Off-Topic: Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

I woke up today to some pretty bad news (for me anyway).  Angelina Jolie filed divorce from Brad Pitt. *insert sad face*

Why am I writing about this?  It is not Arashi-related so who cares... Well, I guess I do.


You see, I have always been Team Jolie, ever since there was the Team Aniston v Team Jolie saga.

My sister was Team Aniston, I dunno why, we had many disagreements...I guess she just didn't like Angelina Jolie.  I, on the otherhand, am a huge fan of Angelina Jolie.  Sure she used to be eccentric or weird (depending on who you talk to), but I've really come to appreciate the person she has become.  I love that she uses her celebrity-status to champion awareness about refugees.  She spends her free time either with her children or visiting refugee camps.  I also think it says volumes about what kind of mom she is by adopting 3 of her kids from 3rd world countries.

I also liked Brad Pitt.  In my opinion, him picking Jolie over Aniston meant he wasn't into the shallowness that is Hollywood.  Alongside Jolie, they vowed not to marry until gays are given the right to marry.  (They eventually did marry though stating that it was something for their kids.)  Brad was said to be by Jolie's side when she underwent a double mastectomy to avoid a genetical history of breast cancer.  That is a dream husband!  Or so I thought.  What the hell happened?!

Rumors are swirling that he had an affair with Marion Cottillard.


(photo cr: wallpapers.org)If this is true, then the saying "once a cheater, always a cheater" will apply to Pitt.  Damn it, it'll be ammunition for my sister to brag that she was right all along, that Brad Pitt cheated on Jennifer Aniston with Jolie.

But I was rooting for Jolie & Pitt.  *throws a mini tantrum*

Why is it that sometimes when you support a couple and they break up, you feel like it's personal?!  Maybe it's just me.  I know I was really sad when my sister-in-law broke up with her boyfriend of many years.  I took it quite personally.  For me, it was because my kids had gotten used to "Uncle ___" and they were too young to understand why he wasn't around anymore.  My kids have nothing to do with this Hollywood couple, but the sad feeling is quite similar.  I supported the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt relationship.  I thought they were gonna be different than most Hollywood couples/marriages.  But I was wrong.  Maybe that's why I feel so crappy.
