STORAGE Wars stars — and former flames — Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante butted heads at a California watering hole, cops say, and the bullying bidder was charged with domestic violence after allegedly shoving his ex — twice! The onetime couple, known as The Young Guns during their 13 seasons with the A&E show, confirmed their 2018 split earlier this year. But police say Jarrod, 43, recently showed up at an Orange County bar where Brandi, 41, was with friends and their verbal confrontation quickly turned physical.

But authorities didn’t buy his story and charged him with one count of misdemeanor domestic violence battery! So…

His friends scrambled to safety — but sadly, the vicious predator chomped deep into the surfer’s upper right thigh!

AS ROBERT DURST stands trial for the murder of a female friend, lawyers now accuse the real estate heir of executing his missing wife, Kathie — on the orders of his billionaire family! In explosive legal papers, attorneys for Kathie’s sister, Carol Bamonte, charge Durst’s wife, who disappeared in 1982, was actually silenced because she “was set to expose illegal business dealings within the family’s real estate company.” Bamonte’s lawyers further charge the Durst family, worth more than $8 billion, with a cover-up “to protect [Robert] and The Durst Organization from any connection to Kathie’s disappearance and murder.” The chilling claims were made at 78-year-old Durst’s newly reopened Los Angeles trial for the 2000 murder of his pal Susan Berman.

I was overweight.” She became so unhappy that by “13 I was ready to die — crying to my mom [Shante], ‘I’m so ugly.’ I hated everything about me.” Now, she says her family and beau Wayne Deuce “give me a purpose to live.”…

PSYCHEDELIC designer drug MDMA — also known as Ecstasy — offered relief to patients terrorized by post-traumatic stress disorder when coupled with counseling, a recent study shows. In the trial — run by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco — 67 percent of those receiving MDMA and talk therapy no longer qualified for a PTSD diagnosis after two months. According to lead study author Dr. Jennifer Mitchell, the combined treatment appears to help the brain better process painful memories and heal from emotional trauma. Senior author Dr. Rick Doblin explains, “It’s not the drug — it’s the therapy enhanced by the drug.” Veteran Scott Ostrom, who was twice deployed to Iraq, says since participating in the trial, his PTSD-related nightmares are gone. “Literally, I’m a different person,” he…

The “beautiful but not over the top” ceremony in the backyard of the 5,500-square-foot estate reportedly featured hundreds of white and pink florals, but just a handful of onlookers because of the pandemic lockdown! “They got married.

EMBATTLED Ellen DeGeneres is stuffing her face with vegan comfort food, but the talk show queen’s plan is raising a big stink — her body odor is noxious, sources tattle. Reeling from plunging TV ratings and accusations she ran a toxic show, the 63-year-old has become a binge snacker and doesn’t seem to care what people think of the way she smells, spies say. “Eating nonstop seems to be the only pleasure she gets these days,” dishes an insider. “But the after effects aren’t nice to be around, plus she’s never been big on perfume or deodorant!” Now that she’s announced her show will end in 2022, “she’s stuffing her face” like there’s no tomorrow, claims the source, who insists her comfort snacks include figs, stuffed grape leaves, vegan mac and…

BIZARRE But True has gone to the birds, at least this week! Take a gander: •What the pluck? Poultry powerhouse Tyson Foods blames the chicken shortage currently plaguing American restaurants on roosters! Execs complain the feathered gigolos aren’t fertilizing enough eggs. But this may be a good thing. •Chick-fil-A eateries are crying foul over a severe sauce shortage and are rationing packets for chicken nuggets. This time people, not roosters, are taking the rap. •Then there’s more crappy news from Tampa, Fla., where residents are complaining a flock of 25 turkey vultures are dropping massive bird bombs all over their houses. While wildlife officials agree the situation stinks, homeowners are being told to stop squawking — it’s illegal to kill the critters without a permit.…
