This gives new meaning to the term firecrotch! A London woman claims one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s This Smells Like My Vagina candles “exploded,” causing an “inferno” in her living room. “The whole thing was ablaze, and it was too hot to touch,” says Jody Thompson, whose quick-thinking boyfriend snatched up the wax (which is made with geranium, citrusy bergamot and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with damask rose and ambrette seed) and tossed it out the front door. “I’ve never seen anything like it!” A Goop rep says the candle wasn’t purchased through their site (where it sells for $75), so they “couldn’t verify its authenticity.” But it wouldn’t be the first time someone’s accused Gwyneth, 48, of peddling products that did more harm than good!…

ILL PILLS? Docs slammed these pre-and postnatal vitamins ($90 for a month’s supply) for having too much vitamin A. (They now come with a warning). HOOHA HOOPLA Gynecologists warned that the site’s infamous jade egg ($66) could lead to infection. BAD BUZZ Goop touts bee-sting therapy to reduce inflammation, but doctors caution against it, citing potential allergic reactions. And even Gwyn admits, “It’s painful.” SPACED-OUT Goop promoted Body Vibes’ “bio-frequency stickers,” which were purportedly made of the same material used in space suits. NASA shot down those claims.…

Tristan Thompson’s jump from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics means he doesn’t need his pad in Bratenahl, Ohio, anymore. Khloé Kardashian’s baby daddy, 29, bought the home in 2015 for $1.9 million, so he stands to make a nice profit. The great room, which boasts a fireplace encased in calacatta quartz, opens to a patio overlooking Lake Erie. The house also has an in-law suite with kitchenette, which begs the question: Did Khloé’s mom, Kris Jenner, come and stay?

HUMILIATED CLARE DUMPED BY DALE ALREADY! Maybe she should have stuck the whole season out after all. Clare Crawley, who bailed on The Bachelorette after finding love immediately with Dale Moss, is single again. The former NFL star, 32, announced their split on Instagram on Jan. 19, calling it the “healthiest decision” for them both. “Dale really tried to make it work,” an insider tells In Touch . “It just became clear as they were getting to know each other that they were more different than similar.” The couple got engaged after just two weeks on The Bachelorette , but once they left the secluded La Quinta Resort, reality wasn’t so rosy. “Clare and Dale were dating long distance, and there were trust issues,” the insider admits. Dale was spotted…

Over the years, Larry King was put through the ringer with his health. Yet despite decades of medical issues, he was bursting with gratitude for his charmed life while speaking with In Touch less than two years ago and just three weeks after learning he had chronic leukemia. “I’ve lived through so many things in my life. I pinch myself every day,” the broadcast legend said in March 2019. “Since my heart attack 32 years ago, I’ve [also] had heart surgery, carotid artery surgery, they caught lung cancer — took out 20 percent of the lung. I’ve had almost everything.” Then COVID-19 struck. Despite making it out of the ICU in late December, Larry remained hospitalized and died at 87 on Jan. 23, leaving his three surviving sons “heartbroken,” they…
