“I STILL HAVE A CRUSH ON MADONNA AND I WOULD DEFINITELY FORNICATE WITH HER.” — MARILYN MANSON “I’M A HUGE FAN OF VIN DIESEL. IT CAME FROM ME WATCHING HIM MAKE A SPEECH ONCE AT SOME CEREMONY. HE WAS JUST SO SMART AND SO FUNNY…I JUST SORT OF FELL A LITTLE BIT IN LOVE.” — HELEN MIRREN “I LOVE BRAD PITT. I THINK HE’S AMAZING.

It looks like 2018 will be a rough year for Kate Gosselin. Kate Plus 8 only aired three episodes in 2017, and the reality of not having a steady TV paycheck is quickly sinking in. “Kate no longer has the income she once had from the show,” a source exclusively tells Life & Style. “The money is running out fast.” It isn’t cheap providing for 13-year-old sextuplets Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel and Leah and 17-year-old twins Cara and Mady. “Private school alone costs about $150,000 a year,” the source notes. On top of that, the twins are heading to college soon. So how does Kate, 42, plan to pay for it all? Before TLC came calling, she was a registered nurse. But falling back on her old gig isn’t…

Stepping Up Between the pose, the dress and the shoes, Jenna Dewan Tatum just about nailed her version of the emoji. Ruffle Reversal Close, but no cigar! Nina Dobrev had the right idea but rocked the ruffles on the top, not the bottom. Showstopper Red is definitely Nicole Kidman’s lucky color, because she took home an Emmy for her role in Big Little Lies while dressed like the emoji. This Is… Close! Mandy Moore got it almost right with this pose before the This Is Us Season 1 finale screening. “Sometimes you just gotta go dressed as your favorite emoji,” she Instagrammed. Mermaid Vibes Making a splash! Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi gave the…

The Gifted star Jamie Chung and her actor hubby, Bryan Greenberg, are two years into married life and loving every second of it — which is why they’re not ready for the next step. When Life & Style asked them about starting a family, Bryan noted, “It’s not top of the list at the moment. We are still newlyweds, so we are just really trying to enjoy the time we have together [and] create new experiences.” Jamie, 34, and Bryan, 39, say they do want to become parents — but for now, they’re happy babysitting: “I feel like everyone around us is pregnant,” Jamie told Life & Style while promoting their partnership with Braun. “It’s kind of crazy!”…

Spider-Man: Homecoming stars and real-life loves Zendaya and Tom Holland, both 21, are moving fast. “They’ve met each other’s parents,” an insider reveals of the duo, who began dating in April. “Tom is smitten and he’d be screaming his love for her from every rooftop if he could — but Zendaya won’t let him.” That’s not because the feelings aren’t mutual. “Zendaya doesn’t want their relationship to get analyzed [in the media],” says the insider, “so she’s trying to keep it out of the public eye.”…

Meghan Markle found her dream guy in Prince Harry, but she also lost a lot: her career, her home country and even a beloved dog she had to leave behind. “The whole transition has been tougher on Meghan than most people realize,” says an insider. “She’s had to make some huge, life-changing decisions.” But Meghan has secretly had someone very special to guide her every step of the way in recent months: her future sister-in-law Kate Middleton. Life & Style has exclusively learned that the pair have become fast friends — and have been enjoying under-the-radar nights out in London, where they can gossip about royal life and share secrets! “Kate has taken Meghan under her wing and is really looking out for her,” reveals a second insider, noting that…

The diva was back. As Mariah Carey took the stage in a series of glittering, body-hugging gowns at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for her holiday show, All I Want for Christmas Is You, on Dec. 14, audience members gasped. “Oh my God, she looks incredible!” one fan exclaimed, while another marveled, “She looks so good!” Mariah has shed a lot of weight — and a lot of personal baggage. “She’s had one of the hardest years of her life,” a source tells Life & Style, noting that in the wake of last year’s New Year’s Eve lip-sync debacle and critically panned reality show Mariah’s World, “she hit an all-time low and as a result she gained some pounds.” But in recent months, she’s slimmed down dramatically…

