TYRANNICAL Vin Diesel’s bloated ego has triggered chaos on the Fast & Furious 10 set — driving the director to quit, increasing costs and leaving the long-awaited action sequel in doubt. Sources snitch the 54-year-old muscleman’s pigheadedness and slack attitude led director Justin Lin to suddenly walk out — despite a $10 million-plus paycheck! Lin’s abrupt departure comes just weeks after GLOBE revealed how vain Vin couldn’t convince A-listers to do cameos on the project following former co-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s refusal to return. “Vin has alienated a lot of folks,” declares an insider. “He insists on being front and center with every decision, but he doesn’t lead by example.” Before Lin bailed, former bar bouncer Diesel — a.k.a. Mark Sinclair — had been showing up late on set,…

RAY’S SEX DOLL’S A REAL PLEASURE Everybody loves a sex doll? Well, RAY ROMANO sure does in his new HBO series, Made for Love — in which he plays a man romantically involved with a sexy synthetic sweetie! “Every once in a while my wife will say, ‘Oh did you have scenes with your blowup doll?’ and I have to tell her, ‘It’s not a blow-up doll! It’s a synthetic partner, she weighs 80 pounds,’” jokes the 64-year-old comedian. “It’s not this flimsy blow-up doll that you bring to a bachelor party.” And it seems acting opposite the doll proved a real pleasure. “It’s funny because all the elements are the same,” maintains the star. “You have to get into character, you have to feel what the character’s feeling, and you’re…

ACTRESS Lea Michele dishes she gave gay pal and Glee co-star Jonathan Groff an up close sex ed lesson — by showing him her “whole vagina!” The bizarre incident came when the thisclose pair were starring in the 2006 Broadway musical Spring Awakening. Lea, now 35, recalls, “He was like, ‘I’ve never seen a woman’s vagina before. Would you show me?’ I was like, ‘Sure.’ And I took a desk lamp and showed him.” Jonathan, 37, didn’t show her his penis.…

DEVIANT Dr. Strange actress Zara Phythian and her horrible hubby sexually abused a 13-year-old after plying the British schoolgirl with booze — kicking off a twisted reign of terror that ran from 2005 to 2008, lawmen say. Martial artist Phythian, who appeared as Brunette Zealot in the 2016 Marvel blockbuster, and spouse Victor Marke, 59, are facing 14 charges of sexual activity with a child in the U.K. The alleged victim recently testified in court, claiming the stuntwoman, 37, manipulated her into sick sex romps with her and taekwondo coach Marke — and prosecutors say the couple filmed much of the vile abuse! “They saw the vulnerability in me and preyed on that,” says the woman, whose name was withheld by authorities. The gal also claims Marke threatened to smash…

MODEL Hailey Bieber had surgery to close the hole in her heart that allowed a blood clot to travel to her brain and cause her terrifying mini-stroke earlier this year! Hailey, 25, says docs initially thought birth control pills, COVID-19 and transatlantic plane trips created a clot-causing “perfect storm.” The fashion mannequin recalls briefly feeling her face droop and being unable to talk with singer hubby Justin before being rushed to the hospital with a transient ischemic attack. She’s since revealed a follow-up found a nearly 13-millimeter hole in her heart, the “highest grade” possible PFO. The naturally occurring opening normally closes within a year of birth. However, Hailey says her stubborn PFO was remedied by a procedure that went “smoothly,” allowing her to move on from a “really scary…

REALITY TV queen bee Kim Kardashian is being branded “disgusting” and “unhinged” for switching photos of one niece for another — and even darkening the child’s skin to match — in a new doctored photo scandal. The firestorm exploded after 41-year-old Kim — long accused of using filters to hide body flaws and boost her assets — posted a snap of her daughter Chicago, 4, and her sister Khloé’s four-year-old daughter, True, which she said was snapped at California’s Disneyland last October. Only the tyke originally pictured WASN’T True, who hadn’t been to the park — it was Stormi, 4, daughter of half-sister Kylie Jenner, who was later cut out of the image! Kylie had asked Kim not to use Stormi’s photo because they were lying low following the Astroworld…

SOAP queen Deidre Hall has had it with real-life double Jaclyn Smith because fans keep mistaking her for the original Charlie’s Angels beauty — who gets a wicked kick out of the mix-up. Hall has played Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of Our Lives for 46 years and should be recognizable on her own — yet she can’t go to the supermarket without fans whispering, “It’s Jaclyn Smith!” says a source. Deidre’s soap character “had an evil twin, but it’s her real-life look-alike that’s become annoying,” dishes the insider. Jaclyn, 76, only starred as crime-busting Angel Kelly Garrett from 1976 to 1981, and while she’s been busy acting ever since, she hasn’t been as visible as Deidre, 74, who’s on a daily soap. “Yet people recognize Jaclyn for who she is!”…

