We’re always eager to hear celebrities’ reading recommendations, and when it’s a star like Kelly Ripa, our ears really perk up. While she doesn’t have an official book club like fellow celebs Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon, Ripa has generously been sharing what’s on her shelf on Instagram for the past year — and it’s about time we started paying attention. We rounded up all the books Ripa has raved about on social media this year, and we’re going to start a little book club of our own to work our way through this list....

Over the weekend, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s wedding was stacked with a who’s who of Hollywood and international celebs. Despite the extensive guest list, however, neither Prince William and Kate Middleton, nor Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in attendance, though there was speculation the latter couple might make the trip to Florida for the extravagant affair....

In the ’90s classic Dazed and Confused, Matthew McConaughey’s Wooderson says this about why he loves dating high school girls: “I get older, they stay the same age.” Sadly, this has become an unofficial mantra of many Hollywood stars’ dating lives — and while we’d hoped divorcé Brad Pitt wouldn’t follow his peers in setting his Raya age filter to 29 and under, that hope was ultimately misplaced. Multiple sources have now confirmed that Pitt is dating 27-year-old German model Nicole Poturalski, a long-legged stunner who makes Tiger King jokes on Instagram and was recently spotted hopping on a private jet to Pitt’s chateau in the South of France....

“You’re moving in with your parents?” my friend asked. I laughed, and then cringed, at her incredulous tone. How to explain? We were both 40, long past the days of crashing in our parents’ basements, and my mom and I had gone through a rocky patch when I was a teen. This friend had been on the other end of the phone for decades. She had heard firsthand the long conversations about the unfairness of my mom’s strict house rules, my longing for freedom....

Lunar New Year is upon us — a holiday celebrated by over 1.5 billion people worldwide. For my Chinese American family, our table will be laden with mountains of steaming homemade dumplings and shiny garlicky greens for wealth, a whole fish for abundance, sweet sticky rice cakes for togetherness, and so much more.

It may sound shocking, but though we haven’t even hit Thanksgiving yet, it’s truly never too early to start planning what you want to do with your leftovers. Trying to figure out what to cook with leftover Thanksgiving food is actually one of the funnest culinary challenges of the year to us, but it’s also important, because if you don’t plan ahead, you risk one of the following: someone else eats the leftovers you wanted to use in fun recipes, you forget what leftovers are in the fridge and they go bad before you get to use them, or you find yourself totally exhausted from hosting the big day and end up just eating random slices of turkey straight from the fridge for a few days before tossing everything....

9-year-old Willow definitely has some of the coolest parents in Hollywood, Pink and Carey Hart — And so it seems inevitable their firstborn would grow to become an effortlessly rad little kid.
