The My Heart Will Go On singer, 49, who’s still grieving the 2016 loss of husband René Angélil from throat cancer, admits she has 10,000 pairs of shoes — a shocking spike from the 3,000 she claimed to have in 2013! “I am unable to part with any item,” confesses the fashionista. “I cannot give anything away because every piece I buy has brought me to where I am. They’re part of every step that I take, and I have an attachment to it. “You can call it crazy. I keep everything, but I just keep buying bigger warehouse space.”…

+ STEROIDS injected into the buttocks may offer as much relief for osteoarthritis pain as a jab directly into an affected joint, say scientists. Researchers at Erasmus Medical Center in Holland tested more than 100 people suffering from agonizing hip arthritis and found patients who received the less risky muscle injection enjoyed up to three months with reduced discomfort. “It’s the fifirst study to show injecting the muscle can be effective,” says rheumatologist Dr. Fraser Birrell.…

FLIES can pose a serious health risk when they land on food — and experts advise steering clear of flfly-tainted fifixings! That’s because the irritating insects can spread dangerous germs via their legs or by quickly vomiting on food! The vermin can’t chew, so they eject digestive enzymes on the food before starting to eat it. Since some of their favorite snacks include decaying meat and feces, the buzzing bugs have been found to carry more than 200 types of harmful bacteria. “They only need to touch your food for a second for their legs or the tiny hairs all over their bodies to transfer germs from all those nasty things they eat onto what you are eating,” says entomologist Ron Harrison. “And since flflies can transfer serious, contagious diseases…

WEALTHY pop star George Michael could afford to go anywhere in the world — but the late Freedom! singer was an obese dope fiend and shut-in who liked to sit at home halfnaked, scarfing ice cream and watching soap operas! That’s the stunning portrait of the I Want Your Sex singer, according to 58-year-old Texan Kenny Goss, who was the British star’s gay lover from 1996 to 2009. George, who shockingly died at age 53 of an enlarged heart and liver last Dec. 25, had homes in Saint- Tropez, Beverly Hills, Dallas and London. But his favorite was his mansion in the English countryside, where he’d lay around in his gray flannel pajamas gorging on tubs of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream — and bingeing on crack cocaine, ecstasy and…

RUSSIAN-LOVING movie tough guy Steven Seagal has been banned from entering the Ukraine for fifive years — thanks to his big mouth! The traitorous martial arts star infuriated the Cossacks by publicly supporting Russia and its takeover of Crimea, which previously belonged to the Ukraine. Steven’s butt-kissing praise of Kremlin kingpin Vladimir Putin so impressed the dictator, he awarded the American-born actor Russian citizenship in a televised ceremony last year. Now furious Ukrainian bigwigs have banned Steven “on the basis of national security.”…

ROSEANNE, one of the most successful ’90s TV comedies, is making a comeback — but the joyful reunion will be overshadowed by a dark tragedy! The blue-collar family sitcom, featuring Roseanne Barr, John Goodman and Sara Gilbert, will be missing one of its brightest stars: Glenn Quinn. The Irish actor — who played Mark Healy, the tough-guy hubby of Roseanne’s TV daughter Becky — tragically died in 2002 of a heroin overdose. He was 32. Glenn had made a bundle while working on the show, but after getting hooked on booze and drugs, he lost it all. During his sad last days, the homeless junkie had been crashing on a friend’s couch — which was where his lifeless body was found. The handsome, green-eyed Irishman starred on Roseanne from 1990…

GOODY two-shoes Debbie Reynolds had a taste for lesbian love, newly released FBI documents reveal! Working under specific orders from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Oval Office, G-men checked out the Singing in the Rain sweetheart and discovered both she and first hubby Eddie Fisher enjoyed same-sex romps. According to newly declassified FBI files, a gay man told investigators, “Fisher was a homosexual and his wife, Debbie Reynolds, was a person who engaged in both normal and homosexual relations.” While the file contains “no more information” about Debbie and Eddie, other superstars caught in the probe of Hollywood’s gay scene included Danny Kaye, Arthur Kennedy, director Vincente Minnelli, Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling and actress Shelley Winters! Film historian Robert Osborne later claimed Debbie, who was GLOBE’s longtime advice columnist and…

