OlderAngelina 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.”

In answer to yeahright, Angelina does pay for her own expenses including flight, hotel, security etc. when she goes to these countries. I remembered reading somewhere that a rep for UN said that they didn’t have to pay anything for her. She pays for herself and then make a donation too. I would consider that a charity donation too. As well, her time and energy. X would just sit around or go to Cox’s house and do the same. X never did anything good for anyone except herself.
about Jolie’s 1/3 contribution.
If this is what she said, then you should believe her. I remember watching a National Geog interview. The interviewer (er) also mentioned that this is true.
You may think she made a lot of money. But think, there is always taxes, expenses. Most of the time, we hear about the amount is the gross. But she did make more money than Jennifer Aniston.
She filed her tax return. There is also this confidentiality. So for anyone who doubts her, go away. Bring some concrete evidence.
10 | CLINIQUA - I agree.
94 | yeahright …oh wow….angie is so famous that she was part of your curriculum discussion on taxation…
idiot….
99 | hummm ….
you’re such an idiot

If you can read, why don’t you get Angelina’s book out from the library (since I figure you are too cheap to buy it even tho all the proceeds go to the UNCHR). She talks about living in the same quarters that the other volunteers live in. Steaming hot countries, no A/C, community bathrooms etc. I believe she even did some tent living in some of the countries she visited. She did this without an entourage, without fanfare and because of a commitment she has made. If you look at the other UNHCR ambassadors thru the ages, very few of them have done much at all with their roles except to be figureheads who fund raise. Past UNHCR ambassadors have been Richard Burton, Sophia Loren and Princess Marthe Louise of Norway among others. Do you think they went out in the field and lived in tents and shacks? I don’t think so. Angelina has taken on this commitment and she is serving with a passion most of the other ambassadors did not bring to the job. I’m not saying the others didn’t do anything, I’m saying they lacked AJ’s fervor.
Brad and Angelina have learned their lesson from their past relationships and have chosen to stay private…like Jennifer Aniston, who actually said, “I’ve learned my lesson” when a journalist asked her about her love life.
Let’s look back at public couples who said glowing words about one another…
Nick and Jessica: Divorced
Bobby and Whitney:Separated soon to be divorced.
Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler: Like Bobby and Whitney.
Cameron Diaz while with Matt Dillon said that they would last forever and that he was very down to Earth. Yeah, we all saw how well that worked out.
And the list goes on….
77 | CLINIQUA |
yes,about that 1/3 “donation” was made long ago, she should cough up the specifics to be credible…(continues on w/ her babblinga nd making no sense)
90 | yeahright
——————–
You ARE kidding right?? No. Seriously. You have to be. Are you seriously ticking off the enumerable contributions of one young woman, her six years of philanthropic endeavors, and her 1/3rd donations…as if she doesn’t do ENUF??? You evil mofo ugly embitttered stupid jealous *****….hahahahahaha. That’s like if Jennifer ‘Charity is not my thing’ Aniston criticizing Dr. Jeffrey Sachs while getting a mani-pedi, and wondering why he couldn’t do MORE than what he does. LOLOL Shaddup you worthless piece of dung.
1/3rd to charity.
So what if she saves on taxes by donating this amount to charity, by doing good with it. Do you think Paris Hilton does this? Lindsay Lohan? Jessica Simpson? No they jump on the charitable bandwagon and then get off when they don’t get the publicity they crave. If every pseudo star, wanna be star and star not to mention actor/actress donated a third of their income–wow, think of the good that would do. But alas, that might mean for many of them that they couldn’t buy that new ferrari, Manolo Blahnik shoe or their posh home in the Hamptons.
If Angie wants to donate her money to charity that is her business…both literally and figuratively.
to # 90 yeahright
any UN trip is not paid by the organization. that i know. she paid for all expenses herself.
she did not make 16 million per movie. in her line of work, there is much much expenses. just use common sense. think about it, NONE of the magazine (include tabloid), including some who wrote against her NEVER use this 1/3 contribution as an angle to attack her. please stop this naive idea.
hey guys….stop explainin stuff to these dumbheads….they are dummier than parasite hilton….can’t comprehend with their pea brain and they only read us, in touch, star, national alleger and post lies….
Don’t listen to Ted C. He is thisclose to being out of a job. He used to have a regular segment on E!News but surprise surprise, his spot has been dropped. Even he acknowledged that something is up and he may soon be out of a job. I’m paraphrasing but he said he was starting to feel like Star Jones and how she was treated on the View. The man is desperate and has not broken any new gossip in forever but is always quick to take credit for other bloggers scoops. I don’t take anything, positive or negative that man says at face value. He is an aging dinosaur and is becoming obsolete.
Good afternoon everyone!I am so sorry to hear what happen to Elena.My condolences to Elena and her daughter.Why are certain people STILL indulging the haters?Ignore them please.
Nicole asked Angie to visit that cancer patient so I’m sure Nicole is innocent.
105 | julie | Bill O’Riley also didn’t believe her and he checked out her contributions and agreed that she does give 1/3rd of her income.
Gitane and Cliniqua - Hey Gitane and Cliniqua, very, very good posts. I have just logged on and I can see the trolls are out but you guys are doing a great job. I am not sure how many times one has to set the record straight… seems like it happens every time a new thread begins. I shall continue to read on.

