I’M OUTTA here! Bethenny Frankel ditched The Real Housewives of New York City after Bravo bigwigs nixed her bid for a fatter paycheck, a source snitches.

AREAS with lots of fast food restaurants see more people suffer heart attacks, according to a new study. Researchers found that for each additional fast food restaurant opened in the Australian state of New South Wales, four more heart attacks were reported per 1,000 residents. “The results emphasize the importance of the food environment as a potential contributor towards health,” explains study author Tarunpreet Saluja. In the analysis, researchers checked the home address of 3,070 patients hospitalized with a heart attack during a two-year period. Then they looked at the number of fast food chains in the patients’ neighborhoods to determine the link between fast food restaurant density and heart attack frequency. The study “definitely documents the association between fast foods and cardiac events,” adds Prof. Tom Warwick of the…

RAKISH Romeo George Clooney is chatting up a former flame — and his jealous wife, Amal, is breathing fire, sources dish.

THE hottest trends in plastic surgery mean that big butts and celebrity copycat faces are out — and a perfected “selfie” look is in. That’s the scuttlebutt from nip/tuck guru Dr. Paul Nassif, a host on E! network’s hit cosmetic surgery show, Botched. Plumping up booties by injections was a favorite for years, but Nassif says that’s “fading,” in part due to the dangers involved. “The Brazilian butt lifts come with a lot of increased risks and people are even dying,” he says. “Women are aware of this so … they might not want them done.” Gals also used to bring in pics of a favorite celeb and ask for features like Angelina Jolie’s lips, but no more, he notes. The current fad is bringing the doc a photo or…

POTHEAD Willie Nelson is poised to make a bundle off his cannabis company — but sources say the profits are going up in smoke!
