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…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And you know this, how?
Quit lying. Nobody cares about your silly little fantasies.
sorry MF stepped away from thye computer for a minute, doing laundry. Yes, I live in Toronto Canada but I am from Lucea Jamaica I came to Canada many years ago could say I grewup here
WAKE UP
I ‘m sure you are the one who need a wake up call.
Hey BAMPZS fans! Happy Saturday! Stopped in to see what was up. Good for Angie!
For those of you (ie: haters) and sorry but a few fans, please read what the list is about. It’s about living you life and going about things in a smart fashion. Please READ why they said Angie is smart: 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.”
Have a wonderful day all!
THINK ABOUT IT
she didnt make anyone sign anything. they had a choice, and you would think real journalists wouldnt object to being asked to only ask questions about the important film, AMH, and not about whether Angie is pregnant again..or other personal questions. That was her lawyers doing.
Angelina didn`t mention Brad once in her interview but she mentioned JLM once and also brings Her mother`s name non stop and talks about her father and Mad but no brad.hehehe
Isn`t it funny?someone seems alittle bored with her man,she used to talk about Brad in each one of her interview.but now hell No,she just talks about her and her thought and everything that is related to her,nothing more.she even mentioned that divorcing JLM was because she was in a bad situation in her life so it was big mistake from her.
wow everything is just pointing to Angelina is bored with her family and seems she missed her life when she and Mad were alone.
break up is near,poor brad,he just started to talk about her and his family while his woman is already bored with him.too late Brad.sooner than later she will dump you like what she did with her exes and then will come out and will say,I love brad,he is my best friend but we were not good as couple.we were more like friend than couple.she will end up like this in less than one year.I can even put my money in it.
I think someone is going to be forgot again in GG and oscar night If she will get them.poor brad probably she will even thank her died mother and her brother but will forget you like your last woman.your woman always put you behind and trying to get all the attention from you. :(

Angie didn’t make anybody sign anything. And it wasn’t a “gag order”, either. What it was: An agreement not to ask her about Brad and the kids, keep your questions pertaining to the film. She didn’t even know about it. It was just her lawyers being overly protective and wishing to keep the focus on the very serious subject matter of A Mighty Heart.
Oh, the poor tabs. They got cheesed off because they couldn’t ask Angie dumbazz questions that night about what she and Brad do in the bedroom.
And how silly of Angie’s people to want to protect her from that, right?
Even Angie herself said in the Larry King interview that it was too much and she wished they had not done that.
Thanks qqqq for bring the interview over,I think this has to be one of my favorite interviews she has ever done.

==================================
Man it’s got to hurt being that STUPID!!!!!
First and foremost, she is an entertainer served up for public consumption who willingly chose this career. Her product is herself. I recall the wonderful response Hallmark gave to Paris Hilton regarding her lawsuit: “The First Amendment does not allow her to respond by welcoming the fawning and flattering, but silencing the critical and comical.” Angelina is a woman who has boundless patience when it comes to protecting the rights of those in other nations however, she falls short of it at home.
Maybelle Hall ,
Tom Hank , Danzel Washington and other sucessful actors were also not among the list, it doesn’t mean they are dumb.
I always think actor such as Brad Pitt, Tom Hank or Tom Cruise , who were able to stay at the top of their game for almost 15 yrs are not dumb but are smart ass.
I would agree on every person in the list except Ben Affleck. how did Ben get into the list ?

You would think so but..I guess some people are just masochists.
Lady G @ 12/01/2007 at 11:14 am
My thoughts exactly. Too sad!!! Trolls are not what they use to be. It was a time when they challenged you and actually made sense. Now, All we get are illogical posts and drive by hate. Thank goodness for the fans.

Probably for figuring out he is a better director than actor.

Thank God we in the USA do not need the help of Angelina when it comes to protecting our rights. We have the constitution for that. Other countries aren’t so blessed.
Are you really that ignorant?
hehehe hen dj You the greatest idiot on planet
This is question and answer. If you don’t like Jolie please stop all this foolish complain. Today is beginning of new month and your mind is still full with jealous, hatred etc. please don’t enter new year with that character is very bad.
A heart full of complain cant get anything good in life. Well what you write show the reflection of who you are. Enough say

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JLM’s name in parenthesis. That means the reporter put that in for clarification of which husband she was talking about. If you knew how to read an article from something other than a tabloid you might know these things.
If she talks about Brad, she’s not keeping her private life private enough, and hurting the pitiful hair ball, and if she doesn’t talk about him, then idiots like you predict a break-up.
Keep dreaming.
This article was about acting, and that is what she talked about for the great majority of it. And you, poor thing, just poured over all her words, just looking to pick it apart for any little thing. LMAO!
Geez, talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees. If you paid attention, you might actually learn something.
hehehe @ aka d.j.
Stop your boring idiotic rant. If she didn’t mention
Brad, they are separating, and if she mention Brad, she is using and riding Brad coattail, whatever !
Angie & Brad forever~~~~~

+++++
LOL. so true !
qqqq thank you for the interview.
cmar one of my favorite poems! I think many of these brittle women who attack Angie might benefit from taking some time out and reading Maya Angelou. She has something for everyone, some wonderful perspective on whatever you need perspective on. Maybe they would loosen up a bit! :lol:
Lady G hi there! BBL
Ok, out into the snow! Have a great Saturday!
You’re not getting it.
I am surprised to see Ben Affleck on the list instead of Leonardo Dicaprio.
#24 I believe it was Zahara’s mother who brought this news to the media’s attention NOT Angelina. Give it a rest.
THINK ABOUT IT @ 12/01/2007 at 11:28 am
You’re not getting it.

And you’ve lost it.
I’m off to enjoy my day. Bye!
