POP star Katy Perry has announced she’s taking a break from music — but pals fear she’s suffered a secret meltdown over playboy Orlando Bloom! Sources say the I Kissed a Girl singer, 33, flipped out after seeing photos of on-again, off-again love Orlando, 41, getting flirty with beach babes in Malibu, Calif. “Orlando may have been playing a game of cornhole with his buddies, but he was clearly checking out the hotties between tosses,” spills an insider. “Katy believed what she and Orlando had was special, but this must have thrown her for a loop. “It’s no secret she’s exhausted after churning out new music and living on the road for the last ten years, so she can’t be in the frame of mind to push Orlando’s behavior aside.”…

X-MEN beauty Fan Bingbing — one of China’s most famous actresses —has been slapped with a $130 million fine by the nation’s communist regime months after she vanished! As GLOBE reported, Fan — who played teleporting mutant Blink in the blockbuster sci-fi franchise — “disappeared” on July 1 amid fears she’d been imprisoned on tax charges.

A GADGET straight out of the Batman comics promises to be the perfect crime-fighting tool! Like the superhero’s favorite gizmo, the BolaWrap shoots a string of Kevlar that winds around a suspect’s legs, arms or body. The bad guy is completely disabled, but uninjured — and a top law enforcement expert says it may soon replace the widely used Taser, which incapacitates suspects with paralyzing electroshock. “The BolaWrap will revolutionize policing!” retired New York City police detective and private investigator Bo Dietl tells GLOBE. “It’s the only non-lethal piece of equipment to have been produced in the last 50 to 100 years. “People die from Tasers because of their 50,000 volts of electricity. “With the BolaWrap, people can’t die, but they’re rendered immobile in less than a second.”…

Alexander, Louis and Brian Stuart-Houston are sons of the German fiend’s nephew William “Willy” Patrick Hitler, whose dad was Alois Hitler Jr. — Adolf’s half-brother.

But Wuornos’ letters made it clear she felt no remorse and would happily murder again. “I killed those men, robbed them as cold as ice. And I’d do it again, too,” she wrote. “There’s no chance in keeping me alive … because I’d kill again. I have hate crawling through my system … I am so sick of hearing this ‘she’s crazy’ stuff. “I’m competent, sane, and…

During her battle 18 years ago, she had cancerous tissue removed and radiated.

But justice was a long time coming for the outlaw biker, branded by prosecutors as “the leader of a racketeering organization, whose hands were dripping red with April’s blood.” She was gunned down — in her own home — six years ago by another gang member acting on Augello’s orders.

SECRET deals between retail stores and health insurance companies keep the cost of lifesaving medications sky-high! Nearly 85 percent of all prescribed drugs are generic and cost pennies a pill. But pharmacies aren’t allowed to pass on those rock-bottom prices. To stay in business, both independent shops and big chains must negotiate with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), who control which meds and networks insurers cover. “The PBMs say: ‘Play by our rules, and if you don’t, you don’t get our customers,’” says California-based physician David Belk. And one of those rules means you may shell out a co-pay that’s higher than a drug’s retail cost! But you’d never know because PBMs often keep staffers mum with a “gag clause” — while the store pockets part of the profit!…

But after several agonizing hours, The Price Is Right host was given the all-clear. “It turned out not to be a death. It was a medical emergency only,” says an LAPD spokesman.

We fear his final curtain could come any day,” says a pal. Bob has endured a slew of health problems over the years. He’s suffered two strokes, recurring skin cancer and prostate cancer.…

When Trigger died in 1965, Roy refused to “put him in the ground” and had his golden steed stuffed. Now Trigger is on display at a New Mexico ranch owned by RFD-TV and Roy, who died in 1998, is buried in Apple Valley, Calif.…

WOMEN who pig out on bacon have a higher risk of breast cancer, say Harvard University researchers. Earlier reports from the World Health Organization have connected the consumption of processed meats — like bacon, hot dogs, ham and salami — to colorectal, pancreatic and prostate cancers. But this new study is the first to pinpoint an increase in breast cancer among gals who regularly eat meat preserved by smoking, curing or salting. The scientists found high consumption of processed meat — about 25 to 30 grams a day, or three pieces of bacon — was associated with a nine percent increased risk of breast cancer, compared to women who ate the low amount of zero to two grams a day. But the Harvard researchers note that unprocessed red meat does…

The 65-year-old’s body was found by an employee. GREEN-thumbed New Yorker Karl Haist is in the green — $3,500, to be exact — after winning top prize in the annual World Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Clarence.
