Back in January, Chrissy Metz told People that she was planning on dropping some kilos this year for the sake of her health. “Not for anybody but myself,” the This Is Us fave revealed. “I want to have a fit, healthy body and not have to be put in a box. i don’t want to be limited by anything.” But with the actress, 37, seemingly struggling to achieve her body goals, concerned pals are now apparently gearing up to stage an intervention to get her on track ASAP! “Nobody agrees with body shaming, and Chrissy is a wonderful woman who’s entitled to choose whatever path she wants for herself physically and emotionally,” an insider tells NW. “But some are starting to feel that’s it’s really time Chrissy took some ownership.…

Chris Hemsworth has admitted he tried acting like Hollywood bad boys Colin Farrell and Russell Crowe to try and boost his career back in 2007. “I remember trying to be Colin... Thinking, ‘People love the bad boy.’ Going out and being sort of reckless. But no-one cared,” the actor, 35, tells US GQ mag. “I came into Hollywood thinking I had to be Russell Crowe. I think I was aware that it could kind of get me in the door. But it wasn’t me.” And the act certainly didn’t fool Chris’s future wifey Elsa Pataky. “He was a very mature person for his age,” she recalls. “I could totally feel that he loved kids. It’s something that just melts you, as a woman.”…

Pamela Anderson is about to become a mum again at 51 – as it’s been revealed the Baywatch star and her French footballer fiancée Adil Rami, 32, are starting IVF to have a child together! “She had her eggs frozen years ago and is determined to have a baby with Adil,” a source tells the Daily Star Sunday. “Although Pamela knows the process can be grueling at her age with no guarantee of success.” Pamela shares sons Brandon, 22, and Dylan, 20, with ex-husband Tommy Lee, and both boys are said to be “excited by the prospect of having a new sibling”.

Bethenny Frankel’s ex-hubby Jason Hoppy (left) is really kicking the reality star while she’s down! Yep, Jason looks to be using the fatal overdose of Beth’s on-off boyfriend Dennis Shields on August 10 as ammunition in the former couple’s ongoing custody battle over their daughter Bryn, eight. Jason’s attorney made shocking claims against The Real Houswives of New York star in court on August 16, accusing her of “dangerous parenting”. “Dennis spent a great deal of time with Bryn... when Ms Frankel wasn’t around... What does that say about Ms Frankel’s parenting that she would allow this person to care for her daughter?” Jason’s attorney Robert Wallack reportedly asked the judge. He then accused Bethenny of being a drug user herself, and suggested the star “appeared to be intoxicated... saying…

BREAK-UP WITH YOUNES Kourt might act like she’s as cool as a cucumber, but insiders say she’s pining over her ex Younes. “All Kourtney seems to do these days is hover over her phone as though she’s waiting for Younes to call, telling her he misses her,” NW’s source says of the “depressed” star. KLASHING WITH THE OTHER KARDASHIANS Kourt’s once-close bond with Kim and Khloe is kaput. “They hardly see her and when they do have to hang out contractually to film their TV show, she’s silent and snaps at everyone,” says a source. NO LEANING ON LOVED-UP SCOTT While Kourt was once able to rely on ex Scott as a sounding board, he’s no longer available at the drop of a hat to comfort…

I’ve never been a massive Jennifer Garner fan – I haven’t watched a lot of her movies and, to be honest, for a long time I thought she was a bit of a snore. Give me Jennifer Lopez (that VMAs performance – page 2 – WOW!) or Jennifer Aniston any day! But lately, I’ve developed a massive crush on Jen G. And it became next level last week when the heartbreaking photos emerged of the star making a desperate dash to ex-hubby Ben Affleck and rushing him to rehab in a bid to save his life. (Read about it on page 16.) I mean, what a legend. Jen is clearly someone you want by your side in your hour of need. Despite a week of utter embarrassment at the hands…

Talk about a week of highs and lows! Just two days before she checked Ben into rehab, Jen was honoured with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. While Ben was noticeably absent from the August 20 ceremony, Jen was joined by their kids Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six, and several other loved ones. “Today for me is a moment to mark 24 years really joyfully lived, in a job that I love so much.

Mark Wahlberg and his director buddy Peter Berg have fast become known as the “disaster artists”, and while their love for bringing true stories to the big screen has seen a trifecta of real-life tales become box office successes – Lone Survivor , Deep Water Horizon and Patriots Day – the duo have now decided to have some fictional fun with Mile 22 .

And sources now say the Ocean’s 8 star is putting the brakes on her Hollywood career to take care of her ailing 93-year-old dad John in Birmingham, Alabama. “Sandy absolutely worships her dad and wants to be there for him in his twilight years,” a friend tells NW.

Ariana Grande’s family is urging her to press pause on her upcoming wedding until her fiancé Pete Davidson sobers up!

After smelling marijuana, police did a search of the car and found a lunch box full of weed.

So when an old demo of Tucker’s hit record arrives in the post, Annie writes a scathing review. While Duncan, of course, believes the “betrayal” is brutal, it turns out…
