STAR TREK’s iconic Capt. Kirk, a.k.a. William Shatner, plans to boldly go where he’s never gone before — into outer space FOR REAL! The 88-year-old is pushing TV bigwigs to back a reality show that will end with him as one of the first tourists to blast into the cosmos aboard a commercial rocket. “I’ve tried to sell a show, and I believe I have,” says Shatner, who recently clobbered fourth wife Elizabeth with divorce papers. He says “it looks likely” that he’ll make the announcement about “me going into space” in the near future. And he insists he’s in tip-top shape for the trip. “I’m at the peak of my creative abilities and don’t believe I have lost anything,” he boasts. “I’m in good physical and mental health.” Even if…

DESPITE being an exhausted single mom with five of her six children still at home, kid-crazy Angelina Jolie is pulling out all the stops to adopt another child! Sources say the 44-year-old Maleficent movie witch would have bagged a new baby sooner, but she’s put her plans on hold until nailing down a money-and-custody deal with ex Brad Pitt. “Now that the settlement’s in the final stages — and she’s confident it will be done and dusted any week now — they can both go on and live their lives,” says an insider. “She just needed to know where she stood financially first.” Adds the source: “All signs are pointing to a fairly lucrative settlement from Brad. She wants to be able to stay home with the new child and…

TOM’S STILL JONESING AT 79! It’s not unusual — for 79-year-old widower TOM JONES to be attracted to women young enough to be his granddaughters! Asked if he thinks 30-year-olds are right for him, the singer — who lost his wife of nearly 60 years in 2016 — croons: “Yeah, I do. You can’t see yourself when you’re looking at somebody else.” Not-so-fun fact: The Welshman reportedly boasted of once bedding 250 groupies a year. Way weirder, CASSANDRA PETERSON — better known as campy ELVIRA, Mistress of the Dark — says the seductive singer burst her bubble, as well as other below-the-belt stuff!

WASHED-UP party girl Lindsay Lohan is headed back to the U.S. from Europe — and is out for big-time revenge! Sources tell GLOBE the 33-year-old train wreck has pulled together a blacklist that includes former BFFs Paris Hilton, Wilmer Valderrama and Kim Kardashian, plus A-listers Emma Stone and Ashton Kutcher! “Lindsay has a long list of enemies and she’s out for closure as well as the chance to right some wrongs,” reveals an insider. “Paris, Wilmer and Kim all used to laugh at her and she hasn’t forgotten that. “And back when Emma was a redhead, people compared her with Lindsay. But Emma ignored Lindsay’s suggestion that she play her part in a Mean Girls remake — and that hurt!” While a rep denies such a list exists, the snitch says,…

A DOWN-on-her-luck actress who had a small part in a Captain America movie savagely stabbed her own mother, slaughtering the 68-year-old in her Kansas home, authorities say. Mollie Maxine Fitzgerald, whose minor role in Captain America: The First Avenger was one of her six scant screen credits, was charged with second-degree murder after the bloodied body of Patricia “Tee” Fitzgerald was discovered in Olathe, a suburb of Kansas City, on Dec. 20. The 38-year-old performer played the part of Stark Girl in the 2011 blockbuster and is also credited with being an assistant to the director. “Being a part of this production has been one of the best experiences of my life,” she gushed shortly after the release of the movie, which grossed $370 million worldwide.

HOT diggity! Chili peppers can REALLY spice up your life — they help you live longer! That’s one of the surprising findings of a long-term, ongoing study that has been following the health and eating habits of more than 22,000 people in the Molise region of Italy. Researchers noted that to reap the longevity benefits of this zesty fruit from the night shade family you need to eat them regularly — because the study found chili poppers were 23 percent less likely to die of ANY cause than chili paupers! They were also 40 percent less likely to die from a heart attack and more than 50 percent less likely to die from constricted blood flow to the brain. “An interesting fact is that protection from mortality risk was independent…

ROCKER Rod Stewart’s embarrassing bust at a posh children’s party has driven his long-suffering third wife, Penny Lancaster, to put her foot down with a chilling ultimatum — quit the sauce or she’s walking, insiders say. The last straw was the 75-year-old Maggie May belter’s arrest — along with wild-boy son Sean, 39 — for allegedly shoving and slugging a security guard at the swanky Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Fla. “Rod has shamed and embarrassed Penny for the very last time and she’s fed up,” spills an insider. “She’s let him get away with his obnoxious behavior for years but feels obliged to do something now that he’s getting violent in public.” Stewart and Sean, his son with first wife Alana and the oldest boy of his eight kids,…

WITH doctors predicting he won’t live out the year, dying Prince Charles has cut estranged wife Camilla out of his $1.3 billion will — saying she made his last years absolute hell with her gin-fueled tantrums, sickening scheming and evil attacks on his family! Camilla, 72, is reportedly beside herself with rage over the snub and threatening to spill shocking royal secrets — but the 71-year-old prince doesn’t care, reveal palace insiders. He’s vowing to settle all his old scores before he goes, with son Prince Harry and his high maintenance wife, Meghan, high on his hit list. “Charles is done with the stiff-upper-lip attitude he’s followed most of his life and plans to even the score by changing his will,” spills a royal source. “Up until now — even…

