Angelina Jolie - “Hello” Magazine Interview

1st!

thanx for posting the excerpts

Holy crap…I am writing a comment on the first page. HA! This is crazy.

Oh, and Jared. This story is pretty boring. I know you love Angie, but you do not have to post absolutely everything about her every ten minutes.

Thanks for the refresher, Jared.

I apologize if this has been posted before on another thread. I don’t read comments all the time, so, please have patience.

This was an interview of Sean Smith. He answered questions from readers about his Newsweek article on Angelina. The read was interesting.

____

Angelina Jolie has faced continued skepticism during her decade-long metamorphosis from Hollywood libertine to mother, activist and UN Goodwill Ambassador. But in “A Mighty Heart,” her new movie about the murder of journalist Daniel Pearl by Al Qaeda terrorists, Jolie combines her profession and her activist objectives to deliver the most delicate, powerful and human-scale performance of her career. Playing Pearl�s widow, Mariane, Jolie has taken cues from the real-life Mariane, using the movie to confront intolerance and promote global understanding.
During an hour-long Live Talk on Thursday, June 21, at 2:00 , ET, NEWSWEEK’s Sean Smith will take your questions about his interview with Jolie, her work and ‘A Mighty Heart.’ Submit questions now.

East Windsor, NJ: I understand that Jolie believes that Israel has no right to exist. Does her vision of world peace mean a world without Jews?

Sean Smith: I did not ask her about Israel, but Danny Pearl, the man she just made a movie about, was Jewish, so I find it hard to believe that her vision of world peace means a world without Jews.

Orlando, FL: Why did Jolie not adopt children from her own country, the United States, and why does she still not speak with her own father even though he’s apologized to her?

Sean Smith: I got a lot of questions about this, so I’ll answer them all here. I don’t know why she isn’t choosing to adopt American children. It’s a personal choice she’s made, clearly. I know from personal experience that poverty in other parts of the world is much, much worse than it is here, and that may be part of the reason. I know Angelina also sees herself as a global citizen. Just on a human level, it seems to me that if she’s saving three kids’ lives, does it matter what flag they were born under? That’s purely my personal take on the matter. But,as I said, I’m afraid I didn’t ask her about this.

_______________________

Birmingham AL: Jolie talked about being not being a racist, I want to know during the interview did she make any mentions of “Z” to you? I have followed Jolie for many years but I have yet to read her mentioning “Z” and have seen one maybe two pictures of her with “Z”? I do not believe she is a racist, but one has to wonder if “Z” adoption was for publicity.

Sean Smith: She talked about “Z” a lot, actually. I had a whole section in the story about the kids that had to be cut for space reasons, and I only saw her with Maddox (Z was taking a nap), so that’s why Z’s not more prominent in the story. She says Z is really strong willed and funny and screams whenever Brad dances until he stops. And no, I don’t think she did it for publicity. She doesn’t need anymore, frankly.

New York, NY: As a development academic and mother of 2 children - with family members working for the UNHCR - in, yes, that’s right, Darfur - I think the tone of the article is absurd. It is uncritical, fawning and deeply disturbing. The mythologizing tone you take when you say, for example, “her eyes never leave his face” (when taking about her seeing her son at the end of the day) is ridiculous. What about where was she all day while he was doing these new things? Why he was in a room alone? Indeed, the vast majority of mothers do look at their children when they speak….in fact, one wonders, Mr. Smith if in regular conversations your eyes wander aimlessly? It is certainly a Good thing that she is engaged and interested in the world around her, but there are 6 billion individuals on this planet and a great many of them have dedicated their lives to the development and aid of those less fortunate. Certainly I have no doubt she is relatively well versed in the subject of Int dev/aid - but so are the thousands of specialists at universities, think tanks and in the field doggedly working on. To promote her to a seat at the Council for Foreign Affairs (as well as Davos) is disturbing at best and, at worst, a sign of things to come as we enter a Big-Brother Reality-led Simulacrum of Art representing Art representing Life. I think she is doing good with her life, and is clearly a role model for the young Hollywood set. But, and its an important But, to promote her as an Icon of the 21st century for the greater world at large, is most likely the illusion of Newsweek, which seems to be less unlike US Weekly than it would suppose.

My question for Mr. Smith is when did rigorous journalistic inquiry and critical thought (not to be confused with mindless criticism) become the order of the day at Newsweek? One wonders that if Ms. Jolie was less beautiful, would her deeds carry as much weight with the media. As her overall experience, while good, is certainly nowhere near enough to garner her the accolades she has received if she were to be held up against many of those actually working in world development (rather than, as has been the case thus far, as a modern day saint in Comparison to those simply Watching world development take place and not involved).

Still, in an article where Brad Pitt (who was in his late 30’s before he even managed to make it over to Africa) says that Jolie and Pearl are like “Churchill and Roosevelt” (?) - one can only wonder at how little else he is aware of. In such a context Mr. Smith, you did little to offer the reader with anything even approaching international-level journalism.

Sean Smith: I’m sorry that you think I was fawning. I addressed the criticism against her, I thought, in the story. Yours is the angriest question I’ve received, but there are others, so I’ll address them all here. I am not Angelina’s friend, or publicist. I will likely never speak to her again. I have no stake, one way or the other, in how she is perceived, nor do I have any concern with whether she likes the story or not. (And, by the way, I don’t know.) My job is to research her, spend time with her, think about her, talk to other people who know her, and tell you what I’ve learned. If she was a b*tch, or narcissistic, or cruel or stupid, I would have told you. Why wouldn’t I? What you read in this story is my experience with her. I believe her to be involved and sincere. She’s been doing it for six years, so it’s clearly not a lark. As for your question about whether she would get this much attention if she weren’t beautiful, I think you’re absolutely right that she wouldn’t. Look at all the attention you’ve paid her, and you don’t even like her. One more thing, Brad Pitt was being really light-hearted when he compared Angelina and Mariane Pearl to Roosevelt and Churchill. I thought the context of his quote made that clear, but I may have not shown that well. He was kind of kidding, and being cute. Clearly, they’re not Roosevelt and Churchill. Even to him.

Austin, TX: How well has Pax picked up English since he was adopted. Has it been difficult to communicate with him?

Sean Smith: When I was with her in November, she hadn’t adopted Pax yet, so I don’t know, I’m afraid.

_______________________

South Houston, TX: Did she go to college?

Sean Smith: No,she didn’t.

_______________________

Memphis, TN: I know people will think I am just being a ‘feminist’ here but something I have noticed with Oprah, Madonna, Hillary Clinton and now Angelina Jolie. Although very different, they are all extremely powerful, influential and EXTREMELY divisive. People either love, love, love them or hate them. Do you think that the U.S. still has a problem with this type of intense power being in the hands of women?

Sean Smith: This is a great question, and I think you’ve really hit on something. And oddly, I think it’s primarily women who have this problem with powerful women. I don’t know why. Truly. I remember being really struck by people’s anger that Oprah built a schoool for girls in Africa instead of doing it here. The irony is, all of these women could just sit in their palaces and be completely isolated by their wealth, and the choose to go out into the world and try and do something positive. As soon as they do, they get attacked. It’s strange to me. I’m not saying Angelina, or any of these women, is a saint, but what harm are they doing, to anyone? It’s not like they started a war under false pretenses or even used government funds for something. I’m afraid I don’t have an answer here, but the question does fascinate me. I should probably do an entire story on this topic.

_______________________

Los Angeles, CA: I’m a 30-year-old Asian American who immigrated here at age 1 with my family. I am also an activist who has been working with low income communities of color here in the US, making $11-13/hour, working 2 jobs at a time at non-profit organizations for the past 8 years. I am currently working with foster youth and poor “orphans” here in California. I know people are always criticizing Angelina since she’s in the public eye. Well I’m in that group. I used to really admire herbecause I thought she was different than other celebrities who were so full of themselves. But I’m starting to feel really irritated by headlines that say that she and Brad and other Hollywood-ers are going to save the world. I get frustrated because there are so many activists here who have dedicated their entire lives to creating change in their communities, the unsung heroes who don’t get 1/1000 of the headlines you guys do. She adopts a few kids and makes a movie in blackface and I’m supposed to believe she is going to eradicate poverty? Please! It doesn’t even seem she is aware of how much privilege her and Brad have as white movie stars, and to me it just sounds like she is collecting babies around the world like they are dolls or something. I’m so sick of hearing about her and her kids. Either just be a movie star, and stop talking about saving the world and collecting babies of color; or help give a voice to all of the activism OTHER PEOPLE are doing also–she has the power, use it wisely. Don’t be a megalomaniac.

Sean Smith: Your frustration here is not with Angelina, but with the media. She does, in fact, go lots of places without cameras, and works with refugees with no one looking at all. I had a section on that in the story that didn’t make it into the final version, becasue of space restrictions. It would be a wonderful world if people who do good work — non-famous, non-beautfiul ones — were rewarded and covered as much as stars are. She is aware of her privilege, by the way. How could she not be? You know, she really could just stay at home in her mansion in LA. and go to parties and things, and adopt no one. Would things really be better if she did?

