Angelina Jolie’s Monaco Monday
Expectant mommy Angelina Jolie takes her two daughters, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, almost 2, shopping in Monaco on Monday, the day after Mother’s Day. (Monaco is on the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and is completely enclosed by France.)
The mother-daughters trio visited a kids clothing store, Ricriation, where Angie bought Grand Prix shirts.
Looks like Zee and Shi came from ballet class–they both were wearing ballet flats and ballet-like dresses!

talk about delusional, you loons talk to AJ like she’s reading this celebrity gossip site! She probably can’t even turn on a computer. And, you think she’s admired for her brains…….please… she can’t string together a coherent sentence most times. I’ll grant that she’s pretty, has big lips, and her bod is about as normal as most womens, but brains…please. You’re going too far with that one.

Staying to Help in Iraq
We have finally reached a point where humanitarian assistance, from us and others, can have an impact.
By Angelina Jolie

The request is familiar to American ears: “Bring them home.”
But in Iraq, where I’ve just met with American and Iraqi leaders, the phrase carries a different meaning. It does not refer to the departure of U.S. troops, but to the return of the millions of innocent Iraqis who have been driven out of their homes and, in many cases, out of the country.
In the six months since my previous visit to Iraq with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, this humanitarian crisis has not improved. However, during the last week, the United States, UNHCR and the Iraqi government have begun to work together in new and important ways.
We still don’t know exactly how many Iraqis have fled their homes, where they’ve all gone, or how they’re managing to survive. Here is what we do know: More than 2 million people are refugees inside their own country — without homes, jobs and, to a terrible degree, without medicine, food or clean water. Ethnic cleansing and other acts of unspeakable violence have driven them into a vast and very dangerous no-man’s land. Many of the survivors huddle in mosques, in abandoned buildings with no electricity, in tents or in one-room huts made of straw and mud. Fifty-eight percent of these internally displaced people are younger than 12 years old.
An additional 2.5 million Iraqis have sought refuge outside Iraq, mainly in Syria and Jordan. But those host countries have reached their limits. Overwhelmed by the refugees they already have, these countries have essentially closed their borders until the international community provides support.
I’m not a security expert, but it doesn’t take one to see that Syria and Jordan are carrying an unsustainable burden. They have been excellent hosts, but we can’t expect them to care for millions of poor Iraqis indefinitely and without assistance from the U.S. or others. One-sixth of Jordan’s population today is Iraqi refugees. The large burden is already causing tension internally.
The Iraqi families I’ve met on my trips to the region are proud and resilient. They don’t want anything from us other than the chance to return to their homes — or, where those homes have been bombed to the ground or occupied by squatters, to build new ones and get back to their lives. One thing is certain: It will be quite a while before Iraq is ready to absorb more than 4 million refugees and displaced people. But it is not too early to start working on solutions. And last week, there were signs of progress.
In Baghdad, I spoke with Army Gen. David Petraeus about UNHCR’s need for security information and protection for its staff as they re-enter Iraq, and I am pleased that he has offered that support. General Petraeus also told me he would support new efforts to address the humanitarian crisis “to the maximum extent possible” — which leaves me hopeful that more progress can be made.
UNHCR is certainly committed to that. Last week while in Iraq, High Commissioner António Guterres pledged to increase UNHCR’s presence there and to work closely with the Iraqi government, both in assessing the conditions required for return and in providing humanitarian relief.
During my trip I also met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who has announced the creation of a new committee to oversee issues related to internally displaced people, and a pledge of $40 million to support the effort.
My visit left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis.
Today’s humanitarian crisis in Iraq — and the potential consequences for our national security — are great. Can the United States afford to gamble that 4 million or more poor and displaced people, in the heart of Middle East, won’t explode in violent desperation, sending the whole region into further disorder?
What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made. In fact, we should step up our financial and material assistance. UNHCR has appealed for $261 million this year to provide for refugees and internally displaced persons. That is not a small amount of money — but it is less than the U.S. spends each day to fight the war in Iraq. I would like to call on each of the presidential candidates and congressional leaders to announce a comprehensive refugee plan with a specific timeline and budget as part of their Iraq strategy.
As for the question of whether the surge is working, I can only state what I witnessed: U.N. staff and those of non-governmental organizations seem to feel they have the right set of circumstances to attempt to scale up their programs. And when I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq. They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible.
It seems to me that now is the moment to address the humanitarian side of this situation. Without the right support, we could miss an opportunity to do some of the good we always stated we intended to do.

