Angelina Jolie's adopted baby 'result of rape'
Angelina Jolie's adopted Ethiopian daughter was conceived after her mother was raped as she walked home from work, it has been reported.wo-year-old Zahara was born after her mother, Mentwabe Dawit, was assaulted in the darkness by a man who trapped her on a path outside the southern Ethiopian town of Awasa in 2004.
“He pulled a dagger, put one hand on my mouth, so that I could not scream. He then raped me and disappeared,” Mentwabe told Reuters in Awasa, 170 miles south of Addis Ababa.
The 24-year-old decided to keep the assault a secret.
Her attacker has not been traced.
“I feared the consequences of being raped in a community where rape is considered a taboo, even if what happened happened forcibly,” she said, tears streaming down her face.
Despite her fears, her own mother was supportive and helped her give birth in the family’s earth-floored house.
She named the child Yemsrach, meaning good news in Ethiopia’s Amharic language, but soon found that she could not care for the baby and fled the family home in shame.
“I was desperate and decided to run away, rather than see my child dying,” she said.
Mentwabe’s distraught mother eventually put Yemsrach up for adoption, in the belief her own daughter had died.
Her adoptive parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, changed the baby’s name to Zahara.
Now reunited with her mother, Miss Dawit said that she was very happy that her daughter is now a part of one of Hollywood’s most famous families.
“I think [she] is a very fortunate human being to be adopted by a world famous lady. I wish them both all the success they deserve,” she said.
Vanessa Hudgens: "My vagina is a wormhole to fame"
High School Musical starlet Vanessa Hudgens has told admirers on her social networking site that shagging her is a sure-fire way to Hollywood stardom:"My vagina is like a wormhole to stardom, guys," the starstruck actress tells admirers.
"I'm really interested in the stars," Vanessa continues.
"And in Hollywood astrology a wormhole is a topological feature of the kinda space/time continuum that is a shortcut to instant fame and riches.
"Look it up in the encyclopaedia for yourselves: A wormhole has at least two mouths connected to a single throat. Kinda provocative, hey! All them erotic bodily fluids...
"The wormhole is traversable, all kindsa matter can travel from one mouth to the other by passing through the throat. Sure glad ya can't get pregnant that way though!"
Hudgens' networking page has been inundated with thousands of hopefuls pleading for recognition of their stellar abilities.
"Maybe she'll host a contest to pick her wormhole astro-partner," a PR source added helpfully today.
