VAIN Barbra Streisand is going deaf — but the diva refuses to wear a hearing aid and may never sing again, stunned spies spill! The 82-year-old musical majesty bared her hearing problem last year, but an insider reveals she’s living in fear of becoming deaf as a post — and “doesn’t want people to see her with those ugly contraptions in her ears.

MOLLY GOT A BANG OUTTA STUDIO 54 Nerdy MOLLY RINGWALD was famed for roles as the goody-goody teen in ’80s flicks like Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles, but years later, she was more like the floozy Sally Bowles she was playing in the musical Cabaret when she got knocked up in a dressing room during a hot sex session. The 56-year-old redhead just confessed that’s the way she conceived MATHILDA, 20, oldest of her three kids with writer hubby PANIO GIANOPOULOS.

MOVIE hunk Ryan Gosling jumps into action in the movie reboot of The Fall Guy. As crime-fighting stuntman Colt Seavers, 43-year-old Ryan is boldly taking on a character originated by Lee Majors in the ’80s TV show of the same name. But the cheeky comedy leaps in a slightly different direction than its small-screen predecessor by revving up its high-octane action sequences. Here are ten things you don’t know about Barbie’s Oscar-nominated beau. 1 He was raised a Mormon and says religion influenced every aspect of his family life. 2 At 12, he was given a two-year contract to be a Mouseketeer on The Mickey Mouse Club — but didn’t have as much screentime as his talented kid castmates Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. 3 During the second…

WACKO Walter Medina kidnapped a female panhandler in Florida and kept her as his torture slave for two terrifying months — until the brave gal made a daring run for freedom, lawmen say. The abused woman, whose name is being withheld by authorities, sprinted from 48-year-old Medina’s minivan in Seffner when he left the vehicle to go into a store, authorities allege. According to the Hillsborough Sheriff’s Office, the down-on-her-luck dame said she’d been looking for handouts in Tampa when the psycho lured her into his clutches with food and drugs. Once she was trapped in the louse’s lair, the bearded brute beat her with a baseball bat and broke numerous ribs, left her with puncture wounds from a screwdriver and inflicted other injuries, investigators charge. Responding officers report the…

LIVID Queen Camilla has purged Harry and Meghan’s palace spies — Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice — to blind the runaway royals and stop all efforts to undermine the monarchy as King Charles battles cancer, palace insiders say. Upset over their sex creep father Prince Andrew’s banishment, Duchess Sarah Ferguson’s daughters were caught feeding family secrets to their California-based cousin and are now banned from the palace, according to high-ranking royal insiders. “Camilla has totally cut Bea and Eugenie off, depriving Harry and his American wife of their main pipeline for inside information,” a courtier tells GLOBE. “Eugenie and Beatrice are very close to Harry and both stayed loyal to him and Meghan through thick and thin. Now the chickens have come home to roost.” Sources reveal Beatrice, 35, and Eugenie,…

DANCE Moms alum JoJo Siwa is only 20, but she‘s already spent tens of thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures! “These motherf* ckers cost me 50 grand,” Siwa brags while exposing her gleaming veneers — thin coverings she recently had placed on her teeth.

I’m a very insecure person,” she says.…

He was released from the Davidson County Jail at 3:30 a.m. on a $15,250 bond and ordered to appear in court May 3. Sources claim Morgan…

Police say Grace refused to reveal her identity, and was booked on misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure and obstructing government operations. While the crimes seem minor, the incident may mean more big trouble for Wynonna’s daughter, who has already served five stints in prison in the past seven years. “This could be another parole violation that sends…

CLINT EASTWOOD wasn’t feeling lucky, punk, when he made a really unpromising film debut in the 1955 3D monster schlock Revenge of the Creature!

FLAB-HATING Taylor Swift has ordered her All-Pro football stud, Travis Kelce, to shed the unwanted lard he piled on following his Super Bowl win, according to tattlers who squeal the songbird’s intense diet plan is driving the jock batty. Sources snitch the Kansas City Chiefs tight end usually weighs 250 pounds during football season, but the 6-foot-5 hunk has let some of that muscle go to fat, which trim Tay-Tay can’t stand. “The bottom line is she doesn’t want her man to get love handles or flab, since she can barely get her arms around him as it is,” spills an insider. “It’s very important to her, from an attraction standpoint — and for their image — that Travis doesn’t get slobby and pile on a massive beer belly like…

NOBODY would call screen beauty ANGELINA JOLIE a dog, but she’s like a mutt that won’t let go of a bone when it comes to attacking ex-hubby BRAD PITT! The Tomb Raider hottie first fired shocking domestic abuse allegations when they split in 2016, charging the drunk Troy hunk roughed up her and son MADDOX, then 15, on a private jet.

