Harper's Bazaar criticized over Angelina Jolie cover |
Much has been made over that Harper's Bazaar cover starring Angelina Jolie (pictured left) in the past few days. Everyone from readers to journalists to bloggers have been left unimpressed by the magazine's decision to feature a photo agency picture of the actress on their July cover.

As if that wasn't strange enough, there isn't even an interview with Ange inside the mag, just an essay written by Naomi Wolf about the actress. As some have put it, it's bordering...

Its safe to say Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt -- the daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- is finally past her terrible twos, as she turns three Wednesday.
The beautiful blond girl was delivered via caesarean section in 2006 in Namibia, a country in southern Africa. Her early infancy was a normal one, assuming you're the daughter of a pair of world-famous, A-list multi-millionaire movie stars.
Her baby pics were sold by mom and dad for more than $7 million, and Madame Tussaud's made a wax figure of her when she was only 2-months-old.
