FIGHTING for life with every breath, iconic 1960’s sex kitten Brigitte Bardot is settling old scores by dishing dirt on her showbiz enemies and spilling the tea on sizzling trysts with A-list stars — including Marilyn Monroe, insiders say.

France’s 88-year-old movie legend, bedbound since emergency services rushed to her St. Tropez home July 19 due to breathing problems, “has quite the revenge tell-all that she’s kept silent about until now — but Bardot’s talking about it to people who come to visit her,” spills an insider.“ Brigitte is still very weak and can’t walk around, but she can sure talk! She’s had brushes with royalty, met presidents and all the famous rock ’n’ rollers, and had lusty stars throwing themselves at her.

The And God Created Woman star is blabbing stories of her steamy affairs with Sean Connery, Warren Beatty, Jimi Hendrix, Glenn Ford and others. There was also her very risqué relationship with director Roger Vadim, who she met at 15 and became her first of four husbands when she was 18. “One racy tale she loves to tell is when Marilyn Monroe tried to seduce her in the ladies restroom at a reception for Queen Elizabeth,” notes the insider. The love goddess, who was fined six times for inciting racial hatred in her later years, nearly cashed in her chips at 9am July 19 when her husband of 31 years, Bernard d’Ormale called for help revealing, “Brigitte had trouble breathing.” Paramedics put her on oxygen, “and stayed to watch her” for a while, says d’Ormale, 82. Like all people of certain age, she cane no longer bear the heat.

But that hasn’t stopped her from spilling the beans about her scandalous past as she recovers, says a source.

“She used to be quite reserved about her sordid past, but the people who she’s telling now are bound to put it our there one day, or she may give an interview or release a book,” spills the snitch.

Given her recent collapse she may decide to go public sooner rather than later.

TONY BENNETT

SINGING icon Tony Bennett went to his grave haunted by the bitterness of second ex-wife Sandra Grant, who insiders say never forgave him for dumping her for a way younger woman. The I Left My Heart in San Francisco crooner died suffering from Alzheimer’s at age 96 on July 21, while wed to third wife Susan Crow, 56, young enough to be his granddaughter. By that time, “I had very little feeling for him anymore,” says Sandra. Spills a source, “Tony was astonished Sandra’s anger toward him never went away. She apparently never forgave him!” Ironically, starlet Sandra, now 83, met and fell for Tony when he was making the film “The Oscar” in 1965 — and was still married to first wife Patricia Beech, mother of his sons, Danny and Dae.

They divorced in 1971, and he immediately wed Sandra, who’d given birth to his daughter Joanna the year before while he was still wed to Patricia. They also welcomed daughter Antonia in 1974 and remained wed for 12 years. “Once we had the children, I couldn’t travel with him much, which irritated him,” Sandra recalls. And I became very concerned about his drug taking. She saved his life by reviving him after he’d overdosed in a bathtub, devastated by the 1977 death of his beloved mom and having barely any work. Sandra blasted Bennett for letting their family home be sold out from under their back taxes leaving his daughters and her nowhere else to live. She later called him an “old fool” for hooking up with Susan when their divorce was final! “The Tony I knew is not the same smiley Mr. Nice Guy the world knows,” says Sandra.
