Ryan, 44, joined Blake’s team on The Voice in 2014, but Shelton was unsuccessful in helping the aspiring country star’s career gain traction. “Blake is kicking himself because he wanted to do more to not only help him be a bigger star but to deal with the pressures that come with a life pursuing the kind of success HE had,” an insider says.

AN ASTOUNDING image of what appears to be a medieval castle on the surface of Mars has triggered a frenzy of speculation that the cold, arid planet some 140 million miles away was once inhabited by an advanced race of space aliens — and one expert believes they later traveled to Earth and interbred! The shocking, recently surfaced photograph snapped by NASA’s orbiting Mars Global Surveyor clearly suggests someone — or something — built four colossal walls long ago on the Red Planet’s surface in a square-shaped design similar to the outer fortifications of a castle from the Middle Ages. Computer analysis estimates that the “walls” are roughly 770 feet in length, and there’s even a space where a gate might have been! The incredible photo was shot in 2001…

Investigators say the girl’s gruesome granny and mother admitted they kept the mentally disabled 13-year-old prisoner in the makeshift, feces-strewn enclosure to “control” her! Police arrested mom Jami Hodges, 33, and grandmother Virginia Lujan, 55, after rushing the nonresponsive special-needs girl to the hospital — where she later died — and uncovering the conditions inside the deadly dwelling. Officers described a foulsmelling “cage” — actually a bunk bed with crudely installed bars — filled with filth and human waste. Disturbingly, four MORE children — aged 2 to 15 — were rescued from…

AFTER getting booted from TV for a racist tweet about an Obama presidential aide, Trump booster Roseanne Barr is getting the last laugh, say sources, with a new show in the works, a comeback to the spotlight, and her liberal Hollywood enemies fearing her vengeance! “She wants to come back and name names and turn her thumb down on everyone who stomped on her,” spills an insider. As GLOBE previously reported, Roseanne’s reboot sitcom was canceled by ABC in 2018, the morning after she fired off tweets referring to former President Barack Obama’s Black aide Valerie Jarrett as the offspring of the “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes.” While she was ousted, her Roseanne show was revised as The Connors, starring the rest of the cast minus the caustic…

Mars, 39, began dating 42-year-old actress/model and Jane the Virgin alum Caban — but while the pair shares a lavish Hollywood mansion, a friend says that in recent years they have become little more than roommates. “Jessica has stuck by Bruno all these years, even without a promise of marriage, much less starting a family,” spits a source. “But she feels he takes her for granted. They didn’t even spend the Christmas holidays together! She’s at the point where she can’t stand for things to continue this way.” But…

THE only species that has figured out the fountain of youth is Turritopsis dohrnii, an “immortal jellyfish” that can return to its juvenile form after reaching adulthood — over and over. YOU know those fluffy, light-as-air clouds in the sky? They’re made of tiny water droplets, and a large cumulus cloud can weigh up to 1.1 million pounds — as heavy as 100 elephants. SLOW-moving sloths have something over playful, prancing dolphins — they can hold their breath up to 40 minutes, while dolphins need to surface every 10 to 15 minutes for a gulp of air.

She knows it would be gangbusters for their ratings!” As GLOBE previously reported, spies snitch that the Ghost singer, 30, is haunted by the possibility that he may be forced to testify at the upcoming sex trafficking trial of his jailed former mentor Sean “Diddy” Combs.

AN OUT-TO-LUNCH ex-con has been tossed back in jail on charges that he hurled a bologna sandwich that struck his reeling roommate in the chest, according to a Florida police report. Oquavious Chandler, 29, is being held without bail — he was on probation for another crime when the alleged luncheon meat melee occurred — over a snack attack that the roomie claims occurred when he told churlish Chandler to lower the blaring volume on his PlayStation 5 video game. “The victim stated that the defendant became aggressive and began to yell at him,” say cops. Although the roomie “had no visible injuries” from the deli meat debacle in Wildwood, Chandler is now chewing on felony charges because of his history of prior battery convictions — two of which also involved…

LEGENDARY songwriter Joni Mitchell, who lost her ability to speak after a brain aneurysm 10 years ago, stole the show at a recent benefit concert for Los Angeles wildfire victims. The 81-year-old icon reduced fans to tears when she sang her 1966 hit Both Sides Now while sitting in a gilded chair as she tapped a black cane on the floor. “It does feel like a miracle,” a source tells GLOBE. “After her aneurysm, she couldn’t even speak and now she’s back performing. “She had to relearn how to talk, to sing, to play music, and she’s done it.

