COUNTRY superstar Tim McGraw has released two new albums in the past three years, but wife Faith Hill hasn’t done one in 18 years—and friends fear the blond beauty believes her solo career is kaput! Faith’s last solo album was 2005’s Fireflies—and since then, she’s only done a Christmas collection. Back in 2017, the 56-year-old songbird did a bunch of duets with Tim, also 56, leaving sources saying her solo career has dwindled to being her hubby’s sidekick. Meanwhile, she and Tim teamed for three Soul2Soul tours that smashed box office records and grossed a whopping $250 million. But now the country hunk is on the road without her and a friend tattles Faith fears hitting the road on her own. “Tim and Faith do so well as a husband-and-wife…

HUMILIATED Haunted Mansion beauty Tiffany Haddish vows to “get help” after being busted for a second DUI in less than two years. “This will never happen again,” vows the embarrassed 44-year-old Girls Trip star. “I’m going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries.” The arrest came in the early hours of Nov. 24 after she’d performed at the Laugh Factory when Beverly Hills cops say they found her car “stopped in lanes of traffic” and she was “asleep behind the wheel.” Luckily, there were “no collisions,” cops add. Booked for DUI at a Beverly Hills slammer, she was released later that day. She was also arrested for snoozing behind the wheel in January 2022. Georgia cops initially believed she’d been using marijuana. She later joked about her…

THERE’S big trouble at the border—a brutal breed of wild super swine is poised to invade the United States from Canada! Scientists call the hybrid feral hogs the “most invasive animal on the planet” and say the critters threaten to cause “an ecological train wreck” once they enter the unsuspecting U.S. Canada is already being rocked by an exploding population of the crossbred porkers that combine the survival skills of wild Eurasian boar—which have been known to kill humans—with the size and high fertility rate of domestic pigs. Some 62,000 hybrid hog sightings have been documented by Canadian researchers, with one spotted just 18 miles from the Minnesota border! “Wild pigs are prolific breeders, making them a highly successful invasive species,” declares expert Ruth Aschim. “They can cause soil erosion,…

A HUSH-HUSH CIA project has covered up at least nine alien spacecraft crashes on Earth over the last 20 years and secretly salvaged the wreckage, including two completely undamaged UFOs, whistleblowers claim. A confidential source reveals the spy agency’s Office of Global Access (OGA) has been sending top-secret military teams around the world to collect crashed “non-human craft” since 2003. Three other sources, who insist on remaining anonymous, suggest the OGA is hiding details of the wrecks, which did not originate on Earth—claims that support CIA expert Jeffrey Richelson’s bombshell revelations detailing a massive government-orchestrated UFO cover-up. According to a whistleblower, the CIA has the ability to “discern UFOs while they’re still cloaked” and when “non-human craft land, crash or are brought down to Earth, special military units are sent to try to salvage the…

CATWALK legend Linda Evangelista’s troubled six-year marriage to former modeling bigwig Gérald Marie has so soured her on men, the still stunning 58-year-old insists she’s done with dating and even slipping between the sheets with a guy. “Not interested. I don’t want to sleep with anybody anymore. I don’t want to hear somebody breathing,” she says. The modeling legend revealed her tormented time from 1987 to 1993 with Marie, now 73, in the Apple TV+ documentary The Super Models, saying: “I married him when I was 22, and I got out when I was 27. “And he let me out as long as he got everything. But I was safe, and I got my freedom.” Evangelista charges Marie was clever about hitting her, noting he “knew not to touch my…

TV COP Tom Selleck’s hopping mad—and depressed—after his long-running series Blue Bloods was axed, tattles a source who notes the situation’s turned him into a grumpy old dude! The 78-year-old former sex symbol is battling the blues after CBS bigwigs announced the drama was being canned after 14 seasons. “He’s having a late-in-life crisis,” says the tipster. “The show was running its course, but the finality of it all has made Tom very difficult to live with. He’s cranky and Jillie, his wife of 36 years, gets the brunt of it.” Now, the mustached macho man is driving 65-year-old Jillie “up the wall” with his dark mood, dishes the source, who squeals, “This show is his life, even though he’s griped about commuting from California to New York for filming…

