Rant ‘N Rave: Angelina Jolie Vs. Octomom

Posted by Irene Ogrodnik on February 21st, 2009


I tried my darn hardest to avoid ranting (impossible to rave) about the world’s most famous mother to 14 biological children. And you know I am not talking about Angelina Jolie—even though this particular pop-culture “celebrity” might wish otherwise.

But after reading about Nadya Suleman (better known as Octomom) this past month, I just had to give my two cents. I couldn’t resist. It’s like gossip mags avoiding photos and interviews from train wreck couple Heidi Montag and her douchebag boyfriend/husband/pet Spencer Pratt.

Impossible—I know.

By now you know how Suleman came to be Octomom. She was implanted with six embryos through in-vitro fertilization. Two of the embryos split, which resulted in the eight babies.

You also know that, according to the Associated Press, she has six OTHER children at home as well.

All under the age of seven.

She’s popping these kids out like…popcorn.

Suleman also has an uncanny resemblance to another famous celebrity mommy. Thanks to plastic surgery, Suleman (eerily) looks like Angelina Jolie. According to reports, Suleman denies she ever had any work done but pictures from someone’s past don’t lie.

Well, not all the time.

And while I do respect Jolie in many ways (except in the obvious home wrecker way), I still will wear my Team Aniston shirt. Still, in times like these, I must defend a woman who is NOTHING like Suleman.

ANGELINA:

-She’s making millions of dollars a year and can actually afford to donate 1/3 of her income to charity every year.

OCTOMOM:

-She is not even employed. She NEEDS Jolie’s charitable income.

ANGELINA:

-Unmarried mother raising a house full of biological/adopted children. She also has a multi-million dollar mansion with nannies. And her lover Brad Pitt to help. Or at least keep them occupied.

OCTOMOM:

-Unmarried mother raising a house full of biological children, She lives with her mother in a three bedroom house that, according to CNN, may face foreclosure. Her mother is her nanny. And no, she has no Brad Pitt-like lover/father-figure either.

ANGELINA:

She has a decent family support system. Her mother never bashed her and while her father and her do not get along, he still supports her in public.

OCTOMOM:

I don’t know where to start. Her mother questioned her daughter’s ability to care for her children while her father questioned her sanity on Oprah. Then they both state they just want the best for their daughter and grandchildren. So how much are they getting paid to publicly lash their daughter? Hope it’s worth it. The only thing that Octomom has yet to do is make out with her brother like Angelina. Thank God she’s an only child.

Who’s to blame?

First, someone needs to give this woman some (mental) help. A REAL psychiatrist—sorry Dr. Phil.

The doctors: What idiotic doctors even agreed to this procedure on this woman, knowing she was single, unemployed and already had an army of children? What people would do for money. Jerkbags.

The parents: Please, no fit parent would go on national television to speak about their child’s mental problem in this manner. Just not right.

Suleman herself: Listen woman. If Angelina was in your financial and mental situation, even she would get some help.
