I have to say I'm a little angry right now. My husband and I are watching Chelsea Lately (it's the first time I've watched it), and the first segment was all about Angelina Jolie. The usual; slamming her, her kids, and of course all the adoption jokes. I have a great sense of humor, but I just can't get into the ridiculous frame of mind that most others seem to be when talking about Hollywood moms. Namely the ones who have adopted.