WYOMING hunter Cody Roberts is being branded Meanest Man in America after being accused of taping an injured wolf’s mouth shut, torturing the helpless critter and flaunting his cruelty at a local saloon before ending the horror by shooting it dead. Before snuffing the terrified animal, cops say the 42-year-old terrorized the exhausted, helpless animal at his local bar in Daniel, where he proudly held the defenseless creature by the scruff of the neck — as it cowered like a beaten puppy — while he guzzled beer. Yet, he was only charged with being in possession of a live wolf and fined a measly $250 because animal cruelty laws don’t apply to wild animals, say sources. The horrific Feb. 29 tale began after Roberts, a father of one and trucking…

Vegan diet bad for brain + HARVARD-trained Dr. Georgia Ede — a nutritional and metabolic psychiatrist — has beefed up the argument against veganism by proclaiming a plant-based diet is bad for our mental health! “The brain needs meat,” says Ede, who explains many nutrients linked to emotional well-being are more easily obtained at optimal levels by consuming animal products. Those nutrients include B12, which is connected to the regulation of mood-boosting serotonin, and inflammation-busting zinc because a deficiency of the mineral is associated with depression. Pot hikes heart attack risk + DAILY weed smokers are 25 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack — and have a 45 percent higher stroke risk — than people who don’t puff pot, a new study finds. “We know toxins are released…

STUCK-UP Kathie Lee Gifford says she hasn’t watched Today since April 5, 2019 — her last day on the show! “I want to know what’s going on in this world, but I don’t want it in the Today show kind of way,” she sniffs. “Just give me the facts, folks.” Footballer Frank Gifford’s widow and Hoda Kotb, who were famous for guzzling wine on-air, hosted Today’s fourth hour from 2008 to 2019, when she was replaced by Jenna Bush Hager. The ex-host recently stopped by her old gig to promote The Baxters, a show co-starring her daughter, Cassidy — and to bemoan cancel culture. When she was on Today, Kathie Lee says, “you weren’t editing yourself all the time, and that’s the trouble today with humor. When you always have…

CRUMBLING Cher’s long list of ailments from migraines to insomnia have become a huge headache for her boytoy beau Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, who she’s running ragged as her personal nursemaid, spies tattle. “He serves her needs sexually, keeps her from being lonely and oversees her medical situation,” says a tipster. “She treats him like a nursemaid and gets angry when he’s not by her side. She pays him well and he’s sure earning it.” The 77-year-old Believe songbird and the 38-year-old music producer first started dating in November 2022, split last May over her fears that he was just using her for status and money and got back together in October, according to insiders. But her health is taking a toll on the relationship, the tipster dishes. The odd couple…

GORGEOUS George Clooney is hiding a bizarre secret behind his megawatt smile — sources reveal the star suffers from a teeth-grinding problem that’s getting worse with age. Insiders say the 62-year-old Ocean’s Twelve heartthrob’s wealth and success have come at a price that includes hefty dental bills! “He still grinds his teeth something awful and he’s tried everything to remedy it,” spills a source. “He doesn’t even realize he’s chomping down on them half the time. It comes from all the pressure he faces as an actor, producer and director, not to mention hubby to Amal and dad to two six-year-olds!” Early on, George’s grinding damaged his choppers, which he reportedly hid with veneers and crowns for a whiter, brighter smile. But with his success, his “self-doubt and anxiety and…

Like honestly, I still don’t poop alone. Beau still stands there and stares and talks to me, like, while I’m pooping!” Tori’s toileting TMI came during a recent episode of her Misspelling podcast as she shockingly dishes she always needs somebody close by to share her icky evacuations! “I think I function better with people. Is that codependent? Yes. Cool,” added Tori, spelling it out for astonished fans. The 50-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 alum…

COUNTRY icon Dolly Parton fears her massive $650 million estate will trigger a ferocious family feud with dozens of kinfolk battling for a piece of the pie after she meets her maker, according to sources who say she’s crafting a peace-making will. While Dolly, 78, and hubby Carl Dean, 81, never had kids, eight of Dolly’s 11 siblings are still living, and they have given the Jolene singer dozens of nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews who lovingly call her “Aunt Granny!” That’s why the singer says she’s been carefully plotting out her legacy and drawing up a will to prevent greed from ripping her family apart, says a mole. “I would not want to leave that mess to somebody else,” Dolly says. “You don’t want to leave that mess to…

CRUEL crackpots Carolyn Luke and Timothy Miller collected and neglected hundreds of animals in Nevada — sending dozens to early graves, authorities say.

An officer says as soon as one of the sickos rolled down the car window, he was socked with the stench of rotting critters! According to investigators, the vehicle contained several rabbits and 51 guinea pigs stuffed into plastic totes and luggage — and 11 of the rodents were already dead!

BARBARA MANDRELL is rarin’ to reign as queen of country music once again — more than two decades after she retired, according to insiders! “Barbara’s making her presence known again after 27 years on the sidelines and is looking and feeling great,” says a source close to the 75-year-old, who stepped back from her red-hot career in 1997. “Nashville’s been trying to get her back for years and she’s now answering the call,” our spy says. “Truth is, she got a little bored being stuck at home, watching TV and gardening.” So over the last couple of years, Barbara’s been edging back into the spotlight. In 2022, the I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool singer appeared at a celebration of the 50th anniversary of her induction into the Grand…

GOLDEN Bachelor Gerry Turner and his bachelorette Theresa Nist tied the knot in a glitzy Jan. 4 TV ceremony — yet three months later, the honeymooners were still in a long-kiss-tance relationship. As GLOBE reported last issue, sources dish the 72-year-old hunk and his 70-year-old bride aren’t sharing the same bed — or even living in the same house or state! Gerry was holed up at his Indiana lake house while Theresa was back in New Jersey working at her gig at TFS, a financial services company. Is this a surprise? Maybe to the millions of fans of TV’s Bachelor franchise, who like to live in a fairytale bubble believing the nonsense spewed by these supposedly truthful reality shows. But to anyone who is living in real reality, this farce…