_______________________

Kennebunk, MN:

What did Jon Voigt do to Angelina throughout her life that pushed her to the extreme of disowning him?

Sean Smith: He was a semi-absentee father most of her life. They reconciled during the making of the Tomb Raider sequel. When she adopted Maddox, he went on television and questioned her mental health. She said at the time that she didn’t think it was healthy to have Voight in her life.

_______________________

Eagan, MN: Does Angelina Jolie feel remorse at all for her actions and choices she has made regarding Jennifer Aniston? When Brad and Jennifer were married they had planned on Jennifer playing the role. It seems like Jolie just keeps pushing the dagger deeper and deeper into Aniston’s heart and soul.

To do what she (Jolie) has done to another will return sometime to herself. How does she live daily with herself and all of the extreme exposure while hurting Jennifer?

Sean Smith: I got a lot of questions on this topic about this, too. I don’t know why Pitt and Aniston broke up. Frankly, I can’t tell you why MY last relationship ended. The only two people who really know what happened in relationship are the two people in it. Neither Jennifer, Brad or Angelina has ever said that Angelina “stole” him. She may have. She may not. I don’t know. But neither does anyone else, and I’m perplexed by this need for us, as the American public, to cast something as complicated as a romantic relationship into a simple soap-opera narrative, with a good girl and a bad girl. I do know this in general: when a relationship is happy and healthy, neither partner can be stolen by anyone.

_______________________

South Pasadena, CA: I am so tired of people doubting this woman who is so obviously a woman of great heart and integrity. She also seems to be very well-read and intelligent. Did you get that from her? I mean, holding your own with the likes of Bill Clinton, Diane Sawyer etc…I wouldn’t think you could fake that. Did you feel as Marianne Pearl does in terms of learning things from her, that she is definitely a woman with things to say?

Sean Smith: Yes, I did feel she was intelligent and informed on the issues. I agree that a lot of people are skeptical/cyncial about it. As I mentioned in an earlier reply to someone, if I felt she was false or dumb or self-aggrandizing, I would have reported that. In the time I spent with her, I found her to be calm, sincere, focused and educated on the issues that matter to her. I’m not saying she’s a genius, just that she’s not flitting about the world blindly. And yes, I do think she is shaping a complex and humane worldview for herself. I’ll be interested to see who she becomes in the next decade.

_______________________

Warwick, NY: Does Angelina TRULY want to save the world or just look good for the media??? Personally I think she just wants to appear to be wholesome in the public eye.

Sean Smith: This is too cyncial, even for me. And it’s my job to be. She’s been doing this for six years. If it’s a lark just to get publicity, there are about 1 million easier ways to do that. Also, that headline is something one of my editors put on the story. I don’t think she’s trying to save the world, and she’s never said so. I think she’s just trying to be of use, and make some positive change. We really should not have put that headline on this story. It’s inaccurate.

_______________________

LUDHIANA (PANJAB): Angelina could do a lot of good if she chose better roles, if she is going to act anyway. So why doesn’t she do more work like “A Mighty Heart,” and less like “Laura Croft: Tomb Raider”?

Sean Smith: I agree. I hope “Heart” is the beginning of a trend.

_______________________

Budapest, Hungary: Isn’t it a bit cliche that the most beautiful woman in the world is with the most beautiful man, it seems a little contrived. When speaking with Angelina was there ever, even for a second, a sense that she was coordinating this image of herself?

Sean Smith: No. And if I had sensed that, I would have printed it. She seems very relaxed and comfortable in her own skin. I did not feel at all that she was putting on some sort of act. As for the most beautiful man being with the most beautiful woman, that doesn’t seem contrived to me. That seems logical. Being with Billy Bob Thornton seemed stranger to me.

_______________________

Oceanside CA: Is Angelina Jolie married at the present time to Brad Pitt?

Sean Smith: No, they’re not married.

_______________________

Waukegan,IL.: Did the Muslim extremists know that Daniel Pearl was Jewish before they killed him? Or did his race come out after they had already done the deed?

Sean Smith: Yes, they did know Daniel Pearl was Jewish before they killed him. They made him say, on videotape,before they beheaded him, “My mother is Jewish, my father is Jewish, I am Jewish.”

_______________________

Plano, TX: Celebrities pushing charities is fashionable again. We went through this in the 80’s with “We Are The World” and Live Aid. Most people involved in those projects have not publicly continued their support of charities in any large way since (except for Bono, Bob Geldof and a few others). What are the odds Angelina will continue this altruistic behavior, espcially since it seems to have started while she was involved with a married man and can be spun as good PR? I will respect her if she is still involved in these charities 15 years from now. She’s no Bono or Audrey Hepburn, yet.

Sean Smith: She started her refugee work four years before she met Brad, so it’s not accurate that she did this to bolster her image. As for whether she’ll contiune, I suspect she will. She seems very sincere about it, and interested in the world. We’ll see.

_______________________

Lisbon: I know that she donates one-third of her income to charitable causes, that she has traveled to some 20 countries over the years as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees… but still people only seem to remember and talk about her past… How do you think Agelina feels about that?

Sean Smith: I suspect it bothers her — it would have to — but she also knows that it’s the way the world works. It’s funny, people complain about the media trivializing things, but almost all the questions I got on this live talk were all about whether she stole Brad from Jennifer and why she doesn’t do more in America. It seems to me that she — all of us –are global citizens, not just Americans, and if life is better in the worst parts of the world, it is better for us here, too. That just makes sense to me. Thank you all for your questions. This has been an educational experience for me. To say the least.
Sincerely,
Sean Smith

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A poster probably found this earlier. Or, this is another magazine cobble job.

THANK YOU JARED.I LOVE ANGELINA AND BRAD AND CHILDREN.THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP JARED.

Indie, it was Marie Claire that I read some of that info from also, I think.

It talked about Brad during her mother’s passing, the parenting styles, being proud of pax and their was mention how Maddox pulled Pax around in a wagon at recess or something.

this magazine…is weird…cuz i ve read all that some where else…thats not a real magazine article, maybe they just borrowed it .

This is one of the many things I love about this woman.So true to her skin, no pretentious brouhaha just to keep the rating. The more you know her, the more you love her.

We are going to see AMH today. Love Angie.

a mighty heart is great!!!!

12 oh boy!!! | 06/22/2007 at 11:14 am

for those who are fans, we like to hear about her. if you are sick of her, don’t look or read anything about her. that’s how you escape. get it. also, people who write gossips are not sick of her because Angie helps them sale more magazines. so, i suggest you stay away from all the entertainment gossips magazine that have Angie/Brad in.

Thanks for posting the interview with Sean Smith, I hadn’t seen that. Actually he answers a lot of the questions the trolls bring up all the time–guess they can’t read, just want to spew their hate.

GREAT INTERVIEW

Yeah, I thought it was an interesting read, too. I thought it was strange and funny that even Sean was criticized, but I thought he held his own. His responses were impressive.

nO WEIGHT staff here, the interview says it all!!!!!!!!

Nice one JJ

BRANGELINA ROCKS!!!!!!!!

I am going to see AMH in a couple of hours from now.

Thanks for posting the excerpts, Jared. Hello must have gotten these quotes from another magazine or from a press interview attended by many.

After her comments, I am thinking they will have a bio child next. Though that may be another year away. It does seem like Pax is getting settled into the family quickly .

Thank you Jared!

i’m off enjoy the movie Melissa

I’m to going leave now to see AMH.

21 suspicious package | 06/22/2007 at 11:21 am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Assuming that this is really ’suspicious package’, we have been here before. This cr*p came up around the time of the GGs. I said it before and I’ll say it again… it’s probably Pam Anderson. She’s works for PETA; her career was built on her looks and yet, lately, there have been rumblings. For example, that shot of her on the beach with her kids. The press went to town on her about her face, as if wearing layers of pancake make-up and false eyelashes is required on a beach. :roll: And remember how the press booed her when she was at Cannes for not staying long to take pictures? As I recall, she was wearing heels, really tiny white shorts and a black long-sleeved top. And there was that ugliness about her wearing Ugs, which contained animal skins in them. And didn’t she get a gig at a Vegas show and for DirectTV(?)?

As for the hunky boyfriend part… I don’t know. I know that she’s been seen with Tommy Lee and I doubt that she was on her own when she was partying at Cannes.

The haters can think whatever they want, but the fact is that I doubt that Brad would leave any of the children in her care if she was using. And it’s doubtful that he would allow her to travel to Vietnam and Cambodia with the kids if he wasn’t there. And you would think that if he had little faith in her ability to keep it together, he would have intervened when she appeared at the Cannes press conference, on TDS, Larry King, Charlie Rose, msn, etc.

Whereas, with Pam… we don’t see her out much, except in a party context or on a beach.

I love Brangie!

