DECK the halls! London’s Westminster Abbey was filled with Christmas cheer — and a crowd of 1,600 — for Princess Kate’s annual Together at Christmas carol concert Dec. 5. Wearing a long green coat, the 43-year-old greeted guests at the medieval Abbey, including Eugene Levy, who recently interviewed her husband, Prince William, also 43, on his The Reluctant Traveler show. Along with celebs like Kate Winslet and Chiwetel Ejiofor — who read ’Twas the Night Before Christmas—the crowd included everyday heroes such as 9-year-old Sophia Turner, who sells her artwork to raise money for food banks, and 102-year-old D-Day veteran Jack Mortimer. The future king and queen’s three children, George, 12, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7, were also on hand for the festivities, which included a rendition of “I Saw…

It’s the ultimate holiday status symbol: A white chocolate coconut bundt cake gifted by Tom Cruise. Each year, the 63-year-old sends the $130 treats from Doan’s Bakery in Woodland Hills, Calif., to hundreds of recipients, owner Eric Doan recently told a news outlet. But not all gifts are created equal. “He does the large size and then a medium size, and then he does some smaller token ones, I think for employees,” the baker explained. While Doan revealed that the list stays pretty much the same from year to year, some celebs are no longer on it. Tom’s Top Gun: Maverick costar Glen Powell proudly showed off his confection last year, but others have been disappointed. “I was on the list for a while,” Brooke Shields shared in 2023. “I…

She’s just started to enjoy her engagement, but Miley Cyrus is already worried about what her wedding to musician Maxx Morando is going to look like. Several members of her family can’t stand being in the same room with each other! Namely her mom, Tish Cyrus, who wed Dominic Purcell in 2023, and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. “Miley’s mended fences with her father, but he’s still on terrible terms with Tish and Dominic,” a source tells Star (the exes’ rocky relationship included two previous divorce filings). “It’s going to be a nightmare.” Miley’s half-brother Trace is also on bad terms with Billy Ray, having called him out for previous bad behavior. Then there’s the prenup, which the 33-year-old will no doubt require to protect her $160 million fortune. Maxx,…

Frequent flier miles, anyone? Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis are doing their best to stay connected from opposite coasts, as a source reveals that the actress, 56, prefers L.A. to New York City, where Jim, 50, runs much of his wellness coaching business. “Jen lived in New York while she was a struggling actress, but those are not happy memories, and she vocally prefers the SoCal climate,” says the source. “She’ll always have a permanent residence in Los Angeles.” Jen’s projects, including her upcoming 5th season of The Morning Show and her new series, I’m Glad My Mom Died, typically film on the west coast. Emphasizes the source, “Her whole team and livelihood are in Los Angeles.” But Jen has become ever more enamored of Jim during their nine-month romance.…

A difficult chapter reopened as Thomas Markle Sr., 81, recovered from a Dec. 3 lower-leg amputation in the Philippines, where he moved in January. His seven-year estrangement from daughter Meghan began in 2018 when he staged photos and blabbed to the press ahead of her wedding. Nevertheless, the duchess tried to get a message to him after learning about the emergency surgery, but reaching him proved complicated. Outdated contact information meant a Dec. 5 email from Meghan went to an address he no longer uses, and a Daily Mail reporter remained at his bedside during his ordeal at his request. As a steady flow of stories were published, it became “exceedingly difficult for the duchess to contact her father privately,” Meghan’s rep said, calling the arrangement a breach of “ethical…

GEORGE CLOONEY The Jay Kelly star has never been shy about blasting the 1997 flick Batman & Robin, directed by Joel Schumacher. George, 64, recently joked that his and his wife’s 8-year-old twins will be traumatized by the detailed costume he wore as the Caped Crusader. “We know they’re going to be in therapy no matter what, just from Batman & Robin,” he joked. “‘My dad had rubber f**king nipples.’ Disaster.” DAKOTA JOHNSON Not what she signed up for! The 36-year-old griped that the 2024 box-office bomb Madame Web was “made by committee,” leaving her soured on the Marvel superhero genre. “I probably will never do anything like it again because I don’t make sense in that world, and I know that now,” she explained. “But sometimes in this industry,…

Belting Out Her Best Mashantucket, Conn., Dec. 7 Jessica Simpson took a gamble with this plunging look during her performance at Foxwoods Resort Casino — and it paid off!

