Snitches say the SexyBack crooner, 44, has made everyone’s lives miserable on his Forget Tomorrow tour, including a dramatic mid-show meltdown, but it’s finally coming to an end on July 30 with the last concert in Istanbul. “Instead of looking forward to welcoming her husband home, Jessica is dreading their reunion,” spills an insider. “Their marriage is in a sensitive, precarious position and Justin shouting and cussing in public didn’t win him any praise from Jessica and shows he hasn’t taken her previous warnings seriously.” According to our mole,…

PANICKED diva Cher is so frantic to salvage her rocky romance with boytoy Alexander “A.E.” Edwards that she treated the gigolo to a five-star trip to Rome at the same time, insiders say, she’s turned her back on druggie son Elijah Blue Allman in his most desperate hour of need. Just a month after her 49-year-old son with her late rocker-hubby, Gregg Allman, was released from the hospital following a reported drug over-dose, the 79-year-old Believe singer was spied in the Italian capital enjoying a PDA-filled din-din with her 40-years-younger boyfriend, and then at the glitzy Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria show. “She was vowing to be by Elijah’s side when he came out of his meltdown, but she wants to be with A.E.,” spills an insider. “Elijah is trying…

The 51-year-old just happily announced that his 32-year-old actress-galpal BIANCA WALLACE, who he conveniently wed in April, is knocked up — showing a very visible baby bump at the July 21 premiere of the new Fantastic Four flick in L.A. At the same time, ex-wife ALICE EVANS, 57, fumes that she and their two daughters are being booted from their $6,500-per-month L.A. shack because his $4,500 monthly support ain’t enough for them to live on.

ANIMATED Pamela Adlon is reprising her Emmy-winning voice role as the now adult Bobby Hill as King of the Hill gets the reboot treatment on Hulu — nearly 15 years after wrapping its original 13-season run on Fox. Now 59, Adlon explained her long tenure voicing Bobby and other young male cartoon characters to NPR in 2012 by saying: “The thing about women playing boys is that we’re not going to age, and we’re not going to go through puberty in the middle of a long-running series.” Here are 10 things you don’t know about Pamela. 1 The New York City native, who was born to an English mom and an American TV producer dad, holds citizenship in the U.S. and the U.K. 2 She was married to writer and…

Sources snitch the daughters of exes Kris, 69, and Caitlyn, 75, were invited to Brody’s Malibu wedding to surfer Tia Blanco on July 12 but had “other priorities.” Kylie, 28, has been enjoying a holiday in Europe this summer while sister Kendall, 29, recently joined her mom and half sisters Kim and Khloé Kardashian at Jeff Bezos’ star-packed nuptials in Venice, Italy. “Kylie and Kendall were invited to Brody’s wedding but made the excuse that they had previous engagements, but that wasn’t true,” spills an insider. “They could easily have attended — they have…

TEEN Mom OG star Bristol Palin — daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin — has come clean about the facial paralysis that snuck up on her “out of the blue,” leaving half of her mug frozen! “I woke up and it was paralyzed completely out of the blue — no warning, wasn’t sick … just paralyzed,” she posted on Instagram Stories to her 549,000 followers. “I feel like I’m handling it well. I can’t look at pictures of myself right now.” Bristol, 34, has said her doctor told her in January that she has Bell’s palsy, a temporary weakness of the facial muscles — and she listed all the treatments she has tried, including acupuncture, massage, oxygen chamber treatment, changing her diet and eliminating caffeine, making the paralysis “probably…

CELEB politicos George Clooney and Larry David are huge fans of Barack Obama, and insiders reveal the former prez humors them as his go-to Hollywood buddies while secretly playing them against one another for his own amusement! But sources snitch the awkward dynamic hasn’t slipped by Clooney and David! “Larry prides himself on his relationship with former President Obama and so does George, but is there really room for both of these guys in Obama’s life? “It’s an unresolved question with a lot at stake as Obama and his team get ready to open his enormous presidential library on the South Side of Chicago next year,” spills an insider.

