The pair co-starred in three movies together.

FIREBRAND Meghan McCain has made her mark on The View as the daytime TV show’s conservative lightning rod. Since joining the gabfest in 2017, Meghan has shown she’s not afraid to speak her mind — or ruffle her co-hosts’ feathers! Here are ten things you don’t know about the 35-year-old, who’s expecting her first child with hubby Ben Domenech. 1 She says her parents — the late Republican Sen. John McCain and wife Cindy — never cramped her style. “Politicians often teach their kids to control what you say and not to trust.

Richard Wayne Ellison, 47, was charged with murder after cops claimed he admitted to offing Benny Foutch — and his chatty chicken — and told them, “Lucifer made him do it!” Princeton Rescue Squad discovered the mutilated body of the 72-year-old victim — who had a prosthetic leg — on the porch of his house near the town of Rock and found “blood was coming from his orbital sockets.” According to a criminal complaint filed by Detective-Corporal M.S. Horn, “When looking at the victim, the gouging out of his eyes appeared to be his cause of death, being no other serious…

She seems to be wasting away.” While Lisa’s rep insists she’s gained weight, a source tells GLOBE the 56-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills beauty is “now hovering around 110 pounds” — about 20 pounds less than the 130 she used to carry on her five-foot-seven frame.

The 55-year-old star, who played DOOL’s Adrienne Johnson Kiriakis from 1986 to 1991, was still mourning the Dec. 13 drug death of her 23-year-old son, Austin Luciano, when she was thrown from her horse on a trail near her L.A. home on May 16.

QUEEN ELIZABETH has devised a clever system of getting rid of people she’s done dealing with without hurting anyone’s feelings. The 94-year-old monarch merely uses a series of secret signals to alert her aides she wants to escape a sticky situation. When she’s out at an event, Her Highness will shift her purse from one arm to the other, notifying aides to come take the person away. “It would be done very nicely,” reveals royal historian Hugo Vickers. “Someone would come along and say, ‘Sir, the Archbishop of Canterbury would very much like to meet you.’ “Her aides really come running when she twirls her wedding ring ‘round her finger or puts her handbag on the floor, which means she wants action NOW! Back at Buckingham Palace, she has a…

BIG-CAT lover Tippi Hedren — the star of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds — still keeps “psycho” tigers and lions, even though actressdaughter Melanie Griffith’s gorgeous puss was mauled so badly she needed plastic surgery! The bizarre revelation comes from Tippi’s Fifty Shades of Grey grandkid Dakota Johnson, Melanie’s daughter, who says her 90-year-old grandma still has “13 or 14 lions and tigers” on her Shambala Preserve, where “it isn’t as psycho as it was” because they’re now kept safely in compounds. In the late ‘70s, Tippi and then-hubby Noel Marshall filmed the flick Roar, which had 70 on-set injuries caused by big cats. A lion ripped 19-year-old Melanie’s mug so badly she needed 50 stitches and reconstructive surgery. Ironically, before the attack, Melanie told Tippi: “Mother, I don’t want to come…

BRITISH beauty Elizabeth Hurley was blasted by animal lovers after posting a pic of her killer kitty slaughtering a bunny — and praising the cat for protecting her veggie garden from the tiny trespasser!

FULL House twin Mary-Kate Olsen split with “selfish” hubby Olivier Sarkozy because she wanted kids and he refused, insiders say! Sources tell GLOBE the pint-sized fashion mogul, 34, felt monstrously betrayed — given that the 51-year-old French banking baron already had two kids from a previous marriage! “Mary-Kate assumed since he was already a dad he would naturally want to have more with her,” says an insider. “She was shocked to find out otherwise after they were married. She begged him to give her one child and he still balked! She’s calling him out for being a selfish lout!” Others say the five-year marriage faltered because he loved to party hearty, while she was a workaholic introvert. “Olivier was a man about town and took to traveling solo to party with…

THE model daughter of Christie Brinkley is having a lockdown meltdown about her body! Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 21, confessed on Instagram: “I’ve been so down on myself recently. Crying about my cellulite, letting the fat on my body ruin my day, getting mad that I’m not as skinny as I once was.” The former Dancing with the Stars contestant admits, “The body dysmorphia and leftover eating disorder tendencies have been coming in strong.” But the blond beauty adds, “I’m so tired of thinking anything that makes up ME is something to be ashamed of.” Sailor — whose dad is Peter Cook, the two-timing ex-hubby of cover girl Christie — declares, “I am a 100% imperfect human!”…

HERE’S news to milk for all it’s worth — eating a diet high in dairy products has been linked to healthier blood pressure levels and less chance of getting diabetes! A large international study published by the British Medical Journal’s Open Diabetes Research & Care division gave a thumbs-up to eating at least two daily servings of dairy — and even specified full-fat dairy was BETTER for cardiovascular health than the low-cal kind! Eating such foods as milk, cheese or yogurt twice a day “may represent a feasible and low-cost approach to reducing” the incidence of metabolic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes and more — and the findings applied worldwide. The 190,000 participants — all between 35 and 70 years of age, and representing 21 countries — were tracked for an average…

STIR-CRAZY from being cooped up at home, a Virginia family took a long drive to cure their wanderlust — and discovered nearly $1 million on the road! The temporary wealth boom came when the Schantzes ran over what they thought was a bag of trash during their day trip and stopped to clear it up. And that’s when they noticed a second sack and also tossed it in their truck, says Maj. Scott Moser of the Caroline County Sheriff’s Department. The do-gooders decided they’d dispose of the garbage later. But fortunately, they looked in the packages first — because according to Moser, they were filled with what appeared to be mail containing almost $1 million in “cash money.” “Inside of the bag, there were plastic baggies and they were addressed…

MONEYBAGS Jackie Kennedy Onassis had to be convinced to take a pay raise — and insisted on a small office — dishes a onetime boss! Nancy Evans, a former chief of the prestigious Doubleday imprint who’s written about the former first lady’s years in the publishing industry, says Jackie wanted no special treatment and didn’t like using her clout to seal deals. The former Jacqueline Bouvier’s life in letters began after she returned to live in the U.S. full-time in 1975 following the death of her second husband, Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. Evans gripes that Jackie’s second act is “often overlooked” — despite its lasting nearly two decades! She also recalls how Jackie, who reportedly received $26 million after Onassis died, said the former glamour gal often dressed simply and…

Though late, the tot — who was given the name Penny Diana Hunter — was a healthy baby. THOUGH they are vegetarian, hippos are among the deadliest animals in the world — far exceeding the combined total of human fatalities caused by sharks, wolves and lions!

SHIVER me timbers — students at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology can be certified as pirates! Yes, if they pass courses in sailing, swordplay, shooting and archery, undergraduates receive a certificate confirming their status as a…
