Bridges revealed a cancer diagnosis in October. Yet in the months since, the Oscar winner has remained upbeat, sharing his progess as he battles lymphoma. The 71-year-old debuted his newly shaved head — and a new puppy — on Instagram in December, while in January he reported back after a CAT scan that his tumor “drastically shrunk.” Now, sources tell Star the Big Lebowski actor is basking in the support of his wife of 43 years, Susan Geston, as well as his three grown kids. And he has a new appreciation for the small things in life. “He’s eating sweet treats like cake and ice cream and booked massages, spa treatments and yoga healing sessions to lift his spirits,” says an insider. “It’s taught him to take a step back and not put himself under too much pressure.” As Jeff said himself, “This cancer thing is bringing on feelings of preciousness, & gratitude, & good old fashion love, and lots of it, big time.” ★

In a recent Vogue clip in which she discussed 15 of her iconic looks, she quipped, “If I’ve learned one thing, it’s how not to show your vagina on a red carpet.” ★

KANYE WEST IS OPENING UP ABOUT HIS SIX-YEAR MARRIAGE TO KIM KARDASHIAN — AND HOW HER OBSESSION WITH FAME DID THEM IN.

WORST WIFE EVER! 26 Star M AY

24, 2021

HREE months after filing for divorce from Kanye West, Kim Kardashian is living her best life. In mid-April, she was spotted partying at a club in Miami and later hobnobbing with David and Victoria Beckham and sexy reggaeton singer Maluma at the grand opening of Pharrell Williams’ Goodtime Hotel. On April 17, she posted a photo of a girls’ night out with her four sisters. Another going-out pic from April 27 says it all. “Back like we never left,” the SKIMS founder wrote. And that’s not even counting all those sexy bikini shots she’s sharing! “Kim,” says an insider, “is happy being free.” Kanye, not so much. Painted in the press as the bad guy in the split, the rapper has been grousing to friends, a source tells Star. “He’s been reflecting on his marriage,” the source says, “and the more he thinks about it, the more he realizes it was hell on earth.” Now the 43-year-old is telling pals he and Kim — who tied the knot in May 2014

and share North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and one-year-old Psalm — may have had some good times, but he is filled with bitterness and claims Kim was the worst wife ever. “Kanye regrets staying around for as long as he did,” says the source. “She treated him like dirt for years.” KEEPING UP Chief among the “Jesus Walks” singer’s complaints is how Kim’s family meddled in their relationship to feed their obsession with image and fame. “The way they approach things is fake and poisonous,” the source reveals. “They’re surrounded by drama constantly and he’s mad at himself for getting stuck in that ridiculous world.” The source adds that he’s also claiming Kim, 40, lied about how much her long-running reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, would interfere in their lives. “She swore in the beginning things would be different,” the source says. “But the writing was on the wall.” When Kanye refused to let cameras follow him 24/7, or asked Kim to have her mom, Kris Jenner, and famous sisters

back off, blow-out battles would ensue. “The fights would go on all night,” says the source. “Kim wouldn’t listen to reason.” It would get so bad, adds the source, Kim would lock herself in the bathroom during arguments, or they would end up sleeping in separate bedrooms: “Things only got better when Kanye gave in and Kim got her way.” Ye, who revealed he was bipolar in 2016, also believed the family was playing mind games with him. “He says they were constantly plotting behind his back and then would bitch and moan if he disagreed with them or didn’t want to make himself look like a fool on the show,” says the source. “Kim would tell Kanye he just ‘didn’t get it’ and that if he just played it along, they could be happy together.” NO SPARK Jealousy was another source of tension. “Kanye is convinced Kim and her family were envious of his success,” says the source of the “Stronger” rapper, who’s won 21 Grammy awards and sold 21 million

words, a lighter guy than her troubled ex, whose unpredictable behavior — including a disastrous presidential run; public rants, including one in which he revealed the couple had almost aborted North; and his decision to create a compound in Wyoming — upended her expectations of the marriage. “Kim will swear to her dying day she gave Kanye her all,” says the source. “He messed it up.” The ultimate insult to her minimalist-obsessed ex: She’s ditched the all-beige outfits he used to put her in and is dressing like she used to. “It just underlines how shallow she is,” sniffs the source. As the pair continue to hash out their divorce, a rueful Kanye is learning to let go. “He’s grateful to be done with her and rebuilding his life,” says the source. “He’ll never reunite with Kim under any circumstances.”★

