WEIRD movie witch Angelina Jolie has turned to magic hexes and voodoo spells in her bitter custody and money divorce battle with ex Brad Pitt. Sources say the 43-year-old, who played the evil sorceress Maleficent in the Disney flick, is using magic to ward off the stress of being painted as the bad guy in her ongoing war with Brad, who’s gained the support and sympathy of most of Hollywood. “This is her way of protecting herself against haters,” snitches an insider. “Angie likes to have these quiet moments where she spends time by herself and channels energy.

AMERICAN women are breastfeeding their babies in increasing numbers, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Among tots born in 2004, 73 percent started out breastfeeding. By 2014, that number had risen to 83 percent of newborns. But the agency cautions some women are stopping earlier than recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests exclusively breastfeeding babies for the first six months of life and then continuing until at least the age of one, while supplementing their diets with solid foods. However, a 2014 CDC survey shows only 55 percent of infants are breastfed beyond six months. “Breast milk [is] uniquely tailored to meet the health needs of a growing baby,” says the CDC’s Dr. Ruth Petersen. “It is the clinical gold standard for infant nutrition.”…

MEDICAL experts have nixed the necessity for annual Pap tests to screen women for cervical cancer and say those older than 30 may choose to be tested for HPV every five years instead. While a Pap test checks for the presence of potentially deadly lesions, a primary high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) test checks for the presence of the bug responsible for causing most cases of cervical cancer — the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. The United States Preventive Services Task Force continues to recommend women ages 21 to 29 be checked every three years with Pap smears alone. However, for women from 30 to 65, the USPSTF now suggests a cervical cancer check can be done by running an hrHPV and Pap test combo every 36 months or…

Officials say he worked at the Trawniki Labor Camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1943, the same year an estimated 6,000 Jewish prisoners were shot to death in a single day. “Trawniki was a camp where people were trained to round up and murder the Jews in Poland,” says top Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff.
