The connection between farmer Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff was not sustainable. Just six months after the Bachelor, 33, slipped a 4-carat sparkler on the 29-year-old fertility nurse’s finger, the two called off their engagement. In a May 28 statement, the former pair, who met on season 19 of ABC’s reality series, told Us they had parted “with nothing but respect and admiration for one another” and would remain “supportive friends.” OUT OF STEP Love failed to flourish once Bischoff and Soules were free to be a public couple. The day after his March 9 proposal aired, the Iowa native moved to L.A. and began 12-hour-a-day rehearsals with his Dancing With the Stars partner, Witney Carson. “I’m focused on getting the mirrorball,” the fifth-place finisher told Us May 6. “Whitney…

Vanity Fair editors put out the call in early May, asking designers to pull looks for an unnamed shoot with Annie Leibovitz. And on June 1, Caitlyn Jenner made her grand debut, bidding adieu forever to Bruce. “Caitlyn wanted to look as beautiful as possible,” a source says of the transgender E! star, who has had facial feminization surgeries and breast implants since taping her 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer in February. “She’s thrilled.” Now Jenner, 65, is prepping to receive the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the July 15 ESPYs, where her 10 Jenner and Kardashian kids will be by her side. “For the first time,” she said June 1, “I will be able to stand as my true self in front of my peers.” VISIT USMAGAZINE.COM FOR…

It’s about unity.”…

Doling out roses on The Bachelorette can be a thorny job. So before kicking off her journey to find love three months ago, Kaitlyn Bristowe sought out advice from past stars of the ABC franchise. Season 10 lead Andi Dorfman told Us she had several conversations with the outgoing Vancouver, British Columbia, resident. “I just told her to do your thing and don’t worry about the details,” said the aspiring fashion designer. Bristowe says her top takeaway from their talks was the importance of following her gut instinct. “She told me to always go with how I’m actually feeling, and not to get lost in the Bachelorette world,” Bristowe recently told Us. “To actually just go with my heart.” On the June 8 episode, her heart leads to Dorfman’s ex:…

Notoriously intense in his first run on The Bachelorette, Viall gave Dorfman an illustrated book of their romance and appealed to her in a letter after she split with him. (“To me, if there is no risk of being totally crushed . . . then there is no way it can be great,” he wrote.) But a source says he’s more than his aggressive persona. The religious family man (he has 10 siblings!), says a pal, “is fun-loving and social.”…

You’re gorgeous!” a fan screamed to Khloé Kardashian as the reality star arrived at a May 31 BookCon appearance in NYC. Dressed in a skintight David Koma dress, the 30-year-old demurred, “No, you’re gorgeous!” But thanks to five-times-a-week workouts with trainer Gunnar Peterson (think: cardio intervals, resistance bands and planks), the reality star is in her best shape ever. “She is driven and goal-oriented,” the pro tells Us. “She truly understands that what she does in the gym makes everything outside of it that much better.” FEELING FOX-Y Including her love life.

Chris Brown wasn’t a first-class act on a recent private jet ride across the Atlantic. “Chris came on board smoking a ton of pot,” an insider tells Hot Stuff. “The crew was concerned about inhaling the fumes.” Brown’s puffed-up response, according to the source? “He blew smoke at a flight attendant and said, ‘I paid $60,000 for this jet, so I own it and everyone inside.’” (The FAA prohibits in-flight smoking.) The seven-hour flight got bumpier when Brown, 26, tried the Jamaican jerk chicken he requested. “He took one bite before spitting it out.” He then slept most of the way, but lit up pre-landing and berated another attendant. The source recounts, “He told her, ‘What is your old ass doing here anyway? I like to have the help be…

With the demands of raising their six children, T.I. tells Us he and his wife, Tiny, keep the spark in their marriage by carving out time just for them. “We don’t call it ‘date night,’” jokes the 34-year-old star of VH1’s hit T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle. “That’s, like, middle-aged and not cool.

Whatever my next project is, I hope I wear jeans,” jokes Kit Harington, who trades in his cumbersome Game of Thrones furs for a military uniform in the World War I drama Testament of Youth (out June 5). The film is based on a memoir by Vera Brittain, which Harington read in high school. “I remembered it vividly,” says the London native, 28, who plays love-struck teenage soldier Roland (Brittain’s betrothed). Still, stepping into the combat boots proved a challenge. “The emotion that you go through every day is difficult,” he says of the intense filming. The actor reports for duty with Us. Q:Was it tricky playing a teen? The kind of cocksureness that 19-yearolds have felt so alien to me. The director [James Kent] had to keep reminding me…

Charcoal Juice Generation says the particles in its 90-calorie Activated Lemonade (Salma Hayek drinks it) detoxify the body. Dermatologist David Colbert agrees. When ingested in liquid, he says, charcoal “fights the impurities that we find in processed foods.” ($10 for 16 fluid ounces, juicegeneration.com) Zinc The mineral in facialist Sonya Dakar’s Ultima Power powder (loved by client Gwyneth Paltrow) “reduces inflammation,” which helps to clear blemishes, says Colbert, Sienna Miller’s doctor. Two spoonfuls mixed with water contain 9 milligrams for 160 calories. ($59 for 21.5 ounces, sonyadakarskinclinic.com) Coconut Oil Studies show the unprocessed compound can boost skin hydration and repair damaged hair. Though, Colbert cautions, “all the good fat” in Karlie Kloss’ 320-calorie morning mix, Fountain of Youth, will only make a difference if you “live a healthy lifestyle.” ($10…

In the past year, Kim Kardashian has televised her efforts to become pregnant again. She underwent in vitro fertilization, con sulted a cadre of doctors and joked that she had sex “500 times a day” with husband Kanye West. But there was one method she kept private: In December, says a source, the reality star secretly had surgery to repair damage to her uterus. Throughout the ordeal, staying positive became a challenge all its own. “Kim was really down about it,” a family source says of her struggle to conceive. “And she was worried.” As Kardashian recently told Glamour, “The waiting and waiting has been a roller coaster.” The ride is finally over. In a Keeping Up With the Kardashians clip that aired on E! May 31 (taped earlier that…

Taye Diggs is “hyped” about season 2 of TNT’s crime drama Murder in the First (premiering June 8, 10 p.m.). Unlike last season’s focus on solving the “who” behind the whodunit, this time “you know who the criminals are but have to figure out how they’re connected to the crimes,” says the 44-yearold actor, who plays homicide detective Terry English. “It’s pretty cool!” It’s also pretty violent. But that doesn’t stop the single star (Diggs and Idina Menzel ended their 11-year marriage in 2014) from bringing son Walker, 5, to set. “He comes [with a nanny] even when it’s not a kid-friendly scene,” says Diggs. “He’s more interested in what we do between takes!” THE FAMILY BIZ His mini-me might not be into the industry , but “he is crazy…

In her first leading role in eons, Danner delivers a performance that touches the heart. OPENS FRIDAY 6/5 Love & Mercy Brian Wilson’s biopic is as complex and fascinating as the man himself. His story toggles between two eras: a Beach Boy (Paul Dano) turning sun-kissed melodies into gold in the 1960s, and a soft- spoken man (John Cusack) lumbering around in a pill-fueled haze in the 1980s. The film provides great insight…
