Documentary looks at why Japanese parents let young kids walk to school by themselves

Documentary looks at why Japanese parents let young kids walk to school by themselves: Many foreigners in Japan are shocked to see young Japanese schoolchildren walking to and from school by themselves, or even taking the trains or buses alone. While these sights would probably lead to more than a few concerned stares in many countries overseas, they’re perfectly typical scenes in Japan. Australian…



 “Her parents won’t be with her so she has to learn how to solve things herself. If she gets lost or catches the wrong train, she has to figure it out on her own.”



“I think besides the lower crime rate, Japanese communities tend to be a little more collective when it comes to child rearing…I think that many [Japanese] kids if they were lost or in trouble would have very little problems with asking strangers for help, especially elderly people.
USE THINGS,
NOT PEOPLE.
LOVE PEOPLE,
NOT THINGS.

7 Ways to Wear a White T-Shirt

When in doubt, pull your white t-shirt out.



White Tee + Denim

Just like peanut butter and jelly, this classic combo will never get old. Whether you pair them with skinny jeans or vintage Levi’s, this look is sure to get compliments from all types of fashionistas.



White Tee + Leather

Leather can be tough to wear. Pairing bold leather jackets, pants, or skirts with a simple white t-shirt really downplay the look and give it a wearable feel. A white t-shirt breaks down the tough and bold fabric, giving the type of contrast fit for the runway.



White Tee + Summer Dress

Another 90s trend comes back to life. Adding a white shirt under skimpy summer dresses adds definition and allows your summer staples to follow you all year. I like to wear my shortest dresses with white t-shirts to avoid orthodox confusions.



White Tee + Funky Slacks

You know those polka dot slacks you bought from J. Crew last year and you have no idea how to wear? Add a white t-shirt. The board room will thank you for not adding a matching button down, trust us.



White Tee + Girly Mini

Thought that feather mini was only for clubbing? Think again. Your club wardrobe can be dusted off with a white t-shirt. Pairing a loud mini skirt with a white shirt and sneakers is a cool girl hack to Sunday brunch.



White Tee + More White

White on white can be difficult to pull off. It can give you an outdated feel when done incorrectly. Wearing a white t-shirt alongside a white skirt or jeans really modernizes the outfit and gives it an edge.



White Tee + Blazer

Unsure if your client is in a stuffy suit or sweatpants? Wearing a blazer on top of a white t-shirt can give you a universal feeling. Just like a mullet, this look can party or business.

Homemade Salad Dressing, From Super Basic to Extra Fancy

RHODA BOONE 06.23.15

Homemade salad dressing can be as simple as a two ingredient blend or a seven ingredient masterpiece.

2 INGREDIENTS: THE BASICS
To make a bare bones vinaigrette all you need is vinegar (sherry, champagne, balsamic, red, white, or rice wine vinegar) and oil (go with a neutral vegetable oil like grapeseed for a mild base, or your best extra-virgin olive oil for grassier undertones). Traditional vinaigrette recipes call for a ratio of three parts oil to one part vinegar. However, some people—like me—prefer their dressings to pack more punch and choose a 2:1 oil to vinegar ratio. Some vinegars have a higher level of acidity than others, so it's always a good idea to sample your dressing and adjust accordingly.

To make your vinaigrette, whisk a little kosher or fine sea salt into some vinegar until it dissolves. Start with about 1/4 teaspoon salt per tablespoon of vinegar. Keep whisking and slowly drizzle in double the amount of oil as vinegar, then taste. I like to dip a lettuce leaf into the dressing to see how it will taste in my salad instead of tasting it on its own.

If desired, gradually add more oil, tasting incrementally, until you achieve a balance of acidity and fat you enjoy. This two-ingredient dressing will never fully emulsify, but a vigorous whisking will hold it together long enough to dress your salad (just shake or whisk again before serving if you make extra to enjoy throughout the week). Finish the dressing off with some freshly ground black pepper.

A note on citrus: lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juices lend a lovely brightness when subbed in for a portion of the vinegar in a vinaigrette. But, like the name indicates, this dressing has to include vinegar to be considered a true vinaigrette.

3 INGREDIENTS: EMULSIFY WITH MUSTARD
Ready to take your dressing to the next level? Add mustard to your vinaigrette and watch emulsification magic happen. When whisked or blended with mustard, oil and vinegar suddenly synthesize into a smooth and creamy concoction. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon or grainy mustard per tablespoon of vinegar.

4 INGREDIENTS: SWEETEN THE POT
The key to a tasty vinaigrette is striking the right balance between the levels of acid and fat. Incorporating a sweetener like brown or white sugar, honey, agave, maple syrup, or molasses can soften the acidity of the vinegar. Add the salt and your sweetener of choice (a little goes a long way, so start with just a pinch of sugar or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon liquid sweetener for every tablespoon of vinegar), whisk to dissolve in the vinegar, then incorporate the oil. You might not need as much oil because the sweetener will round out the sharpness of the vinegar, which is a bonus for those watching their fat intake.

5 INGREDIENTS: ADD AN ALLIUM
Alliums like garlic and shallots play very well with oil and vinegar. Work wonders by integrating a finely chopped garlic clove or spoonful of minced shallot into your dressing blend. If the taste of raw garlic is too intense for you, try poaching a peeled clove in simmering water for three minutes to remove some of its bite. To tame the onion-y flavor of shallot, soak it in the vinegar for at least five and up to 15 minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients to your dressing.

6 INGREDIENTS: GO HERBAL
Fresh or dried herbs make vinaigrettes shine. Try any herb (or mix of herbs) you have on hand: basil, thyme, parsley, dill, oregano, marjoram, mint, tarragon, rosemary, cilantro, and chives are all great choices. You'll need about 1/2 teaspoon dried or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs per tablespoon of vinegar. You can always add more to taste.

7 INGREDIENTS: SPICE IT UP
Enliven your vinaigrette with toasted crushed or ground spices like red pepper flake, cumin, coriander, smoked or sweet paprika, fennel, or poppy seeds. Mix in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon spice per tablespoon vinegar. These flavor additions are especially nice with grain or lentil salads, grilled or roasted vegetables, or in marinades. Or make a garlic and spice-infused oil, let cool, and whisk with vinegar and any other elements you choose.

VINAIGRETTE POINTERS
Regardless of how far you take your vinaigrette, a few standard rules apply. Make a little at time—just what you need for a meal—or make a lot. It will keep for three days or longer in the fridge, depending on the shelf life of the ingredients you choose. You can store your vinaigrette at room temperature if no fresh ingredients like herbs or alliums are included.

And vinaigrettes aren't just for lettuce; They can be a great marinade for meat, seafood, or vegetables. Or serve your vinaigrette with bread for dipping, drizzle it over sliced fresh tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, use it as a sauce for steamed artichokes, or toss with roasted or grilled vegetables like asparagus, potatoes, eggplant, and summer squash.

What a clever lady! Enjoyed some time in the Hollywood limelight, found a man who adores her and has slinked off to enjoy a contented family life! Clearly brains with the beauty! (jessica alba)

TS is not the nice girl that she pretends she's a mean girl behind the closed doors...pretentious & annoying woman with a fake persona. she is a hypocritical bch. A wolf in sheep's clothing

I have always felt that Taylor was a mean girl. She hides it well behind her Miss Perfect persona.

I always knew Taylor was a wolf in sheep's clothing never trust anyone who constantly tries to make you believe theyre a nice sweet and sincere person it should come naturally.

I'm not on anyone's side, but you have to ask yourself, how does someone so "nice" manage to fall out with so many people who have been close to her?

Taylor Swift seems like just a nasty and spiteful bit of goods.....

Nobody can deny there is a very distinct pattern here, the amount of people Swift has had a public spat with, its embarrassing.

Such ridiculous naive lambs who buy this mud, you was brazenly fooled, they make money on you, creating false images of saints. AJ created a big PR company to promote her movie, she is ready to go on the heads. Too much hypocrisy and dirt.

she is not promoting the movie, she is promoting only HERSELF through all this bruhaha. That's why she is called out for.

