MICHAEL Jackson’s chimpanzee pal Bubbles is now huge, ugly and unrecognizable as he endures his sad last days in anonymity — without the trappings of his former life as a superstar’s sidekick.

BACK-STABBING tyrant Vladimir Putin ordered the deadly revenge carbombing of Ukrainian invasion mastermind Alexander Dugin — who barely survived as his beloved daughter was blown to bits, intelligence sources say! The horrific attack — which Putin’s blaming on the Ukrainians — is typical of the devious dictator, who’s notorious for snuffing out allies he feels have betrayed or failed him, spies report.

Experts insist the 60-year-old Kremlin crony angered Putin when he slammed the kingpin for not destroying Ukraine by massacring millions. Putin sent him a harsh message in response. “As usual, Putin is blaming the…

WHACKED-OUT Wendy Williams is leaving behind a lousy legacy — staffers on her now-canceled gabfest are squealing the motormouth stashed bottles of liquor around the set!
