Moviegoers Avoid Angelina Jolie?

Moviegoers Avoid Angelina Jolie?

Not likely but The Gallup Organization, a supposedly widely recognized barometer of American opinion (I’ve never heard of it), recently conducted a survey asking Americans “whether or not they make a special effort to see movies starring 13 different Hollywood A-listers.”

Americans gave Tom Cruise a giant “thumbs down” clocking in at 34 percent. Angelina Jolie came in at a distant second, with 18 percent of Americans saying they avoid seeing her movies. That’s 180 out of 1003 votes.

Who received the most positive reaction of any of the stars in the poll? Tom Hanks! Two of his most recent films include The Da Vinci Code and The Terminal.

Pictures include Angelina Jolie recently leaving her NYC midtown hotel (supposedly The Regency Hotel at Park and 61st).

she is not a good actress and she will never be:
Oscar and golden gloves awards

She is just famous because she is with brad Pitt:
She’s been with UNHCR for over five year and traveled a lot thus,
she is known all over the world. She has numerous movies before
meeting Brad.

she is an uggly (ugly) woman:
She is going to be cover of Vogue for January 2007.

I do,n’t really think that she is a nice person.
What do you mean you really don’t think she is a nice person? Are you a
newbie here? Don’t you know if you are not sure you better not post as
this site deals with facts.
Angie is second to Johnny Depp to be the most approachable actor/actress in
their business.

And don’t forget that she is a……..
She is a what? I won’t even touch that. The only thing I could say with that
comment is: It take one to know one.. right?

Now .. go find your brain. and think!

“”He’s not cute, he’s hot! I was so p**sed at People for not having him as one of the sexiest men of the year. I look at him and I’m like, ‘You are hotter than BRAD PITT!’ And I’m not just because I’m in love with him. He’s so gorgeous I can’t stand it!”

A Beautiful Cause for Angelina Jolie
By Roxanne Roberts
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, March 10, 2005; Page C01

In a perfect world, a gorgeous Hollywood actress donates time and money for her humanitarian work, is honored for said work and uses her celebrity to raise consciousness and hope. This being an imperfect world, the presence of Angelina Jolie at any event turns collected sophisticates (especially men) into lovesick adolescents.

Such is the life of a benevolent sex goddess.

Jolie, along with former secretary of state Colin Powell, was honored last night at the Kuwait Embassy for her work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The black-tie dinner, hosted by Ambassador Salem Sabah and his wife, Rima, raised more than $1 million to help Iraqi women and children return to their country. The 100 guests, including White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy, Joint Chiefs Chairman Richard Myers, Mayor Tony Williams and emcee Paula Zahn, nibbled on lobster, listened to Marvin Hamlisch and sneaked furtive glances at Jolie.

“She’ll do in a pinch,” teased Ken Duberstein.

The face that launched a thousand fantasies was demure, hair pulled back, with Jolie in a conservative black jacket, shell and fishtail shirt. She was gracious, self-effacing and knowledgeable. And beautiful, in that extravagant way that eclipses everything else.

“I feel like a little kid,” she said before accepting her award. “I’m just in awe how everyone’s speaking from the heart and how everyone really cares.”

The 29-year-old actress was in Washington this week as goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR on a two-day trip that included an appearance at the National Press Club, a lobbying trip to the Hill, the launch of a legal center for refugee children, an interview on “Nightline” and last night’s dinner. Her every move was shadowed by reporters and photographers.

“She is serious about what she does,” Powell said. “They couldn’t have a better goodwill ambassador.”

Or a hotter one, celebrity-wise. (Okay, she was just voted “Sexiest Woman in Hollywood,” if you keep track of that sort of thing. Anyway, she’s hot.) During the hour that Jolie spoke at the press club, camera shutters constantly clicked while she answered questions about international affairs and refugee policies.

“I’m always so nervous answering these questions because I feel I come from a place from my heart and my gut,” she told the audience. In the hands of someone pompous, the whole “star reaching out” persona is off-putting. But Jolie is careful not to speak beyond her experience, or preach and deflects the spotlight to the reason she is there.

“She really cares about the plight of refugees,” said Rima Sabah, who chaired the benefit. “She really wants to help. Every word comes from the heart.”

So in terms of drawing attention to the cause, the good news is Jolie gathers headlines wherever she goes. The bad news is Jolie gathers headlines wherever she goes. The Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 24 for “Girl, Interrupted.” The “Tomb Raider” movies. The marriage to Billy Bob Thornton. The rift with father Jon Voight. The lips. The tattoos. The “did she or didn’t she?” rumors about Brad Pitt.

Her expressed interest in refugees initially was greeted with raised eyebrows. Her first exposure to the subject came in 2001 while filming in Cambodia (she adopted her 3-year-old son, Maddox, from there).

“It was very clear to me there was a lot about this world that I didn’t know,” she said. “I felt really ashamed and ignorant. . . . It just changed my life.”