Justice for Darfur
By Angelina Jolie
Wednesday, February 28, 2007; A19
BAHAI, Chad — Here, at this refugee camp on the border of Sudan, nothing separates us from Darfur but a small stretch of desert and a line on a map. All the same, it’s a line I can’t cross. As a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, I have traveled into Darfur before, and I had hoped to return. But the UNHCR has told me that this camp, Oure Cassoni, is as close as I can get.
Sticking to this side of the Sudanese border is supposed to keep me safe. By every measure — killings, rapes, the burning and looting of villages — the violence in Darfur has increased since my last visit, in 2004. The death toll has passed 200,000; in four years of fighting, Janjaweed militia members have driven 2.5 million people from their homes, including the 26,000 refugees crowded into Oure Cassoni.
Attacks on aid workers are rising, another reason I was told to stay out of Darfur. By drawing attention to their heroic work — their efforts to keep refugees alive, to keep camps like this one from being consumed by chaos and fear — I would put them at greater risk.
I’ve seen how aid workers and nongovernmental organizations make a difference to people struggling for survival. I can see on workers’ faces the toll their efforts have taken. Sitting among them, I’m amazed by their bravery and resilience. But humanitarian relief alone will never be enough.
Until the killers and their sponsors are prosecuted and punished, violence will continue on a massive scale. Ending it may well require military action. But accountability can also come from international tribunals, measuring the perpetrators against international standards of justice.
Accountability is a powerful force. It has the potential to change behavior — to check aggression by those who are used to acting with impunity. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has said that genocide is not a crime of passion; it is a calculated offense. He’s right. When crimes against humanity are punished consistently and severely, the killers’ calculus will change.
On Monday I asked a group of refugees about their needs. Better tents, said one; better access to medical facilities, said another. Then a teenage boy raised his hand and said, with powerful simplicity, “Nous voulons une épreuve.” We want a trial. He is why I am encouraged by the ICC’s announcement yesterday that it will prosecute a former Sudanese minister of state and a Janjaweed leader on charges of crimes against humanity.
Some critics of the ICC have said indictments could make the situation worse. The threat of prosecution gives the accused a reason to keep fighting, they argue. Sudanese officials have echoed this argument, saying that the ICC’s involvement, and the implication of their own eventual prosecution, is why they have refused to allow U.N. peacekeepers into Darfur.
It is not clear, though, why we should take Khartoum at its word. And the notion that the threat of ICC indictments has somehow exacerbated the problem doesn’t make sense, given the history of the conflict. Khartoum’s claims aside, would we in America ever accept the logic that we shouldn’t prosecute murderers because the threat of prosecution might provoke them to continue killing?
When I was in Chad in June 2004, refugees told me about systematic attacks on their villages. It was estimated then that more than 1,000 people were dying each week.
In October 2004 I visited West Darfur, where I heard horrific stories, including accounts of gang-rapes of mothers and their children. By that time, the UNHCR estimated, 1.6 million people had been displaced in the three provinces of Darfur and 200,000 others had fled to Chad.
It wasn’t until June 2005 that the ICC began to investigate. By then the campaign of violence was well underway.
As the prosecutions unfold, I hope the international community will intervene, right away, to protect the people of Darfur and prevent further violence. The refugees don’t need more resolutions or statements of concern. They need follow-through on past promises of action.
There has been a groundswell of public support for action. People may disagree on how to intervene — airstrikes, sending troops, sanctions, divestment — but we all should agree that the slaughter must be stopped and the perpetrators brought to justice.
In my five years with UNHCR, I have visited more than 20 refugee camps in Sierra Leone, Congo, Kosovo and elsewhere. I have met families uprooted by conflict and lobbied governments to help them. Years later, I have found myself at the same camps, hearing the same stories and seeing the same lack of clean water, medicine, security and hope.
It has become clear to me that there will be no enduring peace without justice. History shows that there will be another Darfur, another exodus, in a vicious cycle of bloodshed and retribution. But an international court finally exists. It will be as strong as the support we give it. This might be the moment we stop the cycle of violence and end our tolerance for crimes against humanity.
What the worst people in the world fear most is justice. That’s what we should deliver.

