FORMER boy bander Ricky Martin’s troubles suddenly got a LOT worse — the Latin pop star is being accused of gay incest by a 21-year-old nephew! The former Menudo munchkin, now a 50-year-old father in a same-sex marriage, was slapped with a restraining order in early July by Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, who claims he had a seven-month fling with the Livin’ La Vida Loca singer. But Martin’s lawyer hammered away against the young man’s claims, saying he needs “urgent help” for his “deep mental health challenges.” And the Latin superstar claims the abuse allegations filed in court — including “exercising physical and psychological attacks” after the alleged affair — are “completely false and fabricated.” He also insists he never was sexually involved with Dennis. Martin will be fighting the claims in…

MURDEROUS tyrant Vladimir Putin is admitting economic sanctions imposed by America and Europe as well as battlefield wins by Ukraine are crippling Russia — and he’s looking for help out of the crisis he created! In a video powwow with his chief lieutenants, Putin conceded Russia is facing “a huge challenge” and “colossal difficulties” five months after an unprovoked attack on a much smaller neighbor, which was expected to collapse like a house of cards in a matter of days. But the battles still rage and British military expert Admiral Tony Radakin says evil Vlad “has already lost the Ukraine war!” At least 30 percent of Russia’s forces — 50,000 troops — have been killed or severely wounded, while 1,700 tanks and 4,000 armored vehicles have been destroyed since the…

OKLAHOMA oddball Larry Doil Sanders bizarrely confessed to murdering a fishing buddy because he feared his pal secretly planned to serve him up to Bigfoot, lawmen say. According to an arrest affidavit, spooked Sanders, 53, was convinced conniving Jimmy Glenn Knighten was going to abandon him in the wilderness — and make him a Sasquatch snack!

The arresting sheriff says the suspect…

FEARLESS reptile wranglers on the hunt for invasive Burmese pythons raided a snake nursery in the wilds of Florida — and bagged two supersized female serpents, 18 slithering hatchlings and nearly two dozen eggs! The hiss-toric motherload was found at the Big Cypress National Preserve. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officer Matthew Rubenstein and python contractor Alex McDuffie first encountered a 10-foot female coiled around 23 unhatched eggs — with almost 20 tiny squirming snakes nearby. When Rubenstein returned to the same site the following day, he discovered another monstrous mama measuring 17 feet, six inches long! “The pythons and unhatched eggs were removed from the sensitive habitat, helping to prevent future negative impacts to our native wildlife,” an FWC official reveals.

And Joan may be right — worried friends fear her tomorrows are severely limited, no matter how tough she is! “She’s only ten months off 90 but acts like a thirtysomething and it’s starting to catch up with her,” spills an insider. “Joan’s got the heart of a lioness, but all the globetrotting and eating out night after night in fancy restaurants is too much. “Trouble is, no one thinks Joan is taking this recent health scare seriously. She’s very lucky it was just a nerve and not a stroke.” While Joan…

YELLOWSTONE cupcake Q’orianka Kilcher has been charged with ripping off taxpayers for $97,000 in disability payments! The 32-year-old Pocahontas pretty was recently seen trotting from a Beverly Hills office building after the California Dept. of Insurance charged her in May with two felony counts of workers’ compensation insurance fraud. The department said Kilcher filed a claim in October 2018 for a neck and shoulder injury she says she received on the set of Dora and the Lost City of Gold and received $96,838 in temporary disability payments from 2019 through 2021 — allegedly because she was too injured to work.

BROKEN Brad Pitt flew to Italy to beg vengeful Angelina Jolie to end their long cash and custody war — even if it costs him a fortune and a ton of pride, spies say. The 58-year-old Troy hero and Angelina, 47, have been locked in a bitter war over their minor children, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 14, since 2016. Two other kids, Maddox, 21, and Pax, 18, became legal adults during the feud, which now extends to Europe.

SCREEN slugger Sylvester Stallone is bashing aged producer Irwin Winkler for not giving him the rights to his Rocky and Creed boxing flicks. Now 91, Winkler made Sly’s career by giving then unknown Stallone the lead role in 1976’s Rocky, which the actor wrote. Winkler still owns the rights to the six Rocky and three Creed flicks, but Stallone, now worth $400 million, is demanding them. The actor posted a drawing of Winkler, whose other hits include Goodfellas, as a vampire, saying: “A VERY Flattering portrait of The Great Rocky/Creed Producer, IRWIN WINKLER” and demanding “at least a little WHAT’s LEFT of my RIGHTS back.” Sly claims he wants them for his kids, but had no problem slamming Winkler’s writer-son David, 51, calling him “painfully untalented” and trashing his new…

REALITY babe Larissa Lima favors getting nip/tucks, but confesses a past tummy tuck was badly bungled when docs removed — and tossed away — her belly button! Since then, the distraught 90 Day Fiancé bombshell’s undergone three failed ops to get her belly button back. The 36-year-old beauty says doctors removed her navel “without her consent” a year ago. “It’s been over a year now since I’ve been botched,” she says on social media. “I did not want to speak of this before, but I’m tired of being silent in my sadness with nowhere to go to fix the problem.” She says more than a year ago, she got a tummy tuck, which was her “first botched procedure.

The Uptown Girl crooner was looking pretty portly while pounding the keys during his current tour and sources close to him estimate the runty 5-foot-5 star is a weigh-too-heavy 250 pounds. “Billy’s still belting out the tunes onstage, but the fear is his weight will become a major health issue for him if he doesn’t cut back on the fatty foods and carbs,” spills an insider. “He loves to stuff his face full of pasta and homemade sauce and cheesecake because he enjoys food.

TOM CRUISE, 60, ain’t no top gun in the eyes of MICKEY ROURKE. In fact, the Oscar-nominated The Wrestler star thinks global megastar Tom’s an “irrelevant” actor. Ouch! “The guy’s been doing the same f**ing part for 35 years … I got no respect for that,” slams the 69-year-old, unimpressed with Tom’s summer blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, which raked in over a billion box office bucks in its first three days alone! “I don’t care about money and power,” scoffs Mickey. “I care about, when I watch AL PACINO work, that’s the kind of actor I want to be like.

PRESIDENT John F. Kennedy was murdered in Dallas by Mafia hitmen working with accused gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, who was, indeed, played for a patsy, according to a relative of late Chicago mob boss Sam “Momo” Giancana, who arranged the job. Giancana’s great-nephew Nicholas Celozzi is breaking the family’s code of omerta — or silence — in an explosive story being filmed under the title 2 Days/1963 by The Untouchables filmmaker David Mamet. Celozzi says Giancana was furious with Kennedy for stopping the Bay of Pigs invasion that could’ve toppled Fidel Castro’s communist regime in Cuba. Word is the Mafia helped finance JFK’s 1960 presidential campaign in return for the promise he’d oust Castro so the racketeers could restore their cash-spinning Havana gambling casinos. Insider Celozzi got his info from…
