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.”

same person!
NOW WE HAVE A WITCH ON THIS THREAD!!!
How’s everyone? I think I have to hit my pillow early as I kind of feel like woozy. Good night!
I am an Angie fan. Brad makes her happy. Angie makes him happy. Obviously, they truly love each other. They finally found each other. Their priority is the family they’ve created. They support each other. They respect each other. Yes, Angie & Brad are genetically-blessed couple but it is not about their physical looks that they love each other because they know if this is the main reason, love would easily fade away. Love comes to them in a most unexpected time & place. What is sweeter is they were not looking for it. It was love who knocks on their hearts’ door.. However, they only welcomed that love when they knew everything is in order. Now, they are happy, & who are we not to feel the same way for them. I can see love in their eyes, & so the way they treat their children. I am not a psychic but i can really feel they will last together, forever. So, let’s embraced their happiness & full of love.
Angie and Brad found the secret of “partnership” success.
1) Respect
2) Responsibility
3) Committment
4) Maturity
5) Positivity
6) Mutual Understanding
7) Sense of Community Service
8) Affection
9) Wisdom and Compassion
10) Common goals
The wealth and fortune they achieved together are combined and being used wisely not only for their own benefit but for the benefit of unfortunate human beings.
This is the reason why they are blessed, blessed, blessed.

Thanks! I loved it!
There is a TV show here in Australia and the host asks the guest who they would turn gay for. At first every woman said Angelina Jolie. Then it became so predictable. Now people try to come up with something different.
If I was going on Rove (That Australian TV show). I’d say I’ll turn gay for :
Heidi Klum
Geisel Bundchen
Elle McPherson and
Angelina Jolie!
Then I’d say :
Ok they are all goddesses but I’m mildly obsessed with Angelina…Ok I’m completely obsessed!
Really no-one else comes close. I must be straight.
#480 Ping: Bravo…Great Great comment so true.
Yup… I WAS AN X fan…..NOT ANYMORE…..I NOW LOVE ANGIE!! I could easily be part of the mini van majority coz my life sort of mimics JA(separation with my husband now with somebody else) but I love what Angie stands for…her humanitarian work, her good acting skills, her obvious dedication to Brad and kids. She had made herself a better person and that inspires me. No matter what other people do to you, your happiness really depends on yourself. So, I will never be part of the “pity me” minivan crowd. A big turn off is that these people keep harping about the past…I think, if Brad and Jen had a solid marriage to begin with, nothing and no one could break that marriage. Unfortunately the two of them grew apart. Brad was even quoted saying that he was unhappy even a few weeks after the marriage. JA strikes me as a clingy individual. Her pain is real but she did not handle it well. Also, people are catching up on her SLY moves..when she tries to be on the limelight everytime there is a new about B and A…..ex) Cannes; She’s thought to have tough security around her and voila…pics of her frolicking with John is out and about….She’s kinda sneaky….Let’s all move on…If Jen can have a closure about her past, she will learn to move forward and maybe her fan base won’t diminish day by day as it stands.
Why do i admire Angie? because she’s a total package of any human being. She possesses what i call the 5 Bs:
B1- BRAINS (check). She may have not finished her higher education but she was schooled in prestigious schools such as Beverly Hills HS, Lee Strasberg (theatre acting), New York University (directing/ sreenwriting). She also got her UK & US pilot licenses. She keeps upbreasts on global or foreign affairs. Reads a lot of books. Also, when she was younger, she learned ballroom dancing, fencing, boxing. Now she is learning French. For her, learning is a continuing process. Her smart answers to every question really impress me every time. She never gives stupid answers. Very seldom she gives monosyllabic response. Instead, her answers are mostly something that we can ponder on. By the way, if she’s not smart, she can’t be a member of Council on Foreign Relations. She is not afraid to lobby whatever causes she believes in. And people can really see that she has something between her ears. That’s why she is respected by a lot of dignitaries, VIPs & people from all walks of life.
B2-BRILLIANCE (check) - Her talent especially in acting blows the mind of every producer, director & actor she has worked with. The awards & accolades she received only show that she is not just a star but an A-list professional actress. Her co-workers in every film she makes have only very good words to say about how brilliant her performance is.
B3-BEAUTY (check) - Her facial asset is never boring to look at. The more you look at her, the more she becomes beautiful & beautiful. Her mesmerizing eyes, luscious lips, the enigmatic smile, hair, the glowing skin, the eyebrows, the mole (which I think has a mind of its own) etc. ..are just WOW! Her name is always mentioned by patients in every cosmetic surgery there is.
B4-BODY (check) - She is always on top of every list or polls conducted about her body. She is always sought after by designers & photographers. She may not be in total perfection but her sex appeal is a 10. Her poise, her movement, her walk, everything.. the way she carries herself. The X or IT factor is just there. Words to describe is not even enough what makes her so stunning that lots of people from whatever gender or sexual orientation never fail to admire her.
B5-BENEVOLENCE (check) - This is the most striking & most important of her many assets. Her kindness to human regardless of race, culture is beyond question. Her voluntary efforts to help (be in financial or to really witness the life of the unfortunate) & eventually became a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador is what I admire about her the most. Her book “Notes from My travels” is very inspiring, & its profits all went to UNHCR. In other words, she has a good soul, & it’s just second nature to her.
well said, #484 and #485..
I could also add another B to my post re 5Bs why I admire Angie(#484) to make it B6.
B6-Brad (check)- need i say more. Well, the real person or the real Brad that Angie loves.

I think you need to take your prozac. You’re going crazy just by looking at Angie’s pic that’s how powerful she is.

I love her without make-up…she is more beautiful without it!
LIZ #2 i think your just jealous, Angelina is gorgeous, you wish you looked like her!!!!
she looks plastic.
what a waste
The first baby pictures of the twins should be worth more than 10m. Angie’s vanity cover and the false rumor of the twins birth had caused a lot of interest and fascination. Haters wether they like it or not are as interested as the fans. Fascination and interest with angie and her family will continue even after she becomes a grandmother.
Angie looks great. She and Brad look perfect together. The kids are sooooo cute.
Angelina with or without makeup is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think she’s very pretty, but the cover is just a bit much, the big hair, the big boobs, the red lips, like they’re trying to make her into some sort of Barbie Doll.
It’d be nice if she kept her private family life a little more private though.
#484
AMEN, AMEN AND AMEN.
At CNN, Angie & Brad were mentioned re false alarm (rumor) about the twins’ birth plus the VF interview of Angie about Brad’s thought that pregnancy is sexy. Well, it is amusing that CNN said, “everything Angelina does is sexy”.
