PINT-SIZED powerhouse Paula Abdul’s last-minute cancellation during her highly publicized comeback tour has sparked fears the Straight Up singer, 55, is on the verge of tumbling back into her bulimia nightmare. The former American Idol judge, who battled the bingeand- purge disorder for 17 years, canceled her Denver concert on June 10, mysteriously citing a “temporary injury,” though she swears she’s “on the mend.” “Everyone’s terrifified she could have a bulimia relapse. She’s been moaning about how tough it is dancing these days on stage and has said she wishes she wasn’t so heavy,” a pal says. “She wants to handle the choreography better — and her friends know this is a dangerous path. It wouldn’t take much for her to relapse again.”…

CHEAPSKATE TV chef Gordon Ramsay is boiling mad after being caught banishing his four kids to the back of the plane while he and his wife flew first class! Worth nearly $60 million, Gordon, 50, says he wasn’t about to spend $19,000 to fly his brood from L.A. to London — and dropped a few “F-bombs” in a vicious rant. “You can buy a f***king car for that,” he seethes. “Why does my six-year-old need a big f***ing seat, a 10-course menu with caviar and champagne in first class? “What are they going to be like when they are 18? They are f***ed.” Meanwhile, Ramsay’s father-in-law, Chris Hutcheson, was sentenced to six months in prison for hacking the star’s company computers, while his brothers-in-law were sentenced to four months!

TO SCORE 7 TIMES! HITTING the jackpot has nothing to do with luck, says lottery winner Richard Lustig, whose ingenious methods have snagged him the grand prize a whopping SEVEN times — and now he’s sharing his secrets with the readers of GLOBE! Follow his simple steps and reap the rewards. Lustig tells GLOBE the key is not in picking new lottery numbers, but in sticking with a certain set for as long as it takes to score. “Winning the lottery doesn’t have anything to do with [how you choose] numbers,” Lustig says. “A number does not win the lottery — a set of numbers wins the lottery.” He warns that after making your selection, your work is only beginning and suggests “you do your research to see if that…

THE house where tragic two-year-old tot Caylee Anthony lived is facing foreclosure, leaving her grandparents homeless! But George and Cindy Anthony won’t be getting a bail-out from their daughter, Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of murdering Caylee after a 2011 trial. “There is still so much bad blood between Casey and her parents, especially her dad,” says a source. In April, U.S. Bank sued to seize the Anthonys’ Orlando, Fla., home, where Casey grew up and Caylee lived until early June 2008, two weeks before she vanished. Her body was found months later. “If they don’t pay up soon, the bank will sell off the home,” says a source. “I don’t give a s**t what anyone thinks about me,” says callous Casey. “I’m OK with myself. I sleep pretty good…

HOLLYWOOD macho man CHARLES BRONSON spent two decades playing tough guys and appearing in classics like The Magnifificent Seven and The Dirty Dozen. The ruggedly handsome actor — born Charles Buchinsky — landed a string of starring roles in gritty action movies in the early 1970s, including The Valachi Papers and Mr. Majestyk, but it was 1974’s Death Wish — seen here — that harnessed his dangerous and menacing on-screen energy and turned him into a blockbuster star, portraying architect-turned-vigilante Paul Kersey in fifive movies. After years of fifiring and dodging bullets on screen, Bronson battled Alzheimer’s disease until 2003, when he died at 81.…

WORLD EXCLUSIVE EVIL D.C. Sniper Lee Boyd Malvo, who killed 10 people in cold blood from the trunk of a car, is poised to be released this summer — sparking fears he’ll turn America’s roads into Highways to Hell. Chillingly, legal expert Peter Gleason warns Malvo may revert back to his murderous ways once he’s out by means of a legal loophole. “He’s a classic example of somebody who spent his entire adult life in prison and that’s all he knows,” says Gleason. “He may go out and commit another crime so that he could go back to the only lifestyle that he knows.” Sentenced to life without parole in Virginia and Maryland, Malvo, now 32, was 17 when he and his mentor John A. Muhammad terrorized the Washington, D.C.,…

FORGET about President Oprah — the media titan and talk show queen has crossed running for the White House off her bucket list! Tagged by some as the top Democratic contender to run against Donald Trump in 2020, the 63-year-old billionaire vows: “I will never run for public office. That’s a pretty definitive thing.” She’s also not certain she would win, saying: “I don’t know — but I’ll never know the answer because I will never run.” Ironically, before launching his 2016 campaign, Trump said super-popular Oprah would be his dream running mate. Now, Oprah’s concentrating on her acting career. “I love this acting thing,” says The Color Purple star. “You get to explore the nature of another human being. “I find it opens me up and stimulates me in a…

