What kind of tree does a 21-year-old who’s on track to becoming the world’s youngest ever self-made billionaire get? A golden one of course! But not everyone is loving Kylie Jenner’s bold choice. “Tacky, and so is the Christmas tree,” cracked one, while another accused the makeup mogul of “showing off her obscene wealth,” adding the display is “soulless, spiritless, commercial, gaudy and tacky.” A few, however, were dazzled. As one said, “I’d love to look out of my window at night and see that lovely golden tree… magical.” 85% say gaudy…

How serious are Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons? “Very,” says a source close to the couple. “They’ve already met each other’s parents, which is a huge step. Kendall bonded with Ben’s mom, Julie, at the recent Philadelphia 76ers vs. Washington Wizards game, and Ben has met Kris Jenner a number of times.” The basketball star, 22, isn’t into writing love letters, though. Many assumed he was behind the handwritten note from a mystery suitor that Kendall, 23, put on her Instagram story on Dec. 10, but it turns out Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, two fashion photographers who frequently shoot the model and her famous family, were the authors!…

Talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve! For his daughter’s 33rd birthday on Nov. 30, Chrissy Teigen’s father, Ron, got a tattoo of her on his arm. “MY DAD GOT A TATTOO OF ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY,” Chrissy shared on Instagram under the photo, crediting the “incredible” artist, Mark Mahoney, and adding a series of heart emojis. Chrissy’s pal Kim Kardashian was shocked, commenting “OMG,” while Mindy Kaling wrote, “Literally cannot believe.” Even former Today host Katie Couric, wrote: “Oh. My. God.” If Chrissy’s husband, John Legend, ever tries to top this, we can only imagine where he’ll put her face……

Joanna — who started getting into the spirit of the season way back in October by burning one of her Twelve Nights candles from her Magnolia collection — shared her holiday plans on her blog. “It’s a tradition for us to decorate two trees every year, each with its own personality,” wrote Joanna, adding that the 13-foot pine in the dining room is decorated with a “simplistic approach.” The second tree normally goes in the den, but that has become 6-month-old baby Crew’s nursery. “The only place where there was an open spot was the master bedroom [above],” she writes. “There’s nothing quite like falling asleep to a lit Christmas tree.”…

She wasn’t a fan of his last girlfriend (22 year old Playboy model Shauna Sexton), so now Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, both 46, are even — because he doesn’t like her new boyfriend, Cali Burger CEO John Miller! “Ben is used to his ex wife dropping everything for him, but that’s all changed and he’s no longer at the top of her list of priorities,” an insider tells In Touch. The Gone Girl actor is also a tad jealous. “He winces whenever Jen brings up John’s name. He can’t help finding faults with him, even though John’s the nicest guy and hasn’t done anything wrong.” Ben may ease up on John, 40, in time, but Jen has had enough of his childish behavior, adds the insider: “After years of…

HO, HO…BOW! Everything, Everything star Amandla went overboard on the feminine flair with, count ’em: one, two, three, four bows stacked onto her LBD. Emma’s red velvet bow belt is preferred because it stands out but doesn’t overdo the kitsch. SWEATER WEATHER Kristen’s oversize knit is too voluminous, resulting in unflattering extra bulk. Streamline the style with a more tailored fit — and add a waist-cinching belt to help define curves. Bella nailed it! PLAYFUL PLAID The duchess showcases a simple style with a tartan midi, slouchy suede boots and a neat cardi: a classic cocktail worth copying! Olivia’s multicolored kilt, half-untucked sweater and combat boots just look sloppy. SEQUINS An all-eyes-on-me sparkling minidress looks like it’s trying way too hard when you throw…

Aquaman FRI. 12/21, PG-13 Aquaman (Jason Momoa) must stop his  half-brother, Orm (Patrick Wilson), from uniting the seven underwater kingdoms of Atlantis against the surface world in this amphibious adventure.

I hung out with… lots of family and friends over for Hanukkah. I listened to…a Hanukkah playlist. I felt a little sad that there are so many epic Christmas songs and our best is Adam Sandler’s “Chanukah Song” — which, although hilarious, isn’t really dinner music. I kissed…everyone in my house! Which was like 25 people! I’m a very emotional and sentimental person, and I basically cry happy tears at every event. I called… [my husband] Terry, because he was late! I read…the recipe for my latkes. I make them every year, but I get nervous because I’m not a natural cook, so I always refer to it! I played…dreidel! I wore…black Frame denim, a black Rag & Bone top, black Chanel ballet flats and a Gucci comb that spells…

This is not a drill: Nearly 15 years after it went off the air, Friends may actually be coming back. “Netflix, which has been working closely with Jennifer Aniston on her film Dumplin’ , is getting closer to making it happen than anyone ever has,” a source tells In Touch . Jen, 49, has long claimed she’d be willing. “The girls always say we would love to, and the boys are a little less excited about it for some reason,” she told James Corden on Dec. 6. But it turns out she’s the one who can’t commit! “They’re making the cast offers that they can’t refuse, and Jen has been the only holdout,” says the source.…

