Ed Sheeran tells People magazine that fatherhood has changed his perspective on life. “Having a kid has made me appreciate the simple things so much more.

Maroon 5 star Adam Levine tells Billboard magazine that balancing work and family life is a priority for him. “It’s a challenge to juggle everything, but I’ve learned that setting boundaries and making time for my family is so important.

Dua Lipa tells Harper’s Bazaar magazine that staying grounded is the key to her success. “You have to have a space where you can get out of the spotlight and be yourself.

In Touch Weekly claims Mariah Carey is ready to show the world that she is a better performer than Jennifer Lopez now that Jennifer's concert tour has been canceled. A source says, “Mariah is really excited to be getting back to Vegas and looking forward to proving she’s still at the top of the game. She’s extra excited to show that she’s still got it after J. Lo had to go and cancel her concert tour. She believes it’s karma biting her in the butt because she’s not as talented as she thinks and way too arrogant. For J. Lo it’s a huge big kick in the teeth to Mariah making all these huge concert plans, especially because she knows how much she’s been trash talking her and laughing about her divorce to boot. Now she’s going to have to suffer the indignity of seeing Mariah take the stage. But J. Lo isn’t giving up, she’s hoping to pick herself up and get the tour back on track once all this mess dies down. And a big motivation will be going head-to-head with Mariah and competing for her holiday fan base. It’s hard to believe she’d be thinking that far ahead, but that’s J. Lo for you, she always has a game plan.”



Page Six says Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have broken up and called off their engagement after seven years together. Johnson was recently seen in Malibu without her engagement ring.

They are happily together." 


The Business Times says Reese Witherspoon allegedly plans to set up Jennifer Aniston on a date. A source says,  “Reese is convinced Jen’s in a state of paralysis when it comes to her dating life. So, she’s decided what Jen needs is to get set up on a double date. She isn’t looking to pressure Jen, she just wants to set this up so they can kick back and have some fun because she’s convinced Jen is in desperate need of romance. She’s been all work and no play for too long,”



In Touch Weekly says Jennifer Lopez is allegedly shocked by Ben Affleck's new look, believing it's a cry for help. A source says, “She’s saying this clearly shows that Ben is clearly not in the right headspace and that he hasn’t been for some time. In her view, he looks so lost and kind of pathetic right now, it’s obvious to her that this is a cry for help but her hands are tied because he’s totally ghosted her.”


Heat magazine says Justin Timberlake is allegedly worried about the upcoming Britney Spears biopic. A source says, “There’s no question that Justin and Britney’s relationship is going to be covered in the movie version of her tell-all book, and he is already freaking out about it. Both Justin and Jessica have been having tense talks about what the biopic will mean for them and their family. They already found the release of the book difficult to deal with, now the idea of Justin being portrayed in a bad light on the big screen is just a step too far for them both. There were some really awful things in the book – both Justin and Jessica feel very sad and sensitive about this being put into film. He’s definitely considering getting his lawyers involved – the book was one thing, but the movie is another. He’s worried about people believing everything they see and his own children one day growing up to read and watch it all.”



Radar Online says Britney Spears is gearing up to expose her exes Justin Timberlake and Sam Asghari in her upcoming biopic.  A source says, "They better brace themselves for major embarrassment because Britney isn't going to hold back. Britney is over the moon about the movie and very involved in all aspects of it. She sold a ton of books, but she knows even more people are likely to watch the movie. Her dad will be a major villain in it. This movie is going to be a massive catharsis for Britney, not to mention a major payday. She's taking her power back and loving it."


The Daily Mail says fans are criticizing Dina Lohan for altering her selfies to appear younger than her daughter Lindsay. Some accuse her of using apps like FaceApp to enhance her appearance.

Radar Online says Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are worried about being apart as she tours and he focuses on football. A source says, “They’ve both gotten so codependent. The idea that they won't see each other for even a few weeks is totally sickening for them. Taylor is especially freaked out. She's always got this fear of other women trying to get at Travis. He’s a guy and there's always temptation and she's been burned plenty of times in the past. Travis seems to be just as threatened by all the guys around Taylor. He hates leaving her side. They’re both worried over this forced separation. It's stressing them out!”


Closer Weekly says Martha Stewart is prepared to defend her title as Lifestyle Queen against Meghan Markle. A source tells the magazine, "She is not the pass-the-baton sort of person and will not hand over her crown without a fight.

Dear Fonseca,

I recently celebrated my 35th birthday and am living my best life. I've got a wonderful fiance, a successful and lucrative career, and a wonderful family. On Friday, I received a phone call from my biological mother. She gave me up just weeks after I was born. I consider my adoptive mother and father my real parents. My biological mom asked me for help. She's lost just about everything and said she contacted me because she has nowhere else to turn and needs help. I had never spoken to my biological mother before Friday. At first, I was mad, but now, because I have such a big heart, my guilty conscience is setting in and telling me I need to do something even though she gave me up. Should I be the bigger person and do something positive for her? My head is telling me NO. What would you do if you were me? Should I help my mother or not?
