FIRST came love, then came marriage, but Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton still haven’t gotten around to the baby in the baby carriage! And pals are convinced a child is exactly what’s needed to get their relationship back on track, sources tell GLOBE. After Gwen, 55, and Blake, 48, married in 2021, there was plenty of baby buzz. “Everyone said the reason they tied the knot was because Gwen is pretty serious about her religion and wouldn’t want a child out of wedlock,” squeals a snitch. But sadly, it still hasn’t happened, and according to our mole, it’s casting a shadow over their marriage. Although the Hollaback Girl songbird shares three kids — Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10 — with her ex-husband, rocker Gavin Rossdale, Blake has no…

GAY CONFESSION BIT LANCE ON BUTT Years ago, gay actors used to hide their true sexuality, even marrying a gal as a cover, fearing the truth would wreck their careers — and boy-bander LANCE BASS knows all about it. The former NSYNC member tattles that he “lost everything,” including a plum part in a CW sitcom, when he leaped out of the closet in 2006. The 45-year-old father of two, who has been wed to actor MICHAEL TURCHIN since 2014, claims, “We were about to shoot the pilot and this came out.” Network bigwigs freaked, he says, telling him, “I don’t know what we can do with you now … We can’t do the show anymore.” As the word spread, he says, “Every casting director … they’re like, ‘Lance, we…

BRIT Ben Whishaw is using his unbearably wholesome voice to bring the title character to life in Paddington in Peru.

PICKLED Garrison Page — who was named Deputy of the Year for Georgia’s Bibb County in 2019 — was collared for DUI in the Peach State after the off-duty officer was spotted directing imaginary traffic! That’s the word of authorities, who say concerned citizens saw plainclothed Page — now employed as a Houston County Sheriff’s Office deputy — in the road near Skyview Elementary School in Lizella, making motions as if to control the flow of nonexistent vehicles. According to the arrest report, an officer who arrived at the scene noted “intoxicated and incoherent” Page was slurring his speech, had an unsteady posture, reeked of booze — and refused to take a breathalyzer test. Officials say his patrol vehicle was nearby and contained an open can of hard lemonade on…

But Jay-Z’s attorney Alex Spiro filed a motion saying 55-year-old Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, “deserves to know the identity of the person who is effectively accusing him — in sensationalized, publicity-hunting fashion — of criminal conduct, demanding massive financial compensation … “[Carter] should not have to defend himself in the brightest of spotlights against an accuser…

THE bold assassin who gunned down United-Healthcare’s CEO in cold blood and then skillfully evaded police for five suspenseful days was allegedly a corporate America–hating extremist, caught with a three-page manifesto railing against big business and health insurers, GLOBE can sensationally reveal! Although suspect Luigi Mangione’s true twisted motives are still being dissected by cops, the 26-year-old accused killer has already provided a glimpse into his unhinged rationale. He carried with him a handwritten document laying bare his disgust with the American healthcare industry, noting that as UnitedHealthcare’s market capitalization has grown, American life expectancy has dwindled. Such companies, he wrote, “continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it. “Frankly,” he added, “these parasites had it coming.” Disturbing…

SCREEN tough guy Sylvester Stallone has branded himself a “coward” for breaking up with his then girlfriend Jennifer Flavin via a letter sent by FedEx! “That’s the most insincere breakup you can get,” he says about the 1994 missive. “You put it down in words ’cause you don’t have the guts to do it face to face.” Flavin blabbed to a celebrity magazine about the six-page breakup letter, which came following Sly’s infamous fling with supermodel Janice Dickinson. “It hit me like a ton of bricks,” she admitted. “I had no idea this was going to happen.” But the romance had a happy ending.

SCIENTISTS made a seismic discovery after American astronauts placed sensors on the moon in 1969. The celestial body experiences moonquakes, which are partially caused by the Earth’s gravitational pull. STAND on top of Chicago’s Willis Tower on a clear day and you will be able to see four states: Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. HUMAN teeth are the only part of the body that can’t heal on their own because they’re not made of live tissue — and dental enamel doesn’t spontaneously regenerate. IT MAY sound fishy — but shrimp hearts are located in their heads! And that’s not all, the crustacean noggins also contain their stomach and ventral nerve cord!

TWISTED rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs may be sweltering in jail on charges of sex trafficking and other heinous crimes, but a naked monument to his late baby mama Kim Porter still stands in the rose garden of his now empty Beverly Hills mansion of horrors! Aerial photos of the gaudy statue obtained by GLOBE are further testament to the debauched lifestyle that led to Diddy’s arrest. The 20-foot chrome torso, which was erected in 2020, towers over hedges in Diddy’s backyard. “The statue’s grossly oversized bust and butt don’t even resemble Kim’s tall, slim figure,” notes a source. “So it’s bizarre that Diddy would say it made him feel like she was still with him!” The tragic beauty began dating the music mogul in 1994, and they had four kids together…
