On June 11, Amanda Bynes was spotted out in L.A. (right) for the first time since announcing in May that she was still engaged, going to therapy and working on her bachelor’s degree. During the outing, Bynes, 34, who’s sought treatment for mental health issues, got a tattoo on her leg that says, “See you on the other side.” POSITIVE PROGRESS Since December, the former child star has experienced myriad life changes: She debuted a face tattoo; announced her engagement to on-again, off-again love Paul Michael; spoke out about the parental conservatorship that’s been in place since 2014; and in March confirmed that she was pregnant. (Two months later, her attorney, David Esquibias, told Us she wasn’t pregnant). Amid that whirlwind, Bynes has been working hard on herself. “Amanda’s at…

If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime! That’s what critics may be thinking about Lori Loughlin, who, along with husband Mossimo Giannulli, finally pleaded guilty on May 21 to her role in Operation Varsity Blues and is now panicking about going to jail. Based on her plea deal, the actress is expected to serve two months (though it’s ultimately up to the judge), and is “scared to death of catching Covid-19, as the virus is ravaging the federal prisons in California,” says a source. “She’s met with the official who’s preparing her sentencing report, which the judge will use for guidance as to how long she’ll serve.” OUT OF HER HANDS Regardless of her fate, Loughlin has “expressed remorse,” says the source. Adds another source, she and…

FALLING HARD Us broke the news that the singer and the music manager were dating in 2011. STAR-STUDDED WEDDING McEntire (with Clarkson in 2019), Blackstock’s stepmom, was a guest at their October 2013 nuptials in Tennessee. CHEATING RUMORS Two months after their wedding, Clarkson publicly shot down reports that Blackstock was stepping out on her.

SHIFTING PRIORITIES A source says Clarkson became “crazy busy” with her duties on The Voice (here with pal Shelton) and her talk show. HOUSE FOR SALE Clarkson listed her $10 million Encino, Calif., home in early May. Her $7.5 million Tennessee spread is also on the market.…

Grab your tissues! Bryce Dallas Howard steps behind the camera for a new documentary, Dads (Apple TV+, June 19), which features interviews with famous funnymen like Jimmy Kimmel, Will Smith and Patton Oswalt, and heroic dads from around the globe. “We used to joke that we could call it Dads Cry, because all the dads are crying in it,” she tells Us. Of course, Howard knows a thing or two about a child’s bond with a father. The doc includes interviews with her own father, Oscar-winning director Ron Howard — and Bryce tells Us it was harder to get him to participate than you’d think! She takes Us behind the scenes. Q: This is your full-length directorial debut. Why did you want to make this film? I realized that there…

JENNIFER & JANE Opposites Attract Their star signs say otherwise, but Jane Lynch and Jennifer Cheyne are totally compatible! Cheyne, an Aquarius, “can look at a problem and see the solution instantly,” the actress, 59, tells Us, “whereas I’m a Cancer, so I’m [like], ‘Oh my God, what are we going to do?’” That’s just one reason the Glee alum is grateful for Cheyne, whom she dated years ago, then reunited with. “She’s just the best partner in the world,” says Lynch. “She’s a real gift.” JESSE & JUSTIN Countdown to Baby!

SHARON STONE The actress recently revealed that she was once struck by lightning while filling an iron with water. “I got picked up and thrown across the kitchen,” she recalled on a June 10 podcast. “I had to go get EKGs… for 10 days.” JARED LETO In March, the actor described his near-fatal fall while rock climbing at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas as “strange,” noting that the moment was “less fear, more matter-of-fact and slightly melancholy.” LEONARDO DiCAPRIO Ed Norton saved the actor’s life when they were both scuba diving in the Galápagos Islands for their 2016 doc on climate change, Before the Flood, and DiCaprio’s tank ran low on oxygen. AMY SCHUMER Hang 10? More like hang 41. When the comedian was a teenager, she received 41…

Introducing Hayden Panettiere 2.0. When the actress debuted a new public Instagram account on June 7, her first photo, set against the serene backdrop of a beach, portrayed a woman who appeared to be the picture of health and strength. Now, multiples sources tell Us, the leading lady — who in recent years has been more well known for her relationship troubles than her acting chops — is doing as well on the inside as she is on the outside: “She’s in a good place right now,” says one source. “She’s on the path to recovery.” Recovery, for Panettiere, 30, has primarily meant cutting loose from her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson, whom she began dating in August 2018, shortly after her split from Wladimir Klitschko, the father of her daughter, Kaya.…

Stars from the Bravo hit Vanderpump Rules are under fire for racially insensitive comments and actions toward the black community. On June 2, season 4 cast member Faith Stowers revealed that Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute had wrongfully reported her to the police for a crime she didn’t commit. A week later, Bravo fired Schroeder and Doute from the show, along with Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni, who’d been exposed earlier this year for past racist tweets. STRIVING TO DO BETTER Schroeder was also called out for saying in a 2017 episode of her podcast, Straight Up With Stassi, “I’m, like, really sick of everyone making everything about race.” The star — who Us exclusively revealed on June 13 is expecting a baby with fiancé Beau Clark — has since…

On the surface, Kelly Clarkson’s marriage to Brandon Blackstock seemed to be doing just fine. In a December segment of her talk show, she proudly revealed that she and her music-manager husband had a very active sex life. On March 27, she posted a sweet photo of Blackstock teaching their 6-year-old daughter, River, how to ride a horse while in quarantine on their Montana ranch. And on April 24, Blackstock wished the “Stronger” singer a happy 38th birthday in an adorable family video in which he gushed, “I love you more than you’ll ever know.” But if you look closer, the cracks were clearly beginning to show. Late last year, in a news conference for season 17 of The Voice, Clarkson admitted that she struggled with juggling her supersuccessful career…
