REALITY trollop Kim Kardashian is so proud of her still sexy body, say sources, that she’s constantly running around her house mostly — or even completely — naked, creeping out the help and prompting pals to tell her to just grow up already! The 44-year-old mom of four, who rocketed to fame in a raunchy sex video, has never been particularly shy about her bubble-butted body. And she’s apparently still happy to display her wares! “Kim is really loving her body right now,” blabs an insider. “She’s put so much effort into it and feels damn proud that she’s in the best shape of her life. “She’s always been comfortable nude and says it’s empowering to walk around wearing very little — or being totally naked. The poor staff will…

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star JEN SHAH, now locked up on fraud charges, is getting advice from an expert. Mob Wives star RENEE GRAZIANO, Jen whose dad and ex-hubby were Mafia bigwigs, is her pen pal. Music icon BOB DYLAN says he planned to change his name from Robert Zimmerman to Robert Allen, but when asked, he “instinctively” shouted “Bob Dylan.” He denies any connection to the poet DYLAN THOMAS.

FOUR years ago, Shaun Weiss was addicted to drugs and living on the streets — but now the Mighty Ducks alum, 45, is clean and sober and expecting his first child with girlfriend Shannon! For years, the former child actor battled addiction to heroin and meth and spent time living on the streets, at one point stealing $1,000 worth of electronics a day to support his habit. “I was in horrible shape. I was probably going to die if those sheriff’s deputies didn’t step in and save me,” he says of his arrest for burglary and methamphetamine use in January 2020. A judge ordered him to rehab, where he turned his life around. Now the dad-to-be is going to name the baby Charlie, after his father.…

GORGEOUS George Clooney was looking pretty schlumpy for a while, but sources say he’s now getting back to his suave old self with advice from some top “mojo pros,” who have quietly helped to spiff up the star — and his marriage in the process! “Like a lot of people during the pandemic, George kind of let himself go, at least by his standards,” reveals an insider. “He started dressing down all the time, unless he was working. It became this bad habit where he was wearing baggy old pants and grungy T-shirts half the time. “Some days he wouldn’t bother to shave. He seemed to prefer looking unkempt and even considered it stylish!” According to our mole, wife Amal didn’t agree. “She let it slide at first,” shares the snitch.…

IT’S THREE’S COMPANY FOR SUZANNE’S HUBBY The late SUZANNE SOMERS claimed she and oldster hubby ALAN HAMEL were sexy senior citizens who still rolled around in the hay up until her death at age 76 in October 2023 following a battle with breast cancer. Now, a year after the Three’s Company blonde’s passing, 88-year-old Alan must still be feeling his oats ’cause he’s been spotted with not one, but two babes! A source blabs the widower enjoyed a “date night” with two good-looking gals at Capo Italian eatery in Santa Monica. Alan insists he has his late wife’s blessing because shortly before the sitcom cutie’s passing, she told him “not to mope around and live my life.” He also calls himself a “virgin dater” because for 55 years he was never…

BLOODTHIRSTY sicko Zephen Xaver — who joined the Army because “you can kill people and get away with it” — was sentenced to death for his horrifying execution-like slaughter of five gals in a bank! A Sebring, Fla., jury voted 9-3 on Dec. 16 to give the death sentence to the twisted 27-year-old, who previously pleaded guilty to planning for weeks the terrifying 2019 massacre in the SunTrust Bank. Circuit Judge Angela Cowden branded the chilling slaughter “heinous, calculated and cruel” when handing down the ultimate sentence, adding: “May God have mercy on your soul.” A trainee for a prison guard job, Xaver had a history of mental instability and fantasized about “suicide by cop” when he waltzed into the bank where he was cheerfully greeted by 55-year-old teller coordinator…

CASH-CRUNCHED Alec Baldwin is planning to marry wife Hilaria all over again, but sources say it’s not for romance — it’s part of his shameless money-grab with his new reality show charade! The 66-year-old three-time Emmy winner shocked fans by revealing he and Hilaria, 40, were documenting life with their seven kids — Carmen, 11, Rafael, 9, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 6, Eduardo, 4, María, 3 and Ilaria, 2 — for a TLC series that premieres next month. Now a source dishes “there’s talk of doing a vow renewal and televising it, and of course the whole point is to make money. He’s desperate!” Huffs another spy, “It’s pretty ironic, considering how openly hostile he was about doing the reality show, but it just goes to show that he’ll do anything…

THE way Wolverine hunk Hugh Jackman kicked his longtime actress wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, to the curb after 27 years of marriage has his Aussie pals Down Under growling with disgust and giving him an earful, sources say. The 56-year-old triplethreat singer, actor and hoofer ditched Furness, 69, in September 2023 amid rumors he was plunging into a red-hot romance with Sutton Foster, 49, his costar in the Broadway revival of The Music Man. “Hugh’s friends in Australia are close to Debs too and they’re siding with her in all of this,” spills a spy. “Even though Hugh hasn’t gone public with Sutton it’s an open secret that they’re madly in love. It’s no wonder Debs feels like she got tossed aside for the younger model!” The former couple, who share…

CRIPPLED Ozzy Osbourne’s planning a miracle comeback concert, but sources say the Crazy Train singer currently struggles to stand and walk — leaving pals fearing his return will be his death! Ironically, sources snitch that the cranky 76-year-old wildman wouldn’t mind going out in a blaze of glory — dropping dead in front of his adoring fans. “Ozzy has said plenty of times that he’d be happy to die on stage, that’s where his heart and soul lie,” dishes an insider. “But people around him worry that if he pushes himself for this concert, he could end up a goner!” As fans know, Ozzy is pig-headed — so “there’s no talking him out of it. He’s got his heart set on doing one more show to say a proper goodbye.…

