NEWLY separated Wolverine hunk Hugh Jackman is going all out to make himself look younger and be catnip for the ladies, especially new flame Sutton Foster, insiders tattle. While 55-year-old Hugh “always worked hard to look his best, he’s never been one to stress over getting older,” says an insider, who claims the movie mutant is a “changed man” after his marriage to actress Deborra-Lee Furness went belly-up late last year. “He’s suddenly super worried about looking wrinkled and everyone is convinced that Sutton is a big reason for it. The Broadway beauty is 48, but looks so much younger than her age. Her skin barely has a line on it. So it’s no wonder he’s feeling insecure.” Jackman fell for married Sutton when they co-starred in Broadway’s The Music…

IT LOOKS like choppy seas ahead for a prominent doctor and his wife who appeared on the reality show Below Deck — they’ve been accused of stealing cast members’ identities to write bogus prescriptions for oxycodone! Long Island urologist Dr. Francis Martinis, 55, and his wife, Jessica, 38, have been charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance and falsifying business records. Cops say the Martinises filled a dozen prescriptions for the notoriously addictive painkiller that were made out in the names of crew members working on the hit Bravo show. But the scheme unraveled when a New York pharmacist grew suspicious of the handwritten prescriptions and blew the whistle, lawmen say. The glam couple appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean in 2019, cruising the French Riviera aboard the yacht Sirocco.…

A NEW year often triggers resolutions to slim down. Some folks even opt for surgery to fix their weight woes just like some celebrities, including Today’s Al Roker, comedian Roseanne Barr, American Idol alum Randy Jackson and former daytime gabber Rosie O’Donnell. But experts warn to go slow and consider the facts! The two most common bariatric procedures are gastric bypass, which routes food to a small stomach pouch and then directly into the small intestine, and sleeve gastrectomy, which removes 80 percent of the stomach. Roker dropped more than 100 pounds after his gastric bypass in 2002 — but also admitted his reconstructed bowel caused him to poop his pants at the White House! Physicians caution bariatric patients need to carefully track what they eat — to ensure proper…

MÖTLEY CRÜE maniac Tommy Lee has drummed up a new scandal — a woman is accusing him of sexually assaulting her during a drug- and alcohol-fueled helicopter jaunt in 2003! The woman, whose name was concealed in court documents, says the pilot invited her on the chopper ride from San Diego to Los Angeles, and surprised her by bringing along the notoriously well-endowed rocker, now 61. She claims Tommy and the pilot took drugs and boozed it up — until the musician allegedly forced her onto his lap, groping and penetrating her with his fingers! The woman says she waited two decades to come forward because she feared no one would believe her. At the time of the alleged incident, Tommy was divorced from Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson. Their stolen…

MONEYBAGS Tom Cruise has been romancing Russian bombshell Elsina Khayrova, but her oligarch ex-hubby warns the Top Gun star better be careful or the temptress will take him to the cleaners! Former hubby Dmitry Tsvetkov insists he learned that the hard way when his bitter three-year divorce from the 36-year-old beauty put a $190 million dent in his wallet! “Irrespective of whoever she’s with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life,” Dmitry dishes, claiming the mother of his two kids has “expensive and luxurious tastes” and blew more than $1.3 million a year on designer rags and handbags during their 11-year marriage. But the diamond and mining tycoon, who lives in a $34 million British mansion, is rooting for 61-year-old Tom…

MODEL and playgirl Kendall Jenner is free to play the field again following the crash of her ten-month love-match with Puerto Rican pop king Bad Bunny. The 28-year-old brunette bombshell was seen looking long-faced during an Aspen ski holiday with pals Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey, on Dec. 17 — with 29-year-old Bunny nowhere in sight. Kendall has previously bounced back from splits with NBA hoopsters Devin Booker, Ben Simmons, Jordan Clarkson and Blake Griffin and pop pals Harry Styles and A$AP Rocky.…

