DIVORCED Hugh Jackman is determined to get hitched again, but instead of a gal in showbiz, insiders say the Wolverine hunk’s hunting for an Amal Clooney–type bride, a brainy babe involved in politics and social activism. The 55-year-old and his first wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, 68, split last summer after 27 years and two kids.

GREEDY Supreme Court fat cats have pocketed millions in freebies over the last 20 years, sparking fears the scales of justice can be tipped by hard, cold cash! According to a shocking investigation, the 17 justices who sat on the nation’s highest bench from 2004 to 2023 accepted as many as 700 individual gifts — many of them undisclosed on mandatory financial reporting forms — totaling more than $6.5 million. The swag includes luxury vacations, private air travel, free tickets to events and memberships at various tennis, golf and social clubs.

The 76-year-old jurist has been wined, dined and otherwise pampered by others, including people…

BROKE BACHELOR STUD CRASHING WITH 3 GALS When KELSEY ANDERSON said “yes” to Bachelor hunk JOEY GRAZIADEI, she probably didn’t think she was choosing between “love and money” — and would only end up with love. Hopefully, that’ll be enough as the 29-year-old tennis coach has turned into a broke tennis bum. Kelsey, 25, quit her job. They are now crashing with her two gal roommates in New Orleans. “He was just living with his sister, so I was like, ‘You can move in with me’ … and my roommates were all in,” chirps Kelsey. According to Joey, he let a credit card payment lapse during his two months on the show. So his credit score tanked 80 points, and he can’t rent a love nest for him and Kelsey.…

HALF-BAKED Ann Marie Luna hurled a cinnamon roll at the back of a man’s head in Florida — and now the spicy gal is facing a charge of misdemeanor battery, cops say. According to authorities, frosted Luna, 37, pelted a pal with the pastry at a St. Petersburg temporary housing facility, striking him at the base of his neck. Lawmen immediately swirled the area, but have not yet released a motive for the alleged high-calorie clobbering. An arrest report states the baked good beatdown was captured on a security camera and claims the un-suitable roll model admitted to the sugary onslaught! The victim was not injured — but wishes to prosecute. However, the report reveals no weapon was seized by investigators. Luna was booked into the county jail but released…

SKINNYGIRL nuisance Bethenny Frankel — who is dripping with designer accessories of her own — has advised her 1.8 million followers to buy knockoffs instead in an online revenge clip after a Chanel store in Chicago wouldn’t let her enter without an appointment! “Why? Because I think that the luxury brand space has reached the point of exploitation,” the self-righteous ex-Housewife scolded in the TikTok takedown — adding selling bags for “tens of thousands of dollars” exploits women’s insecurities.…

THINGS seemed hopeless for a mom of two who lost all four limbs after a rare and devastating bout with sepsis — but the plucky Kentucky lady is now taking her first steps, thanks to sparkly pink prosthetics and a will of iron! Lucinda “Cindy” Mullins, 41, lost both arms and both legs after a routine elective surgery gone horribly wrong last Christmas. She’d entered the hospital to have kidney stones removed — but a haywire infection left surgeons with no choice but to amputate. “I still am not angry,” she says. “I have not questioned what happened to me. God chose me for a reason. He’s going to use me for big things!” With the aid of modern technology, Cindy was fitted with prosthetics and took her first steps,…

BRAZILIAN bombshell Gisele Bündchen exploded over rumors she’s been scrapping with her judo instructor boyfriend Joaquim Valente — and she’s flagging her football icon ex-hubby Tom Brady and his hit Netflix roast for unsportsmanlike conduct, say sources. “She’s got it in her head that jokes about her canoodling with Joaquim during Tom’s roast drove him away from her,” blabs an insider. “Now she’s furious with Tom — AGAIN!” Gisele, 43, has been dating Joaquim, 34, since June 2023, but she reportedly complained the relationship took a hit after being ridiculed during the roast! “Tom, the only thing dumber than you saying ‘yes’ to this roast was when you said, ‘Hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu,’” joked comedian Nikki Glaser. Gisele was reportedly infuriated by the offensive jokes that seemed to…

