Doesn’t Matter That we’re Happy & Not Bothering Anyone.” And when one troll questioned the Def Jam record exec’s “motives and intentions,” Cher hit back with: “Haven’t You Got Anything Else 2 Do!?

RECKLESS Vladimir Putin is in the crosshairs of a homegrown “military mutiny” to replace him in a coup threats to use nuclear weapons in his failed Ukraine invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes the Kremlin kingpin “isn’t bluffing” about A-bombs, but a British intelligence expert says the detestable move would trigger Putin’s demise. “A military mutiny is the most likely end for Putin’s rule,” predicts the expert. “Faced with Putin’s recklessness and the need to prevent use of nuclear weapons, the military are most likely to stage a coup to depose him.” Ironically, the likely replacement for 70-year-old Putin is his closest pal, ruthless businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, boss of the vicious Wagner Group mercenaries accused of war atrocities.…

NEARLY 65 million Americans have experienced back pain, and many have reached for lidocaine patches in an attempt to relieve their agony. But experts caution the product’s effectiveness may be limited and warn the topical treatment has numerous potential side effects. The prescription-strength patches are adhesive fabric pads containing a solution that’s 5 percent lidocaine. Similar items can be purchased over the counter containing 4 percent of the local anesthetic. Both formulations are meant to be used once and discarded. Lidocaine binds to proteins in nerve cell membranes to knock out pain. The FDA has approved the prescription patches for treatment of postherpetic neuralgia — a complication of shingles affecting nerve fibers. A 2004 study by a pharma-ceutical company discovered people with moderate to severe low back pain found relief…
