TOP Gun ace Tom Cruise has been hot for Angelina Jolie for years and sources say he’s finally making his move now that they’re both single! According to a mole, the 61-year-old Church of Scientology poster boy is trying to woo the mother of six for dates and business deals with an eye on long-term romance. “Tom would love to win her over to Scientology, but it won’t be a deal-breaker for him,” snitches a source. “And there’s certainly no reason to think Angelina wouldn’t be open to at least testing the waters with his beliefs. “She’s never trash-talked his church or come out against it. And she’s not a member of any other faith, so Tom feels like there could be an opening for Scientology in her life. He’d obviously love…

OVER-THE-HILL grunge rocker Courtney Love is trashing today’s gal singers starting with superstar Taylor Swift, who she slams as “not interesting” or “important.” The 59-year-old Hole wild-woman finds 34-year-old Taylor a bit tame for her taste. Grunge rock legend Kurt Cobain’s widow slams the wholesome 14-time Grammy winner, saying: “Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.” She also took a shot at Taylor’s songbird pal Lana Del Rey, suggesting “she should really take seven years off.” As for Beyoncé, whose country music album is soaring in the charts, she says: “I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about Black women going into spaces where previously only…

Leading lady Brooke, who is also a co-producer of the movie, has praised the streaming service’s bigwig Christina Rogers for being a champion of rom-coms for women over 40. The former Calvin Klein model says of the exec, “She’s not overlooking my demographic!” Here are ten things you don’t know about the native New Yorker. 1 She is a distant cousin of King Louis XIV, who ruled France for more than five decades until his death in 1715. 2 Eileen Ford started her modeling agency’s children’s division just to represent Brooke. 3 As a kid, she was friends with future Ozark star Laura Linney. 4 The first movie Brooke…

THEY lived longer than any conjoined twins in history — but Lori Schappell and her trans-gender sibling, George, have finally succumbed at 62 after defying medical wisdom and spending a lifetime fused together at the skull! Born in 1961, the twins, originally named Lori and Dori, shared vital blood vessels and a third of their brains, but otherwise worked hard to lead “separate” lives, with individual hobbies, jobs, interests and even hair color! “The twins lived independently in a two-bedroom apartment in Pennsylvania,” announced Guinness World Records, which confirmed the two outlasted their doctors’ dire predictions by decades. Lori was a trophy-winning bowler, but country singer George — who was born with spina bifida and came out as transgender in 2007 — had to be pushed around by his twin…

MICHAEL JACKSON’s beloved chimp Bubbles was a bigger party animal than hard rockers Bon Jovi! Frontman Jon Bon Jovi, 62, says he met the King of Pop in Tokyo in the 1980s, when they were staying in the same hotel. After being invited to Jackson’s room, “his manager takes us in, fixes [Jackson’s] hair, puts his cigar out, fixes his shirt before he enters the room — it was all very surreal,” Bon Jovi recalls. The Living in Sin singer then invited Jackson down to his hotel room to party. “He didn’t come, but he sends Bubbles the Chimp as his representative,” he reveals. To his shock, Bubbles went ape! “[He was] jumpin’ on the bed, puttin’ on a show. Bubbles partied like a rock star!”…

A SMOLDERING cat-fight between Monaco princesses Charlene, Caroline and Stephanie is driving Prince Albert around the bend, according to stunned insiders who say the family patriarch can’t get a moment’s peace. Albert’s wife, troubled Charlene, 46, and his sister Caroline, 67, are knee-deep in a bloody clawfest and the prince’s other sibling, Stephanie, 59, keeps fanning the flames of family resentment, according to palace spies. “Emotionally fragile Charlene considers Stephanie her best friend and confidante,” spills an insider. “But Charlene cut off Caroline, who’s always been snooty and more than a little mean. “But Charlene gets her own back as the royal consort — and delights in rubbing Caroline’s nose in it! She cuts her out whenever she can.” So Charlene and Stephanie flanked 66-year-old Albert, at the opening of…

