FORMER reality babe Kim Zolciak is in hot water for not paying her credit card bills — Target stores claim she owes $2,482, according to court papers. The 45-year-old former Real Housewives of Atlanta babe, who just called off a nasty divorce with Kroy Biermann, 37, a former NFL line-backer, reportedly last paid $500 in September 2022. But that’s chump change compared to other debts. The broke beauty’s Alpharetta, Ga., family home went into foreclosure after she and jobless Kroy failed to repay a $300,000 loan on the joint, legal documents say.…

SOFTWARE sultan Bill Gates is tangled in a new sleazy sex scandal involving job candidates at his venture capital firm, who claim they were forced to answer a battery of pervy questions — including their porn habits, whether they kept naked pictures on their cell phone and even if they had “danced for dollars!” Concentric Advisors, the security firm that ran interviews for Seattle-based Gates Ventures, even went so far as to scare some job candidates by telling them a former CIA intelligence officer would be poking into their sexual histories and personal information. The firm claims the extraordinary battery of questions was intended to find out if a job candidate could be a victim of potential blackmail, and insists none of the inquiries are a violation of federal laws…

LIQUOR looters with expensive tastes busted into a Los Angeles booze biz in an Ocean’s Eleven-style heist — and made a grape escape with nearly $700,000 in vintage vino! Security cameras captured the masked thieves driving a pickup truck into the rear parking lot of Lincoln Fine Wines for a 1 a.m. raid. According to Nazmul Haque Helal — the store’s owner — one of the corkers cut a five-by-three-foot hole in the roof above the shop’s cellar where their most expensive products were stored. Footage shows a thief lowering himself down with a rock-climbing rope before covering the indoor security cameras and cutting off the external lights! The robbers made off with over 600 bottles of alcohol — including many wines deemed “irreplaceable” by manager Nick Martinelle. “It was like…

A BOMBSHELL new revelation has just dropped in the sex scandal of disabled Texas nun Teresa Agnes Gerlach, who was booted from her convent and accused of busting her vow of chastity by making whoopee with a priest. Gerlach, 43, confesses she DID SEXT with the Rev. Philip Johnson of Montana over the phone and via satellite, but insists they were NEVER INTIMATE and she never even met the preacher in person. The ousted mother superior of Carmelite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity, who is wheelchair-bound and needs a feeding tube, says she told investigating Bishop Michael Olson “this did not happen in person. At all. It was all over the phone. I was having seizures and I think my brain just got really messed up.” Still, as GLOBE reported,…

A SAVAGE 10-foot alligator mauled a granny to death while she was walking her dog near a sleepy South Carolina lagoon behind her house — and the gargantuan gator guarded her body so rescuers could not get to her to help! Grandma Holly Jenkins, 69, was pronounced dead at the scene at the Spanish Wells residential community, though her managled remains were identified by the Hilton Head island coroner. Holly’s family — who were visiting for the July 4 holiday — knew something was seriously wrong when the woman’s dog came home without her after an early morning walk, says Sheriff’s Department Major Angela Viens. The family spread out to look for her — and came upon the horrifying carnage by the edge of the lagoon! Medical workers hurried to…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE HULU’S series The Kardashians reveals how arrogant, clueless, spoiled and downright rude this clan of talentless gals actually is — and it’s a sad commentary on our culture. It used to be America was the place where a poor person could work hard and become successful and even rich. But the Kardashians are a new version of the American dream where bougie plain Janes skyrocket to mega-millions on the back of a boring amateur porn flick, oodles of plastic surgery and a reality show full of petty, nitwit chatter. While fans might find them funny and fascinating, critics are fed up! Let’s look at the reality of these unreal dames who sell their souls for fame. While celebrating Kim’s 42nd birthday, mom Kris Jenner, sister Khloé…

He’s already slammed Hunter Biden’s tax evasion plea deal with the feds and mocked transgender U.S. Secretary of Health Rachel Levine by referring to the official as “he” in a vicious five-minute rant. “Tucker is totally living in his own world,” spills an insider. “He’s pulling 14-hour days and when he’s not…

In May, the 32-year-old Golden Globe winner’s estranged wife, Californication actress ADDISON TIMLIN, 32, mysteriously filed to divorce her husband of more than three years — just months after he’d gushed about her during his emotional acceptance speech. “I love you deep in my bones. Thank you for all that you do, thank you for everything that you’ve done.” Apparently, the sentiment soon morphed into thanks for the memories, when she split with the father of her daughters, EZER, 4, and DOLORES, 2. But now things seem to be looking up for the Shameless alum, who plays a haute…

