Angelina Breastfeeds for All the World to See!
There it is, folks -- the cover of the November issue of W magazine, featuring a photo of Angelina Jolie, taken by Brad Pitt. Oh yeah, and she's breastfeeding.
I happen to think, from a photo perspective, that is a great shot. Kind of raw, really natural -- love the black and white. But, what I'm really interested in (it makes my day!) is hearing what you think -- because I know you've all got an opinion either way.

While I think it is a beautiful, natural picture, I am just not sure that it belongs on the cover of a magazine? I commend AJ for taking the time to breastfeed her children; so many women today just can't be bothered. Again, gorgeous picture; not on a magazine. Just my opinion.
This is an amazing picture. She looks much more beautiful as she looks much more natural. I also think this belongs on the front of a magazine. It shows that she's just a normal mother looking after her children. I'm not normally a fan of the Jolie-Pitts but more of this kind of thing and I think I might just change my mind.
Media whores...what a coincidence that she has a movie coming out soon. These two move to other countries because they don't want to be bothered by the paps, and then THE MINUTE they have a new movie out (which they want all Americans to spend their hard earned money on), they're all over the magazines and newspapers. These two would SELL their children to further their careers...they're a joke!
I love the pic. She could so easily call in a case of formula and make the nannies feed her babies but she's doing it. There just isn't anything that this young lady can't do. She is nothing short of amazing. She does it all and looks graceful and loving during so. My wee one wouldn't take to breastfeeding, or maybe I didn't try hard enough, and that was hard. I felt like, and still do, that I missed out on something wonderful and beautiful. And she's 10! Cover of a magazine worthy or not, we all want to see it and we're grateful for them to share it. Thanks.
Angelina u go girl, this is why brad keeps coming back for more and why ur #1 sexy lady. Betcha like my husband he couldn't keep his lips off u; my husband was so turned on my his beautiful wife breastfeeding, one breast for baby n one for papa.Brad keep taking those snapshots man, this is ur lady, Jennifer Anniston take lessons this is what it means to be passionate with ur man, ur 2 frigid.LOVE the Jolie-Pitts...
Why are we talking about this? I truly don't get it. I think it's a beautiful picture and the controversy makes no sense to me.
JD~haven't you realized by now: Not only do we skip past all this gibberish, the IVillage blog police are going to delete your asinine comment??? Besides, why is it that you only comment with this crap on topics of Angelina Jolie? What are you a glutton for punishment or are you just used to being pushed aside and ignored?
This is a beautiful picture. JW why isn't it appropriate on the cover of a woman's magagzine? We have magazines where celebs are naked or damn near naked and let's not forget the one's where celebs posed very pregnant AND naked. Life is about evolving and having an open mind not voicing what is or is not appropriate.
Your opinion is duly noted.
I think it is a beautiful picture of Angelina. She is only a person. It is a beautiful picture/art piece.
Life is not about having an open mind for everyone. It happens to be for you. Life is different for different people.
Jolie does everything for all the world to see. That is the only way to keep herself in the media. She certainly can't do it for with her movies. She is a disgusting human being and Brad is nothing more than her bitch now. Remember the french kiss she gave her brother for all the world to see? She was disgusting then and she is disgusting now.
tracy~ once again, step away from her ass and stop your butt sniffin to get hits. The only person you hurt is your idol Jolie.
More hate her than like her. The more people hear about them, the more people tend to hate them. They are too public with their private lives. What are they trying to prove anyway? They are trying to prove that she is not a slut and she did not destroy marriages and break hearts by spreading her legs to get what she wants. That is fact and she has hurt too many people to ever be able to offer anything to society or her own children for that matter. She is a horrible role model for anyone. The only thing she has ever been able to offer a man is sex. Brad will tire of the mess he got his self into and he will leave her someday. It will happen people...

She will stop at nothing to keep her name out there. They know they are fading and they are oh so desperate for attention. This mag cover could not make that anymore obvious. I love it! They are so done and they know it!
You go Kev. I agree with everything you said.
You go Kev. I agree with everything you said, and a lot of what others said too. All AJ, and now Brad her "b***h" wants is media attention. Why do you think she adoppted all those kids, and you seen them more than her own biologcial daughter Shiloh. Let's see how much we see of the twins?
