BOSSY talk host ELLEN DeGENERES has bullied her lipstick lesbian wife PORTIA de ROSSI into a complete makeover to look butchy — just like HER! New photos show Portia’s shed her blond sexpot look, chopping her golden tresses short and ditching her clingy gal getups for mannish duds that turn her into a mini-me of Ellen. A snitch says the twinsy look is Ellen’s plan to “force stability” on their often rocky marriage. “Ellen’s line is that it’s cute for them to be in sync,” blabs the mole. “They go shopping at Nordstrom and giggle in the aisles, picking out clothes for each other. When Ellen buys sneakers, Portia will get a pair for herself though she still loves her heels.” For now, henpecked Portia is bowing to the wishes…

›› The thing you hate about yourself tends to be the thing that everyone likes about you. Russell [Crowe] always says, ‘Nic, just wear your hair curly and leave your glasses on. That’s how you look best.’ — Nicole Kidman A PHOTOGRAPHER who specialized in capturing images of Europe’s royal families has thrown Monaco’s ice queen Princess Grace under the bus — branding her the most horrifying assignment in his four-decade career! Reginald Davis, author of the new book My Life Photographing Royalty and the Famous, dishes exmovie star Grace was “the most difficult royal I ever photographed — so haughty, arrogant and awkward.” But her take-no-prisoners attitude was golden when caught by cameras, which loved her! In his official portrait, “she seems every inch the relaxed, happy mother.” But Davis,…

FORMER Weeds stunner Mary-Louise Parker’s nanny has been busted for taking care of herself — with the star’s hard-earned cash! Babysitter Amanda Hoston-St. Louis, 33, was reportedly given Parker’s debit card and PIN to cover expenses related to the Golden Globe winner’s two children — William, 13, and Caroline, 10. But after two withdrawals totaling more than $3,000, Mary-Louise’s bank raised the alarm. Hoston-St. Louis has been charged with identity theft, grand larceny and possession of stolen property. Sources say she’s been linked to more than $30,000 in unauthorized transactions since 2016. The caregiver, a trusted member of Mary-Louise’s Brooklyn, N.Y., household, was listed in the acknowledgments of The West Wing actress’ 2015 memoir, Dear Mr. You.…

NOTORIOUS stoner Seth Rogen, 35, says he’ll NEVER eat pot because it’s just too potent! “Edibles are too strong,” says the Pineapple Express star. After chowing down on a spiked treat, he says his “heart was, like, beating out of my chest. “I’ve done a lot of drugs in my life. The most negative drug experiences I’ve ever had in my life are from weed edibles.” ›› It’s those moments when I’m being most truthful, being the highest form of myself. And, you know, a nice pair of Jimmy Choo stiletto, come-do-me pumps don’t hurt. — Jennifer Aniston…

IRON chef Bobby Flay’s mettle was tested — and defeated — by a highend sofa! The sensitive 52-year-old Food Network star is suing a furniture designer for $40,000 over a custom-made couch he calls “intolerably uncomfortable to sit on for any extended period of time.” Flay is steamed over the sectional delivered by Jamie Stern Design, and though he forked over a hefty $19,406.35 for the leather piece, the restaurateur is asking for nearly double that amount from the court for the “deficient” seating.…

COURT PAPERS THE divorce of Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams and his wife, Aryn, has exploded into an ugly war — with their two toddlers stuck in the middle of the bitter battle. In recent court papers, furious Jesse, 35, who plays Dr. Jackson Avery on the hit medical drama, accuses Aryn of blocking him from seeing daughter Sadie, 3, and 20-month-old son Maceo! Jesse says his wife unfairly “restricts my time with the children and decides when and for how long I may have them. “She has rejected ... each and every request I have made to have the children sleep over at my residence.” Now he’s asking for a “court order for a joint physical custody parenting plan” to stop his ex from “being the sole, unregulated gatekeeper” of…

BOYHOOD star Lorelei Linklater, 24 — daughter of the flick’s director Richard Linklater — was sentenced to three years of deferred probation and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine after pleading guilty to cocaine possession. Lorelei was arrested after a 2016 car wreck in Texas by a trooper who says she “had a blank look on her face.” A search of her vehicle turned up pills and a bag of cocaine. Her lawyer says she “made a very simple mistake.”…