HONKY-TONKS are known for using sawdust to mop up blood from barfights, but country kingpin GARTH BROOKS wants everything at his sleek new Friends in Low Places watering hole to be on the up and up! Gracious Garth, 61, says he frets about performers—especially gals—stumbling to the parking lot in the wee hours in a dicey part of Nashville. “We’ll close at 2 a.m. at the latest, but there’ll be no live music here past midnight because many of those musicians are females,” says the Papa Loved Mama gentleman. “I just want to do things that are hopefully thoughtful!” He notes patrons who don’t toe the line will get the boot. “You want people to feel safe,” he croons. “Like everything else he does, Garth is being handson with his…

RUDE Rudy Wilcox committed a crappy crime in Clearwater by pooping on a dead possum in a Florida intersection—during evening rush hour traffic, lawmen say. According to an arrest affidavit, an officer witnessed the homeless dude “defecating” on the deceased critter “with his pants lowered and his anal region exposed”—in “full view of the motoring public!” Wilcox, 45, denied doing the dirty deed atop the roadkill’s corpse and claimed the cop “doesn’t see straight”—but the document asserts “physical evidence was viewed at the scene which corroborates the allegations.” The affidavit adds the stinker wasn’t under the influence of any intoxicants at the time of the foul incident and was not in possession of weapons. Investigators say Wilcox was charged with exposure of sexual organs for the “indecent” display and booked into…

KING CHARLES has a well-deserved rep as a greedy skinflint and now a bombshell report reveals he’s been ghoulishly ripping off the wealth of people who die without a will—which is supposed to go to charity—and hoarding the loot in a secret slush fund! A scathing new disclosure by government officials reveals the 75-year-old royal slyly funnels cash plundered from the dead to upgrade his private, multibillion-dollar homes and real estate holdings.

A RAVENOUS bear ran-sacked a dead California woman’s home, made a meal of her corpse and disrupted a police investigation into her death! Authorities believe a black bear prowling the remote High Sierras area broke into 71-year-old Patrice Miller’s Downieville home after she died and tore the place apart looking for chow—after being attracted by the scent of her decaying body. “The bear caused damage to the front door, refrigerator and made a large mess inside the house,” says Sierra County Sheriff Mike Fisher, whose deputies made the grim discovery while conducting a welfare check after Patrice seemed to fall off the earth last month. The lawman says the bruin “interfered” with the corpse, which experts say was just another source of protein as the critter tried to fatten up…

MONEYBAGS Mark Cuban has made a new deal on Shark Tank—he’s quitting the hit ABC show where wealthy investors back new businesses created by folks looking for a big break! “Next year, our 16th year, is gonna be my last year,” declares 65-year-old Cuban, who’s appeared on the show for 13 seasons. The billionaire owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks joined original Sharks Daymond John, Barbara Corcoran, Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary as the fifth investor in 2011’s Season 3. “I love Shark Tank because it sends the message the American dream is alive,” says Cuban.…

ANIMAL shelters in California and Arizona are being accused of reducing their populations of small pets like bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice—by having them fed to snakes and other reptiles! According to sources, 318 of the cute critters were shipped from the San Diego Humane Society to Tucson’s Humane Society of Southern Arizona in August so they could be adopted into forever homes. But nearly four months later, about 250 of the animals seem to have vanished into thin air, with no records, and society officials say an investigation has come to the horrifying conclusion—the critters were fed to reptiles frozen or ALIVE! “A Hollywood horror writer couldn’t write something like this,” says Gary Weitzman, CEO of San Diego Humane Society (SDHS). “I desperately wish we hadn’t done this.”…

SCI-FI legend William Shatner is still in demand after 70 years in showbiz, but Star Trek’s randy Captain Kirk prefers to spend his days—and nights—spoiling his ladylove, Elizabeth, and keeping the sparks alive in their rekindled relationship, tipsters say. “He may be 92, but Bill is a diehard romantic whose pilot light never goes out!” spills a source. “Bill’s constantly getting work offers, and he’s happy to be getting them. But he’s using his free time to focus on sexy dates with Elizabeth. He’s all about treating her right these days—and having a grand time in the sheets is a very important part of it!” Shatner had divorced the now retired equestrian, 64, just one year before he became the oldest person ever to blast off into space in 2021.…

