“When I just look like s--t and want to go outside and eat a churro and not have anyone up my a--.“ On her least favorite thing about being famous,KIM KARDASHIAN “Whoever is competing at the Olympics is really a superhero….

Well before Hoda Kotb adopted daughter Haley, she knew the 13-month-old was out there. “I felt her,” explains the Today cohost, who parents with partner Joel Schiffman, 59. “I would scribble in my journal about how I wish, I pray, I hope that maybe one day.” One of her notes — “I’ve loved you since forever” — became the title for the book she now gets to read to her “blessing.” Says Kotb, “She was totally enamored by it.” The 53-year-old draws Us in. Q: Are you a nervous mom? Sometimes. But also more patient. I remember Joel was out of town and Haley needed to be fed. Then the dog knocked over a picture. She’s crying, he’s barking, there’s poop on the floor, glass is broken. I was like,…

The weekend should have been joyous. Beau — the youngest of Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s five children — was set to turn 1 on March 2, and his crew was looking forward to celebrating. But at 7:17 a.m. the day before his birthday, police sirens blasted through the morning air as they raced to the family’s Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, home, responding to a 9-1-1 call for a female with possible mental illness. While an investigating police officer told Us, “it was a domestic incident” with “no arrest and no transport,” it’s little comfort for those closest to the reality star, who nearly suffered a breakdown. Notes a Spelling insider, “Her friends and family are all very, very worried.” Petrified, really. With five children under the age of 11,…

Andy Favreau always does his homework. Before filming Mindy Kaling’s latest brainchild, Champions, “I read all of her books,” admits the actor. “Watching The Office and The Mindy Project helped me a bunch too. I get her humor.” His research paid off. On the NBC comedy (premiering March 8, 9:30 P.M.) Favreau plays gym rat Matthew, who gains an unexpected roommate when his older brother learns about — and decides to take in — his teenage son. “I knew this part was perfect for me,” explains the 33-year-old. “He’s a little dim, but he certainly makes up for it in his pure-hearted nature. Matthew has the innocence and energy of an actual child. But that makes him so lovable!” Reading the script, Favreau was hooked: “I thought, ‘I can do…

At the end of her journey for love, Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay was sporting more than a Neil Lane diamond. “I deserved it,” the 32-year-old says of buying her YSL. Should things have fizzled with Bryan Abasolo, 38, it would’ve been a consolation prize: “In case it didn’t work with a man, I had a bag.” She shows off her pick. OPENING UP “I have the Sex and the City Love keychain, but of course I’m classy, so it has a beer bottle opener on the end of it. I got it right before I was going to go on The Bachelor. I saw that as a sign.” HER NUMBER ONE “I’m very big on asking for business cards. I just believe in networking. I have Bryan’s cards — clearly I’m…

CHRISSY & JOHN Sometimes, John Legend, 39, wishes snap-happy Chrissy Teigen wasn’t so social. While crafting tweets and Instagram posts, “there have definitely been times when he was like, ‘Don’t say that,’” the 32-year-old model, who is expecting a boy this summer, recalled. “John got a nosebleed at Body by Simone and I immediately pulled out my phone, because I’m like, ‘Oh my God, he’s got a nosebleed from stretching deeply!’ I was about to snap, and he goes, ‘No, I don’t want this to be the story!’” ASHTON & MILA For That ‘70s Show costars Ashton Kutcher, 40, and wife Mila Kunis, 34, it was hardly love at first sight. “I think she thought that I was good-looking, and then shortly thereafter, I was just annoying to her because…

Things didn’t go quite as planned for Heidi Montag in the baby bump department. “I thought I would gain maybe 20 or 30 pounds during my pregnancy,” the new mom tells Us. “But I gained over 45.” That made the February day when she slipped into her “first pair of jeans that weren’t maternity” even more thrilling. “It was very exciting,” says Montag. “It made me realize I’d lost a lot of weight.” Not that she was trying. Since welcoming son Gunner with husband Spencer Pratt Oct. 1, the Hills alum tells Us she’s been so busy caring for her newborn that she “wasn’t really concerned with getting in shape right away. I wanted to give it time.” As the 31-year-old notes, “I just had a baby. I’m very emotional.”…

“WHISKEY AND YOU” / CHRIS STAPLETON “Chris’ voice and the emotion in this are unbelievable. It’s a go-to sound check song.” “SPACE COWBOY” / KACEY MUSGRAVES “I was in awe when I heard this — writer’s envy. Kacey is one of my favorite artists.” “LOVE LIES” / KHALID & NORMANI “When this first came out, I listened to it 10 times in a row. They both crush this.” “YOU MAKE IT EASY” / JASON ALDEAN “Jason always kills it. I also had a hand in writing it, so I’m a little biased.” “BORN TO LOVE YOU” / LANCO “I grew up in a small town, going into church every time the doors were open, so I understand the first verse.” “PAIN” / THE WAR ON DRUGS “This keeps me sucked…

Hendricks’ horror flick The Strangers: Prey at Night is out March 9. 1. I love knitting. Especially cable-knit sweaters’cause they look so impressive! 2. My favorite movie is the original Fame. Its depiction of the young struggling artist is real and raw, and I love the grittiness of NYC in 1980. 3. I’ve seen Hamilton three times and I cry every time. The creativity that went into that overwhelms me. 4. I love chinoiserie design in interior spaces as well as fabric and clothing. 5. Campfires are my favorite smell. I adore the smokiness it leaves on my clothes. 6. I trained as a ballet dancer from ages 9 to 19. 7. The first musical I was in: Bye Bye Birdie as a chorus member, in Twin Falls, Idaho. 8.…

BECCA KUFRIN THE NEW BACHELORETTE! Becca Kufrin is ready for an amazing journey. Though the Minnesota-based publicist was left shattered when fiancé Arie Luyendyk Jr. dumped her to take up with his Bachelor runner-up Lauren Burnham, she was happy to accept ABC’s rose. “She is very excited to be the next Bachelorette,” says a show insider. While it took the 27-year-old “a little time” to agree to appear as the show’s season 14 lead, it wasn’t because she was still hung up on the Scottsdale, Arizona, race car driver, 36. “She’s completely over him and that wasn’t what was holding her back from saying yes,” explains the source. “She’s more worried that America will think she’s not there for the right reasons and isn’t ready to find her husband. But…

Rise and dine — that’s one of the messages nutritionist Haylie Pomroy delivers in her new tome Metabolism Revolution. To help speed your metabolism, says the pro, who has worked with Reese Witherspoon, chow down five times a day, avoid caffeine and “eat within 30 minutes of waking.” She shares one of her top a.m. recipes, packed with the veggies she says balance hormone distribution and stimulate the release of stubborn fat, with Us.

For Sterling K. Brown, it was a big disappointment. In a This Is Us flashforward, the Emmy winner’s pragmatic Randall appears to be, um, fat. “His big, round face really annoyed the bejesus out of me,” quips the actor. “I’ll tell you, I think I went to the gym after. I was like, ‘This will not happen!’” Aging — perhaps not so gracefully — just adds to the earnest and relatable tone of the NBC tearjerker (Tuesdays, 9 p.m.). “People tell us how they see themselves in us. The beauty of the show is that it highlights these things that connect us rather than those that separate us,” adds the 41-year-old. “I feel like in today’s climate, that’s one of the most important messages we can share with humanity: This…
