...official. The world's hottest human is in utero. ?Yes, I'm pregnant,? Angelina Jolie told a charity aid worker in the Dominican Republic, according to People magazine. After months of cozily co-parenting two international adoptees, Cambodia-born Maddox, 4, and Ethiopia-born Zahara Marley, 1, Hollywood's improbably gorgeous globe-trotting couple Jolie, 30, and her Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar Brad Pitt, 42, have decided to procure a new baby the old-fashioned way. The very public but oft-denied romance began amid rumors that Pitt and his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston separated because he wanted...
...cannot live in a world without standards.Embrace your Brad. Love your Brad. But please, if you want to make this world a better place, join Defamer.com in accusing Brad of being part of an elaborate “The Spanish Prisoner”-style plot to steal Zahara for Jen.

They were members, she says, of the Arab militia known as the Janjaweed, which over the past 18 months has slaughtered tens of thousands of black Africans like Abdulkarim across the western...
...Lincoln went for it. These 19th century naval disasters are satisfying largely in direct proportion to the suffering of the protagonists, and Riley's agonies are of truly Shackletonian proportions. But there's richness in the narrative too. Skeletons on the Zahara (the Z is a 19th century spelling) is more than a horror story. It's a tale about a man who discovers his own courage in the face of catastrophe, and an instructive fable about cultural contact: Americans and Arabs searching for firm common ground in a wasteland of shifting sands. --By Lev Grossman
