YELLOWSTONE cowboy Kevin Costner has a burr under his saddle about ex-wife Christine Baumgartner’s upcoming wedding — and the huffy hunk is telling friends that anyone who attends the nuptials will be dead to him forever, tipsters say. Sources confide that Christine, 51, poured more salt into her 70-year-old ex’s wounds when she chose the Aloha State as the location for her nuptials with financier Josh Connor. “Kevin’s hearing it’s happening soon in Hawaii, which happens to be one of his favorite spots. He shot Waterworld there and had vacationed there with Christine when they were still together and happy — or so he thought,” an insider explains. The blond beauty was caught on camera enjoying a July 2023 getaway with family pal Josh in the tropical locale — just…

ANDY SICCED HOUSEWIVES ON LEAH SMILEY, boyish TV mogul ANDY COHEN is one devious monster, according to former Real Housewives of New York City babe LEAH MCSWEENEY, who claims in a lawsuit the producer-host set an army of his Bravo network hellcats to “attack her” after she claimed he schemed to get her — a reformed boozer — guzzling again to raise ratings. Leah, who also claims Andy snorted coke with some of his favorite star femme fatales, named 20 gals he got to publicly trash her. She notes that LISA VANDERPUMP went on The Talk and spouted, “I’m on [Cohen’s] side!” Orange County Housewife HEATHER DUBROW said the lawsuit “irritated” her and Leah should be “thanking” Bravo because she’s “making money and thriving” due to her show. And New…

A SCRAPPY 13-year-old girl surprised her unwitting assailant in California by fighting off the creep with her expert jiu-jitsu skills, cops say. According to the young gal’s sensei, Michael Blackburn, she was ambushed by an adult male while walking home from school. The lowlife “was standing between two cars, and he stepped out to punch her in the face, and she blocked,” Blackburn explains. The teacher says the tough cookie — whose name is being withheld for her safety as the unidentified suspect is still on the lam — has been studying the Brazilian martial art with him at the Carmel Youth Center for three years and utilized her lessons to defend herself. “She punched him, she wrapped him, got him in a headlock, kneed him a couple of times,…

REBORN Jessica Biel is enjoying a life separate from touring hubby Justin Timberlake as she preps her new TV series while enjoying a packed social life, and insiders say that’s panicking the pop prince — who fears she’s one step away from calling it Bye Bye Bye on their 13-year marriage! Sources say the 43-year-old beauty is loving her moment in the sun and not paying much mind to the former boy bander, whom she married in 2012 and is dad to her sons, Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4. “Jessica’s really come into her own lately,” dishes an insider. “She’s got all these projects on the go — not just as an actor, but she’s producing a lot too, and that takes a ton of her time and attention. “She…

FORMER President Joe Biden’s crack-smoking son Hunter is shaking in his boots after the FBI announced it was reopening the probe into who left a bag of cocaine powder just outside the White House’s West Wing in 2023, Beltway sources squeal. In an ominous warning of possible legal woes for the troubled 55-year-old former first son, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino declared that G-men will be taking a new look at the shocking case that shook Washington over the July 4, 2023, weekend — and left Republicans demanding an investigation. Earlier during the Biden Administration, Secret Service bosses said the cubby where the bag of just under a gram of coke was discovered was accessible to too many people — and cameras had failed to catch the culprit. However, President…

PARTY-HEARTY Drew Carey has been whooping it up in Las Vegas, where he’s wooing an Only-Fans model half his age — but insiders reveal that friends fear the lonely Price Is Right host is mired in a late-life crisis! The 67-year-old funnyman was caught partying and flirting with young babes until 6 a.m. at an electronic music fest in Sin City in May, and an insider spills that “people around him are worried he’s not doing it in a very healthy way. “Staying up until the early morning at a music festival where all kinds of shenanigans are going on is not a good look, especially for someone who quit drinking and overhauled his entire life when his health became jeopardized.” Weeks before, the crew-cut quizmaster was spotted wooing former…

ONE of the sexiest scenes on film is the one where a kittenish MICHELLE PFEIFFER slides around the top of JEFF BRIDGES’ piano in a slinky red dress, singing Makin’ Whoopee, in the 1989 romantic comedy drama The Fabulous Baker Boys. She plays a former escort who pumps life into a dreary brothers lounge act, with BEAU BRIDGES playing opposite real-life bro Jeff. Pfeiffer initially balked at doing the piano scene, which took six hours to film and had her wearing knee and elbow pads during rehearsals; she has said the hardest part was at the end, where she steps down onto the keys without looking at her feet.…

