HOOPS legend Shaquille O’Neal says he nixed a five-year shoe deal worth a whopping $40 million because the costly sneakers would screw his young fans. The four-time NBA champ says he cut ties with Reebok sports shoes after a furious woman blasted him for pushing sneakers that cost so much. He says, “I said, ‘Lady I don’t make the prices,’” and she told him, “‘Why don’t you motherf**kers make a shoe that’s affordable?’ “I was like, ‘You know what, she’s right.’ So that day, I cut ties with Reebok and started my own brand.” He made a deal with Walmart to sell sneakers in the $19 to $29 price range. He says kids will wear $20 shoes so long as they don’t “look like they cost $20. “Since then we…

FRUSTRATED Whoopi Goldberg — fed up with taking guff for her opinions on The View and blindsided by a brandnew $50 million lawsuit — is ready to ditch the daytime talk show and return to acting, tipsters snitch. “She’s moaning about cancel culture and is sick of the same old BS,” spills an insider. The source claims the Oscarwinning Ghost star’s patience was already worn thin when she was socked with a civil suit over her efforts to bring a movie studio to West Orange, N.J. — and the legal sucker punch has put the funny lady in a “foul mood!” The suit from Prism Capital Partners alleges Goldberg’s production company, Whoopi Inc., participated in a “nefarious scheme” when it negotiated with local officials to secure property to house the…

PIRATES of the Caribbean hunk Orlando Bloom confesses he took life for granted until he was nearly paralyzed from a fall and faced spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair. The 44-year-old star, father of singer Katy Perry’s year-old daughter Daisy, ended up in a back brace when he “crushed” his spine, and “narrowly escaped death and paralysis” after falling three-stories while climbing up a drainpipe to a roof terrace in 1998. The fall was part of his then-edgy lifestyle. “I used to ride motorbikes and drive cars like everything was a racetrack — it was ridiculous. It wasn’t because I thought it was cool — it was just because I loved living on the edge,” he says. Since cheating death, he says: “I’ve chilled.”…

POP star Sting is apologizing for accusing an Italian duke of tricking him into buying a winery! After being accused of “poisonous slander” by the late Duke of San Clemente’s furious son Simone Velluti Zati, Sting writes: “You are right, I owe you an apology. “The story as reported was disrespectful to the memory of your distinguished father and, for that, I offer my sincere and unequivocal apologies.” As GLOBE reported, Sting plunked down $4 million for the Palagio winery in 1997 after sampling a glass of wine offered by the duke. But the wine given to Sting was from another region, and Palagio’s wine was so terrible he saw a guest empty their glass in a flower bed! Now Sting regrets the insulting switched–wine story, saying: “I am truly…

THE phony fairy-tale marriage between Monaco’s Prince Albert and Princess Charlene is kaput, according to sources who say the love story ended with his redfaced humiliation as his stunning runaway wife refused to return with him to his pimple-sized gambling resort. Livid Charlene, a 43-year-old former Olympic swimmer, fled to her native South Africa in January following a beauty’s embarrassing claims that the cheating 63-year-old blue blood fathered a love child — his third. Once she was 5,100 miles away from the skirt-chasing royal, Charlene announced she’d be staying in Africa indefinitely to be treated for a “serious sinus infection.” After nine months, Albert went scurrying to South Africa — with their six-year-old twins, Gabriella and Jacques, in tow — to beg her to return with them to Monaco. But…
