t truly was a night to remember. On Dec. 14, Jennifer Aniston hosted her annual tree-trimming party at her home in Bel Air. “As usual, Jen invited a group of close friends, including Reese Witherspoon, Lisa Kudrow, Kate Hudson, Tom Hanks and Gwyneth Paltrow. But this year she decided to extend an invite to her ex-husband Brad tt,” a source tells OK! Brad — who was also a uest at Jen’s 50th b hd l
actor, 56, and the Friends alum were overheard talking about art, movies and life. “They also told each other jokes and reminisced about the past. Even after all these years, they can still have each other in stitches!” In fact, Brad was enjoying himself at the bash so much, he was one of the last guests to leave. “The next day he called Jen to thank her for such an amazing night and asked if she’d like to spend New Year’s Eve with him,” says the source, adding that Jen happily accepted and dh h d

NEW YEAR, NEW ME!
K
atie Holmes is heading into 2020 with a formidable new resolve: to finally put herself first. The star weathered an emotionally turbulent year: In August, her six-year romance with Jamie Foxx fizzled out amid rumors that he was getting cozy with his 21-year-old protégé, Sela Vave. “Katie was embarrassed,” says a source. “It made it seem as if Jamie never took her or their relationship seriously.” But Katie’s days of being humiliated by her ex are well and truly over. “She was upset when she first heard about Jamie and Sela, but she’s changed a lot since the breakup,” shares the source. “She’s finally regaining her self-esteem.” So much so that on Dec. 11, when Jamie was spotted celebrating his 52nd birthday at an L.A. club alongside Sela — who flashed a conspicuous diamond on her ring finger — Katie, 41, “just rolled her

eyes,” says the source. “She thinks Jamie looks ridiculous hanging around with a woman young enough to be his daughter.” And while Katie’s steadily rebuilt her confidence by hitting the New York social scene and meeting a host of eligible bachelors, the source insists she “feels secure and doesn’t need a man to complete her. She realized that dating Jamie made her feel weak. He had a lot of secrets, and she was always waiting for his call. She’s glad to have moved on.” Katie’s also grateful for the support of her 13-year-old mini-me, Suri (her daughter with ex Tom Cruise). “Suri’s old enough to recognize that Jamie’s behavior was hurtful, and she told her mom she could do better,” says the source. “With Suri’s support, Katie’s feeling energized — and extra motivated to be the best version of herself in the new year.”
SO OVER IT These days, when it comes to Jamie and his rumored paramour, Sela, Katie’s officially unbothered. “She’s done stressing over Jamie,” says a source. “It’s not worth her energy.”
GWYN’S GALPALS:
TONE IT DOWN! While fans of Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, Goop, may revel in her TMI confessions or provocative suggestions, her close friends are covering their ears. “Listening to her waffle on about her weird diets and sex life is tiresome,” explains an insider. “She loves to go into detail about her latest Goop sex gadgets, not to mention her preferences. She’ll be having a conversation with someone and suddenly start talking about how flexible she is or the wonderful time she had in the bedroom.” Despite her pals’ visible dismay, the actress has continued to dish out her cringey tips, which has only made them “wonder if she’s going through a midlife crisis or simply flipped her lid,” explains the insider. “There’s nothing wrong with loving your body, sex or the stuff she’s selling, but she’s so in your face about it that it borders on just being vulgar.” Know when to zip it, Gwyn! “Frankly, her friends are fed up with hearing such intimate details about her body and love life,” declares an insider.

DRIFTING APART
F
or Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence, it seems that growing up is coinciding with growing apart. Though the Oscar winners were once the best of friends, an insider claims that nowadays, the duo are barely in contact. “Emma and Jen’s lives both revolve around their significant others, and that hasn’t left a lot of room for girl talk,” says the insider. “They used to speak on the phone every day and meet up for lunch once a week, but things haven’t been the same in a while.” According to the insider, the pair — who met through costar Woody Harrelson — will occasionally go on

double dates, but the outings are “awkward at best,” as Jen’s husband, Cooke Maroney, an art dealer, has “nothing in common” with Emma’s new fiancé, Saturday Night Live writer and segment director Dave McCary. “There’s no hatred or bad feelings between the ladies, but Jen is in full-blown newlywed mode and is focusing on her new circle of artsy friends,” says the insider, pointing out that the Hunger Games star was noticeably absent when Emma hung out with their mutual pal Amy Schumer in New York City on Dec. 6. “At this point, they’re not even missing each other.” What happened to putting

