SLOW learner Jamie Lynn Spears gave her teenage daughter Maddie an all-terrain vehicle for Christmas — nine years after the 17-year-old was almost killed riding one! In pictures Britney’s 34-year-old sister shared on Instagram, Maddie posed with younger sister Ivey, 7, on top of her Christmas present, a red-and-black ATV. Another snap was a closeup shot of the vehicle adorned with a bow and a gift tag with Maddie’s name written in gold glittery letters. Maddie commented on the post, “Wow you did me so dirty.” Spears jokingly replied, “I can’t win here.” Maddie was apparently referring to the traumatic 2017 accident, which left her critically injured when the ATV she was riding flipped into a pond. The then 8-year-old was submerged underwater for several minutes. Family members jumped in…

GRAMMY winner Richard Marx has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, and the Don’t Mean Nothing singer is poised to add to that astounding number with his latest release — the big band–inspired After Hours. Marx, 62, says of his new record, “The challenge of writing songs as if I were pitching them to Frank Sinatra in 1948 really appealed to me. Creating these songs was more fun than I could’ve imagined.” Here are 10 things you don’t know about the hitmaker. 1 He’s the only child of singer Ruth Guildoo and jazz musician Dick Marx, who founded a jingle company in the early 1960s. 2 At age 5, he began singing professionally by performing some of his father’s jingles in commercial spots for Arm & Hammer, Ken-L Ration and…

TEXANS are trembling with fear over a potential serial killer in their midst after nearly 70 corpses were pulled from Houston’s bayous over the past two years — including three bodies discovered just last month. The ages of the dead range from 14 to 69, but the city’s mayor, John Whitmire, pooh-poohed talk of a murderer running rampant during a press conference and said the deaths aren’t connected. “There is no evidence that there is a serial killer loose on the streets of Houston. Enough is enough of wild speculation,” Whitmire insisted. The politician’s remarks came after the remains of University of Houston student Jade McKissic, 20, were fished from Brays Bayou on Sept. 15. Lawmen say her body did not show signs of foul play, and the Harris County…

IT WASN’T just a huge hit, but a catalyst for change. After its more violent sequences were criticized, Gremlins, along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, was one of the movies that led to the addition of PG-13 to Hollywood’s film rating system. The 1984 comedy-horror hit, which was directed by Joe Dante, executive-produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Harry Potter director Chris Columbus, centered on bands of evil creatures led by Stripe. The rampaging monsters kill many residents of an upstate New York town before they are eliminated … temporarily. They returned in the 1990 sequel, Gremlins 2 — and a third film is expected in 2027.…

BLOWHARD celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly recently tied the knot with Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, but their chances of happily ever after look slim to none amid a bitter falling-out with the groom’s parents. Instead of trying to make peace, the combative Hell’s Kitchen vet, 59, added fuel to the fire with his wedding toast. He started off with standard fatherof-the-bride comments, telling his daughter how beautiful she looked and reminding Adam how lucky he was. But in a dig at Adam’s absent parents, the bigmouth reality star snarked, “Shame you don’t have the same!” The family feud reportedly erupted when Holly, 26, didn’t invite the 31-year-old groom’s mother, Caroline, to her bachelorette party, even though her own mother, Tana, and some of her friends — including Victoria Beckham…

IAN HIT WITH BEATDOWN SUIT Former Beverly Hills, 90210 star IAN ZIERING, 61, has been clobbered with a civil lawsuit over a biker brawl two years ago. JACOB HERNANDEZ claims the actor “verbally and physically” assaulted him in an unprovoked, road-rage attack causing emotional distress and malicious prosecution. According to a 2023 police report, Ziering had gotten out of his Mercedes thinking a biker had damaged it. The Sharknado star began arguing with one biker and “three to four additional minibike riders jumped in and assaulted” the actor. Hernandez was arrested, held on $50,000 bond and charges were later dropped. But he says the arrest and negative publicity due to Ziering’s false claims left him with “significant mental health issues” of extreme anxiety, panic attacks and paranoia. He’s asking for compensatory…

DISTRAUGHT Duchess Meghan is on the verge of a total emotional collapse as her carefully curated life with hubby Prince Harry is coming apart at the seams, sources say. In a one-two gut punch, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently lost their chief U.S. publicist Meredith Maines and longtime ally James Holt, who stepped down as the executive director of the couple’s Archewell Foundation — a position he held for nearly five years. The double whammy has left a new dent in the renegade royals’ reputation that the imageconscious duchess is terrified can never be repaired! “Meghan is in full meltdown mode,” a source says. “She’s blaming everyone around her for her troubles — especially Harry — and people around her are afraid she’s losing it. “She’s seeing everything…

