PIRATES of the Caribbean hunk Orlando Bloom confesses he took life for granted until he was nearly paralyzed from a fall and faced spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair. The 44-year-old star, father of singer Katy Perry’s year-old daughter Daisy, ended up in a back brace when he “crushed” his spine, and “narrowly escaped death and paralysis” after falling three-stories while climbing up a drainpipe to a roof terrace in 1998. The fall was part of his then-edgy lifestyle. “I used to ride motorbikes and drive cars like everything was a racetrack — it was ridiculous. It wasn’t because I thought it was cool — it was just because I loved living on the edge,” he says. Since cheating death, he says: “I’ve chilled.”…

THE dreaded middle-aged spread is caused by lifestyle habits — and not an increasingly sluggish metabolism — according to new research. A team of scientists investigated the common belief that once humans hit 40, our bodies more slowly use energy derived from food and develop wider waistlines. Dr. John Speakman, of Scotland’s University of Aberdeen, says of his group’s findings, “Perhaps the most unexpected feature was the constancy of metabolic rate in both males and females between the ages of 20 and 60. “This suggests if you are experiencing middle age spread, it’s more likely to be because you are eating more rather than expending less.” The researchers say metabolism doesn’t truly decline until 60, when people may have up to 30 percent more body fat than they did in…

CHEEKY Heidi Klum was the butt of her own joke after her self-inflicted wardrobe malfunction left her flashing her assets at the audience while taping America’s Got Talent! The supermodel, 48, showed more than her sense of humor on Instagram when she reposted a video of herself leaning over to take a selfie with fellow judge and actress Sofia Vergara. The clip revealed the precarious position caused Heidi’s minidress to rise above her naked rear! The German-born beauty added in the caption: “Note to self … don’t bend over in a short skirt.” However, Heidi is no stranger to flashing flesh. The former lingerie model regularly shows off her fit figure while sunbathing in barely there bathing suits. In July, she shared a social media shot of herself wearing little…

HOOPS legend Shaquille O’Neal says he nixed a five-year shoe deal worth a whopping $40 million because the costly sneakers would screw his young fans. The four-time NBA champ says he cut ties with Reebok sports shoes after a furious woman blasted him for pushing sneakers that cost so much. He says, “I said, ‘Lady I don’t make the prices,’” and she told him, “‘Why don’t you motherf**kers make a shoe that’s affordable?’ “I was like, ‘You know what, she’s right.’ So that day, I cut ties with Reebok and started my own brand.” He made a deal with Walmart to sell sneakers in the $19 to $29 price range. He says kids will wear $20 shoes so long as they don’t “look like they cost $20. “Since then we…

POP star Sting is apologizing for accusing an Italian duke of tricking him into buying a winery! After being accused of “poisonous slander” by the late Duke of San Clemente’s furious son Simone Velluti Zati, Sting writes: “You are right, I owe you an apology. “The story as reported was disrespectful to the memory of your distinguished father and, for that, I offer my sincere and unequivocal apologies.” As GLOBE reported, Sting plunked down $4 million for the Palagio winery in 1997 after sampling a glass of wine offered by the duke. But the wine given to Sting was from another region, and Palagio’s wine was so terrible he saw a guest empty their glass in a flower bed! Now Sting regrets the insulting switched–wine story, saying: “I am truly…

NOTORIOUS gangster Al Capone’s prized pistol — and letters he penned to his only child, Sonny, while holed up in Alcatraz — are being put on the block by the ruthless racketeer’s surviving granddaughters! California-based auctioneer Witherell is slated to sell the Prohibition-era bootlegger’s stash on Oct. 8 and says the cache includes Capone’s “favorite” Colt .45, a platinum pocket watch encrusted with 90 diamonds and a monogrammed pocketknife. In addition, Capone’s bejeweled tie bar and a 14K monogram diamond pendant are part of the sale, which also contains family photographs, home movies, trinkets and furniture that once belonged to the Chicago crime kingpin and his wife, Mae. In total, the collection is expected to fetch $700,000. But in 2017, one of Capone’s timepieces grabbed more than $84,000 after going…

The 50-year-old TV blonde slapped Girardi, 82, with divorce papers in November shortly after the financial firestorm broke when Tom’s law firm filed for bankruptcy — after giving Jayne $25 million.

He reportedly suffers from dementia and now lives in Belmont Village Senior Living community, which charges about $4,750 a month for a private suite.

TWISTED Tamarius Davis Jr. was “high on mushrooms” when he gunned down a heroic tourist bravely protecting his baby son and broke into a gleeful dance as the devoted dad lay dying at a Miami Beach restaurant, cops claim. Doomed Colorado resident Dustin Wakefield, 21, and his wife and one-year-old boy were dining at an eatery’s outdoor patio when the gun-toting goon from Norcross, Ga., set his sights on them, lawmen say. “This guy came in with a gun, waving it, saying it’s time to die. He pointed the gun at his son, and Dustin said, ‘He’s only a boy,’” says Dustin’s uncle Mike Wakefield. “Dustin stood up between the gunman and the baby, and he shot him. He shot him multiple times on the ground.” Even worse, a witness…

ROBERT F. KENNEDY’S nine surviving children are so at odds over whether their father’s killer, Sirhan Sirhan, deserves parole they are no longer speaking, sources snitch. “They’re not just arguing about it anymore. It’s gotten quite ugly,” says a family insider. “Their mom, Ethel, is on her last legs and the last thing she wants is bitterness to erupt in her family and it has. “She feels the cause is in large measure due to the Sirhan Sirhan thing coming out of nowhere.” While 77-year-old Sirhan’s bid for freedom was supported by RFK sons Douglas, 54, and Bobby Jr., 67, six other children blistered the parole board’s decision to free the assassin in a scathing letter. “As children of Robert F. Kennedy, we are devastated that the man who murdered…

On May 7, 1945, the day of Germany’s official surrender, the star, whose hit flicks included Morocco, Blonde Venus and The Devil Is a Woman, hopped off a Jeep dressed in army fatigues and introduced herself as “Captain Dietrich” to British Lt. Arnold Horwell, who was running…