FED-UP former royal aide Samantha Cohen is finally breaking her silence about the Royal Bullygate scandal that palace insiders say hounded Prince Harry and Meghan out of Britain! While the results of a palace investigation into charges Meghan abused servants are still under official seal, the late Queen Elizabeth’s press secretary reveals she was “treated harshly” while working with the Duke of Sussex’s American-born wife! Now speaking out for the first time, Cohen, who’d previously served the queen for 17 years, says she was assigned to be Meghan’s private secretary for six months, but stayed on three times as long because her replacements quit. “I was only supposed to stay for six months but stayed for 18. We couldn’t find a replacement for me. But when we did, we took…

A FEDERAL prison where celebs Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman were locked up for their roles in a college bribery scandal is being shut down after a bombshell investigation found the joint was a sleazy rape club run by horny guards who traded trysts for treats like Kentucky Fried Chicken! Ironically, the Bay Area Dublin prison, outside Oakland, Calif., was called “Club Fed” after celebs like Full House beauty Loughlin and Desperate Housewives star Huffman served their time there. But sources reveal the big house had a twisted underbelly where inmates were used as slaves and traded physical favors in return for snacks and other special treatment. Huffman did 11 days in Dublin and Loughlin served two months in the hellhole, which had been home to notorious Hollywood Madam Heidi…

ARRGH! Movie pirate Johnny Depp fancies himself a rock star as well as an actor, but his musical talent is on par with his notoriously strained relationship skills, dishes a record producer who saw his band perform in the ’80s. “Johnny was the worst guitarist I’d ever seen, but his charisma was insane,” says Tom Zutaut, who discovered Guns N’ Roses. He told their manager, “You should get this kid an agent and put him on TV or in a movie. This kid’s a star, but these songs suck.” Depp plays in Hollywood Vampires with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry.…

DIRTY dentist Joseph Clarence Cox is feeling the full bite of the law after being sent to prison for 180 years for raping, sodomizing and sexually abusing eight employees and molesting three patients in his Alabama office! Judge George Day drilled Cox, 44, at his sentencing for showing zero respect for any woman who entered his Gadsden facility — and for treating the business like his “own personal playground!” During the toothyanker’s weeklong trial, the staffers testified they’d endured multiple twisted attacks by Cox, which occurred during the workday. Meanwhile, two of the clients jawed to the jury about the sicko subjecting them to unwanted sexual contact while they were undergoing procedures!

A SIX-FOOT alligator stuck in a 12-inch drainage pipe for months, with only its snout sticking out of the sudsy water, has finally been set free! The gator was trapped in the pipe at a ritzy gated community in Hilton Head, S.C., at least since October, when it was first spotted by astonished residents of Port Royal Plantation. “I’ve had them in drainage pipes before,” but never a water tube that tiny, says Matt Kraycar, owner of Bluffton-based K&K Wildlife Services. “It was only a 12-inch pipe, and its body was kind of smashed in there!” Kraycar figures the reptile made one tight turn too many and could no longer back out, but managed to stay alive by gulping down small fish that got sucked into the drain water. He…

GUZZLING Shirley MacLaine is ignoring doctors’ orders to quit booze cold turkey, leaving friends fearing the aging What a Way to Go star is playing Russian roulette with her life. The crotchety Irma la Douce legend was seen sipping one of her favorites — a strong martini — during a lunch outing at Malibu’s Kristy’s Village Café just days ahead of her 90th birthday on April 24. Later, Shirley was so unsteady on her feet, she needed to hang on to the arm of her younger female friend as they left, spywitnesses squeal. “Shirley was ordered by her doctors to cut out booze six months ago, but she’s not listened to a word,” spills an insider. “Her loved ones wonder if she even cares whether she lives or not.” As…

ACTRESS Juliet Mills starred in the cutesy ’70s sitcom Nanny and the Professor while Disney darling sister Hayley starred in The Parent Trap, but the goody-goody gals managed to nab toyboy beaus two decades younger! Juliet, now 82, shocked fans when she got hitched at 39 to 21-year-old hunk Maxwell Caulfield, star of the ’80s soaps The Colbys and Dynasty, while younger sister Hayley, now 78, hooked up with Indian-American actor Firdous Bamji in 1997 when she was 51 and he was just 30.

