FULL OF HEART LA, Dec. 11 After taking time off from Jimmy Kimmel Live! while son Billy had his second open-heart surgery, JIMMY KIMMEL returned to the air with the 8-monthold (who was born with a congenital heart condition) in tow. “He’s fine, everybody,” the emotional host said. “He may have pooped, but he’s fine.” During his monologue, he encouraged Congress to fund the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and got choked up. “Daddy cries on TV,” he noted, “but Billy doesn’t.”

BINDI: ‘MY BOYFRIEND IS MY SUNSHINE’
he road to happiness has been a long one for Bindi Irwin whose father, The Crocodile Hunter host Steve died from a stingray attack in 2006 when she was just 8. But she’s found joy again, thanks in part to her boyfriend of four years, Chandler Powell “He’s my sunshine every day,” Bindi, 19, tells Life & Style in an exclusive interview. “Chandler isn’t just my boyfriend, but also my best friend. He is always there and ready to help.” Chandler, 21, is happy to assist the Season 21 Dancing With the Stars champ as she carries on her dad’s legacy of wildlife conservation and education. Chandler spends time with Bindi in her home, which is in the middle of the 1,200-animal Australia Zoo, and they’ve also been busy traveling the world for Wildlife Warriors, a nonprofit started by Steve along with Bindi’s mom, Terri. “It’s wonderful to have found someone who

is up for any challenge, from working with crocodiles to making echidna [spiny anteater] food,” Bindi tells Life & Style. “Chandler and I always try to stick together as best as we can. Whenever we travel, we always try to travel together. It’s nice knowing you have someone with you who is always on your side.” While some fans hope marriage is in the young lovebirds’ future, Bindi says right now she’s busy focusing on work. “I really hope I’ve made Dad proud,” she explains. “I’ll continue to do my best to make sure his message and legacy live on forever.”
Chandler has stolen Bindi’s heart, and she’s certain her late dad, Steve, would approve. “My family loves Chandler,” she tells Life & Style.

Justin, 23, and Selena, 25, have been on and off since 2010, but Pattie hopes they’ll stick together for good this time. “I would be honored to have her around as much as she wants to be around,” she adds. “They have always cared so much about each other — that’s undeniable.”

JEN’S PERFUME SALES REALLY STINK!
Need to do some last-minute holiday shopping? One way to get it done on the cheap is to buy Jennifer Aniston Eau de Parfum women’s perfume spray. Apparently, customers think the fragrance — which boasts “light floral notes and a sensual base of musk and wood” — is, well, a stinker. A shopper recently spotted it on a sales table at a Southern California T.J.Maxx, with the price slashed from $28.99 to $16.99! In better fragrance news for Jen, her newest perfume, Chapter One, which was released in October, is still a full-price item at most locations — for now.
WHERE IN THE ORLD IS TOM?
Months after injuring himself doing a stunt (above), “Tom’s still not 100 percent,” says an insider.
nce Tom Cruise broke his ankle filming a stunt on the London set of the sixth Mission: Impossible movie in August, he’s been harder to track down than his elusive spy character, Ethan Hunt. Tom, 55, hasn’t been photographed in public since Oct. 4. So where on earth is he? He’s been holed up at two of his homes, an apartment in a Scientology-owned building in Clearwater, Fla., and another outside London, an insider exclusively tells Life & Style, “working with doctors and physical therapists.” Most stars would still be out and about, even hobbling around, but Tom “hates for the public to see him when he’s not action-hero ready,” the insider says. Though M:I 6 remains set for a July 2018 release, Tom’s return to the set hasn’t been as swift as he’d hoped. “He tried coming back from the injury too soon in September, and it was the wrong move,” the insider says. “It remains to be seen if the film will wrap production as planned in late December.”

