Jolie makes first public appearance after mastectomy

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on Sunday attended the London premiere of Pitt's zombie thriller World War Z – Jolie's first public appearance since announcing last month that she had undergone a double mastectomy. The couple said they have been moved by the outpouring of public support following Jolie's disclosure. Jolie said she felt great and was "very happy to see the discussion about women's health expanded" by her announcement. "After losing my mother, I'm very grateful for it, and I've been very moved by the kind of support from people," she said. Pitt told reporters: "The fact that she was not frightened of this, what she would have to go through to do this, to take this spectre away and ensure that she would be there longer for our family – I get very emotional about it." – AP

Amanda Bynes takes a shot at RuPaul

I had nose surgery after my mugshots so my nose and I are gorgeous!" RuPaul responded to Bynes: "Derogatory slurs are ALWAYS an outward projection of a person's own poisonous self--loathing @AmandaBynes." The troubled 27-year-old star was arrested on May 23 on charges of drug possession. She was reportedly evicted from her Manhattan apartment on May 28 after her neighbours filed a complaint. – The National staff
