hat’s a wrap on life as a commoner. Barring potential reshoots, Meghan Markle reported to Suits’ Toronto set for the final time November 17, a source reveals. And Prince Harry’s girlfriend went out in a big way. The weekend of November 11, says the source, she and onscreen love Patrick Adams filmed their characters’ long-awaited nuptials. To avoid photos leaking, “they shot in a hotel,” says the source. “The set was on lockdown.” According to another insider, the vows paved the
way for Adams, 36, to exit at season’s end as well. “He wants to pursue other things,” explains the insider. “The wedding made it an easy break for both of them.” PRINCESS BRIDE The 36-year-old’s next act will involve increased philanthropy — she’s an advocate for UN Women and a World Vision Global Ambassador — and, predicts

SCRUBBING BACK IN?

Paging Dr. Yang: In a November 6 interview, Grey’s Anatomy’s Kevin McKidd said former onscreen love Sandra Oh may be open to returning to the ABC juggernaut. Four seasons after the 46-year-old exited the series, she and McKidd, 44, still talk “all the time,” he told Entertainment Tonight, adding the actress got “kind of jealous” when his character — chief of surgery Owen Hunt — remarried. And when he suggested the only way to change that would be to return, he says she replied, “Well, maybe.” McKidd is keeping his fingers crossed. “I think it would be so much fun,” he said. “She’s just such an amazing actor. I still miss her to this day.”

An insider confirms a report that the Real Housewives of New Jersey star — serving a 41-month sentence for bankruptcy fraud — will be transferred to a Pennsylvania prison. The move gives the Italy native, 45, a shot at entering an alcohol-abuse program he’s currently barred from due to his immigration status. But it means wife Teresa, 45, has to travel nearly three hours. “We’re used to it now,” she tells Us of monthly visits. “But I still hate it.”

A NEW VIEW Love, lost. Three days after the 48-year-old — a.k.a. Diddy, Puffy and Puff Daddy — announced he’d only answer to Brother Love, he revealed he was just joking: “I didn’t change my name. It was just part of one of my alter egos.”

COVER STORY Remini, who has said the church brainwashes people, “is honored to tell these stories,” says a source. “For her, it’s about doing the right thing.”
Remini exposes the Church of Scientology’s explosive secrets — but it comes at a cost
L
eah Remini desperately wants to take down the Church of Scientology — and its most high-profile members. In her Emmy Award–winning A&E docuseries, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, the actress turned investigative reporter paired up with the church’s former Australian senior executive Mike Rinder to expose the controversial organization’s secrets. “I will not let s--t go,” admits Remini, who cut ties with the church in 2013 after nearly 34 years. “If I find some untruth or a half truth or an omitted truth, I f--king find it.” The church has been less than thrilled with her discoveries. After the 47-year-old Kevin Can Wait star first exited, “the response was pretty quiet,” Tony Ortega, the Scientology blogger behind The Underground Bunker, tells Us. “They didn’t attack her. It was one statement about her being a diva or something.” That changed when she began digging into the group’s murky backstory. When she announced a second season “the gloves came off,” reveals Ortega.

“They went crazy, smearing her online. They had P.I.s dig up dirt, they got her biological father to record a video smearing her.” (In a statement to Us, a church spokesperson says that a campaign of hate and bigotry against a worldwide religion.”) For Remini, wed to Angelo Pagan, coping has been tough. “It hurts, but she’s strong,” explains Ortega. “She hasn’t lost her focus on
the end goal of exposing the church.”
THE DARK TRUTH On the reality series, Remini and Rinder spoke to ex-members, such as childhood best friends Saina Kamula and Mirriam Francis, about their harrowing experiences. In the early ’90s, L.A.-based Kamula alleged in the season 2 premiere, “Scientologist s run Tom’s life, ” a source says of Cruise.
“When Leah won her to Emmy, she dedicated it e pit des o, wh rs uto trib con the ion, uss erc rep d an ongoing risk spoke out and told their stories,” says a source.
own father had molested her. And though Francis’ dad confessed, she said, the church’s auditors — who assist members in clearing their consciences through question-andanswer sessions — refused to affirm the accusations. As Remini explained in the episode, “You cannot attack any Scientologist.” Though she gave it a shot with the religion’s most famed member, Tom Cruise. During an August Reddit AMA, she was asked if her former friend — she was a guest at his 2006 vows to Katie Holmes — is a good person. “No!” she replied, declaring that he is diabolical. “There is a public persona of the guy who looks at you directly in the eye and shakes your hand and hugs you and is an attentive person to you, and there’s the person behind the mask who is a completely different person.” The actor, 55, has often been a target. In a 2016 interview Remini said the church is “defrauding people out of their lives,” adding, “Tom and most Scientologists . . . are taught to believe that people like me are literally the devil.”
FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE Speaking out has come at a cost. “They went after her in all kinds of vicious ways,” says Ortega. But for Remini, their actions only validate her claims. Says Ortega, “Her show is all about revealing how the church reacts to enemies, how they attack people — then her show airs and they oblige by going after
the people who contributed. They are essentially proving a point for her!” And she’s ready to extend her quest into season 3. Says a Remini pal, “There are still stories to be told. There’s nothing that ever leads her to shy away from continuing to fight.”
Famous Followers The Orange Is the New Black actress joined in 1999 while dating Scientologist Danny Masterson’s brother Chris.

