DISGRACED former Today show anchor Matt Lauer is nursing an ugly grudge after former close pal and co-host Katie Couric shafted him by publishing their private emails! Couric had supported the 64-year-old following his November 2017 firing when female staffers accused the creep of sex attacks and predatory behavior. But Lauer lost his “trust” in Katie over what she put in her 2021 memoir, Going There, says an insider. “He was really upset by Katie Couric’s book. She shared their private text messages and she semi-slammed him. It made him lose trust,” spills an insider. Lauer lost his entire life over the sex scandal, even though he claims his encounters with gals were consensual. Woman staffers claimed he preyed on them for over two decades, using his powerful position as…

TRAGIC singer Aaron Carter’s ashes will be partially scattered in the Florida Keys with those of his late sister, Leslie, who fatally overdosed on prescription pills nearly a decade ago! The tattooed train wreck, 34, had long struggled with mental illness and substance abuse before his lifeless body was found in the tub in his California crib on Nov. 5. Mom Jane says some of Aaron and Leslie’s reserved remains will be buried with her upon her death.…

TOOTHY Marie Osmond has decided the only celeb worthy of playing her in a biopic is Selena Gomez — because they were both child stars! “She has been through a lot of the things I’ve been through,” says Marie, 63. “I think Selena Gomez would be amazing!” Marie famously had her own TV variety show with brother Donny in the late ’70s — while Selena, 30, had early roles on Barney and Friends and Wizards of Waverly Place.…

TORTOISES actually recognize faces and show “spontaneous attraction” to some people’s looks, according to scientists. However, the critters aren’t smart enough to know how to swim. CREEPY Katy Perry once confessed she collects celebrity hair samples — and keeps cuttings from Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. NATIONAL Park rangers warn climbing the 1,200-foot tall Devils Tower in Wyoming is pure hell. The landmark is haunted by poison ivy, aggressive falcons, snakes, spiny plants and wasps! AMERICA’s 1950s nuclear weapons nerds gave the first hydrogen bombs dropped at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific odd names, including the Alarm Clock, Runt I and The Shrimp, which weighed 23,500 pounds. YOUR eyelashes last about 150 days, but each hair on your head can live for up to six years.…

LONELY Jennifer Aniston is reaching out to her two half-brothers John and Alex in hopes of forging strong family ties now that she’s lost both parents, sources say. “With the death of her father last month, Jen now considers herself an orphan,” says a friend. “The fact she’s single and hasn’t got a significant other magnifies the fact she’s alone.” Mom Nancy Dow died in 2016 and Days of Our Lives star dad John Aniston, 89, passed Nov. 11, leaving 63-year-old brother John Melick and 33-year-old Alex Aniston as her only kin. Jen has remained in touch with Melick, an assistant director and son of Nancy and her first husband, but has had little to do with Alex, who was born during John’s marriage to second wife Sherry Rooney. Heavily…

VALERIE BERTINELLI is euphoric she’s finally rid of second husband TOM VITALE even though it came at a cost — a $2.2 million onetime cash payout. And it was worth every penny, she says. Her ex is also getting kicked out of the Malibu home they once shared. The former One Day at a Time cutie, 62, is commemorating the finalized settlement as “the second happiest day of my life.” Valerie, whose first husband was late rocker EDDIE VAN HALEN, father to her only child, musician WOLFGANG VAN HALEN, 31, went on to wed Tom, 59, on New Year’s Day 2011 after several years of dating. But the marriage soured like spoiled milk, with the Food Network star legally separating from the financial planner a year ago. Filing for divorce…

BEAUTIFUL Zoe Saldana has built a career playing badass babes — including Lt. Nyota Uhura in the Star Trek film series, Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy flicks and Neytiri in Avatar. Her box office blockbusters have grossed more than $11 billion worldwide — and Zoe, 44, is poised to add to that astonishing total with the recently released Avatar: The Way of Water. She’s reprised her role as the blue-skinned alien heroine in the new movie, which is the second installment of James Cameron’s sci-fi franchise.

HARD-LIVING Michael Madsen’s hit hard times, according to sources who say he’s lost his matinee idol looks. The gravel-voiced, 6-foot-2, 192-pound toughie, who starred in classic hits Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs and Thelma & Louise, shocked the crowd with his haggard appearance at the Arpa International Film Awards in L.A. on Nov. 20. “You had to blink your eyes twice to even recognize it was Michael,” says an eyewitness. “He looked like he’s aged 20 years almost overnight.” Madsen, 65, has battled the bottle — and tragedy — for years. Following a stint in court-ordered rehab for a 2012 DUI bust, he was clobbered with another DUI conviction in 2019, spent four days in the slammer and is on a five-year probation sentence. Then last January, son Hudson, 26, the…

