Angelina Jolie Mingles With the Troops

Angelina Jolie waves and smiles during a visit to a US military base in the heavily guarded Green Zone in central Baghdad, where she visited the canteen for lunch and mingled with troops.

Angie was in the Iraqi capital on Thursday, in her role as a United Nations good will ambassador, on a mission to highlight the plight of Iraqi refugees.

Watch the video of Angie eating for two (or three!) at TMZ.

And if you missed the CNN interview, Angie was almost asked about her pregnancy:

CNN: There are reports out of Hollywood that… (laughs)

Jolie: Oh don’t. Stop it. (interrupts I had to ask) Stay true to your tradition. You’re CNN. Don’t do it!

CNN: I know that’s why I have to… (laughs)

Jolie: But I don’t have to answer. OK?

CNN: No you don’t. I completely and totally … you’re right and will not press the matter.

Jolie: Thank you.

#147: I don’t like the idea of so-called fans chastising other fans. Can’t stand patronizing attitude and acting like a superior among subordinates. Now, that’s not cool.

Sorry if we offended you but everybody has an opinion and we’re just expressing ours.

I think it is sad that way too many of you regular posters would spout mean-spirited remarks towards a fellow fan. It has finally happened. Most of you have become worse than a troll—because a troll only attacks the enemy. You have stooped to attacking a fellow fan. Talk about evil.

the real tita @ 02/07/2008 at 4:03 pm #128: Cliniqua and Felinelilly, you forgot that it was Brad who was coming back from LA (to do jury duty) and he didn’t know Angie was there in the backseat! He jumped over when he saw her there. Didn’t even bother going out the door to get to the other door. Now that was swoon worthy.
————————–
I didn’t forget, but I was thinking how swoonworthy it would be for Brad to do the same thing to her andsurprise her. (( thud))

Omg I walk to see that!

:lol: I’ll go with you!

Cliniqua, if you go and look at GC’s, sorry AG, you will see comments that are praising him on his efforts and bravery. Hell the man came home and when asked didn’t know a d*mn thing. That is the difference between Angie and the others. Angie has taken the time, 7 years, to educate herself and learn the laws, the rules, the procedures, the players, the countries involved, the politics, the sensibilities of the people, and her own limitations. She is sensitive to how things work and how you represent yourself. This not ego tripping.

The interviewer was intimidated by Angie and want to make a name for herself by getting a scoop. She thought she would put Angie on the spot and Angie would yield and give her what she wanted. No. Angie doesn’t yield unless she wants to.

Why is there so much bickering among the fans today? Just asking a simple question people.

I don’t own the word. But when I first started ending my post with the word peace I was the only one doing it. Now there are others who do it also. My reason for doing so was as a Muslim woman we greet each other with words wishing each other peace. And instead of say goodbye, we wish each other peace. It is gratifying to see so many peace wishers here on the thread. Today the word doesn’t seem to be having an affect on the thread. But here’s still wishing. Peace

Hi sharon. :D
Hey to luckyL, African Girl, tabitha, Aeon, juju, a fan, and carolina. Did I forget anyone? lol

It was too short, later alia

Hey Felinelilly! Hello fellow BAMPZS fans

They were discussing Politics, economy, writers strike, etc. Neal Cavuto did ask him if his movie with Angelina Jolie was in the can when discussing the writer strike. Later when discussing why he has no desires to be an mayor again he brings up that he enjoys his life as it is and that he gets to do projects he believes in.

lol @ 02/07/2008 at 4:20 pm o.m.g! I can’t believe she’s pregnant with Twins and that dude totally outed her pregnancy. maybe they didn’t want to announce the pregnancy yet because she knew she would catch some heat for going to Iraq when she’s Pregnant. oh lordy!

What did I miss? Has it been confirmed???

vickifromtexas @ 02/07/2008 at 4:28 pm

sad lurker, comparing yourself to Jesus Christ? anyway He wouldn’t be here making ugly remarks about a caring and commited woman doing for others. He wouldn’t come here and bait others and then be affronted when the bait is taken.

# 146 st. angina @ 02/07/2008 at 3:46 pm

I am going to take a leap here and assume your criticisms of her actions are from your own personal experiences with refugees, going overseas or working for a UNHCR or as an international actress yourself who is hunted and photographed wherever you go. Or is it your jealousy that is eating you up inside?

You do realize she was already famous before she adopted Maddox. How exactly is she using her “goodwill work as a means for “media notoriety?” She was already famous. She is an actress.

She is hardly ever home to see the kids. Of course with you personally living with her you would know this first hand.

“It’s not as if the military is going to help her.” What are you saying you twit? The US State Department invited her. She didn’t call them. They called her.

You know what St. Angina, I know you are bitter because your application to become a saint yourself has been rejected because you lack a brain. Please submit your application again when you have found one or have grown one.

Hey Aeon, you know what they say…An African Girl’s got to do what an African Girl’s got to do, I don’t have deep pockets, ya know.

I know, I know…BP and AJ, Higher standards…I just don’t get how these people (Fanistons and the not a fans) do it with a straight face. What they like on someone else becomes bad…evil in fact when it’s the JPs.

Sick.

BBL

OMG real tita…I totally forgot it was Angelina who did that for Brad…that WAS swoonworthy, I agree!! She misses her baby too (the big one) lol

..and I’m lol at the heat Madonna is catching hooking up her unicef thing to the opening of a Gucci flagship store and making the UN decision makers who gave her permission to use their lawn, look like swag grabbers. lol way to go madge and george, you are 0 for 2. Jeebus…what idiots to be so blatant about it.

