HOLLYWOOD tough guy George Clooney is part of a real-life crime family with a chilling history of brutal violence, drugs and armed robbery, an explosive GLOBE special investigation reveals. Shockingly, the Ocean’s Eleven gangster’s actual cousins — Tyler Clooney, 20, and his mom, Kelly, 40 — are jailbirds with rap sheets featuring arrests for heroin trafficking, burglary, theft and wanton endangerment in the family’s home state, Kentucky. Lawmen say the violent rogues are notorious in Louisville. Sources tell GLOBE the 57-year-old actor and his British lawyer wife, Amal, 41, give wide berth to their embarrassing relatives during their frequent visits to George’s childhood hometown, Augusta. But an insider says “it’s hard to escape” the scandalous arrests, which have made local TV news. “Many put two and two together with the…

SHORTLY before drinking himself to death, tragic soap star Kristoff St. John confessed the only way he would get over the devastating suicide of his son four years ago was to “join” him on the other side! The heartbroken 52-year-old, who played Neil Winters on The Young and the Restless for three decades, was found dead of alcohol poisoning in his Woodland Hills, Calif., home on Feb. 3, lawmen say. His model-fiancée, Kseniya Mikhaleva, 25, who was back in Moscow studying for a business degree, says he sounded “sad” when she spoke with him the day before his death. His first wife, boxer Mia St. John, noted he may have drunk himself to death on purpose, saying the 2014 suicide of their 24-year-old son, Julian, had pushed Kristoff “to the…

SUPERMODEL Christie Brinkley’s long career in the spotlight has seen her snag top magazine covers and lucrative beauty campaigns, but the blond bombshell still has one big regret! “I didn’t do Saturday Night Live when they asked me,” she admits. “God, what was I thinking?” The confession came as the leggy catwalk queen marked the milestone birthday of 65. But kooky Christie insists, “That’s just my biological age. My spirit age is totally different.”…

TAKEN hunk Liam Neeson has triggered a firestorm of outrage — and calls for him to be banned from movies — following a shocking confession that he went on a kill-crazy racist hunt after a member of his Ireland-based family said she was raped by a black man. The 66-year-old action star says he’s now “ashamed” that for a week he stalked black neighborhoods with a club, “hoping I’d be approached by somebody — so I could kill him.” One fan tweeted that Liam was a “disgusting, sickening racist” for blaming all black men for the crime of one — and others insist his career is now toast.…

ANGELINA JOLIE is being eaten alive by loneliness and a vicious virus that’s stripped the meat from her bones and left the Hollywood beauty weighing a frail 93 pounds! Sources tell GLOBE the actress is consumed with regrets over her bitter breakup with Brad Pitt — and his new romance with her rival Charlize Theron has destroyed her appetite while her disease leaves the star unable to hold down food. Now friends fear the end is near for the 43-year-old mother of six! “Angie can’t eat, and she can’t sleep,” tattles a family insider. “She’s losing weight at an alarming rate and suffering from insomnia, as well as anxiety. She’s a bundle of nerves and worries constantly!” Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a longevity expert who has not treated Jolie, tells GLOBE,…
