REFORMED Tinseltown trainwreck Mel Gibson is alarmed with Shia LaBeouf’s public meltdowns and has reached out to rescue the Hollywood hell-raiser after he went off the rails in a violent Mardi Gras meltdown, sources tell GLOBE. The 39-year-old Transformers star was busted on two counts of simple battery for allegedly brawling at the New Orleans celebration Feb. 17 and following his release from jail immediately ran back to the raucous street party, where he was spotted dancing and drinking a beer, say sources. Earlier, Shia, who’s reportedly separated from actress-wife Mia Goth, mom of his 3-year-old daughter, was booted from a bar for being “somewhat belligerent,” returned, punched one person in the body and another “in the nose,” say cops. A video caught Shia being held down by at least…

BIGMOUTH Whoopi Goldberg is on the hotseat again after a resurfaced clip of The View showed her apparently defending disgraced director Roman Polanski for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl. In 1977, the then-43-year-old Chinatown director, who was charged with drugging and raping barely teenaged Samantha Geimer, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of unlawful sex with a minor and then fled to Europe to escape possible jail time. But in a shocking 2009 View clip that recently appeared on the X social media channel, Whoopi seemed to defend Polanski, now 92 and living in France, to then cohost Sherri Shepherd. “I know it wasn’t rape rape,” the Sister Act actress blurted back then. “I think it was something else, but I don't believe that it was rape rape.” Whoopi then…

SCREEN superhero Krysten Ritter is reprising her role as tough cookie PI Jessica Jones in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again. Krysten, 44, says she’s “very thrilled to be back in Jessica’s boots,” nearly six years after the end of the character’s eponymous Netflix series. Here are 10 things you don’t know about the Breaking Bad and Don’t Trust the B----in Apartment 23 alum. 1 She grew up on a farm in rural Pennsylvania and had to feed cows every day as part of her chores. 2 At 15, she was discovered at a mall shoe store by a modeling scout. 3 She transitioned into acting after being cast in a fast-food commercial. 4 Her hair is naturally black, and she’s joked, “If there’s a goth role, you have…

REALITY-rude boy Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of Los Angeles, but his sister, Stephanie Pratt, won’t be voting for him! Spencer, 42, who starred on The Hills with now wife Heidi Montag, 39, was spurred to make his political debut after the house the couple lived in with their two sons burned to the ground in the Pacific Palisades wildfire in L.A. last year. His parents also lost their home. But Stephanie, 39, who often butted heads with her brother on The Hills and has been estranged from him and Heidi for years, will definitely not be joining his campaign team. “LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor. A vote for him is a vote for stupidity,” she wrote on X, adding in a follow-up post, “He’s…

A BUMBLING beauty influencer in China lost face — and about 140,000 followers — after her video filter glitched and revealed her true mug, sources say. Viral social media clips show the livestreamer, whose name was not publicized, preening before the camera as her image switches from that of a thin young woman with a porcelain complexion to a decidedly more mature and fuller-faced lady with a warmer skin tone. The gal was said to have hemorrhaged followers after the alleged catastrophe, but some actually preferred her natural appearance. “She looks better without the filter,” insists one netizen, while another remarks, “I think her real face is much prettier.” Critics wonder if the supposed faux pas is a fraud — but admit filters and artificial intelligence have increasingly made such…

TROUBLED Food Network star Anne Burrell hid private torment until her shocking suicide — but GLOBE can now reveal the celebrity chef left behind haunting breadcrumbs about her dark final days in a series of sobering messages. While investigating the Worst Cooks in America host’s unexpected passing on June 17 at age 55, cops uncovered a “suicidal” note, according to a new police report. Dated the morning of Anne’s death, the missive was found in the primary bedroom at her Brooklyn, N.Y., home. It wasn’t the only window into the TV personality’s chilling mindset, though: “Suicidal” journal entries reportedly sat atop her uncharacteristically made bed. The eerily cleaned-up quarters allegedly tipped husband Stuart Claxton off that something was terribly wrong, with the police report detailing how it wasn’t “normal.” Soon…

DESPERATE diva Jennifer Lopez is hoping that nuzzling up to Bad Bunny will give her love life and career a bounce, sources say. “She’s very stressed about her popularity right now and is convinced cuddling up with Bad Bunny could give her the boost she needs,” especially after his history-making appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show, a source tells GLOBE. Ahead of the global icon’s big performance, the 56-year-old Hustlers beauty posted a fawning message to him on Instagram. “Sending you all the love, positivity and the biggest hug in the world! We are all behind you tonight. I know that you are going to kill it!” J.Lo is said to be convinced that the 32-year-old rapper, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is exactly what she needs to…

COLBERT WENT CRAZY OVER PULLED GUEST Late-night motormouth STEPHEN COLBERT is fuming after CBS bigwigs allegedly caved to PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP by axing an appearance on his show by Texas Democratic senatorial candidate JAMES TALARICO, a huge critic of The Donald. “I was told, in some uncertain terms, that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on,” says the funnyman. Network honchos reportedly banned the Talarico segment on a weak argument that it violated the Trump-controlled FCC’s “equal time” rule. A fuming Colbert spouts: “Let’s just call this what it is: Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV, OK? He’s like a toddler … He gets…