HUBBY NO. 1: THE WAITER In 1996, Jennifer met waiter Ojani Noa at a Miami restaurant where he worked. They wed in February 1997 and split 11 months later. “She made the choice of her career instead of me,” Ojani, 43, later said. “I was really hurt.” HUBBY NO. 2: THE DANCER J. Lo and backup dancer Cris Judd got engaged in May 2001, just three months after she split from Sean “Diddy” Combs. They wed in September but called it quits nine months later. Cris, 48, later said it was “tough to be in that limelight.” HUBBY NO. 3: THE SINGER She married Marc Anthony, 49, in June 2004, less than six months after splitting from Ben Affleck. But seven years later, it was over amid reports he was…

Hot and Heavy Between a shoulder-dragging Coach coat, thick sweatpants and chunky sneaks, it’s safe to say that Sabrina Carpenter’s jet-setting style is weighing her down. Lose a layer to slay! Fizzles the Sizzle Head-to-toe red can be hot, Bebe Rexha. Too bad the body-widening effect of that poufy MISBHV puffer and baggy pants pairing reads more fire engine than smoke show. Mix-and-Match Miss When it comes to style, Gwen Stefani marches to the beat of her own drum. But the loud combo of a camo L.A.M.B. x Burton coat and embellished tartan pants may make it hard for her to hear it. Sporty Spice Gigi Hadid nails athleisure-chic! Balancing out the volume of her H&M jacket with a fitted MISBHV half-zip sweater and striped Barbara Bui track pants creates…

Don’t Cazh It Down Tracee Ellis Ross would dazzle on a dime in a hot-pink $74 midi from her JCPenney capsule collection…if only the shapeless fit didn’t erase her curves and those laid-back kicks didn’t simmer the sheath’s shimmery pizzazz. Nix the Bells and Whistles Sorry, Cate Blanchett, but this Gucci number doesn’t strike gold! The stuffy high neck, chunky bow-tie waist and frumpy fit bulk up the star’s svelte physique. And those layered Fred Leighton necklaces? Sparkle overkill. Hike Up the Hem for Hot The skin-flashing cutout on Peaky Blinders star Annabelle Wallis’ fitted-on-top Emilio Pucci gown? Yowza! Its copper color? Spicy! Too bad the overly flowy skirt and floor-grazing hem drag the star and her style all the way down. A Technicolor Wrap? Yasss! Kat Graham is a…

Matt Damon insists he’s just a regular guy, living a down-to-earth life with his wife, Luciana, and their four daughters. Uh, not exactly. For one thing, he’s worth a fortune. For another, he’s pals with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and other A-listers. But Matt, 47, has never been one to go out clubbing, and he says when he’s not with his family, he’s focused on work. “If anybody wanted to photograph my life,” he says, “they’d get bored in a day. ‘Here’s Matt at home learning his lines. Here’s Matt researching in aisle six of his local library.’ A few hours of that and they’d go home.” “Success is not something I’ve wrapped my brain around.” — Matt 1972 BOURNE — ER, BORN — TO BE A STAR…

His custody battle with Angelina Jolie is super stressful, but Brad Pitt, 54, seems to be aging in reverse. He’s had some help, claims an insider, saying, “He went to a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon this year and got fillers and Botox and some eye work.” If so, New Jersey–based plastic surgeon Dr. Steve Fallek, who hasn’t treated Brad, thinks the results are impressive. “His forehead looks smoother, so most likely he got Botox,” he says. “He also looks to have had some filler in the cheeks and around the mouth to improve those lines, a laser or peel to improve skin texture, and maybe some filler in the lower eye area.”…

