    Angelina...Please take Zahara to get her hair done!!! Ask Brad's previous cast member, Taraji Henderson about a hair stylist for her. Zahara's hair is never maintained and braids would be so cute for her. Why don't you give Jada Pinkett Smith a call? Maybe she can help out.

  • Recently AJ was voted most beautiful woman in the world. I think many other women are more beautiful and they don't want to look anorexic. Ang is pretty but not the prettiest in the world by far.
