On Dec. 5, former Glee star Naya Rivera filed for divorce from husband Ryan Dorsey, just 10 days after she was arrested for allegedly hitting him in front of their 2-year-old son, Josey, in West Virginia. It’s hard to imagine things getting worse from there, but a source tells Life & Style it’s inevitable. “It’s definitely going to get even uglier,” says the source. Even the act of refiling divorce papers (Naya, 30, originally filed in November 2016 but reconciled with Ryan this past fall) came with a hidden motive: “The real reason Naya filed,” the source says, “is because Ryan was ready to call it quits and Naya just wanted to beat him to the punch.” Now they’ll be battling in court, and fellow actor Ryan, 34, is planning…

It’s hard to imagine The Voice without longtime judge Adam Levine trading wisecracks with Blake Shelton, but that could soon become a reality. The Maroon 5 singer is talking about vacating his rotating red chair for a year, an insider reveals. Adam, 38, who is expecting his second daughter with model Behati Prinsloo, “wants to spend more time with Behati,” the new baby and their 1-year-old daughter, Dusty, says the insider. “He wants to be at home and chase after his kids.” It won’t be all play and no work, though. Adam plans to pen some new hits during his downtime. But more than anything, “he wants to focus on being the best dad possible,” says the insider. After 13 seasons, “he feels it’s time for a little break from…

We’ve heard of the holiday blues, but Kendra Wilkinson is feeling blah in a different way. “I just heard of something called vaginal depression, and that’s what I have,” the TMI-prone reality star told Life & Style a t Kmart’s Pay Away the Layaway event in Las Vegas on Nov. 28. (Technically, the condition involves chronic pain in that area for no physiological reason.) Some docs prescribe sex — which sounds good to Kendra, 32. Since June she’s been living in Vegas for her show Sex Tips for Straight Women From a Gay Man while hubby Hank Baskett, 35, is back in Cali with the kids. When they reunite for the holidays, will she find the cure? “I hope so!” she says.…

Friends Worry: KALEY’S RUSHING TO THE ALTAR It was a birthday she’ll never forget. Kaley Cuoco burst into tears when Karl Cook dropped to one knee and asked her to marry him on Nov. 30, prompting her to write alongside the video on Instagram, “every part of this night has been perfection.” For the Big Bang Theory star, 32, and her equestrian fiancé, 26, it was pure magic. “Kaley is so happy about her engagement,” an insider tells Life & Style. “She knew she wanted to marry Karl the moment of their first kiss.” But the actress’ pals aren’t so convinced. “Her friends are a little worried she’s rushing into things,” the insider says. “But she won’t listen to any of them.” There’s good reason for concern: Kaley has a…

In 2010, Sandra experienced both the highest and lowest moments of her life. On March 7, she won her first-ever Oscar (for The Blind Side). Ten days later, In Touch broke the news that her husband, Jesse James, had been cheating with model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. A bevy of other tattooed women soon came forward, mortifying Sandra by telling all about their sordid encounters with the reality TV star. “Yeah, I did cheat on my wife, yeah,” Jesse later confessed. “I stood up and took accountability for it and apologized.” The mea culpa wasn’t enough. That June, the pair divorced after almost five years of marriage. “We’re all where we’re supposed to be,” Sandra said three years later. “You can’t go backward. I’m not going backward. I’m grateful that I’m…

It was a true A-list affair. At a Nov. 30 event honoring Louis Vuitton at NYC’s Lincoln Center, Justin Theroux happily hobnobbed with Nicole Kidman, Michelle Williams and others. But one famous face was noticeably missing from his side: his wife, Jennifer Aniston. In fact, she hasn’t been with him for months. The last time the duo were photographed together was back on Oct. 1. Since then, Justin’s been seen out and about in NYC while Jen’s only been spotted in LA. “Jen and Justin are living separate lives,” a friend tells Life & Style. “They’ve been living apart for the better part of two months.” Though the duo, who wed in August 2015, claim they enjoy their independence, “they are drifting further apart,” confirms a Jen insider. “Their closest…

Sleek Eating Ellen and Portia’s new pad boasts a modern kitchen with a massive double-sink and stainless steel island separating it from the main living space. Easy on the Eyes The raised living room features high ceilings, a minimalist fireplace and a big picture window that showcases their epic ocean view. After buying and flipping more than a dozen Southern California homes, Ellen DeGeneres has earned the nickname the Real Estate Queen of Hollywood. “If you think of your home as a canvas… you can put anything on it,” says the talk show host, 59. “I tend to keep painting the painting until it’s done, there’s nothing left to do. That’s when I sell the canvas and buy a new one.” Now it looks like Ellen and wife Portia de…