So long, sister! Sister Wives star Meri Brown has moved out of the Las Vegas compound she shares with Kody Brown and fellow wives Janelle, Christine and Robyn, Life & Style has exclusively learned. She’s relocated to Parowan, Utah, where she opened Lizzie’s Heritage Inn (named for her great-grandmother) on Dec. 13. “Meri wants to be financially independent,” family friend Kendra Pollard tells Life & Style, “and she wanted to leave Kody’s home.” Meri will still be on the show when Season 12 begins on Jan. 7, but her storyline will focus on her new life away from the rest of the polygamous clan. Meri purchased the property in October for $435,000 — with financial assistance. “Some of her relatives have known she’s wanted to escape from Kody for some…

When Jay-Z admitted to “infidelity” in a November interview with T: The New York Times Style Magazine, insiders thought his candor about his cheating ways was just what his marriage to Beyoncé needed. Not exactly. “Ever since Jay admitted to cheating, Beyoncé can’t stop thinking about it,” an insider tells Life & Style. “Jay thought once he came clean, she would forgive him, but instead it’s made things worse.” Her worries escalate whenever her husband of nine years, 48, is away for an extended stretch, as he was on his 4:44 Tour through most of November and December. “Beyoncé was at home with three children while he was out touring,” the insider notes, “and she was living in constant fear that he would cheat again.” Bey, 36, gave birth to…

CAILA QUINN Bachelor Ben Higgins definitely missed out by not picking Caila, who loves coming up with sweet surprises for new beau Nick Burrello. “I surprised him and put his name on a movie theater marquee,” Caila tells Life & Style. Aww! GRADE: A FETTY WAP The “Trap Queen” rapper is putting his money where his heart is. Fetty popped up at his ladylove Yaya’s Ridgefield Park, N.J., clothing-line launch party with $100,000, a gift to help her expand her fashion label. GRADE: A - WILL SMITH & JADA PINKETT SMITH Couples usually celebrate their 20th anniversary in style, but that’s not what Will and Jada have in mind. “We [were] like, ‘You know, it’s 20 years, what are we gonna do?’ ” said Will. “[Jada] was like, ‘We’re gonna…

On Dec. 18, The Voice Season 10 winner Alisan Porter, 36, announced on Twitter that she’d ended her five-year marriage to actor Brian Autenrieth, 39, father of her kids, Mason, 5, and Aria, 3. They quietly split back in March, and Life & Style has exclusively learned that she’s already found love again with dancer and choreographer Justin de Vera, 28. “They’ve been romantically involved since April,” a source reveals. Alisan and Justin (who’s worked with Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars and Madonna) have known each other for a while and were reintroduced by mutual friend and American Idol vet Adam Lambert. “They all went to Coachella together [in April],” the source says, “and things heated up there.” The singer and former child star (best known as the title character in…

a matter of slowly reducing your caloric intake, and your body will slowly start losing weight,” he tells Life & Style, adding that it’s a “safe, comfortable” way of shedding pounds when combined with regular circuit training and cardio. “I also recommend going into a steam room or sauna (15 to 30 minutes a day) to help sweat out toxins!” She famously gained 40 pounds for her Oscar-winning role in 2003’s Monster and was back to svelte in no time. But Charlize Theron was in her 20s then. Packing on and taking off weight for her part in the upcoming film Tully, which began production in 2016, wasn’t so easy. “This time around, I really felt it in my health,” the actress admits. “I was sick. I couldn’t lose the…

Awful New Year’s Show Mariah’s failed lip-syncing performance on 2016’s live Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest went viral. She later admitted she was “mortified.” Dissed by Her Ex In October, James Packer, 50, confessed that during his 2016 engagement to Mariah, “I was at a low point in my personal life” and called their romance “a mistake.” Parted Ways With Her Manager After months of fighting, Mariah’s outspoken manager of three years and onetime bestie, Stella Bulochnikov, left in November. One source claims she quit; another says Mariah fired her.…