Oh honey, you try waaaaay too hard. Oh and by the way, what tape? I haven’t seen ANY tape, have you? Oh, you mean the “rumored” tape. From the place that said Brad wasn’t Shiloh’s real father. Hmmmm, that place. Okay. As I said, you guys are too hilarious. :lol:
and another thing, I distinctly remember a ways back all of you in here going on and on about how Angie and Brad will NEVER lower themselves to walk down the red carpet. That they had given up the trappings of Hollywood, yada, yada, yada. I bet Jared has copies of all that in his back files. That was a big Pride thing with you all, and since then they have gone down that red carpet a couple of times now. Oh how the mighty prideful have fallen!
I had to come out of lurking to respond to #730. When is this s**t going to be over? You and those idiots really believe that the JP’s give a d**n what X is doing? Why the h**l would Angie who is pregnant put on a swimsuit to compete with a woman whose only goal in life is to make c**pmovies, tan and exercise. Angie and Brad have a full life with their children, and awaiting the safe birth of their new addition to the family. I think that trumps a toned body any day. Eventually, the body will go, and then what?
This just goes to show how vacuous X is. Almost everyone is commenting how desperate she seems. Wake up and smell the coffee. She may have a lot of money, but there is only so much money can buy. Comments like these p***es me off to no end.
OK, my rant is over, got to go to bed now.
Angelina Jolie Joins Discussion on the Plight of Refugee Children
By Robin Wright
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, April 9, 2008; A13
Angelina Jolie nearly stole the limelight from Army Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker yesterday with her own remarks on Iraq at the Council on Foreign Relations, which had to move the standing-room-only event to the ballroom of the Washington Club to accommodate the crowd and television cameras. Paparazzi and gawkers swarmed outside.
The actress’s appearance on a panel discussing the plight of more than 1 million Iraqi child refugees was less upbeat than that of the U.S. officials who testified before two Senate committees yesterday.
“This population we’re talking about is the future of Iraq,” said Jolie, who has traveled twice to Iraq over the past year, as well as to Syria to visit Iraqi refugees. “So to reach them now, to help deal with their trauma and refocus their minds on a possible future should absolutely be one of our top priorities. We need these kids. . . . We need them to rebuild their country, to stabilize their country and eventually lead their country.”
Jolie also spoke directly to Petraeus’s views on the war.
“Petraeus would agree that a surge does not just mean it works if you get numbers of violence down,” she said. “It works if humanitarian aid is starting to increase and changes are able to be made. He knows that this is the time to start making some big changes and some big steps forward for the people.”
Jolie gently scolded the Bush administration for its slow follow-through on absorbing Iraqi refugees. The United States took in 374 Iraqis in January, 444 in February and 751 in March — in a year in which it has pledged to take in 12,000 Iraqi refugees, she noted.
The United States has taken in far fewer than many other countries. Germany has absorbed more than 36,200, Britain more than 22,000, while Syria has increased its population by more than 5 percent and Jordan by more than 10 percent from the influx of Iraqis.
Pressed on the impact of a decision on troop reductions on Iraqi refugees, Jolie joked, “I won’t give my troop-withdrawal strategy.”
Jolie co-chairs the new Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, along with Gene Sperling, a former Clinton administration economic adviser now at the Council on Foreign Relations. She appeared with Sperling, International Rescue Committee President George Rupp and Safaa el-Kogali of the World Bank. But attendees clearly came for Jolie.
James Gavrilis, who is on the Joint Chiefs staff at the Pentagon, said he would not have come by if not for Jolie. “I want to hear what her perspective is and how it’s different from the military and masculine perspective,” he said, quickly adding that, as an insider at the Pentagon, he already knew what Petraeus and Crocker would say in their testimony.
Several others conceded Jolie was the attraction but asked that their names not be used. A similar council event on the plight of Rwanda’s child refugees brought out 50 people last month, when Jolie’s presence was not advertised in advance.
Yesterday’s event even elicited reactions in Baghdad. “I was very sorry to miss her visit to Iraq,” Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih said Monday in a telephone interview. “This was one meeting I desperately wanted to have. The prime minister was not so keen on the meeting. He didn’t know who she was.” He then added: “This is a serious humanitarian crisis. We have had a serious debate in government over this issue, and some of us want to do more.”
Jolie’s event was not timed to the six-month assessment by Petraeus and Crocker. She was in Washington for an event honoring Mariane Pearl, the widow of journalist Daniel Pearl and subject of a movie in which Jolie appeared

