MR. BIG is feeling mighty small — and his friends are worried sick over Chris Noth’s tailspin! Scandal-ridden Sex and the City actor Noth has been reeling since being hit with a string of sexual assault accusations, according to sources, who say the actor’s pals fear he’s trying to drink away his troubles! “Chris honestly feels like his life is over,” spills an insider. “I think drinking is playing a role. Everything is taking a toll. His friends would like him to get some help.” Just before Christmas, two women accused Noth, 67, of sexual assault. Since then, three more women have come forward with similar claims — including actress and screenwriter Zoe Lister-Jones, who said the silver fox was “consistently sexually inappropriate” and was a soused “sexual predator” on…

REAL life Mafia goons hated The Godfather book and were ready to torpedo the movie until the wiseguys got an offer they couldn’t refuse — bit parts in the Hollywood spectacular! Until Paramount Pictures made the deal, the 1972 epic — which many film critics consider the best movie of all time — was destined to sleep with the fishes, according to British author Brian Viner, who is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the flick’s release. At first, Mafia kingpins feared the movie based on Mario Puzo’s best-selling novel would show them and Italian Americans in a bad light, says Viner. Crooner Frank Sinatra, who also had close Mafia ties, hated the book, which features a character based on him — washed-up singer Johnny Fontane, who begs Godfather Vito Corleone…

AFTER surviving a near-fatal battle with a blood-ravaging infection last year, frail Bill Clinton is now caught in a heart transplant drama, according to sources who say the ex-president’s friends and family fear his life depends on getting a new ticker. Since being hospitalized for emergency treatment in October, the 75-year-old politico has seen his health and weight plummet and the condition of his heart is a key concern, insiders say. “The man has not looked healthy,” says a source close to the aging former commander in chief. “He’s thin and lost his strut. He’s getting up there in age, and just doesn’t take care of himself. It’s all coming back to haunt him.” After numerous cardiac crises, Florida internist and life span expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin believes the 42nd…

WITH ever-emerging COVID-19 variants and breakthrough infections ravaging vaccinated Americans, doctors say it’s more important than ever to know the symptoms of the dangerous coronavirus and how they differ from the flu! Respiratory illnesses, such as influenza and the common cold, spike during the winter months, which may make it difficult to determine if body aches and sniffles are caused by COVID. The diseases can share symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, sore throat, coughing and fatigue. But experts say the biggest hallmark of COVID is the loss of taste and/or smell. Signs of the flu emerge within one to four days of exposure, but COVID can have a longer incubation period of up to 14 days. COVID-19 has killed more than 800,000 Americans, but medical professionals say most cases…

PIGHEADED Wyverne Flatt is locked in a mudslinging slugfest with officials in his tiny New York town, who are snorting at him to part with his 100-pound emotional support swine — or risk time in the pen! Earlier this year, the village of Canajoharie enacted a law prohibiting residents from keeping farm animals. But Flatt — devoted owner of a potbellied porker — calls the new rule a bunch of hogwash! The South Carolina native, 54, says his petite piggy Ellie is “a real sweet little animal” and “part of my family.” He admits Ellie was initially just a pet, but claims he grew to depend on her after his “really bad divorce.” Since then, his squealing sidekick got registered as an official emotional support animal — complete with her own…

YELLOWSTONE hardguy Kevin Costner has pulled his marriage back from the brink after years of going his own way and doing exactly what he pleases, sources say. Now the 67-year-old TV cowpoke, who shares three children with 47-year-old handbag designer wife Christine, is a changed man who’s riding hell-bent for leather to keep his marriage and family, spies tattle. “Once Kevin stopped being selfish and self-motivated, and started factoring Christine in all his decisions, their relationship started to flourish,” spills an insider. Now the actor, who plays a ruthless, gruff land baron in the epic Paramount+ series, is practically putty in the hands of his loved ones, including his children Cayden, 14, Hayes, 12, and Grace, 11. “He rarely travels without his wife and kids,” says the insider. “When he’s…

SCANDAL-SCARRED Prince Andrew sparked a new royal war after secretly plotting against his hated older brother, Prince Charles, GLOBE has been told. In a shocking move, pervy “Randy Andy” begged his mother, Queen Elizabeth, to force Charles’ “commoner” wife and daughters-in-law to bow to his royal-blooded children, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice! “Andrew’s desperately trying to salvage his royal status using his kids — and his dying mother!” dishes a disgusted palace courtier. “He detests Charles and wants revenge for being banished from royal life over his relationship with American sex pervert Jeffrey Epstein. “He blames his brother for making him a palace outcast as he faces a civil lawsuit in New York accusing him of raping Epstein sex slave Virginia Giuffre when she was 17. “But trying to humiliate royal…

FORMER porn star Jenna Jameson was so crippled by paralyzing Guillain-Barre autoimmune disorder she “wasn’t able to walk.” The 47-year-old mother of three, the star of flicks Zombie Strippers and Porndemic, is currently hospitalized and undergoing treatment for the nerve-savaging syndrome after her condition plummeted and she was “throwing up for a couple of weeks,” says her partner Lior Bitton. “Her muscles in her legs were very weak,” he says. “So she wasn’t able to walk to the bathroom. I would have to pick her up and carry her to bed.”…

FOX News’ powerhouse Tucker Carlson is a control freak who acts brave and brash when grilling guests on his show, but secretly shies away from people, hates to hug or shake hands, sold his family home after it was surrounded by protestors and has fled to a private enclave, sources say. On his show, Carlson acts like a ferocious fighter for freedom, defending people’s right to oppose COVID vaccine shots and mask mandates. Yet the 52-year-old right-winger — voted 2021’s most influential person in the news media by the website Mediaite — refuses to publicly disclose his own vaccination status. Meanwhile behind the scenes, FOX bigwigs have mandated the shots for employees and require him to admit his vaccination status to them and keep it updated on an internal database.…

