Angelina Adopts Again

Forget Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie has a new special someone in her life: a daughter.

If all goes according to plan, the Oscar winner and all-around do-gooder will by week's end finalize the adoption of an Ethiopian orphan whose parents were killed by AIDS.

1. She has a great heart.

And wonderful lips, I might add.

[CitrusLib]

16. But dang, she's made some dog movies!

Did anyone actually like 'Beyond Borders'? Gag. Even Eye Candy like Clive Owens didn't make that one watchable.

[Shell Beau]

30. She's had some good ones too!

She was really good in Girl Interrupted.

[truthbetold]

2. Amen!

I adore her too. I don't know if all those rumors about her and Brad Pitt are true, so I won't hold them against her. The media loves to make things up (as we all know here).

[TrogL]

17. I'd hold her against me

[Shell Beau]

3. I admire her charity and love she gives, but

IF she was part of an extra-marital affair, that I can't admire.

edit- that is IF (of course I do not know and therefore try not to judge)

[xultar]

7. I don't think they had an sexual affair I do believe Pitt was mesmorized

by her. I bet his constant talking about her is what caused the riff.
Her work for the UN, her son, work in Africa, etc.

[Shell Beau]

9. You may be right. We'll probably never know!

Aniston is supposedly going to tell her side to Vanity Fair b/c she has been so hurt at Pitt for all this Jolie stuff. They "supposedly" made an agreement not to date for 6 months! Who knows?

On edit, I don't put it past Jolie to do it though. She married Bill Bob while he was already engaged to another woman (Laura Dern)

[no name no slogan]

23. That's a toughie

as somebody currently going thru a divorce, I can somewhat relate (although our breakup doesn't involve sexual infidelity, AFAIK).

It takes two people to get married, and it also takes two people to screw it up, too. Brad may have had some goofy relationship with Angelina, but he must have done it for a reason-- something may not have been right at home if he had to seek solace elsewhere.

Either that or he's a two-timing, no-good, durn galoot who fscked up a good thing.

[Shell Beau]

27. Maybe! Who knows!

I did love them as a couple though and I wanted them to stay together, but oh well!

[no name no slogan]

38. Yeah, they were nice

and I still have the hots for Jennifer Aniston, too.

But that Angeline Jolie could dust my broom any ol' day. ROWR!

[LibraLiz1973]

35. Jolie has come out and said that because of her childhood

and what her father did to her mother that she would NEVER EVER EVER compromise her principals by sleeping with a married man.

For what its worth, I believe her. She's always been the type to speak her mind- no matter how badly it may have affected her later.

I agree with whoever posted that their was an attraction and Brad became was enchanted by her.

[LynneSin]

41. Yes, but this is Hollywood, marriages aren't expected to last more than...

...a few years.

If she broke up a regular couple, I'd be upset too. But Hollywood loves the soap operas for their stars. Just another day with the Jennifer-Brad-Angelina thing

[xultar]

4. I like Jolie cuz she isn't plastic. She's had a great influence on Pitt.

They will do great charity work to together.

[Shell Beau]

6. I am sad though because I loved He and Aniston as a couple!

But I am not sad at the charitable work he has done!

[maxsolomon]

5. her heart is the only thing natural on her

but, good for her. that's a lucky kid.

and if she fucks brad pitt sideways, good for her. y'all just jealous.

[ClintonTyree]

11. What?

What else isn't natural? She doesn't have fake boobs, no plastic surgery, known anyway. She walks to the beat of a different drummer but as far as the body goes, that's all her.

[Shell Beau]

13. Maybe they meant all of the tatoos!

[maxsolomon]

34. no - i meant she's plastic surgerized

nearly every american starlet is to a degree.

chemical peels
breast enhancements
brow sculpting
lip injections

if you want to believe that's all real, its your choice.

[smirkymonkey]

40. She's a very pretty woman, but there is something about her

look that seems kind of artificial. I can't quite put my finger on it, but she just doesn't look real.

[maxsolomon]

42. billy bob knows what it is

just like lyle knows what julia robert's secret is.

[progmom]

8. yep - she's an amazing advocate for refugee rights

I became an instant fan when I read about her work. Still don't generally dig her movies, but she has my support as a human being.

[redqueen]

10. I think it's fantastic...

Her wanting to adopt is why that old guy dumped her, btw.

[CatWoman]

12. who, Billy Bob Thornton?

[redqueen]

14. Yup

Said he'd already had kids... didn't want more.

I think she made a wise decision.

[XemaSab]

19. What, trading Billy Bob for Brad Pitt?

I don't understand where you're coming from on this.

[redqueen]

20. No... choosing her child over Billy Bob. n/t

[XemaSab]

29. What, trading Billy Bob for Brad Pitt and her child?

Why do you hate Billy Bob?

[Shell Beau]

31. In case you aren't kidding...

Billy Bob didn't have anything to do with the child they adopted together. That was a couple of years ago. This Brad thing just happened this year.

[XemaSab]

32. I'm totally kidding

I don't know what she was thinking with Billy Bob. Like, lapse of judgement????

[Shell Beau]

33. I thought you were kidding, but my judgment has sucked today!

And I agree with you 100%

[LibraLiz1973]

36. Billy Bob did in fact have something to do with Maddox

Angelina got involved with the Red Cross & went to do charity work. Met Maddox in an orphanage and felt a connection. Contacted BB and asked if he would be interested in adoption- he said yes. She went ahead with the papers. Original documents show BB's signature & list him as the father.
Papers later finalized listed Jolie as a single parent- because BB ran off on tour with his band and started banging groupies. I think it was great that she didn't put up with it and bailed instead.

Course it must have been a kick in the teeth when about a year later BB got another woman pregnant.

[Shell Beau]

15. He supposedly wanted to also.

I think that was until it actually happened and they were on 2 different pages.

[redqueen]

21. Not what I heard...

I had heard that she wanted to do it, he said no, but she did it anyway. He tried to hang for a while, then split.

Who knows...

[Shell Beau]

25. Well he is a good actor, but as far as anything else

goes.... I never knew what she saw in him anyway. Of course I don't know him though!

[Misunderestimator]

18. I couldn't agree more...

[CatWoman]

24. which is why you will always see me jump to Mia Farrow's defense

[Misunderestimator]

26. Love her too!

[Shell Beau]

28. Mia Farrow had the worst. Could you imagine your

hubby leaving you for your child and you lost them both? That is rough!

On edit: Mia Farrow did so wonderful by adopting her children. What a true hero!

[In_The_Wind]

22. Angelina Jolie is so totally HOT

she's one awesome lady

[Iris]

37. Angelina Jolie is a dumb ass. n/t

[CatWoman]

39. and what do you base that opinion on?

what exactly makes her a "dumb ass"?

I'll wait patiently for you to prove that dumb ass statement.
