Angelina Jolie: Pimp My Picture, Not My Life!

2nd :)

Can’t wait to see the movie. Tonight we’ll see her on The Daily Show and Larry King.

That’s right, Angie. The press needs to get their priority straight, especially on a serious movie like this. She has done enough personal interviews on MC and Esquire, they should give her movie attention too.

Who does she think she is?

Oh pls like you don’t know. Shes ANGELINA JOLIE, better step in line b!tch.

We’ll see what she says about this on Larry King…bad form…

I’ll say if she wants us to focus on her movie, let’s focus on her movie.

One reporter from a major outlet said, “I wouldn’t sign it. Who does she think she is?”

lmao. Well obviously theres the point. The media realy does only gives a **** about her private life. She was there to promote the fu*&^%* movie, not her children and what she will be doing on her vacation. *rolls*

Just seems to me that she talks about getting naked in the bath and that Shiloh is a blob and blah blah blah, why the sudden change of heart? Freedom of the press, my ****!!!

Eff those idiots at Faux..eh I mean Fox. Those b*stards just want to pry in she and Brad’s personal life.

Angie did the right thing, she wants the focus to me on the movie.

Finally .. Brad told her to put a sock in it. That is what happens when you share your life with the world and then expect them not to want to know your personal life. Hopefully she has learned her lesson.

WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

hahahaha….way to go angie!
the media outlets thay backed out only shows they are interesred on angie’s personal life not the quailty movies she starred.

i mean …that backed out…lol

*******

there’s a time and place for her personal tidbits but this event (AMH premiere) should just be more about the movie.

She is so full of herself!

When she said she was going on vacation, there was someone who thought that was being promoted over her movie, so now she’s saying let’s focus on the movie. I don’t see the big deal.

16 kb | 06/14/2007 at 11:56 am
She is acting like the queen of America. It’s going to backfire. Wait and see the backlash in media.

******
Wait…what…are you saying she’s not? Oh my Goodness! imagine that… I thought, with craziness over this, she was indeed the queen of America or even the world for that matter.

BACKLASH????

she is under the worst kind of backlash for two years… so let me ask, what’s new here??

good for you angie.

AJ did the right thing! I think this move was just a minor up yours, I cant wait for the ultimatum from them though..heheh.

The U.S. media clearly dont kow when theyre askign things out of bounds. The focus should be about the movie and nothing about silly queries just to be twisted by them i.e. that brief piece about Hilton from Showbiz tonight- they freakin implemented Jolie’s Esquire quote to PH and other hw wanna be stars. You see, and that is why a lot of individuals believe what they read from th rag mags or hear from these’poor news shows’ since they clearly dont have ne ideas how these crappy reporters/writers fabricate accounts and decontextualize the real deals(quotes).

The Jolie-Pitt duo should do this more often and hopefully more A-list stars will follow their method so these media can start going back to the drawing board, ask theirselves of what things are essential when interviewing/writing a report.

WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

___________________

Angelina Jolie. Who the heck do the press think they are? they are there to ask intellecutal quetions about this film. How dare the press want to ask personal questions on an important film like this? It’s about a fellow slain journalists. A real journalists like so many who put their lives on the line.

Watch AJ Tonight:

9pm EST- Larry King Live (CNN)

11pm EST- The Daily Show (Comedy Central)

Let’s hear Angie’s side of the story b/f we rush to judgment. BAMPZS Foreva Haters!

Angelina put the hammer down before Fox could get their cobble on!

Oh, BTW… did these outlets opt to talk to Dan Futterman, the actor who played Daniel? How about Mariane, the widow and the author of the work that was adapted?

Yeah, Fox… your game was peeped!

Yes, I’m looking forward to her interviews tonight.

When Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was murdered in Karachi, Pakistan in February 2002, his wife Marianne was pregnant with their son.

Grief stricken, she says she knew at the time that she would soon have her son to live for. She also says she had to live to tell Danny’s story.

Her book is called “A Mighty Heart.” It is a heart-stopping thriller and a heartbreaking love story of two journalists, Marianne, the French Buddhist, Danny, the American Jew, who traveled the world for four years with his barcalounger and mandolin in tow.

Last night, Host Robin Young spoke with Marianne Pearl before an audience at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. She and Danny had moved to Karachi from Bombay in the wake of 9/11.

He scheduled one last interview on the night they were to leave. Danny was following a tip about Richard Reid, the so-called shoe bomber. He was to meet Reid’s elusive spiritual leader. Everyone had told him it would be safe, because it was in a public restaurant.

Marianne didn’t attend, because of her pregnancy.

After Danny went missing, Marianne and a friend turned their apartment into central command. Aided by a loyal Pakistani policeman, a CIA operative, and some of Danny’s colleagues from the Wall Street Journal, they began a frantic race against time to find him. They ultimately learned how tangled a web of Al Qaeda Danny was caught in.

Then the photographs of Danny in captivity began coming in.

Danny Pearl’s killers were caught and tried. But there are frustrations. Pakistani journalists accused Danny of being a spy for Israel. The Wall Street Journal may have endangered his life by turning over an Al Qaeda computer to the CIA, fueling rumors that Danny was an agent for the U.S.

Marianne says she feels abandoned by the Journal in a disagreement over the legal fees in the Pakistani trial of Danny’s killers.

MMMM….by the way you spend sooooo much time on Brad and Angie threads, it has me thinking….Damn, she is a closeted Brangelina fan!! HAHA…Come out come out…

Or better yet..go off and jump off a cliff somewhere and let the world be rid of one unworthy soul on this earth!

She did the right thing, and anybody who doesnt like it, can go and F’ck themselves!

Mariane Pearl was five months pregnant when her husband, the American journalist Daniel Pearl, was brutally murdered by a militant Islamic fundamentalist group in February 2002. Determined not to be broken, she has written a book called A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of my Husband Daniel Pearl. She lives in New York with her 18-month-old son, Adam.

When I heard that Omar Sheikh had been found guilty of Danny’s murder, I wrote to President Musharraf of Pakistan to ask for the death penalty. The death penalty is not a solution, and asking for it isn’t about revenge, but I believe that in this particular case the death penalty is justice; it is society punishing someone for murder. For Pakistan it is also a strong political statement against terrorism. However, Omar Sheikh won’t pay for Danny’s life with his life, and the death penalty doesn’t make me feel any better.

I have no reason to forgive Omar Sheikh. I was told he wanted to apologise to me, but I refused to meet him. The man is a psychopath and I don’t believe his apology would be genuine. Maybe he felt a flicker of remorse because he too has a wife and a little boy, but there would be no value in our meeting.

Personally I could easily kill Omar Sheikh, but I prefer to leave it up to Pakistan’s justice system. There is a huge difference between taking revenge into your own hands and leaving it up to the law. I was totally against the Iraq war. People think they’ll feel better if a bit more of the enemy is destroyed. But in fact, so often it is only innocent people who die, and eventually you forget why you started fighting in the first place. Revenge is a basic human instinct, the animal part of man, and it gets us nowhere. Not to retaliate doesn’t mean you’re weak. In fact, being able to rise above your instincts is a sign of strength – far more heroic than bombing another country or planning a suicide mission. Dialogue is the ultimate act of courage, far more courageous than killing someone.

But forgiveness is too lame as an answer to extreme situations. It’s not a value strong enough to stand on. You have to win some sort of victory over the people who have hurt you, and you can only do that by denying the terrorists their goal. They try to kill everything in you – initiative, hope, confidence, dialogue. The only way to oppose them is by demonstrating the strength they think they have taken from you. That strength is to keep on living, to keep on valuing life. So now it’s up to me to create something of my life. Danny’s parents have started a Foundation in his name, and I’m making small gains step by step. First by giving birth to Adam, then by writing my book.

Angelina has her own freedom to express herself as Fox news has its freedom of press. Unfortunately, Fox lost track of the purpose why Angie/or her lawyer wanted to focus on the movie, A Mighty Heart. Fox reacted consistently and that is why I never watch anything Fox news which equates to TV journalism at its worst.

Angie congratulations!!!! We love you.

Only those reporters, journalists and media people with bad intentions left. If I were Brad and Angie, I would make sure to remember the honest ones that stayed.

A word of advice to Journalists

Due to the nature of this movie and the seriousness of it as to the danger of journalism, it is in your best interest to fcus on the movie. So many journalists have died in the course of duty since Daniel Pearl and I think that should be the focus. Shame on any journalist that choose to be petty.

There is a time & place for personal questions. Last night’s premiere for A Mighty Heart was just that, a USpremiere for the film.

Leave the personal stuff for the women’s magazines. There are so many of us who are actual film lovers and are tired of reading about actors and their private lives. We are film fans. We want to hear about the films and their creators. I chalk this one for film fans around the world who could care less about what goes on in their private lives.

41 TO Perfect Match

WELL DONE ANGIE!!!

it is time for some stupid reporters to stop asking the same stupid question over and over
like how many kids are you going to adopt, how many kids are you going to have, are you not planning to get marry ever etc etc etc SHEZZZZZZ!!!!

Angie was there to promote the movie and not her life!!!

and besides Angie has said already all she had to about her life with Brad and the Kids so SHUT IT HATERS AND GO AWAY!!!

——————-

Forgot to change your name?

I don’t know why people can’t just accepted she wants to have some focus on this movie. For **** sake its about one of her friends husband’s murder! She just wants a little respect shown them!

One reporter from a major outlet said, “I wouldn’t sign it. Who does she think she is?”

WELL, SHE IS ANGELINA JOLIE!

