Adam Levine has satisfied his primal appetites

- DOUG CAMILLI tellcamill­i@gmail.com

Adam Levine dated many top models before getting engaged to yet another, Behati Prinsloo. Now he tells GQ he’s no longer a skirt-chasing creep.

Back in the day, he says, “all of a sudden, I had money in my bank account. … And I went a little (bad word) nuts. … And I had the time of my life.

“Men are not as sophistica­ted as women … not as mature as women. … There’s the carnal (rude word) you can’t deny.

“I lived probably a bit more on the primal level. … That was kind of the foundation of all the negative (publicity) I still get.”

However, he adds, “People change; people grow up, get more selfaware.”

He’ll marry Prinsloo July 19. He’s 35. She’s 25.

Olivia Wilde didn’t like GQ’s review of her movie Third Person, in which her youthful character has a fling with wrinkly Liam Neeson.

“She’s supposed to be a writer too,” reviewer Tom Carson wrote, “but your belief in that won’t outlast Wilde scampering naked through hotel corridors once Neeson playfully locks her out of his room. With that tush, who’d need to be literate? Who’d want to?”

So hot babes can’t be literate? I wonder what Carson’s spouse thought of that.

We already know what Olivia thought, thanks to Twitter: “HA. Kiss my smart ass, GQ.”

She’s 30. Neeson is 62.

Ed Sheeran, who opened for Taylor Swift on tour last year, says “she’s a sort of middle-aged woman trapped in a 24-year-old’s body.”

Speaking in an MTV documentar­y about himself, Ed offers this evidence: “She hangs out with her cat and sews things.”

He’s 23.

Spotlight couple: Singer Lana Del Rey dumped rocker Barrie-James O’Neill because she’s seeing

Vogue photograph­er Francesco Carrozzini, says the N.Y. Daily News.

O’Neill hasn’t given up, telling TMZ.com he and Lana remain together, and the Carrozzini business is “just (for the) papers, man, she’s got an album (to sell).”

Francesco previously dated Katherine Keating, daughter of former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating.

Meanwhile, Lana’s album Ultraviole­nce tops the Billboard 200 chart.

Madonna’s first-born, Lourdes Ciccone Leon, begins classes this fall in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance at the University of Michigan. Madge, you may recall, was born in Michigan and went to U of M on a dance scholarshi­p.

And how sad is this: Madonna went home from Lourdes’s high school graduation ceremony (at New York’s Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts) the other day and posted some post-workout selfies.

Lourdes is 17. Madonna’s 55.

That’s clear, then: After Star mag said Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan were about to divorce, the couple said this:

“It’s disappoint­ing to see another example of Star magazine using outright lies … and trying to pass it off as journalism. Their current delusional cover couldn’t be further from the truth.”
