A police investigation is underway in Australia after Taylor Swift’s father was accused of assaulting a photographer in the early hours of Feb. 27. However, a rep for the singer, 34, insists it was the paparazzi who were the aggressors, “pushing” their way toward Taylor as she and dad Scott Swift, 72, disembarked from a yacht in Sydney’s North Shore. They also allegedly threatened to throw a female member of her staff into the water. Sadly, it’s not the only time Taylor has felt vulnerable as of late. In January, a 33-year-old man from Seattle was arrested outside her NYC home on three separate occasions for stalking. He was later admitted to a state hospital for mental health treatment. “Taylor can handle a lot of things, but she’s currently at…

There may be no mending the rift between Meghan Markle and Jessica Mulroney. According to a source, the Canadian stylist, 43, visits LA often for work, but when she tries to get in touch with the California-based duchess, 42, her calls go unanswered. (Jessica’s rep denies our story.) “They used to be inseparable, and now Meghan won’t even give Jessica the time of day,” dishes the source. Once the best of friends, Jessica’s twin sons, Brian and John, served as page boys at Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. “There was even a time when Jessica thought that she would move to London to effectively be Meghan’s chief of staff,” spills the source.

Rocky Romance Selena and Justin Bieber, 30, finally ended their toxic seven-year on-off relationship in 2018. She later claimed she “was a victim to certain [emotional] abuse” when they dated. Lupus Struggles In 2014, Selena was diagnosed with lupus, an incurable autoimmune disease. She got a kidney transplant in 2017, with actress pal Francia Raisa, 35, donating one of her organs.

Penelope Disick has been vocal about disliking mom Kourtney Kardashian’s constant PDA with stepdad Travis Barker. “No kissing!” she memorably begged during a 2022 episode of The Kardashians. So TikTok users had a lot to say when a clip emerged on Feb. 18 of the couple making out backstage at a Blink-182 show in Australia as the 11-year-old looked on, mortified. “That’s ridiculous,” blasted one person, while others commented, “ick,” “awkward” and “embarrassing.” But perhaps the most common sentiment expressed? “Poor Penelope.” Random people on the internet aren’t the only ones taking issue with Kourtney and Travis’ child-rearing of late. Life & Style has learned that Scott Disick — who shares Penelope as well as sons Mason, 14, and Reign, 9, with his reality star ex — is none too…

For more than four decades, Tom Cruise has been one of America’s biggest movie stars, and his new deal with Warner Bros. Discovery — to produce and develop franchise films as well as original fare — means he’ll remain a power player for years to come. Yet, as of late, the Top Gun star, 61, has been living far away from the bright lights of Hollywood: He now calls England home. “Tom is loving his new life in London,” reveals an insider. “He feels like he has been given a fresh start and is enjoying the change of pace.” Tom originally moved to the U.K. to shoot back-to-back Mission Im-possible flicks, but he liked it so much, he ended up sticking around!
