In a shocking social media video, the 28-year-old Love Yourself singer showed the extent of the damage — he was unable to blink his right eye and couldn’t move that side of his face. “The virus attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” he reveals. “Can’t believe I’m saying this. I’ve done everything to get better, but my sickness is getting worse.” As a result, Bieber canceled dates on his Justice World Tour to recover from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, caused by the chickenpox and shingles virus.

FRISBEE fanatic Sean Thomas McGuinness, who made an honest living retrieving flying discs from a Florida lake, was gobbled up by a gator while trying to do his job! The 47-year-old’s gruesome remains were found partially eaten — missing three of his four limbs — in Largo’s Taylor Lake days after he’d waded into murky water to salvage a disc from a nearby frisbee golf course.

But in reality, experts say sketchy dealers hunt down long-buried bones of the giant beasts and peddle them to deeppocketed dilettantes! A-listers Leonardo DiCaprio, 47, and Nicolas Cage, 58, were both gunning for a Tyrannosaurus bataar skull when the rare fossil came up for sale in 2007. Cage won the bidding battle and forked over a whopping $276,000 — without knowing the 70-million-year-old item was pilfered from Mongolia! “I bought it legally,” says the National Treasure stud, who obtained the piece from a Beverly Hills…

Now Amarillo officials are desperately trying to tamp down raising public alarm over the freaky footage — captured around 1:30 a.m. at the Amarillo Zoo — showing a strange beast walking on two legs like a human, but with a wolf’s head! Bureaucrats are suggesting the image could be “a person with a strange hat, “a large coyote on its hind legs” or even a “chupacabra, a legendary vampire-like creature that attacks and drains the blood of cattle and goats.” But a source claims authorities know they’re actually hunting a werewolf-like monster and fear announcing their concerns could trigger real danger by inspiring armed vigilante bands to…