Have you talked in front of major business, politcal and leaders of countries? Have you written a book? Have you gotten into the CFR? Have you? I did not think so. People from Colin Powell to Clint Eastwood have called her intellegent.

No one is jealous of Aniston. Mariah who is the same age has a better body than her and a better face. She just does not have the pity party chip that is included in every story written about Aniston.No one is jealous of Aniston. What has Aniston accomplished? She is basically Heather Locklear and five years from now Aniston will be doing the roles HL is doing.

Don’t let such articles piss you off. It’s from the National Ledger, it’s typical of them. It’s just too ridiculous to even bother giving it a reaction. I just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
Brad is looking at jenns bikini body is not told by Brads friends but made up by tabloid writers,when you leave a divorced spouse the last thing you want to see is The Birthday Suit.A lot of times X’s want to parade around with out clothes to prove to them self,look at me i’m better,But their is that something Missing the X did not have.
well yes, I have given a few speeches, but no I haven’t written a book. Do you actually believe she wrote those articles by herself, or a book by herself without help? Besides, those articles are written at best at a 6th grade level.
cute :) shiloh looks like alady
Oh please X fans give it up why are you here at angelina and girls thread,who gives a rats ass about the X,only you do.Or could you be Jenn………she has her pee boy and you haters still aren’t happy.Why because you saw Shiloh today and she is Beautiful and yes she is for real and another one on the way.Angelina and Brad are building family.No Room for Jennifer Aniston ass with this family.So who ever you are.Get on your Horse and Ride Out.
Shiloh is trumping Aniston’s bikini exhibitions and Meyer dalliance. She sells magazines. She sells clothes, shoes …
Great to see the pregnant Angie in bikini. The evidence is for everybody to see that she is REALLY pregnant.

Does your mama know that you are up so late playing on the computer? You had better go to bed, you don’t want to be late for school. I didn’t realize that you are in the 6th grade, that accounts for your lack of maturity.

Sad really, I pity you.

