This is what happens when you don’t think about what you say.

Melissa Etheridge recently made some comments about Angelina Jolie’s choice to get a mastectomy, and they were far from complimentary.

However, the rocker has now said she wasn’t calling the actress "fearful" - just her decision.

That's right, mother****ers! Samuel L. Jackson has had ENOUGH of men not speaking out about health issues, so he's going to change it!

Specifically, he's the new face of the One For The Boys drive, which urges men to visit their doctor on a more regular basis — leading to earlier cancer diagnosis rates! Sam has always been about charity, and now he's knee-deep!

Many have applauded Angelina Jolie for her strength since announcing her double mastectomy last month, so we were more than a bit surprised when Melissa Etheridge spoke out and said the decision was made out of fear and not bravery.

Brad Pitt was recently made aware of the singer's comments, and understandably he couldn't help but disagree.

The World War Z actor said:

You shut your mouth when you say things like this, Melissa Etheridge!

We’re kidding! But wow did this catch us off-guard!

Angelina Jolie’s choice to undergo a preventative double mastectomy has been lauded as extremely courageous, but this singer doesn’t feel that way.

Etheridge, who beat breast cancer, said:

At 22, you feel invincible.

You feel extra invincible when you're in the shape of your life, and on track to one of your many goals. Gabrielle Neilan was on track to compete in the Miss Oregon USA pageant.

Then she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and ended up under the knife two weeks before taking that stage. And guess what? It didn't stop her!

While most people were busy freaking out about Facebook introducing hashtags, the Supreme Court was busy making what some are calling a "landmark ruling" against companies putting patents of human genes!

Angelina Jolie is one of the many people excited about the huge decision as it ties directly with her recent decision to get a double mastectomy!

PSA's are a dime a dozen, but we wish there were even MORE!

If you watch TV, you probably watch NCIS. If you watch NCIS, then you know exactly who Mark Harmon is!

Instead of taking down the usual kind of bad guy, he's in a new public service announcement aimed at increasing awareness about cancer immunotherapy! In other words, the use of one's own immune system to fight cancer!

Stand Up 2 Cancer and the Cancer Research Institute are behind it, and have just debuted the PSA. Here's what Mark said:
