VALERIE BERTINELLI’s hopes for a friendly, stress-free divorce crashed after her ex Tom Vitale challenged their prenup and demanded spousal support, spies dish. Although the pair officially separated in 2019 after eight years of marriage, Valerie, 62, didn’t file divorce papers until May. Now, sources say financial planner Vitale, 58, is playing hardball and making a grab for a hunk of her $20 million fortune, leaving pals fearing the Food Network cooking star and former One Day at a Time sitcom cutie will be dragged through an agonizing ordeal. “Valerie just wants to make it clean and uncomplicated, and Tom seems to have other ideas,” spills an insider. “Friends are saying this is the last thing she needs. This divorce could get ugly very fast.” As GLOBE reported, insiders dish the…

TOM CRUISE is two times unlucky — he’s gotten the heave-ho for the SECOND time from girlfriend Hayley Atwell, sources dish. Pint-sized Tom, 59, was giving it another go with his Mission: Impossible 7 co-star, 40, after the two ended their first love match in September 2021. But sources say the romantic reboot was truly mission: impossible because of the pressure of being in the media spotlight! “What was working behind closed doors didn’t work out so well when it was made public, and the fanfare around them as a couple exploded again,” says a source. “Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked out. They have now decided they are better as friends.” This second breakup comes just weeks after British actress Hayley walked the red carpet with Tom at May’s London premiere…

FORMER ladies man John Mellencamp has a long list of gorgeous girlfriends, but the Jack & Diane singer’s desperate for love after his recent romances went belly up, sources say. The 70-year-old Small Town rocker’s last love was realtor Natasha Barrett, 47, but their May 2021 romance crashed after just four months — and now the three-times-divorced father of five is having a tough time landing a date, spies say. “A few months ago, John didn’t seem worried,” blabs an insider. “He was taking it all in his stride, but the failures are piling up. “Natasha, his ex Nurse Jamie and on-again, offagain old flame Meg Ryan as well as the women he’s tried to court won’t touch him with a ten-foot pole!” Ironically, his career is going great guns. “His…

BRITNEY Spears banned her parents, sister and teenage sons from her celebrity-studded wedding, reigniting an ugly family feud, sources tell GLOBE! Scandal-scarred dad Jamie, 69, and mom Lynne Spears, 67, and their younger daughter, Jamie Lynn, 31, were noticeably absent from the June 9 nuptials at Britney’s palatial L.A. home. But the aging pop princess had a ball — dancing in a diamond-encrusted thong — after she tied the knot with muscleman Sam Asghari, 28. However, sources fear Britney stirred up a hornet’s nest by leaving most of her relatives off the guest list, which included Madonna, Drew Barrymore, Selena Gomez and other Tinseltown A-listers. Big brother Bryan Spears, 45, was the only exception to her no-family policy, say sources who note the 40-year-old Toxic singer’s sons, Sean Preston, 16,…

BRITNEY Spears’ ex-husband Jason Alexander was collared for trespassing, vandalism and battery after busting into her mansion in a try to crash her wedding to toyboy Sam Asghari. Alexander, 40, who was wed to the songbird for just 55 hours before the annulment of their 2004 Las Vegas knot-tie, livestreamed breaking into her Thousand Oaks home before she and Sam said “I do” in the backyard. Alexander, the first of the Piece of Me singer’s three hubbies, who include baby daddy Kevin Federline, was cuffed and dragged off to the slammer, where his bond was set at $2,500.…
