PRETTY Little Liars beauty Sasha Pieterse packed on a scale-busting 70 pounds in just two years — but says a hormone imbalance disorder is to blame for her massive weight gain! On the Sept. 26 episode of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, the 21-year-old actress — who’s paired with pro Gleb Savchenko for season 25 — revealed polycystic ovary syndrome is behind her fuller figure. “It was really hurtful the way people reacted. People were saying stuff like: ‘She’s pregnant.’ ‘You’re fat.’ They were mad I looked like this,” says the plus-size star, who’s been signed to reprise her Pretty Little Liars character Alison DiLaurentis in the upcoming spin-off The Perfectionists. After dropping 15 pounds since joining the dance contest, Sasha says, “I’m feeling like me again.”…

RESEARCHERS have discovered a popular type 2 diabetes drug may help obese people drop weight — and avoid expensive gastric bypass surgery! Scientists at the Mayo Clinic studied 40 patients and found liraglutide, a selfinjected prescription medication sold under the name Victoza, helped trial subjects drop an average of 12 pounds over three months — nearly twice the amount lost by those taking placebos! Liraglutide has been shown to slow down the stomach from emptying and to keep people feeling fuller for longer, altering their appetites. Study author Dr. Michael Camilleri notes weight loss can be aided by monitoring how quickly a patient’s stomach processes food after two months on the drug. This analysis, he says, presents an “opportunity to individualize treatment based on the unique response of the patient,”…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE YOU READ IT HERE FIRST! LAME-BRAIN actor Steven Seagal sounds like he has a black belt — in stupidity! The traitorous secondrate action star has been babbling about American politics, patriotism and what the U.S. flag means to him. But the idea of the Michiganborn martial artist yapping about America is both hilarious — and OUTRAGEOUS. Why? Because slimeball Seagal — as GLOBE previously reported — has turned his back on his native land and become a Russian citizen! Not only that, but turncoat Steve loves whispering sweet nothings to the Kremlin’s kingpin and goon-in-chief Vladimir Putin — who awarded Seagal citizenship in his evil empire! The dishonorable 65-yearold star calls Vlad “one of the greatest world leaders” and his “brother.” Even more disturbing is Seagal’s…

AFTER losing a fortune in bad investments, dying superstar Cher has stooped to hawking “everyday” duds for the clothing company Gap — and pals fear she’s going broke! The songbird, 71, shocked insiders by signing on to sing Everyday People in ads for the Meet Me in the Gap campaign. “It’s a ridiculous idea because Cher is a superstar and NOT an everyday person,” an insider dishes to GLOBE. “Cher is a glamorous diva who wears Bob Mackie. She must be desperate for cash.” Sources say the entertainer, who’s also belting tunes at Vegas’ Monte Carlo Resort, is “taking odd jobs to help pay the bills.” The Oscar winner’s fortune had once been estimated at a staggering $305 million! But frail Cher, who’s battled a killer virus for years, recently…

GENERAL HOSPITAL star Laura Wright has bounced back from her divorce in a new romance with a younger man, Wes Ramsey, who has appeared on Guiding Light and Days of Our Lives. “He’s seven years younger than me, let’s just put it out there,” Laura says. “People are going, ‘He’s such a boy toy!’ I’m like, ‘He’s seven years younger!’ And in your 40s, I don’t know how big of a deal that is.” Because Wes has a youthful appearance, Laura jokes, “Sometimes when we take pictures together, I’m like, ‘Stop smiling! You look like you’re 12! Look angry; you’ll look older!’ ” The two connected at the Daytime Emmys back in April, “And that was it,” she adds. “We’ve been together ever since ... I…

THE LEGENDS YOU LOVE EVERY WEEK! SPUNKY country queen Loretta Lynn has bounced back from the dead, after friends and family feared her devastating May 4 stroke would end her career — and even her life! But less than five months later, on Oct. 1, the amazing 85-year-old music icon wowed fans by hitting the concert stage and belting out signature hits like Coal Miner’s Daughter at a music festival on her Hurricane Mills Ranch in Tennessee. Incredibly, she showed no ill effects from the stroke — which often causes paralysis and robs victims of speech. “We really thought we’d never see the day when Loretta would be back on stage singing again,” says a friend. “Even at her age, Loretta is as tough as nails.” Her situation looked hopeless…

Charged by her mom in a lawsuit with giving Cathriona herpes and driving her to suicide, Carrey claims his Irish-born lover lied when she told him the bumps on her vagina were an STD.

