Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Brangelina is the celebrity supercouple of American actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and it’s the linguistic blend of the pair´s names. Robert Thompson, an educator and researcher in the field of popular culture, has said that the coupling of A-list stars like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, or in years gone by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, is "a paparazzo´s dream come true."

He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man´s man." Jolie didn´t stop there, though. She specifically referred Pitt´s knack for parenting, saying of this "loving father" that he´s "a very, very intelligent man."

Jolie wrote an Op/Ed newspaper article titled "My Medical Choice" that was published on May 14, 2013, in The New York Times in which she revealed that she had undergone a double mas- tectomy and breast reconstruction because she is a carrier of a "faulty" gene, BRCA1. Her doctors advised her that the gene, along with her family history of breast cancer (including her mother´s death at age 56) made it much more likely that she would have developed breast cancer (the medical esti- mate was that she had an 87% risk of breast cancer), so she elected to have the surgery as a preventative measure. Many of us remember when we heard about this choice. That’s the really great thing about shocking news.
We get to see our own reactions. That’s right; it behooves us to learn more about ourselves. You see, our stars and celebrities and newsmakers and even raging international wars show us the inner working of our belief systems and our own minds.
