A DUCK Dynasty dog chomped down on Kay Robertson’s kisser, mauling the reality TV clan matriarch’s mouth! Shocking photos reveal Miss Kay’s dog, Bobo, split her top lip and gouged a gash in the bottom one! The former reality star, 73, was rushed to a hospital in Monroe, La., where doctors stitched her up and gave her antibiotics and skin cream. For now Phil Robertson’s wife can only drink through a straw. The mother of Alan, 56, Jase, 51, Willie, 49, and Jep, 43, says she will need four weeks to heal, and still loves her pooch to pieces.

ROYAL family outcasts Prince Harry and Meghan have been caught in another shameful lie — the redhaired rebel’s pathetic claim that he was “cut off” without a cent after they fled to America has been exposed as a whopper by the British government! Sources say an official audit of Clarence House, the offices of Harry and William’s father, Prince Charles, reveals that their old man shelled out $6.25 million to support his two sons last year — and Harry’s share was a “substantial sum” of that total. The audit shamefully shatters the 36-year-old Duke of Sussex’s crybaby claim during a March CBS TV interview that Charles “financially cut off” him and Meghan in the “first quarter” of 2020 after they rejected their royal family jobs and bolted to America to…

POWERLESS pawn Britney Spears is waging a desperate battle for her two sons — and her own life, say insiders, who claim child custody concerns are the real reason the songbird asked a court to free her from being under the thumb of conservatorship after 13 years. Stripped of kids Sean Preston and Jayden James, now 15 and 14, forced to use birth control so she can’t have more children and banned from touching her earnings or $60 million fortune without the okay of conservators, the 39-year-old Baby One More Time singer is fighting to be freed from a decade of slavery to people who use her as a cash cow, sources say. She’s frantic to gain back custody of her teen sons from ex-hubby Kevin Federline, who she charges…

SMOKING dope has been linked to suicidal thoughts among young adults, according to new research. The study of more than 281,000 adults aged 18 to 24 from 2008 to 2019 found “marked increases in both cannabis use and suicidality,” say researchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Even dopers who said they didn’t get high every day — or fewer than 300 days a year — “were more likely to have suicidal ideation and plan or attempt suicide than those who did not use the drug at all,” the researchers found. “Those associations remained regardless of whether someone was also experiencing depression.” Among people who reported experiencing a major depressive episode in the past year, 53 percent of folks who got high every day had suicidal thoughts, compared to…

AFTER miraculously cheating death when a blood vessel exploded in her brain, folk music songbird Joni Mitchell is back on top with a No. 1 album. The 77-year-old Both Sides, Now singer’s Blue album is tops on iTunes and Amazon, but the real wonder is that she’s alive to celebrate. Six years ago, the Big Yellow Taxi singer couldn’t talk or walk after a devastating brain aneurysm, but she’s slowly fought back. “Recovery has been slow and tough at times, but Joni’s made it thus far and she’s feeling good and back on her feet,” spills an insider. “She can get around better these days and people say it’s her sheer willpower. “Up until a year ago, she was still struggling to walk and sometimes just getting up out of…

OH, MAMA! Cardi B revealed she’s pregnant again by hitting the stage in a bedazzled leotard that put her bodacious baby bump on display! The chart-topper, 28, twerked her way through a potty-mouthed performance alongside Migos, her hubby Offset’s hiphop trio, at the BET Awards on June 27. The WAP rapper also shared a photo of her tremendous tummy on Instagram with the caption “#2!” The baby will be the second child for Cardi and Offset, who welcomed daughter Kulture in July 2018 — ten months after they’d secretly tied the knot. But the road to romance hasn’t been smooth for the combative couple. Less than six months after Kulture’s birth, Cardi announced she and Offset, 29, were through — amid rumors he’d stepped out on his hitmaking honey! However,…

WILL SMITH and TOMMY LEE JONES are the Men in Black who patrol the extraterrestrials that walk among us! The rollicking 1997 sci-fi flick originally was supposed to be set underground, but director Barry Sonnenfeld changed it to New York City — figuring jaded Gothamites were used to seeing alien behavior! He used real locations that already looked out of this world — like filming the entrance to agent headquarters outside a giant ventilation fan for the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel!…

VICTORIA’S Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has a shocking reason for not tying the knot with action star and her baby’s daddy, Jason Statham — at this point in their 11-year relationship it seems “silly,” pals dish. “Of course someday Rosie would like to be Jason’s wife,” says a source. “But when she thinks of putting on a long white dress and walking down the aisle like a blushing bride, the whole idea seems silly after she’s already spent nearly a third of her life with her man.” Six years into their relationship, Transporter hunk Jason, now 53, actually proposed to the 34-year-old catwalker and slipped a five-carat, $350G sparkler on her finger. But work and other issues kept getting in the way of her waltzing down the aisle with the…

WHEN half of the 12-story Champlain Towers South Condo building collapsed like a pancake in a matter of seconds, 88-year-old Esther Gorfinkel was one of the lucky who made it out alive. Esther, who’d lived on the fifth floor in the Surfside, Fla., luxury residence since it was built in 1981, had felt a shaking shortly after 1 a.m. on June 24, but chalked it up to bad weather thundering in from the ocean in the back — until an announcement warned over an intercom, in English and then in Spanish — to get out now! The first emergency exit she reached was mangled shut so she rushed to another and found herself with about 15 others clambering down the stairs. Luckily, they weren’t in the section where about 70…

