ANGRY investors want authorities to dig up the grave marked as belonging to a rogue Bitcoin trader — to make sure it’s really his body buried there! The stockholders in nowbankrupt QuadrigaCX fear its founder, Gerald Cotten, 30 — who’s rumored to have stashed away $137 million — may still be alive and living off his plundered cryptocurrency fortune. Lawyers for the investors say “questionable circumstances” surround the Canadian moneyman’s sudden 2018 death while honeymooning in India, a demise that was attributed to complications of Crohn’s disease. They have asked the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to exhume his body and perform a post-mortem autopsy “to confirm both his identity and the cause of death.” Cotten was the only person with passwords to the money invested in Bitcoins when he died,…

ROCKER Ric Ocasek’s estranged wife has gone to court to get a piece of his $5 million estate — despite the fact he cut her out of his will before he died! The Cars frontman disinherited supermodel Paulina Porizkova in his final days, claiming she “abandoned him.” She’s entitled to one-third of his estate under New York law — unless it can be legally proven she did dump him. The two announced they had separated in May 2018 after a 28-year marriage. She discovered Ocasek, 75, dead in his New York City townhouse on Sept. 15. In an Instagram post shortly before the musician died, Porizkova said she and the sons had with Ocasek — Jonathan and Oliver — had been looking after him as he recovered from surgery. ››…

Monica Ruiz, 32, is hoping her two-day appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful will lead to better things — and that the soap gig washes away bad memories of playing a super-buff wife whose husband wants her to tone up more on a pricey bike he bought her! She got a much better critical reception for a follow-up ad she did for Ryan Reynolds’ Aviation Gin. “I hope people can remember that I’m not actually the Peloton lady,” she says, “and let me work other jobs!”…

PEST-control efforts could be creating a new generation of super rats, experts fear! According to urban animal researcher Jonathan Richardson, rodents who survive efforts to wipe them out are more likely to have genetic traits that help them survive poison and evade traps — and then pass those biologically bred street smarts on to their young! “If only the fittest rats make it through the control campaign, the survivors may be even better adapted to take advantage of the high-resource minefield of modern cities, leaving a new population of ‘super rats’ to breed and repopulate,” says Richardson.…

THINGS got real when reality stars Angelina Pivarnick and Ashley Martson picked an uncharitable time to get into a screaming catfight — right after a holiday fundraiser for needy children! It was Jersey Shore versus 90 Day Fiancé at the Sugar Factory in downtown New York City as the clashing cuties argued over whose party broke the rules and recorded the other on camera phones first! “Ashley stood up and went over to Angelina’s side of the table, got in her face and said, ‘I’ll f**k you up,’ ” spills a source. “Angelina was just laughing. She said, ‘Yeah, all right. Go ahead!’ ” Things got so out of control that a glass broke, says a shocked witness, who adds former Giants player Michael Cox had to separate the beauties,…

TROUBLED singer Demi Lovato has branded herself a “survivor” — literally — by getting the word tattooed on her neck 18 months after a near-fatal opioid overdose. The former Disney starlet was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in July 2018 after emergency services were called to her L.A. home. She was then hospitalized for two weeks followed by a stint in rehab. The body art is just the latest egoboosting ink for the actress, who has “stay strong” written on her wrists and “now I’m a warrior” etched across her back. The 27-year-old also celebrated six months of sobriety in January 2019 by getting a rose tattooed on her finger.…

ZAPPING women’s brains with a small electrical current could substantially slash the pain of menstrual cramps, say researchers. During the study, done at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil, the treatment was administered to 22 volunteers through battery-powered electrodes placed on the scalp that were activated for 20 minutes a day for a week. The method is similar to techniques currently used to lessen the physical suffering of fibromyalgia and strokes. The women reported feeling itching or tingling sensations at the electrode sites for a few seconds during the procedure — but noted up to a 40 percent reduction in menstrual discomfort compared to those who did not received the treatment. The researchers theorize the tiny electric jolts may reset the brain’s response to physical pain.…

A CALIFORNIA beach aroused a whole heap of attention after a storm washed up tons of large sea worms commonly known as “penis fish”! The creatures, which look uncannily like a man’s junk, normally live under the sand, but a sudden bomb cyclone dislodged them and deposited them along a two-mile stretch of Drakes Beach, about 25 miles north of San Francisco. “These phallic organisms are quite common along the West coast of North America,” notes Bay Nature magazine, “but they spend their whole lives in U-shaped burrows under the sand, so few beachgoers are aware of their existence.” Also known as innkeeper worms, the critters vary in length from a couple of inches to a foot and are prized by gourmets, especially in Korea. A man walking the beach,…

WHEN convicted murderer and he-man NFL football star Aaron Hernandez hanged himself in prison, he took a stunning gay secret to his grave. The 27-year-old New England Patriots tight end was living a hidden double life: shacked up in a mansion with fiancée Shayanna Jenkins, mom of his little daughter, Avielle — and hitting the homosexual scene in the Boston area! The bombshell details are revealed in a gripping documentary, Aaron Hernandez’s Killing Fields, airing at 8 p.m. ET on Reelz TV Jan. 12. After an All-American career at the University of Florida, Aaron, then 20, joined the Patriots in 2010 and starred on the team’s offense.

DITA ONLY GOBBLES THE BEST BANANAS! Famed burlesque beauty DITA VON TEESE, 47, is very fussy about her bananas — she won’t peel one unless her fave fruit is picture perfect! In fact, says the entertainer, she has a banana chart attached to her contract — known as a rider — for the goodies that have to be in her dressing room “that shows the level of ripeness” she needs. “I know it’s eccentric,” she adds, “but it’s the only eccentric thing on my rider!” SHARON’S PASSION ASTOUNDS MARIE!

After arriving to Virginia’s Buckingham prison and being singled out by a drug-sniffing dog, the girl and her dad’s galpal, Diamond Peer-man, were told rules require children to be searched, but with the permission of a par-ent or official guardian.

IT WAS a classic buddy-cop series, but Adam-12, which ran from 1968 to 1975, broke new ground by revealing more about the behind-the-scenes procedures and jargon of police work than other shows of the era. An example of this was the name of the popular program, which referred to a patrol car and its beat. Pairing a vet mourning the murder of his former partner and a rookie cop, the weekly drama starred MARTIN MILNER, who played still-shaken Pete Malloy (left), and KENT McCORD as newly minted officer Jim Reed as they watched over the streets of Los Angeles.…
