While I appreciate her need to help refugees and such, Iraq of all places?? She has 4 small children to think of, could lose their mother, all so she can be a do gooder, one thing she should have passed on, IMO.
I hope she is pregnant.
i agree JEH...i would be disappointed if she was pregnant & in Iraq. if family meant the most to her she should be home nurturing her body & her children. there are many ways she can be "saving" the world right here in this country. i wish reporters would stop caring about which celebs were pregnant & who isnt until the celeb came out about it.
That journalist sounds like an absolute idiot. I'm glad Angelina shot her down. Why don't journalists understand there is a line? She's not there to talk about personal issues so why even ask?
But I think it's fantastic what Angelina's doing. She sets an example to everyone out there. She also went to Pakistan after the earthquake when she was pregnant with Shiloh. What's your point? Fear should never stop anyone from going to another country and trying to change lives. And plus, she has always said that if something were to happen to her whilst working for the UN, that would be the legacy she would leave for her children and I agree.
If we all lived by the logic shown by JEH and gia, we would never step foot outside our own doors. In fact, many people do live by that logic which is why the world is in the sorry state it is.
Kudos to Angelina for continuing to make a difference to the people who need it most. You are a hero to them.
i completely disagree with JHE and gia.
this is who Angelina is. if she limits herself because she's a mom and pregnant, then she will not be Angelina. she's doing what she loves and her children will one day appreciate and love her even more for that.
and yes, there are ways to help in this country but third world countries are not even remotely close to the worst neighborhoods here.
i commend and admire Angelina for her strong desire to help these countries.
That outfit is not something Angelina would usually wear. I think she is pregnant. Her top is way too loose, you can tell she is trying to hide her midsection. Her dress she wore to the most recent awards show was really loose to. Of course I understand that you can't always tell if someone is pregnant just by the clothes they wear ;)
Only time will tell, and I totally agree with her, she shouldn't have to talk about it unless she wants to. It will come out sooner or later. 8^)
Shame on her for wanting to make a difference! Why can't she just be content to stay home and be a rich celebrity?
Wow. Now we don't give credit to "do-gooders" either? She can't win and I'm glad she doesn't try. The way she balances family, career and her role as humanitarian should be inspirational, not reason for condemnation.
I get the feeling this is going to be another jolie-pitt post lock because i see more griping about her being in iraq to come. but i have to agree somewhat with amanda if we all lived by that mentality very little will get done in this world i'm pretty sure her and brad talked about this trip if they were ok with it who are we to criticize. and from what i've read from articles this morning she spent most of her time in jordan working on her educational program with Queen Rania she only went to iraq this morning and is now on her way home. It seems thats done a lot on this board like we know better then these people how to raise their families.
Amanda, you said it best when you said, "If we all lived by the logic shown by JEH and gia, we would never step foot outside our own doors. In fact, many people do live by that logic which is why the world is in the sorry state it is."
sure are a lot of judgemental people. I am sure that the displaced refugees, who have no homes, are glad that Angie is trying to help them.
She is an extraordinary person; being pregnant doesnt mean you are sick and can't do things. And I think it is insulting to say she is "trying to save the world". She cares about refugees and their children. It is her job as UN Ambassador to highlight the plights of these people. She's done an amazing job as ambassador for the past 7 years. The UN is happy with her and has said whenever she brings awareness to issues, they get huge donations.
She is very smart and I am sure takes great precautions with her travels.
I guess some people would prefer her to stay home and put on some fancy dress and just attend benefits. Nothing wrong with that, but I admire the way she does actually does the work.
Great post Amanda. You said all I wanted to say and more.
ps I really don't like the term "do gooder". It is insulting and demeaning and really diminishes her work with the UN.
I think it is obvious that she is, so why ask the question, she was quiet about Shiloh as well.
It's soooo obvious. If she wasn't pregnant she just would have said no. She's said it before. She obviously is pregnant. But if she is (and i believe she is) i really don't understand how you can make time for 5 kids...all under the age of 6
She sure looks a bit fuller - especially in the face & upper body.
Good for you, Angelina.
She could have just attended the “Raising Malawi” event and felt good about herself, but no, she actually went to where it’s really happening. It was great that when the CNN correspondent asked her why she was risking her life, she asked her why she was risking HER life? Basically that they’re both there because there’s a need to be there.
