SOFÍA VERGARA is going back to the drawing board after parting ways with surgeon boyfriend Justin Saliman but that might be easier said than done — GLOBE has learned she’s earning a reputation for being impossible to date! “It’s sad for Sofía because she really thought Justin was different,” spills an insider. “She said he was everything she was looking for that she hadn’t found in other relationships. But it ultimately didn’t work out. “She’s shrugging it off and putting herself back out there because she doesn’t like to be single for long, but there’s a growing sense that she might need to adjust some of her expectations if she wants to find a truly lasting relationship.” Sofía, who finalized her divorce from movie hunk Joe Manganiello in April, made her…

MICHAEL Jackson’s sister La Toya has turned scary skinny after shedding pounds too fast, leaving friends and family fearing she’s wrecked her health and set to follow her brother Tito to the grave. And a medical expert warns if the 68-year-old singer drops too low, she might have to be fed by a tube to save her life! Since Tito died at 70 of a sudden heart attack Sept. 15 in Gallup, N.M., “La Toya has been losing weight drastically and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight,” says a close pal. “Family and friends are very worried, and fear she’ll be the next Jackson family member to go.” The source estimates the 5-foot-4 star, who once weighed about 124 pounds, dropped 25 pounds and looks “emaciated.” “Her…

Whatever happened during the shooting of Cheers that ticked off TED DANSON must have been a doozy because the suave bartender stayed mad at co-star KELSEY GRAMMER for 30 YEARS! After the sitcom about the Boston saloon ended its 11-year run in 1993, Kelsey, 69, spun off his quirky role into the hit show Frasier while Ted, 76, who’d played suds slinger Sam Malone, starred in movies and CSI dramas. Recently, the two buried the hatchet as Ted scratched his head wondering why the slight — which he now didn’t think worth mentioning — caused a three-decade rift. “I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the Cheers years,” he says. “I have a memory of getting angry at you once.” Kelsey recalls: “Yeah, you came…

SAUCY Shirley MacLaine once propositioned Morgan Freeman, but apparently her terms of endearment were not enticing enough for the Kiss the Girls actor. “He turned me down,” the 90-year-old star reveals in her new book, The Wall of Life. Shirley also dishes about her affairs with Robert Mitchum and Australian politician Andrew Peacock during her 30-year open marriage to Steve Parker. “I think that’s the basis for a long-lasting marriage,” she says.…

POOR Matthew Perry apparently didn’t have any REAL friends — not a single member of the sitcom’s cast bothered to visit the grave of their beloved buddy on the solemn one-year anniversary of his tragic death, sources gripe! Though beloved by millions of fans worldwide, his gravesite was visited by just 30 of them — and not a single one of his co-stars, each of whom have professed to be shattered by his death, found time in their busy schedules to join them! “It was depressing,” says one observer. “It was as if Matthew had already been forgotten — only a year after he left us!” The quick-witted entertainer, who publicly struggled for most of his adult life with addictions, sadly died Oct. 28 last year of the “acute effects…

FORMER fitness guru Susan Powter went from raking in $50 million a year to doing deliveries for Uber Eats and GrubHub to make ends meet in a heartbreaking fall from riches to rags! The lithe trainer with the close-cropped platinum-blond hair shot to fame in the 1990s with a fitness empire that included a TV show, best-selling books and an audiotape program with the catchphrase “Stop the Insanity.” But she couldn’t stop her shocking slide into destitution after she says her money was mismanaged. “It’s so hard,” the twice-divorced mom of three says about her struggles in a recent interview. “If sadness could kill you, I’d be dead.” Powter, 66, admits she lost control of both her career and her finances after launching her syndicated TV show, which she says…

A ZOMBIE deer carrying a deadly disease has been found in New York in the first confirmed case of its kind in decades — and health officials have issued an urgent warning to steer clear of eating venison! There is a nearly 100 percent death rate among infected animals with chronic wasting disease (CWD) — popularly referred to as zombie deer disease. The contagious neurological condition causes a horrible death, melting the brain and leaving the deer confused and drooling until a final collapse. There are no treatments or vaccines. Scientists fear that zombie deer disease is evolving to attack people, and the Department of Environmental Conservation cautioned that while “there is no evidence that CWD can infect humans, people should not consume meat from infected animals.” The infected deer,…