MODEL Miranda Kerr has surrendered $8 MILLION in jewelry to U.S. authorities after being swept up in a massive scandal rocking some of Hollywood’s biggest stars! The mega-pricey baubles were given to the former Victoria’s Secret Angel by besotted financier Jho Low, who is allegedly at the center of an international scam that saw billions of dollars stolen from a Malaysian state fund. In addition to Miranda, 34 — who’s married to Snapchat billionaire Evan Spiegel — actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Forest Whitaker and Casey Affleck have been linked to the shady financier, who reportedly received illicit payments from a government fund set up by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. Mark Wahlberg and Mad Men hunk Jon Hamm are also being targeted by the feds as they seek to…

THE body of artist Salvador Dali was ordered exhumed by a Spanish judge — to verify the surreal claim of a woman who says she’s the painter’s love child! Since 2007, Pilar Abel, 61, has being trying to prove she’s the product of Dali’s affair with one of his maids. She demanded his grave be opened to determine her paternity after prior DNA tests were inconclusive. The artist, who died in 1989, had no children with wife and muse Gala. Abel insists her mother’s relationship with Dali “developed into clandestine love.” “I am only missing the mustache,” she says of her physical resemblance to the legend. If Pilar is Dali’s sole heir, her lawyer argues she’d have the right to 25 percent of his $335 million estate.…

SENIORS need to think twice about taking an aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke! Results of a decade-long survey show 10 percent of patients over age 75 who previously had a stroke or heart attack — and were still taking aspirin — were rushed to the hospital for internal bleeding. The results confirmed what scientists feared: Even one daily tablet of the common drug — which is frequently recommended to deal with heart issues — can put elderly users at an increased risk. “We have known for some time that aspirin increases the risk of bleeding for elderly patients,” says researcher Peter Rothwell. “But our new study gives us a much clearer understanding of the size of the increased risk of the severity and consequences of bleeds.” The…

RESEARCHERS are on the verge of developing a vaccine to protect patients against high cholesterol! The new development would cut the risk of heart disease — and possibly eliminate the need for statin drugs currently used to combat cholesterol. Human trials have begun for the injection, which will consist of an initial dose followed by an annual booster shot. An initial study conducted on mice at Leiden University in the Netherlands found the vaccine, known as AT04A, cut cholesterol by 53 percent — and as a result reduced damage to blood vessels by a stunning 64 percent. The medication would be used by high-risk patients with a history of heart attacks, and those concerned about the effects of statins. “The vaccine works by boosting the way the body naturally clears…

Despite seeing the agony of drug abuse firsthand during her childhood, Lorna later had her own addiction issues — and doesn’t sugarcoat her problems.…

Y&R HUNK’S CO-STAR CRUSH WHEN Joshua Morrow (Nick) first joined The Young and the Restless 23 years ago, he was hoping there would be a romantic connection between his character and Jess Walton’s Jill. “I was about a week into my job here when I developed a massive crush on Jess,” he says. “She’s got that husky voice and she exudes sexiness.” He tried using the press to get his message to the top brass. “I remember giving a few interviews where I was asked, ‘What story would you like to tell about Nick?’ And I would say, ‘How about a Mrs. Robinson thing with Jill?’ It never quite happened, but I would have really appreciated it. I think there’s still something strikingly sexy about her.” DAYS STAR SLIMS DOWN DAYS…

FLAT broke party animal Charlie Sheen is so desperate for cash, he’s peddling sports memorabilia to pay off sex partners he bedded despite having the deadly HIV virus! The 51-year-old weasel, who put his $2 million baseball collection on the auction block, was just clobbered with another lawsuit charging he hid his infection from a sex partner. Identified as Jane Doe in court papers, the woman insists the twisted train wreck said he was “fine” when asked if he had any sexual diseases! But after a steamy romp, the coldhearted cad callously confessed he was HIV positive and threw a bag of pills on the bed, saying they would protect her. He also boasted he was “noble” for even telling her. Doe has sued him for battery, intentional infliction of…