HOLLYWOOD Bethenny’s Mom:
Kylie, Kendall and Kim are worried about Caitlyn’s new relationship. “They feel like Caitlyn’s giving them a lot of mixed signals about Sophia,” reveals an insider.
READY TO HELP ASONINCOURT!
With Bethenny Frankel suing Jason Hoppy for full custody of daughter Bryn, 7, Bethenny’s estranged mom, Bernadette Birk, is picking sides — and could put her own daughter at a disadvantage. “I am going to reach out to Jason,” Bernadette, who’s been feuding with Bethenny for years, exclusively tells Life & Style. “I want to see what has really gone on with the accusations Bethenny has made against him. If I believe him, I will offer to help him in his custody action.” He could use the help: In January, he was arrested for allegedly stalking and harassing Bethenny, and in October, a judge awarded Bethenny, 47, a six-month stay-away order, mandating that Jason, 47, not contact Bethenny or arrive at Bryn’s school when Bethenny’s there. “I feel very sorry for Jason,” adds Bernadette. “He seems like a good man.”
As Bethenny and Jason battle over Bryn, Bethenny’s mom (inset, above left) tells Life & Style she’s prepared to step in.
Omarosa:
I HAVE A STORY TO TELL Angie and Brad “are playing tug-of-war,” says an insider, “and she’s winning.”
ANGIE AND BRAD: STILL FIGHTING OVER THE KIDS
For the second holiday season in a row, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are locked in a feud over their children. Just before the holidays, Angie decided to go away with the kids until Jan. 9, Life & Style has exclusively learned. “That means Brad gets no time with them for Christmas or New Year’s Eve,” says an insider. “Angie’s in the driver’s seat when it comes to getting the children for the holidays, and she’s taking advantage of that.” After Angelina, 42, filed for divorce in September 2016, the duo entered into an agreement that gives her primary custody of Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 9. But Brad, 54, isn’t giving up. “He’s trying to play nice,” the insider says. “But every time he asks Angie for something concerning the kids, she shoots him down.”

WE DON’T TRUST CAITLYN’S SEXY NEW PAL ince August, Caitlyn Jenner and 21-year-old transgender model Sophia Hutchins have been inseparable, whether going on a Chipotle run together (above) or jetting off on a Mexican vacation. While Caitlyn, 68, insists they’re just close friends, her daughters Kylie, 20, and Kendall, 22, don’t buy it — or like it! “They’ve heard from friends that Caitlyn’s dating Sophia, and it upsets them like you wouldn’t believe,” an insider tells Life & Style.
S
“She’s their age! They feel a mix of jealousy and distrust about it.” They’re not alone. Big sis Kim Kardashian, 37, “is very suspicious of Sophia, too,” says the insider. And when they ask Caitlyn what’s really going on with Sophia, “she hems and haws and doesn’t really give them a straight answer,” the insider says. “Sometimes she calls Sophia her ‘protégé.’ There are a lot of mixed signals and questions the girls want answered.”

