Since going public as a couple in January, Selena Gomez and The Weeknd have been super serious, engaging in lots of over-the-top PDA and jetting off together for a luxurious Italian getaway. But the relationship has hit a major speed bump. Selena, 24, recently caught her beau (real name: Abel Tesfaye) texting his model ex Bella Hadid — and Selena went ballistic, an insider exclusively tells Life & Style. “Selena was so angry,” the insider says, “she threatened to end the relationship unless Abel cuts off all contact with Bella.” The ultimatum isn’t going over well with The Weeknd. “Abel and Bella only speak occasionally, but he’s a very independent guy, and he won’t be told what to do by Selena. He finds her neediness a major turnoff.” Bella, 20,…

Kendra Wilkinson and her mother Patti’s relationship has been troubled for years, and in May Kendra admitted things between the two were “still very bad.” But now the women are taking steps toward a truce — with TV cameras rolling. “Kendra and Patti are doing a new show together,” an insider exclusively tells Life & Style, adding that it will be on WE tv, the network that airs Kendra on Top. “It’s basically a therapy show that will focus on Kendra and her mom working on their relationship.” There’s lots to hash out. Kendra, 31, has called Patti, 57, “sadistic” and accused her of selling stories about her. Patti, meanwhile, has lamented having to learn about Kendra’s second pregnancy from the media. “Kendra was OK never speaking to Patti again,”…

After Kanye West skipped the Grammys in LA despite his eight nominations, his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, explained it was because he had to be in NYC for his New York Fashion Week show three days later. But an insider exclusively tells Life & Style that the real reason Kanye, 39, was a no-show is that he’s still struggling with mental health issues three months after his November 2016 breakdown and subsequent hospitalization at UCLA Medical Center. His team, including wife Kim Kardashian, “didn’t feel Kanye was ready to attend the Grammys,” says the insider. Recording Academy president Neil Portnow confirmed that “medical concerns” kept Kanye from appearing. “At the end of the day,” Portnow said, “what we had heard was he just wasn’t in a place where he felt comfortable…

And then there were two. On Feb. 13, ABC made the surprise announcement that lawyer Rachel Lindsay would be the next Bachelorette (see box), a spoiler that let annoyed fans know she wouldn’t be making it to the final two. So now viewers know Nick Viall will give his final rose to either Raven Gates, 25, owner of an Arkansas fashion boutique, or Canadian special education teacher Vanessa Grimaldi, 29. Nick has called Raven “fascinating” and Vanessa “stunning.” The best word for the proposal that airs on The Bachelor’s March 13 finale? Hellish. During the final day of filming in November, Life & Style has exclusively learned, the former software salesman toyed with both women’s hearts — and tortured himself in the process. In one of the least romantic moves…

JOHN LEGEND Chrissy Teigen got a bit tipsy after the Grammys and needed help removing her jewelry. Thankfully, her husband swooped in to assist. And when Chrissy asked John if he was mad at her for having too much to drink, he responded, “Why would I be mad at you? You’re perfect!” No, you are, John! GRADE: A VITO SCHNABEL Vito never left Heidi Klum’s side when they attended a gala together in NYC. “He waited for her outside the bathroom and helped her put on her coat before they left,” says a witness of the supermodel’s doting boyfriend. “He was very attentive to her all night long.” GRADE: B+ CONOR MCGREGOR In November, Conor announced that he is expecting with his girlfriend since 2008, Dee Devlin. But his recent…

The Celebrity Stylist Says Sacrificing style for comfort? Not these celebs! “As the temperatures drop, trendsetters are wearing decorative hosiery that delivers warmth and amps up their glam game at the same time for a seriously sexy look,” says Cameron Silver, fashion director of QVC’s H by Halston line. And, he adds, with a variety of patterns available, stockings are incredibly versatile. “Studded stockings like SJP’s add rock-star edge to a feminine frock while Kim’s fishnet cutouts show alluring glimpses of skin to kick her sporty-sultry combo up a steaming-hot notch.” Silver’s tip to looking tight in the trend? “Allover patterns can add bottom-half bulk, so opt for stockings with vertical designs that camouflage flaws while pulling the eye up and down to elongate legs.” The Designer Says “Women of…

