CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was 45 when he officially came out of the closet in 2012, but he confesses he knew he was gay since he was a kid. “I was probably seven when I kind of realized — I’m not sure I knew the word ‘gay’ at the time, but I realized something was up. Something was different,” says dad of IVF toddler son Wyatt. But Cooper struggled with his sexuality until graduating from Yale University, when the newsman says he “fully embraced it and came around to really loving the fact that I was gay.”…

Sources dish the 54-year-old Food Network star, who turned “semi-homemade” and “tablescape” into household words, is starting over in L.A. after her split with the hunky pol! After waxing poetic in an interview about how she and the 63-year-old governor were still very much entwined in each other’s lives — “He’s still my guy; neither one of us, well as far as I know, has had a date” — Cuomo’s office issued a less than poetic statement: “The governor wishes her well in her next endeavor and we’re sure it will be a success.” Now sources say blindsided…

NASCAR speedster Hailie Deegan drove into hot water when she clobbered a rival in a virtual contest with a slur — and will have to undergo sensitivity training before racing again. The 19-year-old babe, who is also one of the hottest young drivers, is now shamefaced after calling a rival a “retard.” “It was inappropriate slang and a stupid thing to do,” she says. “I apologize to everyone who was offended by it. “There’s no excuse for it, and I know I have to do better for my sponsors and my fans.” The California beauty, who became the first woman to win a race in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series West in 2018, should know better. In April, driver Kyle Larson was suspended and booted off his team for hurling a…

Anyone feel a tiny tinge of sympathy for American-born and bred HILARIA (nee Hillary) BALDWIN, whose fake foreign accent seemed to come and drift for years while she duped the world into believing she was from faraway Espana? The starry-eyed 37-year-old yoga pro/social media influencer, who wed 30 Rock star ALEC BALDWIN in 2012 — while dramatically fanning herself with a Spanish fan — is being dropped like a big sack of papas (potatoes) by high-paying brand partners frowning over the mom of five’s embarrassing scandal.

TWO ghouls stole four heads from graves and used them in a gruesome, black magic ritual designed to protect them from evil spirits, stunned police charge.

Detectives say they found a Palo Mayombe cult shrine at the Lake Wales home of Lopez.

THE symptoms of asthma — gasping for air and heavy coughing — are bad enough during the daytime, but for up to 70 percent of sufferers they’re even worse and much scarier at night. Causes of terrible nighttime attacks can be blamed on exposure to allergens like bed bugs and dust, acid reflux and postnasal drip due to the horizontal sleeping position, stress and change in medication timing. But the nocturnal fits may also be reduced by sleeping in a more upright position, exercising at least twice a week and changing medication dosing and times. One study found inhaling 800 mgs triamcinolone [Azmacort] at 3 p.m. is more beneficial for nighttime than four daily doses of 200 mgs. Experts suggest keeping an inhaler nearby at night.…

DIRECTOR Steven Spielberg bought Rosebud, the child’s sleigh featured at the end of Citizen Kane, for a staggering $55,000! SUPERMARKET carts didn’t exist before 1937. The first was invented by Sylvan Goldman, who owned the Piggly Wiggly market in Oklahoma City. GEORGE Washington never lived — or even slept — in the White House, which wasn’t completed until 1800.
