You read it here FIRST! MUSIC icon Paul McCartney has confirmed GLOBE’s shocking report that he can’t remember the lyrics to “many” Beatles’ songs. The 76-year-old pop superstar fessed up that he’s forgotten the Fab Four’s classic tunes because there are “too many” and relearns them before concerts. “When I’m doing shows I listen to a lotta music, Beatles music, Wings music, to see what ones we’re gonna do. And to learn them,” he confesses. As GLOBE reported Oct. 1, the Yesterday singer’s forgetfulness of his lyrics left pals fearing he was suffering the onset of Alzheimer’s. But the maker of 38 Beatles and post-Beatles studio albums claims he forgets because of the sheer volume. “There’s too many,” says Paul. “Too many words. Too many notes. They’re very hard. I…

Two…

JEFF BRIDGES’ family connection helped him score his first notable screen appearance — in father Lloyd’s TV series Sea Hunt. But he came into his own with an Academy Award nomination for 1971’s The Last Picture Show — and gained a cult following as The Dude in 1998’s The Big Lebowski. Here are ten things you don’t know about Jeff, whose latest project — Bad Times at the El Royale — sees the 68-year-old actor portraying an aging crook masquerading as a priest. 1 His childhood crush was ’60s starlet Tuesday Weld. 2 He played a younger version of his father’s character in the 1969 TV movie Silent Night, Lonely Night. 3 He met wife Susan — who he married in 1977 — while she was working as a waitress…

AN UNHOLY terror was nabbed in Morocco and shipped back to the U.S. to finally face justice for molesting a child after decades on the lam, say authorities in New Mexico. Arthur J. Perrault, a former Roman Catholic priest, vanished in 1992 — days before a lawyer filed two lawsuits claiming the cleric sexually assaulted seven children from a local parish! But dogged investigators eventually tracked Perrault to Tangier, where he was teaching kids at an English-language school! Armed with a U.S. criminal indictment, local lawmen hauled him in and delivered him to the FBI last month. Now Perrault, 80, is being charged with molesting an 11-year-old boy between 1991 and 1992 at the Santa Fe National Cemetery and Kirtland Air Force Base, where he’d worked as a chaplain. If…

PRINCE WILLIAM’S wife, Kate, is tangled in an ugly scandal as pals of her late mom-in-law, Diana, and snippy royal relatives are screaming bloody murder over her family selling a Halloween costume of a princess covered in gore. Di’s pal Simone Simmons blasted the Zombie Sleeping Princess outfit being peddled by Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, on her Party Pieces website as “twisted and warped.” “I hope people boycott this site,” fumes Simone. The costume includes a tiara and a blood-splattered dress, and is aimed at girls ages four to nine. Simone calls the outfit “sicker than sick,” considering William’s mom died at age 36 in a bloody 1997 car wreck. Following the outcry, the costume disappeared from the website. But insiders say Kate’s blue-blood enemies Eugenie and Beatrice are making…

SARAH PALIN needs to stop traipsing around giving speeches and stay home with her kids. Son TRACK, 29, just got busted — for the third time in less than three years — on domestic violence charges for assaulting a gal and preventing her from calling cops, and then resisting arrest. The Army vet was also busted for beating his dad, TODD, bloody in December. And in January 2016, time bomb Track exploded on a galpal. The hothead is now cooling his heels in an Alaskan slammer, where he was being held on a $500 unsecured bond. Good, now everyone can feel safer! Meanwhile, the…

SCIENTOLOGY critic Leah Remini claims she’s “harassed constantly” by members of the controversial cult and blames her choice to leave the church for spiking her friendship with Katie Holmes! “Trust me, Katie’s not allowed to have a meal with me, and we used to be close friends,” says the 48-year-old King of Queens star, who insists Tom Cruise’s ex “could lose custody” of their daughter, Suri, for running afoul of the pint-size Scientology kingpin. “It’s quite sick, really.”…

