Angelina Jolie speaks with CNN from Haiti, and addresses the question of whether a Haitian child will be joining her family with partner Brad Pitt.
Christiane Amanpour asks Jolie, "Look, you raised the prospect of yourself as an adoptive parent. Obviously, there's been a lot of speculation as to whether you will adopt from Haiti. Obviously, you're saying, not now, but will you? Is that something that you are looking at?"
Angelina responded, "I'm always open to children around the world. We're that kind of a family; Brad and I talk about that. But that's not what we're focusing on at this time, by any means. We're not here for that. We're here to see how we can help protect the children in country and scale up the needs here."

He was beyond pale -- he looked white. Before I got a chance to say hello, he was gone, driving off to the Viper Room, where he fell over and died. That’s a lesson."

Cardiologist Dr. Stephen Corday goes in depth explaining the heart procedure that former President Bill Clinton underwent on Thursday. Two stents were inserted into one of Clinton's coronary arteries on Thursday at New York Presbyterian Hospital, and Dr. Corday explains that a stent is like a small "metal scaffolding." He tells ET, "When the artery is ballooned open, the stent is then inserted and inflated and it continues to hold the artery open so the artery won't collapse." He adds that medicine is released through the stent to help hold the artery open. Of the procedure in general, Dr. Corday says, "Obviously this is a situation where things had to be done perfectly, but it's done in a routine manner throughout the United States, as a matter of fact, throughout the world."
