PLUCKY performer Willie Nelson can’t wait to get back on the road again—but pals fear the 91-year-old country legend could keel over from the strain of touring! The Red Headed Stranger has announced a string of new concerts in April in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Texas—to follow his already slated gigs in Florida. Now, sources squeal that loved ones are trying to convince the stubborn geezer to scale back, but he is refusing to take their advice—even though a long litany of physical problems has nearly left him crippled! “His family and friends hoped he’d be singing his farewell song by now. But no, Willie wants to keep going—even though his body is bent, he can barely walk and his health’s on a steady decline,” an insider dishes. In fact, ill…

TOUGH-AS-NAILS Tim McGraw is suffering from a shocking body breakdown that’s forced the country music king to pull out of his hotly anticipated Netflix series and put his future as a live performer in doubt, tipsters tattle. The Grown Men Don’t Cry singer, 57, was set to star in and coproduce an as-yet-untitled show set in the competitive bull riding rodeo world—but he’s been bucked from the screen role by health woes!

COMBATIVE Martha Stewart has launched a salvo at an equally feisty octogenarian, Barbra Streisand, igniting what sources believe will be a battle royal between two of showbiz’s most ironwilled stars! Martha, 83, is said to have really riled the 82-year-old Broadway and screen legend when she suggested that Barbra’s 992-page autobiography was “long and boring.” The flap started when the domestic diva was interviewing bombshell Pamela Anderson for Elle magazine and started gabbing about penning her life story. “I’m writing an autobiography right now,” Martha told the Last Showgirl star. “Wait until you do that … Boy, I’m having fun. I’m not going to let anything not be said. I want to tell it all.” The culinary mogul could have left it at that—but instead decided to take a swipe…

AFTER living in disgrace for years, Mel Gibson is tickled pink over his amazing new gig as President Donald Trump’s “special envoy” to Hollywood, sources say—and he’s vowing to clean up the industry while getting sweet revenge on his many woke enemies! Trump tapped the 69-year-old Braveheart Oscar winner along with fellow conservative stars Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight as “special ambassadors” for Hollywood, with the goal of bringing back business lost to “foreign countries.” “Mel hasn’t lost that fire in his belly. He’s still a proud guy who doesn’t take s**t and that’s a big reason, presumably, why Trump has brought him in,” blabs an insider. “The mission is to take a broom to woke Hollywood, reward those who aren’t being fairly recognized, and effectively destroy the bloodsuckers who’ve…

BUSYBODY Jennifer Aniston is worried about another one of her Friends—David Schwimmer—after the lovebitten actor started dating a gal half his age, say sources. “Jen can’t help meddling, and David means a great deal to her,” shares an insider. “She doesn’t think this is a good match!” David, 58, has gone public with his new girlfriend, 29-year-old UCLA medical student Eliana Jolkovsky. The two lovebirds were recently spotted on a romantic date at Spago in Beverly Hills. David has had about as many romantic ups and downs as Ross Geller, his love-challenged character on Friends. He has dated singer-actress Tina Barrett, rocker Gina Lee, Spanish actress Carla Alapont, actress Mili Avital and singer Natalie Imbruglia. His lone marriage, to artist Zoe Buckman, ended in divorce in 2017 after seven years and…