Pitt is more private than Jolie will be.

September 26, 2017

She must be doing research for her new movie. 'How to survive as a single Mom'

Next time we will wait for the photo session near the gas station.

She's such a fake.

Wow her face totally in botox.

Her PR and media manipulation are very mesmerising.

You can not hide hypocrisy behind a smile ...

These pictures are completely staged... why is she doing it, I wonder???

Her entire image is based on fame through affiliation. Now that Brad's gone she'll use her kids and latch on to anything and anybody to get attention. Like in these staged pics, she's trying to give an impression she reads NatGeo and "knows" Jane Goodall. I very much doubt that!

Seriously, what's the point of these obviously staged pictures?

You mean why she is at the supermarket with an expensive blow dry, professionally applied make up, high heels and an expensive dress? I guess because she thought a tiara would be a bit much.

She wants that Oscar nomination desperately - the woman who acts like she is above Hollywood is the one who cares the most

She has so much bo-tox and fillers.

her appearance is 50% the result of plastic surgery and another 20% of cosmetic procedures, do not be naive, Jolie knows how to bring herself.

Funny how it's always the love of their life when they meet someone new...yawn!

Always "the love of your life" on your wedding day. Then....life happens.


Looks surprisingly normal? Are you blind? This is total staged, who is she kidding. She called her stylist before the "shopping trip", called the paparazzi and posed then. She's so fake.

Desperate and delusional. It's as entertaining as watching a trainwreck.

Staged, from the pre-grocery run professional blow dry to the "let's smile for the paps I called" coordinated smiles with the author friend. Everything about Jolie is STAGED and MANUFACTURED.

Jolie is a nasty person, she has already shown her true colors, she just plays on the public, it's disgusting.

Lol!! Sad, sad PR antics. Soooo obvious, desperate and boring.

So Sidney yes Brad's been seen at grocery store, but only leaving, not going down the isle getting off smiling at an advertisement on the back of National Geographic. Big difference.

Ok, I'll just throw this out there, Angie you looked pretty with the full face sparkling smile and a lot of fake hair and no showing off the nipps. Thank you for that btw. Few questions..The grocery store? I mean wtf? Every media outlet? Really? Dailing Mail Reporter aka Angelina ?? Tell me its not, every article for like a few weeks now. Flucking narcissist. So sad

So Malak and SIdney are the same person and is Angelina herself. No wonder the person replying to every post here. Who would be so mad except Angelina herself? LOL

Disgusting PR, pathetic hypocrisy.

A woman who uses her children for public relations and as a weapon in divorce against her father can not be a phenomenal mother, and her humanitarians are the same dubious PR.

October 01, 2017

I find it hard to believe that the son she refers to seems to lack the respect for the world he has inherited that Pitt was a part of. But of no mind because we all aware he is above correction. Perhaps if she and he find the recluse of his mother land to be of mote comfort he should return to his roots
These children are not children of the world but at all times carry the image of the homeless she tried to save. They look tired frightened unhealthy and unkept at all times not the world seekers she imposed on them. If she were so certain the fabulous mother of profession these children would hold the true radiance of that care. Brad Pitt is well to know that his withdraw from the public eye is the high road and I truly hope somehow someone will help these poor children to be what they truly are children!! She had made a mockery of "healing happy healthy family". I pray that someone will help these children.

I don't agree with the author, quite the contrary. She has shown her true colors, she filed false charges against Brad, she has shown what a vile, vindictive and bitter woman she is. And as her charges proved to be false, this means she is also a liar. Class and dignity? Don't make me laugh. She is a spoiled untalented brat,  a camp event just to cite Scott Rudin. I'm so fed up with her antics, using the kids only for her PR purposes. She is promoting everything with her life and lies. Did the author happen to forget she had talked about her shady casting methods in Cambodia then lied and tried to shove Vanity Fair under the bus? What kind of person is she really? How can someone write such a fantasy article about this person when reality shows otherwise?

She could have handled her divorce much more sensitively and behind closed doors. But she washed the family's dirty laundry in public. There was no dignity in dragging her partner through an investigation like this, even though she knew he would not be responsible for anything criminal. I pity your kids for having a mother without self-regulation

This article is a vile fluff piece on a disgusting person who puts hate and vengeance above all else. There is no 'class and dignity' in trying to destroy the father of your children by filing false charges of child abuse. Angelina Jolie is a pathetic woman who should be forcibly interred in a psych ward until doctors can help her to achieve mental health.  Somebody needs to help Brad Pitt rescue their children if she won't get help.

All of the people that ensure her privilege in Cambodia are part of the genocide there. She had one government official/killer run another killer off his property so she could steal it out from under him. Entitled, privileged, user.

she is an opportunist PERIOD

Angelina lost her fu cking mind, that's what happening.

Your PR is disastrous and ridiculous

Except for her hardcore insane fans, people are catching on to her manipulative S***.

She's such a strong, brave woman and the only one in the world who went through a divorce!

"She has handled the unfortunate end of her marriage to Brad Pitt with class and dignity."
She has no self-regulation

Here she call herself a humanitarian. All this people are suffering because nature hurricane, but doesn't say blib about all this people or help . Humanitarian humanitarian it doesn't no matter where people from are how they end up suffering. But all we here about it her suffing due divorce and a her movie that cost bribing 26 million that is useless

October 04, 2017

I smell flop. Not because of him, but because nobody likes or watches anything with AJ anymore. She is a camp event celebrity at best.

This will flop like Alice Through the Looking Glass. A sequel nobody asked for.

Not everything needs a sequel, prequel or reboot. Besides, I would think the sequel to Maleficent would be Sleeping Beauty which we already have.

That's just a bad idea like was the sequel of Alice and The Huntsman. Shocked to see Angelina back after all the critic's backlash.

I doubt that anything Angie does from now own will make as much money as in the past.

October 05, 2017

Cool! Feels like its been forever since we saw Brad. This movie sounds good, I'm sure James and Brad are happy to finally do a movie together.

Still got the hot!

He never lost it.

Lord have mercy he is so good-looking. I don't mean just his physical looks but just the way he carries himself. His whole demeanor is just chill and... dang.

He looks better than ever!!!

Looks so much better since ditching Jolie.

Another site has more pics, his body is so toned like Fight Club era toned and this man is 53 years old. He is Benjamin Button.

He still looks hot!

He seems to lost some weight again but maybe it's for the movie. He's still hot.

Simply space.

Tyler Durden come back!

You reap what you sow cheating jennifer Aniston because of Angelina Jolie ,But he's still handsome, drop-dead gorgeous

Finally that photos of Brad, very glad to see, I hope he's doing well. He's in a good shape.

He is gorgeous. Looks 100 times better than he was with that witch ex-wife.

Brad looks good because he left the vampire who had been poisoning his life for many years and publicly made him an alcoholic, forcing him to give an interview. Do not worry biiiitch, he'll be fine, unlike Jolie he does not have any mental and drug problems.

Jolie's mentaland drug problems are far more serious than Brad's any problem. But she doesn't take care of herself, and lies about Bell's palsy or whatever she found in the dictionary.

Beautiful man. He looks so young like 40 something.

I'm in the queue.... so good to get Brad back.

At age 53, he is still one of the hottest men.

Boy does he look good..............his ex is is just vile! She really needs to stop acting like the kids don't have a father.

It's all part of the special'Saint and Single Mother' show she puts on for the media, and her kids are a handy screen to prevent the kind of questions about her private life and addictions that she doesn't want to answer.

He looks great.

that Bodyguard is HUGE. holy moly. Brad is looking gorgeous as always.

damn he looks great, still looks the best among his peers

He looks better than ever!!!

This dude ever grow old? Superb on 53, Russell Crowe should take an example!

"Brads hair stood up untamed"....... God who writes this drivel? He looks much better though, untamed hair notwithstanding

The reason why he looks better is because he stopped drinking, so that made him lose weight.

he did it for his kids not her, he wanted out of his marriage with her.

