Justin Timberlake is working overtime to repair his marriage to Jessica Biel, which has been in peril ever since photos surfaced last month of J.T. holding hands with his Palmer costar Alisha Wainwright. Though the star issued an Instagram mea culpa (reportedly at his wife’s insistence), a source tells Us, “He’s in the doghouse. Word is Jessica came close to leaving him.” And he may not be out of the woods yet. Timberlake showed up to a recent event solo, which another source says is telling: “They always attend together. It was surprising.” For his part, Timberlake is “acting very contrite and being super hands-on with Silas,” the couple’s 4-year-old son (right, with Mom and Dad in happier times). But that may not be enough. Says the second source, “The…

Earlier this month, Amanda Bynes reportedly left her sober-living facility, leading to speculation about her well-being. Now a source confirms to Us that she did leave but has “never been lost or missing,” adding that her parents knew about it. ALL’S WELL? The actress, 33, who’s endured mental health issues in recent years, went to rehab in March. After that she moved to sober living, and the source says she’s left before to attend events and appear in court, like on Dec. 12 when she appeared with her lawyer, her mother, Lynn Bynes, and Lynn’s attorney to discuss her conservatorship. “The plan is for Amanda to go back to the sober-living facility,” says the source, who adds that a departure isn’t uncommon for “anyone dealing with sobriety and mental health…

I literally have a stack of [cards],” she says of her rewards vouchers for Sephora, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and other faves. Arnold, 50, tells Us what else she holds dear. OFF-KEY “My mother said anybody with a lot of keys is a weirdo. I just carry my car key and house key.” ON CALL “I have three iPhones and a Galaxy.

AnnaLynne McCord has had a life-altering year. The actress, who rose to fame playing Naomi Clark on 90210, had a revelation on Aug. 16, 2018, after under-going eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), which uses interactive techniques to help relieve psychological stress. “I remembered,” she tells Us of repressed memories of sexual abuse that surfaced during treatment, “and my whole life changed.” The revelations were life-shattering — “How could someone suddenly realize she didn’t know anything about her life at all?” — but also inspired her to fight for other survivors. McCord shares her story with Us. One month after her 31st birthday, McCord went to a therapy session with the goal of integrating her mind and body. (Her physician is an M.D. and licensed clinical psychologist, and a…

Q: What else is Briar into? She likes baby dolls. She really likes all the girly things. Q: What’s on her Christmas list? She wants this 6-foot-tall dinosaur stuffed animal.

WEDNESDAY 12/25 Little Women Three cheers (and five hankies) for this moving adaption of the Louisa May Alcott classic. Your CliffsNotes: The creative March sisters — headstrong writer Jo (Saoirse Ronan), marriage-minded Meg (Emma Watson), painter Amy (stand-out Florence Pugh) and ailing Beth (Eliza Scanlen) — stand by each other in good times and sad in the aftermath of the Civil War. But this version is more spitfire than warm hearth. Director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) brings modern sensibilities to the 19th-century proceedings, as the heroines explore a world far beyond their cozy homestead. In an early scene, while traveling with her aunt (Meryl Streep) in Paris, a grown Amy spots her dreamy childhood friend Laurie (Timothée Chalamet). Jo, meanwhile, goes tête-à-tête with a prickly publisher. (The unnecessary nonlinear approach…

Since welcoming baby Drew in October, Shawn Johnson and Andrew East “couldn’t picture” life without their little girl. “The pride and love just comes so naturally,” the Olympian, 27, gushes to Us — but her parenting journey hasn’t been all golden moments. Johnson, like a lot of moms, has struggled with breastfeeding, explaining that after being an “amazing eater” for a week, Drew stopped nursing. There were “a lot of meltdowns and a lot of tears” for both of them, the Couple Things podcast cohost admits to Us. “I felt like I was failing my daughter.” Now the 1-month-old drinks from a bottle, and the gymnast credits her husband, 28, with helping her get through the trying time. “He’s the most patient individual ever,” she says. Not only did East…

It’d be easy to imagine falling apart after a cancer diagnosis, much less three. But three-time breast cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John, 71, says she feels great and that cancer won’t be the end of her story. “Something’s going to get me one day [but] it’s not going to be [cancer]!” she told Us on Dec. 13 at Julien’s Auctions, to which she’d donated legendary pieces from her collection to benefit the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Center in Melbourne.
