SEXY CBS sports reporter Katie Mox was the victim of an airline perv who broke into her luggage and, ignoring all jewelry and valuables, made off with her panties and bras! The leggy blond host of CBS’ Pick Six podcast says after a Jan. 18 Delta flight, she was unpacking her checked bag in her hotel room and “noticed that it had been opened.” “Everything seems to be fine, and then I go to where my underwear and bras are and those are f**king missing. Somebody came into my bag and stole my undergarments! “It’s just crazy that my jewelry and my shoes are fine, but my underwear is not.” The sultry sportscaster reported the theft to the airline and the following day was seen toting a shopping bag from…

WOLVERINE hunk Hugh Jackman’s estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, has leapt back into acting — and into a cozy relationship with married co-star Eric Bana, tipsters tell GLOBE. Now, insiders say the moping Marvel hero, 55, is getting a taste of his own medicine after his shattered spouse, 68, was forced to watch him moon over 48-year-old Broadway babe Sutton Foster, who’s also married!

Wasted CHARLIE SHEEN claimed he was “winning” when he blew his gig as TV’s highest-paid actor by back-stabbing his boss and then plunged into a drugged-out spiral to nowhere — shacking up with porn stars, transvestite hookers and getting HIV. Now, the 58-year-old has-been is, ironically, winning in court. The fired Two and a Half Men star gets custody of his 14-year-old boys, BOB and MAX, if ex-wife BROOKE MUELLER, who’s also a former addict, tests positive for drugs or booze or dodges a court-ordered sobriety test. The washed-up womanizer, who claimed to be powered by “tiger blood” in his drugaddled days, was granted an emergency request for joint custody. But clean Sheen becomes sole guardian if the kids’ troubled 46-year-old mom falls off the wagon like she did last…

HOLLYWOOD heart-throb Kurt Russell may never act again after his former matinee idol looks were savaged by botched plastic surgery that left a golf ball–sized hole in his neck, insiders tattle. Shocking photos reveal Goldie Hawn’s longtime lover was left unrecognizable — and deformed — by a bungled neck lift that also seems to have twisted his lips, according to medical experts. Top cosmetic surgeons insist the damage is permanent and can’t be fixed, leaving the 72-year-old former leading man looking monstrous after blowing an estimated $60,000 to restore his lost youth! Seattle plastic surgeon Dr. Javad Sajan viewed recent photos of the Tombstone stud and grimly notes Kurt “had a botched neck lift and lower facelift” and “the only way to correct this would be to do a revision,”…

TV chef and former sitcom star Valerie Bertinelli is devastated over being canned from Food Network’s Kids Baking Championship after a dozen seasons due to her hardball salary demands, insiders dish. The perky 63-year-old former star of sitcoms One Day at a Time and Hot in Cleveland blames budget cuts on her axing, but a source notes her contract was up and her team “decided they wanted more and talks stalled.” Bertinelli moans that it “really hurt my feelings” that she wasn’t “asked back.” Her Valerie’s Home Cooking show was also canceled last year after 14 seasons.…

NOTORIOUSLY tardy Madonna was slapped with a federal class action lawsuit by two NYC guys after she failed to get into the groove in a timely fashion at a concert late last year! According to court documents, the Material Girl’s Celebration tour tickets indicated the 65-year-old would take the stage at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center at 8:30 for the December 2023 show — but the Queen of Pop didn’t start her reign until two hours later! Fuming fans Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden have expressed themselves by seeking unspecified damages for what they call a breach of contract! Sources claim that night the Like a Virgin singer claims she was stymied by sound equipment issues — but she has a history of loosey-goosey start times, which saw her fending off similar…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE THERE’S little argument Barbra Streisand with her clear, strong, pitch-perfect voice is one of the greatest — if not the greatest — pop singers ever, but she’s also apparently tone-deaf to real life. As GLOBE revealed, the singer got caught taking more than $200,000 in COVID relief funds, aimed at helping struggling businesses pay employees during the financial hard times of the pandemic, to pay six workers — including her gardener — for two years. It wasn’t illegal, but the superstar’s worth $400 million, for criminy sakes! That’s not struggling! But only FOUR days after the loan program was announced, her Barwood film company filed for the cash — and went back for a second helping a year later — even though it hadn’t produced a…

BUBBLY Blake Shelton is popping the corks — but his bitter bride, Gwen Stefani, is terrified she’s becoming a saloon widow now that her hubby is focusing on his bar biz instead of his marriage, pals say! “Blake’s music success has led to his being able to be a club impresario, but it comes at a time when Gwen thought they would spend more time together after he left The Voice,” croons a crony. “Now she sees he’s just found something else to occupy his time that has nothing to do with their marriage — and it really eats at her!” Blake’s latest Ole Red restaurant/nightclub just opened in Sin City, marking the sixth spot the 47-year-old has launched since 2017 — he already has three in Tennessee, plus Ole…

