Angelina "Frightened" By Birthing Process
I have simply got to get this out of my system: Is anyone else tired of hearing about the birth of Brangelina's baby?
NEW YORK (AP) -- Angelina Jolie, in her first U.S. interview since the birth of her daughter last month, says the experience was frightening.
"You know, because you're there for the birth, which I wasn't for my first two kids, you're just suddenly terrified that they're not gonna take a first breath," the 31-year-old actress says in an interview to air Tuesday on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" (10 p.m. EDT).
"That was my whole focus. I just wanted to hear her cry."
I might be frightened too, if I chose to have my child in Namibia. Actually, since she used a private clinic, I guess she had a better chance at having no problem than the average Namibian. (The infant mortality rate in the US is 7 in 1000 vs. 48 in 1000 in Namibia.)
And while it's admirable that Mary and Joseph...er, Angelina and Brad...decided to donate the $4 million or whatever that was paid for exclusive Messiah...er, Shiloh...baby photo rights to charity, the fact that any publication would pay that kind of money for such a photo op is ludicrous.
We scoff at other countries for having royalty, yet we grovel at the feet of such luminaries as Brad and Angelina and the rest of the Hollywood court jesters because they are good looking and look larger than life on the silver screen. Oh, and they make lots of money and spend it on mansions, private jets and big parties.
With all of the hooh hah, you would think Angelina was the first woman ever, in the history of mankind, to give birth. Until, that is, the next celebrity has a child. I just love the questions these women are asked: How do you manage to have such a fabulous career and still have time to be a mom? Answer: With the boatloads of money I'm paid, I can afford to hire nannies, maids and cooks, as well as personal trainers to get my figure back within weeks.
Who would have thought that actors and other entertainers went from being lower than toilet scrubbers on the social ladder to being top of the heap?
Okay...I feel better now.
The second coming?

I read somewhere that that poor kid will have her name mangled for fun: Shiloh Pitt will become "Pile of shit."
Why do people still give their defenseless babies weird names? Did they learn NOTHING from Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue"?

I at first was disgusted that they sold these pictures, but then I found out they gave it to charity.
They know this kid is going to be followed around forever...at least this way they get to control the pictures that get out.
If they went to a regular hospital in Namibia, then I would be really upset. I would call Edwards to sue ;-)
