DIANA RIGG became a TV icon as kickass leather-clad spy Emma Peel, but the Avengers beauty had her fiercest fight yet as she battled back from the dead when her heart stopped on the operating table! About three months ago, the 79-year-old says, she awoke from cardiac ablation surgery to have the nurse say, “You might find a bit of a burn mark on your chest.” Rigg adds, “That’s where they jump-started me.” The actress, whose athletic martial arts moves made her a hit on the ’60s action series, quips, “My heart had stopped ticking during the procedure, so I was up there and the Good Lord must have said, ‘Send the old bag down again, I’m not having her yet.’” Cardiac ablation is a procedure to destroy tissue in…

Psycho’s body on ice in morgue KILL-CRAZY cult leader Charles Manson died almost two months ago, but his body is still cooling on a morgue slab as a battle rages over his remains — and chilling rumors fly that his attempts to return from the grave using voodoo worked! The evil 83-year-old, who sent his zombie-like Manson family members to slaughter seven people — including pregnant actress Sharon Tate — over two nights in L.A. in 1969, died of heart failure and colon cancer on Nov. 19 after ingesting a homemade voodoo potion he believed guaranteed immorality. His body is still at California’s Kern County morgue while five people — so far — are claiming his corpse. “Basically — he’s on ice,” reveals coroner spokesman Sgt. Stephen Wells, who says…

GEORGE of the Jungle hunk Brendan Fraser is eating himself to death! That’s the fear of a doctor who examined recent photos of the fading 49-year-old star, who appears to have packed on 100 pounds from his matinee idol prime. “Given that his height is six-foot-three, he looks to be about 275 pounds!” declares Dr. Stuart Fischer, author of The Park Avenue Diet. Fraser is currently working on two TV series — the FX drama Trust and the upcoming cable action series Condor. Dr. Fischer warns a hardworking middle-aged man carrying all that extra weight is putting his health at risk. “The main danger for someone of his age gaining this much weight is the early development of arteriosclerosis and heart disease,” says Dr. Fischer, who has not treated Fraser.…

CONTROL-FREAK Hugh Hefner is keeping his kids under his thumb — even though he’s dead — with legal papers saying they’ll be cut off from his $43 million estate if they’re caught drugging and boozing! The bizarre conditions are a final hypocrisy by the twofaced 91-year-old founder of the Playboy empire, who wrote pro-feminist essays in his skin mag, but kept a harem in his mansion and passed beauties around like party favors to celeb guests at his bashes. According to the documents, Hefner’s children — Christie, 65, David, 62, Marston, 27, and Cooper, 26 — and his widow, Crystal Harris, 31, must stay sober and “spend responsibly” if they want to inherit his legacy. “This is just the height of hypocrisy on Hefner’s part,” says a source close to…

A TENNESSEE woman has given birth to a bouncing baby girl who’d been frozen as an embryo — for more than 24 years! In an amazing medical miracle, it’s the longest known frozen human embryo to come to birth. Emma Wren Gibson was born Nov. 25 to Tina Gibson, who is 26. That means Tina carried an embryo conceived just 18 months after her own birth! Baby Emma was cryopreserved in 1992 — by egg and sperm donors who haven’t been named. She was placed in Tina’s uterus through “frozen embryo transfer” last March at the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC) in Knoxville. She weighed six pounds, eight ounces and was about 20 inches long at birth. “Emma is such a sweet miracle,” gushes new dad Benjamin Gibson. “I think…

A PAIR of geezers were busted with 60 pounds of high-grade marijuana in their car — after weaving over the middle line on a highway — and claimed the pot was for gifts! But if they’d had sharper driving skills, they might have made a clean getaway!

FORMER President Barack Obama’s eldest daughter Malia has turned into a boozing party animal, guzzling her way through Boston instead of hitting the books during her first semester at Harvard! Social media snitches have been ratting out the 19-year-old former first daughter’s alcoholic exploits since she arrived at the Cambridge, Mass., campus — away from the watchful eyes of her famous parents. A Sept. 8 post reads: “Damn, I saw Malia Obama in Cambridge tonight. She was beautiful, but drunk and cursing like any other college student.” The post came just ten days after the Ivy League college — where her parents attended law school — officially kicked off its academic year. On Sept. 23, another poster reports: “Just saw a very lit Malia Obama in Harvard square.” Two weeks…

ANCHOR Catt Sadler abruptly pulled the plug on her E! gig with little fanfare — but now the truth is out: She quit because her male sidekick made TWICE as much as she did! Although Catt, 43, claims she loved her job, she says learning her Daily Pop cohost, 36-year-old Jason Kennedy, was paid two times her salary was a sexist slap in the face. “Catt was caught in a nightmare — underappreciated and undervalued after working someplace for more than a decade!” dishes an industry insider. While a spokesperson for E! insists the company “ compensates employees fairly and appropriately based on their roles, regardless of gender,” they did not specifically address Catt’s complaints of salary sexism.…
