WIMPY Danny DeVito is still “drunk in love” with Rhea Perlman, his on-again, off-again wife of 42 years, but he’s too chicken to ask to get back together — even though pals are pleading with him to stop being such a coward. The Ruthless People star, 79, and the Cheers alum, 76, who share three children, have continued to enjoy romantic time together since separating in 2012, according to an insider. “We don’t live together anymore, but we are together in a lot of ways,” Danny said, adding he and Rhea, who tied the knot in 1982, still talk every day. “They don’t need this label of being ‘reconciled,’ they have it pretty good now,” the source squeals. “But everyone knows he’s absolutely besotted with Rhea. “He consults her on important…

She’s shaky on stage, she’s jittery, her moods are all over the place — and she looks gaunt because her cheeks are sunken in. It’s not good!” The Since U Been Gone singer, who recently admitted to taking a weight loss drug to help her shed nearly 60 pounds, started…

SLY Daniel Stern managed to pull a fast one on notorious tightwad Donald Trump while shooting Home Alone 2: Lost in New York! At the time, the former president owned the iconic Plaza Hotel, which producers wanted to use as a location for the 1992 movie, so they asked Stern to meet with Trump. “He was not a great conversationalist and kind of a nothing personality,” the City Slickers actor writes in his memoir, Home and Alone. He also recounts how one night during filming, he and a couple of crew members were having a drink at the hotel’s posh bar, the Oak Room, when Trump and his then wife Ivana wandered in. “Donald spotted us and proclaimed so everyone could hear that he would be picking up the tab…

SCANDAL-scarred hero Mike Houston McClendon was once flying high in the U.S. Air Force — but the retired brigadier general has seen his reputation nosedive after being arrested for allegedly raping a minor! McClendon, 69, was brought in for questioning after a traffic stop in north Texas when a deputy realized the military man was a person of interest in a sex assault investigation. Following an interview at the Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office, the former flyboy was arrested and charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 — a first-degree felony. According to court documents, the alleged offense occurred on Jan. 1, 2014. A 1975 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, McClendon spent more than 10,000 hours in the cockpits of over 35 different aircraft…

NASCAR fans were horrified after a bitter punch-up exploded on-camera between drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch, the latest bad blood in their ongoing feud. The live TV brawl followed a second-lap crash when Busch, 39, knocked Stenhouse, 36, who was trying to pass him, into the wall taking him out of the May 19 race later won by Joey Logano at North Carolina’s North Wilkesboro Speedway. Furious Stenhouse moved his wrecked car down the pit lane and pulled into Busch’s stall, where he began yelling at his rival’s team. Later, Busch was videoed during his 30-second confrontation with Stenhouse that saw the drivers trading off punches and shoving matches between their pit crews before everyone was separated. “You hit the fence and then you hit me,” Stenhouse can…

A NAUSEATING video showing brutal music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs viciously attacking his former galpal Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway — kicking and manhandling the songbird before dragging her by her hair and hoodie back to his room — has Hollywood howling for justice, but prosecutors won’t charge the vicious thug. The violent video of domestic abuse by cowardly Combs, now 54, on the 37-year-old Me & U singer was recorded by security cameras on March 5, 2016, at Century City’s Inter-Continental Hotel. Diddy reportedly hushed up the horrific incident by paying the hotel $50,000 for the tape, but it suddenly surfaced May 17, with red-faced L.A. prosecutors saying they have no choice but to let the bullying creep off the hook because “unfortunately” the three-year statute of limitations…

PIRATES of the Caribbean superstar Johnny Depp won $15 million in his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard two years ago, but their televised trial exposing the sleazy private details of their brief, stormy marriage seems to have scuttled both their lives — especially hers. The 38-year-old Aquaman beauty’s pretty much washed up as far as movies go — she’s fled Tinseltown for Madrid, Spain, where she won’t be recognized while raising three-year-old daughter Oonagh, born via surrogate with no dude involved. Johnny, 61, has made a few projects, but his star has dimmed, with Pirates bigwigs planning reboots and sequels without him. Fittingly, their wild, love-hate affair and hellish 15-month marriage is a perfect script for a juicy B-movie potboiler. Here’s the plot: Up-and-coming bisexual actress breaks up with…

