NORTH Korea’s bloodthirsty tyrant Kim Jongun, who murders rivals, starves his people and threatens the U.S. with nuclear war, wasn’t a monster as a kid — he was a nerd and slow learner at his exclusive Swiss schools. Author Anna Fifield argues Kim, 38, who had his uncle and half-brother assassinated along with other political rivals, would have been a mildmannered loser if he hadn’t returned to North Korea. “Kim’s years in Switzerland, during which he was enrolled in both a tony private school and a small German-speaking public school, would have taught him that if he were to live in the outside world, he would have been entirely unremarkable,” says Fifield, who declares he would’ve been “a nobody.” Kim was 12 when he arrived in Bern, Switzerland, in August…

OSCAR-WINNING director Paul Haggis has been busted by Italian cops after a woman accused him of raping her for more than two days!

But when she turned up to work at the Allora Film Festival, the woman says instead of giving her a job, “he raped me from Sunday evening to Wednesday. I was raped for days.” When her ordeal was over, Haggis dropped his accuser off in a “precarious emotional and physical condition” at Papola Casale airport at dawn, a local prosecutor charges. She was found…

PLAYBOY Prince Andrew is caught in a new legal mess created by another victim of murdered sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein! Just months after the prince paid an estimated $16 million to settle a rape charge filed by a teenage sex slave who claims she was pimped out to the royal, American attorney Spencer Kuvin reportedly plans to subpoena Queen Elizabeth’s disgraced favorite son to reveal what he knows about then-17-year-old Caroline Kaufman’s encounters with Epstein. Now 28, Caroline says she was raped by Epstein at his Manhattan digs in December 2010 — while Andrew was staying in his perverted best buddy’s mansion, too. Kuvin hopes to have a subpoena for Andrew’s testimony issued by a U.S. court and then serve the rogue royal in Britain because he “should be a fairly…

UNHINGED Riverdale actor Ryan Grantham executed his own mother to “save her” from witnessing his intended plot to assassinate Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, prosecutors charge. Grantham, 24, snuck up on Barbara Waite, 64, as she played piano in her British Columbia home in 2020 and pumped a bullet into her head, lawmen say, insisting he then covered his mom’s lifeless body with a sheet and placed rosaries and candles around her corpse. Next, according to authorities, Grantham packed his car with guns, ammunition and 12 Molotov cocktails intending to drive to Ottawa’s Rideau Cottage, where Trudeau resides with his wife and three kids.

SHAKY Sandra Bullock admits she’s on the knife’s edge and feels she must step away from acting — because she’s so frazzled she fears she’ll make terrible life choices! “I’m so burnt out.

THE revolutionary technology behind America’s most popular COVID-19 vaccines is being harnessed to develop a cure for heart attacks, scientists say. Researchers at King’s College London are working toward adapting messenger RNA (mRNA) — molecules that carry genetic information and are vital to protein production — to help generate healthy human heart cells. Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines utilize mRNA to teach the body’s cells to replicate proteins that trigger an immune response to fight the deadly disease. Lead researcher Professor Mauro Giacca explains, “We are all born with a set number of muscle cells in our heart, and they are exactly the same ones we will die with. The heart has no capacity to repair itself after a heart attack. Our goal has been to find a treatment that…

VETERAN actor Martin Sheen says he “regrets” using a stage name instead of his original moniker, Ramon Estevez. The 81-year-old actor, who starred in Apocalypse Now and played President Josiah Bartlet on TV’s The West Wing, notes his real name is still on his passport and driver’s license. But Sheen, whose family comes from Galicia, Spain, admits the name change was supposedly to help his career, saying: “Sometimes you get persuaded when you don’t have enough insight or even enough courage to stand up for what you believe in, and you pay for it later.” His actor son Carlos changed his name to Charlie Sheen, 56, but the family patriarch convinced oldest actor son Emilio Estevez, 60, to keep his name. “When he started out, his agent was advising him…

THE biggest tragedy in Charlie Sheen’s sordid, disgraceful life isn’t the destructive behavior that led to his HIV infection, it’s what’s happening to his teen daughter Sami. Just after turning 18, Sami announced she’s becoming a performer on an internet porn site — and posted teasing bikini shots with a promise to bare more skin on the X-rated hangout. Charlie — who’s lived one of the wildest and most irresponsible lives in Hollywood history — immediately reacted by basically saying, It’s not my fault! Instead, he initially heaped blame on her mom, his ex Denise Richards, the former Bond girl and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star. “She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof,” Charlie said before later flip-flopping…

SEX creep Bill Cosby’s Donkey Kong defense flopped — a California civil jury ruled the disgraced TV dad sexually abused a 16-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 and owes her $500,000! At trial, Cosby’s lawyers suggested accuser Judy Huth, now 64, and her key witness, Donna Samuelson, a high school friend who also attended the Playboy event, mischaracterized things. Donna testified she played Donkey Kong in the game room while Cosby took Huth into a bedroom — where the 37-year-old actor put his hand down Judy’s pants and forced her to fondle him. Cosby’s lawyers said it couldn’t have happened — because the video game wasn’t released until 1982! But the jury found Cosby’s conduct was “driven by unnatural or abnormal sexual interest in a minor.” Cosby, 84,…
