She's a little 'out there', but she's a very nice girl......... and one heck of a turn-on.

"Angelina's adopting as a single mother and she wants that emphasized," the source told People.
I am not against adoption, I applaud it. But, this seems a bit odd to me.

Good for her. As much as I don't like her weird lifestyle, I think a person has to have a good spirit to do something like this. I don't think I could love a child that probably is going to die.

Yes you could, it would just break your heart and like me, you're just not built for obvious heartbreak. Life has enough heartbreak without taking on a heartbreak we can see coming.
I admire AJ for her strength. She's a better person than I.

Good for her! Nice to see celebrities putting their money where thier mouth is. Except in the case of Sally Struthers. Orphans go in her home, they don't come out...
"Got any more *BURP!*... orphans?!?"
Jes' funnin', y'all...

I can't help thinking that she's collecting kids like they are some kind of LLadro trinket. I guess it's better to be Jolie's pet than live in dump of a country.

Actually, the article doesn't say that the baby has AIDS, just that it was orphaned by AIDS (either one or both of the parents died from AIDS). Still, a very kind and generous action by Angelina.
To: phoenix_004
Wow! Going from Etiopian AIDs orphan to Lifestyles of Rich and Famous Babies in days. I hope the dear child's nanny can cope. But first, "Will somone get the collagen injection guy to the set please?"

I guess it's better to be Jolie's pet than live in dump of a country. I don't follow the lifestyles of the rich and famous, so I don't know... Is Angelina Jolie particularly self-absorbed and neglectful of her children? Or are you just painting with a broad brush?
She's not really my ideal woman, but this seems to be a wonderful thing for her to do. She will transform this child's life.

It's definitely a good thing that she adopted the children. The children are far better off with ther than where they were. I just think the kids are going to build poor character from Jolie's immorality, arrogance and elitism.

FoxNews also reported that she donates one-third of her gross earnings to relief efforts. She does put her money where her collagen is!

I may not agree with some of her political views, but Angelina Jolie's heart is in the right place.

One-third? That's pretty impressive. Still not my cup of tea as an actress, but you have to respect that!

I take it from this publicity puff piece that Jolie's latest movie is struggling a bit at the box office.