Great questions and answers session by the writer at Newsweek. It is amazing how some people hatred and criticism boils down to AJ’s beauty. She is doing good in her life and like others, she will have her share of critics. However, that has not stopped her from living her life and doing what fulfills her. It is mind blowing how so many people are stuck in a soap opera mentality, with the handsome guy, the wicked girl and the good girl. However, life and love is never that simple. Thanks for the interview Just Jared. It was a good read. Peace to all

here how g8 it is. excuse me, hear how gr8 it is.

12 Neela | 06/22/2007 at 11:13 am
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I absolutely love Sean Smith and he has the same WTF I get when people say things or ask questions about Angie. Example: This movie about 2 peoples lives that all of the world saw play out in the most horrible way and how the survivors (MP and her son) overcame is such a positive way. It is an important story and all some can wish for is for it to fail at the box office or wish for bad reviews. I guess all in an effort to hurt AJ they think, but this is about so much more than her and the fact that some people can’t see that leaves me with the same WTF as Sean Smith.

I just want to scream to her to shut up. I hope her movie fails like Oceans 13 at the box office.

What I like about that session was the fact that it addresses women’s disdain for other women, especially those in power. It is something worth delving into, and I hope he [i]does[/i] research and write an article on this.

RE: Ted C.

ugly gay man scorned.

actually it would make a nice gory movie title.. LOL.

mgm….you are such a mean person…how can you say something like that to a person…i know that you can say this when no can see you but you cant say it to a person;s face.even if someone is ugly we do not say that to them or behind their backs we make no comments or we at least look at the good parts of the person.we look at inner beauty and thats important and again no one is ugly not even a child ,no one everyone has something beautful about them ad its special the world would be boring if everyone looked pretty and perfect because than we wouldnt look at the bad parts of the world

GOD she is ouuuffffffffffffffffffffffffff!go angelina we love u too !!!

How can anyone say that Zahara is soooo cute !!
People saying that are beeing hypocrites. I know that you will give me the line that “no child is ugly” - but I have to admit that Zahara is not only not cute at all but that she is really ugly. When she smiles she’s even worst that when she pouts. She looks like a monkey, walks like an ape and is dressed dreadful. Can’t Angelina dress her like a nice little girl and give this ugly looking kid some dignity ? I’m sure that Brad’s mother would be terrified to see Shiloh dressed like that. Shiloh is a princess next to these kids. That is why they never take her out with them at the same time
……………………………………………………………………………………Now this is a hater.

i can’t believe somebody would say that about a cute baby like Z. WTF is wrong with her to diss a little child….racist *****.

65 cutie
——-

Hope I don’t offend you. I don’t think MGM was the one actually saying that. I think he/she was posting a comment by another person from another thread. MGM seems to be pointing out the rudeness of that comment, especially a derivative one towards a child.

right sorry..well whoever said it they dont have the heart to love a person no matter how thy look

mgm…that list was to ignore the haterz not offend the jolie pitts…

Re: Ted Casablanca–he seems to have it in for Angie, but I don’t believe the nickname he made up for this vice is the one he generally uses for her.
Also, I don’t think a lot of people would be shocked, just shocked if it was Angie given our girl’s wild child past.
So, I think it has to be someone that people love or hate, but would be SHOCKED–like Nicole Kidman (and I do love her) or Katie Holmes or Sarah Jessica Parker.

I’ve read this same Q&A in a different mag not to long ago.

to neela:

yeah thats excatly what i meant..and your right. angie lost her mom, and we all know how much her mother meant to her so to us its really easy to forget the loss but she carries the death of her mom everyday , she probably got over it a little bit kind of like accepting the fact but shes still stressed out and doesnt eat as much cuz of her feelings right now and no one really knows if she eats anormally or not.rmember she said she finished breast feeding..thats another thing

64 Lucky , Does that mean only obese person are happy ?
I’m sure you are from non-english speaking country. Same with me, english is not my first language, but from this interview, I definitely understood Angie was all praise on her “in-law” and show so much love on Pax.

I dont know what to think about that blind item, but I do know it isnt Angie. As lainey pointed out once, Angie has regular drug tests for her UN work.

Also, Ted said this person had a fairly good reputation in the gossip rags until recently. Angie has gotten lots of negative press, unfairly I believe, for years.
And since when has Angie dabbled in fine shoes? She is not a clothes horse.

Plus, Ted said he thought Angie was looking beautiful at Cannes. At least her face.

I do think he wrote it in a way that some would think it was Angie, but too many things don’t add up for it being her.

What a world we live in when people try to bring down those who are trying to do good in this world.

haha what the hell are you saying

70 Cat | 06/22/2007 at 12:13 pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And the way she described her work on Wanted, specifically, her having to learn to use ‘Heelys’… I’m sorry, but wouldn’t we have heard or seen any injuries due to an ‘accident’?

And for people to start offering her shoes as an example… come on, now. Weren’t the haters just complaining that she wore the same open-toed shoes all the time? Hardly fashion-forward, according to them.

And let’s not forget… Ted C., like most gossip mongers, don’t go outside of their zones. And since Angelina has been in NOLA, Prague, and Cannes for the vast majority of the year, how would Ted C. know anything? Like US, his ‘exclusives’ come from paperwork filed in local, state, and federal agencies.

It’s annoying that people only focus on how she stole brad from jen. Brad Pitt silence has been the worse PR for angelina in her life.

81 cutie
——-

That’s right. She just did finish breast feeding. There’s that, too. It is unfortunate that she is lambasted more than Brad. I love Brad, but I wish the media and the public would give Angelina a reprieve as much as Brad does. I think it all goes back to Angelina being a woman of power. Too bad.

Thanks Jared!

Brad doesn’t deserve her.

Brad’s silence is the worst thing in the world.

She doesn’t love Shi as much as her adopted kids because she might be jealous of Shi. Angelina has never had a father figure as Brad to Shiloh in her life. She did all these crazy things just to get the attention of her father who has been ignoring her, who has not giving love, care, attention Angelina which she has been needing.

She loves to love her adopted kids because she wants to be different.

Hey guys lets not focus on Ted C. and the negative. We have a great Q&A from Sean Smith with an unbias opinion. He is just telling it like he sees it an is as taken aback by certain things as we are. Lets talk about that or the movie coming out or the wonder Princess Z. Don’t let this be another post hijacked by the haters or negativity.

82 Neela | 06/22/2007 at 12:24 pm
I heard somewhere that for Angelina’s job as goodwill ambassador she has to be screened for drugs. So, if Ted C.’s finger was pointing to her, then, that sounds fishy. I don’t think Angelina would be allowed to maintain her position if she has not passed the drug tests.

Also, I agree with the posts that Ted C. intends to make the subject of his blind items confusing. I think if he makes it sounds like Angelina then, people are more apt to pay attention to his columns.

———
ITA. and for godshake, she just adopted Pax, do you think she will be given the permit for adoption ,if she’s on drug. ?

..no more tattoos and no more children. You are

beautiful already , and you have plenty of

children to take care.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. START PUTTING YOURSELF

FIRST. PLEASE!

Ok, this is slightly OT but I was just thinking about little Z and how she is pointing and smiling at the paps lately. I remember Angie saying recently that she tells the kids that they are crazy people(and they sure act that way sometimes) I wonder if they have made it a game with Z, like, who can be the first to spot the crazy people! And Z just looks lately so happy when she is pointing them out. Anyway.. just something that popped in my head.

Z is such a doll.

no angie never stole brad from jen..thats childesh….stealing wtf!!!lol :) it take two people to be secure in a relation ship , if one person is not happy in a relation , then they do something about it which what brad did.

ZAHARA IS GORGEOUUUUUUS !!!!!

Hey, guys. As much as I’d like to take credit for that post, I just found it on the souliejolie forums. It was posted by Jennifer3333 (I hope she doesn’t mind me putting up her s/n). Anyway, there’s a ton of good read there if any are interested. Heh, don’t mean to be pimping the site.

Thanks all the bunch though.

After reading the newsweek feedback I HATE BRAD PITT AND HIS PR PEOPLE MORE THAN EVER

Brad Speaks:Known facts bout Jennifer Aniston:

when she passes by the bathroom, the toilet flushes.
- when she was born, the hospital put her in an incubator with tinted windows.
- when she looks into the mirror, the reflection ducks.
- when she was born, the doctor slapped the wrong end.
- she fell out of the ugly tree at a young age, and hit every branch on the way down!

I have got one thing to say about Brad Pitt.

The next movie he is promoting, he had better

start talking about how great Angie is and how

she made his life so wonderful.

He needs to say that, and we want to hear that.

Yes yes yes, he shows it through his actions,

but we also want to hear it from his lips.

It is not right that she is the only one

gushing about him all the time and he stays

silent!

Like many people have to work to keep weight off so they can look fit, I have to work to keep weight ON. That’s why it really bothers me when people hate on Angie because of her weight; in some people, it’s not a choice.

Somebody explains to me what does angelina mean with:
“brad is just as affectionate and loving as i’m,and i’m just as playful!

Thanks for that Q & A. How the reporter kept his compossure under such idiotic questions, I’ll never know. American journalism isn’t dead after all.