BELEAGUERED King Charles is planning to abruptly abdicate the throne to son Prince William, citing health issues, sources say. But in reality, the dying monarch wants to bail on his short-lived reign over fears that the criminal investigation into his trouble-magnet brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may expose a massive palace cover-up that could put the $28 billion royal empire at risk, insiders tell GLOBE. Andrew was arrested for questioning on Feb. 19 — his 66th birthday — by U.K. investigators, who scoured his current and former homes for possible evidence to prove he shared confidential government secrets with pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein in a moneymaking side hustle, while the then-prince served as the nation’s official trade envoy from 2001 to 2011. While publicly supporting the investigation, sources say cancer-stricken Charles, 77,…

DEVASTATED dad Jeff Johnson dropped out of the Minnesota governor’s Republican primary race after his daughter Hallie Marie Tobler was stabbed to death, with her wounded husband reportedly admitting her slaughter. Officers arrested Dylan Tobler, 23, and charged him with the second-degree murder of his 22-year-old wife in their St. Cloud, Minn., apartment Feb. 7, adding that he allegedly admitted her fatal wounds were “his fault” as were his injuries. According to cops, a person identified as “Witness A” told them they went to Hallie’s apartment after not having heard from or seen her for four days. “Witness A indicated they knocked on the door for about 15 minutes and it was eventually unlocked from the inside,” says a police report. “Witness A stated they entered and found [Hallie] deceased…

GODFATHER icon Robert Duvall — who died at 95 after a seven-decade career that thrilled millions — had a dangerous, real-life brush with the Mafia before playing the Don’s consigliere, Tom Hagen, in the 1972 mob drama! According to insiders who were on-set, Duvall befriended real-life Mafia-linked thugs based in New York’s East Harlem — where much of the film was shot — to get a grasp of “the life” while prepping for the role. What emerged was an impression of loyalty before all else — the mindset he used to shape Hagen, the orphan who had been found by Don Vito Corleone’s son Sonny and adopted by his family. According to sources, Duvall also met with real-life mobsters from the notorious Colombo and Bufalino crime families on the Godfather…

THE shocking bloodbath during a recent youth hockey game in Rhode Island at the hands of a gun-wielding trans woman is only the latest in a disturbing spate of mass murders perpetrated by transitioning killers. Now, experts are concerned the treatment these gendernonconforming people are receiving may be fueling their savagery. Court docs reveal Robert Dorgan underwent gender reassignment in 2020 — nearly six years before storming Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket to rain bullets on ex-wife Rhonda Dorgan, 52, and son Aidan, 23, as son Colin, 17, competed on the ice. The 56-year-old’s former in-laws and a family friend were also critically injured during the Feb. 16 massacre, which saw parents and kids fleeing in panic. Dorgan, who went by the name Roberta Esposito, died via suicide after…

BRITISH screen stud Idris Elba has been touting himself for years to be the next James Bond but still hasn’t gotten the call, and insiders say the furious hunk is warning 007 honchos that it’ll be their loss if he doesn’t get the coveted part. The 53-year-old star’s patience is wearing thin waiting for Bond bigwigs to call. “Idris has spent the last 10-plus years being the media’s favorite choice to follow Daniel Craig’s run as James Bond,” says an insider. “But now that the role is officially available and the next film is being prepared, he’s more annoyed than anything else that it’s taken this long and that if he were to take the role, he’d be doing it in late middle age.” According to a source close to…

NORTH KOREAN strongman Kim Jong-un has named his teen daughter as his successor, leaving experts predicting the move will trigger a vicious bloodbath among other rivals for his Hermit Kingdom throne! For years, Kim’s 38-year-old sister, Kim Yo-jong, was presumed to become the totalitarian communist nation’s Supreme Leader following his death after serving as the chainsmoking dictator’s “right hand” and bloody enforcer for years. But now South Korea’s National Intelligence Service has quietly informed leaders that Kim, 42, has crowned middle child Kim Ju-ae, 13, as his nation’s next head. The NIS based the assessment on seeing Ju-ae’s prominence at events like ballistic missile testings, military parades and last September’s state visit to Beijing — as well as rare photos showing her walking side by side with her tyrant dad…

SASSY songbird Sabrina Carpenter is getting dragged by music lovers who claim her tune Tears is a rip-off of Diana Ross’ 1980 disco hit Upside Down. One critic writes on Reddit, “Sooo guys, please let me know what you think but also hear me out. I have been saying for a minute now that Sabrina Carpenter’s Tears sounds identical to a disco song from the 80s. “I couldn’t put my finger on it, and I love a good disco song. But tonight, I took a lil sippy of my marg and listened to my Lady Di (Ms. Ross) playlist, and heard Upside Down. “As soon as I heard it, I knew this was the song. I am so shocked no one has mentioned the parallels between the two.” Other listeners…

