she means well, doesn't she?..... however, I think she has a very distorted picture of herself and so, well, so be it. God Bless her for trying to make a difference in the world....like I have heard, she will get bored by staying at home and then the next thing you know, it will be on to something else. Meanwhile, anyone who wakes up in the morning with bright red lipstick beautifully untouched, you got to hand to her- she has it figured out.

I think her heart is in the right. If all the kids are close in age, chances are greater that they will be close.

If they want more kids - more power to them. As long as the kids are happy and healthy, they should be able to have (or adopt) as many as they can (or want).

I think she should have put the brakes on a long time ago. Better yet she should never have been allowed to adopt in the first place. I have never felt she should be around children. She has no morals. She has not changed and I don't feel like she ever will. These children will suffer more with her then if they has never been adopted. I feel very sorry for the children.

If she's such a humanitarian, why not try to keep these children in their home countries? Taking children out of their homeland is a bandaid solution to the problems many third world countries face. She should follow Oprah's lead. There's a person who cares not only for children but for the children's homeland.
If Brangelina needs a hobby, take up knitting or something. Stop collecting babies.

I can't believe people are criticizing Angelina for adopting children who weren't wanted. They are far better off with her than alone in an orphanage for the rest of their lives. Regardless of where she gets her children, she is making some children very happy in a life they could only dream of.

will there ever be a day when BP is just going to wake up and say, you know what, you're ugly to me and I hate this life, i need more houses and more money and i don't want your kids anymore and so hasta luago?...and then what will happen to the family if that happens. He has a reputation for dumping and is very good at it so it seems.

If anyone thinks she is doing this out of the goodness of her heart, think again. Her career is shot so she is collecting children. She does need a hobbie. Maybe she should collect men, wait a minute she already does.

I stand with JW --- who knows what would have happened to the kids if she had not taken them --- the little girl , Zahara , was dying and Jolie saved her -- I heard she spent thousands on medical care for her . Look how well and healthy she looks today .

When Brad and Angelina adopt a child, they are not only giving them a life that they would not otherwise have had... but in some cases probably saving their lives. The African child might have contracted and died from AIDS, their most recent child, Pax, would likely have been turned away from the orphanage at the age of 7 to live on the streets. Regardless of their morals (or lack their of) they are giving these children life. What could be more important than that?

Angelina will be the one to answer for all the bad and immoral things she has done. That includes adopting these kids for all the wrong reasons. She will eventually move on to something or someone else that is of interest to her. The kids will most likely be left to fin for themselves. What a shame.

people using moral to trash other beings are usually hateful , i feel very sorry for them.
i know that all the haters have being waiting for years that angie and brad split. the truth shows them wrong every day and i undsterdand why haters turn bitter every day, again, i'm very sorry for you.

angelina have shown more than once that she is a courageous and caring person. she has all my respect for that.

i think it's great that she'll take some time to stay at home with the kids, i just hope she won't do it for to long since she's also so useful all around the world.

god bless angelina' family and (her haters too, for they really need their soul to find peace)

It all boils down to one thing. Angelina is thumbing her nose at all the people that have trashed her. She knows what kind of rep she has now. So she is using these children as a way of saying I can do this and you can't. Look at me, kiss my A@@. Brad just sits there with his finger in his ear thinking OMG what have I done.

hahaha aj, that's called wishfull thinking!

respect and love for brad and angie just grow bigger every day around the world

and btw, be careful for wishing bad things to people, usually bring bad things to you ;)

take care, anyway

Well, unless they are gonna adopt me I really don't care. Whoa, that sounded selfish. I meant, please save the children.

I have watching the pros and cons of the Jolie-Pitt adoptions and a good part of them are pros . She sure did get a good review on the CNN celeb news .

AJ is one pissed off b!tch. I have to agree with the above comment she is doing this because she can and for no other reason. This is a very sick game for her. I do hope these children will be taken care of. I can't believe Brad would let anything happen to them. But I do believe that he will get enough of this and leave her and the children. I don't think the children will be able to hold him forever. He has done this before and he will do it again.

Of course she got a good review with CNN. She is most likely sleeping with the producer. It's not hard for bad people to get good reviews at CNN.

The kids will have plenty of money. I wish I'd been adopted by wealthy people! I agree that Angelina is a whore but who cares?

ah! the haters are awaken , did you get a good breakfast my bitter friends!
with all the bitterness your feeding yourself, be carful of heartburn, don't forget a daily dose of pepto-bismol.

as for angie and brad, they're so in love and in tune, that you'll have to wait some more decades for them to split ;)

Boy mel you sure do take this seriously. Get a grip, lighten up. It's just a silly blog with silly opinions. Who really cares what the B!tch does.

