CANDIDATE Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on American military heroes — like the Army officer husband of GOP presidential rival Nikki Haley, former POW Sen. John McCain and war-crippled veterans — are an attempt to distract from his own shameful cowardice when he chickened out of serving his country by falsely claiming he was unfit for duty because of a minor medical condition, political insiders and medical experts claim. Shrinks say Trump’s childish mocking of combat vets — branding servicemen who died in battle as losers and suckers — is driven by deep-seated feelings of inadequacy because the brash former president knows he’s yellow! Now GLOBE has uncovered the explosive truth from newly unsealed Selective Service records, presidential physical reports and damning testimony revealing the spoiled rich kid dodged the draft…

ATTENTION-craving Kanye West has been showing off his blingy $850,000 titanium dentures, but what people are really buzzing about is the bizarre lump on his upper lip that has some experts wondering if it’s the sexually transmitted disease herpes! Fans noted the growth as the disgraced, 46-year-old rapper, who’s been slammed for his hateful remarks about Blacks and Jews, flashed his metallic smile while strutting through an airport with wife Bianca Censori, 29. British dental expert Dr. Praveen Sharma notes that “one of the commonest causes of lumps on the lips is being infected with herpes.” Genital herpes and oral herpes are passed during vaginal, oral or anal sex, say experts. Oral herpes can also by passed by kissing or sharing a fork or knife. However, another medical expert suggests…

What happens in Vegas ain’t stayin’ in Vegas after USHER, 45, secretly wed 39-year-old baby mom JENNIFER GOICOECHEA while in town to perform at the Super Bowl. Congrats! Two and a Half Men creator CHUCK LORRE, 71, finalized his divorce with trophy wife ARIELLE LORRE, 38. He’ll get to keep the dog, but has to give the influencer $5 million. Woof.

JIMMY KIMMEL has been a network TV staple since landing his self-named talk show in 2003. But the funny-man has also hosted some of Hollywood’s biggest nights. Jovial Jimmy, 56, is a three-time emcee for the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Oscars. This year, he’s back for his fourth stint hosting the Academy Awards — tying Whoopi Goldberg and Jack Lemmon and one behind Johnny Carson. But The Man Show alum will have to return five more times to match Billy Crystal, and 15 more to equal Bob Hope, who did the honors 19 times, including six before they were televised! Here are ten things you don’t know about the late-night yakker. 1 He was a Roman Catholic altar boy for seven years. 2 Jimmy played clarinet in his high…

RINCE HARRY’s quickie trip to his estranged father King Charles’ side after the monarch was diagnosed with killer cancer is being branded a cynical PR stunt by a rogue royal frantic to repair the economic damage caused by his ugly family feud! Palace courtiers tell GLOBE the Duke of Sussex spent far more time in the air during a 26-hour round trip from California to London than he did in his dad’s presence — a mere 30 minutes that apparently didn’t go very well. But “it was mission accomplished for Harry because all he really wanted was to be seen as a considerate, caring son to help burnish his battered image,” says the courtier. “Harry had zero interest in mending family ties — and made no attempt to see his…

WIND-’EM-UP Whoopi Goldberg showed she isn’t above coaxing an old pal into squirting a few tears for the camera! The 68-year-old View co-host showboated on a Feb. 7 episode by asking actress Sheryl Lee Ralph to join the cast of the upcoming third Sister Act musical comedy film — and Abbott Elementary star Ralph, 67, who co-starred with Whoopi in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit in 1993, burst into tears of joy! “Whoopi and Sheryl Lee have been close friends for over 30 years, so of course Whoopi could have offered her the role privately,” spills a source. “But she knows how emotional Sheryl Lee is, so she wanted to put her on the spot on camera. Whoopi isn’t above using her pals to make for good TV!”…

