LEGENDS YOU LOVE EVERY WEEK! JUST days after heartsick bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman pleaded with fans to pray for his cancerstricken wife, Beth, he was howling with glee after docs gave his beloved a miraculous all clear. Devastated Chapman, 64, who shot to fame on his A&E reality series, Dog the Bounty Hunter, teared up as he publicly asked for “fans to pray for Beth,” who had a plum-sized cancerous tumor carved from her throat back in September. Then late last month Beth’s shattered, two-fisted hubby publicly begged: “If you love me, Lord, you’ll let me die first. Don’t let me bury Bethy.” Moments later, Dog received the results of a medical test and joyfully declared: “Hello. Attention. NO cancer!” But just weeks before, Dog and Beth, 50, were…

OSCAR winner Jennifer Lawrence admits she’s a giant jerk to her fans! “Once I enter a public place, I become incredibly rude. I turn into a huge a–hole,” JLaw confesses. “That’s my only way of defending myself.” If someone walks toward her table, the 27-year-old actress says she gives them an icy stare — and if a fan’s bold enough to ask for a selfie, “I’m like, ‘No!’” The Hunger Games vixen admits she also announces it’s “her day off.” “I say, ‘It’s Sunday. I’m not working today,’” she reveals. Jennifer also claimed fans are much tougher on comedians because everyone “assumes they’re your best friend.” When she walks through a park with pal Amy Schumer, potty-mouthed JLaw says she’s “f**ked.” ›› Tragedy is when I cut my finger.

ODDBALL actor Judd Hirsch has made a big TV comeback playing Arthur on CBS’ quirky sitcom Superior Donuts. His turn as a Chicago baker is a far cry from his crime-busting days on Numb3rs and his stint behind the wheel on the classic Taxi.

MURDER, She Wrote legend Angela Lansbury has stepped into the sexual harassment brouhaha — and deep doodoo — by taking the side of men! The 92-year-old Hollywood icon caused an uproar by declaring women are partly to blame for being harassed! “There are two sides to this coin,” Angela says. “We have to own up to the fact that women, since time immemorial, have gone out of their way to make themselves attractive. And, unfortunately, it has backfired on us — and this is where we are today. “We must sometimes take blame, women. I really do think that. Although it’s awful to say we can’t make ourselves look as attractive as possible without being knocked down and raped.” The star — whose first role was in the 1944 classic…

WHISKEY winds you up. Wine calms you down — and beer makes you confident. A new study shows your choice of alcohol — be it suds, fermented grapes or hard liquor — can have a direct impact on how you feel and act. In a study of nearly 30,000 drinkers worldwide, researchers discovered the old stories of hard booze leading to violence have a scientific basis. In fact, nearly 30 percent of those who drink hard liquor say they feel more aggressive when they use it. By contrast, only 2.5 percent of red wine drinkers blame their drink choice for a rise in aggressive feelings. On the positive side, more than half say spirits boost their confidence — and 42 percent say drinking makes them feel sexier. “This global study…

Rat Packers DEAN MARTIN, SAMMY DAVIS JR., FRANK SINATRA and PETER LAWFORD break out the booze, babes and dirty tricks in the 1962 Wild West romp Sergeants 3. But there was trouble behind the scenes.

FURIOUS Dynasty vixen Joan Collins blasted her son Alexander for claiming his entertainer dad, Anthony Newley, craved sick sex romps with young girls. While promoting his new memoir, Unaccompanied Minor, Alexander spouted Newley, Joan’s second husband, who died at age 67 in 1999, was a “sex addict” and “pedophile.” “He thought innocence was an aphrodisiac,” says Alexander, who also painted Joan as an icy beauty who left her kids to be raised by their nanny so she could party and chase acting gigs. But five-times-wed Joan slammed her son’s claim as “absolutely untrue.” “Never in a million years would I have been married to someone like that,” she fumes. “Tony loved young women and young women of 17, 18, 19 years old. “Not children by any means.”…

FAN favorite Lennie James is leaving AMC’s The Walking Dead — for the prequel Fear the Walking Dead, a move some are calling pretty brainy! “Lennie’s popular character, Morgan Jones, will join season four of Fear, which surprised some people — but it’ll be great for the show,” says a media insider. “Lennie will pump new life into the series.” Another critic notes Fear has been gearing up for a major reset, and James is part of the producers’ plan to beef up audience numbers. “The spin-off hasn’t been a breakout hit, but it’s still pulling in an average of 5 million viewers,” dishes a mole. “But the bigwigs behind the show know they can do better.” FACT On The Facts of Life, Tootie’s trademark rollerskates weren’t just a cute…
