Khloé’s sister Kylie Jenner is facing her own heartache amid claims that she’s accused her baby daddy Travis Scott of cheating on her. It’s believed the 21-year-old make-up mogul confronted Travis, 26, after she ‘checked his phone and saw something that she didn’t like’. While Travis, who is dad to Kylie’s 12-month-old daughter Stormi, insists that he’s innocent, the timing couldn’t be worse. It’s believed that Kylie is facing strong family pressure to ‘cut ties’ with her best friend Jordyn, following the Tristan cheating scandal. ‘Kylie has had a rough week,’ a source confirms. But while she was upset with Travis ‘at first’, the insider states, ‘She isn’t breaking up with him.’ The rapper may have been trying to smooth things over when he gave Kylie a shout-out at his…

As the daughter of OG supermodel Cindy Crawford, Kaia Gerber was destined for a life on the runway. And while she’s currently being heralded as the modelling world’s It girl, Kaia’s shrinking frame has left fans very worried. From New York to Paris, the 17-year-old has been a star attraction at all the major shows in recent weeks, walking for the likes of Versace, Fendi and Prada – but it’s not the fashion that had eyes fixated. Following Kaia’s turn down the catwalk for Saint Laurent at Paris Fashion Week on February 26 (pictured), social media users were quick to point out the model’s ‘malnourished’ frame, ‘knobbly’ knees and sunken cheeks. ‘She hasn’t always looked like this. She was a picture of health and her mum’s twin a year ago,’…

To the rest of the world, she’s a serious A-list movie star and big-time producer. But to her three kids, Reese Witherspoon is just another dorky mother. While enjoying Harlem Globetrotters’ show at LA’s Staples Center with her six-year-old son Tennessee on February 17, Reese, 42, and her husband Jim Toth, 49, were brought out onto the court to slow dance to the tune of My Girl – in front of the entire crowd! But not everyone went gaga over the sweet moment. After seeing the footage, her 15-year-old son Deacon responded just like any other teen would. ‘That looks so embarrassing,’ he said in a text to his famous mum, according to Reese’s Instagram story. ‘I’m glad they didn’t have you shoot the ball. That…

Russian actress and model Irina Shayk has barely been seen in public with Bradley since the Oscars – except for that very strained car journey together the day after the show. Instead, the mum-of-one has devoted her time to daughter Lea and hanging out with supportive gal pals including fellow model Stella Maxwell. ‘She told Bradley she wants Gaga out of their lives now that A Star Is Born is over,’ our source says. ‘But it’s not that simple for him.’ Irina and Bradley began dating in April 2015. ‘Irina felt she should be the most important woman in Bradley’s life,’ a friend says. ‘But now, she’s over the drama.’…

Ask Selma Blair how she’s faring after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis last August, and the courageous actress responds with an other-worldly kind of strength. ‘I’m doing very well,’ she declared on Good Morning America on February 26. In the wake of her first interview since announcing her condition on Instagram last October, Selma has received an outpouring of support – but as far as she’s concerned, spreading awareness of the chronic disease is up to her. ‘If I can help anyone or help anyone be more sympathetic to someone that might seem like me or a lot worse, then that’s the least I can do right now,’ she says. For years, the single mum suffered worrying symptoms, but doctors just shrugged off her crippling fatigue…

“MY MUM PUT ME INTO MARTIAL ARTS AND DRAMA CLASSES. IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO CHANNEL MY ENERGY” After nabbing his start in the industry as a complete newbie in edgy British teen drama Skins, actor Dev Patel has barely stopped working since. ‘My mum dragged me to an audition for Skins when I was still at school,’ says Dev, 28. ‘I was just this awkward teenager and when I got there, there were all these drama students doing their vocal warm-ups. I was like, “Oh man!” But I got it, so it was a success.’ Since then, Dev’s gone on to star in blockbusters like Slumdog Millionaire, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Lion. He’s also been nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. ‘It’s been…

When Sam and Snezana Wood tied the knot in a beautiful Byron Bay ceremony late last year, it was the culmination of many months of careful preparation. And like many brides, Snez – who is currently five months pregnant and mum to 16-month-old Willow and Eve, 13 – had also been putting in the hard yards to get her hottest body ever. Luckily Snez, 37, had the perfect trainer – her hunky groom Sam, who is now sharing his tips and tricks with OK!. First and foremost, Sam says it’s important to only do what works for you. ‘An upcoming wedding doesn’t mean you have to lose weight,’ Sam, 38, says. ‘If you’re happy and healthy, that is all that matters. However, if your big day is the motivation you…

HOW MUCH SHOULD I SPEND ON THE GIFT? ‘You should only spend an amount of money on a gift that you can afford,’ explains Australian School of Etiquette director Zarife Hardy. ‘Don’t go into debt to buy the perfect gift. However, you also don’t want to be cheap. Pending where the wedding is and if you had to spend money to get there, you should spend between $80-$120 per person. If it is a destination wedding, then you shouldn’t be expected to bring a gift.’ WHAT ABOUT WISHING WELLS? Whether you’re the one walking down the aisle or you happen to be one of the guests, it’s important to remember that it really is the thought that counts. ‘Not every guest likes a wishing well,’ Zarife says. ‘It’s completely up…

SHE DID! TARAJI P HENSON VS JENNIFER LOPEZ JLo, we love you, but Taraji’s understated approach is the perfect fit for this bold Versace print. Plus those sassy pumps match her outfit perfectly. SHE DID! RENÉE GOLDSBERRY VS THANDIE NEWTON The crop top isn’t going anywhere yet! Carolina Herrera’s polka-dot frock is a winner either way, but we love Renée’s fresh and flirty take. SHE DID! HAILEY BALDWIN VS TALLIA STORM This sexy silver PrettyLittleThing pant suit hails from Hailey’s own collection – so we’re not at all surprised that she effortlessly nailed the look. SHE DID!