Furry Bags Feathered Heels The Celebrity Stylist Says “Stars are realizing that adding shine with blingy accessories isn’t the only way to make an outfit stand out,” says stylist Melissa Garcia, who has worked with celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Peyton List. “Fur and feathers, whether real or fake, feel plush and look luxe, and all it takes is a small touch — no need to don the material full on — to elevate an entire look.” And whether it’s a pop of colorful feathers like on the toe strap of Rihanna’s Charlotte Olympia lace-up heels or a neutral addition like Kendall’s Simonetta Ravizza Furrissima mink tote, the fuzzy accents add fun flair, allure and a shot of edge to any outfit from a laid-back street-style look to a glamorous…

Tinseltown’s trendsetters are channeling the glamour of Old Hollywood stars by adorning their gorgeous gowns with statement wraps and clutches, says stylist Madison Guest, who has dressed Kim Kardashian and Victoria Justice. “It’s the perfect way to take any festive fashion from basic to bombshell.” Plus, the pairing is party-practical — a wrap keeps the neck warm and a clutch holds event essentials like lippies, credit cards and phones effortlessly — yet dressy enough to inject any holiday getup with plenty of pizzazz. Here, four #ootd-worthy matches fit for any shindig on your calendar. MARGOT ROBBIE  added $28,390 worth of dazzle to her screen-siren getup with shiny Sara Weinstock cuffs.

Actress Gina Rodriguez has struggled with her weight for years because she has Hashimoto’s disease, a thyroid condition that can cause fatigue and weight gain. Recently, the Jane the Virgin star, 33, slimmed down and toned up, and she did it by following a power diet of her own creation. (Seaweed chicken wraps with avocado, anyone?) NEW ATTITUDE Gina is open about the frustrations of having Hashimoto’s. “Keeping weight off is very difficult because my metabolism is pretty much shot,” says the actress. Fortunately, over the years, she has found ways to manage her weight. Registered dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick, manager of Wellness Nutritional Services at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute, didn’t work with Gina but says that becoming more conscious of her dietary choices was the biggest factor in her…

A star I’ve been mistaken for is... Jennifer Morrison, whose work I love. I hope we get to play sisters at some point. My fave cocktail is...a dirty martini. Right now I’m lusting after...the Bordeaux East West Alter Napa Tote from Stella McCartney. A celeb who left me starstruck was... Marilu Henner. She played my mom in a movie last year. Thankfully, she’s down-to-earth and we became fast friends. One of the newest things in my closet is...a gorgeous Matt & Nat clutch my friend, Suzanne, gave me for my birthday. It’s an Abiko bag from the Dwell collection and it’s the perfect gift — colorful, classic and vegan. The oldest thing in my closet is...my Pink Ladies jacket from a high school production of Grease. Sandy was my first…

B uh-bye, #basic earrings and barrettes! Stars are adding pop to their lock looks with behind-the-ear accessories. “It’s a great way to make a dramatic and fun style statement,” says Wella Professionals hairstylist Christian Wood, who created Lydia’s jagged jewel effect, at left, by slicking her hair back on one side, then sliding six Lelet NY Spike Bobbi pins ($68 each, leletny.com) around the perimeter of her ear. “The key is to leave the rest of hair textured and loose so the adornment adds punch without overpowering,” For a similarly sharp style, we like Nina Berenato Hunter’s Ear Cuff ($120, ninaberenato.com).…

The holidays won’t be filled with cheer for Teresa Giudice. It’ll be the first Christmas without her beloved mom, Antonia, who died in March from pneumonia — and her dad, Giacinto, was hospitalized with pneumonia in November. “It’s a nightmare and absolutely terrifying for Teresa to go through this again with the only parent she has left,” says an insider. “The wounds have still not healed from her mother’s passing.” On top of that, Teresa, 45, has to navigate the holidays as a single mom to her four girls, Gia, 16, Gabriella, 13, Milania, 11, and Audriana, 8, while husband Joe remains in prison for fraud. And she doesn’t have a lot of spare time for planning and shopping: “She’s been working a lot, making public appearances and wrapping up…

