The Bachelor’s Catherine Giudici jokes that she’s “been perpetually pregnant or breast-feeding for the past four years,” but the upside is that practice makes perfect! When baby Mia joined brothers Samuel, 3, and Isaiah, 20 months, in December, Giudici and hubby Sean Lowe were able to “anticipate what was going to happen” and “not worry” so much. She adds that things are “a lot easier” now. The reality star, 33, tells Us more about her family of five. Q: How are Samuel and Isaiah with Mia? They’ve taken to her. It’s been really nice to see my boys love on their little sister. Q: How is your C-section recovery going? The biggest challenge for me is not being able to pick up my sons when they cry. My big boys…

Meghan Markle’s dad has badmouthed her, and she and Prince Harry are on the outs with the royal family since fleeing the kingdom with Archie, 8 months. That leaves one relative in the couple’s inner circle: Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland — except sources tell Us they’re not as close as they seem! When the actress, 38, was filming Suits in Toronto, Ragland, who lives in Los Angeles and works as a yoga teacher, “saw her only once or twice a year,” says an insider. Previous reports suggested Meghan and Harry would buy a place in L.A. in addition to their new Vancouver, B.C., home, making mother and daughter at least geographically close, but now, an insider says, “they aren’t getting a longer-term place in L.A.”…

Jamie-Lynn Sigler has a Belieber on her hands! After her son, Beau, 6, watched a video of Justin Bieber solving a Rubik’s Cube, he was determined to do the same. So the actress attached the puzzle to her keys for him to solve. “He’s obsessed,” says the star of Lifetime’s The Neighbor in the Window (premiering Feb. 8 at 8 P.M.). Sigler, 38, who’s also mom to Jack, 2 (with former baseball player hubby Cutter Dykstra), tells Us more. HER LUCKY STAR “I have a $2 bill folded into a star that my grand-father gave me before he died. I believe it’s lucky.” BOYS AND THEIR TOYS “Jack loves cars and trucks. I carry toy diggers so he can roll them around and use his imagination.” SAFETY GOGGLES “When I…

The Bigger, The Better! Ginger Zee knows how stressful it can be to cook in a box-size space. “I’ve lived in cities for so long — I’ve had tiny apartments with kitchens that are smaller than our island is now,” the ABC News chief meteorologist, 39, admits to Us. After moving to Palisades, N.Y., with husband Ben Aaron and kids Adrian, 4, and Miles, 2, the Michigan native finally has the room to experiment with new recipes. “I cook so much more because I have the space,” she says. “It’s pretty special.” And for Ginger, there’s no such thing as too many cooks in the kitchen! “I love inviting my kids [to help],” she explains. “They feel involved.” The star makes Us feel welcome too! YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED…

BY Héctor Elizondo 1. I was awarded a second degree in kendo [a Japanese martial art] in Japan in the ’70s. 2. After my early-morning stretches, I drink a glass of room-temperature water with half a lemon and 1,000 mg of vitamin C. Then I investigate the wildlife activity in my backyard while my cup of joe boils, and gather my newspapers — yes, newspapers. 3. I marvel at neighbors who seem to be taking their cellphones for a morning walk and never look up at [nature]. 4. The Father of the Blues, W.C. Handy, happened to catch my school performance, and the next thing I knew I had my first professional job, appearing on The Okey-Dokey Ranch House with Wendy Barrie. I was 10. 5. My guilty pleasure is…

Lesson learned! Sienna Miller’s daughter, Marlowe, loves going to set with Mom — unless the actress, 38, is filming scenes with other kids. When that happens, the Wander Darkly star admits to Us, the 7-year-old “gets jealous” and “furious.” When Miller isn’t working with pint-size thespians, Marlowe “sits with her headphones on by the monitor” and shares her “strong opinions” — which is why the Golden Globe nominee thinks her daughter with ex Tom Sturridge may have a future in directing. For now, the little one treats movie sets like a “big fun circus, [where she’s] treated like a queen,” Miller says. “She runs around in the makeup trailer wearing wigs and stealing things off the craft services table. It’s a nice place for a kid to grow up.” That…

