If Britney Spears has her way, she’ll soon be headed down the aisle with her “Slumber Party” video co-star-turned-beau, Sam Asghari. “She’s ready to marry him,” an insider says of the duo, who have been dating since November. “Britney is even talking already about wanting to have a baby with Sam.” And Sam is completely on board, the insider adds: “He’s in love with Britney.” But the smitten duo’s plan can’t proceed until they clear a major legal obstacle: Britney’s court-ordered conservatorship, under which her dad, Jamie, oversees Britney’s every move. The legal arrangement has been in place since the singer’s breakdown and psychiatric hold in 2008. Jamie, 64, “isn’t thrilled that Britney wants to move so quickly with Sam,” the insider says. “If Britney has to, she’ll go to…

The Long and the Short of It Five-foot-2 Eva Longoria was dwarfed by 6-foot-2 (plus heels!) model Karlie Kloss at an NYC event. Looking Up to the Jenners Standing a mere 4-foot-7, famed sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer made 5-foot-10 Kendall Jenner and her 5-foot-6 sister, Kylie, look like giants at a party. Modern Mismatch A 7-foot-1 Shaquille O’Neal towered over 5-foot-2 Sarah Hyland on Nickelodeon’s Lip Sync Battle Shorties . On Bended Knee Ben Affleck, who’s 6-foot-4, had to lose some altitude to pose with his 5-foot-2 Accountant co-star Anna Kendrick.…

When Brad Pitt watched his estranged wife, Angelina Jolie, address their relationship and custody battle in her first post-split sit-down with BBC News in Cambodia, he was in disbelief — her quest to repair her image has left him furious. “He feels like the entire interview was Angie’s attempt to change the narrative that she was to blame for their divorce,” an insider says. “Brad didn’t think Angie was being genuine at all. The dramatic pauses, the tears — he told his friends that he thought she was acting.” Brad, 53, also raised an eyebrow when Angie, 41, used the word “family” six times during the seven-minute interview. He found it telling, the insider says, that Angie — who had initially gunned for sole physical custody — referred to Maddox,…

If you ever run into Amanda Bynes, you can forget about snapping a photo with her. The former actress, 30, who was once known for her wild-child ways and bizarre selfies, has been quietly taking classes at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in LA and is now doing whatever it takes to keep a low profile. “The one thing that Amanda can’t stand is when people take her picture,” says a pal. “Once I was with her at a Chinese restaurant after class and we were like, ‘Let’s all take a picture together!’ She was like, ‘No, I’ll take a picture of you guys. I don’t want my picture online.’ ” The only time Amanda will pose for pics, the pal says, is if she’s taking a selfie…

She bought him a $3,423 outfit. They dined on her father’s homemade Greek olives. Her whole family adored him — even her nanny, Raquel. As Corinne Olympios passionately kissed Nick Viall outside of her parents’ Miami high-rise, it seemed her perfect hometown date couldn’t have a more perfect ending. But the day didn’t actually end there for the duo. Life & Style has exclusively learned that — unbeknownst to the woman Nick, 36, went on to propose to, or even the Bachelor production team — Corinne and Nick hooked up after filming wrapped that night. And now that she’s been booted off the show, the season 21 villain is ready to tell all. “Corinne is pissed that she got sent home after she introduced Nick to her family and spent…

FASHION AT HER FINGERTIPS When it comes to handbags, Haylie’s got the hookup. The star is good friends with Donatienne designer Nikki Erwin — Haylie even cooked the food for one of Nikki’s fall launch parties. And Nikki has presumably given her pal a sweet discount in return, because Haylie’s been spotted with many bags from the brand, including the Rebecca Tote ($495) and a Brit Spring Mist Clutch ($325; shown)! ORDINARY FOOD? AS IF! When Haylie wants exotic eats, she heads to Animal in LA. “I feel like an animal when I eat here!” she jokes of the restaurant. “Their menu is filled with things like pâté, pig ear [shown served with egg] and tongue. Plan to step outside your comfort zone!” FAMILY VACATIONS IN PARADISE Who needs a…

