TRIUMPHANT pop star Britney Spears took a huge leap in her battle for freedom from a court-ordered conservatorship — she got engaged to boytoy lover Sam Asghari! “I can’t f**king believe it!!!!!!” she writes in a social media post including a photo of her flashing her “one of a kind” $75,000 four-carat rock. The 39-year-old Oops! I Did It Again songbird said “yes” to her 27-year-old model beau’s proposal when he popped the question Sept. 12 with a sparkler featuring the word Lioness, Sam’s pet name for the singer, inscribed in the band. The engagement is proof Britney’s calling most of her own shots in life now after being a prisoner to the court-ordered conservatorship — controlled by her dad, Jamie — since 2008 when she mentally went off the rails.…

FOX News ratings king Tucker Carlson admits he’s a big, fat liar! “I mean, I lie if I’m really cornered or something. I lie!” the top-rated ranter blabs. “I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV.” Carlson, 52, whines he doesn’t like to tell whoppers, but sometimes he has no choice! “I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever,” he confesses on a recent YouTube program. The motormouth went on to reveal he’s sandbagged people and finagled pictures to “hurt” folks who don’t command a massive TV audience of millions like he does! “There have been many times in the 25 years I’ve been in TV where I think, you know, are we using, like, this very substantial power that we have to…

EXPLOSIVE, newly released FBI files reveal a high-ranking Saudi Arabian official based in the U.S. was intimately involved in the horrific 9/11 terrorist attack and brazenly “helped two hijackers” — but GLOBE readers already knew that! As GLOBE reported in our Aug. 24 issue, Saudi royals played a key role in financing the 19 hijackers — 15 of whom were from the oil-rich kingdom — and helping them stay under the radar as they plotted the deadliest attack ever to take place on American soil. The FBI’s first declassified 9/11 document — made public in mid-September — drops the bombshell that a man only identified as “PII,” who worked in the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles, helped terrorists Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar get settled in the U.S. as they…

Hunger Games star JENNIFER LAWRENCE, 31, has a bun in the oven! It’ll be the first baby for the actress and her art gallery owner husband, COOKE MARONEY, 37, who tied the knot two years ago.

TWO-fisted archeologist Indiana Jones has beaten goons, Nazis and native head-hunters, but his new flick’s in danger of being knocked out by a tummy-savaging virus. Sources say shooting the series’ fifth installment at England’s Pinewood Studios had to be halted after 50 crew members came down with an agonizing, vomiting bug. “The crew have been dropping like flies. There’s also a lot off with COVID, so it's been a double whammy,” tattles a source. While none of the major actors like Mads Mikkelsen or Antonio Banderas have been clobbered by the tummy-twister, the shutdown follows an earlier closure after 79-year-old star Harrison Ford busted his shoulder doing a stunt and was out three months. Meanwhile, the buzz is Ford’s leading lady Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 36, is to take over as a lady…

GRIZZLED Hollywood veteran Clint Eastwood has hopped back in the saddle — producing, directing and starring in Cry Macho. The drama, slated for release this month in theaters and on HBO Max, features Clint taking on the role of an old rodeo star and marks his first big-screen project since 2018’s The Mule. Here are ten things you don’t know about the 91-year-old movie legend. 1 Born in 1930, he was nicknamed Samson by the nurses at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco because he weighed a whopping 11 pounds, six ounces. 2 He is descended from Mayflower passenger William Bradford. 3 He was asked to leave Piedmont High School for supposedly writing an obscene suggestion to a school official on the athletic field scoreboard. 4 He’s a pianist,…

BUFFY actor Nicholas Brendon stopped promoting his new thriller Wanton Want due to bizarre spinal damage that’s left him barely able to walk and paralyzed his manhood. The condition also makes it difficult for the 50-year-old, who played Xander Harris in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and FBI tech Kevin Lynch in Criminal Minds, to fly so his promotion tour is out, says manager Theresa Fortier. Nicholas was originally injured in a February fall that compacted nerves in his lower back, blocking feeling to the genitals, bladder and bowels. His condition worsened after he was busted for allegedly using a fake ID to buy prescription drugs and spent a night in an Indiana slammer, says the manager, who claims “sleeping on a cement floor with other inmates aggravated his injury,” which…

KICKING these seven habits may keep your mind sharp, say experts. 1. Being a pessimist: Focusing on negative thoughts has been linked to cognitive decline. 2.

