FKA twigs was finally ready to share her story. On Dec. 11, the 32-year-old singer (born Tahliah Barnett) filed a lawsuit in L.A. accusing ex Shia LaBeouf of sexual battery, assault and emotional distress. In the paperwork, FKA detailed disturbing stories about their tumultuous year-long romance, including one incident in which LaBeouf, 34, woke her up by choking her and another in which he knowingly gave her an STD. SPEAKING OUT In response, LaBeouf, who has struggled with alcoholism and been arrested in the past for assault and disorderly conduct, claimed that many of the allegations made against him “are not true,” but agreed to “accept accountability” for his actions. FKA, however, says she wants other victims to know they’re not alone. “My second worst nightmare is being forced to…

Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock’s divorce is getting uglier by the minute. Weeks after being granted primary physical custody of their kids, the 38-year-old is claiming that her estranged hubby, 44, and his management team — who she worked under for 13 years — defrauded her out of millions by charging her outlandish fees. (As previously reported, Starstruck Management Group alleged Clarkson owes them $1.4 million.) The singer, however, is not giving in so easily. According to court documents, she’s seeking all the fees she paid over the years.…

George Clooney has said that his latest starring-and-directorial effort is like Gravity meets The Revenant. He’s not wrong in terms of plot and ambitious cinematic scope — but his film can’t match those classics’ harrowing, edge-of-your-seat quality. Instead, this is an ultra-sobering post-apocalyptic account of an ailing scientist left behind in a frozen Arctic station to help his peers make a new start in space. While attempting to warn communications officer (Felicity Jones) and her shuttle crew to not return to Earth because of its inhabitable state, he happens upon a young girl stowaway. The drama toggles between the survival on land and in space, with the former the more captivating arc. It’s also not quite as deep thematically as it aims to be. Still, what a thrill to see…

“I’m like the little Energizer Bunny. I’m just recharged by the excitement of being able to still be active and to still be able to create stuff and to be still in demand.” On keeping busy DOLLY PARTON “He’s a very good writer but his memory is…”Joking about how Barack Obama got his story about her a “little bit wrong” in his new memoir, A Promised Land MERYL STREEP “I want her to have compassion. I don’t want her to ever have the mentality of, ‘This doesn’t apply to me.’” On teaching daughter Kulture, 2, about privilege CARDI B “She married an actor, so she had to think the weirdness would come out at some point.” On wife Sofía Vergara’s reaction to his blue mohawk JOE MANGANIELLO “My hair is some sort of reflection for my…

SIA The Aussie claimed LaBeouf “conned” her “into an adulturerous relationship.” She also added that FKA’s story was “very corageous.” MATT HEALY Following the reveal, the 1975 rocker called his girlfriend of less than a year a “legend, icon and [love of my life]” in an Instagram post. OLIVIA WILDE The actress and director showed her support for the Brit on social media, three months after LaBeouf exited her upcoming Don’t Worry Darling movie. MANDY MOORE “I’m… grateful for your courage, fortitude and vulnerability,” said the This Is Us star, who was once in an alleged abusive relationship herself. TESS HOLLIDAY “I know the fear, I know the shame, but I know the light on the other side,” shared the model, who’s a victim of sexual assault.…

Chadwick Boseman’s final performance — as a brash, ambitious and hot-headed trumpeter — is his most magnificent. On a 1927 day in a Chicago recording studio, Boseman’s Levee and three bandmates await the arrival of a blues singer known as Ma Rainey (Viola Davis). It’s obvious from the outset that there’s tension between Levee and the others; he knows he’s got the goods and naively believes that the head of the music company wants to record his compositions. Boseman plays the role as a simmering volcano, pushing everyone to the edge with his bravado until the inevitable eruption. Underneath, he admits he still has scars to bear. This adaptation will hold up as a testament to Boseman’s immense talent. MR…

JOEL & NICOLE Marriage Milestone On Dec. 11, Joel Madden and Nicole Richie celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. According to the House of Harlow 1960 designer, the secret to her long-lasting marriage with the Good Charlotte rocker, 41, is sharing the same values. “[Being] with somebody else who has the same goals as you is a really fun way to live,” Richie, 39, previously told Us, adding: “It’s nice doing the journey of life together.” HEATHER & TAREK Dressed to Impress It looks like bride-to-be Heather Rae Young is in full planning mode! On Dec. 9, the Selling Sunset star, 33, was spotted dress shopping in L.A. (inset) for her upcoming wedding to Tarek El Moussa. Shortly after their July engagement, the Flipping 101 star, 39, told Us that they…

Despite apologizing and taking responsibility for her toxic workplace allegations earlier this year, Ellen DeGeneres is still having problems bouncing back. A recent report claims that the TV host is struggling to book A-list guests on her daytime talk show and is losing ratings and advertisers as well. Making matters worse, filming has been on pause ever since DeGeneres, 62, tested positive for Covid-19. While it seems she’s hit rock bottom, a source insists that the show is not “suffering” and that DeGeneres is “focused on leading with kindness even during hard times.” Adds a second insider says: “This horrible experience has opened her eyes to what’s important.”…

Johnny Depp’s courtroom woes are far from over! Not only is the actor, 57, gearing up for an appeal in his U.K. libel case — in which he was labeled a “wife beater” — but he’s also preparing for a volatile court battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard. (Depp filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit after the actress, 34, detailed her experience as an alleged abuse victim in a 2018 op-ed.) And according to a new report, this case — which is set to begin in Virginia in early 2021 — could get a whole lot uglier than its British counterpart. The reason? Depp will be forced to turn over all communication he’s had with former costars Angelina Jolie, Marion Cotillard and Keira Knightley, whom he allegedly had romantic relations…

Ashley Tisdale never thought she’d venture into reality TV, but when she was offered the opportunity to be a panelist on The Masked Dancer (Fox, Dec. 27), she couldn’t say no. “I love The Masked Singer [and] I have a dance background,” the star, who’s currently pregnant with her first child, tells Us. “My baby gets to experience all this amazing music and performances!” NOT AN EASY TASK Although she and judges Brian Austin Green, Ken Jeong and Paula Abdul have a blast — “I can’t stop laughing,” says Tisdale — the show’s extremely hard. “The worst guesser is definitely me,” she admits “I [am] shocked every single time [a celeb is revealed]!”…
