Oprah on African baby adoption craze
Recently stars like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Madonna have been in the tabliods for their African baby adoptions. Well Oprah Winfrey decided to put her two cents on it. Umm hello folks Oprah's the originator when it comes to adopting African babies! "HOLLYWOOD - Media mogul Oprah Winfrey has been secretly parenting 10 children in South Africa since 2002. The 52-year-old star has bought the school-aged youths a house, hired caretakers, sent them to boarding school and visits them several times a year. Winfrey has harsh words for critics of celebrity adoptions in an interview with USA Weekend magazine. She says, "They can stick it. It's a miracle when a child gets saved and I don't care if it's Brad Pitt and Angelina or somebody... we have not even heard of. "When I see them carrying around that little black baby, that is so OK with me. "The people who criticized Madonna don't know what they were talking about, because she saved a child." {Source} All I can say is preach Oprah preach! And in related news, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie resurfaces from their much publicized overseas trip in Pennsylvania!!!
"Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie outside Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pa. Thursday, Dec. 7, 2006. The couple visited Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural masterpiece for Pitt's birthday. Cara Armstrong, Fallingwater's curator of education, says Pitt said he wanted to experience Fallingwater ever since he took an architectural history course in college.