QUEEN Elizabeth’s fragile 95-year-old hubby Prince Philip is dying — and won’t see another Christmas! That’s the REAL reason the Queen shocked the world earlier this month with the announcement her royal consort will retire from public life by the fall, palace sources tell GLOBE. “Sadly, the end is very near for Philip,” says a palace insider close to Britain’s ruling family. “He’s very, very sick. Her Majesty and her doctors believe Philip won’t live long enough for the family’s annual holiday festivities at Balmoral Castle.” Greek-born Philip is suffering from advanced heart disease, high blood pressure and dementia, sources say. The crusty old coot is extremely forgetful, rude, insulting and inappropriate at public appearances. His own grandson, Prince Harry, describes the former British naval commander’s mind as “sort of…

BEYONCÉ GETS LIPPY Preggers BEYONCÉ is hoppin’ mad over rumors she has ballooned her lips with cosmetic fillers. The Single Ladies songbird, who’s expecting twins with hubby Jay Z, has been posting a photo diary of her pregnancy, and her lips are looking like big fat sausages, triggering a filler fiasco. Her rep issued a denial saying pregnancy often causes gals to bloat, and blasted the rumormongers as “despicable” for “picking on a pregnant lady!” Yeah! SHATNER FINALLY WEIGHTLESS!

+ NEW research suggests that low doses of aspirin taken three time a week can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 16 percent!

BROKE, battling HIV and with nothing to live for, booze-fueled Charlie Sheen tried to end it all in a blaze of glory by burning himself alive in an unhinged suicide attempt. But as the chilling incident caught on tape shows, the 51-year-old sleazeball was so drunk and drugaddled, he even botched his own death! “Charlie wanted to go out in a blaze of glory — literally,” says a source. “His life has come crashing down and he felt as if he had nothing left to live for!” At one time, the Two and a Half Men actor was the highest paid TV star, raking in a staggering $1.8 million per episode, and boasted he was worth more than $100 million. But now, the pathetic mess is so broke, he’s reduced…

SERIAL cheater Chris Rock admits he’s to blame for his 2016 divorce from ex-wife Malaak Compton-Rock, the mother of his two daughters — Lola, 14, and Zahra, 13. The comic, 52, says he thought he could run around on Malaak because he was the family’s breadwinner. He had a rumored hook up with Scandal hottie Kerry Washington, says a source. “I wasn’t a good husband a lot of the times. I was a piece of s--t,” he says.…

BIPOLAR time bomb Robert Carradine admitted purposely ramming his car headon into a truck, according to shocking charges by his wife, Edie. Four months after the March 2015 Colorado crash, the Revenge of the Nerds star “confessed to me and our two children that he deliberately drove into the truck to kill us both,” says Edie in court papers. But bombshell divorce documents reveal Robert, 63, blames Edie for the crash — accusing her of triggering his “acute psychosis” by cutting off his meds and forcing him to drive. Mental health expert Dr. Gilda Carle calls his claims wacko! “If he admittedly was in a psychotic state, how could anyone take his word?” says Dr. Carle, who has not treated the actor. “His statement would be slanted because he is…

JOHN LENNON’S New York City apartment is already worth millions — but it just got a bump in value! The spacious digs in the Dakota — the tony building where Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, still resides — has $30,000 hidden beneath the floorboards, according to real estate heirs Toby and Larry Milstein. The pair says a former owner of the ritzy digs stashed the cash — but the hoity-toity co-op board refuses to mangle the historic parquet to recover the rumored booty! I’m not obsessive, like I have to have the best butt or the best abs, but I like the idea of feeling strong and healthy. — Halle Berry…

THE VIEW’s biggest star, Whoopi Goldberg, is threatening to bolt at the end of this season unless her diva-like demands are met! ABC bigwigs are reportedly begging the Emmy-winning talk show host to sign for three more seasons. The Oscar-winning Ghost star, 61, who’s been with the chatfest since 2007, raked in $2.5 million this year, and now wants MORE! Sources say she seeks at least a $1.5 million raise, a position as an executive producer and a senior staff shake-up! “She wants this one ABC executive off the show,” spills a snitch on the set. “She blames this person for trying to turn The View into Good Morning America with the rotating hosts and contributors, and doesn’t want that exec involved in the show anymore,” the spy reveals. “If…

