BRAZEN Barack Obama’s scandalous 60th birthday bash is threatening to be a COVID superspreader event after 74 people tested positive following the Martha’s Vineyard gala. After hundreds of maskless A-list guests flocked to the expresident’s $12 million estate, there was an immediate increase in cases on the Massachusetts island — the highest number since April. The shameless event, which GLOBE reported was publicly snubbed by an outraged President Joe Biden, has been slammed a “superspreader” by critics, who note the epicenter of the new outbreaks was Edgartown, where many of Obama’s guests stayed. Local health spokesperson Maura Valley says “it’s impossible for us to know at this point” how many infections are linked to the event without “comprehensive contact tracing.” After being publicly shamed by Biden for violating his COVID…

ROCKER John Mellencamp must be hell to get along with or awful picky — the Hurts So Good singer is single again after breaking up with blond real estate broker Natasha Barrett following less than six months of dating, sources say. The 69-year-old I Need a Lover star hooked up with Natasha, 46, right after the crash of his eight-month romance with TV dermatologist Nurse Jamie Sue Sherrill. Before the skin specialist, the Jack & Diane hitmaker had an on-and-off love-in with Sleepless in Seattle beauty Meg Ryan. Sources say John, who’s prepping for his Farm Aid fest in Hartford, Conn., and Natasha are “still friendly and still speaking,” but their togetherness “didn’t work out.” As GLOBE previously reported, John and Meg, 59, were house hunting shortly before they broke…

SOME things from the ’80s are best left forgotten — like mile-high hair and neon fashion! But some of the biggest names from that decade of decadence have yet to fade from memory — and the spotlight. Here’s a glimpse at famous faces from the era and how they look now! VAL KILMER Handsome Val was a whiz kid in 1985’s Real Genius — but the once hunky star, now 61, was socked by throat cancer that left him breathing through a hole in his neck! DEMI MOORE Demi was the grande dame of the decade with her turns in Ghost and St. Elmo’s Fire, and the Striptease actress, 58, dished all about her life in the 2019 memoir Inside Out.

ACCUSED sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s latest attempt to get out of jail — by using the bizarre Bill Cosby defense — has bombed! The 59-year-old British socialite requested her case be dropped, claiming she couldn’t be charged because her late boss, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, made a 2007 immunity deal with federal lawyers that he and his co-conspirators wouldn’t be prosecuted after he pleaded guilty to paying a 14-year-old for sex. Judge Alison Nathan denied Ghislaine’s claim because she personally hadn’t made the deal. Currently awaiting trial in a Brooklyn, N.Y., slammer on charges she groomed underage girls for Epstein, Ghislaine was claiming the technicality that sprung disgraced funnyman Cosby. The comedy creep’s tenyear sentence for sexual assault was dismissed by a high court on the technicality that a prosecutor had promised him…

NOT getting enough shut-eye for just three days in a row can “greatly deteriorate” your physical and mental well-being — and may even trigger feelings of loneliness and anger, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of South Florida’s School of Aging Studies in Tampa examined the consequences of getting fewer than six hours of sleep nightly in a study involving nearly 2,000 healthy, middle-aged adults over eight consecutive days. Experts consider six hours the bare minimum of sleep required for adults, with seven to nine hours being the recommended range. The scientists found subjects reported feeling irritable, frustrated, nervous and/or lonely after just one night of rotten rest. The study participants also claimed they experienced more aches and pains. The researchers say concerning effects progressively grew in…

AFTER having to drop out of some events at the Tokyo Olympics due to the “twisties” mental daze, gymnast Simone Biles has now suffered a physical injury — a dog bite. Biles revealed a mangled finger in a social media post, saying: “I went to the doctor to get a tetanus shot.” The pooch-loving pixie, 24, got bit at a farm in Houston while visiting family and beau Jonathan Owens, a safety for the NFL’s Texans. “I’ve grown up my whole life with German Shepherds and never got bit,” says the tumbler. “This dog at the farm said NOT TODAY.”…

Social media maniacs went bats**t bonkers after learning BEANIE FELDSTEIN, and not LEA MICHELE, would headline the first Broadway revival of Funny Girl, the musical that launched BARBRA STREISAND into superstardom back in 1964! “How did Lea Michele NOT get this?” groans one of many flabbergasted fans. Well, JONAH HILL’s 28-year-old lil sis has been prepping for this role all her life. “The first time I played Fanny Brice was at my third birthday party, in a head-to-toe leopard print outfit my mom made for me,” boasts Beanie, now starring as MONICA LEWINSKY in FX’s limited series Impeachment: American Crime Story. “So, it’s safe to say that stepping into this iconic role, on Broadway and not in my family’s backyard, is…

