SPEAKING the queen’s English properly requires choosing your words with utmost care, says a language expert! Using the wrong word can mark you as a lowly commoner in Her Majesty’s eyes, reveals author Kate Fox in her book, Watching the English. Fox, an anthropologist, advises following these instructions in order to babble like a blue blood: Don’t say, “Pardon?” if you need someone to repeat themselves, it may seem polite, but the hoi polloi will simply say, “Sorry?” “Posh” is anything but. “Smart” is considered the more intelligent choice. No royal wears “perfume.” Instead, noble ladies spritz on “scent.” An evening meal should never be called “tea,” but rather “dinner” or “supper.” Relax on your “sofa” in the “sitting room” — never the “couch” in the “lounge.” “Lavatory” or “loo”…

But we are very happy.” Luisana and Michael, 41, had previously canceled all their professional commitments after they revealed the tot’s condition last November, wanting to focus on caring for him during the life-threatening illness. But now that Noah’s health is on the upswing, the pair is ready to return to the limelight. “We are looking forward to thinking about the future, to seeing our children grow,” says Luisana, who gave birth to the couple’s second son, Elias, in January 2016.…

THE crush of celebrity made Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors feel trapped during his nearly decadelong marriage to 1970s sex symbol Farrah Fawcett! “I was on a top TV show; she was on a top TV show,” Lee says of his time with the late Charlie’s Angels star. “We couldn’t go out. We couldn’t do anything.” Their romance burned hot before it flamed out, but their first date inspired friend Jim Weatherly to write a classic tune. “I took Farrah to see Jim play … he was with me when I drove her to the airport. He asked Farrah, ‘What flight are you taking?’ She said, ‘The midnight plane to Houston,’ ” recalls Lee. After a few tweaks requested by Gladys Knight, the song became the classic Midnight Train…

Night owl cause found! + SCIENTISTS have identified a genetic mutation behind delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPD)! The night owl condition makes it diffificult for sufferers to fall asleep or wake up early. But a Rockefeller University study determined a mutation in the CRY1 gene represses proteins in the normal circadian cycle — causing delays in the 24-hour body cycle that governs our internal physiology. “Carriers of the mutation have longer days than the planet gives them, so they are essentially playing catch-up for their entire lives,” says study author Alina Patke. Inhalers linked to obesity! + ASTHMA-fighting inhalers may help patients breathe easy, but they can cause women to pack on the pounds with deadly results, says a new study! Research from Holland’s Erasmus Medical Center shows the anti-inflammatory…

TROUBLED Full House actress Jodie Sweetin, 35, has to fork over more cash to ex-hubby Cody Herpin, after a judge more than tripled her child support payments to $2,000 a month. The fifinancial blow follows the star’s shocking bust-up with her ex-felon fifiancé, Justin Hodak, who threatened suicide when she broke off their engagement. As GLOBE previously reported, pals fear the horror might cause a relapse for former addict Jodie. But reps say she’s doing well.…

AMERICA’S Olympic sweetheart Nancy Kerrigan tearfully admits she has suffered half a dozen miscarriages! While Nancy is now the doting mother of three children — Matthew, 19; Brian, 12; and eight-year-old Nicole — she endured six unsuccessful pregnancies in an eight-year span. “It was really hard,” says the beloved figure skater, who’s back in the spotlight on Dancing with the Stars. “It almost felt shameful, I think, because I couldn’t do it on my own.”…

SOON-TO-BE single Brad Pitt is getting back in the game! Spies spotted Angelina Jolie’s estranged hubby doing some “serious flirting” with blond bombshell Sienna Miller, 35, during a private dinner with a group of friends as they celebrated the premiere of The Lost City of Z, a new flick from Brad’s production company, Plan B. Brad, 53, and Sienna — who’s starring in the adventure drama — were “heavily enjoying each other’s company,” and “they were talking to each other all night,” says a snitch. The encounter noticeably perked up Brad, who’s been looking scary-skinny since his stressful split from Angie. A mole reveals the Oscar winner appeared to be “in very high spirits, which he hasn’t been for a long time. He seems to be over a hump.”…