Also, talking about personal issues like whether she is or isn't pregnant would most likely overshadow the reason for her trip. She was wise not to comment at this time.
Im thinking: yep deffo preggers if not she would have denied it straightaway..Ooooo another little Jolie/Pitt baba! if Shiloh is anything to go by this next one will be super gorgeous..i know its a little early as she hasnt even confirmed it but i think she will have another girl:-)!!!!!
She waited until she was in her 4th month with Shiloh to say anything. She has the right to wait til she is ready to announce if she is pregnant.
To everyone being critical and negative about Angelina's humanitarian work - it does not matter what you think, do, or say:
“The opinion that really counts is that of the world’s refugees, millions of whom have benefited directly from the work of angelina jolie…..they love her….”
Ron Redmund, Chief Spokesman, Office of the UN High Commissioner for RefugeesUNHCR) Geneva about Angelina Jolie.
Translation: "Yes I am pregnant but thats not what I am here to talk about".
I think Ange is absolutely AMAZING- She truly does want to help make the world a better place. She doesn't just sit from her Hollywood office and talk about making a difference, she gets out there and DOES it.
It's incredibly hard heather but it can be done my husbands sister does a really good job with five and i barely make it with one. LOL. And Maddox is six and has a birthday in august so if she's do early fall it'll actually be 4 kids under 5.
So, Angelina should just stay barefoot and pregnant and never leave the kitchen? It's the 21st century, and traveling does not harm a fetus - Shiloh is proof of that. Where does it say that being pregnant means you're suddenly so fragile you break if you even life a finger? Angelina is doing something with her life, and she's proven that she can be trusted to know her own limits.
And as for that interviewer saying she "wouldn't press it," I think her asking after Angelina told her not to IS pressing.
I love Angelina. She is such an inspirational person.
BTW, my cousin is pregnant with her 6th child. Her oldest just turned 7. (she has a set of twins) April was just meant to be a mom, she is amazing and the kids are very well behaved mostly, and very happy and healthy. I don't think I could do it, but some women just seem to thrive on having a big family.
Myself, I have my hands full with 2.
Nicole- I think people were refering to Angelina travelling to IRAQ- being such a dangerous area, rather than just travelling in general :)
I'm really proud of Angelina. Unlike some celebs, she's one of those celebs who actually sets a good example by helping out other countries in need, so others can follow. It's good she taking the time to do that, but I hope she balances things out so she can have time to be around Brad and the kids because being with family is important. Also I think she is annoyed about these pregnancy rumors. Even though she knows she's a popular celeb, she just wants to be a normal like any other person who's not in the celeb world. It's no one's business anyway to brag about it and keep asking her if she's pregnant just like what that journalist did. If she wants to announce she's pregnant, I'm sure she will tell. It's no one's business to brag to her about it. JUST LEAVE HER ALONE PEOPLE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED.
I think the only reason Angelina has not announced it is probably because she had this trip on her agenda…and didn’t want to attract undue attention. Especially going into a war zone.
Quick Question
Where do pregnant Iraqi women go to? Surely they don’t stay in the country…I mean I bet the moment the pregnancy test comes out positive, they are immediately shipped somewhere else…no? I’m just asking because I’m trying to understand where the hoopla over AJ being pregnant and going to Iraq is coming from. As we speak… AJ, who is visiting for 3-4days is 100 times safe than the Iraqi women who live there.
Heather: I understand how someone can question how parents manage to spread their time/attention between 5 or more young children, but believe me, it can be done. I have a cousin that is just under 30 and her and her husband have 6 beautiful, very intelligent and very well-behaved children. Their ages are 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 & 5 months(no kidding). My family has said many times that they don't know how they do it, yet they do. And amazingly well. She also homeschools her children and as I said before, they are very intelligent and IMO, smarter than the average child their age. If you were to spend time with them you would be able to tell that they are being brought up in a loving home, with morals and lots of attention, all without the help a single nanny or tutors(don't know if Brad and Angelina have any). Now I know that my cousin's situation is a bit different than the Pitt-Jolie home, but I said all that to say that what looks hard or impossible just works for some families and works well. Other parents still haven't mastered being a good parent to 1 child. But there are many out there who have mastered being parents to several. So anyway, I don't think you were critizing them, I just wanted to respond because it comes up every now and again in posts about the Pitt-Jolie family. Now, I understand that we really see only a glimpse of a day or week of these celebrity familes through these photos and have no clue as to how these familes REALLY operate, but I would guess(I use that word strongly) that if the world's eyes are still watching these kids in 20 and 30 years, we will be impressed with how well they have turned out. It's just a guess though.
