Angelina Jolie @ Clinton Global Initiative

I missed some of her speech and I would like to watch it again. SOMEBODY PLEASE POST THE LINK IF YOU FIND THE VID.

Just finished watching the plenary on education…all the speakers were engaging and so well informed.

Angelina was great. She fit right in even with the ‘big names and titles’ on the panel. She was professional and well versed, but also very personable. Good for her, must have been somewhat nervous wracking, but she didn’t show it :)

After watching the session I have to say that I feel utterly embarrassed for people who write for as well as buy into rag gossip. Angelina is much more than her tabloid portrayal, she’s intelligent, caring and dedicated to her family and to the issues she believes in. It’s sad that people intentionally choose to ignore these characteristics and instead prefer to live in tabloid LA - LA land and made judgments about her and her life based on these stories. As I said before they should be embarrassed, I’m embarrassed for them.

Thanks CHQT. Will have to try the link a bit later.

133 Topaz - Hi Topaz, how are you? I was e-mailing JJ earlier about Angie, and he told me that he will post a new thread on her. So it’s not pure luck that I have, it was an inside connection… ;)

Dina, that’s a great idea, but I’m even more of a computer dummy than you are. Any computer nerds in the house??

It’s so weird sometimes to see Angelina Jolie standing around with normal, every day looking people. She is insanely beautiful. It just becomes so much more striking out of the Hollywood context.

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

Angelina always said she wants to be remembered as a humanitarian rather than as an actor. It’s nice to see she has her priorities straight.

#145 Dina#1 - I was sort of thinking the same thing - but also wanted to thank Bill Clinton for inviting Angie and Brad to the sessions and asking them to speak. People like Bill Clinton need to know that Angie and Brad are truly appreciated for their work and that people want to see them speaking out more and more. If they are made aware that people are paying more attention to an event like the CGI Annual Meeting because of their attendance,then they will be invited back and asked to speak at more events.

And of course the other way we can all support the work that Angie and Brad are doing is by continuing to support the organizations that they do.

Damn she looks old and haggard for a supposed 32 year old.
============================
it’s the wages of sin showing on her face.

Is there anyway we, fans, could send and e-mail from the fans to
Angie and Brad? You know collect the names of all the fans, or those who want to, and send an e-mail to her and Brad thanking them for their involvment and their caring. I don’t know how we would do it as I am totally computer challenged. But any ideas? Peace

Dina, that’s a great idea I hope someone here can do it.

errr,even though I lover her I used to think Angelina looked older than her age too . that is until i saw pix of charlize and drew who are both the same age as her and they all look the same as far as age goes. it is what 32 looks like with really high quality pix. Brad too looks older than his age in hq pix. I still a huge fan of them though.