A GUT-WRENCHING story line on NBC’s Chicago P.D. saw character Kim Burgess discover her sister bleeding in an El train station after being violently raped. Gutsy Burgess nailed the perp, but asked for a leave of absence — mere months after her promotion to the Intelligence Unit. But the real reason for the character’s departure is a much happier one — actress Marina Squerciati, who plays Burgess, is expecting her first child! In addition to taking time off for motherhood, Marina sees value in shaking up producer Dick Wolf’s Windy City crime series. “It’s good for a show at this point to sort of shuffle the deck and keep people on their toes,” she says. “You’re not used to main characters leaving, and I think that what’s kind of amazing…

PARIS Jackson is worried sick for baby brother Blanket, sources say — because he’s home alone in the sprawling Jackson estate! The 15-year-old youngest child of Michael Jackson has been essentially guardianless at the Calabasas, Calif., compound in recent months while his guardian and grandma, Katherine, has been in London and L.A. His other guardian, cousin Tito Joe, is nowhere to be found, according to reports. He’s supposed to be sharing supervising duties with his wife, Frances, but Paris is worried about Blanket’s separation from immediate relatives. While Paris may be concerned, she hasn’t exactly rushed to her brother’s side. Instead, she’s spent time in New York and Paris in recent weeks. And as GLOBE recently reported, she’s also been looking for lesbian love on an exclusive dating app!…

GLOBE EXCLUSIVE DEVASTATED by the double blow of losing her brother Garry and best pal Carrie Fisher, Penny Marshall is being killed by a broken heart, pals fear. “These two deaths have flattened Penny like a one-two punch,” reveals a source close to TV’s Laverne and Shirley star. Penny, 73, amazed Hollywood by beating deadly brain and lung cancer with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in 2013. But the A League of Their Own director, who incredibly still smokes, was shattered when her beloved brother and Happy Days producer, Garry, died at age 81 in July. She plunged into an even deeper funk after Carrie’s fatal heart attack at age 60 in December. “Penny and Carrie were thick as thieves for as long as I can remember,” the source recalls. “Carrie…

SHY KIRSTEN HATES BARING ALL KIRSTEN DUNST doesn’t like getting busy for the camera — even if it’s with hunky actor COLIN FARRELL. The pair got together for The Beguiled, about a wounded Yankee soldier being cared for at an all-girls private school in the South. Kirsten says she was grateful to be working with Sophia Coppola behind the camera — because when the director is a man, they “want to shoot it from every angle.” With a bod like Kirsten’s — can you blame them?

DIAGNOSING prostate cancer might be just one sniff away, thanks to a revolutionary machine! While certain breeds of dogs — such as spaniels and Labradors — have been trained to smell for the disease, a new gadget does essentially the same thing by recording the molecules canines would have picked up sniffing a urine sample. “Diagnosing prostate cancer accurately continues to be one of the biggest challenges,” says Simon Grieveson of Prostate Cancer UK. Soon this breakthrough will spare men an invasive and painful biopsy procedure that requires getting tissue samples from the prostate gland. “About 60 percent of men who get a biopsy to test for prostate cancer don’t need one,” says researcher Dr. Amanda Siegel. “If dogs can smell prostate cancer, we should be able to, too.” Early…

BOMBSHELL Brazilian actress Greice Santo says Daryl Katz, the owner of the Edmonton Oilers, once made her a shocking offer: A movie role — and cash — in exchange for “companionship and sex.” Greice, who had a recurring role on WB’s Jane the Virgin, makes her claim in a defamation lawsuit filed by her Australian gambler husband, Robert Cipriani. The suit says a soused Katz made the indecent proposal during a 2015 photo shoot in Hawaii. Katz’s attorney, Dennis Roach, slammed the complaint as “malicious and entirely without merit.” It’s simple, if it jiggles, itÕs fat. — Arnold Schwarzenegger…

SPANISH stud Antonio Banderas says there’s a positive result from his January heart attack — he quit cigarettes cold turkey! “If there is something good that came from all of this, it is that I suddenly stopped smoking, without needing pills or anything like that.

