Coming clean! In a shocking new interview, Dean McDermott reveals how drugs and alcohol led to the demise of his 17-year marriage to Tori Spelling. “Alcohol made me feel good enough,” said the now-sober actor, 57. “I started feeling good enough until it got to a point where it didn’t — it ended up in isolation.” Dean was drinking a fifth of tequila every night and popping a handful of prescription drugs by himself, and his alcohol-fueled rages often left Tori, 50, and their children, Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 6, feeling petrified. “I have these five, six beautiful kids in my life,” said the former Chopped Canada host, who also shares son Jack, 25, with ex Mary Jo Eustace. “But I was so dark…

At her last Las Vegas residency show of the year, Adele shared how she planned to spend her nearly three-month-long hiatus. “I stopped drinking, but obviously now I’m ready to start again,” said the singer, 35, “because it’s my break.” Friends, however, worry that Adele’s making a pour decision. “The hope is she doesn’t take it too far and slide back into old bad habits,” says a source. “She’s come so far already.” Back in October, when Adele announced that she’d quit drinking, she admitted to being “borderline alcoholic” in her 20s, and has previously confessed that during the pandemic, she’d be “four bottles of wine in” by 11 a.m. “When Adele drinks, she can’t just have one. She doesn’t know when to stop,” the source notes. “She needs to…

A change of heart! Six months after tying the knot in Las Vegas, Chris Appleton filed for divorce from husband Lukas Gage on Nov. 13, citing irreconcilable differences. “They hadn’t dated very long before they decided to get hitched,” a source tells Life & Style. “In the end, Chris realized he and Lukas weren’t meant for each other at all. They wanted different things.” BFF Kim Kardashian, who’s been divorced three times, begged her longtime hairstylist, 40, to sign a prenuptial agreement before walking down the aisle with the White Lotus star, 28. The Skims mogul, 43, even offered to write the contract herself! “Chris and Lukas intended to get one,” admits the source, “but didn’t.” They did, however, work out a postnuptial agreement, signed and dated just a week-and-a-half…

Jamie Foxx seems to be living his best life. The actor’s recent Instagram posts include a plug for his critically acclaimed new flick, The Burial, a video of him hitting a sweet drive on the golf course, and clips of him and youngest daughter Anelise Bishop celebrating her 15th birthday at an epic party — complete with a professional DJ and a special performance by Chris Brown. One thing the Ray star, 55, didn’t document on social media? In November, it was announced that Jamie would no longer be hosting the Fox game show We Are Family alongside his older daughter, Corinne Foxx. Anthony Anderson and his mother, Doris Bowman, will take over instead. Sadly, it’s an indicator that Jamie still isn’t 100-percent better after reportedly suffering a stroke last…

Audiences first became enamored with Joanna Gaines a decade ago when Fixer Upper, the home-renovation show she starred on alongside husband Chip, began airing on HGTV. Aside from her farmhouse-chic style, the interior designer drew raves for her practical, levelheaded demeanor. But recently, the Magnolia empress has experienced some fundamental shifts. “I feel like I’m going through a midlife crisis!” Joanna, 45, shared on the This Morning Walk podcast on Nov. 8. “I’m not super emotional — Chip is the emotional one — but I have turned into something he doesn’t understand now. He’s like, ‘You cry all the time,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m just making up for the 20 years that I have been unemotional!’ ” While it might be a bit jarring for Chip, 49, as well as…

Keke Palmer was granted a temporary restraining order against ex Darius Jackson, as well as sole custody of their 8-month-old son, Leo, after the fitness instructor, 29, trespassed into her house on Nov. 5. “[He] threatened me, then physically attacked me — lunging for my neck, striking me, throwing me over the couch, and stealing my phone when I told him I was going to call the police,” the actress, 30, alleges. While there’d been “many instances of physical violence” during their two-year romance, Keke claims Darius became “even more unhinged, volatile and dangerous” after she dumped him in October. (He reportedly denies any wrongdoing.) “It is because of our son, Leo, that I was finally able to end my relationship…and escape the abuse,” says Keke. “He needs and deserves…

Looks like Robert Pattinson is going to be a dad! In recent weeks, his girlfriend of five years, Suki Waterhouse, has been spotted sporting what appears to be a baby bump. “Friends are buzzing that she’s pregnant,” a source says of the actress, 31. “But so far, she hasn’t said anything and neither has Rob. They’re both ultra-private, so it won’t be surprising if they want to keep the news to themselves for a while.” In February, Suki confessed that she “can’t wait” to have kids, and the actor, 37, has always wanted to be a father, too, says the source: “If they’re expecting, no doubt Rob’s pleased as punch.”…

Jeremy Renner knows he’s lucky to be alive after getting run over by a snowplow and breaking more than 30 bones.