Kev is sooooo correct in his post. Couldn't have said it better myself. New movie, new news about their private lives. The movie will fail just like everything else she has tried to do since she broke Brad & Jens hearts!
Whoa, I think a lot of you are being so negative. For what? So many haters. What have they done to deserve such mean comments? Truly ask yourselves that.
Like I put in my on another one of your dumb topics. I know I don't want to see the milk cow with her 2 ugly little baboons hanging off her tits.
I think it's beautiful, I almost shed a tear for goodnes sake. It's so sweet how she is trying to make America remember what's natural and what's important.
I do like the pic, although I'm not a big fan of her in movies. I agree that maybe it should be on an inner page but nothing's really showing'
I wonder why he doesn't marry her, after having THREE kids with her, etc. He always wanted to marry all his other girlfriends.
Regarding the breastfeeding, I was at a school, teaching, where the teacher had her husband deliver her baby to her in the staffroom every day, and she pulled out the ol' breast for all of us to try not to look at while we were eating!! Verrrrry uncomfortable! He even returned again after school for more breastfeeding, in the event of staff meetings (the husband stayed too!)! Oh yes, and students were wandering in and out while all this was going on. She always seemed to have the MOST open place to do it in, also! Wierd!!
It is an ok pic, but does NOT belong on a cover!!
NOT THE PLACE..........REALLY!
Those of you who have negative opionions regarding Angie and Brad, it appears that you spend soo much time hating becsause you don't have what they do. Sounds like a classic case of jealousy.
Boomer-If the topics are soo dumb, why do you even respond? Obviously they are important enough to warrant your opinion. If you don't want to see, then don't look.
They could try to keep themselves private, like a lot of celebs do, but they would only end up being exploited. By staying public with the basics on their life, they protect themselves from that.
Only among Americans is this photo even an issue. In Europe, it would not receive press. We are so naive. And Jolie's motivation is so American: anything to keep her face on a mag cover.
In a million years from now who will care.Let it be. It's now.
As a mom who breastfed and considering the tragedy of formula tainted by melamine I think she is an example to all. She looks, happy, relaxed, beautiful and full of love.
Yes, Jolie is a fame whore...they all are...that is their job..however, she is bringing breastfeeding into the spotlight...and it's about time...there is no substitute for breastmilk. Formula...any kind, anywhere is a poor substitute...Thank you Brad and Angelina (you fame whores) you are making a difference!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!! On a mag, in her home, in a store, no matter where it's a wonderful natural thing! Babies have to eat too, we sit in restaurants eating in public, babies can too!!
Angie is a very unstable women. I think she is too harsh on her Dad, which goes to show how well she can have a stable relationship with any man!. Has she ever apologized to the awesome actress and person "Laura Dern"? for running off and marrying her fiancee, Billy Bob Thorton. I think she feeds on hurting other women and I blame her mother for instilling anger and holding a grudge towards her father " Jon Voight. He tried to show how much he loved his daughter by pleading for forgiveness and how concerned he was about her life. Give him a break AJ!. Yes, Brad Pitt you are acting like her bitch and I feel it would be a very bad idea to be married to her. All those kids she strapped you with in such a short-time, she's using you until she has another "hair up her ass" to have something else and who cares what anybody want's but her.Angelina, you need intensive therapy for the rest of your life and some religon could help some too. So run Brad,run, before she completely takes away your self-esteem and sanity.
She needs to stay in the limelight, and he isn't much of a husband to show the world intimiate parts of his wife. She as many others have no selfpride and will show their bodies to the camera for dollars! There's a time and place for everything, it's a shame how this world and people have so little morals.
I think this is a stunningly beautiful, artsy, natural memory that brad has managed to capture pricelessly.... however, the mere fact that "we" (myself included ashamedly) are "commenting" on whether or not this is appropriate on a magazine cover is a testiment to how shamelessly we feel we even have the right to!
it's a very amazing one, jollie knows the importance of breastfeeding. she's just an ideal mom.even angelina who is very famous lend time for her babies to breastfeed her babies.it should be a great example for all mothers out there who dont even care to breastfeed their babies....
