BELOVED fitness guru Richard Simmons is under the influence of a powerful voodoo spell and being kept in his Hollywood Hills home, friends fear. Sources say the “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” star mysteriously “vanished” from public view two years ago. His former assistant, Mauro Oliviera, 49, says when he last saw Richard, 67, in April 2014, the star complained his longtime live-in housekeeper, Teresa Reveles, was using black magic to control him. “He said, ‘You’ve gotta go. We’re never going to see each other again,’” says Mauro. He claims the Mexican maid is using witchcraft to keep Richard under her spell! “Black magic, witchcraft — to my culture in Brazil and to Mexicans — that is a real thing,” says Mauro. “They invoke the spirits. “They light black candles and…

Medical news YOU can use! INCREDIBLE breakthrough drugs could soon offer a powerful one-two punch to knock out breast cancer in less than two weeks! So far, the generic medications lapatinib and trastuzumab have produced remarkable results for women battling a protein-based cancer strain known as HER2-positive. In a recent study, a combination of the drugs was found to either completely eradicate or significantly shrink breast cancer tumors within 11 days of treatment! “This allows us to identify a group of patients who, within 11 days, have had their tumors disappear with anti-HER2 therapy alone and who potentially may not require subsequent chemotherapy,” says study leader Professor Nigel Bundred. “This offers the opportunity to tailor treatment for each individual woman.” In the study, 257 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer were…

OL’ Blue Eyes’ sad son Frank Sinatra Jr. was hiding heartbreaking secrets — including a terror of being alone — when he suddenly keeled over from a massive heart attack. Triggered by his shocking 1963 kidnapping, crippling loneliness haunted Frank Jr., until he died on March 16 in Daytona Beach, Fla., where he was scheduled to sing. The 72-year-old, who was the spitting image of his famous father, was also tormented by feelings his dad had abandoned him. “Frank Jr. lived a very tortured life,” says an insider. “I hope he’s finally at peace now.” Adds a pal: “It was only in the last few years of his old man’s life that they had any relationship at all — and that wasn’t much.” Junior’s most traumatic moment came when he…

BECKY HERBST STAYING AT GH AFTER protracted negotiations (during which insiders report she was being considered for the role of Abigail on “Days of Our Lives”), “General Hospital” vet Rebecca Herbst has signed a new, multiyear deal to continue playing Liz, a role she originated in 1997. “It was different having such a public negotiation,” she admits. “It was the most stressful negotiation I have probably ever been through. I feel totally relieved and I definitely feel like I’ve made the right decision, so I’m at peace with everything that’s happened.” NANCY GRAHN TELLS ALL !

SILVER screen siren JOAN CRAWFORD looks like the perfect mom reading a story to 5-year-old adopted daughter CHRISTINA in this perfectly staged 1944 photo. But the smiles were gone in 1977 when Joan died and Christina learned the star had cut her and adopted brother Christopher out of her will and $2 million fortune. A year later, Christina branded Joan as a cruel and manipulative mother from hell in her book “Mommie Dearest,” later made into a movie. The book’s title has since become part of the language, meaning an abusive mother.…

POP icon Toni Tennille blind sided her hubby and partner Daryl “Captain” Dragon with a divorce two years ago, and now she’s betraying him again by slamming the ailing musician as a lousy lover with buggy eyeballs in her new memoir. Sources say Daryl, the 73-year-old Captain & Tennille star, has turned into a heartbroken recluse as he lays low in his Arizona home plagued by crippling tremors from a Parkinson’s-like nerve condition. And the trashing he gets from his ex-wife in the April 1 release of her book, “Toni Tennille: A Memoir,” is expected to plunge him into a deeper funk. “He’s turned into a recluse and won’t speak with me,” says his brother Dennis, 69, who engineered the first “Captain & Tennille” super hit, “Love Will Keep Us…

WENDY WILLIAMS CAUGHT IN ACT Daytime diva WENDY WILLIAMS has a warning for you: “If you walk in on me and my husband, you’re gonna get a surprise!” Just ask son KEVIN HUNTER JR., who learned his lesson the hard way. “He walked in on me giving my husband a favor, at 2 o’clock in the morning,” Wendy tells CONAN O’BRIEN. “He didn’t hear anything, and he saw the TV. And then he looked, and what do you think we did? Continued!” The next morning, she says, “He was going out with some of his friends and usually, we leave the house with a hug and a kiss. We hugged, but he wouldn’t kiss me.” Gee, wonder why? KATY MEETS ORLANDO’S MOM It’s a big leap for any relationship! British…

