BULL hunk Michael Weatherly has been courageously battling booze demons — but pals fear his recent recovery could be in jeopardy. An insider dishes the former NCIS star “struggles to avoid drinking because he must know one drink can — and probably will — lead to too many.” Now wed to stunner Bojana Jankovic, mom of his kids Olivia, 5, and Liam, 4, Michael turned to the bottle to numb his terror following a nightmare with first wife Amelia Heinle and their son August, now 21, pals believe. A year after his 1997 divorce from Amelia, she came running to his home with two-year-old August — after her actor-beau Peter Greene had reportedly done drugs in front of the tot.

DUBBED the modern-day Jimmy Stewart, Tom Hanks soared to fame with feel-good hits such as Big and Forrest Gump, but he’s also wowed audiences with his dramatic turns in Saving Private Ryan and Philadelphia. Now starring in political thriller The Post, Hanks, 61, takes on the role of real-life newspaper editor Ben Bradlee, who battled the government by publishing federal documents related to the war in Vietnam. Here are ten things you don’t know about Tom. 1 He is a third cousin, four generations removed, of Abraham Lincoln. 2 He says he was unpopular in school, recalling, “I was a geek, a spaz.

POP queen Selena Gomez’s toxic on-and-off romance with Baby bad boy Justin Bieber previously landed her in rehab — and has now sent her mom, Mandy Teefey, to the hospital! During a “heated” talk — after learning 25-year-old Selena had run back to the twofaced cheater, 23 — Mandy got “so worked up” she had to be hospitalized, says a source. “When Selena revealed she and J.B. were in couples therapy, Mandy flipped, realizing the relationship was going to be more long-term than she’d thought.” Cops sent on a welfare check to Mandy’s L.A. hotel room found the manic mother in a sad state, and she was voluntarily taken to a medical center. Justin and the Bad Liar singer first hooked up in 2011 when she was 18 and he…

Maruna was cuffed last month after traveling to Austintown, Ohio, for the hookup, according to authorities, who charge the Youngstown State University student had “sexually graphic” conversations through an app with someone he thought was an underage boy. Investigators say the chicken hawk sent his naked photos to his target and promised to bring the hot pasta dish on their date.

BASKETBALL basket case Dennis Rodman is defending his bloodthirsty dictator pal Kim Jong-un, insisting the nuke-happy Rocket Man is “more like a kid than anything.” The 56-year-old former NBA star, who has a bizarre friendship with the crazed North Korean kingpin, admits Kim is “probably a madman, but I don’t see it.” Delusional diplomat Rodman has visited the hermit nation five times since 2013 and claims Kim — who just shot and killed his top adviser — “has changed so much for the people.”…

THE past year had plenty of ups and downs — but when it came to television, things went from bad to worse! GLOBE’s media experts compiled this list of the Top Five Terrible Shows of 2017. 1. MARVEL’S INHUMANS (ABC) “If the nonstop superhero clichés weren’t bad enough, the entire production looked cheap — despite the show’s huge budget!” blasts a critic, who blames wooden dialogue for turning this comic-book adaptation into a monster. 2. DYNASTY (THE CW) Surprise! This soapy reboot couldn’t hold a candle to the original campy classic. “Back in the day, Dynasty was over the top — but it was a fun guilty pleasure,” says a media analyst. “The new show just didn’t have the same spark — or snark.” 3. MEGYN KELLY TODAY (NBC) Last…

NASCAR speed queen Danica Patrick’s romance with fellow racer Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has crashed and burned! Divorced Danica, 35, had been dating Ricky, 30, since 2012 — but their relationship stalled after the pair shacked up in 2013. They appeared to be on the road to ruin that year, after Ricky wrecked her car during the Coca Cola 600 in Charlotte, N.C. But forgiving Danica said, “If it’s crazy to want to go to sleep next to the person who ran your car off the road … then I’m certifiable!” As GLOBE reported, Danica was ready to speed to the altar, with a friend claiming she told Ricky: “Marry me or it’s over!” But the couple never made it to the finish line — and now Ricky loses.…

SEX sicko Glee star Mark Salling will spend the next four to seven years in the slammer after pleading guilty to filling his computers and thumb drives with disgusting child porn photos.

In addition to prison, he has to pay each of his victims $50,000 and register as a sex offender.…

AMBITIOUS MEGYN KELLY has hated MATT LAUER since he trashed her for early blunders when she joined the Today show — and now she’s getting sweet revenge! After Matt was axed for pressuring female staffers to be his sex toys, Megyn insisted on an on-air interview with former production assistant ADDIE ZINONE, who claimed to be one of Lauer’s victims. Megyn could barely contain her triumph as Addie recalled how the powerful creep “lured” her to his dressing room with promises of career help — and then pounced — when she was just 24. “This wasn’t an interview with a victim — it was rubbing salt into Matt’s wounds,” tattles a media insider. The former FOX News train wreck is still miffed over Matt’s trash talk when she began her…

CHILLY Regis Philbin iced out his former Live! co-host Kelly Ripa, who claims the now-retired TV legend, 86, refused to speak to her when they weren’t on the air! “Regis had a mandate: Absolutely no talking off camera,” Kelly says. “He had almost a superstition about it. You save it for the show. I’d be like, ‘Good morning,’ and he’d say, ‘Save it for the air!’” adds Ripa, 47, who now helms the talk show alongside Ryan Seacrest — and still doesn’t communicate with Philbin.…

The former Full House child star, who reprises her role as Stephanie Tanner on Netflix’s reboot of the iconic hit series, was ordered by a judge to pay Morty Coyle $2,800 a month in support for their seven-year-old daughter, Beatrix. The ruling came after the court heard Jodie’s earnings soared from $48,000 a year to more than $43,000 a month! Coyle claimed he takes home $2,000 per month as a deejay.

