LOVE-STRUCK state worker Amber Lucero was busted for a steamy, touchy-feely groping session at a juvenile jail with a psycho teen who had massacred his parents, two sisters and a brother in cold blood, cops say. A patient supervisor at New Mexico’s Sequoyah Adolescent Treatment Center for mentally ill youths, Amber, 35, is charged with sexual contact of a minor by a person in a position of authority.

The disgraced mom-of-three, hired to ensure patients follow their treatments at…

SOAP icon Drake Hogestyn’s career may be over after suffering serious injuries in a freakish fall outside of his home! Right now, Hogestyn’s “Days of Our Lives” character John Black is in limbo as he battles to come back from terrible head wounds caused by an 18-foot fall from a tree. “Show execs have been told Drake suffered internal bleeding,” says an insider. “It sounds like he cheated death.” The 62-year-old actor, who has starred on the daytime drama since 1986, was hurt in May and hasn’t shown up on the set since. “All his scenes have been written out until further notice,” the insider says. But the hunky 6-foot-2 star is STILL on air since the show tapes months ahead. Drake originally played Roman Brady for five years. He…

ORLANDO mass murderer Omar Mateen’s rotting corpse is fouling sacred ground — and needs to be exhumed and moved right NOW! That’s the shocking demand of outraged families who have buried their own loved ones at a Muslim cemetery in Hialeah Gardens, Fla., where the most hated killer in American history was buried in secret. Furious family members of other people interred at the Muslim Cemetary of South Florida demand to know why they weren’t informed. Their religion has a tradition of denying burial to the infamous. In fact, the Muslim Cemetary of Central Florida refused his remains. “We want nothing to do with people who behave like that,” says Jamal Hassouneh of the Muslim Cemetery of Central Florida. “We don’t condone it and we don’t associate ourselves with people…

DRAINED from her work on “Dancing with the Stars” and the reboot of her classic sitcom “Full House,” Jodie Sweetin is in dire danger of a drug relapse, friends fear. The 34-year-old beauty, who previously admitted using drugs while claiming to be sober, recently confessed to being pooped when talking about herself and her “Fuller House” co-star Candace Cameron Bure. “Between her doing ‘The View’ and me coming off of ‘DWTS’, we’re both like, ‘Let’s just sit down!’” she says. Now a source says that while Jodie has “made a remarkable comeback... the fear now is that she is so wrung out and tired from all the work, she could turn to cocaine again!” Top L.A. addiction expert Dr. Damon Raskin told GLOBE: “Sometimes, people will relapse when they’ve bitten…

The “Baywatch” star, who claims he’s broke, got Pamela down from a whopping $21,000 a month to “just” 10 grand as of June 1. “I was laughing about all these people who made money and lost it, and I was saying, ‘How could that happen to them?’’’ he recalls. Now he’s losing a little less! SPOT THE EVIL TWIN Were these celeb look-alikes separated at birth?…

CHARLIE SHEEN’s turned into a loser with the ladies since his HIV secrets came to light! The former “Two and a Half Men” maniac, who declared he was “winning” during one of his infamous meltdowns, confesses: “Right now, I couldn’t get lucky in a woman’s prison.” The volatile party guy, 50, adds that it’s hard to hit on anyone with the line, “Hey, I’ve got HIV — busy later?” The recently dubbed spokesman for LELO HEX condoms says he’s changed his womanizing ways and, now, “it’s about the other person, it’s about protecting them and just being open and responsible.” Instead of chasing goddesses and porn stars, Charlie’s spending “a lot of time with my family” — and playing it safe!…

MARIE WILSON ON ‘DAYS’ EXIT MARIE Wilson’s run as Summer on “Days of our Lives” is coming to an end later this month, and she opens up about her exit in the July 11 issue. The actress says she got the disappointing news in early February, but she understood that change is part of the business. “You go with the flow,” she shrugs. Wilson, who appeared as another character on the soap in 2014/15, says she appreciated the chance to work on “DOOL” again. “There were lots of levels to Summer and that’s what made it so much fun,” she offers. “She was full and complex. That’s a blessing for any actor to have the opportunity to portray.” CATCHING UP WITH SOAP ALUMS DIGEST catches up with “As The World…

DON’T ASK Blake Shelton to take his shirt off! The country superstar doesn’t want to be compared to galpal Gwen Stefani’s ripped ex, Gavin Rossdale, say sources. “As much as Blake likes to joke around, he has hang-ups and insecurities — and one of them is his body,” says a friend. “He lost 30 pounds from stress during his divorce from Miranda Lambert last year, but he’s packed much of it back on since he hooked up with Gwen. He weighs around 243 pounds – and admits he has a soft belly and man-boobs.” Meanwhile, Gavin – who at 50 is 10 years OLDER than Blake — sports a firm 180 pounds and six-pack abs on his 6-foot-1 frame and he’s not afraid to show it off! “Blake’s jealous of…

