Angelina Jolie’s ‘Economist’ Article

Angelina Jolie’s ‘Economist’ Article

The Economist has published Angelina Jolie’s article for their annual spin-off issue, The World in 2008. CLICK HERE to read the full article.

In other news, Angelina Jolie’s adoption of daughter Zahara in July 2005 was completely legal, the agency involved said on Thursday.

Tabloids reported earlier this week that relatives of two-year-old Zahara, including a woman who says she is her birth mother, want the child returned to Ethiopia.

“The court in Addis Ababa approved the adoption after studying the document her grandmother wrote … saying her daughter, the mother of Zahara, had died and she was too poor to bring her up,” Tsegaye Berhe, the head of Wide Horizons for Children adoption agency told Reuters.

“The grandmother brought three witnesses to court who testified that Zahara’s mother had died and that her father was unknown … The court also investigated the social status of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt before approving the adoption. [The adoption was] legal and irrevocable. The controversy is media hype by unethical journalists exploiting the poverty of the grandmother.”

In other words, reporters paid the relatives to raise the dispute.


——————————————-

A year for accountability

Angelina Jolie, goodwill ambassador to the UNHCR, hopes for progress in bringing war criminals to justice

On a recent mission for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, I had the opportunity to visit a refugee camp in Chad just across the border with Sudan. Sitting with a group of refugees, I asked them what they needed. These were people who had seen family members killed, neighbours raped, their villages burned and looted, their entire communities driven from their land. So it was no surprise when people began listing the things that could improve their lives just a little bit. Better tents, said one; better access to medical facilities, said another. But then a teenage boy raised his hand and said, with powerful simplicity, “Nous voulons un procès.” We want a trial.

A trial might seem a distant and abstract notion to a young man for whom the inside of a courtroom is worlds away from the inside of a refugee camp. But his statement showed a recognition of something elemental: that accountability is perhaps the only force powerful enough to break the cycle of violence and retribution that marks so many conflicts.

I believe 2008 can be the year in which we begin seeking true accountability and demanding justice for the victims in Darfur and elsewhere. Through accountability we can begin the process of righting past wrongs, and even change the behaviour of some of the world’s worst criminals.

The international tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda have shown the way in convicting heads of state and generals for genocide and crimes against humanity. The UN-backed special court for Sierra Leone has already sentenced three former leaders of a pro-government militia to jail for war crimes committed during the country’s civil war in the 1990s.

In Cambodia, the joint UN-Cambodian court to try top former Khmer Rouge leaders with war crimes and crimes against humanity has begun calling witnesses. It has taken a long time to get even this far, but a trial is likely in 2008. In The Hague, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has begun trials of two of the Congolese leaders charged with fomenting killings and rapes amid the violence that has raged there for over a decade.

Make no mistake, the existence of these trials alone changes behaviour. Seeing the indictment of Thomas Lubanga and the detention of Germain Katanga by the ICC brought to mind a trip I had taken to Congo five years ago. In the Ituri region, where Mr Katanga’s reign of terror had been most intense, our group attended a meeting of rebel leaders. They had gathered in a field to discuss the prospects for a peace agreement—which were not looking very good. The conversation turned hostile and the situation grew extremely tense. At that point, one of my colleagues asked for the name of one of the rebels, announcing, perhaps a bit recklessly, that he was going to pass it along to the ICC.

It was remarkable: this rebel leader’s whole posture changed from aggression to conciliation. The ICC had been around for only five months. It had tried no one. Yet its very existence was enough to intimidate a man who had been terrorising the population for years.

Ending the cycle of violence

This is not an isolated example. Accountability has the potential to change behaviour, to check aggression by those who are used to acting with impunity. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the prosecutor of the ICC, has said that even genocide is not a crime of passion; it is a calculated decision. He is right. Common sense tells us that when risks are weighed, decisions are made differently. When crimes against humanity are punished consistently and severely, the killers’ calculus will change.

My hope is that these examples of justice in the name of accountability will be just a few of the many to come. 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 ICC, and that the teenager I met in Chad will get to see 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.

Only through justice will we achieve peace. And only when there is peace will the world’s nearly 39m displaced persons and refugees be able to return home.

The strong preying upon the weak and the weak, upon achieving strength, extracting retribution: this is the nature of so many of the world’s conflicts. The role of aggressor and victim may alternate over time, the tools of destruction may become more sophisticated, but little else changes.

Despite the horror I have seen in my travels, the hopeful lesson I take is that we can begin to put an end to the cycle of violence and retribution that gives rise to war criminals and sets forth floods of refugees. Let 2008 be the year in which we see the principle of accountability put into action.

Thanks JJ for the new thread. Love her and her family.

Tabloid writers make their living out of catering to Jolie-Pitt haters (”MiniVan majority”) who are so desperate for any bad news for Angie. There are no shortage of resentful and insecure women who take their own misery out on successful, beautiful and talented Angelina. HATERS are the ones who are exploiting the poor grandmother in Africa. Shame on you.

Thank you so much JJ for posting Angelina’s ‘Economist’ article.You are wonderful. Wow Angie all Beauty and Brain. Gotta love her!

# 9

Thanks JJ. It’s a great article.

What OutTouch did is discusting. I think your law makers have to something about the tabloids. They should be accountable for their lies. They playing with people, real people, with real lifes, and not fiction characters of their bad made up stories.

God, keep blessing and watching over the Jolie-Pitt family.

ANY TRUE JOLIE / PITTS FAN KNOWS THAT STORY ABOUT Z IS JUST BULL AND VICIOUS. I DID’T BELIEVE IT FOR ONE SECOND AND I AM FROM AFRICA. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE NEWS PAPER OR TABS USED THOSE TWO INDIVIDUALS JUST TO WRITE A VERY VICIOUS REPORT ABOUT THIS FAMILY.
JUST LIKE PEOPLE MAG MANY MORE TABS AND NEWS AGENCIES ARE GOING TO START APPOLOGIZING TO THIS FAMILY AND STOP WRITING FALSE AND VICIOUS REPORTS.

GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY.

In Touch magazine SUCKS!!! How low can you sink? B@stards.
However, WAY TO GO ANGIE! WOW! I’m so proud to be your fan, you go, girl!

LIKE ALL CONTROVERSY SURRONDING HER

The controversy is media hype by unethical journalists exploiting the poverty of the grandmother

An article in The Economist is fantastic. Go, Angelina! Please let those vultures at In Touch magazine go unnoticed.

~*~Get Real~*~ @ 11/15/2007 at 1:52 pm

i never believe any of the bull that is written in those tabs. i come here for all my info. if it aint on just jared then it aint worth reading. IMO

where are the kiddies? haven’t seen them in a long time. im starting to miss them.

Thanks for reiterating the adoption facts Jared. I had read them along time ago, but couldn’t refind them.
Great article.

Thanks JJ for the new thread and helping to stop the lies. Hello to all fans!! Haven’t been on in awhile but always support the JP’s! :)

We don’t believe anything from tabloids , particularly when it comes to Brad and Angie.Don’t buy any tabloid magazine anymore.

She has a complete life doesn’t she?

Good article in a good magazine.

I forgot to say thanks, JJ. Most people won’t even know this exists but we all know and it’s on JJ. That’s what counts.

IS THERE NO DECENCY? NOT WITH TABLOIDS THEY’LL DO ANYTHING TO SELL A STORY UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE KEEP BUYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH THE CONTINUE SALES OF THEIR MAGAZINES BOUGHT BY OUR FELLOW CITIZENS. IT WILL ONLY STOP IF WE THE PUBLIC DEMAND IT TO STOP BY NOT PURCHASING THEIR MAGAZINES.