BIG Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar describes himself as a “masked vigilante,” but others are calling him an “angel” who has been secretly donating money to help people pay massive medical bills. The 44-year-old British-Indian actor, who played Raj Koothrappali on the hit sitcom during its 12-season run from 2007 to 2019, estimates he and wife Neha Kapur, 41, are worth $45 million and secretly paying medical bills makes them happy. Laughingly calling it “my masked vigilante thing,” Kunal notes, “Money has given me greater freedom, and the greatest gift is the ability to give back, to change people’s lives. “We also support animal charities because we love dogs. But what I really love to do is go on GoFundMe at night and just pay random families’ medical bills. That’s…

JANE FONDA made her screen debut opposite ANTHONY PERKINS in the unheralded 1960 flick Tall Story. The future Oscar winner plays a college coed looking for a husband who sets her sights on a basketball star portrayed by Perkins. The romantic comedy was a far cry from Perkins’ next film, the spine-tingling Alfred Hitchcock classic Psycho, in which he played troubled motel owner Norman Bates. Jane’s breakout role came five years later in the offbeat Western Cat Ballou.…

TWO-TIME divorcée Jennifer Aniston is secretly engaged to hypnotist lover Jim Curtis, GLOBE can exclusively reveal — but there’s already drama surrounding the duo’s wedding. According to insiders, the bride-to-be’s nerves are frayed as she tries to discreetly tackle the planning process while catering to the wants of famous pals. “The biggest conundrum for her is whether they should have a big wedding or just elope,” spills a source. “They’ve both had big weddings before, so in a lot of ways it makes more sense to elope.” But some supersized egos will be bruised if Jen, 57, and Jim, 50, go the intimate route, the source claims. “Their friends have been such a big part of their love story,” the source admits. As the wellness author explained himself, he and…

CONVICTED predator R. Kelly turned victim Reshona Landfair’s existence into a living hell from the ages of 13 to 26 — and now she’s revealing the shocking depths of the fallen R&B superstar’s depravity in an explosive new tell-all. After testifying against the monster musician as Jane Doe, Landfair takes back her voice in Who’s Watching Shorty? Reclaiming Myself From the Shame of R. Kelly’s Abuse, detailing how their seedy relationship began when she was just 12 and escalated to him grooming and sexually abusing her within a year! Landfair alleges the then-30-year-old Kelly — born Robert Sylvester Kelly — initially coaxed her into having phone sex, instructing the middle schooler to talk dirty and touch herself. “He reassured me that what we were doing was natural,” she writes. Soon,…

GREY’S Anatomy heartthrob Eric Dane died on Feb. 19 after a valiant fight with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which reduced him to a shadow of his former self — but sources say the 53-year-old screen hunk never gave up the fight until his final, difficult breath. In September, Eric, who played Grey’s Dr. Mark “Mc-Steamy” Sloan, willed himself to Washington, D.C., to meet with lawmakers trying to pass an ALS funding bill, telling them, “I have two daughters at home. I wanna see them graduate college, get married, maybe have grandkids. I wanna be there for all that. So, I’m gonna fight until the last breath on this one.” The Euphoria dad was a reallife father to Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14, whose mom is actress Rebecca Gayheart, 54. The…

Actress and chat host DREW BARRYMORE is set to star in a new Charlie’s Angels film more than 20 years after playing one of the tough femmes fatales in 2000 and 2003 versions alongside LUCY LIU and CAMERON DIAZ. Their flicks were an updated homage to the iconic 1976-81 TV series. According to sources, Drew’s new movie will have some surprises for fans of the earlier versions. Sin City star JESSICA ALBA, 44, has finalized her divorce filed a year ago with producer CASH WARREN, 47. The parents of HONOR, 17, HAVEN, 14, and HAYES, 8, who had no prenup when they eloped in 2008, agreed to joint custody and no alimony. However, Cash will get a $3 million payout for the $10 million Beverly Hills home they bought in…

DISTRAUGHT mom Tawnia McGeehan — who reportedly had been feuding with other mothers from her 11-year-old daughter’s cheerleading club — fatally shot her little girl and then herself in their hotel room while attending a competition in Las Vegas. The horrific scene that cops are calling a murder-suicide was discovered by security at the Rio Hotel & Casino after worried relatives called for a welfare check. Police say they went to the room at 10:45 a.m. on Feb. 15 and knocked on the door for 15 minutes before leaving. Later at 2:30 p.m. hotel security, also contacted by alarmed relatives, went to the room, knocked and getting no answer entered the room, where they found the bodies of preteen Addi Smith and her 38-year-old mother, say sources.

POTATO EDITION: The Incas were the first to cultivate the tubers 7,000 to 10,000 years ago. Spanish explorers brought them to Europe in the 16th century, but locals were reluctant to eat them, believing they must be poisonous because they weren’t mentioned in the Bible. The average American eats about 124 pounds of spuds a year. French fries, mashed and baked are our favorite types. According to the Guinness World Records, the largest tater ever grown was 10 pounds and 15 ounces. In 1952, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy ever advertised on television. Originally, just the plastic body parts were sold, which kids could affix to a real potato or other vegetable. Toymaker Hasbro added a potato body in 1964. In 1995, potatoes became the first vegetable grown…
