After recently going under the knife for a double mastectomy, Angelina Jolie is now reportedly scheduled to have her ovaries removed.According to People, the Oscar-winning actress still carries a 50-percent chance of developing ovarian cancer even after the recent surgery.Angelina’s mother, Marcia Lynne "Marcheline" Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer in 2007, which is why Miss Jolie is taking extra precautions for her health and safety.During her recent editorial for the New York Times, the 37-year-old actress explained that she “started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.” Reports continue that although the “Salt” star is still in her child-baring years, doctors suggest that she have her ovaries removed by the age of 40.

Angelina Jolie reveals she had preventive double mastectomy

Angelina Jolie reveals she had preventive double mastectomy after discovering cancer gene.Angelina Jolie says she underwent a preventive double mastectomy earlier this year after learning she carries a gene that increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.In a New York Times op-ed published late Monday, the 37-year-old Academy Award winner writes that after genetic testing she learned she carries the "faulty" BRCA1 gene. The risk of developing cancer due to the gene varies, but Jolie says doctors estimated she had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer. Jolie, whose mother died from cancer, says she decided to have the preventive mastectomy to be "proactive" for the sake of her six children with her partner, Brad Pitt."My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56," Jolie writes. "She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was."She said she has kept the process private so far, but wrote about with hopes of helping other women."I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy," she writes. "But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."
She is anything but private in the details she provides, giving a step-by-step description of the procedures. She writes that between early February and late April she completed three months of surgical procedures to remove both breasts."My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a `nipple delay,"' she writes, "which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area."She then describes the major surgery two weeks later where breast tissue was removed, saying it felt "like a scene out of a science-fiction film," then writes that nine weeks later she had a third surgery to reconstruct the breasts and receive implants."Many women have chosen preventive mastectomy since genetic screening for breast cancer was developed, but the move and public announcement is unprecedented from a star so young and widely known as Jolie.She briefly addresses the effects of the surgery on the idealized sexuality and iconic womanhood that have fueled her fame."I do not feel any less of a woman," Jolie writes. "I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."She also wrote that Brad Pitt, her partner of eight years, was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Southern California for "every minute of the surgeries."Jolie, daughter of Hollywood luminary Jon Voight, has appeared in dozens of films including 2010's "The Tourist" and "Salt," the "Tomb Raider" films, and 1999's "Girl, Interrupted," for which she won an Academy Award.But she has appeared more often in the news in recent years for her power coupling with Pitt and her charitable work with refugees as a United Nations ambassador.

No one can match the raw energy of a star Angelina Jolie. The reigning queen, who is popular for acting skills as much as her luscious lips, Jolie has come a long way since she stepped into modeling at the age of 14.The washed out natural look with sleepy dove eyes and bee stung lips, still remains unmatched in Hollywood. The long locks complementing her clear complexion have defined her beauty with grace since years. Angelina’s raw energy captured in the lens, hints at her rocky childhood when she started living with her boyfriend in her own house and suffered from bouts of depression due to separation from her father. The pictures of her teenage photoshoot highlight her features in the most aesthetic sense and bring the idea of comparison with her present age. The teenager who took to modeling for an underwear brand at such an early age is now a mother of six kids: three biological and three adopted. The raw energy has now turned into maturity with a few wrinkles at the corner of her eyes in place, although the pout is still the deadliest with no one in competition.With such heavenly features of an angel, Jolie is now a 37-year old woman with more than a dozen tattoos. She is still pondering over marriage plans and is busy taking care of her six kids along with partner Brad Pitt.

As Angelina Jolie stepped out in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday, all eyes were on her gaunt frame that she tried to conceal with a long-sleeved black frock.Exiting her vehicle, the A-list actress placed her right hand on the door of her black sedan, revealing her thin hand and bony wrist.As she stepped out of the car, thin pins were hard to miss, as their fair tone contrasted with her dark ensemble.Covering her eyes from the bright rays, the 37-year-old donned a pair of aviator sunglasses with her casual attire.At one point Angelina was seen adjusting the frames to ensure her eyes were well-shielded from the bright sun.Her long brunette locks were swept back into a low ponytail, giving off a relaxed vibe.Yet, she spruced up her ensemble by teaming it with a pair of pointed nude pumps, adding a little bit of height to her skinny stems without sacrificing comfort.Keeping her essential belongings by her side, the Tomb Raider star carried a big black tote on her left shoulder.The avid philanthropist recently displayed a few grey hairs as she made an appearance at the G8 Foreign Ministers Summit in London.She was also spotted in the same basic shoes as her trip to Beverly Hills, apparently a wardrobe favourite, that she paired with a conservative outfit.Having six children to watch over certainly seems to be taking its toll on the Hollywood scarlet.

Whoa, girl! A 12-year-old photograph of the sexy actress nuzzling up to a white horse completely topless is hitting the market as part of a Christie’s auction in May. The never-before-seen photo could fetch over $50,000, but you can see it for free here! We’re having flashbacks. A photograph taken in 2001 by David LaChapelle of Angelina Jolie topless with a white horse has finally been released for the public to see. The then 25-year-old actress looks at the peak of her sexiness in the picture, tossing her brown hair back and showing off her incredible body. No wonder Brad Pitt came calling (sorry, Jennifer).The revealing photo is being released for the first time as part of The Wild Side of Photography sale by the auction house, Christie’s. Christie’s expects to sell the rare photo for about $50,000, according to the Daily Mail, an expense that we could definitely justify — really, how good would this look above the fireplace? Angelina’s sexy photograph takes us back not only because of her youthful sexiness, but because of that infamous Billy Bob Thornton tattoo that we remember so well. Angelina’s left bicep tattoo is on full display here, years before she had it erased when she and Billy Bob divorced.With all of the kids surrounding her these days, it’s easy to forget what a sex kitten Angelina was back in the day. This is Lara Croft-era Angelina at her best. We don’t know if this horse is still living, but if he’s not, at least he died happy.What do you think of the photograph, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!
