LOVESTRUCK Hugh Jackman is desperate to take the next step with Sutton Foster, but her divorce from Ted Griffin is dragging on and sources say it’s causing trouble in paradise! As GLOBE previously revealed, the besotted Broadway star, 56, is ready to get down on one knee and propose to his new ladylove after they fell for each other while starring in The Music Man on the Great White Way. He ruthlessly ditched his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, 69 — with whom he coraises two adopted kids — to start a new life with Sutton, 50. She has already moved into his New York City home. But while his divorce wrapped up fairly quickly, the same cannot be said for hers. Sutton is still legally wed to screenwriter…

BOILING Britney Spears isn’t the only one up in arms over ex-hubby Kevin Federline’s upcoming tell-all — now another of her exes, Sam Asghari, is getting into the axgrinding act! “It would be the first book that’ll tell you how to be a professional father,” Sam, 31, said in a televised interview — implying that Kev can boast about his parenting skills only because he was paid so handsomely from the divorce settlement to sit around on his butt. Britney, 43, and Kevin, 47, share sons Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18, but the former backup dancer has had majority custody of the boys since October 2007. Now that both kids have reached legal age, the $20,000 monthly support payments from Britney have stopped — but that’s after she paid Federline…

THE sell-off of wobbly, woke MSNBC by parent company NBC has left staffers in a widespread panic, with insiders saying the newsgroup’s freaked workforce fears they’re on a sinking ship! “People are terrified that without NBC behind it, this whole venture will be a flop!” says one insider. “People aren’t just worried about their jobs — they’re convinced the whole network will collapse.” The downward-spiraling news org — home to liberal loudmouths Rachel Maddow, Mika and Joe and former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki — was sold off by NBC News after a year of falling ratings and the layoff of overpaid, underperforming talent. Now it is forced to move forward without the resources and deep pockets of NBC News to keep it afloat! “People feel like they’re going…

BLOWHARD Jake Tapper is in the firing line after a humiliating hot mic moment when the cantankerous CNN talking head berated his own producers for cutting away from his on-location live shot to the studio, sources tell GLOBE. In the embarrassing incident, a testy Tapper, 56, was broadcasting live from President Donald Trump’s Aug. 15 summit in Alaska with Russian despot Vladimir Putin. When producers cut away from his live coverage in Anchorage, he fumed to his studio colleagues, “just give me my show back,” a snarky remark that accidentally made it on air. “Tapper’s outburst was so unprofessional — but extremely telling,” confides one network insider. “He’s been PO’d since getting booted from prime time after the 2022 midterm elections and denied a raise last year.” The Lead With…

WORKAHOLIC Sarah Jessica Parker is chomping at the bit looking for new projects now that her TV series And Just Like That has ended, say insiders who add that pals are urging her to instead spend time strengthening her 28-year marriage to her hubby, Matthew Broderick. The 60-year-old actress and Matthew, 63, plunked down nearly $35 million for fancy digs in NYC’s West Village in 2016, but also have a cozy three-bedroom bungalow in Amagansett in the ritzy Hamptons, where he likes to chill after winning two Tonys and starring in a string of Broadway hits like The Producers and Plaza Suite. “He’s a workhorse but he treasures his downtime and his lazy summers on the beach, even more so as he gets older,” tattles a source. “When it comes…

ACTRESS Sarah Jessica Parker has slammed back at viewers who shredded her just-axed series, And Just Like That, and its ending, basically telling the haters she doesn’t give a damn! “I guess I don’t really care,” says the 60-year-old star. “And the reason I don’t care is because it has been so enormously successful, and the connections it has made with audiences have been very meaningful.” SJP starred as husband-hunting Carrie Bradshaw over 27 years starting with Sex and the City from 1998 to 2004, two movie sequels and the current HBO series coming to an end after three years. In the final episode, her newspaper sex-columnist character decides it’s OK being single and says, “The woman realized she was not alone — she was on her own.” Disappointed viewers…
