For those in Britney Spears’ inner circle, a few tantrums here and there are almost a daily event. But sources exclusively tell NW that during her recent 38th birthday vacay in Miami with boyfriend Sam Asghari, a spectacular outburst by the troubled pop princess almost saw her sectioned yet again for the sake of her mental health. According to one insider, Brit – who is obsessed with her image and addicted to googling herself – went into a full-scale meltdown after pictures surfaced online of her lying poolside in a purple bikini. “Britney picked at every little dimple and lump, and began ranting that they must have been photoshopped,” says the source. “Sam assured her they hadn’t – which then made her freak out that if she really looked like…

Jenna Dewan claimed she was in a “joyful new place” after her divorce from Channing Tatum was finalised in November. But insiders say the Magic Mike hunk’s new missus Jessie J is making things messy between the exes again. Uh-oh... In an item posted on the website Blind Gossip, which many surmised was about Jessie, a source claims the Brit singer has been telling Channing that Jenna’s “doing an Angelina” and trying to paint him out to be a deadbeat dad – just like Ange did to Brad! NW’s spy confirms that Jessie is indeed being a real “fly in the ointment” as Jenna and Channing fight it out for custody over their daughter Everly, six. “People are saying that Jessie’s influencing him against Jenna,” an insider tells NW. “All…

There’s a Monster rumour going round and we’ve got the photos that seem to prove it – Charlize Theron is expecting! The typically svelte 44-year-old is thought to be happily single right now, but there’s no denying her tummy is looking rounder lately! “She’s gained weight, but only around the middle,” notes a source. “I’d say she was pregnant for sure – the only thing is, she hasn’t had a proper relationship in forever.” But a separate insider tells NW that ever since the end of her engagement to actor Sean Penn in 2015, Charlize has enjoyed a host of no-strings-attached hook-ups with some of the world’s hottest men. So it’s no Long Shot to say the daddy could be a doozy! ‘SHE’S HAD HER PICK OF THE HOTTEST ACTORS’…

Fingers crossed they didn’t “all fall down” on that dirty pavement! Photo Bombshell Not much could steal the spotlight from Margot Robbie’s voluminous violet gown at the Bombshell premiere in LA... except her co-star Connie Britton, that is.

From The Block to the beach Life shore is sunny after you bank $730,000 on…

Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 21  Because Mercury is in your own sign until the end of this month, you won’t have to worry about affairs of the heart going wrong. Normally, the silly season tends to make you too intense and that hasn’t always fared well for romance. However, this Christmas, you’ll be feeling rather more zen than usual. A partner, suitor or secret admirer should find your laidback and unassuming ways most attractive. Capricorn DEC 22 – JAN 20  Saturn and Jupiter join forces this fortnight in a bid to bring you closer to a particular circle of friends. The latter have been neglected badly of late and now you seem keen to start making amends. Your atonement for social sins of the past could come in the…

What are you waiting for? Turn the page for all the tea! Meanwhile, our must-read 2019 wrap-up (page 22) has me reflecting on a massive 12 months. Obvs, seeing the Spice Girls live in the UK was a highlight for this ’90s pop tragic, as was being bridesman at my bestie’s wedding – but even better (sorry,…

Heather Locklear could find herself behind bars if it turns out she’s abusing prescription meds. Eek! The fallen Melrose Place star had barely left an LA pharmacy when she opened a pill bottle and downed some of its contents! “It’s worrying she couldn’t wait until she got in the car or home,” says a source. There’s no indication Heather, 58, took more than a prescribed dose, but her erratic behaviour has led to numerous run-ins with police. In August, she pleaded no contest to eight misdemeanor charges of battery and resisting officers for incidents that happened in 2018. To avoid jail time, she agreed to spend 30 days in a treatment program and was placed on informal probation for three years. “Heather’s broken her sobriety many times before, but this…

For someone who infamously declared that “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”, the new curves Kate Moss is rocking prove the oncewaifish supermodel is chowing down on more than bubbly and ciggies these days. The 45-year-old – who weighed a tiny 39kg during her heyday – peeled off her designer duds to go topless during a photo shoot in Miami. And we’re told the reformed party girl has put on a healthy 15kg since surviving on a model’s diet of champagne and cocaine. “Kate’s discovered the joy of eating,” shares a close friend. “She once literally ate cotton wool to feel full – and now she doesn’t pass up cake! She’s a new woman.” ‘SHE’S NEVER BEEN HAPPIER AND IT SHOWS’ Mossy, who was dubbed “Cocaine Kate” in 2005…

