A BREAKTHROUGH stem cell treatment that stops multiple sclerosis dead in its tracks — after just a single treatment — could be the miracle cure that has Tootsie actress Teri Garr walking and dancing again after being crippled by the cruel disease for more than 20 years. The 74-year-old Young Frankenstein star, who was seen in a wheelchair pushed by an assistant at Target in L.A. on Jan. 22, suffers from the immune system disease that ravages the nervous system, robbing millions of speech, vision and balance while causing severe fatigue. “Teri can’t do much at all without the assistance of her caretaker,” says a source. “Most of the time she can’t muster enough strength to walk, and when she can, it’s only for short distances.” But the new therapy…

KIDNAPPED golden retriever Scooby turned the tables on his captor and solved his own abduction — and a slew of other thefts — by tipping off cops! When suspected dognapper Cory Gaudio opened the door of his Brooklyn home to investigating NYPD officers, Scooby squeezed by and dashed out to greet the police, stunned lawmen say. “So you have me on a stolen dog,” the 23-year-old suspect reportedly blurted to lawmen. “I found it and I was going to keep it for a reward.” But investigators probing a rash of break-ins in the Gravesend neighborhood found a lot more than the purloined pooch in his pad, including pain pills, stolen property and a cache of weapons — a machete, sword, “knuckle knife” and bullets, according to police reports.

FURIOUS stripper Jennifer Morrissey shot dead her senior citizen sugar daddy, Michael McNew, after the moneybags gave her the boot — and cut off her luxury lifestyle — because she was cheating with a bad boy biker, say prosecutors.