Tabloids always want to sell blood money. Don’t believe everything you read. JUST JAREd is the only true source with regards to AJ and BP, and they don’t trash other celebrities too. AJ and BP are kind and generous people who wants to help and raise unfortunate children. These children who’s been adopted by wealthy people are lucky and very fortunate, I’m sure these children will be thankful and grateful that they are choosen. So shut your nasty big mouth if you don’t have nothing good to say. They will always find or invent something to ruined a good relationship because they don’t have one.

Boycott tabloids

Hello to all BAMPZS Fans :-)

Angie just keeps on doing what she believes in trying to fight the injustice around the world and try to make a difference while the others worry about her split pants or questioning her LEGAL adoption of Zee. Now who is pathetic and looks like a fool?????

I am so proud of Angie. She’s not only beautiful or talented but extremely intelligent. She’s one in a million.

Thanks JJ for the new thread.

Have a great day ladies.

A GOOD AND HOPEFUL ARTICLE

something @ 11/15/2007 at 2:02 pm

don’t really care for aj and brad too much…. BUT that said.. in no way should that child be removed from them. they seem to be good parents and that is what matters most.
that is their child and to have even the thought out there that its not is just wrong. money hungry people will always try to bring drama into rich peoples lives/

do you guys think she’ll write another book?

Thank you for this Jared. It’s greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks Jared for the new thread.

Angie did a great job with the article in The Economist and I am so proud to be her fan. Keep on doing what you do Angie, because the truth will always come to light.

IT Mag is pond scrum and hopefully they will finally get what they deserved.

LOVE THIS WOMAN.

Thanks, Jared, not only for Angie’s wonderful article, but clearing up the tab lies about Z’s adoption!! I like how you summed it up about the unethical journalists: “In other words, reporters paid the relatives to raise the dispute.”

Jared thanks for posting that article and clarifying about Zee’s adoption.

totally.

It’s called Karma. She was rude about Madonna and now it comes back to her! She should have defended Madonna when she knew the press was against her and she knows how hard adoptions can be. But instead she was nasty. Now looks what is happening! I am sure that Z will want to see her real grandparent someday. Whether or not the adoption is legal bio parents and grandparents should always have rights to a child. Angie should take that child to see them.

Perhaps Angie should have offered this family the thousands she is spending on this child to help support the family and keep this baby. Babies as much as possible belong with their brith family.

jj you are the best,outa touch are a bunch of bas*ards,i hope the get what they derserve for all the lies and made up ****

Here we have an example of two extremes: Angelina Jolie educating herself and trying to make a positive difference in the world and the tabloid press showing the depths of their cruelty and dishonesty.

It takes courage and strength to look at suffering and atrocity and still be positive about the world and our potential.

What qualities can be attributed to someone who deviously contrives a story suggesting that a little girl should be separated from her legal and loving parents????!! They are so disgusting.

I knew all a long that was a bunch of bull coming from In Touch I’m glad a reputable organization told the truth about the manner. I loved Angelina’s article in the Economist.

Yes, it’s called Karma. Tabloids were proven wrong. Since you are just a hater who doens’t have any concern for Zahara anyway, let me give you some news. If Zahara belonged to her family, she won’t belong anywhere today, except in her little grave. Of course, you can’t care less about that, do you.

OMG! Now the tabs are bringing their kids into this. What, no more break-up and fighting news on AJ & BP. They should be ashame of themselves. This is truly disgusting and shameful.

About the article. BRAVO Angie1!! Good job

originaltruth @ 11/15/2007 at 2:19 pm

#36 What came back to her? That the adoption is final and irrevocable? Keep up with the good works Angie and God will continue to bless you.

YAY!!!!!!11 I can just see her running to Brad all giddy like the cutie she is, waving the magazine and telling him see, I’m not just an actress you know!”

Squeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s Brad’s ‘Baby Doll” everyone.

Congrats to one of the hardest working & passionate young women.

Love her.

You think someone should lose their child because they were allegedly ruse to Madonna? That is psycho sick. Angelina wasn’t rude or nasty and she apologized for her assessment of Madonna’s adoption but it looks like she was right given the problems Madonna and Guy Ritchie have had finalizing the adoption of David — a child with a living parent and yet you seem fine with Madonna taking him out of the country away from his father and not visit since. Madonna is probably afraid if she takes David to see his family the authorities won’t let leave again. Since you are so adamant about babies needing to stay with their birth parents where is your criticism of Madonna?

African Girl @ 11/15/2007 at 2:20 pm

And THIS right here is why is Jared is a stand up guy! How many blogs have the REAL Adoption Story up? I’m willing to bet the answer is a big fat Zero… yet they fall all over themselves printing the lies. At this point, anyone who still believes anything from the Tabs needs to be committed…honestly.

Thank you very much Jared…You are the best.

A big hello to all JP & JJ fans. MF…it’s good to see you posting again (was on the last thread and saw you lovely handiwork)

is on yahoo news,hopefully people will read it,and not buy outa touch mag tommorrow,this made my day,truth always comes out,as for sam,you are a stupid fool,not worth our reply

I don't get it @ 11/15/2007 at 2:22 pm

I don’t understand why these tabloids are trying so hard to break them up. If they are not together, how are these tabloids going to continue to make money off of them?

of course tabloids using for media attention, because brad and angie & family are the well known hollywood superstar right now. once you mention angie and brad in your article, media notice right away. you guys, all the real people who has been following this couple, since the beginning of their unique relationship who love them, don’t let the bad tabloids going inside of your brain. I’ve been buying all magazines before, but when I found out that it all lies, I never buy the tabloid magazines since then. I only buy certain Magazine now, like People and Hello. Angie and Brad are the remarkable holywood star right now, I am starting to notice, matt,cheadle,leo for his passion towards the environment,Clooney(but I not totally yet), all the holywood star who is doing a great job helping other people, epecially the unfortunate, I applauded you all and I promise to support your movie by every movie you make, together we work better and make the world a better place to live. Hopefully, people doesn’t know anything will wake up and see the real truth and nothing but the real truth what is going on the world that we living in right now. Hope this will help to everybody, and stop writing nonsense and stupid accusation to someone you don’t even know. thanks jared for this oppurtunity!

originaltruth @ 11/15/2007 at 2:24 pm

All the tabloid lies backfired this week, didn’t they?

Something occured to me yesterday with People retracting the “split pant” story. The story made it on the radio and I’d heard it for three days straight in their entertainment reports. They even had a “Call in and tell us if you’ve ever had it happen to you” segment. I haven’t heard anything on the station about the fact that the story was false. That means that millions of listeners probably still believe that Angie split her pants. It’s not a big deal, but that means that millions of trash readers will believe In Touch’s story, as vile as it is, because it’s now in circulation. All the rags should be shut down if they’re going to sink this low. They shouldn’t be allowed to freely attack children like this. It’s absolutely disgusting! The media medium right now is scary, but THANK YOU ANGIE FOR WRITING WORTHWHILE ARTICLES.

I think its a generally well thought out article, the vocabulary is a little elementary (meaning it will be less likely to appeal to ir scholars or theorists, what have you) but the intention was there. I wish she would have used more facts, though…just to cover all the bases. At least she cared enough to take the time out to write the article. And it would be nice to see the ICC actually DO something :)

It’s sad isn’t it…that instead of taking a page out of AJ’s book and do something worthy, these INSECURE women wait anxiously for her to fail.

