As he searched for love on the US series of The Bachelor back in 2015, Chris Soules was everywhere, but the reality star hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons last week – after crashing his vehicle into a tractor, killing the driver, then fleeing. The former Bachie was arrested hours later – and now faces a hefty prison sentence. Police have confirmed that Chris was driving his Chevy pick-up truck around 8.20pm on April 24 near his home in rural Iowa when he hit the tractor, causing it to veer into a ditch and resulting in the death of the driver Kenneth Mosher, 66. “I rear-ended a guy on a tractor,” an out-of-breath Chris is heard saying in a recording of the 911 call he made before leaving…

Brooklyn Beckham’s future girlfriends had better be careful, ’cos the teen photographer’s ex Tallia Storm has branded him a bad boyfie! “When we were dating, he’d be cool with me one minute, then with someone else the next,” Tallia, 18, tells Closer magazine of “immature” Brooklyn, also 18. “He messed me around.” Ouch! The pair dated for 18 months before splitting in 2015, but Tallia says she’s not the only former flame who’s bitter about Brooklyn – she reckons Chloe Grace Moretz, 20, “feels the same way”. You know what they say – no bond is stronger than the one between two people who hate the same person. Watch out, buddy!…

We hear Ashton Kutcher has told Scott Eastwood in no uncertain terms to stay the hell away from his wife Mila Kunis – amid reports that hunky Scott is keen to work with her on an upcoming film project! Of course, the pair have long had beef. Back in 2015, Scott, 31, confirmed those rumours that Ashton cheated on first wife Demi Moore – by shagging Scott’s then-girlfriend Sara Leal. Awk! No wonder Ashton, 39, hates the idea of Mila, 33, spending time with Scott... “Ashton would rather not bump into Scott any time soon,” explains a source. “Mila thinks he’s being silly... [but] she gets it.” DREAM MAKEOVER Best daughter ever! Mila pulled off the surprise of a lifetime for her parents, secretly renovating the LA condo they’ve lived…

Stepping out in New York for a romantic dinner date with her husband Eric Johnson on April 19, Jessica Simpson put her killer curves on full display in a floral maxi gown. But there was one curve in particular that caught a fellow diner’s eye – and it seemed very much like a baby bump! “It certainly looked like she might be pregnant,” spills the onlooker. “She also didn’t appear to be drinking...” Jess’s close friends also reckon, er, tum-thing’s up, with one revealing they’re expecting an announcement from Jess and Eric any day now that their daughter Maxwell, who turns five this week, and son Ace, three, will be getting another sibling. “Jess looks exactly like she did during her first two pregnancies... It’s her boobs. They always give…

J-ROD: ‘WE MET OVER A COBB SALAD!’ Two months after going public with their relationship, Jennifer Lopez has spilled the beans on how she and Alex Rodriguez met. The lovebirds were at the same LA restaurant, and after J.Lo, 47, finished her Cobb salad, she suddenly “felt like tapping [Alex] on the shoulder”. She and A-Rod, 41, then arranged a dinner date – although there was no hanky panky. “Mama don’t sleep over on the first date,” she teased. HEATH’S SISTER: ‘THE JOKER DIDN’T KILL HIM’ Kate Ledger has slammed claims her brother Heath’s role as the Joker in The Dark Knight left him depressed in the months leading up to his 2008 death from an accidental overdose at the age of 28. “It was the absolute opposite,” she revealed…

If Tyga is hoping to get over his ex Kylie Jenner, we don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon, given that he’s now dating her clone! The rapper – who split from Kylie last month after dating on and off for over two years – sparked talk he’s moved on with model Jordan Ozuna after the pair were spotted looking cosy during dinner at Serafina Sunset in West Hollywood on April 20. While Instagram star Jordan, 27, is playing down the romance rumours – tweeting, “OMG y’all I’m not dating Tyga… come on,” alongside several laughing emojis – we’re told she’s definitely Tyga’s next target. “He thinks she’s so hot and is working seriously hard to get her to date him,” an insider reveals of the father-of-one, who’s…

We never thought we’d get over Charlotte Crosby and Gaz Beadle’s epic break-up early last year. Sure, it was hard to keep up with their on-off romance for the five years they were Geordie Shore’s fave couple, but they’d been through so much, they seemed destined to be together. Yet there was just no coming back after Gaz cheated on Char following her tragic ectopic pregnancy... And after we meet a newly loved-up Charlotte, 26, in Sydney – where she introduces us to her new man, Brit reality star Stephen Bear – we’re thinking that Gaz was just practice for The One... “I can’t believe that he is all mine,” she tells NW of Bear, 27. “I get to go to bed with this boy every night, and I’m the…

