FURIOUS judge has ordered an investigation into Scientology’s shady underbelly after the church — accused of covering up the alleged sex attacks by celeb member Danny Masterson — secretly got its hands on sealed prosecution evidence used in the actor’s rape trial.

THE tragic death of 30-year-old Michael Jackson impersonator Jordan Neely, who died in a chokehold by Daniel Penny, 24, on a dirty New York City subway, raises a real dilemma over rights and justice, especially after the ex-Marine was charged with felony manslaughter. It all started May 1 when Neely, a homeless and mentally troubled man, came into a train car and began “screaming in an aggressive manner,” says witness Juan Alberto Vazquez. “He said he had no food, he had no drink, that he was tired and doesn’t care if he goes to jail. He took off his jacket and threw it on the ground.” Another witness claims Neely raged he was going to “kill somebody.” At that point Penny grabbed the nutjob from behind, took him down to…

AFTER shelling out $200 million to settle his divorce from Maria Shriver, Arnold Schwarzenegger is taking his time popping the question to longtime honey Heather Milligan, according to pals who say his cold feet could wind up terminating the relationship! “Friends are shaking their heads about him stalling when she’s so perfect for him,” spills a spy. “Heather’s a real catch. She’s easygoing and lets him be his silly self. She doesn’t even bat an eye when he flirts with the ladies — and proved she’s a good sport when they visited his family in Austria and knocked back beers. “But Arnie figures he doesn’t need marriage, so why would he take the leap?” That type of thinking could eventually spell disaster. “She’s been patient, but for how long?” says the…

The 41-year-old former American Idol was buried under an avalanche of anger — with some critics comparing her to tarnished former talker Ellen DeGeneres — when she announced the release of a new single while seemingly ignoring a shocking report that staffers endured a poisonous work environment that actually endangered their mental health.

THE bitter Presley family feud between Elvis’ ex-wife, Priscilla, and her actress granddaughter Riley Keough over the rock icon’s $70 million estate is over. The gals’ legal eagles say Priscilla and 34-year-old Riley, star of Prime TV’s Daisy Jones & the Six, have reached an undisclosed sealed settlement after a war over control of the estate left by Elvis’ only child, Lisa Marie, when she suddenly dropped dead in January at 54.
