She’s totally unapologetic and convinced this will be a launchpad for a whole new musical chapter,” an insider says of the emotional song Wreckage of You. “If it upsets Ben, then all the better, after the hell he put her through.

AGED screen icon Michael Douglas has retired from movies, giving him more time with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, but insiders say the Chicago Oscar-winning actress really craves space and finds her hubby’s neediness suffocating. Sources snitch that the 80-year-old Basic Instinct star’s constant clinging is putting a strain on their marriage just a few months ahead of their 25-year wedding anniversary. “The marriage has worked best when they had space from each other,” notes an insider. “At one point they were living in separate houses in Connecticut and Catherine loved having her freedom. “She’s not begrudging him the right to give up his career, but knows it means they’ll spend more time together and she’s not going to get the quiet and peace of mind she likes.

FORMER trainwreck Charlie Sheen has had no time for exwife Denise Richards’ husband Aaron Phypers while also having major beefs with her, but now that she’s divorcing, insiders say the former Two and a Half Men star is rubbing salt in her wounds. “Charlie was never a fan of Aaron and thought the guy was smug and a leech,” dishes an insider. “But he also hasn’t got a lot of sympathy for Denise — they’ve had some contentious fights over the years. And she hasn’t been there much for Charlie during his darkest days. “Now she’s dealing with this guy who is going to take her to the cleaners, and Charlie can say, ‘I told you so.’ ” As GLOBE has reported, Charlie and Denise’s breakup was messy, with her…

NEWLY single Dakota Johnson is so busy mingling on a girls’ trip aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean with Kate Hudson and a few hot guys — including Tom Brady — that she’s completely ignoring her ex Chris Martin’s pleas to take him back. Snitches say the Fifty Shades of Grey alum, 35, is having the time of her life while the Coldplay frontman, 48, struggles to move on. “Chris is absolutely lost without her,” spills an insider. “He didn’t realize how much he depended on Dakota until she walked away. “He’s been trying to call her, sending messages, trying to start things back up, but she’s not really responding the way he’d hoped.