Also, I applaud you Amanda and others. I feel the same way.
well - i think her comments settle it - she's pregnant. and how AWESOME of her to go to iraq. i am not a huge angelina fan - but i think she is clearly trying to make a difference in this world.
I do agree that she is pregnant too. And my husband is one of eight all two to three years apart some even 1 or 2 years apart and two are adopted. I don't think this should be an issue of how many children they have and how close in age they are. Some people are just great raising a large family and some aren't. Plus they have money to get help. Now, the real question is what country is she going to have the baby in?
Oh blah blah ~ The only thing I'm more curious about is if she's indeed pregnant with Twins!!! Now that's news worthy in my book..lol
I was also thinking that Angelina truly is a unique person. There really is no one like her, especially when it comes to her humanitarian work so for us to compare what we would do in her situation is just pointless. We cannot even imagine her situation, you know? She does a great job balancing everything. She seems to be a person who makes every minute in her life meaningful. And is true to only herself and her family.
Yeah a beautiful baby is on the way! I hope it is a boy this time just so we can see one of each from them. I think they are great parents! I wonder if they are ever going to get married, but hey if it works that way more power to them. Not that I am implying you have to be married to have children as I was not with my first :)
I almost hope Angelina isn't pregnant. I hope she's just picked up some much needed weight. She looks so much healthier than she did after her mom passed away.
In any case, Angelina knows the dangers of going to Iraq. I think her point is, if it's dangerous for her to visit then it's too dangerous to live there - particularly for children.
She's fantastic! She seems to be pregnant so I say Congrats to her and Brad and their beautiful family.
haha LOVE that angelina shot down the cnn reporter. it's a sad day when the woman's in iraq trying to bring attention to the situation there and the cnn reporter feels the need to ask about whether or not she's pregnant. i think she's pregnant too, but there's a time and a place to address that, and that time and place is not in the middle of a humanitarian mission in iraq.
I read a few of the posts on here and I just want to say that I do think Angelina is a little "weird", a bit "non-traditional" perhaps..but she is awesome. I really like her and I think she is helping to change things to make the world a bit better for HER children and OURS. AS far as her being pregnant (maybe) and going to Iraq and putting herself and her possible fetus in danger..I agree with a post further up. Iraq woman don't flee the country as soon as they take a test. My husband is in the AirForce and he puts his life on the line every day. Every single day!! If it weren't for the things he does..people in this world wouldn't have the luxuries and freedoms that they have today. We have 3 children and if we lost him we would die ourselves, but we would all know that Daddy was making the world safer and more comfortable for us and for all of you. I think what Angelina does is commendable. She seems terrific and I hope she is pregnant, and if and when she decides to share that news is up to her.
In response to mimi's comment - granted she did not mention her pregnancy with Shiloh until she was 4 months along but that was only because Brad was still technically married to Jennifer Aniston when she got pregnant and would have created an even greater public rebuke of their relationship. It would have been tacky to announce before she did then, but she's got nothing to hide or be ashamed of this time around!
I want to say a word of support for the journalist... she wasn't being an idiot and as a former journo I resent that remark. She was probably given a press release from AJ's rep and told to ask only these questions. This is the way they try to control the story. Is this better journalism? No. She asked the question most people are dying to know the answer to (I mean, really, why else are we all read and love this site?). To me that's GOOD journalism - asking the questions people want answers to, even if you know you'll get shot-down by the interviewee. Imagine if Woodward and Bernstein had only asked the questions they were expected to. I know this is hardly bringing down a president but the journalistic principle is the same.
I'm going to lay off the other topics.
I think she IS pregnant and I'm going to be so HAPPY when they announce it officially! Please we've been down this road before w/ celebs and trying to keep it mum. Who cares if she is or isn't. Let her keep it to herself for as long as she wants. However if she truly hates speculation then the wise choice would be for her to just put it out there but I feel she really wants the media to focus on other things besides her impending baby bump!
maybe we'll get a little brangelina boy this time *squeals like a little girl*
With all the humanitarian work that both Angie and Brad do, I hope they do have a lot of children and raise them to be just as globably focused as their parents are. Think of how much they will be able to accomplish!