SCREEN tough guy Alec Baldwin is terrified he’ll be tossed in the slammer — and wind up broke — if he’s found guilty for killing Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after being indicted a second time for the 2021 movie set tragedy. Sources snitch the 65-year-old Hunt for Red October action man, who faces 18 months in the slammer if convicted of involuntary manslaughter, believes he’s being unfairly targeted in a vicious vendetta by people who are out to get him simply because he’s rich and famous. “He’s sweating bullets and losing sleep,” dishes an insider. “The thought of being in a prison cell with a bunch of ferocious felons scares the daylights out of him.” But the movie gunslinger, who has seven children with second wife Hilaria, 40, is just…

DOLLY PARTON’s fans are outraged over singer Elle King’s booze-fueled, curse-filled performance at a 78th birthday celebration for the country icon in Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. While Dolly wasn’t present at the tribute for her Jan. 19 milestone, her fans were in an uproar over 34-year-old King, the daughter of movie funnyguy Rob Schneider, who appeared to be sloppy drunk and spewed cuss words and insults. “King was seen slurring her words and saying the F-word multiple times during the set,” dishes a source. The singer first infuriated Parton partisans when she forgot the words to Dolly’s hit Marry Me, and sang: “I don’t know the lyrics to these things in this f**king town. Don’t tell Dolly ‘cause it’s her birthday.” She then mocked the audience, saying, “You spent money…

Beverly Hills, 90210 nepo baby TORI SPELLING’s estranged hubby, DEAN MCDERMOTT, 57, is shacking up with new squeeze LILY CALO, 32, in Los Angeles. It sure pays to be mean!

A CRUSTY cretin has been collared for launching lunch meat at a Florida Subway clerk — because she failed to slice his sandwich in half, cops say! Livid licensed contractor Alberto De Barros, 54, hurled his hoagie at Cassandra Pierre-Louis after he “became upset with her after finding out his sandwich was not separated,” according to a probable cause affidavit. The charge of battery puts the bite on the sandwich snob, who cops accuse of clubbing the woman with the missile-shaped meal in her “mid to lower body section.” De Barros, who claims he threw the sandwich at the counter, not Cassandra, was released from custody, but it cost him some bread — he had to post a $1,000 bond.…

MOST women would kill for Nicole Kidman’s willowy 5-foot-11 frame, but the 56-year-old Aussie says her height has been such a hassle in Hollywood that she’s had to lie and claim she’s shorter! The screen queen says she discovered early in her career that her height was a fright in the world of casting agents. “I was told, ‘You won’t have a career. You’re too tall,’ ” she says. And friends agree it was a big sticking point in her decade-long marriage to tiny Tom Cruise, who is listed as 5-foot-7 but who many believe is even shorter! “Tom gave Nicole a no-heels edict — he was very conscious of their height difference,” blabs a buddy. It’s much less of a problem with Nic’s current hubby, country superstar Keith Urban…

KOOKY Kanye West took a bite out of his wallet by dropping $850,000 on flashy titanium fangs — and the ranty rapper likens his shiny new smile to the metal mouthpiece flashed by the James Bond movie villain Jaws! Kanye shared a pic of his mouth metal on social media — along with a photo of late hulk Richard Kiel, who played the murderous giant with steel choppers in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me and 1979’s Moonraker. But some online critics weren’t impressed with the grills — which cover Kanye’s natural teeth — and one titters, “Sir that is a gum wrapper!” In 2010, the bipolar former billionaire claimed he replaced his bottom gnashers with diamond and gold implants. But sources dish the bling was a facade — and his…

MONEY-HUNGRY football stud Travis Kelce put the brakes on an engagement to Taylor Swift — at least for now — but sources tattle he’s using their romance to make hay by cashing in on deals and big-bucks offers from every direction! Since the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Kansas City Chiefs tight end began romancing the 34-year-old pop star last summer, the ambitious NFL hunk has put more than $20 million in his wallet, according to a spy who snitches he has his “heart set” on bringing in a whole lot more. “Even though he’s now worth more than $40 million, he’s desperate to reach billionaire status — that’s why he’s taking every opportunity to make money off this relationship,” dishes an insider. “He’s signing on for every endorsement deal, every modeling gig…

