Intelligence experts say 28-year-old Farook’s wife, Tashfeen Malik, had deadly motives when she first met him in Saudi Arabia two years ago during a religious pilgrimage. “His wife was the catalyst for their evil acts,” former U.S. Customs agent-turned legal analyst John A. Carman tells GLOBE. Malik, 27, whose homeland is a hotbed of Al Qaeda and Taliban terror activity, entered the U.S. on a K-1 “fiancée” visa before marrying Farook — and became an undeportable U.S. citizen after they wed. “The K-1 is nicknamed the…

Although the New York Giants’ Hall of Famer lived another 55 years, a medical expert suggests the vicious tackle by Philadelphia Eagle Chuck “Concrete Charlie” Bednarik may be the real cause of Gifford’s mysterious death last August. Says top New York City internal medicine specialist Dr. Stuart Fischer, who did not treat the superjock, “that hit could have a direct linear connection to Frank Gifford’s death. And he had repetitive injuries both before and after this horrible incident which would only make it worse.” Even at the time Gifford was lucky to survive the devastating Nov. 20, 1960 knockout at Yankee Stadium. After Frank…

BACHELOR Prince Harry has flipped for his sexy cousin, Lady Kitty Spencer, but his sisterin-law, Kate, is doing everything she can to derail the “ill-advised” romance, sources tell GLOBE. “Harry is nuts about Kitty,” says a royal insider. “He says she’s his idea of perfection. His eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw photos of her in a figure-flaunting bikini.” The 24-year-old beauty — who’s the daughter of Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer — showcased her dangerous curves while vacationing in Australia.

The changing point in her life came during a night out to dinner with her family when — at 410 pounds — she couldn’t fit into her chair. After spending the night crying her eyes out, she realized she had to take drastic action. Jennifer, now 51, thought joining Weight Watchers was the answer. The only problem was that it went against the teachings of her faith. “Participating as a member to an organization in outside groups is not permitted,” she explains. “I actually drove to a Weight Watchers meeting that was…
