A SPINELESS Washington driver making a bare-bones attempt to skirt the law was caught driving in the HOV lane — with a plastic skeleton in his passenger seat! State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson says the fake figure did not qualify the driver to use the carpool lane on southbound Interstate 405 in the Coal Creek area — even though it was safely buckled in and sportily attired in a yellow hoodie.

+ A NEWLY developed nasal spray prevents COVID-19 infection for up to eight hours, scientists say. Researchers at Finland’s University of Helsinki created the drug to give extra protection to the immunocompromised and others who are severely vulnerable to the killer bug. The medication has yet to be tested in humans. But the team says in lab trials, the spray successfully blocked all current coronavirus variants — including the highly contagious Omicron. The researchers insist the spray is not meant to be a vaccine replacement. But they express hope it could give extra protection to those whose immune system does not produce a robust antibody response after receiving the jab. Lead study author and virologist Dr. Kalle Saksela is optimistic about the drug’s potential, calling it “cheap and highly manufacturable.”…

CLUELESS Courteney Cox has finally jolted awake and says she NOW sees what her friends have been trying to tell her — her overkill cosmetic procedures make her look “strange!” The 57-year-old Friends alum admits she “didn’t know” how weird she looked after she went “crazy” with cosmetic helpers like facial injections, plumpers and fillers in a vain attempt to turn back the hands of time. Critics even accused her of looking like a zombie! “I’m a product whore,” Courteney reveals. “I will try anything.” But now that she is staring down the barrel of turning 60, she claims she is laying off cosmetic procedures and trying to age gracefully. “There was a time when you go, ‘Oh, I’m changing.

SCORNED she-devil Jasmine Martinez snagged a $15,000 federal pandemic relief loan — and used most of the money to hire a hitman who rubbed out her onetime love rival, authorities charge. Miami beauty shop owner Martinez, 33, received a Pay-check Protection Program handout in 2021, shortly before TSA agent Le’Shonte Jones, 24, was fatally gunned down last May in front of her terrified toddler, who was injured during the ambush.

A REVOLUTIONARY gene therapy, which transforms blood cells into tiny cancer-killers, has cured two leukemia patients who were first treated more than a decade ago, experts say. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania administered CAR-T cell therapy to two men with the blood cancer in 2010. Now they say both patients later showed no signs of the deadly disease! The process involves taking cells from the patient’s own blood, which are changed in a lab by adding a gene for a manmade receptor — known as the chimeric antigen receptor — and injecting them back into the same individual. The technique converts T-cells — a type of white blood cell that’s the base of the body’s immune system — into cancer-fighting cells, which are described as living drugs. “We can…
