HANKS FOR THE MEMORIES He’s played Forrest Gump, astronaut Jim Lovell and countless other memorable roles. So which of his characters would Oscar winner TOM HANKS choose to have a beer with? “I’d go out with Charlie Wilson from ‘Charlie Wilson’s War,’ ” says Tom, revealing that the real-life U.S. congressman, who died in 2010, “was the most fabulous party animal that there was.” We’re guessing that news won’t land well with Capt.

Medical news YOU can use! WORKING HELPS YOU LIVE LONGER LOOKING forward to that big day when you can finally retire from work and kick up your heels? Don’t … because it can send you to an early grave, experts warn! An Oregon State University study found working past 65 can actually add years to your life, and leads to an 11 percent lower risk of death from all natural causes. “We think work brings a lot of economic and social benefits that could impact the length” of lives, said Chenkai Wu, lead author of the study. Even those who live what might be described as an unhealthy lifestyle still add years to their lifespan by continuing to work past their mid-sixties. The research used almost 20 years’ worth of…

ACTRESS Catherine Zeta-Jones is boiling with jealousy over hubby Michael Douglas’ king-sized crush on newsgal Megyn Kelly. Sources say the frail 71-year-old “Wall Street” stud — once a major skirtchaser rumored to have undergone rehab for sex addiction — has been burning up the phone lines with the 45-year-old FOX News beauty, who is married to writer Douglas Brunt. “Michael’s smitten with Megyn,” spills an insider. “They struck up a friendship … he thinks she’s the total package — whip-smart and drop-dead gorgeous. “He calls Megyn to talk about everything from politics to personal matters, and that’s what has Catherine boiling. It burns Catherine up.” The Tinseltown A-listers, parents to teens Dylan and Carys, “have always had trust issues and suspected the other of cheating,” adds the spy. In 2010,…

HOLLYWOOD political powerhouse Barbra Streisand is banned from the Clinton presidential campaign over her crush on Hillary’s hubby, Bill, insiders say! “Hillary has never let go of her anger over Barbra’s blatant flirting with Bill,” explains a political spy. “It goes back to when Bill was president and Babs had slept at the White House while Hillary was out of town.” Streisand’s sleepover happened when Hillary was in Arkansas comforting her dying father, according to Clinton sources. When she returned and found the diva Democrat swanning around the White House’s private quarters, she went ballistic — and that rage is still hot today, sources say. Dishes the insider, “Hillary doesn’t want her anywhere near the campaign. She’s well aware of the heat between Babs and Bill.” Now she’s banned the…

A GRADUATE of the best prep and Ivy League schools, spoiled brat Thomas Gilbert Jr. totally mooched off his wealthy dad — then blew the old man’s brains out over his allowance, cops charge. When the 70-year-old Manhattan family patriarch threatened to slash $200 from his unemployed son’s $600 weekly allowance, the pampered 31-year-old shot his father in the head with a .40 caliber Glock semi-automatic pistol, according to police. Now, the ingrate is trying to beat a murder rap by claiming he’s nuts! But cops say Junior was sane enough to stage the death scene to make it look like suicide. Junior’s mom, Shelley Gilbert, found her hubby’s corpse “on the floor with a bullet hole in his head,” says NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce. “She also found…

As GLOBE previously reported, the 63-year-old TV star wants to slash his eye-popping $21,000 monthly checks to exwife Pamela Bach. Now he’s claiming he’s only got $600 in the bank, is nearly $100,000 in hock on his credit cards and owes six figures in back taxes! But money can’t buy happiness.

Straightshooting Davidson says, “People have to learn to own their own stuff, and that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen with Lisa.

ADORABLE DEBBIE REYNOLDS never actually strutted with GENE KELLY during his beloved, water-soaked solo in “Singin’ in the Rain,” but that didn’t stop her from posing under an umbrella for this promotional shot for the 1952 film. Of course plenty of other dazzling dance scenes allowed the 19-year-old ingénue and her charismatic 39-year-old co-star to sashay into hearts everywhere. Amazingly, former gymnast and beauty queen Debbie had no dance experience before snagging the role of cutie chorus girl Kathy — and filming for the “Good Morning” number with Gene was so grueling her feet bled. “The two hardest things I ever did in my life are childbirth and ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’ ” she says.…

RANDY Rob Reiner showed a lot of cheek as a teenager — by grabbing Mary Tyler Moore’s butt! Actor and director Rob, best known as “Meathead” on the legendary sitcom “All in the Family,” admits he groped America’s thensweetheart on the set of “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” “I was 14 years old and she was like 25, I guess,” Rob recalls. “The hormones were going, and I just went and grabbed.” Dad Carl Reiner, who created the hit 1960s sitcom, didn’t exactly blast young Rob for sexual harassment. “My father called me into his office, and he said, ‘Did you grab Mary Tyler Moore by the ass?’ And I said, ‘Uh, yeah,’ ” reveals Rob. “And he said, with a big smile on his face, ‘Don’t do that anymore.’…

HARRISON Ford’s “Star Wars” hero Han Solo didn’t start off being such a brave guy. In the original version of the first flick in 1977, Han has a showdown with a green lizardlooking bounty hunter named Greedo. Actor Paul Blake, who played Greedo, reveals that in the first cut of the scene, Han pulls out his gun without warning and shoots the surprised alien dead. “In the original script, at the end of the scene, it reads, ‘Han shoots the alien,’ recalls Paul. “It’s all it says and that’s what happened.” But later, director George Lucas decided to make Han  look more heroic. So he had Greedo draw first, fire and miss before Han gunned him down. Now Paul wishes they’d restore the original scene so Greedo doesn’t look so…

KIM Kardashian is a total control freak! A handwriting analysis expert says Kim’s typewriterperfect script is evidence of her tightly wrapped personality. “She spends an exceptional amount of time … trying to look nice, trying to fit in the line, and the result is a very beautiful and together public persona,” says forensic handwriting ace Bart Baggett, after studying writing samples Kim posted on the internet. “The downside to that is anyone who spends that much time being perfect is not cool with things going crazy. So she’s kind of a control freak … if things don’t go well then she gets anxiety.” Kim’s bold lettering indicates “she really feels that whatever is happening right now is the center of the universe.” Meanwhile, the reality star and businesswoman keeps her…