Supersize me” just got a whole new meaning on Rodeo Drive as fashionistas hit the streets sporting big sunglasses and even bigger bags. “Large frames are an easy way to amp up the cool factor of an outfit — plus, the bold sunglasses instantly pull focus to the face for standout style,” says celebrity stylist Natalie Saidi, who dressed Vanessa Hudgens in the oversize accessory combo at left. “And trading a quaint cross-body for a spacious tote helps balance out the statement specs while packing its own style punch.” Here, four fabulous combinations to effortlessly achieve #StyleStar status. 1970s Glam Aviators + Leather “Sepia-toned aviators and a brown leather tote create vintage vibes,” says Saidi. She suggests pairing the coffee-hued combo with an all-white outfit: a pencil skirt with a…

A fellow celeb I get mistaken for is... Jenny McCarthy. Maybe it’s the hair or just simply the name. It’s a mystery! My current passion is... renovating and designing. I recently helped design a room for the Dining Room by Marie Callender’s, a pop-up space in NYC. People could rent my room for an event and all proceeds went to Habitat for Humanity. It was a fun way to give back. The most I ever spent on an accessory was... for a Gucci bag at Barneys. But I had a $1,000 gift certificate as payment for a job, so I guess I didn’t really buy it? My first red carpet experience... I don’t remember specifically, but I’m sure I was like a deer in headlights. It’s so surreal and overwhelming,…

Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder has no desire to hear her biological clock ticking. “I am freezing my eggs this year because I don’t want to be pressured,” the 28-year-old tells Life & Style exclusively. Stassi split from boyfriend of more than two years Patrick Meagher last summer, but she’s in no rush to find a new guy. “I’d rather just be at home with my dogs, shopping online, than out on a date,” she says. Stassi wants a family, but she wants the freedom to do it on her own someday. “I do see myself, 100 percent, having children.” Marriage, however, is no guarantee. “I used to be a hopeless romantic who wanted to get married, but I come from a family of a lot of divorces. Marriage is…

All-You-Can-Eat Crab Legs Seth Meyers marveled at the size of his guest, a king crab from Norway (bravely held by chef Carlo Mirarchi), during a live cooking demo. This Meal Bites Back It seems there’s nothing Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi won’t eat. “This crawfish challenged me to a fight to the death,” she blogged. “Who do you think won?” Double Fisting Reese Witherspoon shared this shot of herself chowing down on chili crab in Singapore with the hashtag #GonnaNeedABiggerBib.

Talk about strange bedfellows! Single Caitlyn Jenner has found an unlikely mentor to help her mingle on the dating scene. At a pre-Grammys party in LA on Feb. 11, Caitlyn told actor Jon Voight “she’s ready to date again,” an onlooker tells Life & Style. Jon’s reaction? “He laughed and volunteered to her, ‘I’ll give you dating advice!’ ” As unlikely a pairing as they might seem to be, Caitlyn, 67, and Jon, 78, have politics in common: Both are staunch Republicans who support Donald Trump. “They bonded over slamming Saturday Night Live for mocking Trump,” the onlooker says. Talk eventually turned to Jon’s daughter, Angelina Jolie, who’s been locked in a custody battle with Brad Pitt. “Jon told Caitlyn, ‘She’s hanging in there, but I don’t really have any…

Lauren Conrad was glowing. At Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring 2017 fashion show in LA on Feb. 4, the Hills star-turned-designer wore an off-the-shoulder white lace frock over her baby bump and excitedly chatted about how pregnancy was affecting her style sense. “Anything I can fit into from my everyday wardrobe I am still wearing,” she told reporters. “I haven’t had to purchase many maternity pieces.” Lauren announced on Jan. 1 that she’s expecting her first child with musician husband William Tell, saying 2017 “is going to be the best year yet.” And she’s got another reason to be over the moon: She’s expecting a daughter, Life & Style has exclusively learned. “Lauren is extra excited to be having a baby girl,” says a source. “It’s a dream come true!” ALREADY NESTING…