54,yes,all the tabloid lies backfired,guys lets send it to other blogs

Shame on you, unethical journalists! I stopped buying tabloids long ago. Not a good example. Very misleading and truly pathetic that they still lie to try and ruin Angelina. The girl is amazing and continues doing great things, not only for her children and Pitt but for the other people in the world! I read and love her article. More power to her.

Accountability will be perfect to end all this unfairness attitude. Thanks Jared

Sam got all exited that didn’t read the statement from the adopcion agency lol

Angie was NOT at all rude in her comments about Madonna. Of course if you only read the tabloid account of what she said you might get that idea. She was asked about the adoption, and said:
about her supposed quotes in a french magazine..

“The article included many falsehoods,” Jolie said in a statement on Monday. “I said many positive things that were omitted. I feel we must focus on the present and I encourage everyone to be supportive so that every child can adjust nicely to their new home.”

In an interview in Gala magazine, Jolie, 31, said of Madonna and her efforts to adopt 1-year-old David Banda: “Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where (David) was born. It’s a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.”

But Jolie, whose son Maddox, 5, and Zahara, who turned 2 on Monday, are from Cambodia and Ethiopia, respectively, has sympathy for the singer. “I have been horrified by the attacks she’s been subjected to,” she says. “All that should count is the happiness of her little David.”
———————————————————————–
BTW, are you aware that Z was extremely sick when Angie adopted her? She would be most likely DEAD now if not adopted. but that isnt important to you is it..not as important as criticizing Angelina.

ITAWY, Besane.

As the old adages goes….

Women are our own worst enemy. And it’s so true!

GladGladGlad @ 11/15/2007 at 2:33 pm

At least AJ is oblivious to most of this stuff. I remember at LA premiere of O13 some one of the TV airhead entertainment show hostesses said “oh we heard about the poem pendant Brad designed for you birthday blahblahblah” and Angelina had the most dead blank look on her face I’ve ever seen and said “I don’t know about that I got something else very sweet.” She really blocks this stuff out! I bet the Zahara mess eeked through ********!

lets make it ignore the trolls day,am tire of people like sam

Mr and Mrs Smith @ 11/15/2007 at 2:40 pm

You know what I really LOVE? That NEITHER Angie nor Brad or any of their representatives made a comment about the Zahara story. Instead, the Ethiopian adoption agency is the one which made the official statement. I think OutTouch was expecting them to respond in some way, but, they must be somewhat disappointed that once again, their target isn’t paying them any attention.

65 GladGladGlad : 11/15/2007 at 2:33 pm

============================================

During Angie’s latest promotion for the movie ‘Beowulf’, Angie said that friends tell her what’s being written. So I am sure that she and Brad were told about the latest round of lies about Zahara’s adoption. I bet even Cindy G. got calls about it, too.

When it comes to the children it’s a whole different ballgame where Angie and Brad are concern. It’s one thing to lie about them and another to lie about their children.

I don’t think it’s the Mini Van majority who reads these tabloids. They are into Martha & Oprah & Colin Cowie, Tiffany charm bracelets and having a Danielle Steele novel life.

The people that read these seem to be lower income women (no disrespect) who thrive on misery. Then they can feel smug at the negative news and feel some sort of hollow satisfaction that even “these” people have problems. Pathetic….

I am sure that Z will want to see her real grandparent someday. Whether or not the adoption is legal bio parents and grandparents should always have rights to a child. Angie should take that child to see them. ________________________________________________________________

1) Angie was in no way rude towards Madonna.

2) Why should the birth family always have rights? When you think about it, blood doesn’t really mean much. Angelina and Brad are Zahara’s parents and they are her family now. End of story. I think taking her to see her bio family at such a young age would do more harm than good. When she’s old enough, she can decide on her own whether or not she wants to meet her bio family.

Angie is a truly remarkable human being. I am so proud to be her fan.
She’s smart, articulate and passionate of her cause. I can’t think of anyone in hollywood past or present that has achieved the worldwide status as she does right now. She’s in a different league that is hard to fathom the thought is there anyone else can top her? I admire her conviction. She is a true icon today and forever. I love you, Angie.

Angelina should keep the baby. It is hers legally. One question though: why is Zahara’s grandmother in poverty? Why don’t Brad and Angelina financially support her? Just like David Banda’s father. How can celebrities adopt poor kids and live with the fact that tehir kin is living in poverty? This is the tricky part of adoption. Angelina should support the grandmother. It is Zahara’s bloodline.

tino tonatini @ 11/15/2007 at 2:54 pm

Brad pitt still the good looking guy! I don’t see much change on him for people calling him he looks old I bet the differ…

that is why there are so much problem right now, because of the bad media, and of course mostly people are buying this magazines are people who doesn’t know the real about anything. What the media write on their magazines that we read, we absulotely believe them right away. The educated people never buy this magazine because they are smart and know the truth. But most of the people are uneducated like me, if you don’t seek the truth, real truth will not come to you. to make it short, support only the thruth and ignore the lies and try to educate yourself by seeking the truth. like angie, if you read her story, she did not see the truth till she went to Cambodian to shoot her Tom Raider Movie. That’s the first time she saw those Refugees people. What did she do after that?, she phoned the United Nation right away and talked to them that she want to work with the UN. Please, don’t let lies ruin your time, time is running. Each of us, think what we can contribute to this world before we go back to mother earth. don’t just waste your time and energy, try to accomplish something nice and if you do after that it feel really satisfying. Thanks!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

IA. I think that is why all the tabs spin these far out stories. They want a direct response from Brad/Angie or there rep. It is the only way to get a quote from Angie or Brad. The tabs know that they don’t have any sources to what is going on in t hat relationship and they hate it, so they bash them in hopes of a reaction. Sort of like the trolls that come here. They says things like Angie doesn’t like Shilo or Brad is the worst thing to every happen to Angie. Everyone knows these things are ridiculous including the trolls but they say them to get a reaction from the fans.

i hate E,but today they did a good thing by printing the truth about Z,i still hate them

69- WTF -
I’m not taking offense to your comment, but I AM a lower income woman. I’ve actually never had a whole lot of money, even growing up. However, I never thrived on misery and I’m very thankful for all I have today. I’m not envious of wealthier people. I think the people who ACTUALLY BELIEVE the trash mags are people who are easily influenced and don’t ask questions. I, and all the fans here, have enough of a brain not to believe it and to get informed.

wow, beauty and brains…and most of all big heart and lovely soul…that’s Angelina Jolie, and that’s why she is among the people who inspire me the most.

Angie, your transformation over the years gives me hope that people can change for the better and become their very best.

When are they gonna start SUING the TABLOID MAGAZINES???

I know that Angie and Brad always prove the tablies wrong, but when are they gonna start suing them? This time, they paid the poor relatives of their daughter Z to raise a dispute! Very wrong!

You know what.. I don’t blame the so called family members who are saying that they want Zahara returned, I blame the “reporters” who went there and offered these people money to say these things. Those people are very poor so of course they would do that for money, it’s just sad that people would take advantage of people who are so desperate……. Shame on them!

econo-people @ 11/15/2007 at 3:01 pm

Who gives a shite what Angelina Jolie thinks about Sudan?
The Economist is turning into People magazine.

I’d rather hear from Judge Mrs. Akua KUENYEHIA (Ghana)
Professor Kuenyehia was elected for a nine-year term from the African Group of States, and is assigned to the Pre-Trial Division.

She was Dean, Faculty of Law of the University of Ghana before her election as a judge. During her time at that university, she taught criminal law, gender and the law, international human rights law and public international law.