SADISTIC David C. Herbert has been convicted of torturing his neighbors’ dogs — including digging out the eye of a Siberian husky! Jurors also found Herbert, 37, abused another neighbor’s dog, a golden retriever named Lala — and cops claim the monster did an online search for “how to get a dog to drink antifreeze,” which is toxic to canines. During his trial, the California man admitted he bought ethylene glycol — a compound in antifreeze — and left it lying around his property. Herbert, a former Navy sailor, claims he did nothing wrong. He insists Lala “jumped into his car” and he was about to take her to a shelter when she bolted away. Police discovered a small amount of blood in his car and on a baseball bat…

AS COUNTRY superstar Glen Campbell lay in a nursing home, dying of brain-destroying Alzheimer’s disease, his fourth wife, Kimberly, was cheating — slipping away for steamy romps with actor James Keach, the ex-hubby of actress Jane Seymour, say insiders. The bombshell charge comes as the Rhinestone Cowboy’s kin feud over his $50 million estate with three of Glen’s older children going at it tooth and nail against the singer’s weepy widow, who is his executor. Sources insist the fling began in 2014 after the Wichita Lineman singer finished up a grueling 150-show tour for the Netflix documentary Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me. Kimberly and James, the documentary’s director, took off on a whirlwind promo tour — and plunged into an affair, says an insider, who claims the couple were spotted…

FROM the horror, blood and death of the biggest mass shooting in U.S. history, love has blossomed between Nicole Ruffino and Bryan Hopkins, the hero who saved her life. Guitarist Bryan, 49, and radiology coordinator Nicole, 25, are now joined forever — a year after the bloodbath at the Route 91 Harvest country music fest in Las Vegas left 58 dead and 851 people injured. “Out of the ashes of this horrific shooting came something positive,” says a source close to the lovebirds, who notes their inspirational tale “goes a long way to help heal some of the wounds” left by the horror. Bryan, frontman for the Elvis Monroe band, and Nicole were strangers among the 22,000 fans at the open-air concert at the Las Vegas Village when evil struck.…

JEALOUS rapper Cardi B is facing misdemeanor charges for ordering her crew to bust up sexy sister bartenders at a Big Apple jiggle joint. The 26-year-old Bodak Yellow singer unleashed her pals on Angels Strip Club cocktail slingers Jade and Baddi Gi after suspecting one of the gals of making a play for her rapper hubby, Offset, lawmen charge. Cardi, who gave birth to Offset’s daughter three months ago, was watching him perform at the flesh palace Aug. 29 when she confronted the curvy booze-pourers, then “ordered” her entourage to attack the gals with bottles, chairs and hookah pipes, cops say. The feisty fem’s charged with reckless endangerment and assault, all misdemeanors. She has denied the accusations. Her court date is Oct. 29. Cardi B was also involved in an…

GUTSY child star Danielle Spencer is in the fight of her life against a hidden brain injury caused by a horrific car accident that put the beloved What’s Happening!! smart aleck in a coma 41 years ago, stunned pals reveal. Although Spencer, now 53, rebounded from the accident and went on to become a respected veterinarian, the actress who played character Roger Thomas’ scheming little sister, Dee, on the hit ’70s sitcom recently began experiencing crippling headaches — and then slipped into unconsciousness. “Doctors did emergency brain surgery, removing a bleeding hematoma that formed due to the car accident,” says a friend. Danielle has had several brushes with death, beginning with the tragic 1977 car accident, in which her courageous actor stepfather, Tim Pelt, sacrificed his life to shield her…

POP legend Cher is reeling after learning that a “trusted” houseguest was busted at her Malibu mansion for selling deadly drugs and having a weapons stash! Armed with a warrant, a sheriff’s drug task force swooped down on the songbird’s cushy seaside digs late last month and arrested Donovan Ruiz, 23, who has a sordid criminal past and is related to the star’s assistant. Police say they seized key evidence — including several weapons and clubs. “Ruiz is suspected of being the source of supply of fentanyl to many users in Ventura County,” says a police source. Lawmen originally linked Ruiz to a fatal drug overdose — but prosecutors had not determined if they’d charge him in connection with the tragedy five days after his arrest. He was being held…

