WILD Madonna’s risky behavior during the coronavirus plague, including flouting social distancing rules, has alarmed friends — and they’re urging her to get help right away! “Trouble is, she won’t listen to anyone, so the only way she’ll be getting professional treatment is via an intervention,” spills an insider. “The ‘yes’ people around her are terrified to do anything … but there are others who are telling her she needs help.” The 61-year-old Material Girl built her career on limelight-hogging antics, but a recent video showing her unmasked and hugging photog-pal Steven Klein at his birthday party — while presenting him with a “COVID cake” — appears to be the height of carelessness.

The fasttalking jokesters — that’s LOU COSTELLO at left and straight man BUD ABBOTT looking skyward — play vendors at a rodeo who mistakenly get caught in a cattle car and dumped in Indian country before making their way to a dude ranch. As ever in the New Jersey-born pair’s movies, which stretched from 1940 to 1956, it’s slapstick and farce all the way.

Anderson, 35, was slapped with second-degree murder charges after cops say she brought the “blue and lifeless” child to an emergency room in Fargo, N.D. — nearly 30 miles from her Barnesville home. But the innocent kid’s bruised body registered a chilly 82 degrees, and doctors estimated he’d been dead around 40 minutes!
