Angelina Jolie Returns From Afghanistan
Angelina Jolie visited poverty-stricken families during a two-day visit to Afghanistan this past Wednesday and Thursday.
The 33-year-old UN Goodwill Ambassador commented that “the courage, resilience and quiet dignity of returnee families rebuilding their lives against the kind of adversity few of us can imagine shows the human spirit at its best.”
Angie appealed for long-term commitments to Afghanistan and greater humanitarian support for the population as the harsh Afghan winter approaches.

I saw the video of here there, and she did look so sad. Such a good woman she is.
http://celebritytoday.today.com/
Bringing my posts over here…and the ones for Jennifer Hudson too - because her nephew and sister are still missing soooo sad….
It’s beautiful to see Angelina continue the great work she’s been doing for more than 8 years now — pay no mind to the idiot haters, who don’t bother to find out that she foots the bill for all of her missions, and flies commercials for all of them AS WELL. She travels by herself and joins her UN team. That’s how she’s always done it.
For all you dumb jealous hater f**ks and fanistons criticizing her, if she had suddenly STOPPED her UN missions once she hooked up with Brad, you’d be roasting her alive for that too. Get it through your thick vile block heads - you wouldn’t know jack SH*T about these refugees, you wouldn’t see their faces, or no the conditions in which they live, if you hadn’t clicked on the link, read this post and come here to spout off you crazy hater jealous hag.
In other words, you’re just the kind of dumb COW that Angie is reaching…you are here to malign her, AS USUAL, but you’ve also read what’s going on right now, under your nose you stupid wench.

CLINIQUA @ 10/24/2008 at 8:22 pm OMG…I cannot believe it, about Jennifer Hudson’s Mom & brother…oh noooo - that’s soooo sad and shocking. I wonder what happened?!! Truly terrible. I hope they catch whoever did this quickly.
Dina #1, I just wanted to agree with you about that last interview…where supposedly AJ says ’slimy,’ and that one of the kids ‘weed,’ on Brad, and a few other things that rang so false. I’m not saying I’m 100% she didn’t say them, but I am about 99.9%. It just did NOT sound like her - someone is being duped, and I’d like to know who. The only thing I can figure is that perhaps she did an interview with a foreign journalist, so it was in another language, and someone translated THAT (sounds like a UK person), and so we get this odd interview with lots of British-isms, and other stuff that does not sound like AJ. It’s strange.
It’s so cool, how AJ was able to get out and get back, with NO ONE even being aware of it - damn, she’s like batman. Have you noticed Brad plays along - he distracts papz in the street (much like he did with Zahara in Central Park when Angie was at that moment in Iraq - maybe that’s why he hung out at the bar - to get them away from the f**king airport where AJ was gonna be. LOL Those two are seamless in the way they work. It’s like a f.u. papz dance. LOL
Got the W (2 copies, and the Hello! haven’t looked at it yet), but the W pictures knock my socks off - Brad did some divine work. The one that touches my heart the most is actually Zee in hat and swimming in those pumps. I almost welled up. I have a feeling Brad shot a bunch of stuff with that almost obsolete film he had to search for — pics that he’s keeping all in the fam, and that will never see the light of day. LOL We can only imagine and swoon. Man that one pic, he is all up in her grill…you can see those lips down to their minute texture, all moist and stuff — he had probably just kissed the stuffing outta her. LOL I’m trying to make out what Shi is doing to Mommy - looks like she might have a powder puff or something. It’s so funny, she has her Dad’s body, you can see it already. LOL long torso, bubble butt.
Love love love LOVE the whole shoot…W is going to make so much moulah with this, not to mention new subscriptions, then they have this one very cool big insert where they are inviting people to log on, and see the photos that started it all. The advertising dollars ALONE had to be incredible…does W usually have the creme of the crop of fashion in their pages..I mean gucci, prada, rolex, debeers, all of the huge exclusive houses and jewelry. I can only imagine the rates that they got for this issue.
Will report on Hello later!

2 dead at Jennifer Hudson’s house; Amber alert issued
Breaking news. Fox News just mentioned that there are 2 dead bodies at Hudson’s Chicago home. They showed video of the ambulances there and then went to commercial saying more details to come.
Update (per CBS, TMZ, Fox News): The victims are said to be Hudson’s mother and brother. A child is being held for ransom at another site.
Update 2: The part about the child being held for ransom is unconfirmed. Fox News and a few others said live on the air that a child was said to be held for ransom offsite, but this hasn’t been confirmed. A child found the bodies of Hudson’s brother and mother, so that may be what brought on the “child for ransom” story.
Update 3 (per CBS , ABC Chicago News): “Chicago police are now searching for a man and boy, believed to be driving on the North Side. The 7-year-old is wearing a tan jersey with the number 5 on it, and tan slacks. The shooting is believed to be domestic.” Also, “A search is under way for a young boy who is missing from the home. A child, possibly Jennifer Hudson’s 6-year-old nephew, is missing, according to sources. Police are searching for an SUV that was seen in the area, a 1994 white Suburban, Illinois license plate number X584859.”
Update 4 (per Fox News, Police Officer): The 7 year old boy is Jason Hudson’s son. There is an Amber alert out for him. The cops are saying this is a domestic issue. There was no sign of forced entry into the house. Two weeks ago, Hudson’s sister’s car was stolen; the relation of the two incidents, if any, hasn’t been determined.

