Women in Hollywood aren’t the only ones worried about aging. Sources tell Star some of the biz’s biggest male celebs are fretting about their appearance — and they’re turning to a surpising source for advice. “An unexpected development for Channing Tatum has been his emergence as a fitness and wellness guru,” says an insider. “Especially among guys who are 10 or 15 years older than him.” The Magic Mike star, 44, is known for his buff physique and boyish good looks. Now, says the insider, A-listers like Brad Pitt, 60, Keanu Reeves, 60, and George Clooney, 63, are hitting him up for tips. “He and Brad are actually friends, so they’ve been talking about this stuff for a couple of years now,” adds the insider. “But Channing has been surprised…

Meddling mom knows best! Following reports that Kaia Gerber has been hanging with friends in NYC sans boyfriend Austin Butler, a source says Cindy Crawford is worried her supermodel daughter, 23, will lose her A-list beau, 33. “Cindy thinks Austin’s perfect son-in-law material and hopes they don’t break up,” says the insider. Austin, who’s been in demand ever since his Oscar nod for Elvis, has been busy filming Caught Stealing in New York, and was conspicuously missing from Kaia’s Disneyland birthday celebration in September. “Austin’s very busy, but Cindy’s hoping Kaia can be patient because he’s a solid partner,” adds the insider, noting that her parents were “so worried about her” while she was with ex Pete Davidson. “Kaia has guys lining up to date her, but Cindy thinks none…

GARTH BROOKS & SANDY MAHL Garth, who wed his first wife in 1986, described meeting Trisha a year later. “It’s strange because I felt that feeling like when you just meet your wife, but I’ve been married for 13 months,” he told Ellen DeGeneres. He later copped to being unfaithful, saying he “wore out a pair of jeans while I was down on my knees begging [Sandy] to take me back.” JASON & BRITTANY ALDEAN While he was still with wife Jessica Ussery, the mom of his eldest child, the “Dirty Road Anthem” star was caught kissing American Idol alum Brittany in 2012. “I was drunk,” the 47-year-old later said, apologizing for “embarrassing my family and myself.” Not that embarrassed: He and Brittany, 37, began dating after his 2013 split…

Setting the “World on Fire” Oslo, Oct. 9 Thirty Seconds to Mars brought their Seasons world tour to Norway’s Olso Spektrum Arena, where frontman Jared Leto got the crowd dancing in their seats — and on stage (inset). “I’m not there for me. I’m there for the audience,” the rocker, 52, has said. “I am in service every night to make sure the person that worked their a** off to buy a concert ticket, which aren’t cheap these days, by the way, has a night that they’re never gonna forget. And I’m in search of that. Every night. All night.”…

Dave Grohl is desperate for a rebrand. A source says the Foo Fighters frontman has gone from “rock god to scumbag overnight,” in the wake of his admission that he fathered a child outside of his 21-year marriage to Jordyn Blum. “He knows he screwed up. He’s offering up his text messages, constantly apologizing and going to therapy.” The 55-year-old, whose band canceled a big festival appearance in the wake of the scandal, has been focused on repairing his family life, recently accompanying his youngest daughter to shop for Halloween décor. “He has to make this up to his daughters [Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10], and he needs to give Jordyn space and time to heal,” says the source. “It’s frustrating for him, but these things take months,…

In an Oct. 4 statement, Jane Roe’s attorney Douglas H. Wigdor compared the country star to another man in the news for his treatment of women. “It seems as though Sean Combs and Garth Brooks are using the same public relations team by attacking legitimate victims,” Wigdor said of the country singer’s claims that Jane is a “lying extortionist” set on “destroying” his reputation. “We are very confident in our case, and over time the public will see his true character rather than his highly curated persona.” Wigdor is very familiar with Diddy’s legal issues. He was also the attorney representing Cassie (real name: Cassandra Ventura) when she filed her November 2023 lawsuit in which she accused the disgraced music mogul of repeated sexual assault and physical abuse throughout their…

Looking glam in a low-cut red Carolina Herrera gown, Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance on the red carpet at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles 2024 Gala Oct. 5. After a brief interview and some chitchat and photos with fellow guests, however, the Duchess of Sussex made a quick exit. “She couldn’t stay for the whole thing,” an insider tells Star. “No reason was given.” The anti-Meghan brigade quickly attacked the 43-year-old for “just being there for the photos,” noting in a number of opinion pieces that her attention-getting red dress — recycled from a 2021 event in NYC — was decidedly unroyal. It didn’t help that her husband, Prince Harry, was thousands of miles away, continuing on a series of solo engagements that took him to New York and…

Dating younger guys has its perks, but there can be problems as well. Just ask superstars Madonna and Cher! Sources tell Star Madonna, for one, is seeing red flags when it comes to her much-younger guy. The 66-year-old is turned on that 28-year-old Akeem Morris has a mind of his own, but can’t stand his inability to turn off the flirting. “He’s made it clear from the start he’s not going to be micromanaged or bossed around,” says a source. “And when there are pretty girls around, his eyes wander.” Meanwhile, 78-year-old Cher is worn out after dealing with the drama surrounding her son Elijah Blue Allman’s substance-abuse issues, and it’s been a drag on her May/December romance with thirtysomething music producer Alexander “A. E.” Edwards. “She’s still testy and…

Tom Selleck recently admitted he’s “frustrated” about CBS’ decision to cancel Blue Bloods after 14 years. While the 79-year-old groused about the show being taken for granted — pointing out that the police drama was a steady in the ratings for its entire run — he joked that he doesn’t want to “turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’” Yet recent photographs show the normally dapper performer looking less than his best. And an insider tells Star Tom has been at loose ends since the show wrapped. Scars on his knees hint that the actor may have undergone joint replacement, as does his unsteady gait. “It’s taking a long time to heal,” adds the insider. “The fact remains he’s unsteady on his feet and has trouble…

Oops, is she doing it again? Britney Spears’s on-off relationship with Paul Soliz — which began shortly after her 2023 divorce from Sam Asghari — may turn out to be more than a rebound. Now that the dad of nine’s estranged wife, Nicole Mancilla, has filed for divorce, the path has opened for the pair to tie the knot. “People are expecting Paul to propose soon,” says a source of the contractor, 38, who met the pop star, 42, in 2022 while doing maintenance work at her mansion. The source adds that Brit’s inner circle, including brother Bryan Spears, is concerned because of Paul’s criminal record. “But he always weasels his way back in. Paul has taken on the job of Brit’s social-media manager, and now he has some of…

GARTH BROOKS didn’t shy away from the controversy. During an Oct. 7 livestream, the country star addressed what he called “the elephant in the room” — shocking sexual assault allegations that had been levied against him by a former employee four days earlier. “This thing is on, it’s gonna happen, and people are telling me it could be up to two years” until his legal woes are resolved, he said. “So, my suggestion is, well, take a deep breath, we all just kind of settle in and let’s hold hands and take the trip together, because it is something that you cannot talk about. That’s all we can say about it.” Fan are desperate to know more. On Oct. 3, a woman who worked as a makeup artist and hairstylist…

1. She Saw Elvis’ Death Coming Growing up at Graceland, the family’s famed Memphis mansion, Lisa Marie saw the effects of her father Elvis Presley’s prescription drug abuse long before his 1977 death at the age of 42 from a heart attack. “I wrote a poem with the line, ‘I hope my daddy doesn’t die,’” she writes, recalling how she once found him face down on the floor of his bathroom. “I knew that something tragic was coming.” The day he died, Lisa Marie, then 9, awoke to find him being carried out on a stretcher. “My life as I knew it was completely over.” 2.
