Melissa Joan Hart is a ball of nerves now that her sons Mason, 15, Braydon, 13, and Tucker, 8, with hubby Mark Wilkerson are all getting older. “I let [Mason] drive the other day with his permit just down the street, and I freaked out!” Hart, 45, tells Us, noting that helping the teen prepare for his license has been very scary. “My son was like, ‘You’re the worst. You’re terrible to be in the car with.’” Back at home, the Sabrina the Teenage Witch alum is focusing on setting limits on her boys’ internet use. “I just allowed one of my kids to have some social [media] but with very, very serious limitations on that,” shares Hart, adding that she worries about their video game use as well. “It’s…

Brad Pitt scored a major win in mid-May when a judge granted him joint custody of the five minor kids he shares with ex Angelina Jolie. But a source tells Us the 57-year-old actor isn’t in a very celebratory mood after spending years locked in a bitter custody war with Jolie — and he’s doing some intensive therapy to deal with the stress as he prepares to start over. “The ongoing legal battle with Angie has caused Brad to sink into a deep depression,” says an insider. “He’s getting therapy once a week to help him cope.” As Us previously reported, Jolie, 46, is planning to appeal the court’s recent decision. “Brad is devastated that Angie is still playing hardball,” says the source. “He’s been desperately trying to get her…

Life may finally be going back to normal, but that doesn’t mean the world will look as it once did — especially for youngsters. “This pandemic has had a devastating impact on children,” Dr. Phil McGraw tells Us exclusively, noting that there’s been a rise in mental health problems. Between the school closures and inability to see loved ones, “these kids have lost so much that’s important to their development.” As a solution, the talk show host, 70 — who recently teamed up with the Congressional Mental Health Caucus — recommends talking things out with children and easing them into reentry with trips to the park or to the store. Says McGraw, “You don’t have to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” Even if you’re not a parent, he…

Matthew Perry was on an upswing. During the final months of 2020, the beloved actor was gearing up to film the highly anticipated HBO Max Friends reunion special and looking forward to settling down with the love of his life, literary manager Molly Hurwitz, after popping the question in November. But in recent weeks, the troubled star’s world has come crashing down around him. In early May, a 20-year-old TikTok user posted a cringe-worthy exchange she’d had with the 51-year-old star after they matched on the celebrity dating site, Raya, last year. His May 27 appearance in the Friends special sparked concern by fans who claimed he seemed off-kilter and was slurring his words. Then, on June 1, Perry announced he and Hurwitz, 29, had called off their engagement. “Sometimes…

Angela Bassett’s twins Bronwyn and Slater are growing up quick! In fact, the actress tells Us that Bronwyn, 15, has even started dating. “Sometimes I’ll have the nerve to ask, ‘Have, you kissed?’ And she says, ‘No.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, OK, well that wasn’t my journey,’” says Bassett, 62. But still, “It’s sweet.” Here, the 9-1-1 star — who shares Bronwyn and Slater with husband Courtney B. Vance — talks more about raising teens. Q: Is Slater interested in dating? He just wants to work on his music. He likes to write lyrics and raps, and that’s just fine. Q: How did quarantine go? Not as hard as I imagined it would. They each had a friend bubble. It was a blessing to be in California where you can…

It’s full speed ahead for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who’ve been nearly inseparable since reconnecting in early May. An insider tells Us that Affleck has already met Lopez’s twins (she shares Emme and Max, 13, with ex Marc Anthony). “Ben is great with kids, and that’s what really rekindled Jennifer’s attraction to him,” says an insider. “She saw how well he interacted with her children and fell back in love with him.” A second source says they’re planning to introduce their kids to each other soon (Affleck, 48, shares Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, with former wife Jennifer Garner). “They wouldn’t normally do it so quickly,” says the second source, “but because of their history and how fast things are moving, it’s the obvious next step.” MAKING…