RED-HOT Michael Strahan sure ain’t pining for his Queen of Mean TV sidekick Kelly Ripa! Since he traded a gig on “Live! with Kelly and Michael” for “Good Morning America,” he hasn’t even tuned into his old show. “I really haven’t missed it,” declares the former New York Giants football star. “I really haven’t had a chance to watch. But I think I’ve been working so hard for the last seven or eight years, that it’s been a relief.” Not that his new workload is exactly easy. In addition to prepping for full-time “GMA” hosting, he’s helming ABC’s reboot of “The $100,000 Pyramid” on primetime. But insiders say the real relief is being away from Kelly! Officially, Michael is refusing to throw fuel on the fire about his feud with…

WIGGY STARDUST MAKES A KILLING A former employee at Madame Tussauds, the London wax museum, snipped a lock of DAVID BOWIE’s hair in the 1980s — to make a wax figure of the glam icon — and now that hair’s expected to fetch $4,000 at Heritage Auctions in Beverly Hills. Creepy! Please keep any PRINCE body parts off the block! TITO BUTTERS UP DEAD MICHAEL! MICHAEL JACKSON’S brother TITO is so desperate to clean up the pervy King of Pop’s tarnished image he’s bragging about the “innocent fun” they had during their Jackson 5 days. “Michael was fond of putting water balloons on the top of the door, and then calling security so it would shower them,” he reveals. “He also used to put sticks of butter in your shoes…

JENNIFER Lopez’s butt is famous, but the 46-yearold bombshell says she wasn’t always so proud of her bodacious figure! “It’s hard to avoid comparing yourself to others, and I’ve definitely been guilty of it myself,” she admits. “I remember thinking I wasn’t thin enough because I had curves.” Plus, when she was just starting out, many Hollywood insiders told her to peel off some pounds! “They kept telling me to lose weight — and I was a dancer, and I was athletic,” the “Shades of Blue” star remembers. “Even my manager at the time, who I no longer work with, was telling me, ‘You need to be thinner. “I was like, ‘No, I don’t. If I lose any more weight, it won’t be me.’”…

“BREAKFAST CLUB” cutie Molly Ringwald confesses she WASN’T the most popular girl in school — and spent most of the time wishing she had friends! Although the strawberry blonde Brat Packer was one of Hollywood’s hottest young stars, after finishing her first movie, “Tempest,” in 1982 she showed up to seventh grade two months late, “and all of my friends had abandoned me.” Molly says, “I had no friends at all, which was very, very painful. I felt completely isolated.” Amazingly, boys kept their distance, too! “Boys were always too shy to come up to me. If I wanted to go out with anyone, I always had to make the first move,” the beauty says. “I don’t think, in my entire life, anyone has ever made the first move.”…

Medical news YOU can use! A NEW miracle treatment offers hope and relief for people battling crippling rheumatoid arthritis! Based on the disease-fighting protein olokizumab, the therapy reduces pain and swelling for up to 48 weeks in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to new studies. The powerful protein is “well-tolerated” by patients in the scientific tests, say researchers. Dr. Mark C. Genovese, who presented the findings to the American College of Rheumatology, says the test results are “promising” and is planning another round of studies. While you wait for the drug to hit the market, medical experts say getting sleep, exercise and healthy foods can help keep RA in check! Patients hobbled by swollen joints should use a cane or a walker to avoid dangerous falls,…

ATLANTA’s Gladys Knight’s Chicken & Waffles restaurants have been raided! Gladys’ son, Shanga Hankerson, who runs the chain, is at the center of a $1 million tax evasion investigation by the Georgia Department of Revenue. “Shanga is accused of stealing over $650,000 in both sales and withholding tax,” an investigator says. “With penalties and interest, it’s up to over $1 million owed.” Luckily, the “Neither One of Us” singer, 72, only lent her name to the chain and is “totally in the clear,” says a lawman.…

REX HARRISON could “talk to the animals” in the 1967 classic musical “Doctor Dolittle,” but — despite this smiling on-the-set photo — his ability to chat up co-star Samantha Eggar was another story. The actress blasted ladies’ man Rex after the shoot, calling the sixtimes-married star “unkind and vitriolic and very mean-spirited.” Maybe working with more than 1,200 live animals — including dogs, pigs and birds — got to Rex. During the shoot, a goat ate a script, a parrot learned to yell “Cut!” and other furry cast members frequently bit the crew!…
