OMEGA-3 fatty acids have long been considered good for the heart, but new research confirms eating plenty of oily fish containing the essential nutrients protects against Alzheimer’s disease. According to a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, brain scans of 166 test subjects revealed that omega-3s boosted blood flow in the regions of the brain controlling memory and learning — areas hit hard by the dementia-inducing disorder. People who ate fish containing the fatty acids, such as salmon and sardines, were also found to be better at understanding new information. Subjects with high omega-3 levels also demonstrated stronger mental and emotional health. The findings show “a correlation between lower omega-3 fatty acid levels and reduced brain blood flow to regions important for learning, memory, depression and dementia,” says lead…

DEBONAIR actor RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN earned a legion of female fans playing the title character in the medical drama Dr. Kildare from 1961 to 1966. But the TV heartthrob hid a shocking secret from adoring fans — he was gay. Richard went on to headline epic miniseries such as Centennial, Shogun and The Thorn Birds, but stayed in the closet for decades.

TWO bungling thieves’ get-rich-quick scheme literally went up in smoke after trying to torch open an ATM! Even more humiliating, the doofuses tried to douse the flames — destroying the machine with their own urine! Using footage caught on a surveillance camera, cops have identified 31-year-old Jason Kovar as one of the would-be robbers of the Coastal Community Bank in Everett, Wash. On May 30, the dim-witted duo planned to blowtorch the bank’s ATM and pry it open, cops say. “They attempted to get into the ATM,” says the bank’s chief operating officer, John Dickson. “And it looks like they used a blowtorch, which caught the currency on fire and created a little fire damage.” The crooks apparently didn’t realize the intensity of the blowtorch would cause the money to…

SEX siren Ann- Margret’s hubby Roger Smith died nursing a bitter grudge — he HATED his 77 Sunset Strip co-stars! Smith, who played suave sleuth Jeff Spencer on the detective drama, was battling Parkinson’s disease when he passed away earlier this month at age 84 in California’s Sherman Oaks Hospital. Although Sunset Strip, co-starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Edd “Kookie” Byrnes, ran from 1958 to 1964, Roger was forced to quit after five seasons when a blood clot was discovered in his brain. But by then, he’d had a belly full of Zimbalist’s “haughty attitude” and the “obnoxious self-importance” of Byrnes, who’d become one of TV’s first teen idols. “Publicly, Roger got along with his co-stars just fine,” a source tells GLOBE. “But, privately, it was another matter.” Efrem, who…

WILL SUCCESS spoil This Is Us? NBC’s blockbuster tearjerker was the year’s breakout new series — finishing fifth in the ratings last season for prime-time series and propelling the network to the top of the chart among younger viewers. But whispers echoing around the telesphere have Milo Ventimiglia and co-star Sterling K. Brown getting Emmy nods by the end of summer, and media pundits expect the tight-knit cast to crack under awards pressure. “Milo has talked about how the cast is a bunch of goofballs and how they support each other,” says an insider. “But a tough Emmy fight could stop the lovein!” With the two heartthrobs jockeying for stardom — and possibly higher salaries, as their market values rise, the surprise hit may find itself straining to handle the…

The final straw came when the 4-foot-10, 72-year-old squirt was pictured looking the worse for wear in a rumpled striped shirt and sport coat in Britain’s capital. He was giving the peace sign to passersby on the way back to his hotel after the Arsenal soccer club’s win over Chelsea on May 27. “Rhea got wind of his carousing and she was livid,” a friend spills to GLOBE. “He’s over there having all the fun while she’s in L.A. taking care of the…

ACTING legend Stacy Keach suffered a horrifying heart attack on stage during a one-man play — and a source fears he’s nearing his final curtain call. The shocking event, which insiders say may be linked to Stacy’s history of cocaine abuse, occurred in Chicago before an opening-night audience for Pamplona, a oneman show about legendary author Ernest Hemingway. As the play approached the final scenes, Stacy, who starred as a tough-guy private eye in Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, began repeating his lines. Chicago Tribune theater critic Chris Jones says he knew something was wrong “when you began to hear lines repeated — over and over — over and over again.” At first, “a lot of the audience thought this was planned,” but as the actor continued to struggle, a voice came…

FUNNY LADY Amy Poehler has had the Midas touch since leaving Saturday Night Live, starring in prime time’s Parks and Recreation and penning the best-selling memoir Yes Please. This summer, she adds another big movie to her resume, teaming with Will Ferrell in The House. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about Amy. 1 Amy was born September 16, 1971 in Newton, Mass., to two schoolteachers. 2 Teenage Amy worked in a ice cream parlor that made her wear old-timey outfits — and play kazoo when giving out free birthday sundaes! 3 At Boston College, she became a member of the school’s comedy troupe, My Mother’s Fleabag. 4 After graduation, she studied improv at Chicago’s Second City, where she met pal Tina Fey and lived in comedian Chris Farley’s…