Rachel Lindsay, 31, is eager to start her journey as the next Bachelorette, and viewers should expect fireworks. “She loves kissing and affection,” teases a source. But the outspoken Texas native isn’t just looking for fun. “She definitely wants to find a husband,” says the source. “Her perfect guy would be adventurous and funny. She never sits still and loves to laugh.” While she’s the franchise’s first black star, “Race doesn’t matter to her,” adds the source. “She’s open-minded.”…

Hold the rice! Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, who had planned to tie the knot this year, have put their wedding on the back burner. The reason? “They’re trying to have a baby first,” an insider close to Gwen tells Life & Style exclusively. “That’s their main focus right now. She’s determined to have another baby and carry it herself, even though Blake has said it doesn’t matter if they adopt or get a surrogate.” Gwen, 47, had been undergoing in vitro fertilization treatments for a year with no success, but she recently decided to halt the process, the insider says. “Physically and emotionally, it was just a lot for her. So she’s trying to get pregnant naturally for the time being.” That’s not the only issue delaying her wedding…

Fails to Take Flight Pairing the extra-long winglike sleeves of her Solace frock with sky-high cagey boots ends up overwhelming Serayah’s tiny figure, distracting from the dress’s body-hugging benefits. Groovy Gone Wrong We’re digging Bella Hadid’s ’70s-style sunnies and boots. But the chunky cowl neck, heavy fabric and baggy fit of her Céline dress create the illusion of bulk from neck to knee. Peace out to this style! The Bib Is a Bust Pops of oxblood from Olivia Munn’s Stuart Weitzman thigh-highs and satchel add serious drama. It’s just a shame the frock’s prim ruffled bib and shapeless form put out the flame. #WhiteHot Kaley Cuoco dazzles in this Elisabetta Franchi dress. The metallic design pulls focus up and down the body for insta-slim, while the sleek fit highlights an…

Short? Go Bouncy “Gretchen’s flapper curls are so elegant,” says Felix Fischer, the hairstylist behind this ’do. And since short hair is lighter, it’s perfect for springy coils that won’t fall flat as the night goes on. His how-to: Using a 1-inch curling iron, curl small sections of hair, alternately curling in toward the face and out away from the face. Then pin curls flat to the head and spray with hair spray; let sit 15 minutes. Unpin and brush through for bounce. Medium? Pick Bottom Barrels “Chic ’70s curls are perfect for shoulder-length hair since they rest right at the neck,” says hairstylist Gregory Russell, who did Lily’s style here. To do: Blow-dry hair using a round brush. Then separate hair into three sections and wrap each one around…

Hey Nick, YOU’RE REPLACEABLE! In the longest social media rant ever, Nick Cannon quit America’s Got Talent. Nick’s decision came after he says NBC executives threatened to fire him over racial jokes he made in a stand-up comedy special. I don’t think Nick’s jokes were wrong, but he was less than smart for blasting NBC on social media. Look, Nick, you’re replaceable. Nobody wants a sourpuss employee walking around infecting the place like a bad cancer. NBC needs to sign up a fabulous replacement like Marlon Wayans (inset, above)! The show needs a new edge, and Marlon is likable. Sorry, Nick. There’s no sweeter job than being on primetime TV, but you blew it! WHAT WOULD WENDY DO? So, exes Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose kissed on the lips at…

One topknot? Soo basic. “Tiers of top twists are the new youthful and laid-back way to sweep hair off the face,” says hairstylist Calvin Louis, who’s worked with Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. “And they’re quick and simple to create!” The caveat? “Casual is key — too ‘done’ and the look skews more crownlike than chic.” To do, he spritzes hair with a texturizing spray (we like Not Your Mother’s Double Take Dry Finish Texture Spray, $7, ulta.com) for grit, then secures a 2-inch middle section of hair into a pony and twists and loops sections of the tail into two or three knots or buns before pinning in place. Easy!…

