Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to Donate Wedding Photo Payday to Charity

In case it wasn't already obvious, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are officially the anti-Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Brangelina got married with slightly less fanfare than Kimye - and now we've learned that the famous stars will donate their entire $5 million wedding picture payday to charity.

Insiders confirm to Radar hat People and Hello! magazine “each paid $2.5 million for a selection of wedding pictures from Brad and Angelina’s wedding," with Pitt and Jolie Brad selecting "a photographer they had worked with from Getty" for the shots.
These now-iconic images include our first look at the Angelina Jolie wedding dress and also a romantic photo of Brad and Angelina kissing as husband and wife.
Instead of pocketing their millions, however, Pitt and Jolie will donate it to a "charitable foundation," this same source confirms.
They did the same thing in 2008 after being paid $14 million for pictures of twins Knox and Vivienne.

The cash will most likely go to the The Maddox Jolie Pitt Foundation, which was formed in 2003, after Angelina adopted her oldest son from Cambodia.

It supports various humanitarian projects around the globe, ranging from legal services to children in war-torn Libya... to providing clean and safe drinking water in third world countries, while also giving vaccines to poverty-stricken kids.

It's so selfish to have children, claims Actress Maxine Peake

Maxine Peake has questioned people’s motivation for starting a family, saying: ‘Having children is very selfish.’

The actress – who recently revealed her heartache at spending years trying to conceive – said there was a ‘vanity’ in wanting to continue the family bloodline.

Miss Peake, known for her starring role in BBC legal drama Silk, explored ‘every avenue’ – including IVF – before finally accepting defeat. She also suffered the agony of two miscarriages.

Her hardships have led the 40-year-old to reflect on why people have children in the first place.

She told The Times how an actor friend had announced to her that he was too selfish to have children.

It prompted her to reply: ‘No, you’re wrong. Having children is very selfish. There is a vanity and selfishness in some respects in believing you must continue your genes and bloodline.

Miss Peake said that watching her long-term boyfriend, television art director Pawlo Wintoniuk, 43, care for both his parents before they died had also made her wonder whether it would be less selfish not to have children.

She added: ‘It made me think I wouldn’t want to have my kids looking after me like that.’ Speaking of her struggle to conceive, she said: ‘Paw loves kids and we’ve had a go.

‘But it hasn’t worked. That is the case for many people. It is maddening, really, that women have these biological clocks, that just when they are getting used to one stage, they must go on to the next.

'I am so much more creative and brave than when I was a teenager. In my forties I have this fearlessness to keep exploring. I don’t mind rolling around on the floor any more, looking a fool.’

Miss Peake said that since she went public about her infertility, several female friends had thanked her for speaking out, saying the problem was often viewed as something shameful.

‘I find that horrifying,’ she said. ‘But they felt failures as women just because certain bits of their bodies didn’t work.’

Miss Peake had a disjointed childhood. Her parents divorced and her mother moved in with a new boyfriend, leaving Miss Peake to live with her self-educated, passionately socialist step-grandfather for six years.

He worked at Leyland Motors and, despite his intelligence, had no ambition to ‘better’ himself.

However, he did influence Miss Peake’s political beliefs. At the age of 18, she joined the Communist party. Although no longer active she has left-leaning views and has just finished a radio drama about women involved in the miners’ strike.

She and Mr Wintoniuk are now exploring adoption. ‘It might involve rethinking things, because I’m away so much,’ she said.

‘But being so close to my step-grandad, I know that relationships with people unrelated by blood can be very strong.’

Miss Peake is currently starring in costume drama The Village, in which she plays a farmer’s wife who loses her son in the First World War.

Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton Nude Photos to Be Displayed in Art Exhibit

Many believe the ongoing celebrity cell phone hacking of 2014 shouldn't be treated as a mere sex photo leak, but as a full-on sex CRIME.

But the folks behind Cory Allen Contemporary Art clearly do not feel that way, as the company has announced that the latest pictures of Jennifer Lawrence nude and Kate Upton nude will be placed on display in a new art exhibit.

• 
• 

Los Angeles artist will be responsible for the seemingly untoward idea, XVALA.
He’ll include these naked shots of Lawrence and Upton as part of his "Fear Google" campaign and put them up, unaltered, in his upcoming show "No Delete" next month at CACA's The Showroom in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

"XVALA appropriating celebrity compromised images and the overall ‘Fear Google' campaign has helped strengthen the ongoing debate over privacy in the digital era," said publicist Cory Allen.
"The commentary behind this show is a reflection of who we are today. We all become ‘users' and in the end, we become ‘used.'"

The life-size leaked images will be printed on canvas.
The totally exploitive exhibit will feature the artist's seven-year collection of shots found on Google of stars in their most vulnerable and intimate moments, one comprised by hackers or the paparazzi.
It will include the infamous Britney Spears' shaved head moment, along the leaked images of Scarlett Johansson naked, with the "Fear Google" logo covering her private parts.

In today's culture, everybody wants to know everything about everybody. An individual's privacy has become everyone else's business," said XVALA.  "It has become cash for cache."
He actually said this unironically.

Indian Girl Marries a Stray Dog To Ward Off Evil Spirit - Photos

An 18-year-old Indian girl has married a stray dog as part of a tribal ritual designed to ward off an evil spell.

According to DailyMail, Mangli Munda, from a remote village in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, wed the canine in a lavish ceremony. The wedding was hastily organised by village elders after a local guru led Mangli's parents to believe that the teenager possessed ill-luck and that marrying a man would bring destruction to the family and her community.

The baffled dog, Sheru, a stray found by the girl's father, was brought to the wedding in a chauffeur
driven car and welcomed by revelers. 

 

Mangli, who has not been to school, said she was not happy to wed a dog, but insisted that it will help change her fortunes.

The hesitant bride said:

'I am marrying a dog because the village elders believe that my evil spell will be passed on to the dog. After that is done, the man I will marry will have a long life.'

Mangli's father Sri Amnmunda agreed.
He said:

'The village elders told us that we should organize the wedding as soon as we can. We had to make sure that the evil spell is destroyed. And marrying a dog is the only way to get rid of the bad luck. Many weddings like this have taken place in our village and also the other neighboring villages. This is a custom that we truly believe in.'

According to the village's customs, the marriage will not affect Mangli's life, and she will be free to marry again later without divorcing the dog. 

Mangli added:

'My villagers say that many girls like me have followed this ritual and they have gotten rid of their evil spells and are living happy lives now. I will also be free to marry a man of my dreams after the evil spell is over. I will marry a man one day. It is the dream of every girl to marry a prince charming. So I am also waiting for my prince.'

At the wedding ceremony, people danced to traditional drumming, while around 70 relatives and local villagers attended the wedding. 

Mangli's mother Seems Devi said:

'Apart from the fact that the groom is a dog, we followed all customs. We respect the dog as much as we would respect a normal groom. We had to spend money on this wedding in the same way as we would in a normal wedding. But that is the only way we can get rid of her bad luck and ensure the benevolence of the village.'

Now with the marriage ceremony over, Mangli has to take care of the dog and raise him as a pet for the next few months.