Beware of the Bulk Effect Looks like Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio missed the memo: The key to rocking a tights-and-shorts combo is staying sleek! Her boxy Emanuel Ungaro shorts and capelike jacket add heft. Proportion Distortion Model Sofia Resing’s tiny Topshop shorts sizzle, but adding a puffy Moncler coat makes her look top-heavy. Also dragging down the style: The over-the-knee boots are so slouchy, they give calves an unnatural shape. Not the Cat’s Meow Leather Daisy Dukes and sleek booties? Rawr! Too bad Kate Moss opted for a busy patterned Coach sweater and thick moto jacket that add bulk to her trim torso. And that thick neck-cropping choker is not helping. Ditch the Fringe Sienna Miller is cool in Chanel! Pairing a white tee with hammered-leather shorts and black…

Hollywood’s hottest are striking a balance between sweet and sultry by stepping out with girlie-chic pink lids and vampy red pouts. “Going easy on the lids and bold on the lips is a fast way to conquer a sexy dramatic look while still looking glam,” says celebrity makeup artist Jasen Kaplan, who’s worked with A-listers like Eva Longoria and Kelly Osbourne. Kaplan’s key to nailing the trend: The powerful lip stands out against light hair and subtle eyes, but those with dark brown, red or black locks should opt for a lip hue that’s slightly lighter than their hair. “If the lips and hair are too close in color, it can overwhelm the skin, leaving the face looking washed out,” Kaplan says. And on the eyes, he suggests, opt for…

Selena Gomez is in love with The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye), but her mother, Mandy, isn’t on board, a source says. “Mandy has heard the dirty and drug-related lyrics to Abel’s songs and she doesn’t approve of Selena hanging out and partying with him,” says the source, adding that Mandy is pressuring Selena to dump the singer. “Mandy has met Abel and thinks he is respectful in person, but she doesn’t think he’s a good influence on Selena.” Mandy, 40, isn’t the only one seeing red flags in the romance between The Weeknd, 27, and Selena, 24, who last fall spent 90 days in a rehab facility for what she claimed were lupus-related panic attacks and anxiety. “A lot of Selena’s friends and family fear that she’ll go down…

Joe Giudice will mark one full year in the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, N.J., on March 23, and his absence is taking an emotional toll on his wife, Teresa. “I miss him every second of the day,” Teresa told Life & Style exclusively at the Rookie USA Fashion Show in NYC. “There’s not one minute that goes by that I don’t think about him.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 44, served an 11-month sentence on fraud charges in 2015, and three months after she came home, Joe, also 44, began his scheduled 41-month stint. So how is Teresa dealing with raising their four daughters, ranging in age from 7 to 16, during Joe’s absence? “I’m being strong,” she says. “My daughters need me.” Though there’s speculation…

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck separated two years ago, but since then the pair have appeared more couple-y than most newlyweds. Whether it was going to church and the Brentwood [LA] Farmers Market with their kids on Sundays, enjoying dinner out with friends or even vacationing together, Ben and Jen, both 44, have rarely been apart since announcing their split in June 2015. But that’s all changing. After diligently trying to fix her 11-year marriage, the Alias star has finally started dating again and told Ben it would be best for the family if he didn’t stay at their house anymore, sources exclusively tell Life & Style. “Ben moved two doors down and has to call in advance if he wants to come over,” says a source. “Now that Jen…

TV viewers won’t have to go long without Corinne’s wacky pearls of wisdom. The season 21 alum is eyeing both a spin-off series and an appearance on Bachelor in Paradise, Life & Style has learned. “She’s been busy,” pal and fellow Bachelor Nation villain Chad Johnson (who recently launched realchadjohnson.com) tells Life & Style, adding, “I’m sure Corinne will be in Paradise. I know she’s considering it.” Outrageous Corinne may not have to share the spotlight, though. “She’s the most talked-about contestant, so producers are desperate to sign her up for her own reality show,” reveals a source. “Corinne dreams of becoming as big as Kim Kardashian.”…

