“Damages” star morning buzz is spirituali­ty. “I wake up and instead of looking at my phone I choose to start with a 15-minute meditation and it really makes a huge difference,” the actress (above) said at the Steven Schwartzbe­rg Foundation’s Who Can Relate campaign at the University of Michigan. “It keeps my life full.” Artist football star

Tgives new meaning to wisecrack. “This show is dedicated to everyone in the ’80s. Everybody that sold crack, everybody that used crack,” he told us at the Cinema Society premiere of his TBS series “The Last O.G” in Brooklyn. “That wiped out a whole generation. Dedicated to all those that get incarcerat­ed for nonviolent crimes that get out and try to get their lives back on track.” The funnyman, who turns 50 in November, was born in the Bronx and raised in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborho­od, near where “The Last O.G.” is set. The “30 Rock” star thanks “Growing up in the right place and the right time” for inspiring his new show. “I know these characters, they’re part of my life,” he said. Morgan, who’s a producer on “The Last O.G.,” said bouncing around show ideas with his wife, has enriched his existence, too.

“Happy wife, happy life!” he said, crediting a former “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” co-star for showing him that business and pleasure mix.

Morgan nearly lost his life in June 2014 when a truck plowed into his limo and left him with a broken leg, nose and ribs. A year later, Morgan gave his first post-accident interview to on “Today” and said he still suffered headaches. Now, he even seems grateful for that experience to some extent.

“I’m gonna leave it at this, I’m not going to talk about that accident no more because if I didn’t get hit by that truck, I wouldn’t be able to make a positive impact on the world that I’m making right now,” he said. Morgan thanks God for his recovery.

They’re back with a new movie, “Best F(r)iends,” which opened this weekend. Sestero (inset) wrote the script and hopes this time they’re taken seriously, but if the movie fails, it may as well fail big again. “Hopefully it’s the secondwors­t movie if we have to do that,” he told us.
