Leslie, likewise about you.
But I really think you're being too cynical on her. We have the Jolie's of the movie world to remind us how vacant the whole rest of it is.
1. The cutting thing doesn't bother me and I don't think it was for publicity, actually don't even know that much about it but she has experimented with many things, sexual extremes and otherwise, so it fit quite well in line with who she is.
2. We don't know if they had an affair -- no one knows the timing or the circumstances. To my memory, while shooting Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Pitt confessed to Aniston that he had strong feelings for Jolie, or that he was in love with her. I know it sound like it was an affair, but from what I know about her I'm thinking it started officially after that.
3. No, those kids didn't. She had Maddox for quite some time prior to meeting Pitt. And if you fall in love with somone, why not share your life and family together if they have the same desires? There aren't enough good parents in the world to go around.
4. UN thing doesn't bother me, again because I have listened to her speak and seen her around the world, and I believe it's real.
Movies are religion, dear, so that what we're debating.