I agree. What’s the use of arguing with these asshats. Idiots are idiots. Nuff said. I’d rather spend my time talking about how in love Brad and Angie are. It has a dual purpose. 1. Its fun 2. It pisses the haters off.
she is just another woman…i don’t see the big deal
Please keep Elena in your hearts and minds…prayers are needed.
94 | yeahright |
I don’t understand your tax lesson, but don’t even want to. The end result is that she gives a lot of money to charities and causes. No matter how you want to paint her humanitarian work, she does good and real work for a long time and this the only thing that counts.
Please save yourself the trouble trying to explain that everything Angie does is suspicious. Thanks.
#117 QQQQ,You know IF Angelina’s contributions were a scam Bill O’ Riley would have been to happy to enlighten everyone to that fact.
jjoy - ang puso mo ingatan…hehehe…don’t even bother with these dummies people…i bet they wish Angie would give them 1/3 of her income instead
123 | The real lou | exactly, because he doesn’t like her or Brad. If her contributions weren’t as stated he would have ‘outed’ her already
75 | hummm - He was acting… remember, he is an actor.

Special dedication to you my friend.
Brad’s quotes about his only love Angelina
(read and weep!)
“I have great respect for her and she’s a good egg and a great actress, and I admire what she’s doing with her U.N. work.” - Brad Pitt
Angelina is one of the most misunderstood people in the business and I have to confess I had my own misconceptions about what she would be like.
She is one of the most level-headed, bright, decent people I’ve ever met and she is entirely devoted to her son Maddox.” - Brad Pitt
“She’s dear to my heart.” - Brad Pitt
“She’s a firecracker.” - Brad Pitt
Much more meaningful and truthful!
And don’t forget that you beloved Jen said that Brad “is not the love of her life”
after all those good things he said about her. So that proves one more time what a ***** she is! Angelina always spoke wonderfully about him!
And that’s only some of them! Whenever he talks in interviews about his family it’s always “we” “ours”… Brad and Angie are together now! Deal with it!
125 | ???
Where is the proof that she didn’t?
This is would be very funny if it wasn’t really idiotic—People complaining that AJ is not doing enough charity compared to what she makes…..what about the people who do NOTHING AT ALL! This is really stupid….why not go harras those people? Then they say she is doing it only to clean up her image….well, I wish more people would follow her lead…..be as dedicated and giving as she is just to clean up their image.
Afternoon All.
Angelina and Brad will always be recognized as GREAT HUMANITARIANS, no matter what you haters believe. You haters are so envious because your idol the X only got a Best Dressed Award from a magazine poll whereas Angelina Jolie has accepted an award for her humanitarian work as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency.
114 | Maniston | - Hi Maniston, well said, and I remembered him saying the same thing that he probably will be out of a job on E! soon, they should just dump his ass already. I am LMAO at the aging dinosaur part, so freaking true
#75mmmm……..yeah ur right there….but brad will plant all his seeds to jolie!so angie doesn’t need those lyrics.

How are you doing? It’s been a while, I saw your message to Elena and I almost cried. Please remain strong and keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks for the remind, Elena is indeed in our prayers.
