Family Rap Game Brooklyn Decker and Andy Roddick’s household has become the Post Malone fan club. “We’re really into him,” says the Grace and Frankie star, especially son Hank, 3. “He saw Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Post Malone [and Swae Lee’s] ‘Sunflower’ was one of the theme songs,” adds the Finery founder, also mom to daughter Stevie, 15 months. “So now he walks in the house like he’s Spider-Man.” Brooklyn, 31, who’s partnered with Pure Leaf for their new line of herbal iced teas, lets Us in on their jam sessions. What kind of mom are you? BD A crazy mom. The house is always chaotic — it’s wild, rambunctious. What was it like for you going from one to two kids? BD It was a shock. I talk…

Fallout from Operation Varsity Blues won’t abate anytime soon. While Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin continue to suffer the legal consequences of allegedly paying bribes to help their kids get into high-profile universities, the actresses are also hurting behind closed doors — in their personal lives. ON THE ROCKS Felicity’s marriage to William H. Macy, 69 (below), is reportedly going through a rough patch. “They’ve been arguing,” a source tells Us about the parents of Sophia, 18, and Georgia, 17. Their biggest concern: how the Desperate Housewives alum, 56 — who’s said to have paid $15,000 in the college admissions scheme for Sophia in 2017 — and her case “are impacting” Sophia. THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT? Meanwhile, the scandal has also been affecting Lori and husband Mossimo Giannulli’s relationship with…

Well, that was fast! Christina Anstead (formerly El Moussa) married Ant Anstead three months ago, and the newlyweds aren’t wasting time in growing their family. The Flip or Flop star, 35, announced via Instagram (above) on March 22 that she and her hubby are expecting a baby in September. Their kids — Christina shares Taylor, 8, and Brayden, 3, with her HGTV costar and ex Tarek El Moussa; Ant, 39, is dad to Amelie, 15, and Archie, 12, with ex-wife Louise — “are all so excited to meet their new siblings,” she said.…

Sofia Carson likes to keep herself grounded. “I have a note my mom wrote to me for one of the first big meetings I had in the business,” says the star of Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists (Wednesdays at 8 P.M.). The 25-year-old actress unloads the rest of her essentials for Us. CAPPING THINGS OFF “If I’m not working or doing anything on camera, I always have a baseball hat with me in my purse.” COMMON SCENTS “I can’t go without my perfume: Diptyque’s Do Son. I don’t feel like myself without it.” MODEL STUDENT “Inside my wallet, you’ll find my UCLA ID card. I’m a student at UCLA and it’s really sweet to look at.” FINDING HER VOICE “Because I’m usually singing or recording music, I have my…

Everyone say, ‘Hi, Jennifer,’” drag queen Brita Filter, the emcee at NYC gay bar Pieces instructed the crowd. The group of men who’d packed themselves into the tiny historic spot in the West Village neighborhood enthusiastically complied: “Hi, Jennifer!” The woman receiving such a warm welcome? Actress Jennifer Lawrence, who’d come into the watering hole late on March 22 with her close friend, 15-time Grammy winner Adele, for a girls’ night out. Surrounded by starstruck guys who whipped out their phones to document the moment, the two women gamely played “musical shots,” a variation on musical chairs, and Jen happily did the Macarena to Kylie Minogue’s “Love at First Sight.” As one witness tells Us, “She was like one of the gang.” That stage at Pieces is the closest the…

Hollywood is filled with people searching for the Fountain of Youth, and one person who’s clearly found it is Jennifer Lopez. With her flawless skin and taut, toned physique, she makes 49 look like 29. But a whole lot of work goes into looking so fabulous, including a clean diet and strict workout regimen. “She’s incredibly disciplined,” says her personal trainer, Dodd Romero, who put J.Lo on an intense weight-training program to sculpt her already superfit body. (When we asked her in December whether she could bounce a quarter off her abs, she told Us, “Some days yes, other days no!”) Whether she’s working her legs, arms, abs or butt, the goal “is to make her tiny and tight, not bigger and bulky,” Dodd says. NO EXCUSES The famously hard-working…

