Taylor Swift is travelling the globe to promote her single ME! – while also planning her and Joe Alwyn’s wedding! ‘They’re blissfully in love and it’s assumed they’ve been unofficially engaged for some time,’ gushed a spy. ‘A lot of people have actually been wondering what’s taken them so long.’ According to the source, the ceremony will take place around July 4, when Tay 29, usually throws a bash at her Rhode Island estate. ‘Some are convinced she’s using the annual party as a cover for a secret wedding, and guests will be informed just before it happens,’ says the insider, adding that a ceremony at Taylor’s summer home ‘makes a lot more sense’ than a lavish European bash. It’ll be an intimate affair involving their families and a handful…

The Kardashians often bare their souls on their reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians – but Kanye West seized the confessional spotlight recently. The dad-of-four appeared on David Letterman’s Netflix show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction and shared his struggle with bipolar disorder. ‘I ramp up and I go high,’ confessed Yeezy, 41. ‘If you don’t take medication every day to keep you at a certain state, you have the potential to ramp up, and it can even take you to a point where you can even end up in the hospital. And you start acting “erratic”, as TMZ would put it.’ Kanye also bravely described being manic as having ‘this moment [where] you feel everyone wants to kill you… Everyone is an actor. You feel the government…

Jennifer Aniston couldn’t contain her excitement. On May 21, the actress was spied enjoying dinner with close pals Melissa McCarthy and Kathryn Hahn at LA’s Sunset Tower. ‘Jen was grinning ear to ear the entire night,’ says a witness. The reason for Jen’s smiles? ‘She and Brad have reconnected,’ dishes a source. ‘They’re dating again.’ It looks like things are getting serious fast, too! Friends even suggest a proposal could be on the cards. ‘Jen would be completely shocked, but of course she’d say yes,’ says an insider, adding that the pair would aim to keep their relationship totally private and only share developments, as they occur, with family and a few close friends. ‘Jen and Brad have been through so much together. And even though their marriage didn’t work…

She recently split from her Aussie NBL star boyfriend Ben Simmons. But instead of diving head first into a tub of ice-cream, Kendall Jenner is out there living her best life. The 23-year-old looked stunning on the red carpet at the recent Cannes International Film Festival, donning a pink tiered high-low gown that showed off her toned frame. So how does she do it? ‘I prefer to work out in the morning. To stay toned, I do a lot of ab work with my trainer Gunnar Peterson, and occasionally I’ll take a kickboxing class,’ she explains. Kendall adds that she likes to focus on her abdominal region and work on improving her core strength. Her circuit-style workout is made up of 13 moves and features various types of planking exercises…

Jennifer Lopez and her fiancé Alex Rodriguez know how to push each other’s buttons. ‘They’ll encourage each other to do more reps or have better form,’ says the couple’s trainer Dodd Romero. A joint workout might include a cardio warm-up with lunges and sumo-style squats. ‘They’re both so athletic,’ Dodd tells. JLo – who turns the big 5-0 on July 24 – is looking abs-olutely ripped right now, thanks to her abdominal routine. ‘She swears by side plank oblique crunches,’ says Jen’s trainer. ‘They’re perfect for when you need to focus on shaping and toning, not only the obliques but the entire core. Jen does planks, side planks and a medicine ball toss while holding a lunge,’ he adds. Spiderman push-ups sculpt Jen’s enviable torso, too. Want to get your…

When A-list movie stars sign up to do a TV series, you know it’s going to be a quality production. But for Reese Witherspoon, 43, and Nicole Kidman, 51, it took stumbling upon a refreshingly female-driven narrative for them to produce their own series together for the first time. In 2014, the actresses fought for the screen rights to Big Little Lies, a bestselling novel by Aussie author Liane Moriarty. ‘We read it at the same time and we both wanted it. So instead of going against each other, we got on the phone and decided to partner and do it together,’ Reese explains. It was the start of a truly formidable partnership. Neither could have predicted just how big the show would become. Although the viewing numbers of the…

Future Lara Crofts! Angelina Jolie, 44, treated a group of kids to an interactive escape room experience in LA on May 27 to celebrate her daughter Shiloh’s 13th birthday. ‘The escape room was something Shi’s been wanting to do for years, but you had to be 13 to participate,’ tells a source. ‘The one they did was pretty dark and twisted. It’s about a cannibalistic serial killer who grows tired of hunting down animals and turns to humans. Definitely not every teenager’s idea of a good time.’ Then again, not everyone’s mum wore a vial of her husband’s blood around their neck either. ‘Ange also arranged for custom cakes and a magician,’ adds the source.…

They’re slated to be king and queen in the not-so-distant future. But at Thomas’ Battersea school, Kate Middleton and Prince William are best known simply as George’s mum and dad. A regular presence, William, 36, and Kate, 37, have become an active part of the school’s community – involvement that will only increase once Charlotte, four, joins her five-year-old brother there in a few months. It’s all part of the thoroughly modern royals’ determination to lead as normal a life as possible. William’s late mother Princess Diana ‘made it her mission to give her kids everyday experiences’, a source explains, ‘and William and Kate are huge believers in carrying on that tradition’. Whether it’s feeding the ducks in Hyde Park or a day at the fair near Anmer Hall, their…

