Angelina Jolie: I’m Just a Mom First and Foremost
Angelina Jolie take Pax, 3, and Zahara, 2, to school at the American Embassy compound on Monday morning in Prague, Czech Republic.
The Hollywood humanitarian is profiled in the Spring/Summer 2007 issue of Caesars Player, the luxury lifestyle and gaming magazine of Caesars.
On her most important role she’s ever played: “I’m just a Mom first and foremost. I’m very grounded by my family. I’m so lucky. The world can like me, hate me, fall apart around me, and at least when I wake up with my little kids, I’m happy.”
On her guide to parenting coming from her own mother: “I was raised by my mother to be honest and straightforward. I tend to do that very boldly. I’ve always been encouraged to be one hundred percent who I am. Now, when I talk to my own kids, I sometimes realize I’m talking to them like my mom talked to me.”
On what keeps her and Brad Pitt together: “It should be about that kind of depth of understanding you can have with another person. It goes beyond the superficial and the physical. I find it very sensual when a couple can look deeply into each other’s souls and hearts. There are very few people who can hold me when I cry and talk to me about my life and say, ‘I believe in you.’

The kids look great as does their Mom. Pax has definitely bonded with his family, and he and his sister Z are two characters for sure. Cute cuties.
So very sad that the filth is here so early. Birds flock together and so do they
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have often wondered why they won’t give it a rest. Why come here and post negative things about AJ instead of going to a post and posting positive things about JA.
*************************************
I know! I don’t get it either. Don’t they knolw if they truly love Jen and want her to have good things in life, then they need to go to her threads and support her, not try and tear Brad and Angie down.
I guess that’s why they show us, day after day, what miserable little lives they must have.
Speaking of, I have to go live mine! Everyone have a nice day!
ANGELINA AND BRAD ARE MAKING THE WOLD’s HISTORY!

PS. The physcial thing is not important .. LOL. I bet btwn Brads lack of gear and her bag of bones the attraction is GONE and best they work on the inner acceptence.

Angie’s snug and tight. Unlike A-nasty’s gaping cavern. I heard Sculfor fell in it, that’s why we haven’t seen him.

The heroin story going around must be Angelina. Besides the weight, look at her hair? She has the telltale signs of an addict. How are you going to rationalize that one Loonies??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story is not about Angelina. Her hair was put up in a bun and then she took it down. I recognize that because I have long hair and it gets those same crimps in it when I have had it up in a bun.
There is no evidence at all that Angie is using any kind of drugs. Besides, all UN workers have to be tested, plus, she is monitored closely as an adoptive mom by all kinds of children’s agencies. You are grasping at straws and telling lies. This accusation is not going to stick to her, no matter how hard you try and pull that lie out of your ass time and again. Get lost.
And you dare to call someone loony when you use the name Klinger? Right. Your dress and pantyhose are too tight, Corporal. And your slip is showing.

POOR JEN, POOR POOR JEN THE GIRL LOOKS SO SAD WHAT’S UP WITH THAT? I mean the exMIL publicly visited, jen got one day of posotive press right? jane loves her so why is’nt she happy? could it be that no external force can help this woman? could her unhappiness be internal? lack of selfworth? she is an example of mony can’t buy happiness!!
Dude #255, wow, so you’re either a doctor or a nurse you know what the exact signs are? Unless you’re an addict yourself? Maybe you’re a professional diagnozer by looking at photos that don’t even have great details? That’s kinda loony to me to judge others like that and to sound so sure of yourself while you’re doing it too.
Guess what, sometimes when a person doesn’t wash her hair for say a few days, it can get greasy-looking, especially when a woman has 4 kids, ya know? There is such a thing as time constraint and having pretty hair all the time is probably not Angie’s highest priority. ;) Read the interview part Jared has actually posted: she doesn’t care what people think about her, as long as she’s with her kids when she wakes up, she’s cool. :)
REPLY IS FOREST GUMP,WE ARE FOREST GUMP,HELLO IS FOREST GUMP.WE ARE IDIOTS
Jared, thanks for the pictures and the link to the article. I just can’t read all the nonsense today.
Pitt is happy where he is!
I refuse to be a hater. Living, what, almost 3 years in misery!!! Sad, sad, sad… Get a life!
Brangelinas have been strong! So you’ll live to be more and more miserable, day after day. Yes!
EH JARED Thursday morning???MONDAY MORNING
Did she have her boobs lifted or is this a concrete bra or what?
Whew, it is getting exhausting to be reading all this sh*t all the time … the fanistons are really getting desperate, they are throwing anything and everything at Angelina, hoping something would stick. I am just so glad that my girl is strong and brave, does not read the tabs, just takes care of her man and her children.