Well, alright Mr. Bradley.
I see you. That body is looking all kinds of right.
And swagger in effect.
How old is he again?

Of course he's going to look better.  He has time to take care of himself now that he's been freed from the horde of children and isn't flying around the world with all of them pretending to save the world.   She did him a favor by cutting him loose.

Sorry to say...he should of never got involved with her in the first place...the woman is mentally disturbed..

I'm so glad that Brad is now free from Jolie's crazy drug addict, now she will not drink his blood, she needs to find a new victim and fall behind Brad.

Jolie loves drama and chaos. She creates it.

Mentally unstable Jolie thought she could help capture a Ugandan warlord? Hahahahahaha!

The idiocy, as if Angelina Jolie was a real spy , she can barely act, please encourage them to go ahead, we might get lucky and never see them again.

These people should stick to acting; they don't belong in the real world.

Oh, Puh-leeeze!!! Did no one tell her she is NOT playing Lara Croft in the new movie??

Someone's thinks she's in a movie and real life happens to other people.

Oh for Fock sake! :/..

Oh brother! Angie seriously needs to lay off the drugs. She is making stuff up to put out to the media now. She has ruined herself since the day she filed for divorce from Brad. Nobody will ever trust her again. She is done with a capital D.

She's a nut case! Sad Brad didn't see it!

For a moment I thought I was reading from either the Onion or a synopsis of the sequel to ¿Mr. And Mrs. Smith¿.

I think shes having a hard time decifering between her movies and real life.

This originated with Angie. Never happened. She's just desperate to rehab her image.

She really doesn't know about African really

Well, Jolie sure has had a lot of experience in her personal life as being a "honey-trap"!

I have so much respect for these two. They always put their Children first before theirs needs. Salute, guys! (seal and heidi)

October 11, 2017

But years after she had money and influence and nothing to fear, she sure as hell kept her mouth shut and warned no one else. Classy.

What really annoys me are all these "I was once harassed by Harvey" and "I told Harvey to stop being a perv", yet a few years down the line, these same people are captured in back-slapping, head-thrown-back-laughing photos with this animal. The hypocrisy and complicity of it all is thoroughly sickening

"I sincerely apologize - now I've been caught." Very Hollywood.

how much has Angie donated? She uses the foundation set up in her kids' names to *rinse* money collected for the pap shots she sells. She also make a large amount of money calling the paps to let them know where she will be and it also goes into the foundation, to save taxes. she says she donates that money but public records show that most of it is donated back to itself or to "salaries" to unknown people, with little going to real charities.

I wrote a phone number on the back of my hand this morning, anyone interested? No, thought not.

GO away.

You must have mistsken me for someone who cares.

What's the point of having tattoos on the back or arms when you can't read them. They would be better on a wall.

Why would anyone need to know this?

Looking forward to seeing whole chapters of Harry Potter on her back so her kids will always have something to read

Odd person.

Hideous...

No matter how meaningful the tattoos they won't look the same as you age...

She's definitely in the running for the Uglist Tattoo Award for 2017

Oh, tattoos are so mysterious... NOT! They are childish.

Finally she has shown us her true face

Manufactured pop star worth 300 million dollars. She has nothing to say that I care to hear.

Alas, the real, shallow, Taylor Swift is revealed.

Her face finally matches her personality.

It's time the maddeningly annoying Swift gets over herself. She's so in love with her own self importance that it's embarrassing.

Putting all these messages in songs, just pretty much sounds like you're too chicken s#/* to face folks in person

Typical Swift, once again playing the victim. She should look into a mirror for the inspiration of her next song - of course then it would have to be titled "I'm a lying tramp". The song also sucks. BTW - the $20 hooker look is fitting on her.

What else does she have to write about?
She's barely lived at all in the real world with real people.
She's writing about what she knows...petty and empty garbage

Taylor is the youngest bitter person in pop music.

it is passive aggressive.

The trash that Taylor churns out is beyond redundant. Taylor's new songs are taking subliminal disses at someone? Wow, she's never done that before. She's so lame and predictable, a terrible singer and a petty person. Her pity parties and silly fights are just so tired.

So she's basically reinforcing her reputation of being a drama queen who makes money at others expense by airing her beef with everyone, just like all her other albums?

Taylor always comes off as a snarky middle school kid to me. Someone like Kesha turned bad experiences into a beautiful new album. Maybe Taylor should follow her lead instead of always picking fights.

The butt groping trial was nothing but a publicity stunt to help her sell a new album. It's no coincidence her album announcement came right after this publicity stunt ended. This girl is disgusting and childish.

Don't really like this drama queen. She really needs to grow as an artist instead of holding on to her teenie bopper fan base.

I'm sure she's been waiting for the trial to end for the release. Free publicity is always nice.

She took too much time off. She is bringing up old drama...move on

In 10 years, Taylor will be in Vegas lip-syncing to her songs like Britney and all those washed up pop stars trying desperately to remain in the spotlight. It's actually quite sad. It may be better to just retire and quietly disappear. It's not like these people need money. They have enough money to live comfortably the rest of their lives.

It doesn't take much to become iconic now a days

Sweetie, you got outsmarted by the Kardashians. I would never bring that topic up again, it does you no favors.

A director of substance..i stopped right there!! Lol

Not a great actress.

Sorry to piss on your parade, but nothing this woman has ever touched has been either stylish or substantive.

Westerners who live in Cambodia think the latest film is pretty crap. But she has done great works in the bush with medical clinics and so on.

In an orphan-collecting adoption fight, who would win- Angelina Jolie or Madonna?

I'm baffled that anybody could consider her a talented actress. She is utterly wooden. Her face is a frozen mask. She may be a good director- I've yet to see one of her films.
I also find her politicking as self righteous and tedious as Sean Penn's.

Propaganda actress

Style, substance... and barking mad, don't forget that

I don't know her of course, but she comes across as pompous. She needs a lighter and sassier touch to be credible, even when addressing dark themes.
Plus anyone pals with penis head William Hague must have serious gaps of judgment.

According to the magazine, the children all came from deprived backgrounds.
No, not according to the magazine. According to Jolie herself, whose words were quoted directly in the article.
Vanity Fair and Peretz have resisted the demands of Jolie and her lawyers to remove the offending material,
Of course they have, because (not mentioned here) they later produced the full transcript of the interview, straight fro the horse's mouth, which if anything made Jolie look even worse than she did in the original article.
The irony is, far from being an attack job, the Vanity Fair article was in fact something of a celebrity puff piece. Rather like this article.

I know it's daft to think there can only be one film about a subject, but when you have a film as masterful as the 'The Killing Fields', perhaps it's better just to leave it at that.

Absolutely ghastly , manipulating, ego driven narcissist.
Her acting is average , sorry. Not in her father's class.

Her 'work' for the UN is blatantly self promotion and PR. (though she's not alone in that)

Haha! U must be joking. Guardian get serious. We read u as you are not Glamour, OK magazine or Vanity Fair.

Yeah, I wonder how much the dreadful woman contributed to have this piece of misplaced hero worship published.

'With only a few exceptions, her film choices have been downright baffling..'
Hahaha ... baffling to you maybe ... i'll give you a clue ... its green and Abba made a song about it
Good luck to her

Jolie is nothing special as an actress. She strikes me as a bit of a weirdo actually, which is unsuprising given her old man is an authentic, genuinely bona-fide RWNJ.

I live in Cambodia and followed her actions in the press whilst she made her new film. She is clueless about most of the country's history and current aspirations.

She kept company with the likes of Hun Sen, the murdering ex-Khmer Rouge captain and current murdering PM/dictator, stayed in the most expensive, insulated hotels, and only met the "ordinary" Khmers she claims to champion on her film sets.

