NICE BUNS! They Can’t Resist a Ballpark Hot Dog! ➽ Sydney Sweeney and BFF Kaylee McGregor downed Dodger Dogs while cheering on the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Toronto Blue Jays during Game 4 of the World Series in L.A. While the Dodgers lost this round, the friends at least got to indulge in concession stand snacks as a consolation prize. Plus, Sweeney’s team eventually won the World Series in a dramatic Game 7 — proof that faith, with a side of mustard, goes a long way. They Eat Fro-Yo Year-Round! Ignoring the chill in the air — not to mention the date on the calendar — Jessica Alba indulged in a swirl of chocolate frozen yogurt from a self-serve machine, proving that dessert knows no season. Who says it…

I’ve spent nearly 30 years as an entertainment journalist — and I still love it. Every day, I get to tell the stories of the artists, creators and dreamers who shape pop culture and make life brighter, bolder and more joyful for all of us. Over time, I’ve seen that when celebrity stories are told with care, they do more than entertain — they connect us, inspire us and remind us of our shared humanity. That’s the heart of Us Weekly. Over the past 18 months, we’ve raised the bar on our storytelling, committing to make our reporting the gold standard of smart, trusted entertainment journalism. Because there’s no shame in loving celebrity culture. It’s not a guilty pleasure; it’s part of how we find joy, hope and meaning. We…

Here We Go Again! Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande ditched their green and pink wardrobes for darker looks as they embarked on the Wicked: For Good press tour a year after the first half of the movie musical rocked the pop culture sphere. LONDON, NOV. 10 Friends in High Places The life of two showgirls! Taylor Swift towered over Short n’ Sweet bestie Sabrina Carpenter as the pair enjoyed a night out at hotspot The Corner Store. NYC, NOV. 7 Going Out on a Limb Janelle Monáe looked like she had a few extra pairs of arms and legs thanks to the unique Thom Browne ensemble she wore to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. L. A., NOV. 8 Back in the Ballroom Milestone moment! Original Dancing…

A Dress to Impress At the 2024 MTV VMAs, Carpenter turned heads in this archival Bob Mackie outfit, first worn by Madonna and then later by Fran Fine in the first season of The Nanny. Under the Rainbow Perry rocked a multicolored mini on American Idol, an outfit that recalled a Todd Oldham gown that Drescher wore on the sitcom. Who else but these two could pull off looking like a human roll of Life Savers candy? Orange Alert Cardi would share more than a closet with Fran Fine in a hypothetical reboot of The Nanny: “She’s from New York, we both have funny voices, she could be my daughter!” declared Drescher. Spot the Resemblance After Carpenter tipped her beret to another Nanny look, Drescher gushed, “She’s so sweet and…

Brooks Nader knows her plastic surgeries aren’t a secret. “People say I look like Michael Jackson,” she said with a shrug during a Bustle interview published on Nov. 5. Nader, 28, has no problem naming the enhancements she’s gotten over the years. After all, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue cover girl knows all too well that the cutthroat modeling industry expects women to look a certain way — but she’s happy to oblige. “If I didn’t get a job, I would say to [my old agency], ‘Can we get feedback from the client?’ The direct feedback was [that] I needed to lose 30 pounds. I didn’t shed one tear over it. I don’t feel bad for myself. I just say, ‘The facts are they want me to lose weight. How…

When we last left Wicked, the musical adaptation had managed to defy both gravity and lofty expectations by becoming a box-office powerhouse nominated for 10 Oscars. And while part two, Wicked: For Good (in theaters Nov. 21), doesn’t fly quite as high, it succeeds as an emotionally charged piece of cinematic magic. After going rogue and flying off the broomstick handle (so to speak), Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and her former university roommate, Glinda (Ariana Grande), find themselves on opposing sides: One has been vilified by the impressionable citizens of Oz; the other gets to wave her magic wand and float around in a pink bubble. Adding to the complications, dashing Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), engaged to Glinda, is tasked with hunting down his onetime love. The conflict remains at a standstill…

A Song for Lounging by the Fireplace “The Christmas Song” — [Sings] “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” Nat King Cole. It doesn’t get any better than that. A Song You Associate With a Favorite Holiday Film or TV Show One of my favorite holiday movies is Love Actually, so obviously Kelly Clarkson, “The Trouble With Love Is” — so good. It’s a classic. A Song About Snow! I love “Winter Wonderland.” A Song That Captures the Meaning of the Season “The Little Drummer Boy.” He was a poor boy, and so all he did was give what he had. That is the true spirit of Christmas. It’s not about the gifts. It’s about you. You are the gift. I like the [Vienna Boys’ Choir] version on the [1968 stop-motion…

