Women 'put themselves last' until it shows 'itself in their own health,' said Jolie.Angelina Jolie is wrapped in yet another shocking health crisis following her Bell’s Palsy diagnosis, RadarOnline.com has learned, as a source close to the star claimed she suffers from varicose veins!Apart from being unsightly, the veins can cause life-threatening blood clots for the mom of six.Sources have told Radar the vain beauty wants the unappealing veins removed through a painful “stripping” procedure so she can wear short dresses again! “Angie knows ‘stripping’ the veins will hurt, and she’ll be off her feet for weeks. But she’s tired of having to cover up all the time,” claimed an insider. “People will have a field day if they ever see how veiny her legs have become! She’s really self-conscious about it.” Despite the actress considering the procedure for aesthetic reasons, medical experts have warned her the condition is much more serious. Left untreated, they can have deadly consequences! “Angie’s been told that because she travels by plane so much, those spidery veins could develop into deep vein thrombosis,” spilled a source. “After all the terrifying health issues she’s been through the past few years, that really scared her.” A common and very serious complication linked to deep vein thrombosis is pulmonary embolism. This occurs when a blood clot – usually from the leg – travels to the lung and blocks a blood vessel. For the striping method, “the recovery time would be several weeks, with plenty of bruising and discomfort,” said Dr. Mark Rayman, medical director of the California-based Beach Cities Vein and Laser Center.He stated Jolie should consider “microphlebectomy” instead – especially if she is “trying to preserve her beauty.” “You make tiny little incisions over the bulging varicose veins and take them out through those tiny little skin nicks. That’s different than stripping, which involves pulling out the entire length of the vein.” Recovery time is also much shorter, he said.While the actress has been going through a hard time since her split from Brad Pitt, friends are urging her to seek treatment as soon as possible. “Angie has so much international travel coming up… She also wants to squeeze in another trip to Cambodia before the end of the year,” said an insider. “Her doctors are begging her to make a decision now before she suffers more dire consequences than revealing a couple of unsightly veins on her legs!” Speaking of her many ailments, skeletal Jolie said in an interview earlier this year: “It’s just been the hardest time, and we’re just kind of coming up for air,” As Radar readers know, Jolie had her ovaries removed in 2015 to prevent cancer, and subsequently went into instant menopause. She also previously had a double mastectomy and currently battles hypertension. “Sometimes women in families put themselves last until it manifests itself in their own health,” added the actress.

Aside from a public appearance in Nairobi, Kenya on World Refugee Day in June, Angelina Jolie has kept a relatively low profile this summer. The actress and humanitarian was, however, seen enjoying family time earlier this week in Los Angeles, dressed in her signature casual all-black uniform and with her father Jon Voight and 9-year-old daughter Vivienne at her side.Jolie’s fluid caftan was the ideal topper for a fun session at Color Me Mine, the paint-your-own ceramics studio in Sherman Oaks. The actress and humanitarian has an eye for simple, chic, and comfortable—above all!—footwear, and her neutral Ancient Greek sandals certainly fit the bill, with their subtle, rope-like appearance. Currently on sale for $137.50, almost half off the retail price, they happen to be a steal, too. With an elegant hands-free bag slung across her body, Jolie had the whole cool mom look down pat.

Angelina Jolie NOT Done Dating Men Following Brad Pitt Split, Despite Report

Angelina Jolie isn’t done dating men for good following her split from Brad Pitt, despite a bogus new tabloid report. Gossip Cop looked into the claim, and we’ve exclusively learned the truth.According to an article in the latest issue of the National Enquirer, the actress’s failed marriage to Pitt has prompted her to swear off men forever. A supposed “source” tells the magazine, “Angie has been married three times that all ended in divorce,” referring to ex-husbands Johnny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton. “She isn’t a fool and has come to the conclusion that she isn’t very good at being married to men.” The outlet’s dubious insider adds, “In the past, she has had lesbian relationships and it’s much more likely that she will end up dating a woman again than another man. Plus, she’s much more comfortable introducing women to her kids than men she has just met.” Gossip Cop, however, can clear up this phony take on the situation.Although it’s true that Jolie had a relationship with actress Jenny Shimizu in the ’90s, Gossip Cop is assured by a source close to the actress that she hasn’t decided to start romancing women again. We’re assured Jolie never told anyone in her trusted inner circle that she’s done dating men, and the tabloid’s claim otherwise is simply “not true.” In fact, Gossip Cop called out the Enquirer last year after it published a bogus cover story claiming Jolie and Shimizu were back together, which obviously isn’t the case. And late last month, the unreliable publication released a cover story wrongly alleging Jolie is sick and weighs just 78 pounds. There was no truth to either of those reports, and the outlet’s latest one about the actress is equally unfounded.

