BILLIONAIRE beauty Kim Kardashian’s flashy online presence may be putting the reality babe at risk of yet another terrifying robbery — or, even worse, a kidnapping, sources warn. In a recent post, the attention-hungry hottie flaunted her curves in swimwear while posing inside her gigantic closet, where racks of designer clothes and shoes were visible in the background. Even more troubling, moles say, double glass doors were seen behind her in the video! As GLOBE readers know, Kim, 44, was bound and gagged at gunpoint during a 2016 Paris robbery that saw thugs steal $10 million worth of her jewelry. “Her social media posts were said to have helped the gang in France that targeted her, and it seems like she’s risking that happening again by showing off this much…

JOLTED Jessica Simpson is reportedly seething over ex-hubby Nick Lachey’s latest round of tattling, with an insider saying she’s furious over his dredging up their long-ago failed marriage and threatens to spill more about him if he doesn’t shut his yap. The 51-year-old former boybander recently splashed headlines by claiming their MTV reality show Newlyweds pushed him to tears and hinted that the dynamic with Jessica was partly to blame. But sources say that the 44-year-old blond bombshell is ticked — especially since she’s currently mired in a painful split from second hubby Eric Johnson, 45, dad of her kids, Maxwell, 13, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 6. “Jessica doesn’t understand why Nick’s running his mouth off, since he’s always had this bug up his butt whenever she said a word…

BABE BOOTED FROM LOVE ISLAND USA A stunning Love Island USA contestant suddenly vanished from the mating show after the first episode as, just 18 minutes into the second, host IAIN STIRLING announced, “Welcome back … Yulissa has left the villa.” Now, 27-year-old YULISSA ESCOBAR has revealed it’s her fault — she was booted because of a “racial slur” she made on a podcast years ago. In a post, the blackhaired beauty says she “wanted to apologize for using a word I had no right in using,” adding, “I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history or pain behind it” and “wasn’t trying to be offensive or harmful.” Before getting dumped, she said she’d been heartbroken after a “nine-year relationship” crashed and had hoped to find “a man…

DETERMINED President Donald Trump is declaring war against an unholy Axis of Evil alliance between China and Mexican drug cartels to pull the plug on their devious plot to flood America’s streets with deadly narcotics, knowledgeable sources tell GLOBE. International drug trafficking experts believe Chinese operatives are providing tons of synthetic drug-making chemicals to Mexico’s notorious Sinaloa cartel to help them manufacture fentanyl and methamphetamine specifically targeted for U.S. consumers. An estimated 200,000 American lives have been lost to fatal drug overdoses since 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “When you look at who dies of fentanyl overdoses, it’s mostly young military aged men,” says Washington, D.C., insider Leon Wagener. “It’s really a sinister plot. They are killing off guys — who if they weren’t on…

THE corpses of three young sisters, who vanished in Washington state during a planned visit with their homeless father, were found with plastic bags over their heads and zip-ties around their tiny wrists — and now lawmen say they’re hunting for their military veteran dad, who is charged with multiple counts of kidnapping and murder. Travis Decker, 32, had collected Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, from his ex-wife Whitney’s home for a custody visit. But the concerned mom reported the children missing less than two hours after he missed the deadline for their return. Three days later, the tykes’ bodies were discovered not far from their father’s truck down an embankment near the Rock Island Campground in Wenatchee — in the same outfits they were wearing when they…

SCREEN hunk Orlando Bloom and songbird Katy Perry have seen their once hot careers cool since they began dating in 2016 — and now the longtime couple is feeling the strain as they scramble for ways to claw their way back to the top, sources say. According to tipsters, the former Pirates of the Caribbean swashbuckler, 48, is hustling hard for his next movie hit after a stretch of forgettable flicks, while fiancée Katy, 40, has seen her fireworks fizzle after exiting her judging role on American Idol and her 2024 album, 143, failed to reach No. 1 on the charts. A spy explains that Bloom is banking on reprising his past role as elvish warrior Legolas in The Hunt for Gollum — the next planned installment in the Lord…

Night owls lose marbles ✚ EARLY birds get the worm — and a much lower risk of suffering from dementia! Researchers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands followed participants for 10 years and found night owls experienced significantly more cognitive decline than early risers — but only if they had college degrees. Less educated people may work more variable hours, but people with college degrees tend to work 9 to 5, which forces natural late-nighters to skimp on slumber, a known risk factor for dementia. Flossing pays big dividends ✚ FIVE out of five dentists agree you should floss regularly — and not just to prevent cavities. Scientists at Hiroshima University in Japan have discovered that a bacterium, Porphyromonas gingivalis, in infected gums can travel through your bloodstream…