Aw, we thought these crazy kids would make it! Fans were thrilled when The Naked Gun costars Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson’s onscreen chemistry turned into an off-screen romance, but in a recent interview, the Baywatch babe confirmed that the relationship has cooled. “If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while, but only after we finished filming,” the 58-year-old told a news outlet, adding that the duo had spent “an intimate week” at the 73-year-old’s country home. It was quite wholesome, she noted. “I had my own room. Our assistants both came; even family stopped by.” Alas, following what she called their “romantic lost week,” she confessed, “we went our separate ways to work on other films.” Some wondered whether the pair’s flirty appearances…

Santa Claus isn’t the only one staring down a Dec. 25 deadline. Insiders tell Star that Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, hoping to reconnect with her apparently estranged son and daughter-in-law, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, has given the two an ultimatum: Apologize to the family by Christmas or risk being on the outs forever. “As angry and hurt as Victoria is, she hasn’t been able to stop trying to fix things with Brooklyn,” a source says of the 51-year-old, who shares four kids with husband David. “He’s her son and she loves him. So far, she’s tried everything from turning the other cheek and being patient to outright groveling, and nothing is working. Now she’s trying tough love.” The feud reportedly began around the couple’s 2022 wedding, when Nicola refused…

Looks like he’s off the market! Sources say Glen Powell and Michelle Randolph are Hollywood’s newest item. “They’re going with the flow” of their new romance, says an insider. “It’s early days, but they’re having fun.” Glen, who’s previously dated Nina Dobrev, Aussie TV presenter Renee Bargh and model Gigi Paris, invited the Landman star to the Sept. 25 premiere of his Hulu series Chad Powers. “They really hit it off,” continues the insider. “Things got going from there.” The actress, 28, also showed up to support the Top Gun: Maverick star, 37, at his Nov. 15 SNL hosting gig; later that month, the duo was spotted dancing at an Austin bar. “They’ve been enjoying themselves whenever they both have downtime,” says the source. “Neither of them is getting carried…

Sean “Diddy” Combs has for decades denied any part in the deaths of rappers Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace (a.k.a. Biggie Smalls). Now Netflix’s docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning has raised new questions, with several participants alleging that the 56-year-old — currently in prison on prostitution charges — was indeed involved in the murders. “I think that Sean had a lot to do with the death of Tupac, [and] he ushered Biggie to his death,” Bad Boy Records co-founder Kirk Burrowes claims on the show. In 1996, Diddy’s rival Tupac, 25, was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. A year later, Biggie, 24, was also killed in a drive-by after attending the Soul Train Music Awards in L.A. While the Las Vegas PD has said it never…

Now a source tells Star that the adventure hit a rocky patch — and the series may never be released. At the end of a day of shooting, spills the insider, Zayn and Louis, 33, “went to a bar, and they got into a majorly heated argument that ended up turning physical. It was so serious of a bust-up that Louis ended up with a concussion!” The “Lemonade” singer is now trying to get his hands on any footage of the incident, while Netflix has shelved…

IT wasn’t Travis Kelce’s finest moment: During the fourth quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs football game against the Houston Texans on Dec. 7, the tight end bobbled the ball, allowing the Texans to ultimately win the pivotal match-up at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. Shortly after the loss — which seriously lowered the Chiefs’ chances of making the NFL playoffs — a despondent Travis sat on a bench on the sidelines and stared into space before closing his eyes and hanging his head in dismay. Back in the locker room, the usually chatty three-time Super Bowl winner declined all post-game interview requests. It’s no secret it’s been a disappointing season for Travis, who previously vowed to make what could be his final football stint one to remember. Now, his odds…
