One day they were making plans to be together for the summer in London, then there was this message instructing her to only contact him via lawyers.” Sources believe the 91-year-old tycoon, whose $17 billion News Corp empire includes the New York Post and FOX News, was “soured” on the marriage by his six children, who believe Jerry is…

UNDER pressure by fans and sinking ratings, The View’s embattled queen bee Whoopi Goldberg is ready to walk — but only if she’s paid the mega-millions she’s owed, say sources. The bigmouth, 66-year-old co-host is determined to collect on the four-year deal she inked in September 2021 — worth an estimated $8 million a year — whether she’s sitting in the hot seat or not, say sources. “Even with her giant-size ego, she can’t hold off her enemies forever,” tattles an insider. “She wants a hefty payoff to leave or else she’ll stay and make everyone miserable.” Incredibly, the word behind the scenes is her “bosses are actually considering it,” the insider continues. “Whoopi has three years left on her contract, but after her embarrassing blunders the feeling is it…