A HARD-working teen who skipped his high school graduation parties to help out his coworkers at Burger King now has a “whopper” of a college fund! Mykale Baker wasn’t on the schedule the night of commencement, but when the 18-year-old found out the Dacula, Ga., restaurant’s crew was struggling to keep up with a surge of customers, he rushed to work to help out. It was a no-brainer for the industrious teen, one of nine siblings raised by a single mom, who was named manager of a Wendy’s when he was just 17. He would have only been awarded the thanks of his team — except for an eagle-eyed mom at the Burger King’s drive-through window. Like Mykale, Maria Mendoza’s daughter Daizie Chavez had also just graduated from Mill Creek…

THE recently announced death of Johnny Carson’s son Christopher is shining a spotlight on the dark side of the Tonight Show host’s life — as the TV funnyman reportedly refused to accept his now-deceased son’s love child. Chris died from undisclosed causes earlier this year in Florida at age 74. But nearly four decades ago, the publicity-shy golf instructor was embroiled in a public court battle with ex Tanena Love Green over financial support for their daughter, Christal. Now 39 and a mom herself, Christal was the product of Tanena’s hush-hush 10-year relationship with Chris, who once lived off his dad’s monthly stipend in Fort Lauderdale. But sources say Johnny got wind of his romance with Tanena when she was six months pregnant and ordered his son to cut loose…

IF YOU love crying your eyes out, researchers at University of California, Berkeley, have scientifically determined that The Champ, a 1979 sports drama, is the saddest movie ever made. They focused their inquiry on the under-three-minute scene where little RICKY SCHRODER, then 9, chews the scenery over the lifeless body of his down-and-out boxer dad, played by JON VOIGHT — sobbing that “Champ” should wake up and come back to life. Ricky won a Golden Globe for New Star of the Year … and won Worst Supporting Actor from the Stinkers Bad Movie Awards. The scene has since been used in more than 300 studies on sadness.…

LOVE EDITION: When you gaze into the eyes of your heart’s desire, your heart rates synchronize — as long as the other person feels the same way about YOU. Love is a drug! Researchers found that the body responds to falling in love pretty much the way it does to snorting cocaine. Who needs an analgesic from the pharmacy when you can lessen your pain by looking at a photo of your loved one? Another health benefit to romance: Doctors say that spending time with people who love you can help you live longer, cutting your risk of early death in half. It’s easier to fall in love with someone if you meet in a dangerous situation. That must be why James Bond gets so much action.…

SENSITIVE songbird Selena Gomez fears her inability to have a baby could derail her relationship with fiancé Benny Blanco. Sources tell GLOBE the two are madly in love and eager to start a family — but Selena’s ongoing medical issues make it dangerous for her to carry a child. “She can’t help worrying she’ll never be able to make him truly happy if she can’t give him a baby of their own,” says an insider. The pop star, 32, and the music producer, 37, got engaged in December but haven’t set a wedding date yet. In a recent interview, he spilled that he’s “dreaming and praying every day” that he’ll soon become a dad. “Benny talks nonstop about how cute their kids will be and what a great mom Selena…

COMPOSED Kim Kardashian has tolerated ex-hubby Kanye West’s wife copying her look — but now the spooked reality queen is fed up with Bianca Censori’s constant copycatting and fears the busty babe is becoming a creepy stalker, spies say. Tipsters tell GLOBE that Kim is on her last nerve — and ready to read the riot act to the audacious Aussie. “She’s sick to death of this fraudster trying to be her — and doing it badly at that!” an insider confides. As GLOBE readers know, curvy Bianca, 30, has been parading around the planet as Kanye’s arm candy in increasingly risqué outfits. But some fans feel the architectural designer is morphing into a carbon copy of Kim by attempting to channel the 44-year-old’s aesthetic. “For the longest time Kim…

CLINGY Chris Martin was kicked to the curb by former fiancée Dakota Johnson because the Fifty Shades of Grey siren grew tired of the Coldplay rocker’s controlling ways, sources say. Now, the needy Brit, 48, is licking his wounds, while Dakota, 35, is telling pals there’s no turning back, tipsters confide. “Dakota loved Chris. She still does, but he became way too controlling and dependent on her in the end,” an insider shares. “It became suffocating and unbearable to live with. If she went away or wasn’t answering his calls for any length of time, he’d fly off the handle — even when they were in the same city. He was also a sourpuss who didn’t approve of her going out with friends, and preferred to stay in all the…

Three Men and a Baby star STEVE GUTTENBERG recalls when CAITLYN JENNER was a Steve & Caitlyn “big” man before she sex-swapped from being BRUCE JENNER. In 1980, Steve and former Olympic decathlon champ Bruce starred in the campy flick Can’t Stop the Music. Steve tattles that the producer wanted them to “stuff our shorts with socks to make it look bigger.” Steve boasts that he told the bigwig, “We didn’t need it.” Talk about playing against type — clean-cut crooner NICK JONAS has been cast as PAUL STANLEY, the makeup-doused, platform heels–clad rocker of KISS, in Shout It Out Loud, a movie about the raucous band. Tattlers say Nick will do his own singing, but has to train to croak out KISS tunes. Big Bang songbird JESSIE J has…