JAMES CROMWELL was a little-known TV actor when he was offered the role of the rancher whose industrious pig herds sheep better than a border collie in the hit 1995 movie Babe — but at first he wasn’t interested because the animatronic porker had more lines than he did! A pal persuaded him by oinking: “If the movie tanks, it’s not your fault, it’s the pig’s fault.” The heartwarming tale really brought home the bacon at the box office — and although Cromwell only took home $50,000, his career suddenly went hog wild!…

LAWYERS are desperate to start the trial of Canadian fatcat Robert Miller — accused of being a twisted fiend who raped and sexually abused 47 girls, some as young as 11 — before the 80-year-old dies or is too crippled by Parkinson’s disease to face justice. Branded Canada’s Jeffrey Epstein, the former boss of Future Electronics, who’s worth $1.8 billion, is bedridden and can barely speak due to the nerve disease, leaving attorneys for his nearly four dozen victims fearing he’ll be too far gone or dead before he can appear at trial. Miller’s accused in a class action civil suit of paying underage girls for sex and bribing them to recruit their friends and classmates over decades — charges similar to the scandal involving American billionaire Epstein, who was…

JOE & SOPHIE PLAYING NICE The boiling bad blood between Game of Thrones actress SOPHIE TURNER, 27, and her estranged hubby, JOE JONAS, 34, is cooling, with the beauty dropping her child abduction claim against the Sucker singer. Their nasty split exploded when Joe blindsided the English rose with divorce papers and then refused to give the sci-fi siren the passports for daughters WILLA, 3, and DELPHINE, 1, so she could take the tots to her home in England. Furious Sophie accused the music man of violating international law, but the former couple have now agreed to let each have their girls every two weeks and to travel back and forth across the Atlantic. They’re finally making sense! SNOOP’S GIRL NEEDS A BREAK SNOOP DOGG’s puppy CORI BROADUS has been…

FBI fans haven’t seen the last of Shantel VanSanten — she’ll continue to battle bad guys as Special Agent Nina Chase on the hit CBS crime drama’s spinoff FBI: Most Wanted. Before joining producer Dick Wolf’s TV universe, the model turned actress made her mark on The WB’s One Tree Hill, Apple’s For All Mankind and Amazon’s The Boys. Now she continues her streak as strong-willed Chase. Here are ten things you don’t know about the 38-year-old screen chameleon. 1 She was born in Minnesota but raised in Texas, where she attended Incarnate Word Academy, an all-girls Catholic college prep school. 2 She was a finalist on NBC’s reality TV contest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search — but was eliminated in the series’ first episode. 3 In 2005, she was…

NINE months after being sidelined by a mysterious medical emergency, Jamie Foxx has returned to work filming the ironically titled flick Back in Action, but insiders tattle he’s toting a lot more flab in his ballooned belly. The 56-year-old Oscar winner, normally a buff 5-foot-9 and 181 pounds, was seen with co-star Cameron Diaz on the set sporting quite a paunch on Jan. 20. Sources snitch the actor’s still stressed following his April 2023 hospitalization and has been seeking comfort by gobbling junk food, resulting in an estimated 15-pound weight gain. “It’s been a long road to recovery and all that inactivity hasn’t done his body much good,” spills an insider. “He’s been eating chips and pizza, sausage and ice cream. “When he was in terrific shape, he’d give himself…

SITCOM legend Kelsey Grammer is pulling out all the stops to clinch a second season of his Frasier reboot on Paramount+ by trying to lure former Cheers star Shelley Long for a guest role — but insiders insist his appeals are falling on deaf ears! “Kelsey believes a reunion between Shelley Long’s Cheers character Diane Chambers would be golden, excite interest and bring closure for his character, too,” spills an insider. “Kelsey’s reached out a few times, only to be rebuffed. Shelley’s pushing everyone away these days and doesn’t take most calls.” The 74-year-old funnygal was one of the breakout stars of the saloon sitcom, playing a snooty barmaid who had a romance with Kelsey’s Frasier Crane after her bust-up with Ted Danson’s barkeep Sam Malone. But as GLOBE has…

LIKE your coffee piping hot? If so, scientists say joe with cream cools about 20 percent slower than straight black coffee. HOLLYWOOD heartthrob Clark Gable had rancid halitosis due to his false teeth. Co-star Vivien Leigh even complained, “Kissing Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind was not that exciting. His dentures smelled something awful.” U.S. airlines lose — or misplace — about 400 million bags every year, according to the federal Department of Transportation. OLDER folks sweat less than young’uns because the skin gets thinner with age, compressing the glands that produce perspiration. AW, beans! Back in 1919, Boston was flooded by a giant wave of molasses that killed 21, destroyed buildings and required 87,000 hours to clean up after a storage tank holding 2 million gallons of the goo…