Move over, Meghan: There might be another American in the family! Ann Ukrainetz, who lives in Escondido, Calif., claims she found old love letters that indicate she’s the product of her English actress mother’s affair with Princess Diana’s grandfather, Maurice Burke Roche. Ann, 75, reached out to her royal grandnephews, Princes William and Harry, in 2008, but got a letter back saying they “regret they are unable to become personally involved.” Now, she says, the family has left her “no option” but to have his twin brother’s body exhumed to prove her blood relation! “It’s almost like a theft of birthright,” says Ann. “I do believe if Princess Diana were alive today, and she knew this, she’d be knocking on my door.” And we thought Meghan’s dad, Thomas, was their…

Wax figures are bizarre enough on their own — but what if they came alive?! That was the horror facing shoppers at a Berlin Christmas market when the city’s Madame Tussauds Museum unleashed a pair of actors wearing silicon masks to impersonate Prince Harry, 34, and Meghan Markle, 37. A museum rep introduced the “Duke and Duchess of Sussex” — dressed in ugly Christmas sweaters, of course — in a Facebook video, noting, “Aren’t they cute?” That’s not the word anyone else used. “I find this so incredibly creepy on so many levels,” wrote one Twitter user, while another said, “These are going to haunt me in my sleep.”…

Gary Howard Oliva is not the type of guy you’d want living next door — or anywhere close by, for that matter. Unkempt with stringy hair and possessing a vacant look in his eyes, the drifter and drug user has had several run-ins with the law through the years. The 54-year-old registered sex offender has spent time in prison for the assault of a 7-year-old child in Oregon and once even tried to strangle his own mother with a telephone cord. And in 2016, he was sentenced to 10 years behind bars for uploading child pornography on the internet. Even Oliva refers to himself as a “deranged pervert.” He could be a killer, too. Many believe he is responsible for one of the most disturbing unsolved cases of the last…

Queen Elizabeth II is a woman dedicated to tradition, especially when it comes to celebrating Christmas. For each of the past 30 years, the United Kingdom’s longest-reigning monarch has celebrated at Sandringham, her sprawling country estate in rural Norfolk. She always enjoys Christmas Mass at St. Mary Magdelene and later delivers a televised address to the public. And when she sits down for an afternoon dinner (usually turkey and traditional sides) she’s surrounded by family. No plus-ones allowed. Not even for her favorite granddaughter-in-law, apparently. Though Her Royal Highness, 92, made the rare exception to allow Meghan Markle to celebrate with the House of Windsor last Dec. 25 when she was just Prince Harry’s fiancée, the queen is through bending the rules — and Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, 62, won’t…

An ex of Dax Shepard is kissing and telling! On Dec. 14, photos of the actor allegedly from 2009 — when he was already two years into his relationship with now-wife Kristen Bell — surfaced of him making out with former model Kayti Edwards in a photo booth at a party. Later that night, “We had sex twice and he stayed until the next morning,” says Kayti, who’s the granddaughter of screen legend Julie Andrews. “I didn’t know he had a girlfriend at the time; he didn’t seem to care.” Kayti, 41, and Dax, 43, first met in 2005 through mutual friends. “We would hook up here and there,” until the romance fizzled, she says. When they ran into each other at the party four years later, “There was a…

Kourtney and Scott, take 12? Looks that way, since the exes have been spending a lot of time together lately. “They have everyone scratching their heads because they seem closer than ever,” a source tells In Touch. “He spends more time with Kourtney than he does with his girlfriend [Sofia Richie]!” Kourtney, 39, is certainly available after splitting with 25-year-old model Younes Bendjima this summer. “While she plays coy, her friends say she would love to be back with Scott, as long as it’s this new mature version, not the old boozing, drugging, obnoxious Scott.” Kourtney recently shared a photo on Instagram of her lying on a bed in a sexy black dress and sunglasses while Scott, 35, played with their daughter, Penelope, 6, near the headboard. They were spotted…

Alex Rodriguez felt like a third wheel when he recently watched girlfriend Jennifer Lopez’s new rom com with This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia, Second Act. “Alex kind of lost it, especially when he saw her sex scenes with Milo,” a source says of the former Yankees slugger, 43. The shower scene with Jennifer, 49, and Milo, 41, “really made him squirm.” “What made it worse,” adds the source, “is that he knew J. Lo specifically wanted Milo, and only Milo, for this role.” WE PAY FOR CELEBRITY TIPS! Email or text to tips@intouchweekly.com…

WHAT EMOJI DO YOU USE THE MOST? The one with the wink and the tongue out — the silly-looking one! WHO’S MADE YOU MOST STARSTRUCK? Christopher Reeve, Superman. Huge fan. He and his wife and son came to one of our concerts, and I just stood there and I didn’t say a damn word. It was surreal. LAST TEXT WITH A FAMOUS PERSON? Greg Grunberg, who has a band called Band From TV. It’s a bunch of actors and singers who play in a band together for charity. He said, “Hey, you want to come out and do one of these gigs?” And I couldn’t do it. WHAT’S YOUR GO-TO KARAOKE SONG? “Jessie’s Girl.” MOST EMBARRASSING SONG IN YOUR ITUNES LIBRARY? I don’t know if it’s embarrassing, I just think…

The Gist: In this candid memoir, the America’s Got Talent judge opens up about the Spice Girls, drug use, domestic violence, divorce and survival. Notable Quotable: After ex Eddie Murphy publicly questioned his paternity of their daughter Angel: “It was completely out of character for him to talk about his private life, and it was even more out of character for him to say something so damning and nasty about someone he loved. The question ‘Why?’ has haunted me for more than a decade.”…
