My life is really exposed,” Selena Gomez told Us September 19. But she kept one struggle private. In a new interview with Billboard, the singer revealed an autoimmune disease led her to cancel part of her early 2014 Stars Dance tour. “I was diagnosed with lupus,” the pop star, 23, said, “and I’ve been through chemotherapy.” Roughly half of patients with the disorder, which causes inflammation of the skin and joints, also have kidney or other organ problems that can be “severe,” explains Dr. Howard R. Smith, director of the lupus clinic at Cleveland Clinic. In those patients, chemo drugs “help suppress the immune system,” which is what’s attacking the body. Without treatment, Gomez told the mag, “I could’ve had a stroke.” ROAD TO RECOVERY Her mental health was also…

WAY WITH WORDS “My husband leaves me articles he wants me to read about something we were talking about, like Latino culture. Or he’ll drop a little note in my bag saying, ‘I hope your day goes well! I love you.’ It’s supersweet!” SAVING FACE “I have a cherry-red L’Oréal lip crayon. I use it on my lips, cheeks and eyes. When I look in the mirror and I’m like, ‘Oh, no!’ I use it to…

Being pals with Bradley Cooper has its perks. When the actor and producer, 40, began casting the CBS series Limitless (based on his 2011 film), he campaigned for Jake McDorman to get the lead role. “It gave me a huge boost of confidence knowing I had Bradley on my team,” says the Dallas native, 29, who played a Navy SEAL alongside the Oscar nominee in 2014’s American Sniper. After nailing his audition, McDorman got the good news from his buddy that he’d landed the part in the hit sci-fi thriller (Tuesdays, 10 p.m.): “He texted me when I was on the treadmill!” ADRENALINE JUNKIE McDorman plays Brian, an FBI asset who takes a drug to give him superhuman intelligence.

Whenever Rosie O’Donnell’s five adopted children had questions about their origins, she had answers ready. If they asked whether they “grew in her tummy,” for instance, her explanation was simple. “I said, ‘You grew in another lady’s tummy. God saw there was a mix-up, so he made sure you got to me,’” she recalled last year. “And they’d say, ‘Yeah, we’re a good match.’ Isn’t that the sweetest thing?” But one child has soured on her mother’s tale. In an explosive interview with the U.K.’s Daily Mail October 6, Rosie’s daughter Chelsea, 18, slammed the 53-year-old, also mom of Parker, 20, Blake, 15, and Vivienne, 12 (with ex Kelli Carpenter, 48), and 2-year-old Dakota (with ex Michelle Rounds, 44). Calling her a phony, she accused her of neglecting her kids.…

OUT FRIDAY 10/16 Demi Lovato Confident Demi Lovato is one of our finest vocalists. No, seriously: Take a listen to “Stone Cold,” a mind- blowing torch song in the middle of her fifth disc, to silence any doubts. For further evidence, there’s “Father,” an analogous open letter to her deceased dad, and a shower of flashy (if standard issue) electro-pop, à la the smash “Cool for the Summer” and anthemic “Yes.” There’s nothing left to prove. MY TOP MOVIE TRACKS! Andrea Bocelli, 57 — whose film-themed CD, Cinema, is out October 23 — reels Us in CHEEK TO CHEEK / TOP HAT “As a boy, I played the Frank Sinatra version of this over and over again.” BE MY LOVE / THE TOAST OF NEW ORLEANS “This ardent declaration of love was…
