BUGGING OUT Fans have noticed a few similarities between Lady Gaga’s Chromatica Tour and Bey’s current one, especially these insect-inspired looks. (Others think it’s a hint they’re teaming up on a new song.) BACK TO THE FUTURE Queen Bey, 41, has long been accused of lifting from Kylie Minogue, like this robotic Thierry Mugler number (which was inspired by 1927’s Metropolis). DRAMATIC ENTRANCE When Beyoncé descended onto the stage at the VMAs in a billowing coat, viewers were reminded of Britney Spears’ American Music Awards entrance three years before. (But both performances were jaw-droppingly memorable!)

Kelly’s MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE Kelly Ripa’s unexplained absences from recent episodes of Live With Kelly and Mark have fans wondering if something is wrong with the beloved host. On July 27, Anderson Cooper, 56, subbed for Kelly, 52, days after she’d joked about quitting the TV gig. She also missed a few days a week earlier (new mom Maria Menounos, 45, filled in for her), as well as several episodes in January, when she said a “random bug” sidelined her. This time, neither Anderson nor Kelly’s husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, 52, offered an explanation as to Kelly’s absence. Upon her return, Kelly also did not immediately reveal the reason behind her absences, although she has been heavily promoting her game show, Generation Gap, on social media. “There’s nothing to…

In mid-July, after shutting down production of his Formula One movie, Apex, in Budapest, Hungary, to abide by the actors’ strike, Brad Pitt hopped on a private jet with his girlfriend of a year, Ines de Ramon. Destination? His beloved, 990-acre Château Miraval estate in the south of France. “They’ve been spending a romantic summer together,” says a source, adding that despite his lengthy, nasty battle over the winery with his ex Angelina Jolie, “Miraval really is his happy place.” Even more so now. Seven years after their shocking split, “the divorce is final,” confirms a source. According to court docs, Angelina has also agreed to go to mediation to settle their separate Miraval lawsuit, in which Brad accused her of “vindictively” selling her part of the $164 million business…

But in June, after producing just a single podcast series, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex lost their deal with the streaming giant. More disappointment came in July: Their buzzed-about 2022 Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, failed to score any Emmy nominations. But in the wake of suffering these “crushing blows” to their dreams of building a business empire, says a source, the couple “regrouped.” They’ve had some unexpected good news. In recent weeks, Meghan’s old TV show, Suits, shattered ratings records after the USA Network legal drama — which ended four years ago —…

KRIS FACT: ”I get a lot of people saying I had my nose done. People say, ‘Look at her nose!’ Never had my nose done. I have the same nose I was born with.” — 2015 FACT: ”[I’ve gotten] Botox and fillers and laser [treatments] and things like that. I had a boob job in the ’80s after four kids because gravity took over. I had a breast reduction a couple of years ago. I felt they were too big. So, the same doctor who put them in, he took them out and then had to do a little lift and then put smaller ones in.” — 2015 KHLOÉ FICTION: “I love a good filter, good lighting and an edit here and there.” — April 2021, chalking her ever-changing appearance…