Is Ryan Gosling already past his prime? Despite starring in huge flicks like La La Land and The Notebook, the actor didn’t film a single movie in 2019, and a source tells OK! that at the moment, he has nothing slated for 2020! “Ryan’s struggling. He’s gone from being a sought-after A-lister to old news,” says the source. “It’s frustrating to him that none of his filmmaker friends have come to his rescue with another great part for him to take on.” While the actor himself is partly to blame — “He’s so picky about his roles,” says the source — unemployment does have an upside, as Ryan’s now able to spend more time with his and Eva Mendes’ two daughters. “Lately he’s been a stay-at–home dad, and while he loves playing with his kids, the whole situation has really hurt his ego,” explains the source. “The general consensus is that if he wants to be on top again, he’s going to have to adjust his standards.”

LINDSAY BEGS MERYL:

CONNIE
ADOPTING AGAIN?
While Connie Britton’s been happily raising 8-year-old son Yoby on her own since adopting him from Ethiopia in 2011, an insider claims the little boy is now begging for a sibling! “Connie has loads of friends with multiple children, and they come over to her house and hang out with Yoby,” explains the insider. “Yoby tells his mom he sees those brothers and sisters playing together, and that he too wants to have someone around all the time.” Since the single actress would be outnumbered, she’s had some hesitations about bringing another kid into her hectic life. (She starred in four projects in 2019 alone!) But the insider notes that the Nashville alum has always been a pushover when it comes to her son. “Connie’s healthy and financially secure, so she believes it’s not too late to give Yoby the little sibling he’s clamoring for,” says the insider. “She plans to start looking into adopting again early next year.”
SELENA’S
Man Hunt
When it comes to finding the perfect partner, Selena Gomez says she’s looking for her suitors to make an impression. “I feel like in the first five seconds I can tell if I’m meeting someone that just wants one thing, and then I can tell when it’s a good group of guys and they’re cool,” the star explained of trying to meet new people despite her fame. “I hope that whoever’s doing that is actually interested in me and not really my name.” For starters, the “Look at Her Now” singer says she wants to be “approached in a natural, organic way,” adding that as she’s getting to know someone, she feels most “comfortable” on group outings. This fall, she declared she’s been “super, super single for two years,” but now that her health is back on track — due to complications with lupus, the star underwent a kidney transplant and also entered rehab for depression and anxiety — she’s eager to find someone who checks off all of her boxes. “I love funny. I don’t like arrogant,” the songstress stated when describing her ideal man. “I don’t like showoffy. I love playful, adventurous but really down-to-earth and cool.” Hollywood’s gotta have a few of those!

ot your average starter home! In March 2019, six months after Justin and Hailey Bieber tied the knot at a New York City courthouse, the newlyweds scooped up this five-bedroom, seven-bath cul-de-sac abode in Beverly Hills for $8.5 million. But it seems the young couple’s already getting restless. This October, the “Sorry” singer, 25, abruptly declared he wanted to sell the 6,132-square-foot home he shares with his 23-year-old wife — along with “all the 24 JANUARY 6, 2020 OK!
furniture” — and posted a multitude of interior photos on Instagram. According to reports, the social media spree worked, as Justin’s said to have been contacted by several potential buyers, including a well-known billionaire. No matter who occupies the 1932 Monterey Colonial-style house, they’re sure to be impressed: The pad, nicknamed “The Tropics,” is fully equipped with a wood-paneled library, a wine cellar featuring Martinique print wallpaper (inspired by the Beverly Hills Hotel), a
wet bar and a recreational room that boasts vintage arcade games. While there are plenty of quirky amenities to keep the lovebirds occupied, Hailey’s revealed that their “favorite kind of date night” is simply ordering dinner in and watching movies — though they certainly do it in style! If they’re not in the home theater, they’re hanging in the kitchen, which features a massive marble-topped center island and breakfast bar, or in the sunken family room, cuddling with their Maltese terrier and $35,000 exotic cats.
The two-car garage may not be big enough for all the hot wheels Biebs has amassed, including a Mercedes and two Lamborghinis.
Twice as nice! Hailey showed off their kitties, Sushi and Tuna, in the master suite, which has vaulted ceilings, a fireplace and window seats. It’s becoming clear who did most of the decorating: One of the walls displays the singer’s collection of skateboard decks.

