To Nipple or Not to Nipple

Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, the way nature meant it to be

To avoid any controversy, Angelina Jolie's nipples were retouched out of the posters for Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life. Avoid controversy with everyone except for Angelina Jolie, who is annoyed that she was de-nipped: "I wanted my nipples to be there to see."

Famously, nipples were made nippy in Showgirls. But there are some nipples Gothamist doesn't like seeing: Nipples on body builders. Scary.

It's okay, Jason, I'm just giving you a hard time. My parents can barely remember my name, so that's much more of an issue than a momenty of blog identity confusion.

GAWKER? Christ. As if I don't have enough esteem issues.

Er, that's Angelina, not Angeline. Now she's got my typing all stuttered.

I completely agree with Angeline. I've loved her nipples since way back in 1995 when she did Hackers. They should be out there for everyone to enjoy. They do prove somewhat distracting when trying to pay attention to a movie, however.
