The 65-year-old monarch put the troubled 45-year-old beauty on a fattening diet because “he finds her more attractive with more flesh,” according to a source, who notes “she was extremely underweight and pale before, and he didn’t like people saying she looked sickly and seemed withdrawn and sad. He felt it was a bad reflection on him.” Now after he’s urged her to “eat more she’s heavier in all the right places. And a chubby Charlene looks better beside him since he’s quite plump,” the source adds. On June 10, the former Olympic swimmer looked regal attending the opening of the Historical…

PEEVED Pope Francis, 86, got even with Archbishop Georg Gänswein by booting the loose-lipped cleric from his Vatican post and ordering the official back to his native Germany — without a job, insiders say.

But church higher-ups have confirmed his 11-year tenure is toast and he was turned out in a shocking slap in the face.

The bizarre gossip has thrown TV’s favorite cowboy for a loop as he desperately bids to strike a deal with his spouse of 18 years, who’s added to his misery by refusing to move out of their $145 million tenacre Santa Barbara oceanfront compound.

POP performer Drew Taggart — one half of The Chainsmokers duo — reveals he’s “struggled with drinking” throughout his career. The hard-partying boozer unbottled his feelings about sauce-swilling, calling it “an addiction that’s woven into the environment we exist in.” The Self Destruction Mode musician confides, “This guilt of not being good enough — or not being better — ironically sends me into a spiral that restarts my bad habit cycle.” Taggart, 33, admits he’s “flawed” — but adds, “I know that I am great.”…

The slimeball, 55, stole “heads, brains, skin, bones and other human remains, without the knowledge or permission” of his employers from 2018 to 2022, prosecutors say. Also charged in connection with the case were Lodge’s 63-year-old wife, Denise, and two alleged resellers — Katrina MacLean, 44, and Joshua Taylor, 46. According to a recently released indictment, the butcher, who ran the body bank at the university’s Anatomical Gifts Program, scavenged bits from corpses before their scheduled cremations and occasionally invited clients into the morgue to select their wares!

BATMAN hunk Ben Affleck shocked friends and family with his new, Botox-looking frozen face, leaving sources buzzing the leading man’s trapped in a serious midlife crisis. “Getting a full face of Botox is not Ben’s style, so it’s shocked a lot of people,” dishes an insider. “His friends are convinced this is more proof he’s in some sort of midlife crisis. “They’re all hoping he’ll snap out of it soon.” The 50-year-old actor showed off a super smooth mug when he posed with hottie wife Jennifer Lopez, 53, at a recent L.A. movie premiere where “everyone was commenting on how Botoxed Ben looked and snickering Jennifer had something to do with it,” tattles a tipster. “She’s so image conscious.

Boozing helps your heart! ✚ REGULARLY sipping boozy beverages could reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems! An observational study led by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital linked light to moderate alcohol consumption — defined as one drink daily for gals and two for guys — with long-term reductions in stress signaling in the brain.

Neighbor Heidi Hannah caught the burly brute on video and called Steamboat Springs cops, who arrived while the critter was still in the master bedroom. The massive intruder got locked inside the bedroom after failing to escape through the too-high window. When an officer opened the bedroom door, the beast made a dash downstairs and leaped out the first-floor window it had originally entered. Homeowner Ryan McFarland, who was at work at the time, notes the furry felon “just ripped that [first-floor] window right open, got inside and helped himself to my pork chops I had out for dinner that night,…

The reality babe, 42, jawed about her dream guy’s best qualities during an episode of her family’s namesake show The Kardashians and admits, “Teeth are, like, one of my biggest turn-ons. The straighter, the hornier I’ll get. Just kidding — but not kidding.” The bottom-heavy billionaire — whose nine-month romance with smiley comic Pete Davidson was nipped in the bud last August — also confides a great grin makes her “horniest.” The three-time divorcée was hitched to Kanye West from 2014 to 2022 and shares four kids with the ranting rapper.

Sources snitch the 80-year-old chatterbox’s 12-year marriage to the retired octo-genarian teacher she met at a semi-nudist colony in 1982 has hit a dull lull — and now she’s flirting up a storm with showbiz studs. “Joy and Steve had a white-hot marriage for many years, and thought nothing of walking around the house naked,” spills an insider. “But he’s apparently slacking off in the romance department and she doesn’t find him that exciting. That’s one reason she flirts with the handsome guests.” Back in February, Joy raised eyebrows by shamelessly fawning over Irish hunk Liam…

This bombshell revelation exploded to light in the wake of 81-year-old Kaczynski’s June 10 suicide in his prison cell, where he was serving eight life sentences for murdering three and injuring 23 during a 17-year rampage of 16 bomb attacks from 1978 to 1995. Kaczynski’s plunge into paranoid schizophrenia began when the Chicago math student, so brilliant he’d skipped the sixth and 11th grades, entered Harvard at 16.

The 38-year-old Firework songbird — who’s been branded Hollywood’s most hated woman — triggered outrage with a teaser clip for the talent show where she dressed in sexy, skin-tight leather pants, boots and a mesh top and acted like a cat.
