Angelina Jolie Watch

Because I totally agree with this article

Angelina Jolie has come under fire for wearing what is dubbed as ’semi-blackface’ to play the role of Marianne Pearl in the film ‘A Mighty Heart.’ E! Online’s ‘Reel Girl’ Caroline Kepnes blasts Jolie and her hubby Brad Pitt and ‘Plan B productions in a scathing critique of the decision to allow Jolie to transform her look sop much to play Pearl. The film is a biopic about slain journalist Daniel Pearl and his dignified widow, Marianne Pearl.

Every time I see Angelina Jolie in a shot from A Mighty Heart, with her pin curls and her darkened skin, my skin crawls. It just seems wrong. Like, I want to ask Plan B Productions, Why wouldn’t you hire someone who bears even the slightest natural resemblance? Halle Berry could have rocked it as Marianne Pearl. If not, then you take on your white chick, and let her be. Somehow, a prosthetic nose is fine. A fat suit I can handle. But watching Ms. Holier and Sexier Than Thou and Me and Everyone We Know parade around in semi-blackface makes me think something is wrong with the world.

Ouch! Bragelina fans will revolt. She adds, “I am so in agreement with Vogue reader Cristina Migliaccio, whose letter ran in the magazine’s April issue: “The only thing I don’t get is why Angelina tries to perpetuate almost virginal awe and surprise at the circumstances of her very calculated life choices.”"

The film will be shown at the 60th annual Cannes Film Festival which opens Wednesday. Jolie and her boyfriend Brad are expected to attend.

Another “source” says, “They want seven or eight children.�?

Hear that ladies and gentleman? Another biological child. Guess only time will tell!