While sources had previously told Us that Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun’s romance was just “fun,” things are heating up” between the actress and music exec. “It’s very real,” an insider tells Us of Sweeney, 28, and Braun, 44. “Neither of them expected it to turn into something serious at first and are surprised by how genuine the connection has become.” The Christy star — who called off her engagement to ex Jonathan Davino in March — and Braun were spotted on several recent dates around NYC, including holding hands in Bryant Park’s Winter Village and locking lips in the middle of Central Park. “Scooter is extremely supportive, and that is one of the reasons why she’s so drawn to him,” the insider adds. “He’s deeply interested in her…

According to his socials, Anderson is a Delaware-based fitness enthusiast.…

• Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice may finally be ready to put the past in the past. After not speaking for three years, the Real Housewives of New Jersey costars and sisters-in-law met for lunch at Willow & Whisk in the Garden State on Nov. 1. “They are going to move forward, but it’s not going to be overnight,” a source tells Us of Gorga, 46, and Giudice, 53. The women’s respective husbands, Joe Gorga and Luis Ruelas, joined them for the meal, which the source says ended with everyone agreeing to “avoid discussing family drama on the show.” RHONJ has been on hold for more than a year as the network figures out casting for season 15. “No one has a contract yet to return,” per the source, but…

DECEMBER 1, 2014 ➽ Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett sat down with Us for their first interview since his affair with a transgender model while the Girls Next Door alum was pregnant. Wilkinson admitted she didn’t “believe in fairy-tale life anymore” but could tell the former NFL player wanted to “fight for our marriage.” Ultimately, they never recovered from the scandal and split in 2018. ➽ After welcoming daughter North, Kim Kardashian put in a ton of hard work to prep for her nude “Break the Internet” shoot for Paper magazine (one source estimated she did 100 squats a day). “She feels sexy,” a pal told Us. ➽ The Challenge star Diem Brown lost her decade-long cancer battle on Nov. 14 at 34. Castmate Evan Starkman told Us she “kicked…

As soon as her career took off, Wilson knew she wanted to give back. Heart Like a Truck “focuses on changing lives and celebrating that triumph, and it’s something I’m really passionate about,” she tells Us. HLAT raised over $400,000 on the North American leg of Wilson’s Whirlwind World Tour, donating over $150,000 to various local charities along the way. “We come across a lot of people and hear a lot of stories about hardships [they] are having,” Wilson’s longtime manager, Mandelyn Monchick, tells Us. “[Lainey] really tries to get down to the grassroots level and [connect] with these people, one-on-one.” In her adopted home state of Tennessee, Wilson is proudest of HLAT’s work with Family Alliance in Music, which helps artists — laboring in an erratic, often low-paying industry…

They say every picture tells a story. On Nov. 7, TMZ posted a photo of Sean “Diddy” Combs at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey. In the images, the disgraced music mogul looks surprisingly at ease: Dressed in a gray sweatsuit, a matching beanie (and beard) and a blue jacket and black sneakers, he smiled and socialized in a circle of six men in the prison yard. Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison in early October following his July conviction on two counts of transportation for prostitution. (He was acquitted on the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy following his eight-week trial, during which his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and a woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane claimed they were forced to…

• Nearly a decade after it hooked Us, Netflix’s supernatural megahit Stranger Things is ending — but not before a time jump to 1987 and one last epic standoff with Jamie Campbell Bower’s monstrous Vecna. Get ready to give over your holidays to season 5, which streams on Thanksgiving (starting Nov. 26), Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Here’s where we left off: Season 4 split our ragtag heroes into three locations. The Hawkins, Indiana, squad — original nerds Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin); nerdadjacent Max (Sadie Sink), Eddie (Joseph Quinn) and Erica (Priah Ferguson), who is Lucas’ sister; bonded-by-ice-cream-scooping friends Steve (Joe Keery) and Robin (Maya Hawke); and resourceful Nancy (Natalia Dyer) — tried to take down Vecna after a string of mysterious deaths. In California, sibs Will…