# 1944 CLINIQUA @ 10/24/2008 at 8:40 pm from jjb..another update — MTV
Julian King, Hudson’s young nephew, who had been living at the residence, has been reported missing. Chicago police confirmed to MTV News that the child may be in the company of identified suspect William Balfour, an African-American male in his late 20s, who is considered armed and dangerous. King may be wearing khaki pants and a tan polo shirt with the number 5 on it, according to ABC News; the Chicago Tribune reported that he is 5 feet tall, weighs 135 pounds and has brown eyes and black hair.
Balfour had been living at the residence, according to public records, and may have had a romantic relationship with Hudson’s sister Julia, as vehicles are co-registered to both of them. Police said Balfour is believed to be driving either a white Chevrolet Suburban, 1994 model, with the license plate X584859, or a green Chrysler Concord, with the license plate 332K823.

blah blah blah to the haters/trolls and get a life you losers. You hate this woman so much but yet you all find your pathetic sorry arses on a thread about her. Angie own you all pathetic arses.
ROCK ON ANGIE!!!
Not impressed @ 10/24/2008 at 9:03 pm And right after she got back to her 20,000+ square foot rental and her servants and nannies, she sat her kids down and explained that mommy and daddy aren’t married because they are not mature enough to commit to one another, but they are committed to collecting as many children as they possibly can. And, gee mommy and daddy fell in love while daddy was married to someone else; but then again, she has no respect for marriage.
Theodora, you hit it dead on too. She makes movies filled with violence and yet she claims to be so against violence.
I’m sick to death of seeing this woman’s face. She is a liar and a hypocrit.
The only things worse than this woman are her obsessed fans who seem to think she reall
———–
Are you aware that the POPE, one of the richest man in the world is richer than her and has an entire country to his own ?
Are you aware that UN goodwill ambassador require a celeb status to magnify the problem so that the media will talk about it, public opinions would be intertested and government would be pressured to ger involved…that’s why manny princes and queens who are of doing missions !
And since when saving lifes should be traded because of the bank account the one who act charitable is loaded ? What kinda of sick logic is it ?
Your obscene and hypocrit !
Yeah When she was doing this stuff when she was 25 and brad pitt was doing a sixteen year old.
#26 oh plz which risk are you talking about she is surrounded by a plenty of boduguard, us army and an avalenche of journalists and cameras to take the pix …with her private jet just behind, they should also took a picture of the hotel that she was sleeping in there of 15000 $ the night .
I adore her for what she does.
you stupid and selfish people…shut the **** up…at least she does something good and care about others…what about you?You just sit on your ass and say crap about her…how many of you have done something like she does?Half of what she does??
Wow, that clip really moved me, the thoght that these refugees will may not have shelter for there families this winter is so awful.
I was sitting here worrying about our economy but watching this clip really puts things in prespective.
We really do have so much to be thankful for.
God Bless Angie for sheding light on this heartbreaking situation,
she could have easliy found legitimate reasons to not go, such as the twins eating every three hours. She probably had to pump a few days supply of milk for them.
What an amazing woman, she truly is reliving suffering.
Very emotional trip for Angie and watching that video just breaks my heart. It is so sad.
uummm I completely agree with you.
Way to go Angelina! Thank you and Brad for doing so much to help the less fortunate. Thanks for the new thread Jared.
Oh, Angelina, why don’t you just go to the beach, show your ass&cooch. You’ll get more publicity that way. Jared would have a thread for you for sure. To be seen with the destitutes of the world only brings you hatred.
Angelina Makes Humanitarian Trip to Afghanistan
(Getty Images)
While Angelina Jolie can’t walk the streets of just about any city in the world without making headlines, the superstar actress managed to fly under the media’s radar for two days this week when she spent two days visiting returning refugees in Afghanistan.
Angie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN’s refugee agency, spent Wednesday and Thursday of this week touring Afghanistan for the first time to meet and talk to former Afghan refugees as they attempt to reintegrate themselves into the country they once called home.
“The courage, resilience and quiet dignity of returnee families rebuilding their lives against the kind of adversity few of us can imagine shows the human spirit at its best,” says Angelina in a statement on the website for the UNHCR.
On Wednesday, the Oscar-winner visited the Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan, home to 20 percent of those who have returned since the Taliban was removed from power in 2002. Here, Angelina got to see first-hand how the large influx of returnees — 850,000 in Nangarhar alone — has caused a drain on much-needed resources.
And then on Thursday, Angie travelled to the capital city of Kabul, where the population has tripled in recent years, causing massive problems with the city’s ill-prepared infrastructure.
“Afghanistan has been struggling to absorb these massive returns,” explains Angelina. “It’s understandable. It’s one of the largest population movements in recent history.”

So what does impress you, honey? Aniston laying around in a two-sizes-too-small bikini, flashing her ass at anyone in camera range, hoping desperately that somebody will take her picture? Yeah, that would impress a twit like you.