Doily dramz Dressed in J’Aton Couture – of course! – footy WAG and TV presenter Bec Judd goes OTT with the lace. A structural masterpiece or the love child of a doily and a curtain? You decide! Wedding belle? She’s always pushed the fashion envelope, but in this Toni Maticevski gown, Jess Mauboy looks like she’s dressed to grace the top of a multi-tiered cake rather than the red carpet! Ruffled feathers So. Much. Black! Let’s just hope The Project’s Gorgi Coghlan didn’t have to use the bathroom while she was strapped into this figure-swamping Con Ilio number.…

Well, some of the world’s most beautiful people are doing just that, by loading up on healthy hero ingredients. What’s more, if wholefoods aren’t your thing, they also come in supplement form...

INSTA GOALZ She’s yet to reach a million followers, but Goldie’s posts are the stuff LOLs are made of. From a snap of her downing a green smoothie straight from the jug to one of her passed out over a plate of chocolate cake, she mocks the younger generation’s Instagram habits mercilessly! FAMILY GOALZ The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in this clan! Goldie’s kids Oliver and Kate Hudson, and Wyatt – her son with partner Kurt Russell – have all forged their own acting careers.

This is not a drill, people! We lost it last week when we watched the rom-com’s star Julia Roberts sing Say A Little Prayer (the 1997 film’s anthem, duh!) in an Instagram video with pals Penelope Cruz and Kate Winslet. Now buzz is brewing that a sequel could be on the way... “The film’s celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and Julia thinks it’s the perfect time to reunite the gang,” spills an insider. And that includes Cameron Diaz, even though she’s all but retired from the acting biz. “Cameron’s the last one Julia needs to convince,” continues the mole. “She’s telling her it’ll be the perfect movie for her to make a comeback in.” Just say yes already, Cam!…

Being alive in 2017 is a whole new world – where celebs and us plebs can control just about everything via computers, social media, phones and filters. Right, Kimmy K? (see page 22). The NW-ettes even set me up on a date with Gigi Hadid for my birthday, thanks to the powers of Photoshop (below). But sometimes, all the fancy modern advances can render us helpless if we’re forced to do things the old-fashioned way. Last week, my phone was ringing off the hook on deadline night, then I started getting messages from my girlfriend Lucy, saying she really needed help. I began to fear the worst, until a message popped up that read, “How do I get the cork out?” Yep, in this age of screw-cap bottles, she had…

Scream Queens star Abigail Breslin has bravely admitted that she didn’t report being sexually assaulted because she was “in a relationship with my rapist and feared not being believed”. The actress, 21, made the startling revelation after someone commented that “reported rapes are the only rapes that count” on an Insty post she shared about assault statistics. Abby also revealed that the ordeal left her with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, adding, “I also feared that if my case didn’t lead anywhere, he would still find out and hurt me even more.”…

ORLY ADMITS: ‘I’M NOT INVITED TO MIRANDA’S WEDDING’ Despite both insisting they’re still the best of friends following their 2013 divorce, Orlando Bloom won’t be watching babymamma Miranda Kerr, 34, tie the knot with Snapchat billionaire Evan Spiegel, 26. “I haven’t received an invite yet,” he admits. “I’ll just look at the Snapchat feed!” Orly, 40, also opened up about those nude paddleboarding pics from last year, claiming, “My poor son! He’s got a lot to live up to... I broke the internet.” Oh dear! QUEEN BEY RULES THE SCHOOL Beyonce has announced she’s offering four $33,000 university scholarships for US women enrolled in creative arts, music, literature or African-American studies. The singer, 35, wrote on her website that her Formation Scholars program is designed to “encourage and support young…

She’s always marched to the beat of her own drum when it comes to fashion, but Lena Dunham sent jaws to the floor recently when she stepped out in New York looking like a total glamazon! “She looked amazing – like I was looking at a completely different woman,” an onlooker says of Lena, 30, who appeared more stylish than ever as she made her way into the annual Variety Power Of Women luncheon on April 21. And we’re told Lena’s polished new look is all part of a deliberate post-Girls makeover. “It’s been happening ever since she wrapped the final season back in September,” reveals a source. “She wants to distance herself from [her Girls character] Hannah’s kooky fashion sense and prove she’s more than just this one character.…