Is doing a good thing for, allegedly, the wrong reason really so bad? In the end, a good thing is still being done.

An example: I manage to get myself adopted by the Jolie-Pitts not for their love and affection, but for their money. I pay off nearly $100K in student loans early, which renews the faith lenders have in students to repay their loans, increasing the supply of funding for students everywhere!

well , :) i'm sure happy for you that your hateful feelings are fake and just for fun (you sure have hobbies that look weird to me, lol) !

take care,

To Mel don't be such a KA to those cheaters like Brad Pitt, once a cheat always a cheat.

Now see mel that wasn't so hard to lighten up.

mm, i don't know what a ka is.
and until proven he is a cheater, well, brad is not.

:) yes, you're right :), i'm so easy cheer up, lol . even haters succed at this with me , double lol

Well good for you mel. I'm sure all the haters will breath a sigh of relief. I'm not a hater, but i sure feel relieved.

I think that brad and Angie are good for eachother. I don't think Brad is unhappy nor is she. Let them adopt all the kids they want. Those kids have it better than you or I do.

It's either one of 2 things:

1. She has a really really good PR person. Brittany should hire him/her. And that person is telling her, "Hey, you just adopted another kid...maybe it'd be a good idea and you hang around a while and get to know him. He did bawl his head off when he first saw you."
2. She's a loving and giving person and she really knows that this is what's best for her kids.

I hope it's number 2.

Not a doubt in my mind that Brangelina won't be together FOREVER. Doesn't matter, since kids have won the lottery. I'd rather be rich trailer trash (like Brangelina and Britney) than poor trailer trash.

I can't help but feel that she's "shopping" for children..."well, let's see, I think I'll have another Asian one, and then I'll have to get another black one, etc.etc."

Oh yes, I forgot about the poor little "boring blob" named Shiloh. The most exquisite baby I ever saw, but don't envy her, folks...she's going to feel like a perpetual outsider in that family. Only exotics need apply.

I do not admire Angelina in any way, she is a very unstable person. I hope she will get some help. These children are just a way to get attention. I also think she is very bored with Brad now and needs something to occupy her time. It is obvious she lives in her own weird world. A world where you can do as you please no matter what the consequence's, no matter who gets hurt even little children.

Since she can't act, you think maybe that was the real Angelina. Any wonder why she won the SA award.

stay at home mom? I find that hard to believe.

If im not mistaken, i believe we still have children right here in America in need of homes. Did she forget about them or is this really just for publicity?

She has made it very clear she does not like the US. So I guess that means she would not adopt an American child. She seems to not even like her own bio child. She made sure Shiloh was not born in the US. She has a lot of issues. What was Brad thinking. I guess we all know the answer to that. I'm sure he can see what he is into now.

lol at bonnie. i guess so and she didnt even wait til shiloh was a yr old and she adopted another child? what is she going to tell all the kids when they look at each other n they start asking questions. dont get me wrong adoption is all fine and good but shes going all out ya think?

its not i hate her bc lord knows i dont need a response from the other people who have nothing better to do than start a commnet war on here lol. i just think she should have waited awhile before her own baby was at least one or two before adopting again. i dont hate her at all for what shes doing i just dont agree with some things and im not a hater for that and opinions are like belly buttons everyone has one and you cant judge people for their thoughts.

WHO.
FICKIN.
CARES??????
She'll stay home for the 2.5 seconds that she needs to be out of the limelight but then she'll be baaaaaack....

well hmm, she sure has devoted an awful lot of her time to tromping around in dusty villages talking to local folks, sitting on airplanes traveling to poor countries, meeting with officials and trying to get laws, etc. changed... and on and on. Soooo... ummm... just curious... what have Y'ALL DONE this past year to enrich the world and fight to change the injustice???? Hmmmm????

its amazing that people can prioritize the value of a child in the US versus a child born elsewhere in the world...I hope none of those people never/don't have children.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i love how everyone posts things like "she's immoral", "she'll never change", she's this, she's that...hello, have you ever met her in person. do you actually know her on a personal level or only what the media writes. ever heard the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover'?
have any of you who think she is trash never done ANYTHING bad in the past or changed your life in some way? people can change and you cannot judge someone you know absolutely nothing about other than what the media feeds you.

