Brad Pitt + Angelina Jolie = saving the world one baby at a time?
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are classic "beautiful people." By now you know they are going to have a baby. What sort of child will this be? Handbag.com offers you a projection:   Not half bad. Certainly more traditionally beautiful than the Brit Rock look-alike produced by Jennifer Garner and…

you are a psychologist
