SULTRY Jane Seymour has struck out at marriage four times and keeps dashing beau David Green’s dream of walking down the aisle, which spells big trouble for the eight-year romance, insiders tell GLOBE! While the 74-year-old British producer “has been incredibly patient” with the Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman vixen, “their friends can see the situation is getting tiresome,” spills a spy. “When Jane needs a date, she knows she can call on David. They spend a lot of time doing fun things together like going to museums and having dinner together. “But they don’t agree on one very important point — marriage.” These days Jane, who’s starring in Lifetime’s TV movie A Christmas Spark, enjoys being “her own boss and loves being in control,” dishes the insider. “They don’t even…

BITTER Kelly Clarkson is counting down the days until former husband Brandon Blackstock stops living high on the hog on her hard-earned bacon, tipsters squeal. Right now the talk show chatterbox, 40, is forking over $115,000 a month in spousal support to her 46-year-old ex — and under their March divorce settlement the payments last until January 2024. An insider snitches the Miss Independent hitmaker “can’t wait” to see how Blackstock fares without her moolah — even though the deal sticks in her craw. “Brandon made a ton of money off Kelly’s sweat when he was her manager and now she thinks he’s nothing but a freeloader,” dishes the insider. But even when Blackstock’s support payments end, he'll still be digging deep into her pockets! The ruffled songbird was ordered…

It’s her first marriage and his second. Gabby says they’ll have a traditional ceremony sometime in the future to please her mother-in-law, but she “doesn’t like weddings because her mom was a wedding singer when she was growing up.”…

SOCIAL-CLIMBING Jada Pinkett Smith is dumping her disgraced hubby, Will Smith, following the flop of his redemption tour, according to sources who say a battle is looming over his $350 million fortune! Smith, 54, finally returned to the public eye after notoriously slapping Oscar presenter Chris Rock’s face at last February’s awards and getting booted from the Motion Picture Academy. He hit the red carpet Nov. 30 to promote his new slavery-era flick, Emancipation, with Jada, 51, and kids Willow, 22, and Jaden, 24, in tow. But a source says the screening was mostly shunned by Tinseltown’s A-listers. Adding injury to insult, critics trashed the film as “a hollow piece of genre filmmaking” and “a disservice to history.” Meanwhile, Will tried to suck up to fans saying he “absolutely respects”…

JEALOUS Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak has been bitterly dissing his old pal and sidekick Vanna White because he believes the lovely letter-turner has been tagged to take over his job as bigwigs try to drive him into retirement, spies tattle. Embattled Sajak, 76, has even been “belittling and badgering Vanna on air” because “he’s not happy about where things stand between him and the bosses,” squeals a spy. “His usual teasing of Vanna has taken a more sinister turn. He seems to be on this jealous campaign against her, to torment her, wear her down and maybe even make her quit so he can be a top dog again.” Pat made Vanna, 65, visibly squirm with unflattering comments about her sequined dress at the end of one Wheel…