She was co-ordinator of a research project entitled “Women and Law in Anglophone West Africa”, which covered Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and The Gambia. She has written three books and numerous academic publications on gender and the law, family law and international human rights.

Judge Kuenyehia is a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Ghana. She has experience as solicitor, advocate and human rights expert, and in criminal law and procedure. She also has experience as an administrator and has expertise in gender and the law, international human rights issues and was a member of the Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

It would be nice if Angelina gave the poor grandmother a stipend every month. If Brad and Angelina are millionaires then their daughter’s grandma should not be poor.

Thank you Jared!!! What a great article. Amazing out of all the things that poor child needs phyiscally he wants justice and I don’t blame him.

So Angelina and Brad, just because they have money, have to suport every family member of the children they adopted? That’s stupid.

Angelina and Brad adopted a child in a orphanage. They don’t know nor adopted the children family member and they don’t have any obligations towards them.

Angelina does not need to support the Grandmother. She adopted Zahara not the family. Love Zee. She is beautiful. Angie rocks!

“The court in Addis Ababa approved the adoption after studying the document her grandmother wrote … saying her daughter, the mother of Zahara, had died and she was too poor to bring her up,” Tsegaye Berhe, the head of Wide Horizons for Children adoption agency told Reuters.

“The grandmother brought three witnesses to court who testified that Zahara’s mother had died and that her father was unknown … The court also investigated the social status of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt before approving the adoption. [The adoption was] legal and irrevocable. The controversy is media hype by unethical journalists exploiting the poverty of the grandmother.”

In other words, reporters paid the relatives to raise the dispute.

This needs to be posted every ten posts.

Jared this is one of your best threads about the JPs. You are the only CELEBRETY blog in cyberspace who reports this kind of worth reading news. All the others are just about drugs, alcohol and break-downs.

I applauded you!!

I always knew that press in general was intentionally misleading even in global issues but before starting blogging I never knew that this kind of viciousness which is full of pure lies and false accusations can be printed in a publication. I don’t give a sh*t if it’s a tabloid or not. NONE should get away with such cruel behavior. Cause this is not only about a celebrity. It is not about who had plastic surgery or who gained too much weight or who is dating whom. This is about ADOPTION and the life of a CHILD.

People who are not informed can be easily manipulated. Can this people think a little aside from their paychecks?? Don’t they have kids or relatives who have kids?? How it would be like if they were in Brad’s and Angie’s shoes?? How it would be like if THEY had adopted a child and someone was writting that the adoption is illegal with no proof or facts?? How would they feel??

The one who wrote this article and the one who runs this piss of trash needs to be charged. This is not freedom of speech. This is a crime against adoption. And an attack against a little child.

This world is so f*cked up.

Thank God I’m still young and I MUST have some hope. I’m not waiting for miracles but this sh*t needs to stop.

All the blessings to Angie, Brad and their little ones.

MADDOX's MUG SHOT @ 11/15/2007 at 3:06 pm

AFTER ONLY 5 MONTHS TOGETHER, ANGIE & BRAD DECIDED TO ADOPT A CHILD? Why else would the Ethiopian Adoption Agency have to examine the relationship between her and BRAD PITT? Since Jennifer Anniston filed for divorce in March 2005 and Zahara was adopted in July 2005, that would mean, if we are to believe them that they did not start the relationship until after the divorce papers were filed, that they were together ONLY 5 MONTHS! If this is the case, then that would also mean that THESE 2 CLOWNS HAVE THE WORST JUDGEMENT EVER AND SHAME ON THE ETHIOPIAN ADOPTION INVESTIGATORS!

I personally adopted a boy in California of Cambodian descent and the paperwork that we went through were so rigorous to make everything right. Tabloids want to make money out of Brad and Angie. Poor writers they are running out of material.

guys i have send alot lot of emails to the lying blogs and outa touch,lets keep sending them

#40- Angelnia and Brad are both Americans and they most certainly know the meaning of adoption. If you want to insult Sam fine, but don’t drag all of us Yanks in to it.

Sounds like you’re describing an arrangement a la a Charles Dickens novel or fcuking Citizen Kane, or indentured servitude, none of which applies to Zahara’s situation.

Zahara is Brad and Angelina’s child; their offering payola for Zahara is sleazy and fcuking unnecessary.

would you STFU about this? Marie Osmond has three adopted children should she or any other person who has adopted since Biblical times be supporting the “kin” instead of adopting them?

You wrote a wonderfull post!!

Reason;

Are you guys saying that blood doesn’t mean much! WOW that is quite the statement. Blood relatives are very important. Are you saying that blood grandparents should not be allowed to see their grandchildren if they are adopted? They have every right. Yes maybe these people want to make money but won’t you if you were living in poverty and the person who took your child probably spends more on their toys then you will have in a lifetime? Really these people probably even read and gave up this child because they were scared. Let’s see how much compassion Angei really has towards those in this situation. If she has any she will arrange for them to meet.

She won’t though because she couldn’t care less. Was the adoption legal. Oh yeah it was buyt that doesn’t mean it was moral,

It would be nice if Angelina gave the poor grandmother a stipend every month. If Brad and Angelina are millionaires then their daughter’s grandma should not be poor.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
she didn’t want the kid, why would brad and angelina pay her? that’s insane.

She gave Z to an adoption agency, that’s how it end their relationship with them.

#52 I Don’t Get It : Of course the tabs want the JP’s to break-up. Think of all the spin the tabs can get out of it - why? who? where? when? what’s Mad got to do with it? did Z in anyway turn Brad and Angie against each other? what about Pax? how did he stick his fingers into it? poor poor Shiloh - abandoned by her evil mom at such a young age - how’s she to cope! will she turn into another Britney Spears as a result of this?

And this is only the tip of the tabloid iceberg!!! Think of the years and years of spin as the kids grow up and the parents grow older - Angie an old hag…how Brad takes pity on her…and take her out for a motorcycle ride for old time sake! Kids in rehab…who’s to blame?

Sheeesh.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not really.

I am just saying: Angelina is aware the grandmother is poor and is aware of her existence so why noto help her financially. If she did not know of her existgence then there is no one to help but how couild you enjoy Zahara everyday and yet know her grandmother is poor as dirt and not help her? Same with Madonna. You adopt the man’s son yet you know the man is dirt poor and do nothing for it? People like that should adopt kids whose families they do not know but if you are aware of the family’s existence then at least buy her a house or something to help her live her old days. At least Zahara can have someone to visit when she is an adult. The grandmother is responsible for Zahara being here so help her. That is all. What is so hard about that?

When the poseur lost the prince to a real princess, they were back to being the mediocre who somehow just got lucky once and never will again. Cinderella’s coach turned back into a pumpkin and she’s back in the kitchen scrubbing floors and talking to rats. They will forever hate Angie for that.

Angelina should keep the baby. It is hers legally. One question though: why is Zahara’s grandmother in poverty? Why don’t Brad and Angelina financially support her? Just like David Banda’s father. How can celebrities adopt poor kids and live with the fact that tehir kin is living in poverty? This is the tricky part of adoption. Angelina should support the grandmother. It is Zahara’s bloodline.

um
Excuse me but.. most children adopted in the US are NOT orphans. Many are poor or in some ways not equipped to provide for a child. Should all celebs and americans who adopt from this country also provide for the bio families? this is crazy. You will be having people getting pregnant just so they can be taken care of economically.

Why is Z’s grandmother in Poverty???? You obviously need to do some reading about the problems and hardships of other countries.

News outlets, including Us Weekly, reported that Angelina Jolie’s black Versace pants split on the red carpet at the London premiere of Beowulf November 11.

