LEARNING CURVES Beverly Hills, July 16 Putting the shamers to shame! Out for a run on a hot day, CAMILA CABELLO wore a crop top that showed off a slightly rounded belly — and drew online ire as a result. But instead of getting angry or claiming the pics were altered, the “Señorita” singer stood up to the haters. “I am grateful for this body that lets me do what I need to do,” Camila, 24, said in a TikTok video. “We are real women with curves and cellulite and stretch marks and fat. And we gotta own that, baby.”…

I want to get married and have a baby,” Britney Spears declared during her conservatorship hearing on June 23, and she wasn’t kidding.

The cracks are beginning to show in Kate Bosworth’s marriage to Michael Polish. The actress, 38, tied the knot with the director, 50, in 2013 after meeting on the set of their Jack Kerouac adaptation Big Sur, but a source tells Life & Style that the couple are now suffering from the seven-year itch. “The feelings Kate and Michael have for each other faded over time,” says the source. “Having to isolate together during the pandemic only magnified their problems.

James O’Shea has always been ahead of the curve. When he opened the West Street Grill in Litchfield, Conn., in May 1990, the restaurant was the first of its kind in the area to feature lighter, healthier fare. “I was doing a lot of seafood and foods from local farms and markets,” says the celebrated chef, who grew up on a seaside farm in his native Ireland. “Modern American cuisine has become a staple,” he adds, “but it wasn’t around back then.” James also adopted a vegan diet in 2008, before it became more mainstream, and says it’s not as difficult as some may think. (West Street Grill — a fave stop for celebs like George Clooney, Russell Crowe and Meryl Streep — has meat on the menu, but deliciously…
