First off, and arguably the most important, Brangelina is no more. The world was shocked on September 20, when it was announced that Jolie filed for divorce do to “irreconcilable differences”.
The couple has 6 children together, with three adopted and three biological. And when it was later announced that Jolie was seeking sole custody of all six children, rumors and questions started swirling about this decision; including rumors of abuse on Pitt’s part (which led to an investigation).
TMZ reported that “Angelina became "fed up" with Brad's consumption of weed and possibly alcohol, and mixed with what she believes is "an anger problem" ... felt it became dangerous for the children.” If this is true, then it is clear why she would seek sole custody. However, this does not automatically mean that abuse was part of the equation, and it is unfair to assume so without proper evidence to support the claims. Pitt is reportedly fighting this and seeking joint custody of their six children.
With all of this crazy drama it can be easy to forget that a family, with many children involved, is being split up. The children are between the ages of 15 and 8, so they all depend on their family to support them; yet they are still old enough to understand everything that is going on. For the sake of the children, I hope that everything works out in their favor, and that they can move on and learn from this experience.

In other news, a few weeks back, a fourth grade teacher from Atlanta caused outrage for being too “hot”. Patrice Brown, also know as Paris Monroe, upset many people with outfits that they find inappropriate and distracting in a learning environment. While some of these outfits are a little tight, and could be view as inappropriate by some, other outfits being discussed include a tee-shirt and jeans. Brown also make sure to wear clothes in the classroom that is never low-cut or extremely short, making sure to cover up and not show excess skin. Yet people are still upset over a women with curves wearing clothes that fits.
The school even released a statement saying that they talked to Brown and she was cooperative and would abide by all the rules that the school has set in place. They seem to be taking her side on this, and even awarded her “Teacher of the Month” a few month ago, which sadly no one is discussing.
However, this drama has gain Brown a significant amount of instagram followers, now with about 297K followers (https://www.instagram.com/triceyl__/ ), and #teacherbae was even trending on twitter (you can click on it to see people's opinions and tweets on the topic as well).
Honestly this whole situation seems crazy. If she is abiding by the rules, and if the school sees no significant problem with her outfits, then why should people be so angry. I think Brown should continue doing her job and not let any negative attention affect her.
