115 umm Oprah was pregnant at 14, will at that age do you think there was intimacy…joy and love involve? do you think at that age she will ever say being pregnant is a beautiful thing…hmmmmmmmm
Congrats to Brad and Angie !
#67 in response your comment, Angie stated it several times in her interview that she is very happy and satisfied……she is enjoying her life as a mother. Go ask Okra if she is happy, with her money and fame…..
YES, CONGRATULATIONS TO BRAD AND ANGIE…….NOW FINALLY TABS ARE JUST REPEATING AND COPYING WHAT OTHERS ARE PRINTING,
FINALLY THEY HAVE TIME TO ENJOY THEIR PRIVACY.
you are so right. See that is exactly what these people(including Forbes) don’t get about Angelina Jolie.
When it comes to fame and money, Jolie is all about her family and kids. She has repeatedly said in interviews that she pass over roles and works only 4 months a year so that she can spend the rest of it with her family.
Someone need to tell the Gray guy that Jolie skipped the exactly 10 million for a top 5 position on this list in order to spend time with her kids.
only reason why jenho was even in the list is because of her divorce with brad pitt. Jenho’s career would have gone down the toilet like the other cast members of friends if not for her divorce. Jenho and jenho fans should be grateful that if not for brad and angie jenho would have been washed out and forgotten by now.
wat maniston at 17? she should be rank 71 instead.. stupid list
I think Forbes is wasting their time and money in producing and publishing this list which will do nada in our economy except publish a rating to gain attention of what we already know, that Oprah, Tiger Woods make the most millions.
I agree with some of you. Brangie deserves their ranking for their humanitarian efforts. But the others, please don’t even want to mention their names. Forbes is not worth paying for.
Test. My comment is not posting.
lol, look how these two are always posed in pictures, like they’re mr and mrs america. They’re friggin hollywood actors for god sakes, actors, acting. What a joke, or 2 jokes,
agree with you. I don’t like oprah she turns my stomach but people will pay her alot of money. Why do people pay her?????????
I think Angelina should be #1 to and Brad should be rank higher.
Jennifer Aniston is garbage and should not be there at all.
*****************
Why does Oprah turn your stomach? Are you jealous of her? The woman who is so powerful that she is a self-made billionaire?
Angelina does not hold a candle to Oprah, Oprah yields way more clout than Angelina.
I like Angelina, but she is no Oprah, and never will be.
__________________________
I’ve come to find Oprah quite ANNOYING (..I used to be an admirer of Oprah’s)…and though I respect Oprah’s ‘hussle’ as a self-made black woman with money, power and charitable works…there are ALOT of things Angie can do and has accomplished that Oprah cant!…we really shouldn’t compare…
Angie has not ‘SOLD OUT’ like Oprah in order to make her millions. Angie has allways spoken her heart, good or bad, and has probably suffered for it. She would probably be number ONE on the forbes list if she had less controversial view as Oprah has had, and if she said all the things American housewives eat up….but our Angie’s ALWAYS been her own person. Oprah only just recently started deviating from what the status quo is, cause now she can. Angie has been living and speaking boldly whether she had influence or not.
Angie is an accomplished actress who has an oscar, as well as critical accolades and has earned millions in box office…
Angie is ALSO a self-made woman who carved out her OWN unique persona (sexy,humanitarian,EVOLVED, maternal, internationally known, outspoken,unusual,interesting,bold,ball-busting, bi-sexual, and beautiful artist.
Oprah has NEVER raised kids, and has NEVER been married. I think these two things help you to grow as a person. Oprah herself has said she doesn’t know how mothers do it. Angelina has not only taken on motherhood (biological and adopted…which must be hard), but she’s maintained her status as a sought after actress, a caring humanitarian, and a loyal supportive partner to Brad Pitt (Not easy, as others like Chinny & Gwinny have FAILED miserably in that position!).
Lastly, Angelina continues to amaze me with both her sensitivity to others, and her being able to maintain her ‘coolness’ as someone who is a GENUINE soul who also doesnt suffer FOOLS (or the Hollywood B*ll sh*t )gladly. If an interviewer asks her a question, she tries to answer it honestly…even if she knows her critics will tear her apart…
Angie would NEVER be as presumptuous as to take sides in a divorce the way Oprah has obviously done with Brad & Angie. She is also evolved enough to admit her past mistakes, while also being mature enough to still love and maintain a close friendship with her Exes.