TV HUNK Jeremy Allen White is heating up his third season as leading man on The Bear. The restaurant dramedy burst onto the scene in 2022 and won ten Emmys earlier this year. Scenery-chewing Jeremy, 33, isn’t averse to sinking his teeth into a role — having trained in restaurant kitchens to play Chef Carmy Berzatto on the FX hit and gaining 20 pounds of muscle to play doomed wrestler Kerry Von Erich in The Iron Claw. Here are ten things you don’t know about the Shameless alum. 1 Growing up in Brooklyn, he studied jazz, tap and ballet — and once intended to become a professional dancer. 2 He’s fluent in Spanish and Italian. 3 One of Jeremy’s favorite actors is Sam Rockwell, the Oscar-winning star of Three Billboards…

Sex fungus invades U.S. ✚ THERE’S a new fungus among us — a sexually transmitted form of ringworm called Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VII (TMVII). New York University’s Dr. Avrom S. Caplan says a Big Apple man was the first person in the U.S. to develop the nasty skin rash, which appeared on his penis, butt and limbs. Unsightly but curable TMVII, which can be confused with eczema, is on the rise in Europe, and the infected Casanova did cop to getting busy while overseas.

FIERY country cutie Carly Pearce had a helluva time torching rumors claiming she worships the devil — and claims she’s the victim of a bizarre internet conspiracy. It all started when Carly, 34, shared photos from her appearance at Nashville’s CMA Fest — including a pic of her standing in a numbered parking spot. But multiple trolls jumped on the social media slideshow, claiming the faded digits near the Kentucky native’s feet read 666 — the mark of Satan! One commenter sniped, “We know who you worship.” Another critic sniffed, “Symbology much? Don’t be fooled. Lots of country artists with their fake stupid accents are not free agents but rather useful tools.” Peeved Pearce insists there was no such “hint” hidden in the image and says, “I am a devout…

THE furor over roly-poly Sara Milliken being called Miss Alabama after winning a little-known beauty contest in that state calls to mind the similar brouhaha over pop star Lizzo, also a plus-sized gal. As GLOBE reported last issue, squat Sara, 23, winner of the National American Miss pageant, was being hailed by media outlets as Miss Alabama, a title actually held by 21-year-old Diane Westhoven, a traditional 5-foot-9, 120-pound bombshell who’ll represent the Southern state in the upcoming Miss American pageant. The publicity barrage led Sara to being slammed and shamed for her weight by some — while being supported by others for her inner beauty. “Sara is extremely unhealthy and this is a slap in the face to the young girls who have worked hard and maintained a diet…

THE successful TV duo KEEGAN-MICHAEL KEY and JORDAN PEELE teamed up for the 2016 comedy Keanu, about bumbling friends who pose as tough drug dealers to infiltrate the gang that stole their kitten — named after the actor Keanu Reeves, whose assassin character in the John Wick movie franchise is out for revenge after thugs steal his dog. Reeves makes a cameo as the voice of the kitty during a dream sequence. But the titular feline was played by at least five cats with different skills! Laid-back Peanut was for close-ups, high-energy Monkey did action sequences, cuddly Mami starred in petting scenes, Charlie was a versatile stunt cat, and Tiger specialized in creating different expressions!…

COUNTRY star Billy Ray Cyrus is learning there’s no fool like an old fool as his marriage to much younger singer Firerose has crashed after just seven months — and he’s now screaming she’s trying to milk him dry, pals say. Miley Cyrus’ frantic 62-year-old dad rushed to court June 13 to file an emergency restraining order that would stop Aussie songbird Firerose, whose real name is Johanna Hodges, from emptying his bank accounts — claiming she recently blew nearly $100Gs of his money on 37 separate credit card and bank transactions, including to pay for her lawyers to fight him in divorce court! The Achy Breaky Heart singer also claims Firerose, who at 35 is only four years older than his daughter Miley, 31, can’t plead poverty, because she’s…