In addition to dating Dutch beauty Nicole Kempel, Antonio, 56, has six movies in the works, including Black Butterflfly, a thriller co-starring Adrien Brody and John Malkovich.…

FORMER Friends star David Schwimmer was given a choice — Hollywood or his marriage — and chose Tinseltown, stunned pals reveal. David, who played monkey-loving Ross on the 1990s sitcom, and his British artist wife Zoe Buckman broke up after a series of bitter fights over his career and her desire to stay in New York, insiders say. “Zoe doesn’t like L.A.,” says a snitch, who notes the couple lived in the Big Apple with daughter Cleo. But David — who got rave reviews for playing lawyer Robert Kardashian in The People v. O.J. Simpson — was spending less time at home and more time in L.A., riding his renewed fame. Long-distance love complicated things for David and Zoe, say friends. The couple announced they were “taking a break” to…

DAYS FAVE FLOGS NANNY REBOOT CHARLES Shaughnessy (Shane, Days of Our Lives), who starred with Fran Drescher in the popular ’90s sitcom The Nanny, says there’s buzz about bringing the sitcom back. “There’s been talk about a stage musical. There’s been talk about a revival series. There’s been talk about a one-off limited show, like a Gilmore Girlstype thing,” he shares. But the actor has his doubts. “The whole concept of The Nanny is a nanny to these three kids. When those three kids are all grown up, there is no need for a nanny,” he points out. “Other than getting a bunch of the same actors 20 years later and 20 years older together again, I don’t know how it would work.” ART IMITATES LIFE FOR Y&R STAR KRISTOFF St.…

POP diva Janet Jackson has scooped up her threemonth- old son, Eissa, and stormed out on estranged Muslim hubby Wissam Al Mana — insisting she’ll raise the boy as a single mom! The 50-year-old recording star officially declared she and the 42-year-old CEO/owner of a multinational company parted April 8, after five years of marriage. But the news came as no surprise. Two months ago a source told GLOBE, “Janet and Wissam have decided their union isn’t working and will go their separate ways.” According to a Jackson insider, the break-up is “amicable” because Wissam “didn’t really want a baby,” and has not been a doting dad. In fact, the Qatari tycoon was against Janet’s desperate bid to have a child before her biological clock shut down, say sources. “He…

TINSELTOWN’S newest odd couple is sitcom star Jimmie “J.J.” Walker and conservative firebrand Ann Coulter. While there have been rumors about the pair for years, legendary TV producer Norman Lear blew the lid off the secret romance. He revealed the 69-year-old African-American star of his classic ’70s comedy Good Times and right-wing Republican pundit Ann, 55, have been dating “for some time!” “Norman really dropped a bombshell,” says an industry insider. “Jimmie and Ann have been seen out together and there have been whispers for years they were dating under the radar. “But Ann has insisted they’re just good friends. Now it looks like there’s a whole lot more going on!” Norman, 94, dropped his shocking revelation by saying Jimmie, who played J.J. on Good Times, “dates Ann Coulter! I…

LATE-NIGHT TV legend David Letterman reveals the sex and blackmail scandal that rocked his reputation and marriage was “hell” and sent him spiraling into depression. In 2009, CBS News producer Robert Halderman discovered the TV host was having an affair with assistant Stephanie Birkitt — and threatened to turn the sordid story into a screenplay if he didn’t receive $2 million! Letterman, then hosting the Late Show, shocked viewers by announcing he’d had sex with women who worked for him and revealing the extortion attempt. But David, 70, confessed his agony to his inner circle, saying the experience was “akin to having killed your family in a car crash.” “I was afraid my family was gone,” recalls the funnyman, whose wife, Regina Lasko, stood by him throughout the ordeal.…

COUNTRY music legend Loretta Lynn’s rags-to-riches life is as captivating as her music.