MURDEROUS monster Adam Ruiz almost got away with killing his half-sister and her lesbian lover — until his conscience betrayed him. The charred bodies of Ruiz’s sibling Samantha Welch and partner Celia Reyes, both 18, were discovered after firefighters put out a blaze at the basement apartment they shared on Oct. 16, 2014. Investigators found evidence of accelerants among the ashes, and instantly suspected the two women were killed in the blaze, victims of arson. To be sure, autopsies were performed on Samantha and Celia — but the cause of death was ruled inconclusive. Unknown to investigators, twisted Ruiz, who had lived with the two women, fled to Denver, Colo. For eight months, the deranged man tried to lose the trail of death he left behind, posting dozens of photos…

POP rocker Phil Collins is back on the booze as he embarks on his Not Dead Yet tour, leaving pals fearing he’s playing Russian roulette with his health and needs to check into rehab before it’s too late! After nearly “killing himself with vodka,” the 66-year-old Brit says he quit booze for three years and now can knock back “a couple of glasses of wine” and still be able to quit! He also insists even in his heaviest guzzling days, he was NOT an alcoholic. “I had a problem with alcohol,” he admits. “I enjoyed it … but when I had to stop because it was killing me, I stopped.” Still, “he’s playing with a dangerous game” and needs professional help, says an insider. “He thinks he can have a…

A NEW weapon in the war on aging has been discovered — an inexpensive dye known to scientists for 140 years! Medical professionals have used methylene blue as a dye to stain body tissue during surgery, combat cyanide poisoning and treat urinary tract infections. But the antioxidant may be the key to the fountain of youth, according to a study conducted at the University of Maryland. “Methylene blue demonstrates a great potential to delay skin aging for all ages,” says Zheng-Mei Xiong, lead author of the study. The research team tested the compound on skin cells from middle-aged donors, octogenarians and patients with the aging disease progeria. Methylene blue was found to increase the production of fibroblasts, the skin cells that produce collagen — the protein that keeps skin looking…

COUNTRY singer Hank Williams Jr. will be back on ESPN’s Monday Night Football with his iconic theme song — six years after being dropped from the network for his controversial remarks about President Barack Obama. In 2011, the redneck star compared Obama golfing with Republican John Boehner to Adolf Hitler golfing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At the time, Hank apologized for his “extreme” analogy, but defended himself by saying, “They’re polar opposites, and it made no sense.”…

CBS Evening News’ Scott Pelley has been given the boot, and media snitches says it’s Lester Holt’s fault! The sinking anchorman has been shipped off to 60 Minutes full time — and insiders dish that it’s all because of how the evening audience tuned in to Holt and NBC! Pelley succeeded Katie Couric behind the desk in 2011, but his tenure has been in jeopardy since Holt took over NBC’s Nightly News in 2015 after Brian Williams was ousted. “Lester has nearly two million more viewers than Pelley,” notes one critic. “CBS had to make a move before it was too late.” “Pelley comes off as too cold and blunt. Lester’s just a more likable guy,” says another. “It makes sense that the audience relates to him better.” There’s no…

GH STILL LOVES ANDERSON! BRADFORD ANDERSON has been asked to return to GH as Spinelli — and is he ever relieved! Bradford had to back out the last time GH wanted him — because he had booked an episode of Homeland, a move that forced the show to recast with Blake Berris (ex-Nick, Days). “The situation that happened last December has stayed with me,” Bradford shares. “I hated the fact that I made life harder for my friends at GH. I just felt awful.” When he got the call to come back again, his worries lifted. “I didn’t know if they’d ever call again, because I put them in a really tough position. If there were hard feelings, I didn’t feel them. Everyone was so sweet.” DAYS FAVE FLIES TO WORK…

A NOTORIOUS serial killer sent up the river for the kidnapping, rape and murder of three teenage girls — including her little sister — is now free and volunteering at an elementary school! Karla Homolka served 12 years in a Canadian prison after her 1993 conviction for the sick assaults on Kristen French, 15, and Leslie Mahaffy, 14, with her then-husband Paul Bernardo — who’s currently serving a life sentence. Shockingly, Homolka also played a part in the death of her own 15-year-old sister, Tammy, helping her hubby drug, abuse and kill her. Investigators revealed the twisted pervs violated and tortured Kristen and Leslie for days — and videotaped their kinky attacks before the girls’ brutal deaths.

THE thrill of being first-time parents after the birth of their twins is over for movie hunk George Clooney and his wife Amal Ñ who are now bickering over the stinky job of changing diapers, sources say. Shortly after welcoming daughter Ella and son Alexander on June 6, the power couple began trying to dodge diaper duty, an insider claims. “George considers changing diapers beneath him,” blabs the insider. “In his mind, it’s not his job. “But Amal has told him it’s what he signed up for, so deal with it!” With George at 56 and Amal at age 39, the two are latecomers to the parenting game. When they wed in 2014, human rights lawyer Amal was still insisting on continuing her career. George was busy…