SOMEONE forgot to tell gorillas about vaccinations, masks and social distancing because 13 burly primates at Atlanta’s zoo have tested positive for COVID — after being infected by a vaccinated animal keeper! The shocking discovery came after workers noted the great apes were coughing, had runny noses and seemed uninterested in their food. Tests revealed 13 of the zoo’s 20-ape troop came up positive for the deadly virus, including 60-year-old Ozzie, the oldest male gorilla in captivity. As in humans, elderly apes are most at risk of a health catastrophe from the virus — and Ozzie has already lived ten years longer than the average gorilla lifespan. The senior simian citizen has been coughing and suffering from a drippy nose. “We don’t feel that we’re out of the woods,” says…

SCRAWNY Bruce Springsteen sounded nothing like his glory days during a raspy performance at NYC’s 9/11 memorial last month — leaving friends and physicians fearing for the health of the rail-thin rocker, sources spill. The once-buff Boss, 72, appeared shockingly skinny as he delivered an emotional rendition of his song I’ll See You in My Dreams at the World Trade Center memorial plaza on the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks. “God bless our fallen brothers and sisters, and their families, their friends and their loved ones,” somber Springsteen mumbled before launching into the haunting tune. But spywitnesses squeal the Born in the U.S.A. hitmaker himself appeared ghostly and gaunt! “Bruce looked like death warmed over, a wraith and a shadow of his former self,” dishes a pal. “I have…

CAUTIOUS Kaley Cuoco is making sure her surprise split from second husband Karl Cook doesn’t empty her pockets — she’s using the couple’s “ironclad” prenuptial agreement to ask the court to deny spousal support and keep Karl’s hands out of the cookie jar! After Kaley’s 2016 divorce from her first husband — former tennis pro Ryan Sweeting, now 34 — she was ordered to pay him a bundle, including a lump sum of $165,000, over $50,000 in lawyer’s fees, and nearly $200,000 for his personal trainers! This time around, after just over three years of marriage to equestrian and billionaire heir Karl, the 35-year-old Big Bang Theory beauty has an “ironclad prenup in place” to protect her considerable assets — guesstimated at $100 million, sources say.…

WOBBLY Wendy Williams took an 11-day “break” from plugging her talk show to deal with “ongoing health issues,” triggering fears the TV diva is teetering on the edge of yet another emotional and physical crisis. While the 57-year-old chatterbox hoped to be ready for the show’s Sept. 20 season premiere, sources snitch the troubled yakker needs more time to get herself right. “She hasn’t been taking care of herself and it shows,” spills an insider. “She’s been doing crazy things like starving herself to get thin and staying up late scrolling through social media and sending rambling texts to people that make no sense. “Wendy’s letting herself get wound up over things she has no control over in her personal and professional life. It seems like she’s still obsessed with…

LINKS legend Tiger Woods hopes to play golf again following a February car crash in California that left him crippled and struggling to walk! Fellow PGA pro Steve Stricker, captain of the USA Ryder Cup team, says Tiger, 45, is clawing his way back to the sport through rehab, adding, “He is progressing. He’s doing well.” But in July sources told GLOBE, the tee-shot terror’s recovery from a shattered right leg and other injuries caused when he drove off a cliff has been “agonizing and slow-going!”…

CLAIMING voices on his car radio told him to do it, deranged Tyson Gilbert cut off his penis and tossed it out the window during a high-speed chase with cops, according to police. When Alexandria, Tenn., lawmen finally corralled the 39-year-old before he could jump on Interstate 40, Gilbert was naked and covered in blood. Cops say he claimed a voice on his car radio told him to mutilate himself to save the world. Gilbert, who has a long rap sheet, was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment. His penis was not found. A former co-worker described the Cookeville kook — who was held on outstanding warrants — as big trouble. “I worked with this man and he is not a good person,” says a Facebook post. “He…

TRAGIC comic Norm MacDonald had a secret reason for keeping his battle with the deadly cancer that killed him hidden for nine long years. The 61-year-old Canadian finally succumbed to the disease on Sept. 14 after keeping the truth about his condition private for nearly a decade. “He was most proud of his comedy,” says pal and coproducer Lori Jo Hoekstra. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him.” Adds an insider: “Norm was a stand-up guy on stage and in private, and it’s not a surprise that he kept the cancer secret so long. He didn’t want anyone’s pity.” Norm, who has a son, Dylan, 28, with ex-wife Connie, started off writing for Roseanne Barr’s show before landing…

JENNIFER LOPEZ got a huge snub from way-younger singer Billie Eilish — and a slew of fans were all for it. Bad blood bubbled as the 52-year-old singer-actress took the stage for a presentation and the 19-year-old Happier Than Ever singer basically ignored her at MTV’s Video Music Awards on Sept. 12. “Cameras caught the moment with Eilish seeming to look anything but impressed as Lopez took the stage,” says a source. “She doesn’t appear to offer any clap — choosing instead to twiddle her fingers — as her face remains expressionless and even borders on a frown.” And oodles of posters agreed with Billie, who won the Good Award for her tune Your Power. Writes one: “Here it is!! Best moment of the night for sure. Glad I’m not…