SNAKEBIT singleton Jennifer Aniston is still lamenting the man who got away nearly 30 years ago as the Friends beauty lives with the emotional aftermath of two divorces and multiple failed romances, sources confide. In 1990 — before Aniston became a household name on the NBC hit — she began dating fellow struggling actor Daniel McDonald, who was nine years her senior. “Jen was born in Los Angeles and raised in New York City, but her parents were strict,” a friend says. “And when she moved back to L.A. and met an older man, he was protective and she felt safe. “Jen and Dan dated for almost five years before she landed the role of Rachel Green on Friends. And while Dan was happy for her success, they’d talked about…

RIHANNA’s 70-year-old dad, RONALD FENTY, a native of Barbados, died following a “brief illness” in L.A. Barbados Prime Minister MIA MOTTLEY called him a “son of Barbadian soil” and said, “While he may be known for playing a significant role in shaping the woman our National Hero Rihanna has become, the truth is that his journey here on earth has touched many more lives.” Actress VANESSA KIRBY is showing off her own Mission: Impossible Fallout — her first baby bump at age 37. The beauty, who also plays Invisible Woman Sue Storm in the new Fantastic Four flick, has been canoodling with fiancé and former pro lacrosse hunk PAUL RABIL, 39, since October 2022. The rugged jock previously dated the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare hottie EIZA GONZÁLEZ, 35. Speaking of…

DARING Damson Idris is off to the races in the drama F1 as a young driver who is mentored by Brad Pitt’s veteran speed demon. The big-budget blockbuster is the first major Hollywood flick for the 33-year-old, who got his start on the stages of U.K. theaters. But Damson has already switched gears and is now filming the movie adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s fantasy novel Children of Blood and Bone. Here are 10 things you don’t know about the BET Award–winning star of FX’s Snowfall. 1 He was born in London to a Yoruba Nigerian family. 2 As a young soccer player, he aspired to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo — but admits, “That didn’t work out.” 3 He began studying drama at Brunel University of London after a knee…

HORRID husband Kevin Akins killed his estranged wife and his pregnant mistress before taking his own life in Georgia, lawmen say. According to the Dalton Police Department, Akins, 37, fatally shot his 35-year-old spouse, Rebeca Akins, in the head at her home — then gunned down girlfriend Cindel Rhoden, 33, at her apartment before turning the weapon on himself. Cindel’s family says the single mother of two young girls was five months along in her pregnancy and had recently learned she was expecting a boy, who she intended to name Noah Elliot. Investigators say Kevin and Cindel’s bodies were found by her stepfather, who entered her residence with a key after she failed to answer phone calls and texts. He called 911 to report the grisly discovery of his dead…

BIGMOUTH Rosie O’Donnell is trying to play nice to win back Hollywood, but insiders insist the outspoken funnygal is still seen as the same mean-spirited bully — only with a new act! The former View yakker just showed off her slimmed-down look in a new pic — more than two years after jumping on the Mounjaro bandwagon to melt off flab. “I can’t believe this is me now,” the 63-year-old joker captioned a May 23 social media post. According to a mole, the Flintstones star’s body makeover hasn’t changed her mean girl reputation. “She may look different after losing a ton of weight, but she has a long way to go when it comes to her caustic personality. People can’t forgive her for all the hurt and bitterness she’s caused,”…

COCKY Kris Jenner is celebrating the success of her new surgical face-job, but hey, no one can beat Father Time — even if she has lucked out for the moment. As GLOBE revealed, friends are raving over the job done by “facelift maestro” Dr. Steven M. Levine on the 69-year-old Kardashian momager, who many say now looks as young as 44-year-old daughter Kim. Despite the oodles of compliments she’s getting on her apparently seamless new mug, it also looks a little freaky on a nearly 70-year-old senior. As GLOBE has also reported, Kris and other celebrities who are desperate to stay forever young when they are in their 60s and beyond are also taking a huge risk with procedures that could backfire horribly. Too many beauties have ended up in…

