The parts of Maleficent we actually enjoyed were when Angelina Jolie went full villain. The rest, not to much. Specifically, we weren't fans of the odd, slapstick pixies whose backstory has been fleshed out in these recently released Maleficent deleted scenes.These deleted scenes are from the soon-to-be released Maleficent DVD (Nov. 4th). What they reveal is more Angelina Jolie in full mischievous fairy mode and the tiny pixies being big creeps. Apparently they sent in random guys from the castle to kiss Sleeping Beauty while she was asleep. Weird.

On Angelina: “Angelina Jolie and I, we're not friends, but when I called her about my human trafficking endeavors, she went all in. And I really appreciated that because there are not a lot of times that you can call upon people in our business and get serious help. She put me in contact with the people I needed to be in contact with, she sent me books, sent me all the information she had. I'm not saying that Angelina and I are, like, girlfriends and kicking it every day, but when you call another woman who's in a position to lend support to you and she just jumps right in there—that's sisterhood.” (...)

They've been enjoying a lengthy family honeymoon since tying the knot in a private ceremony in the South of France last month.And Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been planning plenty of fun-filled days out to keep their six children entertained during their stay on the island of Malta.The Jolie-Pitt clan squeezed in a boat trip on Thursday in between filming for their new drama By The Sea.It seems the gang were set for a low-key time at sea, with Brad opting for an eye-catching orange fedora and a leather jacket.Angelina covered up in a simple all-black outfit, comprising a long-sleeved top and a maxi skirt, which she teamed with ballet flats.The children - Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox - looked excited about their outing as they clambered on board the boat.The A-list actors, who met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, are famously hands-on parents and ensured their children took centre stage at their wedding.Angelina let her kids decorate her wedding dress, walking down the aisle in a gorgeous white satin gown and long veil that featured colourful hand-drawn doodles.She told HELLO!: 'I wanted the kids to be a part of everything including the dress because that's our family; that represents the way we live our life together.'The couple eschewed recorded music and instead Angelina entered to Here Comes The Bride hummed by Brad, the children and the 20-odd guests.Sons Maddox and Pax proudly walked their mother down the aisle, while Zahara and Vivienne tossed petals as they lined the path, and Shiloh and Knox acted as joint ring bearers.Brad and Angelina have barely taken a break since the August 23 ceremony on the grounds of their sprawling Château Miraval estate.They have already begun work on their new film By The Sea, which will see them re-unite on screen for the second time.The area is in lockdown after the couple paid local businesses to close up shop to provide them with complete privacy as they start filming.They have also reportedly rented out 12 villas around Mgarr ix-Xini Bay for everyone who is working on the movie, setting them back a cool $230,000.

'Angelina Jolie effect' on breast cancer screening endures

The "Angelina Jolie effect" on referrals for genetic counselling for breast cancer risks was immediate and long-lasting, a new U.K. study suggests.The Hollywood celebrity announced her decision to be tested for the cancer-linked BRCA1 gene and subsequent double mastectomy, to reduce her risk of breast and ovarian cancer because of her family history, in May 2013. The announcement fuelled publicity about breast screening.In Thursday’s issue of the journal Breast Cancer Research, British investigators say referrals first increased by 2.5 times and remained around nearly double their previous levels through October."The Angelina Jolie effect has been long-lasting and global, and appears to have increased referrals to centres appropriately," Gareth Evans, a professor of clinical genetics at Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention in Manchester and his co-authors concluded.There were concerns the increase in appointments for screening after Jolie’s announcement might have been from "worried well" patients coming back for another test. But Evans said, in fact, many were women who were already overdue for screening. Similarly, researchers in Toronto told a breast cancer conference earlier this month that the effect seemed to increase awareness and referrals for women who were truly at high risk for hereditary breast cancer.The U.K. researchers pointed to other examples of female celebrities who spurred increased use of health resources, such as higher colonoscopy rates after Katie Couric’s colorectal cancer awareness campaign on The Today Show in 2000 and Kylie Minogue’s breast cancer diagnosis in Australia.Jolie’s announcement likely had a bigger impact than other celebrity announcements "possibly due to her glamorous image and relationship to Brad Pitt. This may have lessened patients’ fears about a loss of sexual identity, post preventative surgery, and encouraged those who had not previously engaged with health services to consider genetic testing."They concluded that education of the general public is important in increasing awareness of, and improving access to, familial cancer services.