PRODUCERS star Matthew Broderick is still shamefully dodging a face-to-face meeting with the wheelchair-bound man whose mom and sister died in a car accident with the American actor 31 years ago! That’s the claim of crippled Martin Doherty, whose mom, Margaret, 63, and sister, Anna, 30, were killed in a head-on crash with Broderick on a remote road in Ireland. Broderick was fined $175 for his role in the wreck, but Doherty insists in an exclusive interview he “has never heard a word” from the actor, who is married to Sex and the City’s Sarah Jessica Parker and still visits his Irish homestead not far from the site of the fatal accident. “Years ago I tried to get in touch, but I’ve had no contact with him of any kind,”…

BRAZILIAN bombshell Gisele Bündchen admits she boosted her bust three years ago after breastfeeding her babies left her with smaller, lopsided boobs — but the candid catwalker confesses she “immediately regretted” going under the knife! “When I woke up, I was like, ‘What have I done?’ I felt like I was living in a body I didn’t recognize,” says the 38-year-old supermodel, who shares daughter Vivian, 5, and son Benjamin, 8, with football star hubby Tom Brady.…

MALARIA, an agonizing parasitic infection that kills 445,000 people every year, is on the brink of being eliminated — thanks to revolutionary gene technology that targets the blood-sucking carriers of the mosquito-borne illness. A team from Imperial College London was able to block the reproductive capacity of mosquitoes in a laboratory setting through a “designer molecular” approach. The method, called gene drive, focused on a specific species of the insect, which is responsible for thousands of deaths annually in sub-Saharan Africa. By altering the gene that determines if a bug is male or female, scientists prevented some females from biting and laying eggs. While male mosquitoes showed no changes at all, the females displayed characteristics of both sexes, and after eight generations, no additional girl bugs were born and the…

GOOFY Gwyneth Paltrow tried to convince gals steam cleaning was good for their vaginas — now the newlywed wants folks to believe her first marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin didn’t happen. The ditzy actress and boss of the scandal-scarred goop.com sales website got hitched to American Horror Show producer Brad Falchuk on Sept. 29, two days after her 46th birthday. Since she eloped with first hubby Martin, she earlier gushed: “I’ve never had a wedding before, so even though I’m 45, I sort of feel like a 21-year-old.” She also put down her first marriage and an earlier engagement to Brad Pitt for lacking intimacy and romantic love, saying, “For the first time, I feel like I’m in an adult relationship.” Gwynnie has two kids — Apple, 14, and…

THE bad blood between Frank Sinatra’s last wife, Barbara Sinatra, and his daughters continues to boil over — even though his widow has been in her grave for more than a year. Fourth wife Barbara died at age 90 on July 25 last year, but Frank’s daughters — Nancy, 78, and Tina, 70, by late first wife Nancy — “are livid their stepmom’s estate is auctioning off priceless items they feel should have gone to them,” snitches an insider. The priceless trove includes photos of Frank with Rat Pack pals Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop, scripts with notes he scribbled in the margins for his iconic flicks Ocean’s 11 and From Here to Eternity, his awards, selfcreated artworks and his portrait painted by iconic artist…

GOLF icon Tiger Woods is at the top of his game again after miracle back surgery saved him from screaming pain. The 42-year-old, once considered unbeatable, copped the Tour Championship at Atlanta’s East Lake Golf Club late last month for his first PGA victory since 2013. Even though he struggled at the Ryder Cup international matches a couple weeks ago, Tiger’s astounding comeback followed risky spinal surgery by Dr. Richard Guyer at the Texas Back Institute in April last year. Two of his vertebrae were fused and damaged disc material was removed, says a source. “It was instant nerve relief. I haven’t felt this good in years,” Tiger wrote in his blog. Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who has not treated the superstar swinger, says, “His pain was caused by the bones…

WITH its mix of mystery, witty banter and romantic tension, detective dramedy Moonlighting launched unknown actor BRUCE WILLIS into stardom and revamped CYBILL SHEPHERD’s cooling career. But the hit show lasted only five abbreviated seasons. By 1989, Willis wanted to capitalize on his Die Hard success and make more movies, while Shepherd — who’d recently given birth to twins — was ready for the series to fade to black. But the former co-stars reunited earlier this year as Comedy Central roasted the onscreen action hero. Sharp-tongued Shepherd joked, “On Moonlighting, I played a former model, which I was, and Bruce played an a**hole, which he is.”…