Over the years, Jenny’s hair color has been everything from hot pink to dark brown to platinum blond. But on Instagram, the SiriusXM host took us all back to her roots. “Proof I was a real blonde at one point,” wrote Jenny, 44. Jenny’s tressformations are partially for the benefit of husband Donnie Wahlberg. “I think guys dig when their women change their hair,” she says, “because it may feel like they’re cheating on their wife with their wife, if that makes sense!”…

The next time you’re in Las Vegas, save your appetite for Caesars Palace’s Bacchanal Buffet. The 25,000-square-foot space, where you might spy Gordon Ramsay going back for seconds, is a paradise for the hungry diner.

In 2015, lonely Meri engaged in a six-month emotional affair with an online stranger, someone she believed to be a man named Sam Cooper. Her love interest was really a female con artist named Jackie Overton, though, and she later released (under Sam’s name) the explosive tell-all Almost Meri’ed, revealing secrets Meri told her — including that she “went mute for several years” because of Kody’s constant berating. Provocative photos she’d sent to “Sam” (like one of her suggestively eating a banana) were also published. Meri thought she’d put the ordeal behind her, but she was wrong. “There is still a big problem that she faces,” family friend Kendra Pollard tells Life & Style. “The person who catfished her claims to have compromising photos of Meri in the bathtub that…

Maybe it wasn’t such a bad romance! Now that Lady Gaga, 30, has found love with agent Christian Carino, her ex-fiancé, Taylor Kinney, has decided he never should have let her go. “He regrets calling off their engagement in July and has told people close to him that he’s made a huge mistake,” says a source. “He was devastated when he heard that she’s dating Christian.” The Chicago Fire actor, 35, has been reaching out to Gaga to tell her how much he misses her, the source reveals, leaving the singer conflicted. “Gaga still loves and cares for Taylor, but she’s trying to move on,” the source says. “She doesn’t know what to do.”…

HER NEW RIDE FOR HIS B’DAY How’s this for a good husband? For his own birthday, Alexis (whom Aly met on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and wed in 2003) gave his wife a present: a Tesla Model X. The high-performance electric car is a fave of celebs like Ben Affleck and Cameron Diaz, and starts at around $74,000! “Now what do I get him? ” pondered Alyson after the unexpected gift. ACCESSORIES ARE HIGH-END AFFAIRS Alyson is known as one of Tinseltown’s most down-to-earth leading ladies . But that doesn’t mean she isn’t a fan of the finer things.

Sheer Madness A peekaboo black bra under Rachael Leigh Cook’s Alice McCall dress would be sexy, if not for the fabric overload from a high neck, billowy sleeves and handkerchief hem swallowing her body whole. Fluffy Flop Featherlike frills creeping up the neck and sprouting on the bodice of Nicole Kidman’s Erdem dress would create bulk on even the slimmest of frames. Add the splotchy pattern and tiered hem and this frock is a busy #fail. Granny Panties? Pass! Black lace and colorful flowers that bloom over the bust? Sexy! Too bad Julianne Hough chose to wear hipster briefs beneath her see-through Yigal Azrouël dress. The panties create an unflattering boxy effect on her fit physique.

So long, nude lips! Shimmery metallic kissers are now reigning supreme on the red carpet. “Every girl loves a little sparkle, so why not add some to the lips?” asks Alex LaMarsh, who’s prepped the faces of Kim Kardashian and Sarah Jessica Parker. “A gold-enhanced pout adds instant flair, shine and dimension, taking any look from wallflower to superstar.” And whether it’s with a sprinkle of glitter, swirled in or layered on, the metallic shimmer reflects light onto the face to give skin a gorgeous glow. LaMarsh’s tip to trying the molten-mouth trend: Look for tinges that flatter your skin. “A golden shimmer complements complexions with some pink in them while a darker, bronze sheen enhances skin with warm, golden undertones.” For more #inspo on how you can get the…