Is there anyway we can get the excerpts that were not included in the final Newsweek piece? It would be great if we were able to.
should we contact newsweek?

I do dragonfly. I am obviously an Angie fan and I just hate all the negativity that has been left at Angie’s feet. Nobody ever questions brad charity work and he really didn’t get involved until 2004(acording to vanity fair africa issue) which just happens to be the year he met Angie. she had already been doing her thing for 3-4 years before that.

**************************************

Ok, I actually do think you have a point that Brad has not been publicly involved in humanitarian causes as long as Angie, yet she is the one who gets targeted for being insincere about it. Well, I think it’s because the American public doesn’t know what to do with a supposed “bad girl turned good” like Angie (nevermind that most of their perceptions of her are based on outright lies). Americans love to label people, and Angie is going off script, and people want to attack her for that. People aren’t supposed to (gasp!) up and change once you have labeled them! haha!! Like Cliniqua said earlier, Angie scares people. She scares them because she makes them have to think outside their comfy little box. They want to label her, yet she defies any label they try and put on her….even all the s**t that is hurled at her on this site fails to stick.

As for Brad, he’s coming from that “Golden” (gag!) (they forget the whacked-out roles he has played) place, and also, IMO, he doesn’t get questioned or scruntinized as much because he is a man. Sad, but true. Women’s intentions are always questioned more than a man’s.

As for your earlier query about why she stays with him and why he hasn’t cleared her name in the press, well, I do think she truly loves him. The way she looks at and speaks of him says it all. I think early in their relationship, possibly she did try to test him, to see if he truly was strong enough to be her man. I think adopting Z might have been part of that…she wanted to see if he had the mettle to stick around through everything that sick little baby needed…because Angie was determined to do it, with or without him, I am convinced. So, when he did indeed rise to the occasion, she then opened herself up to him more. He showed her he was more than a pretty face, and I think he has continued to so ever since. She has herself said that he brings so much to her life, that he has been there for her through all kinds of life events, that he helps make her life richer. She would not stay with him or allow herself to fall this deeply if there was no substance to him.

I do also think she changed him. It’s obvious she did. Angie opened his eyes to the world beyond Hollywood. Her influence is apparent, but I do not think he up and just started being aware of the world just because he met her. My opinion is that possibly he did want to do more before, but he was too busy spending all his energy holding his mess of an ex-wife together for several years. She just left him too drained to be motivated, IMO. Angie is not a drain on his energy, she gives him more, hence what you see now.

In the end, you are just going to have to trust what she says. She loves him and she is happy. We don’t live with them, and we don’t know even a fraction of what their life in their home is like. Look at the faces of their children…they appear to live in a very happy home. If there was tension it would show. I listen to their friends, like Matt Damon, who can give us little glimpses of insight. He says they just tune all that stuff out and live their lives. Angie has never cared about the tabloid press, and who knows, maybe there *have* been times Brad DID want to speak out against this story or that story, and possibly Angie was the one who told him not to….we don’t know. I do think they both believe that addressing it only gives it validation and power.

I assume you are upset about this latest Jane Pitt thing and Doug’s statement to People…well, I believe Jane Pitt was set up by X, and that Doug’s statement was a way of just neutralizing it. Calling X a “friend” was rather funny and sorta insulting, anyway…so kudos to Doug. Whether or not that was the right thing to do, I do not know, but I think it is Angie who wants her work and her family to speak for itself. She’s not going to waste her time with it, whether Brad or anybody else might want her to. Like Brad said, “Angie doesnt have a boss.” I think she truly is WHERE she wants to be and does WHAT she wants to do WITH who she wants to do it.

And right now, and possibly for a very long time in the future, that person is Brad Pitt.

Just have a little faith in Angie’s choices. I think it’s gonna be ok, really.

Somebody explains to me what does angelina mean with:
“brad is just as affectionate and loving as i’m,and i’m just as playful!

She is talking about how they interact with their children. Stereotypically, a mother is known to be affectionate and loving and a dad as more playful, but she is saying they parent the same way.
They are both affectionate, loving, and playful.

I don’t think it’s fair to put the blame on Brad. I just don’t think he wants to contribute to the media frenzy because even if he says something, then, his words would be misconstrued (intentionally). I don’t think he can be blamed for not having a candid personality. I would love for him to be verbally expressive, but if he’s not that kind of guy, then, it’s okay.

With Angelina, if she expresses her thoughts, she’s lashed at, but if she remains quiet, she’s still taking a beating. She really can’t win. I think people are just really hindered by the past. And I really do think it’s because she is a woman who doesn’t fit into the mold of the ideal American girl-next-door type. I treasure her honesty because it means she’s comfortable with her skin. Sadly, people will always read into what she says and will find or twist it into the most negative thing.

Remember in his GQ article how MUCH AND LOUD he defend his jen from the press and tabloids?

WHERE THE **** IS HIS DEFENSE FOR ANGIE???????????????????

*****************************************
I totally forgot about that one, he did defend jen in that interview.

I guess he doesn’t think angie deserves his support.

I am telling you I did not used to care much for Angelina, but I am really getting pissed off because of the attacks she is under.
I say go to hell everybody and let this woman just live her life.
I am pissed off with Brad Pitt also. I don’t think he deserves her.
That’s all.

#20: they are doing the hit piece probably because the lawsuit against E! is still ongoing. They are getting back at Brad through her even though it’s their fault for trespassing in somebody’s private property.

Remember in his GQ article how MUCH AND LOUD he defend his jen from the press and tabloids?

WHERE THE **** IS HIS DEFENSE FOR ANGIE???????????????????
+++++++++++++++++++++++
He is cool with angelina being trashed as long as he keeps getting the good PR. He’s the dad of the year remember? he’s a smart guy.

He will never defend jolie on record, keep waiting.

wtf

sonny | 06/22/2007 at 12:43 pm
Talk Brad like you talked about your love to Jennifer.

Why can’t you talk now about the mother of your daugther? Something wrong???????

Don’t gimme actions talks louder than words shi*. Why can’t Angelina shut up then?????

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Because he wants angelina to be destroyed. He keeps his silence for a reason! he doesn’t love angelina
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
what is sure is that brad have met a lot of single women with kids but he has chosen angelina why?cuz he has fallen in love with her!i dont like being a silly person by giving arguments but its just to clarify…

Past:

“Jen keeps people together”
“Jen doesn’t have a mean bone in her body”

“rumors not true, BS”
“make me the bad guy”

TODAY:

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

brad doesnt get paid to talk about angelina lol he doesnt have to thats between him and aj

Brad is a wonderful man, he makes Angie happy.

They have a happy, loving home. Why are people letting a blind item, that was out months ago originally, and that is soo not Angie for a lot of reasons, get to them? Now we have Brad being blamed for not defending his woman. crazy! I think these are just haters and not even Angie fans.

A Mighty Angelina!

Critical to the emotional connections “A Mighty Heart” makes is the performance of Jolie as Mariane Pearl. The Oscar-winning actress, whose significant skills have been eclipsed by her position as a tabloid favorite, puts the emphasis back where it belongs with a forceful, immediate and convincing performance. Though a series of big close-ups often places her front and center, Jolie resists the temptation to push too hard or overplay her part. Rather she uses her charisma and skill to express not only weariness and fear but also the hard-edged fierceness and lack of patience that are crucial to seeing Mariane as a real person, not a biopic saint. – Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
***
But the film belongs to Jolie. She won an Oscar for 1999’s Girl, Interrupted, but this is by far her best performance, strong and true in every detail from Mariane’s accent (her roots are Dutch and Afro-Cuban) to the strength she shows under fire. Her total immersion in the role keeps the film from getting lost in the rush of details. Even after Daniel’s death and subsequent beheading, Mariane holds Daniel’s spirit close. Jolie sees to it that the humane and haunting A Mighty Heart honors that spirit. – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
***
Angelina Jolie gives a brittle and beautifully contained performance as Mariane Pearl… Jolie’s intelligently tucked-in performance as Mariane avoids grandstanding, receding instead into the intricate tapestry of Michael Winterbottom’s tense and authentically relayed film. – Jan Stuart, Newsday
***
…her skin somehow polished to reflect Mariane’s Afro-Cuban/Dutch complexion, her wig a masterpiece of a casually corkscrewed updo, her accent the work of a good student — it’s impossible not to be conscious of her performance at every turn. Her intensity, combined with the aura of her celebrity, becomes the story. — Lisa Schwarzbaum,
Entertainment Weekly
***
Angelina Jolie gives one of the most commanding and moving performances of her career. — Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
***
Jolie delivers a focused and unfussy performance, doing an honorable job imitating Mariane’s inimitable Cuban-French accent. Disappearing under the curly coif resembling that of Cher circa Moonstruck, Jolie suppresses her essential Angelina-ness, completing her transition from the screen’s sultry siren to its Earth Mother…Winterbottom permits Jolie one emotional scene; and she makes the most of it, keening Mariane’s almost-unbearable lament for her lost husband. — Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
***
Angelina Jolie, who plays Mariane in director Michael Winterbottom’s lean and swift account, unleashes her anguish upon learning the news of Danny Pearl’s beheading, the impact is torrential…when Jolie cracks open this key moment, it’s really something…As it stands, then, “A Mighty Heart” leads inexorably to Jolie’s magnificent scream, which is more–deeper–than a mere Oscar-baiting moment. The film is most vivid and immediate when Jolie, her character’s patience and facade cracking, accesses a full tangle of impulses at once. She is a uniquely intense screen presence. — Michael Phillips
Chicago Tribune