MOUTHY Whoopi Goldberg has lit a fire under Keke Palmer’s sex life! Keke, 29, reveals the cantankerous 67-year-old The View co-host convinced her to stop making her love life all about performing a “service” for her bed-mate through “porn simulation sex” — and to start putting her own pleasure first! “My identity with sex — it was always based upon, ‘Oh, I just gotta do this service,’” explains the Disney Channel alum. “But I never actually had a happy ending from it, if I’m being, you know, lightly frank.” But a guest appearance on the gabfest gave Keke the sex advice she needed when Whoopi said: “Please just start with pleasing your-self!” Since then, says Keke — who is hot and heavy with Darius Jackson, 29 — she’s had happier endings!…

MONACO’S chubby Prince Albert has slimmed down in a desperate attempt to look more hunky for his runaway wife, Princess Charlene. The 64-year-old royal “wants her to feel genuinely attracted to him and not have to pretend in public when he puts his arm around her,” tattles a source. “He’s doing everything he can to boost his mojo — flossing his teeth every night, choosing nice colognes, working out with a trainer, and laying off the bread, cheese and wines.” As GLOBE reported, the 44-year-old former Olympic backstroker abandoned her twins and hubby for her native South Africa for ten months in 2021 after a woman accused Albert of fathering her 16-year-old daughter. Albert denies the girl is his, but if true, he was cheating with the woman in 2006 while…

SEX siren Kim Kardashian is humiliated after hearing ex-hubby Kanye West has been flashing her nudes to total strangers, according to sources who say the reality TV diva is freaked she’ll be targeted by revenge porn! The 42-year-old mom’s fears exploded following recent claims by West’s former Yeezy brand staffers that the rapper and fashion designer, 45, passed her private nudes around the Adidas offices during his reign of terror at the athletic brand. “Kim’s so embarrassed,” tattles a tipster. “Now she’s spinning out over what he might do next. But Kanye is beyond control.” This isn’t the first time the big-booty babe has been caught in a sex scandal. Her X-rated romp with exbeau Ray J became a video sensation that launched her career in 2007. Kim insists the…

DISGRACED Prince Andrew has been clobbered with a new humiliation — the royal bad boy’s been stripped of his taxpayer-funded police protection! Sources say the shamed Duke of York is fit to be tied after learning ministers refused to finance his $3.6 million security team in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein teen sex slave scandal, which resulted in a multi-million-dollar payment to his accuser Virginia Giuffre. Insisting he did nothing wrong — despite the court settlement — the livid 62-year-old intends to appeal the decision, according to sources who say Andrew has little chance of success without the backing of his big brother, King Charles. But Charles has already banished the sex creep from royal life — and their late mother Queen Elizabeth’s former security chief Dai Davies insists the “snotty…

TRAGIC Tiger Woods confesses he’s so crippled from a terrible car crash he can’t walk a golf course and he’s being betrayed by his own body! “I can hit whatever shot you want, I just can’t walk,” says the 46-year-old winner of 15 major tournaments. Tiger says he can still shoot “four, five, six, seven under par at home” but needs a golf cart to complete his round. That’s a devastating problem because pro golf tournament rules require players to walk the 18-hole course — unless they have a rarely granted special exception. The sports great is such a physical mess, he was forced to withdraw on Nov. 28 from the Hero World Challenge, a tournament he sponsored, due to painful plantar fasciitis in his damaged right leg. Now, he’s…

THE medical hits keep coming for pop star Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey, as she revealed she has a cyst “the size of an apple” on her ovaries — not a baby bump! “It’s painful and achy and makes me feel nauseous and bloated and crampy and emotional,” she posts. In March, the 26-year-old model suffered a small blood clot in her brain that caused stroke-like symptoms. Meanwhile, Justin, 28, was struck by Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which partially paralyzed his face.…

SMITTEN Helen Mirren is still gushing over former flame Liam Neeson nearly four decades after their split — and admits she loves him “deeply” to this day!

A MONSTER mom — who admitted stealing $5,000 from bighearted Americans by claiming her 11-year-old daughter was at death’s door — has been sentenced to at least four years behind bars for the heartless scam! Ohio horror Lindsey Abbuhl, 35, pleaded guilty to child endangerment and theft, and was also ordered to pay more than $8,500 to victims who fell for her twisted tale on a GoFundMe campaign she called Rylee’s Warriors, which has since been shut down. Meanwhile, Lindsey’s apparently healthy daughter — who doctors say is NOT dying from a brain-ravaging central nervous system disease — has spent nearly a quarter of her young life in counseling to “process her own death,” court papers charge! The damning documents report a “medical professional indicates there is no evidence to support…

TROUBLED child star Collin Gosselin blames his parents’ hit reality show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, for wrecking his family and destroying his relationship with his mother. The TLC series about the Gosselins raising their large brood ran from 2007 to 2017 — although the parents split in 2009 and things between the couple got very nasty. Even today, there’s bad blood between Jon and his ex-wife, who now lives in North Carolina and sold off the clan’s now famous 24-acre Pennsylvania spread. Collin, now 18, says Kate put him in an institution for behavioral problems in 2016, which left him in a “hopeless” and “dark place.” He has been living with his dad and sister Hannah, 18, since 2018 and calls the family’s issues “unfortunate.” But Collin ultimately blames the…
