Angelina Jolie is 33rd Smartest in Hollywood

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…

and you know this how???I`m sure Brad wanted to go alone but you know Jolie won`t let him has any alone time or boy times.she follows him everywhere.hey jolie!!!leave him alone.

probably most of you weren`t brad fan before,but I was and he likes alone time alot.he wants to left alone,but jolie scares that she might lose him so she won`t leave him alone any time
———————-
That was before the kids and Angie. Now Brad is a changed man. He said so himself and he’s loving it.You are right Angie follows him and Brad follows Angie too in Prague, London, Chicago or even in Africa. Wherever whatever they are always together for a long long time. Deal with it. Losers!

LOVE ANGELINA AND FAMILY @ 12/02/2007 at 3:58 pm

879 : you are so childish don’t you know he had no life back them,he has a life now.but you can dream on and believe what you want if it makes you feel better.and yes i have loved brad before he was with angie,because he was born in the same town i was.

I think the plan is to expand the number of houses to be built in the Lower 9th Ward and to also build homes in other hard hit neighborhoods in the area. The need is so great.

Brad can`t handle this for many times.

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

Hehehe…more like HAHAHA. Brad’s alone times were about escaping from X, her hens and/or both. When he jettisoned X he also jettisoned his need for MASSIVE AMOUNTS of alone time. Now he’s got A FAMILY THAT’S A JOY TO HIM and being with them is more important than tooling around on his Ducati because he knows it’s the one thing he can do by himself that X had no interest in and absolutely hated. Any long time Brad fan would know that. So consider your ass…BUSTED.

Jen seemed real happy! @ 12/02/2007 at 1:47 pm

Probably looking forward to her first charity fcuk in months. Attagirl, Jen!

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

ROTFLMAO. What’s even funnier is that she had to call a guy who cheated on her with a girl just out of her teens for her booty call. Can life get any more depressing for a woman than having to resort to cheating exes for booty calls?

Updated story with pixs.

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

Something just occured to me about this story - the pink houses as stand-ins for the homes to be built…Anybody else hear Mellencamp’s “Pink Houses” in their head when they read this story? It’s actually a very fitting song for what Brad is trying to do in NO. It should be what America is about…instead of us being the world’s b#tch…

There’s a black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighbourhood
Hes got an interstate runnin through his front yard
You know, he think, that hes got it so good
And theres a woman in the kitchen cleanin up the evening slop
And he looks at her and says: hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock

Chorus:
Oh but aint that america for you and me
Aint that america were someting to see baby
Aint that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Well theres a young man in a t-shirt
Listening to a rockin rollin station
Hes got a greasy hair, greasy smile
He says: lord, this must be my destination
cuz they told me, when I was younger
Boy, youre gonna be president
But just like everyting else, those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went

Chorus:
Oh but aint that america for you and me
Aint that america were someting to see baby
Aint that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Well theres people and more people
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the gulf of mexico
Ohhh yeah
And theres winners, and theres losers
But they aint no big deal
cuz the simple man baby pays for the thrills,
The bills and the pills that kill

Chorus:
Oh but aint that america for you and me
Aint that america were someting to see baby
Aint that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Oh but aint that america for you and me
Aint that america were someting to see baby
Aint that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Rally cry:
Let’s make BP $5M poorer.

How?
By donating to his NOLA project. The more you give, the more he has to match your donation with his own money.

What are the rewards?
-BP is poorer by $5M (yeah!)
-You did a good deed, and God will reward you.
-A resident of the 9th Ward gets help in the process.

It’s a win-win situation. ;)

It occurred to me that Brad has never missed any of Angie’s premieres so far; TGS, AMH, and Beowulf, be it in the US or outside the US.

Whereas with Jennifer, he missed quite a lot!

In 2004, he dint go with JA for Along came Polly premiere in London and Paris, and promo in Rome.

In 2003, Brad didnt attend the premier of Bruce Almighty in Los Angeles

In June 2002, Brad also did not attend The Good Girl Premiere in LA. He only attended the Industry screening in Aug 2002 and the one in Sundance.

But jennifer attended all Brad’s film premieres up to Troy in 2004, except the latter part of 2004 for O12.

If English is your first language, you really need to go back to school! You sound stupid and silly.

she should of made the top 5, but still proud of her, go Angie

24 doesn’t…. @ 12/01/2007 at 8:38 am

Is this spinning or what! Ugly spin.

Zahara has nothing to be embarrassed or humiliated about. It isn’t her fault that she is the result of rape, if it’s even true. So what if people know. If it’s true, I bet she’s not the only one, and plenty of other people were born unwanted, or abandoned. The past is the past. She is now in good hands. By the time Zahara is old enough to understand she will realize how lucky she is and love her parents even more.
It’s not true that we haven’t seen them since this
‘revelation.’ We haven’t seen them for a while before that.
You are entitled to your opinion, but you sound like a very resentful person.

…I’ve been a fan for almost 12 years, and I have never seen him happier. Real Brad fans are happy for him and love Angie as his partner.
——-
Since you’ve been a Brad fan for so long, you should know. I’m a new Brad fan (since their hook-up) so I’m glad to read that.
As an Angie fan of a few years, I’m happy to see her happy with Brad and their kids.

I’ve read some comments about Brad’s tummy tattoo of Angie’s birthdate being “wrong,” because it’s date/month/year instead of month/date/year.

How stupid can some people be! They must be small- minded and, I guess, to them there’s no world outside the US.
Do they even know that there are about 200 countries in the world, and that Americans AND Europeans are only about 13%(!) of the people on the planet!
I suppose to them it’s wrong when things are done differently compared to in the US. :lol:
