“Don’t say I’m thin,” says Angelina


Despite all those warnings to the press not to ask Angelina personal questions on the red carpet at the Mighty Heart premiere, she’s getting into it again as expected. She talked about her very thin frame and blamed it on grief over her mother.

She also says she stopped breastfeeding and that her thinness is related to that. Didn’t she leave Shiloh for several days back in mid-March to go adopt Pax from the orphanage? Brad’s mom was said to be watching Shiloh and Zahara and then Zahara was flown in for the OK! Photoshoot. That’s three months ago. Can you stop breastfeeding for several days and go back to it? I never tried that with my son as I wasn’t ever apart from him at that point.

I’m not bashing Angelina over the breastfeeding thing, I’m just trying to figure out if she means like three months ago or more recently. Anyway breastfeeding is said to burn 500 calories a day so technically shouldn’t you gain weight if you stop breastfeeding?

“I’ve always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I’ve gone through a lot,” said the actress, who is currently in New York with boyfriend Brad Pitt, 43, and their children, Maddox, 5, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and one-year-old Shiloh.

“I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding – it’s been hard to get my nutrition back on track.”

Jolie sparked concern among fans earlier this year when her already thin frame grew even smaller and the veins on her arms started protruding. But she insists that vanity is not to blame for her shrinking figure.

“Instead of people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally, they assume it’s because I want to fit into skinny jeans.”

She added, “Someone saying to me that I’m thin is not a compliment.”

I have a friend back in the states who is super thin like that and she is breastfeeding her daughter. She says she hates it when people point it out too and at least the celebrities are all thin now so she doesn’t have to feel bad about it. I think it’s an unhealthy standard because you have to have a genetic predisposition for it or you have to seriously restrict your calories.

I know when I’m busy sometimes I forget to eat if my mind is on something but when I’m depressed I sometimes eat junk and feel guilty about it. I try to avoid stuff like ice cream, but some nice Swiss chocolate usually hits the spot. (They may be tight asses here, but they do keep it pretty and they have awesome chocolate.)

Maybe Angelina should just work on gaining a little weight if it bothers her so much that people are talking smack about it. For me it seems easier to gain than lose. It’s more fun at least.

I’m glad this story came out because I picked these two pictures of Angelina earlier just to show her freakishly thin arms. I enjoy doing that.