Honey, uhmmmm, how do I tell you this.
Hmmm, the few drunken “speeches” you gave at the local pub, shouting for 15 minuts on top of your lungs about how you can out fcuk anyone, just before you threw up??
they don’t count .
sheessh, talk about delusional….
:roll: :lol: :lol:
Now i will take Mariah any day.Now thats is what you call a real Hot Body,Dumb stupid blancos don’t even know a hot body,they think X is hot they are nuts.
#763, M&MS, i kinda know i shouldn’t let it get to me, but sometimes it’s easier said than done. So apparently Angie can no longer wear a swimsuit, because the idiot affectionally known as Maniston has somehow cornered the market on that. Nevermind that Angie is on a private balcony, and not flaunting her self for attention. And people wonder why Americans are perceived as gullible. It’s stories like these, that the idiot fans of the aforementioned idiot eat up, that perpetuates that image. God help us all, these are the same people who probably go out to vote.
talk about delusional @ 05/13/2008 at 3:29 am
You are spinning you own story. Again no one every wrote such a thing. Just because you believe it to be true does not make it so.
ROTFLMAO. X is a “decent woman”? B#tch, please.The only reason you know anything about Angelina Jolie’s past is because SHE is honest and talked about her issues and isn’t afraid to own up to them. Can you say the same about X? Hell to the no. Let’s count up some the things we know about X that she hasn’t admitted, shall we? Cuz, ya know…a DECENT WOMAN would admit her shortcomings and mistakes and be able to move on with her freaking life! But hey, you started it, so here ya go…
1. She’s a coke addict. PMBP dumped her because he said she and her friends had too many drugs around and he didn’t want to get drawn back into that life.
2. She’s had at least 3 nose jobs, 1 hairline adjustment, botox, juvederm and collagen lip injections. She admit to any of this? Not bloody likely.
3. She periodically says she quit smoking - yet there’s always pix of her with a butt in her hands. Case in point: Her lezbo-kiss Dirt guest spot…came on the heels of a nose job and she told the crew she stopped smoking. Two weeks later pix of X and Court driving around LA in her Range Rover. What’s in X’s hand but a butt. HER CIGGIE, not Court’s.
4. She told Brad she’d have his babies. You see her with any kids? Nope.
5. Her hairstylist and bested buddy says she took male hormones for years to keep her weight down and it caused her to miscarry. X ever say anything about this to Brad? Not hardly or he’d have been gone years earlier and her A-list life would have been at an end.
6. She says she doesn’t like the media spotlight…yet she’s always on the beach in a too-small bikini with her cooch and ass on display. How many times have we seen this in the last 3 years? I lost count at 25,793.
7. More than a few sources say she had a lesbo affair with Marky Mark’s cousin while filming “Rock Star”. And let’s not forget all those Goddess Circle evenings that drove Brad out of his own house. Goddess Circle or Sapphic Circle. At least one of X’s best buds is an admitted bisexual, Kathy Najimy, and she’s “known” X since their days in NYC.
8. She’s a weed fiend who’ll only admit to “liking” to smoke “occasionally”. How does X define “occasionally”? As “every damned day”.
9. Writers on her tv show said she’d sleep with them for a few extra lines in a show. And let’s not forget 10 years of extra perky nips when Courteney & Lisa Kudrow didn’t seem to have that same problem. Chicken cutlets in the bra, possibly? Did X ever say why her nips are permanently perky? As. Freaking. If.
10. “I did, I do and I will. I hope to be on my way to a family by this time next year” Her answer to the question of wanting children. That was in 2005. See any rugrats under too-small bikinied ass? Nope. And you never will.
You want me to go on? Cuz it could get ugly if I do. Don’t EVER dare a J-P Fan to play the dozens with you, moron, because you’ll LOSE every damned time.
You’re now excused. Go back to Dlisted, IMDB, FF, Perez or wherever the hell you came from. I’m done with your lame ass now.
people from Europe are weird, they like leather skinned, botox stiff faced, butterfaces, with scars from plastic surgery. that is fresh…………? (snicker)
Have no pity for us,we are very happy people,we wish no one death and who cares what jenn does,she will be her own destruction.We are so happy about her pick of pee boy left overs from Perez Hilton,notice how perez is keeping quite about jen and x.I wonder who paid the cuban off.
