THE old Sopranos gang is devastated by the July 8 death at 79 of tough-guy actor Tony Sirico, who played mobster Paulie Walnuts on the HBO crime drama. “Tony was like no one else: He was as tough, as loyal and as big-hearted as anyone I’ve ever known,” co-star Michael Imperioli posted on Instagram. Like his character, Sirico often skirted the law, racking up over two dozen arrests — including 20 months behind bars at Sing Sing for felony weapons possession.…

CLUELESS Cameron Diaz claims she was conned into smuggling a drug-packed suitcase from Paris to Morocco in the ’90s — weeks before snagging her breakout role in The Mask! The Charlie’s Angels beauty, 49, says devilish dope dealers took advantage of her when she was an aspiring model in the City of Light. “I was there a full year and didn’t work one day. I couldn’t book a job to save my life. Then I got one job but, really, I think I was a mule carrying drugs to Morocco — I swear to God,” she confides. “They gave me a locked suitcase that had my ‘costumes’ in it.” Cameron, who recently came out of retirement to appear in Back in Action with Jamie Foxx, insists she had no idea…

MOVIE billion-dollar man Tom Cruise is being slammed by bitter Mickey Rourke as “irrelevant” because the screen superstar doesn’t stretch his acting chops. In a shocking avalanche of envy, Rourke, 69, unloaded on Cruise, 60, whose Top Gun: Maverick has grossed $1.8 billion and is the biggest movie of the year, saying: “The guy’s been doing the same effing part for 35 years … I got no respect for that.” Cruise’s flicks from early hits Days of Thunder and A Few Good Men to the recent Mission: Impossible series have made a fortune, but Rourke says: “That doesn’t mean s**t to me … I don’t care about money or power … when I watch Al Pacino or Christopher Walken working, or De Niro’s early work … that’s the kind of…

RECOVERING rock wildman Ozzy Osbourne is saying toodle-pip to Tinseltown — taking his disgraced talk-show wife, Sharon, and splitting for their native England. Their 1929 Spanish Colonial home in L.A.’s snooty Hancock Park enclave is on the block for a whopping $18 million — $6 million more than they paid for the ornate six-bedroom, 11-bathroom shack in 2015. “Ozzy and Sharon are getting out of Dodge,” says a source. “They’ve lived in L.A. for more than 20 years but it doesn’t feel like home to them anymore.” The 73-year-old Crazy Train singer, notorious for biting the head off a bat onstage, underwent risky spinal surgery in Los Angeles in mid-June but will continue his recovery at the family’s longtime home in England. Ozzy’s loudmouth wife, Sharon, has already found a…

JEALOUS Joy Behar has targeted rival Whoopi Goldberg for the chopping block so she can take over The View’s No. 1 cohosting slot by summer’s end, sources tattle. “Joy’s been quietly campaigning for Whoopi’s removal,” snitches an insider. “She’s said for months now Whoopi’s a liability and it’s in everyone’s interest if she gets greased so the ratings can improve and they can bring in new talent.” Meanwhile, the 79-year-old schemer, who recently signed another three-year contract with ABC, intends to stay on the hot seat until she rots and is slamming rumors she’s quitting following her shocking on-air face plant. The last of the original panelists, Joy gave co-workers a terrible fright in March when she tumbled while walking to her chair. Cohosts Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin rushed…

TOUGH guy movie star James Caan took shocking secrets to the grave, including his hate for his Godfather co-star Marlon Brando, trysts with Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss and why he became a cocaine junkie. A four-time loser at marriage, the 82-year-old father of five — including Hawaii Five-0 actor Scott Caan — died at his Beverly Hills home July 7. He rode a rocket to stardom in 1972’s The Godfather when he played Marlon Brando’s oldest son, Sonny Corleone, and publicly claimed he loved the movie legend. But secretly, he despised him because “Marlon drove Jimmy nuts,” a source says. “He thought Brando was crazy and working with him drove Caan to distraction!” Caan says he would tell Brando jokes at lunch and the aging screen legend wouldn’t get the…