VIRGINIA ROBERTS’ vengeful father, Sky, is demanding Prince Andrew be tossed in the slammer for sexually assaulting his daughter when she was a teenager and thumbing his nose at the criminal justice system on both sides of the Atlantic! “I would like to see him go to prison for at least a little while. He needs to know what it’s like to be held accountable for his actions,” says Sky, who at age 65 is only four years older than the playboy prince accused of preying on Virginia. The fed-up Florida rancher blasted Queen Elizabeth’s arrogant son, noting Scottish hero William Wallace, played by Mel Gibson in the movie Braveheart, fought back against entitled royal rogues. “This is not the times of William Wallace, when royals can just do whatever…

KRISTEN STEWART canoodled with a sexy vampire in Twilight, but portraying PRINCESS DIANA in Spencer had its own spirited surprises! “I felt some spooky, spiritual feelings making this movie,” admits the 31-year-old star. “I felt like there were moments where I kind of got the sign-off. It’s scary to tell a story about someone who’s not alive anymore and who already felt so invaded. I never wanted to feel like we were invading anything, just that we were kind of adding to the multiplicity of a beautiful thing.” So who, or what, came creeping? Was it Diana, who died in that tragic 1997 car crash? Or the ghost of ANNE BOLEYN, the beheaded second wife of HENRY VIII, who communes with Diana in the film? Kristen’s buddy SURE sounds like…

DISGRACED model Chrissy Teigen confesses she’s had fat removed from her gorgeous puss. Singer John Legend’s 35-year-old wife, who was recently outed as a cruel internet bully, says she went under the knife for the “buccal fat removal thing” that hollows out cheeks and was popularized by Dr. Jason Diamond, star of E!’s Dr. 90210 and Netflix’s Celebrity Plastic Surgeons. “Yeah, I did it. What?” she says. But that’s not the only fix the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model has had. Early on she had implants to balloon her boobs, but has since had them removed. In 2017, she “had an armpit sucked out, which was one of the best things. It’s a big secret, but I don’t care. “It made me feel better in dresses; I felt more confident. It was the…

IN A stunning new change to Wheel of Fortune, legendary host Pat Sajak is losing control of the wheel! As the TV contest enters its 39th season, the aging 74-year-old game show veteran will no longer do the final spin to determine the value of the consonants.

DOG lover Barbra Streisand and hubby James Brolin are barking at each other over her dream of cloning more copies of her beloved pooch, Samantha, insiders howl. The diva, 79, already owns three curly-haired Coton de Tulears — Violet and Scarlet, cloned from Samantha’s cells — and lookalike Fanny from Samantha’s breeder. “Barbra misses Sammie every day! Thankfully she has ‘twins’ Violet and Scarlet and their cousin Fanny to cuddle,” spills an insider. “But she knows they won’t be around forever. “She wants to continue the cloning process to keep Samantha’s line going, but James thinks they have enough dogs.” As GLOBE has reported, the fluffballs have the run of the house and furniture and that gets the 81-year-old Hotel alum’s dander up! “The dogs sleep in their bed, have…

AMERICAN Pie singer Don McLean is saying “bye bye” to his daughter — he just sliced her out of a $3 million inheritance because she’s “totally ungrateful” and doesn’t like him enough! Don decided to dump daughter Jackie, he says, because the 31-year-old has opened her piehole in public about what a difficult dad he was! Singer/songwriter Jackie claims the Crying crooner “has always used the promise of money to control me” and described an emotionally and mentally abusive upbringing with “a constant state of fear in the house about the slightest thing that would make my dad turn into a crazy person.” But Don, 75, says it’s HER fault the levee is dry! “I stopped supporting my daughter last year,” he confirms. “I have a son, you know, who…

KELLY RIPA was really embarrassed when she gave her actor-hubby Mark Consuelos what-for during an argument — only to realize it was his dead ringer son Michael, sources claim! The older 24-year-old Michael gets, the more he’s the mirror image of his 50-year-old dad, says a source. “One morning Kelly and Mark got into a heated argument while she was making breakfast,” says the source. “He got mad and walked out of the room, only to return a few minutes later — or so she thought.” The 51-year-old TV chatterbox turned her back and “let him know she wasn’t done talking,” says the source. “When she turned, she found it was Michael.” The bigwigs at TV’s Riverdale also think father and son are dead ringers. They cast Michael as the…