She also used 500 actual members of the highly corrupt Cambodian army to play Khmer Rouge soldiers, traumatising villagers in the process, as the Great Lady herself seemed almost proud to tell us:
“When the Khmer Rouge came over the bridge, we had a few people who really dropped to their knees and wailed. They were horrified to see them come back,”
I get that cooperating with local officials is unavoidable when filming in certain countries, but this 'human rights activist' didn't seem to mind traumatising ordinary Cambodians - including deprived children - to make her vanity project film.

I hate the actors and celebrities worshipping. I don't like her and will not seek her movies.

I could be wrong but she appears scripted and one dimensional when discussing the subjects of her movies that one can't help but wonder about the depth of her understanding. Her acting isn't crash hot either compared to numerous other female leads

What bs.

She couldn't act her way out of an envelope.

"Angelina Jolie: an actor of style and a director of substance".
Yeah, well, velour bell bottoms once used to be in style and shit is a substance. This piece is trying to keep this hack of an actor and director in our minds for a reason and it's not merely because the author couldn't think of someone or something better and more interesting to write about.
The thing that sucks for those who write crap like this is that there are giant swathes of the population who no longer accept it and thank heavens for that. Here's hoping the rest get on board eventually.

highly overrated mediocre actress and wannabe director.
while i appreciate celebs who promote charitable cases, she - like madonna, adopting, no. hoarding children - appears to do so mainly for publicity reasons.
where are the likes of audrey hepburn these days who contributed to charity without being a fame wh*re?

'Angelina Jolie op' is given to women it cannot help: Surgeons are pushing women to have mastectomies they do not need, top doctor warns

Stop naming cancers and treatments after this nasty woman.It insults people's intelligence!

I don't think her ego can handle that her daughters will grow up to be better looking than her. That's why she's dressing both of them like boys.

Is there really a point to being rail thin with oversized implants when 90% of the time she dresses like a suburban grandmother?

Yes, she has a nice face but she still is malnourished and emaciated. Sad to see that she doesn't seek help for her obvious ED.

Saturating us in PR coverage with this relentless Pity Me Me Me Tour won't make us forget how you played "Grab the Cookie" with poor children, and bragged about it.

PR overdrive! No matter how hard she tries to look like a decent person; won't work! She is totally friendless, except for the sycophants she pays to be around her. Can't wait for the divorce to be known and for Brad to come out of the shadows of this despicable woman and fall in love again. Having Daddy around again; she is beyond desperate!!

Charwin Gale Garcia It's not about finding the other half to become whole. It is all about two full souls becoming one.

Drei Lazatin love is always a choice, always a conscious commitment. it's a choice to make it work every day with the person who has chosen the same thing. there's a difference between feelings and commitments. it's not enough to choose the person who only makes your heart flutter. choose someone who's committed to choosing you, always finding something to adore even on the bad days. it's not supposed to be perfect. this person could be your "universe" and vice versa, and there will be times when you can no longer see stars in each other's eyes.. but as long as you both still choose to look until you find them again, that's how you know you're making it work.


La Luna Sangre: Week 13 Recap

September 15, 2017

Haven't we heard enough about this person already? How much more attention does she need? I subscribe to the NY Times in order to escape news about Hollywood celebrities.

A big article about A. Jolie's marriage made me wonder what the world is coming to, when the largest photo on the front page is this rather than a focus on the other pressing issues in the world.

The front page, center, of the New York Times, sports a glam shot of Jolie. Way to ruin my day.

Really? With everything going on the world right now, the NYT puts this puff piece on Jolie on the "front page" of my online
Paper? This, on the heels of the article on the Marie Antoinette-ish "vegetable gardens" in the Hamptons. Maybe I should just be subscribing to Country Life instead....

The death of American journalism. NYT was once a great publication. Now its reduced to click-baiting.

NY Times feeding into her narcissism. Poor baby. She is going to save the world. What's next? Her experience of eating a chocolate ice cream cone and how it changed her view on ice cream, chocolate, cones, and saving the world.

Is there a "public appetite for salacious details of her personal life" or is it a media appetite? Glamazon? Vixen? Sounds more like a rag than the NYT.

This is plainly and simply good PR handed to Jolie.Why is the Times playing along? I didn't sign up for this stupidity and hence, expect a partial refund of my subscription.
I've spent many years working with actors, most of whom I've found to be less than interesting–except to themselves. J.D. Salinger's analysis is the best: "I hate actors. They never act like people. They just think they do."

I became a “breast cancer survivor” this past spring. Five years! And no I don’t have pink license plates etc.
Being an MD I asked the “breast specialist” (He laughed at the term!) while he was doing an exam and ultrasound searching for any further signs of a tumor, “How had the Angelina Jolie's NY Times editorial affected his practice?”
He stopped examining me and groaned. “I felt as if I had made the cover of a pop tabloid! It was AWFUL! No matter how I explained breast cancer to patients they always retorted with 'But Angelina says...' Or worse they used the portmanteau of Brangelina and then I was REALLY lost!”
He went on to tell me that more unneeded bilateral mastectomies were done in the USA in the following year after Jolie’s editorial than his colleagues ever could have imagined. They finally broke down and did the unneeded surgeries. He said he had two partners who quit breast surgery and went back to doing gall bladder and colon surgeries. They refused to “mutilate” any more women unnecessarily. Saying “Let’s watch this” was verboten.
Jolie is pretty much despised by most breast cancer specialists I have met.
My family even insisted that I SHOULD get the same surgery as Jolie. My twin sister actually said “What does YOUR doctor know more than Angelina does?”
Celebrities! I will NEVER understand the fascination. Perhaps it’s because I’ve had patients who were “stars” and I knew how terribly boring or worse “normal" they actually were.

The Killing Fields (1985) by Roland Joffe. I knew about the Cambodian genocide 30 years ago. Do I get a prize?

I'm thinking this woman must have an absolutely superhuman publicist. How in our devastated flooded real and political worlds is she somehow the lead photo in my on-line nyt site? Who cares how badly Brad hurt her, if he did? Who cares about her new movie, beyond the movie pages. And by the way, she should eat more.

I think Angelina is always that weido next door you can't stand. She is just really pretentious in everything she does. Brad appears genuine and owns his mistake. It takes two to break a marriage. Angelina never owns her mistake. she definitely has fault in the breakup. But she doesn't admit her problem. She just blames men in her life. She divorced 3 times. she really needs sit down and think maybe she is the problem and she needs improvement. If she doesn't do that, she will never find happiness. No one is perfect including her.

I agree with you💯 👍 3 times is to many analysis ur self and say maybe there right she always been a rebel she needs to change her way to be happy...,.

How disgusting to read all this, people do not like it for no reason. She had long planned a divorce, she slandered Pitt, bought the press, which she is doing now. I have no sympathy for her, she is not a victim, Jolie tries to manipulate people through the media, it's so obvious. This article does not change anything .....

Angelina is the person never goes into a marraige thinking of long term. All her 3 marriages last 2-3 years. She doesn't understand the meaning of marriage. Marriage is never " for better or for worse", to her it is only for better, when it gets worse, she just quits. She never wants working out the problems via conseling or therapy. She just wants out. She should never marry.

I will always be on Brad's side, he's a good man and this is all very unfair.!I hope he still meets a good woman who will sincerely love him.

two are to blame, not one, no one asked her to go for a married man.

Maybe she should be teaching their Kids not to be brats & actually listen to their Father; I mean that's what got them into this mess in the first place!!

"Destruction of her image"?!? Yeah right. She's a home wrecker. Even before she fooled around with a then married to Jennifer Aniston Brad Pitt, she stole Billy Bob Thornton from his fiancé Laura Dern.

Brad admitted his mistakes whether they were embarrassing for him or not. Has Angie? If so, they have been few and far between. The difference was that Angie set out to destroy his reputation instantly and it backfired on her plain and simple. She tried to make him out as some villian from the get go. He didn't retaliate against her, try to ruin her, and even cooperated with what she asked. He sought help for his issues and made the necessary changes. Those actions spoke to their fans louder than her words against him. If Angie was so worried about protecting the children she would not have tried to drag their fathers reputation through the mud. Now, I do not know either of them of course, but she gets what she deserves because of her actions and the things she has said and done against Brad. She could of simply handled the situation privately if she wanted out. Look at Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, those two knew how to handle their business and still treat each other with respect at the same time for the sake of their children.

