OlderAngelina Jolie: ‘Today Show’ Interview
Angelina Jolie sits down with NBC News’ Anny Curry to discuss her new movie A Mighty Heart, having a fourth child and losing her mom, Marcheline Bertrand.
Said a tearful Jolie, “This has been a heavy year in losing my mom and having a fourth child. I’m very aware of time and of memories and of doing and enjoying life, not just doing the right thing and being a useful person, which I certainly want to be and believe I am. I want to be a great mom like my mom was. And I want to also do the things that I love. So I’m at a strange place in my life. That happens when you lose a parent, where you drop into a different kind of serious. Yet at the same time, you want to enjoy and laugh as much as possible everyday. But I’m holding onto my family really tight at this moment because of that and trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life. Dammit. You got me crying. (Curry apologizes) That’s alright. It’s part of life. … I lost my mom. It’s a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I’m happy she’s out of pain, because I love her and she’s my friend.”

What a touching and introspective interview! To say Angelina is beautiful is rather factitious… Her loveliness seems to transcend all media… Live, be and always give & share your good heart Angelina… You are the embodiment of beauty & grace… In the words of Shakespear: you’re the sonnet 18
Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day?
by William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Thank you Ann for a perspicacious interview!!! You conducted it with fairness, respect & compassion..

Yes, thank you. What’s with people dropping source-less info. I can’t stand that. At least say where it may have come from so we can decide whether or not it’s legit enough to be believed. I am VERY suspicious at people dropping sh*t here, with absolutely NO source info - and am inclined to believe they are trolls and people planting things.

Everybody has skeletons in their closet. You do too. It doesn’t matter too much how you came into the world. What matters is how you go out. Jolie is going out well.
Right…Says…
Oh my, I’m also embarrassed for you. Your teachers should be ashamed of themselves for passing you above the third grade. It is far easier to get your point across when you aren’t totally illiterate. This is probably the reason you don’t “get” AJ–you are too uneducated to understand where she is coming from. Too dense to understand people change and she has changed into a very warm, caring compassionate woman. If I were you, I’d go back to school and learn how to spell and use grammar properly!

that when she got most of her fans, not now idiot.

And I know where to find them all should I want to.
Frenchy, I do like Charlie Rose but agree with you he talks too much, but then they all do. The worst annoyance so far has been Billy Bush and the female, dark-haired co-whatever at Cannes. For some reason they thought we wanted to see footage of them instead of any relevant celebrities. Why on earth would we care about seeing them, the dress she was wearing, etc.? Waste of time!
Funny thing, #55…There is no “thing” to cover with Brad that has anything to do with cheating or drugs. If anyone is writing about such garbage they are not “covering” it, they are fabricating it…
Say what you will about people who don’t bow down to her presence. It just sounds hypocritical.
It’s not that most people dislike her that much, it’s more the way people she doesn’t know/care about and would use as a **** ticket worship her.

The Enquirer is really going after Brad now, last week was the drugs thing and now the cheating.
They’re too ball-less to even say that, they’re just saying AJ is supposedly jealous over a movie kiss he did 4 months ago. LOL!! NE (and the other rags - but NE especially) are known for putting one thing on the cover and then furiously back-tracking inside. The are not only just liars, they are lame ones.

I was looking at all the recent pictures of Brad, and damn, that man is tall! He’s towers over everybody and usually I don’t really get the impression that he’s this really large guy but he’s even taller than George Clooney. Angie did good with finding herself a man with some girth.
Heh-heh. In more ways than one, I’m sure. THUD!
that’s a first brad and angie are not on the cover of life and style. How sad they are trying to look more credible by putting tyra on the front talking about weight and body issues. US weekly have done the same thing only with janet jackson.
From Lainey
The reviews are pouring in and there seems to be consensus. It’s an important movie, she honours it, and the Oscar buzz is already beginning which means Life & Style will be calling for another wedding by next week. Snort.

lmao
Thank you Filipino fan, i’m glad that i made you laugh!!!! LOL
BRANGELINA ROCKS…LOVE THEM TO death
that date that someone mention on jjb doesn’t seem right-why would brad leave on a saturday and miss his daughter 1st birthday

Angelina did make an appearance at the bar. Serene and secured – that wicked bodyguard pacing incessantly making sure none of the super rich people were about to attack her and preventing trespassers from getting too close. Sorry to disappoint the haters but away from the cameras, I’m told she and Brad are – and I quote – “ridiculously in love”. To the point where they will find each other’s eyes in a crowded room and send over a secret smile. Trust me…I just heaved a little too.
SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
i saw excerpts of her interview on Today’s Show with Ann Curry. Angelina has become a very thoughtful, selfless, profound woman.. very intriguing and awe inspiring. and very much in love with Brad. They will most definitely grow old together. I think they will truly become one of longest relationships Hollywood has ever witness.

