. SEAN “DIDDY” COMBS “It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful,” she later said of her 1999–2001 romance with the rapper. CRIS JUDD Seven months after splitting from Diddy, she wed the backup dancer, whom she met on set of her “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” video. They split nine months later. BEN AFFLECK “There was genuine love” with the A-lister, she’s said, but their high-profile romance lasted only a year and a half, ending when they called off their engagement in 2004. MARC ANTHONY Less than six months after announcing it was over with Ben, she wed her…

Demi Lovato is taking time to heal. The 26-year-old and Henri Levy “are broken up,” after four months together, a source confirms to Us, also revealing that the “Warrior” singer, who spent three months in rehab after suffering an overdose in July 2018, recently checked herself in to a facility for two weeks. “It was her decision,” says the source, noting that she “at no point relapsed,” but was merely being proactive about her recovery.…

Lorraine Toussaint always needs a proper cup of tea. That’s why the Trinidadian-American actress, 58, carries PG Tips tea and a can of evaporated milk. “I’m sort of a Brit,” jokes the star of NBC’s The Village (premieres March 19 at 10 p.m.). The mom of Samara, 14 (with Micah Zane), pours out her bag for Us. SWEET MEMENTO “I carry a very old and beaten-up script binder that Burt Reynolds gave me many years ago when we were shooting [1989’s] Breaking In. It’s my lucky script binder! He was such a mentor of mine.” SLOW BURN “I’m reading the new Deborah Harkness novel Time’s Convert. Oh my God, I’m reading it so slowly [because] I don’t want it to end.” GUARDIAN ANGEL “My wallet is very unusual. It’s an…

Taylor’s new philosophy when it comes to worrying about her weight? Shake it off. “Joe has given Taylor confidence in who she is,” a source tells Us. “She’s learned to accept herself and her body and wants to be a role model for other women, and to encourage them to quit body-shaming themselves.” In her recent Elle essay, Taylor explains, “I learned to stop hating every ounce of fat on my body. I worked hard to retrain my brain that a little extra weight means more curves, shinier hair and more energy.”…

HER BOYFRIEND Britney has been seeing Sam since the model turned fitness entrepreneur appeared in her 2016 “Slumber Party” video. “Sam adores Britney,” says a source, “and continues to treat her like a queen.” MOM & DAD “Britney always had a very strong bond with Lynne,” says the source. “Her dad became her rock later in life.” She was angry at the start of her conservatorship, says an insider, “but over time that changed. Britney and her dad have become very close.” BRIT’S BOYS Preston and Jayden “are just normal boys — not pretentious and stuck-up like many Hollywood kids,” says the source. “They show a lot of respect for and absolutely adore their mother.” Adds the insider: “They’re the lights of her life.”…

1. I love walking for miles around London — and any city — to get a feel for where I am. 2. Mirror writing [writing in reverse] is a hidden talent of mine. I thought it was normal, but it’s apparently unusual. Leonardo da Vinci did it! 3. The most consistently influential person in my life is my brother [music producer Rollo Armstrong]. We’ve always worked together. 4. “Nothing Compares 2U” [written by Prince and made famous by Sinéad O’Connor] came out when I broke up with my first boyfriend. I remember wishing I could write a song that good to describe what I was feeling. 5. If I wasn’t making music, I’d want to learn to cook. 6. My first concert was Pat Metheny and Santana together, with my…

JUSTIN & HAILEY Family Matters Uncle Billy Baldwin has his niece Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) and her husband Justin Bieber’s back. “I love them as a couple,” the Northern Rescue star, 56, reveals to Us. But he does wish the model, 22, and singer, 25, hadn’t rushed to wed in September after just three months together. “I would’ve loved to see them get married if they waited a couple more years.” Now he just hopes they’ll wait to have kids so they can “globe-trot and have fun!” BEN & KENDALL Love & Basketball Ben Simmons and Kendall Jenner are having a ball. “They’ve gotten very serious and are into each other,” a source tells Us. But don’t expect wedding news just yet. “They’re not serious to the point where they’d…

