AGING heartthrob Johnny Depp is being wooed to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow for a sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, but Tinseltown insiders say he’s way too pudgy and frail to play the swash-buckling role! Sources squeal that the 60-year-old actor has become “bloated and physically unfit” from personal problems, including his high-profile defamation trial against ex Amber Heard.

CRUSTY King Charles is poised to get a royal make-over on the orders of his domineering wife, Queen Camilla, sources tell GLOBE! Camilla, 76, is no stranger to Botox and other nip/tucks, which Charles, 75, has always encouraged. But now the tables have turned as she’s demanding he freshen up his appearance to look more like a king than a wrinkled penny-pinching pauper! “All things considered, Camilla looks pretty good for an aging battleaxe, and she no doubt owes it to a few cosmetic fixes over the years,” snitches an insider. “The point is her looks are important to her and she works at it.

HEARTBROKEN Cher is so desperate to save her junkie son Elijah Blue Allman, sources say she’s chucked her romance with 37-year-old stud Alexander “A.E.” Edwards to focus totally on her troubled kid — and it’s thrown her into a painful emotional tailspin, leaving pals fearing for the 77-year-old songbird’s health. Cher reluctantly broke off her affair with the music exec and begged a judge to put her 47-year-old child with the late rock icon Gregg Allman in a conservatorship with his life and finances under her full custody and control. But sources snitch the heart-rending choice has plunged the Moonstruck Oscar winner into emotional free fall over being forced to choose between A.E. and Elijah, who hates his mother’s younger lover. “Elijah refused to cooperate unless she gave A.E. the…

COMIC Tommy Smothers took a heartbreaking family secret to the grave when he lost his fight with lung cancer late last month at age 86 — his beloved dad died at 36 as a Japanese POW in World War II! Sources say the tragic 1945 death of Maj. Thomas Bolyn Smothers fueled the strong anti-war stance of the counterculture legend, who hosted The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late ’60s with sibling Dick, 85, and played guitar on John Lennon’s Give Peace a Chance. “Tom was a staunch peace activist, beginning at a very young age,” dishes a fellow funnyman. “That was largely because of his father’s brutal imprisonment and death.” Thomas was stationed in the Philippines, where he was briefly joined by his wife, Ruth, and two sons.

That same year, Hailey, 27, suffered a mini stroke that triggered PTSD and a fear of being too far away from home. Still, being cooped up 24/7 causes Hailey and her hubby to argue over even the smallest…

GEORGE CLOONEY is rich, successful, happily married with two kids and most importantly wise, which he proved in his recent comments about the tragic demise of his Friends star pal Matthew Perry. As GLOBE reported, Clooney revealed he’d known Perry in the ’90s when he was a struggling young actor desperate for success. “I just want to get on a regular sitcom and I would be the happiest man on earth,” Perry told paddleball partner Clooney.

TOM CRUISE seemed perfect to star as Jack Reacher, the hero of a line of action thriller novels by Lee Child — except for his puny size! Reacher, a wandering ex-Army military police officer who travels light and finds trouble wherever he goes, is a 6-foot-5 tower of muscle mass, so fans hated when the 5-foot-7 pipsqueak stepped into the role in 2012. “Reacher’s size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way,” author Child explained after the awkward casting choice. Hulking 6-foot-3 actor ALAN RITCHSON stars in the Amazon Prime streaming series Reacher.…

HEADSTRONG exes Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver are battling over the arrangements for their son Patrick’s upcoming wedding to longtime sweetheart Abby Champion and the bickering is threatening to ruin the couple’s special day, warn sources. “Maria and Arnie are both very opinionated and are already laying down markers and putting their two cents in,” spills an insider. “Arnie has ideas for the bachelor party and the wedding itself, while Maria thinks it should be a combined bachelor/bachelorette party, which is classier. She wants to over-see the wedding with her own event planner.” While journalist Maria, 68, is a better organizer, screen star Arnie, 76, has a better grasp on how to have fun, adds the source. Meanwhile, Patrick is said to be stuck in the middle. The actor-entrepreneur, 30,…

Now 61, Paula says she didn’t reveal the incidents — including an assault on her assistant April — because Lythgoe had the power to fire her as an Idol judge and from another gig on So You Think You Can Dance. She says Lythgoe, who produced Idol from its 2002 start to 2014 and was a producer and panelist on Dance from 2005 to 2015, first assaulted her in a hotel elevator during their first years of working together. “Lythgoe shoved Abdul against the wall, then grabbed her genitals and breasts, and began…

TRAGIC Friends star Matthew Perry claimed he was clean and sober, but sources insist he was a druggie mess, sneaking addictive pills into his mansion under the noses of a 24/7 nursing staff and a live-in sober companion.

Ginger clobbers cancer! ✚ SPICY kencur ginger proved to have anti-cancer properties in lab experiments, according to a new study. Experts at Osaka Metropolitan University found the root’s extract and its main active component — ethyl p-methoxycinnamate — significantly suppressed the growth of malignancies by decreasing the expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) — a binding protein associated with the proliferation of diseased cells. Scientists say the research suggests the plant, also known as aromatic ginger, might be a component for future cancer-fighting therapies.
