Jolie Joins Council on Foreign Relations

UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has joined forces with foreign policy organization Council on Foreign Relations, reports People.

Other members include: presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, ABC’s Diane Sawyer, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and journalist Tom Brokaw.

Vice president of communications at CFR Lisa Shields said, “Angelina Jolie is accomplished in her field and has demonstrated serious interest in issues such as Darfur, international education and refugees. As such, her profile fits very well with other young professionals we’ve selected as the next generation of foreign policy leaders.”

Jolie recently told Esquire in their June issue: “When I die, do I want to be remembered as an actress? No. I recently had a column published in a newspaper and at the end it didn’t say I was an actress. It said that I was a UN Goodwill Ambassador – that’s all. And I was really proud.”

Congrats Angie. You deserve it. You’ll do more than most of the people on it will ever dream of…

I just checked the late night tv page and it says Angie will be on TDS on Thursday :) And it looks like TDS is the only major show she’s appearing on next week.

Congrats, Angie. You deserve it!

Haters can stew in it!

guys,

here’s my O13 L.A. PREMIERE [only Brad and Angie] footage (you might wanna turn down the volume] =S
______________________________
Thanks for sharing :D

Next week will have angie on Larry King and The Daily Show :D :D

Lyn, did you hear me laughing at their hand gestures, that so cracked me up!

Thanks Amaya for the info but can you please repeat that next week coz I’m not on top of things nowadays. Thnaks

So the reason Peacreast wasn’t at the rc is because Brad had him banned? But tonight E showed their delayed rc show with Sal and Guilani D. as hosts. Brad did a brief interview with her, and Angie smiled and said little. If there was a ban how come these two?

I am so happy for Angie. Congratulations Angie. Big ups to you AJ.

Does anyone know if there is a induction ceremony? If so I wonder if Brad and family will go? She is too much, in a nice and beautiful way.

Clinique, I don’t know if you saw my response to you about three or four post back. Thanks about Brad saying he was smooth. Someone posted the Extra video and I was able to see it. Thanks. Peace.

Estelle- thanks for the mag info (on the other thread)!!

Angelina is truly an inspirational woman who is blessed…as she keeps giving she continues to receive the blessings life has to offer. She truly understands the concept of citizenship—”love thy neighbor.” (It means to care for– serve –your neighbor, someone not related to you or someone from which you cannot benefit.)

How many of us can give the same love and attention to another that is not our lover, child, spouse, relative or friend? How many of us can witness human suffrage and commit themselves to action that yields a tangible result? So few of us really understand what that really means or understand the level of responsiblity behind it. Angelina has this immense capacity to love others and give so much of herself. She is eager to learn and understand cultures that are not her own. Because of her countless experiences acclimating herself to diverse cultures, Angelina’s natural concern for refugees (and refugee children) has rapidly grown and legitimized her voice to speak on human suffrage in a way that catches our attention.

She is truly a captivating woman. She has a hold on those who love her as well as those who hate her. For those of you that say she is a fake, you cannot fake passion. That is she what has. Her work as an actress, a mother and as a humanitarian demonstrates that she gives her very best effort. And you wonder why Brad fell for her. This is the reason why so many of us have fallen for her.

When you are glowing from the inside, it makes your outside that more intoxicating as well as appealing. Angelina is a beautiful woman, and Brad is forunate to have this love to share with her.

Angelah, will do hun! Believe me, I will repeat it. I sent you a PM on youtube.

Thanks for your lovely post, I enjoyed reading it and agree with you totally.

And thanks to all who gave a heads up on Angelina’s appearance on Jon Stewart’s show. I will be looking forward to that as well as her Larry King interview.

LOL, banned Ted C and E did Brad??

Good for Brad if he did so. But Ted C should note that even if Brad were the one to ask for Tec C and E to be banned, the others have to agree - including Jerry Weintraub and George Clooney who have a lot of money riding on the success of the movie. It says a lot about the relationship between male friends that they agreed to Brad’s request, should Brad have made that request.

Personally, I think if Brad did ask for Ted C and E to be banned, he did the right thing. But I believe that the one thing TED C got wrong was that Brad banned the tabs because Brad cares about what they say about him. I think Brad ask for a ban on the tabs and Peecrust because Brad cares about what they have said about Angelina. People have noted that Peecrust was not on the O13 LA premier even when E was on the RC. You don’t have to ban the whole show, just the presenter you don’t want to talk to. Why would Brad want to talk to Peecrust after his nastiness towards Angelina?

