Angelina Jolie on Dateline

Angelina Jolie on Dateline

Namibia, Africa :: Probably no new pictures of  Brad Pitt, 42, and Angelina Jolie, 30, will surface anytime soon because they issued a privacy plea — "We love Africa and to be here in Namibia with our family is very special for us.  "To the local people who have been so kind and gracious, thank you for making us feel at home. As for the press, we kindly ask for privacy so that we can enjoy this beautiful country with our children."  But don’t fret my pets!  NBC News’ Ann Curry traveled to Namibia for an exclusive interview with Angelina Jolie, who has taken on a new cause, calling for all the world’s children to be given the opportunity to get an education. In the interview, airing this week, Global Education week, Jolie also talked with Curry about her new life and expecting a child.

ok so now I am on a soapbox because I am passionate about this:In the USA we have so called poor ppl-To me poverty is a state of mind- what makes someone poor in the eyes of others? is it the way they look, what they wear? Their housing or what? I will tell you-the classifications of class and income are based moreso on proper manners than anything else-Ex: Two black families in the USA living in the south. One family has 9 kids and another has 8. The 9 kid family lives in a small two bedroom home two streets over from the 8 kids family-Both attend the same church. However, the ppl at church think the 9 kid family is rich and the 8 kid family is poor? why? Both have both parents. Both dads work on the river hauling boxes (precursor to fedex!) Both moms stay at home. Here’s the difference:The mom of the nine kid family is organized because her mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother were. She divides her kids into groups. The three oldest girls take care of the three youngest girls-The three boys work outside in the garden-yes they have a garden-90% of the food they eat comes from the garden-When they buy bulk items like flour and sugar the mom takes the seams out of the gingham cloth that the flour come in, makes patterns from newspaper and makes her girls clothes. The three oldest girls were taught to do this also-All three girls can cook, clean, sew, change diapers, comb hair, and can food. The boys know how to plow, harvest, shell peas, save cotton seeds to put in your jelly jars so they won’t break in the winter. They also know how to build a shed and repair various items. The mom does laundry for a woman in town. From the money she makes she buys more cloth and makes clothes for the rest of the family-Her family always looks nice ;The 8 member family is at a loss as to how you survive-They also have a garden, but no one knows how to sew and their hygiene is not the best because they do not have money for soap all of the time nor deodorant-The oldest girls resent having to work so most of them get pregnant so they can leave home -By doing so-they take No survival skills with them and continue to perpetuate the idea that they are poor! Again-sorry for the long post but I am sure you get where I am going

Vote for Angie in the people poll.

she is absoulutly glowing and beautiful and couldn’t get more radius

#372 RudedogHey, Doggie, no worries, I have nothing to do with any knife! AG just asked where you worked, is all…. What she does after that is all her!AG, I think Rudedog is making nice with you, you can put the knife down. Back slowly away from the knife….

next to Denise Richards, Angelina looks like a nun. lol! And self-righteous people claim AJ is the worst. The DR-RS-HL-CS resort, hahaha, is so hollywood cliche, so dallas, so dynasty. so there’s goes your new soap drama.

