Love isn’t always blind. Jessica Castro, who met and instantly wed Ryan De Nino on FYI’s Married at First Sight last December, is embroiled in a terrifying split. According to a June 11 restraining order petition, Castro, 30, alleges De Nino, 29, began making death threats when she discovered him cheating on Valentine’s Day. She further claims that after bringing up the alleged infidelity at the May taping of the social experiment series’ reunion, he was caught on a live mic warning, “She’s f--king dead.” (De Nino, a business consultant, responded on Instagram June 13, posting that he was “disgusted” by the filing.) For their part, producers claim participants submit to “extensive background and psychological checks.” Still, Castro’s lawyer tells Us his client fears for her life: “Jessica is very…

Taryn Manning’s mane dilemma: “I have very fine hair,” admits the star of Orange Is the New Black.

DULY NOTED “I never know when the mood will strike to write a song or poem , so I make sure there is always a journal around.” HEELING POWER “ I run in heels for hours, and Sole Serum is a miracle!

KIM & KANYE No Girls Allowed! Kardashian and West shell out for a male heir Kim Kardashian put all of her eggs in one basket. The pregnant reality star, 34, and husband Kanye West, 38, underwent an IVF gender-selection process this spring to predetermine baby No. 2’s sex. “She only had boy embryos implanted,” says a source close to Kardashian, who confirmed the gender June 21 after Us broke the news. During the procedure — which can start at roughly $17,000 — doctors isolate fertilized embryos of the preferred sex in a lab, then transfer them to a uterus. “Kanye and Kim are so excited to complete their family,” says another source of the parents of daughter North, 2. “Kim would have happily taken a healthy baby, but being able…

Taylor Swift took a bite out of Apple. After learning the company’s new streaming service, Apple Music, would not pay artists during its three-month free trial, the singer, 25, blasted the tech giant on Tumblr June 21. “I find it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company,” she wrote in an open letter explaining why she had pulled her 1989 album. “We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.” Just 17 hours later, Apple announced it was reversing the policy. “We hear you @taylorswift13,” senior executive Eddy Cue tweeted. Later, Swift’s DJ boyfriend, Calvin Harris, 31, sang her praises on Twitter, writing: “My girl just changed the entire music industry.” This Week’s…

At the gym, Carrie Underwood is a live wire. Before slipping into a skintight, white Thomas Wylde mini for the June 10 CMT Music Awards — her first red carpet appearance since giving birth to son Isaiah February 27 — the country singer powered through thrice-weekly hourlong workouts with Nashville-based trainer Erin Oprea. To get pumped for the high-intensity routines (think pushups, squats, sprints), the 5-foot-3 stunner turned to a hair band. “When I’m working out, I like angry music — hard rock, like Mötley Crüe radio,” the 32-year-old, wed to hockey pro Mike Fisher, 35, told Us. “Or stuff I listened to in high school, like Disturbed. It makes me like, ‘Grrr!’” To create the ultimate get-beach-ready-by-next- weekend guide, Us consulted the fiercest figures in Hollywood — from Underwood…

Khloé Kardashian was too sad for the happiest place on earth. While the family gathered to celebrate her niece North West’s second birthday at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, June 15, Auntie Koko begged off. Just a day earlier, Jamie Sangouthai — the ex–best friend of her estranged husband, Lamar Odom — had died from an infection caused by intravenous drug use. The sudden passing of the 37-year-old, who had often crashed at the couple’s home in L.A.’s Tarzana, left her in no mood to party. Confirms a Kardashian source, “Khloé was upset about Jamie.” She was also worried about Odom.

They’ll always have Cannes. Multiple sources reveal that Charlize Theron split from Sean Penn shortly after the pair’s trip to the French city’s famed film festival in May. “It ended abruptly,” an insider says of the Oscar- winning actress, 39, who started dating her longtime friend in January 2014 and quietly accepted his proposal later that year. “If you get on her bad side, she finds it hard to forgive.” And sources say the duo are unlikely to go back to being pals. “He already got the ring back,” says a Penn source.

Lacing up a corset should have felt old hat to Kate Winslet. “It was like, Back to basics, here we go,” the period-film pro jokes of donning 17th century garb for her role as a landscape artist at the Palace of Versailles in A Little Chaos (out June 26). But being in her first trimester of pregnancy with son Bear, now 18 months, added an, er, bump. “The corset from that time period actually stops right on your navel,” recalls the Brit, also mom of Mia, 14, and Joe, 11. “So that was not an issue. It was really just what to do with the boobs!” The 39-year-old (wed to businessman Ned Rocknroll, 37) fills Us in. Q: You kept your pregnancy a secret from nearly everyone on set. Why?…

Two years ago, Kacey Musgraves took Nashville by storm with strummy, substantive tunes chronicling smalltown melodrama and advocating for pot use and gay rights.
