Angelina Jolie Does Charitable Work
There was a supposed rift between Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman after Scotland’s Daily Record quoted Kidman as saying, “It’s not like Angelina is any better than a nurse working in a hospital, but she’s getting the publicity for her contribution.”
Yesterday, The Daily Record admitted that Kidman never said those things about Angelina and apologized for “any upset caused.” Instead, Kidman’s publicist, Catherine Olim did release a statement on behalf of Nicole Kidman:
“Ms. Kidman has tremendous admiration for Angelina Jolie and her tireless, worldwide charitable work, as well as for the work of countless less well known volunteers in areas of need around the world.”
Pictures in this entry include Angelina Jolie driving around Los Angeles this past Friday, September 15. More pictures in the gallery!

#24 sara!i know what you mean darling,but you know what?even the tips of the bamzs fingers,im happy to see them…
Don’t get me wrong I think that Angelinas humanitarian work is great BUT do u guys praise people that have been doing this kind of work for ages constantly or have u just made AJ a saint ’cause she’s got the good looks..??
I think Olim’s statement on behalf of Nicole is well phrased. There are many people that do humanitarian work and receive nor recognition at all. They give of their time and work without recompense of any sort in dangerous and difficult situations. It must be remembered that Angelina gets recognition and publicity for her charitable work and this generates public goodwill which in turn generates additional revenues at the box office. There are real saints out there and despite what fans may think, Angelina is not among them.

Did you read the article. Nicole Kidman is one of the classiest folks around and I knew the minute I read the alleged comments that she either didn’t make them or they had been taken totally out of context. Now the paper says she did not make them; they made them up. Nicole and Brad are friends and have a deep admiration for each other’s acting ability. Furthermore, Nicole has said previously how much she respects Angelina (when she got her to visit Dylan, the Aussie child with cancer at the hospital). We are so quick to judge. As are the bloggers, papers and mags. These folks are under tremendous pressure with everyone watching their every mood. Maybe it is time we all cut a them a break when we see obviously misquoted, made up, ridiculous stories.

I personally have not made AJ a saint. Trying to look at things in the most sensible way. Why do singers/golfers/tennis players/movies stars make millions of dollars? Coz they are more useful to society than firefighters and nurses? Of course appearance is one of the factors that determines somebody’s influence on today’s society. Again - doesn’t change the fact that AJ gets the work done - the people who’ve benefited from her work wouldn’t care less what made her famous and enabled her to do charitable work. That’s all that matters!
Angelina looks amazingly gorgeous as usual. - on the subject of being overrated or not here are some of the things Angelina had done and show me a Hollywood figure who at the age of thirty something who has done such a notable thing in her/his life:
Angelina created a loving home to two children from the most unprivileged backgrounds;
She donates one third of her income to charity; Donated over 1 million dollars of her own money to build a children’s’ hospital in Ethiopia, She is a spokesperson for refugees around the world etc etc etc….need I say more..
BEAUTIFUL!!!…
…good am BAMZS fans,hope il find friends here.it’s my third post but i kinda sad coz you guy seems sooo close.hope il be in ur circle too.im an asian,been six months here in the US…i was visiting this thread long time ago but the comment of one of the haters last time tempt me to answer her back…remember the racist girl who said that only asians,black people,europian…etc….adored angelina?twas a most disgusting comment i ever read.

Yeah, that always works with the movie going public - become a charitable philanthropist and that assures you big box office. NOT.
You’re an idiot and you need to shut up.
No one here is saying Angelina is a ’saint,’ we recognize however she is a highly influential well-meaning good-hearted person interested in those less fortunate than herself, and she walks the walk. Nicole Kidman in her rush to clarify, and deny the lying tabloids agrees.
The post that Jared put up - was done for one reason only, it’s the latest ‘news item’ on Angelina (having to do with LIES that some rag attributed to Nicole Kidman).
Nicole has denied ever having made the remarks, and has praised Angelina and given her respect and admiration. That is the reason for the new thread.
Geez, but your comprehension skills suck. The part of the article you say Olim “phrased well,” is THE LIE that she is earnestly refuting. Wake up blockhead!
Are people getting dumber or what?!

let me explain. for the thousandth time. nobody that i know of who posts on this blog thinks angelina is a saint, and if they do, they shouldn’t. she’s a human being with faults and flaws like every homo sapien roaming the planet. nor do we think she is the wicked she-devil that she’s been labeled. she’s a good person doing good things and living a fascinating life while she’s at it. the only people who’ve labeled her a saint are the posters who come here and try to call us on “idol worship.”
the facts are simple. angelina jolie is a great humanitarian. she gives of her time, energy and money. there are pictures of her here. we look at the pictures. we post and speculate about her work, her life, her character. so if you come to a place where her pictures are up, you can expect that people are going to talk about HER. there are occasions where we mention bill gates, matt damon, bono, nicole kidman and any other celebrity that supports a worthy cause, but this ain’t their thread.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in India
By IndiaFM News Bureau,
September 19, 2006 - 05:24 IST
The film adaptation of Mariane Pearl’s A Mighty Heart, who is the wife of American Journalist Daniel Pearl, is going to be shot in India. Angelina Jolie who will be playing the role of Mariane, will be in India on October 1, along with boyfriend Brad Pitt and their three kids. The hottest Hollywood couple along with their kids will be in Pune for a month or so, for the shoot.
The film also stars Irfan Khan and Aly Khan who play important characters in the film.