TWISTED lovebirds Brinlee Denison and Nicholas Johnson had sex on Sarah Maguire’s bed while listening to the sounds of the brutally battered beauty fighting for her life in the next room, say cops. The horrific murder was the gruesome finish to a bizarre love triangle between Denison, 25, her 28-year-old beau Johnson and female love Maguire, 29, say Tulsa, Okla., lawmen. Police claim the terrible twosome confessed Johnson was in an “intimate” romance with Denison, but “was jealous of the relationship between” her and Maguire. On Jan. 4, the sicko lovers went to Maguire’s house and beat her brains in with a crowbar, say cops. While the bloody and battered woman lay “struggling to live” on her living room floor, the disgusting duo went into Sarah’s bedroom and had sex,…

NOTORIOUS Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss has vowed to fly her Nevada coop — after a cowardly creep shot one of her parrots in the leg with a BB gun! The former hooker honcho, now 56, served 20 months in the slammer for tax evasion in the ’90s after peddling sex to celebrity horndogs — including troubled train wreck Charlie Sheen. But after the Tinseltown temptress cleaned up her act, she settled in Pahrump, about an hour west of Las Vegas, where she’s cared for dozens of parrots. However, her feathers were ruffled last month when a birdbrained triggerman shot her colorful five-year-old macaw, Chuey, who suffered a shattered leg but is expected to recover. “What kind of a sick f**k would shoot her while she was flying with her brother?”…

+ MOUNTAIN hiking, biking and skiing may trigger life-threatening drops in blood sugar for type 1 diabetics, new research suggests. Scientists at the University of Western Australia found after one hour of exercise at a simulated altitude of around 14,000 feet — roughly half the height of Mount Everest — diabetics displayed significantly lower blood sugar levels. Such severe hypoglycemia can cause blackouts, seizures or death, and the researchers advise diabetics take precautions when engaging in strenuous high-altitude activities.…

SERIAL killer and real estate heir Robert Durst died at 78 of natural causes on Jan. 10 after being convicted in September of the execution-style murder of his confidante Susan Berman. Durst, who was worth $100 million, was serving a life sentence for shooting Berman in the head in L.A. in 2000 to cover up what she knew of the disappearance of his wife Kathleen in 1982. He was indicted for Kathleen’s murder in October. In 2001, while on the lam in Texas disguised as a woman, Durst also killed his Galveston neighbor Morris Black, dismembered him and threw the body parts in a bay. He beat that murder rap claiming self-defense.…

A HIGHLY endangered tiger at Florida’s Naples Zoo was shot dead by a cop a few weeks back because an idiot janitor couldn’t keep his hands to himself — and the big cat grabbed the jerk’s offending arm and refused to let go! Frankly, we’re not shedding tears for 26-year-old maintenance worker River Rosenquist, who was supposed to be cleaning the zoo’s restroom and gift shop areas after hours, even though he landed in the hospital. Eko, the 260-pound Malayan tiger, was the REAL victim and paid for Rosenquist’s recklessness with his life. As GLOBE reported last week, officials say Rosenquist entered an “unauthorized area,” climbed over a five-foot fence and stuck his arm into the tiger’s cage to pet or feed the innocent animal. Eko seized the janitor in…

DISCREET Demi Moore may give the impression she’s without a man — but the randy Rough Night star gets plenty of action when she wants it with ordinary Joes, sources tell GLOBE! The twice-divorced Striptease stunner is as sexed up as ever at age 59 — she just keeps her love life on the down-low by hooking up with the hired help and even getting them to sign nondisclosure agreements about their frolics, spies snitch! “It’s been a pastime over the years while she’s been single,” tattles a tipster. “Rather than date another high-profile actor and have the romance set tongues wagging, she goes for a cute trainer or handyman. These guys never kiss and tell. “She still looks incredible — easily half her age — so she can attract…

SO MUCH cocaine was passed around at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, a frequent guest’s pet poodle became a nose-candy junkie! Sondra Theodore, now 65, who became a member of Hef’s harem after appearing as the July 1977 Playboy magazine centerfold, notes the bunny boss, who died at 91 in 2017, put vials of cocaine around his house so guests could take a snort wherever they were — including the bathrooms. In Secrets of Playboy, a new docuseries, Sondra says the dog owned by Hef’s second-in-command, John Dante, became a cocaine junkie. “There were drugs everywhere,” she says. “John had a dog, Louis — and this tiny poodle got hooked on cocaine. The dog could smell it from across the room. He had to lock that dog up when people were around.” One…

DEVOTED daughter Bindi Irwin has found a unique way to honor her dad, late Croc Hunter Steve Irwin — a tattoo on her forearm that says “graceful warrior” in his handwriting! The 23-year-old Aussie TV personality says those were the first words she said when her daughter, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, was born nearly a year ago. “This is my dad’s handwriting to keep him with me, always,” she posted. Steve tragically died at 44 in 2006 from a stingray barb.…

PSYCHO — the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece that made a generation of moviegoers afraid to take a shower — almost didn’t get made. JANET LEIGH starred in what is now considered the first slasher flick, but Paramount HATED the premise and found the story of an embezzler’s unfortunate stay at the creepy Bates Motel “too repulsive!” Hitchcock had to finance it himself — but he was smart to take profits instead of a salary, because it went on to earn $32 million.…
