Angelina Jolie on The Today Show

How much do I love Brad? I endured one hour, clicking back and forth between four entertainment shows , just to be sure I didn’t miss a two-minute preview of him in his new movie–the first time to my knowledge a PREVIEW has been advertised and anticipated for DAYS!–groaning through the preposterous coverage by these shows of Amy Fisher and Joey Bottafuco, which they had the nerve to present as "A Major T.V. Event!" (does anyone more than two hundred miles from New York have any idea who they are?) Now THAT proves I am addicted to Brad!

I donate to different charities when I can, but I don’t make the kind of money that Angelina makes-not even in the ballpark. So, my question is are there other ways of helping that involve donating time or other things besides money? I’m just asking because many people are struggling to get by themselves and may want to donate money but they don’t have it. With the One organization they are very smart in letting people know other ways to contribute and make a difference without just giving money. Writing to congresspeople, making others aware, etc. With Angelina’s charities, are other means of helping available?

I love her passion for helping others. It shows in her eyes and her demeanor. She knows when to be serious and when it’s ok to laugh and be silly. I truly admire this woman for how far she has come. Thinking back of past interviews where she’s expressed how much of a wild child and self mutilator she was. It’s amazing this is the same person. Cheers Angie! What a wonderful inspiration you are to all women of the world!

wow! two threads to read. people magazine should have put one of these pictures on the cover. no makeup, hair under a scarf, she still looks better than most of the painted dolls in hollywood.the giggling was cute, but i don’t think she liked being compared to laura bush.

144-we donate to charities.MY 2 sons volunteered at the public library tutoring for remedial classes. After college, one did 1yr. with Americorps ,the other did more than a yr. with a wildlife refuge, dealing with endangered species/animals.You see,we look at the critical issues in the world same way Aj does. MY admiration has grown for Aj/bp. Now there’s 2 of them raising awareness. They’ll make an excellent team. BAMZ have WALKED THE TALK!!!!

When it happened, The Amy/Joey mess was really big news. Partly because of her age - I can’t remember now, but I think she was just 17 if that. What really amazed me is that after all this time, and supposed surgery to rid herself of that time, Amy would go on an entertainment talk show. Am I the only one who thinks that’s nuts? I thought the whole mess was sick at the time, and to bring it up now just insane.Just yesterday, a friend of mine at another forum posted about a known child molester who tried to sign a 14 year old out of school [and she tried to get out]. they surmise she met him on My Space — a warning to moms and dads - KNOW who your kids are talking to!imho, showing Amy Fisher all grown up and married with children gives this type of girl needless encouragement.

MashaALLAH, what a smart woman.MashaALLAH.

Real tita stated So many threads to keep up with but who’s complaining, eh? After famine there was feast instead of the other way around" Thankful and appreciated fans and thousands like real tita have sent literally pounds of LUMPIA to their HERO JJ who attempted 5 tries to post the photos before he was successful. 98% of the JJ Nation state they "will definitely" go see this MOVIE. Calendars of women from every sector of life have been updated and schedules rearranged to accommodate the upcoming news of press releases and opening nights. In Global News: The Washington Post and The New York Times have confirmed international reports that followed the Today Show with Anne Curry. Angelina Jolie’ confirmed on tape for the world, that she’s NOT quite "eight months" pregnant.

Coast Guard officials, who have been holding their breathe in a level 5 Homeland Security Alert have been given the official authorized ban lift by all heads of states, presidents, prime ministers , kings & queens… making this the only time in the history of man on earth, when leaders from every country, state, continent and island, came together to agree unanimously on an issue.

JPF, as in Original not fake…was hailed by Independent Party Presidential candidate JMIH(aka JensMomIsHomeless) for her prestigious work w/ WENN and publicly documenting the information that has once and for all settled the divorce debate haunting Aniston & Jolie-Pitt fans in what has been recorded to be one of the largest ongoing celebrity wars since Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.

It was rumored the Paparazzi were hiding out along the city streets disguised as trash cans and lamp posts,hoping to get a shot of the confused actress. After news broke late last night,(thanks to ANON) Anniston was told she would not be performing her solo singing debut "We Are the World" to the expected millions come May. Anniston was seen walking down the streets of New York City with a diaper bag on her head in hopes of avoiding the paparazzi. Unfortunately for Anniston, there was no paparazzi, only a few homeless people with signs that read " Help! I need money to buy a shower gift for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt" The door man from her undisclosed hotel refused to comment. Wishing everyone a good nights rest!This is Moi Jade reporting from JJPBS in NYC.

