Anjelina Jolie: America’s first female president?
Agreed Anjelina Jolie is doing some really good work through her humanitarian efforts to alleviate the pains of refugees, but it’s early days yet for her to make a serious bid at politics.
However, news is that she finds Hollywood boring and has now set her sights on the White House. Yup, she wants to be part of the Obama administration and do more for the world.
Some insiders even say that Anjelina could well be America’s first female president 20 years from now. Though one can’t see that far into the future, all I can say is that Anjelina has her heart in the right place. So whichever work she takes up should do her good.
But Ange, I have just one thing to say. Politics is a different ballgame. You need to be cunning, super shrewd, thick skinned and brave all odds. Don’t know if you are up to it.
JFK’s affair with a 19-year-old girl REVEALED
He was in his mid-forties. She was 19. And they had an affair that lasted a year and a half.
Everyone knows John F Kennedy liked women (through the media ofcourse). But we are about to learn all the details of his affair with Mimi Beardsley Alford, an ex White House intern who was only 19 when she started dating JFK.
The relationship was revealed six years ago when a JFK biography was published. But Beardsley Alford, who is now 66, is about to publish her own book, Once Upon a Secret, where she’ll give her side of the story.
Mimi Beardsley Alford was described as a ‘tall, slender beautiful college sophomore’ at the time she got to know the US president up close. She is said to have accompanied JFK on a trip to Bahamas in 1963. She was also invited at pool parties, and media reports say she was once spotted hiding on the floor of the president’s car while he was leaving the White House (probably just to pick-up something that fell down there…)
It’s always hard to judge such relationships from the outside. Adults are free to do whatever they want. But we have to remember that JFK was a man in a position of power, much older than Mimi was at the time. Did he hurt Mimi’s feelings or did they just both had a good time? Did he take advantage of her naiveness? Or is it her who took her fun teasing the president while getting the opportunity to slip into the jet-set life of the most powerful man on the planet?
As sensationalist as this book may sounds, she will finally give us answers to these questions. And will allow us to get a clear opinion about this precise affair and similar ones.