1. I think Angelina is pregnant. And like most of you, I think it's obvious! And I'm happy about it and hope it's with twins. And I'm not even an Angelina fan.
2. I think that there is a difference between pregnant Iraqi women being in Iraq and pregnant (celebrity) US women to be in Iraq in that there are many people there whose only goal in life is to kill Americans. Not all of them...not even a majority of them, but some of them. I think that is the point the first two posters were trying to make without getting political.
3. Give the fact laid out in #2, it is up to Angelina to do what she feels comfortable with. I wouldn't go there or a number of other countries where food and drink is dangerous, but I also don't have the money to take the precautions necessary either. And Angelina's a smart cookie so I'm sure she's in good hands! And non of us are in her shoes so let's stop stepping on her toes!
4. This site is called celebrity-babies...it's to talk about babies...not to bash each other...or celebrities. Let's keep it friendly!
Here's a link to a video of the entire interview if anyone's interested. She goes into detail explaining why she's there and why it's so important to her.
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/02/07/jolie.transcript/#cnnSTCVideo
It's obvious she is pregnant, she looks it and by not confirming it, proves it. If not, why wouldn't she just say, no I'm not pregnant like she has in the past. As for going to Iraq, I think it's a bit dangerous when your pregnant, and have small children, but to each is own. I wonder how many kids they will have altogether. I always knew they would have another bio child, and I think in the near future they will adopt an african american child for zahara considering angelina has said she wants her kids to have someone to relate too. So that's at least 6 kids for them. That's a lot of kids, especially when they are close in age and both parents have major career's, but they have the money for nannies, cooks, and people to help them do stuff like say laundry and help out, so it won't be nearly as hard for them, as it would be your average person with so many kids. I like to see them have a boy, to see what a son of their's will look like, but for some reason I think it's another little girl.
I think Angelina is pregnant, she doesn't want to confirm it. Her last publicist released the news before she even started showing. Maybe she wants to do things differently this time.
well she gave Pax a look a like sibling and now Shiloh may get a look a like sibling so where does that leave Zahara? I assume that she'll be adopting another baby soon after this one is born. But I remember when Angi used to say she'd never have children. Maybe a part of her still feels guilty of having her own when she always prefered to just adopt.
She flies halfway around the world to bring attention to the situation of refugees in Iraq and CNN of all networks uses that to dish about her rumored pregnancy? That is just embarrassing for them.
I, too, think she's pregnant. However, I am surprised she hasn't confirmed. She confirmed her pregnancy with Shiloh when she was about 4 months along, and being that she is obviously showing, it appears that she is at least that far along with this pregnancy.
Angie is the last celeb I would expect to pull a Christina or J-Lo. Then again, maybe she will confirm soon! :)
I don't think she is expecting twins, though. She doesn't look nearly big enough to have more than one baby in that belly.
All of that said, I do have a feeling that after this baby arrives, they will adopt an African sister for Z. Anyway, if she is indeed pregnant, I, too wonder what country she will choose to have the baby in. :)
I forgot to add....Does anyone know where the J-Ps have been lately? We haven't seen any pictures of the kids since the beginning of January (or possibly the end of December, I can't remember which), and usually we don't go this long without seeing a pic of at least one of the kids.
^ They've been in LA but have been laying low. They will be going to Texas in March for Brad's new film with Sean Penn.
They have been in Brad's hometown, Springfield Missouri for the New Year and early Jan, then came back to LA when the awards season began. It sounds silly but I do miss "seeing" them! Little Zahara must have celebrated her third birthday last month and we haven't seen her since. I can't believe Pax is now four years old! They're growing so fast!
It does seem as though Angie is pregnant but I guess we'll have to wait and see - there have been enough false alarms in the past. If there is a baby on its way, I'm guessing it will probably be here around summer, and by that time Mad, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh will all be starting school / preschool (assuming little Shi is started at the same age as her older sibs). So, Angie might only be caring for the newborn during the day at that stage. If they have all the kids at home, I'm sure they know them well enough to manage (and if not, they always have the benefit of hired help when or if they need it).
