Antoni Porowski is whipping up something new for 2021.

On Tuesday, the “Queer Eye” star, 36, announced the forthcoming release of his new cookbook, “Antoni: Let’s Do Dinner.”

“First off, yes, I do always roll up my sleeves, gazing intently, fork effortlessly dangling from my hand when enjoying a smoked trout niçoise,” Porowski began on Instagram.

“Second, I’ve written a new cookbook w @cooklikeafox [Mindy Fox] and this time it’s all recipes for, you guessed it: Dinner!” he continued.

Porowski, whose “Antoni in the Kitchen” cookbook with Mindy Fox debuted in September 2019, added his new recipes will emphasize the sacredness of home amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“With food and home becoming more sacred than ever this past year, I am offering inspired dishes allowing for more time eating and less preparing,” he continued.

“Antoni: Let’s Do Dinner,” which is being published by HMH Books & Media, will arrive next September.

Rachael Ray — whose upstate New York mansion was ravaged in a fire this summer — got choked up while giving fans a look at the holiday decor at her temporary home.

The celebrity chef — who is staying at the guest house on her Lake Luzerne property that survived the blaze — said she and husband John Cusimano didn’t put up their traditional Christmas trees this year because their family isn’t visiting, “but we absolutely would not let the holidays come and go without some decoration.”

“I’ve got to tell you, I don’t know where I’d be without friends and a community and people so dear to me that helped me bring Christmas to life, even when you’re not at home,” she said in a segment for the “Rachael Ray Show” this week.

Instead of the large twin trees she usually puts up, Ray, 52, strung up garlands around her guest home. She did put up one small tree that resembled one she and Cusimano, 53, planted in Italy at their 2005 wedding, as well as some other “living things because it’s all about renewal” this year.

On the back porch, long strands of lights are meant to mimic falling snow, and paper lanterns look like falling snowballs. The porch is also home to two gigantic llamas that Cusimano gave to Ray “because I love llamas,” she said.

“The partridges and pears and sugar fruits and things, they do make me feel at home and nostalgic and grateful for the family that I have and the life I’ve led,” she said, getting choked up.

The fire started by accident in a chimney, state fire officials previously said.

A fellow privileged person has come forward to defend the so-called “epitome of white privilege,” Olivia Jade.

Jade shared a clip from her Tuesday “Red Table Talk” appearance, in which she talked about the college admissions scandal, on her Instagram, prompting Sofia Richie to praise her in the comments.

“Yes girl!!😍😍 Cant wait for what’s ahead,” 22-year-old Richie, the daughter of famed singer Lionel Richie, commented.

An Instagram user, however, felt that Richie’s comment was “white privilege supporting white privilege.” Taking the high road, Richie defended her friend against the commenter.

“We are all human, who make human mistakes,” Richie wrote back. “Life is too short to wish negativity on anyone. Sending you love.”

During Tuesday’s episode of “Red Table Talk,” co-host Adrienne Banfield-Norris made it clear she didn’t want Jade to appear on the show.

“I fought it to the nail,” she said. “I just found it really ironic that she chose three Black women to reach out to for her redemption story.”

She added, “Her being here is the epitome of white privilege to me.”

Throughout the episode, Jade repeatedly owned up to her and her family’s mistakes, which landed her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, in prison.

“This has been a really eye-opening experience for me … and although there’s a lot of negative around it and there’s a lot of mistakes and wrongdoings, it’s led me to have a completely different outlook on a lot of situations,” she said.

Teddi Mellencamp posted a health update Tuesday about her infant daughter Dove, almost five months after her successful neurosurgery.

“Dove noggin update,” the Instagram post began. “Hi guys, I am 9 months old and other than a zig zag scar underneath my hair across my head I wouldn’t even know I had neurosurgery a few months back.”

In July, Mellencamp — who welcomed daughter Dove in February with husband Edwin Arroyave — revealed that her baby girl would need surgery for Lambdoid Craniosynostosis, or the premature fusion of the bones in an infant skull, per the St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Later that month, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 39, confirmed the procedure had been a success.

On Tuesday, Mellencamp noted how Dove has been in her helmet, “aka doc band for 10 weeks and am about to grow out of it.”

“The doc’s said I have to wear another helmet for 10+ more weeks but it truly doesn’t bother me one bit,” the message read. “Mom cried a little when she found that out but then Dr. Urata reminded her that not only is it helping me shape my head further but it is protecting me as I am starting to learn to crawl and lift myself up incase I bump into something.”

Mellencamp’s post added how Dove gets to take her helmet for an hour a day, “normally during and after bath time which is a good thing bc peeyou it can get stinky.”

