COURAGEOUS First Lady Melania Trump is fighting back and clobbering the “mean girls” who talked trash about her years as a model, refusing to give her the respect she deserves! “She’s not taking this lying down,” says a source close to her proud husband, President Donald Trump. “The viciousness people have stooped to has gotten out of control.” Rosie O’Donnell sparked outrage on Twitter by sharing a video cruelly speculating about Donald and Melania’s 10-year-old son, Barron, possibly being autistic. Like a she-lion protecting her cub, furious Melania forced the fat funnygal to back down and apologize, by threatening to take Rosie to court.

from the Editors of Soap Opera Digest ONE LIFE FAVE MAKES SCARY CROSSOVER HILLARY B. Smith was thrilled when she was asked to take her One Life o Live character, Nora, to General Hospital. “The fact that she was so beloved and they felt that she still had enough of a fan base to bring her back is incredibly flattering,” says Hillary. “But it was a little scary because there’s some expectation here. You don’t want to let anyone down. So from that standpoint, I was a little nervous.” Happily, she ran into some former castmates when she arrived at the GH set, which put her at ease. “One of the first people I saw was Roger Howarth [Franco; ex-Todd, OLTL] and I gave him a hug, and the second person…

AILING pot-toking country legend Willie Nelson may have canceled recent concerts, but that hasn’t slowed down his new business venture — selling wacky weed! The crooner, 83, launched his “Willie’s Reserve” marijuana cigarettes and pot-laced chocolate snacks in Las Vegas, where recreational pot is legal. The line includes snuff cans containing marijuana flowers, ready-rolled joints and cartridges for use with electronic cigarettes.

Willie thinks he can change her mind. “She’s got a lot of guts,” he says.…

VETERAN TV journalist Charlie Rose is battling to survive after risky heart surgery to replace an artificial aortic valve he had installed 15 years ago! “At his age, we’re all worried and wonder if he’ll bounce back,” says a media insider.

Thousands of sexually impotent men undergo the one-hour implant procedure so they can rise to the occasion when the time is right.

FIGHTING cholesterol has never tasted better, thanks to a new chocolate-flavored pill! Blood Flow+, the first-ever medicine made from cocoa to target cholesterol levels in the blood, also claims to reduce the risk of dementia, heart attack and stroke. Currently on the market in England, the FDA is considering the pill for sale in the U.S. Scientists reveal flavanols, chemicals extracted from cocoa, help limit cholesterol levels while increasing blood flood. They also help increase production of nitric oxide, which allows artery wall muscles to relax. “Maintaining the elasticity of blood vessels is very important,” says pharmaceutical expert Dr. Alf Lindberg. “Even slightly elevated blood pressure in midlife is linked to increased risk of heart disease, stroke and dementia.” While researchers praise the merits of flavanols, don’t go on a…