EIGHT years after their divorce, Melanie Griffith has covered the spot on her shoulder where a tattoo dedicated to then-hubby Antonio Banderas once lived with tats of the names of her four children. The new ink features the handles of her 26-year-old daughter, Stella, fathered by Banderas, Alexander Bauer, 37, whose dad is actor Steven Bauer, and actress Dakota Johnson, 33, and stepson Jesse Johnson, 40, with Don Johnson. Griffith, 65, and Banderas, 62, were married for 18 years, divorcing in 2015, and during their love-in she had a big heart with the name “Antonio” inked into her right shoulder.

HYPOCRITE Kid Rock was so angry about Bud Light’s promotion with a trans influencer he shot up cases of the suds with his AR-15 — but he’s still selling the brew at his Nashville bar! Fans are taking potshots at the 52-year-old Redneck Paradise singer for continuing to offer the beer — whose parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has been crushed by the anti-woke boycott. “Nice that you shot up the Bud Light but it’s still in your bar. Haha,” posts a peevish patron. Guess Kid shot himself in the foot!…

TEENAGE terror Willard Miller was shipped off to the slammer for life after savagely beating an Iowa teacher to death with a baseball bat over a bad grade! As District Court Judge Shawn Showers threw the book at the 17-year-old dunce, he fumed, “I find your intent and actions were sinister and evil. Those acts resulted in the intentional loss of human life in a brutal fashion. There is no excuse.” Earlier this year, the cowardly killer — and accomplice Jeremy Goodale, 18, who has yet to be sentenced — both pleaded guilty to snuffing out Spanish instructor Nohema Graber, 66. Prosecutors say the barbaric bullies — who were just 16 when they ambushed the Fairfield High School teacher in Chautauqua Park and bashed in her head — spent two…

NO wonder the president’s critics have called him “Sleepy” Joe Biden — he suffers from the slumber-interrupting condition obstructive sleep apnea! America’s 80-year-old leader was sporting some mysterious lines on his face during a recent morning chat with journalists on the White House lawn. Photos of the commander-in-chief’s mug sparked some wild speculation on the internet. But other OSA patients recognized the telltale lines caused by the straps of a continuous positive airway pressure machine (CPAP), which is used to keep airways open and thus allow sufferers to sleep soundly. The White House confirmed Biden’s use of the machine, and that’s a good thing. Studies show untreated OSA raises risk for a host of health woes, including heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes and even dementia!…

A DERANGED sea lion, crazed by poisons found in red algae clogging the sea, went after a 14-year-old boy off the San Diego coast — chomping on his leg and then latching with its dagger-like teeth onto the kid’s caboose! It was the latest in a terrifying incident of sickened sea lions attacking California beachgoers and even waddling across the sand after their beloved pets! Teenager Dane Blair was bitten on the knee and buttock by a psychotic sea lion while taking a swim at a Del Mar beach.

BRITNEY Spears’ voodoo-crazed fans have NBA hoops hunk Victor Wembanyama spooked into believing his playing ability has been gutted by a black magic curse after his nasty runin with the Toxic pop princess, sources say. Sports stud Wembanyama’s summer debut for the San Antonio Spurs was a flop when the 7-foot-3, 225-pound rookie missed all but two of his 13 shots against the Charlotte Hornets days after the teenage phenom tangled with Spears, 41, who approached him in a crowded restaurant hoping for a selfie — only to be slapped to the side by his security goon.

After filing a…

HOW far will action star TOM CRUISE go in his mission to do his own impossible stunts? Look no further than 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout, where in addition to breaking his ankle while his character, IMF agent Ethan Hunt, leaps across London rooftops, he did a HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) jump! He trained in a vertical wind tunnel before making more than 100 jumps from 25,000 feet in a C-17 military aircraft just to get the shot. The plot? Something about recovered plutonium, but that’s not why fans to to M:I movies!…

GHOULISH grave robbers swiped $62,000 worth of bronze memorial vases in Texas — but a fed-up family used an Apple AirTag to track the crooks and crack the case, lawmen say. Tony Velazquez discovered his uncle’s plot at Restwood Memorial Park in Clute was robbed by sticky-fingered thieves who kept filching the metal flower holders, which cost $600 a pop! When fed-up Velazquez replaced the pilfered item yet again, he attached an Air-Tag — a small wireless device which allows users to keep tabs on their belongings.