Ummm thats because she is. Shes a homewrecker and now shes getting her just deserts. I dont feel bad for her at all.... Him yes kids yes her? Pshh never in a million yrs would i feel bad for her she deserves evrything she gets right now

She has always been manipulative.

Karma for going after a married man, not that he was a Saint either.

I agree, she manipulates. Articles are funny. Propaganda: love Jolie, not Pitt, she's saint!

Very manipulative

She have a big PR, they buy press.

Karma Karma Karma........that's all.

 I also do not believe that he was a drunken alcoholic. I think they and Jolie have agreed on this interview and the fact that he should take the blame for himself. A man with such a work capacity and good reputation, which was for 30 years, suddenly became a villain? Strange and fantastic ....

She's losing it and menopause will be the end

She Is a Nut Job.  Plain and Simple.

Angelina talks about her emotions regarding the poor and suffering countries while living in lavish luxury or Leonardo talks about environmentalism while cruising around in jets or eating a piece of animal flesh.
The hypocrisy of these humans is so evident.

A reader says Jolie deserves credit for making this film, as "This story might have never made it to the big screen." There is already a film on this subject. Be that as it may, this writer is too obsequious to be objective, smitten by the "gorgeous" mansion and the "sculpted lines of her face," which, are indeed, sculpted -- by loads of plastic surgery, that is. So family-oriented: How does publicly excoriating the children's father constitute concern for her children? Jolie’s concern is just a vanity project. Her Twitter account never posts a photo of a suffering child without her in it. How does visiting oppressed children and taking photos with them help them?
When Trump first put his anti-Muslim immigration policy into effect, Jolie was very slow to object. As long as hers is not the only voice, she’s not interested in speaking. Re: her preventative surgery: A survey found that decision had no lasting influence on women's health-care decisions. The writer forgets Re:“In the Land of Milk and Honey,” women from rape camps demonstrated against the film, begging her not to make it, as it glorified rape. (Love affair between a rape victim and the head of the rape camp?)
In the article, I saw reluctance to buy a home for her children, whom she has been traipsing around the world all their lives; that she won't send them to school; that they take care of her. Her staff, not Jolie, takes care of them. The reporter bought into this Hollywood hype at which Jolie excels.

This read like a Eugene Levy-Christopher Guest comedy farce. Ignoring the movie she made, she was wholly laughable in this interview.

Ms. Jolie notes that her kids have not just a treehouse, they have a "parkour treehouse" behind their $25 million mansion. And she's a humanitarian.

Just be pretty, and you can get away with almost anything.

Let me say let me say from the outset I have a firm belief people should do with their wealth what they wish. However, I grow increasing weary of hypocrisy. Could she not have purchased a more modest - let's say $10mm estate - and given the other $15mm to her cause, or does she just what everyone else to? This is analogous to celebrities flying to Davos to press for climate issues traveling in private jets rather than reducing their carbon footprint by flying commercial - or attending via video conferencing.

Once a borderline personality, always a borderline personality. Emotional turmoil, no internal "self", and poor boundaries. Sad.

No depth to this story, contrary to what the headline and summary would have you think. Unnecessary exercise in flattery

For all her incredible beauty, status and interest in humanitarian issues, there's one thing she can't escape, being so utterly staggeringly dull.

I want to not be so cynical of her, but a very large part of me sees all her family is first facade as more self-serving than meets the eye. Yes, of course her humanitarian efforts in Cambodia, etc., can't be knocked; she is doing good work there. But the family part.......she reminds me of Mia Farrow, who couldn't stop herself from building her family bigger and bigger until she had no control. She was a bit wacky as well. I fear for the Jolie-Pitt kids because I think there's lots of trouble ahead for the entire family. Just because she keeps her voice calm and quiet doesn't mean things are calm and quiet in that house.

I am not a fan of her as I see her as some one seeks attention at all times, And If the plight in other countries so concern you why live in a 20 Million dollar home in Hollywood . All show biz ! Sorry but we have many plights her as well and children needing parents .

How much better would we view Ms. Jolie if the story were how she struggled her entire life in anonymity to "save the world"?

What an actress. And director, directing precisely how she wants people to see her. Never got her allure. Never will.
Look, I love a strong woman doing selfless, meaningful work for the world (but she didn't get elected did she). Jolie just seems a tad too twee, twisting the pop media machine to make herself appear endearingly (and more and more like Audrey Hepburn: the real deal). Maybe when she jettisons the whole Hollywood thing, donates her riches (who needs a $25 mil pad - which she makes herself in the purchasing sound like a welfare mother moving into section 8 housing to get her and the kids away from an alcoholic husband), and focuses specifically on the issues she champions, then I might have a change of mind.
BUT she seems to have "man" issues, flinging any one off like a dictator when he displeases her. A heated argument between father and son, mom probably not backing dad igniting dad's ire at son because son's taking advantage of mom's implicit siding with son. Have a hard time believing Pitt is the evil actor worthy of destroying a relationship and family over. Ever hear of loyalty, sticking through thick and thin. That's rhetorical. Jolie seems like a my way or the highway type with men littering the scree.
O, then there's the home-wrecker Jolie. What a character.

Her love of humanity? You must mean her love for self-promotion. So she loves her kids. Who doesn't? And she sees injustice somewhere in the world. Who doesn't?
Funny how her concerns always pop up while she selling her latest Hollywood movie. Strictly for the rubes.

Teenagers should be out and about exploring the world on their own terms, with their own friends, not traipsing around the world without the structure of school-holiday cycles, being dragged into their egocentric parent's projects.

She has always been a wierdo didn't she snog her brother

"a wonder" - what teenage boy talks like that? I can see Angie writing out his answers & making him memorize them.

hope she's been able to quit smoking in the last 12 months in addition to her preventative surgeries

When Angie allows her teenage son to give interviews that makes him fair game - blame his mother for not protecting him.

this boy is just a puppet in her narcissistic hands.

He's going to be one of those kids that looks 42 when he's 19. Hayley-Joel Osment syndrome.

ANd the 13 year old set photographer

This kid gives me the creeps. Big time.

Only Zahara dressed as a girl, her other daughters both dressed like boys.

Angie doesn't want competition from her bio daughters - there can be only one beauty in that family.

So now are the kids giving interviews as well? I swear her martyr complex is annoying.

this crazy woman has no limits, now she is using her kids and asking them to do interviews and say how great she is, pathetic

She sickens me.

How about she let her kids be kids instead of growing really fast. She def. requries a lot of ego massaging, since it's not coming from the public anymore, her health stories are not cutting it, so now it's all about her kids propping her up.

How does a 16 year old become an executive producer of a film?

This is BEYOND WEIRD

Wow, she's actually sent her son to give an interview for image repair! He's only just 16. This woman's desperation has no limits. Those poor kids are her props and shields, even her Golden Child. Awful. Just awful!

She's actually trying to set him up in producing films.

This woman is absolutely 100% INSANE.

and absolutely evil!

A 16 year old executive producer?! Give us a break!

Yes, pretty laughable. It's fine to include them in your work quietly, but not give interviews at such an age or put them out there in the spotlight just for your projects. She seems quite tone-deaf regarding their need for protection in this way, so it undermines her supposed excuse for the plane event or divorce.

and humanitarian shiloh who decided her job at age 6 lol

she uses this boy, manipulating him.

The divorce hearing must be coming up soon with all these PR stories from team Jolie

Why would a parent let their child go into this industry? Maddox is at an age where Angelina needs to give permission, despite the fact that she has spoken about how she felt about it when she was younger.

She should be shielding him not wheeling him out as a cheerleading mascot

Maddox is the one who was arguing with Brad when he was escorted off the plane, leading to their separation ...