CHRIS IS BANNED FROM OWNING MONKEYS! When you’re a multi-millionaire rapper, you can pretty much buy whatever you want. Well, everything but illegally purchased animals – right, Chris Brown? Uh-huh, the star landed himself in hot water recently after it was discovered that he’d bought a capuchin monkey without acquiring a permit first. Whoops! Chris got the cute chimp, named Fiji, in 2017 as a Christmas present for his daughter Royalty, now five. But he’s since been ordered to hand the furry friend over and pay $51,300 to the facility where Fiji is now living. An agreement reached in court also prevents 30-year-old Chris from buying any more monkeys until June 2020. Sounds fair! TORI FAKED A PREGNANCY! She’s already mum to five kids, but Tori Spelling fuelled…

Pavlova and prosecco – name a more iconic Christmas duo! But while all your fave treats come out to play for the festive season, it can be way too easy to get carried away.

TIME TO BANK UP THOSE CALORIES Not good with maths? Join the club! But it’s pretty easy to consider your food intake as “money in the bank”.

GWYNETH PALTROW Only use short decorations for tables as they can be a nuisance for chatting guests. “I never use big flower arrangements or tall candles, as they get in the way of good conversation,” Gwyn says. HILARY DUFF “One thing that I’ve learned is to give people jobs so everyone is involved,” Hilary says. “If I’m serving dinner, and making appetisers and stuff, when people are arriving I like to give them little jobs – I think  everybody wants that. No-one wants to sit there and feel useless, it’s actually really helpful and it brings everyone together.” TIFFANI THIESSEN Have a designated kids area! “Lay blankets out on the grass, let them go to town and be as messy and loud as they want in their space,” Tiff advises.…

It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year – and for Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, the sentiment couldn’t be truer. The former spouses, who split in 2005 after a five-year marriage, have been circling back on each other for months, ever since Brad was a last-minute guest at Jen’s 50th birthday in February. And now NW can reveal that Hollywood’s longest-running love story has taken its most romantic turn yet, with Brad presenting Jen with a diamond ring in the lead-up to Christmas.

Mariah Carey has her manicured fingers crossed that rival Kim Kardashian is almost done keeping up with Kanye West – as the diva reckons she and the rapper Belong Together! Recently, Mariah praised Kanye, 42, for the “beautiful” gospel version of her song My All performed at his Sunday Service. And NW can now reveal her gushing kick-started a flirty exchange between the two, which has Mimi hot under the collar. “Mariah’s attracted to Kanye, plain and simple,” dishes our insider. “She loves his cockiness, his confidence and his music. She’s always said she could turn any man’s head and that includes his.” But it turns out Mariah, 49, may have got her claws into Kanye already and Kim, 39, hasn’t got a clue. Indeed, there are whispers that the…

WOMAN OF THE YEAR J.Lo! While she’s always living her best life, 2019 was certainly a stand-out for Jennifer Lopez! The star caused a frenzy when she took to the runway in a recreation of the iconic Versace gown she wore almost two decades ago and also starred in the box office hit Hustlers, for which she’s being tipped for an Oscar nomination. On a more personal note, J.Lo rang in her 50th birthday alongside fiancé Alex Rodriguez – who had popped the question a few months earlier with a stunning 20-carat sparkler. We don’t know how 2020 will top this! KIMMY K AWARD FOR BREAKING THE INTERNET JEN’S FRIENDS REUNION SELFIE! Jennifer Aniston made an epic Instagram debut with this snap of the Friends crew.…

She’s been bolstering, stapling and stitching her body to new extremes, all in her quest to keep her sex symbol status. However, Katie Price has been left feeling anything but, with her latest bout of procedures – including a facelift, eye lift and breast op – having her writhing in agony and unable to get intimate. Eek! “Katie is distraught – the scars are so bad, she can’t look at herself in the mirror,” an insider tells NW. “She’s getting frustrated with how long it has taken her to heal.” The former glamour model’s surgery spree also hasn’t helped her love life, with her ravaged body leaving her unable to keep up with her younger lovers. “She did all this to boost her confidence,” says the insider. “But Katie’s sex…