A TENNESSEE man with a sci-fi-loving dad is a living, breathing tribute to Star Wars! Darth Vader Devon Williamson — yes, that’s his real birth name — works as a surgical assistant at a Memphis hospital, although some think he’s a real-life Jedi! “I’ve been asked for autographs. I’ve been asked to take pictures,” says the Texas-born guy. “I’ve had people say, ‘Hey, the opening for Star Wars is coming up, can you go with me?’” Williamson, 39, can credit — or blame — the unique moniker to his father, who admired the Star Wars villain. “This would be one badass name for our son,” his dad, Anthony Williamson, gushed to new mom Patricia Knowles. With the fog of anesthesia clearing, Patricia — who hadn’t even seen Star Wars —…

A HORRIFIC stroke may have permanently silenced beloved country music legend Loretta Lynn as friends fear the ailing icon will never sing again! Since being stricken on May 4, the 85-year-old Coal Miner’s Daughter remains hospitalized, and a source tells GLOBE Loretta has been struggling to speak — much less sing — since the heartbreaking catastrophe. “This is just the cruelest blow for Loretta,” confesses the source. “Singing is not only her life’s work, but her life’s love. For her to be robbed of that is just beyond devastating!” Another insider dishes to GLOBE that Loretta “has always been a battler” and recovered from a bout of pneumonia in 2001 and a broken left shoulder in 2006 — but sadly adds “the prospects of her ever being able to take…

GLOBE EXCLUSIVE WASTED to a skeletal 108 pounds, superstar Cher is being ravaged by a mysterious liver disorder and desperately may need a transplant in order to cheat death! That’s the shocking diagnosis of a top medical expert and the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology, an Albany, Ohio, firm that uses a special computer algorithm to uncover serious health issues by analyzing a person’s voice. BioAcoustic CEO Sharry Edwards says the revolutionary computer code found the 71-yearold If I Could Turn Back Time songbird has “a dangerous imbalance of certain nutrients — especially choline, glycine and inositol. “This could indicate a problem with her metabolism, which would suggest an underlying issue with her liver.” Edwards urges Cher “to get a blood test for liver problems as soon as possible.” New York…

MUSICIAN Nick Endacott claims he’s the secret son of the late Bee Gees great Maurice Gibb — but he needs Mo’s surviving brother to prove he’s not jive talkin’! Nick says his biological mom, Patti Nolder, who gave him up for adoption at birth, had an affair with Maurice during London’s Swinging Sixties, and three facial recognition tests confirm he strongly resembles the late star with a 95.2 percent probability. Now he’s begging surviving Bee Gees brother Barry, 70, for a DNA test to prove whether he’s Maurice’s love child for medical reasons. “I know people will think I’m doing this for money or some claim on the Gibb estate — but I’m not,” Nick insists. “I’ll be 50 next year and this is a crucial stage in my life,…

MADONNA is so desperate to prove she’s not a wrinkled, has-been pop star, she’s shamelessly posting pics of herself nude — at age 58! The topless shots stop short of revealing all of the starved-for-attention star’s boobs. Still they’re much more than anyone wants to see of a granny-aged gal and mom of four brats: Lourdes, 20, and Rocco, 16, and adopted African-born David and Mercy, both 11. “Her kids have got to be ashamed, especially the little ones,” says a source. “No child wants to see their mom posing nude online, especially if the woman is nearly 60!” While the pics show a smooth-skinned torso, the Material Girl’s hands are those of a wrinkled, old hag, revealing her true age. Ironically, the pop diva has always used nudity and…

THE BEATLES’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band — regarded by many as the greatest album of all time — celebrates its 50th anniversary on May 26. In honor of the album’s re-release, GLOBE reveals 10 things you didn’t know about the record. 1 Paul McCartney suggested recording an entire album by the fictional Sgt. Pepper band because the alter-ego group would let them to experiment musically. 2 The gate-fold cover, designed by artist Peter Blake, was one of the most expensive ever created at the time, costing $4,000 rather than the usual $70. 3 The original release included a sheet of cardboard cutouts featuring a moustache, badge and military stripes. 4 Sessions for Sgt. Pepper totaled more than 400 hours, but the band’s first album Please Please Me took…

A HIGH-LIVING mom who funded her expensive tastes by stealing nearly $1 million from Chicago’s famous Field Museum will cool her heels in the slammer! Data specialist Caryn Benson raked in more than $900,000 over a six-year period starting in 2008 by pocketing cash payments for museum memberships! She also kept cash when patrons paid for drink tickets at special events at the natural history museum!