FUGITIVE moneyman James Arthur McDonald Jr. — a former CNBC financial guru who’s accused of defrauding business investors out of millions — was collared by the FBI after nearly three years on the lam, lawmen say. According to the Department of Justice, the talking head was busted in Washington state and will be shipped to California to stand trial. In November 2021, McDonald, 52, went from the frying pan into the fire after failing to testify before the Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly swindling business backers out of their bacon — and disappeared without a trace! The DOJ says in 2020 the pompous pundit — who was CEO of L.A.’s Hercules Investments and Index Strategy Advisors — projected the COVID-19 pandemic and that year’s presidential election “would result in…

FAMED former football coach Bill Belichick drafted a super-young honey to his personal team — by signing her homework! Years later the longtime New England Patriots head coach, 72, is now dating 24-year-old beauty queen and competitive cheerleader Jordon Hudson after reportedly meeting her on a flight in February 2021 and autographing one of her college textbooks after a discussion about the philosophy paper she was toiling away at! “Jordon, Thanks for giving me a course on logic!

HIRED gun Aimee Betro flew from Wisconsin to carry out revenge murders in Britain — but the hijab-wearing hellcat failed to seal the deal and now the wannabe assassin is on the lam, lawmen charge. An international hunt is underway for Betro, 44, a former administrator for the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, who’s accused of leading a double life as a failed contract killer. Investigators in Birmingham, England, allege in 2019 the brazen blonde hopped across the pond to rub out clothing store owner Sikander Ali and his family on the orders of rival Mohammed Aslam, 56, and his son Mohammed Nazir, 30. During Aslam and Nazir’s recent trial, authorities said Betro boldly contacted Aslat Mahamud, Ali’s dad, pretended to be interested in buying his Volkswagen Golf and arranged a…

IT’S true what they say, elephants never forget — their own names! In an astonishing development, scientists have observed the perceptive pachydermas possess individual names and respond to them when called — and do NOT respond if a different name is used. Colorado State University researchers using advanced AI techniques recorded 470 different noises made by elephants in Kenya — from trumpeting to rumbles — and found they used a unique pitch to greet each Dumbo, Babar and Horton in their herd. When the researchers played back snippets, the mammoth mammals, who also display complex reasoning and human-like compassion, responded ONLY to the tune that matched their name! Dolphins and parrots mimic the names humans call them, explains study lead author Dr. Michael Pardo. “By contrast, our data suggest that…

FASHION diva Kim Kardashian is raking in the dough while disgraced ex-hubby Kanye West ploughs through his dwindling savings after a series of scandals — and insiders tattle the cash-strapped rapper’s secretly begging the reality queen for financial help. “Kanye’s been burning through his savings at an alarming rate and it’s starting to have a real impact on his bank balance,” dishes an insider. “He’s still got some money coming in, but ever since he lost that deal with Adidas, he’s seen many, many zeros drop off his net worth.” As GLOBE reported, the footwear and clothing giant decided to dump the 47-year-old Runaway rapper in 2022 following his disgusting anti-Semitic and anti-Black rants. That spelled disaster for the singer since Adidas owned design rights to his fashion company Yeezy,…

CHRONIC skin-picker Tallulah Willis — daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis — brags she is “truly forkin proud” of letting her scabbed skin heal for an entire four months! “Picking happens! And then healing can happen,” posted the 30-year-old — who has also revealed she is autistic — as she shared shocking photos of her face. “Healing doesn’t have to mean clear skin, and it doesn’t mean intrusive thoughts stop intruding, and it doesn’t mean you’re not gonna do it again. It’s small wins.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, the skin-picking habit — aka dermatillomania or excoriation disorder — is a mental health condition that causes some people to dig away at their skin, leaving cuts, scratches and scars.…

SCIENTISTS believe at least 21 species of humans have lived on Earth over the last 1.9 million years. Homo sapiens — which is us — has only existed for about 300,000 years. CRICKETS can help you tell the temperature on summer nights. Count the number of chirps in 15 seconds then add 37 to get the approximate temperature in Fahrenheit. The bugs don’t chirp below 55 degrees or above 100. A STAGGERING 618,222 Americans died during the Civil War, with 360,222 fatalities from the Union and 258,000 the Confederates.

Today it’s about 53 percent.…
