FORMER beauty queen and model Tracie Samara claims her craving to turn back time led to a “botched” facial rejuvenation treatment that destroyed her face and nearly left her blind! Now 61, the Miami model quit her successful catwalk career to start a family, but in her mid-40s decided to jump back into the game. But before she did, Tracie wanted to “freshen” her face and “turn back the clock” with rejuvenation surgery. “I should have gone to a reputable doctor but I stumbled upon a newspaper ad announcing a contest for free noninvasive facial rejuvenation,” she recalls. “I took a chance and entered. To my surprise, I won.” Tracie had never had a cosmetic procedure and didn’t know what to expect, but the offices “didn’t look shady or anything.…

PLUS-SIZED Valerie Bertinelli is finally embracing her fuller figure after decades of battling the bulge! The Food Network alum, 63, recently donned the jeans and blouse she wore in the first “before” photo for her iconic 2007 weight loss company’s ad campaign — and insists she’s “never felt more beautiful” or “more at peace” than she does today in her “fat clothes!” The blunt blabbermouth jaws, “That’s f*cked up.” The former Valerie’s Home Cooking host says, “I have done so much emotional and mental work to recover from years of pretending everything was OK when it wasn’t.” Bertinelli forked over nearly $3 million to ex-hubby Tom Vitale in 2022 to settle their bitter divorce.

PRINCE ANDREW’s ex-wife Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson is devastated after former aide Jenean Chapman was murdered in Texas two months after marrying her accused killer, James Patrick, who cops claim frequently beat her bloody during wild screaming matches! While lawmen are still being cagey about how Jenean, 46, died late last month, investigators found her body after she didn’t show up for work and neighbors near the couple’s Dallas apartment complained of a foul smell wafting through the halls. Patrick, 48, was arrested 200 miles away in Austin and is being held on $100,000 bond.

MANY popular treatments recommended to relieve disruptive hot flashes caused by menopause are useless, according to shocking new research. A team of scientists from the U.S., Australia and Italy analyzed data from over 200 studies and determined less than 15 percent of gals find effective therapies to adequately alleviate their discomfort. Menopause is the natural decline in reproductive hormones as ovarian function ceases. Hormone replacement therapy can eliminate hot flashes — a temperature dysfunction also known as vasomotor symptoms (VMS) — but many women opt for other remedies. Alternatives like acupuncture, plant estrogen supplements and the herb black cohosh proved no better than a placebo, the researchers say. Some prescription drugs — such as the anti-depressants paroxetine and citalopram, the blood pressure drug clonidine and the anticonvulsant gabapentin — are…

Selleck was recently spotted mid-snack attack picking up some yums from McDonald’s!

Wendy Goldstein of Kings-land says the pugnacious porker foamed at the mouth as it went after her daughter, knocked down her dad, flattened her mom “like an accordion” — and disgustingly tried to hump their legs! “My grandma’s being attacked by a random pig!” a child’s voice can be heard squealing in a frantic call to 911. “Now my grandpa’s being attacked!” Wendy says the black-and white spotted glutton attacked her daughter in the yard and trotted after the kid right into the house. “My mom tried to lay on top of him to crunch him…

PRINCE HARRY and wife Meghan’s attempts to conquer Holly-wood and U.S. politics are being blocked by Michelle and Barack Obama, who are giving them the cold shoulder and have sabotaged the snooty duchess’ outrageous scheme to be a U.S. senator, sources reveal.

SECRET Service agents guarding Joe Biden are facing a doggie danger — the White House pet pooch Commander. The German shepherd’s bitten nearly a dozen of the president’s protectors. Newly surfaced Secret Service emails reveal the two-year-old pup had nipped ten agents as of July and he recorded his 11th bite in late September. West Wing staffers are playing dumb to the charges, claiming Commander is “so friendly.” “Everyone loves him,” insists a staffer. “He’s always so friendly. It’s shocking that he can be so aggressive. I’ve never seen him like that.” They blame the snap attacks on agents sporting threatening, unfriendly facial expressions and a mean attitude. “The White House is just a crazy environment for a dog,” says a former White House worker. “There are enormous men with guns…

CRAZED college coed Sydney Powell will spend the next 15 years behind bars for killing her mom with a frying pan and a knife after her parents learned she’d been kicked out of school for bad grades! Ohio Judge Kelly McLaughlin ignored psycho Sydney’s tears while imposing the sentence on Sept. 30 after her lawyer Donald Malarcik revealed the slayer suffers from untreated schizophrenia and was out of her mind when she attacked her mother, Brenda, 50, in her Akron home.

AFTER quitting his palace duties and repeatedly trashing the royals in the press, a memoir and film, rogue Prince Harry is outrageously demanding an apology from his family — leaving brother William baffled as to what his gripe is. Royal historian Gareth Russell says the 41-year-old future king “does not know” why Harry, 38, wants an apology from his family. Russell believes Harry is boiling over with a lot of secret grievances and slights that his kin are unaware of. He notes in Harry’s memoir, Spare: “There’s a bit where Prince Harry says, William was asking, ‘What is it? What is the problem?’ “And Prince Harry said to himself, ‘How could he not know?’ “So I think maybe there’s a lot of things Prince Harry is carrying around. Even according…
