SUPERSTAR Celine Dion has dropped a devastating bomb-shell — her fabulous career is in danger due to a rare and horrific incurable disease that’s turned her into a living statue! The tragic 54-year-old icon reveals she has been battling Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), which has affected her ability to walk and even her golden voice. “While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all the spasms I’ve been having,” she says. “Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to. “I have no choice but to concentrate on my health at this moment and I have hope that I’m…

CANCELED Hollywood outcast Roseanne Barr is canceling the idea of ever getting hitched to her longtime beau, musician Johnny Argent, say sources. “For the last two decades, Roseanne and Johnny have been living on the Big Island of Hawaii in a home set on 46 acres,” blabs an insider. “They’ve talked about planning a wedding. Then one thing or another would come up, causing them to put their plans on hold.” But when Roseanne turned 70 in November, she’s said to have had a wake-up call. She let her dyed hair go gray, got on a health kick and finally decided she didn’t need to be married to be happy. “Looking and feeling great gave Roseanne new confidence in herself, and she realized she is amazingly happy with the way…

BELOVED Betty White was a Golden Girl in death — her two homes recently sold for more than $21 million. The star of a string of sitcoms including the iconic The Mary Tyler Moore Show, who died at 99 last New Year’s Eve, had homes in L.A.’s Brentwood section and Carmel-by-the-Sea. The Brentwood joint — sold for $10.678 million in June — was just torn down by the new owner. In April, her beachfront Carmel estate went for $10.775 million, a whopping $3 million over the asking price!…

LUCY HALE This gown would’ve been a hit on the Pretty Little Liars star without its odd single sleeve SHARON STONE The Basic Instinct babe looks like a molting flamingo in a quirky feather-festooned suit DIANE KRUGER The Troy star’s jacket is dazzling, but flared trousers badly accentuate her puny pins CAMILA CABELLO The pear-shaped pop performer’s suit does nothing to balance her bottom-heavy figure FREIDA PINTO Oversized shoulder poufs steal the spotlight from the petite Slumdog Millionaire sensation…

THANKS FOR 2022 THE MEMORIES BRITAIN’s longest-reigning monarch made it clear in her final days she’d never forgive Prince Harry’s American upstart wife, Meghan, for ripping the royal family apart, palace courtiers tell GLOBE. “Her Majesty always rose above the fray, but Meghan touched a nerve because her ‘all-about-me’ behavior is unbecoming to a member of the royal family and seriously threatened the monarchy,” says a high-level palace official. “And for that sin, the queen told trusted aides she could never forgive the publicity-seeking B-list actress and didn’t trust her as far as she could throw a racehorse!” Initially, Elizabeth, who died Sept. 8 at age 96, tried hard to welcome Harry’s lover into the family. But she eventually regretted bestowing the title Duchess of Sussex on the biracial beauty,…

HOLLYWOOD legend Sidney Poitier — the first Black man to win a Best Actor Oscar, for 1963’s Lilies of the Field — almost destroyed his family with a steamy love triangle! While married to Juanita Hardy, he began a yearslong affair with also-wed Diahann Carroll while the two were filming the controversial 1959 musical Porgy and Bess. Diahann revealed in her autobiography the affair crashed and burned when Sidney lavished her with an engagement ring and a New York City apartment, then decided he couldn’t leave Juanita and their four daughters! But Sidney and Juanita divorced two years after the apartment fiasco. He later wed Canadian actress Joanna Shimkus, now 79, and had two more daughters. Sadly, the Alzheimer’s-ravaged In the Heat of the Night star was a frail shell…

PLAYING Wally Cleaver on the sitcom Leave It to Beaver plunged Tony Dow into a lifelong battle to save his mental health! The actor found instant fame at 12 playing Jerry Mathers’ older sibling, Wally, from 1957 to 1963. But when the show ended, Tony found himself in a tailspin. “It’s sad to be famous, then grow up and become a real person and nothing’s happened for you,” he said. Although Dow, 77, worked as an actor, producer and sculptor, it made him nuts when people persisted in seeing him as Beaver’s brother. He developed severe depression and considered suicide. Tony died July 27 in a Los Angeles hospice after battling liver cancer. THANKS FOR 2022 THE MEMORIES…

TEEN idol Bobby Rydell cheated death three times before complications of pneumonia ended his life April 5 in Abington Township, Pa., three weeks before his 80th birthday. The singer of ‘60s hits Dream Lover, Wild One and Volare, Rydell first survived a massive infection in his 20s! Then after alcoholism destroyed his kidneys and liver, he got life-saving organ transplants in 2012 before enduring a double heart-bypass weeks later! The pop icon, who starred in Bye Bye Birdie, was humble to the end saying, “I never thought of myself as a celebrity. I was just a guy who went out there and worked.”…

FOLKS always knew Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin is an evil, barbaric murderer, but now it’s become clear the dastardly dude is batpoop bonkers, too! Vicious Vlad’s totally tangled in black magic and Satanism, which the 70-year-old uses to try to boost his flopping virility and to help him win the illegal war in Ukraine. As a source told GLOBE last week, putrid Putin actually slaughtered a black dog — and drank its blood — in a creep show sacrifice to demonic beings he was begging to “ensure” his victory in Ukraine. But apparently it hasn’t worked. Vlad’s army is getting its butt kicked. And the 5-foot-6 twerp’s ritual sacrifice of an eagle — the majestic bird that symbolizes America — hasn’t brought Uncle Sam down, either. So folks are wondering…