THREE brave gals who were abducted by twisted fiend Ariel Castro are breaking their silence about their harrowing years as captives in a Cleveland hellhole — and their miraculous escape! Amanda Berry, 33, Gina DeJesus, 29, and Michelle Knight, 38, were kept chained like animals in Castro’s ramshackle home after the lowlife snatched them between 2002 and 2004. The terrified young women slept on filthy, stained mattresses, were barely fed and forced to use a bucket to relieve themselves. Even worse, they were sexually abused and raped for years until Amanda daringly made a break for freedom in 2013! Michelle was 21 when Castro kidnapped her in 2002 as she left a cousin’s house. Less than a year later, he lured Amanda into his vehicle —a day before she turned…

DON JOHNSON says he was so messed up on sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, he never thought he’d hit 30! “I’m happy to have survived it,” understates the Miami Vice heartthrob. “A lot of people don’t.” Don, now long settled with wife KELLEY PHLEGER, 50, whom he wed in 1999, laments his early days. “I had a horrible childhood, horrible. I had … abuse and parents who divorced when I was 12 years old. … I left home at 16.” Miraculously making it to 70, Don’s now enjoying the career renaissance of his dreams, starring alongside A-listers DANIEL CRAIG, CHRIS EVANS and CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER in the award-nominated Knives Out.

FORMER talk show host Ricki Lake reveals losing her hair nearly drove her to suicide! “It has been debilitating, embarrassing, painful, scary, depressing, lonely, all the things,” the 51-year-old writes on Facebook and Instagram. “I’ve been to many doctors, gotten steroid shots in my head, taking all the supplements and then some. My hair would recover and then shed again. It was maddening.” Ricki says her tress troubles started while playing Tracy Turn-blad in the 1988 film Hairspray, when her then-healthy locks were “triple-processed and teased” every two weeks. But Ricki — who’s yo-yoed between a size 24 to a size six — believes her “radical” weight fluctuations, along with stress, genetics, hair dyes and other factors, also contributed to damaging her crowning glory. The star — mom of sons Milo,…

KATHIE LEE GIFFORD’s secret phone calls to disgraced serial-sleaze Matt Lauer have driven a wedge into her close friendship with Hoda Kotb, insiders spill! Sources say that since Kathie Lee moved to Nashville to start a new life last year, she has kept in contact with the kicked-to-the-curb Today show anchor — despite the string of sex-harassment allegations from former co-workers. “Hoda has a major problem with that!” says a source close to Kathie’s former co-host, who was elevated to anchor with Savannah Guthrie in 2018 after Matt was booted out. “The way Hoda sees it,” says the snitch, “Matt has betrayed everyone at Today, and she doesn’t believe anyone should have anything to do with him anymore!” But insiders close to Kathie Lee say she remains fiercely loyal to…

HOTHEAD Nick Gordon — the accused killer of Bobbi Kristina Brown — suffered a gruesome “overdose” death in Florida that left him oozing “black stuff” from his mouth, eyewitnesses told police. The 30-year-old druggie — and ex-fiancé of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter — was found unresponsive in a hotel room on Jan. 1 and was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Gordon fell under suspicion in 2015 after bruised Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in the tub at her Georgia home. She died six months later at 22 without waking from her coma. Though he was never charged with a crime, a civil court ordered Gordon to pay her heirs $36 million for her wrongful death! According to testimony, the brute beat Bobbi Kristina and gave her a “toxic…

FUGITIVE heiress Ghislaine Maxwell lived a secret double life as a spy and is now in hiding because of the dirt she has on the powerful men who partied with her murdered lover, twisted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, sources tell GLOBE! While sharing Epstein’s billion-dollar lifestyle and helping recruit his harem of underage sex toys, Ghislaine, the 58-year-old daughter of the late British media baron Robert Maxwell, secretly worked for Israeli intelligence, sources charge. But after Epstein’s mysterious Aug. 10, 2019, death in a New York federal prison, she went into hiding and is constantly on the move with a target on her back, according to insiders. “Sometimes she’s in the United Kingdom, but most often she’s in other countries, including Israel, where her powerful contacts have provided her with safe…

UP UNTIL now, The Talk co-host Sharon Osbourne was just a mouthy busybody, but her latest revelation unmasks her as a snooty, nasty, spoiled brat. The 67-year-old chatterbox — who’d be nowhere without her rock star hubby Ozzy’s fame and mega-millions — boasted she’d canned their assistant after forcing him to run into her burning family home. The shameful incident came during a Christmas holiday season when a candle sparked a fire. She ran downstairs after Ozzy, whose shirt and hair blazed while he tried to put it out. She forced him outside into a fountain and then ran to wake up the assistant in the guesthouse. She ordered her hapless help to save their dogs — and her precious paintings — which he did. But the brave guy was…

HOLLYWOOD heavyweight Tom Cruise is refusing to publicly support his Jerry Maguire co-star Cuba Gooding Jr. as the party hearty star faces sex abuse charges, sources snitch. “Cuba’s reached out to Tom to put in a good word, but Tom’s reluctant to wade into this hotbed of controversy,” dishes an insider. Tom’s silence has been a “big blow” to Cuba, adds the tattletale. The 52-year-old Oscar winner — who famously bellowed “Show me the money!” in the 1996 hit — has been charged with groping three gals in separate incidents in NYC. Though Cuba is like a “little brother” to Tom, 57, and is desperate for his backing, the superstar is playing it safe by keeping mum, according to sources. “Tom will be there for him as a friend…