Its totally disheartening that the media is making a big deal out of this. it only goes to show (to those who backed out) that their interest was not really on the film she’s promoting but to her personal life. Its not like she refuses to share about her life– which she did recently in Esquire, RD, Marie Claire—
there is a time for everything. All she probably wanted was to seriously focus on the film and what it entails, not her life at the moment.

Didn’t Brad ban some reporters from the OC13 footprinting event? Absolutely can’t have anything to do with the serious nature of the film there, ya know. LOL

So WTH DO you think this pair of posers is trying to hide.

WTH? You can’t read either? Fox printed the story but OTHER networks & media ALSO canceled and refused to sign. Stop trying to make it a p*ssing contest between Fox and your Goddess Ho.

JIM LEHRER: Mariane Pearl, widow of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and then murdered by terrorists in Pakistan. She’s now in the United States on her way to Paris for the birth of her first child, a son, in May. Mariane Pearl is a 34-year-old freelance journalist. She and Daniel Pearl were married in 1999. They had been living in Bombay, India, where he was the Journal’s South Asia bureau chief at the time they went to Karachi, Pakistan, to cover aspects of the war on terrorism. I spoke with Mariane Pearl this morning at her Washington hotel.

JIM LEHRER: Mariane Pearl Welcome.

MARIANE PEARL: Thank you

JIM LEHRER: As you know there was another act of terrorism in Pakistan involving some Americans — somebody threw a grenade in a church — two Americans, three others killed, forty more wounded - should this just be seen as another episode in the war on terrorism?

MARIANE PEARL: Most likely. I don’t have the details as to what happened - but apparently it was an act committed against foreigners. It’s happened right in an area of Islamabad that is called, is known as Islamabad diplomatic enclave - a well-protected area where all the embassies are, so I don’t have the details of the investigation but -yes.

Daniel Pearl

JIM LEHRER: This is part of - this is what it was going to be for a while - do you agree with that - in other words, the death of your husband, the kidnapping and death of your husband, the episode yesterday, this is something we’re just going to have to get used to?

MARIANE PEARL: My feeling is, yes. I think - my feeling is that the killing of Danny was not an isolated act but part of a longer process with, you know - different acts of terrorism, which goal is to paralyze us, to prevent any kind of collaboration between Pakistan and maybe other countries we don’t know and the West basically. So I don’t know if getting used to it is the right, the proper word, but we’re going to have to stand up against it.

JIM LEHRER: Have you come to understand why your husband was singled out for kidnapping and killing?

MARIANE PEARL: Understand. Well, as I said, you know, a lot of people, usually when you kidnap someone, you try to exchange him for somebody else or you try to get a ransom. My feeling is that the killing of Danny was more of a declaration of war basically. If you see the e-mails that have been sent to us are very murky - they’re not asking something specific to release Danny but saying this is a warning, this is the beginning of a war against the West. America they call it - so it is not - it’s not a killing that makes any sense.

JIM LEHRER: You think he was chosen just because he was an American, an American journalist?

MARIANE PEARL: I think so. It’s difficult to say right now because he is an American journalist but also a person writing about those issues, terrorism, like most journalists were doing at the time. It was a big story. So it’s not clear. I don’t know yet whether it was because of the story he was writing because one of the stories he wrote just before getting kidnapped was about how the crackdown on terrorists was maybe not as completed as the government was saying it was. So that might have angered people. I do believe that he was chosen as a symbol of journalists getting into the country and reporting, American, and just the West, you know.

Seeking justice
JIM LEHRER: Are you satisfied with the progress that’s being made by the Pakistani government in finding who’s responsible and punishing them?

MARIANE PEARL: I’ll be satisfied when they have everybody arrested and punished and justice is done only. The Pakistani police I have to say have been amazing. They’re very resourceful in terms of, policing the investigation, they’re very, very good policemen, but they have very little resources. And the truth of the matter is that when they started trying to find Danny, the first day of his kidnapping, the next day of his kidnapping, we had to provide them with a printer to - you know - scan the photos of Danny and provide them with flashlights, and there was only one car. You had to push you know for the car to start - it had one light - you know. It was just amazing.

So the lack of resources was something scary - very scary especially when you have to face tech savvy people who have means and technology. They were terrorists that are educated and know how to handle technology. The police in front of them and I think that’s the case probably also in this church bombing and anything else is going to happen is, you know, a handful of very courageous, very capable policemen but had nothing in terms of tools.

JIM LEHRER: What can the United States do to help them? What more can be done?

MARIANE PEARL: A lot.

JIM LEHRER: A lot

MARIANE PEARL: A lot. But I’ve met with President Bush here in Washington and I’ve met with Ms. Rice, Condoleezza Rice, and with Colin Powell and we’ve talked about that. Because the first thing that I really wanted to do after, not even leaving Pakistan because I also met with President Musharraf, is tell the world you know these people, these handful of people I was telling you about is fighting the war on behalf of all of us, because this is, you know, I think an international war - international network of terrorists - with nothing. So I did that.

JIM LEHRER: When you left Pakistan, did you have the feeling that it was still that way? I mean, they had, as you say, they couldn’t find your husband after he was kidnapped, still haven’t found his body, and they apparently haven’t even found enough evidence to even hold up a conviction of some kind. Is that not changed?

MARIANE PEARL: It’s changed a little, but it’s a complicated setting. First of all, because of Pakistan, itself. Karachi is a very huge city of 14 million people, it’s a poor city of 12 million people. It’s very easy to hide in Karachi. So it’s also the nature of the country and its politics complicated, I think. President Musharraf has made me a promise and I hold him to his promise to find the real people and not to be -

JIM LEHRER: He said that to you directly?

MARIANE PEARL: He said that to me directly and he wrote me a letter that I keep very preciously with and very strong commitment to find the people. But to answer your question, there’s also a big obstacle that he faces inside his own country. The setting in Pakistan of justice and law enforcement is more complicated that you would find in the United States. In terms of different agencies and Pakistani intelligence - I’m not clear the role they played in the kidnapping of Danny. You were mentioning the main suspect. This main suspect stayed for one week with the Pakistani intelligence right in the middle of the investigation - I don’t know exactly why. So I raised those questions with President Musharraf.

UPDATE: Father’s Day plans for the Jolie-Pitts! Brad told Extra, “It’s Father’s Day around the corner? I didn’t even know…I’ll just get up with my kids, that’s enough for me!”

Angelina laughed about her plans for Brad: “Well if I tell you, then he’ll know! …The kids are making things.

*****
Awww…too cute.

In the past, celebs watch helplessly as the media spins lies and half-truths about their lives…the Media had all the control, now that someone is wrestling it from them, they cry foul. Ha ha ha ha…Honestly, I don’t know why this makes me giddy with pleasure. I wanna sit back, rub my hands together and say “Exxxxxxcellent” Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

AJ continues to prove she is not and will never be a VICTIM. how can you not admire that kind of spirit?

JIM LEHRER: What did he tell you?

MARIANE PEARL: He acknowledged them. He was very sincere in committing to find Danny, but he also acknowledged that his own political surrounding is complicated.

JIM LEHRER: As you know, the United States has indicted this man, make sure I have his name right here -Ahmed Omar Said Sheikh - the leading suspect. Is that a good idea, for the United States to indict him in criminal court as they have done?

MARIANE PEARL: Indicting him, you mean, like extradite?

JIM LEHRER: Yes. Just to charge him first, make an official charge against him.

MARIANE PEARL: Oh, yeah, that was crucial. That was very, very crucial. The United States has been great, you know, and has reacted very fast. It’s very important that they actually indict him because it allows, you know justice to proceed. Also, the main question is that maybe should he be transferred to the United States, and I’ve raised this question also with President Bush, and there are two aspects to it. You know, one, I think, you know, it’s important psychologically for Pakistan to do its own justice. And it’s going to be, it’s going to lead to trouble. We’ve talked about the church. Probably everything is related - you know, and it’s going to take a lot of courage for them to actually bring this man to justice, but it’s important, because then it’s not the United States leading everything and being you know le gendarme du monde, like the cop of the world, as we say in French, you know.

JIM LEHRER: The cop of the world.

MARIANE PEARL: But helping other people bring their own justice; that’s what we really need. The other thing is I think Mr. Omar Sheikh knows a lot about all these networks of terrorists, and he would be a valuable witness also.

Fighting terrorism

JIM LEHRER: Attorney General Ashcroft, have you talked to him?

MARIANE PEARL: Yes, I’ve talked to him.

JIM LEHRER: Well he said, one of the reasons the United States brought charges against this man was that in case down the line he was free that the United States would have the power to arrest him and bring him to justice. Do you agree with that as a strategy for doing this?

MARIANE PEARL: Yes, absolutely. That’s the best thing we could do. You know, I think it’s really great because they give the chance to Pakistan to implement justice, you know, and then it becomes a strong country in that sense right, but if these obstacles, you know, inner obstacles inside the country would lead, and we don’t know what’s going to happen, you know, we don’t know what kind of resistance Omar Sheikh and his people - will - you know - we don’t know - terrorist acts that will happen as a result of his indictment - we don’t know.

JIM LEHRER: The fact that the U.S. crime that this man is charged with carries the death penalty, does that matter to you at all? If he were tried in the United States and if he were convicted, he could be sentenced to death, does that matter to you?

MARIANE PEARL: The fact that he dies?

JIM LEHRER: No. The fact that he could get the death penalty, maybe not in Pakistan, but he could if he were tried here, does that kind of thing matter to you at all?

MARIANE PEARL: I think in Pakistan also.

