TROUBLED talk show star Wendy Williams has caved and let her wayward hubby, Kevin Hunter, weasel his way back into controlling part of her life! The 55-year-old chat host originally booted Kevin from her home and job as producer of her TV show after hearing he’d been brazenly cheating for years with hottie Sharina Hudson, a 33-year-old massage therapist. But during a series of recent “heart-to-heart” powwows, he reportedly schmoozed her by promising not to ask for a monster alimony package if she took him back as her business manager. She agreed. That means their businesses — The Hunter Foundation, WW Talk Productions and Hunter Publishing Group — would remain. “Wendy was furious with Kevin over the affair, which he denied,” spills a source. “She felt he had publicly humiliated her…

EVANGELICAL Kathie Lee Gifford’s plan to become a TV preacher got a big boost from Nathan Burgess, the 62-year-old family friend who insists the former Today show star healed him of his suicidal mental illness with her miraculous TOUCH! “Without Kathie Lee’s love and support I would not have made it through those very dark days,” declares the Dallas, Texas, inventor. “I believe she has spiritual powers!” Devoutly religious Kathie Lee, now 66, met Nathan as a coed at Tulsa’s religious Oral Roberts University after becoming a born-again Christian at age 12. She was dating his brother Larry when Nathan, then 19, inhaled toxic sulfuric acid fumes at the printing company where he worked.

Leggy Polina Glen, 27, moved out of the 56-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star’s home, despite talking marriage with the troubled actor, insiders say. Now, sources say, Johnny is trying to spin the breakup as his idea — not hers. “Things have really slowed down, and Polina is either traveling around Europe or back in Russia with her family,” a source tattles. “It was a whirlwind romance, and Johnny realized she was more of a distraction. “He’s focused on fighting Amber in court and doesn’t really have time for a new relationship.” Depp hooked up with the gorgeous brunette while…

KATY PERRY has been ordered to pony up part of a $2.78 million tab after a jury ruled the pop star’s 2013 hit Dark Horse copied a Christian rap song. The windfall was awarded to Marcus Gray, who previously performed as Flame, and his two cowriters on 2009’s Joyful Noise. But the verdict fell short of their goal to snag 45 percent of Dark Horse’s earnings, which would have netted them nearly $20 million! The victory came after a five-year court fight against the singer and her five musical collaborators. Katy was socked for just over $550,000, but Capitol Records is on the hook for a $1.2 million chunk. Producers and other collaborators were ordered to pay the balance. Perry’s attorney says they plan to fight the decision. “I like…

Muhammad Ali Jr., 47, says he gets a $1,000 monthly allowance, but insists he’s entitled to $6 million, if the estate were split equally among the late heavyweight champ’s nine kids and widow Lonnie, who he says controls the money. He claims to have been ripped off when he was given the monthly allowance after the family met to divvy up the fortune following the boxer’s death in June 2016. “At the meeting in L.A., Ali Jr. had to get someone to help him understand as they were saying that they’d give money only as needed,” says a source. “Ali Jr. didn’t…

HIGH levels of estrogen in the womb have been linked to autism, according to a new study. In the past, University of Cambridge researchers have seen elevated testosterone during pregnancy in children who developed autism, particularly boys. But fresh research points to a link between autism and estrogen. In the new study, scientists measured estrogen levels in 98 boys who developed autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 177 boys who did not. Research showed high estrogen had a strong association with whether a baby developed ASD later, according to findings published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. While the role of estrogen hormones in autism has never been researched, “we hope that we can learn more about how they contribute to fetal brain development,” says Dr. Alexa Pohl of the Cambridge team.…
