Angelina Jolie Pens ‘Economist’ Article

Angelina Jolie Pens ‘Economist’ Article

Angelina Jolie has penned an article for The Economist, a London-based weekly international news and business publication.

According to Britain’s The Guardian, Angie’s article will be published tomorrow in the Economist’s annual spin-off issue, The World in 2008. Angie’s piece covers the “accountability for the atrocities in Darfur” and her photo byline describes her as a “goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.”

Angelina Jolie: Hollywood actress, UN goodwill ambassador, mother-of-four and now author for The Economist!

UPDATE: Here are some quotes:

– “Accountability is perhaps the only force powerful enough to break the cycle of violence and retribution that marks so many conflicts.”
– “I hope that the Sudanese government will hand over the government minister and the Janjaweed militia leader who have been indicted for war crimes (by the International Criminal Court in The Hague), and that the teenager I met in Chad will get the trial he seeks.”
– “I hope that those responsible for the atrocities in Darfur will be held to account, not only for that young man’s sake, but for the world’s.”

Doria, FYI your idol Aniston does not only drink and smoke but drugs too. Why do you think she can not have kids because she can’t get away from all of the above. So STFU. Idiot!

Has anyone noticed that the attacks on Angie at JJB are normally vicious on Mondays and Tuesdays just before tabloids come out. I strongly believe that that is when they harvest fodder for their material. don’t fall for it.

#90 SERA As much as I agree with you that it would be cool if TIME named Angelina their person of the year, unfortunately Time is bordering so far left that they sometimes terrorize even the mildly conservative liberals out there.
Case in point, when they recently wrote an article on Ben Affleck and his new movie and all the former Bennifer stuff, they actually wrote something to the effect of: paging Brangelina. Like Brad and Angelina actually have a say or right of dictation on what the tabloid trash publishes. Geez.
Another thing, The Economist is their major competition.
I’ve only really read the Economist once on a flight because they’re still a little obscure in a few countries but it’s actually a very intellectual magazine. Their contributors are major economists and major companies stay up to date with their news. I’ve seen a lot of big names subscribed to their list of heavy hitters. They’re not that widely known in the mainstream public though because most of their materials and write-ups are really lengthy ( must admit, sometimes long winded) but from the articles I read, I was really compelled. That’s why this particular issue is going to be in news stands for the whole year. And another reason why I am very impressed with Angelina for being one of their contributors. I look forward to reading her write-up.

Jolie-Pitts rock!

_______________________________________________

And I’m not the only one. Case in point: (By the way, these are just a few) :)

“Angelina Jolie, without a doubt, she’s so beautiful and talented!” ~ Alysson Hannigan [On Switching Sides]

“I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum.” ~ Halle Berry

“I’m absolutely in awe of her. There’s something about her that tells me, ‘That girl’s my vibe,’ you know. It’s just one of those feelings, you know what I mean?” ~ Fred Durst

“That is truly and literally the woman of my dreams. Whoa! I think about her way too much.” ~ Fred Durst

“There are two people that I’ve met that almost made me keel over. Angelina Jolie being the first, it was just when her movie Gia came out and I absolutely loved it. It’s my all time favourite movie. A lot of times I forget that I’m an actor and that maybe someone might recognize me from something that I have done. So I went up to her and said, Miss Jolie, I just have to tell you that I am a huge fan of your work and I saw you in Gia, and I started complimenting her work and I got her all teary! Can you believe that? I made Angelina Jolie almost cry! But then the best was when she said that she recognized me from Welcome to The Dollhouse and then she got me all teary! Then she kissed me on the cheek and I almost fainted. The other person that I met that was the coolest was Lauren Bacall. Wow, that was unreal!” ~ Heather Matarazzo

“She is very sexy. It sounds like an obvious answer, but there is something about her. She’s hot, I’m sorry. And she’s an incredible actress.” ~ Sarah Michelle Gellar

“If I was forced to go with a woman, it would have to be Madonna or Angelina Jolie. Probably Angelina. We were staying at the same hotel recently and I bumped into her in the lobby. She looked so beautiful and elegant that I wanted to tell her but I was too dumbstruck. There’s something deliciously mischievous about her. It’s something to do with that glint in her eye. I found myself just staring at her but secretly I was hoping she was checking me out.” ~ Charisma Carpenter

“She’s gorgeous! She was very goth, so you know, she was very into goth and some other crazy things. She was very pretty, but everybody at school was really scared of her.” ~ Ashley Hamilton

“Since that breakup (with Billy Bob), all of a sudden there’s pictures of her dressed in, like, a soccer mom shirt and a skirt at the park playing with her Thai baby. Where’s the vial of blood?” ~ Kathy Griffin

“I love Angelina Jolie’s work. I think she has an amazing ability to get under the skin of characters and do her thing. I would love to work with her and, obviosly, with Halle Berry.” ~ Colin Farrell

“She’s so ****ing intense!” ~ Colin Farrell

“She exudes confidence and has a great body to wear our clothes.” ~ Dolce and Gabbana

“She doesn’t care [what people think]. She’s out to please herself. I love that about her.” ~ Aaliyah

“I like Robbie Williams, it is really too difficult to divert the eyes of him when he is there. As for Prince William, he is adorable and David Beckham moreover has really this small something. With regard to the women, Angelina Jolie is also somebody who has a trick moreover. I do not know if it is her attitude or if it is her bottom which does that, but she is really attractive.” ~ Janet Jackson

