The Not Fair thrush says the mutt she and Stranger Things hubby DAVID HARBOUR adopted from Animal Haven cost her a fortune and a lot of aggravation by gnawing her and her daughters’ passports and visas to shreds. Beside the dough, the loss of travel docs marooned the 39-year-old singer and daughters ETHEL, 12, and MARNIE, 11, in the U.S. “Because the father of my children [her ex SAM COOPER] lives in England, I couldn’t take them back to see their dad for like four months, five months, because this f***ing dog had eaten the passports.

SIX years ago Selena Gomez was in deep despair and hit rock bottom, but the courageous young songbird has bounced back and is now on top of the world! The 32-year-old actress-singer plummeted into darkness in 2018 following a painful breakup with her first love, superstar Justin Bieber, and a devastating struggle with systemic lupus forcing her to undergo a lifesaving kidney transplant. “It was a terrible year for Selena,” says a friend of the singer. “She had just gone through a painful breakup with Justin and following the surgery, she gained weight due to prescribed medications, and became the target of fat-shamers. “Selena was overwhelmed with everything going on in her life. So, she put her career on hold, and took a break from social media and public appearances.”…

HANGOVER star Nathalie Fay got busted for allegedly punching her on-again, off-again boyfriend in the face. The man, who was identified only as Brady, had gone to pick up Fay, 36, for a Miami Dolphins preseason game.

The former actress, who played Lisa in the hit flick and now works as a real estate agent, was arrested on domestic battery charges.…

MINERS have unearthed the second largest diamond ever discovered — a nearly 2,500-carat stone experts say could fetch tens of millions of dollars! The 2,492-carat rock — incredibly weighing just over a pound — was found by Canadian mining firm Lucara using X-ray technology in Botswana’s Karowe mine about 300 miles north of the African nation’s capital, Gaborone. The grandeur of the immense gem is obvious from photos showing it occupying much of an adult’s palm and dwarfing a golf ball. Sources say its size is only lacking when compared to the largest sparkler ever found — the gargantuan 3,106-carat Cullinan Diamond, unearthed in 1905 in neighboring South Africa. Lucara CEO William Lamb says he and his company were “ecstatic” over the stunning discovery.…

PERSNICKETY Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino trashed bigmouth Alec Baldwin — saying the movie cowboy bears some of the blame for the fatal on-set shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins! Tarantino, 61, roars the lion’s share of responsibility for the tragic October 2021 accident in New Mexico lies with the Western’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was accused of unwittingly loading a prop gun with live bullets. But the filmmaker says Baldwin, who was holding the weapon when it discharged, isn’t totally in the clear! “It’s a situation, I think I’m being fair enough to say, that the armorer — the guy who handles the gun — is 90 percent responsible for everything that happens when it comes to that gun. But, but, but, but, but the actor is 10 percent…

WEDDING bells are going to be ringing in the very near future for Zendaya and Tom Holland, insiders spill! The crazy-in-love couple have had an under-the-radar romance since 2016 when Tom and Zendaya, both 28, were cast in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Although they were on-and-off for a time, “they have been exclusive now for more than five years, and marriage has been part of the conversation for a while now,” a source confirms. “Tom’s immature partying days are long behind him,” a spy adds. The English-born star “has spent years proving to Zendaya he can be a really great partner and potentially an excellent father. Now they’ve got some time off before the next Spider-Man gears up, so he’s never going to have a clearer path to formally propose and much more…

The 6-foot-2 former heman known as Bruce Jenner now walks with an “obvious hunch,” because she has “always felt self-conscious about her height,” tattles a tipster. Although the star’s rep blasts our report as “completely false,” the tipster dishes, “She hates towering over everyone, so she’s stooped all her life, and it’s had a debilitating effect on her bones.” The 74-year-old reality star and father of six kids with three ex-wives has also been secretly battling osteoarthritis for decades and confesses it causes her “constant pain.” Caitlyn — who has admitted undergoing gender-switching surgery on her top and…

STUNNING Blake Lively comes off like a natural California beauty, but nip/tuck experts say the actress and mom of Deadpool hunk Ryan Reynolds’ four tykes has subtly reworked her eyes, nose, lips and teeth to create a gorgeous mug. The 37-year-old hottie — currently embroiled in a tiff with the director of her hit domestic-violence flick It Ends with Us, claiming he was abusive to females on the set — has never admitted to getting her puss altered.

Although Plasencia can hang his shingle again, he can no longer write prescriptions for…

THE 1948 slapstick horror movie Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein was a giant hit at the box office — and a nightmare for everyone else! LOU COSTELLO hated the script, saying, “My five-year-old daughter can write something better,” and only agreed to do it for a $50,000 advance on his percentage. “The REAL monsters were Abbott and Costello,” director Charles Barton later said, citing the dueling duo’s spats. And Boris Karloff, the original “Frankenstein’s monster” — who was not in the film — only agreed to help with promotion “as long as I don’t have to see the movie!”…

CLOUT-CRAVING Bill Gates cozied up to sex creep Jeffrey Epstein because he thought the well-connected financier could help him win the Nobel Peace Prize — but the tech tycoon’s friendship with the late pedophile ruined his reputation and wrecked his 27-year marriage! Those shocking claims are made by writer Anupreeta Das in Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King, her dishy book about the Microsoft co-founder. According to Das, Gates, 68, desperately desired the accolade for his foundation’s work toward wiping out polio. But she spills Epstein exploited the do-gooder’s wish in order to “tunnel” his way into the bespectacled businessman’s “orbit” — and meet other well-heeled hotshots!

HELLCAT Allexis Ferrell trampled a helpless tabby to death in Ohio — and ate the battered kitty’s carcass in front of her horrified neighbors, investigators say. According to police, feral Ferrell repeatedly stomped on the head of a cat in Canton outside the public housing complex where she lives — then feasted on the mangled mouser’s remains! Officers allege the savage sourpuss was discovered with blood on her feet and hands — and fur on her lips! Court records do not reveal whether the animal was a stray or someone’s pet. Ferrell was arrested and charged with prohibitions concerning companion animals, a fifth-degree felony, and misdemeanor charges of injuring animals and disorderly conduct by reason of intoxication. She’s being held in Stark County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. The local…

Aspirin blocks colon cancer + TAKING two aspirins a week could reduce the chance of developing colon cancer among individuals with an unhealthy lifestyle, a study suggests. Researchers from Mass General Brigham hospital found couch potatoes — especially overweight smokers — saw their cancer risk shrink from 3.4 percent to 2.1 after regularly downing a pair of standard 325 mg tablets — or six 81 mg low-dose pills — every seven days. Scientists believe the OTC med inhibits disease-causing inflammation and promotes beneficial gut bacteria.

He doesn’t mind letting his beard go gray, but he dyes his hair at least once a week…

THE arrests of five people in connection with the drug-related death of Friends star Matthew Perry — who was found face down in his hot tub last October — once again raise the sticky question: Who’s to blame? Certainly two Dr. Feelgood physicians, who allegedly provided syringes and access to drugs, Matthew’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, accused of giving Perry the kill shot, and his alleged dealers Erik Fleming and Jasveen Sangha, a blond hottie known in Tinseltown as “The Ketamine Queen,” should all be held responsible IF found guilty. But sadly, Matthew Perry, the junkie, is probably the guiltiest party and he’s paid the ultimate price — death. But like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and other celebs who set up a creepy network for getting and using illegal drugs, Matthew…
