Angelina Jolie is 33rd Smartest in Hollywood
Angelina Jolie recently made Entertainment Weekly’s “The 50 Smartest People in Hollywood” list, coming in at #33. She’s one of the youngest actresses to make the cut with 58-year-old Meryl Streep at #6, 45-year-old Jodie Foster at #30, 38-year-old Cate Blanchett at #45, and 28-year-old Sarah Polley at #49. Here’s what EW had to say:
Angelina, 32, is smart because… “she’s discovered the real value of fame. While keeping fanboys happy with films like Beowulf, she uses her celebrity superpowers for good. Continues to travel the globe as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador, the world media in tow, but this year she put her values on screen, too, delivering one of the best performances of her career as Mariane Pearl, widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl, in June’s A Mighty Heart.”
Angie also picked up the Good Penmanship Award because “she recently wrote for The Economist, alongside fellow contributors the Dalai Lama and French president Nicolas Sarkozy.”
Topping the “Smartest List” is director/writer/producer Judd Apatow of The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad fame. Click inside for the full list…

The secret is out! Brad Pitt has Angelina Jolie permanently inked on his person for all time! When lifting his hand to wave at fans he let the cat, or shall I say tat, out of the bag, as his shirt rode up to display a striking tattoo right above the waistband of his jeans. At that precise moment, fans of ‘Brangelina,’ worldwide began working to crack the code as soon as they saw it and had it broken down in a matter of hours.
Angelina Jolie Brands Brad Pitt’s Six-Pack (Image: Wenn)
Brad recently confessed all to foreign journalists on his overseas tour to promote his critically acclaimed film, ‘The Assassination of Jesse James.’ Though even if he hadn’t confirmed his new ink (stating it was ‘for Angie’) pictures do not lie.
***
So what mysterious love tat did the fans uncover? Those famous six-pack abs have been permanently and romantically etched with Angelina Jolie’s date of birth (06/04/75), written in Khmer, which is the first language of their oldest son, Maddox. The design appears as a striking and ornate scroll maybe two inches below Pitt’s belly button, and from what we hear, Papa Pitt’s new tat was a birthday gift to the love of his life.
We can only imagine what kind of reaction he got - oh to have been a fly on THAT wall!
***
Angelina, still grieving over the loss of her mother Marcheline Bertrand from cancer in early 2007, was expecting her 32nd birthday to hit her hard, as she had always received a phone call from her Mother at the precise minute she came into the world. This year, no phone calls would come.
Brad, anxious to lift Angelina’s spirits was rumored to have snuck off and gotten inked right before Angelina’s birthday, and surprised his lady love with the symbol of his devotion on her special day.
***
The irony is, rather than write of such a heart-melting swoon-worthy moment (and fact-based at that!), most sleazy tabloids chose to create and manufacture stories about this loving and obviously devoted couple. To get a closer look at Brad’s er…devotion see here and here.

Hi JJ, Thank you for the new thread. :-)
Yes, a really smart woman. Has no one else had a problem with the fact that this “smart” woman thrust her adopted children into the worldwide media so much that her daughter now has to live with the fact that the whole world knows she was conceived through violence, rape actually. No one looks at that though. If she would have protected her children like most parents in the world, not just Hollywood parents, this would have never happened. How is this “smart” woman going to explain that to poor Zahara. Oh….millions of dollars in therapy I’m sure because neither one of those idiots has a brain in their head. Or and unselfish bone in their body. They are children, not props, not dolls, not publicity pawns.
I feel bad for Zahara and I truly think what those two did and do publicity-wise with their children is disgusting. Notice since the revelation about Zahara, we haven’t really seen them. Is that what it took - this humiliating publicity for the child to realize that maybe they are pushing it a bit? Hopefully by the time Zahara is old enough to really understand, people will have forgotten and the press on it will be long archived. But this 2 year old’s private, private information was splashed on the conver of many, many magazines. Everyone is so protective over their personal info. Who protected Zahara? Certainly not her “smart” mommy.