THE eldest son of 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was hauled off in shackles — accused of assault and felony burglary related to a domestic violence incident, police say. Cops collared Track Palin, 28, in Wasilla, Alaska, after they say he beat his pistol-packing dad Todd during a dispute over a truck. And witnesses say Sarah fled! The arrest isn’t Track’s first brush with the law. In January 2016, he was hauled in after a girlfriend accused him of punching her and pointing a gun at her. He copped a plea for possessing a firearm while drunk. That month, Sarah suggested Track’s problems stemmed from post-traumatic stress disorder he developed after military deployment in Iraq. “I can certainly relate with other families who feel these ramifications of some…

PLASTIC surgeons say Meghan Markle’s nose is the most in demand look with the ladies! Prince Harry’s bride-to-be sports a straight sniffer that ends in a petite “button” — though a slight hump is detectable in profile. But that charming imperfection aligns with the current trend toward “all natural” looks. “Patients started coming to me about six months ago requesting Meghan Markle’s nose,” says Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg, a New York–based cosmetic surgeon. “Ms. Markle’s nose is beautiful and is definitely a request we see,” says Dr. Manish H. Shah, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Colorado. “Celebrities are definitely inspiration for patients seeking elective cosmetic surgery,” adds Dr. Shah. Surprisingly, some doctors say that isn’t such a bad idea! Dr. Jon E. Mendelsohn, of Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center…

DESPERATE to avoid jail, pervy Bill Cosby has his new legal team working overtime to strike a plea deal in his sexual assault case, sources say. Adding to his nightmare, the 80-year-old creep is nearly flat broke after hiring Michael Jackson’s high-priced attorney, Thomas A. Mesereau Jr. “If he’s convicted, Bill faces ten years in prison, which at his age and with his poor health, is a life sentence,” says a source. “He’d likely never see another day as a free man!” The sicko comic faces a retrial in April after a criminal court jury deadlocked on charges he drugged and sexually assaulted former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. “But so much has changed since Bill’s first trial in July!” adds the insider. “Producer Harvey Weinstein was brought down. Matt…

Kennedy, Angie Dickinson has been transformed into a frail, stooped recluse by the crippling bone disease osteoporosis, fear pals. Shocking photos snapped Dec. 15, show that even bending over to pick up a piece of trash from the driveway of her L.A. home is now a painful ordeal for the 86-year-old. Pals say the star of the original Ocean’s 11 flick and TV’s Police Woman — whose list of past lovers reportedly also included Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando — is now “basically a recluse.” “She stays close to home due to her limited mobility, and because she doesn’t want to be seen in public with this condition,” snitches an insider. “Even on her best…

HOT-to-trot Carrie Fisher played kissy-face with BOTH of her handsome Star Wars co-stars! The actress shocked the space opera’s fans before her 2016 death when she revealed her on-set affair with Harrison Ford — but now Mark Hamill says he got it on with her, too! Hamill, who reprised his role as Luke Skywalker in the sci-fi hit’s sequel, The Last Jedi, confessed he and Carrie “were all over each other” behind the scenes while filming the 1977 movie. “I remember one time — I’m sure alcohol was involved — we were talking about kissing techniques,” he recalls. “Well, next thing you know we’re making out like teenagers!” But Hamill says their steamy session ended abruptly when they both caught the giggles — and afterward they were able to become…

A SIMPLE, noninvasive technique using high-tech magnets promises new hope for kicking cocaine addiction! Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is used to stimulate small regions of the brain by placing a coil with an electric current running through it on a person’s head. TMS could give a drug addict the ability to resist cravings by stimulating the part of the brain called the “cold circuit,” which manages control. Another possibility is stimulating the “hot circuit,” which governs craving and reward — and is very active in addicts. A continuous current there appears to decrease cravings. Several addicts treated with TMS have said it’s the only thing that ever helped them kick the habit. Some were addicted for over 25 years and had relapsed multiple times, according to Science magazine.…

RAMPAGING cancer destroyed Val Kilmer’s voice — and career, say friends who fear the brave Batman star is counting out his final days. The 58-year-old Top Gun hunk’s throat is so ravaged by cancer, he can only speak in very hushed tones and his voice had to be dubbed in his last movie. “The reality is he can’t act the way he used to because his throat has been damaged so badly. His voice still sounds very odd,” tattles an insider. “It’s really noticeable and hard to understand him. “This is a major problem for Val because he has to have his lines dubbed over. That’s obviously difficult and expensive for the studios. They might think twice about casting him in the future. He just can’t perform as well as…
