While he worked in Toronto, Ryan Gosling’s mind kept drifting back home to his girls. “I’m a lucky man,” the star of December’s La La Land gushed to Us of love EvaMendes, 42, and their daughters, Esmeralda, 2, and Amada, 4 months, at the Toronto International Film Festival September 12. “We couldn’t be happier. They are so sweet.” Now he’ll always be there — in sickness and in health. The duo of five years, who costarred in the 2012 drama The Place Beyond the Pines, quietly tied the knot earlier this year among a small group of family and friends, multiple sources tell Us. “Eva and Ryan have always felt like a married couple,” says a Mendes source. “They are infatuated with each other.” HEY, GIRLS Gosling is protective of…

I am just as comfortable in sweats and sneakers as I am in a dress and heels. Attitude is everything! 8. Even though I…

“I assume f lying alone with a grumpy toddler is the final level of SEAL training.” Tweeting about son Otis, 2, OLIVIA WILDE “The referees, every now and then. . . . They’re all under the age of 15.” On who he argues with at 9-year-old sons Darby and Sullivan’s soccer games, PATRICK DEMPSEY “I’ve been learning to say no. I’m a people-pleaser. . . . Even if I don’t like something, I’ll do it just to make a person happy.” On how she’s continuing to grow in her career, BRITNEY SPEARS “Thank you for giving me the sexiest porn star name.” Writing to husband Eric Johnson about her married name, JESSICA SIMPSON “When did we all forget to put our arms in jackets?” On the trend of draping coats on shoulders, BRANDI GLANVILLE…

MATTHEW & CAMILA As parents of three kids, Matthew McConaughey, 46, and Camila Alves, 34, prefer a crowd. “I love having family dates,” the actor told Us September 11 at the Toronto film festival premiere of his animated flick Sing. “They are my life, and I love when I can do something they love! That’s the best feeling.” EMMA & BRUCE Emma Heming Willis, 38, and Bruce Willis, 61, could not have asked for a better night September 15. “New York City in the fall, a concert at Radio City and Tony Be nnett,” he told Us at NBC’s Tony Bennett Celebrates 90 event. “This is our favorite date!” AMANDA & JOSH Bachelor in Paradise’s Josh Murray, 32, still makes fiancée Amanda Stanton, 26, blush. “It’s hard to look at…

Kendall Jenner is keeping her romances under wraps. Despite several September dinners with ex Harry Styles, 22, the model, 20, “refuses to get caught up with his drama,” says a Jenner pal. Instead, she’s focusing on A$AP Rocky, 27, who she’s been seeing for two months. At NYC’s Squares club September 15, they whispered closely before leaving five minutes apart — and ending up in the same black SUV outside!…

Assistant U.S. AttorneyAngela Valdes (Lela Loren) has spent the bulk of Power’s third season trying to smoke out a mole in her office. And in the NYC crime drama’s finale (Starz, September 25, 9 p.m.), Loren promises that the double dealer “gets uncovered!” Oh, and the single actress, 36, offhandedly says to expect a “little helping of death.” NERVES OF STEEL Loren’s graphic sex scenes this season — with married James (Omari Hardwick) and, later, creepy Greg (Andy Bean) — didn’t faze her. Or the crew. “They used to shoot Girls, so they don’t care,” she quips. “They’re respectful to the point of disinterest.”…

OPENS FRIDAY 9/23 Storks When it comes to snappy storytelling and winning characters, this animated movie — wait for it! — delivers big time. Storks, you see, don’t do the baby thing anymore. They only bring people packages from retail giant Cornerstore.com. Trusty Junior (Andy Samberg) has just been promoted when he’s hit with a crisis: His buddy Tulip (Katie Crown), the only human on Stork Mountain, activated the baby factory, and it produced a cute pink-haired girl. Now the two must set out and do an unauthorized drop without getting caught. If parents are looking for a deep, for-adults-only moral, they won’t find it. Writer and codirector Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) is more interested in a comedic romp in which storks realize their true destiny. Pretty fly.…