PETER FALK played one of TV’s most beloved characters — the disheveled, deceptively brilliant hero of detective series Columbo — but he couldn’t escape his creation even when off the set. This candid 1976 photo was snapped in France while Falk was promoting the flick A Woman Under the Influence — and he looks like he’s STILL wearing Lieutenant Frank Columbo’s trademark rumpled rain coat! As the L.A. investigator, Falk used his signature squint — the result of a glass eye after cancer surgery at age three — rambling monologues about his never-seen wife’s wisdom and seemingly confused questions to outfox diabolical murder suspects in Los Angeles. Falk went on to star in The In-Laws and The Princess Bride — but never achieved the heights of his defining role.…

GLOBE EXCLUSIVE THE MOST EXCLUSIVES EVERY WEEK!

Moneybags Mel, 61, is shelling out a staggering $12,000 for each dose of living tissue shot into his bloodstream. So far, the Lethal Weapon star has had two injections — but “he’s desperate to live forever” and to get another treatment “once every six months,” says a friend. Gibson swears his dad, Hutton, is living proof the therapy works. Hutton had crippling health issues before beginning the injections in 2013. He is now a spry 98 — and can walk without a cane! “Mel reckons it’s saved his dad’s life,” says the…

THE Duchess of York has made a truly sick confession — she wished she suffered from bulimia like her former sister-inlaw, Diana, Princess of Wales! Sarah Ferguson, 57 — who admits to hoarding food in Buckingham Palace “like a squirrel hiding her acorns” — ballooned to a royally shocking 220 pounds during her marriage to Prince Andrew, which ended in 1996. The Duchess of Pork, as she was dubbed by the press, says in those years she longed to be “as beautiful and thin as Princess Diana.” “I squashed my feelings through food,” admits the mother of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. “I was a binge eater. I never could get bulimia because I just didn’t have that mental state to go that far, but I always wished I could. “My body and mind…

KATE’S BABY IS A BAD BOY KATE BECKINSALE’s boy toy, comic MATT RIFE, is being blasted as anti-gay and anti-black for his nasty tweets. One edgy barb reads: “#ifihadasuperpower it’d be to jump high and run fast … I’d be called ‘Black Guy.’” But that hasn’t stopped 43-yearold Kate, mom of 18-year-old daughter LILY, from cuddling with Matt, 21. And Matt doesn’t seem to mind that Kate is TWO YEARS OLDER than his mom! Does she feed him formula? RAPPER IS HOT FOR HELEN! HELEN MIRREN may be 71, but she’s still a sexpot.

FROM Shakespeare’s greatest heroes to one of Harry Potter’s professors, Kenneth Branagh, 56, continues his successful and varied acting career with this summer’s World War II thriller, Dunkirk. He’s also a talented director, having helmed 19 films and counting. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about Kenneth. 1 He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1960 to working-class parents and grew up in poverty. 2 Moving to Berkshire, England, at age 9, he acquired an English accent to avoid bullying. 3At 24, he became the youngest actor in the Royal Shakespeare Company to ever play the lead in Shakespeare’s Henry V. 4 He was one of the finalists for the role of Mozart in 1984’s Amadeus, but the director preferred to go with American actor Tom Hulce. 5…

BABY WHATTA BUST! SEIZED! 55 LBS.OF COCAINE WORTH $2 MILLION A LOS ANGELES day care center that offered blocks and nap time to kids — and cocaine, meth and heroin to older customers — has been busted! Homeowner Felipe Talamante — whose wife reportedly operated the unlicensed kiddie care — was arrested on charges he attempted to sell a whopping 44 pounds of the drug on May 25 to an undercover agent posing as a buyer. Talamante, 48, arranged the deal with happy children playing right outside the house and a two-year-old tot being picked up, say investigators! The value of the drugs is estimated to be about $430,000, but the street value is over $2 million. “I’ve been in this business longer than I care to admit,” says L.A.…

GLOBE SPECIAL REPORT $875 MILLION BOOTY STASHED IN BUNKER TREASURE BURIED HERE!

