Angelina Jolie Shown Breast Feeding in New W Cover
Jeez, I hate to sound a little bitter, and believe me, I have nothing against Angelina Jolie and her beautiful, huge and ever-expanding family, but I’m getting tired of news about her and her family being included in the normal newsworthy sections of news websites and papers. I mean, since when have celebrities and how many babies they plan to have or what they eat for breakfast, been a newsworthy or important item for us to know, for that matter?
Aside from my little tirade, I’m actually going to talk about Angelina and what she did for a very tasteful magazine cover. She is shown cradling one of her new twins with dad Brad Pitt, breastfeeding the baby, with a tiny little hand coming up in to the picture, which makes the moment and the picture all that much more poignant and touching.Â
I know there have been actresses on covers of magazines bearing their pregnant bellies, but I’ve never seen one with a woman breast feeding her child. It may sound tacky, but it’s actually a very beautiful photograph, and not because Ms. Jolie has the most perfect face on earth right now, but because it’s a picture of mother and child, and everyone looks very content and at peace.
Jolie has been making headlines now for years, first with her single adoption of Maddox, her first boy, adopted from Cambodia, and then steadily began adding new members to her expanding family before and after she met and fell in love with Brad Pitt on the set of their movie Mr. and Ms. Smith, where they play assassins that are married and don’t know what eachother does in their spare time. Yeah, real plausible I know. I’m not a fan of Ms. Jolies acting but I think she is a good person who has done a lot for children.Â