She got her happily ever after. Lea Michele and her love of two years, Zandy Reich, said “I do” in Napa, Calif., on March 9, with Glee creator Ryan Murphy officiating; guests included Lea’s costars from the hit show, including Darren Criss, Jonathan Groff and Becca Tobin. Lea was devastated when her on- and offscreen love, Glee star Cory Monteith, died from a heroin and alcohol overdose in 2013. But the Scream Queens actress, 32, found love again with the clothing company executive, 36 — and she knew it was for keeps when Ryan approved of Zandy. “Yeah, my parents… friends, whatever,” Lea’s said. “But Ryan Murphy, it’s a done deal — it sealed the deal.”…

When Bethenny Frankel took the witness stand against her ex Jason Hoppy on March 4, the Real Housewives of New York City star, 48, revealed disturbing details about why she’s seeking sole custody of their daughter, Bryn, 8. The exes agreed to joint custody in June 2016 after a four-year divorce battle, but the Skinnygirl founder said the pharmaceutical rep, also 48, became more abusive than ever after the ink on their agreement was dry. “The conflict was day-in and day-out torture,” she said. “Emotional, mental, phone, FaceTime, being followed, being harassed, being verbally attacked…” She also addressed the incident that led to Jason’s arrest for harassment and stalking in 2017. After she sent him a cease and desist letter, she said, he approached her and late boyfriend Dennis Shields…

In the wake of Luke Perry’s shocking death on March 4, the costars who knew him best continue to pay tribute to the beloved Beverly Hills, 90210 actor. “He was one of the kindest and most humble human beings I’ve ever known,” said Tori Spelling, who remained close with the 52-year-old up until his death following a massive stroke. Tiffani Thiessen recalled a caring, supportive soul who “welcomed me on my very first day at 90210 with open arms… He took me under his wing and made me feel at home.” GIVING SPIRIT The young cast of CW’s Riverdale also warmly remembered Luke as both a father figure and a mentor. “He took care of us all,” said Camila Mendes, adding that Luke “took pleasure in offering us his guidance…

Very few film genres are as satisfying as a relentlessly tense and twisty thriller, and Triple Frontier is a case in point. A muted Ben Affleck gets top billing as a retired down-on-his-luck Special Forces operative cajoled into reuniting with his former cohorts (Oscar Isaac and Charlie Hunnam) for a private job. The mission? Head to South America to take down a drug lord and swipe his moolah. Though they’re all pros, their meticulous plan takes a hit with each tick tock of the clock. And by the time they’re flying over the Andes mountains in a tiny plane while a bag of cash dangles from a rope, all you can do is cover your eyes and brace for impact. Much of the movie plays like a throwback dudes-with-guns ’80s…

There are no more tear-drops on her guitar. She no longer gets drunk on jealousy. And she certainly isn’t lying on the cold, hard ground. Ahead of her 30th birthday later this year, Taylor Swift recently shared with Elle 30 life lessons she’s learned. And — spoiler alert! — the woman known for rushing into romance and then writing songs about her exes wants fans to know those days are long gone. “Before you jump in headfirst, maybe, I don’t know… get to know someone!” she advises. “What I know now to be more valuable about a person isn’t their charming routine upon meeting them… but the layers of a person you discover in time. Are they honest, self-aware and slyly funny at the moments you least expect it? Do…

Britney Spears is proof that transformation is possible. After a 2008 mental breakdown threatened to derail her career and destroy her family, she could have become a sad footnote in pop culture history. Instead, she battled back, becoming a great mom to her two sons, grossing nearly $138 million during her four-year Las Vegas residency (which wrapped in late 2017) and finding love with fitness trainer and model Sam Asghari, 25. “Britney,” says the source, “is in a much, much, much better place than she was 10 years ago.” But Us can reveal that behind the scenes, the pop star is dealing with major uncertainty and private heartbreak. Britney’s dad, Jamie, 66 — who’s in charge of a legal conservatorship that’s been in place since after her 2008 breakdown —…

Though most of the recent Empire drama has been off screen (following the controversy around star Jussie Smollett), the return of season 5 is here (Wednesdays, 9 p.m.) to pick up the drama on screen. Tiana (played by Serayah) and Hakeem (Bry shere Y. Gray) have “evolved,” the actress, 23, tells Us, and that doesn’t mean it’s over. “The sparks never really end between them,” she says. “They have kids now, so there’s obviously going to be an attachment.” The duo have figured out how to coparent, but she says there’s much more “drama in the works.” Regarding Jussie’s case — the actor claimed to be the victim of a hate crime but has since been charged with setting it up — Serayah admits the cast feels the impact: “Everyone…