Jennifer Hudson & David Otunga Asked in April if she had plans to marry her fiancé of nearly 10 years, Jennifer Hudson replied with a seemingly contented smile: “I’m not in a hurry. He’s not going anywhere.” Little did she know it would all explode just seven months later. In November, the 36-year-old singer filed an emergency order of protection against David, 37, and began a bitter battle over their son, David Jr., 8. “I am now living in fear for my physical and emotional safety and that of my son,” Jennifer stated in court papers (right). “I am afraid that David will cause me and my son David Jr. further harm unless he is restrained from doing so.” David firmly denied the allegations, and the order has since been…

Clue #1 Her net worth is more than $100M. Good thing, because this beauty says her fave food is caviar. In fact, a caviar-topped baked potato is how she likes to ring in birthdays! Clue #2 She’d never dream of covering her trademark mole. But the model likes to enhance other features with $22 Josie Maran blush, $52 Charlotte Tilbury eye shadow and $58 Guerlain foundation. Clue #3 Double dates with George and Amal Clooney? They’re regular occurrences for the fashion icon and her handsome hubby, who used to own side-by-side Mexican villas with the actor.…

Basic black cat-eye? Boooring! Today’s trendsetters are making a stunning statement with winged eyeliner in bold hues and funky finishes. “Avant-garde beauty looks are becoming more mainstream as women embrace being unique and fashion-forward,” says makeup artist Fawn Monique, who has worked with Hailey Baldwin and Kendall Jenner. “Plus, applying an unexpected pop of color or sparkle is like putting an exclamation point at the end of a sentence — it adds sharpness and definition, drawing attention to eyes for a standout statement.” Intimidated by getting a graphic wing just right? Monique suggests practicing the motion on your hand first, then if your wing gets a little wonky when drawn on the eye, dip a cotton swab in concealer and dab it over any mistakes. For more tips on achieving…

FOREHEAD “Her forehead, brow and eyes are all without wrinkles,” observes plastic surgeon Dr. Norman Rowe, “which suggests Botox injections to these areas.” Price tag: $600 per treatment. SKIN Plastic surgeon Dr. Ryan Neinstein thinks Paris’ “flawless” skin could be from vampire facials, in which one’s own plasma “is used to stimulate more robust collagen.” Cost: $1.3K. CHEEKS Skin care expert Dr. William Kwan notes that Paris, 36, “still has very good cheek volume, and her cheekbones look higher.” He suspects fillers, which cost $650–$1.3K. JAWLINE “The most notable change,” says aesthetics specialist Dr. Shawn Abrishamy, “is her softer jaw.” He says she may have had Botox or Dysport ($500–$900) in the masseter muscle (which is involved in chewing).…

After two pregnancies, my beauty advice is... Palmer’s Cocoa Butter on the belly. It works wonders. The time I was most starstruck was...when I almost ran into Gary Oldman at the grocery store. I looked up, realized it was him, and ran out shaking and sweating! The most I ever spent on footwear was...around $1,000 for a pair of velvet Dior limited-edition shoes. My guilty pleasure is... Crossroads, the vegan restaurant on Melrose. I’m not a vegetarian, but I eat less meat than I used to. They have this vegetarian burger that’s unreal. A star whose style I adore is...Rooney Mara. I loved her crazy red-carpet looks when she was promoting The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo . It was, like, glam goth and really original. The…

ANNA KENDRICK vs ERIN O’CONNOR The Right Hue Is It Anna is known for rocking bold designs, and this papaya Peter Pilotto midi is no exception! Her deep side part and chic hoops keep all eyes on the frock’s asymmetrical neckline and abstract chenille embroidery. Erin’s stark contrast and fussy clutch skew “trying too hard.” HOLLY ROBINSON PEETE vs SOPHIA BUSH Slay With Shots of Sparkle Why so plain Jane, Sophia? Going sans jewelry directs all attention to her Colton Dane jumpsuit-frock hybrid’s frumpy and lumpy midsection. Enter Holly: Tossing on a glitzy-glam $129 Stella & Dot layered necklace packs a fierce punch and directs the eye downward to the curve-hugging split hem. ASHLEY GREENE vs KATHRYN HAHN Ethereal and Elegant? Yaaas! Talk about #GoddessGoals! The pared-back fluid lines of…

