Superstar singer ARIANA GRANDE wails a spooky tune, describing spine-tingling paranormal perils. Ariana, 28, tells a tale of being haunted by demons after visiting a creepy cemetery in Kansas City years ago. “I felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity over the whole car and we smelled sulfur, which is the sign of a demon, and there was a fly in the car randomly, which is another sign of a demon,” dishes the Voice judge, stressing she tried pacifying the paranormal beings by apologizing, but it didn’t work. Soon, she started hearing spooky things that go bump in the night. “When I opened my eyes it stopped immediately, but when I closed my eyes it started again with whispers.

SHAMED cyberbully Chrissy Teigen declares she’s been off the sauce for 100 days and credits her online stalking scandal with sobering her up. The former Sports Illustrated bathing suit beauty says she quit guzzling in July after her nasty behavior was exposed and she admitted being an “a**hole.” The 35-year-old wife of singer John Legend got caught with her bikini down in May when it was revealed she’d been an ugly online troll in 2011.

The Westchester County District Attorney’s Office slapped the 78-year-old real estate heir with the criminal complaint days after the cross-dressing tycoon was ordered to serve life in prison without parole in California for fatally shooting confidante Susan Berman in 2000. But following his sentencing, the suspected serial killer — who was acquitted of murdering and dismembering a Texas man in 2001 after claiming self-defense — was taken to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and hooked up to a ventilator.

ACTRESS Anne Heche says her lesbian love-in with comic Ellen DeGeneres got her “blacklisted” by Hollywood superstars — except for superstar Harrison Ford, who insisted studio bigwigs make her his co-star in a rom-com. Tinseltown was rocked when Anne, now 52, invited Ellen to be her date at the 1997 premiere of Volcano. Now starring in the disaster flick 13 Minutes, the bisexual babe and Ellen dated until 2000, but Heche says she was “blacklisted” for “the next ten years.” But Ford insisted she be his love interest in 1998’s Six Days Seven Nights over studio objections.

VICTORIA’S Secret models were so desperate to keep their limelight jobs with the lingerie giant, they starved, overexercised and took drugs leading to horrific physical and mental side effects, including post-traumatic stress disorder! The revelations come from the eight-part podcast Fallen Angel: The Victoria’s Secret Story, which blows the lid off the behind-the-scenes nightmare of glittering fashion shows that left the lingerie beauties with “eating disorders, poor health, depression, anxiety and other issues,” podcast producers charge. Former Angel Erin Heatherton reveals that at 25 her body changed and “I was just a little bit bigger. That pushed me over the edge, led me down this path where I went to see this nutritionist who started me on this diet pill called phentermine, which my therapist later called ‘bathwater meth.’” Phentermine…

In explosive courtroom testimony, ex-police chief José Manuel Villarejo said the “rampant sex drive” of the disgraced former monarch, now 83, was becoming a “state problem.” The Don Juan even bedded Britain’s Princess Diana right under his cousin Charles’ nose during family vacations in the 1980s!

ADULTS older than 60 — who do not have a history of cardiac conditions — should not start taking a low-dose daily aspirin to prevent heart disease and stroke, experts say. A recent statement from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggests the potential harm from an aspirin regimen — internal bleeding — may cancel out the benefits among older patients. Task Force member Dr. Chien-Wen Tseng adds the panel’s recommendation is “not for people already taking aspirin for a previous heart attack or stroke. They should continue to do so unless told otherwise by their clinician.” However, the group adds adults aged 40 to 59 who are at risk for cardiovascular disease should consult with their physicians about whether or not to take aspirin on a preventive basis.…

NETWORK bigwigs are taking an ax to the CBS Evening News and Norah O’Donnell’s megabucks anchor gig is reportedly on the chopping block, according to insiders. Sources say the newsgal, 47, rakes in a whopping $8 million a year, but her three-year pact is set to expire in the spring.

While sources insist CBS News co-president Neeraj Khemlani is looking at cost-cutting and moving the show from Washington to the Big Apple, he denies there’s a shakeup brewing.

JAPAN’S pretty Princess Mako tied the knot with her commoner beau, Kei Komuro, and kissed her title — and the megabucks that go with it — goodbye. The 30-year-old beauty happily wed Kei, 30, in a private Oct. 25 ceremony and blew off a $1.35 million royal payout due to the controversy over their marriage, but she has no regrets. “For me, Kei-san is a priceless person,” says the ex-royal. “For us, our marriage was a necessary choice to live while cherishing our hearts.” The groom, a grad of New York’s Fordham Law School, declares: “I love Mako.

TV’S Bachelorette Katie Thurston and fiancé Blake Moynes are kaput just three months after their on-air engagement on the matchmaking show’s season 17. Curvy bank marketing agent Katie and the bearded, hunky Canadian wildlife manager, both 30, issued a joint statement, saying: “We are not compatible as life partners. “It is with mutual love and respect that we have decided to go our separate ways.” The sad statement is a far cry from three months before, when Katie accepted his proposal and was gushing: “I get to go into the fantasy suite with a guy that I love.

ONCE one of Tinseltown’s biggest womanizers, Jack Nicholson has given up gals for food and is in too flabby shape to bed babes, sources snitch. The 5-foot-10 screen icon is “punching the scales at 350 pounds and at age 84 that’s like staring at a death sentence,” tattles an insider. The bloated former man-about-town hasn’t been seen with a gal since 2006 when he took ravishing redhead Paz de la Huerta, a bombshell from HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, to the premiere of his gangster flick The Departed. “Jack’s a far cry from his years as a Lothario and the sad thing is that he has accepted it and gave up on dating in favor of a gluttonous lifestyle years ago,” spills an insider. “He’s not taking care of himself and struggles…

ROCK legend Randy Bachman’s favorite guitar was missing for nearly 45 years — until a fan tracked it down in Japan! As a teenager, Bachman — a founding member of The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive — worked odd jobs to save up $400 to buy the 1957 Gretsch 6120. “This guitar meant everything to me,” says the 78-year-old axe man. But in 1976 his prized possession was stolen from a hotel room. Heartbroken, Bachman searched tirelessly for the instrument, calling music stores worldwide with no luck.