She contacted the United Nations and spent almost a year traveling to refugee camps around the world before becoming a goodwill ambassador. She wrote a book about her travels, produced a documentary and recently donated $500,000 to establish the National Center for Refugee and Immigrant Children, which is designed to provide pro bono legal representation for refugees in immigration court. There are plenty of experts on refugee issues but not many who get an invitation from Davos to speak in front of the world’s economic power brokers. The net effect is probably positive, both for the refugees and for Jolie.

“Celebrity is . . . a weird thing,” she told”Nightline,” “and it can feel very empty at the end of the night to think . . . why is anybody giving any attention to — because I made a film? Because I wore a dress to some — it’s silly, and it feels very shallow because you’re aware of how empty it can be. So, when you’re doing something good, and you can bring attention to that or discuss that, then it feels like you have some sense in your life.”

Last night’s dinner was originally planned, sans Jolie, as a benefit by the Kuwait-America Foundation for the 400,000 Iraqi refugees (mostly women and children) registered with UNHCR in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other countries. Many of their husbands and fathers have returned to Iraq, but their families are waiting until they can rebuild their homes. The UNHCR provides them with cash grants, basic household supplies and transportation back to Iraq.

The force behind the night, noted a number of speakers, was Rima Sabah. “She’s driven us all crazy,” teased Powell. “I can only handle Rima once a year.”

Sabah assembled an impressive guest list — White House social secretary Lea Berman, Esther Coopersmith, Reps. John Dingell and Ed Markey, Joint Chiefs Vice Chairman Peter Pace and Molly Raiser, head of the United States Association for UNHCR, rounded out the crowd — and raised $1 million from underwriters ChevronTexaco and Dow Chemical, and sponsors including Boeing, ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum, ConocoPhillips, General Motors, Kuwait Petroleum and the Kuwait Embassy.

“Kuwaitis, like Iraqis, have experienced firsthand the brutality of Saddam’s regime, and victims help each other,” said Rima Sabah. “By helping Iraqi refugees return to their homeland, we are contributing to a more promising future for Iraq.”

The embassy was filled with roses and candles, some of which floated in the fountain inside. The menu included lobster, risotto with white truffles, leg of lamb and baked Alaska. Hamlisch performed with the Master Chorale of Washington and the Children’s Chorus of Washington.

Everyone went home feeling charitable and noble and warm — “I am leaving here with my heart really full,” Zahn said. And they knew the first question they’d hear today is, “What did Jolie looklike?”

She looked like every sex goddess goodwill ambassador should.

Lovely to see this lot as always. Hope God gives them plenty of blessings.
For some unfortunate reason I thought I’d check out the Perez Hilton blog in regards to these pics - have to say that I felt sick at having read some of the posts on there regarding this family. Seems like some people need to get with it! I hate the fact that people will say they hate this family yet make the effort to leave a post. Quite pathetic. Seems there are many metally depraved people out there putting their hateful energy towards fellow human beings. Get a life you hating freaks!

Jared, love your site! Thanks for these pics!
Lovin’ the BAMZS!

Hero to the homeless - Angelina Jolie - actor uses celebrity status to better the rights of refugees

For some stars, when the music stops or the curtain goes down, important issues take center stage. Kids are P. Diddy’s cause, illiteracy makes Faith Hill “cry,” and domestic violence hits home with Missy Elliott. U2’s Bono takes on the problems of Africa, and Angelina Jolie is the star of the United Nations refugee agency. Read on to see how these big names use their celebrity to help solve big problems.

When Angelina Jolie isn’t battling bad guys as Lara Croft, she’s helping the world’s 35 million refugees as a United Nations goodwill ambassador. (A refugee is a person who flees to another country or region to escape danger.)

Jolie first became interested in the plight of refugees in 1998 while reading the script for the recently released movie Beyond Borders, a film about a woman who helps refugees. Jolie said she was so moved by the script that she wanted to travel to Africa’s war-torn Sierra Leone to witness firsthand the refugee crisis there. She called the United Nations and arranged a trip. “I wanted to learn more. I … felt I should be more responsible about what I was doing with my life,” said Jolie.

Jolie said her trip to Africa changed her life. “You see death. You see kids with arms cut off just because they were born in the wrong place,” she recalled. “I decided I’d never feel sorry for myself again.”

Jolie began her work for the United Nations in 2001. “I wanted to get more people interested. I get really angry at the lack of certain things being done,” she said. “You could die tomorrow and you’ve done a few movies, won some awards–that doesn’t mean anything,” Jolie said. “But if you’ve built schools … or done something to make things better for other people, then … life is better.”

Since then, Jolie has spent two months between each of her films visiting refugee camps around the world. In addition to Sierra Leone, the actress has traveled to Tanzania, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cambodia, Pakistan, Kosovo, Chechnya, and Ecuador.

The United Nations recently named Jolie its first-ever U.N. Citizen of the World. According to Ruud Lubbers, the United Nations high commissioner for refugees, Angelina’s work is stellar. “She has helped put the spotlight on a disenfranchised group–refugees–and … gives a voice to millions of uprooted people across the globe.”