Kandi Burruss and husband Todd Tucker almost didn’t make it to Hawaii for The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s cast trip last fall. “#HawaiianAirlines just kicked us off for no reason,” the songwriter posted on Instagram after she reportedly became irate when her plane’s flight crew took her boarding pass and failed to return her baggage claim ticket. “This is so crazy.” But that was nothing compared to the craziness that awaited her once she finally arrived in the Aloha State. As RHOA fans have witnessed, Kandi, 40, and co-star Porsha Williams, 35, have been busy sparring over sexuality, each calling the other a lesbian after the duo shared a kiss in a club two years ago. So Kandi decided to settle the argument once and for all by bringing proof…

BEN SEEWALD Now that Ben and wife Jessa have welcomed Henry Wilberforce, a baby brother for their 15-month-old son, Spurgeon, Ben is easing Jessa’s parenting workload by single-handedly taking on diaper duty. “He’s gotten so good, he could do it with his eyes closed,” Jessa marvels about her doting husband.

The Celebrity Stylist Says “Celebs are always looking for new ways to stand out, and what better way to turn heads than by taking cues from the extravagance and ultra femininity of Old Hollywood stars and slipping into chic white fur,” says stylist Dawn Del Russo, who has worked with Lucy Hale and Hayden Panettiere. “Not only is it perfect for adding warmth to a more skin-baring ensemble, but depending on the style of coat chosen and how it’s worn, it can elevate any look!” A fluffy coat that falls lightly off the shoulder (like Andra’s) adds a sultry hit to an elegant gown, while a soft off-white cropped jacket (like Kim’s Givenchy) lends edge to flirty lace. Del Russo’s key to flattering in the furry fabric: “Fur coats can…

Model-off-duty style just got elevated from same-old to seriously sweet! The latest A-list fashion obsession: sassy mules that pair perfectly with miniskirts. “Sporting slip-ons instead of the basic boots that dominated winter adds an element of surprise that’s fresh and fun,” says celebrity stylist Christina Pacelli, who has dressed Orange Is the New Black beauties Laverne Cox and Jackie Cruz. “And pairing the shoes with a short hemline makes legs look endless — plus, a mini in the winter stands out from the crowd while adding an extra dose of sexy.” Here, four killer combos. Girlie Pink + Furry “The Barbie-inspired combination of a pale pink mini with furry bubblegum mules epitomizes femininity,” Pacelli says. And wearing with a cropped white cowl-neck sweater and a beige duster helps spotlight the…

Right now I’m lusting after... a colored leather jacket. There’s an Acne one I saw in green ($1,650) at the store the other day. I’m a pretty simple dresser, so I like the idea of having something I just drape over my shoulders to feel a little more dressed up. The time I was most starstruck was meeting... Tina Fey. That was huge; I love her. My boyfriend [musician Taylor Goldsmith] says she’s the only thing on my Netflix. I live for 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. My favorite vacation was when... we went to Barcelona [Spain] over the summer and stayed in a friend’s apartment. That, to me, is exactly the way I want a vacation to go — I like to keep it a little more organic…

Nose rings and ear cuffs? Yesterday’s news! Trendsetters have found new body real estate to bedazzle. “Lips are sensual and flirtatious, making them ripe for accessories,” says celebrity stylist Eric Himel, who’s worked with Kristin Cavallari and Jenny McCarthy. And more celebs are trying the look because there’s no need to actually pierce the pucker — “clip-on” rings (like Topshop Twist Faux Lip Ring, $12, topshop.com) deliver the edge without the commitment. Himel’s key to sexy? “The bling is best positioned at the center, fullest part of the bottom lip for a sultry, pouty look.”…

Lindsay Lohan hasn’t appeared in a big-budget feature film since 2013’s Scary Movie 5, and now the notoriously troubled actress is going to extremes to try to get work. “Lindsay is so desperate to get back into film,” says a source, “that she’s actually offering to work for free.” But for Lindsay, 30, who’s starred in bombs like The Canyons (which grossed only $56,825 at the U.S. box office), even that offer might not be enough to get Hollywood’s attention. “So far,” says the source, “no one’s really interested.” LiLo is also striking out, the source says, at getting her former co-stars on board for a Mean Girls sequel. But she isn’t giving up. “She’s still convinced,” says the source, “that she’s a movie star and can turn this around.”…