“I am a happy silly baby who loves to laugh, command all the attention in a room, go on walks and be sung to. For any other #craniowarrior babies out there. We have got this,” the message concluded.

Mellencamp received of a slew of supportive messages from her famous followers, including former “RHOBH” co-star Lisa Rinna.

“Hi Dove!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️,” Rinna coomented.

“She is just beautiful,” former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gretchen Rossi commented.

2020 has been a difficult year for Mellencamp, who also shares daughter Slate and son Cruz with husband Arroyave.

Over the summer, Mellencamp’s “All In” health program came under fire from critics, and she was axed from the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in September.

Another royal baby is on the way!

Zara Tindall, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, is expecting her third child, husband Mike Tindall confirmed Wednesday.

“It’s been a good week for me, had a little scan last week — third Tindall on its way,” Mike said on the podcast, “The Good, The Bad & The Rugby,” according to The Sun.

Zara, 39, the daughter of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, has two children with husband Mike, daughters Mia Grace, 6, and Lena Elizabeth, 2.

Mike, 42, a former English rugby player, has been married to Zara since 2011.

Zara isn’t the only royal expecting.

In September, Buckingham Palance announced that Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank are expecting their first child together in 2021.

“Jack and I are so excited for early 2021….👶🏻,” mom-to-be Eugenie posted to Instagram at the time.

Eugenie, 30, is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York.

Tayshia needs to make a decision.

This week, the walls closed in on our Bachelorette as she had to prepare for home town dates. Though it’s not quite clear how “The Bachelorette” will handle meeting the men’s families next week with the pandemic, the pressure is on.

At the start of the episode, Tayshia had 11 suitors. Only four will make it to the next round.

On Tuesday’s episode she was forced to go deep with her guys, getting them to reveal the root of their characters. Ben and Riley got particularly vulnerable.

But the pain paid off. Tayshia is falling in love with a few of her men, and they’re falling right back.

(Spoiler alert and content warning: suicidal ideation is discussed in this post.)

Here’s what happened on Week 9.

The talk

For those of you who haven’t been paying attention, Noah is a silly 25-year-old and Bennett is a very serious, Harvard educated investment banker. Despsite being polar opposites, Tayshia is into both of them. They can’t comprehend that, and are taking it out on her and each other.

Tayshia sat them both down for chats to get to the bottom of their issues. Bennett lectured her on what emotional intelligence is and why Noah doesn’t have it. She felt that he questioned her integrity. Noah apologized to her for being at the center of all the house drama, and said Bennett talks down to him.

Tayshia sent Bennett home — a decision she didn’t take lightly. So when she saw Noah smiling like he had won some prize, she couldn’t reward him for his behavior. No rose for Noah, but no SUV either.

The cocktail party

Riley and Tayshia celebrated their one week anniversary with a kiss. Zac C. gifted her a framed picture from their photoshoot last week. She also smooched Ben. Brendan wore another adorable turtleneck. It was a lovely few minutes, until JoJo (yes, JoJo Fletcher is still filling in for Chris Harrison) reminded her it was time to break some hearts.

The rose ceremony

Ten guys stood waiting. Only five roses were on the table. Zac, who had a rose from his one-on-one, was safe. Brendan, Riley, Ben, Blake, Ivan and Noah (I know) received roses, meaning Demar, Spencer and Ed went home.

The one-on-one

Ben Smith and Tayshia scooted around the resort (literally) to find an “oasis” that JoJo set up for them. They jumped into fountains and hit piñatas to discover clues. It was cute.

They had so much fun, but Tayshia could tell Ben was holding back. He told her that being perfect is something that was drilled into him as a child. Last week, he bravely confessed to her that he suffered from an eating disorder. On Tuesday, Ben revealed to his date that he had two suicide attempts in 2018 and 2019, something he had never told anyone before. “I didn’t want to burden anybody with my problems. Luckily they didn’t work,” he said. Tayshia embraced him with open arms. It was another mature, vulnerable discussion, which have come to be a real highlight and welcome addition to this season. Of course, he was given the rose. With a new bond made, they danced together during a private concert.

The group date

Brendan, Ivan, Noah and Riley were put to the test on the group date. A polygraph test. Because nothing says love like intense interrogation. (Note: it probably wasn’t a real polygraph test, because it was hooked up to flashing lights, and I’ve watched enough true crime documentaries to know that’s not how they work.) JoJo asked the questions. She discovered that Brendan may not be ready to go into hometown week. She also uncovered that Zac has cheated on someone before. And that he’s falling in love with Tayshia. Also Riley may not be named Riley.

