FEROCIOUSLY feuding brothers William and Harry called a truce long enough to agree on a final design for a sculpture of their beloved dead mother, Princess Diana. The image of Di, whose life was snuffed out at age 36 in a still-controversial 1997 Paris tunnel car crash, is being created by sculptor Ian Rank-Boardley and set for unveiling on July 1, which would be her 60th birthday. A source says the memorial “will have been signed off by William and Harry,” meaning the clashing princes, who no longer talk, have agreed to the sculptor’s plan. “At least they didn’t carry their feud into their mom’s memorial,” says a royal insider. “Still, the sad state of their relationship continues.” Di’s sons were once closer than two peas in a pod. But…

FEARS of a new spree of death and disaster triggered by the ghoulish Curse of the Pharaohs are spreading in Egypt after 22 mummies of ancient royalty were moved to a new museum. Egyptian officials had no qualms making a big splash by parading the 3,000-year-old corpses linked to Pharaoh Ramesses II on wheeled, golden barges along Cairo’s streets to a new museum amid gun salutes and fireworks on April 3. But many are already blaming recent calamities — the collapse of a building in the city and the costly blockage of the Suez Canal by a grounded cargo ship — on disturbing the corpses of 18 kings and four queens. “Bizarre and bad things seem to surround the ancient mummies and tombs of the pharaohs,” says an acclaimed Egyptologist, who…

DUMPED by wife Kim Kardashian, desperate Kanye West is plotting to steal superstar Jennifer Lopez from ex-baseball jock Alex Rodriguez, sources snitch. The 43-year-old rapper has secretly lusted after the bootylicious 51-year-old songbird for years — even during his seven-year marriage to reality wench Kim, 40, an insider claims. Now, with his marriage on the rocks and A-Rod and J.Lo’s romance hanging by a thread over the jock’s sexting scandal, the billionaire rap mogul is reportedly ready to pounce. “Kanye wants the world to see he’s still a big catch for the right high-profile girl!” an insider dishes. “Dating J.Lo would check all the boxes, especially as he’s had a serious crush on her that goes way back.” While the pairing seems like a long shot, the Yeezy hitmaker is…

SKIRT-CHASING SNL comic Pete Davidson has finally moved out of his mom’s basement — at age 27! The string-bean Romeo romanced a host of hotties — actresses Cazzie David, Margaret Qualley, Kate Beckinsale, model Kaia Gerber and pop princess Ariana Grande — while crashing in the cellar of the $1.3 million Staten Island home he shared with his mother, Amy. He previously described his boy “cave,” saying: “I have like a basement that’s like mine that’s like an apartment, so I live underneath her.” Now, he’s posted on social media: “I just moved out of my mom’s house. I’m fully out — I got a pad.” The move is probably applauded by his current squeeze, Phoebe Dynevor, the sexy star of Netflix’s steamy Bridgerton. At 26, she likely had her…

Kennedy has been a thorn in the 75-year-old singer’s side for some time, sources snitch. “It’s been the elephant in the room from the beginning and Neil’s had just about all he can take,” dishes an insider. “Daryl still mourns his passing and confides that John was ‘the one’ that got away.

DANGEROUS concussions can be identified with a simple saliva sample, which could offer the opportunity for speedy diagnoses, a new study suggests. Researchers from Britain’s University of Birmingham say they compared samples of spit from more than 150 rugby players and found certain genetic markers in saliva determined with 94 percent accuracy which athletes had experienced concussions and which had not. Experts say the finding could be a game-changer for sports as it may kick off an on-the-spot option to diagnose jocks on the sidelines and prevent them from playing with potential brain injuries. “It is now possible to accurately identify concussions simply by analyzing players’ saliva, extending the ability to safeguard the brains of injured players outside professional ranks,” says study co-author Valentina Di Pietro.…

No more ARMIE HAMMER for projects with female A-list superstars like JULIA ROBERTS and JENNIFER LOPEZ! In the savage jungle called Hollywood, everyone’s replaceable, especially a leading man caught in disgusting scandals involving allegations of abuse, rape, sadomasochism and cannibal fetish fantasies.

FIRTH NOT FIRST FOR KILLER ROLE COLIN FIRTH, 60, wasn’t first choice to star in HBO Max’s upcoming eight-episode limited series The Staircase, based on the titillating true-crime documentary by the same name! Originally, HARRISON FORD, 78, had been attached to play Nashville-born novelist MICHAEL PETERSON, now 77, accused of killing his second wife, KATHLEEN, in 2001. “It’s been a long and winding road, but well worth the wait to be able to find partners like HBO Max … and the incredible Colin Firth,” gushes the series’ exec producer.

L.A. Sheriff Alex Villanueva’s refusal to reveal the cause of Tiger Woods’ crippling car crash has triggered outrage and cries of a new cover-up! Almost immediately after Tiger blew a curve and drove his SUV straight off a California highway, Villanueva ruled the Feb. 23 incident was an “accident” — without any drug tests for the golf legend, who is a recovering addict. Then, on March 31, the lawman declared he knows why Woods crashed — but won’t reveal it! “There’s some privacy issues on releasing information on the investigation,” insists Villanueva, adding he’ll only “do a full release on all the information regarding the accident if they [Woods] waive the privacy.” He also declared he still considers the wreck “purely an accident,” saying: “You either have an accident, or…

AFTER forgetting her key, 22-year-old Sydney Therriault of Beallsville, Md., tried to climb into her room through a window at the Pelican RV Resort and Marina in the Florida Keys. Unfortunately, her head got stuck and authorities said she “asphyxiated.” IN 1904, Hollywood residents voted 113 to 96 to ban the sale of alcohol except for medicinal purposes. The ban was lifted three years later. CALIFORNIANS Jessica and Jake Woodruff died during a birthday road trip when a 175-foot redwood tree crashed on their car while driving on Highway 199. DURING World War II, America designed hand grenades to be the size and weight of a baseball so “any young American man should be able to properly throw it.”…