MONACO’S troubled Princess Charlene made her first public appearance since a five-month stint in a Swiss mental health clinic, but she wasn’t smiling! The 44-year-old blonde was snapped with cheating hubby Prince Albert and their seven-year-old twins, Gabriella and Jacques, at Monaco’s car-racing E-Prix, where a source says, “Princess Charlene looks pensive.” Ironically, Albert, 64, who currently supports two love children, but denies a recent claim of a third, was waving and beaming as if he had everything under control. But as GLOBE has reported, Charlene, a former Olympic backstroker for South Africa, has never seemed to fit in as the cooperative royal wife. Before their 2011 marriage, the beauty tried to bolt to South Africa three times, once taking refuge in her country’s embassy. But sources claim she couldn’t…

MICHELLE PFEIFFER is getting something off her chest, confessing: “I really owe my career to a woman who was upset about her cantaloupes!” Now one of Hollywood’s reigning drama queens, Michelle was just an aimless 18-year-old supermarket clerk when a crabby customer’s fruity meltdown triggered an epiphany — the fruits of her labor were being wasted. So savvy Michelle swiftly switched lanes and headed for Hollywood! Now starring as BETTY FORD in Showtime’s First Lady series, Michelle also commends first husband, Thirtysomething star PETER HORTON, for giving her confidence. While their marriage didn’t last, the former beauty queen credits her supportive ex-spouse for likening her to classy movie legend KATHARINE HEPBURN!

FRAIL Partridge Family alum Danny Bonaduce is taking a medical leave from his Seattle radio show because a “mystery illness” robbed him of his balance and left him hobbling with a cane! Danny, 62, broke the news on Twitter that he was stepping away from The Danny Bonaduce & Sarah Morning Show and was “still working towards receiving a diagnosis.” His sister Celia Bonaduce chimed in with: “Many of you have reached out to see what’s going on with my brother. “We are not being coy when we say this is a ‘mystery illness.’ In layman’s terms, his balance sucks — super sucks — and all the great medical minds of Seattle are at work trying to solve this conundrum.” Troubled former child star Danny has grappled in the past…

VOCALIST Nicole Scherzinger got her first serious taste of the spotlight in 2001 through The WB’s Popstars, which saw her become part of the short-lived girl group Eden’s Crush.

Here are ten things you don’t know about the Honoluluborn beauty. 1 Her birth name was Nicole Prascovia Elikolani Valiente, but she acquired her current surname after being adopted as a kid by her mother’s husband, Gary Scherzinger. 2 Though her family moved to Kentucky when she was six, she still considers Hawaii home. 3 The 5-foot-5 performer wishes she…

AMERICAN Idol champ Laine Hardy was tossed in the clink after a former girlfriend accused the country crooner of planting an audio recording device in her Louisiana State University dorm room! The 2019 winner of the reality TV contest was arrested after the creeped-out coed, whose name was withheld by officials, discovered a voice-activated recorder beneath her bed and called the cops. Authorities charge the Memorize You singer, 21, left the item behind “to monitor her conversations” after their four-month fling fizzled in February. A booking document states the gal told lawmen Hardy, who’s not an LSU student, previously copped to bugging her room while they dated.

EVIL Russian warmonger Vladimir Putin is terrified he’ll be snuffed or replaced by a coup while he’s knocked out by drugs and undergoing cancer surgery! But the Kremlin kingpin’s health is so bad intelligence sources say he has no choice and finally agreed to go under the knife in the near future. Earlier reports by GLOBE revealing the cruel invader of Ukraine was secretly suffering from cancer were confirmed by a European news channel, General SVR, which declares the 69-year-old dictator would have to surrender power while he’s undergoing surgery and for a “short” recovery period — no more than three days. Nikolai Patrushev, a former FSB spy chief like Putin, has been designated to hold power while the strongman is knocked out. “Putin is unlikely to agree to hand…

TRAGIC little beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey’s father is demanding a new probe into the six-year-old’s horrific 1996 murder, insisting the investigation be taken away from Colorado cops, who have failed to crack the case! Still-grieving John Ramsey, 78, is supporting an online petition asking for the new investigation and says DNA evidence that was never examined should be taken from Boulder cops and given to a new agency. “Somehow we’ve got to force the police, or take it away from them, the ability to go ahead and test some of the crime scene evidence that was never tested for DNA,” Ramsey says. “Why that’s never been done and will never be done by the police baffles me.” Blond kiddie beauty pageant winner JonBenét’s body was discovered in the basement wine…

