AFTER a judge gave Brad Pitt joint custody of their kids, vindictive Angelina Jolie secretly sold her half of the couple’s French winery to a Russian oligarch, who would “harm” the movie hunk by taking over the business using “cutthroat tactics.” That’s the 58-year-old Troy hunk’s shocking claim in a lawsuit against his 47-year-old ex, which tries to void the 2021 sale of her share of their $164 million Miraval estate to Yuri Shefler. Pitt claims Shefler, owner of Stolichnaya Vodka and who counts Russian warmonger Vladimir Putin as a pal, plans to take over his successful Miraval Rose wine business using shady business practices. He claims Jolie was bitter because a judge had awarded him 50/50 custody of their six kids. At the time of the ruling, which has…

ROYAL runaways Prince Harry and wife Meghan were embarrassingly snubbed by his family — and scorned by the British public — during their visit to Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebration. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex showed up at the fourday spectacular even though they were purposely not invited to some of the events, including the most important — viewing the Trooping of the Colour military parade with the rest of the royal family from the palace balcony. They were so unwelcome, Harry and Meghan boarded a flight back to America and their California mansion an hour BEFORE the grand finale pageant kicked off and the queen made a last appearance on the balcony. “If they were lepers, they couldn’t have been shunned more,” says a royal insider. “Their decision…

A BRATTY bozo upset with his galpal broke into a museum in Texas, took his anger out on irreplaceable antiquities and intentionally demolished more than $5.2 million worth of artwork during a childish temper tantrum, authorities say. According to an arrest warrant, Brian Hernandez, 21, forced his way into the Dallas Museum of Art at night and became a one-man wrecking crew.

HORROR flick babe Neve Campbell is yelling at the top of her lungs she quit the sixth film in the hit scary-movie Scream franchise because bigwigs wouldn’t fork over enough bucks. The 48-year-old actress has played survivor Sidney Prescott in all five of the previous installments, but says movie bosses don’t appreciate her “value.” “As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream,” she says. “I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise.” The Scream flicks began 25 years ago. The fifth version — featuring original stars Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette — raked in a whopping $140 million while costing just…

TODAY show divas Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie are going at it fang and claw when the cameras stop — and double-dealing co-star Jenna Bush Hager keeps egging on the catfights, sources say. “Jenna claims to be Savannah’s best friend, but then whenever Savannah’s not there she’ll turn around and buddy up to Hoda and the two of them will take shots at Savannah,” says an insider. “But when she’s with Savannah she’s happy to join in and gripe about Hoda. “She’s totally two-faced. It’s so catty.” As GLOBE previously reported, Hoda, 57, and Savannah, 50, are all smiles on-air, but are really huge rivals — and Jenna, 40, is taking advantage that “these two can’t stand each other,” snips the insider. “Instead of trying to play peacemaker, Jenna’s been…
