SEXY songbird Shania Twain has a body to die for, but she’s freakin’ over her bat wings — droopy arm fat — that have her in a panic and rethinking her no-plastic surgery vow, tipsters tattle. Sources snitch that’s why the 58-year-old That Don’t Impress Me Much thrush usually covers up her arms with sleeves or flowy scarves when she performs on stage. “She has an amazing figure and looks great overall, but the flabby triceps bug her, and no amount of exercise will get rid of them,” spills an insider. “That’s why she wears so many long sleeves. It’s embarrassing the way her arms jiggle when she’s doing her moves on stage. “Shania always prided herself on her fit figure and thought she could age gracefully. Now she’s seeing this…

THE marriage of actors Shantel VanSanten, 38, and Victor Webster, 51, went to the dogs after less than two years — and now their divorce is final, with a barking mad custody agreement over their pet pooch! Victor gets to keep Nova, but Shantel can take the pup for three weeks at a time — but must pay a $10,000-a-day late fee if she over-extends her time!

MONSTER mom Susan Smith is convinced she’ll be sprung from the slammer — nearly 30 years after being found guilty of drowning her two toddlers in a South Carolina lake — so she’s attempting to snag sugar daddies to fund her life on the outside by engaging in flirty phone sex, chatting up at least a dozen men, sources squeal.

Sources snitch a prison call recording from March captures the femme fatale pondering her income options with a potential beau, who assured the…

PANICKED California beachgoers swam for their lives after an enraged mama sea lion, believing the humans were after her pups, made a vicious charge, barking the equivalent of: Get offa my lawn! Dozens of vacationers in the popular waters around La Jolla Cove in San Diego were caught on video fleeing the pugnacious pinniped as it lunged and thrashed at them. “Oh, they are kind of close, get out of the water, fat ass,” someone is heard saying on the steamed sea lion’s behalf. “Visited La Jolla, CA this weekend to see the Sea Lions in their (natural) habitat and to learn more about these ‘protected’ ecosystems,” says tourist Lauren Bertrand in a TikTok post. “The people were peopling and this big guy was NOT having it.” La Jolla Cove…

Dengue fever danger signals ✚ DENGUE fever is spiking across the globe — and the CDC warns Americans aren’t safe from the disease! The viral infection is spread via bug bites — and experts say mosquitoes are thriving as the planet’s climate grows warmer.

JOHNNY DEPP won’t reveal if his 1800s estate in England is haunted, but he admits being scared out of his wits by ghosts at a creepy old Nevada mansion. The 61-year-old actor’s hair-raising moment came during a stay in the famed Mackay Mansion in the Old West mining boomtown of Virginia City, where locals insisted the joint was haunted — and one night, he woke to see two ghosts! “Johnny says he was sound asleep when something woke him,” says a source. “He wasn’t sure if he heard a voice or a sound … but standing at the end of his bed were two young girls,” who reminded him of the kids in Stephen King’s film The Shining, “and they scared the heck out of him.” The ghostly girls didn’t speak,…

ACCUSED cop killer Karen Read may have beaten the rap in Massachusetts for murdering her policeman beau when a judge declared a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury — but now the brainy beauty is trapped in a burgeoning sex scandal with her hunky attorney as fuming prosecutors vow not to abandon their quest to put her behind bars! Meanwhile, sources snitch the feds are eyeing allegedly corrupt lawmen who may be the true culprits in the unsolved death of respected Officer John O’Keefe — Read’s boyfriend, who was a 16-year veteran of the force and a devoted single dad to his orphaned niece and nephew!

ONCE branded the Sexiest Man Alive, sources say gorgeous George Clooney is panicking as age chips away at his leading man looks, threatening his status as a Hollywood hunk. “George is OK with not being the Sexiest Man Alive anymore, but it’s still important for him to be the sexiest man in whatever movie he’s in,” dishes a snitch. But sources say 63-year-old Clooney is fretting because his next role is opposite Ocean’s Eleven pal Brad Pitt, 60, in the upcoming Apple TV+ crime flick Wolfs and he’s stressing over keeping up with his hunky co-star. “Brad is only a few years younger than him, but he’s managed to turn back the clock by at least a decade and it’s a lot for George to have to compete with,” squeals…

TOP Chef alum Justin Sutherland has cooked his own goose by menacing his girlfriend with a gun, lawmen say. Sutherland, 39, was busted in St. Paul, Minn., and charged with one count of felony threats of violence. A criminal complaint states the ranting restaurateur pointed a pistol at his galpal in their apartment, struck her in the chest with the weapon and shouted, “Don’t come back here or I am going to shoot you.” Police reveal the woman, whose name is being withheld by authorities, has also accused the Fast Foodies star of squeezing her neck for several seconds and barking, “I could kill you.” The affidavit notes the TV competitor insists he never threatened the alleged victim.