BRADLEY COOPER The actor, 41, um, debriefed FLOTUS Michelle Obama, 52, on Ellen DeGeneres’ show September 13: Before attending a 2014 state dinner (right, with then-girlfriend Suki Waterhouse), he decided to “eighty-six the underwear” because his tux was too tight! AL ROKER Commando in chief: The Today show coanchor had to ditch his skivvies in a White House bathroom in 2002. “I pooped my pants,” Roker, 62 — who blamed complications from his gastric bypass — said in 2013. “Not horribly, but enough that I knew.” CHRISSY TEIGEN & JOHN LEGEND Did all of him love all of her . . . at a presidential event? Asked on Extra in 2015 about “a public place you did it,” the model, 30, mused, “Probably the Obama thing?” A mortified Legend, 37,…

At the unveiling of Desiree Siegfried’s nursery, designed in secret by East Coast Creative’s Monica Mangin, waterworks ensued. “It just hit me,” says the bridal stylist, 30, expecting a boy with mortgage broker husband Chris, 30 (above, September 12), in October. “This is where our baby is going to be!” ROOM TO GROW Mangin channeled the Seattle duo’s love of the outdoors by filling tiles from a Lowe’s garden section with succulents and mounting them on the wall. “They just need misting once a week,” she says. DREAM BIG An accent wall penned by Manayunk Calligraphy holds quotes fromWinnie-the-Pooh and Where the Wild Things Are. Explains Mangin, “The theme is ‘You’re going to be amazing, little one.’” Adds the Bachelor alum, “We’re hoping for an adventurous boy!”…

MandyMoore didn’t see it coming. When she reached the last pages of her This Is Us script and That Moment, she says, “I was shocked!” The heartfelt NBC drama (Tuesdays, 9 p.m.) follows a disparate bunch: parents-to-be Rebecca and Jack (Moore and MiloVentimiglia), married dad Randall (Sterling K. Brown), fed-up TV star Kevin (Justin Hartley) and unhappily overweight Kate (Chrissy Metz). But the coda of the September 20 premiere reveals that Rebecca and Jack’s scenes were set in the ’70s — and they are the parents of twins Kevin and Kate and (adopted) Randall. Moore, 32, and Ventimiglia, 39, invite Us into their TV family. Q: This Is Us’ trailer scored 17 million Facebook views in three days! When did you know this was a rare gem? MV From page…

La La Land As if Ryan Gosling needs any more girls swooning over him. He and Emma Stone sing and dance their hearts out in a rich and wonderful musical about the pursuit of romantic and artistic dreams. They’ll make audiences laugh, weep and feel like they’re floating on air. Arrival Aliens have invaded Earth, but that’s not the point. This sci-fi pic focuses on the personal struggles of a linguist (Amy Adams, above) chosen to communicate with them. So exquisite and brilliant, it needs to be seen again.

Brad Pitt is an executive producer. Nocturnal Animals Leave it to designer turned…

Cheryl Hines’ leather Rag & Bone tote is ready for international adventure. “I have my passport in case someone wants to whisk me off to Paris,” she jokes. “I could live out of this bag, easily.” The star of Fox’s Son of Zorn (Sundays, 8:30 p.m.), wed to activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 62, shares the must-haves along for the ride. THE WHOLE TOOTH “You’ll find a lot of dental care in my purse. I love having fresh breath!

OPENS FRIDAY 9/23 TheMagnificent Seven A remake of the 1960 Western should have been rollicking fun — not a ho-hum slog that falls short of being magnificent. In a dusty town, a sinister industrialist (Peter Sarsgaard) is sending folks to early graves. That’s why a desperate local (Haley Bennett, a bright spot) asks a warrant officer (Denzel Washington) to round up some outlaws to defend their land. He does so, recruiting everyone from a wily gambler (Chris Pratt) to . . . well, the other five guys are too indistinguishable to register. The movie moseys instead of moves, as the guys take too long to prepare for that climactic (and only mildly satisfying) shootout. In an age when Quentin Tarantino has given the genre a thrilling makeover, this formulaic effort…