***

Angelina Jolie gives a fierce and astute performance as Mariane Pearl…Ms. Jolie mixes tenderness with implacable toughness…Given Angelina Jolie’s celebrity, the obvious danger in such a take-no-prisoners style of acting was imposing herself on the real-life story, but that hasn’t happened. To the contrary, the actress enters the character and stays there, even during her feral cries in the film’s most harrowing scene. — Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

***

Many of you will wonder how Jolie could portray a woman she has very little physical resemblance to, however, you wouldn’t know it was her if not for the trademark Jolie lips. She fills Mariane with an amazing, wonderful mix of power and hope tempered by reality and preparation for the worst. Additionally, Jolie delivers what I consider to be one of the most horrific, gut wrenching, heartbreaking scenes I have ever witnessed on a movie screen just after the film’s climax. It’s one of those scenes you won’t ever forget, makes you squirm in your seat with discomfort, and you can still hear her just thinking about it weeks later.

***

“A Mighty Heart” finds actress Angelina Jolie almost completely disappearing into the role of Mariane Pearl, the wife of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl.
In fact, if not for her characteristic, bee-stung lips, you might forget you’re watching one of the world’s most famous, glamorous stars. Jolie sports a convincing French accent…

***

Angelina Jolie’s transformative performance as Mariane Pearl, the reporter from whose book the film is adapted, is only the beginning of the movie’s many accolades.

***

The actress has to be praised (along with significant other Brad Pitt) for championing this project, and she’s actually very good as Mariane, fashioning a woman who’s strong and sharp-tongued as well as deeply concerned and fearful (no milquetoast wife at all)—a performance that proves she’s a real actress, not just a star.

***
There’s nothing insensitive or overdone in the mild make-up artistry of the part; the inner performance is what shines out. Jolie’s Pearl may feel fear, but never hate — and her public face of grace and calm is one part humanism, one part strategy… Jolie’s Mariane Pearl isn’t some plaster secular saint, either; when the inevitable end to the story comes crashing down, her howling, devastated grief ripples off the screen with brute force and power.

***

Worth commending despite the deficiencies of the script is Angelina Jolie, a powerhouse as Mariane Pearl. It takes all of about five minutes for Jolie to disappear into her role; once the baggage that goes along with this iconographic celebrity goes away, the viewer becomes mesmerized by the way she so completely embodies the real-life character she is playing. Jolie blesses Mariane with forthright drive, intelligence, fairness, and a whole lot of raw emotions, and the centerpiece scene—her reaction to discovering Daniel has been confirmed dead—is acted out in such an exposing and honest way that it sends chills over the viewer.

***

One ultimately can’t help but sympathize with the woman; Jolie’s stunning, absolutely convincing performance certainly cements this feeling, and it’s very likely that this marks the apex of her career.

***

With her belly protruding and her hair piled high, Jolie completely absorbs herself in the role.

***

As usual, Jolie turns in a rousing performance, but the better she is, the harder it is to watch. Mariane’s wails of despair when she learns of her husband’s fate are almost too painful to endure.

***
Jolie is such an expressive actress that there’s always a danger she’ll overplay the part, but one major misstep aside, she slips into Winterbottom’s wide-ranging procedural and asserts herself only when dramatically necessary. She simply exercises Mariane’s persistent will, and honors her in the process.

***
Angelina Jolie — who is an actress, too, remember? — gives what is probably the best performance of her career as Mariane Pearl…Jolie doesn’t make her superhuman — she still breaks down in a most heart-rending manner when the bad news finally comes.

***
Jolie’s Mariane takes us behind the scenes of that search and shows us what the woman who showed such a strong face to the TV cameras was truly enduring… Jolie lets us understand Mariane, and Winterbottom’s film puts the viewer in her shoes. So she has no arc, no change that this terrible journey has caused in her.

I apologize if this has been posted before on another thread. I don’t read comments all the time, so, please have patience.

This was an interview of Sean Smith. He answered questions from readers about his Newsweek article on Angelina. The read was interesting.

…………………
Thank you so much for posting this, I don’t remember seeing it posted here before. It more than interesting, it’s a keeper. It’s relevant to the fans of Brad & Angie at JJ’s in particular because it addresses a lot of the same questions, prejudices, misnomers, rumors and outright lies that we read, and sometimes answer to, day in and day out. Over and over again.

I found this exchange particularly interesting:

Memphis, TN: I know people will think I am just being a ‘feminist’ here but something I have noticed with Oprah, Madonna, Hillary Clinton and now Angelina Jolie. Although very different, they are all extremely powerful, influential and EXTREMELY divisive. People either love, love, love them or hate them. Do you think that the U.S. still has a problem with this type of intense power being in the hands of women?

Sean Smith: This is a great question, and I think you’ve really hit on something. And oddly, I think it’s primarily women who have this problem with powerful women. I don’t know why. Truly. I remember being really struck by people’s anger that Oprah built a schoool for girls in Africa instead of doing it here. The irony is, all of these women could just sit in their palaces and be completely isolated by their wealth, and the choose to go out into the world and try and do something positive. As soon as they do, they get attacked. It’s strange to me. I’m not saying Angelina, or any of these women, is a saint, but what harm are they doing, to anyone? It’s not like they started a war under false pretenses or even used government funds for something. I’m afraid I don’t have an answer here, but the question does fascinate me. I should probably do an entire story on this topic.

I think Brad is more mature now, and knows it does no good to get into a battle of words with the yellow press.

Plus, I think at the time he was trying to keep the peace with his neurotic wife. She goaded him into it, because we all knos she reads the damn things (tabloids). I can see her now, “Brad! Look what they said! Call them up and tell them blah blah blah….”

Angie would never ask him to make a fool of himself that way.

And I am sure he appreciates that.
===

EXACTLY!

#12 Neela, awesome interview. Thanks for that.

To the TROLL/S>>

Brad had to say nice things about Jen because she is a whining pathetic victim.He was dumping her @ss so he felt this would be his last charity to the pathetic b1ich.

AFTER ALL PIZZWATER ALMOST DROVE HIM CRAZY AND SUCKED THE LIFE OUT OF HIM WITH HER ‘EMOTONAL’problems.

Why do you think he had such long long breaks away from the sad pathetic heifer? And pizzwater even said herself her ‘emotional’ problems led to problems and eventual breakup of her marriage.

Bobble-head cant even keep a coke man in her bed.Jen even dropped her mum for talking about her hair.

Angelina ia a WOMAN and Brad is her Man and there is nothing to DEFEND. GO BRAD AND ANGELINA!

BTW>How many Dam times are you gonna change your DAM TAG NAME AND REPEAT YOUR SAME DAM QUESTION OVER AND OVER. PH PLEASE CALL YOUR OBESE1LY B1TCHES. WE KNOW ITS THE SAME DAM TROLL GET YOUR G.E.D ALREADY. JUST DAM!!!

275 wondering | 06/22/2007 at 11:13 am
I don’t understand what kind of man can stay silent while the mother of his kids is dragged through the mud for 2+ years for something HE did. I am not even a man (or a lesbian) but if I was in his situation you best believe I would have cleared her name long ago. If not for her the children. I dont understand how Angelina of all people could stay with a man that is so weak and then pimp him as a great man who she loves. I cant be a fan of a couple like this… because of Brad.

—–

Angelina has put herself on the line for that basta.rd . Her charity work is questioned and that has to be the worst. She deserves so much better imo. I really cant wait for them to breakup so Angelina can be on her own. I feel she will be better without the weakest man in the world known as Brad Pitt. He has dragged her down and left her DROWNING in media negativity while saving himself. How can Angelina and her friends not see this?

—–

I do dragonfly. I am obviously an Angie fan and I just hate all the negativity that has been left at Angie’s feet. Nobody ever questions brad charity work and he really didn’t get involved until 2004(acording to vanity fair africa issue) which just happens to be the year he met Angie. she had already been doing her thing for 3-4 years before that.

So true. all. of .it.

I am telling you I did not used to care much for Angelina, but I am really getting pissed off because of the attacks she is under.
I say go to hell everybody and let this woman just live her life.
I am pissed off with Brad Pitt also. I don’t think he deserves her.
That’s all.

————————
I also can’t stand how much negativity is placed towards her. Strong women are always put down by other envious women.

