Step aside, Kate Middleton! Meghan Markle is the new queen — at least when it comes to popularity and fan mail, an insider exclusively tells Life & Style. “Meghan receives around 500,000 letters from fans a month and has dethroned Kate as the most popular royal,” the insider says. “She’s receiving so much fan mail that she’s hired her own assistant to help go through it all.” Meghan, 36, doesn’t know what to do with all the letters and gifts she’s receiving, and the insider says her fiancé, Prince Harry, 33, is arranging for them to be stored at Buckingham Palace. There will only be more gifts to find space for after the May 19 wedding — but the former Suits star is trying to get out in front of…

There wasn’t just romance in the air when Justin Bieber’s dad, Jeremy, said “I do” to Chelsey Rebelo in Jamaica on Feb. 19. With Chelsey expecting a baby girl this summer, there was also baby fever going around — particularly for groomsman Justin, 24, and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, 25. “Justin and Selena are talking babies now!” a source exclusively tells Life & Style. “They spent a lot of their time at the wedding playing with all the kids, and they both think it’s the perfect time to take their relationship to the next level.” Those children they played with included Chelsey’s daughter Allie, 10, and Justin’s little half-sibs Jazmyn, 9, and Jaxon, 8. And Selena was impressed by what she saw from her man. “Selena thinks Justin will make…

NYC Was the Only Place to Be Even after marrying LA-based Jen, Justin continued to keep his apartment on the East Coast and to call himself a “New Yorker.” “You can get stuff done in New York that you can’t in Los Angeles,” says the star (here in Manhattan last year). “If you wanted to get some milk and get your shoes repaired and drop something off at the dry cleaner, that’s an all-day adventure in Los Angeles. In New York, you can bang that out in half an hour.” Flirting? It’s a Fave Hobby Jen walked out of an LA premiere of Season 3 of The Leftovers because she didn’t want to watch Justin’s torrid love scene with co-star Carrie Coon. But his off screen closeness to the actress…

I just think it’s authentic.”…

Inside Kelly’s 40 LB. WEIGHT LOSS! She’s the new coach on The Voice, but all eyes are on the body. Kelly Clarkson has undergone an extreme slimdown in just a few months: In an Instagram photo she shared Feb. 27, she looked like a different person than the one viewers saw one night earlier, when the pre-recorded blind audition episodes of The Voice began airing. “Kelly looks like she’s lost 40 pounds!” says fitness coach Nadia Murdock, founder of Nadia Murdock Fit. “You can definitely tell there was a dramatic weight loss.” Inaugural American Idol winner Kelly, 35, has battled weight issues for years, especially since giving birth to daughter River in 2014 and son Remington in 2016. But she’s embraced her body type, telling Redbook last year that “when I’m…

It wasn’t her first brush with the law — but it was the most shocking. Heather Locklear, 56, was arrested on a domestic violence charge on Feb. 25 after a nasty fight with boyfriend Chris Heisser, also 56, at her Thousand Oaks, Calif., home, and she allegedly attacked three deputies who tried to restrain her. In an exclusive interview with Life & Style, Chris’ dad, Peter Heisser, reveals that despite reports Heather nearly bit his nose off, Chris (who also was arrested hours after the incident and charged with a DUI) is doing OK. “I think he hurt his leg jumping around, trying to get away,” says Peter, 81. “[Heather] didn’t bite his nose off, but she tried!” The troubled former Melrose Place star — who’s been arrested multiple times…

Kendall & Blake: COOLING OFF! They say distance makes the heart grow fonder — but that isn’t true for Kendall Jenner. Since her boyfriend Blake Griffin got traded from the LA Clippers to the Detroit Pistons on Jan. 29, the two have been on the outs. “She’s definitely going through a cooling-off stage with Blake,” an insider tells Life & Style. “She did take one secret trip to visit him in Detroit, but otherwise she’s mostly been in LA — where she’s been going out with her single guy friends.” The model-reality star and the five-time NBA all-star started dating last summer, and all seemed well until Blake, 28, got shipped off to Motown. Now Kendall, 22, doesn’t seem to know what she wants. “One minute she tells friends she…

He’s got a reputation as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. But on Feb. 26, Ryan Seacrest joined the ranks of Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer and other celebrities publicly accused of sexual misconduct. Ryan’s former E! stylist Suzie Hardy spoke to Variety, alleging that Ryan subjected her to years of unwanted sexual aggression, including grinding against her in his underwear, groping her private parts and slapping her butt so hard it left a welt. The next day, Ryan issued a statement claiming Suzie had tried to get money from him before going public with her charges, and noting that E! had already conducted a monthslong independent investigation — and cleared him. “I have no choice,” he said, “but to... deny the claims against me, remind people that I was…

If this performer wants to disappear, he heads to his very own private island in the Bahamas, which was a 40th b’day present to himself. “When I’m out there,” says the star, “I just feel like the only person in the world.” ANSWER: TYLER PERRY…

Michael Left Her High and Dry When ABC offered Kelly’s then-co-host Michael Strahan a job on GMA, he accepted — but never bothered to tell Kelly about it. Furious, she didn’t show up for work for four days. Instead of sticking up for her, Michael snidely said he “wasn’t surprised by her reaction.” Anderson Turned Her Down After Michael left, Kelly lobbied for her BFF Anderson Cooper to take his place. He was offered the job in November 2016, a source says, and took months to decide before saying no. “He’s the one that got away,” Kelly confessed. Regis Publicly Trashed Her They seemed close during the 10 years they hosted Live together, but last year Regis Philbin lashed out, accusing Kelly of turning against him after his 2011 departure.…

ON TV this week American Idol MARCH 11, 8 P.M., ABC For all the talk of American Idol’s struggle to sign up judges for a reboot, the music competition sure landed on a winning trio. Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan are full of chemistry and personality — and have trouble even staying behind the desk during auditions. Oh, and their judging’s impressive, too. Just when it seems that the panel is going to be nauseatingly enthusiastic about every singer, there are reality checks that lead to awesomely bruised egos. Fun and brimming with surprises, the series hits a high note once again. For the People MARCH 13, 10 P.M., ABC Starting your career is always tough. But the young lawyers in this new series face some extreme challenges:…
