Star Magazine|December 28, 2020Taylor Swift:SECRETLY MARRIED?DID she already say “I do”? Fans jumped to conclusions when Taylor Swift — known to drop hints about her personal life in her music videos — posted a teaser shot for her new clip for “Willow” Dec. 10. “Tonight the story continues,” she wrote alongside a photograph of herself in a lacy dress and floral headpiece, looking very much like a blushing bride.The response was immediate. “Isn’t it a wedding dress????” posted one fan, while another shared a theory that the 30-year-old and her boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn, 29, had secretly tied the knot. “People, I think she got married. This is def a wedding dress and the album is called #evermorealbum,” reasoned the fan.They aren’t wrong. A source tells Star that the couple of four years have been…1 min
Star Magazine|December 28, 2020OLIVIA JADE’S BOTCHED APOLOGYSorry, not sorry? On Dec. 8, Olivia Jade Giannulli sat down on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk to address her part in the $500,000 bribe that ensured her entrance to USC — and sent her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli to prison. “I just want to apologize for contributing to … social inequalities, even though, maybe, I didn’t realize it at the time,” said the 21-year-old, claiming that she had a new awareness of the privilege that allowed her parents to buy her way into college. “I didn’t see the wrong in it,” she continued, adding, “That’s embarrassing to admit.” Reactions were harsh, with a typical commenter calling the YouTuber “smug,” while another blasted her for trying to appear “woke.” A source tells Star that’s not far from…1 min

Star Magazine|December 28, 2020JUDD TROLLS KIM!The reality star was blasted in late October when Kim revealed she’d flown 30 of her closest friends and family members to a private resort in French Polynesia to celebrate her 40th birthday. Critics called the flashy and decadent trip — which was thoroughly documented on social media, of course — tone deaf in the midst of the devastating Covid-19 pandemic. Just when she thought the brouhaha had died down, she got smacked again. On Dec. 8, This Is 40 director Judd Apatow shared a series of sexy bikini pics from the birthday getaway which Kim had captioned “This is 40.” He snarked, “I don’t remember this part of the movie,” referencing the 2012 comedy starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. His followers kept the troll going. Cracked one, “What…1 min
Star Magazine|December 28, 2020Gone TOO SOONNAYA RIVERAJust 33 when tragedy struck, Naya Rivera perished in a freak accident. On July 13, the Glee alum rented a motorboat for a day at Lake Piru in L.A. with her son Josey. The 4-year-old was later discovered sleeping on the boat alone, with Naya presumed missing. (Heartbreakingly, the tot told authorities he watched his mother disappear into the water.) Naya’s body was retrieved from the lake — known for its dangerous currents — six days later. Following her passing, the creators of Glee started a college fund for Josey (dad is Naya’s exhusband Ryan Dorsey), who the former child star once gushed was her “whole world.”REGIS PHILBINOne month before turning 89, Regis Philbin passed away from natural causes on July 24, leaving behind Joy — his wife of…3 min

Star Magazine|December 28, 2020MARTHA’S HOT NEW LOOK!Woke up this way? Unlike most of us, Martha Stewart has been flourishing during lockdown. In May the domestic doyenne revealed that she’d been isolating with staff at her lavish estate in Bedford, N.Y., sipping margaritas and eating fresh produce from her garden. Now a new photo shows the 79-year-old looking beyond refreshed, leaving some wondering whether she’s doing more than nibbling her new CBD gummies to look so good.“Martha’s face looks so different, she’s almost unrecognizable,” an insider tells Star. “Maybe it’s FaceTune or a filter — or perhaps it’s more?”Years ago, the former model shared that she’d used Botox and Juvaderm to smooth her face, but swore, “I haven’t had facial surgery.” Instead she recommended a scrub made from sea salt, grated lemon peel and sesame seed oil.…1 min

Star Magazine|December 28, 2020CHRISTMAS IS CANCELED!For the past 40 years, Kris Jenner’s extravagant holiday party has been the place to see and be seen. But the matriarch was forced to call this year’s festivities off — in part because of all the backlash the family has received for their businessas-usaul activities, including Kim’s 40th bash and Kendall’s big Halloween get-together in L.A. “The Covid cases are getting out of control,” Khloé wrote on Twitter when revealing the soirée was sidelined. “It’s the first time we won’t be having a Christmas Eve party since 1978, I believe. Health and safety first though! Taking this pandemic seriously is a must.” (Too little too late for some, who scoffed that the pandemic hadn’t stopped those earlier fetes.) An insider says the family will celebrate via Zoom instead, adding…1 min

But unbeknownst to others, catering assistant Adamo Canto was spending his spare time breaking royal privacy rules by making and posting videos of the palace… and stealing dozens of the Queen’s personal keepsakes. On Nov. 30, Adamo, 37, pleaded guilty to swiping more than $200,000 in royal photos, medals and artifacts, which he attempted to sell on eBay for a fraction of their worth. “Adamo Canto’s arrest has left the royals shaken up,” an insider tells Star. “The Queen can’t believe what he did. It’s the ultimate betrayal, and she feels violated.”But it wasn’t the loss of the items them-selves that upset the 94-year-old monarch. It was the…3 min
