THE desperate hubby of Jill Duggar, Derick Dillard, is begging for cash after getting booted from TLC’s Counting On for slamming fellow network star, sex-swapping teen Jazz Jennings. Derick — who in 2014 married Jill of the hit 19 Kids and Counting — was shown the door after TWICE blasting the 17-year-old, whose transition from male to female is featured on I Am Jazz. “I pity Jazz, 4 those who take advantage of him in order 2 promote their agenda, including the parents who allow these kinds of decisions 2 be made by a child,” Derick tweeted in his latest round of criticism, refusing to use feminine pronouns when discussing the young boy-turned-girl. “It’s sad that people would use a juvenile this way. Again, nothing against him, just unfortunate what’s…

A BOMBSHELL study says a common procedure to relieve chest pain in hundreds of thousands of heart patients has zero effect — beyond a steeper medical bill! The procedure — stent insertion for patients with blocked arteries and chest pain — is given to half a million patients annually. It often saves lives when used to open arteries for patients suffering a heart attack. But cardiologists at Imperial College London studied 200 patients with coronary artery blockage and chest pain that limited physical activity. The patients were given drugs to reduce heart attack risk and medicine to relieve chest pain for six weeks. Then half the subjects had stents inserted — while the other half underwent sham insertions that were never fully implanted. In follow-ups six weeks later, researchers tested…

MAGNUM, P.I. co-star John Hillerman nursed a bitter grudge until the day he died — he loathed egomaniac Tom Selleck! The Texas-born actor — who developed his signature snooty British accent by listening to Laurence Olivier — was disgusted when Selleck’s ego exploded during the hit 1980s crime show.

UPS driver Lee Purdy was making deliveries in Clackamas, Ore., on Nov. 7 when he heard a squawking voice shout, “Help me!” The outburst sounded like a woman’s screams and ruffled Lee’s feathers so much, he told his wife, who called a nonemergency line to report the unusual incident. “It was clearly weighing on him, so she thought she’d better call,” says Brian Jensen, public information officer for the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. “I was a little concerned at first that maybe an older person had fallen and couldn’t get up,” admits Lee. “The deputies were able to contact the owner and gain entrance…

MARILYN MONROE helped super-charge screwball comedy masterpiece Some Like It Hot with her portrayal of Sugar, the delightfully ditzy, boozing singer who beguiles cross-dressed co-stars JACK LEMMON and TONY CURTIS as they run from the Mob. But the breathy bombshell was a nightmare behind the scenes, often forgetting her lines and routinely showing up late. Still, Hollywood legend Jack, pictured with the beaming blonde on the set of the 1959 flick, forgave her lapses. “She knew she was limited and goddamned well knew what was right for Marilyn,” Lemmon said about the sex symbol, who died at age 36 of a drug overdose in 1962. “She wasn’t about to do anything else.”…
