From isorom via e-mail:
Well, it's about time. I will [terminate] my TFC subscription if she goes back on that show, as will several friends of mine. Fermin should not have involved that innocent child. Although, actually, Nadia should stop talking, too. I hope my views reach the management of ABS-CBN.
Stop? Nah!
LOS ANGELES?Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie intends to keep up her nomadic lifestyle alongside partner Brad Pitt and their six children, and hinted in a TV interview on Thursday that they may adopt a seventh.
Jolie, 33, who in July gave birth in France to twins, a girl named Vivienne Marcheline and a boy named Knox Leon, said on NBC?s morning news show ?Today? that she sees no reason to slow down despite her growing brood.
She told ?Today? co-host Matt Lauer in an interview to promote her new film, the period drama ?Changeling?: ?So far we?ve moved [the children] a lot, and they like moving ... packing their bag, making new friends wherever we go ... we?d like to maintain that. We?d like them to be those kind of adults [who] can find home wherever they are in the world.?
In addition to the twins, Jolie and Pitt are parents to adoptees Maddox, Pax and Zahara, and their first biological daughter, Shiloh. Jolie said she and Pitt were considering adopting still more.
She said her children were now used to new arrivals. ?Somebody asked how (7-year-old) Mad was doing ... he?s a professional big brother, he?s done it so many times.? Reuters