There are those who believe that Brad should stand up and make statements about his love for Angelina etc. Looks like Brad is more an action type of guy and has chosen to show exactly where he stands and not just talk about it.

If it is Brad’s strategy to exclude certain tablies and interviewers which are truly obnoxious to him and his family, then the strategy DOES CARRY some risks. E and others are MAJOR entertainment shows. They review films. He has films coming out including Jesse James which at this stage is touch and go. Of course, unlike the days before the internet and other media sources, the power of each individual show or tablie is much less than it used to be. We can all choose to get our news from a huge variety of channels.

Someone wrote that Brad has excluded certain people or shows before. Would that be before Angelina and he became a couple? (I don’t know coz I’ve never followed Brad”). The first I’ve heard of banning was when Brad excluded A*S weakly from the Global Green press conference. It does seem Brad has upped the stakes in the media game, in his own inimitable sytle - quietly. Now we will see about the seamlessly. I’m rooting for Brad to succeed. Hopefully, we will see the news channels which actually do the homework and respect their READERS AND VIEWERS by not making up lies and spreading rumours, gain market share and credibility.

Ciao,I dont mean to sound stupid but could someone post what show is’TDS’and the time Angelina will be on(prego).Thankyou.

You’re welcome, TY. Larry King isn’t included on Late TV’s page so I didn’t know about it, my bad lol

I cannot wait, I’ve hoping that she would make her third appearance on the show again. She hasn’t been on there since 2003.

For those who don’t know about Jon’s and Stephen’s love for Angie and Brad. I have a few clips (mostly of Stephen) of them talking about our favorite couple.

Hmmm…I think I’m getting another idea for a fic…But first I have finish Mean Boys 2.

Jared, I hope you can post the TDS interview :) Youtube and viacom are still not playing nice.

Hiya Estelle, I haven’t read the interview in Marie Claire yet, going to soon though :)

Thank you. You spoke for me. Exactly what I think. This is one of reasons I respect her and want to support her.

CONGRATULATIONS ANGIE!!! I know you can contribute a lot for this organization, to improve relations among nations and improve the plight of the people from poor countries.

Mr and Mrs Smith @ 06/08/2007 at 12:37 am

I am still on a high with the O13 LA premieres and now this for Angie. I can’t stop smiling. :)

dina#1, may be it wasn’t E that was banned by just Peecrust. And why not, if you think about it. Why exclude the entire show, just ban the one guy whom you really don’t want to talk to. Brad and the O13 gang gets the publicity. Only Peecrust is the loser.

I read an article about how none of these guys, Brad, George Matt etc got to where they are today just by luck. There are plenty of good looking people out there. Consider for example, this Paul guy whom Jennifer is sort of not dating. Many people in the Jen and Paul thread think he is better looking than Brad. I have no problems with that opinion, after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. After all, I think, Ben Affleck is better looking than Matt Damon and David Beckham, is as good looking at Brad. But, so what? Looks on their own, does open the door, but after that??? It doesn’t get you very far.

To use Bill Clinton’s phrase: “its the WHOLE PACKAGE, STUPID”. And Brad, I think is a very clued up smart guy.

if Brad did indeed instigate the bans on various people, he is changing the tenor of the media game. Others may have done so before, I don’t know. But Brad is so big that what ever he does is public. So if he bans someone, it makes the news. It could turn some people off (sort of like people thinking he’s getting to big for his britches). So, what Brad might be in banning certain shows or certain people, does carry risk for him personally. But, I’m confident that Brad can pull it off. He probably has his Plan B (and C and D) in place for if things go wrong to plan A.

No. 12 said:

“Thanks jared for the news. I’m delighted for Angelina. Good for her.

When I saw some of the others in the Council, people whose names I recognised (I believe some the captains of industry are in the council and I don’t think they are particularly into foreign policy except insofar as it will help support the business interests of their company) I knew that she would get in. ”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Can’t you just be delighted for her? Why then belittle her accomplishment. You are like the cow who gave a jar of milk and then turned around and kicked it over.
