AFTER nearly 40 years, the killer of beloved “Hogan’s Heroes” star Bob Crane has been unmasked — and the murderer was closely tied to the actor’s kinky, secret double life as an underground pornographer. A GLOBE special investigation reveals the sex-crazed 49-yearold actor — who was obsessed with shooting private X-rated videos of his raunchy romps and orgies — was slain by L.A. mob boss Dominic Brooklier. A source reveals the gangster “ran the porn business in L.A.,” and supplied Crane with a bevy of beauties to bed in his private skin flicks. In return, Crane agreed to star in two films — a regular romantic comedy and an XXX-rated flick — secretly financed by the racketeer. But when Crane balked at doing the X-rated movie for general distribution —…

TV QUEEN Oprah Winfrey took an exotic holiday “honeymoon” with her best friend, Gayle King — and the star’s long-suffering boyfriend of 29 years, Stedman Graham, was the odd man out! The 61-year-old former talk show host treated Gayle, Stedman and friends to an all expenses paid getaway to Fiji in the South Pacific. “Stedman felt like the third wheel with Oprah and Gayle,” an insider tells GLOBE. “Oprah invited Stedman after Gayle, so it seemed like he was an afterthought. Having Oprah’s other friends along seemed like a decoy to deflect attention away from Oprah and Gayle.” The women, who’ve been BFF’s for nearly 40 years, have long been dogged by lesbian rumors. In 2006, Oprah addressed the rumors, writing: “I understand why people think we’re gay. There isn’t…

THE Kennedys’ beloved “Winter White House” is undergoing one giant house cleaning, courtesy of an auction selling off 153 items from the sprawling Palm Beach, Fla., compound! The gorgeous oceanfront retreat was bought by patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy in 1933 for $120,000 and is stuffed with priceless Kennedy family memorabilia, like a walnut-framed massage table used by JFK, a Louis XV mahogany table and furniture framed by the mansion’s architect, Addison Mizner. JFK even wrote his famous best-seller “Profiles in Courage” at the mansion, which was sold by its next owner, John K. Castle, in May 2015 for $31 million. Now, it’s the home’s furnishings that are up for grabs! The sale at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers of Palm Beach starts Jan. 23, and the bids — by phone, online or…

LIAR! That’s what insiders are saying about Cuba Gooding Jr.’s claim he broke into tears over O.J. Simpson’s victims, ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman. Cuba — who plays the disgraced football star in the 10-episode FX series “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson” — isn’t convincing anyone with his weepy tale, sources say. “Cuba’s crying crocodile tears,” a source tells GLOBE, adding the actor is trying to have it both ways. The dramatic sobbing doesn’t square with the star’s response when O.J. was acquitted of the June 1994 double murder on Oct. 3, 1995. After the verdict, Cuba says, “I was just so relieved that another black man got away from the injustice that was the L.A.P.D. I was just so relieved that they didn’t…

TROUBLED Michael Weatherly has quit “NCIS” in a desperate bid to save his family and life before he destroys it all with his out-of-control boozing. But leaving the show reportedly wasn’t totally his own choice. A source says following his November DUI bust, the 47-year-old hunk, who played Special Agent Tony DiNozzo on the hit series, “saw the writing on the wall and wanted to take command of the situation before he was forced out.” The handsome actor, who amassed a $15 million fortune during his 13 years on NCIS, also admitted worried pals were urging him to get help. Says a source: “Friends are telling him to go into rehab and get ahold of his life.” He especially wants to “be there” for his wife Bojana and their children…

QUEEN Elizabeth will leave the royal family poor when she dies after blowing through her fabulous $2 BILLION fortune to support her addiction to horse racing, pomp and circumstance — and bailing her shameless kids out of shocking scandals! The 89-year-old monarch is nearly penniless, insiders tell GLOBE, and worried creditors are demanding immediate cash payment! If Her Majesty’s IOUs prove worthless, the people and businesses holding her notes will go public — and that will spell the END of the House of Windsor, sources reveal. Despite seemingly vast holdings, much of the property and items — including the Crown Jewels, estates and castles — Elizabeth uses to project her royal image actually DO NOT belong to her. They are held in trust for the British people, and as the…

KATHIE LEE Gifford is having a boozy emotional meltdown months after her beloved husband Frank Gifford’s sudden death, pals fear. The 62-year-old “Today” cohost, who removed her wedding band just seven weeks after her mate met his end, is now caught in a living nightmare. Pals say she’s trying to face the future while being haunted by the past. “She didn’t give herself time to grieve properly,” says a source. “She took off her ring way too soon after Frank’s passing. She told friends Frank would want her to fall in love again and not be alone. But it seems to have backfired. She’s wearing her wedding band again and trying to cope with life as a lonely widow.” Her pain is evident, friends say. Kathie Lee bared her emotional…

GREEDY gay porn star David Enrique Meza lured his wealthy sugar daddy Jake Clyde Merendino into a sizzling romance and tricked him into signing away his fortune — before knifing him to death on a dark, lonely highway, charges the FBI. All the while, the 25-year-old hunk’s pregnant galpal Taylor Marie Langford, 20, was in on the deadly scheme, say prosecutors. The X-rated stud, who called himself “Enrique Romo” when he starred in the gay video “Throb” by Raging Stallion Studios, and Langford were busted at their Imperial Beach apartment in San Diego on Dec. 23 and charged with the murderous plot. They’ve pleaded not guilty. Meza also claims to be Jake’s sole heir in a handwritten will penned four months before the bloody butchering of his 52-year-old male lover.…