PEOPLE who have swapped sugary sodas for diet drinks to improve their health are actually putting themselves at a greater risk of stroke and dementia, according to new research. A study published in the medical journal Stroke says people who drink diet sodas every day are three times more likely to develop those life-threatening conditions than those who drink them once a week or less. “This included a higher risk of ischemic stroke, where blood vessels in the brain become obstructed, and Alzheimer’s disease dementia, the most common form of dementia,” says Dr. Matthew Pase, lead author of the report. While Pase cautions more research is needed, he says the evidence “does identify an intriguing trend that will need to be explored,” and says people should be “cautious” about their…

RESEARCHERS believe they’ve discovered a shortcut to kickstart weight loss — a fat-burning pill! The chemical PPARD, short for peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor delta, helps build endurance during intense physical activity and exercise. A study at the Salk Institute has determined a drug capable of ramping up PPARD production could help increase stamina and lead to more fat burning. “Exercise activates PPARD, but we’re showing that you can do the same thing without mechanical training,” says study author Weiwei Fan. “It means you can improve endurance to the equivalent level as someone in training, without all of the physical effort.” The drug would be beneficial to those unable to exercise, especially the disabled and those with serious heart conditions. Clinical trials for humans to test the research are expected soon.…

U.S. SENATOR Bernie Sanders’ wife, Jane, is in hot legal water — she’s being investigated for bank fraud by the FBI. As the president of Vermont’s Burlington College, Jane allegedly lied on bank loan applications in 2010, which stated the college would get $2.6 million in donations to pay for land to expand the campus. In fact, the school only raised $676,000. The wife of the Democratic presidential candidate later resigned from her post in 2011 — and the college went bankrupt and shut down a year ago. “It’s never too late — never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.” — Jane Fonda…

After months of on-air flirting and a behind-thescenes romance, the co-hosts of the politically charged MSNBC morning show became engaged in France during a vacation to celebrate Mika’s 50th birthday. “We have a crackling on-air chemistry, and a crackling off-air chemistry, too,” quips conservative Joe, 54, about his liberal lady love, who divorced husband James Hoffer last year after 23 years of marriage.…

SNATCHED star Amy Schumer stunned writer Katie Dippold and director Jonathan Levine when she pitched a scene that would have co-star Goldie Hawn spitting what she thinks is whale semen in Amy’s face — but Oscar winner Goldie didn’t even blink. “They all just kind of stared at me,” Amy told Howard Stern during an interview. “Except for Goldie, who went, ‘That’s funny.’ “Goldie and I had no disagreements about jokes,” reveals Amy.…

STAR APPRECIATES DAYS COMEBACK DRAKE Hogestyn (John, Days of Our Lives) was recovering from a brain injury last December when a beloved castmate, Joseph Mascolo (ex-Stefano), passed away. Now back at work, Drake feels the loss deeply. “I really loved that guy. I thought that he was going to live forever,” he says, adding Joseph’s “mom and dad lived up to their hundreds.” The ordeals of the past year have opened his eyes: “As we go through weddings and funerals on the show, we do it in our own lives, too, and it’s kind of crazy.” Now Drake engages more with his co-stars. “I’m trying to listen more and be involved in conversation more and let people know how I feel about them as often as I can.” TV VET GETS…

A LONGTIME employee of a Louisiana tourism bureau temporarily made her organization’s website X-rated — by performing a live striptease meant for her hubby’s eyes only! After mistakenly streaming the racy, 30-minute flesh show from her hotel room on her work phone, slinky Lynn Dorsey was stripped from her job as tourism director for Webster Parish, La. Lynn made her sultry video on a business trip to Baton Rouge for husband Bobby’s private viewing. But somehow it streamed on her workplace’s Instagram account. “I am mortified,” she says. “I would never send that type of content out intentionally.” After suspending her in January, the tourism board voted to fire Lynn. Now the 10-year employee is suing to get her job back, contending the board did not “comply with the requirements…

KELSEY GRAMMER shot from small-time theater gigs to TV superstardom in the ’80s, thanks to a six-show role as blowhard psychiatrist Frasier Crane on sitcom smash Cheers. That short engagement morphed into a two decade laugh-filled run. While this 1991 snap catches Grammer’s pompous shrink in grim shape, the classically-trained actor was all smiles in 1993 after Frasier was spunoff into a hit show. Offscreen, the actor has struggled with booze and drugs — including a ’90s arrest for drunk driving and cocaine possession. Since marrying wife number four, the 25-years-younger Kayte Walsh, he’s mostly stayed out of trouble — unless you count becoming a father for the seventh time at age 62!…
