Angelina Jolie on The Today Show
Ann Curry :: In what seems to be the middle of no where, on the edge of Namibia in Southern Africa. A very pregnant Angelina Jolie emerged from her private family vacation to speak on behalf of children in poor countries who don’t get to go to school. What is the worst, in your mind, of that?
Angelina Jolie :: God, there are just so many things. It’s really that thought of the potential of a human being. The lack of education causes death. More children die under the age of 5 when the parents aren’t educated. More people get AIDS when they haven’t had an education. Statistics prove that if every child was in school, every year, 700,000 less people would get AIDS.
AC :: It seems also, for you, kind of a personal thing. You have two children you’ve adopted. Both of you whom might have been in this same circumstance of not being able to get educated. And when you look at them and realize that…
AJ :: I look at them and just think, especially my daughter and how many millions of kids are out of school in her country. Especially girls. And I know how families with AIDS when parents die of AIDS, there’s no possible way that children can make a school fee. There’s no possible way she would have gone to school. And she is so smart and so strong. Her potential as a women one day is great. You multiply her by thousands and that is the thing that I can so clearly see when I look at her. Maddox — the amount of street children in his country… in all probability Maddox would have probably been one of the kids going the garbage picking in the streets. He would have been on his own.
AC :: It must mean much to you, as a human being, to be able to give them an opportunity they never would have gotten.
AJ :: I’m happy for them that they’re gonna have all this education and I hope, with it, they do some good things. That they’re good people. [giggles]

ANGIE gigling is pure joy of MOTHERWOOD not an act or anyting else that you haters are implying. She the most beautiful woman about to have a baby with the most sexy man on the planet , that makes her gigle even more.Sorry JEN JEN you had him for 7 years= no babyBAMZ+1 rock!
Handicapped Kid - What an appropriate name for someone who is clearly handicapped in the brain. LaurenIs that wood I see in your eye?
************************************I just want to address the issue that all you BAMZ fans keep talking about. The "haters." Don’t you think it makes Angelina and Brad nervous when you say such volatile and untrue things. You may not realize it, but you ARE provoking people. I just want to say to Angelina or Brad or their publicist or close friends or whoever… that although we may not approve of some of the things you do and may not agree with what you do at times and may show some DISTASTE (that’s all) we don’t "hate." That word was brought on by your psycho fanatics. I am not here to support you or your cause. Sorry. But I do understand what it feels like to be threatened and to have to watch your back. And in that respect I feel for you. I don’t want Angelina to think that anyone "hates" her. IT’S ALL TALK. It must worry Brad alot that that word comes up. And being pregnant and Brad with new responsibilites, it must make you guys (Brangelina) even more worrisome (or not). I just wanted to state for anyone out there (hopefully) who is close to Brangelina, that you don’t need to worry or get worked up over this whole "hater" BS and feel threatened. This is probably why you always have high security with you (army officers?). It must make you really scared (or not). Don’t be afraid and don’t listen to what certain fanatics say. You will be okay and no one’s going to hurt you, like your crazy fans seem to imply or provoke people to say. Just wanted to get that out there because I realize that Angelina and Brad, although they may not admit it, must feel very threatened and a little hurt by comments of people "hating" them.*************************************
AFRICAN GIRL BONJOUR,I found you here finaly,I was on JESSE JAMES thread.The article about photographing pregnant JOLIE is on The National Ledger website and I do not agree with it.ANGIE looks great I was just watching her over again on ET this morning on CBS.Talk with you later I got to go shopping for some FUFU, OKAZI and Smoke FISH for my Hubby.LONG LIVE BAMZ+1Family.
#253 Liz, a mentally stable person would not get so upset over the word "hater" that they would wish death on childern.If these people do not like Bamz they have a choice not to come here.Stop making excuses.
Geesh, I wish I was half as beautiful as her. I am her height and I am a brunnette , I carried my baby’s very well like her, but the face of hers is gorgeous. Yes I am quite envious of this woman. I hope the delivey goes smooth, mine did, she hasn’t seemed to have any problem yet. My babies pooped right out and my belly just went right back down, with her height she will look like her self again immediately,gaurenntee it!
#244 Handicapped KidYou’re really far off the money mate! I know people who have lead a full on rock n roll lifestyle and still managed to have normal kids - no genetic defects. You’re absolutely pathetic. May be you’re parents smoked too much pot, that’s why you’re unable to state something rational - you freak! Crawl back (over glass and used needles) to where you came from, better still, destroy your own genital organs so the world doesn’t have to suffer small minded people like yourself! AJ’s baby will be beautiful and healthy!
# 250 | Passing Through CAA, the agents Angie fired are Brad’s agents. Angie signed on with them in March 2005.

#244 Handicapped KidYou just come across as being an insignificant human being. Please grow up. And don’t have any kids of your own. Please!
MedullaLol….I saw your post on the other thread and replied. With so many threads, it’s hard to keep up. LIZAre you kidding me? Let me get this straight, AJ and BP have more to fear from people using the word hate than they do from people who say…..ehmmm let’s see1) I hope the die2) I pray lions eat them3) May their plane crash4) Their baby will be still born5)Their baby will be handicapped6) Their children are ugly…..and so much more. Ehmm Lizzy, I don’t know which part of the planet you’re from but any SANE person knows who to fear in this situation. You say we provoke people….my Goodness, that says a lot about those Provoked now, doesn’t it? If every LITTLE thing makes you angry enough to spew such hateful words, it shows what size of a person you are.I am not the least bit surprised that your attempts to rationalize this sick behavior, makes no sense whatsoever. No, what surprises me is the fact that you attempted it at all.Honestly, how did you come up with that?!
