STAR TREK legend William Shatner is ditching his wife because he believes his beloved horses want him to put her out to pasture, say sources close to the space case. The aged actor, 88, filed to end his marriage to Elizabeth Shatner earlier this month — 18 years after they tied the knot. Though he found fame playing Capt. James T. Kirk in the popular sci-fi franchise, in real life Shatner’s hobbies are more down-to-earth. The dedicated rider and avid outdoorsman even wrote the book Spirit of the Horse, celebrating the animals he says “have played an essential role in my life.” But an insider claims the self-proclaimed horse whisperer thinks he can actually communicate with his steeds, “not through words, but through senses, and he’s telling friends they’ve been…

MORTAL enemies Jennifer Aniston and Maleficent movie witch Angelina Jolie are set for a poisonous showdown this coming awards season, Hollywood insiders say. The jealous rivals will come face-to-face as they mingle with movie bigwigs at the Golden Globe Awards next month, say sources, who predict it’ll be ugly. Vamp Angie notoriously stole Brad Pitt away from his wife Jennifer some 15 years ago. The Picture Perfect beauty evened the score by hanging out with Pitt while he was in the middle of his nasty divorce from Angie. Now Brad and Jen will be a red-hot couple again at the Jan. 5 Globes ceremony. She’s nominated for Best Actress for her work in The Morning Show, and Brad’s up for Best Supporting Actor for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.…

SCANDAL-TARRED Prince Andrew is being investigated for double dealing by secretly promoting the business of a tax-dodging banker pal while he was working as Britain’s roving overseas envoy. Shocking revelations show the financier, David “Spotty” Rowland, gave Randy Andy the use of his $53 million private jet at least five times while the prince worked as a royal ambassador until 2011, as well as in the years after. Who paid the $10,000-per-hour cost of the luxury plane, which Andrew took because he was reportedly unhappy with older craft supplied by Britain’s Royal Air Force, is still unknown, but it’s unlikely much moolah, if any, departed from the prince’s pockets. In October, the craft zoomed Andrew to the United Arab Emirates, where he was seen cutting a ribbon for the opening…

THE marriage plans of disgraced Prince Andrew’s daughter Beatrice are in chaos — and she even had to cancel her engagement party because of her dirty dad’s scandalous ties to late sex fiend Jeffrey Epstein! The 31-year-old royal, now flashing an $80,000 ring from fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 36, a real estate developer from a moneybags Italian family, called off her Dec. 18 bash at London’s ritzy Chiltern Firehouse hotel, fearing it would turn into a circus because of her father’s stunning fall from grace. “Just as her friends feared, Prince Andrew’s shattered reputation is affecting his daughter Beatrice’s wedding plans,” reports London Daily Mail celeb columnist Charlotte Griffiths. “Bea has had to change the date of her engagement party … because of fears there[‘d] be too many photographers outside…

AMERICA’S military brass is hiding a chilling secret: The nation’s armed forces have been infiltrated by terrorist sleeper cells, and the recent bloodbath at a Florida naval base is just the opening salvo in a wave of horrific attacks, worried intelligence sources tell GLOBE. In a stunning revelation, intelligence experts reveal the Pentagon has dropped the ball on background checks allowing Muslim radicals, including Saudi Arabian shooter Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, to crawl through a loophole that allows foreign troops to train on U.S. bases. On Dec. 6, U.S. Naval Academy grad Joshua Watson, 23, Airman Mohammed Haitham, 19, and Airman Apprentice Cameron Walters, 21, paid the ultimate price for the Pentagon’s failure when Royal Saudi Air Force flight trainee Alshamrani used a handgun to open fire inside a classroom at…
