BROKEN-DOWN BLAKE SCARING GWEN! Trouble in paradise for BLAKE SHELTON and GWEN STEFANI. The 48-year-old blond pop babe fears the country music hunk — who recently took a spill on stage — is falling apart physically and won’t have enough oomph to be a dad to the baby she’s desperate to make. The 42-year-old The Voice coach already has a bad back, gout and is losing his hearing from years of loud concerts, insiders dish. “Gwen says he could solve his health issues by changing a few things — like wearing protective earplugs, eating better, and stretching and doing some light exercise,” says a source. “She would love to have a child or two with him as soon as possible, and the last thing she wants is a deaf, crippled…

EX-NBA star Charles Oakley is a big, tall cheat!

EEK, cellulite!!! Docs say there’s no surefire cure, but gals can make those lousy lumps look better. No one knows what causes dimpled butts or cottage cheese thighs, but several treatments can reduce it, says Dr. Anne Chapas of Manhattan’s Union Square Laser Dermatology. Commercial laser and body contouring sessions shrink fat cells, increase blood flow and thicken the skin, and “make cellulite look better after about three or four treatments,” she says. Other treatments “attack fibrous bands” that result in cellulite dimples. These procedures use lasers or needles like Cellfina to go beneath the skin and break down the fibers, freeing fat cells and allowing them to smooth out. While the fibers won’t return after treatment, new ones can form, so patients need to return to the doctor to…

A BLOODTHIRSTY jaguar escaped his New Orleans zoo habitat and went on a killing rampage — savagely slaughtering six other animals and fatally injuring three more before being captured. An Audubon Nature Institute official called the spree “the biggest tragedy we’ve had” in the facility’s 100-year history. Officials say the big cat named Valerio escaped at 7:20 a.m. and over the next hour killed a fox, an emu and four alpacas while injuring several other critters. The feline was finally sedated by a team of vets and caged. Officials believe the three-year-old went wild to assert territorial dominance and won’t be put to sleep. “Nothing’s going to happen to the jaguar,” says zoo general curator Joel Hamilton. “Unfortunately, it was doing what jaguars do.”…

A CENTURY after Russia’s last czar was executed by communist radicals, exhaustive new DNA tests have confirmed his remains were found in a remote Urals city. Czar Nicholas II, his wife, Alexandra, and their five children were shot dead by the Bolsheviks on July 16 and 17, 1918. But their fate was shrouded in mystery. Now, genetic tests will allow the Russian Orthodox Church to bury the family with full royal rites.