LONGEVITY EDITION: Winning the Nobel Prize adds up to two years of life expectancy. Just don’t work yourself to death trying to win one. Certain groups in the U.S. are living longer — but middle-aged white Americans without college degrees are dying younger than before. If you want to age gracefully, it’s helpful to be the freshwater polyp Hydra vulgaris. Its mortality rate and health stay the same no matter how old they get. The Japanese have the highest life expectancy — but their extremely low birthrates mean they could die out by the year 3876. Healthy eating is great, but the ONE thing that predicts a longer life more than any other factor is daily movement of any type — so get out of that chair right now!…

BRAD PITT was in major flirt mode while filming his new racing movie, F1, after insisting on having dozens of beautiful supermodel-type extras on the set — despite his supposedly serious relationship with Ines de Ramon, a source tells GLOBE. The 61-year-old star, who also produced the film, “really decided to lean into the glamour of the Formula 1 world, and that translated to this movie having perhaps the hottest assembly of female extras in movie history,” an insider says. “It also gave Brad plenty of opportunities to flirt up a storm between takes, even if he was in his racing helmet or behind a mask. “Brad has always been a big flirt; he can’t help himself. And in this case, he was like a kid in a candy store!…

A SPIRING U.S. Air Force cadet Ava Renee Moore died in a jet ski hit-and-run on Grapevine Lake in Texas — and authorities say they’ve arrested the reckless killer who cut short the life of the promising 18-year-old. Lawmen charge that Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez, 22, was piloting the vehicle that struck kayaker Moore and fled the scene with pal Maikel Coello Perozo, 21. Investigators allege that Perozo was behind the wheel of a Toyota Corolla as the pair hightailed it from the area and hit two cars in their mad dash to escape. Joshua Johnson — Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas Field Office director — confirmed the suspects are Venezuelan nationals who entered the country illegally. Moore was killed less than two weeks after graduating from the Air Force Academy…

New low for getting high ✚ MAJOR bummer for cannabis fans — edibles and joints may be as bad for the heart as tobacco, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco found longtime marijuana users showed significantly reduced flow-mediated dilation, a predictor of cardiovascular disease that gauges how well arteries respond to increased blood flow, compared to non-potheads. “Chronic cannabis smoking and THC ingestion were associated with endothelial [blood vessel] dysfunction similar to that observed in tobacco smokers,” the researchers write. Kisses are contagious ✚ YOU can “catch” your partner’s depression just through kissing! A study of newlywed couples in Iran found that swapping spit caused oral bacteria, including some that have been linked to brain disorders, to be shared between partners. When a…

CHICAGO star Renée Zellweger’s romance with reportedly money-strapped boytoy Ant Anstead is in turmoil after the hunky Brit TV host was busted for staying with a younger gal — and insiders say the actress’ friends are begging her to kick him to the curb instead of bailing him out and being a doormat. Sources note that the 56-year-old Bridget Jones’s Diary actress and the decade-younger hunk have been living apart while she films Only Murders in the Building in New York and he’s in England or reportedly shacking up at the Laguna Beach spread of 36-year-old knockout Julia French. “Even though Renée has moved to New York temporarily while she shoots Murders, she’s been making quiet trips back to L.A. to see Ant every chance she gets, so it’s not…

AFTER four former housekeepers accused Motown singing legend Smokey Robinson of sexual assault, the Tears of a Clown tenor is making them cry by clobbering the gals with a $500 million lawsuit for defamation. The workers had filed a $50 million lawsuit against the now 85-year-old Cruisin’ pop icon, branding him a “serial and sick rapist” and charging that in the years between 2007 and 2024 — during times when his longtime wife, Frances, 73, wasn’t around — the Ooo Baby Baby singer would corner them for sex attacks. But Robinson and his wife deny their charges and instead claim they treated the helpers like “extended family members” and showered them with oodles of gifts, including concert tickets, vehicles, cash for emergency dental procedures, and other niceties during their employment…

YOKO ONO’S daughter says she was kidnapped by her biological dad as a child and raised in a cult, and didn’t reconnect with her artist mom for nearly two decades — long after the assassination of her stepdad, former Beatle John Lennon. Now 61, Kyoko Ono says her mother and Lennon — who was murdered by crazed gunman Mark David Chapman in 1980 — had even moved to New York City in hopes of finding her after her disappearance. But Kyoko explains, “I was living on a farm in Iowa.” Filmmaker Andrew Cox, Yoko’s second husband, had run off with 8-year-old Kyoko during the former couple’s contentious custody battle. In 1970 — one year after Yoko married Lennon — Cox and his new wife, Melinda Kendall, moved Kyoko to Spain…