How We Sa FROM A SHOCKING BETRAYAL TO HEARTBREAKING FERTILITY ISSUES, NICOLE KIDMAN AND KEITH URBAN NEARLY DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THEIR 15TH ANNIVERSARY. 30 Star M AY

24, 2021

HE played a wronged wife in The Undoing, struggling to comprehend her husband’s betrayal. And her Big Little Lies character suffered unspeakable pain at the hands of her husband. Off-screen, on the other hand, Nicole Kidman revels in her rock-solid — and still hot — marriage to Keith Urban. Or “my love,” as she calls him in a sweet social-media post, while he dubs her his “baby girl.” It’s hasn’t always been easy. As they gear up for their 15th wedding anniversary June 25, a Star insider reveals Nicole and Keith, both 53, nearly didn’t make it to the milestone. Or even their first anniversay! Between addiction and fertility issues and two busy careers, they’ve had to fight for their marriage. Now, during lockdown, they’ve learned to slow down and appreciate each other. Says the insider, “Isolating together has helped them connect even more.” UPS AND DOWNS The two fell for each other fast. Meeting at a 2005 Australian diplomacy gala, they felt an instant connection; and within a few months, the Oscar winner was head over heels for her fellow Aussie. “By that point,” she’s recalled, “he was the love of my life. The honeymoon didn’t last long. Months after their 2006 wedding, reports emerged that Keith had strayed during their engagement with a woman he met a Nashville bar. By then, he later admitted, Keith — who’d been to rehab twice before — was abusing drugs and alcohol again. In his lowest moments, the “One Too Many Singer” revealed he went on cocaine and ecstasy benders and “remember[ed] thinking, ‘I’m probably not going to make it until tomorrow.’” In what should have been a time of bliss, Nicole instead found herself staging an

intervention. “I caused the implosion of my fresh marriage,” Keith’s said of that time. After three months in rehab, he vowed to “shake off the shackles of addiction.” More heartbreak lay in store, as Nicole — who had dealt with infertility and miscarriage during her first marriage to Tom Cruise, with whom she ultimately adopted kids Bella, 28, and Conor, 26 — was desperate to get pregnant. “I had tried and failed and failed and failed,” she’s said of her fertility issues. Though she was finally able to conceive daughter Sunday, 12, and to welcome daughter Faith, 10, via surrogate, the journey was fraught for the couple. “Keith tried to be there for her,” reports the insider. “But she spiraled into a state of despair and depression and shut herself off. She panicked that Keith would leave her because she couldn’t get pregnant.” CEMENTING THEIR BOND Their much hoped for family ushered in new challenges for the in-demand stars. Keith’s months-long tours and Nicole’s grueling producing and acting schedule forced them to spend months apart, and that vacuum created doubt, says the insider: “There were trust issues and jealous fights.” Over the years, the couple sought “sporadic” marriage counseling to teach them how to keep their bond strong. Those lessons came in handy during the pandemic. “It forced them to talk through and deal with their issues, and to set some new intentions — to have regular date nights and vacations, and to speak at least every day when they’re apart,” says the insider. “They’ve also been working on their physical connection.” Adds the insider, “They’re still navigating through issues just like any other married couple, but now they feel like they have the right tools. They’re stronger than ever.”★

Before she wed former NYPD officer Brendan, the country star caught flak from ex Blake for dating married man Evan Felker. “Been taking the high road for a long time…almost gave up,” the Voice coach tweeted. “But I can finally see something on the horizon up there!! Wait! Could it be? Yep!! It’s karma!!” Brendan came with his own complications as well. He

Noting that his ex was already involved with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, Brian blabbed on and on about the demise of his marriage — and damned the new couple with faint praise. “I don’t want people to think her and he are villains, or that I was a victim in any way,” he began before being overcome by emotion. “It sucks when life changes.”

cast shakeup in the reality series’ 11th season brings new faces and new feuds. Crystal Kung Minkoff makes history as RHOBH’s first AsianAmerican Housewife — and clashes with a newly promoted Sutton Stracke. (Kyle Richards’ sister Kathy Hilton also joins the group, while Denise Richards and Teddi Mellencamp are out.)

