Angelina Jolie Pitt reveals that she has gone into menopause after removing her ovaries and fallopian tubes following a cancer scare.The 39-year-old actress/director previously had a preventive double mastectomy and the next preventive surgery on the list was the removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes. She will no longer be able to have any biological children.Angelina decided to have the surgery now after receiving a call from her doctor that her blood-test results showed something that could have been the sign of early cancer. Luckily, further tests came back with the all clear, but Angie decided to have the the surgery. “There was a small benign tumor on one ovary, but no signs of cancer in any of the tissues,” she wrote in a NY Times op-ed piece.“I chose to keep my uterus because cancer in that location is not part of my family history,” Angelina added. “It is not possible to remove all risk, and the fact is I remain prone to cancer. I will look for natural ways to strengthen my immune system. I feel feminine, and grounded in the choices I am making for myself and my family. I know my children will never have to say, ‘Mom died of ovarian cancer.’” “Regardless of the hormone replacements I’m taking, I am now in menopause. I will not be able to have any more children, and I expect some physical changes. But I feel at ease with whatever will come, not because I am strong but because this is a part of life. It is nothing to be feared.I feel deeply for women for whom this moment comes very early in life, before they have had their children. Their situation is far harder than mine. I inquired and found out that there are options for women to remove their fallopian tubes but keep their ovaries, and so retain the ability to bear children and not go into menopause. I hope they can be aware of that.It is not easy to make these decisions. But it is possible to take control and tackle head-on any health issue. You can seek advice, learn about the options and make choices that are right for you. Knowledge is power.”

She has become a global style icon and a Hollywood A-lister, starring in a string of action movies adored by millions of fans.But even Angelina Jolie had to start her career somewhere – and that meant modelling clothes for Debenhams and Miss Selfridge for a little-known British magazine.The long lost pictures, taken when Jolie was just 18, were published under the headline 'Honeychild' in Look in 1993. And Angelina was such an unknown that even her name was misspelled – with a 'j' replacing the 'g' in her first name in a caption.Living in Los Angeles in her late teens, Angelina signed to the Nina Blanchard agency after her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, suggested she do some modelling.In the pictures she is seen in two separate shoots: squatting on the floor of a desert, and kneeling on a beach and reaching for the sky.It is not known if she agreed with the magazine's claim that 'beige is not boring – it encourages people to open up to you.' Angelina also made her professional acting debut in 1993, playing her first leading role in the science-fiction film Cyborg 2.Three years later, she appeared in the road movie Mojave Moon, prompting the Hollywood Reporter to write: 'Jolie is an actress whom the camera truly adores.' Then came the role of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider in 2001, and it was clear that a major new star had been born.Angelina is now married to Hollywood heart-throb Brad Pitt and the couple have six children.

Angelina Jolie Snubs Amal Alamuddin Again: Brad Pitt’s and George Clooney’s Wives Fighting Over Charity and Humanitarian Work?

The feud between Angelina Jolie and George Clooney’s new wife, Amal Alamuddin, rages on. Angelina and Amal actually have a lot in common: their husbands Brad Pitt and George Clooney have been good friends for several years and both women have strong political views and specialize in humanitarian work. But it became clear in November 2014 when Angelina skipped Amal and George’s Italian wedding that the two women would not be scheduling any lunch dates anytime soon.Over the years Angelina Jolie has built a name for herself in Hollywood as a humanitarian – and she doesn’t take kindly to other celebrities trying to steal her charitable spotlight. The March 30th edition of OK! Magazine reveals, “Angie has snubbed the British barrister once again. Since Amal accepted a visiting lecturer position at Columbia University she hoped that Angelina would meet up with her in New York, but sources say she has no such plans. Amal got Angelina’s information and reached out to her twice, but she never received a response. Amal was actually quite shocked by Angie’s rudeness and inconsideration.”Amal may be shocked that Angelina Jolie snubbed her, but we aren’t. If there is one thing we have learned about Brad Pitt’s wife over the years, it is that she is incapable of being friends with another woman and has some serious insecurity issues of her own. Amal Alamuddin arrived on the Hollywood scene in 2014, and is giving Angelina Jolie a run for her money and was even named “The Most Interesting Person of 2014” by Barbara Walters. And when you take into consideration Amal’s college degrees and law career, she actually has one up on the actress. According to OK! Magazine’s sources, Angelina isn’t threatened by Amal, she just “finds her annoying.” We’re not buying it though.Do you think that Angelina Jolie is threatened by Amal Alamuddin? Why else wouldn’t she want to get to know someone that she has so much in common with?

Angelina Jolie went make-up free while shopping at an upscale specialty clothing store in Beverly Hills on Thursday. Meanwhile, the actress and husband Brad Pitt are reportedly at odds over whether they would send off their children to school or not.39-year-old actress was snapped looking at clothes and browsing to several pieces of jewelry at the Yves St. Laurent shop in Beverly Hills."The 'Salt' star appeared particularly keen on black blazers, leather jackets and designer purses," Daily Mail. "Angelina may have been in the mood for a coat as she could be seen clutching her bare arms in the most likely air conditioned shop." In a related report, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt allegedly couldn't agree if the kids will stay homeschooled or be sent off to a regular school."Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's six children have been mostly homeschooled their whole lives due to their parents' crazy, jet-setting lifestyles, but could the kids be enrolling in "regular" school for the remainder of this school year and the future?" said OK! Magazine.A source told the magazine that their kids have been pleading both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to allow them to go to a regular school like regular kids. The "Fury" actor is open to the idea but "Salt" actress isn't too keen about the suggestion."Angelina is a fan of non-traditional education, but her hubby Brad is mostly siding with their children on the matter," it said, adding that Brad Pitt thinks the kids are "missing out on the social experience of school."Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got married in August of last year after reportedly falling in love on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." They have six children together, Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and twins Vivienne and Knox together, five.