A TWO-TIMING louse has been indicted for murder in the AIDS death of his mistress — who authorities say didn’t know her lover was infected with the HIV virus until it was too late! Ronald Murdock, 51, of Toledo, Ohio, dated Kimberly Klempner for five years, without telling her he was married — or HIV positive, say investigators. “He should have warned her. He should have told her,” slams Kimberly’s adult son, Josh Klempner. According to law enforcement, the liar long hid the state of his health from the 51-year-old grandmother — who made the shocking discovery herself! “My mother ... stayed the night at his house, and she felt something was up. She did some snooping and ran across a few pill bottles. She did a little research on…

SORRY, ORLANDO YOU’RE NOT NO. 1 SEXPOT songbird Katy Perry turns her romances into hit tunes — and now reveals who’s No. 1 on her bedroom charts — ladies’ man John Mayer! Despite torrid flings with nine hotties, Katy coyly suggests only three measure up — John, notoriously wellendowed Orlando Bloom and record-spinner DJ Diplo. “They’re all amazing lovers,” the I Kissed a Girl cutie told late night TV host James Corden. “I would have sex with all of them when I get out of this place.” But when pressed, Perry revealed Diplo, aka rapper Thomas Wesley Pentz, finishes third in her sack race. Last year’s toy Orlando, who caused a stir by letting it all hang out as he paddled Katy around the Mediterranean, comes in second. On-and-off hook-up…

OFFICIAL MUG SHOT HEARTBROKEN relatives of Bobbi Kristina Brown are seething over the latest charges facing Nick Gordon, the violent fiancé of Whitney Houston’s late daughter — because they believe Nick should ALREADY be behind bars! Nick, 28, was busted by cops on June 10 for beating his girlfriend Laura Leal, 26 — seven months after he was ordered to pay Bobbi Kristina’s kin $36 million after being found responsible for her death in a civil trial! Family insiders say if cops had jailed Nick for 22-year-old Bobbi Kristina’s death, the recent reported attack would NEVER have happened. “He should be in prison!” Bobbi Kristina’s dad, singer Bobby Brown, exploded last year. He holds Gordon responsible for giving his daughter a “toxic cocktail” of drugs that left her in a…

THE MOST EXCLUSIVES EVERY WEEK! TV GOLDEN girl Megyn Kelly’s embarrassing debut on NBC has exploded into a major mess — leaving horrified bigwigs scrambling to right the ship before the wayward anchor sinks the network! Megyn’s “going through a total nightmare right now, and it’s only getting worse,” dishes an insider to GLOBE. The former FOX newsgal debuted on NBC with a highly anticipated sit-down with Russian P r e s i d e n t Vladimir Putin. But the interview bombed: Viewers craved a hard-hitting confrontation, but Megyn tossed softball questions to the smug and vicious strongman. “Her interview with Putin was a total flop. She came across totally cold and unimaginative. Her questions were boring, and the fact he sat opposite her rolling his eyes and not…

BROADWAY diva Bette Midler may have scored a Tony Award for Hello, Dolly!, but she now admits her comeback may be her final curtain. That’s no secret to GLOBE readers, however, who learned of Bette’s on-stage struggles in the May 15 issue! Insiders dish to GLOBE that the singer — whose “energy” level was “disturbingly low,” according to one critic — was coughing and fighting for air during previews for the musical, leading pals to fear for her health! Now the 71-year-old star is repeating our lines! “It’s a very, very tough schedule, and I’m a woman of a certain age. I’m at death’s door, so I wasn’t really keen to put these dancing shoes on again,” she says of her return to theater, adding that she’s “lost 30 pounds.”…

TROUBLED Demi Moore is sporting dentures after stress caused her to snap off her two front teeth! The Empire star made the stunning confession on The Tonight Show and shared a shocking snapshot of her gaping grin — minus only one fang! “I’d love to say it was skateboarding or something really kind of cool, but it’s something that’s important to share because I think it’s literally, probably after heart disease, one of the biggest killers in America, which is stress,” says the 54-yearold actress. Stress sufferers often grind or clench their teeth. “Stress sheared off my both my front teeth,” says Demi, hit by a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of a man who drowned during a 2015 party held at her home while she was away.…

This year the 52-year-old actress graces the summer blockbuster Spider- Man: Homecoming, playing Peter Parker’s Aunt May. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about Marisa. 1 She was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1964 and was drawn to acting after her parents began bringing her to Broadway shows. 2 Marisa dropped out of college to join CBS soap As the World Turns as Marcy Thompson, who she calls “the only person on a soap opera never to have been kissed.” 3 Still happily single, she said in 2009, “I’m not that big a fan of marriage as an institution.” 4 She…

NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, whose lost deal with Nature’s Bakery in early 2017 left her race team scrambling for sponsorship, isn’t helping matters with her attitude. After being booed for shooing away an autograph seeker at the Pocono Raceway, Danica sniped: “My job is not to sign autographs. My job is to drive a car and to tell the crew chief what’s going on. I don’t appreciate the booing. It hurts my feelings. I’m a f**king person.”…