HEALTH officials are scrambling to contain deadly bubonic plague after an Oregon resident was stricken with the bug that wiped out nearly half the population of Europe in the 1300s. The patient, whose name was concealed by authorities, is believed to have caught the black death from an infected cat. It is the first case in the U.S. since 2015, when a 16-year-old came down with the bacterial disease, often carried by fleas, that left up to 50 million Europeans dead between 1346 and 1353. Deschutes County health officer Dr. Richard Fawcett says, “All close contacts of the resident and their pet have been contacted and provided medication to prevent illness.” The disease, carried by squirrels, chipmunks, other wild rodents and their fleas, is treatable with antibiotics if caught early.…

HUNKY George Clooney has some big competition on the home front as the silver fox’s wife, Amal, is seriously smitten with the new St. Bernard puppy she got for her 46th birthday! The glam civil rights attorney was caught on camera in the south of France cuddling the giant fluffball like a baby — with the plus-sized pooch’s tremendous paws on full display, much to George’s amusement. Pin-thin Amal needed two arms to tote her canine com panion. But there’s little doubt the pet will soon out-grow her embrace as adults of the colossal breed can weigh up to 180 pounds! According to tipsters, the adorable doggo — named Nelson — was a surprise birthday gift from the Ocean’s Eleven stud, 62, to his baby mom. Insiders dish the duo —…

BRITNEY SPEARS’ desperately sick dad, Jamie, is trying to shake her down for more money, according to sources, who say the bitter pop tart would rather go flat broke than hand him another dime. Jamie, 71, who had his leg amputated in November after an infection, filed court documents accusing his daughter of using tactics that would delay their trial set for June, where he wants Britney to pay his legal fees. But the 42-year-year Baby One More Time singer is battling him tooth and nail — still furious at her father for the 13-year conservatorship where she says he kept her like a prisoner, spied on her and ripped her off for millions. “As far as she’s concerned, he’s taken more than enough from her and doesn’t deserve another…

KOOKY PETE PULLS DISAPPEARING ACT Volatile KIM KARDASHIAN ex PETE DAVIDSON backed out of a gig warming up for comedian MATT RIFE’s Radio City Music Hall performance two hours before showtime, leaving his pal in the lurch. Luckily, little-known comedian JOHN CAMPANELLI was shanghaied — unshowered, unshaved and wearing sweatpants — to appear in front of 6,000 people. Bravo! But troubled former Saturday Night Live star Pete, 30, is flaking out again due to bipolar/borderline personality disorder and has abruptly canceled a series of shows. Word is pals are plotting an emergency intervention for the dude who co-owns a derelict Staten Island ferryboat. SUNNY’S SHOCKING FAMILY TIES Stunned SUNNY HOSTIN, 55, who has a Black dad and a Puerto Rican mom, discovered a series of family secrets on an episode of…

SUAVE skirt-chaser Billy Dee Williams — who played lothario Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars film franchise — admits his rampant infidelity wrecked his three marriages! Now 86, the Lady Sings the Blues heartthrob crows, “I’ve been philandering my whole life!” The twice-divorced two-timer — who separated from his third wife in 1993 — confides, “I’m intrigued with strong women. Obviously that gets me in trouble.” But the bad boy blubbers, “How I got into those situations, I will never know!”…

A TWISTED tattoo artist has pleaded guilty to buying, selling and trading human body parts like at some sicko swap meet — and has even admitted to bagging a stillborn baby in return for five human skulls! In all, Matthew Lampi exchanged about $100,000 in online payments with supplier Jeremy Pauley, who last month pleaded guilty to an abuse of corpse charge. Lampi, 52, had been swept up along with Pauley in the shocking Harvard morgue scandal, where from 2018 to 2022 a cabal of creeps stole and sold off human remains — “heads, brains, skin and bones” — earmarked for research as donations to Harvard Medical School. Morgue manager Cedric Lodge and his wife, Denise, have been charged with grabbing the ghoulish goods and peddling them to the highest…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE MUSIC mogul Jay-Z pulled an embarrassing stunt at the Grammy Awards that made him and his superstar wife, Beyoncé, look like crybabies and clowns. As GLOBE reported, he got on the stage and basically whined that the great Taylor Swift has won Album of the Year four times, but Beyoncé has never copped that particular prize while still nabbing 32 Grammys, more than anyone else. “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone, but never won Album of the Year. So, even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work,” Jay-Z complained. The only thing Jay-Z accomplished was making himself and Beyoncé seem like classless sore losers. His only excuse — and it’s a poor one — is he’s married…

