The buff 47-year-old hunk was spied Dec. 7 hopping a jet with Caitlin at LAX for the Big Apple, where he took the actress, who’s appeared in the sitcoms Two and a Half Men and Ballers and the soap Days of Our Lives, to a Children of Armenia charity event at Manhattan’s Cipriani eatery.

STRIPTEASE stunner Demi Moore has tried to freshen up her look with more nips and tucks — but the beauty-conscious 61-year-old is going nutty over her drooping chipmunk cheeks, tipsters tell GLOBE. Demi recently showed off her fit figure at the Academy Museum Gala in L.A. — but spywitnesses snitch her sunken face left tongues wagging! “She’s in fantastic shape, and everyone tells her so — but her biggest hang-up is by far her sagging cheeks,” snitches an insider. “She obsesses about them, and it’s the first thing she talks about at the dermatologist’s office. She wants this and that done and wishes they would look more prominent.” In 2021, the Ghost gal displayed her dramatic cheekbones when she joined several other A-listers walking the runway at Fendi’s Spring/Summer show during Paris’…

They met in 2020 during a Zoom meditation session hosted by a former monk! Dawson’s Creek star JOSHUA JACKSON, 45, and Black Panther’s LUPITA NYONG’O, 40, were spotted holding hands at Erewhon Market, a California grocery hotspot for celebrities dying to spend $18 on smoothies with HAILEY BIEBER’s name on them!

FRAZZLED Prince William is hiding a shocking secret behind his megawatt smile and boyish charm — his bitter battle with royal renegades Prince Harry and Meghan has driven him to drink, stunned palace insiders say. And the future king’s boozing has put him on a collision course with his wife, Princess Kate, amid fears a growing dependence on alcohol could lead to a full-blown crisis for both the monarchy and their 12-year marriage, high ranking members of the royal inner circle tell GLOBE. “William is hitting the bottle — hard — to drown his sorrows and his rage over what he sees as a betrayal by his brother, Harry,” confides a well-placed courtier. “It’s not just beer. He’s knocking back the powerful stuff like Kamikaze cocktails on a nightly basis.…

 BLOWHARD Alec Baldwin, 65, has seven bambinos with fake Spanish wife Hilaria, 39 — but when it comes to the gal of his dreams, he calls Barbra Streisand “the hottest woman ever!” Stunned fans browbeat the actor for choosing the 81-year-old songbird over yoga instructor Hilaria, who pretended to be Spanish until it got out she was from Massachusetts. After Alec drooled over Barbra, one critic posted that Hilaria is “wishing she had pretended to be Jewish instead of Spanish.”…

BOSTON beauty Lauren Erickson Van Wart came to an ugly end when she was fatally mauled by a razor-toothed shark in the Bahamas — right in front of her horrified husband! Fellow vacationers witnessed the carefree couple paddleboarding less than a mile off the coast of Providence Island’s Cable Beach — minutes before Lauren’s chilling screams pierced the morning air and the sea ran red with blood! A jet ski operator, who declined to give his name, says he saw a 14-foot monster pull the doomed gal’s board underwater seconds before the savage attack! “It was crazy,” he recalls. According to Sergeant Desiree Ferguson, a lifeguard on duty immediately launched a boat rescue bringing ashore the mortally wounded 44-year-old and her spouse, Ernest. The officer says CPR was administered —…

RED-HOT Morgan Wallen’s country career is soaring to heights unattained by cowboy king Garth Brooks, but the Last Night singer’s turned into a recluse following a racist scandal that nearly destroyed his career. The 30-year-old, whose latest collection of songs, One Thing at a Time, became the first country album ever to top the pop charts for 16 weeks, used to be the life of the party. But now, he largely lays off the sauce and stays put on his Nashville farm with three-year-old son Indigo, whose mom is Morgan’s ex-fiancée KT Smith. “I play my shows, I hang out with my son, and I hide pretty much and I’m OK with that,” Wallen admits. “Everything has gotten so, so huge. I don’t really go to the grocery store. I…

A COURAGEOUS Texas mom is breathing easier after she had her entire nose surgically removed after a devastating diagnosis of stage 2 nasal cancer! After many painful surgeries, Tina Earls, 37, opted for a total rhinectomy to prevent her rare cancer from returning — and she is bravely coping with the gaping hole in her face by displaying her mangled mug on TikTok to raise awareness. “I do put up a brave face,” says the plucky mother of five. “People say ‘why are you so confident?’ Because I fought hard and I’m alive. Nothing’s more beautiful than alive!” Tina learned in May 2014 she had the rare condition, which accounts for only a tenth of a percent of annual U.S. cancer cases. After some early surgeries, she tried to wear a…

BELOVED TV cop Mariska Hargitay is being given the bum’s rush after 25 years on Law & Order: SVU, according to insiders who blame heartless bean counters determined to dump her fat, $500,000-per-episode paychecks in the wake of rising costs fueled by the recent actors’ and writers’ strikes! Incredibly, cheapskate bigwigs offered to keep Mariska — who built the crime show’s huge popularity — if she agreed to a massive pay cut, insiders dish. But spies say the 59-year-old star — whose role as big-hearted Capt. Olivia Benson is the longest-running primetime character in TV history — told execs to take the job and shove it! Now as SVU launches a strike-shortened 25th season in January, spiteful execs plan to have her character gruesomely snuffed by a psycho sex fiend…

COOPER STAKES FOOD TRUCK CLAIM Blue-eyed BRADLEY COOPER, 48, served New Yorkers a taste of Philadelphia from his new food truck venture Danny & Coop’s Cheesesteaks — and got rave reviews after a lower Manhattan launch. The actor, who grew up near the City of Brotherly Love, teamed with Angelo’s Pizzeria owner DANNY DIGIAMPIETRO on their wheeled eatery, but they hope to open a permanent restaurant soon. The sandwiches from the star-studded pop-up were $10 and the Oscar nominee says the money from that day will be donated to food charities to help New Yorkers in need. VIEW’S ANA GETS BIG BLACK EYE!