I think I’m way over-zealous today from receiving so many Angelina threads. I will only exude love now lol. I’m not even going to chastise a troll (for now).

the real tita @ 02/07/2008 at 4:31 pm

#213: It’s because people have signed on under different names and won’t stick to one that has generated all the confusion. If you’re a fan or a troll, use the same moniker so people will know who is and who isn’t.

Don’t know what they’re afraid of…it’s not as if somebody can throw something at you and give you concussion if you say something they don’t like or don’t agree with. Even behind the screens, some people still can’t be honest.

I apologize for my initial response! Totally misconstrued what you said! Sorry, hypersensitive from the other trolls.

Who outer her pregnancy?

# 221 African Girl @ 02/07/2008 at 4:28 pm

Okay I understand. Do you think there will come a time when they will just let this go and realize Brad is never ever going back to X? I am really hoping for them that she finds someone or they move on. All of that bitterness festering in their tummy for so long its going to have to be let out oneway or the other. Virtually these people are getting to explode at any minute, I say we approach them with caution. That is all we need caca all over the place.

Life & Style’s Publisher to Maxim; In Touch, L&S Rate Bases Cut

FEBRUARY 06, 2008 -

Neil Goldstein is jumping ship from Bauer Publishing’s Life & Style to become associate publisher of Alpha Media Group’s Maxim, effective Feb. 28.

His move coincided with parent Bauer’s announcement today that it would cut Life & Style’s rate base 21 percent, to 550,000. The weekly missed its 700,000 rate base by 18,277 copies in the second half of 2007, a period in which it raised its cover price by $1, to $2.99. Bauer also cut sibling title In Touch’s rate base 17 percent, to 1 million.

No successor at Life & Style has been named.

Goldstein became publisher of Life & Style in November 2006, when Bauer named individual publishers for its celebrity weeklies to drive ad sales, replacing Bob Davidowitz, who had been group publisher for Life & Style and In Touch. Goldstein had previously been publisher of Bauer’s teen group.

At Maxim, he will fill a position that has been vacant since Steve DeLuca bolted early last year to become associate publisher at Condé Nast Traveler.

Meanwhile, the Bauer circ cuts mark another blow to the celeb weekly category, whose once-robust growth has been tempered over the past year amid rate base cuts and cover price hikes. Some titles also have been pinched by a decline in ad pages related to the writer’s strike.

The cuts were not unexpected, though. Bauer had been aggressively growing the circulation of its weeklies, raising their rate bases six times since In Touch launched in 2002 and Life & Style made its debut in 2004. Meanwhile, major wholesalers had begun pressuring Bauer to raise the cover prices across its low cover price titles, contending they’re unprofitable for the wholesalers.

Bull’s Eye! Aeon. LOL

Love it.

here’s a sampling of madge’s faux pas:

From UPI wire: UN criticized for Madonna Gala

Guardian Unlimited: Madonna Hosts Controversial UN Fundraiser

Ecorazzi: The UN Gets A ‘Time Out’ Over Madonna Hosted Charity Event

Digital Spy: Madonna Hits Back Over Charity Bash

Inner City Press: Gucci Uses UN for Ad

New York Sun: As UN Lawn Becomes Gucci Gulch Commerce Mixes w/ Diplomacy

Madonna along with debuting her new face stretched taut as a friggin’ drum…has decided to take down the UN.

I bet they pass a UN law soon that says only Angelina Jolie can represent them. lolol : -D

Angie is so beautiful and stunning considering she has less make up. She is awesome and remarkable. I love and admire her so much.

sad lurker @ 02/07/2008 at 4:07 pm Hiyall—well you a few of you goofy girls got tricked by me and don’t you all look like a bunch of over-zealous attack dog mentality losers.
Mother earth (I think) is long gone and just for sport I played with y’all using her name (but spelling it differently out of respect—did you not notice, itwas obvious! And one bigger freak after another went bonkers. Bonkers on another fan. You are a disgrace and you know who your are.

___________________________
I noticed and watched it happen to another fan. There are ways to set them up and then they just go away for awhile. Lurking ain’t all that bad though.

Thanks for all the threads on AJ trip to Iraq Just Jared. Thanks for the video links. It was inspiring and informative watching the CNN video. Thanks for all the articles, links and pictures. Peace to all.

You Are Sad @ 02/07/2008 at 5:02 pm

mother earth @ 02/07/2008 at 2:56 pm

Miranda is just a gal that chooses not to like beautiful Angelina. It drives us truefans nuts because we can’t see ANYTHING not to love!

But most of us here can’t hack aniston—we’re all calm now because she is out of the picture. But she’ll be back soon–’cause she is a survivor and covets her celebrity like nobody’s business. She will soon blitzkrieg us with her presence and will make us all bonkers!!!!

Malibumom, give it a rest already with you and X, you are too obvious.

You did pretty good yourself with your response to fierce. That was a bullseye too.

…Ever heard of a little country called Benin? Yeah, that’s where my researching doing grandmama lives.
——-
I have, yes, but I don’t know exactly where it is. Where is it, exactly?

Greetings JP fans!!
I was thinking about the scum of paps following celebrities. I know there is a cry for new laws, why can’t we use the current laws to the fullest. There is a law about stalking celebs since the tv star of “mindy and mork was murdered by a stalker. Why can’t they use that law to stop the paps from stalking until another specific law can be enacted?

Peace
