Blessed? Maybe, But Don't Even Try To Tell Me That Angelina Jolie's A Virgin

I'm referring to Angelina Jolie, of course.

PALEIGH,N.C. - A North Carolina artist intrigued by the public obsession with celebrity has found herself feeding that obsession with a painting of actress Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary hovering over a Wal-Mart check-out line.

Kate Kretz has painted for 20 years but none of her previous work has garned the attention given "Blessed Art Thou," showing this weekend at Art Miami, an annual explosion of modern and contemporary art.

My only question is, what the hell was she thinking?

The painting - acrylic and oil on linen- depicts an angelic Jolie in the clouds, holding her newborn daughter, Shiloh, with children Maddox and Zahara at her legs. Below them is a Wal-Mart checkout line. The painting is for sale for $50,000 through Chelsea Galleria in Miami, which represents Kretz.

I guess that she's thinking that a payday is on the way, and I'm thinking that she's probably right.

Attention Wal-Mart shoppers...paging Brad Pitt's wallet;please report to aisle 31 to be cleaned out.
