Kate Upton and Justin Verlander have hit a home run: They’re expecting a baby! Before sharing the good news with her fellow supermodel friends at the PARAISO Fashion Fair’s SI Swim Search in Miami Beach July 14, Upton captioned an Instagram shot of her growing baby bump with “#PregnantinMiami.” “She was glowing,” a source at the event tells Us. “She was telling all her friends how excited she and Justin were and that she was feeling great.” PARTY OF THREE And dad couldn’t be more thrilled! Verlander, 35, reshared the post and gushed to his wife, 26, of eight months. “I can’t wait to start this new journey with you!” he wrote. “I’m so proud that our little one is going to be raised in this world by a woman…

Matt Lauer and Annette Roque, 51, are close to finalizing their divorce. “He’s going to be forking out around $50 million in a settlement,” a source tells Us of the former Today host, 60, who was wed for 19 years. “She will receive the horse farm, their current residence and a onetime payment of $25 million.” And he’s not happy. “Matt is furious he is essentially handing over half of his net worth,” the insider adds. But he wants it over with. Says the source, “He’s ready to move on with his life.”…

Light your candles and pop some popcorn — you have an excuse to rewatch Hocus Pocus before Halloween this year. The Disney flick, which star Thora Birch notes “keeps getting more popular” with age, marks its 25th anniversary this July. Birch, 36, was only 10 when she played Dani, but her time acting alongside Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler (right) “has always stood out,” she tells Us. Midler especially “was very dedicated to her craft,” she says. “She had a dictionary full of Middle English curse words!”…

Katie Stevens has wedding fever. Since getting engaged to musician Paul DiGiovanni, 30, “I have some Brides magazines [in my bag],” the star of Freeform’s The Bold Type (Tuesdays, 8 P.M.) says. Her favorite section: honeymoon destinations. “Part of me wants to go to Hawaii,” she says. “But I might do something a little more adventurous, like Thailand.” Stevens, 25, flies through the rest of her sack for Us. LIQUID ASSETS “I have a huge Smart-water. When I finish it, I go to Starbucks and ask them to fill my bottle up again. I’m that person.” GETTING CARDED “My [Goldendoodle Winnie] is an emotional support animal, so I carry that card — also, a key to the hotel where I got engaged and my voter registration card.” USING HER RELIGION…

Nothing says “I love you” like a diamond, and this couple is seriously sparkling. After Bieber proposed with a seven-carat ring from Solow & Co., Baldwin returned the favor, reportedly picking up a blinged-out “JB” ring for her new fiancé. On July 13, Bieber shared a snapshot of their matching diamond-covered Audemars Piguet watches on Instagram. And to top it all off, a source tells Us Baldwin’s engagement ring is headed back to the jeweler for a fancy fix: “more diamonds.”…

After their day of mingling with fans July 13, Bieber and Baldwin hopped on a private plane to the place where they were first spotted getting cozy again in June — Miami. On July 14, they continued to celebrate their engagement, sipping champagne by the pool at the Miami Beach Edition hotel. “They were enjoying some privacy but were in a good, friendly mood,” a source tells Us. Later, Baldwin hit the bowling alley at the property’s Basement nightclub with pals.…

SUMMER BRAID UPGRADE! To find out how to get a red carpet-worthy boho style, we turned to celeb plait master and Beachwaver Co. founder Sarah Potempa. Her first trick: “To get texture and volume, I love to curl sections beforehand,” she says. Then, for definition, she separates her “weaving” sections with Darby Clips ($10, beachwaver.com). Her next-level finishing touch? Pancaking, or flattening the braid slightly by gently pulling it apart.…

1. I take my incense everywhere. The scent makes me feel like I’m home away from home. 2. I do Transcendental Meditation for 20 minutes, twice a day. 3. I take regular breaks from social media. Who knows what all that noise is doing to our brains in the long run! 4. The majority of the food I eat is vegan, but every now and then I’ll have fish. 5. I shaved my head for Nappily Ever After. It was terrifying and cathartic. I wound up loving it so much, I kept shaving it for a while. 6. On The Affair, it’s the first time I’ve worn my own hair for a role since Love & Basketball. 7. My audition for Love & Basketball was almost five months long. I…

