Angelina Jolie: Pimp My Picture, Not My Life!

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!!

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

hey guys do you remember last week on one of the posts, the haters were saying that angie is a media ***** because she talks about her personal life and nothing about the film? well yesterday she wanted to talk more about the film, and look at the backlash?you know what **** you haters and your faux news

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.

And does anyone else find it ironic that she pulled this bullshit when her whole “cause” was REPORTERS WITHOUT BORDERS!!! LMAO!!!!
********
The operative word here is REPORTERS and from where I sit, to call the people who regurgitate lies (like Fox News, to call them reporters is an insult to good reporters everywhere.

What is ironic is that Fox, with its history of telling lies, reporting half truths, no fact checking and all around disregard for ethical standards and behavior, is in a snit over this.

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.

She’s been playing the media for years. She decides what she wants from the media and then takes it. She also plays her fans like idiots — uses them when she needs them and tosses them on their asses when she doesn’t.

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.

New thread

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.

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 love the way that the press are horrible liars when it comes to Jolie but anything negative said about Jennifer Aniston is taken as absolute gospel. Seems we can’t believe anything bad about the jolie pitts but we must believe everything bad about jennifer.

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?

Let’s all have a moment of silence for Poor Jen. May she leak and deny rumors until the botox expires from her face. Heavens forbid, poor jen does not get her time in the tabloid press or people continue to feel sorry for her.

Malibumom @ 06/14/2007 at 1:36 pm

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!

You rock! malibu mom

A freakin MEN!

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.

If anything, this non-story blown way out of proportion will intrigue people to see the movie. BP and AJ are media savvy. Instead of reporters getting a sound bite about their personal lives, attributing quotes AJ said about herself and applying it to other celebrities, the table has been turned and journalists are now the story. The issue becomes tabloid journalism versus media that is out for the truth and un-bias reporting. The sad fact is that mainstream media has crossed the line and has started printing tabloid lies and rumors as facts. I admire BP and AJ. They got my support and I will see “A Mighty Heart”.

_____________________________

bdj, I agree. This non-story will make twice as many people know about A Mighty Heart than would have known about it before. More people will go see the movie or read Mariane’s book just out curiosity if nothing else, so I guess the message still gets across. The endless fascination with Angelina just never stops, whether people like her or don’t like her.

Stupid Hags @ 06/14/2007 at 1:44 pm

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

Mariane Pearl @ 06/14/2007 at 1:44 pm

African Girl - glad someone notice the Mariane Interview.

Malibumom - you rock!

Jared - Love you and ur blog. Thanks for all the great pics.

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.