TECH tycoon Bill Gates lost more than money in his $130 billion divorce. Ex-wife Melinda walked off with their pet pooch too! “She got the dog. She just killed me with that,” Bill jokingly barks. “The world should know how mistreated I was. No, I’m kidding. We weren’t mean to each other.” The philandering philanthropist, 66, claims he’s still “grieving” the end of their 27-year marriage and also insists they amicably split their fortune. However, Melinda, 57, tells a slightly different tale!…

COMIC Bill Murray claims the boorish behavior that closed down his latest movie set was just a joke gone bad. “I did something I thought was funny and it wasn’t taken that way,” insists the 71-year-old SNL and Caddyshack legend, who shuttered the set of Being Mortal — co-starring actress Keke Palmer, 28 — pending a probe into claims of inappropriate sexual shenanigans. As GLOBE previously reported, the gal and specific details of the incident haven’t been revealed, but she and Murray were working a scene and he did something that outraged her enough to complain to bigwigs, who suspended production. Murray now says, “We are talking and trying to make peace.” In the past, hard-drinking Bill’s had run-ins with actors Lucy Liu, Chevy Chase and Richard Dreyfuss.…

THE Mafia’s slippery Teflon Don John Gotti finally went to prison after being ratted out by hitman Sammy “The Bull” Gravano — who believed the mob boss targeted him for death. That’s the chilling reason Gravano broke the Mafia’s code of silence and flipped on his godfather, according to former crime-busting Deputy U.S. Attorney John Gleeson’s bombshell book, The Gotti Wars: Taking Down America’s Most Notorious Mobster. At the time Gravano sold out Gotti in 1987, Gleeson was readying to try the Gambino family boss for murder a second time. Based on FBI wiretap tapes played at a pretrial hearing, Gravano told Gleeson he believed Gotti wanted him dead because the don “sounds like he’s trying … to go along with whacking me.” So the pair and two FBI agents…

GERMAN tennis great Boris Becker was served a two-and-a-half-year prison term in London for hiding hundreds of thousands in property after declaring bankruptcy in 2017! His lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw begged the court for leniency, claiming the six-time Grand Slam champion — who once boasted a $50 million fortune — “has literally nothing and there is also nothing to show for the most glittering of sporting careers.” But Judge Deborah Taylor blasted the onetime Baron von Slam, 54, for refusing to show remorse or humility — though she declined to impose the maximum sentence. As GLOBE reported, the three-time Wimbledon winner had faced up to seven years behind bars for his April conviction on four charges under the Insolvency Act — including removal of property, concealing debt and two counts of…

HAMILTON the pig is being hailed as a hero after saving his owner’s bacon during a raging house fire! U.S. Navy veteran Gilbert Anaya, 30, squeals his 500-pound pet pig trotted to the rescue when his house in Union, N.J., went up in flames. Anaya says the April 11 fire began when a surge protector in the garage short-circuited and set Hamilton’s bedding on fire. The horrified hog hoofed it out the garage door to safety, but first he did a trick his owner taught him — he used his snout to close the door behind him, which deprived the flames of extra oxygen and kept them from immediately engulfing the house! Anaya gratefully grunts Hamilton’s actions are why he is alive today. “The fire department said him closing the…

TOP lawmakers slammed the Pentagon and federal bureaucrats for stonewalling their attempts to find out where UFOs are coming from, why they’re here and if they’re a threat to America and Earth! While the military has shifted its decades-old policy of denying or ignoring UFO sightings to admitting they exist, lawmakers are demanding officials “take more seriously the reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin violating protected airspace.” Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett of the House Transportation Subcommittee on Aviation doubts the U.S. Defense Department will do a good job investigating UFOs after denying their existence since the 1950s. “I don’t trust the Department of Defense to get this right since leadership there has always been part of a cover-up,” he says. Four months after Congress ordered the Pentagon to…

COUNTRY king Garth Brooks is a natural disaster — the ruckus he triggered at an April 30 concert registered as an earthquake! The 60-year-old cowboy crooner set the football stadium packed with more than 100,000 fans at Louisiana State University rumbling when he launched into a local ditty, Callin’ Baton Rouge. The stadium began rockin’ as the crowd sang along word for word and the noise registered a small earthquake on the school’s seismograph, says a source. Later, the star tweeted: “tonight was better than my wildest dreams. Love, g.”…
