Life & Style Weekly October 28, 2019

Victoria Hayes KATHERINE BARRELL vs VICTORIA JUSTICE Because there’s already a lot going on with this colorfully striped, three-piece ensemble, Canadian actress Katherine’s embellished heels were just unnecessary. Jacquemus CHRISSY TEIGEN vs EMILY RATAJKOWSKI While we appreciate the fact that both beauties belted this blazer for a slimming finish, it’s Emily’s fringed choice of add-on that gave what’s an otherwise simple style cool-girl flair. Chanel KAITLYN DEVER vs HARLEY VIERA-NEWTON No doubt we love a matchy-matchy moment, Harley. But the green eyeshadow was a bit much. Booksmart star Kaitlyn’s black and white accessories provide this suit with some much-needed contrast. Chanel POM KLEMENTIEFF vs MARGOT ROBBIE It’s usually no contest when up against Margot, but Avengers star Pom really stepped things up: Her bold lip, tweed topper and sexy strappies were flawless additions to these…

Meredith Vieira’s former assistant claims that Matt Lauer raped her in his hotel room at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, sparking speculation that the disgraced Today anchor could be prosecuted in Russia. “It’s very unlikely, but just the thought of criminal charges has Matt crying foul,” reveals an insider. “He’s calling this a witch hunt now. Yes, he made some huge mistakes, and he’s continuing to pay the price for them, but he stands by his statement.” After the accusation surfaced in Ronan Farrow’s new book, Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators, the former newsman penned a lengthy open letter in which he denied raping former NBC News staffer Brooke Nevils, calling the alleged assault a “consensual” sexual encounter, “the first of many… between us” over…

Saturday night’s alright for spilling royal tea! In his upcoming memoir, Me, Elton John regales readers with stories of disco-dancing with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace and watching Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere fight over Princess Diana. “She was blessed with an incredible social ease, an ability to make people feel totally comfortable in her company,” writes the 72-year-old singer of the People’s Princess, adding that her son Prince Harry inherited the same trait. “She was fabulous company, the best dinner party guest, incredibly discreet, a real gossip: You could ask her anything and she’d tell you!” And while the queen’s known for keeping a stiff upper lip, Elton once witnessed the monarch “lightly slap” her nephew, Viscount Linley, “across the face” with a glove for defying her orders.…

Jennifer Aniston is returning to TV for the first time in 15 years — and she’s afraid that it shows! According to an insider, the 50-year-old actress “isn’t happy” with how she looks in the ads for her upcoming Apple+ series, The Morning Show, especially standing next to Reese Witherspoon, 43. “Jen hates the photo they chose. She thinks her face looks rounder, fuller, even rubbery,” the insider tells Life & Style. “That shot just doesn’t do her justice.” While a rep for the Friends alum denies the discord, the insider insists that, though Jen is all for aging gracefully, “she wouldn’t have minded if the art department had gone in and tweaked a few things.”…

Just for show? Cameras were rolling when a devastated Teresa Giudice learned that her husband, Joe, was being deported to Italy where he’ll await the results of an appeal, but according to a source, it’s all an act. “Teresa tries to come across as really missing Joe to get the audience on her side. But, offscreen, it’s a very different story,” reveals the source of the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 47. “You’d never guess Teresa’s a happily married woman when she’s out with friends. It’s as though Joe doesn’t even exist.” As Life & Style has previously reported, the “heartbroken” mother of four was photographed holding hands with a younger man while Joe, also 47, was locked up behind bars. “Teresa knows he isn’t coming back,” says the…

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro has found himself in a bit of a situation. The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star, 33, was arrested on Oct. 4 and charged with kidnapping after an alleged domestic violence incident involving girlfriend Jen Harley, 31. Reports claim Ronnie chased the mother of his child around their LA Airbnb with a knife while holding their 17-month-old daughter, Ariana, until the Los Angeles Police Department arrived and tased him. Though he’s since been released after posting $100K bail and denies threatening Jen with a weapon, the LAPD issued an emergency protective order, forcing Ronnie to stay 100 yards away from his baby mama. But will it be enough to keep the pair apart? “Jen is officially done with Ronnie. That’s what she’s telling her friends anyway,” says a source.…