JIM LEHRER: In Pakistan -

MARIANE PEARL: I think in Pakistan also. The fact that he dies - I would certainly not cry over his death because I think this guy is a nuisance for humanity basically.

JIM LEHRER: I’m sorry a what.

MARIANE PEARL: Nuisance for humanity.

JIM LEHRER: Nuisance.

MARIANE PEARL: Now what I thought when I was in Pakistan like right after knowing about what happened to Danny, I thought like would I want to see them all dead - probably. I don’t know - but that would not be what I ultimately want. Ultimately, I think, because you know the first question you asked me was “do we have to get use to that” and I think you have to stand up against that. So what ultimately what would help me live through that ordeal, is if I see people standing up against terrorists means not being hijacked by fear, by, you know, being paralyzed by all they did and by actions, more than seeing a few corpses, because then there’s more.

JIM LEHRER: And that is basically your message to the American people who are upset about what happened on September 11, what happened to your husband, that’s the message, don’t give up?

MARIANE PEARL: Yes. You know, because the first thing I wanted to do was to speak to President Musharraf and I saw President Chirac in France, and President Bush and other people as I’ve mentioned before, because if we don’t win against terrorism, it’s a law enforcement problem and communication, dialogue need. It is a political question also, but ultimately I think it’s going to be, something new has to happen, like people have to stand up against, you know, those terrorists. Ultimately we are the victims. For the first time, look at this church, I mean the woman who died and the little girl - they targeted —

JIM LEHRER: The woman who worked in the U.S. embassy, in Islamabad, and her daughter who were sitting in a church.

MARIANE PEARL: Yes. Exactly. And they died - you know - so ordinary people, that’s who they’re targeting, so I think ultimately down the line though we cannot do the work of police and you know, of head of state. Ultimately we are the target, so we have to come up with a response. I think the American people have been really courageous and have been really helpful to me - they’re great people. In a way this has to make - strengthen our determination to fight. That’s not patriotism. It’s something beyond that I think you know it takes a lot of courage to be nonviolent you know or to seek dialogue instead of revenge, you know. I’m trying to come up with this courage myself. But not because I’m a saint or anything like that - it’s just because I would like ultimately to win against them - you know.

JIM LEHRER: And it can’t be done just with guns, you’re saying, it can’t be just a military? There’s more to it than that.

MARIANE PEARL: Because ultimately - what happens is violence brings more violence. And these people who have killed Danny you know they breed out of this violence - they use ignorance. How can you come up and kill an innocent man because he was an American and try - and that was the only explanation and that means in Pakistan it’s enough to say America is the enemy to justify killing an innocent person. That shows you the level of ignorance. People don’t know - don’t know what is an American. It’s so easy. We have to fight this ignorance.

The dangers of covering terrorism

JIM LEHRER: Your husband of course was a journalist and you’re a journalist. Were the two of you, did you ever think of journalism as being a dangerous profession, as a place where your life would be in jeopardy by just practicing it?

MARIANE PEARL: Yes. Yes, because we moved to Bombay. Bombay is not a dangerous place as such, but it’s a difficult place to live - so we made a choice. We made a choice. Danny and I had this strong bond because we were very serious about our journalism profession. We didn’t choose this profession as any other. We didn’t choose it for ego purposes but we chose it because we wanted to change the world. It seems like a big word; it is big words, you know, it is big words, but in our own way we took it very seriously, you know, we did - and Danny - everybody admires him as a journalist. He’s a very ethical person, and you know, when I say changing the world, we would put ourselves in uncomfortable positions and situations just because we wanted to see the truth, which was for Danny an ultimate value in itself, and when he did - when he went to see these guys - terrorists - we’ve met a lot of them before in Pakistan, and they just came simply at them - because we just have this thing what do you have to say and how do you justify your actions and who are you.

That’s all we did, so in that sense we knew. He was not a cowboy you know. Danny is not a cowboy or Rambo. We didn’t go with a Afghanistan, for instance, because I was pregnant. But at the same time I think we took it on us not to be - not to be swayed by the threat - we did not want to be afraid. We don’t want to be afraid I think. We were careful. We very careful but I was never afraid

JIM LEHRER: Do we journalists do a good job of explaining what our jobs are? In other words, your husband was clearly signaled out because he was an American and a symbol of America. Now most journalists would say, hey wait a minute, we just happen to be Americans, but we’re there to cover the news. Do we do that well, do we explain ourselves well?

MARIANE PEARL: I think there’s a lot of improvement, you know, I do. Journalists in my view are becoming such important people because who else is going to the field and explaining building those bridges between people? Not everybody can go to Pakistan and see it with their own eyes. So they’re going to rely on the press. So it’s a lot of power to be a journalist today, so a lot of power means a lot of responsibility, and I think journalists have to acknowledge that they have power and that they should be the representatives of the people and not of -

JIM LEHRER: Not of the government though?

MARIANE PEARL: Not of the government. Not of an idea. I mean, if they’re ideological, then they should say, I’m going to report that with my right wing views or left wing views or whatever but then they should stay because opinion is so important and everything they have in education mission. People are smart enough to recognize the truth but if you mislead with information because you’re in competition with somebody else or because you have an ego problem, or because this and that. Then, you know, it makes me sad because I think you know the consequences are bad are difficult.

JIM LEHRER: And the dangers involved are just part of the job, right?

MARIANE PEARL: Yeah. What can I say about that. You know, Danny was in a way - you know, he didn’t think people would harm a journalist and I didn’t think either. Because all we do is have the courage to go and try to reflect views, so I think - we’ve crossed , there’s an expression that there’s a step that has been crossed - like something that you didn’t think would happen, that they wouldn’t harm somebody which has come to them - but they did, so the safety issue, it’s a delicate one. I certainly don’t want anybody to get harmed again, but again that’s also what they want to scare us again so they we don’t go again.

JIM LEHRER: Do you plan to return to journalism yourself?

MARIANE PEARL: To Pakistan.

JIM LEHRER: Not to Pakistan.

MARIANE PEARL: Pakistan I will.

JIM LEHRER: You will go back to Pakistan?

MARIANE PEARL: Yes, of course, yes, I will.

JIM LEHRER: Why? Why would you go back?

MARIANE PEARL: I’d go back because the same way I didn’t leave right away Pakistan after I learned about Danny’s death. The same way I would not be afraid to return and Pakistan has invited me as a long friend of the country and has given me a long-term visa to go back because I’m not afraid. I mean, I would not say I would never go back to this country, it’s evil, would be exactly what these people want. And I won’t submit to that.

JIM LEHRER: The baby’s due in May.

MARIANE PEARL: Yes.

JIM LEHRER: Where’s the baby going to be born?

MARIANE PEARL: In Paris.

JIM LEHRER: In Paris.

MARIANE PEARL: Yes.

JIM LEHRER: And then you will eventually go from there back to Pakistan, you believe?

MARIANE PEARL: Well, it depends on the course of events.

JIM LEHRER: Sure. But you see yourself as a journalist, you are a journalist?

MARIANE PEARL: Yes.

JIM LEHRER: And you will always practice journalism?

MARIANE PEARL: Yes.

JIM LEHRER: And the death of your husband doesn’t change anything as far as that is concerned for you?

MARIANE PEARL: As far as that is concerned its going to give me more strength and determination to do my job.

JIM LEHRER: My condolences to you. Thank you very much and good luck to you.

MARIANE PEARL: Thanks a lot.

Good for them! In this case, the media should only be focused on the movie and its content!

BTW - That bag of popcorn Angie’s got is probably for Z!

u fanston STOP posting!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont u get it? I’ll bern ur ***

i love all the watb for fox news. considering that their audience is the least informed in america, why the hell should she waste her time. besides, can you imagine what bill ‘loofah man’ oreilly would do if he was anywhere near her. of course, she’d prolly be able to kick his white flabby *ss back to long island.

bwahahahahahaha.

I don’t blame her. The focus should be strictly on the movie. It would be an insult to Marianne. Also those reporters who did not sign the contract obviously had one thing in mind…and that was to pimp Angie for questions about her personal life. If they cared anything about the move then they would have sign.
I think her and Brad has answered enough questions about their personal lives. Enough already. Anything she says will only get manipulated by the media. And the question about who does she think she is? She’s Angelina Jolie, you betta recognized!

No Matter what people say they are living their live and enjoying and loving each other and their kids.

And in regards to Who does she think she is..Angelina Jolie thats who, who could careless if she never gets any movie deal or whatever - she got her family and thats all that matter to her!

From Extra. Also Access Hollywood have video of last night.

Angie on Brad: ‘He Was a Great Producer’

Amidst a fan frenzy, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt came straight to “Extra” Wednesday night at the premiere of their film, “A Mighty Heart.”

Pitt, who produced the film in which Angie stars, told us, “I just get to wear a different hat… this was a book I fell in love with.”

On having Pitt as her boss, Jolie insisted, “He was a great producer. He was home, he was helping… very supportive of everybody, and it makes it run very smoothly.”

But Brad quickly added, “She has no boss.”

With Father’s Day right around the corner, Brad admitted he doesn’t have big plans.

“It’s Father’s Day?” he said. “I didn’t even know… I’ll just get up with my kids. That’s enough for me.”

Jolie wouldn’t reveal her plans to celebrate Pitt this Sunday, insisting, “Well if I tell you, then he’ll know! The kids are making things.”

Way to go Angie, way to go!!!

This is just silly, fox decided not to sign cause it was asked to focus on the film instead of asking personal questions.
Their mistake and their lost.