HUMPHREY BOGART as a grumpy boat mechanic and KATHARINE HEPBURN as a missionary turn the tide of global war while steering a poky steamboat through treacherous waters in the 1951 romantic adventure The African Queen. Although their boating scenes were largely shot in studio tanks near London, there was enough time spent on location in Uganda and the Congo that cast and crew all became violently ill — except for Bogart and director John Huston, who stayed healthy by drinking whiskey instead of the local water!…

TV heavyweight VALERIE BERTINELLI, 63 — once a poster girl for Jenny Craig diet ads — says she’s now terrified to step on a scale after being “considered overweight” at 5-foot-4 and 150 pounds! The ousted host of Valerie’s Home Cooking shared a 2014 photo of her soaking up the sun in a purple bikini, writing, “I don’t weigh myself anymore” because she objects to standards used to determine who’s chunky. Former child star Valerie, who stopped counting calories about a decade ago, insists nobody should be “overshadowed” by their size and weight. But an internet critic sneers, “All this woman EVER talks about is her weight and her divorce,” a nasty bust-up from businessman TOM VITALE that was finalized in November 2022. Could be time to zip your lips, girl.…

POP star Lizzo still faces a sexual harassment lawsuit by her three former dancers after an L.A. judge denied the singer’s claims that whatever nasty things were said to the gals was protected free speech. Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez accuse Lizzo of forcing them to attend and perform in sex shows at Paris’ Crazy Horse cabaret and other joints while on tour, mocking their virginity and subjecting them to racial discrimination by the obese singer’s all-white staff.…

ADD Warren G. Harding to the list of horn-dog U.S. presidents who couldn’t keep it in their pants! Among other entries, a new book on presidential passions steams open torrid letters the married 29th prez sent to his mistress — who later tried to blackmail him with his porno prose and pervy poetry! Hot-to-trot Harding, who died in 1923 at age 57, hooked up with neighbor Caroline “Carrie” Phillips in the summer of 1905 when his wife, Florence, was in bed with a kidney infection. “I love your poise / Of perfect thighs / When they hold me / in paradise,” he penned to his paramour. He even gave the pet name “Jerry” to his penis: “Jerry came and will not go, says he loves you, that you are the…

DISGRACED football icon O.J. Simpson dodged a death sentence at his trial for murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman, but the cocky ex-con can’t win his new war with killer cancer, say insiders. The 76-year-old former NFL ballcarrier — who beat the double murder rap in 1995 but served time for a 2007 kidnapping and armed robbery — recently learned he has prostate cancer and has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment in Las Vegas, say sources. “Simpson’s trying to play it down, but his cancer diagnosis appears to be bad news,” spills an insider. “He’s lost a lot of weight, doesn’t look well and has an unsteady gait.” Haggard O.J. recently insisted he was not going into cancer hospice for his final days, but insiders claim the…

EVERY banana is radioactive due to the potassium in the tasty treat, which is actually a form of berry! Bananas were made popular at the 1876 Philadelphia World’s Fair, where they were sold for 10 cents each. UNLIKE humans, coyotes mate for life. Biologists believe the critters’ astounding fidelity is based on the large size of their litters, which can contain seven pups. A FLATTENED tractor trailer spread thousands of bottles and cans of 7 Up and Dr Pepper on Interstate 80, closing the highway between Mogul and Garson, Nev., for several hours. TALK about a diamond in the rough! Workers at a recycling center in Greenville, S.C., spent hours sifting through trash searching for Melanie Harper’s lost gem-encrusted wedding band before striking gold!…