Growing up Asian-American with traditional parents wasn’t easy for Julie Chen. Speaking Mandarin before English, the Talk cohost always felt as if she didn’t fit in: “I just wanted to assimilate and look and sound like the other kids,” she recalls to Us of being one of the few children of Asian heritage in grade school. “I was in denial.” And it seems like history is repeating itself for her 8-year-old son, Charlie (with husband Leslie Moonves, 68). “I see him going through what I did,” the 48-year-old notes, “which was trying to shun that side of me.” Charlie isn’t interested in learning his mother’s native tongue at the moment, but Chen believes he’ll warm to his background one day just as she did. “I know he’ll reach a stage…

KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN The mom to 3-month-old daughter True told off a Twitter user who called the baby “not cute at all” July 7. “What type of disgusting human being are you?” wrote the 34-year-old. “It’s pathetic that you are this miserable in your life.” KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN She does it all! When an Instagram commenter suggested she wasn’t spending time with kids Mason, 8, Penelope, 6, and Reign, 3, as she flaunted her bikini body in Italy July 8, Kardashian, 39, clarified: “my son was taking the photo.” KRISTIN CAVALLARI After her sons Camden, 5, and Jaxon, 4, were “skinny-shamed” online in 2016, the Very Cavallari star, 31, shot back with a sarcastic jab: “Yep, I starve my children.” Now, she tells Us, “I don’t read any of it. I know…

Three days before Forbes declared cover star Kylie Jenner on track to become the “youngest-ever self-made billionaire,” the 20-year-old makeup mogul revealed on Instagram that she’d ditched the very thing that helped her start her $800 million cosmetics brand in 2015: her superlarge lips. The mom to 5-month-old Stormi “stopped getting regular filler injections almost three months ago,” a source tells Us, adding that she also had Hyaluronidase (an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm Voluma) injected to help dissolve her existing lip filler. The process was done gradually, since Jenner “didn’t want to go out in public looking drastically different,” says the source. “She’s come to a point where she’s really confident with herself,” another pal explains of the decision. “Motherhood changed her. I think…

Days after giving birth to Kulture Kiari Cephus in Atlanta on July 10, Cardi B “is already embracing motherhood fully,” a source tells Us. The rapper, 25, is enjoying her time “cuddled up with her little girl at home,” says the insider. Meanwhile, her mom and family “are walking her through” what to expect during the days ahead with her new bundle. HAPPY FAMILY Dad Offset (real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus) is just as thrilled. Though the Migos rapper, 26, has three children from prior relationships (sons Jordan and Kody and daughter Kalea), “the birth of this baby feels like the first time he had a kid all over again,” says the source. In a June 20 interview with Rolling Stone, Bronx native Cardi noted, “People want to make fun…

Thomas Markle believes his daughter is struggling as a royal. In a July 14 interview with the U.K.’s The Sun, Markle, 73, said she looks “terrified” during recent appearances. “I see it in her eyes,” he said. “I know her smile. I don’t like the one I’m seeing now… this is a pained smile.” For the duchess, however, it’s her dad who’s causing pain. “She was devastated at the start of the mess with her father, and now she is completely done with him,” says a source. “The door is shut.”…

Honestly, Lily James was scared. She had just landed the role in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again as Donna, the younger version of Meryl Streep’s character from the 2008 hit. Yes, that Meryl Streep. “I didn’t want to screw it up!” the Cinderella alum confesses. “Meryl portrayed her so perfectly. I wanted people to feel that this girl could grow up to be that woman.” (The musical, out July 20, focuses on how Donna met the potential dads to Amanda Seyfried’s Sophie.) To calm her nerves, the Brit, 29, channeled Donna’s carefree spirit. Adds James, “I just thought, I have to be her. I have to dive in headfirst with total abandonment.” She gets in sync with Us. Q: How did you go about channeling Meryl? I watched the…