Jolie opens up for a global cause Posted 4/25/2006 10:41 PM ET E-mail | Save | Print | Reprints | Subscribe to stories like this Enlarge NBC via AP Jolie, seen here with NBC’s Ann Curry, says she knows the baby’s gender, but isn’t sharing the information. By Karen Thomas, USA TODAYThose celebrity magazine reports that actress Angelina Jolie is due as early as next week differ from her announcement that she’s not quite eight months pregnant.Jolie, 30, sat down this week for an interview with NBC’s Ann Curry in Namibia, Africa, where the actress and her family — Brad Pitt, 42, and their two children — are living at a resort while they await the arrival of their newest member. The interview airs on Today Thursday (7 a.m. ET/PT) and Dateline Sunday (7 p.m. ET/PT).In her first comments about her relationship with her Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star, who divorced Friends actress Jennifer Aniston last year, Jolie tells Curry, "I don’t talk about our — my relationship in public. But we also don’t talk about it at home."It’s one of those funny things that just happens, and you live your life, and you’re a family. But you never actually discuss (it)."The whole relationship question, Jolie says, makes her "giggle." It’s "just kind of funny. If (Brad) saw this, he would probably understand why I was laughing. Because I just don’t know how to address that kind of thing."Jolie says she broke her silence with the media to further her latest cause: educational opportunities for children worldwide. When she looks at her son Maddox, 4, from Cambodia, and daughter Zahara, 1, from Ethiopia, she says, "I just think, especially my daughter, there’s no possible way she would have gone to school. She is so smart and so strong. And her potential as a woman one day is great."Hopefully, she will be active in her country and in her continent when she’s older. And because she’ll have a good education, she’ll be able to do that much more."The actress elaborates on the changes in her life in recent years: "My life is very full. I’m very proud when I see my children — already Mad, just how he adjusts to different places in the world and different people and his views and the kind of man he’s going to be. I’m very lucky." Jolie says she knows the gender of the child she and Pitt are expecting, but she doesn’t reveal whether Zahara and Maddox can expec

# 377 | malibumom that’s the truth malibumom…poverty is not a state of mind but a result of people unwillingness to learn skills to survive..to work hard and to sacrifice…..some poor people like your example of the 8 children family…they took the easy way out…no sweating and no stress but made a lot of bad choices…..and like what angie said that education is the way out of poverty, thus she is very passionate of her causes like this one about education…that all children should have the chance to get an education…my parents always told us that having education is the best way to survive in this world…material stuff will be taken away from you but not your education….education learn from schools (degrees/diplomas)and education learn from home…humility, respect, trust, loyalty…good manners!!

She looks content. I love that she’s fullfilling her dreams of family and important causes. Makes me want to become more involved with issues around the world.Does anyone know what boots she’s wearing?

She’s very pretty even if she has a big tummy that’s why brad’s crazy about her. & they love each other. They’re a perfect couple!!!!!!!!" way mag bo-ot !!!!!!!! "

angelina the sexiest pregnant woman i’ve ever seen!!!:)

Hello BAMZ+1 Fans, this is just in:Brad Pitt Denies Being Angelina Jolie’s ***** NAMIBIA - Brad Pitt told reporters in a conference call last weekend that he is not Angelina Jolie’s "or anyone else’s" *****. Mr. Pitt’s firm denial came after speculation had grown that his new Mohawk hair cut and recently acquired tattoo, his first, were evidence that Ms. Jolie had made him her *****. This sort of character assassination is the reason Angie told me we were moving to Namibia in the first place, said Mr. Pitt. I can assure you it was my idea to get my hair cut like Maddie’s [Ms. Jolie's four-year-old adopted son, Maddox, whom Mr. Pitt adopted too.] Nobody tells Brad Pitt how to cut his hair—or what color it should be for that matter. Furthermore, said Mr. Pitt, this style is not a Mohawk. If you knew anything about Namibian culture, which Angie does, you would know that this is a tribal warrior’s brush. Mr. Pitt’s close friend George Clooney seconded the notion that Mr. Pitt is not Ms. Jolie’s *****. Brad’s been his own ***** for as long as I’ve known him," said Mr. Clooney. Sure, it’s looked at times as if he was morphing into his latest squeeze—Gwyneth, Jennifer, Angelina—but he always did so of his own accord, not because anyone told him to." Mr. Pitt also informed reporters that getting a tattoo was his idea. "I had always wanted tattoos, lots of them, in fact," said Mr. Pitt, "but my ex-wife [Jennifer Aniston] didn’t want tattoos. She was always too busy worrying about her career whenever I suggested we try to get a tattoo together." Mr. Pitt spoke to reporters from the heavily guarded encampment he shares with Ms. Jolie, who will deliver their first biological child next month. The Namibian government has set up police security checkpoints to prevent anyone from traveling within ten miles of the encampment. The government has also forbidden anyone from taking pictures of Mr. Pitt and Ms. Jolie without their consent. South Africa’s Sunday Times reported yesterday that its photographer and three French photographers were ordered to leave Namibia or face arrest. Namibian Prime Minister Nahas Angula defended this action. "Ms. Jolie believes that photographing a pregnant woman defiles the spirit of the child she is carrying," said Mr. Angula. "We here in Namibia no longer hold that belief, but we respect a person’s right to privacy."