GRUMBLING Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters bandmates are walking on eggshells after the frontman shockingly sacked drummer Josh Freese, who had stepped in after the tragic 2022 death of the Everlong singer’s close pal Taylor Hawkins, sources say. Grohl, 56, is still deeply shaken by percussionist Hawkins’ drug-induced cardio-vascular collapse at age 50, and the void has left him a power-mad dictator in the group — with few friends among the remaining members, according to tipsters. “Dave continues to be his own worst enemy when it comes to plotting the future of the Foo Fighters — and even when it comes to managing his own already tarnished image,” the insider exclusively tells GLOBE. Sources say Grohl’s aggressive actions hit a fever pitch last year after he was exposed as a two-timing…

BUFF GRAPPLING WITH LOST LEG Pro wrestler BUFF BAGWELL tussled with a lot of rough opponents in the ring from 1991 to 2001, but now at age 55, he’s facing his toughest battle — living with one leg. The former five-time WCW tag team champ had his right limb amputated above the knee due to unhealed injuries from a car crash five years ago. “I’ve known Buff a long time,” posts pal STEVE STASIAK. “I’ve seen him in the spotlight, I’ve seen him behind the scenes, and I’ve seen him fight through things most people never even hear about. This one … this is hard. For him.” His pal adds that Buff, real name MARCUS, “gave it everything he had to avoid this outcome … And now begins a whole new…

EXPENSIVE, trendy ingredients are not necessary to have great skin, according to a Northwestern University survey of dermatologists. The ingredient that got the biggest thumbs-up was retinoids, which speed cell turnover and stimulate collagen production for radiant-looking skin. Over 96 percent of derms surveyed recommended it for its antiaging benefits and for treating fine lines, acne, dark spots and oily skin. Your doctor can prescribe a retinol. Also, less potent over-the-counter formulas are available at department stores and drugstores. Almost all the derms surveyed agreed that sunscreen, which prevents fine lines and wrinkles, was a skincare must. Mineral formulas containing titanium dioxide and zinc oxide earned recommendations from 97 percent of experts. Chemical sunscreens, which use avobenzone, octinoxate and oxybenzone to block the sun’s rays, were approved by 82 percent…

SICKLY King Charles has been rocked by renewed accusations that his late great-uncle and beloved mentor Lord Mountbatten was a twisted pedophile who raped young boys — including residents of a notorious children’s home in Belfast, sources say. A recently released book by former BBC journalist Chris Moore reports disturbing claims that Mountbatten, who was assassinated in 1979 when the Irish Republican Army bombed his boat, sexually abused minors in Northern Ireland — and that the government covered up the vile crimes. A royal insider says of the scandal-weary monarch, “It’s just blow after blow for him.” Moore’s book, Kincora: Britain’s Shame — Mountbatten, MI5, the Belfast Boys’ Home Sex Abuse Scandal and the British Cover-Up, details graphic accusations from five former residents of the facility against the aristocrat, including…

BRITNEY SPEARS reportedly is desperate to rebuild her relationship with her teenage sons, but if she’s truly sincere she needs to face the fact that she’s no longer a teen sexpot — but a middle-aged mom — and stop embarrassing them with her outrageous antics and poses in sexy lingerie like a raunchy pop tart. As GLOBE recently reported, the lonely 43-year-old Gimme More singer spends her days posting videos for fans of her prancing around in bikinis and other near-nude outfits while muttering mumbo jumbo. But she also seems to want to get closer to her sons, Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18. She rarely saw them during her court-imposed conservatorship from 2008 to 2021, when from ages 2 and 1, their dad, her ex-hubby Kevin Federline, had custody and…

PRODUCING the brilliant One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in 1975 at age 29 launched MICHAEL DOUGLAS’ filmmaking career and gave him an Oscar, but it came at a price — it caused years of strain between him and his way more famous father, KIRK DOUGLAS, who was supposed to star! Kirk was thought too old for the role and got the boot in favor of JACK NICHOLSON as the spirited con pretending to be a mental patient, who shockingly winds up lobotomized and broken. Michael has acknowledged how much the snub hurt his dad, but they managed to mend fences after some time had passed.…

