Brat Pitt, Angelina Jolie and the whole family — including Angelina’s dad Jon Voight are in Paris, where she’s shooting ‘The Tourist’. Reading today’s Daily Mail’s commentary ‘so much for them breaking up’, I signed an unpleasant one, because the DM was aggressive in printing and promoting another Brad|Angie breakup in Jan 2010.

Lawsuits are flying this time. News of the World, the British tabloid that aggressively pushed the breakup story and is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, splashed the end of the relatonship so far and wide that it ended up in the London Times.

Believing it, we were crushed.

Simply stated, Angelina and Brad are challenging the notion of family, marriage, children, monogamy — it’s clear that we have a very political, activist couple also intent on challenging traditional social mores. As involved as Angelina and Brad are in global issues, I imagine they feel strongly about a certain sense of hypocrisy in the world where some of us are endlessly obsessed with Aniston-Pitt-Jolie and others face death at sundown.