Lmao…..that is such crap! Which mag did that come from so I know to avoid it. # 391 | African Girl | April 26, 2006 11:46 AMI believe that is from pugbus website. I can’t remember the web address. But believe me haters won’t even look at the sources. I saw quite a number of negative responses for this news.

gorgeous!!! love her to death!!!

It seems that you all been sleeping away, you need an actress, doing her own promo’s, to know that there are many people living whit no conditions, or money, food, education or health? Do you need an actress to know that? Oh, you say, she is amazing? And I ask WHY? Because she is olding a person hand? Because she talking about poverty? Dont you know, It a reality, it is not news because she appears, because she in a photo, what is she doing? Are you all that blind to the real world?

You’re right we should give if we support her causes. I’ve felt a conviction for the last year to give. So I started with Yele Haiti, United Nations for Refugees, Witness, Global Campaign for Education and Genocide Intervention Network. But I’ve given to other charities such as Habitat for Humanity, ASPCA, Peta, Humane Society of the United States and Defenders of Animals. I know most have been for animals rights, which I feel is important, I hope my contributions towards humanitarian causes will help make a difference as well.

Just love everything about her. Beautiful inside and out. My favorite thing is her humanitarian work. Not a self absorbed hollywood diva. She’s fearless accepting the fact that she’s made a lot of mistakes in the past. What a beautiful person and equally beautiful is Brad and their kids.They’ve embraced all of humanity…Godbless this family!

MY MY MY I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT TO PRAISE SOMEONE WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PUT ANOTHER ONE DOWN . EARLIER I WAS A FAN OF JOLIE BUT NOW WELL THE ONLY THING THAT INTEREST ME ARE THOSE KIDS .HEARD THEY HAVE BEEN VOTED AS THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.GOD HELP ME THERE ARE OTHER FAMILIES IN THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD THAT DESERVE TO BE KNOWN AS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FAMILY .MY GOODNESS THINK ABOUT THOSE KIDS THEY ARE SO YOUNG AND DOESN’T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING BUT TO HAVE A FATHER WHO COULDN’T HOLD ON TO THE ZIP ON HIS PANTS WHILE BEING MARRIED TO ANOTHER WOMAN AND A MOTHER WHO IS SO HUMANITARIAN THAT " BRAD YOUR WIFE DOESN’T WANT TO HAVE YOUR CHILD ITS OK I’LL CARRY YOUR CHILD" MY A TRUE HUMANITARIAN AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SPOUSES TURN TO jOLIE SHE IS SURE GOING TO HELP YOU ALL.THOSE KIDS ARE SO YOUNG AND DOESN’T DESERVE SUCH PARENTS.

# 399 | eve | April 29, 2006 06:37 AMWhat does being a humanitarian have anything to do with one’s private life? Princess Di, one of the most famous of humanitarians, had several affairs. Audrey Hepburn was married and then left her husband for another man. Liz Taylor, needless to say, was married several times. But their personal lives do not detract from what they have done for people. Why do Aniston fans keep on bringing up what they perceived to be "cheating" when talking about Brad and Angie’s humanitarianism? And for Maddox and Zahara not deserving such parents - you might as well tell them that they deserved to die instead, since you know very well that is what would have happened to them if they were not rescued by Angie from the orphanages in Cambodia and Ethiopia.