COP-KILLING socialite Jasmine Hartin was busted again after attacking her moneybags hubby for refusing her access to their children! The mother of four-yearold twins was out on $15,000 bail in Belize when she chased her partner, Andrew, the son of British billionaire Lord Michael Ashcroft, through a ritzy resort owned by his family. Jasmine, 32, filmed the incident on her cellphone and can be heard saying, “Why won’t you let me see the kids, Andrew? Why won’t you let me see the children?” As GLOBE previously reported, Hartin confessed to killing top Belize officer Police Supt. Henry Jemmott, claiming he was teaching her how to handle his Glock pistol when it accidentally fired. According to a criminal complaint, she and the 42-year-old cop had been “socializing” and drinking alone on…

JOHN F. Kennedy Jr. was murdered by the same monster who assassinated his father — kill-crazy Cuban dictator Fidel Castro! That’s the explosive conclusion of a top secret CIA dossier reviewed by GLOBE on the 22nd anniversary of the fatal plane crash off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. Intelligence operative Peter Davidson, who investigated JFK Jr.’s shocking July 16, 1999, death, shared the dossier with GLOBE and broke his silence about the murder conspiracy in a chilling no-holdsbarred interview. “It’s time for the truth to come out and the cover-up to end,” explains Davidson, who asked GLOBE to use a pseudonym to conceal his true identity. “John F. Kennedy Jr.’s Piper Saratoga was blown out of the sky on Castro’s orders. The bomb was planted by a Cuban operative based…

SALTY-tongued Sharon Osbourne may get the last laugh as The Talk has hit a new ratings low — nearly three months after she was accused of being a racist and left the CBS show, sources dish. According to Nielsen data, the all-gal gabfest was topped by rival The View during the week of June 7 to 11. Insiders say before Sharon’s departure, The Talk had attracted 1.5 million daily — but by mid-June had lost nearly 20 percent of its audience!…

ACTRESS Jodie Sweetin is hitting a sour patch with ex-husband Morty Coyle — he’s fighting her bid to slash the $2,800 monthly child support payments she sends him! The Fuller House alum, 39, filed court papers to shrink the payments, saying her income is in tatters from the pandemic shutdown and the end of her Netflix series. But Coyle, 52, shot back by claiming the longtime TV trouper is making out just fine — and that she earned $200,000 in 2020 alone and should keep his pockets fuller, not emptier! In June 2012, after barely a year of marriage, the couple split, agreeing to joint legal and physical custody of daughter Beatrix, now 10.…

GLOBEÕS NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE AFTER more than a decade of deception and fakery, Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kim is FINALLY getting real — admitting she owes her success to a raunchy sex tape! Only, Kim’s crying like a victim, not a calculating courtesan who used the X-rated snooze to get rich. Surprisingly, the 40-year-old mom of four recently confessed she doesn’t think the TV series — that’s made gazillions and spun off fashion and cosmetic lines for her and her no-talent clan — would have made it if a five-year-old tape showing her doing the dirty with then rapper-beau Ray J wasn’t leaked in 2007. For once, we have to agree with Kim. She and her sisters Khloé and Kourtney and half sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner have…

SMITTEN Jason Sudeikis was caught on camera looking cozy with galpal Keeley Hazell in NYC — nearly four months after rumors first emerged about the cutup being hot and heavy with the busty British babe! Smiling Jason, 45, was spotted strolling in the Big Apple with his arm around the beautiful blonde, 34. The couple went public with their new romance in June nearly nine months after Jason announced the end of his seven-year engagement to baby mama Olivia Wilde, 37, who’s since taken up with Watermelon Sugar singer Harry Styles, 27. Jason, who shares kids Otis, 7, and Daisy, 4, with the Don’t Worry Darling director, first met Keeley when they co-starred in 2014’s Horrible Bosses 2. But eagle-eyed fans suspected the old friends were dating — and possibly living…

HARMON IS MARKED MAN AT NCIS! In Hollywood, the show must go on, so everyone’s replaceable — even NCIS headliner MARK HARMON! “We take it year by year with Mark, we’d love to have him as long as he’d like to be here,” says CBS head honcho KELLY KAHL. “Even in this past season, he might have been light, so we’re happy to work around his schedule.” But network suits are hedging their bets by hiring GARY COLE, 64, in a series overhaul in case Mark, 69, completely disembarks! While they’re not technically “replacing” Mark, who plays Special Agent Gibbs, Gary’s “expected to help fill the void left by Harmon’s reduced on-screen presence next season,” when the kingpin’s appearances are cut down to “a handful of episodes,” according to an…

MORE than 42,000 pounds of pistachios were stolen from a company in California — but detectives say they’ve cracked the case and nabbed the nutjob responsible for the $100,000 heist! The Touchstone Pistachio Company in San Joaquin Valley discovered the shell game during an audit and told officials 21 tons of pistachio had been purloined! The Tulare County Sheriff’s Department says they found the swiped snacks in a tractor trailer in Delano, where they “were being moved from 2,000 pound sacks into smaller bags for resale.” Trucker Alberto Montemayor, 34, was arrested and released on bail, but has yet to be formally charged. The sheriff’s office says the investigation is still ongoing and reports the recovered pistachios — minus roughly 2,000 pounds — were returned to the rightful owner.…

RAGING Russell Crowe’s flowering fondness for Britney Theriot has tamed the burly beast, insiders say Sources tell GLOBE Crowe, 57, is a new man now that he’s starry-eyed over the 30-year-old actress — and he’s even refusing to take angry roles while he continues his transformation into a marshmallow! “Russell knows he has a problem with his reputation and cringes when people make jokes about his famous temper,” spills an insider. “Britney has brought him down to earth and he’s much calmer. The difference is night and day!” Crowe’s catalog of rage-aholic capers includes an assault arrest in 2005 after throwing a phone at a Manhattan hotel concierge. He reportedly settled a resulting lawsuit for six figures. But one of the signs of the revamped Russell, sources say, is his…
