TALK about a mindblowing memento! The Talk’s SHARON OSBOURNE, 67, strangely decided to show off the plastic port surgically installed during her cancer treatments! “When it was removed, I had it framed,” admits the TV host. The device connects a catheter through which drugs can be injected and blood samples drawn from a vein with less discomfort. Not minding the scar left by the medical gadget, she adds: “This was such an important part of my recovery, that I had it framed. It becomes you, it’s your journey.” The device was attached after having a foot of her colon removed when the wife of rocker OZZY OSBOURNE learned her cancer had spread. “It not the best news,” says the British-born celeb, who also opted to have a preventative double mastectomy…

RUGGED Raymond Burr, who skyrocketed to fame as TV’s super lawyer Perry Mason, was guilty of perjury — for lying about his secret double life as a homosexual! A new HBO series paints the fictional lawyer as a seedy, boozing 1930s gumshoe, but six-foot-two, 350-pound Burr played the defense lawyer as a sharp-dressed straight shooter in the drama that ran from 1957 to 1966 and was closely based on author Erle Stanley Gardner’s hit mystery novels.

Once a serious cocaine abuser, Elton later explained he was in a funk over splitting from a boyfriend and a junkie when he wed Renate, saying: “A drug addict thinks like this: ‘I’ve had enough boyfriends, and that’s not made me happy, so I’ll have a wife — that will change everything.’ “And I loved Renate, but you know, it is one of the…

MEDICAL marijuana users use fewer health care resources than the rest of the population, according to a new study! In a survey of prescriptionpot users, researchers found they reported less pain, better sleep, reduced anxiety and also took fewer doctordirected medications. They were also less likely to have visited an emergency room or be admitted to a hospital in the month before being surveyed. “It wasn’t surprising to me that people claim to feel better when using medical cannabis, but it was unexpected to see that these people utilized less health care resources,” says Dr. Ryan Vandrey, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Researchers say more funding and clinical trials are necessary to determine what conditions the drug may treat.…
