MORE MADONNA MELTDOWNS SOUNDS like MADONNA’s custody crisis over son ROCCO is really getting to her. On stage in the Philippines during her recent tour, the bitter singer shocked the crowd: “Once I had a Filipino trainer — this beautiful, beautiful girl. She was gorgeous and very talented as a trainer. But she f****d my boyfriend, so I fired her.” The Material Girl, 57, went on to say, “I know I sound like I’m cynical and I don’t believe in romance and that I think everybody is backstabbing.” Ya think? COURT SENDS O’REILLY SPINNING MADONNA isn’t the only one having kiddie problems. Talk show blabber BILL O’REILLY lost his custody battle with ex-wife MAUREEN MCPHILMY. Bill wanted to be named the sole decision-maker for the couple’s 16-year-old daughter and 12-year…

Medical news YOU can use! A CURE for millions of diabetes sufferers could finally be on the way according to a breakthrough new study — and it could be as simple as taking a pill! A group of researchers using rats at Cornell University engineered bacteria in the gut to produce a protein — the glucagon-like peptide 1 — which can result in higher levels of insulin production. This discovery offers a major step in the treatment of diabetes, which occurs when glucose levels are too high and patients cannot produce enough insulin to break down their blood sugar. Instead of combatting the condition with regular injections of insulin, this protein could be brought to market as an everyday probiotic pill, bringing a huge qualityof-life improvement to diabetes sufferers. The…

‘DAYS’ LOVEBIRDS TYING THE KNOT! IT’S THE wedding “Days of Our Lives” fans have been waiting for: Chad and Abigail are finally ready to say “I do.” “There is no doubt in Abigail’s mind,” says Kate Mansi of her alter ego’s feelings before the ceremony. “She has complete clarity about Chad. He has helped Abigail gain confidence in herself. “Enough bad things have happened to this couple to make them both realize that life is short.” But will Abigail’s killer ex, Ben — who just escaped from the psychiatric ward — ruin their big day?

CAITLYN JENNER can’t decide whether she’s straight, bi or a lesbian! In the new trailer for the second season of her “I Am Cait” reality show, she shockingly spouts that she’s “open” to a relationship with “a very special guy.” She adds, “I don’t see myself dating women in the future. I’ve been there, done that, got three ex-wives.” After that aired, the 66-year-old fudged a bit on NBC’s “Today,” saying she’s “too busy” to date. All this has Kardashian matriarch KRIS JENNER, mom of KENDALL and KYLIE, two of Bruce’s six kids, in a tizzy. “It’s confusing,” Kris says. It’s also a bit mystifying to those who saw the former Olympic decathlon champ’s interview with DIANE SAWYER just before he came out as a she. “I’m not gay,” he…

YOU know her as no-nonsense mom Jessica Huang on ABC’s “Fresh Off the Boat,” but the breakout star isn’t so much like Jessica in real life! She doesn’t have an accent, she made a decision that would make a Tiger Mom cringe — and she has a cute furry friend instead of three rambunctious kids! Here are 10 things you didn’t know about 33-year-old beauty Constance Wu. 1. Constance was born and raised in Richmond, Va. 2. Her performing career started early! “I was a theater actress when I was 10,” she says. 3.

As a struggling actress,…

A BALD man is brazenly stealing expensive hair restoration products from drugstore shelves as cops comb over clues to identify him! Police in western Ohio and northern Kentucky are searching for the folliclechallenged middle-aged guy who has stolen thousands of dollars worth of hair growth and memory aid meds from pharmacies. An alert was recently issued for the thief after he hit a series of drugstores and swiped an estimated $850 worth of Rogaine, which helps prevent baldness, and Prevagen, a brain health supplement. “We’re scratching our heads at this, no pun intended, trying to figure out why or what is it about the Rogaine,” says police detective Chris Jones, who serves in Mount Healthy, Ohio. “You start to wonder what is motivating this subject to go in and steal…

ACTRESS Catherine Zeta-Jones swears her stunning looks have nothing to do with cosmetic procedures — but she’s lying through her perfect teeth! That’s according to a prominent plastic surgeon who confirms the howling rumors that the 46-year-old, Welshborn beauty has had major work done. “Contrary to public opinion, I have not been under the knife ... yet, is what I say!” goes Catherine’s denial. But one expert says the Oscar winner has had major work. “It seems Catherine underwent some non-surgical procedures, along with eyelid surgery,” says Dr. Ramtin Kassir. “Her skin is smooth and wrinkle-free, and her cheeks and lips appear to be fuller.” Kassir, who has not treated Catherine, also says that her cheeks are more prominent now, looking fuller and more defined. Sources say Catherine has resorted…