The other thing i realize is the reason for Jen’s statements, "Don’t feel sorry for me. It makes my skin crawl. These are real people." I think she was saying it because she is a good person and felt bad for any negativity or volatile comments that were made against Brangelina. She may be divorced, but she’s always been a good hearted open person who always thought of others (example, giving Brad a divorce & moving on with Vince).
African Girl, people are saying those things because you’re provoking them. Get that straight! And by the way, ARE YOU NUTS? What’s the MATTER with you?? You get volatile over the littlest comments against Brangelina. Look what you’re doing now? You’re trying to piss people off. What do you call that? Of course, you’re provoking people. You’re pissing them off into saying nasty stuff about Brangelina! You know what, I’m not gonna sit here arguing with you. I have better things to do. You people go way, way too far. It’s lunatic!
Good ne to all BAMZ+1 fans, Don’t know if this is true but, Media Ink hears there is a seven-figure deal on the table for the first photo of the Brangelina baby. They mention magazines like Ok!(2.5 mil.) and New York Mag. with 5 mil. Isn’t this crazy?, but if this is true, is good money for their charities.Moi jade, You are great, what are you doing working in that hospital? Journalism baby, that’s you.I’m guessing that handicapped kid wrote somthing really mean, ah? I don’t want to know what is going throuhg the brains of this kind of ppl.One thing is to dislike and post about it and another is post with hate on every word that you write. Anyway, I pray that Angelina and the baby do good at labor time, and blessing to this beautiful fam.Que Viva La BAMZ+1!
Brad & Angelina Boost Namibia TourismBrad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s current residence in Namibia is being seen as a boon to the local tourist economy – not just for what couple are spending at a luxury resort there, but for the visitors they are likely to attract to the remote African nation.As Jolie herself revealed on Thursday’s Today show, she’s not ruling out having the couple’s baby in the country. "We just don’t know where it’s going to happen or where it’s going to be," Jolie told interviewer Ann Curry, who asked if this week’s PEOPLE cover girl had a doctor nearby. "We’ve been smart about it," replied Jolie. "Things will be as they will be. I’m ready for anything."Namibian officials are viewing Jolie’s statements as really good news, reports Reuters."If Angelina Jolie gives birth in Namibia, she would have done for our tourism sector what our tourism board budget cannot do in a year," Namibian Ambassador to the United States Hopelong Iipinge said in a statement Thursday.Iipinge said that the Namibian embassy in Washington has been "inundated with calls from the media and individuals inquiring about Namibia," including requests from major media outlets for video footage of the country’s chief attractions, which include lush sand dunes."It would be an honor for Namibia to become the birthplace of the Pitts’ first biological child," Iipinge said, saying privacy was one thing the remote African country could offer the Hollywood pair."Never before have we had so much publicity. Angelina Jolie is not only a movie star, she is also the U.N. goodwill gmbassador and this is the combination which makes her the draw card," he said.http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1188556,00.html
#266 LolaHola Lola, Cómo estás? Thank you for the link, woman, you are always one step ahead.
You’re welcome Rizos.I try my best. :) Long live the Jolie-Pitts!
#264 Liz,your whole "you’re provoking people" argument is irrational at best.This thread is about Angelina,so what right do have to come here and inform us how to think?The fact that you stated that "we are pissing people into saying nasty stuff about Brangelina" shows you are as nuts as they are.If you don’t like Brangelina then don’t come here,go to a JA web site.
Lola, thanks for the info,You are always a step ahead with the legit news. You should have your own neww wire service.
angie looks so pretty she looks great angie and brad 4 ever toghther
# 253 | Liz I’m confused here….do you really think B/A’s "people" read this blog? Surely they’ve got better things to do?For the record the word "haters" is very applicable to some of their detractors. Have you read some of the things these people are saying about their children? The remarks are hateful, ergo the people who make them are "haters".
# 258 | Lola Lola, thanks for setting me straight on that. I’m an awful Brangelinaian…I don’t even know who they’re agents are! Can I still hang out here?
African Girl,I guess you rubbed Liz the wrong way.I must admit I had a good laugh when I read #263.You know who has and will never feel bad about any negative comments made about Brangelina.She tried to use the situation to her benefit in the first place.My mother sure called this one to a tee.
HEY BAMZ+1 Fans this just in:Jennifer Aniston Nightmare: Angelina Jolie, Pitt & Vaughn Together ————————————————–By Tina SimsApr 28, 2006 Jennifer Aniston may see a European nightmare as her man Vince Vaughn, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may wind up together again - this time all overseas.Mr. and Mrs. Smith Co-Stars in Europe with Jen in LA? It is being reported that Vaughn has scored a plum movie role, but it will require him to work overseas.That means worries for Jennifer Aniston as she wants her man at home.Life & Style Weekly reports the gig will mean shooting in London for three months. He’ll be away from Jen and if Jolie and Pitt head back to Europe after their reported African birth - he will be reunited with angie and Brad.That could make for an interesting dinner.***The magazine reports:The as-yet-untitled project reunites Vince with Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin and features the funnyman as the black-sheep brother of Santa Claus. Jennifer apparently wants Vaughn to pass but Vaughn will reportedly do the film.“Vince just can’t figure out why she isn’t being supportive,” says the family insider. “He told Jen that if she had to take off for months to do a faraway project that she was passionate about, he’d totally under¬stand. And they really had it out.” She fears a new film role will keep him away from home - and her - too long.***Or she could hop on a jet and join her man and her ex and his girlfriend in Europe.–Tina Sims