Though a seam appeared to be split in photos, her stylist Jen Rade tells Usmagazine.com it was a zipper.

In fact, Rade says Jolie “even wore the pants home on the plane.”

First of all, Jennifer Aniston is stunning and was declared the woman who sells the most magazines. Number two, I agree, Angelina should give the family money. If it was Jennifer, she would do it. She has a heart. I would imagine that is why Jen won’t adopt: because she knows she would rather not take a kid away from their Grandma without paying their Grandma some money. Instead, Jen gives money to St Jude’s. Poor Angelina, she does not know better. But she tries.

sbc,that will look like they are paying for the baby,this two have done so much,if we cannot support them we should let them be,am from Africa i know how wide spread poverty is and how horrible the orphanages are,these women are given us Africans a bad name,she should be greatful that z is healthy and happy,z could have had childhood diseases or died of malnutrition,brad and angie should be praised.let me assure you that am sure majority of people are not greedy as those people,you can be poor but still have some dignity,they spoiling it for other babies who need adoiptive parents

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

Angelina adopted Zahara as a single parent and made that very clear at the time. Brad went to Ethiopia as a friend. Maddox was on the trip as well. Brad wasn’t with her when she was united with Zahara. There is no provision in Ethiopian adoption law for unmarried couples to adopt. In fact, most countries with international adoption programs don’t allow adoption AS A COUPLE if you aren’t legally married.

110 sbc : 11/15/2007 at 3:18 pm

Why just the grandmother? Why not the ants, the uncles, the cousins… hell the all family. That is stupid.

Brad and Angie adopted a child, not the all family.

People do have a lot to say from the sidelines when this particular couple adopt.

Zahara would not be here had she not been adopted.She would have died, according to the doctor. Isn’t it hypocritical to talk about blood relatives and scrutiny of Brad and Angelina when this vibrant little girl would have died?

The true test of her birth family’s love is in their being happy that she was saved from that situation and is now healthy and part of a loving family.

think positive! @ 11/15/2007 at 3:30 pm

It doesn’t take just blood and sperm to be a parent. Blood is not everything. There are parents out there who abuse their children daily. Should I call them parents because of sharing the same blood??

Some people are really confused.

As Brad said:

“My kids are my blood as much as any natural born. I can’t live without them”

It takes great strength and courage to raise a child that is not related to you. And it takes to work hard daily to be a parent. It’s the unconditional love and the commitment. Not just blood.

#124

Jen was declared the woman who sells more magazines based on how she sells tabloids. And jen won’t adopt because she is selfish. If she had a heart..she would want to take a child into her home who might otherwise DIE…and since Jen is worth 110 Million dollars.. she must really also be greedy based on what YOU think because if not, she would adopt and give money to the bio family. Right?

Zahara was Brad’s first daughter. I don’t know why but the haters can’t stand it.

Econo-people - I think you’re losing sight of the point here - the point is to spread the word about the atrocities in Darfur. Wonderful as Judge Mrs. Akua KUENYEHIA may be, do you think that the typical person would go out of his way to seek out her article? As evidenced by the number of people who have now read Angelina’s article and consequently learned about Darfur, she was very successful in spreading the word. So what if it was an actress who wrote it? So what if she’s no scholar? Does that make her any less compassionate; does that give her less of a right to feel that she has to say something about the genocide? And if ordinary people like me read Angelina’s article and as a result seek out more information, maybe even Judge Mrs. Akua KUENYEHIA’s work, then didn’t Angelina fulfil her purpose? Sad to say, it’s your elitist attitude that turn a lot of people off.

what is it about the word adoption that no one understands?
adoption = give up all rights to a child forever and beyond. The world & the law doesn’t look too kindly to people appearing out of the woodworks and claiming anyone. This is ridiculous. People are acting like they don’t know what adoption is now. Lawd hammersy.

He’s probably the only blog to do that, but, he’s always been different from the rest. So, I guess there are two topics people can discuss, the adoption one, and the article that Angie wrote. :)

TABLOIDS, WE’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE JOLIE PITTS LIES. PLEASE MOVE ON!!!!

a high school or college student could have written that had they the ability and/or finances to travel and do the proper research….not to mention, the special access that she was granted to these people because of her status. seriously, pull yourselves back and look at this without bias. it’s wonderful that she takes the time to care and contribute but…..come on. this is not the work of a genius or even a person of impressive intellect. had a “no name” contributed this piece, it never would have been even seriously considered for publication….

Jen didn’t want a child nor want to adopt a child. Too much responsibility for her being a selfish, lazy woman. And she hardly does anything for St. Jude’s… As for stunning, I’d seen other women look better.

piper, with a low @ 11/15/2007 at 3:50 pm

I forgot to comment on the article… it is great, but as I read it, I can’t help but think that although the refugees are in a decidedly drastic circumstance, in terms of seeking out justice, Angelina, despite having major bank, is also in a precarious situation when it comes to seeking fairness for herself and her family.

If she were to go after the tabs, how would that look? Suing over flyspecks, although this b^ll$hit about Zahara and Shiloh is especially nasty, could magnify how out of touch and frivolous the Western world can be.

Our country has made Angelina very wealthy, but really, our country hasn’t been very good to her, has it? Many of us criticize her from sun up to sun down and yet, she really hasn’t done anything to compromise our safety, our well-being, or our quality of life.

155 piper, with a low - Well said.

wake up Americans @ 11/15/2007 at 3:55 pm

TABLOID HAVE GONE BEYOND BEING TRASHY, THEY ARE DOWNRIGHT EVIL!

Sam - While I agree with you that blood families are not necessarily ‘not important’, my humble opinion is that you are seeing this case in a black and white situation. Adoption carries with it a lot of issues that cannot be put in a simple equation as ‘birth families have rights, therefore adopted families should respect those rights.’

When Z’s grandmother gave her up for adoption, she was giving up any legal rights to her grandchild. Did that make her a bad grandmother? Not necessarily. She most probably did do it out of extreme poverty. Does she really want to see her grand daughter again? She most probably does, and I feel for her pain, but adoption is not about her. It’s mostly about the child.

From what I can tell, Angie and Brad are very loving parents, and any decision they make will be for the best interest of their child, as they see fit, just like any good parents. It’s possible that they feel that at this stage in Z’s life, she should have stability, and therefore bringing in someone whom she probably doesn’t even remember would create that imbalance. Maybe they would prefer that Z face this when she is much older, and able to decide on her own if she wants to do it or not. Does Z want to see her grandmother? Maybe.. or maybe not. She’s too young to really decide.

These are all speculations on my part, much as any other scenario anyone else outside this family unit would have (including your own speculations as to why they’re not doing it). Bottomline is, there is no ‘one size fits all’ answer when it comes to issues like this. It’s a judgment call that Angie and Brad reserve the right as Z’s parents - and yes, they ARE her parents. And again, as far as I call tell, they adore and love Z, and would not do anything that they feel would not be in her best interest. As to whether they are right or wrong in their decision, that’s neither for me nor you to judge.

Don’t quite understand your guys excitment over bewolf. The success of this movie has nothing to do with angelina. She is in it for 6 minutes. Any naked hollywood beauty could have the same effect. The only difference is that most of them (i.e. halle berry, etc.) would never do this kind of thing. Also the world has shown in AMH and The Good shepherd that they really don’t like seeing Angie’s movies. Angie was out promoting so hard becuase she is desperate for a lead oscar the others were happy do have her do it becuase they don’t like the spotlight like she does. She loves showing off just like when she was with Billy Bob. In fact she is acting the exact same way!

