In Kristen Bell’s house, anything and everything is game for discussion. “We talk to our girls very openly and honestly,” the mother of daughters Lincoln, 5, and Delta, 3, with husband of five years Dax Shepard, 43, tells Us. “We decided when we had kids that we’d never, sort of, spin a fairy tale. Even if it’s hard subjects.” The Veronica Mars alum, 38, tells Us how they keep it real in their household. Q: Do the girls understand Dax’s 14 years of sobriety? He goes to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Tuesday night. Sometimes they say, “I want to go to one.” And because he’s a comedian, he says, “Don’t worry, you will!” So we keep it light. Q: How do you and Dax explain other difficult subjects to…

As she continues to recover from her July drug overdose, Demi Lovato “has cut a lot of people out of her life,” a source tells Us. But ex Wilmer Valderrama “has remained a constant.” The NCIS star, 38, “has visited her many times” since the near-fatal incident, first at the hospital and later at the rehab facility where the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer, 26, remains. And though the pair aren’t “officially” a couple again, notes the insider, “Demi and Wilmer are on their way to getting back together.”…

Like music, golf has played an important role in Justin Timberlake’s life. Stepfather Paul Harless “introduced me to the game” at a young age, the singer, 37, has said. “If I’m playing against him, it’s no holds barred. There’s no letup. We’re both grown men. I can accept losing, and I know that he can take an ass-whupping.” But after Paul’s 2016 dementia diagnosis, the ’NSYNC alum felt as if he was losing his partner. As Paul’s memory and communication skills worsened, Timberlake “would have to keep really close tabs on him,” JT’s mom, Lynn Harless, reveals to Us. “It was so difficult for Justin to watch. It’s been heartbreaking.” But they’ve recently found new hope. Though Paul’s cognitive abilities began to decline rapidly in 2016, the family — who’ve…

An Artful Space 1. Before welcoming daughter Harper, 8, Tiffani Thiessen and her husband, Brady Smith, turned their kitchen into a nesting project. “We gutted it and redesigned the entire room,” the star tells Us. Now also mom to son Holt, 3, Thiessen considers the room her creative den: “This is my art studio. I spend most of my time here creating meals for my family.” 2. Communal space is a must for the Saved by the Bell alum. “We designed this big, big island because I love to throw parties.” 3. Her favorite feature: “secret” compartments. Besides a cabinet that hides an extra dishwasher for post-fete cleanup, “I designed drawer fridges for extra beverages,” she notes. “The lower one has juices and milks the kids can easily grab. The…

Kathryn Hahn was in agony. For Netflix’s Private Life, the actress did a deep dive re-searching couples struggling with infertility. “I want to cry even thinking about them now — the pain and joy they go through to try and complete their families,” Hahn, 45, tells Us. In the drama, Hahn’s Rachel and her husband, Richard (Paul Giamatti), go on a similar gut-wrenching journey. “The ‘baby project’ has become so all-consuming that it threatens to extinguish them,” says the mom of Leonard, 11, and Mae, 9 (with Ethan Sandler). “She wants a baby more than anything, but he won’t let her go off the deep end. That, to me, is deeply romantic.” POWER PAIR Offscreen, her relationship with Giamatti is just as strong. For their first rehearsal — a pasta…

SKY FULL OF SONG / FLORENCE + THE MACHINE “I’ve been listening to this on repeat since I first heard it. Her voice draws you in. Then the lyrics, well, even as I type, I have to remember to breathe.” CARRY ON / FUN. “Nate Ruess’ voice is like a warm hug for me. With all that’s overwhelming in the world right now, it’s nice to hide in a song and feel like everything is going to be OK.” BETTER NOW / POST MALONE “I love a good emo hip-hop record. I always have, since I heard ‘Passin’ Me By’ by the Pharcyde when I was a kid. Or maybe because I’m a sappy girl who loves a love song.” THE MIDDLE / ZEDD, MAREN MORRIS & GREY “As legend…

“I was in the hospital not due to any drugs, but I guess I ate too many Hot Cheetos.” Explaining his theory about his acute stomach condition,LIL XAN “I have been keeping up with my weighted blanket and my toys that I get off of Groupon.” On why she doesn’t bother dating,TIFFANY HADDISH “Always. Consistency is key.” After a Twitter user accused the star of making things about herself again,KIM KARDASHIAN “I was, like, ‘Hi, nice to meet you, Sophie,’ played it cool, ran into the closet and, like, cried for five minutes.” On her frazzled greeting as she met childhood crush Justin Bieber,SOPHIE TURNER “Not only does she tell me that she doesn’t like my movies, she doesn’t even call them real movies.” On his biggest critic, 5-year-old daughter, Everly,CHANNING TATUM…