JAILBIRD Chad Aaron Ollinger — who appeared on TV’s Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch — is accused of fatally beating his Nevada cellmate weeks before the reality star was set to be sprung from the slammer, lawmen say. Guards discovered the unresponsive inmate at the Clark County Detention Center on Dec. 26, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department determined the victim, whose name was withheld, was “suffering from apparent blunt force injuries” following a fight. The motionless man was declared dead at the scene, and 41-year-old Chad was rebooked for open murder, according to cops, who did not reveal the cause of the alleged altercation. On the Discovery Channel series, which has run for five seasons, Chad searched for gold alongside his dad, oil and gas entrepreneur Duane Ollinger,…

THE hits keep coming in the nasty divorce between Real Housewives star Denise Richards and estranged hubby Aaron Phyphers, who have now been evicted from their six-bedroom, five-bathroom Calabasas, Calif., mansion after reportedly owing a whopping $84,000 in back rent. While the former Bond beauty apparently moved out in 2023, self-proclaimed self-help guru Phypers remained in the house. But her name was also on the lease when landlord John Karan recently nabbed the eviction order after the battling former couple failed to answer his lawsuit. Karan also claimed he tried but was unable to contact Phypers for the past six months. The pair originally rented the almost 7,000-square-foot home for a hefty $12,000 a month in 2020, plunking down $23,000 for a security deposit. The 54-year-old ex-wife of Hollywood hellion…

DEATH EDITION: You can be declared dead in one state but considered alive in others. Brain-dead people in New York and New Jersey are considered still living if declaring them deceased goes against their families’ religious beliefs. One of the first visible signs of death is when the eyes cloud over, indicating oxygen has stopped flowing to the corneas. Dead bodies can move — as rigor mortis sets in, corpses can twitch. But they can’t sit up like they do in horror movies. Gases produced by pregnant women’s bodies as they decompose can cause their fetuses to be expelled posthumously, a phenomenon known as “coffin birth.” You can be buried in your own backyard in many places — most states have no laws prohibiting it.…

KEITH URBAN is reportedly having major regrets about his split from Nicole Kidman, but her friends are urging her not to let him worm his way back into her life as she’s doing much better without him! But despite being put through hell during their marriage, the 58-year-old Babygirl star still has a soft spot for the country crooner, insiders say. “Nicole has been putting on a brave face, but everyone close to her knows she still loves Keith and misses him,” says a source who adds that she’s heard he’s been telling mutual friends he wouldn’t mind giving the marriage another go. “He’s done a real 180 the last few weeks and has started saying how much he regrets the breakup,” the source dishes. “Her friends are terrified she’s…

BEYONCÉ doesn’t have to be jealous of rival TAYLOR SWIFT anymore – the 44-year-old Cowboy Carter songbird’s now a billionaire, too. (Hubby JAY-Z hit that money milestone in 2019.) Other singers with billionaire bank accounts include RIHANNA and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. Congrats to Queen Bey. Global superstar BAD BUNNY, who triggered rightwing fury over his upcoming Super Bowl halftime gig due to his stance against PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’s immigration policies, is in hot water again. The 31-year-old Bunny got Mexican museum officials hoppin’ mad for touching an exhibit of ancient Mayan slabs. Bigwigs went bananas when they saw a pic of the rapper with his hand on the stone. Security warned him and Bunny “immediately removed his hand from the artwork,” says a source. Former U.S. senator from Colorado BEN NIGHTHORSE…

A SHOCKING new investigation into two of the nation’s most notorious unsolved murder cases offers the explosive conclusion that the decades-apart carnage was the work of the same bloodthirsty monster! Dogged investigator Alex Baber, who says his focus and dedication come from his autism diagnosis, tirelessly combined advanced AI technology, census records and cryptology to narrow down 71 million possibilities to one man — Marvin Margolis. Baber says Margolis is the killer who escaped justice for both the 1947 butchering of starlet Elizabeth Short and the Zodiac killing spree, which brutally snuffed out the lives of at least five victims in Northern California two decades later. Baber cross-checked witness accounts, military records, census information and other public records to come to his shocking conclusion. “This took me nine months of…

A 12-YEAR-OLD Squid Game fan died trying to recreate a stunt from the popular South Korean series. Sebastian Cizman was found lying motionless with a sheet around his neck during a party celebrating his younger brother’s First Communion last June. Cizman, who lived in the town of Glasshoughton in northern England, was a huge fan of the Netflix show about people competing in deadly versions of children’s games to win cash prizes. It’s believed he was attempting a dangerous trick that involves choking yourself until you lose consciousness. Police found an image on his phone of a character who’d been found hanged to death. His devastated parents said they’d warned him about imitating Squid Game challenges, which have claimed the lives of numerous people around the world, and he assured…

ED SHEERAN The 34-year-old learned of his dear friend Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce the same way the rest of the world did. Explaining that she scrolled through her texts to notify her loved ones, Taylor told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that she neglected to inform Ed because he wasn’t in her contacts. “You have to email him, and if you want to Face-Time him, he has to find an iPad. They have to give it to him like he’s a child that you give the iPad to,” joked the 35-year-old, adding that she was devastated when she realized she hadn’t told her pal. “When the news came out, I was like, ‘Oh, my God! We forgot to call Ed!’” MICHAEL CERA An early experience with a friend…
