FORMER reality TV star Jon Gosselin has attacked his ex-wife, Kate, again — charging the blonde is using their kids as cash cows by keeping their lives exposed on a reality show! "I believe her intentions in the beginning were good. But once fame and money got involved it twisted her belief system,” says Jon, 42, who co-starred with his 44-year-old ex on the early 2000s hit Jon & Kate Plus 8.

GRAVE health issues have driven feuding game show hosts Alex Trebek and Pat Sajak to end their decades-long sniping and backstabbing — because they realize life is literally too short to continue such pettiness! “They’ve become exceedingly nice and friendly toward each other and they’ve exchanged messages of peace and wellness,” snitches an insider. “Any hostility between them is long gone — and there was plenty of that, a lot of petty bickering and backstabbing babble about whose show was better, who had the better ratings, who had more TV presence, whose hairline was receding, and so on.” The first jolt to ending the clashes came as Jeopardy! host Alex, 79, took a turn for the worse in September and doctors ordered more chemotherapy treatments for his deadly pancreatic cancer.…

AN ADORABLE “unicorn” puppy has a tail growing out of his forehead! The ten-week-old tail wagger was found abandoned and has been named Narwhal after a species of whale that has a unicorn-like tusk. “He’s literally the most magical thing you’ve ever seen!” gushes Rochelle Steffen, whose southeast Missouri–based rescue, Mac’s Mission, took him in. “Everybody wants to see him! It’s become the thing to take selfies with him because he’s just so cute!” X-rays show the tail, which doesn’t wag, contains no bones and Narwhal — whose full name is Narwhal the Little Magical Furry Unicorn — was given a clean bill of health. Rochelle speculates the critter got his extra “tail” after absorbing a twin. It will remain unless it grows inward or gets into Narwhal’s eye, and…

Except it was a worthless spare — Chris Garth had the real thing on the beach in Waikiki, where he had met girlfriend Lauren Oiye two years before. She said yes.

Dubois, says he found Max…

My breasts, they immediately felt cold and numb,” she admits. “I literally had no body temperature on my chest for years … My skin was so thin around my breasts, you could see through it.” Relieved after finally getting the implants and scar tissue removed recently, she says, “I had so many years of complications.… I’m so, so happy.” AN OP MEANS MUSIC FOR MARY! There’s music in MARY STEENBURGEN’s ears — all the time! The 66-year-old star…

KITTY-CRAZED pop star Taylor Swift landed a purr-fect role as Bombalurina in this month’s movie musical Cats. But the perfectionist — who turns 30 on Dec. 13 — still prepped for the part by taking lessons to learn feline movements and mannerisms. Here are ten things you don’t know about the Shake It Off singer. 1 She was named after folk rock legend James Taylor, who finds the fact “hugely flattering.” 2 She was raised on a Christmas tree farm and says her job was “picking the praying mantis pods off of the trees, collecting them so that the bugs wouldn’t hatch inside people’s houses.” 3 She considers 13 her lucky number — but is also fond of 31. 4 She plays four instruments: guitar, banjo, ukulele and piano. 5…

WHEN you eat dinner could affect your risk of heart disease! Researchers have found that women who eat after 6 p.m. may face a greater probability of succumbing to the world’s leading killer. According to a study conducted at New York’s Columbia University, women who ate a higher proportion of their daily calories after 6 p.m. had higher blood pressure, were more overweight and less able to control their blood sugar. Choosing to eat earlier in the evening could be a “simple” way to slash the risk of heart disease, the scientists say. Based on their findings, the team recommends not consuming more than 30 percent of your daily calorie total after 6 p.m. That would be around 600 calories for women and 750 for men, based on government guidelines.…

POT-PUFFING rocker Neil Young wants to vote in the 2020 election — but the feds are nixing his citizenship until he passes a special test that shows his doping hasn’t turned him into a dangerous drug fiend! The 73-year-old Canadian singer of hits like Heart of Gold says he wants to be a dual citizen and has passed the test for citizenship. “Recently, however, I have been told that I must do another test, due to my use of marijuana and how some people who smoke it have exhibited a problem,” he says. Because weed is prohibited at the federal level — though legal in a growing number of states — his toking could be considered a lack of “good moral character,” according to the law. So Young, who in…

The 33-year-old hottie and Karl, 28, son of Intuit software mogul Scott D. Cook, have been together nearly four years, marrying last July, but they don’t live under the same roof. “We’ve kind of been in separate places, but as people see, we’re together all the time,” says Kaley, who previously had a two-year marriage to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting. “But we’ve had separate locations, and whether that’s helped us mentally or not, I’ve obviously never been in a better relationship… In a way, we’re actually taking it slow. “We are building our house… We will be under the same roof, eventually, but this has worked…

I mean, you stick your butt out, you stick your boobs out,” she explains. But the co-host of This Morning is quick to point out her risqué session will remain under wraps! “I went with him to the darkroom to develop them, and then when they were done, I got all the negatives. I know that they will never see the light of day.”…

NIGHT owl Madonna is being sued by an early bird whose feathers have been ruffled by the pop star’s late-starting shows! Nate Hollander said he forked over $1,024.95 for three seats at the Material Girl’s Dec. 17 show in Miami Beach that was due to start at 8:30 p.m. — and then the singer pushed back the starting time by two hours! Hollander gripes the ticket holders have “to work and go to school the next day, which prevents them from attending a concert that would end at around 1:00 a.m.” The would-be concertgoer also accuses the 61-year-old pop legend of repeatedly going on late during her current Madame X Tour, saying she has a “long history of arriving and starting her concerts late.” Hollander is also suing Live Nation,…

JENNIFER LOPEZ plays a stripper in her latest film, Hustlers — but she refused when a director once asked her to doff her top just for giggles! “He wanted to see my boobs!” recalls the 50-year-old diva. “And I was like, ‘We’re not on set.’ And I said no, I stood up for myself. But it was so funny because I remember being so panicked in the moment. “And by the way, there was a costume designer in the room with me, and he says this!” At that point, the Jenny from the Block singer’s Bronx roots took over. “Luckily a little bit of the Bronx came out, and I was like, ‘I don’t have to show you my — No. On the set, you see them.’” ›› “I have…

SEXPOT Marilyn Monroe went commando when she crooned a breathy Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy at a famed May 1962 gala! Yup. According to a new book, the blond bombshell wasn’t wearing any underwear under her curve-kissing gown that night!

HERE’S a really moo-ving story of survival! After Hurricane Dorian swept them out to sea in September, three cows managed to swim to a remote island in North Carolina!

PLANES, Trains and Automobiles is one of America’s most-loved Thanksgiving-themed movies. Starring STEVE MARTIN as high-strung advertising executive Neal Page and JOHN CANDY as annoying but goodhearted curtain-ring salesman Del Griffith, the 1987 kind-of buddy movie follows the duo as they bumble their way from NYC to Chicago for Turkey Day.