SHAMELESS Prince Harry resorted to “emotional blackmail” to wrangle a holiday invite from his father, King Charles, but the wily monarch stood his ground and left the royal renegade — and his American actress wife, Meghan — humiliated and out in the cold, according to a palace insider! During a frosty phone call to discuss a new book detailing Meghan’s accusations that the king and her sister-in-law Princess Kate are racists, California-based Harry told his father he and his wife would be open to bringing their tots, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2, to spend the holidays with the royal family at Sandringham castle, the insider claims. When Charles balked, the Duke of Sussex tugged at his father’s heartstrings, saying, “‘Don’t you want to see your grandchildren,’” the source says. “But…

REAL Housewives of New Jersey star Jennifer Fessler says the popular weight loss drug semaglutide caused a crappy side effect — a bowel blockage, which landed her in the hospital! Fessler, 53, admits losing at least 22 pounds with the prescription jab, but claims the medication left her constipated when she failed to ingest enough water and veggies — and instead gorged on “pizza and bagels and ice cream!” Yet, she pooh-poohed the problem — and still takes the shot!…

 A SECOND actress has thrown a wrench into Home Improvement star Tim Allen’s image — Casey Wilson claims her Santa Clauses series co-star was a “bitch” to work with and “so f**king rude!” Casey, 43, claims 70-year-old Tim is a tool and “the single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star!” And she huffs tyrant Tim left “everybody walking on eggshells, never made eye contact and never said anything. It was so uncomfortable!” Casey’s December claims mirror Pamela Anderson’s hit job last January. Pam, 56, wrote in her memoir Love, Pamela that Tim unzipped and paraded his manhood in front of her on the Home Improvement set in 1991, shortly before she made a splash in Baywatch. Allen has denied Pam’s claim, saying it “never happened.”…

DESPERATE Housewives star Felicity Huffman claims she bribed her daughter Sophia’s way into a top college because she was a devoted parent — but, frankly, that’s a poor excuse and a frantic attempt to rewrite history and polish her image! The 61-year-old Emmy winner is just another ex-con trying to justify her crime. Our halfway houses and parole offices are full of them. Huffman spent 11 days in the clink and paid a $30,000 fine after admitting she gave fixer Rick Singer $15,000 to illegally boost Sophia’s SAT — college entrance exam — score in 2019, which screwed other kids who legitimately earned their test results. But foul Felicity recently went on ABC TV to drum up sympathy, whining: “It felt like I had to give my daughter a chance…

GLENN FORD plays a struggling educator at an inner-city high school in the 1955 social drama Blackboard Jungle — but he finds it’s tough to teach when he’s got SIDNEY POITIER and VIC MORROW playing a couple of the jive-talkin’ juvenile delinquents in his class! The movie marked the first use of rock ’n’ roll on a soundtrack, and when Rock Around the Clock played over the opening credits, it whipped up teen audiences to the point where violence and vandalism spilled over into the aisles of theaters where it played!…

WILLIAM Howard Taft, who was inaugurated in 1909, was the last American president to sport facial hair. GOOD news! Honeybees are no longer endangered — and the number of hives around the world has increased by 26 percent over the last ten years. But amateur do-gooders are still installing hives at record rates. TINY Point Roberts, Wash., population 1,210, is the only U.S. community completely surrounded by Canadian territory. It’s located at the tip of the Tsawwassen peninsula in British Columbia.

TIGHTWAD Kevin Costner battled for every cent in his recent divorce, but insiders say the love-whacked Yellowstone cowpoke has opened his wallet and is splurging like a sugar daddy on brand-new galpal Jewel. The 68-year-old hunk and curvy 49-year-old songbird hooked up in November at mutual pal Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the Caribbean during a tennis fundraiser for the singer’s kids’ foundation. They were spotted getting cozy during the event and at one point a very relaxed Costner had his arms wrapped around the singer’s waist as she perched on his lap. But while the star is holding Jewel tight, sources say he’s loosened his grip on his $400 million bank account —at least as far as she’s concerned. “It’s ironic because Kevin’s always been known as a major…

LYING appears to be paying off big for disgraced U.S. Rep. George Santos, according to sources who dish the fork-tongued Republican, 35, booted from the House for unethical antics is eyeing offers for TV gigs worth at least $2 million!

But Santos insists he “never spoke to anyone” about the shows and “is not even considering it” despite losing his $175,000-a-year job in Washington, D.C. Shameless Santos has trouble with the truth. His mountain of lies includes claiming…
