Angelina Jolie Poses While Breastfeeding

on October 10, 2008 at 1:18 PM

I know I said I loved Angelina Jolie, but I didn't expect to be blogging about her again so soon. However, she's in the news again and creating quite a stir (that's what makes her Angelina). The controversy? She graces the cover of the November issue of W—in a photo taken by none other than her Baby Daddy Brad—and she appears to be breastfeeding ...

Apparently Brad Pitt took the photos in August, while the Pitt-Jolie family was staying at a French chateau, and there will be more "private" photos inside the magazine (it hits newsstands next week). Some folks think it's too personal for the cover of a mag; others think it's a natural, beautiful thing. What's your take?

I mean, it's not like we are talking about a "wardrobe malfunction" this is a woman nurishing her child naturally. I am an advocate for breastfeeding. They should put more energy into cracking the child pornography rings. Seems to me some ones focus is in the wrong place.

*Sigh*. I'll bet Angelina's cellulite even looks good. Seriously. The woman can't take a bad picture.

I think there is nothing wrong with the picture. I wish I could look that lovely. I am a breastfeeding mom and its a natural and beautiful thing to have that connection with your child.

I dont really like angelina jolie, I liked her better in the 90's like when she was in hackers and foxfire, i like her as a tomboy more than glam gal, however i think its sweet that she posed breastfeeding her baby!

i think that it is awesome that they'd put this pic on the cover, maybe seeing a celeb doing it will promote other mom's to breastfeed their babies! not to mention i'm absolutely in love with angelina! ;ox

OH my.... wish I could take that good of a pic all the time. She's beautiful, naturally. Only because she's actually taking the time to breastfeed her child like it's supposed to be done. Oh and I wish I was a guy or a lesbian cuz I think she's hot!!!! lol