I saw the AH video and that women keept on asking stupid questions…I love how Angie replaied re new adoption AS I AM GOING TO ANNOUNCE IT RIGHT HERE!!!

for the love of God, Jared. Post something else. This whole three ring bullshit battle between Aniston, Jolie and Pitt is idiotic.

Some of these idiots are answering their own questions.

It’s not so much about what Brad and Angelina are trying to hide; it is what so-called journalists are trying to ‘find’.

Look at what they ‘found’ at the GGs; a woman who wasn’t supporting her man.

We all know now that she was supporting her man, but her mind was also on her mother.

I hope this movie will come to San Antonio. I support Brad and Angelina. While I think Fox definately overeacted , I do prefer them over the other news channels esp CNN. Now and days it is only Brad or angelina that can get me to watch CNN. I have LKL on tivo since I will be watching the Spurs play tonight. I am watching three of my nieces and nephewes for 10 days while their parents are overseas. I can see why Brad/Angelina are tired sometimes.

perez is crazy,today most of his posters support angie which is rare.i donot care what people say,the rag media are so rude the way they question the jolie pitts i will ban their asses if i was angie.i support freedom,but not base on lies.fox and those who withdraw go cover the paris hilton story that is all you are good at,fools

I agree with u #100. lol

Finally .. Brad told her to put a sock in it. That is what happens when you share your life with the world and then expect them not to want to know your personal life. Hopefully she has learned her lesson.

++++++++++++++++

I think people are overlooking the fact that there’s a third party involved here - the studio. Maybe it’s the studio’s mandate to cut down on the personal interviews and pimp the movie more. For the most part Angie has always answered whatever questions are asked of her and because she’s such an interesting person and her interviews SELL MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS…that’s what the media cares about. So it’s possible the studio wanted the interviews on the day of the premiere to put the focus squarely on the movie and not on Angier herself.

106 Rubi

+++++++++

I agree with you….Pendejos!!!!

I just don’t understand why the press was so furious about angelina decision not to answer any personal question.. she have the right to do that to have 100% focus to the movie not to her personal life.. I think if not the focus will be 70% story about her personal life and 30% about the movie.. she done the right thing.. although i think Brad was the person behind all this becoz Angelina Jolie that we all known is very out spoken and brutally honest about her personal life..this is the first time ever she become a bit firm to the press..Its good for the movie and for her..

Slightly OT…

I saw TDS and heard the reaction of the audience. For those who missed it, they will rebroadcast the show at 8pm EST.

For some reason, Fox’s attack on Angelina makes me smile, mainly because they threw in the fact that their review of AMH was positive. To me, that implies that they expected something in return, mainly access to her. Unfortunately, they failed to acknowledge that they helped to spread rumors about Angelina, ie. the lapdance story, Angelina doesn’t love Shiloh, Angelina’s Vogue story was an admission of misconduct, the Angelina versus Madonna saga, Brad give Angelina an ultimatum regarding Shiloh, Angelina’s UN work is solely for publicity, Angelina’s ‘bad attitude’ at the GGs, James is worried about Angelina’s weight, and dozens of other stories; the sad thing is that all of these stories were within the last six months.

And let’s not forget that Fox is slow about making corrections a la mistaking Congressman Conyers with William Jefferson. Angelina never received any sort of consideration from them at all, so why should she play with them?

Fox seems only watches NBC in order to catch and point out their mistakes; unfortunately for them, they failed to watch the Ann Curry interview when Angelina declared that she appreciated great journalism and that it was a part of her education. She also stated that she had to question the reputation of a news outlet if they report incorrect information. That was a foreshadow, my Fox friends.

Angelina stated that she didn’t read tabloids, and sadly, she doesn’t have to. The so-called mainstream media, specifically, those more to the right, regurgitate these rumors if only to have something to rail against and shout their indignation about. The indignation may be well-placed, but the scenerio that they were talking about was usually a work of fiction; but what remains is the memory- the fact that some of these anchors, placed a human face or reaction, to a supposed story.

Another reason why I’m smiling is because this alleged ’slight’ completely overshadows Ted C.’s. He is merely a gossip monger, not necessarily a profession that elicit admiration and respect. These so-called legitimate journalists, who may have covered hard news, now seem to be purveyors of lies too. The same remedy applied to the same symptom. That would be infinitely more humiliating to so-called legitimate news outlets and their journalists.

some people saying the film will bomb are crazy,saying the film was for the x etc,all this bitterness never cease to amaze me.anyway,lets not forget to watch larry king and daily show

To the reporter who said who does she think she is? When u wanted to interview her whom did u think she was? Bonjoling.

I dont blame her. Everyone always wants her to talk about her personal life, and then they twist things around and say she wont shut up about it. The event is to promote the movie and honor Daniel Pearl and that should be their focus.

Hey guys, I just saw an tv ad for tonight’s Daily show, I loved it. The voice over said that Angie is “Multi-talented, Mutlti-tasking, Mutli-Beautiful,” as they show pictures and video of her. “There’s only one word that describes her” a picture of her appears with words like “Actress, producer, humanitarian, mother” around her face. The voice over guys says, “Multi!”

WAY TO GO ANGIE!!!! I absolutely applaud her actions.

The press always like to make it seem as though they are the innocent party in everthing, as though they are just doing their jobs. So now Angie is the ‘bad guy’ here because she requested not to be questioned about her private life, but only about the movie. That would be a tough request when you only had questions on everything but AMH.

It is time we rally around Angie!! It is time we rally around women who are strong and are trying to make a difference in the world. Go Angie! Angie for Prseident!

A la cara de caballo jamás le podra pasar esto,dado que una actriz de la lista Z,no tiene repercusión internacional…porque a ver a quien coño fuera de los Estados Unidos le importa la señora que parece un hombre,pero que parece que es una mujer,aunque pudiera ser que se operara y engañara a todos,incluidos un marido idiotizado durante tantos años

Angelina ha hecho muy bien,además ya tienen los tabloides material para tres meses:ya veo los titulares…crisis Angie se niega a hablar sobre sus problemas con Brad…encima les ha hecho un favor…tontos

Angie for President!!!1

Lainey has her own take on the whole fox thing saying that brad is the more media savvy of the two and that maybe he was more behind this then angie and she says as usual brad gets a free pass and angie takes all the blame.

I can’t stop laughing at “Backlash”. Backlash over what? AJ telling the press to stay focused? Rotflmao….if Paris Hilton’s parents can still walk around with their heads held up high then trust me….AJ will be perfectly fine.

I guess some people think if they repeat it often enough, it will come true.

You hags are so sad, when reports stick the movie and dont ask about her life, you call out how stupid of reports they are b/c you are greedy for the dirt and when they dont ask the questions you dont like you put them down too. How about this, you hags get a life and go to school to be a jounralist and then you can hound her and ask the “RIGHT” Questions .. boneheads!

I see a few of have already commented on the personal stuff that has been posted … hypocrites!

I was right, several months I ago I said this constant pooping of the mouth she does will bit her in the behind (well if she had one) but it will certainly start be an issue in her life with a guy that likes to remain private. Tick tock tick tock!

#59 it’s not that she has Brad, it’s how she went about getting Brad. Bitc*!

HOooooo, we love Angie!!!!!

Angie for president¡¡

Enough is enough. We support Angie! Enough of the false press crap!!! Enough with twisting her words!!

ATTENTION REAL JOURNALISTS AND NEWS REPORTERS!!!!

PICK THIS STORY UP AND INVITE A PANEL INCLUDING DAN RATHER ( REAL JOURNALIST) WHO JUST BLASTED THESE SO CALLED MAINSTREAM MEDIA NEWS OUTLETS FOR MAKING PARIS HILTON 24 PRIME TIME NEWS WHILE WE HAVE A WAR GOING ON, PEOPLE IN THE GOVERNMENT ARE GETTING SUBPEANED, GLOBAL WARMING AND ALL THESE F*CKING THINGS THAT DO MATHER!!!!!

YOU’LL COME OUT SMELLING LIKE ROSES AND WE WILL APPLAUD YOU FOR IT!!\

P.S DON’T FORGET TO THANK MISS JOLIE FOR PUTTING BACK THE FOCUS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE…

FILM PREMIERE IS TO TALK ABOUT THE FILM..ESPECIALLY THIS ONE!!

I love Angelina as much as the next person, but I do see the irony that A Mighty Heart is supposedly pushing freedom of the press while Angelina makes a point to do the opposite. Also why couldn’t she just not answer if someone asked her a question she didn’t like? It’s almost like she’s drawing more attention to her private life…

#125 - I totally agree with you, Angelina for
President…

This probably explains the serious faces of Brad and Angelina at the after party. Some of the reporters there were probably from the tabs and the contract was intended to curtail their penchant for smut and smears. However, it was the major publications that got insulted. Can’t win ‘em all. Cest la vie. Hope this blows away soon.

And, I have to give mad props to Jared for posting this. He’s accused of being one sided for his favorites, but this is proof he’s a journalist….freedom of the press.

Reporters Without Borders.. meaning reporters who risk their lives to report the truth..not Faux News or connected, closeted Billy Bush who asks celebrities the most asinine questions imaginable.. there is a difference people.. lets get real.

They wanted this to be about real journalists and the movie.. that excludes Life&Style, InTouch, National Inquirer, ect… those people are an insult to real journalists.

And I saw Access Hollywood video clip ..she was very sweet and cordial and anwered some personal questions until they got too when she would be adopting next and she immed ended the interview politely but abruptly and moved on.