Scott Disick used to pocket around $500K for each episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. But now that Kourtney’s ex is no longer a series regular, “his out-of-control spending sprees have left him scrambling for cash,” a pal tells Life & Style. Scott recently dropped $15,000 on sneakers alone, and his Instagram account is filled with snaps of fancy watches, fast cars and private jets. And it’s not just the KUWTK paydays he’s missing out on. “His appearance offers have slowly gone downhill,” notes another source. “Now Scott has to rely on social media posts for money. He’s still living a five-star life, but his income is getting lower and lower.” So Scott, 34, is pushing for a new source of income: another reality show. “He wants to make…

While some married folks would cringe at the thought of working with a spouse day in and day out, Dancing With the Stars’ Mark Ballas and his wife, BC Jean, say touring together in the folk band Alexander Jean makes their marriage stronger. “We flirt with each other onstage,” Mark, 31, tells Life & Style. “It keeps the relationship fresh,” adds BC (whose real name is Brittany Jean Carlson), 30. “A lot of people, I think, would drive each other crazy and say they can never work with their significant other, but for us, we actually work better when we’re together.” As perfect as their marriage sounds, the duo, who wed in November 2016, admit that they do bicker — but for cute reasons, like Netflix cheating. “Like, ‘Babe, you’re…

If the end of Anna Faris and Chris Pratt’s eight-year marriage threw you for a loop, you’ll want to buckle up for this: After just three months of dating cinematographer Michael Barrett, 47, Anna “wants to speed up her divorce from Chris so Michael can propose,” an insider reveals. “He’s told Anna he wants to marry her, but he’ll only propose once the divorce is finalized.” Still, Anna, 41, can’t push Chris, 38, too hard. “She has to be careful,” notes the insider. “The last thing she wants is to upset Chris, who could drag his feet in the divorce proceedings.” But Anna is keeping her eyes on the prize. “Anna’s plan,” adds the insider, “is to get married to Michael in 2018.”…

Want a Britney Spears–style flat tummy? Then invest in a stability ball — or two. Tony Martinez, who trained the singer during her Las Vegas residency, tells Life & Style that the 36-year-old gets her ripped look by incorporating the gym essential into workouts. To fire up the abdominal muscles à la Brit, Tony advises getting into a plank position with each forearm on a ball. After holding that position for 10 seconds, reach one arm straight forward. “If you do that 15 times on each side, you start feeling it,” he says, noting that he has clients perform two or three sets. “They start cursing; they start yelling at me like, ‘What the heck, man?!’ ”…

Alex Rodriguez made up his mind about Jennifer Lopez awfully fast. “He knew J. Lo was ‘the one’ just weeks after they started dating [in February],” says a source. “J. Lo was wary of his intentions at first, especially given his reputation as a ladies’ man. But he’s proven himself. They are so in love.” And he’s determined to make her his bride as soon as possible. In the days leading up to the holidays, Life & Style has exclusively learned, Alex picked out an engagement ring and was busy finalizing plans to propose. “He wants to start the New Year knowing Jennifer will be his wife,” says an insider. “He didn’t have to do it, but A-Rod asked Jen’s mom [Guadalupe] and dad [David] for permission to marry their…

The iconic symbols of opulence are now decorating the tresses of A-list stars! “Incorporating pearls into the hair imparts a luxe vibe to any updo while putting an edgier spin on the more elegant accessory,” says hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimmons, who’s worked with Shay Mitchell and Kendall Jenner. But since the ivory-toned gem can get lost in light-colored tresses, he tips to take cues from Kate, at left, for pearls that pop no matter your hair color. Simply pull locks into a high pony, twist the tail, then secure it to the back of the head by placing pearl pins (like L. Erickson Little Swarovski Pearl Bobby Pins, $28, saksfifthavenue.com) from the pony’s base down to its ends.…
