CLOUT-crazed Duchess Meghan failed to score an invitation to the prestigious Met Gala, and Prince Harry’s haughty honey is devastated that she and her spouse were iced out of the highprofile party, sources say. “Meghan is still convinced her invite is coming. She refuses to accept it’s not going to happen,” an insider shares. (A rep for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex denies Meghan is bothered by the apparent snub.) The annual gala, which serves as the primary fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, is attended by a who’s who of the fashion, entertainment and sports worlds. This year’s event on May 4 is cochaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Vogue magazine’s global editorial director, Anna Wintour. As The National ENQUIRER previously reported, sources…

THE King of All Media and his pet-loving wife are being sued by a former employee for being kinder to animals than they were to her. Leslie Kuhn claims her job as an executive assistant for shock jock Howard Stern and his wife, Beth, put her in a “hostile working environment” — with the couple breaking their promises to her while trying to silence her from talking about them with an extreme gag order! According to documents seen by The National ENQUIRER, the pair demanded Leslie sign a nondisclosure agreement forbidding her to discuss business affairs, as well as Howard and Beth’s personal affairs. The agreement would ban Leslie from disclosing the Stern family’s “daily activities and personal habits,” even down to their “food preferences, sleeping habits, [and] hobbies.” The suit…

BOMBSHELL revelations — and shocking twists — have kept America captivated during the investigation into Drew Peterson, who was convicted of murdering third wife Kathleen Savio after fourth wife Stacy Peterson vanished, and The National ENQUIRER has been there every step of the way, delivering dramatic scoops about the notorious case. Stacy, 23, went missing in Bolingbrook, Ill., in October 2007 — three years after Kathleen’s lifeless body was discovered in a bathtub. Shortly afterward, Kathleen was exhumed, and the 40-year-old’s cause of death was changed from accidental drowning to homicide. In 2012, ex-Bolingbrook Police Department sergeant Peterson was convicted of her murder and slapped with a 38-year prison sentence. Peterson was named a suspect in Stacy’s disappearance — but her body was never found and he was never charged.…

✚ JOHN LITHGOW disagrees with many of J.K.

TROUBLED Tiger Woods plans to finally exorcise his demons with a no-holds-barred tell-all after beating his reported pillpopping habit in rehab following his DUI arrest in Florida, sources say. “One of Tiger’s biggest issues is that he holds everything in,” an insider spills. “He’s known for being intensely secretive. “His mother is the only person he’s ever really trusted, so her death [in 2025] hit him incredibly hard. It’s a big reason he slid off the rails after that.” As The National ENQUIRER reported, the five-time Masters champ was cuffed after crawling from the wreckage of his flipped Land Rover on Jupiter Island on March 27, and a police report alleges that in the 50-year-old billionaire’s left pants pocket were two hydrocodone pills, opioids typically used for chronic pain. Investigators…

SUCCESSION’S Brian Cox has taken aim at Hollywood’s most recognizable names, blasting A-listers such as Johnny Depp, Quentin Tarantino and Ian McKellen. The snippy Scotsman, 79, calls Johnny “so overblown” and “so overrated” and claims he was relieved to turn down the role of governor in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which went to Jonathan Pryce and would have had him acting alongside Johnny’s Captain Jack Sparrow. During Brian’s career, which has earned him two Laurence Olivier Awards, a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe, he appeared in Marvel’s blockbuster X2. But he says fellow X-Men castmate Ian’s acting is “not to my taste.” Brian didn’t stop there — and calls his 25th Hour costar Edward Norton “a pain in the arse.” He also seemingly mocked Aussie Margot Robbie…