For years, Kim Kardashian’s assistant Stephanie Shepherd had no trouble keeping up with her famous client. So why did the reality star recently fire her? “Kim seemed more than happy with Stephanie — until she asked for a raise,” a source reveals. A second source says, “Kim had been paying Stephanie $65,000 a year. She’d been working for Kim for three years with no raise and knew it was time to ask.” Steph had a solid case: Not only has she appeared on a few eps of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, she’s also covered babysitting and food runs, as well as functioning as the COO of Kim’s company Kardashian West Brands. So Steph, the second source says, asked for a $20K pay increase. But Kim, 37, who’s worth some…

That’s what friends are for. As Ben Affleck, 45, continues outpatient rehab for alcohol addiction, “he’s also been seeing a therapist,” a source tells Life & Style, and Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, have been supporting him through it. On Nov. 30, the couple were spotted outside the same LA therapist’s office Ben has been visiting. The star could use the cheerleading — 2017 has been a rough year: Not only did Jennifer Garner officially file for divorce from him, but his two most recent movies, Live by Night and Justice League, have been disappointments. “Ben and Matt have been there for each other since their childhood days [in Cambridge, Mass.],” the source notes. “They’ve been best friends through thick and thin.” Matt and Luciana “have seen Ben at…

Love was clearly in the air. Sandra Bullock and boyfriend Bryan Randall stood smiling, their arms wrapped around each other outside Beverly Hills’ Il Piccolino restaurant on a recent sunny day. As they waited for a valet to bring their car, they acted like they were the only two people in the world, gazing into each other’s eyes and even sharing a passionate kiss. More than two years into their relationship, Sandra, 53, and photographer Bryan, 51, are happier than ever — and they’re taking a huge — and happy! —step in their relationship. Life & Style has exclusively learned that the pair are planning a romantic European wedding with a guest list that includes a who’s who of Hollywood. And, of course, the Gravity star’s adorable kids, Louis, 7,…

Matt Lauer’s father-in-law had a message to share: His daughter, Annette Roque, does not plan to stand by the disgraced newscaster as she has after past marriage struggles. “She is not going to stay with him and work it out,” Henri Roque told a reporter on Dec. 6. “What he has done is bad. Everybody feels betrayed.” Matt’s wife of 19 years made that clear the same day when she stepped out near their home in New York’s Hamptons for the first time since the sexual misconduct scandal — without her wedding ring. The former Today co-anchor was seen with his ring off later that day, and now sources close to the couple tell Life & Style the marriage is over. “Divorce is imminent,” says an insider, who expects that…

THEIR STYLIST TO THE STARS Both blondes trust their tresses to celebrity hair maven Lea Journo and her salon at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Cuts with the master herself have been known to cost $450 a pop, but that hasn’t stopped other clients, including Brad Pitt, Natalie Portman and Blake Lively, from flocking. A GARAGE FILLED WITH SPORTS CARS Ellen adores Portia — and Porsches! The host tools around in a Porsche Cayenne ($66K and up), a Porsche Targa 4S (around $150K, above) as well as a Porsche 911 Carrera GTS ($121K and up). But she doesn’t discriminate against other luxury car makers: Ellen also owns a Ferrari California (around $200,000). NOSHING WITH THE A-LIST On the job, Ellen interviews the biggest names in Hollywood. And after work,…

Tanking Style Ruth Wilson’s patent-leather Markus Lupfer mini and leopard pumps sizzle. But topping them off with a droopy bra-revealing tank top drags the sexy style factor right down. Hold the Heft The deep V of Ellie Bamber’s Jasper Conran Studio sweater? Plunge perfection! Too bad the top’s big fuzzy style and the skirt’s crinkly fabric widen her frame and distract from what’s hot. Outdated Oops Bella Hadid channels the OG working girl (holla, Melanie Griffith!) in a blazer with structured shoulder pads, a matchy buckled wide-belt mini and Nike kicks. Note to Bella: It wasn’t cute then, either. Blooming Babe Cinching her rose-adorned Lovers + Friends sweater and Jeffrey Dodd skirt with an Elisabetta Franchi belt gives Abbie Cornish major curve appeal while a fitted top and sleek midi…

Geometric Twist: Edgy “Amber’s sculpted front puts a punky spin on the chic French twist in back,” says hairstylist Adir Abergel, who styled her ’do . To get the look, he worked Virtue The One for All 6-1 Styler ($36, hsn.com), a styling cream, from mid-shaft to ends for shine, and Bumble and bumble Bb.Thickening Full Form Mousse ($31, ulta.com) into roots for lift. Next, he swept hair over to one side and molded the front section into a swoop. Then, making sure to leave lots of volume in front for a modern effect, he rolled hair into a mega–French twist in back and pinned in place. Braided Twist: Sexy “The texture of Sara’s braid adds sultry allure to the elegance of her twist-like updo,” says the model’s hairstylist, Rebekah…