Reading those questions to Sean Smith made me sooooo sad,people really know how to hate.Thay have taken everthing she does and spun it the worst way.She is only human,she has made mistakes,Now she looks like someone who has grown into a caring women that would like to see the world and help the very less fortunate & belive me in America, the very poorest are not as bad off as the poor in these other parts of the world.And as for her taking Brad from Jen.Get over it!! Brad made the choose to divorce his wife,Who knows what went on it that marriage that it was so easy for Angie to “steal” him away.She & Brad look happy I doubt any women could “steal” him from her And they are not even married.

I think there’s a great balance between Brad and Angelina. I don’t think Brad should be blamed, but people’s mentality should be put into question. Historically, there’s always been a double standard against women. Heh, women are b*tchy period. Sorry. I’m a woman, too, but it is sad that there’s a lack of solidarity among us sometimes. Instead of celebrating another woman’s success and achievements, there are many of us who questiong and undermine them.

Anyway, I don’t think Brad should be blamed. It really boils down to the media and people’s mentality. Angelina has praised him, and we should take her word for that. I don’t think we should contribute to the sensationalism.

All those going to see AMH enjoy.please come back and tell us.WE live outside USA.

After reading the newsweek Q and A most of them are not concerned about the movie. I see why her Lawyrers did not want personal questions at the AMH premeire.

ON RECORD

Pitt Says:. “There is not a mean bone in her body!”

SAME TROLL/S, SAME QUESTION, SAME STATEMENT.DIFFERENT TAG NAME. TRYING TO MAKE THE QUESTION OR STATEMENT DIFFERENT. WE KNOW ITS YOU.SAME JUNK ON THE OTHER THREAD.GRASPING AT STRAWS .IGNORE OR INSULT.

BRAD DEFENDING JEN

Cant say the same about you.

What about the rumors floating around on the internet, a blind item about Angelina doing Heroine. Now, most of her fans speak everything that is Angelina. Can you please, for the ones that do not follow her as close, speak on this blind item. Angelina is a junkie and it did have an impact on Shiloh. It could have cause some developmental delay. Do you think that the one thing everyone says Brad left Jennifer for, the perfect family, is it possible her fears would be that he would go back to Jennifer and try again to get that perfect little girl. NOt that he love Shiloh any less. HOwever, Angelina is sick so maybe this is the reason she can not stay clean.. Also in every conversation she is sending a message to Jen because she could never ever be the woman that Jennifer is. That is enough to make any sociopathic drug addict fall off the wagon. What is your take on this.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Brad knows but doens’t do anything about it, he’s waiting for angelina to overdose and be the victim of the century. The perfect plan.

before she stabbed BRAD BACK

Pitt says he and Aniston are still close and will likely remain that way. “We’ve been able to keep the love that we have for each other in front [of everything else].”

A self-described “Zen master” at tuning out the intrusions of the tabloid press, Pitt allows his meditative calm to collapse when he talks about the paparazzi’s recent conduct, particularly their treatment of Aniston. “These guys have been incredibly despicable this round,” he says. “They should literally be hung up and flogged. You wouldn’t believe the s— they’ve been saying to Jen. She doesn’t have a nasty bone in her body, and they are yelling horrible things to get a rise out of her so they can get more money for their pictures.”

just another “fluff” piece about white trash seeing the light…blah blah ******* blah. Not an ORIGINAL thought among the whole lot of brange LOONIES. And BTW we have as much right as you crazies to POST our opinions. Get over yourselves

173 from other thread
—————–
Angie fan my a s s! All this uproar for all of the negative press from THE TABOIDS is nothing new for Angie yet people are using this as a chance to wish Angie will leave Brad and wishing for her to be alone…why? It’s not going to stop the tabs from amking up stories about her. She is one of the most popular women in the world being with Brad Pitt didn’t change that.

I can’t believe the crap I’m reading from “fans” of hers. She’s happy, she’s in love and wants to be where she is. I think we have all seen that if Angelina wasn’t happy she would leave in a heartbeat..children and all but it’s clear that after two and half years together, Angelina isn’t leave anytimes soon. But instead of cheering her on and being happy about her being happy, you guys choose to root for the day when Angie was cutting herself, using drugs and completely unhappy with her life. With Fans like these who needs haters?

I can’t get enough of this wonderful beautiful family. Love you Ange!

Get over it dummy…Brad does not have to
explain himself to no one. this may come
as a surprise to alot of you but what the
JP’s do and how they live their life is none
of our business.
we hold court here like we are more than fans,
well we are not, we are not judge or jury, just
strangers that admire both, or one of this fabulous couple from afar, so let’s stop with the ..i know what’s going on in the life of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie because we do not know jack…fighting with trolls like fools,
please let’s get back to the real issues.

some fans come here to fight, some come to
celebrate this family, there is a turn round
on these threads and it’s sad.

It’s almost like a destroy mission…peace!

161 GQ ARTICLE | 06/22/2007 at 1:00 pm
They’re really nasty out here. I mean, some of the things they’ve said during my and Jen’s split—things that are just deliberately said to get a rise out of her, just truly cruel—make me want to punch their lights out. And more toward Jen than me, which made me even more mad, because Jen’s an easier target. Grown men saying awful, despicable things. Things that a normal father or husband or brother would go and kill them for.”

It’s hard to imagine dismantling a marriage with any kind of grace amid all that, as tabloids sling facile theories and “truths”—for example, that Courteney Cox is superpissed at Brad, or that he wanted kids and Jen didn’t. “That was one version,” Pitt says, vigorously and absentmindedly rubbing the top of his head, “and total bullshit, by the way.”

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YOU DEFEND THAT PERSON AS BRAD DEFENDED JENNIFER! NOT LIKE KEEPING YOUR SILENCE WHEN THEY ARE ATTACKING THE MOTHER OF YOUR DAUGHTER. ANGELINA IS NOT LOVED BY BRAD AS MUCH AS JENNIFER WAS LOVED BY HIM.

HIS MOTHER STILL PREFERS JENNIFER…….

I see she’s still thinking about her first hubby.
what did I tell ya guys?

where?

I think it is about time that some of you fans

stop defending Brad. We know what he needs to

do. He knows what he needs to do. And we will

wait and see if he is willing to do what he

needs to do. HE NEEDS TO DECLARE HIS LOVE AND

DEFEND THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN!!!!!!

Ok now I am calm.

Brad Pitt doesn’t even deverse the pinky toe of angelina’s foot.

This interview is a cut and paste of ones she already did…

Can’t wait to see AMH. The critical acclaim thus far has been fairly positive so I’m glad to get a chance to see what everyone is raving about.

I feel like Angie is being a martyr.

I am very very worried about her.

If angelina is doing drugs again is because she feels alone and with lack of support. Brad Pitt is just problems to her.

180, you are full of Shxt.GO BACK TO FEMALE FIRST DUNGEON!

178 sharon | 06/22/2007 at 1:06 pm
Brad uses his actions to prove his love for Angie. He divoced Jen and went to be with Angie. Followed her around the world wherever she wanted to go. Stayed by her side and took care of her and children when she was pregnant. Brought her out of her shell when she got emotional. helped her go through her mother’s death. supported her on her mission of saving the world. pick up and drop off the children to school everyday.
Damn it. these actions are 1000 times better than the damn words.

ANGELINA DOES AS BRAD LIKES BUT STILL NO DEFENCE…….

That they had a nasty fight after AMH premiere and broke up. That People has the exclusive next week on the details. That Brad and the children were not in Prague. Yeah you are batting a 1000 but in the negative hon.

——————
Yep and doing all the defending led them right to divorcing one another but before that a seperation that lasted almost the last year and half of their marriage and before that two years of consueling to help the already troubled relationship/marriage. Yep all very helpful. Hey…maybe you’ll know….what should Brad say that would stop all this “negative” press from the tabs? Prey tell!

I can’t believe the **** I’m reading from “fans” of hers. She’s happy, she’s in love and wants to be where she is. I think we have all seen that if Angelina wasn’t happy she would leave in a heartbeat..children and all but it’s clear that after two and half years together, Angelina isn’t leave anytimes soon.

_____________

I’m with you. I personally don’t think they are fans at all if they can’t see how happy Angie is now. No real fan would wish the breakup of her family.

Angelina does not need anyone to defend her. She is a strong woman. Brad said it takes a strong woman to play Marriane and that’s Angie and being in the presence of these two womae is like being in the presence of Churchill and Rosevelt only that they are better looking. They know their truth. They are content.

Brad pitt is a sorry excuse of a man. Angelina I’m with you.

Tell you be honestly that Angelina more mostly so beautiful personally and so beautiful her heart and generous and happppppppppppppppy and laugh a lot.. wow.. i like that her way more brave and more positively and more love adopt more children .. Brad so beautiful personally, too! Wow! Both Match…… I am happy that Angelina more happy .. did not depression or sad or emotions nothing.. wow.. Angelina very good and smart woman .. love her children seems so so so so happy .. so beautiful allllll their children.. wow.. look wonderful family and will get more big family and more beautiful .. i believe.. more happpppppppppppppppy eheheh .. smile.. the world people not know nothing about them life.. Wow!!!! If me in her shoe, i will be same things positively and happppppppppppy and beautiful man Smile……….. I never like Jennifer look like jennifer sicko, yuckly, i am so sorry i think Jennifer silly personally.. Thanks bye

Fans are not the ones writing these nonsense. These are people who find ways to derail the thread. Perez is closing down.

