ANGELINA JOLIE: Reveals She Had Mastectomy in NYT Op-Ed Piece
Angelina Jolie has revealed some shocking news -- in a New York Times Op-Ed piece.
The Oscar-winning actress, whose been named the "most beautiful" and "sexiest woman" by numerous publications over her career, writes that she had a double mastectomy after her doctors estimated she had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer.
Angelina writes, "Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy."
In the nearly 1,000-word piece, Angelina adds, "I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience." She also notes that she's "fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive."
Angelina's mother died of cancer at age 56 after fighting the disease for nearly a decade.

TAYLOR SWIFT: Ed Sheeran Claims She's Not a Serial Dater
Taylor Swift’s Red tourmate Ed Sheeran is going on record, claiming T gets a bad rap as a serial dater.
Ed tells OK! magazine, “The rumor that she dates a lot of people is a misconception, because in the time that I’ve known her, which has been almost two years now, she has dated two people. Fact! And in her entire life, I think she’s dated around five or six people.”
So, is he one of the five or six? “I think it would be incredibly unprofessional and idiotic for me to do that. To go on tour for six months with someone and hook up with them just before you go out on tour, which is what people think we did, that’s just a really silly thing to do, because the tour would be very awkward by now, and it’s not, so that’s that.”
Ed adds that his reason for sticking up for T is simply because they're friends. “I don’t like it when people take shots at her because I do know her personally, and I think people get the wrong end of the stick. She’s so successful, and she’s so nice and sweet to everyone that she meets, there is nothing bad to say but she was being pictured with a lot of dudes.” As to whom Taylor should date next, Ed suggests, “A vet. She likes cats.”
The Red tour continues Thursday in Houston.
The Angles:
- At least someone besides Taylor has the scoop on her love life! Very cool of Ed to set the record straight.
- Taylor probably appreciates the kind words but would be the first to say she doesn't need anyone to stick up for her.
- A vet might be a smart move for Taylor! Or not. Her feline Meredith travels with her everywhere she goes. T might turn into a jet-setting, crazy cat lady.
