FOX geezer Rupert Murdoch has doddered down the aisle for a fifth time — at age 93! The right-wing media mogul married Elena Zhukova — a retired molecular biologist 26 years his junior — at Moraga, the groom’s Tuscan-style Bel Air, Calif., winery after an engagement of under a year. The bride, 67, wore white, while the nonagenarian wore a black suit and sneakers. Rupert stepped down from his empire last November and handed the reins to elder son Lachlan Murdoch, 52. New wife Elena is at home with very rich men — her first husband, Alexander Zhukov, is a billionaire energy investor, and Rupert is worth $20 billion. The media titan retied the knot after a near-miss with retired dental hygienist Ann Lesley Smith, 67 — he called off…

DISGRACED Prince Andrew’s refusal to vacate Royal Lodge has turned into a bitter modern-day siege between him and his brother King Charles, who considers the rebuff a rude slap in the face to his royal authority. In fact, Andrew’s refusal to move out of the historic $40 million residence with 30 rooms and seven bedrooms is being dubbed “the siege of the Royal Lodge” by palace insiders. “The whole situation has exploded into bitterness between the Windsors,” says a royal insider. “Charles is fed up with his younger brother and the disgrace he’s brought on the family. “He sees no reason to continue to reward Andrew by allowing him the perk of such a magnificent home.” Indeed, Andrew’s friendship with the late American pedophile and teen sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein…

TWO-BIT actor Nick Pasqual — who appeared in a single episode of How I Met Your Mother — will be starring at an attempted murder trial in California after stabbing his estranged galpal more than 20 times and trying to flee the country, investigators say. The blade-wielding butcher burst into the Sunland home of Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn — known for her work on Rebel Moon and Mean Girls — and slashed her neck, arms, hands and abdomen, cops charge. Injured Allie, 35, lay in the blood-spattered residence until she was discovered by Christine White, her surrogate mother. “This is not the kind of thing that should happen to anybody,” Christine fumes. “I found her and I had to go into the bedroom where it happened. That wasn’t a…

MURDERED little beauty queen Jon-Benét Ramsey’s outraged father is breaking 27 years of silence and blaming bungling Boulder, Colo., cops for letting his precious, six-year-old daughter’s killer get away! The grief-haunted, 80-year-old dad insists local police rejected his repeated pleas to have the FBI analyze DNA found on the girl’s corpse — and now accuses the incompetent department of losing the last biological evidence linked to the crime! “I have no other reason to explain logically why they wouldn’t test it or allow another agency to test it,” says Ramsey. “Unfortunately, that is a suspicion I have. “They have been very reluctant to tell us anything — it’s a very strange environment. For 27 years we have been trying to get them to accept help and give the DNA evidence…

HERE’S a laugh! Madonna fan Justen Lipeles has slapped the Material Girl with a lawsuit charging performances on her current Celebration tour are too sexual. Seriously! But saying Madonna’s songs and onstage antics are too sexy is like complaining the ocean is too wet! It’s hard to believe this dude is a fan. Where has this numbskull been during the 65-year-old singer’s more than 40-year career that’s literally soaked with sex and raunch? Her trademark hit tune and Material Girl alter ego is about a beauty who uses her sexiness to manipulate rich men into giving her expensive stuff. Another early hit, Papa Don’t Preach, has an unmarried young girl telling her dad she’s knocked up and will keep the baby instead of getting an abortion or giving it up…

YELLOWSTONE co-stars Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison took a page from their on-screen love affair — playing ranch hands Walker and Laramie — by getting hitched and riding off into the sunset together in real life! Actor and alt-country musician Ryan, 43, tied the knot with 34-year-old Hassie in a small ceremony at her family farm in Dallas, Texas — and honored the show where they tumbled for each other by kickin’ it in a “cowboy black-tie” after-party. “There was a palpable sense of love and energy in the air, a kind of magic that’s hard to describe,” says Hassie. “Seeing generations from both sides of our families, our friends, and especially the children all coming together was such a blessing. “And then there was the moment I locked eyes with…

FUMING Lou Ferrigno — the muscle-bound star of TV’s The Incredible Hulk — is suing his own daughter for elder abuse as their monstrous family feud rages on! Lou, 72, groans he’s losing gobs of greenbacks because 43-year-old Shanna Ferrigno — one of his three adult kids, who had been his trusted social media manager for more than a decade — refuses to hand over the log-ins for his popular Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts! The bombshell court documents explain the Pumping Iron stud once derived “significant income” from promoting his “events, appearances and movies” to millions of fans through the online channels — but state stubborn Shanna is costing him major moolah by not updating the sites since August 2023 and holding the sign-ins “hostage!” Shanna insists she’s done…

