While Tom Cruise may be Losin’ It over his ex-wife’s new romance, insiders are wondering whether his resentment actually stems fom the painfully isolated existence the Top Gun star appears to be leading these days. “Tom seems very lonely,” a source dishes of the actor. “He really doesn’t have much of a family life or even any close friends.” Romance has been especially elusive for the 57-year-old, who’s stayed fiercely guarded about his private life since Katie blindsided him with divorce in 2012. “He’s dated here and there. Mostly actresses associated with his movies, but those relationships have been superficial at best,” explains the insider. “Tom just hasn’t been able to find that special someone.” ‘HE STAYS BUSY TO FORGET HOW LONELY HE IS’ It doesn’t help matters that Tom…

Kelly Clarkson has revealed that Since She’s Been Gone from the spotlight to self-isolate with her family in Montana, she’s improvising when it comes to using the toilet. Yep, after the pipes in her cabin froze over thanks to frosty temperatures, the singer was forced to pop a squat over her three-year-old son Remington’s potty! “And just like that I have no pride or shame,” Kelly, 37, tweeted. “Each day brings something I thought I’d never do hahahaha.” Also mum to daughter River, five, Kelly is doing her best to keep looking on the bright side of life during the COVID-19 crisis. “Well, it took a pandemic but I’ve finally started working out again #silverlining,” she…

It’s only been a week since the NW-ettes began working from home, but it already feels like a lifetime. The Brady Bunch-style video conferences are cute and the memes flooding our group chat are funny AF, but we’re all sick of the sight of our houses. Plus, it turns out opening your fridge for the 658th time doesn’t magically make something exciting and edible appear. Who knew?! We’re already fantasising about the epic work drinks we’ll be having once this is all over. In the meantime, there’s consolation in the fact celebs are having a tough time too. There’s poor Tom Cruise still lonely and single as Katie Holmes makes family plans with his former buddy Justin Theroux (see page 6). Then there’s Miley Cyrus melting down as ex-hubby Liam…

Ben Affleck may be smitten with his gorgeous new squeeze, but the actor’s friends have already got their, er, Knives Out for poor Ana de Armas. As previously revealed by NW, the pair – who began dating in November after meeting on the set of their upcoming erotic thriller Deep Water – are house hunting in LA. There’s also growing talk that Ana is up the duff and that Ben may have popped the big Q as a result. Exciting! But despite this, his nearest and dearest are worried the relationship is moving too fast – and that Ana is “trapping” him. “Ben’s acting like a teenager,” says one source. “He needs to slow down, otherwise he’s going to end up with a broken heart. That’s the last thing he…

And rightly so! After the NBA player hooked up with Kar-Jenner cling-on Jordyn Woods a year ago, it’s a rule KoKo’s loved ones have respected. Well, except her big sis Kim, that is! ‘KIM IS ALL OVER TRISTAN’ Yep, Keeks, 39, has struck up a strangely intimate relationship with Tristan in recent months – to the point where Khloe, 35, suspects the two are having an emotional affair. Yikes! “Kim’s suddenly all over Tristan. She ‘ran into him’ in New York late last year and invited him out to dinner with her friends,” says a…

1 JUST EAT REAL FOOD Liz isn’t big on supplements and her mantra is that fresh is best. “I have my own organic farm, so eat only my own meat and vegetables,” the ageless stunner explains. “I buy everything else from a local farmers’ market and health-food shops. I eat very little processed food.” 2 GET IN THE CHILL ZONE Recently Liz checked into the VIVAMAYR spa in Austria in search of a little R&R. “They taught me to relax,” the Austin Powers glamazon says. “I learned to sit still, put my phone down and enjoy my food.” While it may be a small change, it made a big difference: “My digestion has improved since I followed that advice.” 3 DITCH THE TOXINS “You also have to look after your…

Yep, the actress and Justin Theroux have been dating on the down-low for the last few months, having first connected over their mutual love of New York City. The pair live just blocks away from each other in the Big Apple, but in recent weeks Justin’s been spending more and more time at Katie’s apartment. So they decided to throw caution to the wind, and have Justin and his fur baby Kuma move in permanently with Katie, 41, and her daughter Suri, 13. “Suri’s become obsessed with Justin and they’re very much playing happy families,” our exclusive insider tells. “He’s even helping to home school…

Ever since Miley Cyrus announced her divorce from Liam Hemsworth, the singer has been feeling smug. She moved on first – twice, thanks to an affair with Kaitlynn Carter and now current beau Cody Simpson. She also made Liam let her keep their animals and scored their marital home. So never in a million years did she think the Aussie actor would one-up her. But he has – and she’s started spinning out! Whispers are growing that Liam, 30, is expecting a baby with new girlfriend Gabriella Brooks. The model, 23, was caught patting a small baby bump during a surfing session Down Under last week. OMG! “Miley lost it over those pics,” says a source. “She thought she was owning this break-up and truly believed this new chick was…

Michelle Williams A SILENT BIRTH Newlywed Michelle is taking inspo from her Dawson’s Creek co-star Katie Holmes when it comes to delivering her second baby. The 39-year-old actress is apparently planning a silent birth – but not because she’s a Scientologist like Katie was when she delivered Suri. “Michelle is fascinated by the idea of bringing a child into the world in a serene environment,” tells an insider. “She’s going to try her best to keep a lid on the screaming. It’s her second time around so she knows what to expect.” America Ferrera ADDICTED TO SUGAR The Ugly Betty star, 35, has developed a very sweet tooth since falling pregnant with bub number two and has been spending like crazy on Uber Eats, getting deliveries from bakeries and ice…

1988 It’s a tale as old as time – blue and green should never be seen! We can’t imagine what on Earth possessed the Beauty to don this Beastly dress. 1992 Diamonds will always be this girl’s best friend. Long before she became queen of kooky couture, Celine kept things classic in a blinged-up LBD. 1999 Celine was initally All By Herself in loving the backwards tuxedo she wore to the Oscars, but the Christian Dior outfit has since become one of the most iconic looks of all time. Respect! 2002 Everything about this ensemble screams early noughties fashion – from the low-slung skirt to the ginormous shades! 2003 Celine’s heart goes on and on... and on for all things yellow. Her Roberto Cavalli gown is daring, but we hate…

At work, you could miss out on a very important (and deserved) new role simply because you’re unwilling to play the kind of games that shrewder colleagues might play. Gemini MAY 22 – JUNE 21  Passionate feelings between you and a partner or suitor could make for a rather tempestuous time in forthcoming days. Your love planet Jupiter reckons possessiveness could spoil a…