Battered thief messed with wrong dude A WOULD-BE car thief is licking his wounds after trying to swipe the wheels of mixed martial arts pro Jordan Williams, who whacked the crook black and blue! The big beatdown came after the six-foot, 170 pounds of whoop-ass pulled into a Denver gas station and went inside to get a drink and some eats while leaving his motor running. When he came out, he saw a man climbing behind the wheel of his sedan. Security footage caught the carjacker starting to back the silver auto out of the parking slot as the 30-year-old fighter ran up and yanked the door open. “At first I couldn’t really believe it,” says the tattooed fighter. “And then I was like, ‘Holy s**t, there’s someone really in…

CASH COW Caitlyn Jenner’s crushing need for attention is costing her big-time — sources say friends and hangers-on are sucking her dry! While the sex-swapping celebrity’s gubernatorial campaign is failing fast and reportedly drowning in debt, sources dish she’s footing the bill for moochers who are riding Cait’s coattails! “Cait is as generous a soul as anyone you could ever meet, and she picks up the tab as a point of principle,” spills an insider. “It gives her pleasure to reward friends and employees with bonuses, gifts and spontaneous perks — but there are some serious liberties being taken!” The 71-year-old I Am Cait alum’s Malibu house has “weirdos coming and going, sleeping in spare rooms and ordering whatever they want on Cait’s credit card,” the source adds. “They get food…

STAR TREK’S famed Lt. Uhura — 88-year-old Nichelle Nichols — remains trapped in a fierce conservatorship battle! The actress’ son, Kyle Johnson, her former manager Gilbert Bell and her friend, actress Angelique Fawcette, are locked in a brutal tug-ofwar over the dementia-addled star. As GLOBE has reported, Johnson filed an explosive lawsuit in 2018, charging his mom was being used as a cash cow by greedy hangerson preying on her diminished mental state. Bell fired back, claiming Kyle was trying to lock his mom away in a nursing home in a bid to control her $10 million fortune! Johnson eventually won control of his mother’s affairs, but since then he and Bell have repeatedly tangled in court over Nichols — who was TV’s first Black sex symbol as a mini-skirted…

RENEGADE Prince Harry and his diva wife, Meghan, are being shunned by Hollywood A-listers, turning their California dream into a nightmare, insiders say. Just a year after the rogue royals moved into their $14 million mansion in celebrity-heavy Montecito, they’ve already worn out their welcome, dish Tinseltown insiders. “They’ve gone from mustsee novelties to must-beavoided egomaniacs!” sneers an entertainment industry bigwig. “The excitement of rubbing elbows with royalty has long evaporated for a who’s who of stars. “Harry and Meghan have been throwing their weight around like they’re the king and queen of Hollywood, using their royal status to pursue — and get — megadeal after megadeal. “And that’s left a bad taste in the mouths of stars who’ve worked their whole lives to get to the top. “The couple’s…

MUSIC icon Bob Dylan’s legacy is blowin’ in the wind now that the Nobel Peace Prize winner is tangled in a horrific child abuse scandal — with explosive claims he used drugs, booze and threats of violence to turn a 12-year-old girl into his sex toy! “This is devastating for Dylan at his age and especially during the #MeToo movement,” says music and media critic Bill Mann. “He has spent years cultivating an image as a symbol of positive social change, and these kinds of charges — whether they’re true or not — can tarnish that legacy forever!” In a shocking Aug. 13 Manhattan lawsuit, a gal identified as “J.C.” accuses the now 80-year-old Lay Lady Lay singer of assault, battery and false imprisonment, “leaving her emotionally scarred and psychologically…

Ryan Fischer spent three weeks in the hospital and nearly died after being shot while walking the diva’s three French bulldogs in Hollywood in February. Gaga paid all his medical expenses, but Fischer claims he’s homeless and still battling “emotional and mental health” issues.

MANY rich people whine they should pay less taxes and keep more dough for themselves, but the latest craze rocking the wealthy — gigantic and costly New Age crystals — shows they’re spoiled fat cats who have no idea what to do with their excess moolah.

But the new crystal trend triggered by moneybags constantly looking for ways to blow excess cash falling out of their pockets is huge boulders with price tags of more than $300,000! Tony boutiques are getting $125,000 for an amethyst coffee table,…