HOLLYWOOD HEA “She’s in love again,” a source says of Britney (who packed on the PDA with Sam at an LA Lakers game in November).
BRITNEY’S GETTING MARRIED! O ops…she wants to do it again! Now that Britney Spears and model Sam Asghari have hit the one-year mark, Brit’s itching to get hitched. “They’re planning on getting engaged and having a spring wedding,” a source exclusively tells Life & Style. “One year was her benchmark. They passed what she was calling her ‘one-year relationship test.’” Britney, 36, practically has her big day all planned out already. “She’s seriously considering Hawaii — she loves it there,” the source says. “She wants a beach wedding and she definitely wants to be barefoot. She’ll wear a white dress, but it won’t stay on for long — she wants to ditch the dress and get into a bikini.” Britney
has been down the aisle twice before: She impulsively wed childhood pal Jason Alexander in Las Vegas in January 2004 — and got the union annulled 55 hours later — and then tied the knot with Kevin Federline that October. (They divorced in 2007 and have two sons, Sean, 12, and Jayden, 11). But the “Toxic” singer believes this marriage will stick. She and Sam, 23, first met on the set of her steamy music video for “Slumber Party.” At first, “Britney thought of Sam as a nice distraction,” the source says. “She never thought it would get so serious, but it has. They have lots in common and she says she feels safer with Sam than with any other man she’s ever loved.”
Brit’s planning a destination wedding for close friends and family. “Her two boys will be there,” says a source. “And she wants her sister, Jamie Lynn, to be her maid of honor.”
KOURTNEY WARMS UP TO SCOTT’S GIRLFRIEND
Despite their 15-year age difference, Scott Disick and Sofia Richie’s romance is still going strong — and now they have an unlikely supporter: Scott’s ex Kourtney Kardashian. “Kourtney is giving Sofia credit for turning Scott into a better man, and more importantly, a better father,” an insider reveals. “She’s happy that Scott’s priorities have shifted from nightmare party animal to reliable baby daddy.” Throughout their on/ off nine-year relationship, Kourtney, 38, and Scott, 34, often warred over his hard-partying ways, and Kourtney repeatedly threatened to restrict Scott’s time with their kids, Mason, 8, Penelope, 5, and Reign, 3. But since Scott and Sofia, 19, confirmed they were dating in September, he’s been dialing his behavior back a bit, opting for cozy dinner dates and romantic vacations with Sofia instead of boozy late nights in the club. Kourtney’s taken notice. “She doesn’t really care how or why Scott turned over a new leaf,” notes the insider, “as long as he stays that way and doesn’t slip back into his old routines.”
CLOCKWISE FROM MAIN: GETTY (7); SPLASH
NEW PROBLEMS FOR ELLEN AND PORTIA After nearly a decade of marriage, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s life is nothing near wedded bliss. “Ellen is a control freak,” says a source. Lately, Portia’s been asserting herself, and it’s sparked some battles. The couple has made it through rough patches before, but friends worry their milestone anniversary on Aug. 16, 2018, could play a role in finally splitting them up. Why? California is one of the few states that uses a “10-year rule,” which says that if a divorce comes after 10 years, the spouse who earns less money can collect alimony for a much longer time than if the split comes earlier. Ellen, 59, is worth $360 million, while Portia, 44, is worth a reported $20 mil. So if the talk show host ends things before August, “she could save herself millions,” the source notes. “In the past, Ellen has done whatever it takes to stay married, but she’s obviously concerned about her fortune.”

HOLLYWOOD HEARTBEAT NAOMI: UPSET OVER LIEV’S NEW LOVE
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his girlfriend of 10 years, Lauren Hashian, are expecting their second baby girl together, and that means plenty of pampering for Lauren. “Foot massages and back rubs are just the beginning,” says an insider. “Dwayne runs bubble baths, plans spa getaways and has no qualms about making late-night runs to the grocery store when Lauren’s cravings kick in.” Dwayne, 45, has the daddy-to-be routine down pat: He and Lauren, 33, are already parents to Jasmine, 2, and he has a 16-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. Says the insider: “He’s used to treating the women in his life like queens.”

Mischa, 31, “is looking at properties in LA where they could live together,” a source exclusively tells Life & Style. “They both rent apartments, so she’s saying they should buy a new place and move in.” What does James think of the idea? “He’s on board,” says the source. “He’s trying to build his modeling career in LA, so he’s spending more and more time there anyway.” Finding a house within their budget shouldn’t be a problem: The son of one of Australia’s richest businessmen, James is heir to a breathtaking $574 million fortune.

COVER STORY
THE DYNAMIC DUO HAS EVEN BOOSTED MEGYN’S RATINGS
Talk about a lead-in! On the heels of Hoda and Savannah’s success, Megyn Kelly Today has gotten a ratings boost in the 9 a.m. hour. The host , who had flailed in the ratings since her Sept. 25 debut, drew in 2.9 million viewers on Dec. 11, one of her best showings yet. “She’s coming into her own and seems to have hit her stride,” says an NBC insider, noting that the Fox News veteran has been taking on harder-hitting stories, particularly those about sexual harassment and other misconduct — the same offenses that got Matt fired. “Megyn feels like her show is finally relevant. It’s a new era for her and the women at NBC.”
happy with the shake-up. “The atmosphere on the set without Matt is a lot lighter — people feel like they can breathe,” says the NBC insider. He was known for an aggressive, bullying style when interviewing some celebrities (like his infamous Tom Cruise sit-down in 2005 and, more recently, when he grilled Corey Feldman in October about his sex-abuse claims; the former child star later called the questioning “hostile”). “Matt was a strong presence and definitely cast a shadow,” says the NBC insider. “Now it’s a friendlier feeling. No one is walking on eggshells.” As the world now knows, Matt was hiding an even

