Angelina Jolie's tits.

And a gaggle of kids running around.

Reconstructing breasts after a mastectomy is painful and complicated. And the new breasts don't generally have any sensation left. And usually they have to be rebuilt after a while, because the body starts resorbing parts.

She's gorgeous without them.

My own missus has recently had to part company with her upper deck (not preventative but courtesy of an aggressive tumour). I tell I her (sincerely) that I am quite taken with her new gamin look. She tells me that this could be a sign of latent homosexuality, though at this stage nothing would surprise her.So I may have to reincarnate myself as Gayboy 89.

I'm sorry your wife had to go through that. I'm glad you've gone gay for her!

Well I am hoping that the pulchritudinous paragons of womanhood who bestride these pages might assist in turning me straight again. Just ask and I will send detailed instructions ( not suitable for those of a sensitive disposition or who have better things to do).

Either way still better than many of us.

Me for one, though I'm working on it.

I wish I could meet Angelina and Brad. They seem like a couple of good folks. Brad Pitt strikes me as a regular guy who happens to have made it big in acting. I bet if one hung out at their house, it would be fun and fairly normal, albeit huge and expensive.

I think they're probably good folks, but hardly regular or normal. Are you forgetting the vial of Billy Bob Thornton's blood, or A.J. making out with her brother? And B.P. seems more than a little self-satisfied (sure, he has reason, but it comes across a bit douchy.)

[Coito ergo sum]

Yeah, I'm sure that 20 years each of being multi-million dollar grossing actors, with fawning fans, etc., has altered their perspective a bit, and I obviously have nothing to base my thought on, but Brad Pitt just seems like a cool dude. Clooney too, and Matt Damon. I bet I could hang out like equals with that crew. They seem likable and easy going. It would probably be hard to keep up with them because they probably are used dropping a grand here and a grand there no problem, but aside from that, they seem like regular blokes who seem good at acting. Angelina Jolie has become a bit pretentious looking, but I bet she's fun too, in private settings.

That blood stuff and the making out with the brother, I bet that was just for shock value. But, it is kind of creepy. So, you have a point there.

I bet Jennifer Aniston is nice in person too.

There seems to be an unarticulated assumption here that being "normal" is somehow a desirable trait.

Talk to Coito about that.

Yes, because nobody shoots a teapot like he does.

Ms. Jolie had a rough time of it early in life and suffered a lot. I was glad to see her marry Mr. Pitt and be happy. She seems to have conquered her demons and found happiness and satisfaction doing good works and raising a passel of adopted kids.

I like her.

Indeedy.

It was probably the sensible decision on the basis of self preservation and keeping it a secret would have been impossible so what would have been the point.

Didn't mean to imply otherwise with my comment about "normal."

@OP. Who effing cares?

@OP. Who effing cares?

A lot of people, apparently. Particularly women and particularly women who have high risk of breast cancer.

[Svartalf]

I wonder if she just wasn't a bit too proactive... but seriously, that's her problem, and each woman who faces breast cancer has to find her own answers, not just look up to a celeb ...