Melanie Brown and Stephen Belafonte’s divorce is shaping up to be the mother of all legal spats, with Stephen’s ex mistress, the couple’s former nanny Lorraine Gilles, now suing the singer for defamation! Last month, Mel B, 41, alleged that Stephen forced her into group sex with Lorraine during their 10-year marriage. But Lorraine has since filed shocking court documents of her own, claiming it was the former Spice Girl who pursued the sexual relationship for seven years – and that Stephen, 41, rarely joined in! Lorraine, 26, who stopped working for the couple last September, also denies Mel’s claims that Stephen got her pregnant in 2014 – resulting in the couple paying for an abortion. Instead, the former nanny says she fell pregnant after a “one-night stand” and Mel…

‘IT’S THE SWEETEST REVENGE FOR JEN’ Brad Pitt’s back – and in a big way. It’s been a tough eight months for the actor, thanks to his very public divorce from Angelina Jolie, their ensuing custody battle and recent reports that he’s dropped to a tiny 65 kilos because he’s too stressed to eat. But the future is finally looking brighter for the father-of-six, following news he’s starting work on his next movie, the sci-fi flick Ad Astra. And his leading lady? None other than his first wife Jennifer Aniston! Er, excuse us? While the flick is still in the early stages of preproduction, we hear Brad’s in discussions with writer and director James Gray over who will star opposite him – and Jen is at the top of both…

Let’s face it, everyone puts a filter on their photos these days – a touch of Juno here, a little Lark there... However, in Hollywood – the land of babes and billboards – the retouching goes one step further, with stars like Kim Kardashian photoshopping themselves to perfection while boasting that their smoother-than-smooth bods are all natural. But given that, in reality, these celebs have lumps and bumps just like us, is the altering of images doing their fans a disservice? It certainly is, says Miami-based psychologist Sarah Ravin, who believes stars who heavily edit their social-media snaps are inadvertently placing unrealistic expectations on the girls who look up to them. “Photoshop has made society believe that it is normal to be flawless and to have perfect proportions, and that’s…

K-Stew’s so black and white! The couple that rocks monochrome together, stays together! During a break from filming her new flick Underwater, Kristen Stewart and girlfriend Stella Maxwell head out for a stroll near the New Orleans set after what appears to be some careful hers ’n’ hers outfit planning. But while K-Stew keeps it strictly street, pairing a cropped tee with ripped skinny jeans, her Victoria’s Secret Angel ladylove can’t resist adding a lingerie bodysuit to her sporty ensemble. Have you ever seen a cooler couple of cucumbers? Em causes panda-monium! Speaking of celebs jumping on the black-and-white bandwagon, Emily Ratajkowski leaves onlookers, er, bamboo-zled as she dons a giant panda mask for a DKNY campaign shoot in New York. Strangely, it’s not even Em’s first panda-themed shoot –…

One minute she’s down with the burqa, the next, Lindsay Lohan’s stripping down altogether! Yep, the flame-haired star slipped into something a little more, er, comfortable for her fluffy cover shoot for US magazine ODDA’s 5th anniversary – her first glossy fashion spread in what feels like forever. But as cosy as LiLo looks, the flesh-flashing, fairy-floss two-piece is in stark contrast to the burkini she covered up in while vacaying in Thailand last month. At the time, Lindsay – who’s flirted with the idea of converting to Islam – also hinted that she was releasing a new fashion line that’s all about modesty. But judging by this sexy shoot, she sure ain’t planning on practising what she’s preaching! NOUGHTIES NOSTALGIA Linds posed in front of a screen displaying the…

Prince William wants to get down and dirty with his subjects. Yep, the royal rocker revealed last week that he’s itching to brave the mud at the Glastonbury festival in June with wifey Kate Middleton – and thousands of commoners! There’s just one thing stopping him – those daggy dad moves he showed off while partying with Aussie model Sophie Taylor in Switzerland in March. “I’ve got into enough trouble for my dancing recently,” he admits. “So it’s probably best to keep away.” Dude, have you seen our moves?!…

Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s romance may have hit the skids but their pooches’ relationship is in full, er, bloom – yep, the former couple’s maltipoos Cheeto and Nugget just can’t quit each other! “They figure, ‘Why should the pets suffer just because they’ve broken up?’” reveals a source, adding that Katy and Orly have been meeting up for secret puppy play dates. But Cheeto may want to keep an eye on Nugget, given Katy has revealed that her pup “is open to advances” from Instaceleb multipoo Little Freddie Tinkles. Wouldn’t want Nugget to be the one that got away – right, Cheeto?…

