So I asked the front desk, ‘Who is cleaning at 3 a.m.?’ and they were like, ‘Oh that’s just the ghost!’ It turned out I was staying in a known haunted hotel.” Better keep the place TIDY or else!?…

BULLHEADED Barbra Streisand has blasted Bradley Cooper’s 2018 remake of A Star Is Born — saying it’s a bad copycat of the 1976 version she did with Kris Kristofferson! What’s more, the icon scolded director Bradley, 46, for having “the wrong idea” by casting himself opposite Lady Gaga! “At first, when I heard it was going to be done again, it was supposed to be Will Smith and Beyoncé, and I thought, that’s interesting,” says Babs, 79. “Really make it different again, different kind of music, integrated actors so I was surprised when I saw how alike it was to the version that I did in 1976!” The movie was also made in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, and in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason.…

BLACK market pill peddler Wagner “Wanny” Checonolasco copped to his role in swiping over $8.2 million in HIV drugs from a veterans hospital in New Jersey — and could get more than five years in the slammer for the massive med heist! Wanny, 34, pleaded guilty to conspiring to steal government property, according to acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig, and is set to be sentenced in December.

According to charging documents, between 2017 and 2019 “Hoffman ordered large quantities of HIV prescription medications so that she could steal the excess,” which she allegedly sold to Wanny, who turned the ill–gotten wares for…

SLEEP-STARVED moms taking care of newborns may feel a lack of shut-eye is taking years off their life — and a new study suggests they might be right! UCLA researchers analyzed telomeres — the portions of DNA that represent biological age — in new mothers for up to a year after childbirth. They say data showed women who got less than seven hours of sleep a night developed shorter telomeres that corresponded to aging up to seven years greater than gals of the same chronological age who got more rest. The scientists warn biological aging may increase the risk of heart disease and cancer, and lead study author Professor Judith Carroll says, “The early months of postpartum sleep deprivation could have a lasting effect on physical health.”…

MESSAGE in a Bottle star Sting uncorked a sour grapes feud by claiming he and wife Trudie Styler were tricked into buying an Italian winery by sampling vino from an entirely different region. The Police singer charges the flimflam was pulled off by the late Duke Simone Vincenzo Velluti Zati di San Clemente, who offered him a glass of chianti that was so yummy, he and Trudie immediately bought the Palagio winery in Tuscany in 1997. “The duke asked me if I wanted to taste the wine produced by the estate and I said yes. It was an excellent wine and that convinced me to buy the vineyards as well,” Sting says. Sting insists he later learned the duke had fooled them with a glass of fine wine from the…

COUNTRY queen Dolly Parton’s hoity-toity 9 to 5 co-stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin won’t give her the time of day, Hollywood insiders dish! According to sources, the bad blood dates back to when the three began filming the hit 1980 comedy about fed-up gals who work for an egotistical, lying, sexist boss, played by the late Dabney Coleman. “To the public, these ladies are as warm and gregarious as their hilarious 9 to 5 characters, but that’s far from the truth,” tattles an insider. “Jane and Lily are tough, no-nonsense types and Dolly’s glittery charm and bubbly personality has always rubbed them the wrong way. It still does, although they would never admit it publicly. “They don’t invite her to lunch or send congratulations on her various successes. “That…
