According to her July 26 court filing, Jamie Spears, who’s been her conservator since 2008, collects $16,000 a month — $2,000 MORE than he gives the Oops! I Did It Again singer! He’s also taking another $2,000 a month from her bank account for office expenses, the star charges. According to her new legal eagle Mathew Rosengart, Jamie snared an “estimated $2.1 million” from her Las Vegas concerts and another $500Gs from her 2011 Femme Fatale Tour. “Although it is common for managers, agents and other industry professionals to receive a percentage of an…

DISGRACED R&B sensation R. Kelly’s trial for masterminding a sex trafficking ring to kidnap and violate gals was set for this month — but prosecutors now charge he shockingly abused underage boys, too! Federal lawmen in New York want to introduce damning new evidence the 54-year-old I Believe I Can Fly singer had trysts with 16- and 17-year-old boys, including one they claim he lured at a McDonald’s. Now G-men also charge the star tried to bribe public officials — and a gal insists Kelly ordered her to download child porn! According to prosecutors, the accused pedophile’s inner circle gave a $500 payoff to an Illinois clerk to change 15-year-old singer Aaliyah’s age to 18 so Kelly, then 27, could legally wed her. Prosecutors say the creep feared he’d knocked…

AMERICAN Pickers has dumped Frank Fritz for keeps, according to the show’s alpha antiques dealer Mike Wolfe! “‘I will miss Frank, just like all of you, and I pray for the very best and all good things for him on the next part of his journey,” says Mike, 57, who officially chalks up his long-time picking partner’s departure to numerous health woes, including back surgery and Crohn’s disease. But as GLOBE reported last week, Frank says a bitter feud between the former besties is what made him mysteriously vanish from the History Channel’s hit buy-and-sell series after March 2020! “I haven’t talked to Mike in two years,” sniffs Frank, 55, who says it’s his co-star’s jealousy and greedy hunger for fame and stardom that has sparked the blowup. “The show…

DUCK DYNASTY dad Phil Robertson is rewriting his will and leaving a chunk of his $15 million fortune to long-lost daughter Phyllis, say sources who quack the patriarch’s decision is ruffling the feathers of his wife, Kay, and their four sons! Sources squeal to GLOBE the 75-year-old Duck Commander founder has taken Phyllis, 46, to his heart ever since his long-lost love child flew into his life at the church where he was giving a sermon. Phil introduced former missionary worker Phyllis to fans a year ago on his Unashamed podcast — admitting she was the result of an extramarital affair he had in the 1970s before he gave up boozing and became a devout Christian evangelist. “Girl, you’re the best thing that ever came out of my past,” the…

THE big celeb splash at the Tokyo Olympics came when Monaco’s skirt-chasing Prince Albert showed up at swimming events alone, his second public snub by wife Charlene! As GLOBE previously reported, the 43-year-old blonde gave the cold shoulder to her balding 63-year-old hubby on July 1, their tenth wedding anniversary, holing up in her native South Africa, where she reportedly intends to remain. But there’s a kicker to the Tokyo tackiness: If anyone would have wanted to attend swim events, it would have been Charlene, who raced backstroke for South Africa’s team at the 2000 Olympics around when Albert met her. While Albert was in the stands, Charlene posted a dig at the ladies’ man by thanking her “dear friend Alouise … for remembering our wedding song. With all my…

COUNTRY icon Loretta Lynn’s frozen face is looking like a horror show from years of nip/tuck overload, leaving loved ones hoping she’s quit getting fixes in her twilight years, insiders dish. The 89-year-old Coal Miner’s Daughter was a honky-tonk tootsie back in the day, but over the years her face has gotten stiffer and tighter, sources say. “Loretta’s always held herself up with pride when it comes to her looks, which she’s tried to maintain with facelifts, Botox, fillers and other procedures. It’s all catching up with her after so many years,” spills an insider. “She doesn’t get much of anything now, but she can barely move her face — so it’s all too much. “When she smiles, her cheeks don’t move and there are very few visible lines.” Even…

BRAD PITT and ED NORTON were fighting mad at hater ROSIE O’DONNELL for trashing their 1999 flick, Fight Club, AND stupidly spoiling the psychological thriller’s shocking twist ending! How peeved were the A-list actors? They shunned the TV chat show bigmouth for years — but she didn’t know why! “Nobody said jack sh** to me for a good three years, maybe even four years,” she recalls. So she asked Norton’s former date mate COURTNEY LOVE. “She says, on my show, she says to me, ‘Oh my God, Ed Norton and Brad Pitt, they’re so mad at you for what you did. I was like, ‘What did I do?’ She says, ‘You ruined the Fight Club ending.’ I only found it out a long time after the incident. So, apparently I…