Poor Angelina Jolie! Ever since splitting from Brad Pitt and losing her best friend, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that the actress has become ‘a loner’ in her daily life.For twelve amazing years, Angelina Jolie, 42, and Brad Pitt, 53, were joined at the hip. They did everything together, even the most basic activities like grocery shopping and coordinating school pick-up for the kids. Post-divorce, the Tomb Raider alum truly feels like she’s “lost her best friend and has become somewhat of a loner,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She doesn’t have a huge circle of friends, so when she ditched Brad it left a huge gap in her life. She really misses their evenings together, when the kids have been put to bed, and they used to sit and talk. Angie is definitely a lot lonelier without Brad, they shared everything.” We know what you’re thinking — why does the brunette bombshell get out there and make some friends? Well, when you’re a mother-of-six, a working actress, and a devoted humanitarian all at the same time, finding free time to meet some friendly faces is nearly impossible. Angie is still “sure she did the right thing” by leaving Brad, but will “always miss their friendship,” the source continues. “It really sinks in after she’s had a tough day and she’s craving some adult company to talk things through with.” Don’t worry Angie — WE’LL BE YOUR FRIENDS! WE LOVE YOU.But seriously, the First They Killed My Father director is going to have to start dating again sometime. No rush or anything, but what’s the harm in a little flirting over a candle-lit dinner? Her ex-husband has reportedly wined and dined Australian model Elle Macpherson at least once. Our sources are confident that Angie isn’t looking to meet Mr. Right…but what about Mr. Right Now? Maybe that’s more likely.

Angelina Jolie has a new house and new outlook on her family's new normal following a difficult year.In a Vanity Fair cover story, the actress and director opens up about her world after splitting with husband Brad Pitt and her health, revealing she at one point suffered from Bell's palsy, a condition that causes partial facial paralysis."I was very worried about my mother, growing up -- a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me," Jolie told the magazine. "I think it's very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything's going to be all right even when you're not sure it is."In the article, Jolie said her relationship with Pitt "became difficult" last summer, around the time she was in postproduction on her upcoming film, "First They Killed My Father," which she directed.She did not elaborate when probed further, but seemingly rejected the notion that the family's travel-heavy, hectic way of living was a point of contention between her and Pitt."[Our lifestyle] was not in any way a negative," she said in the interview. "That was not the problem. That is and will remain one of the wonderful opportunities we are able to give our children . . . They're six very strong-minded, thoughtful, worldly individuals. I'm very proud of them." She adds of her children: "They've been very brave. They were very brave."Pitt and Jolie are parents to Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 9."We're all just healing from the events that led to the filing . . . They're not healing from divorce," Jolie added. "They're healing from some . . . from life, from things in life."Pitt and Jolie separated in September 2016 and filed for divorce shortly after.Jolie sought sole custody of the children.
Jolie and Pitt's divorce is still being negotiated, according to Vanity Fair.Jolie and the children recently moved into a new 11,000-square-foot house in the Loz Feliz area of Los Angeles, according to the magazine."We care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal," Jolie said.The tumultuous year has seemingly taken its toll on Jolie, who in the piece opens up about developing hypertension and Bell's palsy, which causes muscle weakness."Sometimes women in families put themselves last," she said, "until it manifests itself in their own health." She received acupuncture treatment and made a full recovery from her Bell's palsy.In the past, Jolie has been open about taking a proactive role in her health.She had a double mastectomy in 2013 after learning she carried a gene that made her more susceptible to developing breast cancer. Two years later, she had her ovaries removed as a preventative measure, a move that sent her into early menopause.At one point Jolie jokes with the reporter about developing more gray hair."I can't tell if it's menopause or if it's just been the year I've had."Jolie's film "First They Killed My Father," about the Cambodian genocide, will be released on Netflix this year.
