MATRIX star Jada Pinkett Smith confesses that while her life “on paper looked grand,” she was plagued by “bouts of depression” and “despair.” Will Smith’s wife says she plunged into a dark pit of “hopelessness” when she turned 40 in 2011 about the time her series Hawthorne, where she played a single mom and nurse, was ending its three-year run. “On paper, it all looked grand.

Jennifer McBride, 53, pleaded no contest to receiving stolen property after handing back purloined pups Koji and Gustav in 2021 — but argued the hitmaker’s “no questions asked” cash offer meant she could pocket the bounty!

Of course, the coupling of America’s reigning pop queen and the All-Pro football jock, which could as easily end an hour from now as in several years, is like a dream come true for them and the world’s romantics!

James T. Kirk,” an insider spills. Sources claim Shatner’s nose is also out of joint over all the noise Stewart’s memoir, Making It So, is getting, especially since the title is borrowed from his character Capt.

Kennedy Jr. in their scheme to derail another run for the White House by aging President Joe Biden, Washington, D.C., insiders tell GLOBE.

In his memoir, Spare, Harry writes he’d gotten permission to have chin hair from his granny Queen Elizabeth for the May 2018 event, but his big brother “bristled” at the idea. “A beard was thought by some to be a clear violation of protocol, especially since I was getting married in my Army uniform,” writes Harry. “Beards were forbidden in the British Army.” William told him, “Not the done thing. Military rules.” When Harry said he’d gotten permission from the queen, William “became livid.” Harry claims William “wouldn’t let it go” and argued with him “for more than a week,” ordering him to shave.

COUNTRY icon Dolly Parton is notorious for her trampy look and says her preacher grandpa Jake Owens would whup her when she was a girl for the way she dressed. Still, that didn’t stop the perky musical talent from donning high heels and tight skirts that she copied from “the town tramp.” “I was willing to pay for it,” says the 77-year-old singer. “It hurt my feelings so bad to be scolded or whipped or whatever.

In the case of one man, “the elders were coming in his driveway to speak with him about something that they heard that he might have to get…

NASCAR is on a collision course with disaster as its popularity fades, sponsors flee and drivers get caught up in deadly feuds, insiders tell GLOBE. Once poised to overtake the National Football League as America’s favorite pastime, the sport is now tilting toward doom as revenue dips, TV ratings continue to fall and former fans shun attending the races. “NASCAR is at a crisis point in its history,” a veteran racing source tells GLOBE. “The world is changing. While NASCAR has tried to change along with it, many people look at it as a throwback sport that isn’t as relevant as it once was — and the dollars are flying out the window.” The source notes that in 2005, 60 percent of NASCAR’s sponsorship revenue came from Fortune 500 companies.…
