The crowd went wild as soon as they saw her — and they cheered even louder when she started to sing. Performing “The Fighter” with Keith Urban during a surprise appearance at his late August concert at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Carrie Underwood looked and sounded like the superstar she is. And she was loving every minute of it. “Will it ever suck getting to sing with @keithurban ???” she later tweeted. “The answer is no. Such an incredible and LOUD crowd.… I know you guys all had a blast!” But as much fun as she has soaking up the spotlight with her famous friends, the “Cry Pretty” singer is a very different person when she’s at home with her family. In a new interview, Carrie — who’s pregnant with her…

GEORGE WED TALIA TOO SOON Before he said “I do” to wife Amal in 2014, George Clooney was considered Hollywood’s eternal bachelor. But the star had actually been married before. Back in 1989, a young and unprepared George tied the knot with fellow actor Talia Balsam. And though he stayed married to her for nearly four years, he now believes they were doomed from the start. “I probably — definitely — wasn’t someone who should have been married at [that] point,” George, 57, admits. “I just don’t feel like I gave Talia a fair shot.” She isn't bitter about it. In 1998, the now-59-year-old wed Mad Men hunk John Slattery, and they’ve been happily married ever since. BLAKE MET KAYNETTE IN HIGH SCHOOL Long before he wooed Miranda Lambert or…

Definitely not meant for the wallflower, this tasseled design dances, sways and practically seeks attention. You don’t have to go full-on flapper girl if you’re still on the fence: try an accessory, like a Western-inspired cross-body bag or a bracelet for subtle flair. A general rule of thumb? Avoid doubling-up on the accent. For instance, if you’re wearing a fringe dress, pass on fringe accessories. Trust us, one piece is plenty bold with this trend.…

Brad looked like he was on a mission as he rushed into his lawyer’s office in LA on Sept. 5. He was. Since their 2016 split, Brad and Angelina have been battling over custody of Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. (Maddox, 17, is old enough to decide who he lives with.) The war has heated up recently with Angelina’s legal team claiming the actor hasn’t paid “meaningful” child support and blasting him for charging interest on money he loaned the actress to buy a home. “Angelina has played every trick in the book to make Brad suffer,” says a source. “Brad is at his wit’s end over what seems to be a never-ending battle.” But he’s not giving up. “Brad has told close…

Style Tip These goggle-like sunnies can easily overpower, so size matters! Look for frames that wrap around or are only slightly wider than your face — and make sure your eyebrows still peek out on top (otherwise, you’ve gone too big).…

The rumors have been flying. Exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have grown close in the months since their respective splits, and some reports claim they’re already talking about getting married again and having a baby. The pair have been talking, Life & Style can confirm — and Angelina Jolie isn’t happy about it. “She hates that everyone still roots for golden couple Brad and Jen to be together,” says a friend, “while she’s forever painted as the villain in their original breakup.” She’s out for revenge — and she’s using Jen’s estranged husband, Justin Theroux, to get it. Life & Style has exclusively learned that Angelina, 43, has been trying to seduce the actor, 47, to spite Jen. “When Angie was in NYC recently,” reveals the friend, “she got…

Sweet, sensitive and seemingly sincere, Colton Underwood may not have found love on The Bachelorette or Bachelor in Paradise, but he sure won the hearts of the shows’ producers. On Sept. 4, ABC announced that the former football player and self-declared virgin beat out fan favorites Blake Horstmann and Jason Tartick to be the next Bachelor. And Colton couldn’t be more thrilled. “I’m hoping the third time’s a charm,” says the 26-year-old, who assures the women who’ll be competing for his love (and, pre-sumably, his virginity) that what you see is what you get. “One thing I took pride in on both seasons is just being true to who I am.” But who is Colton, really? While he presents himself as the ultimate nice guy, one insider tells Life &…

ON TV this week Total Divas SEPT. 19, 9 P.M., E! Season 8 of the WWE reality series kicks off on a flashy note as the ladies travel to New Orleans for WrestleMania. But while they have a few days to let loose in the Big Easy before hitting the ring, it’s not all glitz, glamour and to-go cups. Rising star Nia Jax tries to balance fame and friendships, close pal Paige copes with a career-threatening injury and the Bella twins focus on their clothing brand. Drama aside, these women support each other and love their jobs. That sets this series apart from the reality TV pack — and makes it loads of fun to watch. The Talk AIRS WEEKDAYS, 2 P.M. ET/1 P.M. CT/PT, CBS Daytime’s most compelling Emmy-winning…

Expert Tip Using a blush brush (be sure to tap off excess before applying), dust powder onto apples of cheeks and diffuse out toward the hairline.

DIET “Everything you eat affects you mentally and physically,” says Witney, 24, who sticks to a menu of whole foods, fruits and vegetables. She starts the day with a green matcha latte with almond milk, followed by post-workout eggs with Ezekiel toast and avocado, plus a protein smoothie. Lunch is a grilled chicken salad and dinner is grilled salmon, asparagus and brown rice or quinoa. For dessert, she loves dark chocolate with raspberries. “Ice cream is my favorite indulgence,” she tells Life & Style. “I have it once a month.” EXERCISE Witney makes it a point to work up a sweat six days a week for 45 minutes to an hour each time. She alternates between boxing, high-intensity interval training at Orangetheory, and Pilates. “Pilates is my favorite workout because…