141 Spain | 06/14/2007 at 12:48 pm
Angie for president¡¡

LMAO oMG the world is coming to the end, adultry wil be allowed, no marriages for anyone, the US will become Africa becuz Angie doesnt care about America .. only beyond the US borders. So I guess it would be like the pres we have now, he only cares about Iraq …

Truly a sad day, what would been a great story has now been overshadowed by the frenzy that follows her. Any other producer would of passed on her due to the fact that she is not alwys good for biz.

Joey | 06/14/2007 at 12:54 pm

Thank you for posting that interview.

Sad isn’t it… that on the day the movie about DP (a reporter who’s quest to find the truth led to his death) is screened, these other so called “reporters” throw a hissy fit over what they perceive as them being done wrong. How much more self-centered can they be? You’d think they’ll use this opportunitty to celebrate the life of someone who stood for good journalism, instead they whine and moan because AJ won’t let them ask questions about what side of the bed she sleeps on.

we have one ignorant hater that keeps on coming over and over again,lets talk about something else,enough about this fake media ****

Press respect one of your own. Stop whinning.

Respect Daniel Pearl. Respect the sacrifice he made for journalism. Forget about yourselves for a minute. This is not about Angelina and that’s what she is saying. It’s about one of your own.

Respect Daniel Pearl. Respect the sacrifice he made for journalism. Forget about yourselves for a minute. This is not about Angelina and that’s what she is saying. It’s about one of your own.

——

I agree, people are not talking about the movie. It’s always about Jolie!

I watch fox news. I prefer them over the other news sources. I am a Brad/Angelina fan. What news you watch has nothing to do with whether you like Brad/Angelina. There have been negative Brad/Angelina stuff on CNN, MSNBC, etc. There have been positive stuff. People at this blog complain about how Brad/Angelina are treated on Showbiz today on CNN all of the time. There are good, bad and in bewtween journalist on CNN, NBC,CBS, fox, etc.

why the hell would i want to know who barfed on brad’s shirt this morning when i can learn more about the movie? the movie in which this whole premiere is about.

to the reporters who didn’t sign the contract, shows what type of stories they’re into. they’re not journalists, they’re just of people who gossip and who wants to spread it. they’re no different from the lainey and perez hiltons of today.

is it so hard not to ask personal questions and stick to the movie subject? sheesh, what a bunch of losers.

The trouble with the so-called ‘free press’ all over the western world is that they actually believe their own hype. They actually believe that they are indeed kingmakers. LOL.

Because they have become more and more outrageous with their freedom to thrash whomever they want, misrepresent what people actually say, and create whole cloths out of their own fabrications about people’s lives, they probably thought that the consuming public had remained dumb and ignorant about these tactics.

Cellular, internet and computer technologies are creating whole new worlds and the media ‘king makers’ are being hoisted with their own petard. The laugh is on them.

Do you blame her; they always use it to say negative things about her. She is fighting back!!

Fox news has plenty of reporters out in the field risking their lives to cover events around the world. They also have people who cover the soft news and entertsainment just like CNN and other places have. I don’t agree with all of these people . The reality is that the days of 100% ACCURATE UNBIASED news is over. There is not a single news outlet that comes closed to being unbiased most of the time. I prefer FOX because i am pro military/military personell esp and a Moderate. I ignore the far right . The far left I ignore as well and try to avoid because they make my skin crawl.

I think the contract thing is not new, it’s just this time Faux-News want to make a big deal about it, just to diss B&A again. I was kind of surprised last week to keep seeing posts about this guy working for Faux-News reviewing AMH. I kind of smelled something fishy, but didn’t pay much attention to it. He was just like a cat eyeing the canary, and wait for the right time to jump on it. I should have followed my instinct and blow the whistle right then.
I am really glad B&A insisted on focusing on the movie, instead of wasting their time answering shallow, stupid questions.

Last night was not a two hour sit down interview. She was asked a couple of questions by some reporters and she was there to promote her film, so ofcourse she didnt want to discuss her personal life. If she allowed those questions to be asked, thats pretty much all people would ask. And realy, how on earth do you think that would not only make her and Brad feel, but more importantly Marianne Pearl? This was realy Marianne’s night, not a night with another chance to ask the couple about their children, again. For some reason the world is obsessed with celebrities private lives and especially the children, and thats what sells. And these reporters care more about that then a real woman with real feelings who lost her husband in the most gruesome and cruelest way possible. How very sad.

—————-

100% agree!

All of the news outlets are guilty of engaging in the same stuff that fox news haters are dissing Fox over. I quit watching CNN 4-5 years ago for those reasons. Like I said the days of unbiased accurate news without any agenda are long gone. It would only take one hand IMO to count the number of great journalist esp on TV or major newspapers today. That is sad.

it’s sad that the press, the one so called legitimate, are more willing to back out of an interview where the focus is on a journalist who was murdered, than to stay because an actress will not discuss about her personal life.

175 Malibumom | 06/14/2007 at 1:12 pm
I would have had less respect for Angie had she gave press interviews and talked about her family-This movie is different than any other. She owed the Pearls the utmost respect in how she conducted herself and what she said. What I find intriguing is the press backed out. I would have loved to have heard questions asked about Daniel and his zest for journalism. Wow, they missed the boat. The reporters are journalist (some of them) or at least they are in the media business, with that said, how would they feel if their wives had to go through with what Marianne had to go through. This was not the time to talk about kids and brad. Oceans 13 was Brad’s movie-it was in a different setting. What if after the premier of AMH, Brad would have pounced on her in a limo? Most ppl would be outraged and yell “it was distasteful” Correct me if I am wrong, but did she talk about her kids in the screening of AMH in Cannes? If so, maybe she was told it was offensive, if not, she is just following the same script. Besides, what else is there to know about her personal life? She and Brad have given us more than they had to. Besides that, do you think that there are any american soldiers who have been killed today. Any of there moms crying today-how about their kids. What in God’s name are they gonna do for father’s day, especially if their dad has been killed in IRAQ!
==================

Great post Malibumom. That “reporter” from Faux-News is not doing Daniel Pearl any favor by focusing on the wrong thing. Any person with an iota of common sense could see that B&A are not restricting freedom of the press, they just want them to focus on the right subject, not B&A’s private life.

I don’t blame AJ at all. AMH is important and she wants the focus to stay on the film. Besides
people twist her words anyway. JJ it would be great if you can interview her.Maybe someday?

Chez, no offense to you or Jen, but the day jennifer Aniston befriends a woman like Marianne Pearl and does a movie about her husband being brutally murdered, let me know. In fact, if David Arq. was brutally murdered and Jen played courtney in a movie about that, I don’t think in a million years, Jen would talk about her private life at the screening of the movie. I don’t see the press writing bad things about Jen, I see an overexposure of a syrupy sweet image that I am supposed to swallow but I gag instead because I am intelligent enough to know the difference between sugar and Shytt!

Malibumom
Tell me why then has she been in all these magazines promoting this movie and then telling us all about getting naked in the bath!!!! Screams of double standards to me.

Mmmmm, Joey, kb, stacey,Robert Antigone, wrong , emma

why are these Fugly Females Psycho HAGS always on Angie’s thread .. You psychos always saying you can’t stand HER but you all like an addict you look everywhere everyday in cyberspace for B&A fix .. .. pathetic get a life Fuglies better yet go find a cave and be a hermit… LOL

She’s already talked about her private life ad naseum . . . it’s a about time for her to keep quiet. And the contract isn’t at all unsual!

Hello! Celebs do this all the time, why when it comes to her she’s being “full of herself”. Please. I think Jolie is learning the hard lesson of keeping her mouth shut, especially to the printed press because a lot of her quotes get misconstrued. She gave them tons of material already to naw over for months . . . do they honestly need more?

And Fox News would be the outlet reporting this.

There sole purpose in life is to obssess about the JPs. Mmmmm lives on this site, she has no life. I’m starting to wonder if she is on JA payroll. Hey Mmmmm meet me in a dark alley,

I thought that was pretty standard as far as having interviewers sign things about what you will and won’t discuss. I remember hearing a lot of other A-list celebs doing it. I mean, the President does it all the time for EVERYTHING. What’s the big deal?

I’m sure it was to keep focus on the true meaning of the movie. It’s easy to overlook when star power of their magnitude do a project together.

90 N to the O | 06/14/2007 at 12:25 pm
Hmmmmm. Angie tried to force them to sign this contract,why? She spills everything about her private life anyway so what is she scared of? There is nothing they could have asked that we don’t already know the answers to, she has pretty much told the world everything already anyway. And does anyone else find it ironic that she pulled this bullshit when her whole “cause” was REPORTERS WITHOUT BORDERS!!! LMAO!!!!

++++++++++++++++

She didn’t try to “force” them to sign anything. They had the option not to and when they wouldn’t she walked away and did no interviews at all. If I were her I’d take it as a signal that the media only wants to use her personal life to sell their product.

I personally feel the request unnecessary, but then again I haven’t spent the last two years with @ssholes with cameras and bad attitudes parked outside my door and didn’t even have common courtesy to back off when a parent died. At this point if Angie refuses to answer personal questions ever again, then the media only have themselves to blame. Alls she asked was ONE interview without personal questions or using her comments to spin a negative story. The fact that the request took place at an event for Reporters Without Border IS ironic, but not in the way you mean. It’s ironic that people who dodge bullets in an effort to write stories about wars, terrorism, etc. are shoved aside because their bosses are more intersted in the personal life of an actress than in the story of one of their own who died in the line of duty.

The woman is an actress. So focus on her acting. Acting is her job so ask questions about her “job” NOT her personal life. those of you on here spouting off in outrage GET THE “F” OVER IT!!! You d*mn well if your coworkers started gossiping about you and only wanted to talk to you regarding your “personal” life you would have a freakin’ fit! You would have the right to set the tone of the conversation and would probably say “none of your godd*mn business. So why can’t she say the same.

