CAITLYN JENNER’s son Brandon reveals his then dad Bruce all but disappeared from his life after his father wed third wife Kris Jenner! Brandon, now 38, who’s mom was Bruce’s second wife, Linda Thompson, writes: “I didn’t see my father more than half a dozen times between the ages eight and 25,” in the book To Me, He Was Just Dad, about the kids of celebrities. “Sadly the infrequent exchanges felt more like staged photo opportunities than real bonding,” he says of picture sessions, many of them for holiday cards. He also notes that the former Olympic decathlon champ was a cheapskate who once bought him a $250 bike, but “made me promise I’d pay him back for it.” Noting that they’re closer since Bruce/Caitlyn’s sex change, Brandon believes “we…

VITAMIN D — known as the “sunshine” vitamin — may also be a tumor-taming gladiator! New Michigan State University research finds it may extend the life spans of cancer patients. Our bodies naturally transform the sun’s rays into vitamin D and we can up our intake by eating fish, eggs, mushrooms or an over-the-counter supplement. After studying data from nearly 80,000 patients, the university scientists found if taken for at least three years, vitamin D increases the longevity of cancer patients. “Vitamin D had a significant effect on lowering the risk of death among those with cancer,” says lead study author Tarek Haykal, an internal medicine resident physician at the university. Although more research is needed, there’s ample evidence for doctors, especially oncologists, to prescribe vitamin D, Haykal adds.…

THE outrageous menu at a new Chinese restaurant in Texas was revamped after critics ripped into its “over-the-top offensive” dish and drink descriptions! Prominent Dallas restaurateur Phil Romano raised eyebrows when he opened Sum Dang Good Chinese at the upscale Trinity Groves eating and shopping center, both for its name and menu details. For example, the cocktail listing was accompanied by the phrase, “Confucius say ‘Bottoms up,’” and the desserts were heralded with “Who doesn’t love a happy ending?” — seemingly a reference to sexual services offered at massage parlors. Local chef Reyna Duong was one of many who expressed outrage. “Phil Romano, grow the f**k up and ACT like a professional business person with some sense and human decency,” she fumed on Twitter. Romano initially said of his critics,…

PRUDISH Disney censors working on a rerelease of the hit Splash just went overboard by covering up movie mermaid Daryl Hannah’s cute butt with fake computerized hair!

These censors are nitwits.”…

EVEN after surgery to save her eye after a freak accident, Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie’s sight is fading and she needs to go under the knife again. Docs repaired the 48-year-old newsgal’s torn retina four months ago, but she says the fix was just temporary and her vision “certainly isn’t where it was, and I think it’s getting worse. I have to have a couple of follow-up surgeries.” The “expected” extra ops have had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The morning co-host suffered the retina tear when her three-year-old son, Charley, accidentally smacked her eye with his toy train. “Eventually, I’ll be able to schedule those surgeries, and I’m hopeful there’ll be a big improvement,” she says. “I don’t think my eye will ever be the way…

Following Davis’ conviction, Cook County prosecutors say a bounty was put on her head, and in September the young mom-to-be was shot dead — not far from the scene of her relative’s murder.

Rogers even posted videos on social media showing off his expensive new shoes and waving a fistful of $100…