JOHN WAYNE BOBBITT just can’t seem to hang on to his body parts! The ex-Marine has lost his toes to nerve damage caused by toxic water at Camp Lejeune 30 years after his furious former wife Lorena hacked off his joy stick in a fit of revenge! Tragically, the 57-year-old leatherneck now hobbles on two toeless stumps after his piggies were surgically amputated over the years. His toes became severely damaged from toxic peripheral polyneuropathy — or severe nerve damage — resulting from contaminated water at the North Carolina military base where he trained to be a Marine in the 1980s. Nearly ten years after his service at Lejeune, Lorena sliced off his penis while he slept and threw it in a Virginia field as she drove off in June 1993.…

KELLY CLARKSON’s sour ex Brandon Blackstock is in a pickle, sources dish. After being ordered to return $2.6 million in commissions paid by the celebrity songbird, the miffed manager learned he must post bond for twice that amount to appeal the costly ruling! Bristling Blackstock — who previously represented Clarkson, 42, through his family’s Starstruck Entertainment — demanded a trial after the California Labor Commission determined in November he should not have booked gigs for the TV chatterbox without possessing a talent agent license. His attorneys argued the showbiz mogul and Starstruck weren’t allowed to present certain evidence or witnesses during the proceedings that may have bolstered their case. But the labor board fired back by saying Blackstock, 47, and the business need to pony up $5.2 million before challenging…

AUDIENCES had barely finished sobbing over the death of Bambi’s mother in the 1942 animated Disney classic when the tear ducts started flowing again with the 1957 Western dog-and-his-boy movie Old Yeller. Child actor TOMMY KIRK plays a kid saddled with making an adult choice as his pooch, played by SPIKE, a yellow Mastador, gets sick. The beloved dog dies and some Baby Boomers have never gotten over it. But Spike went on to star in several movies including The She-Creature before passing five years later of natural causes at the respectable age of ten.…

STRUGGLING CNN has pulled the plug on its weekly talkfest King Charles after viewership fell so hard and so fast not even a royal ransom could save it! The show came “to the end of its limited run” after only six months, confesses the humiliated network. Co-hosts Gayle King, 69, who also works at CBS News, and former NBA hoopster turned TV sports analyst Charles Barkley, 61, fouled out of the project due to abysmal ratings. The show — which debuted in November — was the brainchild of CNN’s despised former CEO Chris Licht, who got the boot last June. King Charles started out with an unimpressive half a million viewers — most of them in a sub-prime demographic—and quickly fell a whopping 20 percent despite the supposed star power…

PRINCE HARRY’s handy wife, Meghan, dished out homemade strawberry jam to the in-crowd as a crafty way to plug her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, sources spill. The limited-edition run — which consisted of just 50 jars of preserves — was designed to give an air of exclusivity to the goodies, tipsters tattle. “I am sure Meghan will have thought long and hard as to who to send her first batch to,” notes a mole. Spies say the Duchess of Sussex is determined to make her own mark — but appears to be taking inspiration from her father-in-law, King Charles. Back in the 1990s, the eco-conscious monarch began selling products such as jam and honey from the Duchy of Cornwall estate — which continues to raise millions for the Prince…

FIRED VALERIE STILL STEWING The axing of celeb cook VALERIE BERTINELLI and her shows like Valerie’s Home Cooking after years by Food Network has the cutie-pie feeling like her former sitcom — Hot in Cleveland. Instead of leaving the kitchen quietly, she slammed the channel’s bigwigs for squashing real recipe shows in favor of cooking competitions. “It’s sad it’s not about cooking and learning any longer,” she says. “Oh well, that’s just business, folks.” Meanwhile, fans are with her. “I am tired of the cooking competitions,” gripes one. “So repetitive and egotistical. I watch Pioneer Woman, Girl Meets Farm and Mary Makes It Easy because there are recipes. Refreshing.” Another complains: “I don’t want to see only competitions. I want to learn about cooking.” One fan urged Valerie, 64, to…

