...favorite story of the week involves Angelina Jolie’s recent appearance at a magazine cover shoot. According to the New York Post, she showed up with a vial of red liquid around her neck which she refused to take off, pooh-poohed all outfits suggestions, and had a set of fresh wounds on her arms. When asked about the cuts, she volunteered the reason: “I have to cut myself before sex,” said Jolie. Angelina, of course, has made it no secret that she enjoys wild sex with her husband Billy Bob Thornton...
