FORMER Beverly Hills, 90210 beauty Shannen Doherty is facing a horrific breast cancer nightmare – including a mastectomy and chemotherapy – after a health insurance catastrophe. The 44-year-old actress confirmed she was diagnosed with the disease in March and is “currently undergoing treatment. I am continuing to eat right, exercise and stay very positive about my life.” She’s also clobbered her former business manager at Tanner, Mainstain, Glynn & Johnson with a lawsuit claiming her health insurance was canceled in 2014 because the firm blundered and didn’t pay the premiums. The suit charges that if she’d been insured and able to visit a doctor using co-pays, the cancer could have been stopped early on. Instead, she learned of the rampaging disease after she was able to start up her health…

JEN SPROUTS WINGS FOR BIG BUCKS Newlywed JENNIFER ANISTON once confessed to chat host JIMMY KIMMEL she’s terrified of flying. So it’s odd that bigwigs at glitzy Emirates Airline would hire her as their new pitch gal. Of course, they’re paying her a whopping $5 million. Now that’s a surefire cure for a fear of flying. GAL-BEATER EMILE GETS SLAP ON WRIST EMILE HIRSCH is the latest celeb hunk to get a slap on the wrist for brutalizing a gal.

ROSIE O’DONNELL is being branded a lousy mom after her mentally ill teen daughter vanished – and DAYS passed before the star reported her missing! Even though Chelsea left her mom’s Nyack, N.Y., home without vital medication on Aug. 11, Rosie, 53, didn’t notify authorities for five days. Then, on Aug. 18, she issued an Internet plea for help locating her missing adopted child. Lawmen found the 17-year-old the next day – hiding in the Barnegat, N.J., house of an ex-con and suspected heroin addict she’d met through an online dating service. The cops traced the wayward teen through her cell phone. When an officer checked the place out, he says Chelsea’s online pal, 25-year-old Steven Sheerer, was evasive concerning the girl’s whereabouts. But the officer found the teen hiding…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE GLOBE’S Editor-in-Chief Jeff Rodack tells it like it is about celebrities – how they get under his skin with their stupid antics and the nonsense they try to put over on the public. Here is his unique take on newsmakers and fakers from Hollywood to Washington to London. ARIANA GRANDE fans are fighting mad over talkshow host Wendy Williams’ not-so-nice comments about the baby-faced singer Boo-hoo! Now get a life! Here’s what Wendy said: “She’s 21. She’ll forever look 12. And I don’t mean that in a good way. It’s nice to look younger than you are, but when you look too young and then you’re short – she’s only like 4-foot-11. I don’t look at her as, like, a woman.” Good for you Wendy! But…

THE bitter battle over Robin Williams’ estate has reached a fever pitch! His heartbroken widow Susan Schneider is desperately asking a court for more money to maintain payments on the Tiburon, Calif., home she shared with the late funnyman – and his children are fighting her tooth and nail. Susan, Williams’ third wife, has locked horns with his three grown kids from previous marriages over everything from the Mrs. Doubtfire star’s personal items to cash. Now, the widow is claiming that she doesn’t have enough money to pay for the mortgage, insurance and upkeep on the San Franciscoarea mansion Williams left her in his will. It’s the same house where the tragic superstar took his own life on Aug. 11, 2014, at age 63. She adds that she hasn’t received…

AN America’s Next Top Model winner is blasting executive producer and judge Tyra Banks, calling her a fiendish fake who pretends to be a caring mentor but is actually a cruel tyrant. Angelea Preston – who was stripped of her title in 2011 for being a former escort and is suing the show’s bosses for $3 million – describes Banks as a stone-hearted ogre. “Sometimes we would work 20 hours straight filming,” says Angelea. “If the camera’s not rolling, we can’t say anything. We’d be ‘put on ice’ for hours. Not eating, not drinking, not talking. You’re guarded by crew members. It’s like top model prison!” And the only time they saw “concerned” Tyra was when they were on camera. “Tyra was nonexistent. When the camera’s stopped rolling, it’s like…