IT’S hard to imagine Back to the Future, the iconic 1985 teen time-travel blockbuster, without MICHAEL J. FOX zooming back to 1955 in a DeLorean with CHRISTOPHER LLOYD by his side. But Mask actor ERIC STOLTZ — who was a much bigger star at the time — was already deep into filming the role of Marty McFly when he got canned! Stoltz saw the comedy as a tragedy and it rubbed the filmmakers the wrong way. “He wasn’t really a comedian, and they needed a comedian,” costar LEA THOMPSON has said. “He’s super-funny in real life, but he didn’t approach his work like that!” Fox went on to reshoot all of Stoltz’s scenes.…

NBC’s high-stakes reboot of The Office is getting plenty of buzz — but a source with ties to the franchise says that original cast members, led by Steve Carell, John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer, are steaming over their lack of involvement in the project and hoping it falls flat on its face! “The big issue here is that Steve, John and other members of the original cast have legitimate concerns about how this reboot can possibly devalue the original series, which is a massive draw on streaming and still has a ton of cultural currency,” spills an insider. According to our mole, Jenna’s main gig these days is dishing about the original show — which ended in 2013 — via her podcast Office Ladies. “It’s only natural for her to…

LOOKS like JOSHUA JACKSON, who plays a cruise ship medico on ABC’s Doctor Odyssey, has hit an iceberg in the form of his estranged wife, JODIE TURNER-SMITH. The 38-year-old Queen & Slim actress has coldly slammed the 46-year-old former Dawson’s Creek hunk for not supporting their 4-year-old daughter, JUNO, by forking over $8,543 per month, dating back to when she filed for divorce in October 2023, and another $28,641 per month until their split is legally kaput. The slender beauty, who claimed irreconcilable differences, charges that Jackson “promised to always support me and ensured me that I would not have to worry about financial security for our daughter if we ever separated because he said he understood how difficult life can be as a Black woman and a single mother.”…

SCREEN witch Angelina Jolie’s family feud with her aging actor dad, Jon Voight, heartbreakingly continues even as he nears his final curtain, say sources. Angelina, 49, is said to have “minimal to zero” contact with the 86-year-old politically conservative star despite his advancing age. “Jon is continuing to work and had two big movies last year in Reagan and Megalopolis,” notes an insider. “And they weren’t just cameos. He was central to those stories and had tons of shooting days on both. “But nobody can deny that he’s incredibly frail these days. Angie needs to recognize that he’s not going to be around forever, and he wants their relationship back on solid ground before he’s gone.” The Maleficent beauty and her dad have had a complicated relationship spanning decades. The…

AGING screen beauty Jennifer Aniston’s love life has gone to the dogs — literally! The still alluring Morning Show star, 55, posted selfies from her mega Bel Air mansion as she celebrated the holidays with her pooches Clyde, Sophie and Lord Chesterfield — but sources reveal she’s lonesome to the bone for companionship with a man! “Jen does her best to fill up her world,” dishes an insider. “She’s got a lot of wonderful friends, dotes on her precious fur babies and even fosters others, but there are only so many dinner parties or girls’ nights she can throw. “The sad reality is that she is alone a lot of the time. She has her staff around during the day, which helps because they’ve become like family to her. But once…

ROVING-eyed rapper Machine Gun Kelly is desperate to win back his pregnant estranged girlfriend, Megan Fox, but she’s making it tough for him to pull the trigger on any kind of reconciliation, say sources. “She doesn’t trust him as far as she can throw him,” blabs an insider. “He’s REALLY gonna have to prove himself!” According to our sources, Transformers beauty Megan, 38, is demanding that 34-year-old MGK detail all of his cheating encounters and enter therapy before she’ll even consider taking him back. “She does believe he loves her, but his ego gets so out of control that he can’t resist it when other women make eyes at him,” shares the insider. “Worse yet, he denies he has a problem and doesn’t believe he needs help.” The couple has famously…

CONSERVATORSHIPS in Hollywood are a double-edged sword — sometimes wielded to protect, other times to control. Britney Spears, once the poster child for a system gone wrong, is now making headlines for a different reason — after years of estrangement and legal battles, the pop icon reunited with the younger of her two sons, Jayden. “Best Christmas of my life!!! I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years!!!” she gushes in an emotional online video. But the holiday story may not be as perfect as it seems. Just weeks ago, Britney finalized her child support payments to ex-husband Kevin Federline after Jayden turned 18. Coincidence? Maybe. However, Britney’s erratic Instagram posts — dancing in lingerie, flipping her hair in a hotel bathroom — aren’t reassuring. Is she truly free, or…

BONKERS vandals in Bend, Ore., are putting googly eyes on public artworks — and officials are begging the culprits to stop due to the expense of removing the peepers! PESKY mosquitoes find their prey by sensing infrared radiation from warm bodies and detecting chemical signals, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. HOLY wow! A stone tablet carrying engravings of the Ten Commandments — dated between the years 300 and 800 AD — sold for $5 million at auction. THE largest snowflakes ever reported fell in 1887 in Fort Keogh, Mont., where witnesses spied milk pan–sized crystals, measuring about 15 inches wide! CATS and dogs give many folks the sniffles — but it goes both ways as human dander can cause allergic rashes or respiratory reactions in critters!…