Only Angie knows the reason for the picture...I was told many years ago when i had my first of eventually 4 babies that breast milk is the very best for the new born for many reasons ...although it was a little painful at first and soon got the hang of it...I did have 4 wonderful healthy happy babies, none had alleries or screaming fits or angry either...of course i was a better Mother since getting the sleep and rest needed and so did they....Unfortunately years ago too many relatives felt breast feeding was not to be either seen or spoken of and they always herded me away to a room buy myself and wouldn't even allow their children near me...like it was something wrong or dirty somehow...Glad Angie is surrounded by enough love and positive people i hope and pray that she only feels good about this wonderful experience...Forgot to mention that its faster and better healing for the Mother also and at age 77 knock on wood am still healthy and happy...surely must have gone thru the "Change of Life" by this time as i also never suffered except for suffering thru some negative relationships..Continued blessing to u Angie and Brad and wonder why u are so afraid of a legal commitment...there really is a difference and maybe I'll write a book about how this commitment made a difference in others lives...When God wants it for us...thats good enough for me!! Ciao, NJ
YOU GO GIRL................... YOU LOOK BEAUIFULL AND BE PROUD OF IT... I HAD FIVE CHILDERN AND NOW THERE ALL GROWN UP... AND I BREASTFEED ALL OF THEM... GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY... SHOW THE WORLD WHAT GOD GAVE YOU TO USE THEM FOR...HAHAHAH BYE................
IT IS A PRIVATE THING AND I FEEL THE PICTURE IS IN VERY POOR TASTE.
OMG! YOU GO ANGELINA AND BRAD!
HOW BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THIS.
I LOVE YOU!
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it an absolutely breath taking photo of a beautiful Mother doing a very natural thing. I do not understand what the big deal is. Sad that our society has a problem with a picture like this of a Mother providing nutrition to her child, while if this was Brad's hand on her breast that would more than likely be more acceptable to the vast majority of America.

I think she is Beautiful! It is a natural thing to breast feed your child. There are to many people in this world today who are to dang consious about what is right and what is wrong. She is in her natural state, no makeup, no hairstyle, just beautiful. I commend her and Brad for being the best parents they could possibly be. I think we should all just mind our OWN business and ya know this world just may be a better place. Go ahead Angie, feed that baby.....Lots of Luv to you and the children!
What a natural thing for a woman to do...Over the years we have started to hide how a woman feeds her child...Back over a hundred years ago, this type of thing wouldn't have bothered people...But, over the years we've been told that it's not natural for women to do this in public...I love it and it's sharing with out children something that is natural, not forbidden...Hurray for W Magazine...Hurray for Brad and Angeline
i think it is great there is nothing wrong with it and i think if anyone has a problem with it trun your head and so keep it up and good luck to you and brad
Last time I checked Magazine covers are for selling magazines!!
Goal accomplished...well done W
Why do people make something that is so beautiful and natural into something dirty and unclean? This is all because when people see boobs they think sex. And in some minds sex is still dirty and unpure. They see nakedness as dirty when there should be nothing to be ashamed of. And to think that some people would put breastfeeding a child into the same catagory as dirty and unpure. I don't understand why that is. If you see a cat or dog feeding their kittens or puppies is that dirty? No why because it is a part of life. Just as a human mother feeding her child is a part of life.
Breast feeding your baby is the most natural thing in the world, and it is one of the best feelings. Nothing makes you feel closer to your baby and it's also the best food to give to your baby. I applaud Angelina for giving her twins the best food she can give them. Despite her hectic work schedule, traveling all over the world, and raising 4 other children, she put her babies first. She could have easily hired a nanny and formula-fed them, letting someone else take care of her children. But she chose to be their mother and do it all with the help of their father. Good for her!! I love this picture. It's so natural and you can see the happiness in her eyes. Remember Brad is the one behind the camera. Those eyes and that smile is all for him. You can see the love she has for her man and her children.

WOW STUNNING TOOK MY BREATHE AWAY !I DONT THINK PEOPLE (HATERS)GET HOW HARD BREAST FEEDING IS OR CAN BE I SHOULD SAY AND SHE S FEEDING BOTH CHILDREN THATS NOT A WOMEN SEEKING ATTENTION FOR A NEW MOVIES THATS RIDICULOUS TO EVEN BOTHER SAYING ,THEY HELP SO MANY PEOPLE AND WHO CARES WHY !THEY DO IT THATS THE MAIN FOCUS !BUT SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO NATURAL AND LOOKS SO VERY HAPPY SHE HAS NEVER LOOKED MORE HEALTHY! WHICH IS A FAR CRY FROM WHAT SHE USED TO LOOK LIKE WHICH WAS ALWAYS GORGEOUS BUT NOW SHE IS HEAVENLY!ONLY A MAN IN LOVE COULD HAVE CAPTURED SUCH A MASTER PEICE SHOT OR EXPERT PHOTOGRAPHER !CONGRADULATIONS AND HUSBANDS OUT THERE TAKE NOTE LOOK AT THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN AND FIND THE BEAUTY REALLY LOOK!