ATRIO of swindling strippers and a greedy club hostess got off with shockingly skimpy sentences for their roles in a dirty blackmail plot targeting rich men with a weakness for pretty women. The scamming sexpots — mastermind Samantha Barbash, 43; Roslyn Keo, 31; and Marsi Rosen, 29 — admitted to spiking the drinks of four men with the powerful sedative ketamine and molly, a street drug similar to Ecstasy, before running up their credit cards at two New York City jiggle joints. The ladies trolled for their marks at upscale hotel bars, looked for well-to-do victims and ensnared a cardiologist, a hedge-fund manager, a banker and an attorney. Once the men were wasted, the voluptuous vixens brought them to Scores in Manhattan and Road- House NYC in Queens to run…

ACTOR Verne Troyer, who found fame playing “Mini-Me” in the Austin Powers movies, is fighting for his life — but those closest to him have turned their backs on the pint-sized star! GLOBE has learned exclusively the 2-foot-8 performer, hospitalized recently in L.A. for alcohol addiction, has been abandoned by his own family! In a brave attempt to get the help he needs, the actor — born with a condition called cartilage- hair hypoplasia dwarfism — planned to check into a rehab center. But his relatives are dismissing him when he most needs support. Contacted by GLOBE about Verne’s dire condition, brother Davon and sister Deborah said they didn’t know Verne, 48, and quickly got off the phone. Verne’s ex-girlfriend, Ranae Shepherd, recalls he had a tight-knit family — but…

FOOTBALL superstar Aaron Rodgers has sacked actress Olivia Munn because she was rushing the quarterback into marriage, sources say. The breakup also ends the 33-year-old Green Bay Packers passing machine’s feud with his family, who loathed the 36-yearold X-Men: Apocalypse beauty, pals say. “Olivia really put the pressure on Aaron to forget about his family and marry her,” snitches a pal. “They think she’s shallow and went after him because he’s a football star. “Aaron stuck up for her and turned his back on his own folks and his brother, Jordan. It upset him that they didn’t accept Olivia. Freezing them out that way had to be hard for him, especially around the holidays and when birthdays cropped up.” But the final straw that ended their three-year love-in was her…

TODAY show host Jenna Bush Hager, 35, put her foot in her mouth and spilled a shocking secret about her famous grandma, Barbara Bush, 91 — the former fifirst lady is missing two toes!

Bush blurted out, “My grandma is missing a toe on each foot.” Regretting her misstep, Jenna quickly added, “But she has darling feet … and they look cute!” ›› Things do not happen.

THE ratings spiral continues for Keeping Up with the Kardashians — and the floundering show is headed down the toilet, industry insiders say! Despite momager Kris Jenner’s manic efforts to drum up new story lines — her highly orchestrated breakup with boy toy Corey Gamble, daughter Kim’s plans for baby number three and sex-swapper Caitlyn Jenner’s exile — viewers are finally tuning out in droves. Interest in the reality clan is so low, the show couldn’t even cash in on its bombshell episode about Kim’s frightening Paris robbery! “It’s time for E! to cancel this train wreck. No one’s interested in the Kardashians anymore,” says one media mole. “Audiences are fed up with Kris Jenner’s fake news and manipulation.” “The Paris robbery episode should have been a ratings bonanza,” adds…

HIGH school newspaper reporters smelled a scandal swirling around their school’s new principal — and dug up damning evidence to expel her! When Amy Robertson was appointed to run Pittsburg High School in Kansas, reporters and editors at the Booster Redux, the school’s newspaper, started to fact-check her résumé. The rookie reporters conducted a weeks-long investigation and uncovered some major problems. “We stumbled on some things that most might not consider legitimate credentials,” says Trina Paul, an editor at the paper. The young journalists found discrepancies in Robertson’s education credentials — exposing how she got master’s and doctorate degrees from Corllins University, which isn’t an accredited school. The kids concluded Corllins appeared to be a diploma mill, where degrees could be bought instead of earned! Then they found a school…

SCREEN beauty SISSY SPACEK is a sight to behold — and cower from — in this iconic, soaked-inpigs blood shot from the 1976 supernatural thriller Carrie. Sissy’s oddball teen character recovers from this famously humiliating scene at the prom and gets even — thanks to her own terrifying psychic powers. Sissy left horror behind to win the 1981 Best Actress Oscar playing beloved country queen Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner’s Daughter. But the former model, now 67, still can’t get completely away from the red stuff — she plays family matriarch Sally Rayburn in Netflix’s suspense series Bloodline.…