Not predicting, not knowing Jolie’s fate, but believing Jolie has a good heart and is a different person from years ago. She’s made obvious changes. Learn to forgive and stop harboring ill feelings toward someone you don’t know.
tondo girl,
thanks for making me laugh. i am so stressed for my final exams. coming here at jj and reading about the wonderful things about brad and angie is my way of destressing. keep on going girl.
INTERVIEW-Jolie kids keep her grounded, help with tough role

By Mike Collett-White
CANNES, France, May 23 (Reuters) - It is children that keep Angelina Jolie’s feet firmly on the ground while the paparazzi chase her every move, and motherhood helped the star prepare for her role as the pregnant wife of slain reporter Daniel Pearl.
The 31-year-old, who with her partner Brad Pitt is known in Hollywood as super-couple “Brangelina”, plays Mariane Pearl, wife of the Wall Street Journal journalist who was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic militants in Pakistan in 2002.
Mariane, who wrote a book about her experiences, was around six months pregnant at the time, and Jolie filmed “A Mighty Heart” not long after she gave birth to daughter Shiloh.
Jolie and Pitt, 43, also have three adopted children, from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam.
“My children help me keep perspective,” Jolie told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday just outside Cannes, where the movie had its world premiere.
“The world forms opinions and has a view and does tabloid things and fortunately none of that is inside my home,” she said at the exclusive Du Cap hotel. “I (am) focused on getting the kids to school, I’m focused on the balance of all the children.”
Critics have praised Jolie for her portrayal of a woman who desperately seeks her husband through phone and e-mail trails and in the teeming city of Karachi, a hotbed of militancy just after the 9/11 attacks.
MEMORIES OF NAMIBIA
Jolie was in Namibia when discussing the script with Mariane and British director Michael Winterbottom as she prepared to give birth to Shiloh.
“We were all in Namibia and I was six months pregnant, and I remember seeing Mariane and talking to her about being pregnant.
“At the same time I would go home, sit and lay next to Brad, and he would put his hand on my stomach and we would talk about the hospital and the baby and were so excited together.
“To know that’s what they took away from her at that time infuriated me, it made me so, so upset.”
She added that Mariane had no time for letting her “emotions run wild”, but added: “But thank God she was pregnant, because she has Danny in (their son) Adam … he is Adam.”
Jolie said “A Mighty Heart”, which Pitt co-produced, did not signal a shift away from comic or action roles for which she is best known, even though she won an Oscar for “Girl, Interrupted” set in a mental institution.
“I think people think that now I’m just trying to be serious and do very serious films.
“But the reality is I’m playing an assassin now in a movie and my little boys think it’s really cool and I’m going to do a cartoon next where I’m a tiger and … that’s why I get kudos in my house.”
The star of box office hits like “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, in which she played alongside Pitt, Jolie said she had been gripped by Mariane’s tragedy when it played out before the media.
The film still had relevance today, however, by preaching a message of tolerance.
“This woman, who has the greatest reason to be just blinded by hate, is speaking up very strongly and saying we have got to have a dialogue, we have got to continue to find ways to relate to each other and not just focus on differences.”
Jolie said she would continue to take time off in between filming to be with her family, and that she and Pitt took turns to act in movies. (Please visit our Cannes site, including a link to our blogs, on http://uk.reuters.com/news/globalcoverage/cannesFestival)
Beautiful:

OMG!! Have you seen the latest cover of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER????

Yes! I saw it. Just goes to show you tabloids are total trash. Man Brad Pitt watch annoys the **** out of me though. What kind of fan is that? Horrible horrible website.
++++++++++++
What’s totally retarded is that STAR had the same story 3 months ago when Brad was filming CCOBB in NO! So, once again…the NE has nothing new to report. Just recycling used sh#t from Star…again. The NE hasn’t had a B/A story in 2 weeks, so they had to come up with sumpin’!