He’s made every attempt to clean up his act in recent months – from checking into rehab in March for help with his long-running booze battle, to hiring a sober coach to keep him on track. But Ben Affleck could soon be lured back to his bad-boy ways – by his alleged former mistress! Yep, Christine Ouzounian – the nanny Ben, 44, is said to have had an affair with before his 10-year marriage to Jennifer Garner, 45, broke down in 2015 – is reportedly texting him in the hopes of wooing him back. Despite Christine, 30, being engaged to fiancé Christoph Albury, an insider tells US Star mag that she’s “hell-bent on rekindling their romance”, adding, “[She’s] going to places where Ben hangs out in hopes of running into…

ZAYN & GIGI’S CUTENESS OVERLOAD Smitten kittens Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid were all about parading their PDA on Instagram for her 22nd birthday on April 23. “Happy birthday to my everything,” Zayn, 24, captioned a cute black- and-white pic (bottom right), while Gigi posted an adorbs snap of Zayn nuzzling her as she held her cake (top right). No wonder fans are convinced the loved-up pair are set to drop engagement news, like, yesterday! FERNE’S BABYDADDY BEHIND BARS!

He’s been in and out of rehab for his addiction to alcohol, but Austin Powers star Verne Troyer – aka Mini-Me – is reportedly back in rehab for a very different reason! “He was a sex addict,” reveals the star’s ex-wife, former Playboy model Genevieve Gallen, who claims they used to have sex up to 10 times a day. But Genevieve – who was married to Verne from 2004 to 2006 – wasn’t the only one he was getting it on with! In fact, he boasted it was “the best night of my life” after bedding three Playboy Bunnies with a pal in 2005. He also famously made a sex tape with ex-girlfriend Ranae Shrider. “It’s really sad,” says Ranae, 31 – who split from Verne, 48, after the video…

With their natural good looks, Byron Bay mansion and tribe of surfing, yoga-loving mini-mes, Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky are pretty much life goals. But, behind closed doors, tension is said to be brewing for the golden couple. The cause? It seems Elsa’s had enough of being stuck at home playing housewife while Chris, 33, continues killing it in Hollywood. Indeed, the Spanish beauty, 40, recently revealed, “I want... people to know me a little bit more than as Chris’s wife.” And an insider confirms that living in Chris’s shadow has driven a wedge between them. “Elsa is a huge star in Spain, so it’s a bit insulting for her to now be known as just Mrs Chris Hemsworth,” our source says of the stunning actress, who’s appeared in more…

While Brad finally seems to be getting back on track, his nearest and dearest – including pals Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Matt Damon – are still concerned about his wellbeing. So much so, they’ve launched a plan to get the actor out of his funk for good. The first thing on their list? Stopping him from living such an isolated life. Yep, while it was initially reported that he’s been living alone in his Los Feliz home, that’s no longer the case... “Brad’s mum Jane has moved in with him to make sure he’s taking care of himself,” spills a Pitt pal. It also helps that his kids – Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, eight – are visiting him more often.…

BEYONCE Queen Bey, step away from the editing apps! The singer, 35, was twice caught out in 2014 for her digital disasters, with one giving her a too-good-to-be-true thigh gap, while the other left her with a wonky arm – and thigh. #facepalm MIRANDA KERR Who knows why Maz, 34, thought she needed to alter her bangin’ bod, but in 2013, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel reposted a 2012 backstage shot – with a visibly smaller waist to the original! LINDSAY LOHAN LiLo, 30, shocked fans when she posted this 2015 pic of her teeny-tiny tum, which had obviously been airbrushed to the max. “You don’t need to Photoshop yourself!” one fan commented at the time. Oh, LiLo!…

1 IS J-LAW GETTING MARRIED? It looks like Jennifer Lawrence’s next big role might be as a blushing bride, with whispers spreading that she’s set to walk down the aisle with her beau-of-eight-months, director Darren Aronofsky. Indeed, Jen, 26, and Darren, 48 – who are said to have shacked up in November 2016 after meeting earlier in the year when he directed her in their movie Mother! – are planning to elope ASAP. “Jen’s convinced Darren is The One,” reveals a source. “After a few weeks of dating, she was already talking about marrying him.” But unfortunately for the bride-to-be, some pals are raining on her love parade – with reports they can’t stand “snotty” Darren, who apparently has no interest in meeting them. And that includes J-Law’s gal pal…

If anyone can lure Hollywood legend Goldie Hawn out of a 15-year film hiatus, it’s Amy Schumer. The outspoken comedian had her heart set on casting Goldie, 71, in her new film Snatched – about a mother and daughter who get kidnapped while on vacay – and what Amy wants, Amy usually gets! “I kept annoying her,” she says of nabbing Goldie to play her mum.