For all of you who do not believe that parents should put themselves in real danger, I guess police officers shouldn't be allowed to have kids. I'm sure she is being careful and she probably has more bodyguards than you can count. I commend her, actually. Some women forget about the rest of the world once they have kids.
I hope this comment goes through - I'm not trying to be mean.
Sorry to comment again, but I just realized that I didn't actually comment on the post, just other comments.
I love that she's pregnant and I hope they add more kids via adoption and pregnancy. :)
She has the right not to talk about it, maybe she is not that far along yet and you just don't know what will happen. I think it was wrong of the journalist to ask.She's CNN, not some tabloid and Angelina is there to raise awareness of important matters not make it all about her pregnancy.
X17 actually had some new photos of Brad with Zahara last week!
@Steffi and Nicole- I 100% agree.
In regards to Angelina going to Iraq, neither confirming nor deny a pregnancy, and possibly having 5 young children, I have always been a big Angelina fan because because she is unconventional. Honestly, if she had cancelled this trip because she's pregnant and it might be dangerous what would that say? That would completely negate that work she has done over the years and make her seem like a hypocrite. A big part of the message people get when they see her out doing humanitarian work is that no matter who you are, you are never above helping others. I have always thought she was a great role model, she shows that it is okay to be different and now follow the pack (Admittedly it was weird that she wore a vial of Billy Bob's blood as a necklace though). I also commend her response during the CNN interview, I think it drove home her point that people should be more focused on the plight of third world countries than her personal life.
Lastly, I think she is pregnant.
All I can say is yay! A few months ago I predicted that both her and Gwen were pregnant and it now looks to be true! (Even though neither were showing at the time, I just had a hunch!)
Normally I would join in the fun and "speculate" about whether or not certain celebs are pregnant or not.Since I got married,I put on a bit of weight (mostly coming off of BC pills) and everyone seems to ask "Are you pregnant ? " to which I want to say "no, i'm just fat". Now I understand what these celebs go through with us scrutinizing their outfits, parenting and bad/good photos.I'm glad CBB is a good respectable celebrity site.We need more sites like these !!
As far as Angelina's humanitarian work is concerned, I find it absolutely rude that the reporter for CNN -ahem- CNN would get involved in all the rumor stuff. It shows that she is serious about her work and she is not going to let it get sidetracked by things going on in her personal life.
Sarita, really? Perhaps we will see those pics on CBB soon then (unless, that is, they go against CBB's policy of "no upset children", "no parents trying to shield their children", etc.)? If not, then I may just have to go to X17 (ordinarily, I make it a point NOT to go there as I cannot stand all the rude comments that get posted there and the rumors they spread. I am so glad CBB choses to moderate their comments!)! :)
Maybe she just doesn't want to share at the moment, and it was a bad time to even ask! I mean, CNN isn't one of those celebrity gossips news stations, at least I didn't think they were, where they'd ask about a pregnancy! And if she was doing an interview about her latest overseas humanitarian mission, then they should've just stuck to that.
Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with her answer. But, as for the still rumored pregnancy, for a woman who usually wears form-fitting stuff, even when it's jeans and tops, and from some certain angles where she actually looks pregnant, I want to say she definitely is and wants to keep it quiet for now. Besides that, she's been looking a little fuller lately.
Either way, I wouldn't mind if she truly is. :)
I want to comment in support of the journalist (and thank lilybett for supporting journalists). The reason why CNN and other news sites ask the "tabloid" questions now is because they need to stay relevant in popular culture, so to say. Think about it- newspapers are quickly dying because of the internet, more people read fluff stories than hard news, etc. Respectable news channels are losing their livelihood because people would rather watch TMZ TV or something like that, so they need to provide both hard news and fluff to keep viewers and advertisers. Trust me, as a recent journalism graduate trying to break into the industry, news journalists do not want to ask these questions most of the time, they have to. I doubt the journalist spent money on an education thinking 'I hope I get to ask celebrities if they're pregnant!". Unfortunately, journalists have to give the public what they want along with the facts and happenings of the day. Also, like lilybett said, journalists can't just do what publicists tell them to or else there would never be a real story. The news would be even more controlled than it already is.