HEY, HEY, I’M A DRUNKEE! MONKEES legend Peter Tork has made a shocking confession: he’s a recovering boozer. “I’m an alcoholic, and that means once I pick up the first drink – something gets triggered and I have no resistance,” the 73-year-old TV icon says. “So the answer is not to drink at all.” Amazingly, Tork has stayed on the wagon for 34 years, and it’s a good thing, because he was a mean drunk. “I was awful when I was drinking – snarling at people,” he admits. And booze wasn’t his only demon. In 1972, four years after The Monkees – whose monster hits included I’m a Believer and Last Train to Clarksville – broke up, Tork was snared on hashish charges. He spent three months in prison. Six…

LEGENDARY pro wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper died from a heart attack triggered by a blood clot in his lungs. That’s the real story behind the 61-year-old WWE Hall of Famer’s sudden death at his Hollywood home on July 31. Although no autopsy was performed, the L.A. County coroner recently released Piper’s death certificate, listing the cause of death as “cardiopulmonary arrest. A favorite on the professional wrestling circuit for 45 years, Piper had long battled health problems. Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2006, he was declared cancer-free last November. But Piper also suffered from chronic high blood pressure, a known risk factor for blood clots. As GLOBE previously reported, the decision not to perform an autopsy caused speculation about a coverup, particularly because the wrestler once predicted he wasn’t “going…

BORIS KARLOFF’S HAUNTED MANSION IS UP IF you’re in the market for a dazzling Hollywood haunt, a 1927 mansion that once belonged to movie mummy Boris Karloff is on the market for a monstrous $7.4 million! For the price, you get a pristine piece of property in L.A.’s Coldwater Canyon area with a load of luxury appointments – and your very own ghost! Katharine Hepburn, who lived in the 5,000-square-foot Mexican-style house for five years before horror movie legend Karloff bought it in the 1930s, swore a spunky spirit inhabited the place. Hepburn insisted she frequently encountered a ghost “who moved her furniture around and jiggled latches.” Owner Karloff, who made his mark playing the Frankenstein monster, never talked about the ghoulish goings on at the five-bedroom crib, which features…

GUTSY newsman Chris Cuomo made headlines himself by heroically rescuing a drowning man! While boating on Long Island’s Peconic River near popular Sunset Beach, the 45-yearold CNN anchor, whose brother is New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, spotted an older man in the ocean being swept away in a strong rip current. Cuomo threw him a life preserver, but the man still couldn’t fight the raging stream. So the New Day star dove into the perilous waters and dragged the armweary swimmer to the shallows, where a police boat eventually picked them up. “If he hadn’t done this, the man surely would have drowned,” notes an eyewitness. “The police didn’t seem to realize who Chris was but told him: ‘You saved this guy. That was heroic.’ But he was very humble…

DAN RATHER is poised to reap vengeance on the forces that drove him from the CBS Evening News anchor chair in disgrace! An upcoming movie, called Truth, will show Rather’s controversial report on George W. Bush’s military service was valid and accurate – despite being initially labeled bogus.

FUNNYMAN Jon Cryer is going topless – kinda – as a “badass doctor” when NCIS returns on CBS Sept. 22.

ONCE a place filled with fun and laughter, the Six Flags New Orleans amusement park is a silent, gator-filled swamp of rusted-out rides 10 years after Hurricane Katrina came roaring through The Big Easy in late August 2005. Located just outside the city by Lake Pontchartrain, the 150-acre park was flooded when the city’s levees failed. It was a month before crews came in to pump out the water, but the place is still a waterfilled graveyard. Abandoned roller coasters, graffiticovered walls on dilapidated buildings and overgrown vegetation now serve as an eerie reminder of Katrina’s destruction. Although several plans to redevelop the property have fallen through over the years, several Hollywood flicks have been filmed at the empty park, including Jurassic World, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,…
