SPACEY ROCKED BY NEW SEX CLAIMS
The Usual Suspects star KEVIN SPACEY has again been clobbered by claims of sexual assault by three dudes in a civil suit that will be tried in London next October. According to RUARI CANNON, the 66-year-old American Beauty star groped him at a 2013 afterparty at London’s famed Old Vic theater where Spacey had served as artistic director.
The star reportedly denied the charge, slamming it as ridiculous and it never happened.” But another man, identified as “LNP,” claims the actor “deliberately assaulted” him about a dozen times between 2000 and 2005 and a third guy, called “GHI” in court documents, insists Spacey attacked him at the Old Vic in 2008.
Spacey has long denied any wrongdoing, but his once-thriving career and fortune have taken a nosedive since 2017, when he was accused by at least eight men of sex attacks or harassment. While he was found not liable in a New York civil suit in 2022 and acquitted in a criminal sexual assault case in London in 2023, Spacey recently admitted he’s lost his Maryland home to pay his legal bills and is forced to live in hotels.
BACKSTREET BOY TOSSES SANDY FIT
You’d think Backstreet Boys crooner BRIAN LITTRELL was one of the Beach Boys for his constant tiffs with sunbathers who he claims are illegally enjoying the “private” sands and surf behind his $3.8 million Florida mansion on Santa Rosa Beach. In the latest kerfuffle, Brian, 50, has smacked his 67-year-old neighbor CAROLYN HILL with a lawsuit for trespassing and swearing at his property manager.
According to Florida law, the wet sands below the high-water mark are public while the dry section above can be private. Brian and wife LEIGHANNE LITTRELL have been dickering with so-called trespassers since scooping up the three-bedroom villa in 2023, and at one point some of the sunbathers reportedly accused the property manager of menacing them with a drill.
JEN SHAH SPRUNG FROM THE SLAMMER
Real Housewives crook JEN SHAH will be celebrating Christmas with her loved ones after a judge sprung the fraudster from the slammer early. The 52-year-old glamour-puss of the Salt Lake City branch of the reality series was originally tossed behind bars in February 2023 to serve six and a half years for running a fraudulent nationwide telemarketing scheme that screwed a slew of victims, many of them elderly. But thanks to sentence reductions, she’s ended up serving less than three years.
Her manager CHRIS GIOVANNI says the convict considers the break a “gift she doesn’t take for granted” and insists Jen, who has begun making restitution payments, is a changed gal. “She’s done a lot of reflecting and real growth ... Her focus is on her family and building a healthier, more grounded life.” Oh yeah!
KILLER GOES APE OVER BANANAS
BRYAN KOHBERGER, who’s serving life for slaughtering four college students with a knife, must think he’s a diva instead of a lowlife scumbag. The 31-year-old murderer whines he’s being harassed by other inmates at his Idaho prison and recently tossed a tantrum “complaining about the type of bananas he’s being served,” says retired detective CHRIS McDONOUGH of the Cold Case Foundation.
“They’re not the kind that he likes. I’m not sure if that means they may have bruises on them, and he doesn’t like that, or if there is a particular type of banana that he likes.
“But he’s complaining about the food he’s getting. The guy is a quadruple killer, and he’s complaining about his bananas. You can’t make this stuff up - right?”
WOLVERINE SNARLS ABOUT A COMEBACK
HUGH JACKMAN has played the altered human Wolverine in 10 flicks starting with 2000’s X-Men and up to last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine so now he’s stopped saying he’ll never do the clawed critter again. “I am never saying ‘never ever again,” he vows. “But I did mean it when I said ‘never’ [the first time], until the day when I changed my mind. But I really did for quite a few years, I meant it.” Now, when asked about reprising the role, Hugh says “maybe.” But he also notes that Marvel Studios has “got enough” film of him that it could just create an Al version.
He joked to one talk show host: “I’ve done your show five or six times, I could be in the dressing room [right now].”
COMEBACKS, WEDDINGS... AND MORE!
Disgraced chatfest star ELLEN DEGENERES blabbed that she and wife PORTIA DE ROSSI were going to stay in England as long as DONALD TRUMP was president, but a year later, the liberal ladies have reportedly changed their minds. “She’s been telling friends they are coming home soon because they miss them and can’t take the winters over there, and Portia wants to act again,” tattles a source. “They will be here for the holidays and longer by the sound of it.” Well, gals are allowed to change their minds, aren’t they?
Jon & Kate Plus 8 star JON GOSSELIN is hoping second time’s a charm following his disastrous and bitter split from first wife KATE GOSSELIN. The 48-year-old tied the knot with 38-year-old former cosmetologist STEPHANIE LEBO in Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 23. The 180 guests included the two of Jon’s eight kids who still speak with him, HANNAH and COLLIN, both 21, and Stephanie’s teen daughter, JULIANA, from her previous marriage.
If MICHELLE OBAMA can go into film production, why can’t MELANIA TRUMP? The current first lady has launched Muse Films and the first production will be out Jan. 30. And surprise, it’s a doc titled Melania. Bet there’ll be guest appearances by her prez hubby and their son, BARRON TRUMP.