I'm so tired of their lying PR! This is the same woman who said that Brad was a wonderful father and husband. How has he become an executive producer, when that position is reserved for the person who brings in the funding for the money. In other words, she paid for the movie.

If you think about it deeply and pay attention to the unconscious links. Her true level of disturbance is apparent in the title of the film alone - 'First They Killed My Father'. She is the seductive mother, who has killed off the children's father and the son has stepped in. Wasn't it this son Brad was trying to discipline and instead stood accused? I'm glad people are seeing through her finally. I can honestly say I have always deemed her as someone you could never trust. She's just not stable.

Angelina's PR is working overtime but it is too obvious and desperate.

Is this supoose to make me like her?

So people donate to the Jolie Pitt foundation then Angelina gets the credit for using that money to do good? What about the ones donating their actual money? Got to admit though, her PR people that are paid so phenomenally are finally on the right track after 12 months of disasters. I'm pleased Angelina did a kind thing 16 years ago.

I am sure Angelina PR paid them well. she thinks everyone is dumb as her. lol

What a coincidence that this story is coming out today - the same day Angelina's movie comes out on Netflix.

This one only cares about herself and her huge ego.

Now he looks as crazy as his mother

what a coincidence the story comes out when her movie is out? she insults people's intelligence.

With a new movie out she has to promote, she's got to do damage control... now comes all the "she's so amazing" articles. Insult to our intelligence

Wow, her PR machine is going full throttle.

No matter how hard she tries, she always appears fake.

Not enough. Angelina

She can only fool the idiots.

She is so phony.

This was like 15 years ago! How many times can she take a bow for the same thing?

Such a PR Hollywood has not seen a long time or at all. All for the commerce of the film. And she uses children, father she buys the articles. A miserable manipulator and hypocrite.

I see Angelina has her pr team working on comments section. lol

The poor kids and her father and these people are used by her as props.

Why does she dress her biological daughters like boys, but makes sure her adopted daughter Zahara is as girly as can be? Seems off.

Geesh...she needs to eat some food! I guess it shows that money doesn't make you happy! Wishing her the best!

She is a straight koo koo clock without the clock.

She is weird. She has little to no friends and claims her best friends are her kids.. She talks how they got her through the divorce, can't they just be kids and enjoy childhood?

She need some milk

it's clear that brad pitt was just a sperm donor

She looks awful

This is one woman who is not aging very good

Why do all her bio daughters dress like boys?

Is that a corpse?

I can see her old lady showing...glimpse into the future.

Biological children are pretty and she doesn't want any competition so she dresses them like that in my opinion..

Look how gross skinny she is... Ewwww... think tomb raider girl. Omg

She looks unhealthy. Someone close to her needs to tell her to eat.

Only zahara dresses ok. She needs to guide the other girls how to dress.

This poor lady is a bag of bones..

Angie is looking skeletal. The jailhouse tattoo is a nice touch to her heroin chic look.

Someone send her cake, donuts and lot's of pastries please..

Isn't this what abusers due, drwss up your victims and parade them. They will all write books about their time with Angie.

What happened to her? She was so gorgeous before. Now, she looks like she needs a hamburger.

"Viviene" does not look happy at all in any of the photos ... Maybe she wants to actually look like a girl but isn't allowed to? Why is Zahara the only girl who actually gets dressed like a girl? Weird family.

 She used to have an eating disorder and I believe she still does.

Ewww Angelina needs to lay off the drugs and eat

 I've yet to see a picture where Zahara is actually hugged or is next to her adopter who has her arm/hand around Zahara!? Standing on the outside looking in from a great distance - Zahara looks like she too is on the outside looking in...

Give her a hamburger you can see the bone...not healthy!

Angelina Used To Be So Bad... Now She Just Looks Bad

 Angie finally achieved her goal to severe ties between poor Brad and his Children... there is nothing brutal like a womans scorn.

 Those kids look like rag a muffins....and then look at her....she is a sick woman always has been....look at how she 'Let's ' her girls dress...she is sending these kids down the wrong path...just wait

 people need to give her a hamburger!!! Angelina looks way to skinny, sickly looking!

Why do her girls dress like men?

 She looks horrible.

Someone give her a dam cheeseburger

Reason for her tattoos... read about her background and life decisions. She's disturbed.

Tacky

Money cant buy class

The relentless tattoo obsession is very clear proof that this is an extremely troubled woman.

And don't they look lovely with a designer dress. Not.

we're best friends and love each other so much. LOL. you're getting divorced because you can't stand each other. celebs say the stupidest shit when they break up.

La Luna Sangre: Malia reunites with La Liga Unida | EP 63

COMMENTS

September 14, 2017

I think 'Mad' was more important than Brad, and that is Sad.

Um are you kidding ?? The kids should always be more important.

No wonder divorce rates are so high.

They are equally as important. They are different types of relationships. The one you put second will suffer. When your kids leave home one day, as they should, you will be left with your partner. If you didn't prioritize that relationship, it won't be there when the last kid leaves.

Same level of importance, but very different relationships and very different loves.

 Same level of importance until he gets married and his wife becomes more important than his mother

Most "wonder mom's" I know can't take a year off to heal from anything let alone a divorce.

She is using that odd relationship with her oldest to alienate the kids from Brad.

 Poor kids. Angelina Jolie is a nut job. No doubt she loves her children but her priorities are displaced. Hope Brad Pitt is able to have input in their lives.

She is using the children to spite Brad. If their father is not there they shouldn't be there. Being seen everywhere without their father makes him look irresponsible and that's not true. It's so sad that she's trying to use the children as a weapon to punish Brad and make him look bad. Angelina Jolie is crazy.

So sick of these families who don't encourage their children to get educated. Latch on to parents jobs. At 16 he should be in high school. Elite life. Surely not the only family to go thru divorces, pain or sadness. She caused at least 50% of the pain. She is so odd.

Mad became new dad after ma's lockdown, wearing brown matching uniforms on the red carpet, way 2 govern ur children..

Image may contain: text

This feels like they are trying to extract Brad from his life.

Angie. It has been a Very tough year on Brad too. Enuf.

I absolutely love Brad, but he's said his piece, why can't she say hers?

As if a 16 yr old would honestly seek out the media to tell the world about his martyr mom. Take those kids away from that woman. My god

 Right by her side ? , did not read the article but why should he have to be right by her side ? Not a place for a kid

Oh wise grasshopper!

She refers to being a single mom but then follows with taking a year off

Give me a break. She is a home wrecker

Punk ass bitch.

A relationship like Woody Allen next?

SICK VERY VERY SICK IS THIS BITCH ANGELINA WHOM IS A HORRIFIC MOTHER LEANING ON HER CHILDREN SPEWING LIES ABOUT THEIR FATHER

Go Away, Angelina!

She looks sad without brad

Sad eyes

Oh puh-lease. Difficult and painful life is when you don't have enough money to feed your kids and pay the rent because your husband emptied the back accounts when he walked out on you.

 Angelina Jolie is just a cry baby all her life has been full of this and that whatever we all have problems she needs to stop digging the past! And STFU!

 ZERO sympathy for her! Bet she's just hangry...

I find it funny that she says she wants her family healthy when she herself doesn't look healthy.

 Um, he stood by her through her eating disorder, he stood by her through her depression, he stood by her through her cancer scare. But she walked away from him and his alcoholism. So...yeah, I call bs on that shade she through Brad

 I was thinking the same thing! She had a pre-emptive hysterectomy and double mastectomy. That is some serious recovery there.

 Agreed. I was going to post the same thing. He stood by her through the most difficult of times and she couldn't stand w him. Shamful!

He gave her so many chances, yet the first sign of trouble she runs for the hills. But it actually is okay because Brad is better off without her.

So because he stood by her she should have to put up with him being an abusive drunk??? No no no.

Yes Malcolm. It's called marriage.

All she's doing is trying to make herself visible so she can promote her movie. She's been through enough marriages and divorces so she knows what she's doing. And I don't believe she's having a tough time about it. Also whatever happened to the big foreign minister job she was trying to get I think in Britain?

