UNSINKABLE Simon Cowell walks five miles a day as he continues his grueling recovery after breaking his back in a freak electric bike accident last summer, according to singer Sinitta. The tough-as-nails America’s Got Talent judge, 61, suffered multiple fractures after taking a spill at his Malibu home in August. But pal Sinitta says he’s putting in 10,000 steps daily and “still having a lot of physiotherapy, seeing great doctors and doing non-weight bearing pool work.” ›› I am always saying ‘Glad to’ve met you’ to somebody I’m not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.— J.D. Salinger…

BITTER reality babe NeNe Leakes is screaming for fans to boycott The Real Housewives of Atlanta, charging she was driven off the show by racism! The 53-year-old motormouth claims she wasn’t fired, but “pushed out” by bigwigs who cut her appearances from 23 episodes down to six. She blames her demotion on racism, tweeting: “BLACK WOMEN who created shows, created genres, built franchises and built networks were being DEMOTED.” She’s urging fans, “TURN OFF YOUR TVS.”…

Ratings war getting ugly SCANDAL-scarred Ellen DeGeneres is losing ground in the ratings with sunny chatterbox Kelly Clarkson — now the talk hosts’ staffs are at each other’s throats behind the scenes, sources say. In recent ratings, The Ellen DeGeneres Show plunged eight percent while Kelly’s shot up 11, adding fuel to the fire of an already simmering rivalry. Ellen’s also reportedly losing advertisers, which insiders say isn’t a good sign for her show’s long-term survival. Now, with the 62-year-old catching COVID-19 and out until the first of the year, aides are finding their jobs much harder as they struggle to win back Ellen’s fans and rebuild her image, which was tarnished by charges she created a “toxic” off-camera environment on the show. “Kelly is TV’s new ‘it’ girl,” tattles…

HENPECKED Prince Charles is being pressured to renew his vows with wife Camilla in 2021 — 16 years after their embarrassingly low-key civil wedding, palace insiders tell GLOBE. After being rightfully cast as the other woman during Charles’ disastrous first marriage to Princess Diana, sources say the Prince of Wales’ former mistress now wants to make it clear he’d choose her as his partner all over again — despite the scandal surrounding their love. Unlike Charles’ over-the-top 1981 nuptials with Diana at St. Paul’s Cathedral, he and Camilla had a small civil ceremony on April 9, 2005, at Windsor Guildhall, followed by a blessing in Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel. “It’s always eaten away at Camilla that the original ceremony was so subdued and almost sheepish, with very limited public…

PRINCE HARRY and his high-living wife, Meghan, will finally cut all ties to royalty — and lose their cash-spinning titles — if he follows through with a vow to become a U.S. citizen, sources tell GLOBE. Already settled in a lavish, $14 million California compound with their tot, Archie, in the celebrity-peppered Montecito region, the couple have abandoned royal traditions to become a money machine despite coyly downplaying their connection to Britain’s monarchy. “Everyone knows the fairy dust they bring to the table, even if they don’t use the titles when signing a business deal or when they show up at a big event,” says a royal insider. “The titles are still there to people who want to bathe in the glamour of being around royalty.” Royal expert Marlene Koenig notes…