Q: Most likely to cry during a movie? MIZ Maryse. She is also most likely to make me watch a movie, then fall asleep five minutes in. MARYSE I’ve never seen my husband cry. Q: Who hogs the bed? MIZ Right now, our 4-month-old daughter, Monroe. Before, definitely, Maryse and our Doberman. Now, I get a small corner to share with our min pin. MARYSE I’ll admit I do. We have a full bed! Q: Who’s a better driver? MARYSE Definitely me. I can drive stick. Mike can’t do two things at the same time! I get stressed when he tries to work the radio. MIZ She’s going to say she’s better. Who drives a stick nowadays, anyway? Q: Who tends to control the remote? MIZ Maryse doesn’t know how…

“I just needed a minute. It was a long minute. It was a good minute.” On why she took a break from Hollywood, NEVE CAMPBELL “The planets, the stars, there’s nothing more humbling than that sh*t.” On her views on intergalactic space, ARIANA GRANDE “My bride wears gloves in the pool because she hates the feeling of pruney fingertips on skin.” On wife Kristen Bell’s odd habit, DAX SHEPARD “Wake up every day saying I am the best thing that has ever happened to me.” On the most positive way to start the morning, PARIS HILTON “The cutest thing is when I hold her and then she throws up on me.” On his 3-month-old daughter, Tiana, DWAYNE JOHNSON…

CHRISSY & JOHN All Loved Up It’s no secret that Chrissy Teigen, 32, and John Legend, 39, are one of Hollywood’s “it” couples. (Just check their social media feeds.) But the passion is still there for the pair of five years, even when the cameras (and the comments!) aren’t rolling. “They seem as much in love as they did back before they were married and had kids,” a source at the General Hardware x RH Celebration told Us. “She lights up when their eyes meet.” VANESSA & AUSTIN Heaven on Earth Hudgens and Austin Butler are still in the honeymoon phase. On July 8, the actress, 29, shared a snap with her beau, 26, while vacationing in Turks & Caicos, calling him, “my heaven.” But despite being together since 2011,…

Things are looking more hot than cold for Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. The singer, who was on a short break from her Witness world tour, jetted to London to watch the English actor, 41, perform in Killer Joe and later enjoyed a romantic dinner at Annabel’s restaurant July 13. “Katy and Orlando looked like any normal couple during dinner,” an onlooker tells Us. “She had a huge smile on her face the whole time.”  GOING STRONG On and off since 2016, the couple made their romance, er, re-official in May. Since then, Perry, 33, has been spotted across the pond multiple times. Could a move be imminent? Adds the witness, other diners “noticed she was so in love with him by the way she looked at him.”…

Of all the incredible films in Denzel Washington’s arsenal, why, oh, why did he choose to revisit a dreary, ultraviolent vigilante drama? The Equalizer 2 just builds on the original’s painfully stale formula. His CIA operative turned professional street-justice warrior Robert McCall now works under the guise of a friendly (if watchful) Lyft driver. He springs into revenge mode after his former ally (Melissa Leo) is murdered. Who killed her? Doesn’t matter, and doesn’t add up anyway. The death serves as a jumping-off point for the 63-year-old to drop-kick the generic goons. And somehow his quest ties in with an underprivileged teen (Ashton Sanders) he’s trying to mentor. Indeed, the story meanders around seven plots until our hero engages in a climactic shoot-out in, sigh, a rainstorm. A trilogy need…

IN MY FEELINGS / DRAKE Champagne Papi’s playful New Orleans bounce track sparked a viral dance challenge that isn’t slowing down anytime soon. And neither is he. Cue the fire emojis. HIGH HORSE / KACEY MUSGRAVES She might just be the first singer to croon “giddy up” on a disco-inspired tune. Thanks to her sleek vocals and barbed lyrics about a not-so-humble lover, it works! DONE FOR ME / CHARLIE PUTH FT. KEHLANI George Michael would have been proud: The Wham!-inspired funky number is possibly Puth’s best since “See You Again.” Kehlani’s R&B-inflected verse is a standout, too. GOD IS A WOMAN / ARIANA GRANDE Released mid-season, the dynamic pop star’s sultry song praises sex as a spiritual experience. She emulates Migos’ flow then transitions into an ethereal chorus. ONE…