WHATTA bunch of buttheads! Slim, trim and glamorous celebrities are hauling in millions hawking books and videos promoting exercise and healthy eating — and then turn around and smoke cigarettes! As these GLOBE photos show, gorgeous actresses, singers and models like Kate Hudson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Spice Girl Mel B and Kate Beckinsale are parading their washboard abs and toned legs in public — while hiding the age-old slimming secret of puffing in private. Kate Hudson, 36, just finished a tour of Europe and the U.S. to promote her book “Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways To Love Your Body,” but there’s no chapter about smoking, a habit the mom of two claims to have quit in 2009. Then there’s Kate Beckinsale, 42, such a devotee of yoga that she gave a class…

A TOUGH Texas judge put Ivy Ray Eberhardt in prison FOR LIFE after his 10th drunkdriving conviction! “Part of my job is to protect the citizens of Parker County,” Judge Craig Towson said during the sentencing. “And the only way I can think of to do that from somebody that has 12 DWI arrests and 10 DWI convictions is to put you in a place that you can’t drive for as long as I possibly can.” Eberhardt was nailed by an off-duty officer in April 2014 for reckless and aggressive driving after he was spotted swerving on a Fort Worth highway. When stopped, he came right out and told the lawman he’d drank half a pint of whiskey! When police searched his car, they found four bottles inside! Three were…

A NEW HEART RISK FOUND THE good type of cholesterol might be just as harmful as the bad! HDL foods, such as olive oil and fatty fish, are associated with lower heart risks since it usually fights off the artery-clogging effects of the bad LDL cholesterol. But for some patients, high HDL levels can actually lead to heart attacks! A rare genetic mutation causing the body to have high levels of HDL can lead to a higher heart risk — akin to smoking, say scientists. “This is one of the first studies to show that some people that have high levels of good cholesterol actually have a higher risk of heart disease, so it challenges our conventional wisdom about whether good cholesterol is protecting people from heart disease or not,”…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE GLOBE columnist Jeff Rodack tells it like it is about celebrities — how they get under his skin with their stupid antics and the nonsense they try to put over on the public. Here is his unique take on Hollywood newsmakers and fakers. I FIRED up my PC after just finishing cereal and downing a glass of orange juice. I quickly checked in with my friends at radaronline.com to see what was happening in the world of entertainment. And then it hit me — a video of Brucie “Caitlyn” Jenner taking a bubble bath. My eyes!

AN UGLY new feud has exploded between Michael Jackson’s three children and their greedy kin, who want a slice of the proceeds from the sale of his record business, sources say. Although part of a $750 million windfall from Sony records will pay off the Jackson estate’s remaining debt, insiders say the deal will ultimately be worth $1 billion for Michael’s kids Prince, 19, Paris, 18, and Blanket, 14. However, some of Michael’s sour-grapes siblings are battling for a piece of the pie, sources say. “To no one’s surprise, the family is already at war over the money,” says an insider. “And it’s getting ugly. “At least two of Michael brothers believe they are entitled to some of the cash. They maintain they are responsible for launching Michael’s career and…

HUMILIATED at losing the Crown to his popular son Prince William, bitter Prince Charles launched a scathing attack on dying Queen Elizabeth! Goaded by his evil wife, Camilla, 68, he charged his mother’s decision to prevent him becoming King was proof she was losing her marbles and unfit to rule! And adding insult to injury, he branded Her Majesty a remote cold fish, who always cared more for her horses and dogs than her kids! “Charles’ outburst came in a private meeting with senior courtiers, and it was stunning,” says a royal insider. “It’s no secret he’s not close to his mother, but his verbal assault sent shock waves through the palace. “Camilla was by his side and did nothing to stop him! In fact, she looked positively pleased! It…

MATERIAL Mom MADONNA’s crushing custody battle with ex GUY RITCHIE over their 15-year-old son, ROCCO, has turned into an epic meltdown! Fueled by booze and prescription medication, the 57-year-old singer literally turned into a sobbing clown as she crawled around the stage in Melbourne, Australia, dressed in a circus costume! After grabbing a fan’s flask and taking a big swig, she revealed she “messed up” her own songs and begged: “Please, someone f*** me,” according to eyewitnesses. “Madonna seems to like her antipsych meds,” reveals an insider, who says the songbird is particularly fond of Clonazepam, used to treat panic disorders. But the med has some scary side effects, including paranoia, suicidal thoughts and physical and intellectual impairment. The manufacturer also warns mixing the drug with alcohol could be FATAL.…