The questions continued at the cocktail party. Why is Zac a cheater? It’s because he made out with a girl at a bowling alley while dating someone else, in sixth grade. More good news: Tayshia is falling in love with him too.

Off to the side, Riley started to break down, worrying about him meeting her family. The test was right: He was originally named after his father. After struggling with his relationship with his mother, he decided to start over, including getting a name change.

Tayshia was floored with his and everyone’s honestly, and didn’t feel that it was fair to give out a rose just because she had to. They’ll have to wait until the rose ceremony to see who will make it to next week.

Surprise!

Bennett came back to get his girl. He claimed that he wasn’t merely falling in love, like those other amateurs. He was in love. She needed to process his words, and allowed him to stay the night at the resort so she could think.

Prediction

It’s two nights of “The Bachelorette” next week. On Monday and Tuesday, it seems that Tayshia allows Bennett to come back. Everyone breaks down crying. Things are getting real. Also it’s the “Men Tell All” special, which will never match up to a “Real Housewives” Reunion. It wants what Andy Cohen has.

Joe Exotic — the ex-zookeeper convicted of trying to hire a hit man to kill rival Carole Baskin — is hoping Kim Kardashian can get him out of jail, a report said Tuesday.

Exotic, whose story was made famous in the Netflix show “Tiger King,” penned a letter to Kardashian, asking if she could help score him a pardon from President Trump, ET reported.

“I know you have never met me and may never want to however I do believe that you hold the values of our justice system dear to your heart,” reads the note, dated Nov. 4.

“Please help me by just taking 10 minutes out of your life and placing a call to President Trump to look at my 257 page pardon,” he wrote, according to ET.

“It’s all the evidence I’m innocent and ask him to sign my pardon so I can return home to [my husband] Dillon [Passage] and my father.”

Kardashian successfully lobbied President Trump in 2018 to grant clemency to Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who was serving a life sentence without parole for drug offenses.

Since then, the reality-TV icon has continued to advocate for criminal justice reform, and met with an Oklahoma death row inmate just last month.

Joe Exotic — whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage — urged Kardashian to call him.

“No one even has to know you did it,” he wrote — though the cat’s out of the bag now that the letter was published.

The flamboyant felon, 53, is a year into his 22-year sentence in the failed murder-for-hire plot against Baskin, who runs a big-cat zoo in Florida.

His reps have been campaigning for a pardon as Trump’s time in office comes to a close — even reportedly spending $10,000 at the president’s hotel in Washington, DC.

Exotic became a star from behind bars following the hugely successful Netflix series “Tiger King,” which aired at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US.

Kardashian, 40, appears to be a fan of the show and tweeted about it back in March.

She and her friend Jonathan Cheban dressed up as Baskin and Joe Exotic for Halloween, while Kardashian’s four kids went as tigers. 

It wasn’t immediately clear if Kardashian had received the letter.

Exotic recently penned another letter to Fox 23 in Oklahoma, begging for Gov. Kevin Stitt to rally on his behalf.

“I am not only asking President Trump for an immediate pardon, but I am asking Governor Stitt to place a call to President Trump and ask him to sign my pardon,” he wrote.

In April, Trump said he’d “take a look” at Exotic’s request.

Disgraced pastor Carl Lentz is getting help after being accused of cheating on his wife with “multiple” women.

The former leader of trendy Hillsong church in NYC is seeking treatment at an outpatient facility that specializes in depression, anxiety, and pastoral burnout, a source confirmed to Page Six Tuesday night.

“Carl wants to be better for his family and is dedicated to doing the work. His family is supporting him and hopes their privacy will be respected on this journey,” the source said.

Lentz was booted from Hillsong last month after 10 years shortly before confirming he had been unfaithful to his wife Laura, the mother of his three kids.

As we revealed, Lentz and his wife have been in “intensive” therapy; the source said he is working towards rebuilding her trust.

“He has no ill will towards the church and recognizes that they needed to take some course of action to address his missteps,” they added.

It was revealed that Lentz had been having an affair with Brooklyn designer Ranin Karim.
Hillsong chief Brian Houston was later caught on tape discussing Lentz’s multiple affairs.

After cops raided a party at the Nautilus Hotel, we’re told that authorities are going to make sure there’s no more partying at the Miami hotspot until the lockdown’s over.

The sceney South Beach hotel usually hosts several celeb-stunned parties during Miami’s Art Basel.

And, as we reported, it hosted a packed bash on Sunday, even though the art fair isn’t happening this year because of COVID — only for the bash to be closed down by police, in part because of maskless throngs partying.

In an official report on the event, seen by Page Six, local authorities say they “will continue to monitor the location to make sure it is not operating during the shutdown.”

According to the report, there were around 150 people at the event.