Krysten Ritter could play everywoman if she wanted, but right now she’s busy going full feral in Stone Cold Fox. The neon-soaked, ’80s-set thriller (available on demand) tracks a sharp-tongued teen (Kiernan Shipka) who escapes drug dealer Goldie’s (Ritter) culty criminal empire in order to save her sister. “I love how unpredictable and crazy she is. That is so fun to play,” Ritter, 43, tells Us. “These kinds of roles don’t always come around for women.” Here’s more from the star we loved in the series Marvel’s Jessica Jones and Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23. What makes a character like Goldie such a treat for you to take on? She didn’t just become this evil psychopath for no reason. She’s a result of her circumstances, like we all…

Kim Kardashian recently confessed to the staggering yearly cost of her beauty routine. “It could be a million dollars,” estimated the Skims mogul. “This hair isn’t cheap!” But she’s not always footing the bill. “If I’m filming my [reality] show, they pay for it,” she explained. “I try to get it all paid for, so I don’t personally have topay.” Sadly, that doesn’t fly so well when you work in accounts!…

After nearly 30 years of marriage, Candace Cameron Bure has learned that life’s trials and tribulations only make her marriage to husband Valeri Bure stronger. “That vow and commitment was always there, even though we got to a breaking point,” the Full House alum told Us while promoting her new book, Rise and Renew. “Sometimes, with relationships, we have to break [them] down into what seem like so many broken pieces, but then when you put them all together, you really can build it even better.” Candace, 49, notes that in a longterm marriage, “you have to find your relationship again when the kids get older.” (She and Val, 51, share daughter Natasha, 27, and sons Lev, 25, and Maksim, 23.) “I’m more in love with my husband today,” Candace…

Just two months after splitting, Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini are “giving their relationship another try,” a source tells Us. “There’s still a lot of love there, so they fell back into it very naturally.” A second insider says the couple’s reconciliation isn’t a surprise, as they “never really stopped being in touch.” Case in point: Stokes was spotted in Ballerini’s native Tennessee in October before they jetted off to Europe together. Eyewitness Gemma Kennedy tells Us the actor, 33, and the country singer, 32, were “very much loved-up and holding hands” at Cannonball Restaurant & Bar near Edinburgh Castle in Scotland. “We had a wee chat about how he was having a holiday before going to Croatia to film the final season of Outer Banks,” Kennedy shares. (Stokes and…

ERIC DANE A Cure for ALS Not long after the Grey’s Anatomy alum publicly revealed his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis in April, he joined Push for Progress, a campaign sponsored by the I Am ALS organization to secure federal funding for research. “I’m gonna fight until the last breath on this one,” he told Congressman Eric Swalwell in September. It’s no wonder he was named ALS Network Advocate of the Year.

During his stint at MDC, Combs taught a six-week entrepreneurship course called Free Game With Diddy. (In a rating of the class via a Bureau of Prisons work performance document shared with Us on Nov. 11, a unit manager offered a rave review, writing: “Excellent class. Keep up the great work!”) Now, Combs’ spokesperson Juda Engelmayer tells Us the rapper will be teaching the course again at Fort Dix. “He’s just launching it now,” says Engelmayer. According to paperwork, the goal of the class is to “equip participants with essential skills in business management, entrepreneurship and personal development.” A class syllabus outlines sections, including “Successful People Do What Unsuccessful People Won’t Do,” “Time Waits for No Man” and a bonus class called “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” — a nod to…

The Kinks These past few years, I’ve been going deep into their catalog, and they were just quietly brilliant this whole time. I always loved their hits, but then you get into a deep groove and realize even the stuff that didn’t get put out as singles were just flat-out hits. This Paradise I’m a bit evangelical about writer Ruby Cowling — I’ve gifted this slim little shortstory collection of shockers to more than a dozen people. “Eliminate Toxins and Increase Blood Flow” is a 3½-page switchblade of a story that leaves a deep, messy scar. Slow Horses A master class in anti–James Bond spy glitz and one of the tightest [casts] of acting heavy hitters ever assembled. If this is all Gary Oldman does for the rest of his…

• There are tearjerkers, and then there is Hamnet. A gorgeous adaptation of the Maggie O’Farrell bestseller, the film (in select theaters Nov. 26; opens wide Dec. 12) imagines the heartbreak of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his wife, Agnes (Jessie Buckley), after the death of their 11-year-old son, Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe). No wonder the film-festival fave — it’s collected seven audience awards — is poised to clean up when Oscar nominations are announced Jan. 22. Here’s what we’re predicting for Hamnet. BEST ACTRESS It’s OK if you’re not superfamiliar with Buckley: She’ll be all over awards season. Indeed, the Irish actress — previously nominated for 2021’s The Lost Daughter — is so shattering in her portrayal of a grieving mother, she should start polishing up her acceptance speech. BEST…