You said it all "get real" ! Cheers to you .

if you have ever been poor i mean really poor where you can't afford to buy your childern a meal,then you really would be affended by people like her and oprah.try to go get some help here and see what you can get.no pity thats for sure.nobody gives a dam for the kids here in the u.s. rather give it to the kids overseas make them look so much better i guess.

Jolie should get hitched & don that apron now!

ANGELINA JOLIE
HATES THE
UNITED STATES
Lets buy her a one way ticket out, so we can clean up the air.

the reality is, she isn't going anywhere because the media feeds right into her. She is no role model, period, but rather she is a media grubbing celebrity who puts herself into the spotlight so she can show herself off and look like a gift of God. People that look at adoption as a good thing for them and for the well being of a child does not look up to her, for what reason would they?

Now, when she was sucking blood from her husband, Billy Bob Thornton,... that is role model behavior!

angelina is great,
and i feel sorry for all the haters among you.

Angelina has grown up to be a responsible and wonderful person with a mission. She is UN Ambassor and has spent millions to help people who would otherwise die. She has found her purpose and mission in life. She uses the fame to help the most unfortunate people in the world - who live in poverty that we cannot fathom. Many other actors and actress are joining in after watchinng Angie. Their friend George Clooney and many other actors are are now aware of Durfur because of the One Foundation, Nets because of Angie - I have - have you?

Have you heard of St. Paul?? He killed Christians before he was converted and then became one of the most famous Christians ever.

I cannot believe what I'm reading - you people are scary (and maybe jealous)? What have you done to help????

Angelina said she cried for 1 year after seeing the poverty that she never knew existed. It was a life changing experience and she couldn't sit and do nothing. She's following her heart and helping - God Bless her!!!

I have heard Jolie changed and "grew up" after she adopted her first child and Thornton deserted her . If anyone is a creep -- he is ! As for her father -- he walked out on the family -- I guess I would harbor hard feelings , too .

Angelina is a mean, selfish, money grubbin, media lovin piece of white trash. BOO HOO HOO, I'll cry for one year for all you Angelina lovin fans.

boo hoo hoo, boo hoo hoo! see I'm crying too....for all those that need a home, boo hoo hoo.............................

all the way to her her agent!

We should be happy for people who like to help others instead of seing the bad side of things.So i bealive she is doing a great job of raising 4 children i barely can raise 2.

I, like, Beth, think that those of you who are criticizing Angelina are most likely-- if you are really honest with yoursleves-- jealous. She is doing good. She is allowing her celebrity to shine the light on issues that matter. She has demonstrated her morals via her actions. And no woman can "steal" a man unless he himself wants to be "stolen"--people change, and the kid thing was an issue for him and Jennifer..
... people have a tendency to either glorify or villify beautiful women.

When someone beatiful and caring and FAMOUS steps onto the scene, often she is a target for those who have not done enough in their own lives, who are disempowered or insecure in some way-- physically,emotionally, who knows. ...

... online stuff like this is a real problem. We are not privvy to Angelina's and Brad's inner thoughts. It is presumptuous and crude to assume that you know them or their intentions.

Please, back off and let good things happen. Enough with the criticism! kathleen

You hit the nail on the head. You said it best.

i'm retarred, of course.. i. i know i spelled it rong, i am retarrded but who else would love vagina jolia. you has to be retarredet.

I think it's funny that some of you say things like "he did not cheat" or "they love each other" as if you are privy to this information. Remember tabloids are half make believe. All I know for sure is that she has a new born daughter that should be given a little more time to be the "baby". Having a new child so soon isn't the most beneficial situation to any of the children. She is the new Mia Farrow. We are not haters, Mel sounds like the most bitter person on here! Jealous? Of what? I am happily married with 3 great kids and financially secure, without a camera in my face. I wouldn't change lives with them!

I applaud AJ for her decision on being a stay-at-home mom....and even if she does decide to jump into part time work, "she's got plenty of $$$ to acquire the best Nannies possible!"

it seems that i stroke the right cord in you 'not too shabby' ;)

take care,

I think that if she wants to continue adopting children then thats exactly what she should do. Who are we to tell her she shouldnt? There is no reason to believe that she is a horrible mother. There is no EVIDENCE of anything other than how much she loves and adores her kids and her family. If she wants to extend that family with 3 more I salute her! She has done such wonderful things for this world, and will continue to do them. If all of us were more like her... we could certainly make this world a better place.

My info from New Orleans say they are "hands on" parents .

Don't get a "hands on" rumor started. It could be true.