FUTURE PLANS “If Bryan’s able to get his arrest records expunged, he and Sandra could even adopt a child of their own in 2020,” says an insider, noting that adding to their family is something “they’ve discussed.”
SANDRA & BRYAN’S
ADOPTION BATTLE
B
ryan Randall has been a doting father figure to Sandra Bullock’s two kids, Louis, 9, and Laila, 7, ever since he started dating the Oscar winner four years ago; and he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to make things official. An insider tells OK! the 53-year-old photographer, who met Sandra in 2015 after she hired him to snap shots of Louis, is itching to legally adopt both kids, and Sandra, 55, is on board: “Bryan adores Sandra’s children, and treats them very much as his own,” says the insider. “Plus, she’s a traditionalist at heart, so if they can officially call themselves 26 JANUARY 6, 2020 OK!
one big happy family, it will mean so much to everyone.” But while adoption can be an involved process for anyone, Bryan has an extra hurdle — in the form of a criminal record. According to reports, the long-sober Portland native had nearly a dozen arrests dating back to 1988 for offenses ranging from drug use to driving under the influence, as well as a 2012 restraining order from a former neighbor. In October, the reformed bad boy filed an application with an Oregon district court to “set aside” his arrest record, which the insider says is “for the sake of qualifying as an adoptive dad.” But in order to get his
arrest records expunged, he has to provide an affidavit for each one, and prove he’s had no ongoing criminal case or conviction in the last 10 years. (The more recent restraining order may be mercifully overlooked, as it was never made permanent.) “Bryan’s come such a long way since those dark days,” says the insider, “and there’s no doubt he’s a changed man in every regard. He wants his new life to reflect that, so he can leave his criminal past behind and focus on his incredible family.” And no matter what happens, “he’s a hero in their eyes,” continues the insider. Sandra and the kids are by his side every step of the way.”

DRUNK-DIALING TRISTAN
K
hloé Kardashian may want to block Tristan Thompson’s number — at least after 8 p.m. Though the reality star, 35, tends to express her feelings toward her ex, 28, through cryptic Instagram quotes, a pal tells OK! all it takes is a little liquid courage for her to actually spill the beans. “When Khloé drinks, more often than not she ends up calling Tristan to rant about how badly he messed up, but also how much she misses him,” says the friend, noting that his flirty social media comments leave her confused. “She wants answers and apologies from Tristan, but if he’s out, he usually just lets her calls go to voice mail.” Ouch.
The couple made a rare red carpet appearance at the season 3 premiere of Stranger Things.

