OlderAngelina Jolie Backs Barack Obama?
Angelina Jolie opens up to the German edition of Vanity Fair about everything from politics to her newborn twins. Here are some choice quotes via Us Weekly:
On why she could be voting for Barack Obama: “Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family but would not be a reason to vote for someone.” (On Monday, Brad carried a notebook with a Obama sticker on it.)
On why she’s proud of the USA: “I am very proud of being American, and all my children have got American passports. For me, our family is just what America is - a melting pot, a mixture of many different races and nations. My children should be proud of their Asian and African roots, but that in no way means [is] a lack of respect for the fact that they and their parents are Americans.”
On her twins Knox and Vivienne (3-months-old on Sunday): “It’s a damned arduous business, and we are often simply whacked out because it is twice as hard with two babies as with one. But it also makes for double the fun. After we flew back from Europe, we were all suffering a bit from jetlag. We were all in bed early, but at half past four, they were awake and making a real racket… Brad took care of them. He said to me, ‘Go back to sleep, you’re back to work in the morning,’ and moved into the kids’ room with them. He is an astounding father, full of devotion… [Knox and Vivienne] have quite similar, stable rhythms. Every three hours they get hungry, then I have to satisfy them. But that’s OK, the two of them are totally sweet. When you see them, you think they were made for each other. They laugh together, they sniff each other, touch each other. It is beautiful.”
On struggling to find alone time with Brad: “Sometimes, at the end of the day, we try to retire to the bathroom to be undisturbed,” she says. “But then [the kids] hear the water running and want to come in and, yet again, we are all together. But that doesn’t disturb us because they are great kids.”
On how fame has changed motherhood for her: “I would like to have more freedom, especially to have the chance to be more spontaneous with my kids. Would I like to be able to walk through the streets with my kids? Of course. Would I like to be able to wander around Manhattan and buy them an ice cream like other mothers? Of course. But it is not possible. On the other hand, every morning I wake up with the people who are the most dear to me in the whole world. That’s why I don’t feel isolated from that, which is important to me. It helps, of course, that Brad knows all about it, but he’s experienced it even more than me. We often talk about it and try to make the best of things. But I am very grateful for our life and everything that we have.”

Medulla and FYI seem to be the only two on this thread with a clear view of the truth. Peace and afro grease!

Uh, pardon me for pointing out the obvious, but…THEY’RE THE SAME PERSON! HELLO!
***********************************************************************
Why don’t you have Jared check this info and he will confirm for you WE are 2 separate individuals with the same views?
You may think you’re the head bit$h on this blog but all you’ve succeeded in doing is making an a$$ out of yourself.
Didn’t you tell another poster who called you out not so long ago that your posts about the JPs were nothing but speculation on your part? (I believe that was when you put in your 2 cents worth as to why Mickey the bodyguard was no longer around). You as much as admitted you had no clue about them and yet you direct so much vitriol towards other posters who don’t share your “speculations”. I don’t happen to view Brad Pitt through the same rose colored glasses that you do. That’s not speculation on my part. That’s FACT.
This is the same man at the ripe old age of 33 gave an interview to Time Magazine in 1997 had this to say and I quote “Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I’m a f______ actor! They hand me a script. I act. I’m here for entertainment, basically, when you whittle everything away. I’m a grown man who puts on makeup.”
Now contrast that to Angelina who in her 20’s set out to educate herself on the world around her. Yet somehow his humanitarian efforts are seen as more authentic while hers are derided as being self serving.
This is the same man who was quite content to tan, smoke cigarettes and pot with his ex-wife until he suddenly had an “epiphany” at 40 yrs old? Sorry, I’m not buying it.
My take (sorry…speculation) on the W photo shoot is he got into a snit when Angie blabbed to the world (as per usual) about how he got those tattoes on his back. So now she has to prop him up and praise him to the high heavens (with a choir of rabid Brangelina fans providing the background music) and allow him to take unflattering pics of her to show off his “artistic” side. Make no mistake, he is going to profit from these pictures same as he did back in 2005 with the photo shoot promoting MMS.

Once Again you hit the nail on the head. I noticed that not many media outlets picked up the story about the tattoo on his back. Oh that would make poor pitty look like an idiot.
Here’s a very short video of Brad & Angie leaving the Changeling premiere last week…blink you’ll miss seeing Angie…

While I’m doing laundry I thought I’d look for the link for the story about X trying to see Brad at the hospital. I thought I originally saw the article on a WENN newsfeed. They were/are infamous for carrying a lot of gossip. The IMDB archives their WENN stories, so I started searching through their arcives. I haven’t found the article I’m looking for yet…but…this one made me LOL…

Aniston Collapses on ‘Break Up’ Set
8 July 2005 | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
And yet she STILL tried to see him in the hospital. Twit. Is it mean of me to laugh?
Since we’re tripping down memory lane…ROTFL at this US Lies Weakly screw up…anyone else remember this? The last line of the story is classic Janice Min CYA….
Hehehehe…can’t you just imagine how pissed Min was when Angie said in Vogue that they made the decision TOGETHER to adopt Z?

Brad held his hands up and said he was sick of sitting on his couch and doing nothing.Good for him now those people in nola who are back in their homes dont care that he started at 40.Many people respect Angelina’s humanitarian work.She has access to Prime Minsters and Senior officials.Those are the people who count not the tabs.Sorry but Brad doesn’t carry any weight outside the US.
Exclusive Yesterday, 15.10 clock in Berlin-Tegel Angelina back!
By Marcus Hellwig
She laughs. Radiates. Is back. In Berlin. The city, so they may be.
With daughter Zahara (3) on the arm rising superstar Angelina Jolie (33) from her private jet. Clock at 15.10, the Hollywood beauty and film Beau Brad Pitt (44) yesterday with her six children at the Tegel Airport landed.
Happy. And tired.
No wonder: After the coolest family in the world on 1 October had left Berlin, she completed an exclusive mammoth program.
New York, New Orleans, Nice and back to Berlin!
Even the reisegewohnten Jolie-Pitt kids seem exhausting. Sun had Maddox (7) after the arrival of a bodyguard from the aircraft be worn. Even Pax (4) Shiloh and (2) did not want in just a few steps away mini-bus running on the arm were taken.
The twins Knox and Vivienne (3 months) meanwhile slept calmly in their Maxi-Cozy basket. The convoy was then the family in their luxurious quarters Palais Park Castle “at the Wannsee driven.
