A VACCINE protecting against one of the most terrifying diseases on Earth — Ebola — is here at last! Researchers have developed an experimental vaccine they believe is 100 percent effective against the killer virus that inspired the movie Outbreak. More than 11,000 Africans have died from Ebola — which causes internal and external bleeding — within just the past three years. The lifesaving drug, known as rVSV-ZEBOV, was created in the aftermath of the latest outbreak on the continent. In the West African nation of Guinea, scientists identified potentially high-risk victims and used the “ring vaccination” method immunizing people in immediate contact with an infected patient to prevent transmission. Not one single person of the thousands inoculated developed the deadly bug after a 10-day incubation period. Just two people…

SHOWBIZ royalty boycotted Zsa Zsa Gabor’s funeral — after her headlinehungry hubby turned it into a “circus!” Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt sent out a press release claiming Kris Jenner, Barbara Eden, Larry King, Carol Channing, George Hamilton, Quincy Jones and even Debbie Reynolds — who died two days before the Dec. 30 service — would be attending! But Zsa Zsa’s former publicist, Edward Lozzi, says the self-proclaimed German prince “padded the press release to get more press!” He blasts the wily widower’s move as “fraudulent, despicable and a circus!” Stars like I Dream of Jeannie’s Barbara, CNN’s Larry, tan-man George and Broadway legend Carol asked to be removed from the list of attendees “due to obvious circumstances,” adds Lozzi. The PR guy dishes, “The fact that stars stayed away was…

WRESTLER Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka has body-slammed efforts to have him stand trial for the 1983 death of his galpal! A Pennsylvania judge, convinced Snuka, 73, suffers from severe dementia, formally dropped charges, ruling the gruff grappler was incompetent to stand trial for the death of Nancy Argentino, 23. Nancy was with Snuka before winding up in a hospital with a serious head injury — and her family believed Snuka was to blame. Outraged sister Lorraine Salome says her family expected Snuka to avoid a trial “because there were so many ridiculous things going on with the defense.” As GLOBE previously reported, Snuka frequently appeared “out of it” during court hearings. But Lorraine called Snuka’s court performance “a total act.” She wasn’t alone: One psychiatrist testified Snuka was faking dementia.…

SLEEPY Hollow star Janina Gavankar is spooked about her new role on the FOX hit. Knowing producers killed off fan favorite Abbie Mills, played by Nicole Beharie, Janina is nervous about how the show’s audience will react to her and her character, Diana! “They told me right away that we’re not replacing Abbie,” says Janina, who recognizes fans may not welcome her with open arms. “I am a person who has beloved shows that I get protective about, and I’m absolutely fine with everybody who feels that way because this is their show. So, yeah, I’m totally worried.” Janina’s concern is understandable, given that much of Sleepy Hollow’s success was due to the chemistry between Nicole and Tom Mison (Ichabod Crane). Executive producer Albert Kim says managing the show’s new…

STAR Trek star Nichelle Nichols looks ready to be beamed up — to heaven! Confined to a wheelchair since a stroke robbed her of her mobility on her right side in June 2015, Nichelle, who turned 84 on Dec. 27, appears drained and listless. “She is literally on her last legs,” says a source. As GLOBE reported last year, Nichelle triggered fears for her health after the feeble actress had to be wheeled through L.A.’s airport. At the time her rep said she used the mobility aid “because of the long lines at the TSA” and the distance to the gate. She was back at LAX on Jan. 1 — and STILL in a wheelchair! Her rep admits she uses the chair but insists the actress “has never felt better…

DONALD Trump is getting the last laugh on Hollywood celebrities who are begging to perform at his inauguration! “I want the PEOPLE!” the billionaire businessman declared via social media before being sworn in as America’s 45th president. Trump insiders say Bruce Springsteen, the Dixie Chicks, Billy Joel, the Beach Boys and country stud Blake Shelton and his galpal Gwen Stefani offered to perform — but got the cold shoulder! Even Saturday Night Live honcho Lorne Michaels, whose show regularly skewers Trump, asked for invites to several inaugural galas, but has been told to take a walk! “Some of these people were openly critical of Donald during the campaign. So there’s no way they’d be welcome,” one insider says. “Others waited too long to show their support for Donald, or turned…