TWISTED pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died leaving a $600 million fortune — most obtained mysteriously from his former billionaire backer Les Wexner, the fashion mogul and boss of Victoria’s Secret. At one time, college dropout Epstein, who taught math for one year at a preppy girls’ school, had a short stint at a brokerage house and was involved in Ponzi-laced business schemes, basically had control over Wexner’s massive financial empire, including the tycoon’s power of attorney, say sources. In an explosive documentary, Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons, one investigator concludes Epstein weaseled $400 million out of Wexner, now 84, who’s worth $5.6 billion. Some $100 million of that came in the form of a Manhattan mansion, a Boeing 727 private plane and a massive 23-room estate in Ohio, according to the…

PUSHED by his ambitious wife, Meghan, henpecked Prince Harry is giving up his royal titles — and British citizenship — in a shocking final insult to dying Queen Elizabeth, palace sources tell GLOBE. Royal courtiers claim the 37-year-old blueblood is determined to legally become an American after being pressed by Meghan, 40, to sever ties with his kin — as she previously did with all her American family except mom Doria Ragland. Although Meghan will lose her coveted duchess title, too, it’s all part of her grand scheme to pursue power and fame, sources say. In a bombshell revelation, sources claim the former B-list actress from TV’s legal drama Suits intends to run for Congress, which she couldn’t do under a U.S. Constitution clause prohibiting public officials from holding a…

RAPPER Nicki Minaj’s ex-con hubby was hit with a year of house arrest — and a $55,000 fine — after admitting he failed to register as a sex offender in California! Kenneth Petty moved from New York to L.A. in 2019, shortly before getting hitched to the hip-hop hottie. But he was arrested weeks after their wedding for neglecting to check in with local law enforcement. The former jailbird had served four years behind bars for a 1995 conviction for attempted rape.…

CONVICTED sex monster R. Kelly is engaged to one of his former victims — Jocelyn Savage — who previously accused the I Believe I Can Fly singer of abuse and keeping her a prisoner. On June 29, the 55-year-old R&B crooner was sentenced to 30 years in the slammer for racketeering and taking women or girls across state lines for “immoral purposes.” But in a letter to the judge pleading for a lenient sentence it has been revealed wannabe singer Savage, 26, one of his two live-in galpals, said she was the fiend’s “fiancée” and described him as “very sweet, gentle, and kind … he has always made sure that I’m taken care of, and any other women he was with.” She also claims she was “delusional” when she accused…

TV news anchor Heather Kovar claims she was brutally overworked after she was suspended following an embarrassing on-air report where she looked a scruffy mess and slurred her words. The CBS anchor for Albany, N.Y., got sidelined on July 10, a day after her shocking 6 p.m. performance where she got the weatherman’s name wrong and jumbled: “And so, moving on tonight, is we have to tell you also, you know, like other news that’s happening in the area.” Show bigwigs soon cut off Kovar and she was suspended pending an internal investigation. Heather later revealed she was “sleep-deprived and exhausted” that day and had been forced to work double shifts since returning from family leave to care for her father, who passed away in May. She says on that day, bosses…

RAVISHING RITA HAYWORTH plays a sultry temptress in Gilda, an erotic 1946 film noir that gave censors headaches! Hayworth’s character is torn between her bridegroom and GLENN FORD, playing an ex-lover. The movie features one of the cheekiest entrances ever filmed: Gilda’s husband calls, “Are you decent?” before opening the door, and Hayworth flips her lavish red locks and responds, “Who, me?” They shot the scene TWICE to try different costumes before choosing an off-the-shoulder dressing gown.…