AFTER pals warned him to “diet or die,” 300-pound William Shatner trimmed off 30 pounds — but sources say it’s too late! The 84-year-old star, who played iconic Captain James Kirk on “Star Trek,” is still a whale-sized 270 pounds — a good 100 pounds off the 5-foot-8 actor’s normal weight. “It’s just too much for a man his age,” says a pal. “Bill is making a courageous effort to trim, but he’s got a long way to go. “And at 84, the strain on his heart, knees and hips has to be overwhelming. It’ll be a miracle if he lives long enough to get rid of what he needs to.” Shatner was a dashing 170 pounds when he first starred as handsome Capt. Kirk in the 1960s TV space…

GOP poster gal Sarah Palin flew into a fit of fury and blasted her daughter Bristol’s ex-fiance — a U.S. war hero — after he filed for joint custody of their love child AND also asked for support payments! The court action set Granny Sarah raging against baby daddy Dakota Meyer, 27, a Marine Medal of Honor winner for his heroism in Afghanistan. “Dakota Meyer … has wanted nothing to do with either Bristol’s pregnancy or the baby,” charges Sarah, a self-proclaimed Pitbull in Lipstick. Bristol, 25, who gave birth to their daughter, Sailor Grace, on Dec. 23, slammed her ex-lover, snorting that “a real American hero doesn’t ask for child support.” Ironically, while Sarah is a champion of family values, the baby is Bristol’s second love child. She had…

PLEASE pray for Barbara! That’s the desperate plea from friends who fear “Perry Mason” star Barbara Hale is bravely facing her last days. The health of the wheelchair-bound 93-year-old actress has deteriorated dramatically in recent months and she was hospitalized in serious condition in November. “We were worried this was the end and she wouldn’t be coming home,” says a friend. “It was a day-to-day thing. “But Barbara is a fighter and she incredibly recovered enough to be discharged. “Now we are praying for her. She has beaten the odds before — she can do it again.” Barbara, who played Raymond Burr’s confidential secretary, Della Street, on the hit TV series from 1957-66, and in “Perry Mason” movies that aired between 1985 and 1995, made a miraculous recovery from deadly…

YOU BE THE JUDGE: IS CREEPY COSBY CHEATING JUSTICE? Cast your vote, Pages 30-31 RUTHLESS NBC executives engaged in a sick cover-up to protect their million-dollar man Bill Cosby from being exposed as an evil sexual predator! That’s the word from network insiders who are finally breaking their silence. The star of “The Cosby Show,” which generated billions of dollars as the top-rated series from 1984 to 1992 and a rerun juggernaut, has finally been indicted for sexual assault charges in Pennsylvania. And if the NBC brass hadn’t turned a blind eye to Cosby’s hush-money payments to victims, his serial rape spree may have ended, a stunned worker says. “There’s no doubt they could have applied pressure to Cosby to get help and stop his sick behavior,” says the insider.…

OUTRAGED by President Barack Obama’s bungling and treachery, GLOBE readers are demanding his impeachment by a whopping 35-to-1 margin! In response to a poll question published in GLOBE’s Dec. 28, 2015 issue, readers voted overwhelmingly to ask Congress to boot the Commander-in-Chief — RIGHT NOW! Reader Rowena Vanmeter of Harrod, Ohio, backed impeachment, saying, “He has done enough damage to America. Get him out of office!” And Ron Graham of Tacoma, Wash., writes, “Do it now before it’s too late!” A political insider reveals, “GLOBE’s poll results prove Americans don’t trust Obama. They believe he’s a liar and traitor who has sold us out to terrorists, which GLOBE has repeatedly documented. Voters don’t believe him — or even like him. “Unfortunately, GLOBE readers’ demand for impeachment is too late. The…

BOUNTY hunter Kevin Watkins’ slaughter of two teen boys and disposal of their bodies was so gruesome that brains, blood and body parts were found splattered all over his yard and in his SUV, charge cops. The horrific crime triggered raw emotions as a brawl broke out between the victims’ families and the suspect’s relatives outside the Indianapolis, Ind., court where the 49-year-old bondsman faced a judge. The family feud ended when cops put an end to the violence. Watkins insists he didn’t kill Dionne Williams, 16, and his pal Timmee Jackson, 15. But police say the teens were murdered because Watkins’ believed they burglarized his home in mid-December! Court papers say the bounty hunter’s daughter warned Williams’ girlfriend the youth “has got another thing coming.” Then Watkins tracked down…

MOVIE director and convicted child rapist Roman Polanski developed a taste for kinky power-crazed sex by tormenting his stunning wife Sharon Tate! A shocking new book, “Sharon Tate: A Life,” claims pervy Polanski satisfied his lust with wild threesomes and filming sordid homemade sex videos with his buddies! Domineering Polanski involved his “valley of the Dolls” star wife in drugs, orgies and sex tapes he would circulate through Tinseltown, the book says. Sharon was in the process of leaving Polanski — who had an affair when she refused to abort their child. But sadly, Sharon was horrifically stabbed to death by cult leader Charles Manson while eight months pregnant. Polanski’s sexcapades were a warm-up for the “Rosemary’s Baby” director, who fled the U.S. in 1978 before being sentenced for raping…

WITH his golf game in shambles and his heart still broken over being dumped by his ski champ lover, Lindsey Vonn, Tiger Woods has now been spurned by his kids — on national TV! When an interviewer asked Tiger’s daughter Sam, 8, and son Charlie, 6, who they’d rather be — their famous golfer dad or Argentina’s superstar soccer player Lionel Messi — the kids embarrassed their dad by telling millions of viewers they’d pick the ball kicker. “Messi,” Sam immediately says with a big smile and a giggle. After pausing, Charlie chimes in: “Messi.” Then, apparently aware Dad’s golf game has become a disaster — Tiger has plunged in the rankings from No. 1 to a humiliating No. 416 — Charlie adds: “He’s [Lionel] playing.” An insider says the…
