It’s the first time it’s been seen in public since the Princess’ death in 1997. “But more importantly, it sends the clear message that Her Majesty has reversed her decision to have Charles and Camilla inherit the Throne.” According to well-placed Palace sources, the Queen, 89, is enraged 68-year-old Camilla’s drinking is…

BLOATED, gasping for air and crushing the scales at 300 pounds, beloved “Cheers” star George Wendt has spywitnesses stunned by his deteriorating condition! The 5-foot-8 actor, who played beer-swilling Norm Peterson on the iconic sitcom set in a Boston bar, was sadly battling for air — WHILE IN A WHEELCHAIR — and being pushed between gates at L.A.’s airport on Dec. 3. “He was clearly in distress and too weak to get around on his own,” says an eyewitness. “He looked pale and flfleshy, his legs exposed in a pair of shorts and the loose skin jiggling from side to side. “Even though he was being wheeled about, he was still breathing heavily — at times gasping for air.” The roly-poly 67-year-old star, married to Bernadette Birkett, 69, the mother…

FORMER child actor John Cassisi morphed from a baby-faced star to a Scarface-like shakedown artist — and the career change has landed him in prison! Cassisi played gangland boss Fat Sam in the 1976 kid-actors-only flick “Bugsy Malone,” starring Scott Baio and Jodie Foster. He also had a recurring role on “Fish” and “Barney Miller.” But he traded life on the set for the often mob-friendly world of construction — where shady contracts are sometimes awarded in return for “kickback” bribes. The Brooklyn-bred native rose to a high-powered position at Citibank. As director of global construction for Citi Realty Services, he oversaw the division’s construction projects and was responsible for awarding lucrative contracts. Using his influential position, Cassisi, 52, took in more than $500,000 in payoffs from companies trying to…

NEARLY 30 years after his tragic death, beloved Hollywood star Michael Landon is being cheated out of billions in shipwreck treasure, charge insiders. The Colombian government claims its navy has finally located the wreck of the San Jose, a Spanish galleon sunk in a battle with the British off the coast of Cartagena in 1708. But Michael and a group of U.S. investors had already found the lost ship in 1982 — and were banned from excavating the site! “They made it very clear to us, in writing, that if we tried to go back, they would meet us with military force,” says Ken Harbeston, now 83, of Sea Search Armada, which was financed by Michael. The group’s been fighting for their rights in court for decades. “The San Jose…

WHAT’S with all the commotion at Kirk Douglas’ place? The driveway to the fabulous Tinseltown mansion thronged with guests and deliverymen on Dec. 9. It was his 99th birthday and flowers, food, drinks and party favors arrived along with some of Hollywood’s most famous faces. The most recognizable belonged to Kirk’s own kin. Screen siren Catherine Zeta-Jones came twice to shower her hardy father-in-law with love and affection. She showed up early that day and later turned up with movie-star hubby Michael, Kirk’s dead-ringer son. But living 99 years is no big deal to Kirk. The man who played the rugged gladiator Spartacus on the big screen — and battled back from a devastating stroke in 1996 — now vows to live to 100!  …

CHASED BY A LOVE-SICK FAN One flamboyant guest “was this Jayne Mansfield-Eastern European type with a blonde wig and heavy makeup,” Jerry recalls. “This was about 15 years ago. She’d been on the show previously. This time, we had a potential suitor for her — a bright guy who could have been right out of ‘The Big Bang Theory.’ As it turns out, she wasn’t interested in him but confessed she had a crush on me! “The producers had a great time,” Jerry laughs. “And while there was a lot of running and chasing up and down the aisles, she never got a hold of me!” JERRY SPRINGER, the 71-year-old former mayor of Cincinnati and infamous tawdry talk show host, is celebrating 25 years on TV!

BINDI IRWIN hid a heartbreaking secret when she won “Dancing With the Stars” last month — she’s embroiled in a bitter feud that’s ripped her family apart! The 17-year-old daughter of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin hasn’t spoken to her grandfather, Bob Irwin, for years, a source tells GLOBE. And there’s no chance of a reconciliation any time soon! “It’s a sad situation that’s torn apart a family already shattered by tragedy,” the source confides. “Steve must be rolling over in his grave.” The ugly war erupted after Steve was killed when a stringray barb pierced his heart in September 2006. His widow, Terri, and dad, Bob, clashed over how to continue to run the family business, the Australia Zoo, which Bob founded over 40 years ago. Insiders say…

A CONNECTICUT mom and her innocent daughters didn’t have to die — bungling cops cost them their lives! That’s the shocking conclusion of experts who examined new evidence in the horrific murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her girls Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. Recently uncovered tapes show Cheshire, Conn., police had the opportunity to stop at least one of the family’s killers on the morning of July 23, 2007, but incredibly they let the monster go. And later, lawmen instructed the police department’s negotiator NOT to go to the home where the gals were being held hostage prior to the vicious slayings! Jennifer, Hayley and Michaela were killed by petty criminals Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes — who followed the 48-year-old mother home from a supermarket on July 22. The…

IN AN ASTONISHING confession, Ron Howard, who starred as wholesome 1950s teen Richie Cunningham on “Happy Days,” admits he joined the sitcom to get out of serving his country in the Vietnam War! The once-adorable redheaded child star — and director of big-screen hits “A Beautiful Mind” and “Apollo 13” — admits using his star power as a “draft dodge”! Ron, 61, who first became a household name playing little Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show,” was studying at the University of Southern California when he was suddenly at risk of being shipped overseas, where other kids were dying. Ron reveals he bolted film school when the “Happy Days” offer arrived — hoping his star power would get him out of harm’s way. The draft lottery was in full…

JENNIFER Aniston is being accused of heartlessly betraying Courteney Cox during her best pal’s time of greatest need! The 46-year-old “Cake” beauty and her hubby, Justin Theroux, incensed Courteney by siding with rocker Johnny McDaid after he dumped the “Cougar Town” actress, sources say. And in a stunning double whammy, Jennifer and Justin, 44, told Courteney she only has herself to blame for the breakup by attempting to turn the 39-year-old hunk into a Hollywood trophy husband, say insiders. An insider reveals, “Courteney is beside herself and can’t believe Jen would betray her in such a humiliating fashion. But when Courteney called Jen she got the shock of her life instead of a shoulder to cry on. Things got pretty heated between the two women, and some pretty harsh things…

THE 200,000-plus women in prisons across the U.S. live in a different world from the rest of us — a world that’s developed its own language completely foreign to law-abiding citizens. Millions of viewers have been given a taste of jailhouse slang on Netflix’s Emmy-winning hit about surviving life in the slammer, “Orange Is the New Black,” starring Taylor Schilling and Laura Prepon, who play Piper Chapman and Alex Vause. Here’s the 411 on the ladies’ lockup lingo — essential for getting by behind bars: AG: Short for aggressor, AG refers to the butchest-looking lesbians, while Femmes is reserved for the prettier ones. BID: If someone’s said to be on her third bid, it means she’s been returned to the system on a new charge as opposed to a mere…