#204: Oh, yes. Brad loved Jen more and he will always love her. His family loves her and will always love her. They hate Angelina, forever and ever.

He just can’t stay with Jennifer even though he loves her. So even if he’s still with Angelina and his kids when he’s old and gray, remember that he will always love Jennifer. He just can’t stay with her because he loves her so much. He just can’t leave Angelina because he hates her guts and is making sure she knows it.

There, are you happy now?

ANGELINA SAID EVEN MORE DEEP STUFF WHILE SHE MARRIED TO BILLY. SHE CHANGES HER MIND.

STAY STRONG ANGIE

Brad has normal nice, clam fans, Angelina has crazy angry fans.

And she’s with Brad, so boo for you huh?

I find something interesting going on…for all these supposed Angelina fans, they sure do know how to find Brad’s articles where he “defends” Jen. It’s like it’s at their finger tips or something. Could it be haters in disguise….I think so! Guys plz grow up!

Right! And what’s to “defend”, anyway? She’s done nothing wrong.

Brad probably wakes up everyday thankful he’s no longer having to deal with a weak, neurotic spouse.

And when it gets right down to where the rubber meets the road, none of this is really any of the public’s business, anyway. All any of us (fans and haters) can do is speculate.

Brad and Angie are together, and as always, time will tell.

- I told her to act her age and she died.
- she still owes Moses $3.

I don’t understand what kind of man can stay silent while the mother of his kids is dragged through the mud for 2+ years for something HE did. I am not even a man (or a lesbian) but if I was in his situation you best believe I would have cleared her name long ago. If not for her the children. I dont understand how Angelina of all people could stay with a man that is so weak and then pimp him as a great man who she loves. I cant be a fan of a couple like this… because of Brad.

—–

Angelina has put herself on the line for that basta.rd . Her charity work is questioned and that has to be the worst. She deserves so much better imo. I really cant wait for them to breakup so Angelina can be on her own. I feel she will be better without the weakest man in the world known as Brad Pitt. He has dragged her down and left her DROWNING in media negativity while saving himself. How can Angelina and her friends not see this?

—–

I do dragonfly. I am obviously an Angie fan and I just hate all the negativity that has been left at Angie’s feet. Nobody ever questions brad charity work and he really didn’t get involved until 2004(according to vanity fair Africa issue) which just happens to be the year he met Angie. she had already been doing her thing for 3-4 years before that.

So true. all. of .it.

