COMIC and game show host Drew Carey says he’s lost and regained about 1,000 pounds over his lifetime, but finally dropped 80 pounds for keeps after a doctor warned him, “ ‘If you don’t do some thing, your life’s going to be shorter, and you’ll have these bad things to look forward to.’ ” The 65-year-old says his secret to bidding a final farewell to fat was cutting carbs and a 45-minute cardio workout. He credits his healthier lifestyle, which began in 2010, with eliminating his type 2 diabetes.…

SHIFTY Shaggy has finally admitted his trademark Jamaican accent is something he invented for his singing career — his real voice sounds nothing like it! Fans were stunned to hear what the Jamaican-born reggae rapper — originally named Orville Richard Burrell — really sounds like in a TikTok interview. “I got this voice by mocking drill instructors in the military,” reveals the Boombastic musicmaker, who enlisted in the Marines in 1988 and used his fake new voice when he recorded his first album. “It sounded cool!” The 55-year-old singer moved from the Caribbean to New York City with his mom when he turned 18. “So we all just hearing Shaggy real voice for the first time,” posted a confused fan.…

WOMANIZER Ryan O’Neal bullied and abused galpals during his life and he’s still doing it in death — the Love Story louse is buried next to former flame Farrah Fawcett and had his name etched on her gravestone — against her last wishes! The glitzy couple carried on a stormy 30-year relationship — and Farrah cut the cad out of her life for nearly a decade until she was dying. That’s when cheater Ryan regained control and manipulated his baby mama until she passed at age 62 from anal cancer in 2009. Farrah’s pals say the Charlie’s Angels beauty wanted to be cremated, but Ryan, notorious for plying three of his four kids — Tatum, now 60, Griffin, 59, and Redmond, 39, with drugs and physically abusing them — had…

JAUNTY Jenny DuVander now holds the world record for the longest tongue — the Portland, Ore., gal’s licker stretches an astounding 5.21 inches.

EVEN the millions of Saved by the Bell fans who were crushing on teen heartthrob Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played Zack Morris on the ’90s hit, would probably not recognize him today. Instead of a blond babe, he’s now a bearded brunette! And in a shocking coiffure confession, the hirsute hottie, 50, reveals he was never a natural blond! “It was color by Clairol. I had the Vanilla Ice thing, ’cause Vanilla Ice was big in 1990.”…

SHAKESPEARE’S iconic play Hamlet forecasts doom for the royal family with the line “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark,” and now insiders say Princess Kate’s doctored-photo scandal is a sign England’s monarchy stinks and is brazenly lying to the people! The brouhaha exploded after Kate, 42, who’d had hush-hush abdominal surgery in mid-January, released a British Mother’s Day photo showing her and her three runts looking great. But the future queen later confessed the happy snap was “edited.” Now, experts are saying Kate’s mysterious hospitalization and attempt to quash online rumors she’s gravely ill by releasing a fake photo showing her looking great are proof the monarchy is shaky. Rosa Prince, deputy editor of Politico UK, describes the scandal as “symptomatic” that the palace is “struggling.” British PR…

GARGANTUAN grappler turned actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is returning to his roots by fighting in this month’s WrestleMania 40. More than 20 years ago, the muscleman, 51, threw his hat into the Hollywood ring — and he came out a winner, with his films grossing over $10.5 billion worldwide. His many hits include Disney’s Moana and the Jumanji and Fast & Furious franchises. Film fans loved to smell what The Rock was cooking — until the stinkers Jungle Cruise and Black Adam! Here are ten things you don’t know about the WWE legend. 1 He earned an athletic scholarship to play football at the University of Miami, where he was a teammate of future NFLers Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis. 2 The former juvenile delinquent — who was arrested…

DAYTIME soap hellion Haley Pullos was drunk, high and driving on the wrong side of the freeway when she got into a horrific crash, according to cops — yet she bizarrely claims the man whose vehicle she rammed and destroyed was to blame! The 25-year-old blonde, who has played Molly Lansing on General Hospital since 2009, reportedly drove the wrong way up an exit ramp and crashed into a car driven by Courtney Wilder, 23. In his civil suit, Wilder claims the beauty was high and loaded, and sources say marijuana edibles and tequila bottles were found in her vehicle. Yet amazingly, she now has filed papers accusing him of being “negligent” and is asking for his lawsuit to be dismissed. In the April 29, 2023, crash, the wrecks were…

MONSTER mom Casey Anthony wants back in the spotlight, this time starring in her own TV series! However, she’s not pitching a true crime show. The Florida vixen is peddling a reality show offering “an intimate look into her world.” In 2011, the hard-partying mom was acquitted of murdering her toddler daughter, Caylee. The show is being shopped around to TV networks, but Anthony, now 38, is not America’s Most Wanted when it comes to headlining a show. “I think that’s a losing bet,” a network exec says. “It would get a large audience initially, but what’s really that interesting about her life? Plus the backlash would be huge. Not worth it.” The source adds, “I hope someone else has the balls to buy it. Because I definitely want to…

THE ties between Michael Jackson’s family members are being ripped to shreds by a vicious $600 million feud over the last pieces of the King of Pop’s music catalog! On one side are Jacko’s 93-year-old mother, Katherine, daughter, Paris, and youngest son, Bigi, who want to retain the rights to all of Michael’s hitmaking music. They are pitted against his oldest child, Prince, and the executors of the Jackson estate, who are trying to ramrod through a deal to sell half of the rights to Sony Music. Katherine and Paris claim the sale would go against Michael’s wishes and wipe out the family safety net, but Prince insists it’s simply good business. And sources tell GLOBE they’re at each other’s throats in a legal free-for-all! “Ever since Michael died from…

