PANIC IN HOLLYWOOD!

HOLLYWOOD is quaking with fear following the arrests of five suspects linked to the overdose death of Friends star Matthew Perry as panic spreads the industry’s dirtiest secrets are about to be ripped open and the busts will be just the tip of the iceberg.

The 54-year-old sitcom superstar kept telling folks he was clean while he was secretly shooting up ketamine — an ER anesthetic that can be dangerous when not taken in a medical setting. Perry report edly took repeated doses on the day he was found dead, face down in his Pacific Pali sades home’s hot tub last October.

Now five people — including two doctors — have been charged in his tragic death, with the key suspect identified as Jasveen Sangha, a 41-yearold accused dealer known as “The Ketamine Queen,” according to the Department of Justice.

Sangha’s Aug. 15 arrest has Hollywood reeling, with many biggies fearing she could name names and spill the beans on a who’s who of showbiz druggies, and may cut a deal to save her skin.

“She may name anyone connected to her, anyone who supplied to her or she supplied to,” notes former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.

“Hollywood celebrities should be quaking in their boots. Anyone who has anything to do with Jasveen Sangha should be really concerned right now.”