BRITISH songbird Adele has been grounded by an agonizing middle ear infection that’s made her deaf in one ear as doctors warn the bug may spread to her throat and destroy her singing voice while triggering severe vertigo! “This is Adele’s worst nightmare,” says a music industry insider. “Her multi-octave voice is everything to her, so this infection can affect her entire career.” The 36-year-old Rolling in the Deep hitmaker recently revealed she went partially deaf while battling the stubborn bacterial infection — known as otitis media — and described the pain as “worse than childbirth.” “It’s very hard to treat,” she shares. “I was on the wrong antibiotics for a few days, and they managed to give me one that started to work. “I wanted to chop my ear…

POP diva Taylor Swift confesses she’s obsessed with numbers, but an expert insists vital digits add up to trouble for her romance with NFL jock Travis Kelce. The Shake It Off singer admits, “I love numbers and they kind of rule my world,” and once in 2009, a 19-year-old Taylor refused to take the stage until she’d written “13,” for her Dec. 13, 1989, birthday, on her hand with eyeliner. But numerologist Glynis McCants, author of the bestselling book Love by the Numbers, says if the 34-year-old songbird had really checked numerology charts, she’d never have hooked up with tight end Travis. “Taylor’s birthday is 12/13/1989 and Travis’ birthday is 10/5/1989,” explains McCants. “This tells us that Taylor’s chart is 78647* with a 7 Attitude while Travis’ chart is 26856*…

IF YOU think a child’s toy box is a mess, imagine the chaos that surrounded the making of the first animated Toy Story movie! An early version before its 1995 debut was such a dog that director John Lasseter complained: “It was a story filled with the most unhappy, mean characters that I’ve ever seen!” That’s because the script was in a constant tug-of-war in an uneasy partnership between Disney honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg and Pixar Animation Studios that produced the first entirely computer-animated feature film, about toys that come to life when humans aren’t around.…

The Voice coach created a stir on the Oct. 21 episode of the hit singing competition after ditching her trademark platinum locks for warm blond wavy tresses with prominent bangs. Fans were quick to point out that she seemed to have had some nip/tucks, too! “Word is, Gwen got some tweaking done to her face — Botox, fillers, lasers, maybe more,” confides an insider. “It makes her feel pretty and turns Blake on.” With her high-pressure Voice gig, Gwen is feeling the need to “keep up” with the competition, explains the insider, adding, “In her view, she has to constantly strive to…

CRABBY Queen Camilla has vowed to keep stepson Prince Harry from worming his way back into the good graces of his father, King Charles, because she’s still steamed over the redheaded rebel and his wife relentlessly trashing Britain’s royal family, courtiers confide. According to tipsters, hopeful Harry hasn’t given up on repairing his wrecked relationship with his relatives — but his livid stepmother is saying that will happen over her dead body! “She’s ready to raise hell over it. There’s no chance she will ever forgive Harry,” a palace insider warns. As GLOBE readers know, the Duke of Sussex and his American-born wife, Meghan, ditched their royal duties in 2020, moved to her home state of California and repeatedly slammed the royals from afar. But spywitnesses say homesick Harry has…

THE war of the Hollywood Hunks is heating up as Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling — who have never had much time for each other — are sharpening their knives as they each vie to be the face of a planned Ocean’s Eleven prequel! Sources snitch Brad — with a boost from his buddy George Clooney — is trying to regain control over the Ocean’s series after learning a script was developed to reel in Ryan, 44, and his Barbie bombshell Margot Robbie as the new franchise leads. “That was a bridge too far for Brad and his team,” spills an insider. “Copycats have always been a problem for Brad but after decades in the business, the stakes have never been higher than they are now.” Brad, 60, has batted…

GLOBE broke the news about The Music Man co-stars HUGH JACKMAN and SUTTON FOSTER secretly canoodling after he split from wife DEBORRALEE FURNESS last year.

