I am so surprised they didn't work out. Guess that's a baby does for
ya.

Which, as with most mindless pahrunts, is their own damned fault. I realize
that baybees put a terrible strain on marriages, and these two silly-arses
should have realized the same thing.
Feighnalstraughe, don't do that! <slap>

I've got mixed feelings about that situation. I have a tiny bit of respect
of Angelina for adopting an orphan instead of populating the world with
another (her own) flesh loaf.
The big question is: did she discuss this with Billy Bob ahead of time?
Did he agree to go ahead with it? Did he balk (and she did it anyway?)
If he gave her his support to do it, then he is a cad for running out on
her. If he told her upright he didn't want one and she did it anyway,
well.......then she got what she wanted and I will not pity her.

IIRC, Angelina considered adopting a child because she didn't want to
destroy her figure and also she was locked into some type of studio contract
for the next two years.
Well, she does see an awful lot of misery caused by overpopulation in her
volunteer work. Dunno how much work she does with her own two hands, but
her money helps.

Why? It isn't as though the kid will now grow up in poverty. It isn't as
though she'll have to work more as a single mom and therefore won't see
the kid as often as she would have.
I kind of figured their marriage was a publicity stunt, anyway. He's so
gross!
Valerie
Better than most female celebrities, who tend to pop 'em out and
either treat 'em like accessories or farm 'em out to nannies and
boarding schools. Plus celebrats usually seem to grow up to be
monsters. Whatever her reasons, it's admirable she chose to adopt
instead of squeezing out a vanity-brat, and that she does at
least actually go out and try to do some good rather than just
show up at a posh fundraiser now and then and make perfunctory
sad noises about the plight of third-worlders during interviews
in an attempt to make herself seem less shallow.

I agree on both points. I always thought she married him to take
the heat off her about her brother. Isn't it convenient that she
just happened to elope with Billy Bob right at the time there was
all that gossip?
