An Open Appeal To The Jolie-Pitt Hair Police
I've been a fan of Allison Samuels' work for some time. But I cannot get behind her strange, continued appeals to actress Angelina Jolie about her adopted daughter Zahara's hair. She is, quite simply, missing the point.

Jennifer Garner Seeks Protection From Psycho Stalker
- Jennifer Garner has obtained a court order protecting herself from a man she believes is endangering her family. She claims Steven Burky has been "stalking and harassing" her, sending "packages and letters containing delusional and paranoid thoughts and following me around the country." The guy showed up at her house and said, "God has sent me a vision of you being persecuted in some manner that may result in your death." Burky has a blog called Satanic Panic, on which he wrote: "Are multitudes of adults resorting to human sacrifices and then repressing this information from fear of Christ..." [TMZ]

Leaving SNL? Really, Amy Poehler? Really?
- Amy Poehler is leaving Saturday Night Live! She'll step away after the November election to give birth to her first child, and she won't be coming back. "It's gonna be really hard — Boyz II Men hard — to say goodbye to yesterday," she says. "But like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down." Amy will still be on TV, though: She's getting her own NBC series from the producers of The Office. [LA Times]

Study: Child Adoptees More Likely To Turn Into Teen Terrors
If wee Zahara Jolie-Pitt turns out to be a total goth who listens to Morrissey nonstop and refuses to leave her room, Brad and Angie shouldn't blame themselves; adopted children are twice as likely to be diagnosed with an emotional or behavioral problem, says a new study out of the University of Minnesota. According to Time, "foreign adoptees are far more likely to internalize their problems, suffering more commonly from depression or separation anxiety disorders," explaining Zahara's potential black-clad teenhood. "Domestic adoptees, on the other hand, tend to act out." Before the University of Minnesota's research, it was assumed that adoptees were diagnosed with mental health issues more frequently than other children because their parents were often wealthy and had better access to psychiatric care than the average child; this study suggests that that the disparity could be due to genetics or poor perinatal care. "The deleterious effects may quite possibly have come before the adoption ever took place," study author, psychologist Margaret Keyes points out. More » -

Can The "Right" Name Make A Kid More Successful?
In today's New York Times, John Marion Tierney writes about names. Old studies showed that "children with odd names got worse grades and were less popular than other classmates in elementary school," he writes. "In college they were more likely to flunk out or become 'psychoneurotic.'" But more recent research shows that names don't really matter as much as we think. "Names only have a significant influence when that is the only thing you know about the person," says psychologist Dr. Martin Ford. "Add a picture, and the impact of the name recedes. Add information about personality, motivation and ability, and the impact of the name shrinks to minimal significance." But people (and not just celebs) love slapping kids with "odd" names.
