Melissa Etheridge calls Angelina’s double mastectomy ‘the most fearful choice’
Melissa Etheridge is a breast cancer survivor and has been cancer free, by her own account, for nine years. She was with her last partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels, throughout her chemo and breast cancer battle and then she got better, cheated on Tammy with a mutual friend, left her and tried to get out of paying alimony or child support. That’s not conjecture, Tammy pretty much aired all their dirty laundry when she found her lifestyle massively downsized in the wake of the split.
I wouldn’t give that full unflattering intro to Melissa if she had just said that she disagreed with Angelina

Melissa Etheridge Slams Angelina Jolie Mastectomy as Cowardly, "Fearful"
Melissa Etheridge has taken an unusual stance again Angelina Jolie.
With most of the world applauding this actress for undergoing a double mastectomy in order to ensure that a gene mutation would not lead to breast cancer, the singer has come out and labeled Jolie a coward.
“I have that gene mutation too and it’s not something I would believe in for myself,” Etheridge tells The Washington Blade. “I wouldn’t call it the brave choice. I actually think it’s the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer.
How does the artist arrive at that

Angelina Jolie issues statement on Supreme Court’s gene patents decision
On Friday, the Supreme Court finally made their ruling in the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics case. The case was complicated, and it involved the future of medicine, the future of DNA testing and pre-cancer screenings. Basically, SCOTUS ruled that human genes cannot by patented, which means that the ONE company claiming to hold the patent on the “faulty BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes” – if a woman carries the BRCA genes, she much, much more likely to develop breast and ovarian cancers – cannot “hold a patent” on the gene, because genes are “products of nature”.

One of Hollywood’s favorite actors for years, the Kentucky native is showing no signs of slowing down as he enters his sixth decade on this ninth of June.
A critical and fan favorite, he was 2012′s highest-paid actor while winning Best Actor at the Golden Globes for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
He also claimed the SAG Award for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and can be seen this summer with Armie Hammer in The Lone Ranger.
Not bad for a 50-year-old.
He’s also reportedly dating Amber

Brad Pitt goes solo to Sydney premiere of ‘WWZ’: sexy, boring or Kid Rock-ish?
Over the past week, Brad Pitt has been to five countries promoting World War Z. And this is pretty much the first time in a week that I’ve paid any concentrated attention to him. I can’t help it, when Angelina Jolie is beside him, she is the only person I’m really seeing. It’s not even that I dislike Brad – I’ve grown to like him so much in the past decade – but when Angelina around, no one really matters. I feel bad for Mireille Enos too – she was at the UK premiere of World War Z and no one paid any attention to her (and she’s Brad’s costar!) because it was Angelina’s big post-surgery