But go ahead I know that you guys think that if the movie does well it is all about Angie. I understand you have to live in your delusion it hard to admit that The Good Shepherd, AMH and AOJJ all BOMBED badly. So if you want to think that the movie’s success is becuase of Angie I understand!

I love messing with you guys. It is so fun and you get so worked up!!!!!

I understand MAMS, its just that by discussing it IT is getting the desired effect. They print lies to cause a major uproar so that people can discus their nonsense and maybe give them hits. This is some sort of emotional black mail, they knew what they wrote was wrong but since they have no shame to use a child to make money they keep doing it. I just dont feel like giving them a reason to write this again by discussing it till kingdom come.

News outlets, including Us Weekly, reported that Angelina Jolie’s black Versace pants split on the red carpet at the London premiere of Beowulf November 11.

Though a seam appeared to be split in photos, her stylist Jen Rade tells Usmagazine.com it was a zipper.+

Zahara was Brad’s first daughter. I don’t know why but the haters can’t stand it.

You are so spot on with this statement. I have always wonder, why it bothers trolls/haters so much that Brad loves all his children no matter how they came to be his. But there does seems to more hatred when it comes to Zahara, IMO.

I forgot to comment on the article… it is great, but as I read it, I can’t help but think that although the refugees are in a decidedly drastic circumstance, in terms of seeking out justice, Angelina, despite having major bank, is also in a precarious situation when it comes to seeking fairness for herself and her family.

If she were to go after the tabs, how would that look? Suing over flyspecks, although this b^ll$hit about Zahara and Shiloh is especially nasty, could magnify how out of touch and frivolous the Western world can be.

Our country has made Angelina very wealthy, but really, our country hasn’t been very good to her, has it? Many of us criticize her from sun up to sun down and yet, she really hasn’t done anything to compromise our safety, our well-being, or our quality of life.

*****************
What a brilliant way to connect both issues. It’s sad people like Sam can’t see past their hate and try to put things in perspective (based on reality…that is)

I am just saying: Angelina is aware the grandmother is poor and is aware of her existence so why noto help her financially. If she did not know of her existgence then there is no one to help but how couild you enjoy Zahara everyday and yet know her grandmother is poor as dirt and not help her? Same with Madonna. You adopt the man’s son yet you know the man is dirt poor and do nothing for it? People like that should adopt kids whose families they do not know but if you are aware of the family’s existence then at least buy her a house or something to help her live her old days. At least Zahara can have someone to visit when she is an adult. The grandmother is responsible for Zahara being here so help her. That is all. What is so hard about that?

When the haters/trolls/tabs learn? Pant split has been debunked. Not true. Brad and tall blond. Not true. Zahara leaving her loving and happy home. Not only not true, but it will never happen.

Some people fans?, haters? are fond of saying that Brad doesn’t protect Angie against the tabs and their lies. We don’t know that he doesn’t. But one thing is for certain he doesn’t have to because the truth always comes out. There are people around the world that will support her/them, and not allow a lie to smear their good names. This couple, whether some what to believe it or not have done, or are trying to do things the right way. From Brad’s split with the x to adopting their children, to their humanitarian work someone is helping and guiding them. So much has been hurled at them. But very little, if any has stuck. And still haters come to spew vile and negative rants. How much more proof do you need to see that they are not the monsters you so badly need them to be. Please it is time for you and your hate to move on. I can only hope and pray that the next revelation is the x telling the truth and apologizing for all of her lies. Now that will be a glorious and happy day for all BAMPZS fans around the world. Peace

86 econo-people : 11/15/2007 at 3:01 pm

Who gives a shite what Angelina Jolie thinks about Sudan?
The Economist is turning into People magazine.

I’d rather hear from Judge Mrs. Akua KUENYEHIA (Ghana)
Professor Kuenyehia was elected for a nine-year term from the African Group of States, and is assigned to the Pre-Trial Division.

She was Dean, Faculty of Law of the University of Ghana before her election as a judge. During her time at that university, she taught criminal law, gender and the law, international human rights law and public international law.

She was co-ordinator of a research project entitled “Women and Law in Anglophone West Africa”, which covered Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and The Gambia. She has written three books and numerous academic publications on gender and the law, family law and international human rights.

Judge Kuenyehia is a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Ghana. She has experience as solicitor, advocate and human rights expert, and in criminal law and procedure. She also has experience as an administrator and has expertise in gender and the law, international human rights issues and was a member of the Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
================================

I appreciate you giving the credentials of Judge Kuenyehia. I have only respect for a person who works diligently to improve the circumstances of her people. I also respect the fact that you may not like Angelina. Everyone has their own choice to make. However, I do not feel that Angelina’s article is about pitting the opinions of one person against another person. These are 2 separate people with their own experiences and unique situations. To my way of thinking they bring diverse variety of ways to view the same situation. There is room for everyone to participate in this issue. Indeed if we are to be successful it is imperative that as many people as possible who are dedicated to improving the situation in Darfur and Africa join the cause.
Please pay attention to the message, and don’t be distracted about your personal feelings about the messager. I do not have a problem with dialog and debate, these are essential if a solution is to be found for the atrocities experienced by these refugees on a daily basis. This is the most important thing after all.

The truth ALWAYS wins out in the end. Patience, patience.

okay lets go over this again, someone from INTOUCH woke up one day and said how am I gonna F**k up the Jolie-Pitts today??? oh wait I will go all the way to Africa to find Zee’s relatives,pay to say the mother is not dead and wants her back!!!
wheeewww!!! tragic that some people play with other people’s lives like this and the good part about this is that Brad and Angie love their child and will fight tooth and nail for her.
Angelina is a good person some people just cant’ stand that they always create stories about her, a similar thing happened when she adopted Maddox a few years back .the orphanage is doing all the talking, thats good and haters can only try!!!!

As various neanderthals show how ugly they are to the world, Angelina continues to shine above all. She’s just living her life. Anyone who doesn’t like it, tough. it’s not your life.

And THIS right here is why is Jared is a stand up guy! How many blogs have the REAL Adoption Story up? I’m willing to bet the answer is a big fat Zero… yet they fall all over themselves printing the lies. At this point, anyone who still believes anything from the Tabs needs to be committed…honestly.

Thank you very much Jared…You are the best.

You and the poser “Mr and Mrs Smith” wrote the racist remarks and then pretend someone else wrote it by using their screen name. That is so low and dirty. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

2. Angelina Jolie
Genuine concern for the well-being of less fortunate people is a noble pursuit, but shameless self-promotion in the guise of humanitarianism ultimately becomes nauseating. Traveling the Third World with a small army of stylists and publicists, the one-time Lara Croft feels like an unholy mix of Mother Teresa and Paris Hilton: look at the poor, but make sure you get me in my best light. Ironically, more people saw her in Cambodia or Namibia than in “A Mighty Heart.”
Anti-Freeze: How about adopting an American kid and making movies that people want to see?

Now what loonies???????????????????????????????????????????????

Brad is the best choice of boyfriend if you want the world to hate you and have no career left.

Jen was on that list on 2006 and the loonies tought it was legit, now what??????

LMAO! She’s done. Finally people are sick of her, keep thinking that the world loves her lol

Her public career is done. She should STFU about her “donations”. A lot of people does more than her and don’t talk about it every 5 seconds.

———————————————
Is this the number of the voices in her head?? DAMN!!! LMAO!!