I don't get all the negativity from some of you people. This is a beautiful picture. Being a nursing mother right now myself, I think it makes me feel good because I can connect with it. It also makes Angelina Jolie a little more normal. I don't view it as just a publicity stunt. There's a difference when a photograph is being taken with your consent and when you're being hunted after by psychos just to get your picture. Looking at what Brad and Angelina have done in the past, the money for this picture probably went to a charity anyway.
That photo is an outstanding example of a mother's deep love for her baby and the eyes show a connection with her man after childbirth, I love the look of love in her eyes, they truly are saying more than words could ever say! I hope they find complete happiness with their new and ever growing family. Bless you both, and my GOD continue to shine his love upon the entire family.
I dont see what all the hype was about. Seriuosly, BFD that Angelina Jolie breast feeds and its on a magazine cover. Had it been someone not so famous, I doubt anyone would have taken notice. I dont get the negativity you wouldnt even be able to tell that she was breastfeeding if her breast wasnt hanging out. I like the fact that this picture was chosen for the cover, W stirred up a controversy and it looks like it worked. Im sure their site got a lot of hits : ) Nice Job!
what can i say??? all for the love of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!! I WONDER WHAT THEY'LL DO NEXT??? WHY DON'T THEY JUST VANISH??????????????????
I LOVE IT, Brad caught her at a tender moment, a mother nursing her child.I just love it!! god bless them
OH PLEASE PEOPLE..QUIT ACTING LINE JOLIE THE WHORE IS SO INNOCENT AND LOVING...SHE AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOMEWRECKER SLUT AND EVIL BITTCH.....NONE OF THE DONATION SHE GIVES REALLY MATTERS..SHE ONLY DOES IT SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY TAX...A GOOD WAY TO DO IT AND ALL THAT ADOPTING IS BECAUSE SHE'S AFRAID BRAD WON'T LOVE HER LIKE HE LOVED JENNIFER. BUT OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW BRAD WILL ALWAYS LOVE JENNIFER AND JOLIE CAN'T REPLACE THAT SO SHE HAS TO GO AND DO ALL THESE PITY LITTLE STUFF TO KEEP BRAD...SORRY JOLIT PITT LOVERS...BUT SOONER OR LATER THIS RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO BE DOOM AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AND LAUGH IN EVERYBODY'S FACE....
HELLO! this is a very beautiful cover. she looks radiant and so much a loving mother and kind hearted lady. shame on all of those that did not aprove. she is a very talented actress and very natural beauty on film or photos. god bless her and her family forever!
I think it is Beautiful and Breastfeeding is and should be advertized for all the world to see...I personally believe people who formula feed should stay in secret,I mean how gross is that.Do whats natural and (Breastfeed)..Way to go A.J. Great pic,I can't think of anything better to be on a magazine cover.By the way your Beautiful and you two (B.P.)are the perfect couple..KUDOS
There is nothing wrong, here.....it is a beautiful, natural moment, caught by a loving husband.....kudos for Angelina, and healthier for her babies, for their immune system!!When Demi Moore exposed her beautiful, bare, and pregnant belly, on the cover of a famous magazine, i was blown away!!!!!!!!!
Good for them!!!! they are sexy and powerful in their statements!!!!!!!!!!love, Alex.....xxoo
Beautiful.
OOh, still pimping the kids out, I see. " Private Pics" hahaha, those ppl are insane!!
It is so refreshing to see Angelina in such a raw format. In media photos she is so made up. And she is still beautiful in this photo!