SEXPOT Mena Suvari of American Beauty fame reveals she battled addiction after her older brother’s friend raped her at age 12. “I never was all right again,” the 42-year-old writes in her new memoir, The Great Peace. “I took drugs to numb myself from the pain. Alcohol. Pot. Coke. Crystal meth. Acid. Ecstasy. Mushrooms. Mescaline. It was my way of detaching myself from the hell of my existence — and surviving.” The American Pie star confesses meth “took over” her life during her school years. “The hours I was at school were spent thinking about getting out of school and doing some lines,” she writes. “I stayed out as much as I could. And stayed high as much as I could. “Before long I was pulling out my small gold lacquered…

KNOCKOUT model Paulina Porizkova says she was knocked off a dating app — because they thought she was an impostor! The 56-year-old newly single beauty says she was “booted off” when she returned to the app after her recent breakup with TV titan Aaron Sorkin, 60! “OK. What’s up?” she posted on Instagram, alongside a glam sunbathing selfie. “My name, it seems, is against guidelines?” The red-faced folks at Hinge say they’ve apologized and reinstated her account.…

A FLORIDA retiree returning home from the doctor nearly had a heart attack when he found a naked woman in his pool — and the shameless skinny-dipper refused to get out and put her clothes on! Cops arrested Heather Kennedy, 42, for breaking and breast-stroking when she let herself into the pool of James Clark, 69. Lawmen say the Port Charlotte man followed a trail of discarded clothing in his lanai that led out through an unlocked screen door — and that’s where he found “a naked white female in the pool.” Clark says he felt “violated” by finding the birthday-suited bather. “She basically was just lying down, head on the bricks on the side of the pool and just totally incoherent,” he says. The butt-naked mermaid faces trespassing and resisting…

GOOD news and bad news for men — it may be possible to add years to the life span of the average dude, but they’d have to be castrated first! A study involving sheep rammed home the message removing male testes allowed them live up to 60 percent longer than expected — by slowing down the aging process of their DNA. And researchers believe it may work for humans as well! “Both farmers and scientists have known for some time castrated male sheep live on average much longer than their intact counterparts,” notes epigeneticist Victoria Sugrue of the University of Otago, New Zealand, who led the study. “However, this is the first time anyone has looked at DNA to see if it also ages slower.”…

SHOCKING newly surfaced files reveal the hit flick The Great Escape — about captive U.S. and British airmen busting out of a Nazi prisoner of war camp — was pure Hollywood hokum! Documents stashed in the U.S. National Archives disclose evil Nazi bigwigs KNEW about secret plans by Allied flyers to tunnel out of prison — and let them — so they could cruelly catch and execute them as examples. But in the hit 1963 flick, starring A-listers Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson and James Coburn, the gutsy soldiers completely fool the Germans and tunnel to freedom — only to be heartbreakingly caught before they could get out of Nazi territory. The cruel ending was the same — only three prisoners out of 76 escaped to safety while the…

COUNTRY wildcat Tanya Tucker is down for the count after emergency hip surgery — and pals fear the hard-partying “Texas Tornado” is on her last legs! “These are dark days,” tattles a pal. “Tanya suffers from chronic bronchitis, has battled pneumonia and a myriad of other health problems. “She took a couple of years off to battle depression after her mom died in 2012. “She’s tried hard to reclaim her career, crisscrossing the country doing shows. But she’s in no shape to do it.” The 62-year-old spitfire recently revealed on social media: “My hip has been giving me hell” and “had to have surgery right away” after doctors discovered a hip fracture. She was forced to cancel three concerts, which means she’ll be stuck at home for months, sources say.…

Two new Boeing planes costing a combined $3.9 billion are due in 2024. HOLY crap!

JENNIFER LOPEZ and her new-again love machine Ben Affleck narrowly dodged a horrifying incident — an embarrassing run-in with her cast-off fiancé Alex Rodriguez — thanks to an aide’s quick thinking, spies say. J.Lo’s assistant went ahead to check out the ritzy French Riviera eatery, Bagatelle St. Tropez, where her 52-year-old boss and hunky Ben were planning to lunch. But when she arrived, the aide was stunned to see former New York Yankees slugger A-Rod, 46, gobbling away at a table with blond babe Melanie Collins, a 35-year-old NFL sportscaster. “J.Lo had made a reservation at the same restaurant, the same day,” dishes an insider. “Her assistant alerted J.Lo and the reservation was quickly canceled.” The blunder would have been extra humiliating for the Hustlers actress. Besides being nearly two…

The heartbroken 77-year-old former Hollywood lighting director cries he’s yet to see two-year-old grandson Archie or granddaughter Lilibet, born June 4 and just added to Britain’s line of royal succession. Thomas vows to take Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39, to court “in the very near future” if they continue to forbid him to see the kiddies.

