Khloé Kardashian is devastated over her latest split from Tristan Thompson — mostly because she was hoping to give their daughter, True, 3, a sibling in the near future. But after the NBA player, 30, was caught allegedly cheating at a party, she’d had it. “Khloé is absolutely fuming Tristan humiliated her again,” a source tells Us. “She suspected he was cheating, but seemed to be OK with it as long as it wasn’t made public.” The source adds that Kardashian, 37, knows she’ll have another baby in the future — it just won’t be with Thompson: “Khloé hasn’t given up on love.”…

CHRISTINA AGUILERA Britney’s former Mickey Mouse Club costar called the situation “devastating.” “She deserves all the TRUE love and support in the world,” shared Aguilera. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE The hitmaker, who dated Britney 20 years ago, spoke out after her court hearing. “We should all be supporting Britney… what’s happening to her is just not right.” KEVIN FEDERLINE Through his lawyer, the singer’s ex-husband and father to her two teen sons had her back: “[Kevin thinks] Britney has not been served well by the conservatorship.” JAMIE LYNN SPEARS “If [it’s] ending the conservatorship and flying to Mars — or whatever the hell else she wants to do to be happy — I support that 100 percent,” said Britney’s sis.…

HUSBANDS & WIVES Just six months after she called off her engagement to Affleck, Lopez wed singer Marc Anthony. A year later, in 2005, Affleck married Jennifer Garner in Mexico. REBOUND ROMANCES In 2011, a newly divorced Lopez shacked up with younger backup dancer Beau “Casper” Smart. Affleck moved on from his 2015 split from Garner with TV producer Lindsay Shookus. FUN FLINGS Us confirmed Lopez and Drake had “died down” a month after sparking dating rumors in 2017. In 2018, Affleck had a two-month dalliance with Playboy model Shauna Sexton. PRETTY SERIOUS Lopez broke up with fiancé Alex Rodriguez in April amid cheating allegations. In January, a source told Us Ana de Armas had “called things off” with Affleck after nearly a year of dating.…

There’s no dispute that the original female Avenger has deserved her own stand-alone movie since she drop-kicked her first villain. But, why such a forgettable one? We’re in the post-Sokovia Accords era (as seen in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War), and our heroine (Scarlett Johansson) is on her own. She’s soon drawn back into her old life as a Russian agent killing machine — which means reuniting with her “sister” (Florence Pugh), “mother” (Rachel Weisz) and “father” (David Harbour). Nearly every element here is akin to one-leap forward, two-leaps back: A promising revenge story devolves into silliness when body pheromones are used as a weapon; tense choreography is hampered by a reliance on CGI-enhanced set pieces (a basic jail break involves an avalanche and a near-helicopter crash). Bring on Marvel…

1. My favorite thing to make is bread from scratch. It’s a 12-hour process! 2. I’m an organizing freak. There isn’t a drawer or closet that I can’t organize into perfection. 3. One of my favorite organizing hacks is to put wooden clothespins on folded jeans with their size and style written in Sharpie, so you don’t have to pull them down to know. 4. I’ve never not had a pet. 5. I’ve replaced alcohol (for the most part) with a THC drink called Calexo and I’ve never felt better. 6. My favorite book is A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. 7. I’m obsessed with candy, but I eat healthy, so I’ve had to find alternatives. I’ll take these keto cookie-dough protein bars by Bhu Foods, freeze them…

When Prince William, 39, and Prince Harry, 36, reunited in London to unveil a statue honoring their late mother, Princess Diana, on July 1, their actions were cordial. However, sources tell Us that things are still strained behind-the-scenes between the feuding brothers. “At first, they were frosty, and no one knew what to say,” says an insider, “but as the day progressed, they warmed up to each other and became civil and respectful.” Still, another source warns that their friendly union is hanging by a thread. “Tensions were running high when they met privately before the public appearance,” says the source. “You got the feeling their peace talks could explode at any moment.” LISTEN UP!

Le Bernardin chef Eric Ripert remembers the first few weeks of the pandemic like they were yesterday. “We closed the restaurant on March 13, 2020. It was devastating,” says the French culinary icon. “I was especially concerned about the employees who live pay-check to paycheck.” The upscale NYC seafood eatery (power couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen and actor Richard Gere are regulars) reopened twice as Covid wreaked havoc on the hospitality industry but has now re-turned to full capacity. “It’s very good news,” says Ripert. “Our clientele has been so supportive. It’s incredible.” Chef Judy Joo talks to the Vegetable Simple author about surviving lock-down, his work with City Harvest and his career highlights. How did you cope during lockdown? I was naive at first, thinking Le Bernardin would…

For the cast of Mike White’s The White Lotus — which follows a group on a Hawaiian vacation to a resort filled with mystery — signing on for the dark comedy (July 11 on HBO) was a no brainer. “It was very funny,” Steve Zahn tells Us of the script, “but also very real.” Connie Britton, who portrays a Goop exec and Zahn’s wife, agrees admitting that while she jumped at the chance to star as a “strong woman,” she was even more excited to play one who is “really f**king it up.” THE LAUGHS Everyone on set can crack up a room, but it was Jennifer Coolidge who made it nearly impossible not to break. “There were multiple times where I had to drift my eyes away not to…

Snooki’s Secret Mum’s the word! Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s children know about her time on MTV’s Jersey Shore — but think that she was acting. “I tell them that it’s not real,” says the Messyness host, 33, adding that she plans to wait until her kids — Lorenzo, 8, Giovanna, 6, and Angelo, 2 — are at least “16 or 17” to let the cat out of the bag. “I don’t think they’re ready for that yet!” Here, Polizzi shares more with Us. Q: How will you go about telling your kids the truth? I’ll say, “Listen, Mommy had some crazy years before she was a mommy. She let loose. Whatever you see on TV back then, just do the opposite of what I did.” Q: Do you want more kids? I…

Britney Spears has no plans to go back to being controlled by her father, Jamie Spears, 69 — in fact, the pop star, 39, is ready to wage war to get him out of her life for good. “Britney’s done with her dad and plans on suing him if her conservatorship isn’t lifted,” a source tells Us. “The papers are currently being drafted. She can’t even imagine a world in which Jamie is left in control of her life.” Jamie, who currently lives out of an RV in Louisiana, has stayed mostly quiet in recent weeks, though he did file a petition on June 29 requesting that the court “investigate the veracity” of the claims made by his daughter. “He still has that aloof and mysterious vibe he’s had about him…

When audiences first met Jen Dixon in 2017’s Class Mom, she was a snarky kindergarten parent that everyone could relate to. Fast-forward four years — and another novel — and she’s killing it! Jen’s a member of the PTA and a spin instructor. THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM Laurie Gelman’s first two novels in the series were a hit — and it would be shocking if Yoga Pant Nation (out July 13) didn’t follow suit. The story takes place in present times — and Gelman doesn’t shy away from pointing out just that. Luckily, it doesn’t come off as a crutch, but as a successful building block.…