While Loughlin and Giannulli remain in legal limbo, Huffman — who pleaded guilty to paying $15,000 to improve her daughter’s SAT scores — is happily moving on. After serving 11 days in prison in October and paying a $30,000 fine, the Desperate Housewives alum, 57, must now complete 250 hours of community service, and a source tells Us she’s right on track. “Felicity is humbled by each hour of giving back and is thankful to not be facing a trial that would’ve exposed her entire family [daughters Sophia, 19, and Georgia, 17, with husband William H. Macy] as witnesses.” For that, her support system is extremely thankful. “Bill’s extremely proud of how his wife handled this incredibly difficult matter,” says the source, adding that the experience has not only “changed”…

Lady Gaga had her fair share of bad romances in 2019. After calling off her two-year engagement to Christian Carino in February, then moving on in July to audio engineer Dan Horton for three months, the superstar was on the lookout for the right match. “Gaga does want to date again,” a source told Us at the time; but by December, she was still single — and talking to Carino again. “She has a habit of going back to her past men,” another source said. “She can’t seem to make up her mind.” LOOK WHAT SHE FOUND That was then, this is now. Gaga, a.k.a. Stefani Germanotta, 33, was seen kissing a mystery man in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, then spotted again with the same guy in Miami…

If you’re looking for a way to shed pounds but are allergic to the word diet, intermittent fasting may be just what the doctor ordered. According to registered dietitian and physician assistant Heather Struhl, the hot trend isn’t a traditional diet at all: “It restricts eating based on a particular time frame rather than limiting specific foods,” she explains. A-listers like Jennifer Aniston, Chris Pratt, Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman swear by it, so we asked Struhl to break it down for Us. BENEFITSI Intermittent fasting offers loads of health benefits in addition to weight loss, says Struhl: Folks can “burn body fat and speed up their metabolism,” in addition to “lowering high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar levels, as well as high cholesterol.” It all adds up to…

An organization as secretive as Scientology has many mysteries, but none so persistent as the question of the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige. The wife of controversial church leader David was last seen publicly in 2005, but Scientology expert Tony Ortega tells Us, “She’s alive and living at a Scientology compound in the San Bernardino National Forest.” (It was Leah Remini’s question — “Where’s Shelly?” — at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ 2006 wedding that led to her alleged punishment and eventual departure from Scientology.) Ortega says that, in 2005, Shelly, in an effort to shield people from her husband’s explosive temper, made staffing changes at Scientology’s Gold Base in Hemet, Calif., while he was in L.A. “When David returned, he was extremely angry about the changes,” says Ortega. “A week…

Fran Drescher knows how to make you laugh. She did it for six seasons as fish-out-of-water Fran Fine on The Nanny, and now she’s back on TV ready to do it again. On NBC’s Indebted (Feb. 6, 9:30 p.m.) she plays Debbie, a retired mother and grandmother who, along with her husband (Steven Weber), moves in with her daughter and son-in-law to save money. “I like representing my age group in a relationship that’s sexy, madly in love and very tactile,” Drescher, 62, told Us on Jan. 11. Reclining on a chaise beneath the Pasadena sun, she added, “I feel like we’re breaking walls.” Breaking down walls is something she’s done before. Drescher has been acting steadily for the past 40 years (her first credited role was in 1977’s Saturday…

The tribe has spoken, and the ultimate Survivor is… Jeff Probst! The host, who’s presided over the CBS series since its 2000 debut, is “still having a blast,” he told Us on the Fiji set of Survivor: Winners at War (Feb. 12 at 8 P.M.), in which 20 former champs vie for $2 million. He chatted with Us ahead of the season 40 premiere. Q: You said an all-winners season would never happen. What changed? I was wrong! Some winners said they’d never play again, and I took them at their word. We tried again, and people started saying yes. There was an abundance of riches. Q: Who was your unicorn? Amber Mariano. It’s been so long since she played, I thought there was zero chance. But when I called…

Downhill Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell costar in a movie that’s more fraught drama than laugh riot? Yeah, they do! The pair play a long-married couple who seriously reexamine their relationship during a horrible family vacation in the Alps. It’s surprisingly sobering. Promising Young Woman Try not to read too much about this incredible genre-twisting mind-bender that takes on toxic masculinity — and Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” Carey Mulligan has never been better as a woman confronting the traumas of her past. You’ll never guess where it goes from there! The Father And the 2021 Oscar race is on! The equally marvelous Olivia Colman and Anthony Hopkins are at the center of this heartfelt and deeply tender drama about a daughter trying to cope with her dad’s dementia. On the Record…
