Documentary filmmaker Mark Laita first discovered the genetically damaged family living in an 800-people village ironically named Odd and made a 12-minute film titled Inbred Family: The Whittakers. When he first met with the clan, “it was out of control,” recalls Laita. “There’s these people walking around and their eyes are going in different directions and they are barking at us. “And one guy, you’d look at him in the eye or say anything and he would just scream and go running away and his pants would fall around his ankles.” When…

IN A low-handed bid to outshine her former love rival, conniving Queen Camilla has chosen the designer who made the late Princess Diana a fashion icon to create her coronation gown! And that’s sparked a furious backlash from the princess’ sons, William and Harry, who are outraged their evil stepmother is defiling Diana’s memory, say palace sources. “This is Camilla’s ultimate diss at Diana,” fumes a high-level royal courtier. “You’d think she’d be satisfied by stealing Charles and robbing Diana of the throne, but Camilla is driven by her jealous desire to outdo the tragic princess.” Charles’ 75-year-old wife has long been cozying up to British fashion mogul Bruce Oldfield, who once boasted: “I gave Diana her glamour and Camilla her confidence.” And palace sources say crusty Camilla will need…

The best mammograms ✚ DIGITAL breast tomosynthesis (DBT) — also known as a 3D mammogram — is more effective at finding cancer than traditional two-dimensional imaging, according to a new study.

The suit alleged 41-year-old to “humiliation and Meghan “orchestrated the campaign to defame and destroy her sister’s and her father’s reputation and credibility in order to preserve and promote the false ‘rags-to-royalty’ narrative.” Samantha, who shares the same father with the former Suits star, objected to Meghan saying she grew up as an only child, among other slights.