STINKER Tuen Kit Lee — a Massachusetts fugitive dubbed the Bad Breath Rapist for his horrendous halitosis — was nabbed in the San Francisco Bay area after 16 years on the lam, authorities say. According to the U.S. Marshals Service, the pungent perp was convicted in 2007 of kidnapping and raping a co-worker at knifepoint in suburban Boston — but vanished before his sentencing. Lawmen say they located the louse in California through open-source intelligence images and social media. Lee was shacking up on the West Coast with a gal in a multimillion-dollar home, but cops cuffed the smelly suspect after pulling over his vehicle. Authorities claim the accused pretended to be someone else before finally coming clean. But Massachusetts State Police dish, “He was ultimately identified by DNA — and…

DISGRACED Kanye West has just been slugged with a sexual harassment lawsuit by his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta, who claims the rapper said and did disgusting things to her during her 14-month work stint. The busty 35-year beauty claims she was raking in $1 million a year when West, 46, lured her away from her OnlyFans platform to be his assistant. But during her time with him from July 2021 to October 2022, she claims Kim Kardashian’s ex-hubby “was fixated on the penis size of her boyfriends,” constantly pestering her about the subject, and told her he pleasured himself to the sound of her voice during their phone calls. Lauren also charges the anti-Semitism–spouting rapper pleasured himself in front of her! The curvy babe claims Kanye also failed on his promise…

THE bitter battle between exes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has spread to their children — and the Troy hunk is losing with three of his six kids legally changing their last moniker to Jolie. The most recent name-dropping comes from Brad and Angelina’s biological daughter Shiloh, who filed on her May 27 18th birthday to have her handle changed from Shiloh Jolie-Pitt to “Shiloh Jolie,” say sources. And Brad, 60, can’t blame the change as 49-year-old Angie’s revenge in their bitter, longtime divorce and custody battle, insists an insider, who notes: “Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it.” Previously, adopted kids Maddox, 22, and Zahara, 19, have sent Brad’s surname to the pits. In 2021, a report…

LATE legend Michael Jackson’s $2 billion estate is tied up in an ugly dispute with the IRS over taxes, leaving the King of Pop’s three adult children — and ailing 94-year-old mom — scrambling for cash while they’re iced out of their inheritance, tipsters tattle. Jackson matriarch Katherine and MJ’s kids — Prince, 27, Paris, 26, and 22-year-old Bigi, who is also known as Blanket — were blindsided by a bombshell legal filing on May 28, sources spill. In court documents, Jackson’s executors John Branca and John McClain argue they cannot “possibly determine what amount could be safely distributed” to the four heirs from their tremendous trust fund until the feds decide on the exact value of Michael’s roughly $1.2 billion-plus music catalog — half of which is reportedly being…

LENNY SHUNS SEX AND POT Rockers are supposed to live a life of “sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll,” but for It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over singer LENNY KRAVITZ — it’s mostly over! The 60-year-old, who’s had his choice of groupies and was once married to Hollywood hottie LISA BONET, swears he’s been celibate for NINE YEARS and plans to stay that way until he marries a dream lover. “It’s a spiritual thing,” he sighs. “I think sex and intimacy is very important. It’s just that I’m going to do it with my wife.” What changed him was that he was “becoming a player” while wed to Lisa from 1987 to 1993, and “I didn’t like that guy.” As for drugs, the Are You Gonna Go My Way music…

GREEDY gal Ina Thea Kenoyer confessed to fatally poisoning her beau in North Dakota after thinking he’d inherited $30 million — but later learned the windfall was bogus, lawmen say. Steven Edward Riley Jr., 51, fell ill as he headed to the airport with friends to meet with an alleged lawyer about his make-believe bonanza. Court documents state he complained of stomach pains and began vomiting — but Kenoyer insisted he had heat stroke and would recover with rest. He later died at a hospital. Pals claim the black widow had previously discussed her desire to off her man. A coroner determined his body contained toxic levels of ethylene glycol — the main chemical in antifreeze! Meanwhile, Kenoyer tried to stake her claim to Riley’s dough — but investigators told her…

SUSPECTED serial killer Rex Heuermann — who’s accused of snuffing out four hookers and burying their bodies at New York’s Gilgo Beach two decades ago — is being charged in additional murders, law enforcement sources spill.

The married architect, 60, insists he’s innocent — but remains in custody pending trial.…

GAFFE-PRONE Pat Sajak, who took his final spin on Wheel of Fortune earlier this month, has revealed the REAL reason he quit after more than 40 years and 8,000 episodes — he wanted to get out while the getting was good! In a televised interview with his 29-year-old daughter, Maggie — who is the game show’s social media correspondent — the 77-year-old host says his mantra is: “I’d rather leave a couple years too early than too late!” “Could I still do it? Yeah. I think I could for a while,” he says, but adds there are “other things in life” he wants to do. With new host Ryan Seacrest, 49, taking the helm of the longest-running syndicated game show in the U.S. in September, Sajak says he’ll happily fill…

ACTOR Johnny Wactor’s senseless murder has General Hospital’s cast and crew wondering if the soap opera has been cursed, an insider tells GLOBE! Wactor, 37, who starred as Brando Corbin on GH from 2020 to 2022, was fatally shot on May 25 in Los Angeles after he confronted thieves who were trying to steal his car’s catalytic converter. “Johnny was really wellliked and kept in touch with people.