If these so-called journalist really cared about the movie then this wouldn’t be a problem. So why are they whinning? Who does she think she is? She’s the one calling the shots thats who. And trust me…this will have no affect on her what-so-ever. They whined and screwed everybody, so now no one can get a print interview. They’ll always come crawling back. You think for one instant that if she says to them “hey I’ll talk to you.” These same whinning a$$ reporters won’t be running over themselves to get the interview? These same reporters are probably wishing they’d kept their freakin’ mouths shut now, because the lady never forgets.

How many other celebrities draw up the same clauses? John T., Tom C, Elizabeth T, Julia R,Denzel W., George C., etc. They ALL have certain clauses in ALL of their interviews. Reporters can’t just ask them anything and they make sure they don’t even try. But because its her, there’s a problem. like she’s the only celebrity to say “I’m not talking about my personal life.” especially when the forum is in regards to a movie such as this.

So again, who is she? She’s Angelina “at the top of her game” Jolie and she’s the Grand B*tch in charge and she says:

It’s about “A Mighty Heart” NOT the JOLIE-PITTs
and if you can’t abide by that, well than “toodles”!

If you wanna read about her personal life, go and grab an ‘Esquire’ mag, or Marie Claire. Knock yourself out. That’s what “those” interviews were for.

Put yourself in their shoes for a minute. How would you like to be followed constantly when you stepped outside or went to the store? I would do what I could to have some control over my life. Don’t believe everything you hear, remember it’s the media.

89 N to the O | 06/14/2007 at 12:25 pm
Let’s see if you can understand this. There is nothing new in their private lives that hasn’t already been talked to death. The two of them have had a few openings in the past month yes? JOURNALISTS - you know those professionals who actually do the research, not quote unsourced gossip - should be more than happy that they wanted the focus to be on the movie and Daniel and Marianne. Anyone who wouldn’t sign the waiver obviously had “gossip” on their minds, not the movie anyway.

Jared - do you understand “Freedom of the Press”. You have just made yourself out to be an ignorant fool. Don’t you want to reword your post. Take a hint from Perez.

——————————-
Jared understands prefectly well what “Freedom of the Press” is. Do you understand what “Freedom to decline answering irrelevant questions” is ? A deal works both ways, if the media cannot honour its part then there is no deal. It’s very democratic so don’t ***** too much you are making yourself out to be the ignorant fool. I think I’ll spell it out - You are an ignorant fool.

To first and last post
Well said. Amen! Couldn’t have said it better myself. They still wouldn’t get it. Too many big words. :)

PS I neglected to note that AJ “may” have signed a contract with RD, Esquire, Marie Claire where she is not allowed over a designated period of time to talk about her personal life other than through those interviews…hence potentially hurting the sales of those magazines which are all due out at this time. If she nonchalantly made comments on the red carpet, she then would be in violation of those contracts.

Angie is damn if she does and damn if she doesn’t!!!!! The tabs will have a field day with this!! Get ready troops for some negative campaign! Of course, they will find something negative anyway. I’m glas she did something! She is probably tired of the focus being on her personal life rather then her work. She knows which media source to go to that are reputable! I email a question to Larry King for her tonight! I hope they choose it! I’m sure she got a bunch. Can’t wait! I love this family and I know they want their privacy, but the only way we can see them is with premier etc and the paparaz! They are a great family,people and actors!!
The reason that Z probably had the blanket over her head was due to the cameras and flashes! Maybe it was getting a little too much for her. I think it is wonderful that they are going to see some of the sights of the city!

Good for you Angie! It’s called a personal life for a reason. Just because you’re famous for acting, doesn’t mean your private life is fair game. I don’t know how any celeb deals with this constantly!

Looks good to me.

btw That should have been I don’t think so.

Chez,

I agree with you about the bias toward Aniston, I don’t participate in that.

Honestly, Aniston said the same thing. I saw her in interview around the time of her break-up with Pitt and she had given extensive interviews about her break-up, but she said she drew the line when it came to legitimate news outlets like CNN doing stories on her. I can’t remember what interview it was, but I’m sure I could find it if I looked. Her statement was that she expected tabloids to dig into her personal business, but not legitimate news agencies. I applauded her too then for saying that because I completely agreed with her.

Don’t forget the biggest fansite on the internet. Check for latest Brad & Angelina posts:

http://jjb.yuku.com/topic/73336/t/BRAD-ANGELINA-MEGA-POST-.html

It was a private event and Jolie had right to invite whomever she wanted to invite.

Since when have FOX news and tabloids qualified as legitimate reporters or journalists? FOX does not report, it airs its own heavily biased view of the world. Tabloids do not report, they create fictionalized accounts, never check sources (if there were any in the first place), and hardly recant false stories.Everything comes with a price - even our freedoms. I do not believe these guys are up to the task of safeguarding the freedom of press by exhibiting responsible journalism.

I’m sure Angelina will not lose any sleep over this. This is nothing new in her world. Bad press? What else is new. She’ll rise above it like she always does. No big whoop. Can’t wait to watch her Larry King tonight. I’m sure he’ll bring this topic up.

229 the real tita | 06/14/2007 at 2:51 pm
OMG, Angie is getting the backlash from this alright. Drudge has it so you can bet it will be on every outlet before the day is out.

It’s already making the rounds in the political blogs and it isn’t pretty. You know comedians and hen shows will be picking this up next. If the conference was for anything but Reporters without Borders it wouldn’t be so bad. I love her with all my heart but somebody gave her poor advice on this one cause the ugliness that stemmed from this could have been avoided. Wrong timing, is all. I hope this blows over soon.
_______________________________________

But the thing is that Reports Without Borders are not paparazzi. If you are reporter linked to Reporters Without Borders, you would not be talking about Angelina’s personal life.

She should stop taking tips/advice from Brad. She was doing fine with her own style .

You cannot hate the reports, what is wrong with you? If you start banning them who you will provide you something to talk about? Lies or truth you all do not care, you just want to talk about something that has something to do with Brad and Angie. They are going to serious lengths for you people and this is the way you treat them? Whoa, where is the love?

35 truth | 06/14/2007 at 12:01 pm
They use her to sell magazines everyweek, so she makes money for everyone. Everybody should be happy.

BACKLASH????

she is under the worst kind of backlash for two years… so let me ask, what’s new here??

good for you angie.

I agree with both of you.

For some of the narrow minded inviduals who are posting here, your ignorance and limited education are evidenced when you say that because of ‘freedom of the press, Angie should not have made this type of request.’ I suppose you were the ones glorifying in the ‘freedom of the press’ as they dug up every sordid detail surrounding Anna Nicole’s life and death, and just wallowing in glee as so called ‘major news organizations’ broke into their regular broadcasting to show us Paris Hilton being led off to jail again, in tears.

It’s a sad day in journalism when some journalists would prefer to discuss whether Angie will adopt next or have a bio baby, as opposed to the subject of the movie, wherein another journalist like themselves, is put to death in a foreign country leaving a young, pregnant wife.

ANGIE ALL THE WAY!!

Why is everyone acting like it’s the end of the world? So what, a negative article from Fox News is printed. I don’t see the big deal. And get ready for what war? Troops? What? It’s a negative article it’s not the end of the world and who cares what some “tabs” have to say? Honestly I think if you spend less time here and go into the real world people 1. do not know about this and 2. do not care either way. What comidians are going to talk about this ? lol It’s a nothing article. The people here are sadly adding the fule to this tiny little fire. Actually calling it a “backlash” or “fire” is giving it too much credit.

I honestly think people here need some perspective. It says alot about journalism and it’s fall and what the public wastes its time on then Angelina Jolie.

Talk about a non story lol.

______________________________________

The thing is, it’s not a non story. It is a big deal for her, Brad, Marianne, the movie, the studio.

“….he viewers felt they were being shut out and slighted….”

Viewers? It is one reporter that wrote one article. Since when has Angelina Jolie catered to the auidence of the Fox News channel. She has managed to have a successful film career regardless of what the tabloids have said. This writer is a nobody. And Fox News is not any place I go to for entertainment news about Angelina. Honestly some people act as if Fox News is the be all and end all. As if she can’t exist without them. No offense but this entire conversation about this article is ****. It makes no sense to me and I think I’ll stop engaging in it. People are deluted if you think this will matter in the long run.

“…conference for freedom of the press”

lol what? It’s a film premiere. What conference did you see?

No offense but your argument seems to be that Angelia should growal and cater to one ego brused “journalist.” The argument makes no sense and shows way too much deference towards a two bit new organization.

And I don’t care how big their audience is. If Angelina’s success relied on Fox News she would be dead already career wise and Jennifer Aniston would be the one with the hot career. So lets stop it with the ‘Angelina needs to cater to the Fox News corp. and it’s audience.”

People do read tabloids. And the # 1 film Is Oceans 13. I recall “fans” saying all the tabloid crap and “journalistic” backlash would kill Brad’s career. And that his previous film Babel would also suffer.

Give me a break lol

New thread and ohh I see more backlash over the dress than this.

#250: how many times do I have to tell you that it is not a “journalist” but a whole freaking news network that is up in arms. If you don’t think that’s a big deal, then more power to you. The media is taking this as a story. It will have legs when more people read about this. Couple that with what they think AMH is, not a tribute to Daniel Pearl but something sympathetic to the terrorists. If they don’t see the movie, then they wouldn’t be proven wrong, would they?

You already know how they (the ones you call the minivan majority) perceive Angelina. Would it hurt for them to see that she is not all that the tabs portray her to be?