WORLD EXCLUSIVE DONALD TRUMP’s long-suffering wife, Melania, is doing a white-hot burn at the family’s Florida compound — refusing to share a bed with her straying hubby and talking divorce — as she faces fresh humiliation during the ex-president’s felony trial for hush-money payoffs to porn queen Stormy Daniels, family insiders tattle. Sources say the 54-year-old former first lady feels doubly betrayed because at the time her hubby is said to have been bedding Daniels, she was preggers with their only child, Barron, now 18, and the treacherous tycoon also lied about the fling. Now she’s freezing Trump out and shopping for new lawyers to take him to the cleaners — while threatening to spill his darkest secrets if he doesn’t pay up, tipsters dish. “She’s feeling absolutely embarrassed, and…

HOTHEAD chef Gordon Ramsay is stewing like a capon in a pot over squatters who’ve invaded his $16 million Central London pub and turned it into a soup kitchen. The six invaders reportedly did not break any law by moving into the temporarily closed York & Albany, where they say they’re “committed to providing free food for the community.” Ramsay, 57, who’d shuttered the pub while renegotiating his lease, has been told by cops evicting the invaders is a “civil matter” — and they can’t get involved.…

HEARTBROKEN Wynonna Judd is so distraught over the new arrest of her convict kid Grace Kelley, she’s planning to raise the jailbird’s two-year-old daughter, Kaliyah, herself, according to friends who fear the singer’s troubles are shredding her nearly 12-year marriage to musician Cactus Moser. The country songbird’s 27-year-old daughter, who she shares with her first hubby, Arch Kelley III, was thrown in the slammer this spring on charges of soliciting prostitution and indecent exposure after flashing her boobs and lower body while waving a “Ride for a Ride” sign on an Alabama highway. As GLOBE has reported, Grace has been in and out of jail over the years on drugrelated charges and got eight years for copping to cooking up meth in 2017. Now, sources snitch desperate Wynonna is using…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE THE gross negligence convictions of Michigan parents Jennifer and James Crumbley whose nutty 15-year-old son Ethan blew away four Oxford High School classmates has triggered cries of outrage from folks who insist the verdict puts ALL parents at risk for their kids’ misdeeds. But that’s pure baloney, especially when you consider what the Crumbleys DID — and especially, DIDN’T do — to get ten to 15 years in the can! Not only did they ignore their troubled son’s actual pleas for help, they bought him a Sig Sauer 9mm semi-automatic pistol as a Christmas present four days before he murdered Madisyn Baldwin, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14; and Justin Shilling, 17, at his school on Nov. 30, 2021. Yes, they actually armed ticking…

HARRISON FORD says he was inspired to get his infamous ear piercing after a visit to Margaritaville with Jimmy Buffett and 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley. “I remember one day that a long — some might say boozy — lunch with Jimmy and Ed Bradley, I saw both of them had earrings,” the 1923 star, 81, recalls. “So right after lunch, I got my ear pierced! “That’s just how infectious Jimmy’s coolness is. Infectious enough for a 40-year-old man to spontaneously get his f**king ear pierced. And infectious enough to create an entire culture around his music. There is no other way to say it: There will never be another like Jimmy.” The Why Don’t We Get Drunk singer died last September at age 76, while Bradley died in 2006…

AMERICA’s gas stations average only a 1.4 percent profit on fuel. The big money — about 70 percent of all profit — comes from peddling gum, lotto tickets, trinkets and convenience store items. ONLY 40 percent of folks who eat asparagus have a change in the smell of their urine! CROWS recognize human faces and can maintain friendships, or hold grudges, for their entire lives. They also pass those relationships down to their chicks! NEVADA’s Pyramid Lake is 344 feet deep. By comparison, Lake Erie’s maximum depth is 210 feet. TALK about cookie dough!