No, I don't think she should have been asked that question at that time, but I REALLY do not see what the huge deal is about her always hiding it. Who cares? Everyone knows she is, anyway and by her never coming out to answer the question is ridiculous. "Yes, I am. We're thrilled." THE END.
CelebBabyLover: I don't think CBB will post them since it is already a few days ago that they were posted at X17. They were posted as exclusive so maybe that's why?
They don't look upset in the photos although X17 does day that Brad wasn't happy to see them.
Sarah's note: Yes, I saw the whole set of pics at x17 and didn't post them because Brad was clearly aggravated.
to chickie
Brad and Jen's divorce was signed off by an LA judge in August. the october decree was just a formality having to do with property distribution. They were both offically "single" in August 2005. Angie became pregnant in Sept 2005.
She didnt confirm til January because like most women, we prefer to wait til after the 3rd trimester.
I think angie will probably wait til next month or so, if she chooses to announce.
Well, it seems obvious to me that if she is pregnant, one reason she wanted to keep it secret is because of this trip. She wants the attention on her humanitarian work and the refugees, and NOT whether she is pregnant or not.
I hope she is, this is perfect timing, she is not working on a film this year, plus she has said she wants more bio children as well as more adopted.
time will tell.
Why are people making excuses for this 'journalist'? The woman is the epitomy of unprofessionalism.
You're in the middle of a war-zone with a respected humanitarian and you *have* to ask if she is pregnant? Please, she didn't *have* to ask her that. The journo saw her name in lights; the woman who got the scoop of the year. She was thinking of herself and no more. It showed such a lack of respect to Angelina.
You'd expect that from Fox, not from CNN. There is a time and a place for those kind of questions. Iraq was neither the time, nor the place.
I believe Angelina was already pregnant when her pants ripped that time. All of the outfits she has been wearing lately are not her style at all and very loose, like JLO was doing before she couldn't hide it any longer. If you see the pictures of Angie in Iraq, she is very covered. Her normal attire is usually well-fitting in order to show off her figure. She is obviously pregnant to the point of no denying. She just has not confirmed it, but it is obvious. While I would not have traveled to Iraq pregnant, that is what Angie does. Just like I would not have given concerts at 6 or 7 months like Jennifer was doing (and didn't she fall at one of them). But that is what she does. I can't balance on high heels not pregnant. I don't see how someone heavy with twins manages to.
Daze- Good point, but I'm not so sure she was pregnant when her pants ripped (and BTW, I've heard that it was actually her zipper that came undone or something, rather than her pants ripping.) That was back in what, October or November? It doesn't seem to me that she would go that long without confirming. Then again, she got pregnant with Shiloh in approxamitely September of 05, and didn't confirm until January of 06.
Also, she doesn't appear to be showing that much now, and I'd think she'd be showing more if she really had been pregnant when the pants incident happened (unless I got mixed up and that incident actually happened sometime in December). :)
Also, out of total curiosty....Do you guys think she'll confirm soon, or pull a Christna/J-Lo? Obviously it's no one's business but her own (and Brad's, naturally), but, as she did confirm with Shiloh, I am a bit confused and don't know what to think.
I do think she's pregnant based on the outfits she's been seen in. But I saw a rumor that she's had trouble with this pregnancy which could be another reason for her reluctance to announce it. Totally understandable either way to me.
I truly hope she is pregnant...
I believe her and Brad have a wealth of knowledge to share with their children and that they are raising their children to be very nice and generous people.
Incase any of you were wondering Angelina returned home safe and sound.
There are pictures at:
http://jjb.yuku.com/topic/242729/t/BRAD-ANGELINA-CHILDREN-MEGA-POST-part-3.html?page=137
Carrie Jo- I heard the same thing. Luckily, however, I don't think it's true. The only place I have seen that rumor thus far is Life & Style Magazine (it may possibly have been in Star or another tabloid as well). Considering that Life & Style is almost never right about things, I don't believe it for a second.
Personally, I am now thinking that she isn't neccesarily reluctant to announce it, but felt that an interview about her going to Iraq was not the time or place to do so. After all, as another commentor pointed out, if Angie had confirmed her pregnancy in that interview, all of the attention would have been on the pregnancy rather than what she was doing in Iraq. If I were Angie, I wouldn't want that, either.
I'm guessing that she will confirm it either later this month or next month. :)