REALITY star Erika Jayne has plunged into a shocking downward spiral — boozing, crying broke and begging friends for cash, spies claim. But the 51-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills blonde isn’t getting much sympathy from castmates after she got toasted on their Mexican adventure and passed out on a couch, ruining the fabric, an insider says. Now pals worry “she’ll wind up bloated and washed up” if she doesn’t mend her ways, spills the insider, who insists, “Kyle Richards and the others roll their eyes when she claims she has no money and begs them to pick up the tab.” Sources say Erika is piling on the pounds because win gives her the munchies and she has been drowning her sorrows in booze. Erika’s currently battling lawsuits charging she and ex-husband Tom…

BELOVED F Troop actor Larry Storch died July 8 at 99, but he leaves behind a shameful family secret — he unloaded wife Norma Greve’s biracial daughter on Black neighbors to raise! What’s more, the comic actor ALSO sent out for adoption an out-of-wedlock baby he had with future wife Norma! Stepdaughter June Cross, now 68, was four when the Storches asked a middle-class Black couple in Atlanta to raise Norma’s dark-skinned child. Even when the girl visited Storch and her real mom in Hollywood, they continued to lie about her identity! “In those days, people were encrusted in prejudice,” Storch once explained. “We saw no reason to rock the boat.” And in 1948, many years before their 1961 wedding, Larry and Norma gave up another secret child — this time for…

DISGRACED attorney Alex Murdaugh, who stands accused of being a one-man crime wave, will have charges brought against him for the brutal slaying of his wife and son in 2021, say South Carolina authorities. The pending homicide charges come 18 months after Murdaugh called 911 to report finding the bodies of his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, 52, and troubled son, Paul, 22, who were gunned down at the family’s hunting lodge. On July 12, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) officials delivered the news to Murdaugh’s younger brother John Marvin that they plan to present evidence in the case to a grand jury — and they did not reference any other suspects in the shocking crime. Officials didn’t reveal what evidence they had obtained, saying in a statement: “SLED’s investigation into…

FORMER President Donald Trump has turned on his favorite child, Ivanka, over her greedy, self-serving husband Jared Kushner — adding fire to an already smoldering family feud! Sources exclusively tell GLOBE the Republican kingpin, 76, is livid over the ways his opportunistic son-in-law leveraged his position as a White House senior advisor to broker business deals to line his own pockets. “Ivanka has been told Jared is no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s inner circle — and she’s furious about it!” reveals a longtime Trump family insider. “Her brothers have stood behind their father on this and are barely on speaking terms with their own sister.” Signs of trouble recently became obvious when fellow former senior White House advisor Kellyanne Conway unloaded on Jared, the 41-year-old son of real estate…

FRAGILE Princess Charlene of Monaco has sparked new worries for her mental health after sharing a “distressing” piece of digital artwork that seems to depict her locked inside a cage! The weak-seeming waif — who only recently returned to royal duties after mysterious absences over the past 18 months — posted artist Junaid Sénéchal-Senekal’s NFT piece on Instagram. It depicts a gaunt, hollow-eyed Charlene, her face broken by squares that shocked fans say resemble bars of a jail cell! What’s more, the background features grayish figures that some say look like ghosts flitting across the frail beauty’s face! The rickety royal, 44, chopped off her blond tresses and vanished to her native South Africa last year for ten months as she battled what she claimed was a nasty sinus infection. She…

RUSSIA’S arrest and jailing of U.S. pro basketball star Brittney Griner on phony-baloney drug charges is another example of what a murderous worm Vladimir Putin is! Brittney’s lawyer had her plead guilty to a charge of carrying illegal drugs, but she’s not some junkie or dealer. The drug was CBE cannabis oil, which is legal here and in most of Europe, and Brittney was vaping it — likely because it relieves the stress and pain the towering former Baylor University star endures while getting banged around on court. Brittney was in Putin’s domain because the Russian women’s team UMMC Ekaterinburg was paying her over $1 million to play for them — for a FIFTH season — during the U.S. WNBA offseason. She makes just $228,000 dribbling for the Phoenix Mercury.…
