    This took me by surprise. Both with what she went through, and that she stepped out and made it public.

    I just read that **** about 90 minutes ago.

    ****ing crazy.

    The funny part is that I read it in her voice.

    I guess it's a lot easier to alter your looks once you've landed the alpha male for all humanity and made millions trading in on your looks; or, I suppose, after learning you have an above average chance of contracting a terminal illness.

    I beg to differ. When most of the world associates you with a certain look then you are almost imprisoned by that look. It does take courage to break out of that in the manner that she did, regardless that she probably had to do it.

    RIP Angelina Jolie's breasts.

    She did what she thought she needed to do to save her life and I'm not going to fault her for it.

    For anyone missing them I recommend watching Gia

    She's got kids. Good for her to make the responsible decision.

    Pretty sure her real boobs got replaced with fake ones. One advantage is those won't sag.

    Will she get her ovaries removed, too? I read somewhere that she has a 50 % chance of ovarian cancer?

    This is based on the false assumption that people can't tell the difference between fake and real boobies. I know when I am being lied to.

    Point? She has enough money to make fake tittays look and feel just as nice if not better than the ones in the trash.

    She can afford the best, and isn't like she'll be showing them off.

    Poor Brad, though.

    Maybe this could be a reason why she backed out of co-starring in Gravity.