KANYE WEST failed to make then-estranged wife Kim Kardashian jealous after they split by dating sexy Julia Fox, and now we know why — the actress has just come outta the closet declaring she’s a lesbian! West and Kim split in late 2021 and the rapper then made a big public show of dating hottie Julia starting in January 2022. They were together for 60 days, he took her to Paris and they wore weird outfits like the 47-year-old does with current wife Bianca Censori, 29.

WHAT makes disgraced sex creeps like comic Bill Cosby determined to make a comeback even though nothing they can do will wash away the shameful stain of their behavior? In Cosby’s case, it surely can’t be money! The lowlife has raked in about $400 million during his long career. Yet all the time he was masquerading as a clean comic, starting in the ’60s, and on The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992, he was allegedly raping gals. So it’s probably ego. As GLOBE reported last week, Cosby is set on recapturing his adoration with a standup act. Sources say the 87-year-old “is delusional” and “believes he’s innocent.” But many Americans believe he’s NOT! The only reason he’s not in a cage for sexual assault is a legal technicality that…

GUN-TOTING thugs turned a Missouri couple’s dream wedding into a nightmare when they shot the groom in the head — in front of his horrified family!

SNOOTY Duchess Meghan is finally giving her former Suits co-stars the time of day — after snubbing them since becoming a duchess by marrying Prince Harry — and now insiders say the TV show’s ticked-off cast is in no mood to be suckered into her self-serving game as she struggles to rebuild her scandal-scarred brand. “There are a lot of hurt feelings. People feel like they were just tossed aside when Meghan became a royal,” insists an insider from the legal drama. “Now she’s reaching out expecting stars to guest on her podcast and support her new business ventures — and is stunned to get the cold shoulder!” Sources dish Meghan’s castmates from the hit USA Network show that premiered in 2011 have long memories of her diva behavior, which…

IS THERE a doctor in the house? When it comes to carpenter ant colonies, the answer is yes! In a stunning finding, researchers recorded video showing the hard-working insects are able to save lives by performing triage on their wounded brethren — they figure out what’s ailing them, amputate the injured limb by biting it off, and even clean the wound! A study in the journal Current Biology reveals Florida carpenter ants have just the Rx for preventing infection among their nestmates — they routinely perform amputations and seem to understand that gnawing off a limb above the thigh yields a healthier outcome for the wounded than severing it lower down, where, counterintuitively, the blood supply of these half-inch creatures carries infection to the body faster. “The ant presents its…

NO MATTER how you cut it, cosmetic surgeries have steadily increased since the pandemic lockdown ended — and these five procedures are in the highest demand, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. LIPOSUCTION The sculpting technique tops the list for the third year in a row.

A HUNK whose nose and a chunk of chin were torn off by his frenzied dog had his sniffer rebuilt using bones from his ribs and skin from his scalp and forearm! Once handsome Ben Horne’s life changed forever in a few gory minutes in November 2019. An epileptic, he suffered a seizure after changing his medication, and it freaked out his dog Henry. “During one of my night seizures, my dog got scared,” says Horne, a 34-year-old British aerospace engineer. “In the process, he did a lot of damage to my face. My whole house was plastered in blood.” He managed to call for help but almost wished he hadn’t after he got to the hospital. “When I came round a nurse said, ‘I’m going to hand you a…

UFOs have been shadowing high-speed military aircraft and lurking around top secret sites housing nuclear warheads because space aliens fear earthlings will blow themselves — and their planet — to smithereens. That’s the shocking conclusion of retired U.S. Air Force staff sergeant Larry Hancock and Ian Porritt, members of Harvard University’s UFO research group, the Galileo Project, after three exhaustive studies of when and where the mysterious flying craft appeared after the first atomic bomb was exploded in 1945. The researchers found UFO activity first centered around facilities making nuclear weapons in the 1950s, and later in the 1960s concentrated on ICBM missile silos and bomber air bases. “You would see this interest at silos when they were being installed,” notes Porritt. “[The UFOs] are very low altitude, they penetrate…