ONLY IN GLOBE! HOLLYWOOD hunk Robert Redford appears so weak and fatigued pals fear he may be secretly battling a ferocious return of the lethal polio that nearly killed him as a boy. The Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid star was seen struggling to get out of a vehicle as he arrived for the premiere his latest flick, Our Souls at Night, at New York’s Museum of Modern Art late last month. “His legs seemed about to buckle under him,” says an eyewitness. Sources say the 81-year-old star, once a college baseball player and longtime skier, now seems feeble and drained, which could be symptoms of post-polio syndrome (PPS), which hits about 80 percent of all people who survived the killer virus. “Bob’s friends have been concerned because he’s…

SCIENTISTS have discovered the ultimate buzz kill — a pill to help boozers stop drinking! The awkwardly named pill, arbaclofen placarbil — just saying the name could be a sobriety test — is designed to reduced the pleasure people feel when they drink alcohol, by helping to curb hooch cravings. The drink-dousing medicine is being developed by the British pharmaceutical company Indivior, and may hit the market as early as 2020. Researchers say the drug could be beneficial to alcoholics, aiding their battle against the bottle, as well as problem drinkers who are in denial about their boozing habits. Medications now in use to address alcohol addiction target opioid receptors in the brain, but arbaclofen placarbil is based on the French drug baclofen, a muscle relaxant and mild sedative that…

HORNDOG Macaulay Culkin is being accused of stealing Pure Genius hottie Brenda Song away from her on-again, offagain fiancé Trace Cyrus, brother of pop princess Miley. “Trace is telling everyone Macaulay’s a rotten douche who’s stolen his fiancée!” blabs an insider.

Now, Miley’s mega-tattooed 28-year-old brother is on the warpath and hell-bent for revenge. He’s been seeing Brenda on and off since 2011 — and their engagement was on hold. “In his mind he and Brenda were only on a break, and he had no idea she’d go off and date someone else,” says a source. “As far as he’s concerned this whole…

CONVICTED child rapist Roman Polanski is ranting that crooked judges forced him to live on the lam for four decades — because they were hiding the truth about his sex crimes! “The judges who dealt with the case the last 40 years were corrupted, one covering for another,” the Oscar winner, 84, charges. “Maybe one of them will stop doing it.” In 1977, the Chinatown director drugged and raped then 13-year-old Samantha Gailey — now named Geimer — at Jack Nicholson’s Hollywood home. The sex perv spent 42 days in jail, but fled to Paris when he learned a judge planned to rescind his plea deal and he faced up to 50 years in the clink. The tiny, whiny director says he’s spent 334 days in custody because of the…

ONLY IN GLOBE ONE-TIME America’s sweetheart Meg Ryan is back with ex-beau John Mellencamp, but she refuses to marry him — even though he keeps pestering her with proposals! “He is joking to friends that he just carries a ring around with him everywhere he goes,” says a spy. “He pops it out and gets down on one knee. “But she laughs and turns him down. Meg says that she never wants to get married again and that things are great the way they are now, and that’s enough.” It’s no wonder. Meg had a heartbreaking 2001 divorce from actor Dennis Quaid, dad of her son, Jack, 25, following 10 years of marriage.

CLORIS Leachman’s pals are terrified the quirky actress will scratch Joan Collins’ eyes out if the Dynasty vixen is brazen enough to attend a memorial service for producer George Englund, who was trapped in a love triangle with the Hollywood sirens! Cloris, now a feisty 91, was married to the Ugly American producer from 1953 to 1979 — and once caught the father of her five kids in bed with Collins! “Cloris has never forgiven — or forgotten — what Joan did,” says a pal. “ She still hates her to this day!” Now friends fear the Young Frankenstein legend will go berserk if she encounters Collins, 84, at next month’s memorial service for George, who died at age 91 on Sept. 14 after a bad fall. “Cloris says if…

REALITY bites for two of television’s biggest unscripted shows — the season debuts of Dancing with the Stars and The Voice have both pulled in their worst first-episode ratings EVER, and insiders say that could mean the end for the former primetime heavyweights! Dancing with the Stars got off to a rocky start, looking far from sure-footed with only 10.8 million viewers — and a shocking 19 percent drop among 18 to 49-year-olds from the previous season’s kickoff! “The big problem with DWTS is right there in the name — ‘stars.’ Their cast is lackluster. No real controversy or feelgood stories. No Olympic heroes. And no reason to tune in,” says one critic. “It’ll become a death spiral — if the show does poorly and big-name celebrities won’t sign, that…

BRITISH phenom LAURENCE OLIVIER made his movie bones starring in William Shakespeare plays — and copped an Oscar for this 1948 performance of Hamlet. Olivier — known as an actor’s actor — had plenty of drama when the cameras stopped, too. He divorced Gone with the Wind siren Vivien Leigh after a stormy 20-year marriage marked by her bouts with insanity and constant cheating. In 1960, he wed actress Joan Plowright, mother of his son and two daughters, then went broke! He was reduced to shilling Polaroid cameras — and branded a has-been ham. But Laurence reclaimed his reputation with dazzling work in Marathon Man and The Boys from Brazil before dying of kidney failure in 1989 at age 82.…