THE LATEST anti-aging fad — eating Japanese sweet potatoes — has Hollywood beauty Olivia Munn swearing by the exotic food. The stunning actress, 35, says the purple potato keeps her skin looking young. “Japanese potatoes that are high in hyaluronic acid help keep wrinkles away.” The “X-Men: Apocalypse” star says she eats one of the purple potatoes, called “satsuma-imo” every day — and observers say her complexion is noticeably smoother than it was 12 months ago But the talented tubers aren’t a miracle cure, according to experts. “I don’t think they have anything magical about them,” says Lisa Moskovitz, registered dietitian and CEO of the NY Nutrition Group. “If you ate a lot of other things you’d be getting the same benefits.” Olivia agrees there are other ways to get…

GLOBE columnist 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 Hollywood newsmakers and fakers. GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE THIS is about two pathetic losers — Salma Hayek and her neighbor. Nobody is right here. And now we have a dead dog to show for it. They both disgust me! It all blew up in public when the sexy actress posted on the Internet: “… been mourning the death of my dog, Mozart, who I personally delivered out of his mother’s womb.

IN A stunning, nearly unanimous landslide vote, GLOBE readers are united on the issue of granting amnesty to illegal aliens. You are AGAINST IT!!! The response to our question in the Feb. 29 issue — should we give amnesty to illegal aliens and allow them to become U.S. citizens? — was a passionate, resounding, “No!” “We need to stop anchor babies! It has really gotten out of hand!” texts a reader in Washington. A West Virginia GLOBE fan says: “We have enough legal children suffering poverty. We DO NOT NEED illegals’ children to support.” And a tough texting Texan speaks for many other irate voters with this comment: “Close borders now and help the honest ones and get the rest out.... send them back to what ever country they came…

THE DIRT-poor dad of “Mr. Robot” star Christian Slater is ripping into his ex-wife and his movie star son for getting him blacklisted from Hollywood — and has slapped the pair with a whopping $20 million suit! Tom Slater, 80, the oncethriving actor who played Frank Ryan on “Ryan’s Hope” in the 1970s, is now reduced to working as a Los Angeles hospital parking valet for $10 an hour while Christian and mom Mary Jo live high on the hog. The struggling senior claims his ex-wife Mary Jo, 69, and Christian, 46, told people he suffers from schizophrenia and manic depression, and “colluded and conspired” to ruin him. Tom, who’s had to rely on food banks to survive, insists casting director Mary Jo started interfering with his career beginning in…

KATHIE Lee Gifford thought her career was over after she left “Live With Regis and Kathie Lee” in 2000, never expecting she’d be back on screen today! “I thought that I had done the best 15 years of television I could possibly do with Regis,” she says. The morning show gabster, 62, reveals that she was “actively pursuing not coming back to TV” — until 2008, when NBC’s “Today” begged her to join their team! Kathie Lee says when the offer came she thought: “Wow, how times have changed. Somebody was interested in a postmenopausal woman — and a has-been at that.” After a few months mulling the offer, the hesitant host finally jumped on board. She’s co-anchored the wildly popular fourth hour of “Today” with wine buddy Hoda Kotb…

AGING George Clooney is bolting from showbiz before he’s too wrinkled to land heartthrob roles — and has set his eye on a career in politics. Sources say the 54-yearold star’s outspoken lawyer wife, Amal, 38, is demanding he give up on Hollywood after his latest movies “Hail, Caesar!” and the sci-fi flick “Tomorrowland” were complete box-office disasters. “George has finally come around to Amal’s way of thinking,” says a source. “He realizes that he’s had it as a big-screen heartthrob. He hasn’t had a big hit in 16 years, with the exception of the ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ films.” A source close to the star adds, “George has a massive ego and the one thing he cannot take is failure — box office failure! “He’s had a string of movie flops…

AILING country legend Kenny Rogers shattered fears that he was at death’s door by showing up alive and kicking at a star-studded bash. The 77-year-old superstar fought off his dire health issues — including life-threatening hepatitis C and removal of a cancerous growth from his face — to take the stage at a Nashville charity event. “Kenny has made no secret of the fact that old age is catching up to him and even jokes about it in his concerts as he struggles to get around the stage,” says a source. The crooner alarmed fans when he axed three concerts in January during his final world tour, The Gambler’s Last Deal. His rep blamed the cancellations on a “minor illness.” But he rebounded to accept a Lifetime Entertainment Achievement Award…

GORGEOUS Swedishborn beauty GRETA GARBO was nicknamed “The Face” — for obvious reasons! Smitten MGM bigwigs imported the 20-yearold silent actress to the U.S. in 1925. But she really made her mark in the talkies when her radiant looks were matched with her sultry voice. This still comes from 1932’s “Grand Hotel” where she uttered her famous line: “I just want to be alone.” The notoriously private screen goddess pined for her drama school sweetheart, actress Mimi Pollak, and never married. When she died in 1990, few argued with the Guinness Book of Records proclaiming her “the most beautiful woman who ever lived.”…