A SLIPPERY weasel played with a pet store ferret in Florida before shoving the critter down his shorts and strolling out the door, cops say. According to workers at Petland in Jacksonville, furry ferret Stella was at the business for just over a month but had fast become a staff favorite — before a shoplifter waltzed off with her in his pants. Lawmen say they do not yet know the name of the alleged perpetrator but say surveillance cameras captured the mustachioed man as he made his getaway with the mammal, which is worth approximately $650. A police report states that in the footage the dark-haired dude holds “the crotch area of his shorts to support the ferret as he walks past all points of sale … without paying.” After…

FUMING Sutton Foster feels she’s been wrongly cast as a homewrecker — and now the bristling Broadway beauty is ready to go to war with her man Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, to defend both their reputations, tipsters tell GLOBE. Sutton, 50, has kept a dignified silence since going public with her former Music Man costar Hugh, 56, earlier this year. Now, sources say she’s fed up with Deb’s “betrayal” narrative and raring to speak out. In May, the 69-year-old Aussie TV star released a scathing statement after she filed for divorce from the Wolverine hunk — less than two years after the pair publicly announced their split. Deb, who got hitched to Hugh in 1996, said, “My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic…

HIP-HOP honcho Sean “Diddy” Combs is seething behind bars over ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez’s deafening silence during his salacious sex crimes trial — and he’s even threatening to take her down if she doesn’t speak out soon, tipsters claim. “He’s burning with rage over how she’s turned her back on him,” says an insider. The All About the Benjamins rapper has been caged without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., since September as he faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and other crimes. Combs, 55, maintains he’s innocent — but sources snitch that the Bad Boy Records cofounder is obsessing over the lack of support from J.Lo, his girlfriend from 1999 to 2001. “He and J.Lo stayed very close even after they split, and he fully expected…

CREEPY Jalen Vallejos admitted to watching his ex-girlfriend sleep at night for as long as eight months in Florida — while secretly plotting to attack her and her father, cops say. Vallejos, 20, was spotted walking outdoors late at night in Deltona by a deputy with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, and a criminal complaint states the young man was clad in “a dark-colored hoodie with the hood up” and “using both hands to obscure his face.” The document states that Vallejos claimed to be wearing so many layers because it “gets kind of cold out” — even though the temperature was 76 degrees. Lawmen allege Vallejos had a pocketknife and “hitchhiker weeds and brush” on his clothes and shoes, “suggesting he had recently walked through thick vegetation.” The deputy…

EMBATTLED President Donald Trump is facing an unprecedented rebellion from handpicked administration staffers, fellow Republicans and deepstate operatives who are tenaciously working to sabotage his agenda and policies, highly placed government sources exclusively tell GLOBE. Moles say the extraordinary internal revolt ranges from bombshell leaks that could bring down the president to shocking public rebuttals of Trump’s policy decisions, damaging legal rulings by Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices and legislative resistance on Capitol Hill. “Trump is meeting tion from all sides,” says a White House insider. “It just goes to show how hard it is to effect true and lasting change in Washington, D.C., to drain the proverbial swamp — as the president himself would say.” Trump, 79, has repeatedly claimed that a “deep state” within the U.S. government has…

FORMER cokehead Jason Biggs admits he once rummaged through the trash at 4 a.m. for his stash so that he could do “one more line.” As a young star in Hollywood, the American Pie actor, 47, said he was “blocking everything out with drugs and alcohol.” One night he vowed to quit after a binge and tossed his bag of coke in the trash. But 15 minutes later, he fished it out of the garbage — twice — and snorted some more. Desperate to stop himself, he drove to a random house, stuffed the bag in their trash, then drove home. But when the high wore off, he went back to the house, fished through the garbage to retrieve the coke, and finished it off! The father of two finally…

WRACKED with guilt and emotional pain for cheating with his best friend’s wife, desperate Billy Joel tried to end his agony twice in near-deadly suicide attempts. That’s the bombshell revelation about the 76-year-old Piano Man singer, now wed to fourth wife Alexis Roderick, 43, in the documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes — which recalls his anguish and attempt to end it all over destroying the marriage of his best pal Jon Small. “I was just in love with a woman,” recalls Joel, currently battling a brain disorder. “I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker.” The tragic situation began when Billy, 21, and Jon formed the band Attila in 1970 and the future superstar roomed with his partner, plus his…