I love this beautiful family. Those kids could tear up my lawn, and I would just invite their folks over for "HOT coffee". Is this right? Not at all. It is just the way it is.

As in every day life, there are people who are jealous of those more beautiful inside and out. They should look inside themselves and find the beauty for themselves. Why continue to berate Angeline for Brad leaving Jen! I wish nobody was hurt but it happens. If she has a heart for children, no matter what the reason, God bless her, and the children. She can afford to take care of them. I do hope she makes more movies though as I feel she is very talented.

You don't know what poor is until you go outside the United States. Yes, there are needy children here. But it is easier to adopt in other countries.

To Poor Angelina (the person who posted above).

Where do you get your facts? Careful what you criticize about others, for one day it could be you in their shoes, or maybe you're really just feeling that about yourself. Nonetheless,why doesn't everyone just stop judging people's good intentions...none of your business anyway...! =)

Hey while you haters are sitting at your computer typing about how much you hate Angelina, she is coming back from another country to bring a little boy to his new home. If it wasn't for her, he'd still be sitting there..with no family..no kisses...no hugs...She isn't that bad. Be optimistic people!

makes quite a bit of money off of these magazines. the last photos of the new orphan, paid 2 million. she seems like another howard stern, selling every aspect of their lives. she does donate some of it to charity but it's really not her money. she will never get rich off of her movies. she loves the press and the limelight a little too much i think. As long as there are orphans to adopt, she will make a buck and have a headline!!

I think the people who dont like AJ it's coz she's so different in so many ways... it's scary for you to just imagine that there could possibly be another way to think, to live and be even better of + also doing good for so many others! AJ has taken on the responsibilities of making the world a better place for her kids and those in need around the world... and she's become a happier more beautiful person ever since! What's in her past should be left in her past... everyone deserves a chance... and she's more than proven herself worthy of admiration and respect.

This situation is all wierd. It's ok to help children and all but why does she always have to go to 3rd world countries? Yeah they have poverty but so do we, we have kids here who need good homes also. And why in the world is she never holding her own child? Does anyone remember the comments she made about her own daughter? That she's a blob and was born into a life of privledge that sickens her? Well adopting them is bringing them to the same life except hers was born to it. It's not natural the comments she makes about her own child.

Look, IM FROM A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY and believe me, children in the orphanage which are left by their parents are not wanted by their parents, from my lifetime experience here, watching rejected orphans with NO SOLID, NOT EVEN ENOUGH FUNDS FOR EDUCATION,FOOD,MEDICINE, SOMETIMES WATER and ELECTRICITY and EVEN good hygiene, ITS GOOD Angelina adopts children. They at least will be clothed and fed and will study. You have no idea of their lives, crying with hunger and disease.I agree that ALL WHO NEEDS HELP NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE SHOULD BE HELPED, but, matters are much, much, much, much worse in third world countries. I am proud to be who I am, but I cannot deny the situation. Worst of all, unadopted kids here when they leave they grow to be gang members, beggars, commit petty crimes and big crimes, drugs, prostitution and even death. In fact here, child labor and slavery is common and ignored!There is no happy ending most of the time. Its good that Angelina is being a good example for many, I thank her.

to Maria... don't you think it would be more sincere for her to simply just donate her millions for the betterment of several adoption shelters here in the good old USA where she obviously earned all that $$$$$$ instead of handpicking a few from other countries and raising them up wearing designer outfits and matching handbags???

i fear that all these kids are just going to end up like most hollywood kids... "IN REHAB" most of their adolescent lives!!!

as for jolie being a stay-home-mom --- YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!that woiuld be the day... this woman needs to expose herself (and unfortunately subjects the kids) to all these flashing lights as her means of "GETTING HIGH"!!!!

isn't it obvious that she is just adopting all these kids to fill up her VOID and to win public sympathy (other than her gullible current man.) she can not even take good care of herself and her own biological child!!!

i come from a third world country too and i am helping love ones everywhere (HERE and HOME...)

here's to not too shabby... when you said that jolie is the new mia farrow, my thoughts froze for a while and said to myself --- oh no... i wonder who BsPITT is going to end up with??? it's quite unthinkable (just like what woody and that asian girl did to mia... GROSSSSSSSSSSS!!!)

to think that if something like that happened to two of the most respected actor and actress in hollywood... what more to this "GRUESOME TWOSOME"??? probably it would happen the other way around... and who do you think "the weirdo lesbo" will end up with??? your guess is as good as mine!!! AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CARAAAAAAAAAAAAMBA!!!