While there’s nothing better than belting out a Céline Dion number in the shower, there is so much more to the love ballad diva than her hits. Céline, 51, has completely transformed herself over the years from one of the world’s most successful performers to couture darling – and she wasn’t afraid to experiment. Here, we take a look at what makes Canada’s greatest export unique… FOUND ONE GREAT LOVE The French-Canadian songstress met her manager and future husband René Angélil at the tender age of 12, after her brother sent him a demo tape of her singing. Céline and René started dating when she was 19 and he was 46 – despite a 26-year age gap. But they didn’t publicly reveal their relationship for another five years, by which…

Emma Roberts has traded in ex-fiancé Evan Peters for actor Garrett Hedlund – and, according to her inner circle, she’s never been happier! ‘After all the drama, apologies and reconciliation, Emma has washed Evan out of her system,’ an insider tells. ‘She’s having fun and enjoying herself, something she wasn’t able to do with Evan for the longest time.’ Emma and Evan’s rocky relationship was destined for disaster after the actress, 28, was arrested for domestic violence in 2013 following a heated dispute. But now, her pals credit the Friday Night Lights actor, 34, for rewriting Emma’s American Horror Story. ‘Emma and Garrett’s chemistry is through the roof,’ the friend reveals, adding that while they’re ‘taking things slow’, Emma’s ‘revelling in it’.…

Scaling the tallest mountain in the world? That so isn’t us… but it was definitely on Mandy Moore’s bucket list! It took the This Is Us star 10 days to reach Mount Everest South Base Camp – which rests a whopping 5364 metres above sea level. ‘There is so much magic in these mountains,’ the 35-year-old gushed on Instagram on May 27, posting spectacular images of her accomplishment. ‘They represent adventure in the grandest form and in a language all their own.’ While her Nepalese trek was challenging, Mandy loves ‘the moments you push yourself out of [your] comfort zone, [which] are so fulfilling and nourishing’. The dedicated hiker and her husband Taylor Goldsmith, 33, had previously conquered Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Of the Himalayas, Mandy added, ‘It’s impossible to…

ASHLEY GRAHAM Even supermodels have to fight for body confidence. ‘I wish it were as easy as saying, “Here’s a magic pill,” and then [self doubt] would all go away,’ says Ashley, 31. ‘You have to make a choice to change your own mind, and if you’re not willing to do the work and put the effort into changing your mind, then nothing will change… It’s all up to you.’ To help people on the road to feeling fierce, the Swimsuits For All designer recently launched the size-inclusive Every. Body. Counts campaign for women and men. KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN Kourt looks amazing at 40, thanks to intermittent fasting. ‘I don’t eat for 14-16 hours after dinner,’ she says.

Kayla Itsines ‘Winter sports can be really fun. You get to do stuff you wouldn’t normally be able to do in the summertime heat. If you live somewhere where it snows, try snowboarding, skiing or any other form of snow sport.’ Margot Robbie ‘I play [ice hockey]… but I’m definitely the worst on the team. I’m not so good at the ice-skating part. The hockey is good, but the ice-skating I need to work on.’ Kate Hudson ‘If I haven’t done anything for a while I usually start getting motivated by doing literally just 10 minutes of something, whether it’s jumping up and down, dancing, taking a walk or kicking a football with my kids.’ Hailee Steinfeld ‘When it comes to working out, it’s the last thing you want to…

Colour boost A faded, dull colour is often a side effect of winter-battered strands. Keeping hair hydrated and protected is your best bet, along with limiting your washes to a couple of times a week – water is the biggest colour stripper. Keep it vibrant and shiny with a hair gloss – it’ll boost shine and brighten, so you can extend the time between salon appointments. Pretty parched We all know hair gets super-dry in cold weather. The wind strips it of oil and moisture, leaving locks dehydrated and brittle, which can cause damage and split ends. Stick to your routine of conditioner and a hydrating mask every week, but think about swapping your regular everyday products for more nourishing versions. Instead of dry shampoo, which will soak up any…

A Glasgow girl with a Nashville heart? That’s the focus of this new feel-good British film about a firebrand ex-con who dreams of immersing herself in the American country music industry. Star Jessie Buckley, 29, who plays the talented young Rose-Lynn, fills us in… What attracted you to Rose-Lynn? She’s certainly an underdog… She’s young, she’s flawed, she’s struggling. When you have a child, you belong to it. I think what’s great is that she finds a way of having [her goals and her situation] marry with each other. Life doesn’t get handed to you on a gold plate. We can all relate to that struggle in ourselves. What was your initial reaction to the script? It dislocated me in every single way. [Writer Nicole Taylor] is such a fearless…