As far as on-off relationships go, Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have theirs down to a fine art. Since they first got together in 2015, the singer and supermodel have pulled the plug several times. So when Zayn, 26, posted a personal tweet to Gigi on March 3 that read ‘love you’, it sent fans into a meltdown. The message was deleted soon after, before Gigi, 23, could even respond. It was out of character for the notoriously private bad boy, which left some questioning its legitimacy. ‘R u hacked??’ tweeted one user. The pair split back in January, so this latest profession of love also left others frothing. ‘Oh my God, Zayn barely tweets but he DID THAT AND TWEETED “LOVE U” TO GIGI,’ tweeted another. Watch this space!…

In an interview with Porter magazine this month, Cindy acknowledges ‘Kaia had some advantages’ being her daughter, but she didn’t buy her modelling career. Still, her little girl does have some big shoes to fill. ‘I couldn’t really hold her back,’ Cindy, 53, tells. ‘You hope that all of the advice and guidance and role modelling that you did sticks.’ Kaia’s recent runway appearances, however, have some wondering if the pressure of being the supermodel’s daughter is all too much. How about a burger date instead, guys?…

GOOD ON PAPER Leave it to Kylie Jenner to slay platinum pixie. Aside from posing up a storm, the hair chameleon addressed plastic surgery rumours in Paper magazine’s new issue. ‘People think I fully went under the knife… which is completely false. They don’t understand what good hair and make-up and, like, fillers, can really do.’ GOLDEN GIRL Not even the thousands of Mardi Gras goers could outshine the pop superstar at the parade on March 2. Dressed in head-to-toe gold, gay icon Kylie Minogue partied through the streets of Sydney ahead of her Golden Tour.

Based on the terrifying real-life events of 2008, Hotel Mumbai stars Dev as a hotel staffer who goes to heroic lengths to keep his guests alive when the establishment comes under siege from gunmen. It’s one of many critically acclaimed roles that Dev has played during his career. But don’t expect any spoilt A-list antics from this star anytime soon. ‘People ask how hard it is to stay grounded. It’s f---ing easy,’ he says. ‘Because you just do normal shit like everyone else. My friend circle is very small, and that’s a conscious choice.’…

PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20 Look, this is not the easiest time to be a Pisces. Mercury, planet of intellect and communication, is moving backwards through your sign until March 28, leaving you feeling out of sorts. On Wednesday, it might seem like everything is against you, thanks to a clash between the confident sun and Jupiter, planet of optimism. But don’t buy into negative vibes. ARIES MAR 21 - APR 19 Remember on Friends when Monica got a cold but refused to rest? You’ll be totally feeling that (the resistance, that is, not the illness). Mercury, planet of intellect, is retrograde in your astro zone of closure and spirituality, leaving you stuck in second gear. Instead of sulking, embrace this time on the bench so that when you’re…

She was left heartbroken by her cheating ex Tristan Thompson, but in the wake of their split Khloé Kardashian is staying strong for their 10-month-old baby girl True. ‘After her latest heartbreak, she will be focusing on herself and being the best mum in the world to True,’ confirms a pal, who says the reality star has ‘vowed off men for the foreseeable future’. It comes after Khloé was forced to backtrack on Twitter, after fans slammed her for blaming Jordyn Woods, 21, for the break-up of her family. While Khloé admits she feels betrayed that Jordyn kissed Tristan, 27, at a house party, she says that she spoke out of turn. ‘I’m a roller-coaster of emotions & have said things I shouldn’t have,’ Khloé confessed. ‘Jordyn is not to…

As if their 2017 divorce wasn’t contentious enough, Johnny Depp has just sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for $70.5 million for allegedly defaming him in an opinion piece she penned for The Washington Post last December. Though Amber didn’t name her ex, 55, the lawsuit filed on March 2 alleges, ‘The op-ed depended on the central premise that Ms Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Mr Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her.’ In fact, Johnny’s lawyers have turned the tables, claiming, ‘Ms Heard is not a victim of domestic abuse, she’s a perpetrator.’ To complicate matters, they also allege Amber, 32, was involved with Elon Musk while still married to Johnny.…

Nothing screams holiday like an ice-cold beer by the beach – and we can’t think of anyone more deserving of this idyllic getaway than Pink! Far away from home in Tulum, Mexico, the singer, 39, was recently spotted enjoying some romantic time with hubby Carey Hart, 43, whom she’s been with for 17 years.

Lady Gaga is completely comfortable with using the ‘L’ word to describe her close bond with Bradley Cooper. ‘We found love through music,’ she’s said. Now it looks like the A Star Is Born co-stars – whose incredible chemistry lit up the screen and stage at the Academy Awards on February 24 – are getting set to take their relationship to the next level! ‘She’s selling her Malibu ranch to be closer to Bradley,’ an insider exclusively tells OK!. ‘She wants to be closer to him, so they can see each other more easily – in private.’ Bradley currently owns a $7 million mansion in LA’s Pacific Palisades district.

MODERN AND STYLISH Wedding manicures are all about nudes. Not to be confused with bare nails, look to shades of brown-based hues. From lattes through to bronzes, mocha and more, choose colours that are opaque rather than sheer this season. ‘Always finish with a top coat to seal the look and gloss up your mani,’ adds Sally Hansen nail expert Alison Bowhill-Hayes. ‘And apply it throughout the life of the manicure (every two to three days) to keep it looking fresh,’ she says. NAIL YOUR SHADE Cool or warm undertones in your skin are what you should focus on to find the colour for you. Alison suggests looking at the veins in your wrist to figure this out. ‘If the veins look green, you’re a warm skin tone and if…
