Is Angelina Jolie Overdoing it?

Friday, March 09, 2007

A British magazine says loved ones of actress Angelina Jolie fear her plummeting weight and lack of sleep as she works endlessly with her UN work and child-rearing, and that they’re begging her to take care of herself.  Some people suggest that the continuous limelight from “stealing” Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston adds stress, and some rumors suggest she’s unhappy that Pitt sent his ex-wife a nice birthday card.  Pitt’s mother allegedly prefers the ex to her, though that relationship appears to be improving.  Jolie is also reportedly still struggling with her mother’s death.

The couple is moving to New Orleans, away from the constant fanfare of Hollywood.  A friend of the twosome has reportedly said that they intend to root there and hope the more relaxed atmosphere will help them work through the current difficulties.  Another presumed stressor is Jolie’s vow to never marry again after her two failed marriages, and Pitt’s preference to please his parents with the “right thing.”

Not only is Angelina Jolie adopting a four-year-old Vietnamese boy, but she’s doing it sooner than her partner Brad Pitt desired.  He might join them within three months, one month shy of the usual adoption turnaround time.  Vietnamese officials say it’s because she started the process three months ago during the visit she and Pitt made to Vietnam, not because of her money or publicity.  Rumor suggests Jolie and Pitt began considering the adoption some months prior to that, shortly before their daughter was born last May.  The Tam Binh orphanage, which Jolie and Pitt visited some months ago, will receive $2 million when she receives the boy.
An online poll recently called her the sexist person ever, even above Elvis Presley and Brad Pitt.
