But the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star, who has four grown kids with Margie Willett, his wife from 1948 to 1984, feared getting serious with the pretty makeup artist because “I thought there would be an outcry about a gold digger marrying an old man — but no one ever took that attitude.” Van Dyke, who also lived with actress Michelle Triola Marvin for 30 years, credits Arlene with keeping him chipper, gushing: “She loves to sing and dance, which…

Recently, Marta Casey accidentally hit a mule deer doe while headed to a snowboarding adventure. She reported the severely injured critter to state troopers, who killed it, and then told her pal Jaden Bales, who used the app to claim the carcass and turn it into tasty steaks, sizzled in butter in an iron pan. Officials say 6,000 critters are killed annually on Wyoming roads and the app will help wildlife agents place animal crossing signs and reduce…

Former British intelligence and security officer Philip Ingram says Putin is “very angry” and blames his spy agencies for “seeding him the advice that led to the poor decision-making in Ukraine.” Oleksiy Danilov, head of Ukraine’s security council, says foolish Putin expected “to win in two to three days and march…

MORE women could potentially have successful pregnancies well into their 50s, according to scientists in Israel, who claim they’ve “reverse aged” human eggs by as much as 20 years! Hebrew University of Jerusalem scientists say lab trials show an antiviral medication used to treat HIV appears to repair age-related DNA deterioration in eggs. Such cellular damage can impair fertilization and trigger miscarriages. However, the team has not yet proven the process can boost fertility or pregnancy viability because the treated eggs were not exposed to sperm, but plan to continue their research. Dr. Michael Klutstein, the biologist who led the project, explains, “Within ten years, we hope to use antiviral drugs to increase fertility among older women. This may help women between the ages of 40 and 50.”…
