Courteney’s convinced her Friends co-star BFF and Brad, 58, are meant to be despite their bitter breakup after Pitt was caught cheating with now ex-wife Angelina Jolie. “Courteney’s one of the few people they both listen to because she’s got zero agenda except seeing them both happy,” spills an insider. “She’s been telling Brad Jen IS the one for him and he shouldn’t let her slip away. She’s been working on Jen, too, saying she should be open to it.” Courteney first made a sneaky matchmaking move three years ago by urging “Jen to invite Brad to her 50th birthday party,” dishes the insider. “She saw with…

MORE than 40 years after the mysterious drowning of his wife Natalie Wood, Robert Wagner is still tormented and haunted by her death in his sad last days, sources say. The actor, who turned 92 on Feb. 10, is now living with his wife of 32 years, Jill St. John, on a Colorado ranch, but life isn’t rosy, sources say. “Wagner’s health isn’t too bad, at least as far as he’s let on, but people around him suspect what’s troubling him is more mental than physical and that it’s making him miserable,” dishes an insider. Sources say the November release of a book by Natalie’s sister Lana — Little Sister: My Investigation into the Mysterious Death of Natalie Wood — has left Wagner shaken. “Lana’s book has taken a real…

DOG-SITTER Jacqueline Durand has barely survived after two hell hounds she was hired to watch ate her face in a horrific ambush attack, court papers claim. The 22-year-old University of Texas coed was so badly savaged, she was still hospitalized more than a month after the Dec. 23 attack and may never live a normal life again, her devastated parents say. In a lawsuit against owners Ashley and Justin Bishop of Coppell, Jackie’s lawyers insist she’s “permanently and catastrophically” disfigured. “Her ears, nose, upper lip, and face — from cheek bone to cheek bone — were pulled off,” says her dad, John. “She will never look the same.” The horror happened as Jacqueline, who earns money dog-sitting while attending college in Dallas, opened the door of the Bishop home to…

The 65-year-old sexpot, who starred in the flick 10, and the 60-year-old My Big Fat Greek Wedding stud tied the knot during the pandemic after 18 years together. But now “the honeymoon is over and boredom has set in — for Bo at least,” tattles a source. “They’ve only been married a year but they’re dealing with serious challenges and friends worry about their future. “She’s a free spirit. He’s a homebody. They’re spending more time apart. It’s ironic she’s older than him, but has zeal and spark.” Bo was 16 when she plunged into an affair with 30-years-older actor-director John Derek. He then…

ZSA Zsa Gabor’s childless widower Frederic Prinz von Anhalt is adopting a grown-up guy to take care of him in his old age — and be heir to his title and the actress’ estimated $40 million fortune. The 78-year-old insists his search for a successor to his 1,000-year-old German title even included a rapper. But he chose 27-year-old Kevin Feucht, who is a friend’s son. “I wanted to show lonely people they do not need to be alone,” says von Anhalt, Zsa Zsa’s ninth hubby. “You can adopt a grown-up and have somebody who helps you from day one. He has a new birth certificate and I am his official father.” While adult adoptions are unusual in America, von Anhalt claims they’re common in Europe and how he got his…

SEX trafficking pedophile Jeffrey Epstein visited Bill Clinton’s White House 17 times — and brought eight young women with him! Damning White House logs confirm the visits by the late billionaire sex monster between 1993 and 1995 during Clinton’s first term as commander-in-chief and indicate their relationship was much closer than Hillary’s hubby has ever publicly let on. Four of the women Epstein brought as arm candy — Norwegian heiress Celina Midelfart, then 21, former Miss Sweden Eva Andersson-Dubin, 33, twenty-something model Francis Jardine and his partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, 32 — were dating the pervert at the time they visited Clinton. The child rapist’s relations with the other beauties he took to meet Clinton — Jennifer Garrison, Shelley Gafni, Jennifer Driver and Lyoubov Orlova — “are unclear,” says…

NURSE Julie DeVuono is accused of raking in a whopping $1.5 million — in just three months — by selling fake COVID vaccination cards, and her cop-hubby is being investigated to see if he was part of the shameful scam. DeVuono, 49, owner of Long Island’s Wild Child Pediatrics, is charged with forgery and filing false information with the state and her employee Marissa Urraro, 44, also a practical nurse, faces a forgery rap.

FLASHY Texas mortician John Beckwith Jr. — known for staging over-the-top sendoffs on TLC’s Best Funeral Ever — mishandled the remains of more than a dozen dead people, grieving relatives charge. At least 17 families, who entrusted Beckwith’s Golden Gate Funeral Home with their late loved ones, are suing the Dallas-based business and the flamboyant reality TV star. Some say they were given the wrong person’s ashes, cremains were disposed without permission or bodies were left to rot, according to court documents. Jackie Carlisle claims Golden Gate misplaced her mom, Jennifer Hall, in 2020. Her suit charges when the funeral home finally found Hall’s bloated corpse, it reeked and was partially decomposed — and still clad in a hospital gown! “It broke me, and I fell on the floor,” Carlisle…

An ambulance rushed Bravo channel’s Vanderpump Rules cutie — with husband Ken Todd along for the ride — to the hospital, where she was treated for two breaks in her leg and a badly bruised back. While Lisa’s been riding for six years, even experts can be crippled or killed. Superman star Christopher Reeve, then 42, was paralyzed from the neck down during a riding competition and remained totally crippled until his death at…

DWARF actor Peter Dinklage is short on friends in the Little People community after he strong-armed Disney into “rethinking” a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs remake — throwing pint-sized actors under the bus! Disgruntled dwarfs are giving Dinklage a drubbing after the Game of Thrones star publicly spanked the studio for its “backward” plan to make a live-action version of the classic 1937 animated tale about a beautiful princess in a house full of shorties. “Peter Dinklage is the biggest dwarf actor probably of all time but it doesn’t make him king dwarf,” grumbles Dylan Postl, 35, who has played Hornswoggle the leprechaun in WWE. “It makes me so sick to my stomach to think that there are seven roles for dwarfs who can’t get normal acting roles, or…

DARING country diva Dolly Parton knows how to keep her 55-year marriage smokin’ — she dresses up “to keep things spicy” for hubby Carl Dean! “Every day, I put on some makeup and fix my hair because I think, ‘Well, the whole world, I’m out here and everybody else sees me all dressed up, and I’m not going to just kind of go home and just flop on him,’” reveals Dolly, 76. But not everything is hot with her 79-year-old husband. “Every once in a while I see Carl leaned back, snoring in his La-Z-Boy chair, and I think, ‘Where is Jolene when I need her?’” — a reference to Dolly’s hit song about a homewrecker trying to steal her Carl away!…