Emma Stone is one of today’s hottest — and highest paid — actors. The 28-yearold Academy Award nominee has made her mark in movies such as Birdman, Superbad and The Amazing Spider-Man — and has even hosted Saturday Night Live twice! Here are 10 things you didn’t know about the stunning star of La La Land. 1 She lived on the grounds of Arizona’s historic spa, Camelback Inn, from age of 12 to 15. 2 Born in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 1988, Emma broke both arms after falling off parallel bars at age 7 and promptly gave up her dream of becoming a gymnast. 3 Lutheran-raised Emma was a Catholic schoolgirl — for one semester. She enrolled at Xavier College Preparatory, an all-girls high school, but dropped out to become an…

FAKE DESIGNER PURSES AS RETURN ITEMS A SCHEMING, sly Virginia preschool teacher who adored expensive designer carry-alls has been bagged herself — and sentenced to 33 months in the slammer! Thai-born Praepitcha Smatsorabudh developed a devious ruse to cheat dozens of retail stores — she would purchase pricey designer handbags, then return fake versions made in China and Hong Kong while selling the real bags online! Playing for keeps Prosecutors claim the conniving con artist also kept many of the highend bags — about $1 MILLION worth — for herself. “I think what you did was ingenious,” says judge Bruce Lee. “It’s just stealing, but the internet has given us so many more ways to steal. ... I thought I’d seen everything.” Smatsorabudh’s elaborate scheme involved traveling to more than…

CRAIG Robinson, who played the gruff but lovable warehouse foreman Darryl on The Office, is spiraling out of control with overeating and now weighs well over 300 pounds! Even worse, pals fear the strapping 6-foot-2 funnyman is gorging himself right into a premature death! “Craig has been very busy lately, and that’s why he hasn’t been watching his waist,” dishes a spy. The 45-year-old actor has kept active since The Office’s finale in 2013. His sitcom, Mr. Robinson, tanked after just six episodes, but he’s kept busy making movies, including Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and Sausage Party. But the extreme workload appears to be destroying his health. Dr. Stuart Fischer, a prominent New York internist who isn’t treating the actor, tells GLOBE, “Craig appears to weigh more than 350…

SCIENTISTS think they have stumbled across a revolutionary discovery in the battle against aging! Lab tests of mice using cellular reprogramming — a process that converts a living cell into a type of stem cell that can be genetically manipulated — increased the lifespan of the rodents by a whopping 30 percent! The breakthrough means telltale signs of aging like wrinkles, liver spots and droopy skin could someday be a thing of the past! “What we discovered is that we can change the program of a cell in an animal and we can convert an old program into a young program,” says researcher Alejandro Ocampo. “Our study shows that aging may not have to proceed in one single direction,” adds senior researcher Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte. Tests found reprogrammed mice…

MICHAEL KEATON abandoned his role as the Caped Crusader after 1992’s Batman Returns because the script for the third installment was a stinker and the director was a jerk! “It sucked,” says the actor. “The script never was good.” Michael points a finger at director Joel Schumacher, who helmed 1995’s Batman Forever, a flick widely considered less dramatic than the first two flicks starring Michael: “I knew it was in trouble when he [Joel] said, ‘Why does everything have to be so dark?’ ”…

Y&R ALUM REBOUNDS INTO NEW GIG LAMON Archey, who broke into daytime in 2012 as Mason on The Young and the Restless, has been cast on Days of Our Lives as a new character, Eli. The actor feels his troubles at Y&R forced him to get more out of his new job. “When I was at Y&R, it was a big learning experience for me,” he reflects. “I was a little bit over my head.” When he didn’t make it on the soap past 2014, Archey took steps to work on his craft. “Being thrown into that at Y&R was a wake-up call for me,” he says. “Looking back on my work, I knew that something wasn’t right. So I got into school and learned what I needed to do.”…

