Angelina Jolie Knows that Being Mega-Rich Makes Motherhood Easier

Some reporter asked Angelina Jolie if she ever suffers from “mom guilt” like Chirlane McCray—because heaven forfend we interview a female celebrity without bringing up her womb—and she managed to dismiss the question, own her privilege, and stick up for low-income single moms.

The Hollywood superstar — and supermom — was asked about the First Lady’s infamous “mom guilt” as she promotes her motherhood-themed new movie, “Maleficent,” but promptly distanced herself from the stresses most parents feel.
“I’m not a single mom with two jobs trying to get by every day,” she told the Daily News when asked about McCray’s comments this week. “I have much more support than most people, most women in this world. And I have the financial means to have a home and health care and food.
“My kids, they’re here upstairs,” she added, pointing toward the ceiling of the hotel conference room where she was grilled by reporters.

She seems like a good lady. Also, JESUS CHRIST LOOK AT THAT PHOTO. [NYDN]


Gillian Jacobs is going to be on Girls.

Community star Gillian Jacobs has been tapped to leave her days of college hijinks behind, and move on to the hilarious and painfully realistic world of HBO’s smash series Girls. Jacobs is the first of her study group to be cast as a recurring character in a new series since NBC canceled the cult series earlier this month.
Girls‘ star, creator, executive producer, and all around HBIC, Lena Dunham, confirmed the news Wednesday afternoon via Twitter. “It’s true!” the actress tweeted. “The super-special Gillian Jacobs has joined us for Girls season 4. We are pretty lucky.”

Pro! I’m pro. It’ll be interesting to see her in something that’s not as stylized as Community. [E!]