SCREEN icon Goldie Hawn is looking at building a new career in TV’s home improvement landscape and has set her sights on tearing down Chip and Joanna Gaines’ dominance in the space, insiders say. While her longtime partner, movie hunk Kurt Russell, 74, continues to work in big-budget projects, the 79-year-old Death Becomes Her star hasn’t had a big part in years and sources say she believes she can build a whole new career for herself in the Gaineses’ backyard. “She has a real passion for this stuff, and Goldie’s hospitality and home decor for her family during the holiday season is legendary,” spills an insider, who adds the Banger Sisters actress thinks she has the fame and know-how to knock the Fixer Upper stars off their longheld pedestal. “She’s…

COUNTRY diva Reba McEntire has saddled up for a new season of The Voice alongside fellow coaches Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé and Niall Horan — but tipsters tell GLOBE that she’s embracing her queen bee status and some are feeling stung by her imperious attitude. “Bosses are thrilled to have Reba back, and it took a lot of coddling because she’s a busy lady. But she’s back and quickly making her presence known,” an insider says. “Her fellow judges like Reba, but she’s cocky and a take-charge character. It’s always all about her — whether she intends it to be or not. They’re going into it a bit wary and not too pleased because she’s effectively another boss.” According to the source, the powers that be for the singing contest…

EMILY RATAJKOWSKI, 34, has played hotties in flicks like Gone Girl, but now the mom of 4-year-old son SLY with ex-hubby SEBASTIAN BEAR-MCCLARD, says she’s “decentering” men and concentrating on friendships with gals. “I am a single mom and I just really, I think as I’ve gotten older I started to really value community with other women particularly. And that’s definitely a priority for me.” Does that mean she’s gay or bi? “I think sexuality is on a sliding scale,” she says mysteriously. “I don’t really believe in straight people.” Hootie and the Blowfish singer DARIUS RUCKER, 59, quit mid-concert when his voice went bye-bye at Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Casino.“Y’all, I can’t sing anymore,” the embarrassed crooner told shocked fans. “This [has] never happened. I physically can’t sing, and…

Blindsided by instant coffee ✚ INSTANT coffee was linked to an almost sevenfold higher risk of developing the most common form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Researchers from China’s Hubei University of Medicine analyzed data from more than 500,000 people in the U.K.’s Biobank and found that instant joe increased the risk of dry AMD. While genetics play a role, scientists speculate that consuming ultraprocessed foods like instant coffee may also be a culprit. Other types of java did not pose a risk.

SIXTIES singing sweetheart Connie Francis went to her grave with a broken heart, convinced fans had forgotten her, insiders tell GLOBE. At the height of her popularity, Connie, who died at 87 on July 16, piled up a whopping 35 Top 40 hits, including Stupid Cupid and Who’s Sorry Now? Back then, the Jersey girl born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero was the biggest singing star in the world — with fame that rivaled Taylor Swift’s today. Connie also had a successful film career, including starring in and singing the hit theme song for the classic 1960 spring break flick Where the Boys Are. But despite her chart dominance, she was rarely remembered for her place in music history and was never even nominated to the Rock and Roll Hall of…

CRYING EDITION: Child actor Jackie Cooper was having trouble crying on cue for the 1931 movie Skippy. His uncle Norman Taurog, who was also the director, threatened to kill Jackie’s canine costar to get the tears he wanted. There are three main types of tears: basal, which lubricate dry or irritated eyes; reflex, like when you’re chopping an onion; and emotional — which only humans are capable of. Sobbing can release endorphins, the feel-good, natural-high chemicals you get from running and exercising. Although some people — particularly men — disdain crying as a sign of weakness, it can be an important coping mechanism and an easy way to manage overwhelming feelings. Tears foster human connection! Crying can induce others to feel for you and offer you comfort.…