“If you can find a workout that makes you smile, DO IT!!!” To Instagram followers, on her dance-and-strength-training sessions with pro Simone De La Rue JENNIFER GARNER, 46 “Boxing is such a great exercise. Not only is it good for you physically, it’s good for you mentally. And emotionally, it increases your focus.” To Us, on the routine she does three times a week PADMA LAKSHMI, 48 “I don’t have a trainer, but I’ve been committed… The female body is AMAZING.” On finding a postbaby six-pack DIANE KRUGER, 42 “I believe in being active, going for walks, stretching, maybe a little yoga or Pilates. I try to hit my 10,000 steps every day.” To Us, on her sensible fitness philosophy ELIZABETH HURLEY, 53 “I think it’s frame of mind. I…

Not all family are blood-related. NBC’s The Village (Tuesdays, 10 p.m.) examines the lives of residents of a Brooklyn apartment building, how their lives are intertwined and how, above all else, they’re held together by love. “It’s going to remind us who we are as artists, as human beings,” says Lorraine Toussaint, who plays social worker Patricia. “We have found a way to create family in this building.” HEART TO HEART For the former Orange Is the New Black star, 59, the theme of the new show is the best part. “There’s no pressure in love. It’s endless,” she says. “That’s where I want to live, where I aspire to live. This show allows me to walk my talk, in my work as well as my life.” MAKING CONNECTIONS Patricia…

Sometimes when I’m asleep she…

LIAM & MILEY Brother Knows Best! Liam Hemsworth is in the clear when it comes to Miley Cyrus’ protective older brother, Trace. “I love him,” the Metro Station bassist, 30, tells Us. In fact, when the Aussie actor, 29, started dating his now-wife, Miley, 26, Trace wanted to dislike him, but he couldn’t. “Anytime you have some guy dating your sister, you want to be the big brother, the bully, and hate on him,” he says. “But he’s such a great guy. He’s awesome.” JUSTIN & KATE She’s His MVP Justin Verlander knows he scored big when he won over Kate Upton. “She’s the most amazing woman,” the MLB pitcher, 36, who’s partnered with Flonase, gushes to Us. He’s in awe, he says, of watching his wife of more than…

People of the world: The Spice Girls’ Melanie “Mel B” Brown, 43, admitted during a taping of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories on March 22 that things once got, er, spicy between her and bandmate Geri Halliwell, 46. “She’s going to hate me for this, because she’s all posh in her country house with her husband,” she admitted, referring to Geri’s hubby, Christian Horner. The revelation was news to Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm, 45, who was in the audience. “I don’t know anything,” she said afterward. But those close to Geri say they do. “Nothing actually happened,” a source tells Us. “This is all just a bit of silliness, and Mel got carried away in the moment with Piers.”…

For Jessica Simpson, all the hardships she experienced during her pregnancy with baby Birdie — a source told Us in January it was her toughest — were worth it. “She’s over the moon,” the source says about the singer, 38, who welcomed her third child, via C-section, on March 19. “She was so over being pregnant, and now she’s looking forward to getting back on her feet again.” Thankfully, husband Eric Johnson has been “wonderful,” adds the source, noting that the former NFL pro, 39, has been helping out with Birdie and taking care of the couple’s older children, Maxwell, 6, and Ace, 5. “He’s a super dad.” Having a third baby has been “a totally different experience” for Jessica and Eric, says the source, and the parents couldn’t be…

PHOEBE CATES The actress, now 55, burst onto the scene with Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but reportedly wanted to focus on raising her two kids with husband Kevin Kline. She hasn’t acted since 2001’s Anniversary Party. JONATHAN TAYLOR THOMAS Once a teen heartthrob on ’90s sitcom Home Improvement, Jonathan left the industry “to go to school, to travel and have a bit of a break,” the 37-year-old has said. MISCHA BARTON “I just got to this place where I needed space,” the OC star has said about relocating to her native London after leaving the soapy Fox drama. Now 33, she’ll soon be seen in the Hills reboot. LEELEE SOBIESKI The Never Been Kissed sidekick, 35, left her acting career behind to focus on sculpting and painting in New…

SUPPORTED LUNGES After a 21-minute cardio warmup, Jen moves into a set of supported lunges. Holding a 25-lb weight, she does 50 reps on each leg, then moves directly into 50 rope crunches at 70 lbs. Two more sets of the same moves follow, with increasingly heavy weights and fewer reps. SINGLE DB SUMO SQUATS Holding one 40-lb dumbbell (DB), the singer performs 50 wide-legged squats with her toes pointing out. These are supersetted (i.e., no breaks) with 21 hanging leg raises. Next up: 35 single DB sumo squats with 50 lbs and 14 leg raises. The final set is 21 sumo squats with 60 lbs, then seven leg raises. WEIGHTED LEG PRESSES With 90 lbs of plates, J.Lo does 21 leg presses wide and 21 close, then 50 calf…