THE bad blood between singer Zac Brown and his estranged wife of four months, Kelly Yazdi, exploded after he filed a suit demanding she take down a social media post he claims smears his reputation. Hours later the 45-year-old Chicken Fried crooner was granted a temporary restraining order against the 33-year-old stuntwoman and model who he proposed to in 2022, wed last Aug. 31 and split with just four months later. The As She’s Walking Away singer claimed Kelly’s post, which he demanded be removed, violated a nondisclosure pact and painted him as a controlling lout, ruining his popularity. While he wasn’t specific about the post, a May 4 note on her Instagram site doesn’t name him, but says: “Projections. Gaslighting. Threatening. Stonewalling. Those are the ingredients of narcissistic abuse. “That…

It’s where all her problems were created, and what she needs now, more than ever, is to get back to her roots.” Tipsters tattle Britney, 42, caught the attention of relatives when she shared a photo on social media of her mom, Lynne, 69, alongside her younger sister Jamie Lynn’s daughters — Maddie, 15, and Ivey Joan, 6.

STARRY-EYED Andy Cohen was all hearts and flowers as he swooned over a mash note his BFF John Mayer wrote to stop nosy parkers from speculating over whether the two BFFs are having sex! The 46-year-old musician wrote the letter after the gay 55-year-old Bravolebrity was pushed once too often over just how deep their passions run — they both admit they “love” each other, but insist the relationship is platonic. “People seem dubious that a straight rock star can have a close, platonic relationship with a gay TV personality,” Mayer wrote to a reporter who recently pushed Andy’s buttons. “To suggest that people are dubious of a friendship like mine and Andy’s is to undermine the public’s ability to accept and understand diversity in all facets of culture, be it…

The network recently struck a three-year deal to air the two events. But last month, both Miss USA Noelia Voigt and Miss Teen USA UmaSofia Srivastava relinquished their crowns, with one saying she needed a mental health holiday from all the bullying in the “toxic work environment” of the organization and the other offering support by following in her footsteps. “We don’t condone any kind of bullying — obviously all of that stuff is very, very concerning,” says Brad Schwartz, president of entertainment at The CW. “We’re going to take a minute and investigate it” before deciding whether…

MONEY magnet King Charles is mega-wealthy, with $770 million in his coffers — and that’s over $300 million more than his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, ever had in HER checking account! The rich royal, 75, apparently has a green thumb when it comes to minting money — since his net worth jumped by $12 million in the last year alone, thanks to savvy financial planning.

The blabbermouth blonde crudely spouted about her dream oldster, saying: “I feel sexually attracted to Robert De Niro, I always have and I would like to be penetrated by him.” Unfortunately, her confession caused an awkward stir because she made it while appearing on the same late-night TV show where the movie Godfather arrived with his latest moll, TIFFANY CHEN, 45, baby mama of his seventh kid, year-old GIA. “I couldn’t even go near him backstage because his girlfriend’s back there and I don’t want her to think that I’m making…

SOUSED Southern Charm alum Kathryn Dennis was blitzed behind the wheel when she was involved in a three-car collision in South Carolina, lawmen say. An officer on the scene claims the reality belle had “glossy eyes and an odor of alcohol coming from her person.” Dennis, 32, was booked for DUI and driving with an open container.

FILMMAKER MORGAN SPURLOCK suffered for his art — his funny and somewhat horrifying 2004 documentary Super Size Me showed him eating only McDonald’s menu items for 30 days in a row as his weight ballooned and his health cratered! He gained about 25 pounds, became a flop in bed with his girlfriend, and had to detox afterward on a vegan diet. The popular documentary did more than entertain the overeating masses — fast-food eateries began paying more attention to their calorie counts and McDonald’s discontinued its “super size” option just six weeks after the movie opened.…