JEN: 2 INTERVIEWS POST DIVORCE

~~~
Isn’t that funny now Feb/Mar 2005 is post divorce. Used to be these haters said Brad was still married when they decided to get pregnant.

Brad did those interviews early 2005. Before Jennifer go her friends to lie about him.

Zero kind words about Jennifer after the GQ magazine. If fact NO Words about Jennifer.

But many words about how intellegent,caring, a great mother and a person who has inspired him Angelina Jolie is. JUST WAIT HATERS. First the kissing then butt touching, then makeout in the back of the car. Brad will be doing more talking about this lovely lady. Just wait…..

PATHETIC

Brad and Angie have a joint project out today, that’s how they are together in real life - joined at the hips Don’t cry for them haters, they are doing fine.

I like this part of Smith’s session:

Eagan, MN: Does Angelina Jolie feel remorse at all for her actions and choices she has made regarding Jennifer Aniston? When Brad and Jennifer were married they had planned on Jennifer playing the role. It seems like Jolie just keeps pushing the dagger deeper and deeper into Aniston’s heart and soul.

To do what she (Jolie) has done to another will return sometime to herself. How does she live daily with herself and all of the extreme exposure while hurting Jennifer?

Sean Smith: I got a lot of questions on this topic about this, too. I don’t know why Pitt and Aniston broke up. Frankly, I can’t tell you why MY last relationship ended. The only two people who really know what happened in relationship are the two people in it. Neither Jennifer, Brad or Angelina has ever said that Angelina “stole” him. She may have. She may not. I don’t know. But neither does anyone else, and I’m perplexed by this need for us, as the American public, to cast something as complicated as a romantic relationship into a simple soap-opera narrative, with a good girl and a bad girl. I do know this in general: when a relationship is happy and healthy, neither partner can be stolen by anyone.

________________________

This is what this thread is turning to. Sadly, it will always be soap opera in everybody’s eyes.

Can someone give me an email address for Sean Smith from Newsweek? I want to let him know I appreciate his interviews with Angelina and Mariane and his Q&A.

Please ignore the haters. They are trying to ruin premeire day of AMH. Ignore them and they will fail. I’m off to the movie now.

DO SOMETHING YOU LITTLE *****

Angelina does not do drugs - Check her MC interview. She said “I don’t do drugs.” Please take the blind item somewhere else.

Angelina has more balls than Brad.
THAT’S A FACT.

Can anyone post AMH reviews please that is why the haters are here,They don’t want people to see them.

Regarding Ted Casablanca’s Blind Vice item: The description doesn’t seem to fit Angelina, actually. Another celebrity comes to mind *right away*, though… ;-)

(In response to those who think Ted’s always out to put AJ down, he does say good things about her).

And thanks, Neela, for posting the Smith Q&A from Newsweek. We all have strengths & flaws, but some people hope to see the only the negative, whether it’s the truth or not. It’s sad, when it can deeply affect people’s reputations, feelings, as well as their families. I’m convinced that some people will only see what they want, though, inspite of facts or evidence to the contrary. But that’s a burden they bear…

Finally, thanks, Jared. Your site is a daily source of fun.

Brad has said, Angie doesn’t have a boss. I think that’s what I like about the two of them. He intimates that they are in love and they are united, but at the same time, they are accepting of each other’s traits. I think they are accepting of each ones sense of independent thinking.

NEW THREAD
———————-
There is no new thread.

Angelina is wasting away.

What does he do abot it? Nothing.

I

when a relationship is happy and healthy, neither partner can be stolen by anyone.

Why is this so hard to understand?

I loved they newsweek article, and the writer’s response to those ignorant people who wrote in.

I copied this:
I just got back from watching this film at the movie theater that I work at, so I know a thing or two about movies and my god was this AWESOME!!!! Jolie does an excellent job and has a flawless accent. Not only that, she looked good doing it. This film is very intense and can get a little sad at times, but the topics in this movie weren’t meant to make you laugh anyways… So take the advice from a guy who works at a place where films are shown, and WATCH it!!! A lot of talking goes on, but its interesting talk that will make you wish you were in this movie. I hope you all enjoy it and watch it at an AMC theater near you… GREAT MOVIE!!!

GO ANGIE

ADIOS

The talented Mr. Pitt never fails. There is only so much a woman can take, good news she’s taking a year off, time to come to her senses.

Brad loves Angie/Angie loves Brad |

Actually, Brad DID say this, it was right after they separated. Of course once the VF article came out.. Brad never said anything about her again. Never even mentioned her name. He was being nice and hoped they could remain friends but she blew it.

S*IT! A lot of nasty people on DListed taking Ted C’s Blind Item as gospel truth that Angie is on heroine. Quite pathetic really.
Tabloid journalists are some of the most vile people on the planet
++++++++++++++++++
Tell them Pitt knows and doesn’t care. Who is the real bad guy? the drug addict or the one who turns the head the other way?

Neela, great posting on the Newsweek blog. Can we save this somehow and cut and paste everytime somebody makes one of those comments? Seems like Sean Smith answered for all of us when those questions came up. He seemed pretty peeved about the inane questions and he only have to deal with it for one day. We get it all the time here. I’m glad he pointed out the issue about women hating on women.

Women are women’s worst enemies, in business, in professional career, etc. Women’s jealousy is incredible. This is why no matter how capable a woman is, men will still run the world. Sure, we represent 50% of the population, an even though more women are entering colleges, more women are in law school, or are catching to men in fields we were behind, we will not get that respect and power because our own sisters won’t vote for us.

I don’t mind people expressing different opintions, but a lot of their comments are because they are incredibly jealous of her success. They just want to bring her down. Look at the Aniston PR. What is she promoting? Instead, she has to get in the press to remind people that this woman stole her man. Incredibly ridiculous. Remember, there’s nothing to steal if two people are in love and don’t see anything outside of their coupledom.

In Lainey’s previous post, she said Brad Pitt’s rumored to say “misogny of our press.” Well, I was thinking, he sure is aware of it, and why don’t he do something to stop it. Instead, he perpetuates it. He sits aside and let the public feed on Angelina. Anyway, I know there are BP fans here so I’ll stop here. I know you say he’s about action, not words. So I assume he’s not going to say much in his upcoming interviews to promote his film. I’ll just take my cue from Angelina. If she’s happy, then he’s doing something right.

Now back to Sean Smith’s blog. Loved how he responded directly to those questions and just gave it to them. No mister nice guy, no playing with words, no political correctness. Just straight answers. He’s Angelina’s best PR now. Hope that reached a wide audience and stop all the women bashing against Angelina. Shish!

Movie review: Jolie gives a powerful performance in the understated ‘A Mighty Heart’
The Associated Press

NEW YORK: When you’re an international superstar — when you’re Julia Roberts or Tom Cruise, for example — it can be difficult for audiences to accept you in challenging roles, difficult for them to dissociate the persona from the performance. Lately this phenomenon also has been true of Angelina Jolie, with her well-documented adventures in adoption and globe-trotting with Brad Pitt.

But in “A Mighty Heart” as Mariane Pearl, the wife of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, Jolie reminds us that she really can act, that the supporting-actress Oscar for “Girl, Interrupted” wasn’t a fluke, that there is indeed substance beneath the sex appeal. She deeply immerses herself and, as a result, stands tall as the film’s graceful heart and soul. It’s pretty hard to imagine that her name won’t be at the forefront again come awards season this year.

(Likely to get overshadowed in the mountain of praise Jolie will duly receive is Dan Futterman as Pearl himself. The Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of “Capote” only gets about a half-dozen scenes to give us an impression of who this determined journalist was, mostly in flashbacks, and he does so with subtlety and intelligence.)

Director Michael Winterbottom (”24 Hour Party People,” “Welcome to Sarajevo”) wisely applies his trademark documentary-style approach, making us feel the building tension and dread as a multicultural coalition of investigators and journalists drops everything to track down Pearl’s kidnappers. (The unadorned, fly-on-the-wall camerawork comes from longtime Winterbottom collaborator Marcel Zyskind. John Orloff wrote the no-nonsense screenplay based on Mariane Pearl’s memoir, “A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny.”)

Like the stylistically and thematically similar “United 93,” this is a film that clearly needed no dramatic embellishment. And like “United 93,” we know the devastating ending from the moment we walk in, yet may find ourselves silently, futilely hoping that things will turn out otherwise. Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic militants because he was Jewish, and the killing was videotaped. Thankfully, though, we don’t have to see it.

But being aware of his outcome makes each early moment sadly meaningful — the image of Danny pulling away in a taxi for his fateful meeting while researching shoe bomber Richard Reid, a casual mention that he might be late for dinner, a perfunctory “I love you” on the cell phone before saying goodbye.

Once Danny fails to return to the home where they’re staying in Karachi, Pakistan, on the night of Jan. 23, 2002, Mariane — herself a journalist for French radio — puts her skills to use trying to determine what might have happened to him. She is six months pregnant with their first child, a son Danny wanted to name Adam, but she moves quickly and efficiently. At her side from the start is his longtime friend and colleague, Asra Nomani (Archie Panjabi), but as the hours tick away and the situation grows more grim, their circle expands to include investigators, editors and ambassadors.

Winterbottom puts us smack in the middle of them, gives us a seat at the table as they piece together names and faces, times and places. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll always be clued into what’s going on. The sensation of realism that permeates every frame of this film means that we also experience the same chaos these people endure; it can be frustrating but, then again, making us omniscient wouldn’t make any sense.

Leading the investigation is the head of Pakistan’s counterterrorism unit, a man known as Captain (Irrfan Khan, with tremendous presence) who turns out to be more caring and sympathetic than he initially appears. He orders his men to scatter through Karachi’s crowded streets, dark alleys and hidden back rooms, rounding up the usual suspects.

This, by necessity, takes us away from Jolie. We truly miss her presence, and when she’s gone, “A Mighty Heart” can get a bit draggy. For a big chunk in the middle it feels like a standard crime drama — though it’s a strikingly crafted and stirring one.

“A Mighty Heart,” a Paramount Vantage release, runs 108 minutes. Three stars out of four.

All the best wishes for Brad, Angelina and the kids.

Can’t wait to see AMH.

Congratulations Angelina Jolie for your remarkable achievements artistically and humanitarian way. God will always bless you. You will always be triumphant in the end.

——————–
Hater stealing names huh? Damn that is sad.

That is what Angie said in her recent interview with Larry King.

JOLIE:The one thing I have learned in my life is that a relationship is not about having fun together, it’s not about hiding behind each other and trying to protect each other, but it’s about having a shared view of what you want to create and what you want to do in this world — how you want to raise your family or, if you have a bigger purpose together. And Danny and Mariane had that.
=——————————–=
Whoever thinks that Angie cares what kind of idiocy the Tabs and the outlets who are basing their stories on the tabs will say next and that she needs any kind of defending because of that then he/she needs a quike connection with reallity.

Angie had this thing in her life from when she endered the Hollywood scene. There was always critisism about her in the press. Not just now.

I’m so sick and tired of hearing Brad has to do this and Brad has to do that when from the first time they got together he rearly left her sight. He was beside her when she gave birth.He was right there when her mother died. He adopted the kids and he loves them and conciders them as his own blood. but somehow he will all of a sudden show his love and support if he will say something so Star and Life and Style will stop saying that she is too thin or that she a bad person and blah blah!!

You people are something else. And at the end of the day if she will ever feel that something needs to be said she will say it on her own. They are both two grown ass people and they can talk about them selves as they want and whenever they want.

*********************************
WHAT I MEAN IS, HE HAVE NOT SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT LATELY. HER HAS NOT TALKED ABOUT OR SPOKEN TO HER IN 2 YEARS.

Quickly scanning through some of the replies I can not believe some people think she is lying or changing her story. That is so far from the truth.
People ARE many facets, many levels, they evolve as they get older but it is good to still keep some of the fun antics of being a child once upon a time. People have moods and different days bring different thoughts, doesn’t mean it is backtacking or lying it just means that we are just seeing another part of Angie as a whole. Funny how some people think we are like robots and can not constantly grow, change, expand and learn.
As I am older then her I applaud what she is doing and am happy she is maintaining her fun self as well.
Amazing how some can only live in a negative world instead of opening ones mind and letting in the good.
Good for Angie!! She is open and continuing to grow as I am at my age as well. I wish her all the best life has to offer.

BRAD AND ANGIE FANS I FOUND A REALLY GREAT VID ON UTUBE THAT MADE ME FEEL SLIGHTY BETTER. I LOVE ANGELINA AND THATS WHERE MY HEART LIES, BUT I THINK THEY NEED ONE ANOTHER. THEY HAVE MORE IN COMMON THEN WE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR. BRAD DOES LOVE HER…?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxjb7DtnKcc

Angelina is a great actress and humanitarian..People often feel the need to be rude and intrucive without thinking… i am being correct in my opinion..or rather is it right the say such things..
Let’s see-…People say she is too thin..Never mind that she just recently lost her mother to cancer and is greving….That she never holds her daughter Shiloh..as if holding her in public in someway proves that she is a great mother…Never mind that she carried the child for 9mths in her stomach..i am sure she is a fantastic mother..by all accounts from her friends….But there are numerous pxs of her holding her daughter…If you saw the video that i saw on the net..the screaming fans ..the photographers..It was totally insane..But she has many many pxs with her..so anyone who say that she holds the others kids more need to shut the hell up.
Then lastly,Everytime i read a comment someone always has to mention Karma…Well,If you tell and say false things about someone you don’t know then i would be safe in saying that you better watch your ass too..Because karma will come back to bite you in the ass too!!

I’m so sick and tired of hearing Brad has to do this and Brad has to do that when from the first time they got together he rearly left her sight. He was beside her when she gave birth.He was right there when her mother died. He adopted the kids and he loves them and conciders them as his own blood. but somehow he will all of a sudden show his love and support if he will say something so Star and Life and Style will stop saying that she is too thin or that she a bad person and blah blah!!

I agree. And I think it is only children who really want this. Children and teens dont understand a mature relationship.

332 the real tita | 06/22/2007 at 2:32 pm
=————————–=
I don’t think there is anything they can do that will stop it either. No matter what they will do, PDA or not PDA, talking or not talking. The situation will remain the same. And if there is it will be for a very short period of time. The best think is to ignore or just adress something really serious that needs to be adressed. But other than that if living their lifes and are happy is enough for them then it’s quite enough for me too..LOL!!

BTW- there is new thread of Brad picking up the kids from school!!

************thank you for posting ‘em & ITA w/ this “I do know this in general: when a relationship is happy and healthy, neither partner can be stolen by anyone. ”

*********************************************

I’ve been saying this for years. Man, haters are everywhere. I think Sean Smith handled himself very well answering those questions. It is very clear that their are many people who will never like Angelina. They will never give her the benefit of being a good person who is trying to do some good in this world. She damned if she does, and damned if she doesn’t. That’s why I’m glad she has so much support on this board.

324, maybe u agree with lainey, but i don’t! she was ok in my book before but now she is losing my interest! just re-read and analize her way of describing angie and everything makes me realize , she never really know or understand who angie is. the answer is simple,she don’t hv to ….becoz she don’t care for