If you care for Angelina like I think you do, then wouldn’t you want more people to appreciate her efforts and correct the misconceptions about her? This does not add to her attributes and good image. Besides, it’s not good business to antagonize potential ticket buyers when your in the movie business. That is a very important point in all this.

Angie is all about extreme she says it herself (Brad grounds her) but once again gone too far. She needs to learn her own boundries and get on the same page as her partner on how they choose to deal with their personal matters. She is always be picked on, I guess like always taking things to the extreme, she took one too many husbands. No matter what she does, she will not get from under this constant judging. Do you think it will break her?

we all know Aj doesn’t give a damn. what people ask she will answer.

it’s obvious that Brad and his Pr team are behind this one .

Angelina Jolie has the right to do so. Average citizen is even better protected by law than celebrities. None of us here can bash on or demean our neighbours without consequences… so why shouldn’t Angelina protect herself and her family.

You guys don’t get it. The press did the right thing in upholding the rights of a free press. They cannot allow people to dictate the content of their own interviews.

It’s irrelevant whether or not Angie’s demand to talk only about the movie is a good idea or not. The point is that in free countries, the press is allowed to ask whatever they want. Likewise, the person being interviewed has the right to not answer the questions. But dictating what questions can and cannot be asked is going too far.

The press owns the interview. They decide what ends up in the published story, not the person interviewed.

That’s why the press decided to bag the interviews.

oh and may i just add…reporters and the media are free to choose which angle of the story they want to emphasize but is this angle RELEVANT? if not, then the whole exercise would be futile.

sadly, the media most often chooses to focus on all the juicy aspects of a celebrity’s private life, scandals and mere made-up tales–all geared towards what’s gonna sell and not what’s real.

where’s the integrity in that?!

sorry if i’m babbling but this whole non-issue is just annoying to me!

I think I got it.

You seem to miss the fact that the press junked this opportunity because they saw that not having unlimited access to Jolie as a deal-breaker.

There were other actors in this film; I doubt that they would’ve been subjected to the line of questioning as Angelina.

There is a director; the emphasis could’ve been on his approach to filming this difficult subject.

There are the producers; the difficulties in adapting and executing the concept into film would’ve been a interesting slant.

Instead, they closed the door on the possibilities because Angelina closed the possibilities of expanding on what baby bath she uses; whether she’s going to gain weight anytime soon; which country will she adopt from next; and dozens of other questions that were answered in the magazines.

Face it… the majority of the press have become Stuttering Johns or that cigar-smoking dog puppet from the Conan show.

267 Ver | 06/14/2007 at 4:56 pm

Fox, USA Today etc. got butthurt because they don’t give a **** about the movie.

=========================================

Exactly!!!!

These outlets went there with an agenda and we all can see it wasn’t to cover the premiere of a very important movie.

This story doesn’t make sense as Angie is one of, if not, THE most transparent Hollywood star ever. She’s never shied away from personal questions before so why would she start now?

Seems like the ultra conservatives have got it in for Angelina now.

Fox is a terrible, one sided news station. They are also known for puting a negative slant on anything that has to do with Peace and Tolerance. So who cares that Fox was singled out. Certainly not me. I also beg to differ that Fox is more popular than CNN.

Get Buzzed: Angelina Jolie’s borders

By Angie Fenton
afenton@courier-journal.com
The Courier-Journal

Angelina Jolie tried to censor the press on Wednesday at a red-carpet event intended to benefit Reporters Without Borders, an organization that advocates for freedom of the press.

Jolie, 32, banned Fox News Channel and all Fox affiliates from covering the premiere of her latest film, “A Mighty Heart,” in which she plays the widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

Jolie then required all journalists covering the fete to sign a contract that barred them from asking anything of a personal nature. Any interviewer who asked questions Jolie deemed inappropriate would not be allowed to keep his or her tape of the interview.

Despite reports that USA Today declined to accept Jolie’s demands and opted out of the interview, editor Lorena Blas said the paper was never offered an interview in the first place.

A year ago, Roger Friedman of Fox News reported that “Jolie and Pitt were responsible for the expulsion of journalists in Namibia where the couple went to have their child, Shiloh.”

Jeff Julliard, editorial director of Reporters Without Borders in Paris, told Friedman he is opposed to Jolie’s actions, past and present.

“Paparazzi should be allowed to do their job,” he said.

BORING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! always in contradiction !

275 Amy | 06/14/2007 at 5:43 pm
“In the most hypocritical move ever, Angelina Jolie tried to censor all her interviews yesterday while promoting A Mighty Heart, her new film about freedom of the press. Jolie had her publicists ban FOX News from the red carpet of her premiere, and then had her lawyer require all journalists to sign a contract before talking to her, which basically said nobody could talk about her personal life and that “the interview may only be used to promote the Picture. In no event may Interviewer or Media Outlet be entitled to run all or any portion of the interview in connection with any other story. … The interview will not be used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning, or derogatory to Ms. Jolie.”

Hahaha! Do you honestly know what you’re saying?! The movie was about “freedom of the press”?!!?!

she’s just too smart for that.

Angelina Jolie talks about Brad, her mom, and her dad

By Ruben V. Nepales
Inquirer
Last updated 02:01am (Mla time) 06/15/2007

Carefree girl

“I blame all of you for that because I was excited,” Angelina Jolie told our press group with a laugh when a colleague of ours reminded her about the carefree girl she once was, who jumped into the pool after she won a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actress for “Girl, Interrupted” in 1999.

“I think I’m really the same person,” maintained the actress who was 23 at the time. Having just turned 32 in this recent press con at the Beverly Wilshire, she was given a bouquet of flowers.

Angelina is not quite that same girl who plunged into the Beverly Hilton’s pool in a beaded gown. Since then, Angelina has become a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and, with a passion to aid countries devastated by conflicts and diseases, adopted kids from around the world-Maddox (nicknamed Madd), 5, Zahara (Zee), 2, and her latest, Pax, 3. She has a biological daughter, Shiloh, 1, with her partner, Brad Pitt.

What has remained unchanged is that Angelina continues to be an excellent actress. The actress’ portrayal of Mariane Pearl, widow of slain journalist Daniel “Danny” Pearl, in “A Mighty Heart,” was praised by critics when the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last month.

At the Cannes press con for the movie which we attended, Angelina was a forthright interviewee as usual. But in this recent one, when it was more relaxed and we had her for slightly over an hour, she talked more openly for the first time. She did not shirk when asked about: the recent passing of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand; how Pax is doing; the rift with her father, actor John Voight; and how Brad was as her producer in “A Mighty Heart” and as her partner.

There was a catch in her voice as she mentioned Marcheline. She spoke about John in a hopeful tone. She squarely answered a question about her too-thin frame these days. For the fashionista readers, a female colleague supplied us this info: Angelina wore a vintage Moschino embroidered empire-waisted black cocktail dress and black Sergio Rossi high heels and toted a Botkier bag.

How is Brad as producer and as a partner?

I’m a very lucky woman. I have a beautiful family and Brad is a very supportive friend, man and a great father … and very romantic in his own way. But with this film, I was very nervous because I got to know Mariane and respected her so much. And then having somebody who is your partner as the producer can, in some ways, sound like a good idea but it can also make the pressure higher. I lost sleep over it. But he was very helpful.

Do you and Brad have different ideas about parenting?

We’re very similar. We back each other as parents. There is no divide like daddy’s okay with this but mommy’s not. We never want the kids to see us divided in the way we discipline. He’s just as affectionate and loving as I am. I am just as playful. They ride motorcycles and do boy things more than I do. They get dirty in the mud. But we try to make sure they know that they don’t divide mommy and daddy, that we agree, we’re together, we love each other and from there we have a family.

How does Brad help you in difficult times?

It’s funny to give all his secrets away. He’s really a great friend… If he’s sitting with me and asking how I feel, I feel like he really wants to know. He really cares. We talk very deeply about everything. When my mom passed away, he sat with me … and helped me through all the stages of handling it-what to deal with, her ashes, everything. He was just wonderful to my brother. I wasn’t thinking clearly. He spent the night asking us questions about our mom. He got us to tell funny stories about her, got us focused on all the love and the joy we were fortunate enough to have. He’s extraordinary.

How is Pax adjusting to his new family?

He’s a great kid. At first, we thought he was shy and quiet. Two days later at home, we discovered that he is the loudest member of the family. He is very athletic, very bold. We don’t know if it’s because he suddenly had (many forms of) freedom that he never had before. We still have a Vietnamese person around on occasion so he [won’t forget] his language. A Cambodian woman is coming to visit Madd. Pax and Zee have connected because they’re closer in age. Madd and Pax are brothers; there are times when they absolutely bond against everybody else in the family. They’re a tough team. Then they have moments when they bug each other-quite normal.
I’m really proud of Pax. You see certain things from somebody who has been institutionalized … habits. It’s quite obvious that he was used to a stronger discipline. It’s hard to change that-to be as strong [but] to just push him with love, by talking to him.

How are Brad’s parents with the kids? Do you sometimes leave the kids with them?

Brad’s parents are very kind to me, very warm. They’re great grandparents. It’s very important to me that the kids have that. I don’t know if I’d leave these four with anybody right now (laughter). They’re a wild bunch. When I first met [Brad’s parents], I was coming in with two adopted children from other countries. That was new for them. But they’re equally loving. We’ve left the kids with them quite a few times.

How is your relationship with your father?

