After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn’t know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months. There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe. My fear of violence has continued into my personal life. Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online. You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things. Everyday I try to remind myself of the good in the world, the love I’ve witnessed and the faith I have in humanity.”

Angelina’s age isn’t an issue either – the idea has always been to de-age Angelina using CGI so she can offer a full portrait of Céline’s journey.

Dear Fonseca,
We were eating dinner last night when my 12-year-old son told my husband and I he wants the new Air Jordans. My husband immediately shot him down and told him we were not going to buy him the sneakers. I told my son that if he makes the honor roll during the first semester of the upcoming school year we will get them for him. That caused an argument between my husband and I. My husband says we should not be rewarding our son for getting good grades because getting good grades is his job. I told my husband we should reward our son for working hard. It will teach him about setting goals and achieving them. What do you think about this? Should kids be rewarded or is my husband right?
