‘IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS PUT YOUR FAMILY FIRST’ —SPEARS ON HALTING HER CAREER Britney Spears is hitting pause on her career to care for her father. On Jan. 4—one month before the singer, 37, was set to launch her new Las Vegas residency “Domination”—Spears revealed her dad, Jamie, 66, underwent surgery for a “life-threatening” colon rupture in November. “My father was hospitalized and almost died,” Spears said in a statement announcing her decision to take an “indefinite work hiatus.” With a long road still ahead, Jamie—who has been Spears’s personal and financial conservator since 2008—is also leaning on wife Lynne, son Bryan, 41, and daughter Jamie Lynn, 27, for support. Said Britney: “We have a very special relationship, and I want to be with my family at this…

Angelina Jolie, 43, made a surprise appearance at the taping of the Survivor live reunion special in L.A. on Dec. 19, where she and some of her kids joined the audience to watch cast members discuss the CBS show’s 37th season, “David vs. Goliath.” “They had a great time,” says a source of the family outing. “The kids really enjoyed it.” The Oscar winner has a penchant for adventure herself (she snacked on scorpions and tarantulas while filming her last movie in Cambodia), but she’s not angling for a Survivor audition. She turned up because of her friendship with writer, producer and actor Mike White, who competed in the latest season as a member of the Goliath tribe. The two became friends while working on the upcoming Disney film…

Someone I know lost everything in the wildfires that broke out in November—a home they lived in for 30 years—and they are absolutely devastated. So many people were deeply affected. It reminds us all that what matters is not what’s in the fire, it’s your relationships. I did a comedy benefit for low-income families who lost their homes and belongings. Visit California partnered with the American Red Cross to develop the public service announcement “Power of Love,” which I also participated in, that calls on the public to help support restoration following the wildfires. I was happy to be able to help in any way I could. People with a lot of money tend to have insurance that’s going to try to compensate them. But donating money to the…

Decked out in a glamorous couture gown and dazzling diamonds, Kendall Jenner was feeling like the supermodel that she is while she posed on the red carpet at the 2018 Golden Globes. “I was so into my look and loved my dress,” says the 23-year-old. “I went out [there] with a lot of confidence.” But when she checked social media that night, Jenner was horrified by the mean comments regarding her visible acne. “I was like, ‘Well, this sucks!’ ” Yet she refused to let the negativity get to her, declaring, “Never let that s--- stop you!” to her 25 million Twitter followers. “I had no choice but to show people I wasn’t tripping [out] about it.” Jenner hasn’t always felt unstoppable.

New year, new baby! Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West are expecting their fourth child, a boy, via gestational surrogate this spring, multiple sources confirm. The couple have yet to comment on the news, though a family source says the parents of daughters North, 5, and Chicago, 1, and son Saint, 3, are “ecstatic” to be expanding their family. “This is such a happy time,” says the source.

The couple—who secretly exchanged vows at a civil courthouse ceremony in September—are still finalizing details for a religious ceremony and reception. “They’ve been figuring out the perfect time to do it, and they both feel like the sooner, the better,” says a source close to Bieber.

Just after noon on Thanksgiving Day, Kelsey Berreth walked into a Safeway grocery store in Woodland Park, Colo., casually dressed in a lightweight jacket and pants. With her 1-year-old daughter Kaylee secured in a car seat atop her shopping cart, the 29-year-old flight instructor seemed like any other young mom doing some last-minute shopping. But that seemingly routine errand was the last time anyone reported seeing Kelsey. Ten days later Kelsey’s mother, Cheryl Berreth, called police to say she believed her daughter was missing. “It’s completely out of character,” Cheryl told reporters as a nationwide search ensued. “She’s not the kind that runs off.” That belief is now shared by police. On Dec. 21 authorities arrested Kelsey’s fiancé, Patrick Frazee, 32, charging him with two counts of murder and…

On New Year’s Day Olivia Newton-John and husband John Easterling were relaxing at their Southern California ranch when they came across some particularly shocking news. A slew of tabloid reports had the beloved Grease star, 70, on her deathbed, while others claimed she’d already died. “It was so absurd,” says a source close to the star. Already planning to post a New Year’s greeting to fans, Newton-John took the chance to clear things up. “I just want to say the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated,” she said, quoting Mark Twain while flashing her bright smile in a video posted to social media. “I’m doing great, and I want to wish all of you the happiest, healthiest 2019.” Of course health is a primary focus for Newton-John,…

A peacock, a unicorn and a pineapple are among the contestants on TV’s The Masked Singer, which just may go down in history as the oddest reality show ever. Based on a South Korean series, the Fox extravaganza features Nick Cannon as the emcee and celebrity panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger, who try to guess the identities of a bunch of bizarrely disguised celebrity performers. “They got to choose their costumes, and usually their costumes are a clue to who they are,” says Cannon, 38. But during the show’s taping even he was in the dark. “I didn’t know who the people were,” says the father of three. To protect their secret identities, participants stayed “in a completely separate area until they were fully…

The 24-year-old San Francisco native recorded his now-ubiquitous single in his bedroom in 2017. (The name, pronounced like “loud” with a “v,” means “lion” in Latvian, a nod to his mother’s roots.) Since then he has toured with Ed Sheeran, and his debut playlist, I Met You When I Was 18, has amassed more than a billion Spotify streams. How does a newly hot star stay chill? “Getting frozen margaritas at my favorite spot in North Hollywood.”…

It’s just before midnight on New Year’s Eve in Nashville, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are counting down the last seconds of 2018 in unison. With daughters Sunday, 10, and Faith, 8, smiling by their side, Kidman wraps her arms around Urban’s neck and the pair ring in the New Year with a kiss. That they happen to be onstage in front of 200,000 reveling music fans—gathered in Nashville’s Bicentennial Park for Urban’s rousing gig—is no matter. After 12 years of marriage, sparks still fly, and they aren’t squandering a single joyful moment. “My connection and my love for him is so powerful,” says Kidman, 51, relaxed and down-to-earth over lunch earlier in the day. “The girls and I are so lucky to have the man that he…

Raising three daughters just outside of Phoenix, Ronda and Bob Loon thought they did everything right. Bob, a businessman, made time to volunteer in his girls’ classrooms and coach their sports teams. “Never missed a game,” he says. Ronda, a stay-at-home mom, was a constant at school events and planned her kids’ sleepovers and birthday parties. But once their youngest daughter, Michaela, graduated high school, they couldn’t keep her from falling for “bad guys” or the drugs they sometimes offered her. By age 19, Michaela had become a single mom to son Ryder and addicted to meth and heroin. “In the blink of an eye, things changed,” says Ronda. With both of the boy’s parents in and out of rehab, it’s “Grammy” and “Pop” who Ryder, now 4, snuggles…

Q | How can I re-create Jennifer Aniston’s waves? A| The secret is to use three different sized round brushes, says the star’s hairstylist Chris McMillan, who describes this style as “natural and sexy.” After spraying volumizer at the roots (“the less product, the better,” he says), he then blow-dries the hair with a large brush around the hairline, a medium one at the back of the head and a small one at the crown. And skip the hairspray to keep it “touchable.” Q | Why does my foundation look cakey all of a sudden? A| Your skin is probably dry and flaky from the cold winter air, and as a result, your makeup isn’t going on smoothly. In addition to using a nourishing moisturizer, switch to a hydrating…

Last Time I Danced At my house. It was a friend’s birthday, and I played Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday,” and that led to a whole dance party. I’m pretty much the first out there.