NOTORIOUS womanizer President John F. Kennedy was hot for gay sex from an early age — and even installed his homosexual lover in the White House — much to First Lady Jackie Kennedy’s horror! That’s the bombshell revelation made by Camelot clan biographer Jerry Oppenheimer, who made the stunning discovery while grilling insiders for his book RFK Jr.: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream. Sources told him JFK’s closest pal — gay prep school chum Kirk LeMoyne “Lem” Billings — was MUCH MORE than a platonic friend! As teens, Lem and Jack became close at Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. While Lem was immediately attracted to the future president, JFK insisted at the time, “I’m not that kind of boy.” But over time, his resolve…

WHITNEY HOUSTON would be alive today if she hadn’t met bad boy singer Bobby Brown, charges her exbodyguard David Roberts! Verbally and physically abusive, Bobby “was jealous of her success,” says Roberts, 64. “He rubbed her face in his cheating, but she forgave him [for] every possible indiscretion. It ate away at her.” Alongside her druggie hubby, Whitney became hooked on cocaine-laced joints and crack, says Roberts. When the guard desperately tried to sound the alarm, he was fired in 1995 after seven years of looking out for the songbird! After Whitney, 48, was found facedown in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub in 2012, Roberts says he “was not surprised,” but adds, “It could have been stopped. “So many people abdicated responsibility in favor of greed.” Asked if Whitney would…

ABC shocked media pundits by renewing America’s Funniest Home Videos — making it the lowest rated show to get the nod for the 2017- 2018 season! “It’s tough for them to keep hold of an audience,” admits one critic. “People can share videos in a heartbeat on Facebook and other social media channels. It makes a show like AFV obsolete.” Even longtime host Tom Bergeron abandoned his gig in 2015, leaving the duties to upstart Alfonso Ribeiro. But despite AFV’s dismal performance, the sentimental fan favorite has lived to see another day and is now the network’s longest running prime-time show. “ABC gave the go-ahead for season 28 — but I don’t know how much more is in the tank for this one,” adds another insider. “Some viewers have a…

SOAP VET LEAVES HOLLYWOOD BEHIND Whether acting on soaps or working as a fireman, ex- Guiding Light star Morgan Englund (Dylan) has struggled to escape the shadow of Oscar winning mom Cloris Leachman. And his mom was sympathetic. “She’s always felt that I never had the shot that I should have had or could have had,” says Morgan, who became a paramedic in 2001, and then a firefighter. Now he’s working on his music career. “I think I spent a lot of my life trying to show people that I’m just a normal person, because I felt there was a perception of who I was and what my life was like, because of my mom,” he reflects. Even when he was in the fire department, “the guys thought I grew up…

THE famously suave, bluster-blowing actor in Dos Equis beer ads should have called himself “The Horniest Man in the World!” Jonathan Goldsmith, billed as “The Most Interesting Man in the World” in the iconic television commercials, can’t stop crowing about the beauties he’s bedded and the actors he’s battled. The actor’s egotistical character fueled a 15 percent sales increase for the beer, but his own life was just as outrageous as his TV incarnation! In his book Stay Interesting — a riff on his commercial catchphrase, “Stay thirsty, my friends” — Goldsmith recounts his amorous conquests. The journeyman actor dated Judy Garland and Broadway legend Elaine Stritch. The scam artist haunted a bar where Warren Beatty was known to hang out — and preyed on beauties by telling them Warren…

WITH a $225- million divorce looming as her marriage crumbles, desperate-fordough Julia Roberts has taken a TV job in order to make potential alimony payments to longtime hubby Danny Moder! Now that Julia’s new series, Today Will Be Different, has been picked up by HBO, Julia feels financially secure enough to ax her marriage, sources say. “The marriage has been on the rocks for a long time, and her career isn’t doing much better,” snitches a friend. “Julia took this project because she wants a divorce and knows it’s going to cost her plenty. “She’s going to have to pay HIM alimony because he doesn’t make enough to support his comfortable lifestyle.” Julia, 49, and former cameraman Danny, 48, have been wed nearly 15 years and, according to California law,…

EGOMANIAC Nicole Kidman is infuriating her Aquaman co-stars on set in Australia. Nicole’s star power Down Under got the movie rolling, says a source, and “she’s making sure everybody knows it, too.” Director James Wan “consults her all the time on how to shoot scenes,” causing friction on the set, says the spy. “Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman, is too much of a gentleman to tell her off, but he’s seething.” Actors Willem Dafoe and Dolph Lundgren are “offended by Nicole’s bossy ways, and Amber Heard’s twitchy as well.” The situation stinks worse than a week-old fish!…