THE red-hot love-in between Kylie Jenner and actor Timothée Chalamet has cooled, with insiders tattling the Dune heartthrob is turned off by the reality TV babe’s obsession with plastic surgery! Conveniently, scifi sensation Timothée has been “super busy with work, so he has a good excuse not to see Kylie as much,” a source spills. “A lot of people in his circle are telling him he’d be smart to back away for good — and it seems like he’s leaning in that direction.” Whispers flew that the romance was in trouble when Kylie went solo to an Oscars bash, even though she’d attended the Golden Globes in January on the actor’s arm. But sources say Kylie isn’t home crying and has been going out for good times without Timothée, who…

SCREEN goddess Sharon Stone has finally named names in her casting couch outrage — revealing hotshot producer Robert Evans pressured her to sleep with actor Billy Baldwin, her leading man in the thriller Sliver. The 66-year-old beauty had mentioned the incident — without revealing identities — in her 2021 memoir, but now is spilling the beans on who was who. After rocketing to stardom with the 1992 blockbuster Basic Instinct, co-starring Michael Douglas, producer Evans, who made hits China-town and The Cotton Club, “expected me to bring home another giant smash hit” with 1993’s Sliver, the stunning blonde says. Sharon claims she was originally given “casting approval,” but Evans, who died in 2019, took away her authority and picked Alec Baldwin’s brother Billy, now 61, to play her lover. Later,…

INSTEAD of nasty remarks and cutting complaints, former James Bond hunk Pierce Brosnan used loving support to help his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, drop a whopping 80 pounds. At 5-foot-8, Brosnan’s former TV host wife of 23 years once crushed the scales at 235 pounds, “but now, with the movie spy’s love and support, she’s reached 155 and she loves her new look,” says a source. The 60-year-old mom of two sons peeled off the final 25 pounds this past year and she’s crediting her hubby, 70, for his loving and positive attitude. “Pierce has never complained about his wife’s weight, nor has he pushed her to work out more or eat less,” dishes the source. “Instead, he’s kept on reassuring her of his love and telling her how beautiful…

HARRISON’S DOCS PLAYED HIS SONG Getting a colonoscopy is beyond being dull, but movie hero HARRISON FORD says his cancer exam was spiced up by his Indiana Jones theme song! The 81-year-old action star insists the tune, composed by JOHN WILLIAMS, was playing on the operating room speakers during his probing procedure. “As I often remind John, his music follows me everywhere I go — literally,” chuckles Ford. Williams also scored other massive movie blockbusters like Jaws, Star Wars and Jurassic Park. Harrison’s lucky they didn’t play Jaws during his sharknado! BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO Real Housewives of Beverly Hills babe KYLE RICHARDS, 55, wanted to split from hubby MAURICIO UMANSKY, 53, for three years before finally separating following nearly 30 years of togetherness, reveals her talky sister…

HAPLESS Hannah Gutierrez-Reed — the armorer for Alec Baldwin’s ill-fated Western Rust — was hauled off to the hoosegow after being convicted in the shooting death of the film’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins! The 26-year-old faces up to 18 months behind bars for involuntary manslaughter after a jury ruled she was negligent in 2021 for allowing a live bullet to be placed in the prop gun used by the star on the movie’s New Mexico set! Now, the sensational courtroom showdown — and its damning verdict — have set the stage for Baldwin’s July trial on the same charges. Baldwin, 65, was practicing drawing the vintage pistol from his holster when it fired a real round, which fatally struck Hutchins, 42. Jason Bowles, lawyer for Gutierrez-Reed, charges the Hollywood hotshot — a…

HOPE is rising from the atomic ashes of Chernobyl — where scientists have unearthed an awesome new superspecies of worm that is immune to radiation and may one day help us understand how to repair human DNA! Researchers wore special protective gear to dig up the squirmy things, which appeared quite healthy — despite living for decades in a toxic wasteland where radiation levels are off the charts ever since the 1986 nuclear disaster. The worms “live quickly, so they go through dozens of generations of evolution while a typical vertebrate is still putting on its shoes,” says the study’s senior author, Matthew Rockman, a professor of biology at NYU. This comes on the heels of ANOTHER discovery near Chernobyl — mutant wolves with Marvel Universe–type superpowers that protect them…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE PAROLE boards often face tough decisions about letting people out of prison, but it shouldn’t be a close call if Yolanda Saldívar who murdered singer Selena in 1995 — tries for freedom when her case comes up next March. Yolanda, now 63, keeps insisting the shooting was an accident and believes she’s been punished enough after nearly 30 years in the can. “She feels like she’s a political prisoner at this point,” says a relative. “She believes she has more than served her time.” Baloney! If anyone deserves the maximum term — life behind bars — it’s Yolanda. This was a heinous crime — the savage killing of the 23-year-old singer, who was played by Jennifer Lopez in a 1997 movie. Yolanda got caught robbing the…

THE Easter Bunny has nothing on the best bunny of them all — Thumper the pink-nosed rabbit from the 1942 animated Disney classic Bambi! Thumper befriends the orphaned fawn Bambi and the wise wabbit teaches the “kinda wobbly” forest creature how to ice skate and talk. The character was voiced by an actual four-year-old, instead of an adult using a cartoon voice, and probably saved Bambi’s hide by providing welcome cuddliness in an otherwise dark story. Animator Marc Davis studied zoo animals but eventually gave the cute cottontail some features of a human baby.…