darker side. In the days following his ouster from his $25 million-per-year job, lurid allegations emerged. Among them: accusations that the married father of three, 59, had assaulted a female co-worker who passed out during sex with Matt in his locked office, and had given another employee a sex toy with a note describing how he would use it on her. “The horror stories about Matt keep piling up at work, and Savannah and Hoda say it’s all news to them,” says a source. The entire Today family feels betrayed by Matt. “Hoda and Savannah’s side of the story is that Matt was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” adds the source. “They cringe at each
new story and allegation.” But they have spoken to their disgraced former co-worker since the scandal. “They have not cut him off,” reveals a Savannah and Hoda insider. “They are hugely disappointed, but they won’t forget how supportive he’s been of them personally.” The anchors both feel conflicted. “I’ve known Matt for 15 years. I’ve loved him as a friend and a colleague,” Hoda said on Nov. 29. “It’s hard to reconcile what we are hearing with the man we know who walks in this building every single day.” Matt issued an apology the next day, saying, “There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the
pain I have caused others by my words and actions.” Matt continued: “Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized, but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed,” adding, “I regret that my shame is now shared by the people I cherish dearly.” Privately, he tried to make amends with some of those people — including Savannah and Hoda. “He has apologized for the position he has put them in,” says a friend. “And he’s offered both of them encouragement.”

Don’t expect Matt to tune in. “The word is that Matt is not taking the news that Today is thriving in the ratings well at all,” says the source. “It’s believed he is
forward, they are no longer initiating communication,” notes the friend. “It’s just tricky. They have fond feelings toward Matt, but they now know [about his inappropriate behavior]. As women, that’s hard to reconcile.” It’s even harder for his wife of 19 years, Annette. The 52-year-old former model was spotted without her wedding band soon after the allegations against Matt became public. She’d previously filed for divorce in 2006, claiming Matt was “extremely controlling” and subjected her to “cruel and inhumane treatment.” But she stayed in the marriage for the sake of their kids,
Jack, 16, Romy, 14, and Thijs, 11, withdrawing her petition a month later. Now insiders expect her to ditch her husband for good — and journalists, including the Today team, are clamoring for her to tell all. “Of course the big interview to get would be with Annette. Would Savannah or Hoda go after that interview? Absolutely,” says the NBC insider. Savannah and Hoda are welcoming another woman hurt by Matt: Ann Curry. It’s largely believed that Ann, 61 — who exited Today with an awkward, tearful goodbye on live TV in 2012 — was forced out by Matt. “There is talk now of bringing
a lonely, beaten man who is ashamed and in exile.” But the women left to pick up the pieces after his departure are thriving. “They ’ve not only held things together since Matt’s firing, but done great work together,” notes a confidant of Savannah and Hoda’s. “They ’ve always loved each other, but Savannah and Hoda are spending more time talking when the cameras aren’t rolling than they ever have. Matt’s downfall has forged a deeper friendship between the two.”
IT’S BEEN A GREAT YEAR FOR HODA PERSONALLY, TOO!
Hoda has plenty of reason to celebrate this holiday season: Life has been good for the veteran journalist on and offscreen in 2017. In February, she became a first-time mom at age 52 when she adopted daughter Haley Joy. “She’s a Valentine’s baby,” Hoda says of her little girl (who inspired her first-ever children’s book, I’ve Loved You Since Forever, due out March 6). “She is the love of my life.” There’s another big love in her life, as well. She and live-in businessman beau Joel Schiffman, 59, celebrated their fourth anniversary in June. Gushes Hoda: “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy!”

Then came the official engagement announcement in November. But real life had to catch up with them eventually. Tensions between Harry and Meghan have been building, over everything from a prenup to her lack of freedom in her new home city, London. Now Life & Style has exclusively learned

Tensions between smitten Prince Harry and his bride-to-be, Meghan Markle, come to a head that the couple had their first fight in December. “Lots of things built up and it just suddenly erupted,” says an insider.Addsapalace staffer: “There were plenty of tears and raisedvoices.” Harry, 33, had just returned from a hunting trip to Germany, where he and a group of pals killed 15 wild boars. Meghan, an animal lover who favors vegan leather pants, was horrified and let Harry know it. But she was far more upset that he’d left her alone for two days.