I hope that, in the future, it will be more private. Unfortunately, our difficulties became very public-it was not started by me. At the end of the day, we both wish the best for each other. We will try to start communicating in some way. We have communicated through letters. We’ll see how far we can go where it’s healthy for both of us. I am sure we keep an eye on each other.
You are so thin.

Is there a lot of pressure on actresses to be thin?

The funny thing is, when somebody says, you’re thin, a person says, thank you. To me actually, when somebody says I’m thin, it is not a compliment. It’s not something I want to be. I have always been lean.

This year, I lost my mom. I’ve gone through a lot. I have four kids. I just finished breast-feeding. It’s been hard to get my nutrition back on track and learn about my body after birth. I am doing the best I can. The thing that’s disturbing is that instead of somebody saying, oh, this looks like somebody who is dealing with something from emotions-it’s, do they want to fit into skinny jeans? I don’t encourage young girls to be too thin. I do want people to understand that I am just trying to work through a very difficult year.

Angelina should’ve thought about her pjrivacy before boring us ad nauseum with the details of her sex life, ******* everything that moved in Hollywood, carrying blood vials and frenching her brother in public. Isn’t this the same woman who just recently revealed that she talks in the bath tub with Brad, that her newest son sleeps with them, and is almost naked on the cover of Esquire. This woman is such a hypocrite.

#281: sierra 1 says:

thank you, Angie! Just charm them and wow them like only you can do. Let them forget all about this little fiasco so the movie can have a wider audience and get its message across.

Just think, in a few days, you and Brad and the kids will be basking in the sun and playing in the surf without worries. I bet your destination is a well hidden resort that is papz free and conducive to the baby making business this time around (or we hope!)

Joey,I think you are twokids2.The spanish gives it away and of course your constant dislike for the jps. BTW I know you insult them on PH.

147 Joey | 06/14/2007 at 12:52 pm
Are you people crazy? You’re so obsessed with her that you can’t even see the hypocrisy of it all.

The movie is based on freedom of the press.

Joey | 06/14/2007 at 12:52 pm

que profundidad la tuya,ahahahhahahahah

The reason the view and oprah don’t like angie is because they cater to the mini-van majority and we all know who their poster girl is. They will always side with the girly girl who has a squeaky clean image and that is why women who can’t relate to angie will always take a swipe at her.

From another thread….

Kudos for Paramount vantage for taking the high road and giving notice to all that this important film should be the film. No tabloid stuff. Those who refused to agree were not doing it on principle but because they all know they wanted to ask Angelina what it’s like to kiss Brad Pitt. If that quote from the rep from Doctors without Broders is true, then he’s an idiot. The paparassi are not considered press. Only credentialed photographers with completed background checks are press. These people should be allowed to do their job. Does Reporter Without Borders mean reporters who act without boundaries including breaking into people’s homes, running people over for a story, stealing, peeping onto children’s school and schoolgrounds, then down with that organization.
Paparazzi have no business trying to take business from legit photojournalists. Do you all know what Paparazzi means in Italian? This phrase was deveeloped during the Hollywood Italian heyday with the whole la Dloce Vita era of film with director Fellini. It means annoying little buzzing bugs. How could a legit reporter consider himself like one? Amazing!

Who the hell this b*it*ch thinks she is. She needs to look inward before crying hoarse about yellow press. Isnt she the one who was sticking her toungue in her brothers mouth in GG awards and claiming i Fucked in that car when we came here publicly to the press in red carpet. Now she wants to be a saint. You reap what you sow.

She’s so phony! She’s all about controlling the press… because she has no geniune bone in her body. She’s just another self-centered and self-absorbed celebrity!!!

Sam, debbie, Watch and see:
Thank you for adding your posts to a Jolie Pitt thread. This will encourage Jared’s advertisers to pay him more and he will put up more JP threads.

After you,
what exactly Fox news, or anyone else for that matter, would side with Maniston? For
LYING AND MANIPULATING the media, or for her plastic surgeries, or FAKE
relationships and FAKE everything?!
There is NOTHING else that she does.

Maniston would be so SAD if she wouldn’t be such a JOKE. Especially compared to Angelina,
a REAL person, mom to four little ones, actress and humanitarian since the early 2001.
I’ll add this for you if you still don’t understand:
while Maniston is afraid to cross the street
by herself, Angelina is flying planes and
riding bikes.

What are you trying to say about Fox news?!

Hello to all!

Not sure if anyone added this to the argument but since as usual I am a day late and dollar short I will still add my 2 cents…

When I first heard what the press was saying…(I can’t access JJ from work “Hey Jared I am going through withdrawals!) anyway as I was saying. The first thought to run through my head was, how awkward it would be talking about your family with MP right there! This movie is HER story. The questions should really center around her life and how the book and movie came to be. I think B&A wanted to respect her enough and not answer questions that would have them gushing about their family when there sits MP with a family that has been irreparably altered.

I have a friend who lost her daughter and 2 grandchildren in an accident and I noticed in myself the need to not boast and brag around her about my children and grandchildren. It has been years and we are very good friends but there is a compassionate side to me that holds back on those things around her. It’s because I respect and care about her loss and her feelings.

Just my 2 cents.

Happy belated b-day AG! (As I said, I am always a day late and a dollar short, hence just having 2 cents to contribute)

“Hey Angelina, JustJared.com would have interviewed you!!”

No kidding! This column kisses her ass every chance they get. I’d like to see a little (or a lot) less about Brangelina. And I posted it here because it seems relevant.

Oh so after she tells the whole world countless things about her life with her children and Brad, now all of a sudden she changes her mind about that? Puhhhleassse!!! I was going to go watch this movie, but now I’m don’t care to watch it! Talk about censorship! She of all people should know what that is! And for her to ban Foxnews and its affiliates on the red carpet to cover this movie premier….how childish! Really, who does she think she is? I thought she was “miss open-minded and tolerance”…I guess that only counts if you’re a liberal. Her true colors are starting to show.

I HATE THAT PEOPLE PICK ON HER SOOOOOOO MUCH. I HATE THAT. THIS COMES FROM WOMEN WHO HATE WOMEN, WE HAVE GOT STOP THAT. ANGELINA DOES AMAZING THINGS, I ALSO DON’T BELIEVE FOR A SECOND SHE DID ANYTHING TO END BRAD’S RELATIONSHIP. ANGELINA DOESN’T LIE AND SHE CAN WITHHOLD WHATEVER SHE WANTS. I HAPPY I GET TO SEE SUCH A STRONG WOMAN IN DAY AND AGE WHERE ALL THE WOMEN TODAY ARE WHORES FOR MONEY. GOOD FOR MEN, BAD FOR LITTLE GIRLS LOOKING FOR GUIDENCE TODAY.

Just my opinion…The point that I feel everyone is missing is that Angelina has always stressed the importance to appeal to all people, regardless of politics, to help support the many causes she feels are important. I completely agree with this and love her because of it. This applies to her UN work and should also stand for this very important movie. Because of this, I think she made the wrong decision here. Regardless of how you or she feels about Fox, CNN or any other channel or paper, she must appeal to ALL to help with these important causes and to hear the important message of Marianne Pearle. Unfortunately, Angelina missed a BIG opportunity here.

Secondly, I work for a newspaper and no one in a news organization would sign this type of agreement. Magazines such as Esquire or People are not news oriented and work out those details months in advance. Perhaps she thought it would only be entertainment writers that were at the premier, but I think she also draws political and/or world events writers too. The topic of this movie and Angelina herself have captivated so many. I hope that everyone will put all of this aside and go see the movie. She is wonderful in the movie and Marianne is a super woman!

good 4 her 4 not trying to expose the fox outfit for the neo-con charlatans that they are.
news, right. like old soviet stations were news, just like that. nothing but neo-con, one-sided propaganda.

go jolie. maybe call it like it is in the middle east too.

What a laughing stock LOL
Glad to see she got put in her place!!

the principle here is that they are human beings and regardless of how they make a living they do have the right to keep certain things to themselves. they wanted the focus on the movie and not their personal lives. This was not politics. This woman is villified no matter what. when she refused to answer questions by the twit from E at the GG she was criticized by the same people who are now saying all she has to do is no comment or refuse to answer.

I know it’s been said a thousand times, If you don’t like her then don’t come to these columnns. Jared has plenty of other articles.

Freedom of the press is defined as, “the guarantee by a government of free public press for its citizens and their associations, extended to members of news gathering organizations, and their published reporting. It also extends to news gathering, and processes involved in obtaining information for public distribution”. That definition does not mean that Angelina Jolie, or anyone else for that matter, is required to grant interviews, cannot set controls on interview or has to answer a question just because a reporter has asked it. This article comes across as a juvenile temper tantrum by media advised that that they would be expected to respect boundaries. If the media representatives don’t like it, don’t cover the story. But don’t write an article misrepresenting “freedom of the press” to meet your own needs.

#262:
No, Jane, it’s you who doesn’t get it. To put it simply, telling the reporters to mind their effing business regarding her private life in now way compromises the integrity of the First Amendment.

it’s amazing how people will make such a big of a deal with anything she does… WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS ??? well, for the reporter who asked that, she’s just the reason why you’re on that event, honey… let’s not forget that, ok ??? this action was supposed to be her way of helping the movie getting the right attention but people who are obviously too dumb to understand reacted in a wrong way and called her names again… hellloooo !!! this MIGHTY BIG HEAD apparently can tick you in a heart beat huh ??? that even small stuff about her will be as huge ( or even more ) as the death of princess Di… grow up people !!! if you think she really doesn’t deserve acting that way, then stop harrasing her and her family like hungry voltures !!! leave them alone and trust me, you wouldn’t get a single requirement from her…
