KIERAN LEAKS URINATION SCENE Talk about an outrageous outtake! KIERAN CULKIN, 40, was clearly thinking out of the box while shooting a tense Succession scene with ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD — whose megalomaniacal character, Lukas Matsson, urinates against a wall during a bitter business negotiation. “One take they didn’t use,” says Kieran, “is where Lukas goes and pees on the rock.

I went up and just unzipped and tried to pee next to him, which wasn’t in the script.” Yikes. “I couldn’t pee, and then I remembered that it had been established that Roman couldn’t pee in front of other men,” he recalls, adding, “So then I just started peeing next to him, and as I was peeing, I started going into the scene,…

BOOZY Florida birdbrain Suzanne Mulalley got her feathers ruffled and fatally shot her pet parrot during a family squabble, lawmen say. Mulalley, 62, was liquored up in Largo when the heartless harpy turned a .380 caliber pistol on her African gray — and after committing the fowl killing, she started pecking at her husband, according to an arrest affidavit. The document states cops found the blotto battleax and hubby Steven, 66, bickering outside their house and “pushing each other.” Cops claim during the flap, meanie Mulalley used a spray bottle to soak her spouse, who was also soused.

Fasting wrecks fertility + THE intermittent fasting fad popular with celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman and Mark Wahlberg may cause fertility problems! A new study out of the University of East Anglia in England found the diet — which consists of only eating during specific time frames — negatively impacted the production of sperm and eggs in zebra fish.

The bash at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Fla., was totally bananas featuring “a special ape-healthy cake,” according to the center’s director, Patti Ragan. “We frosted it with mashed bananas and added a little bit of blue food coloring and then we wrote his name in blueberries.” And befitting his name, he got to monkey around with lots of bubbles. “We had tubs of bubble bath and paper bubbles everywhere,” says Ragan. The 4-foot-11, 185-pound chimp went ape over his guests, too, says Ragan, who adds, “He just wanted…