ON HER OWN With Harry overseas, she felt like she had no one to turn to. “She is missing her family in California and her friends in Toronto [where Suits filmed],” says the insider. During their fight, “she was upset when he didn’t seem to understand how homesick she’d
been feeling.” She certainly couldn’t cry to Queen Elizabeth II. Though the 91-year-old monarch likes Meghan, she hasn’t yet given formal approval for the May wedding, and Meghan was insulted that the queen is pushing for her to sign a prenup to protect Harry’s $40 million fortune. Meghan is hurt, the source says, “that it would even cross the queen’s mind that she could have an ulterior motive for marrying Harry.” Despite the hurt feelings, Harry and Meghan soon made up. The queen even invited Meghan to spend Christmas with the royals at her country estate, Sandringham, a first for a royal fiancée. That helped smooth things out, and insiders say the argument made the duo stronger in the end. “Harry was being a bit thoughtless, not realizing how much Meghan has to deal with and adjust to,” says the palace staffer. “But he realized his mistake and apologized. He will now make a special effort to be more sympathetic and understanding.”

The Celebrity Stylist Says “Hollywood has embraced the high necklines, long sleeves and long hems of the past few seasons, but in an effort to keep it sexy, they’re now gravitating toward holefilled dresses — it’s the perfect way to cover up while still showing skin,” says stylist Katy Robbins, who has worked with Lucy Hale and Padma Lakshmi. And where the holes appear can help determine a frock’s vibe: Kept to one spot, like on the skirt of Delilah Belle’s gown, or down the sides, like on J. Lo’s frilly mini, the holes give off a flirty feel; head-to-toe holes, like on Sara’s gown, scream edgychic, says Robbins, who notes that the right undergarments are key. “Donning high-waisted panties beneath a holey dress ensures a look that’s sultry yet tasteful.”

HAIR NOW
How to Wear Bobby Pins orget time-consuming, intricate hairstyles! Today Hollywood hair is all about laid-back looks that put pins front and center, instead of using them covertly to keep styles together. “Bobby pins are essential hair accessories at this point! They’re a great way to take a ’do from boring and ordinary to intriguing and unique,” says hairstylist Michael Dueñas, who created Ahna O’Reilly’s graphic pin look below. Dueñas’ key to hair holders #OnFleek: “If the pins are sitting too high or too low, they can look off and more like a mistake. Creating some sort of design gives them purpose.” He also tips to spritz pins with hair spray (we like Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Hairspray, $3, target.com) before and after sliding them into strands, to give them extra hold for stay-put style. To find the pin placement and design that works for you, take cues from these tress trendsetters.
F
Chevron S “The graphic design of AHNA O’REILLY’s above-the-ear pins adds an angular shape to her soft waves while keeping strands off of the face,” says Dueñas. “And the gold really pops against her dark hair.” To create it, he brushed her hair back behind the ear, then slid two Scunci Strong Hold Bobby Pins ($4, target.com) onto hair in a wide “V” shape, repeating the pattern five times for a funky finish.
54 January 1, 2018
Straight A long line of white pins adds depth and dimension to KATE MARA’s slickedback style, says Dueñas. To do: Brush the front section of hair back from ear to ear and secure into a half pony; gather the rest of hair into a low pony. Finish by placing 17 equally spaced bobby pins (like Sta-Rite White Bobby Pins, $4, amazon.com) in a straight line between the ear and the base of the top tail.
Haphazard? Sloppy! The contrast of black pins against EMMA ROBERTS’ platinum locks and porcelain skin? Harsh! Their random placement? More bedhead than beautiful. Using silver pins (like Salon Care Professional Supreme Silver Bobby Pins, $6, sallybeauty.com) would add shine without overwhelming while a crisscross design at the temple would leave a more polished appearance.

or Hollywood beauties, it’s out with the old and in with the new as they get ready to ring in 2018 with bold bedazzled versions of the same-ol’ hairpiece. “They’re pretty, girlie and regal — sending a message of importance and celebration and making a sassy strand statement to boot,” says hairstylist Ruth Roche, who has worked with Mariah Carey and Anne Hathaway. The crowning caveat? How the band is worn and what jewels adorn it can make all the difference in whether the look is yasss queen or a royal fail. Roche tips taking cues from Rita, at left, who kept her tresses simple and used a colorful tiara-like band to sweep hair back. “It opens up the face and pulls the eye up to ‘lift’ features while giving the spotlight to the piece’s more dainty detail — without overwhelming,” says Roche. She suggests pushing wavy locks back toward the crown with a rhinestone headband (we like ELLE Wide Fashion Head Wrap, $22, ulta.com) to unleash your inner Meghan Markle!

