RYAN PHILLIPPE was feeling nostalgic. On May 27, the 49-year-old shared a throwback pic with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon from 2001. “We were hot and drenched in late ’90s angst,” he captioned the shot. Tagging his ex, the actor added, “Such a cooler time than today.” The pair, who met at Reese’s 21st-birthday party in 1997 before costarring in 1999’s Cruel Intentions, wed that same year and went on to have two kids, Ava, 24, and Deacon, 20, together before splitting in 2006. The Legally Blonde star went on to wed Jim Toth, dad to her son Tennessee, 11, who she divorced in 2023. (For his part, Ryan has a rocky romantic history, with one of his ex-girlfriends securing an emergency protective order in 2017; the case was settled two years…

Not a good look! On May 21, Renée Zellweger was caught getting affectionate with Doyle Bramhall II — who she dated for seven years until 2019 — at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Now a source says the rendezvous left her current beau, Ant Anstead, feeling hurt. “Ant’s not usually the jealous type, but this was inappropriate as far as he’s concerned,” says the source. To Renée, 55, the meetup with her old flame was innocent. “She found out Doyle was in town to do a show with Eric Clapton and went last-minute to catch up with him,” says the source. “Doyle is happily in love with Elle Macpherson and she was there too, so there certainly wasn’t any funny business.” The whispers have left the Bridget Jones: Mad About the…

DEMI MOORE SHE was playing the troubled Jules in the 1985 hit St. Elmo’s Fire when she met Brat Packer Emilio Estevez. Fresh off her divorce from her first husband, Demi fell for the now-62-year-old and the two were in the thick of the crew’s wild partying. Within six months they were engaged, but Demi, 61, was shocked when she discovered the Mighty Ducks star had been unfaithful. “Emilio and I had in fact just mailed out the invitations for our wedding when a friend told me she had seen him out with someone else in L.A.,” she wrote in her 2019 memoir, Inside Out. Worse, he’d gotten an ex-girlfriend pregnant. Devastated, Demi turned to her therapist for advice. As she recalled, the therapist was blunt. “Ordinarily, I prefer for…

Star Power Hollywood, May 23 When Chris Hemsworth received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he was joined by his wife, Elsa Pataky, children India, 12, and 10-year-old twins Tristan and Sasha and former costar Robert Downey Jr., who couldn’t resist turning the ceremony into a roast. The Iron Man star, 59, had asked his fellow Avengers to try and describe the Aussie actor, 40, in three words. “[Jeremy] Renner says, ‘Absurdly annoyingly amazing.’ [Mark] Ruffalo came in strong with ‘friend from work,’” he shared with the crowd. “Scarlett [Johansson] got to the heart of it with ‘sensitive leading lady.’ Captain America [Chris Evans] calls him the ‘second best Chris.’” As for Robert’s answer? “He is ‘Hollywood star recipient,’” he declared. “There is no one who deserves it…

Maybe she’s hangry! Christina Aguilera looked amazing on stage at a recent concert in Mexico. So great that some whispered the 43-year-old had turned to weight-loss drugs to help her shed 40 pounds or so from her 5-foot-2 frame. Whatever she did, insiders tell Star that the slimdown has not improved the mom of one’s mood. “She may look great but her attitude absolutely stinks,” says a source. “She’s snapping at people and has zero patience. Everybody’s convinced her starvation diet is to blame for her constant bad mood.” The source adds that the “Beautiful” singer’s partner, Matt Rutler, is bearing the brunt of her ire. “He’s proud of her for getting into such great shape,” adds the source. “But he didn’t even think the extreme weight loss was necessary!”…

The intervention was not to be. As Star previously reported, after some disturbing incidents, Britney Spears’ mother and younger sister were geared up to confront the 42-year-old and try to force her to move back with them to Louisiana. But when the time came, the mom of two would not budge. “She may have seemed receptive to meeting with Lynne and Jamie Lynn at first,” says a source. “Then she changed her mind and got paranoid they were trying to trick her.” The “Toxic” singer has reason to be concerned. Sources have told Star there have been plans to get Britney back under a conservatorship — three years after she was freed from one in which her father, Jamie, controlled every aspect of her personal life. “She was kept a…

Second chance at love? A source reveals Olivia Wilde is holding out hope for a romance redux with Harry Styles now that the pop star, 30, is single again. “For Olivia, nobody came close to Harry,” says the source, noting that the divorcée hasn’t dated since their 2022 split. “They’re in touch here and there and Olivia swears they still have a spark.” The source clarifies that Olivia, 40, who fell for the “Watermelon Sugar” singer while directing him in Don’t Worry Darling, hasn’t reached out to Harry since his recent split from Taylor Russell. “She’s playing it cool and waiting for him to make the first move — but she’d drop everything to meet up with him.” According to the source, the mom of two (with ex Jason Sudeikis)…

JIMMY KIMMEL is famous for his boyish humor and for playing pranks on guests on his popular late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! But the star was as serious as could be when he updated fans on his son Billy’s health on May 28 after the 7-year-old underwent open heart surgery. “This weekend, our boy Billy had his third (of three, we hope) open heart surgery. We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid,” Jimmy wrote on Instagram alongside a sweet photo of Billy smiling from a hospital bed. “Billy, you are the toughest (and funniest) 7-year-old we know.” It’s been a lifelong battle for the boy. In 2017, shortly after…