“His main concern is himself.”— Kourtney on Scott “All the haters are just jealous, so they’re trying to bring me down.”— Scott Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian aren’t together. But Kris Jenner still has a special place in her heart for the father of her three grandchildren. “We knew Scott when he was 20 years old,” she says. “He’s one of my kids.” That kid is about to drop a bomb on the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan. Strapped for cash and feeling alienated after being booted from the family’s January Costa Rica trip, he’s readying a tell-all book. And, from cocaine use and cheating scandals to pregnancy scares and a family member who’s secretly gay (not Caitlyn!), Scott has a lot of fodder after 10 years spent in their inner circle.…

Scott Foley Jen met Scott when she guest-starred on Felicity in 1998, and they wed in 2000. Three years later she filed for divorce. Scott, now 44, said their breakup wasn’t due to infidelity. Adds Jen, “He’s a really good guy, and we just imploded." Michael Vartan Her divorce was barely official when Jen got together with Alias co-star Michael. The romance didn’t last, but the pair remained pals after what the Arrangement star, now 48, describes as a “benign” breakup. “Jennifer and I were best friends first, during and after,” he said. Ben Affleck Jen met Ben on the set of 2001’s Pearl Harbor , and they worked together again on Daredevil…

Style Confusion Lace, flowers, ruffles, oh my! Rachel Zoe may be the queen of boho, but overdosing on all the style’s classic accents and adding them to a black dress? More witchy than wow. Oversize #Overkill Karolína Kurková’s legs look lovely in this mini. Too bad the billowy frock’s big print and ruffles cause the eye to scan from side to side for a widening effect. Even a huge belt can’t rein it in. Wilting Woes Between the thin straps, loose fit and braless styling, Shailene Woodley’s Valentino is literally hanging by a thread. Add in the drab weeping florals and this dress is really dragging her down. Flower Power Olivia Culpo blossoms in this marigold-adorned Kate Spade midi! Sheer sleeves and a plunging V show flashes of skin while…

Two-Toned: Sexy “Hilary wanted to be bright on the ends while steering away from super-bright roots, so we darkened her roots to get this effortless color,” says Nikki Lee, the colorist behind Hilary’s two-toned tresses. The way to create this look at home: Choose a dye two to three shades darker than the rest of the hair (like Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Color Crème in Light Nude Brown 613 ($7, target.com). Apply the dye from the roots to just below eye level. Let process for 25 minutes, then rinse. Tipped: Sassy “The gradual brightening toward Gina’s tips replicates the way the sun naturally lightens,” says colorist Mike Petrizzi, who has worked with Mandy Moore and Jena Malone. And the darker roots allow for less upkeep! How-to: Take 1-inch sections of hair…

Before: Carrying Baby Weight Shortly after giving birth to her second child, Penélope was confident enough to wear a bikini but still working to get her body back. Now: Skinny and Stunning! It’s hard to believe Penélope is a mother of two based on the physique she showed off at a recent film premiere. In recent years, Penélope Cruz has had two babies with her actor husband, Javier Bardem, but you’d never know it from looking at her. The Oscar-winning actress is as svelte and stunning as ever, with toned muscles and curves in all the right places. After both pregnancies (son Leo was born in 2011, daughter Luna in 2013), she lost weight quickly with the Mediterranean diet. Penélope, who’s not a fan of traditional gym workouts, also did…

So, Selena Gomez is reportedly sick of being defined by her famous boyfriends and wants fans to stay out of her personal life. LOL! Is she serious? Selena has no one to blame but herself. She has 110 million Instagram followers. Selena invites her fans into her life every day by showing them where she eats and what she eats, who she’s dating and where she vacations, etc. If this young lady wants a private life, she just needs to pull back and stop posting. Peace of mind really has no price tag. But don’t blame anyone else for the mess you created, Selena! WHAT WOULD WENDY DO? Liam Hemsworth was recently surfing when he pushed a paparazzo for asking him if he was going to marry Miley Cyrus soon.…