DIETS THAT WORK Lea Michele’s Winning Weight-Control Secret:
THE SWEET SPOT IET ver the years, actress Lea Michele’s weight has gone up and down, but she seems to finally have found the sweet spot. The Glee and Scream Queens star is now in the best shape of her life thanks to a healthy self-styled diet and SoulCycle, hot yoga and Pilates-style workouts. The backstory on her diet: “I was a vegan for a while, I was a vegetarian for 10 years and now I’ve incorporated meat back into my diet,” she has said. “I eat as healthy as possible because I know food fuels me.”
O
VERY VEGGIE Despite her flexible approach, Lea, 31, keeps her home completely vegan
with lots of fresh fruits and veggies — because this way, “when you’re reaching for snacks, you’re not reaching for bad things,” she says. Mainstays of her diet include avocado toast or smoothies in the morning, big salads for lunch and sushi or vegan food (such as lentil burgers) for dinner. “I try to stay on the healthier side, but I’m also Italian, so Italian food is my absolute favorite,” she admits. Though she didn’t work with Lea, Pittsburgh registered dietitian Leslie Bonci, author of The Active Calorie Diet, says: “Her attitude is fantastic! Being able to say, ‘I really like food and I’m going to choose the best possible food’ is so refreshing.”
Before: Softer Physique Lea’s weight and fitness levels have fluctuated a bit over the years, leading her to strive to find her perfect diet. “You have to look good, but you also have to feel good,” she says of her approach.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! KICK FOOD GUILT TO THE CURB If you tend to feel guilty or ashamed after eating certain foods or you keep a mental list of forbidden foods, you’re no stranger to food guilt. The trouble is, putting yourself hrough the emotional ringer for what or how much you ate can backfire: A study from New Zealand found that people who associate eating chocolate cake with guilt end to feel like they have less control over their eating when they’re under stress. That’s just one reason why it’s smart to take steps to banish food guilt — for good! Here’s how:
STOP JUDGING Ditch the habit of abeling foods as good or bad. “All ood is good because we can’t survive without it,” dietitian Leslie Bonci ays. Similarly, f you realize you’re calling yourself good or bad, virtuous or naughty, based on what you ate, hit the pause button and redirect your thoughts to a kinder place.
AIM FOR BALANCE Everyone overeats now and then, and it’s no big deal — as long as you return to a healthier pattern. Keep the long view in sight when you splurge and strive for a balanced, moderate approach over time.
ENJOY YOUR INDULGENCES When you eat rich or decadent foods, slow down, focus and really savor the tastes, textures and aromas, Bonci advises. This way, you’ll get more satisfaction out of fewer bites — without any guilt.
Now: Gleefully Fit! “I really don’t deprive myself,” Lea says of her eating habits. “I work out really hard and I eat healthy, so I never really feel guilty about the things that I’m eating.”

He was a child star, so it pretty much had to happen: Zac ends up in rehab, which he blames on struggling with life in the spotlight. “I was drinking a lot, way too much,” he says, admitting he took drugs, too.

comedian Paul Mooney was walking by. I ran out to say, “I love you, I’m an actor, I went to Juilliard.” It’s now kind of awkward as he lives in my neighborhood and I see him all the time.

SAVVY STAR Samira recently helped launch American Express’ Pay It Plan It feature, which allows users to quickly pay off small purchases and set up monthly payment plans for larger purchases.
My favorite red-carpet look is... wearing my hair very short. I feel comfortable and confident with that look. But now I’m trying something new, wearing it longer. Maybe I’ll find my new favorite look!