Jenni “JWoww” Farley is a single lady. The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star, 32, filed for divorce from husband Roger Mathews on Sept. 12, citing “irreconcilable differences” in papers filed. According to a source, the pair, who wed nearly three years ago, had been struggling for a while. “The split was a long time coming,” the source tells Us of the parents to Meilani, 4, and Greyson, 2, noting there was no cheating involved. “Everyone was hoping they’d work it out, but it didn’t happen.” Still, Mathews, 43, isn’t ready to give up yet. “I’m gonna win my wife back. We’re in counseling so there is hope,” he said in a Sept. 27 Instagram post. “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings.”…

Someone’s after her diamonds! Three intruders entered Rihanna’s Hollywood Hills home Sept. 25, the LAPD confirms to Us. Authorities were alerted thanks to the singer’s “sophisticated surveillance equipment,” says a police spokesperson, but the culprits were gone by the time officers arrived. It’s unclear if anything was stolen. In May, a man was charged with stalking, burglary and vandalism after breaking into her home and spending hours inside.…

Barbara Corcoran has one rule before bed: “I don’t touch my iPhone,” the investor on ABC’s Shark Tank (season 10 premieres Oct. 7, 10 P.M.) tells Us. “If I look at one text, I’ll go down the rabbit hole.” So her a.m. wakeup call comes from a ringing Braun alarm clock. “I have it no matter where I am,” she says. Corcoran, 69, wed to Bill Higgins, flies through the rest of her sack for Us. READING THE FUTURE “I have a tarot card deck to make friends and entertain. At a Shark Tank closing party, I read everyone’s tarot cards.” WORDS WITH FRIENDS “There is always someone who wants to play a game of Scrabble. I have a portable set.” “FLYNE” DINING “I’m too cheap to buy business class…

Katie Holmes has moved on. She’s a hands-on, independent single mom to her 12-year-old daughter, Suri. She’s found lasting love with Jamie Foxx. She’s taken on roles in quirky independent films and hit TV shows, and even branched off into fashion design. Those years when then-husband Tom Cruise controlled her life, when former friends whispered that she’d been brainwashed, are a distant memory. But Cruise is still controlling her — and she’s not the only one. Both Holmes and Cruise’s previous wife, Nicole Kidman, walked away from the Mission: Impossible star, 56, years ago, but agreements they signed during the divorce likely still dictate who they talk to, according to explosive allegations made by former Scientologist turned outspoken critic Leah Remini. “Why haven’t Katie Holmes or Nicole Kidman spoken out…

There’s no shortage of criticism aimed at Megyn Kelly — but she swears she doesn’t read any of it. “I could also follow the city bus and just suck in the exhaust, and it would have the same result,” the New Yorker jokes. But when the insults get particularly brutal, she can count on one source to let her know. “My doorman is really sympathetic,” she explains. “I know things have gotten really nasty when the doorman is coming over to hug me. Then it’s bad.” For Kelly, 47, who recently celebrated one year of hosting the third hour of the Today show, the past 12 months have been a series of highs and lows. After an uncertain start, many tried to count her out, betting the former Fox News…

FRIDAY 10/5 So this is what Lady Gaga looks like. Mousy shoulder-length brown hair protecting a delicate, angular face. Fair complexion. Defined nose. Almond eyes. In his directorial debut, Bradley Cooper places the camera right on her face and captures the pop chameleon at her most vulnerable and triumphant. This exhilarating fourth iteration has a lot going for it, including a gorgeous, vibrant soundtrack and compelling performances. But the petite dynamo’s talent is the biggest takeaway. Her Ally is a blue-collar waitress, while Cooper’s Jackson is a grizzled, troubled country artist. The moment he catches her croon in a dive bar, he’s smitten. He guides her, sings with her, falls in love with her. But the faster she rises, the faster he falls. And it’s fast: She evolves into an…

Despite reports that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in a cease-fire regarding their nasty custody battle, a source tells Us they’re nowhere near making up. “There is no truce,” the source says. “Angie is extremely hard to deal with.” And since she changed her counsel to Samantha Bley DeJean, the fight for their six children — Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and Knox and Vivienne, 10 — has only intensified. “Angie is once again doing things that are interfering with Brad’s custodial time with the children,” the source says, noting that, on days the 54-year-old is supposed to see the kids, they’ve been arriving at his home late. The actress, 43, has even started making indirect digs at the actor, from whom she split in 2016…