MADONNA’S
NEW BOYTOY
Madonna’s clearly got a type! Though her romance with her backup dancer Ahlamalik Williams, 25, is just starting to make headlines, a source tells OK! the two have actually been dating for quite some time. “She’s been keeping things under the radar, and they weren’t so hot and heavy until recently,” says the source, explaining that the singer, 61, wanted to take her time to see if this was just a fun fling or could be something long-term. And it turns out that, despite the age gap, their relationship is the real deal. “He travels everywhere with her, and she says he’s never gotten jealous or over-inquisitive,” the source shares. “He’s a very sweet guy who’s constantly going out of his way to spoil her, even running her errands!” The queen of pop appreciates all the effort — and in return, the source says, she’s happily helping him with his career. “Ahlamalik has ambitions to get into modeling, and she’s opening a lot of doors for him,” the source notes. “It’s a win-win for everyone right now.”
LOVE BITES IT’S OVER! After 20 years of marriage, Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa and Joe Giudice have separated.
LIAM In October, Liam Hemsworth was seen packing on the PDA with actress Maddison Brown — but an insider says he’s since moved on to model Gabriella Brooks. “Liam liked Maddison, but felt incredible chemistry with Gabby, so he decided to date her exclusively,” the insider shares. “He gently broke it off with Maddison — it wasn’t a nasty split by any means.” According to the insider, the two Aussies “clicked right away” after meeting through mutual friends, “and it’s moving very quickly already.” In fact, on Dec. 13, the actor, 29, was spotted introducing Gabriella, 21, to his parents, who “think she’s a very sweet girl,” spills the insider. “After everything he went through with Miley [Cyrus], they just want to see Liam with a kind, down-to-earth type, and Gabby seems just that. If Liam’s happy, they’re happy.” Mission accomplished! 28 JANUARY 6, 2020 OK!
OFF THE MARKET! Michael B. Jordan seemed to confirm rumors he’s dating musician Snoh Aalegra by starring in the romantic music video for her track “Whoa.”
“Liam loves Gabriella’s sense of humor and laid-back outlook on life, while she finds him soulful and sexy in every possible way,” says an insider.
BACK TOGETHER? Though Kendall Jenner and NBA star Ben Simmons broke up in May, the model was seen at the athlete’s Dec. 13 game, sparking rumors that they’re rekindling their romance.
The insider says Miranda’s worried what could happen if Brendan’s “left to his own devices in New York.”
BRENDAN TO MIRANDA:
I NEED TIME OFF!
Tour life isn’t for everyone: While Miranda Lambert’s hubby, Brendan McLoughlin, joined her on the road to work on her security team, he’s found himself twiddling his thumbs more often than he anticipated. “He’s bored,” says an insider. “He misses his old job, his son, his buddies, basically the life he left behind in New York City.” But when the former NYPD officer, 29, brought up the idea of returning
to the Big Apple while Miranda, 36, continues her tour, he was shot down. “Miranda doesn’t fully trust him yet, and since she calls the shots, he has no choice but to tag along,” says the insider. “It’s not a bad gig when Miranda’s performing in some exotic locale like Hawaii, but he isn’t exactly excited about some of the smaller cities she’s playing next year.” Cry us a river, Brendan.

Born with natural talent, she started singing in local bars at age 8 to help her parents pay the bills; by the time she graduated high school in 1983, she was touring Ontario with a cover band called Flirt. “Shania knew she wanted to be a singer and songwriter,” says the insider, “and was determined to make that happen.” But in November 1987, Shania’s plans came to a screeching halt when her mom and stepdad were killed in a car accident. “Without hesitation, she made the choice to move back home and take care of her three younger siblings,” says the insider, adding that no one was surprised by her decision. “Despite everything she’s gone through, Shania’s always had one of the biggest hearts in the world. She’s an amazing person.”
TRUE LOVE “My closest friends and family say they haven't seen me this free-spirited and happy in years,” Shania said after falling for Fred. “And it’s true. It’s definitely true.”
FINDING FAME Once her siblings were grown and out of the house, Shania decided to give music another try. She changed her name (Shania’s said to be an Ojibwa name meaning “on my way”), recorded a demo tape and sent it out to several music labels

T
he apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! “He’s been making music for a few years now,” Shania recently said of her son, Eja, adding that she believes he has what it takes to make it. “He’s very devoted and a real hard worker. He’s got a crazy passion for making music, and it’s really fun to watch.” But unlike his mom, the 18-year-old isn’t interested in getting on stage. “He loves to arrange and write music, [which] I’m relieved about, if [I’m] being really honest,” Shania confessed. “It’s just really taxing being a performer, being the person out in front, unless that’s what he really wants,” she continued. “He just has a quiet confidence about him, [but] I think he’ll enjoy music more just being the creator of [it].” Only time will tell if Mother knows best!

A MUSIC LEGEND 3
OK! TAKES A LOOK BACK AT SHANIA’S IMPRESSIVE CAREER In 1996, Shania took home her first Grammy for best country album for The Woman in Me.