While she was forced to break off contact with her father for her own peace of mind, you can tell there is a lot of love there (as much as there is pain), but she was stable enough to realize distance was the best thing for both of them under the circumstances, and I think she handled being betrayed by her father in the media very well. She’s talked about the people she loves, and has expressed her deep feelings for friends, husbands, lovers, her mother and brother alike….Oprah on the other hand rarely speaks about ANY of her family after being on tv for over 20 years! Do we know who OPRAH’S FATHER AND MOTHER are? Does she have any siblings? With all Oprah’s talk of spirituality, I believe she has attachment issues that negatively affect her decion whether to have children, whether to get married…etc.
For her age, Angie is the more successful, evolved, bold, giving (of herself/ time/ life) woman….
Here’s to our ANGIE!….one in a million…
Peace to all the Jolie-Pitt fans. You guys ROCK!!!!!

So true.
That’s why she and Maniston was such a good friend. We never heard nor spotted Maniston talking about her parents and 2 step brothers, nor ever seen her spending holidays with them. it’s always the Cox- Arquette, her hen friends, and whoever is her new boyfriend. We have seen a lot of pic. of X smooching, cuddling , PDA with whoever was her bedmate then , but never seen her with her mom, dad and stepbrothers.
X and Oprah have the same illness - attachment issue. Career and money obscessed, fear of motherhood, dislike children. the only different is O is a much intelligent woman , generous and charitable. X is the stingiest celebrity in HW. I thought she would be donating at least $1 million on her latest Oprah’s give away show. For godsake, she ’s richer than Drew Barrymore, Drew donated 1 million , she should at least scrap out the same amount as Drew, but can’t believed it , she had the shame of pulling out only $30,000 , Wow, that’s the money she paid her plastic srugeon for just one sitting for her regualar botox . Shame on you Chinnifer Maniston!
Curious, I ask what they do with the blood. “Well, I’ve opened his vial,” she says. “Poured some on me. I’ve painted with it. There’s something very primal and romantic about it. I’ve considered pouring it on my clothes but I think people might be a little upset about it. I’m trying not to upset people.”
DIRECT QUOTE FROM A JOLIE INTERVIEW.
and NOW she says this
About Billy Bob’s blood:
No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I’m proud to have been his wife for a time. I don’t believe in regrets. It’s a dangerous habit to get into — it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.
I usually don’t compare what someone said in their young days and now. There are very few young people who have never embellish something they did just to appear cooler according to their perception of coolness at that age. I think this is the case with Angelina. When young one says load of craps. My rule of thumb is if this load of craps that critics label lies does not hurt anyone else but the dispenser, it is ignorable, forgivable. It’s something any normal developing person live through so that one later day in life (sooner for some, much later for others) one looks back and felt embarrassed about it, laugh about it as one remembers how fun such thing made one felt back then for having shocked people, and conclude that one has lived life as God has always intended–to experience, to err, to learn with each blunder, to evolve. Those who has never erred, whether in words or in actions, to me, haven’t really lived.
Angelina is entitled to have minor discrepancies in her stories of her past as every one else. It’s not a crime. She’s just a human being and has never tried to influence anyone’s way to live the way Oprah has. Even with charity, she has never asked anyone to give to charity, she simply gives her own money. I’m sure God thinks she is a perfect human being with a good mixture of flaws and beauties, just like Oprah and all of us.
Whatchathink, the question was about the necklace not her blood painting.
the NECKLACE wasn’t a vial.
#140: Did you not see the locket that Billy Bob was showing the papz and the journalists? It was a locket with a thumbprint of blood on it. Did you see the vial? No, because the media was the one to perpetuate that myth!
Oh, poor real tita. Angelina is a true eccentric artist and YES she talked about having vials of blood which she painted with. she painted “until the end of time” for billy bob in their blood and I’m sure other things. you ppooor poor vanilla brad pitt fan. (try google blood painting ). She’s not on drugs or depressed anymore and maybe she got over her fascination with her lovers blood. poor poor delusional brad pitt fans. ..maybe now you will get over Angelina and move on.
lol Famous
GO OPRAH
I’m sick of Oprah’s media manipulation, enuff already!
Brad and Angie….#1 in my book.
