Sex and the City Feud:

MR. BIG TAKES A SIDE! Mr. Big is standing by his woman! Though he’s previously managed to stay out of the messy longtime feud between his Sex and the City co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall — he once simply rolled up his car window after being asked about it by a reporter! — Chris Noth has finally taken a side. The actor, 67, acknowledges that he “liked” Kim, thought she was “marvelous” on the show and doesn’t know why she chose not to return for the HBO Max reboot 6 IN TOUCH D EC E M BER 27, 202 1

And Just Like That… (“I have to tell you, I have absolutely no idea what her thinking is, or her emotions”), but he takes issue with Kim, 65, publicly slamming SJP, 56. (Kim called her “cruel” and suggested they were never friends.) “Those descriptions of [Sarah] don’t even come close,” says Chris. “I feel very protective of her, and I was not happy about that. I just wish that whole thing had never happened because it was sad and uncomfortable. That’s all I’ll say about that.”

Prince William:

‘I FOLLOWED TAYLOR L I K E A P U P PY ! ’

Everyone is enchanted by Taylor Swift — even the future king of England! Prince William recently revealed that in his wildest dreams, he never imagined he’d end up singing “Livin’ on a Prayer” on stage with Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor, 32, at a 2013 charity event.

“To this day, I still do not know what came over me,” William, 39, admits of what she made him do. “Honestly, I don’t understand why I gave in, and even now I’m cringing at what happened next. But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm and says, ‘Come with me and sing…,’ I got up like a puppy and went, ‘Yeah, OK, that seems like a great idea. I’ll follow you.’ I walked up on stage in a trance!”

In the Know Josh Finally

Pays For His S s G

uilty as charged! On Dec. 9, a jury convicted Josh Duggar of two charges of knowingly receiving and possessing child pornography. The former reality star — who In Touch revealed in 2015 had molested five underage girls when he was a teenager (four of the victims were his sisters) — faces up to 20 years in prison. “A child predator has been brought to justice,” says Homeland Security’s agent-in-charge, Billy Riggins. Clay Fowlkes, the acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, adds, “First and foremost, this shows that no person is above the law.”

Many in Josh’s family — including some of the sisters he’d molested — have stood by him through everything, but that seemed to change after the verdict was handed down, says a source. “There’s not much they can do for him now, and the facts that were presented at trial are horrific.” Derick Dillard, 32, who’s married to Josh’s sister Jill, 30, says they were “praying for justice.”

But Josh’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, refuse to condemn their son, saying, “We will never stop praying for Joshua, and loving him, as we do all of our children.”

Since sex offenders are often targeted for death in prison, Josh is currently being held in solitary confinement at Washington County Correctional Facility (right) as he awaits sentencing.

The Truth About the Rumors ROMANCE BUZZ REIGNITES AFTER SCOTT DISICK COMFORTS KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN FOLLOWING HER LATEST HEARTBREAK 28 IN TOUCH D EC EM BER 27, 202 1

hloé Kardashian’s world was shattered once again in early December after she learned her onoff beau, Tristan Thompson, not only cheated on her again but allegedly got the woman pregnant.

There was one person waiting right there to help the Good American founder pick up the pieces, though: Scott Disick. Khloé’s sister’s ex sent her a stunning bouquet of pastel roses.

“I love you @letthelordbewithyou thank you,” Khloé captioned an Instagram photo of the arrangement, clearly bowled over by her longtime ally’s sweet gesture.

But things go deeper than that, multiple sources tell In Touch. Khloé, 37, and Scott, 38, “have always been close — very close,” says the source, noting that at one time the pair were even rumored to be hooking up. “This was more than a friend reaching out to a friend. Scott and Khloé have this very special, powerful bond, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they emerged as a fullblown couple in the wake of Tristan’s latest betrayal.”

KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR A hot romance may be just what Khloé needs right about now. “Despite everything Tristan has done, Khloé always seems to take him back,” says the source. “So she needs a big distraction.

And it’s not going to come from someone new. She has history with Scott. If anyone can sweep her off her feet right now, it’s him. And maybe he’s already doing it — she absolutely loved the flowers he sent her.”

TELLS ALL!

Katie says Ben “felt very

LOOKING BACK Ben seemed “very

WHILE DATING BEN AFFLECK IN 2019, KATIE CHERRY HEARD ALL HIS MOST INTIMATE SECRETS ABOUT THE OTHER WOMEN IN HIS LIFE — INCLUDING JENNIFER LOPEZ

I

t was one of the darkest mo­ ments of his life. On Hallow­ een 2019, just two months af­ ter celebrating a year of sobriety, Ben Affleck publicly fell off the wagon, stumbling in front of the cameras on an LA street before hitting a casi­ no. “It happens,” he admitted the next day. “Just slipped.”

And now, the woman who was at his side that night is speaking out to In Touch. “He was serious about being sober. I think he was just excited about being at a par­ ty, and had a drink. I even asked him, ‘Are you sure?’” says musi­ cian Katie Cherry, who connect­ ed with Ben on Raya that June and spent four months Face­ Timing with him before meeting him in person. “After the slip, the first thing he said was, ‘I’ve got to make sure my kids are OK.’ I can guarantee Jen [Garner, his ex­ wife] was angry. I heard about it from him.”

he liked her because she was a “normal” woman. “I usually don’t date industry people, be­ cause they’re so full of them­ selves and so Hollywood, but Ben is the complete opposite.

He’s such a homebody. His fa­ vorite thing to do is sit at home, have his chef cook something and watch really good movies.”

Things moved quickly be­ tween them. “He wanted some­ thing serious,” she says. “He didn’t talk about marriage, but he did say, ‘I love you,’ really, really fast and asked me to move in with him!” She de­ clined. “I didn’t really see a fu­ ture with him.”

Katie — whose romance with Ben “fizzled” before he began dating his Deep Water co­star Ana de Armas in 2020 — isn’t surprised he reunited with J. Lo. “They’re at the same points in their lives,” she says.

“He and J. Lo both have kids.

Ben is very family­oriented. He’s looking for something deep, and he obviously feels very connect­ ed to her. They seem like a really great match.” ◼

Jen Calls Constantly!

There’s no longer anything romantic between them, says Katie, but Ben is still close with ex-wife Jen, and even spent a few nights at her home after his 2019 relapse. “They love their kids and do their best to keep a good relationship.

Ben said he was lucky to have her” as mom to Violet, 16, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9. And while Jen “did call him quite a bit,” adds Katie, “she seems gracious, level-headed and like she does really care about him.”