Filmed in 2020, in this outing Erika Girardi (a.k.a. Erika Jayne) finds herself embroiled in a highly publicized legal battle — and accused of embezzlement — amid her divorce from Tom Girardi. Elsewhere, it’s business as usual: Lisa Rinna prepares to release a lip kit as her daughter stirs up controversy; actress Garcelle Beauvais

dives into cohosting The Real; and Dorit Kemsley designs a wedding-dress line. But after too much time in lockdown, the Housewives are eager to return to their social lives, too. The good times come to a screeching halt, however, when certain friendships are called into question, forcing the ladies’ claws to come out sharper than ever before.

FRUIT EXTRACT HELPS

HELPS HAIR COUNT & MORE HAIR GROWTH THE FRUIT EXTRACT

THE SECOND STUDY

Scientists at the University of Kuala Lumpur have identified compounds in palm fruits, called tocotrienols, which significantly help promote hair growth. They are thought to reduce inflammation levels in the scalp, which is commonly associated with thin hair.

A second, larger study, was done to conﬁrm the results. The study group was monitored for the number of hairs in a pre-determined scalp area at 0, 4 and 8 months. The results were impressive. Hair growth increased signiﬁcantly as compared to the placebo group, recording a 16% increase at 4 months and a 34.5% increase at the end of the 8-months, compared to a 0.1% decrease in the control group.

THE STUDY RESULTS Repeatedly, studies are conﬁrming the effect of tocotrienols in helping hair count. In a clinical study done to obtain the US patent, scientist could show that everyone in the study group taking 50 mg of a tocotrienol complex, had positive results after 5 months.

*11/120,268, US PATENT, HAIR GROWTH FORMULATION, HOVIS, SDN BHD

Researchers studied an area of the scalp equal to 2x2 cm and counted the hairs at the beginning of the study, at 4 months and at 8 months. At the end of the study, the participants on the tocotrienol supplement had gained on average 34.5% more hair or an increase in average hair count from 285 to 383 hairs.**

Both studies used a patented tocotrienol complex, which in the USA is available in the product Hair GroTM, sold at Walgreens and other participating retailers

MULBERRY LEAF EXTRACT NEWS

Key ingredient helps

BLOCK CARBS

Are you struggling to lose weight or to better stabilize your blood sugar? Then consider mulberry leaf extract. This less known herb has been used for centuries in Asia.

n recent studies, scientists have found a compound in mulberry leaves called 1-DNJ, which helps reduce carbohydrate digestion. This compound simply interferes with regular breakdown of carbs, so they may pass through you, instead of being absorbed. This is good news for your blood sugar levels and even more, your weight!

In Italy, scientists set out to test the weight loss power of mulberry leaf. They conducted a 90day study with two larger groups of people. Both were put on a calorie-controlled diet, but one group took a mulberry leaf supplement (Zuccarin DietTM) at each meal. The results were impressive.

STUDY RESULTS

After 90 days the mulberry leaf group showed an average weight loss of 20 pounds. They lost 10% of their total body weight and 3 times more weight than the control group (people not taking mulberry, but on the same diet). 1

% BODY WEIGHT LOST 12

Mulberry leaf is sold at Walgreens pharmacies and online as Zuccarin DietTM. For more information or to get a discount, visit www.newnordicusa.com.

The Law of Attraction Brighton, UK, May 4

Setting off sirens! A handsome Harry Styles was spotted in full bobby uniform filming Amazon Studios’ My Policeman. In the drama — adapted from Bethan Roberts’ 2012 novel and set in the 1950s — the 27-year-old stars as a gay cop involved in a heartbreaking love triangle with his wife (Emma Corrin) and another man (David Dawson) during a time when homosexuality was criminalized. Though Harry’s best known for his music, the former One Direction singer has been focusing more on his acting career of late. He’ll also star in the upcoming Olivia Wildedirected Don’t Worry Darling, which wrapped in February.