“This was never like, let me pretend that I’m straight on TV. And then let me all of a sudden declare I’m gay, and change. Most people who watched my show knew that I was gay. I don’t know how they couldn’t. I mean, I know I said I have a crush on Tom Cruise. You know why? I do. Does that mean that I want to marry him? No. Angelina Jolie was on my show. It was fairly obvious I had a crush on her, too.” ~ Rosie O’Donnell

“Oh, Angelina Jolie…just to sit and stare at her, that would be a nice half-hour show.” ~ Carson Daly

“She’s courageous, she’s brave, she’s just taking on the world.” ~ Rosario Dawson

“I looked at her and thought, Could you get more beautiful?” ~ Gerard Butler

“I’d like to challenge Angelina Jolie in a game: I did Resident Evil, she did Lara Croft… I think in Hollywood we’re the only girls who know how to use a joystick.” ~ Milla Jovovich

“If I had to get someone I think Angelina Jolie would be worth it, she is really beautiful. She’s tough, yet sexy at the same time, which not a lot of people can do.” ~ Christina Aguilera [advising Britney Spears on who she should date]

“Someone who’s like Angelina Jolie because she isn’t scared of not being pretty,” Aguilera said. “She’s my favourtie actress. I’d love a role like the one she played in ‘Girl, Interrupted’, I’ve never met her.. I’d be so nervous! And star struck!” ~ Christina Aguilera [who she'd like to play her in a movie about her life]

“When I was younger I loved Betty Blue, and at the moment I’m completely besotted with Angelina Jolie. But sometimes I’m unnerved by the idea of men liking her. Because I think that there is a side to every man that really wants to watch a woman fall apart.” ~ Emma Forrest

“Angelina is the new Brando. She’s not comparable to any actress.” ~ Emma Forrest

“I would say at the moment the only person who could have played me this past year would have to be Angelina Jolie.” ~ Emma Forrest

“Angelina Jolie has been so inspirational to me, with all she’s doing in Cambodia.” ~ Jessica Simpson [speaking about fundraising for children]

“I think on her end it’s professional courtesy. On my head it might be something else.” ~ David Spade [on spending 10 minutes with Jolie]

“I’ve seen her onsreen and thought, ‘She’s proabbly one of the most beautiful women.’ Then I saw her in the flesh, and she’s even more beautiful.” ~ Gerard Butler

“If I was that beautiful I would make mywhole house in mirror the walls everything” -Kelly Clarkson

“Angelina Jolie is my favourite chick right now.
I’ve never met her actually. I’m to the point. I’d just let her know. ‘Yo, I need to holla at you, come see me in my hotel tonight.’
If I see her face-to-face I’ll let her known what it is. We need to get a fling going.” (Rapper Cam’ron)

“She’s very sexy - there’s just something about the way she moves. She’s like liquid.” (Denzel Washington)

“Angelina Jolie is so stunning that even camels, palm trees fall in love with her,even dead people would want to date her - she’s amazingly gorgeous”. (Val Kilmer)

” She’s ravishingly beautiful and never gets old and never gets boring ” (Ethan Hawke)

Jessica Simpson said: “Angelina is one of my biggest role models. I got to interview her recently. I didn’t know her at all, but just sitting in front of her, I felt this incredible peace.She was breathtaking. I couldn’t help but stare, but it’s her inner beauty that you really feel.”

Kate Beckinsale praised Jolie’s beauty, declaring, “I could have eaten her up with a spoon. She’s so gorgeous.”

Cruise film “Lions” a lamb at foreign box office Tue Nov 13, 5:37 AM ET

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Tom Cruise’s “Lambs” got slaughtered at the worldwide box office.

ADVERTISEMENT

The political drama “Lions for Lambs,” essentially an art-house project, adopted a blockbuster strategy by opening in 45 foreign markets and North America during the weekend. The plan misfired, with the film pulling in just $10.3 million from international theaters, and $6.7 million from North America, according to final sales data issued Monday.

Although Cruise is the big name and the film marks the first release from United Artists since he and business partner Paula Wagner took control of the dormant studio a year ago, UA executives are billing it as a Robert Redford vehicle, since the Hollywood veteran directed and co-stars. Meryl Streep is also part of the blue-ribbon lineup.

Facing mostly negative reviews, “Lambs” opened at No. 2 in both Spain ($2.2 million) and Australia ($857,000), at No. 5 in Germany ($999,000) and Brazil ($429,000), and at No. 6 in the U.K. ($1.4 million).

Industry experts said that despite the big marketing push and the huge stars involved, “Lambs” evidently did not attract its target upscale audience and failed to cross over to the general public.

Although “Lions for Lambs” was the top Hollywood entry overseas, it was crushed by two Bollywood films — “Om Shanti Om,” which claimed a $17 million opening in India, and “Saawariya,” which is said to have delivered $15.4 million from 13 markets, all but $1 million from India. (Additionally in North America, “Om Shanti Om” opened at No. 11 with $1.8 million, while “Saawariya” was No. 24 with $542,000.)

“Ratatouille,” the top overseas grosser for five weeks in row, came in second to “Lambs” in the English-speaking category, recording $9.1 million from 29 markets for a foreign total of $388.4 million.

Elsewhere, “El Orfanato” maintained the No. 1 spot in Spain for the fifth weekend in a row, generating $2.4 million for a market total to date of $29.1 million. In Italy, “Come Tu Mi Vuoi” opened at No. 1 with $3.2 million. Local films also dominated the market in Korea (”Le Grand Chef”) and Japan (”Sky of Love”). Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution” opened at No. 2 in Korea, pulling in about $1.8 million in its first three days.