DID Kate Winslet cancel Reese Witherspoon after the Legally Blonde star dissed her at a “classy” British awards show? Reese didn’t name the former friend, only saying she was “a very serious, proper actress,” but online sleuths have deduced that she was talking about the Titanic star. Back in 2007, Reese was asked to present a BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Award to Kate, but mistakenly thought the event was a roast. So instead of praise, she regaled the audience with raunchy anecdotes. Other Kate stories were “too bawdy … or drunken to tell,” Reese added. After the reports, Witherspoon DENIED that it was Kate, saying, “Hey guys … just spoke to my very dear friend for years, Kate W. Please do not believe the internet. We are good friends and have…

The 52-year-old hunk first quit puffing in 2005 with the help of a hypnotist, and promised to give the trance-inducing technique another whirl in 2025 — but his efforts have turned to ashes. “For hypnosis to work there needs to be a really strong desire to quit and that obviously isn’t there,” spills the source. Ben bragged in a 2008 TV interview about the “huge…

THE sad news that country stars Tim McGraw and Willie Nelson are dealing with health and age issues begs a burning question — why don’t they just retire? As GLOBE recently reported, 57-year-old Tim is dropping out of a rodeo series on Netflix and had to cancel tour dates last year because of double knee surgery, and now needs an operation on his back. And pals fear 91-year-old Willie is touring too hard and if he doesn’t pull back “it will kill him.” Tim and star wife Faith Hill are worth a whopping $200 million, and Willie’s got a comparatively modest but still impressive $25 million — so moolah is not likely their motivation to keep working. Even love takes a backseat for some performers. Many showbiz marriages don’t last…

HUNKY Austin Butler is taking sleazy cues from his bachelor mentor Leonardo DiCaprio by dumping model Kaia Gerber and diving into the sea of women swimming his way, tipsters tattle. The Oscar-nominated Elvis actor, 33, seemed to have a burning love for the 23-year-old daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and business mogul Rande Gerber. But sources spill that the Dune prince kicked Kaia to the curb after three years so he could play the field like lothario Leo! “Austin KNOWS he’s the It Guy in Hollywood and he plans to take advantage of that!” an insider squeals.

JEN’S CHEST WAS A CONVERSATION PIECE Breast-tacular JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT, 46, recalls her teen years when men made a big deal about her 36D beauties. The Client List babe was a bra-bustin’ 16-year-old when she made the hit horror flick I Know What You Did Last Summer, and her chest became the talk of Tinseltown. “There were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts openly on a talk show, and people were laughing about it,” the buxom star recalls. “It was a culture that was fully accepted, but when … you look at where we are now, it is really mind-blowing.” She adds: “It was really strange, I think, to become a sex symbol sort of like before I even knew what that was.

MORE than 100 teens partied at a booze-filled bash at a school principal’s Florida pad — and now the dunce and one of her teachers could get the book thrown at them if convicted of charges related to the hooch-heavy hootenanny, lawmen say.

NUTTY Kanye West lost more than the Best Rap Song Grammy after parading his nearly naked wife on the red carpet in advance of the prestigious event — and sources say the outrageous stunt is sure to torpedo a $20 million deal for two concerts at the Tokyo Dome in Japan! The unhinged artist otherwise known as Ye, 47, shocked the Grammys crowd when he ordered his bombshell 30-year-old wife, Bianca Censori, to slip out of her floor-length black fur coat to reveal a super-sheer minidress with no underwear. According to a lip reader, Kanye whispered to Bianca, “You’re making a scene now. Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense. “Drop it behind you and then turn. I got you.” She obeyed his command, baring an outfit…

ROCK MUSE Marianne Faithfull was survived by son Nicholas upon her Jan. 30 death — but she went to her grave regretting not having a bigger family because years of drug addiction led to three miscarriages and four abortions! The 78-year-old singing and acting icon gave birth to her son with first husband John Dunbar in 1965 when she was just 18. But while she was a rising star on the music scene, she fell in with the Rolling Stones and in 1966 began a four-year affair with lead singer Mick Jagger that resulted in her leaving her husband.

HE-MAN actor GERARD BUTLER played the legendary Spartan king Leonidas in the epic 2006 action movie 300, a shot-for-shot liveaction adaptation of the Frank Miller comic. Butler underwent a grueling, four-month training period to make him look like a real warrior in the Battle of Thermopylae — no CGI effects or muscle suits to make him look awesomely ripped — but he was not invincible. The actor nearly lost an eye when a stuntman accidentally sliced Butler’s face with a real sword. He also came away with shoulder dislocations, torn muscles and severe exhaustion — and a newly launched Hollywood career.…
