Brad and Angie should be ahead of all those politicians. Those politicians do not give 1/3 of their income to the ones in need. They only shake hands during election campaign. After the election, you’ll never see them as friendly and as “influencing” at all.

Forgot to mention, Pittwatch.com has a picture of Angie and Maddox taken from a long lens at the French Riviera.

#57: cause haters in their hate lose all sense of logic when it comes to the JPs, that’s why! It’s a wonder they still remember to fill their lungs with oxygen when they rant and rave.

It’s also why they commit so many typos when they punch the keys. They can’t see thru the red haze in their eyes. Either that or the keys stick to their fingers cause they drool too much on the keyboard.

wow our Aussie prime minister is on the list, at number 10. Thats quite cool.

#61: Those on first are world leaders. They should really be there and foremost. It’s not the money but the power and the influence of their sheer personality that determine their positions.

tita, it will be really wonderful if the kids can come on the kfp premiere, imagine how the reaction would be on the rc. was it also in cannes when angie brought maddox along for the shark tales premiere?

I want the kids to go to KFP as well, but maybe that’s a bit selfish. I wonder where AJ and BP stand on this issue? Isn’t there too much attention on their family as it is?

Can you imagine 4 little kids running around at the premier. We all know Angie is brave enough, but is Brad? Hmmm… have to wait and see.

I never said, I hate Brangelina. I don’t hate them. When did I say that? I said I think they should be lower in the list and I don’t find them influential. That doesn’t equal hate.

I have now read the article and I see that they topped the Entertainment section, but came #21 overall. But if you understand grammar, you may also understand that “Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie top the list of people within Entertainment at No. 21!” implies that they came #21 in the entertainment section when it says “entertainment at No. 21″. Jared has made the grammatical error not me and you don’t seem to understand that.

Sorry about the double post. The page never loaded and when I clicked it again, it posted twice.

#67: yeah, but you have to remember, she was still a single mom and she brought him everywhere then. It would be nice if she brought all her kids along, wouldn’t it? Even if it’s only on the red carpet…maybe she’ll bring them out for ice cream?

I believe that this list just shows the people who influence in general… the people who influence the mass. It’s a fact that this 15-year old influences thousands or even millions of young children and even some adults, by simply existing and acting like she is so much older. The same with Jolie-Pitt. They influence us because they want to.. they come public about everything they do and then we congratulate them and treat them as god. The politician’s as well… they have done nothing yet except from pre-election’s campaigns and a lot of talking. They all are an influence… so, to me, this list is realistic but the people in it are not necessarily to be congratulated.
the only positive thing is that the personalities included are really influential, not like the most beautiful-list where objectively ugly people figure among the top lists!

#71: What Jared was saying was that out of the entertainment people, they came out #1. Their category is quite different from the entertainment section. Yes, they are in entertainment but they are in the heroes and leader category. If you will look, it is not all entertainers in their group. Now do you understand?

Hello…Thanks Jared !Love this beautiful couple and their Children.I am very proud of this great Couple who give so much of their money to the less unfortunate,and who took time out of their lifes to adopt children,who would of suffered through their life,and they make alot of sacrifices to raise these children and to be loving caring people.If they had not adopted they could be going on vacations in Mexico just laying around on beach sun bathing and not doing nothing and just tanning,And having good times with friends,but no they are busy raising these little children,Blessing to Brad and Angie I will always keep you in my prayers for all the good you do……Love the Jolie-Pitts for always.Thank -You ,Brad and Angie for all the kindess and help you give everyone.From Africa to Nola and all the places you help.

#75: I meant heroes and pioneers…sorry.

the real tita @ 05/02/2008 at 3:55 am

NL…sorry but I got to go. It’s late. See you tomorrow.

Thanks for the new thread Jared.

WTG Angie and Brad!

Of course they do !

No other celebrities have that REAL INTERNATIONAL appeal, not even Oprah who isn’t as known in Europe (with the exception of the UK) got that like them, especially Angelina !

She is the epitome of the SUPERSTAR from Asia to Europe, From the Americas to Africa, her face is very recognizable and she has trenscended the ’single citizenship’. She has this distinctive and unique cosmopolite vibe : she is perceived as an American but also everytime a little bit of their own, the nationals because she is very cultural minded with a great respect and curiosity about the host country she is in.

Angelina has that and you need to go back to the stars of the silver screen to find others who had that, when stars were more international minded doing films in many countries of Europe (France, Germany, Italy to name a few) as well as in Hollywood.

Marylin Monroe, Brigitte Bardot and a few others had that, they were ‘wanted’ worldiwe and perceived as belonging to the whole wide world.

Today, only Angelina has that kind of influence on a very large geographical sphere and the fact that she is known as a talented sexy actress but also has a proven credible record in political spheres as a humanitarian make the combination unique in History and very powerfull.

She deserves it ! She is influential in all those spheres worldwide !

Why the heck are Hellary, McSenile and Bush on the list? Goes to show that the media is losing it too…

Isn’t it a bad sign that nowadays JP’s family private information is getting outside of their house very easily?

seriously first this pregnancy thing which X17 revealed and then now this French trip and where they are staying.I find it very bad sign that now Tabs look like they know something.I hope JPs will find the person who is giving this kind of information to media.

I have now read the article and I see that they topped the Entertainment section,
***************

They topped the Heroes& Pioneers section. I think Angie was in that section for 2007 and 2006, too.

Entertainment top was Lorne Michaels ( the producer of Saaturday Night Live)

Here is their five sections.

* Leaders & Revolutionaries
* Heroes & Pioneers
* Scientists & Thinkers
* Artists & Entertainers
* Builders & Titans

______________________________________________________

Hmm… I was hoping they were just a little too casual with the information and allowed it to reach a larger circle of friends. I certainly would like to believe that AJ and BP know who they can trust to keep their personal life under wraps.

Angie has said she can’t trust anyone. That would be pretty hard thing to deal with. I don’t know if I could live like that.

Lucky she is so fortunate in other ways.

I really enjoyed your post. Thanks!

After a day of bickering (my time zone), it’s wonderful to read that, and I couldn’t agree more.

is brad pitt in france? or only angie and maddox is in france..sorry but no pic of them.she really love mad more than brad and the other kids

hollywood royalty, amazing beauty

All nations committed crimes but the Armenian “genocide” was an idea which was created by Americans and Armenians at the time. Many American historians have proofs! to be continued.

________________________

Those historians even wrote that the press during the war wrote that Turks killed Buddhist monks!!!! LOL.

Unfortunately Turks are being supressed by their government so don’t have the courage to go after this story!

Turkey has many Jewish, Christian and Armenian people in the country. I know that they live peacefully.
__________________________

America is the # 1 supporter of this genocide bull, because this way America’s current genocide plus its “glorious” past (see natives) don’t get AS MUCH ATTENTION AS IT SHOULD HAVE!!!!!!!!

dumb *famous* is supporting coke-head obama??

lovin it!

I think they both deserved to be on the list and since they are a team it makes sense that they are together on the list. .

that cook AKA famous doesn’t have any working brain cells so I apologize to the fans for paying attention to “it”.
