Nope, not Carrie Prejean. We're still hanging with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - just like Speidi! I'm continuing to slog through the multitude of Brangelina news that hit the tabloids this week. Take this with a grain of salt, but talk is swirling around
Angelina and another rumored adoption that she supposedly already has in the works. Is the collecting of children her
new form of cutting? Something about her behavior strikes me as addicitive
and self-serving - versus the saintly way she prefers to be portrayed. And
it's not her recent avalanche of bad press that makes me thinks so! Details,
via Snarkerati:[OK! reports Jolie met the unnamed girl she wants to bring into her family during a U.N. Refugee Agency trip in October. Moved by the child's account of fleeing extremists, Jolie made the decision to adopt, a "friend" explains to the mag, which cites a British newspaper "source" as saying the paperwork "has gone through." There are two issues here.
First of all, during her recent visit Jolie met with refugees who had fled to Syria - not Syrians. So it's more than likely that if she adopts a girl she met during the United Nations trip, she is not Syrian.
Second, if the girl is Syrian, she'd be exceptionally difficult for Jolie to adopt. Gossip Cop spoke with the Syrian embassy and confirmed that "securing custody of Syrian orphans for immigration is extremely difficult as adoption is essentially illegal in Syria." Laws concerning personal status matters are handled by religious authorities in that country, and a Muslim child would not be possible to adopt.
Since OK! and others mostly focus on how Jolie's "single-minded mission has caused a major rift" with Pitt, of course, they ignore whether the process might cause a major rift with the law.]
Something tells me that Angelina will get her way, regardless of what Brad wants. That means we'll be seeing a seventh blessed child enter the "Rainbow Brood" very soon...