So what if she’s in the Frigid 50? How credible is that website and why their opinion is any different than other bloggers who dislike Jolie? Everyone has the right to their opinion, so does Film Threat, but to say that a reason for Angelina to somehow redeem herself is to adopt an American kid is the most xenophobic racist piece of sh*t I hear from Americans. Not all Americans, thank God.Adoptions are a personal choice and a child’ life is saved no matter where he lives in the world. You know that the same people would say she adopted American to improve her image so it doesn’t really matter. I’m glad she continues to do her thing despite bigots, racists and narrow-judgment a*holes everywhere.

Now, I have to agree with sbc here for a moment. I love both of them and their family. But if Zahara’s bio family does exist and it seem that at least the grandmother is alive, I think she should send them money. She doesn’t have to, she doesn’t owe them anything but if she did I think Zahara will love her more for that. She doesn’t know Maddox’s family but Z and Pax have some extended family I believe. One day these children will grow up and learn about their families.How would they both feel to learn that their relatives were dirt poor and may have died of starving when they enjoyed all the luxuries of life?

Again, we don’t know if they support these families, but if they did they wouldn’t be bribed by tabloids so easily for fear of losing a steady income.I don’t think Angelina adopted the whole family but a mere &200 a month would be plenty for them and what’s $200 for Angelina? Nothing.

I Love Just Jared @ 11/15/2007 at 5:04 pm

I agree that’s why Jared is number one. I think I’m gonna do a story on his blog and how it’s the most accurate blog with the most savvy people on here. We all know the origination of the trolls because they have key words that originate at another blog who will be over by this time next year.

Jared just needs to post his disclaimer on personal attacks and slander like all reputable blogs and they sky is the limit for him. Maybe even a television show cuz the others are all about lies and innuendos. Those entertainment shows better drop the tablogs as sources and use JJ as a source.

Angie is amazing, she is larger than life. If she keeps doing this, I believe she will get Nobel Peace Prize someday. More and more people around the world admire her. She and Brad are perfect couple and they make each other better. Love them.

242,252,now you are answering yourself,you are one lazy bas*ard who has not done research,all trolls are brainless

256 astrid : 11/15/2007 at 5:02 pm

======================================================

So, you are saying that anyone that adopts should support the bio family?

Or is it only Angie that has to do this?

As I have said before clean your own house and let Angie tend to hers. You know live and let live!

btw you do understand there are laws that governs adoptions, right?

The court also investigated the social status of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt before approving the adoption. [The adoption was] legal and irrevocable. The controversy is media hype by unethical journalists exploiting the poverty of the grandmother.”

In other words, reporters paid the relatives to raise the dispute.

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

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I have heard everything!

i love you jen aniston!!!!!!!! i friggin’ love you!!!!!!!!!

Maniston loonies, hold your horses. Angelina was in the Frigid List in 2003, incidentally she was No. 2 then as well. Yet, 4 years later her career has bounced pretty good and she may get plenty of Noms this year. I prefer her making movies like Mighty Heart than yet another Tom Raider 3. I’ll be here to gleefully dancing around when she starts raking up noms.

guys lets talk awards,gloden globenomination is on december 13,fingers cross for both brad and angie

Here is another great one for the haters and this one is very new….

I do however, want to recognize and appreciate those regulars like guli, Mr and Mrs Smith, African girl, Passing Through, the real tita, think positive!, Frenchy, Estelle, piper, with a low, dina #1, Peaches and a score of other dedicated fans too numerous to name. The positive vibe that you contribute here is worth wading through all of the rest of the extraneous crap.

Angelina & Brad must be so excited. The holidays are about to begin next week with Thanksgiving. I’m excited because it was around this time that I knew that Brad & Angelina were serious about each other. I saw pics of them just after picking up a Christmas Tree holding the tree. How symbolic. These set of picture exist so I ‘m sure it will turn up soon again.

______________________________________________

That’s some pretty good company. Especially Natalie Portman cause I like her and think she’s got a good head on her shoulders.

Lady G,

No, I said that $200 a month wouldn’t be much for Angelina to send to them and that’s a fortune for those families. Not all adopted families can afford to do that, but she can.I am not judging her and it would be ok even if she didn’t, because she doesn’t owe them anything, but imagine if one day Zahara asks her why her relatives died in poverty and she didn’t help them out. She’s gonna hold Angelina and Brad accountable and she may not be entirely wrong on that.

Again, she’s not responsible for them, but I wish she did it. I wouldn’t love her any less but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with everything she does or doesn’t.

guys i think the GG is where their chances are stronger

289,i doubt that was the real grandmother,people do anything for money

273 Me too—-there are so many great JP fans here from all over the world and I think most of the folks who have been here for years love meeting new JP fans. I want to thank you for your post and I’m hoping more JP fans will chime in on regular basis. :-) BBL….

“btw are you a lawyer? Do you run an adoption agency? Do you understand or know the laws that governs adoptions?”

Lady G, what’s next? WHAT ARE MY CRIMES??? HAVE I RAPED ANY BABIES? Yes, it’s possible to have a different opinion and still be a fan of this family. Are you friends with Cliniqua by the way? Jesus.

Astrid, you don’t know what Angie does and what she does not do. Just leave her alone. Because someone does, does not meant they should be responsible for the world. They do what’s best for their kids. Do you like the whole world to tell you what to do?

I just sent an e-mail to the editor of Outa Touch telling her she has the moral sense of a skid-row prostitute and the only thing her magazine is good for is to line a garbage can.

Is it me or did the Ethiopian source just say - Brad and Angelina jointly went to Ethiopia to adopt Zahara. He wanted to adopt Zahara 4-5 months after his separation in Mar 2005. just couldn’t put his name on the documents just yet. However, he was officially investigated by the Ethiopian government. wow.

got to get ready for work

If you guys think that FilmThreat = Hollywood, you’re very naive and obviously no nothing about the industry.

Is it me or did the Ethiopian source just out Brad’s status in the adoption of Zahara - Brad and Angelina jointly adopted Zahara - by saying he was officially investigated by the Ethiopian government as though he would be on the adoption papers. wow.

The whole matter about adoption should be private. It does not matter whether it be Angie or someone non famous. I feel for this family and I feel for the jolie-pitts. In Touch Magazine has sunk very low, this info whether true or not, should not be for public consumption. I am happy that zee is alive and has a family, however I think alot poor people get taken advantage of. If the grandmother/mother is telling the truth then they are victims also. Victims of their poverty.

_____________________________________________

See, you’re thinking that’s how Zahara is going to think and react when you like me don’t know if that’s going to be the case. Angie has said she talks to Maddox about his being adopted and I would think she tells him everything about where he came from. If she does that with Maddox, I’m sure she’ll do the same with Pax and Zee and any other adopted child they may have. I’m also pretty sure that Brad and Angie will take Zee to Ethiopia to see where she came from and maybe start a project there, the way they’ve done with Maddox.

observation deck @ 11/15/2007 at 5:28 pm

it came to my observation that when The Departed aired the other night, the first name on the end credits as executive producers was Brad Pitt.

I don’t remember this when the movie came out. I thought he was third. I’m sure I would have remembered because I jumped at that first credit when I saw it on tv but don’t remember it in the movies. I knew he was one of the producers but not the first name.

Anyway that Oscar winning film is the reason he’s getting so many projects greenlit.

All I am going to say is that…someone people at Outttouch must be soooo angry at Angelina like she did something to her personally…to fly over to Africa, pay people to find information about the grandmother who probably live in a remote vilage ro somewhere not too easly accessible…

just to pay her for a story in next week tabloids.