FORMER Jacksonville Jaguars financial manager Amit Patel has been sacked for swiping $22.2 million from the NFL team, according to lawmen who tackled the 31-year-old notorious gambler. Patel was accused of manipulating the team’s virtual credit card program to pocket loot used to buy a condo, a Tesla, watches, cryptocurrency and more. Under the name ParlayPicker, he also blew vast sums in fantasy sports tournaments on FanDuel and other gambling sites, cops claim. A fellow gambler says ParlayPicker was “legendarily bad” and may be “the biggest loser ever on FanDuel.” In his last gamble in July, investigators say Patel paid $29,000 to participate in the world golf championship and came in 129th out of 150. “He came out of nowhere,” recalls one gambler. “I remember having side conversations with some of…

LONELY Britney Spears is on the hunt for a toyboy, but insiders snitch the singer’s toxic hygiene has potential dates running for the hills! Insiders claim the 42-year-old pop princess has raised eyebrows — and a stink — for years with her indifference to soap, but things have gotten worse since splitting with estranged hubby Sam Asghari, 29, last summer. “She doesn’t shower regularly or use deodorant, her hair smells awful and is all tangled with her extensions, and she wears the same clothes from the day before,” tattles an insider. “She doesn’t wash her hands after handling her dogs and loves walking barefoot outside and inside, which some folks complain results in funky foot odor. “She’s also made a habit of eating her meals in bed and there are…

SASSY SHARON OSBOURNE, 71, surprisingly admits a bizarre 2021 “cyclops” facelift was the “worst thing” she’s ever done, conveniently overlooking the racism scandal that triggered her exit from The Talk the same year. Of course, there could be a good reason rocker OZZY’s wife sees things that way. She reveals after the surgery, “I had one eye here and one eye there and my mouth was all [askew].” Her first reaction was, “You’ve got to be f**king joking,” but the doctor rejected her demand for an immediate fix because her puss needed to heal. “I looked like one of those f**king mummies they wrap with bandages. It hurt like hell. You have no idea,” she whines. Sharon claims even Ozzy, who has seen his share of odd things during their…

A DRUNKEN tourist in Florida not only caused a scene in a restaurant and the motel where he was staying, but also “sexually molested” a plastic manatee statue, say cops. Anthony Lessa, who hails from Pittsburgh, was charged with disorderly intoxication for creating disturbances at Rick’s Reef Restaurant and the Postcard Inn in St. Pete Beach on Dec. 8, according to an affidavit from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Lawmen say Lessa, 23, grew belligerent when he was asked to leave the restaurant and started yelling and throwing around “gator bites,” which are pieces of fried alligator meat. After leaving Rick’s, he allegedly assaulted the manatee statue, then went into the nearby Postcard Inn and started screaming obscenities at the front desk worker. Deputies say he continued yelling obscenities outside the…

John McCain’s daughter is threatening to sue over barbs accusing her of making bucks peddling her famous name. “I don’t understand why my former colleagues bring me up and slander me on an almost weekly basis,” fumes Meghan, who stormed off the show in August 2021. “It has been years — move on. I have. “I have never been accused of a crime in my life and am a patriotic American. I would never and have never ‘influenced peddled’ in my life, let alone with foreign adversaries.” The 39-year-old daughter of the former GOP presidential candidate and prisoner of war took to social…

CONNIVING Ken Jennings has won his battle to be the sole lord of Jeopardy! after rival cohost Mayim Bialik was officially shown the door months after refusing to cross Hollywood strikers’ picket lines to film the show. A rep for Sony, which syndicates the game show, claims the decision was motivated by the need “to maintain continuity for our viewers and Ken Jennings will be the sole host” because switching quizmasters confuses the audience. As GLOBE reported, Jennings and the 48-year-old former Big Bang Theory brainiac were made co-hosts after longtime frontman Alex Trebek died from pancreatic cancer in November 2020. Since then, spies say Jennings, 49, a former Jeopardy! champ, has been sucking up to audiences and corporate brass behind the scenes while Mayim honored the actors’ and writers’…