RON & ANDERSON Before graduating Yale in 1989, Ron Livingston and Anderson Cooper, both 51, lived across the hall from each other. “I didn’t know him super well,” the actor has said. “I was antisocial, and he was abnormal.” KELLY & BARACK Little did Kelly Preston, 55, know, while attending the Punahou School in Hawaii, that her schoolmate Barack Obama, 57, would become president. Years later, “he told me he’d seen me around campus!” she tells Us. CAMILA & THE SPROUSE TWINS Before Camila Mendes, 24, and Cole Sprouse, 26, became costars on Riverdale, the actress and actor (and brother Dylan) were enrolled at NYU. But, she said, they never spoke: “[Cole] was really shy.” TIMOTHÉE & ANSEL When asked who was more popular at NYC’s LaGuardia High School, Ansel…

Her This Is Us character Rebecca’s first date with husband Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) “certainly wasn’t that romantic,” Mandy Moore admitted to Us at the show’s season 3 premiere Sept. 25. Thankfully, Moore’s first date with real-life fiancé Taylor Goldsmith “was much smoother,” she says. Caught up in conversation over a sushi dinner, “we looked around and the entire rest of the restaurant was closed around us,” says the 34-year-old. “It was one of those epic moments.” Now a year into their engagement, the A Walk to Remember actress (previously wed to musician Ryan Adams) revealed she’s not quite in full-on wedding-planning mode just yet, but is super happy with the 32-year-old Dawes frontman. At DuJour magazine’s fall cover party Sept. 24, she gushed to Us. “He is the most refreshingly…

These sisters are on the same page! Both Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid are focused on fixing their recently rekindled relationships the second time around. A source confirms to Us that Bella, 22, is “fully back together” with her ex, The Weeknd. (They first split in 2016.) And the lovebirds have learned from their past mistakes. “When they were more public, it deteriorated their relationship,” another insider tells Us. So, this time, the model and singer, 28, “are trying to be more private. They’re doing well.” DOUBLE THE LOVE As for 23-year-old Gigi, her romance with Zayn Malik “has been very intense” since they got back together in April following two months apart, a source reveals. “She’s really turned into a recluse and has been spending all of her time…

JUNE 2017 She interviews Infowars founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for a special, drawing criticism. She argues others have gotten passes, “but when Megyn Kelly does it, it’s not fine.” SEPTEMBER 2017 Kelly asks Fonda about her plastic surgery during the actress’ press tour for a new Netflix film. Fonda sniffs, “Do we really want to talk about that?” A feud ensues. DECEMBER 2017 The month after NBC fires Matt Lauer for sexual misconduct, Kelly brings on former Today staffer Addie Zinone to talk about their consensual relationship. MARCH 2018 She nabs her second chat with Vladimir Putin in less than a year, as concern about Russia intervening in U.S. affairs reaches a fever pitch.…

FRIDAY 10/5 My goodness. This wonderful adaptation of Angie Thomas’ novel seamlessly melds social justice and teenage fears in ways that most films can scarcely dream of. Its heart is 16-year-old Starr (Amandla Stenberg), who readily admits that she wavers between two identities. At home, she can recite the Black Panthers’ Ten-Point Program; at her prep school, she’s a popular student. Her worlds crumble when she witnesses a white police officer shoot her childhood pal at what starts as a routine traffic stop. That’s heady material, and Stenberg carries it all on her capable shoulders. She’s vulnerable yet headstrong, culminating in a truly galvanizing moment that will make you sit up straight and listen. If this is what the new generation of YA storytelling looks like, bring it on. MR…

Sandra Lee refused to go down without a fight. Diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in May 2015, “I was terrified,” the TV chef, who underwent a double mastectomy, recalls to Us. But “I was going to walk into the operating room with my head held high. I was not going to let myself feel like a victim. We are in control.” Today she’s sharing her road to recovery on the raw HBO documentary Rx: Early Detection — A Cancer Journey With Sandra Lee (Oct. 8, 8 p.m.). “There was no lighting, no sound, no cinematography. It’s just doctor’s appointment after doctor’s appointment,” the 52-year-old says of the film. “Cancer does not play. You have to immediately get it out of your body.” CALL TO ACTION Now she’s on a mission…