Shania’s 1997 album Come On Over sold more than 40 million copies, making it the bestselling country album of all time and the eleventh all-time bestselling album in the United States.
— including Mercury Nashville Records, which signed her to a record deal almost immediately. By early 1993, she’d released her debut studio album, Shania Twain. “Around that time music producer and writer Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange took notice and reached out to Shania, offering to help write and work on her music,” says the insider, adding that the brunette beauty was open to talking. The pair met for the first time in June of that year, and according to Shania, the connection was instant. “I knew that I loved this person,” the singer recalled. “I felt like I’d already loved him.” Shania and Mutt wed just six months later. Together they soon took her career to new heights, releasing hits like “Any Man of Mine” and “(If You’re Not in It for Love) I’m Outta Here!” off her 1995 album The Woman in Me — as well as “You’re Still The One,” “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much” from 1997’s Come On Over. “Shania’s life was going at a frantic but very exciting pace — she was a singing sensation, a wife and business partner to Mutt, and [in 2001] she became a mom to their son, Eja,” says the insider. “It was
as if out of nowhere, Shania had everything she’d always dreamed of.”
ULTIMATE BETRAYAL In 2004, around the time of her Up! Tour, Shania began to sense trouble in her marriage to Mutt. “When I started to get lonely, I knew that something wasn’t right,” explained Shania, who began confiding in her close friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud, who was also married at the time. But the music sensation’s life was turned upside down when she discovered that it was Marie-Anne her husband was having an affair with. “I’ll never be okay with how my marriage ended,” admitted Shania, who filed for divorce from Mutt in 2009 — and hasn’t spoken to Marie-Anne since confronting her about the affair. “Whether she was part of the cause of the breakup or whether it was just me leaning on her because it was already breaking up, I really don’t know which came first,” she continued. “What I do know is she took advantage of the weakness in the relationship between Mutt and [me].”
STARTING OVER It took a long time to heal, but
The songstress solidified her place as the queen of country pop in 2011, when she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
She performed for more than 88 million fans worldwide during the 2003 Super Bowl XXXVII halftime show. Shania was eventually able to find happiness again. On Dec. 20, 2010, it was announced she’d gotten engaged to Frédéric Thiébaud — who happened to be Marie-Anne’s ex-husband; they wed 12 days later. “Yes, grief and betrayal brought them together at first, but it ultimately turned into a lasting love,” says the insider, noting that friends think they’re a wonderful couple. “Fred brings out the best in Shania. He’s so loving, kind and supportive, and he’s a great stepdad to Eja. This is the happiest she’s ever been in her life.” And it’s only going to get better. With her Vegas residency in full swing, Shania’s career is booming. “She’ll always love singing, but Shania’s been getting into acting as well,” says the insider, noting that last February she starred in the sports flick Trading Paint, alongside John Travolta — and in March she’ll be appearing in the drama I Still Believe, with KJ Apa and Gary Sinise. “Shania feels like this is a whole new chapter for her and she’s welcoming it with open arms,” the insider adds. “She’s so excited to see what comes next.” OK!

Nominated for best supporting actress in a film, J.Lo, 50, is sure to turn heads thanks to her intense fitness regimen and equally disciplined diet. “What you eat doesn’t just affect your body; it can also affect the way your skin looks,” said the Hustlers star, who stays away from processed foods and gets her nutrients from sources like egg whites, chicken breast and fish. “Protein is my go-to whenever I start having cravings, [but] I also love to relax with my kids after a workout and share a healthy snack with them.” No wonder she looks so good! BREAKFAST: Smoothie made with berries, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, honey, ice, fresh lemon juice and a scoop of protein powder LUNCH: Salad with salmon, peppers, broccoli, zucchini and a vinaigrette dressing SNACK: Handful of nuts or fresh fruit and vegetables DINNER: Grilled chicken breast with baked yams and sautéed brussels sprouts

Still, the Oscar winner admits that she’s a sucker for Southern fare, like her Grandma Dorothea’s biscuits — and doesn’t feel guilty about it. “I work out all the time anyway,” she added, “just to stay healthy.” BREAKFAST: Cup of coffee and a green juice LUNCH: Lentil soup or kale salad with roasted chicken SNACK: Fresh fruit DINNER: Fried chicken and corn salad

How did you prepare to play Beto? By reading up on immigration and how families cope with their parents being taken away from them. It was extremely humbling. It really opened my eyes and put life in perspective for me. Aside from that, Beto is a lot like me — we both had that awkward phase where sports, school and girls were all a struggle. What are some of the difficulties with starring in a reboot? There’s a lot of pressure because there are high expectations — and we’re also trying to make the fans of the original series happy.

The answer is: You’re looking at it.” Taylor went on to belt out hits like “Blank Space” and “Me!” and — after the crowd had serenaded her with “Happy Birthday” — kept the good times going with a private bash at Oscar Wilde restaurant. Joining her at the festive fête were loved ones, including boyfriend Joe Alwyn, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness, who all took pictures in a photo booth, sipped on cocktails and danced the night away.
