I Hated Angelina Jolie

So has Angelina Jolie had her baby yet or what? I really hated her. I mean, I got over it. I am not one of those US Weekly loving freaks (though it is easy to get sucked into that thing!) who hates her for being beautiful, or rich, or talented, or with Brad Pitt. I've always thought her life is a weird, creepy juxtaposition, actually. A commitment to serious endeavors and changing the world, with some Harry Winston jewels and really vapid movies and strange relationships and vials of blood thrown into the mix.


No, my hate was (of course) fertility related: I hated her for getting pregnant again right when I was getting really sick of not getting pregnant again. With twins, no less! The nerve! It wasn't that I minded Maddox Jolie-Pitt with his cool mohawk and camo pants or Shiloh Jolie-Pitt with her good genes and unnaturally large baby lips. I had a horrible and shallow thought, which is that if Ms. Jolie, who already had a whole mess a kids, could get pregnant, I should be able to too.