VIN STILL REVS UP FEUD WITH THE ROCK That famous Fast and Furious feud between DWAYNE JOHNSON, 49, and VIN DIESEL, 54, still seems stuck between a rock and a hard place! Vin, who launched the action-packed franchise in 2001 and currently headlines its ninth hit installment, recently threw out this dig at The Rock’s role as federal agent Luke Hobbs: “It was a tough character to embody, the Hobbs character. My approach at the time was a lot of tough love to assist in getting that performance where it needed to be.” The shady quip, however, has The Rock rolling with laughter! “I think everyone had a laugh at that. And I’ll leave it at that,” spills Dwayne. “And I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10…

ACTOR Jerry O’Connell, who made his feature film debut at age 12 in 1986’s Stand by Me as chunky goofball Vern, has parlayed his guest gigs on The Talk into a regular co-host spot, replacing tart-tongued Sharon Osbourne. The move makes the Kangaroo Jack star the first man to have a full-time seat at the chatfest’s table as it returns to CBS for season 12. Here are ten things you don’t know about the 47-year-old TV yakker. 1 Born in New York City, he has dual American and British citizenships because his father hails from England. 2 His ancestry is half Irish, one quarter Italian and one quarter Polish. 3 During his childhood in Manhattan, The Princess Bride’s Wallace Shawn was one of his neighbors. 4 He attended the Professional…

FIENDISH Dating Game Killer Rodney Alcala — the 77-year-old serial strangler — died in a cage, taking the truth about 130 suspected slayings to his grave! Death row monster Alcala, who died from natural causes in a California hospital on July 24, was convicted of raping and snuffing seven victims mostly in their 20s. His youngest victim was 12-year-old Robin Samsoe, who was on her way to ballet class in 1979 when he attacked. “He honed in on us, like a shark in the water, and he goes, ‘Can I take your girls’ pictures?’” recalls her friend. Robin never made it to her class. The twisted slimeball earned his nickname for appearing on an episode of The Dating Game in 1978 — in the middle of his crime spree. The…

TV CHEF Mario Batali and his former partner have agreed to pay $600,000 to employees who were sexually harassed at their restaurants! The money will go to at least 20 men and women who worked at three Manhattan eateries owned by The Chew alum, a former Iron Chef, and Joe Bastianich. An investigation revealed a sexualized culture so rife with harassment and retaliation that it violated state and city human rights laws, says New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Women regularly endured sexual comments, groping and kisses against their will, while one manager told servers to get breast implants, the investigation found. “Batali and Bastianich permitted an intolerable work environment and allowed shameful behavior that is inappropriate in any setting,” James claims. “Celebrity and fame does not absolve someone…

TV QUEEN Kyle Richards thought she was a goner when she bumped into a beehive in her backyard and got stung repeatedly — triggering a deadly allergic reaction. Security footage caught the terrified 52-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star — who keeps special allergy medication in her home — frantically dodging the angry insects. “My family wasn’t home and the people that work for me couldn’t hear me screaming for help,” she recalls. “My landline wouldn’t dial 911 and my EpiPen [to treat allergens] was defective and wouldn’t open.” The video shows her finally escaping the toxic swarm by jumping into the pool. “I can laugh at this video now — but what you can’t see is that [the bees] were in my hair and were literally chasing me,”…

HARDHEADED Sean Penn is refusing to work on his new TV show until the entire cast and crew are vaccinated for COVID. Penn, 60, is fully vaccinated, and his demand could jeopardize the series, Gaslit, which has just weeks left to film, sources say. Gaslit’s studio has mandated vaccines only for cast members and those who come in close proximity to the actors. That’s not good enough for Penn, who’s offered to pay for the vaccines through his organization, CORE.…

TWO and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher confesses his family stinks — he, actress wife Mila Kunis and their two young whelps don’t bathe for days on end! Ashton, 43, and Ukrainian-born beauty Mila, 38, confess they hate scrubbing soap into their sensitive skin and only toss daughter Wyatt, 6, and son Dimitri, 4, in the tub when they see dirt coating their hides. “Here’s the thing: If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point,” he dishes. The hinky hygiene continues with the couple, who costarred on the hit sitcom That ’70s Show from 1998 to 2006, but didn’t become a real-life couple until after his 2013 divorce from Demi Moore and her split from Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin. Ashton admits to…