================
I just could not understand why they are posting here. You see, every venom they post makes them just look morons and uneducated.
Excerpts I like:
HW: Given it’s an independent film, but a summer release, will you be watching box office numbers this weekend?
AJ: First of all, I never do! I’ll be somewhere hanging with the kids, and I won’t know. I do live with the producer [Brad Pitt] so I may hear something [laughs]. The great thing about this film was that it was done very low budget. So we don’t have a lot of pressure. Nobody made it for the reason of making money. Even the producers themselves and the studio don’t care, really. They want it to be good, and they were really happy that there was a positive response to the product.
HW: Awards buzz has already begun. What’s your take on that?
AJ: You appreciate it and you hope it makes more people see the movie. Really, that’s the end goal. All that other stuff is just kind of fun. And icing on the cake. And lovely. If we weren’t acknowledged for anything–and no awards or anything like that ever happened–then that means nothing because we made the film we cared about.
HW: What does Maddox think that his Mom and Dad do for a living?
AJ: It’s funny because he sees a weird combination of what we do. He was aware of Brad going for meetings for New Orleans rebuilding the other day. And that’s part of what ‘Daddy does’. So, hopefully [he witnesses] a good combination of what we do. But, he knows we also make movies. He kind of finds that funny. Funny in that we tell stories, and we play dress up. He’s grown up [being] on sets. Dressing up in hair and makeup himself.
HW: What awareness does he have about A Mighty Heart?
AJ: For this one, it was strange because he knew I was playing Adam’s Mommy. Maddox kept asking me why I was dressing up like Adam’s Mommy. This is a film he obviously can’t see; and to explain why people would make a film about that [me playing Mariane] was hard to skirt that line cause it’s hard for me to tell him what I don’t want to discuss with Adam in a wrong way. He’s a talker that one!
HW: Do your kids embrace the traveling, or do they want to be in one place for a while?
AJ: They really seem to like traveling, thank God. I think, especially with young kids, you can make it…not weird, but actually really exciting–and really tough–and cool and fun. So, they seem to have a real joy. When we were preparing for this film we were in the Namibia and they went to the Bushman school for a while and loved it. Now they’re going to school in Prague and they’re doing good. We’ll see how they turn out!
HW: How did being on-location in India impact you?
AJ: It was a complicated place. I love traveling. I love being abroad. I love visiting Pakistan over the years and really wanted to shoot there. But, I understood why it was best to shoot pieces of it there, and then have the house in India. India was…a…complicated place to shoot. But the crews were amazing. And the actors were amazing.
HW: So this journey enabled you to tap into a new world of cinema?
AJ: That was a wonderful experience and that was a great reminder for the next time I do a film, I won’t look at the short-list of American actors. I’m going to think about all the great actors across the world, and remember that we should all be thinking of each other more–and working together more.

I wish they’d show AMH here in the Philippines already!

Haters,get over Brad & Jen.They did!!!Life goes on.Which one of you people that hate Angelina & Brad soooo much has never left or been left for someone you really fell in love with?.The movie was good,her performance was GREAT.She will be nominated for an Oscar.This is not the kind of movie the movie audiance 18-30 goes to see.It is an political, independent movie that everyone knows the ending to.MY friends & I love her in this movie.
JJ Was this last Thursday or Monday June 25th in Prague after their Bilbao vacation weekend? Anyway Brad and Angie are not only strong inside and out their bond is solid and they are both grounded. I knew both of them are beyond the superficial. Angie knows people hate her and she is the most straightforward person. Thank God, Brad has the same purpose and perspective in life. Go Angie, there are more of us who are cheering for you and Brad and kids.
P.S.
EAT!

Dude, emptying the trash in a hospital doesn’t really put you “in the medical field”. Sorry.
Jen said when she meet Angelina she said”Brad is really excited about working with you” WAS BRAD TALKING ABOUT ANGELINA ALL THE TIME OR COULDN’T SLEEP WAITING FOR FILMING TO START.BRAD IS NEVER GOING BACK TO X.
she will be nominated for sure, no doubt on that.
