FORMER screen siren Melanie Griffith dumped three studly hubbies, but the aging beauty now says it wasn’t their fault — like a caged wildcat, she just needed to be free! The 64-year-old sexpot from Working Girl and Body Double was married to actor Steven Bauer from 1981 to 1988, wed Don Johnson twice, in 1976 and 1989, and was Spanish stallion Antonio Banderas’ wife from 1996 to 2014. Each time she divorced, Melanie blamed her exes. But following her split from Banderas, Melanie realized she just might not be the marrying type! She says the explosive revelation came while visiting her mom, Tippi Hedren, the star of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller The Birds, at her wildlife rescue retreat in northern California. “Melanie watched a tiger pace back and forth in…

GARCELLE FUELS WHOOPI FEUD BevHills Housewife GARCELLE BEAUVAIS has a horrible view of The View, grousing her 2015 audition for the ABC morning chat show became a nightmare, thanks to mean girl hosts including “testy” head honcho WHOOPI GOLDBERG! “I was shocked and appalled to see how testy Whoopi was with the show’s producers,” recalls the 55-year-old reality star in her new autobiography, Love Me as I Am. “I was embarrassed and disappointed, to say the least. It was cringeworthy!” In her tell-all, Garcelle describes vying for the job as ROSIE O’DONNELL’s replacement. “Here I was the eager new kid in class and I ran smack dab into the reality of an uninviting workplace,” she grouses, adding Whoopi, ROSIE PEREZ and NICOLE WALLACE would contradict most of her comments. “The…

Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw! Here are ten things you don’t know about the Pennsylvania native. 1 A second-grade teacher told him he’d never graduate high school and he’d be a juvenile delinquent. 2 As a teen, he played alto saxophone in a rock band and was a drummer for a church youth group. 3 He started acting in high school because he thought the drama teacher was “pretty hot.” 4 He used to have a “big crush” on Groundhog Day’s Andie MacDowell. 5 At age 20, he was ejected from a friend’s car during a…

TIGHTWAD Tom Selleck is worth an estimated $45 million and pockets a whopping $500,000 per Blue Bloods episode, but sources squeal he frets over every penny and hoards his dough like a miser. The 77-year-old stud hit it big at 35 when he scored Magnum, P.I., which ran from 1980 to 1988, and has been socking away cash ever since from flicks like Three Men and a Baby, TV commercials and his current cop drama that began in 2010. But an insider snitches the 6-foot-4 hunk’s “philosophy is every dollar saved is a dollar earned and that hasn’t changed even though he’s one of the richest TV stars around.” The father of Kevin, 56, with first wife Jacqueline Ray and Hannah, 33, with wife Jillie Mack, claims he’s still “got…

IF SWIMMERS don’t think it’s safe to go back in the water off the Jersey Shore, it’s no wonder — a gigantic 1,000-pound great white shark named Ironbound is cruising the coastline — again! The razor-toothed 12-foot, 998-pound beast was spotted off the Garden State’s coast at 10:30 p.m. on April 23. He was seen again about ten days later prowling waters in close proximity to the area terrorized by the maneaters that inspired Steven Spielberg’s classic 1975 flick Jaws. In the 1916 attacks, four people were devoured by sharks — and one victim survived — while swimming. So far Ironbound hasn’t come too close to shore. Ocean researcher Bob Hueter has been following the monster since tagging him with a tracking device off the coast of Nova Scotia in…

FORMER Wonder Years child star Fred Savage has been axed from a reboot of the classic family sitcom — where he was producer-director — due to claims of abusive behavior. Savage, 45, who starred on the original show from 1988 to 1993, was fired from the Disney reboot following an investigation into charges of “inappropriate behavior.” After the probe “the decision was made to terminate his employment as an executive producer and director of The Wonder Years,” a spokesman says. But a source adds: “Details about the nature of the allegations are unclear, but I hear they included verbal outbursts and inappropriate behavior.” The recent scandal isn’t the first to rock Savage, who was aged 12 to 17 years when he played Kevin Arnold on the original series. In 2018,…