She look like she smokes meth

 She need to go away , like seriously go continue to kiss her brother and keep wearing billy bob's blood

This woman is so dramatic, when will she stop using men for her political mirage. Besides UN she will run for office. One day

The kids always look so miserable...I'm guessing there's a new Mommy Dearest book in their future

 She's just doesn't come across as likeable or down to earth in any way

Saw her and the kids on tv show last night. She needs to eat, her arms, legs and body is skin and bones. Don't look healthy to me.

She is far from perfect. Hope she can move on soon

 All in the head and nothing in the heart husssh....

She's a strange one!!!

Skeleton Face.

It's a bit easier not be distracted by material possessions and to "be fully as you are" when you already have enough material possessions for 500 lifetimes.

When will this woman disappear and save us her hypocrisy...

Angelina Jolie: "There's no time to be small or selfish or distracted by material posessions...Be fully as you are. Know your voice, and stand by it."

Says a woman with hundreds of millions of dollars.

 What a whiner. This from a woman who has everything in the world relating to material possessions. She even collects kids.

What a horrible actress. You need to learn how to be a decent person before you can be a good mother or actor!

 She's not a single mom. There is still an active Dad in the picture. Single moms are doing it all alone. Selfish bitch.

 She needs to stop acting like Brad doesn't want these kids... She pushes people away

Difficult? Try being a single mom, no child support and working 6 dsys

Can't stand Angelina Jolie

No one cares about this homewrecker

Executive Producer , how ridiculous. He's 16 years old. Nepotism much. Wonder how all the grown up professionals working on the film felt about that? She's disgusting

16 year olds becoming executive producers yet I can barely fold my laundry....

But having him as an EP is a little much. I'm sure the producers who've been working for decades were side-eying him a bit.

Oh here we go again with Angie

Such an attention whore! She wanted the divorce and she made it unnecessarily hard on the children with her unfounded accusations about Brad and bringing the CPS and the FBI into her drama! She made their father out to be a horrible person, adding that stress to the children's lives! She is just a horrible person with no moral values and, at this point, no following!

 Doesn't this home wrecking whore ever go away and keep her trap shut...geesh. She's the reason the kids were in a bad way to begin with. So thankfully, if she isn't lying like usual, they're getting better in spite of having her for a mother

 Just shut up with your whining. People do this everyday. Boo whoo

She's such a phony.

Not a big fan. She does good work for many causes though. I admire that. She manipulative and trust me we are only seeing what she wants us to with this article. Some of the reasons she divorced would not shine a good light on her.

Really? Guessing not as difficult as anyone else anywhere ever- seriously lady get a clue! #selfabsorbed

 But still dumb as a rock

Karma is real...

Why does she dress the girls like boys

 Angelina is a true Witch.

Wish she would stop making her birth children look like boys smh besides the boy twin lol since he actually a boy lol

Why do her daughter's look like boys?

So all her daughters want to be boys  ok smh

Forget how the kids look, why does she look so old for 42?!?

Quick someone throw Angie a cheeseburger! 😩 turning to bones

 They young lady in the front row left side looks like she is thinking " get me the f*ck out of here!

Knox looks more like Angelina and Vivianne looks more like Brad

Angie looks like walking skeletons for me

She's got enough money to buy foods yet she's looks like skeletons... she's got enough money for everything yet looks like skeletons

 She is using her kids to get attention too much talks about her kids too much...

Ironic name of a movie for this family right now

So over her complaining about what a tough year she has had. People all over doing it a lot tougher. So she's got six kids, she also has nannys and plenty of money. And the kids have a father who would love to spend more time with them. Try sharing Ang.

 I get a "Mommy Dearest " feeling from her.

I don't like Angelina Jolie although we're not in her life I think the way she handled her divorce to Brad was just dirty

 I noticed she cut Vivennes hair and started dressing her like a boy too now , I am really surprised she let her be a girl as long as she did, she wanted to make her a boy before she reaches puberty I guess, Knox is probably glad he is already a boy, Zahara is next I guess, a giant shame they got turned into boys, such beautiful glorious girls they would have been too very sad.

Nope, you and your husband should of come first. That stabilizes the marriage that in turn benefits the kids. Also, keep in mind that your kids are special to you, but do not impose the responsibility of making them be your best friend. They need to make their own friends but I can imagine how hard it is for them to do that when they are basically on lockdown catering to your emotional needs.

It seems to me, Angelina is the one who stirred up the hornet's nest with Brad Pitt. It was all a self-inflicted wound.

Girl, get off the cross, someone could use the wood.

You reap what you sew. I can't imagine being locked in with her was best. I can't imagine what she's putting on them if this is what she's saying publicly. They are her best friends ? No one has ever stood by her? She's pretty wounded. These types of statements put the kids in charge of her needs.

I don't doubt that Jolie is a caring and generous person but ultimately she is an actor who earns millions to be in a movie. That's what she does...act. The money she earns from that allows her to be generous as well live in a $25 million home. Her personal wealth is about $200 million.
On the other hand, nurses, doctors, first responders, firemen and women, teachers and the list goes on are on the front lines of helping people all the time, that's what they DO. They may make a decent wage but take a moment to reflect the utter obscenity that one person who acts gets paid more money than these folks combined would ever see in a life time.
There's something very wrong with this picture.
To have her on the cover of the NYT is embarrassing.
Perhaps Miss Jolie could have shown more humility and have you interview the staff that works in her mansion.

None of us is so perfect but we are allowed an honest reaction. I try to see the good in AJ. I have to say I think her acting is nothing special, clearly not high quality, so she rides on the rest of her accolades, which lately include getting some big media coverage on her medical decisions and jumping on the bandwagon of politically correct issues. Good job her. She certainly knows how to position herself as a suffering, caring, (extremely wealthy) white female. Poor job NYT. I cannot stand to look at her anymore, there are scores of far more interesting and worthwhile people (with stories that do not follow the poor princess narrative AJ has built,) whom are far more worthy of your readers time, and whom you might elevate to such a large front page position on this day. I do not have a scrap of interest in her. Shes always been mundane.

How is it reasonable that this human makes the front page for surviving a divorce and making a film, given all of the other issues and disasters (natural and political) that face your country right now? Disappointing, NYT.

Don't find her even a little bit interesting.

I've never understood Ms. Jolie's seeming contradiction between her humanitarian efforts and the movies she's made that glorify violence. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" come to mind. Always leaves me shaking my head.

Please, can we stop with the adulation of this woman? I have nothing against her, but she's hardly Mother Theresa. She hasn't devoted her life to a humanitarian cause - she lives in great luxury and privilege and occasionally churns out a quickly forgotten movie with a social justice theme, from which she makes a substantial profit. Really, is she any different from any average person who drops a few bucks into a Salvation Army collection bin and calls it a day?

As a subscriber and daily reader of the New York Times, I'm disgusted by this article. Why is this pointless article front page news? And, why is the New York Times always providing a forum for Angelina Jolie? If I wanted to read about the "Goth weirdo" whose house is a "beaut" I would go to TMZ or the Daily Mail. Angelina Jolie doesn't interest me but I do happen to know she is a very troubled person who treated her husband abominably, using her children against him and using her children for publicity. In the wake of that split, she's obviously got the P.R. machine going. Just... gross.

I was shocked to see the big, Botox and collagen-plumped face of Angelina Jolie staring at me the first time I went to the NYT front page. I thought I had clicked on the National Inquirer by accident. Is this narcissistic and petty movie star really more worthy of the front page than the suffering of those in the Florida Keys? The Times must be really desperate for clickbait, but you have just given the Trump camp ammunition that the Times is nothing more than a left-wing tabloid, full of fake news.

What was supposed to break her? The failure of her effort to destroy Pitt's reputation and career, and bar him permanently from any contact with his children? I know the lady has powerful press agents, but I'm surprised they were able to get her a glowing piece of rehabilitation in the New York Times. Isn't People enough?

