Brangelina’s Lucky #7?
Apparently the Jolie-Pitt brood might be growing soon with an addition to their “rainbow” family from Burma. The couple has enlisted one of Burma’s leading monks to help plan a trip to an orphanage.
According to an insider, Angelina, 32, has become “increasingly despondent” about the progress she is making in helping the Third World. The source said: “Angelina feels she is barely making a dent in the suffering she sees throughout the Third World as she travels incognito to different countries as a United Nations representative.
“She wants to step up her action in what she calls Red Alert areas, the most seriously troubled, war-torn areas in the world. She’s in talks to go into Burma and help with students and AIDS victims who are suffering terribly.” The source added Angelina had been talking to a monk about a safe travel route through the military state and a visit to an orphanage.
She is said to believe adopting another girl would balance her family and a child from Burma would fit into its racial mix. Angelina has enlisted the help of Dr Jane Aronson, an adoption specialist who runs the Worldwide Orphans Foundation. It is understood she has acted as a mentor to the actress after helping her with the adoption of Zahara.
According to the source, Angelina’s frustration at not doing enough to help the Third World is exacerbated by her sense that she and Pitt spend too much time in Hollywood.
Angelina has spoken in the past of her desire to start a “rainbow” family of children adopted from nations all over the world. She recently said: “Ever since I was about 12, I’ve always wanted to adopt – I don’t know why. We want to have a big, big family.”
Good for them! I love this do-gooding family!

The official name of the country is Myanmar and at the moment their is a lot of political unrest. Angelina, the fame whore that she is, is interjecting herself into the situation for publicity. Thank God, the government of that country has strict laws about non citizens adopting. But just like with Maddox she will simply buy a child to sate her addiction. Being the junkie she is she needs her fix of publicity and child gathering to keep her title as savior of the world.

Does anyone really care what these two lying freaks do anymore? I don’t care how many kids they adopt, it will keep the nannie buisness booming. But won’t do much for thier popularity..Maybe they think adopting another kid will make thier movies do better at the box office…

Even if they were adopting for selfish reasons and “being a junkie” (ridiculous), these kids are still in a much better situation than they were in their home countries. It doesn’t matter why you help, it just matters that you do. I wish I had the financial freedom to do things similar to them. I dont’ know that i’d adopt a ton of kids, but I would definitely involve myself in trying to help with problems that people often ignore. I think that the poorest person in America is still in a better situation than most people in a lot of these countries that they visit. A child is a child…doesn’t matter who takes care of them or where they are from as long as they are loved and taken care of. Even if the nannies do all the work, there are opportunities for these children that they never would have in their home country. If they help, then they are called attention whores…if they didn’t do these things, people would still find a reason to dislike them…like I said; at least they are trying.

Oh gag! She makes me ill. All she cares about is her image!
The way in which she has utterly exploited those kids is sickening. She adopts a kid and what is the first thing she does? Give the child time to acclimate to their new surroundings? Get time to get used to their new family? Nope! She schedules a People magazine shoot! They come in and take pictures of the poor thing sleeping in a hotel room with their new sib, etc.?? She is fame whore if there ever was one. She is obsessed with how people see her! Sick, sick, sick! Like the “someone” said, they will undoubtedly keep the nanny business booming. Brad Pitt is as nutty as she is! If she was really interested in the well being of those kids, she wouldn’t plaster their little faces all over every magazine known to man! And no, its not just the paps chasing them. She PLANS the spectacles!

Attention whore is the understatement of the year…the least she could do is wait until all of them are able to walk for great distances on their own before she goes to get another to tote around.

Why are you guys so full of hate for someone helping children that might otherwise starve to death and/or worse? If she was an attention “whore”, as you so tactfully put it, she’d be dancing on MTV and clubbing without any panties on. GET OVER YOURSELVES. They are doing not just one or even a few but A LOT of good things for others. My hat is off to them, no matter how much you want to try to drag them down to your level.

THIS IS A BRITISH TABLOID STORY THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DENIED. THIS IS NOT TRUE. SOME OF YOU ARE IN A RUSH TO JUDGEMENT ABOUT PEOPLE YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW.

Ummm…I was never good in math, but what am I missing? How would another girl “balance” the family? lol!

“SOME OF YOU ARE IN A RUSH TO JUDGEMENT ABOUT PEOPLE YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW.”
Ummm, she shows her true self everyday! In fact, she makes sure of it by the way she shamelessly flaunts herself and her poor children in the media. Not much left to try and figure out.

The U.S. Embassy in Rangoon has been informed by Burmese authorities that Burmese law does not allow for the adoption of Burmese children by non-Burmese nationals. Only Burmese citizens are allowed to adopt Burmese children.
Let’s see AJ get around this one.

To those of you defending Angie, and saying she’s helping all these kids in need, and we’re judging her….
Why is it that she’s not adopting from the US?? There are thousands upon thousands of children who have been abandoned, abused and tossed into the system…
Why is it that we RARELY see her holding her own flesh and blood?? Are these other babies she’s adopted more in need of love and nurturing than her own child?
Why is it that as soon as press coverage about one of her adoptions dies down you hear about her finding another obscure country to adopt another child from??
This is all I’m sayin’

What beautiful people. I when I say beautiful I refer to the inner beauty. They are doing so much to make the world a better place. God will bless them dearly for the kind works they do. Bless them.

Being parented by two attention whores who use you to exploit thier life style is better than anything in this world. Money is all that matters not stability or sanity. These freaks couldn’t get an American baby. Not with Angies digusting past.
