But just days after debuting his band of gold during a stroll with Bride No. 3 SARA MILLER, 33, the septuagenarian groom made noisier news: He’s suing his Rhode Island town for allowing a property owner to build a house next to his! And speaking of houses of horror, James’ relationships with other younger gals haven’t exactly aged like fine wine! After marrying first wife KATHRYN MORRISON in 1980 for a three-year run, he wed equestrian SARAH OWEN in 1989 when he was 42 and she was 26.

NIP/TUCK-obsessed Marie Osmond is looking more frozen-faced than ever and pals fear her overfixed nose is set to slide off her puss — just like the late Michael Jackson’s. The Paper Roses singer, 63, has been no stranger to plastic surgery over the years and now “her face is so tight and stretched she can barely move it,” tattles an insider. “She’s clearly had so much Botox and fillers pumped into her cheeks and forehead that her eyes appear squinty.” But the biggest shocker is her schnozz. “It used to be this cute, rounded snub nose, but now it’s this narrow, pinched beak that looks like it could fall off in a heatwave,” spills the insider. “Marie’s obsession to stay as youthful looking as possible seems to be getting out of…

INFOWARS bully Alex Jones has filed for bankruptcy, insisting he can’t afford to pay a $1.4 billion legal settlement to the parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre after repeatedly claiming the 2012 tragedy was a hoax. Jones, 48, claims he’s worth less than $10 million and insists relatives of the 20 murdered kids aren’t going to see a dime because “there ain’t no money.” Jones has been accused of hiding assets, which, ironically, he brands a lie!…

AGING macho man Vladimir Putin fell down a flight of stairs in his Moscow mansion and pooped his pants, according to Kremlin gossips who are laughing behind the ruthless killer’s back. The humiliating Nov. 30 incident, leaked by the telegram channel General SVR, came as sickly Putin, who has trouble controlling his arms and legs, tumbled down five steps and landed hard on his tailbone. The impact caused him to “involuntarily defecate” due to “cancer affecting his stomach and bowels,” says the channel. “Three bodyguards helped the president get to the nearest couch and summoned medics on duty at the residence.” While the pain in his coccyx makes sitting difficult, he was well enough the following day to tour a Moscow lab. But General SVR insists Putin has cancer, which…

RECOVERING addict Robert Downey Jr.’s infamous drug problems were a case of like father, like son! A new documentary reveals shocking details about the Ironman star’s childhood and bizarre relationship with his dad, eccentric film director Robert Downey Sr., who was also a desperate drug addict. Little Robert was just six years old when his father caught him sipping white wine at their family home in New York’s Greenwich Village. Instead of snatching the booze away like most responsible parents would do, the senior Downey gave his kid some pot and suggested he smoke that instead. Robert Jr. says marijuana was “a staple, like rice,” in his home growing up, and drug abuse became a perverse bonding experience between father and son. “When my dad and I would do drugs…

FOX News has dumped Donald Trump’s mouthy daughter-in-law Lara as a paid contributor to their operation as the right-wing cable network slowly turns on the former president, whose new political ambitions have been declared DOA by boss Rupert Murdoch. A network rep insists the reason for axing Eric Trump’s 40-year-old baby mom was his dad’s decision to seek another term in the White House. The rep insists network policy forbids employing people linked to political campaigns — even though anchor Sean Hannity openly appeared at Trump rallies in 2020. Lara began her paid gig in March 2021 after appearing as a frequent guest on FOX & Friends. “We appreciate Lara’s valuable contributions across Fox News Media programming,” the rep says.…

SOCIAL-CLIMBING Jada Pinkett Smith is dumping her disgraced hubby, Will Smith, following the flop of his redemption tour, according to sources who say a battle is looming over his $350 million fortune! Smith, 54, finally returned to the public eye after notoriously slapping Oscar presenter Chris Rock’s face at last February’s awards and getting booted from the Motion Picture Academy. He hit the red carpet Nov. 30 to promote his new slavery-era flick, Emancipation, with Jada, 51, and kids Willow, 22, and Jaden, 24, in tow.

PANICKED Khloé Kardashian’s saggy boobs are a bust after radical weight loss left her assets dangling — and she’s planning to lift her breasts and baggy butt before the problem gets any worse, spies tell GLOBE! Insiders snitch the 38-year-old reality star dropped over 60 pounds in the months since breaking up with cheating baby daddy Tristan Thompson — but Khloé continues to diet and exercise as if her life depended on it, and it’s spoiling her silhouette! “Khloé loves her tiny waist and skinniness in general, but her boobs have dropped several cup sizes and started to sag,” spills a source. “It’s made her much less confident showing them off, especially as they’re looking lopsided. She’s tried strategic padding, but the only way out of this seems to be…

BRIT Bill Nighy has earned critical acclaim for his role as a bureaucrat facing terminal cancer in Living. But the recently released period drama is just the latest project for the longtime entertainment veteran. Bill, 73, had more than two decades under his belt when he scored his most widely known part as rocker Billy Mack in 2003’s Love Actually.

The 71-year-old Scientology sexpot shockingly passed away Dec. 5 from the vicious disease that was detected too late to save her life. In her final hours, insiders say she talked about her love for Travolta, which ignited when they costarred in the hit 1989 comedy Look Who’s Talking. “There was such a spark between them — Kirstie loved John with all her heart and she knew John loved her, too,” a friend reveals.

THE ongoing bloodbath at troubled CNN has now claimed big names like pundit Chris Cillizza, host Martin Savidge and field reporters Alison Kosik, Alex Field and Robin Meade. The axings were ordered by new chairman and CEO Chris Licht — who took over in May and didn’t expect firings. He now describes the layoffs as cost-cutting moves and denies chatter he wants CNN reporting more “vanilla” after the network took a decided tilt to the left. “That’s bulls**t!” he insists. “You have to have edge. In many cases you take a side. But either way you don’t see it through a lens of left or right.”…

Right now the talk show chatterbox, 40, is forking over $115,000 a month in spousal support to her 46-year-old ex — and under their March divorce settlement the payments last until January 2024. An insider snitches the Miss Independent hitmaker “can’t wait” to see how Blackstock fares without her moolah — even though the deal sticks in her craw. “Brandon made a ton of money off Kelly’s sweat when he was her manager and now she thinks he’s nothing but a freeloader,” dishes the insider.

Embattled Sajak, 76, has even been “belittling and badgering Vanna on air” because “he’s not happy about where things stand between him and the bosses,” squeals a spy. “His usual teasing of Vanna has taken a more sinister turn. He seems to be on this jealous campaign against her, to torment her, wear her down and maybe even make her quit so he can be a top dog again.” Pat made Vanna, 65, visibly squirm with unflattering comments about her sequined dress at the end of one Wheel…

To pay, sources say Todd, 52, and Julie, 49, will have to sell their two Nashville-area homes — a 13,000-plus-square-foot mansion in Brentwood worth about $6 million, and a smaller $2.9 million house in Belle Meade.

THE ghoulish 1991 comedy The Addams Family was a happy hit at the box office — and a house of horrors for the filmmakers!