CHEATER Prince Albert of Monaco trotted out his troubled wife, Princess Charlene, like a show pony for a second public appearance — but the blond beauty wasn’t smiling and the two never touched. The 44-year-old princess, her seven-year-old twins, Jacques and Gabriella, and Albert, 64, appeared at the Sainte Dévote Rugby Tournament for under-12 players a week following her first public outing with the family at a car racing event. While Albert was beaming — as if showing off a loving, tight-knit family — Charlene hugged and cuddled her kids while never touching the prince or cracking a smile, sparking speculation she’d been turned into a modern-day brainwashed Stepford Wife. Her two unsmiling public appearances were the first for Charlene since January 2021, when she split for her native South…

PRINCE CHARLES began his takeover of the monarchy by officially opening Parliament for the first time, replacing his badly ailing mom, Queen Elizabeth. But the 73-year-old Prince of Wales was only a stand-in for his 96-year-old mom, who missed the official ritual for only the second time in her 70 years as monarch on May 10. The official palace spin was the queen had mobility problems, which is no surprise to GLOBE readers. We recently reported Elizabeth was so frail, she needed a cane, but mostly used a wheelchair and a mobility scooter. We also noted king-in-waiting Charles has been secretly taking charge behind the scenes. “Get ready to see more and more of Charles and less and less of the queen,” says a royal source. “Charles is already the…

IN HOLLYWOOD, some things never change, according to Speechless star MINNIE DRIVER, who isn’t zipping her lips about showbiz cruelty. The British brunette recalls being “devastated” when a Good Will Hunting producer scoffed she wasn’t “hot enough” to play MATT DAMON’s leading lady in the smash 1997 flick during her early turn in Tinseltown. Ironic since Matt, now 51, sure found her hot enough to be his real-life girlfriend! “It was devastating to be told at 26 you’re not sexy when you maybe just got over all your teenage angst, and started to think, you know, maybe in the right light and the right shoes and the right dress, I’m all right,” gushes the Oscar-nominated actress, 52. “And by the way, that is something that has not changed — there…

A DERANGED dad is charged with brutally bashing in his teenage daughter’s head with a metal pole and rubber mallet — because he didn’t want her to go to her high school prom! “I lost my mind, went out of control, and beat the sh*t out of her,” cops say Mohammed Almaru wrote to one of his sons, apparently confessing to pounding 17-year-old Mia Maro to a pulp.

The General Hospital alum, 51 — who shares three kids with diet guru Sheree Gustin, his spouse of 23 years, dropped his bombshell online. “I wanted to clear something up. Sheree and I are separated,” he says. “She recently announced that she’s expecting her fourth child.

Logano’s victory in the Goodyear 400 was sweet, but he was slammed for tacky tactics by bitter Byron. On the second to last lap, Logano ran down Byron and bumped him, sending his car crashing into the wall and blowing out two tires. “Yeah, he’s just a moron. He can’t win a race, so he does it that way,” Byron was heard griping after finishing 13th. But Logano fired back insisting Byron took the lead by trying to squeeze him into the wall about 20 laps before. “You have to do that in that situation,” Logano says. “I’m not going to get bullied.

The 64-year-old star’s long-running gabfest ends May 26, two years after multiple ex-staffers charged the work culture on her hit The Ellen DeGeneres Show was riddled with racism, bullying and intimidation.

The ruling orders the Stronger singer to “turn off all web-cams, trail cams, and any other security cameras, approximately 13 in total” and give proof of “how that was accomplished.” Blackstock, 45, won the right to live at the spread until June 1 while paying $12,500 a month in rent. That’s chicken feed next to the whopping $115,000 monthly stipend the 40-year-old singer has to pay him until January 2024 under their settlement.

LOCO North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un must feel he’s losing control because he just ordered a crackdown on Western fashion styles — banning tight jeans, long dyed hair and piercings. Slamming European and U.S. styles as “decadent,” Kim’s fashion police — the “Youth Patrol” — are especially going after gals aged between 20 and 30 years wearing body-hugging jeans, say sources. Youth Patrol agents bust them for sporting “capitalist” fashions like waist-length hair dyed brown and pencil-leg jeans. Offenders are hustled to the Youth Patrol headquarters, where they’re forced to write confessions and publicly shamed. “In the most severe cases, the violator’s name, home address and workplace will be revealed” over loudspeakers, blabs a source. Kim has declared Western fashions and speech are “dangerous poisons.”…
