MURDERED pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s French model agency buddy has been busted on rape and sexual trafficking charges as he tried to flee Paris after more than a year on the lam, sources says. French lawmen nabbed 74-year-old Jean-Luc Brunel at Charles de Gaulle Airport as he was trying to board a flight to Africa’s Senegal on Dec. 16. "This is huge news. I am crying with joy," says Thysia Huisman, a former Dutch model who claimed the head of the Karin Models agency “drugged and raped” her when she was 18. Other sources claim Brunel recruited girls for Epstein’s underage harem and once sent the sex fiend billionaire a pair of 12-year-old girls as a birthday present.

AN EXPLOSIVE diary written by the first military investigator to inspect the 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, N.M., reveals the U.S.government orchestrated a massive conspiracy to hide the truth from the world! In a handwritten notebook recently found by his grandchildren, Army intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel’s personal log said he found “alien writing” etched into debris at the site and concluded the metal wreckage was “not made by human hands.” But Marcel, who died in June 1986, followed orders and publicly went along with the official spin, saying the object was a U.S. weather balloon, not a flying saucer. Now his grandkids, John and Jesse Marcel III, have gone public with his tell-all diary. “He was made to be the fall guy,” Jesse says. “He was the head of…

CONTROL-FREAK Tom Cruise’s red-hot rants on the set of his new Mission: Impossible flick have driven five fed-up crew members to quit, sources say. The 58-year-old superstar is on edge after COVID-19 long stalled his latest spy thriller for months and has burst into fury twice. He was caught on tape raging about workers ignoring safety measures. “Tension has been building for months and this was the final straw,” snitches a source. “There has been more anger and several staff have walked.” The Top Gun tyrant’s first explosion at England’s Warner Bros. Studios came because two workers weren’t social distancing the required six feet apart. “If I see you doing it again, you're f**king gone,” he’s heard bellowing on a recording. “And if anyone in this crew does it, that's it.…

1 He was born in Johnstone, Scotland, in 1966 but was raised in Stratford-up-on-Avon, England. 2 He was an aspiring pro soccer player in his youth — but his career was cut short by a knee injury while he was still a teenager. 3 He’s one of four siblings — and his younger brother, Ronald, did time in an Indonesian prison for heroin possession. 4 Early in his career, he worked with famous French chef and Parisian restaurateur Guy Savoy, who Gordon has called his mentor. 5 He is a father of five — daughters Megan, 22, Holly, 20, and Matilda, 19, and sons Jack, 20, and Oscar, 20 months — but gripes about being mistaken for the granddad of his youngest. 6 The one food he won’t eat is…

BIBLE-belting preacher William Milam publicly crusaded to ban booze sales on Sunday, but behind the scenes, cops say, the 62-year-old pastor was a devilish child porn addict. Florida lawmen say they arrested Milam after investigators traced hellish photos of kids as young as three having sex to his electronic devices. Ironically, the pastor at Milton’s Olivet Baptist Church railed against selling booze on the sabbath. But all the while he was preaching against Demon Rum, he was uploading disgusting child porn, says Florida’s Department of Law Enforcement. Milam was being held on $2.5 million bond on charges of promoting sexual performance of a child and 25 counts of possession of child pornography. He had not entered a plea at press time.…

SENIOR screen siren Susan Sarandon has soured on men after splitting with her last beau — toyboy screenwriter Jonathan Bricklin — who was 30 years younger, sources say. The 74-year-old beauty, who skyrocketed to stardom as nerdy Janet in the 1975 cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show, has been single for five years and pals say she complains today’s guys just don’t have what it takes to tame a fiery dame like the babe she played in Thelma & Louise. “It’s not that she can’t get a man, it’s that the men she seems to attract these days are losers or subpar in some form or other,” snitches an insider. “She’d rather be alone and hang out at her eclectic apartment in New York City with her little dog, who’s…

HARD-DRIVING Gwen Stefani is sifting through options for romantic duets without fiancé Blake Shelton — and he’s green with jealousy! Sources spill the No Doubt singer, 51, wants to make new music and at the same time get some separation from the 44-year-old country stud, even though they’re getting hitched! “Gwen’s looking at her departure from The Voice as a good thing because she wants to do her own thing, and stop being joined at the hip with Blake,” snitches an insider. “They’re together 24/7 and Gwen has absolutely zero time to herself. It’s a bit much if you ask her. She’s not into this togetherness stuff the way Blake is. She can’t even go to her acupuncturist without Blake wanting to tag along. “And on The Voice, he was…

KANYE WEST and Kim Kardashian’s six-year marriage is all but kaput, with the billionaire couple leading increasingly separate lives, pals say. Behind Kim’s behemoth booty and public smiles, the 40-year-old mom of four has been going through hell living under one roof with the kooky bipolar rapper, say sources who spill she could finally call it quits shortly after the new year. “The odds on them making it in the long-term are looking slim to zero at this point,” dishes an insider. “They can barely stand the sight of each other. “They’re eating apart, sleeping apart, barely interacting at all — though to their credit they’re being cordial in front of the kids. “But the pulse is gone. There’s a lot of bickering on the rare occasions they do hang…

WORKERS at a McDonald’s in Maine survived a real Big Mac attack when a madman wielding a chain saw stomped in and terrorized the fast-food joint, cops say. According to police reports, 26-year-old Alice Sweet wasn’t “lovin’ it” when he marched behind the counter at the Westbrook burger joint revving the razor-sharp woodcutter and demanding food and drink. Without being told they “deserve a break today,” the terrified workers, fearful of limbs being sliced off by the scary power tool, stampeded for their lives, leaving Sweet to grab what he wanted — a burger and a soda, say cops. After enjoying his snacks, the dangerous creep also left, but was confronted by the manager in the parking lot, according to lawmen. However, cops say the manager ended up running for…

ANXIETY can make people develop Alzheimer’s faster, say scientists. A team of researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina studied MRI brain scans of 339 patients with an average age of 72 who suffered mild cognitive loss. Senior author Professor Maria Spampinato says: “We wanted to see if anxiety had an effect on brain structure, or if the effect of anxiety was independent from brain structure in favoring the progression.” One of the study authors, Jenny Ulber, says anxiety-ridden patients also suffering mild cognitive issues developed Alzheimer’s faster than those without anxiety. While there is a link between anxiety and Alzheimer’s, the researchers don’t know if the anxiety actually causes a drop in brain function, or if loss of brainpower triggers the anxiety.…

ACTOR Shia LaBeouf’s chances of replacing his movie dad in the blockbuster Indiana Jones epics crashed and burned when former galpals accused him of being violent and abusive, sources say. A day after Disney announced Harrison Ford would star in a new Indiana Jones flick — but didn’t mention Shia — the troubled actor was clobbered with a sexual harassment lawsuit by ex-love FKA Twigs, 32, and hit with claims from songbird Sia, 44, that he’s a “sick” liar. Now sources say the bad publicity will doom any chance of Shia reprising his role as the whip-wielding archeologist’s son Mutt, who first appeared in 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or headlining new movies when Ford quits. “He can kiss that goodbye after the new abuse…

Learning she also suffers from the condition plaguing sons Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 6, explained why she “failed at school.” “I was a good girl. I didn’t do any bad stuff.

But she notes they aren’t dumb and are usually gifted in problem-solving and creativity.…
