HEARTBROKEN Jimmy Kimmel is barely holding it together after losing his BFF and longtime bandleader Cleto Escobedo — and GLOBE can reveal friends fear the late-night cutup is on the verge of a breakdown. “Jimmy is spiraling,” snitches a spy. “He’s known Cleto since he was just a kid and he never expected him to be gone this soon. It’s got Jimmy facing his own mortality and questioning everything. He’s in a very dark place.” Escobedo’s sudden death at age 59 came less than two months after ABC booted Kimmel, 58, off the air for his comments about right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s murder. Despite condemning Kirk’s killing during his Sept. 15 broadcast, calling it “horrible and monstrous,” critics accused Kimmel of politicizing the tragedy. The network pulled the plug for…

DEVASTATED Dolly Parton is drowning in grief more than eight months after the death of her beloved husband, Carl Dean, tipsters tell GLOBE. “She’s desperately trying to rally herself back to work, but it is very difficult. The loss is hitting her so hard. Her friends are very worried,” an insider confides.

As readers know, the Baby girl star and the country singer, 58, share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and 14-year-old Faith Margaret. “The girls have hardly seen Keith in the last six months as he’s been touring and they’ve been overseas with Nicole,” says an insider. “They miss him…

LONGTIME pal Russell Crowe has been a rock for Nicole Kidman as she picks up the pieces after her devastating split from Keith Urban, say sources who dish sparks are flying between the old friends. “Russell has been through his own heartbreaking divorce after 15 years of marriage so he can empathize with Nicole in a way that not everyone in her world can,” notes an insider. “He’s been on the phone to her nearly every day just to check in and lift her spirits. They even managed to meet up for coffee not that long ago. Nicole is putting on a brave face but she’s been rocked by this. Russell has helped to steady her and she’s so grateful.” The two Oscar winners met as teenagers in Australia where…

BELOVED Bruce Willis is being showered with attention this holiday season by devoted wife Emma Heming and family as the Die Hard hero continues to battle frontotemporal dementia (FTD), sources say. “The whole family feels incredibly blessed to still have Bruce here for the holidays, and this could be his last Christmas,” an insider shares. “He was always the ultimate Santa Claus. He used to go so over the top with gifts. Now they see this as their chance to give him some of that immense love and TLC back.” Bruce, 70, appeared to be in good spirits during a recent beach-front stroll in Los Angeles with a caretaker, who kept hold of the frail Hollywood legend’s hand. The sighting comes after Emma revealed that she moved her hubby out…