Now: Toned and in Control! Part of the improvement in the Jane the Virgin star’s physique comes from exercise. “Running, boxing, jump rope and hitting the heavy bag are my workout constants,” she shares. GREAT GLUTEN-FREE GRAINS Giving up gluten — as Gina Rodriguez did as part of her dietary change — doesn’t mean you have to go grain-free. Even if you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, or gluten just doesn’t agree with you, there are plenty of delicious, nutritious whole grains besides corn, oats and rice to use in your meals. Here’s a look at five great grains you may not be familiar with: AMARANTH: Rich in protein, calcium, iron and other minerals, amaranth is the only grain known to contain vitamin C.…

He’s the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, but Dwayne Johnson remembers hiding from the landlord when the rent was due. “I know what it’s like to be evicted,” he says. Those days ended when he made it big as pro wrestler The Rock, then morphed into a movie star. Now the 45-year-old father of two is starring in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. But fame hasn’t gone to his head. “I would say that the best advice I was given was to treat people kindly,” he says. “I always think it takes a lot of effort to be a jerk, and yet some people do it so effortlessly.” 1975 NATURAL ATHLETE Born in Hayward, Calif., to a pro wrestling family, Dwayne scores a football scholarship to the University of Miami.

Good Morning America’s Ginger Zee is mom to son Adrian, almost 2, and she’s pregnant with another boy, due in February. But she forecasts that she’ll also have a little girl one day. “I’ve always wanted to adopt,” the meteorologist , 36, exclusively told Life & Style while promoting her new book, Natural Disaster. “If we have the means and the ability and it feels like the right time, I would love to adopt a little girl and just round out the family like that.” Ginger says her husband of three years, NYC television personality Ben Aaron, 36, also is on board with being a family of five, and they don’t care where in the world their little bundle of joy comes from. “I don’t think we’ve thought that far…

Now that Kylie Jenner is expecting her first child, a girl due in early 2018, with rapper Travis Scott, 25, her body confidence has taken a huge hit. “Kylie has already gained 40 pounds,” reveals an insider. “She feels huge. She hates being pregnant and says she’s never felt this fat in her life.” Kylie, 20, has been awkwardly asking friends for their opinion of her body. “They all keep telling her she looks great, but she doesn’t trust them,” the insider says. “She thinks they’re just saying that so she doesn’t feel awful.” Kylie’s Instagram feed used to be full of eye-popping body shots, but tellingly, she’s been zeroing in on her Kylie Cosmetics–covered face lately. And she’s otherwise remained in hiding. But her mom is pushing her to…

THE MUÑIZ MINIS $400M “They’re growing up so differently than me,” Jennifer Lopez says of twins Max and Emme, 9. ‘Ya think?! While J.

Size Down to Slay A see-through frock can be sexy, but in Olivia Munn’s case, her baggy floor-dusting Ashi Studio boudoir-style robe skews more sloppy. Even that wide belt drowns in the sea of transparent black mesh that hides what’s hot. Sidestep the Dowdy Deets Model Natasha Poly channels her inner goth in a Victorian-inspired Elie Saab gown. Too bad the stuffy high collar, fussy frills and dizzying panels of lace cause the eye to scan all over, adding optical pounds from neck to toe. Contrast Is Clunky The curve-skimming lace and cold-shoulders of Tessa Thompson’s Elie Saab frock have major femme-fatale feels. The Thor: Ragnarok star’s style slip? Layering it over a white bra, which distracts from the dress’ sexy skin-baring vibes. Stay Sleek to Slim Former Miss Universe…

The hottest accessory in Hollywood this season is a fiery pucker that adds extra pop and pizzazz to party looks. “Red is a very universal, happy and cheerful color,” says makeup artist Lucky Smyler, who’s worked with Rita Ora and Kerry Washington. “Swiping the dramatic color onto lips makes it an instant confidence booster while easily taking any look from day to night.” Plus, the vibrant lip color can also make the pout look plump and pillowy. To try on the trend, Smyler suggests going for more sheer formulas and stains during the daytime and bolder, richer reds for evening. “And since the right shade of red can reduce the look of sallowness, give an instant pick-me-up to washed-out skin and bring out a lit-from-within glow, it’s key to use…