Born into the faith, she’s joked, “People assume we’re just the Hollywood religion and we worship rabbits.”

he offer is on the table. Should Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen ever decide they want to revisit their time on Full House, the show that catapulted them to fame as precocious 6-month-olds in 1987, series creator Jeff Franklin is ready. On his Netflix reboot, Fuller House, “when somebody rings a doorbell, the girls yell, ‘It’s always open!’” he explained to Us at a September 9 Paleyfest panel. “So that’s kind of how we feel about the Olsen twins: The door is open.” But after three straight years of being told no — Ashley immediately begged off, explaining she no longer feels comfortable acting, while Mary-Kate cited timing issues — “I’ve stopped asking,” Franklin admits. “Really, I kind of gave up.”

Three decades after the child stars shot to fame as infants, they enjoy a life Ashley Olsen describes as “sheltered.” Us takes a peek |
A source says Mary-Kate (in NYC Oct. 11) “loves Olivier’s kids. She’s really proud of them.”
Smart move. The 31-year-old former child stars abdicated their Hollywood throne some 13 years ago. After building a billion-dollar empire marketing everything from branded toothpaste to Barbie dolls and an endless line of

direct-to-video films, they stepped off camera following their last joint venture, the 2004 flop New York Minute. These days, says a source, the sisters “spend all of their time” working on their fashion lines, luxury label The Row and the more contemporary brand Elizabeth and James — and marvel at their old lives. “I look at old photos of me, and I don’t feel connected to them at all,” Mary-Kate told Marie Claire in 2010, while Ashley has remarked that as pint-sized actors they looked “like cute little chimpanzees.” Shaken by an adolescence spent in the spotlight, the designers, named 2015’s Fashion Innovators of the Year by WSJ Magazine, have intentionally retreated from the public eye. Neither has opened a Facebook or Instagram account — “We don’t dive into that world,” Ashley admitted to The Edit in March. “We’ve stayed quite sheltered” — and they grant few interviews. As actress sister Elizabeth, 28, explained to
Modern Luxury magazine of their publicity strategy, “They’re very tight-lipped — notoriously so.”
MARY-KATE’S TOP DESIRE In their younger days, says MaryKate, she and Ashley accepted that walking step-and-repeats and posing with fans was all in a day’s work: “Being in the public eye was almost part of our role and responsibility.” But now she’s happiest ensconced in the $13.5 million townhouse she shares with French financier husband Olivier Sarkozy (half-brother of former French president Nicolas) and his children, Julien, 16, and Margot, 14, in NYC’s Midtown. At the end of her work day, she ex-

