Scialfa, 71, who began singing with the Born in the U.S.A. singer’s E Street Band in 1984 and married him in 1991, reveals she got the devastating news — that she was stricken with multiple myeloma in 2018 — in the new documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. The cancer causes pain, weakness, tiredness and nausea, among other symptoms.

TRUTH-stretching Selling Sunset sales agent Alanna Gold has said sorry to residents of Pioneertown, Calif., after falsely claiming she owned their whole town — and referred to herself as its sheriff! Alanna, 32, a newcomer on the Netflix show, bragged to her co-stars she owned “a little Western town” in the desert outside L.A. Pioneertown’s residents were livid when they heard Alanna’s lies. In a post on Pioneertown’s Instagram page, the reality-show Pinocchio was slammed for “belittling” the community with her “baseless claims” and clarifying she has a “non-controlling interest in an entity” that owns “less than one percent of Pioneertown’s total 640 acres.” An apologetic Alanna has tried to do damage control, sending letters to residents in which she admits, “I certainly do not own Pioneertown, I never should have…

SLACKER Prince Harry has a lot of time on his hands now that he has no royal duties crowding his plate — and details are coming to light about how the Spare heir spends his downtime! According to neighbors of Harry and Duchess Meghan’s $14.5 million, 18,000-square-foot, 16-bedroom estate in Montecito, Calif., there are very few sightings of the reclusive pair except for when Harry walks his dog on the beach or rides his bike. And these neighbors would know, because everywhere the Duke and Duchess of Sussex go — with or without son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3 — they are tailed by a massive entourage, the biggest security team around, according to one local, who says even in such a wealthy community, they’ve never seen anything like…

AVISITOR’S seemingly innocent dropping of a bag of Cheetos in a cave in Carlsbad Caverns National Park triggered ecological chaos inside the gloomy grotto. Rangers at the New Mexico park say the damp cavern turned the yummy, salty corn chips into a mouth-watering banquet for a mob of creepy cave critters and had “world changing” consequences for the area. “Cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organize into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations,” says a Facebook post by park bigwigs. The cave-tastrophe should remind visitors to “leave no trace” of foreign materials that could interfere with the natural workings of the area, say officials. In order to restore order from the Cheetos disruption, rangers spent 20 minutes scrubbing the area of foreign…

But the team that unearthed the Carmelite nun say her face is still “clearly visible!”…

SONGBIRD Carrie Underwood will have plenty of nerves as she takes Katy Perry’s hot seat on American Idol, but sources say she can expect support from a superfan — fellow judge Lionel Richie, who’s crushing hard on the married country cutie. “He thinks Carrie is the best thing that’s happened to Idol in a long time, and he can’t wait to work with her,” dishes a source. “He knows she’s married, but he tells people she’s the most beautiful, talented singer he’s set eyes on in many a year.” The 75-year-old All Night Long dude, who’s been dating 34-year-old entrepreneur Lisa Parigi for more than a decade, joked he hopes Carrie will be “a ham sandwich” sitting between him and fellow judge Luke Bryan, 48. “Lionel was trying to be…

INFAMOUS mom Casey Anthony — who was notoriously acquitted of killing her toddler daughter in 2008 — is a home-wrecking Jezebel who seduced a married father of two and lured him away from his 22-year marriage, sources charge. Tipsters tattle Casey, 38, met 48-year-old Tyson Ray Rhodes at a South Florida gym and began dating the hunk in January. The accused killer has since uprooted her life in the Sunshine State and planted herself in Tennessee to be with her musclebound beau — even though he has yet to legally leave his wife!

That’s his business. All she knows is he…

KICKIN’ booze and livin’ clean is hurtin’ the career of country crooner JAMEY JOHNSON, according to a pal. The 49-year-old Redneck Side of Me singer burned up the charts before giving up booze in 2011. Says his friend: “Jamey is one of Nashville’s best songwriters, and could turn out a bunch of songs about revving up the truck and getting wasted on the weekend that would hit No. 1.” Indeed, Johnson won the Academy of Country Music Song of the Year award for his tune Give It Away in 2007 and his 2009 hit In Color while still enjoying hooch. And while he’s been nominated for Grammys and other awards 11 times since he kicked booze, he’s been shut outta the winner’s circle. Johnson’s just-released ditty Sober “is about how…

BOOZY body snatcher Patricia Sierra swiped a casket containing a corpse from a Las Vegas funeral home — but the pickled perpetrator claims she doesn’t remember committing the grave deed because she “blacked out from drinking six beers,” lawmen say.

Responding officers discovered the unlucky stiff whose feet were covered with plastic bags near an abandoned coffin.

NONSTOP stress can trigger a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion known as burnout — but clinical psychologist Molly Burrets says there are warning signs that may signal the problem is on the horizon! The L.A.–based professional calls burnout a “chronic condition” that occurs when the overwhelming demands of life “exceed our capacity” to meet them. But she says certain symptoms can help attentive folks spot potential trouble so they can take charge of their health. “Some of the most common physical symptoms are things like chronic fatigue or insomnia — difficulty either falling or staying asleep,” notes Burrets, who says frequent headaches, muscle pain, digestive issues and a weakened immune system are also hallmarks of the phenomenon.

BELEAGUERED Alec Baldwin is not out of the woods yet — he is facing a possible retrial in the on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins now that a prosecutor claims the actor’s lawyers tricked the court into letting him off the hook! “This is a smoke screen created by the defense and was intended to sway and confuse the court,” charged special prosecutor Kari Morrissey in an Aug. 30 motion, “and it was successful.” State District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dropped the involuntary manslaughter charges against the 66-year-old 30 Rock star after his legal team argued law enforcement bungled the handling of ammunition evidence after the October 2021 tragedy on the set of the Western Rust. Shockingly, the judge agreed, citing “severe discovery violations amounting to misconduct” and false…

Cops claim the cruel hothead used an illegal assault weapon along with rifles, shotguns and handguns to mow down a menagerie of hoofed, furry and feathered critters — for no apparent reason! “These animals varied from miniature horses to goats and chickens and ducks and guinea pigs. We had cockatoos — different types of animals,” explains Commander Andres Rosas of the Monterey County Sheriff’s Department. “These were all people’s pets and they were being cared for, and they were all shot and killed.” Deputies and a SWAT team descended on the scene and collared Arroyo after…

THE fishy death of a notorious beluga believed to be a trained spy for the Russian military has sparked calls for a criminal investigation in Norway as activists say the white whale was assassinated! The mammoth mammal’s 14-foot, 2,700-pound carcass was found floating in the bay of Risavika, off the southern coast of the Scandinavian country — five years after initially being spotted in the area wearing a specially made harness marked Equipment St. Petersburg, which appeared to have multiple video camera mounts!