Anjalina Jolie and Brad are not getting less famous and they aren't whores or other crap u ppl call them they just want 2 show the world that thats how u shld treat it and the ppl who hate on anjalina are the exact ppl who aj is trying to show. its dum. how cld u say they're getting less famous? in fact the reason they even are so famoust is y she is even on the magazine b cuz every magazine put FAMOUS ppl on their covers. DUH!!! they dont need more than they already have.
dont u see anjalina is NOT pulling stunts 2 keep brad. they love each other b cuz they both have the same minds. they both care about the world and the children in it. OH YEA IF BRAD LOVED JENNIFER SOOOOOO MUCH WHY DID HE LEAVE HER IN THE FIRST PLACE????!!!! NO REASON AT ALLL IT SHOWS THAT BRAD MOVED ON!!! THAT HE REALIZED JENNIFER IS GOING NOWHERE AND PROBABLY DOESNT CARE BOUT THE WORLD AS MUCH AS ANJALINA THATS WHY HES WITH HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey dumb ass, she had to break up a marriage to get Brad. She pulled the same stunt on Laura Dern & Billy Bob when they were engaged. I hope she gets a taste of the same treatment.
well god will have his way with all our lives.after all the hatefull things she has done .I don't belive she is really doing this,not even for her on kid.trickery mirrows or something.
This is a beautiful piece of art..
Angelina is looking like a woman every man would want in his life!
Though I m not an admirer of Brangelina.. but I liked the Aesthetic Beauty of this!
I am not a fan of hers but there is nothing wrong with nursing your baby.

p.s. I have seen a lot worse on magazine covers.
on the pic alone, it's very pretty. Brad took a great pic. of the mother of his child as she was breast feeding and it looks 'fresh, natural' I think they should hang it up in their home. Oh yeah, they don't have "ONE" lol
I think it's beautiful. More women (and men) should be so proud of their bodies. The human body is not something to be ashamed of and it's surprising to me how many people feel the human body is obscene. We need more pictures like this.
I think its great that the babay is getting the real deal. Now for been on the front page of a magizine is a little much. Now if it was a street person it would never happen or people would make a big deal. She a star so its ok. they should keep that private and to there selfs. People should just let them be. they are just like everyone else.
I like the positive message that Angie is sending to women out there: "BREASTFEED."
In my opinion, there is nothing better than motherhood, and it is great to see Angie being such a beautiful role model for mothers.
Oh, Angie looks so beautiful, looks like she just got up out of bed. She looks so natural and beautiful.
Awwwww! so cute
Nice catch, Brad!
Nice pose, AJ!
Ummm..... yeah I think everyone has a right to their own opinion even if it doesn't coincide with yours. Like if people have negative things to say then let them say it that doesn't mean they don't have a life it means they have an opinion. But what I can say is if your so sprung off celebrities in general maybe you should get a life and stop trying to stand up for celebrities when they make their money off being infront of the world. Good or bad press means moneys for them. Im not jelous of them as people have commented about anyone who has a negative opinion about their idols jolie-pitt. I think angie is crazy always has been and always will be she's just better at hiding it these days. She's also been hungry for attention forever I mean come on now didn't anyone ever see her and billy (one of her many ex's) on the red carpet together. [Saying they were just fucking on their way there and she was sucking on his face and all over him grabing his junk and all that on the red carpet in front of cameras and she just got done getting laid and wanted more can you say atenntion whore hoe bag. Then she steals some other womans husband? Oh and didn't she wear a vile full of billy's blood around her neck WOW!!! Crazy. She cut on herslef too and made light of it like it was art when that's a fricking sickness. She was also having sex at a very young age and doing drugs and making light of that as well. Im not saying some people haven't done those things too but come on now she's just a regular person a crazy one at that and she does a few things and now she a saint scratch that a god to some of you. She adopted 3 kids and now she's a saint? Why not take some of your millions and go to another country and stay there a year or two and be hands on to make sure you make it better for starving children with no parents or with aids. Like jay-z he bought the first water systems for a village in africa these kids were suffering having to walk miles for water that would kill them anyways before he got them a water system. The actual ministers who started feed the children aren't celebrities and they don't get much aclaim for the things they do but they do it for the children, if anything they are saints compaired to angie I mean I don't even understand why people see her in a godly light what exactly has she done that's made the world a better place? Anyways my point is she has always done things for attention and yeah she does seem like a great mom and right on for the breastfeeding but she's not angelical how people see her she started this family with somone elses husband lets not forget. If that was your husband she stole damn right you wouldn't see her as you do now cus it wasn't your husband it was anistons. Well my rants over but I just don't understand how these celebs are more important then starving dying children in this world.