SUICIDAL Robin Williams pulled out all the stops to nab a role in the Harry Potter movies — but a rule by J.K. Rowling crushed the comic’s dream! Desperate to portray the series gamekeeper Hagrid, the Mork & Mindy legend even placed a personal call to Chris Columbus, the director of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. “Robin had called because he really wanted to be in the movie,” reveals casting director Janet Hirshenson. But the director was powerless to offer him the role — because Potter creator Rowling only wanted British actors in the film! “It was a British-only edict,” says Hirshenson, adding Robbie Coltrane was author J.K. Rowling’s first choice to play Hagrid! The ban on Americans left Robin — who died in 2014 — upset and he…

POP superstar George Michael was in agonizing despair when he died — because his beautiful voice had been destroyed! In 2011, George lost 20 percent of his lung capacity after a nasty bout of pneumonia. “Losing voice capacity for a man like him was like losing his inner self or his soul,” dishes a spy close to George, who adds the singer turned to booze and drugs to cope with the devastating personal tragedy. George was found dead inside his home on Christmas Day.…

Say cheers to cooking with suds! ✚ They’re the words you’ve been waiting for: Beer is good for you! Dietitian Toby Amidor advises using beer instead of oil when braising or brining meats. Oil is about 120 calories per tablespoon, while 12 ounces of a standard beer is only 150. “If you add a tablespoon to your meat dish ... you get a delicious taste,” explains Amidor. Besides adding low-cal flflavor, beer also provides B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium. Herpes linked to cancer threat ✚ Babies born with herpes face a deadly cancer risk!

No doubt Leo is panting a sigh of relief over out-smooching a pair of cartoon mutts!…

MEGYN Kelly has left FOX News for a sweetheart deal with NBC — and insiders are whispering her new gig could crowd out network golden boy Matt Lauer. NBC gave Matt, 59, a $25 million-a-year contract extension last fall to keep him behind the desk at Today through 2018. The offer shocked spies, who worried talking head Matt’s scandal-plagued life off-camera — including rumored affairs and drug use — and kid glove treatment of Donald Trump were a major liability. “Matt’s deal shows how much the network values him — but now there’s a new star in town with Megyn, and turf wars are inevitable,” says a mole. Megyn was wooed away from FOX with $20 million, offers to helm a daytime show, a Sunday evening news program and work…

AMERICAN astronomy experts have confififififirmed we are NOT alone — intelligent beings in another solar system are sending radio messages to Earth! But don’t jump for joy. A top scientist warns undeciphered signals could spell big trouble — Earthlings need to brace for a bloody invasion and start laying low. “As exciting as it is to fifinally have proof there is other intelligent life in the universe, we cannot take their intentions for granted,” says Dr. Julius Breyya, head of an astrophysics research facility outside of Kielce, Poland. “We should break off all contact — immediately — and stop inviting trouble. “Earth, with all its problems, is still a garden site for living beings. These mysterious aliens might be looking for a new place to settle or colonize. “If they’ve…

HEARTTHROB MICHAEL LANDON began his career as the star of the 1957 B-movie smash I Was a Teenage Werewolf. But he was bound for greater glory on TV. Born Eugene Maurice Orowitz in Queens, New York, the actor was just 22 in 1959 when he was chosen to play Bonanza’s Little Joe Cartwright. This 1974 photo was shot on the set of his even bigger hit, Little House on the Prairie. As producer, director and star of the series, Landon played kindhearted frontier dad Charles Ingalls and embodied the ideal American father: brave, tough, tender and fair. Off-screen, the chain-smoking idol was hardly a choir boy — abandoning two wives, chasing Hollywood lovelies, and drinking and drugging. The hard-living hunk succumbed to liver and pancreatic cancer at age 54 in…