So the whole brood will be in India on Oct. 1
I meant to add — I hope they are fine as fans in India can get crazy. I was at the TIFF premiere of a Bollywood film starring two of the biggest stars in India, and it was a madhouse. Though the crowd was not as huge as Brad’s — it was huge nonetheless, and they were loud and screaming and pushing….it was a bit nerve rattling. I would love to see Zahara & Angie in little saris — maybe they’ll go to a few functions eh?

Kat…welcome aboard! I think we have another lurker who lives in Dubai, but I can’t remember who it is right now. And one of our regulars - African Girl - has a cousin who lives there, too. So it looks like Dubai is representin’!

i’ve asked this question before, but i’ve never gotten an answer. i’d really like to know why, if you’re not a fan of angelina jolie, why do you bother to visit a thread with her pictures and read comments made by her fans? i don’t want to judge you. i want to understand.
any guesses about what she could possibly be thinking about while she’s stuck in traffic? i’m usually thinking “who’s the friggin’ jerk that’s holding everything up? i’ve got places to go and people to see, dammit!”

You and me, both. Everybody is my family has got a notorious lead foot. Just this morning I was driving to work and the speed limit was 50 and the jerk in front of me was doing about 40! I was like, “Get the hell off the road, moron! WTF is the matter with you! I don’t wanna go to work, but if I hafta go, I don’t want to take an effin’ hour to get there when it’s only 7 miles!”
I read an interview last year with IRL Indy race car driver Danica Patrick and the interviewer asked her if she how she drove off-track and she said, “I have road rage. EVERY. DAY.” I don’t drive fast cars for a living and I have road rage every day, too!
Jared - is that the new rule, as one thread gets opened another gets locked?
I’m unable to even reference back to the banksy photos to LOOK at them, let alone post — because when I use the search function it doesn’t pull up the ‘more banksy love’ thread at all. It’s like that entire thread - 12 pages, beautiful pics and all has just been flushed!! What gives???
This kind of sucks.
No offense on this thread - the pics of AJ in the car are nice, but so are the other 597 photos where she’s looking the exact same beautiful way driving in her car.
Just a suggestion, perhaps a new photo - a banksy shot or just something that we have not seen 1000 times would be cool to start a new thread with.
I hate to criticize, but it seems like the pics prior to banksy were more of the same - Ange out driving.
(while this board oddly enough, was on a Maniston roll…horror of horrors)
testing
…and what has happened to the ‘just commented’ column? It’s no longer there either.

what’s going on in xanadu today? i hate that i can’t play until after 5, but folks actually expect me to WORK when i’m at work.
Morning Ladies!
I saw these pictures yesterday.
So when a new Brad/Angie thread goes up? The old shuts down? Can’t view the pictures? Or Comment?
I’m so glad that this this Nicole thing, has been rectified.

Don’t get me wrong I think that Angelinas humanitarian work is great BUT do u guys praise people that have been doing this kind of work for ages constantly or have u just made AJ a saint ’cause she’s got the good looks..??

This isn’t a blog about other people! It’s a blog about Angelina Jolie. If we want to praise the efforts of others…we go to their blog threads and their websites. Do you see how that works? For instance…Nic Kidman does work with the UN, too…but if I want to talk about Nic and her work…then I go to the Nic Kidman thread. If Jared doesn’t have a thread on a particular person or top…then I go to go GOOGLE to find someone who does.
Google is a wonderful invention. If you phrase it correctly you can even find the names of websites and blogs who do nothing by ***** about and rag on Angelina Jolie. Now that you know about Google, skeedaddle your ass on over to Google.com so you can find an anti-Angie site where people with similar ****** attitudes wallow in the mire of muddy slush that is their brains.
Morning Ladies!
I’m so glad that this Nicole issue, has been recitified.
So the family is heading off to India soon? I guess O13 must be wrapping up that shoot soon, at least Brad’s role anyway.
Morning fellow BAMZS Fans, how you guys doing this morning
Brad-Angelina in India on Oct 1
Rubina A Khan
[ 19 Sep, 2006 1954hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]
Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and boyfriend Brad Pitt along with their three kids Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh-Nouvel are slated to arrive in India on October 1.
The two are coming down for the shoot of the film adaptation of Mariane Pearl’s published memoirs A Mighty Heart on her slain husband, American journalist Daniel Pearl.
He was killed by Pakistani militants in 2002. Angelina is playing Mariane in the film. Brad and Angelina will apparently be staying in Pune for a month or so for the duration of the shoot.
Is Pune going to be the new Namibia in the celebrated couple’s life? When DT contacted Arti Surendranath, who’s the line producer of the project, she said, “No comments.”
Angelina is a joke. Whatever “charitable work” she did was to save her weird ass.

oh, i’m worse. i speed. really speed. and i swear, if my mother were in my way, i’d run her down and flip her off. there’s just something about being behind that wheel…

i think jared’s still making adjustments. sometimes a preview box will pop up when you’re typing a comment and other times it won’t. hopefully he’ll be able to get all the bugs to work out and have the site function the way he’d like it.
in the meantime if you’re trying to get to the banksy pics, go to the main page down the bottom and click on #2, the blog entry for banksy is still there. when all else fails, click the archives link at the top of the page and click on angelina or brad. and don’t neglect your history panel. it’ll pull up all the sites you’ve visited in the last month including old jared threads.
I’m so glad that this this Nicole thing, has been rectified.