SICKENING accusations are piling up against a top New York City plastic surgeon — including a new $10 million civil lawsuit from a model who claims the dirty doc pummeled her, shattering her eye socket, and turned her into a “sex slave” at his luxury Fifth Avenue condo! Maya Willow Sias, 25, shared gruesome photos of herself sporting a purple, swollen face and body bruises — which she claims she received from the fists of Dr. Ammar Mahmoud. “While one would believe that in this day and age it would be impossible to be shocked by depraved and misogynistic conduct, the callous and heinous actions of Dr. Ammar Mahmoud rise to a previously unimaginable level,” says the suit. Sias claims the upper-crust surgeon tried to cover the telltale black eye…

QUIRKY Tootsie and Young Frankenstein star Teri Garr took a sad secret with her to the grave when she died Oct. 29 at 79 after a long battle with multiple sclerosis — for years, she was afraid to tell anyone she had the dreaded disease for fear that jobs would dry up! The leggy blond dancer and actress with a superb sense of comic timing quietly began grappling with the debilitating disease in the late 1990s before publicly confirming her diagnosis in 2002. During much of her career, Garr experienced mild symptoms of the chronic illness, including tingling body parts, tripping, fatigue and muscle weakness — but sources say what really ate at her was the gossip. In her 2005 memoir Speedbumps, she wrote, “Hollywood has its own culture, so…

LAW & Order actor Jack Merrill admits he’s lucky to be alive because as a teen, he was kidnapped and sexually violated by Killer Clown John Wayne Gacy, who murdered at least 33 young men and boys. Gacy, who dressed as a clown and performed for children, preyed on Merrill in 1978 when he spotted the “puny 19-year-old” walking home from a swim at a Chicago YMCA, pulled his car up and asked: “Do you want to go for a ride?” Gacy, then 36, drove by a ramp of the Kennedy Expressway, parked, told the teen to lock the door and splashed liquid on a rag and forced it over Merrill’s face. When Merrill, who had a boyfriend and lived in an apartment, came to, he was handcuffed behind Gacy’s…

CARDI B FELLED BY MEDICAL MYSTERY Barely a week after admittedly getting wrecked on booze at her 32nd birthday bash on Oct. 11, rapper CARDI B was in a hospital for a mystery “medical emergency” and spitting bullets at a prank caller who contacted child protective services saying her kids KULTURE, 6, WAVE, 3, and daughter, born Sept. 7, were in danger. “Motherf**kers have taken s**t too f**king far when you mess with my f**king kids,” fumes Cardi. As for the illness that caused her to be hospitalized and cancel her Oct. 26 gig at One MusicFest in Atlanta, she nixed buzz she’d undergone plastic surgery linked to her recent pregnancy and vowed to be “back better and stronger.” As GLOBE readers know, the hungover songbird vowed, “I will never,…

A TEXAS teen girl — who has been the state’s most wanted fugitive in connection with the brutal July 7 slaying of the manager of a burger eatery — has finally been arrested three months after the fast-food fiasco! Adiah Roberson, 17, was bagged in a Dallas apartment complex parking lot and charged with gunning down “caring” Sonic manager Daniel Shrewsbury — just days before his 34th birthday — after trying to pay for her late-night meal with counterfeit cash. The San Antonio Police Department claims Roberson slaughtered the Sonic staffer after she and two buddies argued with him over the fake funds. A multi-agency operation tracked down the flighty teen after a tip, according to the U.S. Marshals. Another suspect, Joshua Joseph, 27, was arrested in August and charged…

CATFIGHTING former Sex and the City costars Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker can’t stop squabbling even though it’s been ages since they worked together — and they still go to extreme lengths to avoid running into each other, spies dish. “The bad blood’s still very much a thing for these two, and that’s a struggle for their friends who feel they’re being forced to choose sides,” spills an insider. The two have fought for years over salaries, producer credits and Kim’s refusal to participate in a third Sex and the City movie. Although SJP, 59, has repeatedly denied they are feuding, 68-year-old Kim has called out the cliquey, mean-girl culture on the SATC set — and SJP’s efforts to paint her as a money-grubbing diva. Kim was not asked…

COMEDY icon Jerry Lewis directed and starred in more than a dozen movies, but probably his best was The Nutty Professor — a 1963 film he co-wrote that apparently exposed his true, dual personality. As GLOBE revealed last week, Lewis, who raised more than $2 billion in his 45 years of Muscular Dystrophy Association telethons, was fired by charity bigwigs in 2010 because he’d become overbearing and impossible. Yes, onstage Lewis, who died at 91 in 2017, was a lovable crazy schlump — but offcamera, sources say he was a mean, abusive tyrant. Lewis wrote this dual personality into The Nutty Professor, a flick so funny and clever, Eddie Murphy later filmed two versions for himself. The lead character is Prof. Julius Kelp, a brilliant, clumsy chemist who’s terrified of…