Talk about people who have lost it upstairs.

there is this man from outa touch that they always invite on tv,he hates angie,i was watching court tv and they were talking about celebs and media control,he was so mean,even the other guest that was invited told him that he was wrong

vickifromtexas @ 11/15/2007 at 5:35 pm

anyone can see angelina is an incredible person, she has a big heart, she puts her money and time where her mouth is. i think the media panders to the small minded individuals who are jealous of angelina. how sad it is when so many women could be supporting a strong, empathetic, proactive woman but they are being petty and jealous instead.

I love Just Jared @ 11/15/2007 at 5:36 pm

In Touch is absolutely repulsive.

280 guli:thanks for the video.

If you all want to do something about the tabloids, please bring it to the attention of New York State’s Attorney General since the publishing is in NY. This Attorney General has been victim to tabloids himself so you have a sympathetic ear.

Other than that, let’s move on never to discuss these things again.

158 Estelle

I was going to say the exact same thing. In some countries they do sell their children. But Angie and Brad adopted a child and started supporting the family can you imagine the uproar? They would surely be accused of baby buying, or worse. I am amazed at how others can suggest what BP/AJ should do. And yet I wonder about their charitable/humanitarian donations and efforts. Peace.

================================================

All I have to say is life isn’t black and white and it’s shame that you are refusing to see the shades of gray.

Angie has done a great job so far with all her children and it’s not our place to question how, what, when, and where the children are concern.

I hope no one questions every move you make, how you raise your children (if you have any), where you live, where you travel, what type of job you should take, etc. We don’t like it when big brother goes sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong — so why should you and others want to micro manage Angie’s life?

who the hell are these fanatics. Why they sound same , even they are quoting the same way just “*” replaced with ~ and _ . Get a life los ers. Let the stars be what they are .. don’t hound after them and their pictures 24/7, because of ppl like you paparazzi s are on their face always.. imagine what kind of damage it can do to young kids… and god forbid if they turn out whac ko as Britney .. it’s going to be on you lo on s .

Looking at the birthdays, it goes: Zee, Shi, Mom, Mad, Pax, Dad.
Older sis, younger sis, female parent in the first half of the year, and older bro, younger bro, male parent in the second half.

Once they get Angie’s name on a list, they hope they will be talked about. This is getting old and we should stop paying attention to all these lies except where we want to do something positive about it like writing to people who can stop these lies.

Tabloids are desperate even to the extent of including Z’s adoption.What happen to the real journalism? I guess, we have to stop buying tabloids that spread lies about others specially about Brad & Angie’s family. They really have to do something about these tabloids, at least People Magazine when they are wrong they have the nerve to admit & correct their mistakes. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

334/AJ in the making

I read in some articles that she just travel by herself with a back-pack as luggage to go to these troubled countries as an Ambassador. The UN think or she thinks it would be safer to travel this way. It is secretly done, and when they think she’s safe that’s the time a UN reporter send the news and pictures all over the world about her trip.

We haven’t seen the children in awhile. I’m glad that they’ve been away from the stalkerazzi. Some old pictures, we’ve seen most of these already and apologies as they are watermarked. I log in at Splash as a guest.

Thanks for the thread Just Jared and the information listed. The article written by AJ was very informative and compassionate.
AJ is a major star. Tabs and obscure websites use her to get hits. The negative the article, the more hits it generates by haters and envious people looking for something to hate her for or libel her. It is a simple fact. Use BP or AJ name in your article and your web site will see an increase in hits.

Whether written with a snarky tone, outright lies or even positive information, BP and AJ are good business for an obscure website, tab or blog. AJ is helping in the way she knows how. It is easy to sit behind a desk and not get involve. It is easy to hate those that take chances and risks to help others. The good thing about AJ is that she knows she has critics. However, this does not stop her from living her life and performing her UN duties.

The fact is AJ is a well-respected UN Ambassador; writer for influential journals; a well-regarded actress; a devoted Mother and partner. These facts cannot be taken away from her, no matter the list hot or cold. However, it is funny how trolls/haters get such glee out of these lists. Best wishes to BAMPZS and peace to all. Thanks for all the updates Just Jared.

Thanks for the thread Just Jared and the information listed. The article written by AJ was very informative and compassionate.
AJ is a major star. Tabs and obscure websites use her to get hits. The negative the article, the more hits it generates by haters and envious people looking for something to hate her for or libel her. It is a simple fact. Use BP or AJ name in your article and your web site will see an increase in hits.

Whether written with a snarky tone, outright lies or even positive information, BP and AJ are good business for an obscure website, tab or blog. AJ is helping in the way she knows how. It is easy to sit behind a desk and not get involve. It is easy to hate those that take chances and risks to help others. The good thing about AJ is that she knows she has critics. However, this does not stop her from living her life and performing her UN duties.

The fact is AJ is a well-respected UN Ambassador; writer for influential journals; a well-regarded actress; a devoted Mother and partner. These facts cannot be taken away from her, no matter the list hot or cold. However, it is funny how trolls/haters get such glee out of these lists. Best wishes to BAMPZS and peace to all. Thanks for all the updates Just Jared.

In the middle.

Some are questioning Angie’s right or ability to write for the Economist. Angie has never described herself as an intellectual or an academic. But she has been described, by others, as a quality communicator. There are different ways to communicate and all are valid if the message one is trying to convey is understood and received. Abstract and obtuse verbage is not neccesarily a sign of good communicating skills. Ronald Reagan, possibly one of the least intellectual American presidents in recent times, was none the less considered a “great communictor.”
Angie’s mission was to write an article describing what she saw, felt, smelled, and knew about a situation that is killing thousands of people. And that she did. C. Rice is an intellectual and an academic who is not a great communicator. There is no warmth in her words. No sense that she has touched or felt any of the things she is talking about. Maybe Angie could have enlisted someone to help her with writing her piece. But then she wouldn’t be Angie. Her piece will rise or fall on her merits. You write as you speak. And Angie is straight forward and to the point person. The horror of murders, rapes, mutilation should not be abstracted or discussed in cold academic rhetoric.

Those who really want to know the sounds of the pain and suffering of the people of Darfur will appreciate Angie’s piece. Those who want to know but don’t need the emotional connection will select something else. Angie doesn’t position herself to be anything other than what she is, a human person trying to help other human persons. And for that effort we should all be thankful. Peace

my last word b-4 i passed out!f!ck you assniston!

Angie told some TV entertainment show that her friends told her about the rumors regarding her PREGNANCY for a good laugh, not the week in and week out hate-filled rumors, or stupid made up stuff from some “insider”.
She doesn’t pay a d*amn bit of attention to that crap, and neither should anyone else with half a brain or a decent life to live.

Angelina Jolie is SUPER smart, sexy, and driven and i love her!@

Poor Sambo, every time you open your yap, in goes your foot. You don’t give a damn for Z and you never did. You would have been delighted if she’d died of AIDS. So don’t come in here spreading your fake concern for her welfare, because you don’t have any.

You have a genius for winding up with egg all over your face. Hope you choke on that crow, honey. Your misery = our joy.

The Jolie-Pitts owe Z’s birth family absolutely nothing. They unloaded her at the orphanage when she was desperately sick because they could no longer care for her. At that point Z became a ward of the Ethiopian government until the J-Ps adopted her.

I can feel some sympathy for Z’s birth family who are desperately poor and are ripe for manipulation by the tabloids. My contempt is reserved for the tabloids themselves and the trolls who believe everything they print.

Don’t quite understand your guys excitment over bewolf. The success of this movie has nothing to do with angelina. She is in it for 6 minutes.
************************************************

But if the movie bombed, you’d say it bombed because of Angelina, wouldn’t you, you psycho little shít?
