BILL Clinton’s battle with a tragic brain disease is sparking fears he won’t live to see the November elections. The former President has been spotted with his hands and legs shaking uncontrollably — disturbing symptoms of a fatal brain disorder, say insiders. “Bill is clearly not the same person he was a year ago or even six months ago,” says a political spy. “He is much slower physically and he suffers periodic mental lapses.” Calling Clinton’s condition “clearly deteriorated,” the source notes the ex-Prez “clearly has trouble maintaining his balance. It’s just devastating to see him like this.” GLOBE revealed in September 2009 that Clinton was fighting Parkinson’s disease, a brain illness highlighted by worsening tremors of the arms, legs, jaws and face. Clinton’s condition seemed to stabilize for some…

JACK Nicholson’s docs have warned the 300-pound star he’s eating himself to death and desperately needs to lose weight before it’s too late! Once a dashing leading man, Jack, 78, now sports a double chin and waddles when he walks — carrying a mountain of blubber on his 5-foot-9 frame, insiders says. “His friends are concerned and so are his doctors,” says a source. “They’re worried about his cholesterol, his blood pressure, and the stress being overweight can put on a body. “They want him to slim down — before he has a stroke or heart attack!” Certainly, Nicholson has slowed way down — but friends aren’t sure whether it’s old age or weight.

A TOP neonatal specialist is exposing the horrible heartbreak President John F. Kennedy and wife Jackie hid from the world when their infant son Patrick died soon after birth in 1963.

Ryan describes the harrowing hours before and after little Patrick’s death.
