Angelina Jolie Reveals She Had A Double Mastectomy in February

Angelina Jolie has revealed that she underwent a double mastectomy after genetic tests showed she had a high risk of developing breast cancer.

This, the 37 year-old actress revealed in a New York Times op-ed titled, "My Medical Choice" that she had the surgery in February.

"I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy, but it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."

She also writes about the love and dedication she received from her husband, Brad Pitt.

"I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive," she writes. "So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition."

"We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has," she writes.

This experience has made her feel empowered as a woman saying,

"On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."

AmoreMagazine.com's Kate Casey: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie In Missouri for Christmas?

And now an imaginary conversation between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt about him wanting to spend the holidays in Missouri with his parents.

Brad: Um, hey. My love, my fortune, my dream. Mom says she would really like us to come back home for Christmas.

Angelina: Jesus, this again? I’m not going to that trash box you call your hometown. Last time I thought I would razor blade my elbows if I had to hear your mom talk about her flowerbeds one more time.

Brad: But it is her joy. You can’t stop someone from seizing the radiance that comes with their passion.

Angelina: Um, and where are we going to stay? I can’t sleep on a flowered bedspread in a room filled with Precious Moments figurines. Also, where am I supposed to hang my sex swing? You think our kids are going to be happy in sleeping bags on the basement floor? Guaranteed there is asbestos down there. Plus, not a good idea to have Maddox near a dartboard. Someone will end up in the ER.

Brad: But it is the season of spirit. Mom and dad really like to have all of us together. They would like to see the kids open their presents.

Angelina: Shiloh does not want Hello Kitty leggings or barrettes. Doesn’t she get it?

Brad: What can I tell mom she can get you?

Angelina: No perfume. I don’t want any Dr. Laura books. Please, no more potholders. Just give some money to charity.

Brad: Great, so Missouri it is! Let me tell the nannies so they can tell the kids.

Angelina: Wait, no. That is not what I said!

AmoreMagazine.com's Kate Casey: No One Likes Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Kids

Here is my living room couch diagnosis of Angelina Jolie. She craves love, which she never truly had as a child, so she hoards children. I’m sure she loves them – they can’t let her down. Their love is unconditional. I think she could take or leave Brad Pitt. He’s sort of just a stand-in at this point. I mean, what does he bring to the table? Have you seen his Chanel ads? I think that’s him. An imaginary conversation with him would be sprinkled with “hey, mans” or “the universe is an exploration of our experiences of our unit.” He just doesn’t seem like he brings much to the conversation. Like the entire time you are trying to discuss Syria or immigration reform he is studying his pores in the mirror behind you.

But back to their kids. I have read various stories that have said it is their dream to have 12 children. I get it. They’ve got the money and resources to provide those kids with a nice life. But, really, do they get much attention, even with a paid nanny per child? A couple of those kids are bound to get lost. Where’s Arrox? Anyone seen Habanx?

The worst part is that with that many kids, no rules, and access to anything they want these kids are bound to become barbarians. I mean their mother does buy them knife sets as Christmas gifts. They play with rifles.

Us Weekly says that when Brad and Angelina are in town with their kids they take them to a local pizza place. “The place shuts down for the entire night and the kids raise a ruckus,” says the insider. “They jump on tables and even throw food at each other!”

Imagine getting invited to meet them out for dinner? How do you gently say that while you think they are terrific as a couple that you kind of hate their kids? “Gee, um, I’d love to meet you guys for pizza, but, and this is no slight to you guys, but we like to sit on chairs and use utensils. We just try to teach our kids that you should respect other people by not screaming in their face when they are trying to enjoy a root beer. Or that ladies and gentlemen sit with their feet on the floor in public. You don’t throw things at the wall or threaten the wait staff. Again, you guys are great. Your children are…delightful. But, you know, we just have to pass this time. Thanks, though.”

And they would never get the point.

Julie Bowen on Angelina Jolie in 'Health Magazine', "...She's like a unicorn."

Have you ever wondered if some celebrities get star-struck when they meet other celebrities?

When it come to Modern Family's Julie Bowen, who, confesses in the October issue of Health magazine the person she most adores in Hollywood is Angelina Jolie.

"If I see Angelina Jolie, I have to look away ... She's like a unicorn," she says. "It's like, 'There's Angelina Jolie. We're not going to seriously stand here and pretend it's not like seeing a yeti, right?'"

Also in the mag, she's asked how she maintains that youthful look?

"I've had lasers leveled at my face and I would like to do Fraxel. I do find it odd people choose to do stuff that makes them look like crazy Hollywood faces, but I've got zero judgment ... I've worn some ugly shoes."

Some people just have it... and some don't...