And in another blockbuster disclosure, the source charges the corrupt couple “amassed the riches through bribery and crooked deals” over decades. Officially, the Clintons claim a personal net worth in excess of $240 million. But the bank source claims they have more than THREE TIMES that amount in an “enormous … cavernous” bunker crammed with illicit…

THE INSIDE SCOOP EVERY WEEK! STRESSED to the max after his jailbird son was caught using drugs on parole, cancer survivor Michael Douglas is facing the return of the killer disease, a medical expert warns. New York internist Dr. Stuart Fischer, who hasn’t treated the star, says “stress can definitely be a factor in causing a recurrence of cancer since it suppresses the immune system,” which can spark “a relapse” with fatal consequences! Wall Street star Michael, 72, who battled stage four throat cancer in 2010, was in “agony” after learning his son Cameron, 38, might be shipped back to prison after violating his parole. Freed in the summer of 2016 after nearly seven years behind bars for selling methamphetamine and other drug crimes, Cameron recently tested positive for marijuana…

BRILLIANT but tortured movie star Daniel Day- Lewis has quit showbiz at the height of his career — because he can’t handle the pain of his method acting madness. Instead of taking the agonizingly deep emotional plunge into his roles for flicks like Lincoln, Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood, the three-time Oscar winner plans to become a high fashion dressmaker! After the 60-year-old star dropped the bombshell he “will no longer be working as an actor,” a source close to him reveals: “He is an emotionally fragile method actor who dove so deeply into his work that it tore him apart! “He thrives on his characters’ pain — until he can’t take it anymore.” Daniel’s tormented performance as cerebral palsy-ridden Christy Brown in My Left Foot…

AGING Friends star Courteney Cox regrets messing with cosmetic surgery — and has sworn off the procedures that wrecked her former fresh-faced beauty! The 53-year-old actress blames her poor choices on Hollywood’s obsession with staying young. “It got me in trouble. I was trying so hard to keep up, and I actually made things worse,” explains Courteney, admitting she slid down the slippery slope of fillers and injectables until she no longer looked like herself. “You have no idea because it’s gradual until you go, ‘Oh s---, this doesn’t look right,’” she says. “I’ve had all my fillers dissolved. I’m as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person that I was.” The mother of…

SINCE news broke of the alleged sexual shenanigans on the set of Bachelor in Paradise, GLOBE spies have buzzed that the whole sordid scandal was nothing but a publicity stunt to boost ratings! “Reality TV contestants go into these shows with their wide eyes open, and nearly every company has them sign an indemnity clause to protect producers,” notes one snitch. “That way if someone regrets a hookup or gets a disease, nobody can hold the show responsible.” Noting Warner Bros. has restarted the show, another insider says bigwigs “found nothing incriminating on tape and no contestant complained about what went down. Staffers made all the noise.” And heavyweight lawyer Marty Singer, who represents the Bachelor contestant at the center of the supposed scandal, Corinne Olympios, confirms the show stirred…

DIED LOOKING A GIMMICKY hunt for buried treasure has left two men dead — and cops are begging the New Mexico author behind the milliondollar quest to call off the lethal get-rich-quick contest. New Mexico State Police Chief Pete Kassetas says Forrest Fenn, 86, the amateur archaeologist and successful art dealer who thought up the hunt, is “putting lives at risk” and should “stop this nonsense.” The outcry comes after Colorado pastor Paris Wallace, 52, disappeared in June while searching for the loot — until his body was found floating in the Rio Grande River. Wallace’s quest was spurred on by Fenn, who claims he buried an ornate chest filled with riches worth $2 million and published clues to its location in a poem included in his selfpublished book, The…

LEGENDARY tennis bad boy John McEnroe, 58, was aced by pregnant Serena Williams — after slamming the court queen, charging she would be “like No. 700 in the world” if she played on the men’s circuit! Serena showed the retired, bookpromoting champ how to take the high road, tweeting, “I adore and respect you but please keep me out of your statements that are not factually based. “Respect me and my privacy as I’m trying to have a baby. Good day sir.” ›› How come when Kanye [West] acts like an idiot he gets a gold record, but when I act like an idiot, I get a police record? — Lindsay Lohan…