NEW DNA research indicates the Loch Ness Monster isn’t a prehistoric creature—it’s actually a giant blob of algae! That’s the latest bombshell finding after genetic tests conducted on water samples suggest Nessie, the famous critter in the Scottish lake, “is a giant algae blob monster,” proclaims cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard. Documentary filmmakers chronicling their hunt for the monster claim they saw, and videotaped, two humps and a third appendage—possibly a head—during an early morning expedition in the loch’s Borlam Bay, where the most famous sighting happened in 1934. Water samples were taken immediately and shipped to a Colorado lab specializing in environmental DNA. Producer Tim Whittard says new technology “may help us to find answers to some of the most puzzling mysteries of the natural world.”…

HARD rock legend Axl Rose has been accused of hog-tying and raping actress Sheila Kennedy in his New York hotel room after meeting her in a club in 1989! Kennedy, 61, says Axl “used his fame, status, and power as a celebrity to manipulate, control and violently sexually assault” her during a cocaine and booze-fueled bender. She charges the Guns N’ Roses frontman, now 61, went glass-shattering berserk before he “dragged her by the hair back to his bedroom, tied up her hands with pantyhose” and raped her. Axl’s attorney says the rocker “has no recollection” of ever meeting Kennedy and insists her story is pure fiction.…

BRAZEN thieves broke into a California pet store and swiped $100,000 worth of French bulldogs—with police hot on the scent! Despite 16 surveillance cameras and a metal gate, the Top Dog Pet Store in Gardena was easy pickings for four masked dognappers who backed a white Chevy van up to the shop’s front door at 1 a.m. on Nov. 21. Video shows the thugs breaking through the door, then going to a back room, wheeling out cages containing the precious pups—including a ten-month-old show dog named Roll X—and then cruelly throwing the unprotected pooches into the van, some by the scruff of their necks. “They literally tossed them into the van like they were stuffed animals,” moans distraught store owner Andres Avalos. “It’s horrible.” One of the crime dogs also…

DISGRACED Prince Andrew has once again dished out big bucks to settle dirty business! The shameless royal outcast paid an undisclosed sum to a Turkish millionaire who claims Andrew, 63, and his family received nearly $1.75 million in stolen money. The loot came from shady Goldman Sachs banker Selman Turk, who stands accused of stealing $50 million from 77-year-old Nebahat Evyap Isbilen after she hired him to help transfer her assets out of Turkey. Isbilen, whose husband is a political prisoner in Turkey, says Turk conned her into paying Andrew nearly $1 million to help her get a British passport. He eventually repaid that money, but the duke, his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, 64, and their daughter Eugenie, 33, later received payments totaling $750,000. Andrew—who previously paid an estimated $16 million to…

COMMON antioxidants found in vitamins and dietary supplements can be bad for your health, experts warn, because they may promote the growth of existing cancers! Researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet discovered excessive doses of vitamins A, C, selenium and zinc can stimulate blood vessels in lung cancer tumors—but believe the effects could be applicable to all types of the disease. The scientists stress natural levels of antioxidants derived from food are safe—but caution supplements packed with the nutrients could fuel malignancies! “We’ve found antioxidants activate a mechanism that causes cancer tumors to form new blood vessels, which is surprising, since it was previously thought that antioxidants have a protective effect,” says Karolinska professor Martin Bergö. “The new blood vessels nourish the tumors and can help them grow and spread.” The…

LATE-NIGHT star Stephen Colbert made funny cracks about being forced to cancel a week of his CBS talk show, but sources say the host narrowly cheated death after he was rushed to a hospital when his appendix exploded! On a Nov. 27 social media post, the 59-year-old talking head explained that night’s show and three others were canceled because he was recovering from emergency surgery for a burst appendix. “I’m grateful to my doctors for their care and to [wife] Evie and the kids for putting up with me,” he writes. “Going forward, all emails to my appendix will be handled by my pancreas.” According to the Mayo Clinic, a burst or ruptured appendix is a potentially life-threatening condition that spreads infection throughout the abdomen. Immediate surgery is required to…