Kids should not be your best friend. Kids should not have the job of giving you love. Kids should not be given the responsibility of adult love to a parent. Kids should not "all" you need in life.
She is very enmeshed with the kids and that is a problem.
I wish her well but families are not perfect and hard times are when we learn the most in life.

This article does not really say much of anything. Not much about her is all that appealing, and there are plenty of unsung real aid workers in the trenches here in the US and abroad who are doing meaningful work everyday. I find her photo ops looking sadly into the eyes of a child in a refugee camp revolting because it's always about her, carefully crafting her image. Please Times, give us articles about real heroes, not Hollywood celebrities who aspire to be like them.

I am astonished that the New York Times would give front page coverage to Angelina Jolie and to a story which is hashed and re-hashed every few months in one or another fashion magazine. Once again, we are given a carefully constructed, tightly scripted persona replete now with make-up and hair coloring designed to transform Ms Jolie into an Asian Madonna. Oncc again, the 'story' is told as Ms Jolie intends us to have her story told; the loving mother helping her children overcome their wounds, those inflicted by the villain of the piece, Brad Pitt, unnamed but present. Hints as to the grief of separation and divorce. A tragedy she must transform through healing: attentive home schooling, vigilant and ever=present mothering all taking place in the secure setting of a 25,000,000 million dollar estate from which the hum of humanitarian thoughts emirate.
For a woman who professes humility, and a preference for privacy, she seems nonetheless to be in endless pursuit of promotion.
An absurd decision on the part of the Times to give Ms Jolie this kind of attention. I will confess to the reporter providing an ending that was simply hilarious in her reach for an Emily Bronte moment. What drama as they embraced in their bittersweet ooodbye and she "set off into the sun and the heat as the heavy security gate slowly drew shut behind." In this prose, Wuthering Heights embraced Hollywood. Will Heathcliff find Angelina? Let us hope so.

Is there a subject less important than an immensely wealthy actress who, gasp! is getting divorced?

For God's sake. Another commercial for another movie with the usual middle school cliches.

So the Cambodian genocide helped Ms Jolie deal with her marital problems, did it? How wonderful for her that it happened. How could she have coped otherwise?

It is easy to tell, by this picture, that Ms. Jolie has had some work done in terms of her face. I, also, like many of us gentle readers, have been subjected to stories of her lavish lifestyle for years --- with Jon Voight as her father and a model for a mom. To me, she comes across as a pampered, controlling woman who has no bones about breaking apart relationships ( Laura Dern and Billy Bob Thornton come to mind), and leaving a man who no longer fits with her world view at the drop of a hat; in relation to this article, Mr. Pitt.
I find it particularly troublesome to read this article on the same day as I read an article about the elderly dying in a nursing home in Florida, because an air conditioner gave out. The juxtaposition of her wealth and the poverty and anonymity of others is too rich for me to stomach.
I so wish we did not revere these people for their fame and "talent". She, and others like her, such as Madonna, with her "altered' face represent a section of American society that is so vacuous and troublesome. It all just seems a bit much.

She's a nut case !

Beautiful in beige? how can any one be described as beautiful when they have such a nasty cruel mind she shows she has...................next time the PR men come pushing photos and accompanying spiel tell them where to go

Her mental mother raised this mental daughter. she repeats her mother's mistake, it is always men's fault never her fault. Mental disease is uncurable, now she raises mental kids.

I can't stomach her saying so publicly that her children are supporting her through her hard times - with her divorce from their father. Maybe she thinks it's perfectly normal to estrange children from a parent, since that was her experience?

The real news here is that the worryingly thin Ms Jolie has been eating something.

She seemed to enjoy the fried tarantula more than the pretzel.

How many takes do you think they had to do with that pretzel before she got it right?

And each time she spat out the mouthful.

Being slim is one thing, but being a skeleton is not attractive at all.

This is plainly and simply good PR handed to Jolie.Why is the Times playing along? I didn't sign up for this stupidity and hence, expect a partial refund of my subscription.
I've spent many years working with actors, most of whom I've found to be less than interesting–except to themselves. J.D. Salinger's analysis is the best: "I hate actors. They never act like people. They just think they do."

Angelina is trying to fight her way back after her attempt to portray Brad as evil incarnate backfired spectacularly. I had hoped Professor Jolie would expound on her qualifications to teach at the London School of Economics. I wish NYT had sent an objective journalist to interview Angelina instead of this stan who could not stop gushing.

She should be in the next Tim Burton film. He would save a fortune in computer animation.

The front page of the NYT as a free ad for her new movie? That is a power PR machine.

I wish she would disappear with a whoosh of her black caftan.
Celebrity worship is vulgar.

I applaud her ability to view the world's injustices from her Hollywood mansion. It must pain her so. Life is cruel.

How much longer is this "Pity Poor Me Me Me" Single Martyr Publicity Tour going to go on for??

She says the kids "stood by her" implying that they took her side in the divorce. She declared war on their father and then made them choose. That's so twisted and gross.

They didn't get a choice.

And she basically broadcast her willingness to get back with him recently. See the "Taylor and Burton" leaks.

She looks like someone who has picnics in graveyards.

You can't ask for privacy and want to be private and then air dirty linen in talk shows and magazines. Brad turns out to be the better of the two as he revealed zero.

And she still keeps making passive comments. Just stop. children need both parents. especially if both love and want them. She is not a single parent. she is a single mother that has an ex that wants to be with their kids. The children deserve that.

Narcissists always make divorces messy.

She is so fake, there is no one genuine bone in her.

The kids stood by me. You should not be leaning on your young children for emotional support. That is just wrong. Also, did they have a choice. I do not blame Brad for drinking. I would too if I had to put up with her kind of crazy.

Brad was not an alcoholic, everything he said was done for Angelina's sake in order to whitewash her image. His problems are greatly exaggerated, it's unfortunate that some people believe it, but what can you do to the ons, it was his choice.

She's been damaged since childhood and is continuing it with her own children.

The kids of women I've known that divorced and treated the kids like best friends ended up messed up. Probably because these kids felt so responsible to be parenting their mom. Angelina should have adult friends and relatives to confide in during this process. Not her kids who she has on "lockdown".

Omg she actually eats

It's painful to watch this woman parade those children to help her PR image. They are lucky to have Brad Pitt as a caring and involved father despite their mother's machinations to cut him out of their lives. Angelina Jolie has stated those children are her best friends and with her through everything. She forgets to mention those children have no choice. She can't keep friends who aren't paid and her relationships are fraught due to her famously public mental issues and personality disorder.
Meanwhile we all stand by as the kids are thrown to the wind, because she has money and power and the ability to manipulate. Sadly it's likely to end with tell-alls once the kids are grown, but by then it'll be hard to undo the damage of trying to shore up their mother's ego as they spend their childhood in an enforced friendship with a deeply troubled parent.

The generosity and selflessness of charity should be assessed not based on how much one gives, but based on how much one keeps for themselves. Angelina lives in a $25 million home and has multiple such homes. Is it really that impressive if she donates a few million dollars and occasionally flies to third world for photos with orphans, or writes a letter to a magazine about humanitarian issues? I'm more impressed by public school teachers living on paltry salaries and other every day people. Yet Jolie gets profiled in the NYT. Go figure.

Why does she keep parading them around?

Her children are the accessories

She just looks famished these days

Ya she doesn't to healthy, too skinny and lanky.

Y do all her girls look like boys....i mean is ok ...but does she do this to them or what???a child should chose but somehow i feel she makes them dress like this..m

I feel the same way, like she is dead set on having a trans gender child almost like "it's the IN thing" don't tell me that bs that at the ripe old age of 3 the child said they felt like a male trapped in a females body !! Shes warping them like she is !

All the yellow flowers in the world won't help the mental abuse these kids are living with....

Can't wait to read all of their crazy autobiographies in twenty years.

She's so totally out of leveraging herself.

That's why she drags them everywhere no one wants to see her.
