OlderAngelina 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…

I dont get to post as much as I would like to because I only get on the computer mostely on the weekends (not allowed at work), but I am a FAN. and I’m not on the list…BTW, I’m from Jamiaca. :)
The fact that Sarah Polley is #49, while Tyler Perry is #7 shows how much credibility this list has.
I think it’s good to see Ben Affleck has bounced back into the good books and Diablo Cody made the list. Juno was wonderful!

This comment is directed to doesn’t— I don’t usually respond to trolls but your comment required a response
How ******* sad that people like you who have spent the last 3yrs. trying to ruin angie now come in here with your misplaced concern for her daughter. You don’t give a **** about Z or her future! IF YOU DID YOU WOULD’NT BE SPREADING LIES!! how can someone who profess to care about a 2yr old child come on the net spreading and repeating lies about that child? Angie and Brad have nothing to be ashamed of, the people who should be ashamed are you, people like you and the “news” agencies that reported this story. Angie did not tell the world thyis garbage, the woman who is reportedly Z’s birthmother did and the news agencies and people like you gave her the forum on which to do it so before you start throwing stones, shitzy, look in the mirrow
George Clooney not deserves to be in that list.
Sorry, I mean Tyler Perry is at #8. Still terrible!

HI, EVERYONE! HAVEN’T TALKED IN HERE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. ANGIE IS A SMART GIRL, I HAVE NO DOUBT IN IT SINCE EVERY ACTORS WORKED WITH HER HAD SAID SOMETHING SIMILAR. CONGRATULATION TO ANGIE.
I MISS THE jOLIE-PITT FAMILY, DO ANYONE KNOW WHERE ARE THEY. THERE’S SOMRTING WRONG IN WITH MY COMPUTER. NO SOUND IS COMING OUT. I HAVE 3 BORING WEEKEND ALREADY. NO VIDEO AND NEW PICS. :( :( :(
Tini, Just Jared stated that Angie’s ONE OF THE YOUNGEST ACTRESSES who make the cut.
sorry for my bad grammer did not spell check and that ***** pissed me off, which was her intent
WTG Angie! I didn’t need a magazine to tell me she is a smart woman afterall the evidence has always been there telling us this very thing.
I miss seeing the Jolie-Pitts but they are getting to have some much needed privacy which is a good thing.
As everyone knows Brad will be on the Today’s Show on Monday and LKL on Wednesday—- according to tvguide online he will be part of the Julia Roberts tribute on AMC Channel 12/05.
Rock on Angie, and the Jolie-Pitts!
I think she deserved to be in the top 10 or at least top 20! She’s that smart. She’s smarter than Jodie Foster!
Smart, that’s what I have always said about AJ. Congratulations for being recognized.
A shout out to Cliniqua. THANK YOU for the NA piece. It’s about time someone sets the records straight. Big kisses to you.
Today Is World AIDS Day.
♥♥♥ love angie she is the best ♥♥♥
45. Missouri fan, good morning! :smile: thanks for the shoutout! Congratulations angie! You deserve it. And as far as brad, he’s gotta be smart for being the only guy to keep angie feeling as happy, content, and appreciated as she is. Takes one to know one, and all that… Cliniqua’s article rocks, great job!

You stupid c*nt. We all iknow you were right in the mix, spreading the rumours, innuendoes and outright LIES about this little girl.
I notice that your nasty little diatribe fails to mention the stinkers who actually did the dirty deed.
Where is your pious, self-righteous outrage at the nasty tabbies and their evil minions for dragging out these two ethiopian women from whereever they found them, and put words in their mouths about Z?
Is Z the only adopted child you know of? And if not, then which other adopted child do you know of, who has been so scrutinized by nasty, jealous insecure females who would relish telling the world that a little baby girl was a product of rape?
You are one of them. Who the fcuk do you think you are, you nasty lowlife, bottomfeeder. Do you really think you fool anyone on this site?
Go fcuk yourself.
She’s smarter than Jodie Foster!

Er, no.
Luceabb, and Cmar, great posts.
Not that she needs the exposure, but all these list she’s been on are just confirming that she’s a shoe in this award season. Congratulations Angelina!

I totally agree. I don’t know a whole lot of the other people, but I feel Angie deserves to be up there. But then again, this is the “Entertainment”, and I really question the intelligence of the people who put this together - without thinking there has to be some bias lobbying or preferencial treatment. :mrgreen:
