FORTY years after Elvis keeled over from a drugrelated heart attack, his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, has dropped a bombshell — The King of Rock ’n’ Roll’s tragic end wasn’t accidental, he wanted to die! Priscilla, the mom of Elvis’ only child, Lisa Marie, says the 42-year-old superstar was in a losing battle with obesity and pill addiction and aware his bad habits were killing him at the time of his Aug. 16, 1977, death in the bathroom of his Memphis mansion, Graceland. “He knew what he was doing,” says Priscilla, 72, an executive producer of the April 14 HBO documentary, Elvis Presley: The Searcher. “People go ‘Why didn’t anyone do anything?’ Well, that’s not true. People there in the inner group did — but you did not tell Elvis what…

A NEWLYWED father of two is accused of killing his second wife — in cold blood — and was arrested after a Catholic priest told cops he confessed to the crime! John Grazioli, 44, shot Amanda Grazioli, 31, in the head in their bedroom, and left a signed note saying he’d killed her and himself, police say. But instead of taking his own life, the cowardly creep — a financial manager who owned a Mercedes SUV and a $340,000 home — drove to a church in Erie, Pa., and spilled his guts, lawmen charge. According to Rev. Michael Polinek of St. Peter Cathedral, the two sat down in the rectory’s office — and Grazioli admitted to shooting and killing Amanda. Rev. Polinek says it wasn’t a sacramental confession, so he…

KNOCKOUT blonde Jeanemarie Almulla, 26, has gone from living in her car to the top of the world thanks to generous older Sugar Daddies she meets online! Almulla — who proudly calls herself a “sugar baby” — says she chose the edgy lifestyle after an abusive relationship left her flat-broke. “I had nowhere to go, and I remember my friend saying, ‘You have to go on this website. There will be so many wealthy men who will help you out,’” she recalls. “My mother is Catholic and my father is Muslim, so I come from a strict background and I wasn’t sure at first. But I was like, ‘Screw it! I have nothing to lose!’” So Jeanemarie joined the dating website Seeking Arrangements after leaving college in 2014 — and…

Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.— H.G. Wells BATTLING a slew of severe health issues, feeble screen star Michael Caine is confined to a wheelchair and — in a bombshell revelation — confesses he’s facing his final curtain call. “I know my days are numbered,” admits the 85-year-old Alfie legend.

Amber-colored pee reveals you’re dehydrated. Run, do not walk, to the nearest water cooler! Green urine is usually harmless, and is most likely caused by particular foods, such as asparagus. It can also occur as a side effect of certain medications. Red urine is usually the result of eating foods like beetroot. But it can also be due to infections or even cancers.…

PRESIDENT Donald Trump has been waging a secret war on Russia for more than a year to punish Kremlin kingpin Vladimir Putin for meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections! In a world exclusive, GLOBE can now reveal the commander-in-chief has been taking the fight to America’s adversary on multiple fronts — from covert military operations in Syria to cyberspace. “The attacks are surgical, yet meaningful,” says a National Security Council insider. “Neither side is willing to acknowledge what’s really happening for fear the conflict will escalate in a way matters get out of hand. But the president is settling the score!” While the full scope of Trump’s shadow war on Russia is still a closely guarded secret, White House sources pointed to several examples — publicly reported and classified —…

FAMILY Guy has finally revealed the truth about baby Stewie — he’s not really gay and his British accent is phony! After years of teasing Stewie is a homosexual, the diabolical infant discussed his sexuality in a therapy session after he pushed a boy down the stairs at school. “I only pushed Tyler down the stairs because I like him and I’m afraid he won’t like me back,” Stewie told a shrink voiced by British actor Ian McKellen on the FOX series’ March 18 episode.

Hillary insists she hurt herself after a “slip in the shower,” but internist Dr. Stuart Fischer, who has not treated the politician, says this latest incident “leads me to believe her situation is grave.” A Clinton spy snitches that Hillary “KNOWS her days are numbered” and doesn’t trust her straying husband “to give her the send-off she is convinced she deserves…