February was a dramatic month for Lady Gaga. Just days before she won the best original song Oscar for “Shallow,” the emotional anthem from her film A Star Is Born, she confirmed that she’d quietly split from her fiancé and agent, Christian Carino. When the Feb. 24 Academy Awards aired, people thought they knew why: Gaga and her director and costar, Bradley Cooper, gave a chills-inducing performance of “Shallow” that led fans to wonder whether the two were romantically involved in real life too. Turns out fans were focused on the wrong Oscar-nominated actor. On March 21, Us broke the news that in the wake of her split from Christian, 49, Gaga has been “spending a lot of time” with Hurt Locker actor Jeremy Renner, 48, and his daughter, Ava,…

FRIDAY 3/29 After some 40 movies, 25 years and one Oscar, Matthew McConaughey has reverted to his dazed-and-confused stoner dude persona. Alas, what was once amusing now seems pathetic and boring. His shaggy-haired, laid-back Moondog character smokes all day in sun-splashed Florida and adheres to the self-proclaimed lifestyle mantra, “I stay low when I get high.” After his wealthy, loving wife (Isla Fisher) dies, he decides to put himself on the straight and narrow. Kidding! Writer/director Harmony Korine (Spring Breakers) is strictly interested in testing limits — both of Moondog’s hedonism and his audience’s patience. Fun to see Zac Efron pop up as Moondog’s goofy partner in crime, though, as well as cameos from Martin Lawrence and Snoop Dogg.…

SARAH JESSICA PARKER Carrie Bradshaw loved her cosmos, but the actress who played her opts for vino. The star, 54, who recently announced plans to produce her own collection this summer, says she drinks a glass “literally, every single day.” THE VANDERPUMP GALS Fans of Bravo starlets Stassi Schroeder, 30, Kristen Doute, 36, and Katie Maloney, 32, know how much the trio loves wine. They describe their Witches of WeHo (a.k.a. West Hollywood) pinot grigio as “basic witch” brew.

The partners say the cabernet sauvignon “represents all of the women in our family.” JON BON JOVI Months after the Bon Jovi frontman and his son Jesse Bongiovi…

Water The singer drinks “a minimum of seven glasses of water each day,” says Dodd. “The first glass is in the a.m. on an empty stomach, with one fresh lemon squeezed in. Protein “She stays away from processed foods and gets her nutrients from whole sources,” says the pro. Her list of approved proteins includes egg whites, white-meat turkey, chicken breast and grass-fed beef up to four times a week. Fats J.Lo eats fish that’s high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, like salmon and sea bass, up to four times a week. Otherwise, says Dodd, “a handful of nuts each day is permitted.” Vegetables The greener her plate, the better! The actress enjoys unlimited veggies in her diet — “all except corn and carrots” that is, which have a…

SHALLOW / JIMMIE ALLEN, ABBY ANDERSON All I should say is: pipes! An incredible song, and these two take it to a new level. IF MY HEART HAD A HEART / CASSADEE POPE She’s a powerhouse! This song is so vulnerable and her vocals are insane. BABY SHARK / PINKFONG This song is on repeat at my house. My littlest one [Lyric, 2] absolutely loves it. You should see her do the dance! ALL TO MYSELF / DAN + SHAY I bought this album the day it came out and kept playing it in my headphones while I was traveling last summer. LOVE ON THE BRAIN / RIHANNA I love the soul in this song. It’s sexy and impossible not to sing along to. MAN OF THE WOODS / JUSTIN…

1. My first job was scrubbing the floors of my parents’ house for $1. 2. My favorite song to sing in the shower is Bonnie Raitt’s “Something to Talk About.” 3. The proudest day of my life was giving birth to my children [Victoria, 24, and Noel, 22, with ex Alexandre de Lesseps]. 4. I have no regrets from any of the RHONY seasons. I think we all learn from our mistakes and are better for it. 5. The first thing I do when my alarm goes off is make an espresso. 6. If I had to be stranded on a desert island with any Housewife it would be Sonja Morgan, so there’d be lots of laughter! 7. My favorite cheat food is a slice of New York pizza. 8.…