This is a long post. Skip it if you don’t want to read my opinions on press freedom. I’ve pasted an article about AJ and BP’s bodyguards and Namibian police with accusations of inappropriate behaviour towards the journalists.I must admit that I’m concerned after reading this report as it sets an unwelcomed precedent for restricting press freedom in Namibia. The line between privacy and legitimate reporting is more grey and fuzzy then a hard black line. I think most people would agree that it is an invasion of privacy to trespass on someone’s private property to take a photo. It is also a trespass of privacy to me, if someone uses a powerful telephoto lens, standing on public grounds, to take photos someone else in private property. But having said that, if someone wanks from the balcony of his apartment for all to see with their naked eyes, then that someone has committed an act of public indecency as far as I’m concerned even if he was standing in his own home. Similarly, the local news reporter should be allowed to hang around the public street if there are no laws against it in Namibia and provided she doesnt try to use powerful photo lens or climb walls or fences to take a photo. Door to door hunting of local Namibian journalists should not be allowed. Bottom line, local Namibian journalists should get total protection afforded by their laws. Foreign paps and journalists. Well, this is a difficult one. I certainly value the brave journalists who go in disguise or undercover to places and report on abuses and occuring in countries where there is no free press at all. This is happening right here in my back yard - people reporting on Irian Jaya and for years, brave journalists slipping in to report on East Timur. It takes guts and more. Because the environment does not support a free press, the local reporters dare not write anything about these abuses for fear of drastic reprisals.Back to namibia however, foreign paps are asked to get out of the country because they do not have a legitimate work permit. My worry is that one day legitimate foreign journalists will want to report about namibia and be deported too. This is not good for press freedom in Namibia. I don’t know Brad and Angelina personally, but from all that I’ve read about them, I’m sure they do not intend to start muzzling legitimate media in Namibia - only the paps. However, if the news reported in the article below is true then I hope they address the over reaction by the security personnel soon. If they have to err, then they should err on the side of safeguarding press freedom. I fully believe its difficult for them to live with this level of public scrutiny into their personal lives for more then 16 months. Here is the article. Jolie guards criticisedThursday Apr 27 08:09 AESTA Namibian human rights group on Wednesday accused bodyguards and local police of resorting to "heavy-handed tactics" to keep the paparazzi away from movie stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.Jolie, who is eight months pregnant and is expected to give birth in Namibia, arrived with Pitt in the southern African country in early April. She has been welcomed by the government which has asked the press to respect the couple’s privacy during their stay near the west coast town of Swakopmund.But the National Society of Human Rights (NSHR) said in a statement that "both the three-member private security personnel of Jolie and Pitt and Namibia police members have conducted unwarranted door-to-door searches of the homes of local residents for paparazzi and other media workers.""We condemn the heavy-handed and brutal tactics selectively directed against local and certain foreign journalists," the NSHR said in a statement, issued in Windhoek.Local newspaper journalist Donna Collins told AFP that she saw police carry out the searches of homes late last week near the Langstrand beach resort on Namibia’s west coast where the Hollywood couple are staying.The "house-to-house searches and hunting down journalists as if they are criminals is unacceptable," Collins said.She said that she had been "chased away" by security guards and nearly had her camera ripped from her neck when she was on a nearby beach.Namibian police denied that local residents and the press had been harassed."No cameras were seized and no reporters have been brutalised," police spokesman Hieronymus Goraseb told AFP.The Namibian government Monday vowed to protect Jolie and Pitt’s privacy after the glamorous couple released a statement asking the press to leave them alone.Namibia over the weekend ordered three French paparazzi and a South African photographer to leave the country for trying to snap Jolie.A local tour operator told AFP that Jolie this week was taken to the nearby sand dunes of the Namib desert were a United Nations crew filmed a documentary on her and her work as a goodwill ambassador for the children’s organisation UNICEF.Speaking in a telephone news conference to promote the Global Campaign for Education, of which she is the honorary chair, Jolie said she preferred not to talk about her child at the moment.She spoke about travelling to various parts of the world including Namibia. "I feel very lucky to be able to come to these countries and I have learnt a lot," she said."I want my children to learn the same and to grow up in the world as it really is, not just in a small corner that does not represent the entire globe.""That’s why we travel so much," said Jolie.Jolie said she understood that she was a "public person" and did what she could to promote causes as a celebrity."I hope it never impacts in a negative way and if I thought it might, I would remove myself from that situation, because I would never want to do that," she said.
