The 73-year-old former late-night talk star and Mavis, 77, are childless and tied the knot 43 years ago, but she’s now in the clutches of the dreaded brain disease. The comic once joked the secret to his long marriage was that Mavis was “normal” and praised his wife as “the perfect person” for him. “I said always marry your conscience,” he says. “Marry the person you wish you could be, who is kind and maybe whatever fault you have, doesn’t haven’t those faults. That’s worked out for me.” Sadly, Mavis’ Alzheimer’s diagnosis is the latest tragedy to strike Leno, who insists his wife’s health isn’t…

Sarah was also shot, but survived her injuries. Cops say the brutal attack was documented on video as one of the pair’s…

AN INDIANA highway turned into a real circus when a semi-truck toting animals for a traveling big top exploded into flames, sending camels, zebras and a miniature horse running wild down the road! Amazingly, none of the ten critters were harmed during the wild jumble, which was caught on video. Insane images show state troopers trying to corral a camel loping across Interstate 69 through clouds of smoke while five zebras happily snack on nearby grass — undisturbed by the blaring sirens of emergency vehicles in the background. But it was touch and go for a while!

SITCOM star Ed O’Neill reveals he’s to blame for his yearslong feud with Married with Children co-star Amanda Bearse — and explains what sparked the bitterness. The 77-year-old, who played loser Al Bundy, insists he and Amanda, now 65, were incredibly close when the show began but their friendship went off the rails when a magazine wanted to feature the Bundy family on its cover — but nixed including TV neighbors played by Bearse and David Garrison. Bearse and Garrison pushed to be included, but O’Neill, who would later star in the hit Modern Family, says he refused to “speak up” or “go to bat” for Bearse because he feared the mag would kill the cover. Ed now “regrets” his decision, which he believes contributed to Amanda’s decision not to…

As GLOBE reported last issue, pro bono legal eagles with the Los Angeles Innocence Project are appealing Scott’s 2004 conviction, which already was tainted when his death sentence was overturned, based on new evidence including: 1. A burglar’s documented claim his crony threatened Laci when she witnessed them robbing a neighborhood house while walking her dog just hours before she vanished. 2. Possible bloodstains on a mattress in an orange…

AN American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Austin turned around on the runway and returned to the gate after a disgruntled passenger repeatedly — and deliberately — unleashed a series of foul, eye-watering farts in the cabin.

Scientists say the critters’ signature lumps are located on top of their skinny bodies because the location makes it easier to shed heat.

RAPPER Nicki Minaj dumped jet fuel on her white-hot feud with Megan Thee Stallion by releasing a new tune aimed at embarrassing her music rival with mocking lyrics about a secret cosmetic fix. Mean girl Minaj, 41, taunts Megan, 29, in her tune Big Foot with the line: “Um, why did you lie about your lipo?” and continues with the nasty lyric, “F*ckin’ your best friend man is crazy, you the type, though.” The attack comes two days after Megan released her song Hiss, which seemingly refers to Minaj’s hubby, Kenneth Petty, aka Zoo Bang, being a convicted sex offender.

Sometimes I love her, sometimes I don’t love her, sometimes I’m angry with her, sometimes I’m crazy about her, sometimes I’m very jealous of her, sometimes I wanna f*cking kill her.” His wild rant came days after Sharon confessed she attempted suicide over his four-year affair with hairdresser MICHELLE PUGH in 2016.

WRESTLING rogue Vince McMahon is on the ropes again — a furious former employee is suing him for sex trafficking and trying to bury her testimony with $3 million in hush money! But in an effort to defuse the scandal, the 78-year-old WWE founder resigned as executive chairman of the pro wrestling conglomerate even as Janel Grant’s explosive lawsuit sent shock waves around the world with claims he pooped on her head during a threesome — and forced her to continue to pleasure the other man while still covered in excrement! However, McMahon insists Janel’s lawsuit is a total lie and contains “made-up instances that never occurred” — despite quitting his role as the WWE’s CEO in 2022 when the company conducted an internal probe of his bizarre behavior and…