PAUL GIAMATTI and THOMAS HADEN CHURCH play bumbling middle-aged buds on a road trip through California wine country in the 2004 comedy-drama Sideways. Audiences loved it — but it had an even BIGGER impact on the wine industry! Thanks to one scene where Giamatti raves about how one type of vino is infinitely superior to another, sales of pinot noir skyrocketed, while merlot tanked — and winemakers trying to keep up with demand cheapened their pinot with inferior grapes.…

COUNTRY cowpoke Blake Shelton’s loud boasts about quitting The Voice have left co-host Kelly Clarkson fit to be tied, tipsters tattle. The 40-year-old Breakaway songbird is super ticked off with Blake for walking right when she’s about to return to the hit talent competition after taking a year off to handle a nasty divorce and a new talk show, sources say. “Kelly was initially devastated he’s not going to be there, but now thinks it’s pretty sneaky and tacky of him to gloat about all the free time he’s going to have,” dishes an insider. “A lot of the other talent and bosses were also freaked and wondering how things would survive without Blake. “He’s always been a bit of a self-promoter, but they let it slide before because he…

DEAD to Me beauty Christina Applegate says her shattering multiple sclerosis diagnosis “sucked balls.” The 51-year-old star reveals she learned she had the brain and spinal cord–savaging disease that impacts walking, talking and weakens muscles while shooting the final season of her Netflix show in 2021. Earlier, she was “freaking out” suffering devastating symptoms because “I didn’t know what was happening to me. “I couldn’t walk. They had to use a wheelchair to get me to set. Someone was like, ‘You need an MRI.’”…

GLOBE’s former advice columnist Ivana Trump rocketed from rags to riches when she became the wife of billionaire future president Donald Trump in 1977. They shared three children, Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric, and eventually mended fences after Ivana took the real estate magnate to the cleaners in a sensational divorce. But when Ivana died on July 14 at age 73 following a freak fall in her Manhattan home, Trump settled the score by having her buried on his New Jersey golf course — to cut his property tax bill, experts charge. By plopping Ivana in a “sad, little plot of dirt” near the first tee on his Bedminster golf club, the cheating cheapskate could take advantage of a state loophole giving “cemeteries” a pass on tens of thousands of…

GOODFELLAS legend Ray Liotta seemed to be fit and healthy at age 67 when he shockingly died in his sleep while filming the movie Dangerous Waters in the Dominican Republic. His unexpected demise sparked charges of an autopsy cover-up by authorities in the Caribbean nation. Ray’s fiancée, Jacy Nittolo, 47, found him dead in their room at the posh Casas del XVI hotel in Santo Domingo’s historic quarter on May 26. Ray’s publicist says the actor died of an apparent heart attack and no foul play was suspected — but official findings were never released. Friends note Ray “worked out all the time” but was also a smoker when he was younger and secretly struggling with mounting health woes. “He was yo-yo dieting because he desperately wanted to look his…

WHEN legendary newsman Bernie Shaw quit ABC in 1980 to join the launch of CNN, the world’s first 24-hour TV news network, people thought he was crazy! But the pioneering journalist never looked back. As Washington’s only Black TV anchor, Shaw led network coverage of the 1981 attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, and in 1989, he was in China covering the student revolt in Tiananmen Square. He scooped the world in 1991, along with reporters John Holliman and Peter Arnett, by broadcasting live during the first attack on Baghdad during the Gulf War — hiding under a desk as missiles fell around them! Shaw retired in 2001 and died from pneumonia on Sept. 7 at age 82.…

HEFTY Harry Potter star Robbie Coltrane couldn’t curb his appetite for booze and overeating — and his gluttony finally killed him at 72! Robbie — who played Hogwarts giant Rubeus Hagrid — called himself a “bottle-of-whisky-a-day-or-nothing man” and admitted: “Booze is my undoing.” But his habits hammered his 280-pound body and the degenerative bone disease osteoarthritis shoved him into a wheelchair in 2019 as he awaited surgery in hellish pain.

But the 74-year-old declared his weight made him a “sex god!” “I got the best-looking women when I was fat!” he boasted. The showman — real name Marvin Lee Aday — didn’t hide his conquests.

Researchers in Iran found women who took the natural supplement for eight weeks reported more sexual satisfaction than those who did not consume the capsules.

MOVIE mobster Paul Sorvino once threatened to use his gun to protect one of his daughters! Almost a decade before Paul scored his signature 1990 role as Goodfellas crime boss Big Paulie Cicero, the big-screen tough guy was deputized in Pennsylvania’s Lackawanna County. And he used his cop credentials in 2007 to rescue daughter Amanda, now 51, from a boozy, belligerent beau. According to Vermont police, Paul bellowed, “I have a gun. Stay away from my daughter!” Sorvino, a dad of three including 55-year-old actress Mira, was legally allowed to pack heat and never pointed his weapon at the “out-of-control hothead,” a court was told. The Law & Order alum died on July 25 in a Jacksonville, Fla., hospital at age 83. A pal says Paul took his deputy sheriff…

BELOVED Murder, She Wrote legend Angela Lansbury had kinky mysteries of her own — including the truth about her 1945 first marriage to actor-artist Richard Cromwell and her hush-hush visit to a “dungeon-like sex club!” “I had no idea I was marrying a gay man,” insisted the actress, who died in her sleep in Los Angeles Oct. 11, five days before her 97th birthday. Angela was just 19 when she fell for 35-year-old Cromwell — who walked out within a year. She confessed to being “absolutely shattered” to learn he was gay. Hairspray director John Waters was equally surprised when he caught the actress at the notorious New York City sex club Hellfire during the 1980s. Waters says the joint catered to “gay and straight perverts” and seeing TV sleuth Jessica…
