Why is this news? The NEWS would be if Brad Pitt issued a statement of disdain for Angelina.
“Why is this news?”
Precisely. So why waste time posting it here?
I was berated by freepers ye4sterday for pointing this out on a thread.
here Jolie and pitt are with Obama

These liberals mean to enslave us to their big goverment. The news media of course took the hand off and made this top news.
I can hardly wait to see the future augmentation that will be employed.
This is an episode that is worthy of Lara Cropped.
Liberalism is truly insane. Amazons cut off their right breasts in mythology , and rejected men. Brad Spitt had better be looking over his shoulder.
Should have put a smokescreen to hide the IRS scandal alert on it.
I’m in awe of Jon Voight—he’s cool!
She cut off both boobs because she MIGHT get cancer? Why stop there? Remove a lung, stomach intestine. I mean, you never know.
She wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal so evidently she wanted it out there.
But dag, all day, all damn DAY every news leads with Angie and her boobs.
THEN, because this isn’t enough, every celeb what had the same thing then becomes the subject of endless interviews and sheesh Louise....enough already.
My question is how much did the genetic screening and subsequent prophylactic mastectomy set the Jolie-Pitts back? Moreover, are these procedures covered by Obamacare? If they aren’t, I suppose it means the this kind of “courage” is reserved for the multimillionaire film star class. Real courage is being afflicted with cancer, undergoing brutal chemo, losing all of your hair and still getting up in the morning to make the kids breakfast and going out to work, do the shopping, etc. Thousands of women are doing this in the US, but because they don’t look like supermodels, the media couldn’t care less.
I had this amazing great aunt named Bethel and she had a single mastectomy many many many years ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Instead of calling the newspapers like Angelina Jolie she kept it very quiet. When she passed away recently, we discovered that she arranged to have a closed casket. She told my mom, she knew the ladies in her bridge club had a bet on which breast she had removed and she took delight in the fact that they would be denied the last opportunity to attempt a discrete "feel" to determine the bet winners! She was such a delightful and feisty woman!
I don’t necessarily disagree. Thing is that there are hundreds of thousands of other women just like her that made the same decision. Any woman who chooses that is heroic not just a famous actress.
not sure self-mutilation as a contingency is such a good idea, but it sure makes a great distraction from teh real news of the day....
Brad Pitt ...six kids....He should shut up & marry her.
She is not heroic. She is a fool.
Yawn. Tired of Hollywood types who think they’re more important than the average American.
He’ll be running around on her soon.
she is still a skank
The word heroic has seen better days. It used to mean accomplishing feats no ordinary mortal could. These days, it’s devolved towards meaning not committing suicide upon being afflicted with a potentially terminal disease. By the old standard, I personally knew just one hero - a WWII Army Ranger who earned a Bronze Star with V device for his service in Europe. By the current standard, I know dozens of heroes, given that it now means anyone who’s ever dealt with a serious disease.
