Angelina Jolie: Pimp My Picture, Not My Life!
Angelina Jolie tried to keep things focused during Wednesday night’s NY premiere of A Mighty Heart. Media outlets were required to sign contracts before talking to Jolie (as drawn up by her Hollywood lawyer Robert Offer).
Here were the contract terms for interviewing:
- No questions regarding her personal relationships
- In the event Interviewer does ask Ms. Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships, Ms. Jolie will have the right to immediately terminate the interview and leave
- 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
- The tape of the interview will not be released to Interviewer if any of the aforementioned things happened
One reporter from a major outlet said, “I wouldn’t sign it. Who does she think she is?”
FOX News reports that USA Today, the Associated Press and other media outlets canceled their interviews with Jolie. When she heard the reaction, Jolie scrapped all print interviews.
Hey Angelina, JustJared.com would have interviewed you!!

Looks good to me.
btw That should have been I don’t think so.
Why would she be shocked by bad press? She gets it non stop and she still keeps on trucking with her head held high.
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.
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.
Don’t forget the biggest fansite on the internet. Check for latest Brad & Angelina posts:

I am a little bit confused…we have just been hearing about all of the interviews where she talks about her family and brad and her in talking in the nude..what changed all that?
******
I agree this is right on.
And the fact that she put on makeup to look like
a black/mixed race person, just takes away credibilty from Angelina.
She seems two-faced and will justify whatever makes her look good. Not a clear thinker.
****************************
You will always be miserable. Mind your business.
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.

So Angelina wanted the press to focus on the film at a film premiere and not personal life this time, and people are upset? How backwards are you people in the US?
++++++++++++++++++
We’re backwards? Then keep your ass out!
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.
Angie cannot win with some folks. When she answered personal questions threw at her at Cannes (such as, I plan to take time off), some complained that she was not promoting the movie enough, and that she needs to talk about the movie, not personal stuff.
Now, she prohibited the media from asking about personal stuff and instead focus on the movie and it’s message, people blast her for being whatever…..
Celebrity asking the media not to ask certain questions are done all the time…Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston during divorce…all the time!

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’s allowed to have a personal life. the interview was supposed to be about the movie not her. it is the hollywood tradition now to ***** out a piece your life to promote a movie, but Ms. Jolie does not have to do that. Get a life =\.
She should stop taking tips/advice from Brad. She was doing fine with her own style .

boringggggggggggggggg Dios que gente más mojigata,pero tu eres de este siglo o de la era prehistorica?
——————————-
Demasiado malo usted no se da cuenta de cómo hypocritcal los ventiladores su Angelina que ella misma es. Ciao!
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?
I think is funny that she ***** around her personal life for magazines and such lately but not there? Stfu Jolie-Pitt, go raise your 12 kids
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.
Exactly, she can talk about sex in the limo and everywhere else but don’t dare ask her any questions. Anything for attention!!!!!! And she can ruin the most expensive dress in the world with all that ink on her and that horse head. Pure trash.
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!!
#235: frenchy, the backlash is not about her not wanting her personal life out there. It is about singling out Fox in the ban and that was before the waiver thing. That was a bad move (for this instance only, so don’t throw rocks at me) because it is a conference for freedom of the press. If it was for anything but that, people would just blow it off as a usual HW diva thing. Fox has a huge viewership, more than CNN or MSNBC combined. When Angie tried to shut Fox out, the viewers felt they were being shut out and slighted. They watch movies too but they don’t follow the grapevine like we do so they don’t know about how bad the papz are especially to the JPs. They do however read the headlines on the tabs at the checkout counter cause who wouldn’t when it’s right there glaring at them.
Angie could have set them straight or at least shown them another side of her with just one interview on Fox. She could have shown them the charm and intelligence that we are all too familiar with. It would have been a good commercial strategy if she had wanted AMH to find a larger audience. Remember that filmmaking is a business too. They have to make money to make more films.
She could have handled the papz and the smut peddlers by just ignoring their questions for this one night. After all, they would be going on vacation soon.
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.
Damn, when Angie said that she would like many more obstacles at the beginning of the year, she didn’t know just how many obstacles she would have to face.

The thing is, it’s not a non story. It is a big deal for her, Brad, Marianne, the movie, the studio.
People just want to use her and she knows it now.
“….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