As we reported, the ticketed bash kicked off at 3 p.m., and organizers said there would be temperature checks and that, “Masks [would be] REQUIRED at the door for entry and must be worn at all times during the event.”

But video of the packed event, seen by Page Six, makes it clear that few, if any, partiers wore masks.

It was closed down around 8p.m.

Reps for the hotel didn’t get back to us.

While “Tenet” director Christopher Nolan is steaming that Warner Bros. has chosen to release its full 2021 slate as streaming on HBO Max, “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins is more open to the idea — for now.

“If you had told me a year ago that we would ever go straight to streaming in any way, shape or form, I would have flipped out. Like I’m not for that plan in general” she told SiriusXM’s Jess Cagle. “I’m very pro-theatrical release and I will be that again, as soon as this is over.”

She added, “However, this is such a crazy year… all of us are trying to figure out [our] lives, how to do everything the best we can.” She pointed out that if every movie distributor waited till the end of the pandemic, “then every movie in the world tries to come out at the same time,”

Her sequel, “Wonder Woman 1984,” will stream Dec. 25.

“I just was like, ‘You know what? That’s actually pretty incredible to get to share’ … and in this moment, to just try to reach people however they can see it. I’m so grateful …I make films because of communion with audiences.” She figures, “It’s cool, the timing.” 

The movie will also be in select theaters.

Miffed Nolan told the Associated Press, “You have these great filmmakers who worked with passion and diligence for years on projects that are intended to be feature films with fantastic movie stars. And they’ve all now been told that they’re a loss-leader for a fledgling streaming service.”

His film “Tenet” did not go straight to HBO Max, and will be available “through Roku and Amazon Prime and iTunes and be everywhere all at once for people to enjoy,” he said.

He lentzed him some change.

Tyler Perry dropped nearly $100,00 so disgraced Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz and his family could live in a luxury Los Angeles mansion, the UK’s Sun is reporting.

Perry, 51, covered six months of rent upfront on the 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom Manhattan Beach home — valued at $4 million — where Lentz, 36, and his family moved after unloading their New Jersey home days before he was sacked from the megachurch for infidelity.

The Sun reports that in addition to splashing out on the $16,000 per month rental, Perry has been a shoulder to cry on for Lentz, who’s been “leaning” on Perry since his dramatic fall from grace. Another source told the paper that said the pair have been “consistently” talking with each other.

“Tyler has been friends with Carl and his wife Laura for years and is sticking by them and their kids during this difficult time,” a source said. Indeed, Perry posted a picture of himself on a plane reading Lentz’s “Own the Moment” in 2018 and the pair now share a PR firm in Hollywood power players Sunshine Sachs, who also rep Ryan Seacrest and Meghan Markle.

Hillsong founder Brian Houston publicly cited “moral failures” when Lentz got the boot. Recently leaked audio suggested that Lentz was unfaithful several times — including with Brooklyn designer Ranin Karim, whom he split from in October — and former Hillsong members echoed that accusation on social media, alleging that Lentz’s behavior was known to Hillsong for years.

Lentz — who could still collect a severance package from the church — and Laura, who was also reportedly fired from Hillsong, are in “intense therapy” following the scandal. The two have been spotted out with their kids while in LA, and apparently, nothing will keep Lentz from doffing his shirt, as he’s already also been snapped sans chemise on the beach, talking on the phone and meditating.

Hillsong has hired an independent law firm to investigate its inner workings after Lentz’s tarnishing of the megachurch’s million-dollar brand.

A Bronx-born rapper was arrested after cops found an arsenal of guns and some marijuana during a raid at his New Jersey home, prosecutors said Tuesday.

A Boogie wit da Hoodie — whose real name is Artist Dubose — was hit with weapons and marijuana possession charges, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.

Law enforcement authorities executed a search warrant at the 25-year-old artist’s home in Demarest on Monday.

Officials didn’t say what their investigation was in connection to.

The search turned up four handguns, hollow point bullets and various high-capacity magazines, as well as weed and drug paraphernalia, prosecutors said.

A personal security guard at the home, 33-year-old Quashaun Hagler, was also charged with illegal weapons possession, NorthJersey.com reported.

And A Boogie’s manager, Samblou Camara, was slapped with drug charges after cops searched his home in Bergenfield and found marijuana, prosecutors said.

The arrests came a day after a shooting broke out across the street from a Teaneck nightclub where the rapper was celebrating his 25th birthday.

However, authorities said A Boogie’s arrest was not related to the shooting, which left an 18-year-old man critically injured.

“He is not a suspect, nor did we believe him to be a suspect,” Chief Detective Robert Anzilotti said of the rapper.
