OlderAngelina Jolie - “Vanity Fair” July 2008
Angelina Jolie looks lip-smackingly good on the the July 2008 cover issue of Vanity Fair, out next week. Here’s a preview:
On being pregnant with twins: “I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”
On her international family: “When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”
On daughter Shiloh’s birth: “We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”
On nannies never sleeping over: “We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher—wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Bel-gium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”
On artists as parents: “Artists raise their kids differently,” she said. “We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

I love Angelina, but I caught that statement too. Many people from all walks of life and different careers do that with their children. Artists are not the only ones.
Me too, I love her but here I agree as well.. She didnt put it well
===================================
Loves it when Jared flip names.
Vickifromtexas, I’m fine thanks. I hope your day is going well. :)
And every word that comes out of her mouth is like reading the Bible… it becomes spiritual.
I suffer from depression… and she is the only thing that lifts me up.
I don’t take meds. And I came from a similar family background as her, in that my father was emotionally, mentally and verbally abusive to my mother and me (except i had no siblings and my father lived with us.. what a daily terror and I had no one to lean on at home) and we were extremely poor… they’re still poor and living in a bad situation right now and I feel horrible that I am not doing so well myself to help my mother out of this rut. She coudn’t even work because of how mentally abusive my father was. I can understand why Angelina would cut out her father off. Fathers like this pull you in with guilt, only to belittle, degrade and shun you. This sort of thing causes depression and lack of motivation for the people who suffer at the hands of these Narcisstic/Borderline Personality Disorder parents.
And I remember Angelina stating in a recent interview that her mother was like a LION when it came to her children. My mother is just like that! She suffered depression at the hands of my father, but she was a fighter to anyone when it came to me, her only child, and she stood up to my father for herself.. only to end up losing so much physical and mental energy, as a result. My mother was not a perfect mother… but my father didn’t do anything to help improve her.
ANYWAY, I digress! I’m just saying that I look at Angelina as a role model and hopefully emulate her ways and become a stromg woman like her.
Now if u go to ETonline, it says technical difficulties, LOL. I guess they have to change their story now. :)

get help
NEIL….why..cause I can see bullsh!t coming and YOU step right in it….suggest you get help or a better mentor.
don’t like her hair, it’s too fluffy, over all she’s a beauty.
#218: THOMAS, THAT IS A ROCK YOU ARE HOLDING…NOT THE WEENIE. PUT YOUR GLASSES BACK ON!

Hey Aeon -
LOL. Those JenHens think MENSA is an old-fashioned term for menstruating. Not a whole lot of deep-thinkers in that crowd. I figure their average IQ is somewhere aound 70…which is slightly above the trolls’ average of 68.
Good Afternoon BAMPZSville
Thanks for the new thread Jared - been quite the afternoon here today, lots to catch up on. :)
waves to vickifromtexas, Faye88, the real tita, Felinelilly. Hope everyone is having a great Friday.
I can’t wait to read the entire article. Did someone say this magazine comes out Monday?

The picture has less airbrushing, in fact they left her mole. She looks sexy pregnant with just her stunning face and big hair and of course the boobs and not even showing her belly.I cant wait to see the other pics inside and read the full interview.
————————————————
Unlike the Shishido(?) ads, they left her mole alone. (I love that mole.)
By the way - the time I had with Brad was GREAT. Too bad you’ll never, EVER get to sleep with him. Try not to be too jealous.
All the nuts are back .all so jealous even stupid thomas with filthy nastiness trying to shock people with his sick mind,He can comment all he wants he going to get caught because jared has his e-mail address.
This picture does not do her justice at all—–quite the contrary actually.
She represents natural beauty, these last few years anyway, and this shot is everything but natural.
———–So, not liking the picture————–
The interview…………weeell, I don´t know why, but it doesn´t really sound like her at all.
And since when does she consider herself or Brad being artists?
(strange………but that´s just my humble opinion)
Waving to Felinelilly. vickifromtexas, Faye88, PT and all the JP fans on board.
#230: If you don’t want a response, don’t post comments meant to draw a response. Easy, ain’t it?
As PT says often enough, it’s not rocket science.
5 lines on her arm.?..shes weird getting them longatude tatts
hello therealtita,thelookoflove, and anoble. i hope you are all having a great friday. = )
could she be any more beautiful?
i hope there are pix of her and Brad together with him loving his baby momma.
hello faye88 and all jolie pitt fans. = )
Thanks for re-opening this thread for posting, Jared. Now please close the other ones with all the fake rumors. Sheesh, what a circus. I never saw some much fuss over nothing in my life. I like, admire and respect Angelina, but Jesus please us, the way the media and the fan sites are carrying on, you’d think these babies were the Second Coming. I’m not believing anything until I read it in The New York Times.

LOL, that’s my line, not PT’s.
#246: oooops, sorry Jill. Forgive the forgetful cause she doesn’t know what she is saying. Sometimes, the ditz in me takes over.
Angie looks amazing. :)
is this page working again?

I’m sorry, she is full of it, a c-section doesn’t hurt. whatever! I had one and it hurt like he!! for the first 3 days. getting cut open doesn’t hurt, she’s a liar.
****************************************************************
Get over yourself, honey. I’m sorry you went through such pain, but you’re not everybody. If I told you I had a wonderful pregnancy with no morning sickness whatsoever, you’d probably call me a liar, but it wouldn’t make it any less true. Every woman’s pregnancy is different. You may have a low threshold for pain tolerance. I’ve had abdominal surgery, BTW, and once they gave me the painkillers right after the operation, I had no pain at all.
she is a beautiful goddess!