sprawling home — complete with a private garden, a ballroom, rooftop pool and a hall of mirrors — to whip up meals for her brood. “Olivier likes a wife to cook and help out around the home,” says a source close to the pair, “and Mary-Kate loves being a wife and stepmom.” Homebodies, the couple prefer cozy nights at their pad, says the source, tastefully decorated with “tons of antique furniture and high-priced art.” But weekends find Mary-Kate facing what one pal calls “a big fear of flying” to travel to the Hamptons or Saugerties, New York, where she says, “I ride horses.” Should the occasion strike, the duo “like to attend charity events,” says the source (they made the rounds at the Dia Art Foundation gala in NYC November 5) or host dinner parties. The most talked-about fete: their 2015 wedding, featuring a meal prepared by a French chef and, says an insider, “beautiful china and bowls of cigarettes.” The latter is a habit Mary-Kate is desperate to kick. Multiple sources
reveal she and 48-year-old Sarkozy are eager to expand their family. Says the source, “They definitely want a baby and have been trying.” Yet even without another bundle, says the source, the unlikely duo are blissfully happy. “Olivier is obsessed with Mary-Kate and so sweet to her all the time,” says the source. “He’s a true gentleman.”
ASHLEY’S BIG SEARCH Ashley is still on the hunt for a charmer of her own. Since splitting with Richard Sachs — an art dealer nearly three decades her senior — this spring, pals have been pushing the onetime Badgley Mischka model to date again. “All of Ashley’s friends really want her to find someone to settle down with,” says the source. In New York, Ashley “dates guys she meets through work and events,” says the source, and also braves a few setups from pals, “but they’re all casual.” The New York University dropout would love that to change though. Explains the source, “She’s definitely ready for something serious.”
Until then, she concentrates on hobbies — she spent two years taking ceramics classes at Chambers Pottery in New York, says a source — and building their many brands. Along with running The Row and Elizabeth and James, they serve as creative directors for Italian shoe company Superga and, says the source, help to curate the designs being sold at the Wyeth furniture design store. “They are very into The Row,” says one insider, noting the pair invest a lot of time and money into store events, marketing and advertising. “They get it.” With Elizabeth and James, adds the insider, “they are very protective.” Often, they hand-select which stars they dress, including Natalie Portman (Ashley has dubbed her “sophisticated”) and Carrie Underwood. Says the insider, “They’re very invested in the company’s image.” As for their own, says the insider, “They’re focused on this fashion brand that people initially tried to write off. And they’re so happy to be out of the Hollywood spotlight.”

Though she’s nearly six months along, Kylie Jenner has no current plan to announce her news, says a source. “She really wants to keep the pregnancy under wraps.” But she and boyfriend Travis Scott — together since April — are talking through how they will coparent their baby girl. “They are going to have some sort of living arrangement and will raise the child together,” a source says of the 20-year-old lip kit maven and the rapper, 25, who maintain separate L.A. homes. “But they aren’t officially moving in together.” After all, says the source, “it’s a new relationship, so they’re navigating that. Travis has been very supportive.”
HAS ROB STOPPED FEUDING WITH CHYNA? They’re at “a standstill,” says the source. With Blac Chyna, 29, suing Rob and his family, claiming they had E!’s Rob & Chyna canceled (she also alleges her ex, 30, physically abused her), communication is limited between the parents of 12-month-old Dream. But Rob “is superinvolved in raising Dream,” the source says of the sock designer, who tweeted snaps from the tot’s November 10 birthday. “He adores her.”

While one pal says marriage is “in the cards” for the Good American designer and the NBA champ, dating since last summer, another insider says the divorcée isn’t focused on walking down the aisle. “It’s not a thing she has to have, especially since she’s already had it.” But the 33-yearold — due this winter — is excited for another major step. She and the Cleveland Cavaliers center, 26, are considering purchasing a house together in L.A.’s Calabasas or cohabitating in Khloé’s 10,000-square-foot pad. Either space will have a room fit for their little king. The source says they’ve “commenced” plans for the nursery but are waiting until after her December baby shower to finalize details. Adds the source, “She’s the happiest she has ever been.”
WHEN WILL KIM WELCOME BABY NO. 3? Another holiday arrival could be in the offing. Kim, who had son Saint in December 2015, is set to welcome her little girl in early January. Says the source, “Her surrogate is due just after Christmas.” Before then, the 37-year-old and husband Kanye West, 40, have to deck the halls of their remodeled Hidden Hills, California, home — the source says move-in day is December 1 — and have a key conversation. Since 4-year-old North still has issues with Saint (“She does not like her brother,” Kim has admitted), she’s in the dark about her second sibling. Says the source, “Nori and Saint don’t know that the baby is coming.”

The cruel words litter Ariel Winter’s Instagram feed every time she proudly posts a photo of her 5-foot-1 frame.

Along with a 2015 surgery to reduce her size-32F chest, she began analyzing the comments. “I would say to myself, ‘Do you really feel this way about yourself?’ And the answer was always no.” Should she need a reminder, she turns to her team of cheerleaders. Costars such as Sarah Hyland strive to surround her with positivity — “We’re there for her regardless of anything,” Rico Rodriguez tells Us — and Meaden doles out niceties. “He always tells me how special I am inside,” she gushes. “He loves me through thick and thin.
