KELSEY GRAMMER has played some tough dudes, but the 65-year-old Frasier star admits he often breaks down and blubbers like a baby — and it makes him feel better, sources dish. “Kelsey says big boys actually should cry,” says a source close to the star. “He cries when he’s upset, sad or scared, and it provides him with a lot of relief. “He believes years of tragedies in his life taught him to cry as a healing mechanism. Now he sheds tears whenever he has sad feelings bottled up inside him.” Indeed, Grammer’s early life reads like a Shakespearean tragedy. At 13 his dad was murdered by an armed intruder. A few years later, when he decided to try acting, he found himself broke, homeless and often forced to sleep…

FURIOUS Queen Elizabeth has booted Princess Eugenie and her hubby out of Prince Harry’s Frogmore Cottage home in a bit to foil scheming Meghan’s plan to completely cut him off from England and the royal family, sources say. Disgraced Prince Andrew’s pregnant 30-year-old daughter and her booze-seller husband, Jack Brooksbank, 34, were ordered to quit the cottage and move back to Kensington Palace just six weeks after Meghan and Prince Harry secretly leased them the home. This means Harry and Meghan are still on the financial hook for Frogmore, a gift from the queen, and will have to underwrite the cost of keeping up the property. It also ensures Harry has a home in Britain — if he ever wants to come back. “Word is Meghan is fuming,” says a…

That’s left Chris fearing he’ll be the next Tom Bergeron and replaced by a woman of color.” But network sources reveal ABC honchos are constantly evaluating the two reality shows to make sure they remain popular and in tune with the times. That’s part of the reason former America’s Next Top Model queen Tyra Banks was hired to replace Tom, who was the face of the dance competition for 14 years before getting the boot. You can only…

SITCOM veteran Mayim Bialik became a household name at age 12 as the star of Blossom and delighted audiences decades later as nerdy Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory.

Experts estimate more than three million of the beasts — weighing up to 500 pounds and armed with rows of razor-sharp tusks — are running amuck in the Lone Star State, which has declared war on the porkers. Hunters use drones, digital pig calls, hot air balloons, helicopters and hog dogs to find their prey on public and private lands. Then they lure packs of the brazen critters into range — and mow them down with AR-15 military-style weapons. Avid hunter and oil field worker Fred Jones, 43, notes spotting pigs was rare when he was growing up, but they’ve since multiplied like…

The world’s largest beaver dam — a 2,800-foot long structure near Canada’s Wood Buffalo National Park — is so big it can be seen from space. Scientists believe critters started the ongoing construction project in 1970! Here’s something to chew on! Approximately 40 million adult Americans are missing all of their teeth. Your choppers are the only part of the human body that can’t heal themselves!…
