The Angelina Effect. goog read. see link below

ANGELINA Jolie, Oscar-winning mega-celebrity, companion of Brad Pitt and mother of six - including five-month-old twins - is crouched over a breast pump in a hotel room.

“I was just pumping,” she says, by way of introduction. “It’s such a funny thing to do, like a dairy cow.”

Right now, her twins, Knox and Vivienne, are safely stashed somewhere in New York City, while Jolie is in a suite at the Waldorf Astoria.

Pitt has the rest of the brood – Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 – in Berlin, where he’s shooting Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious ********.

“Neither of us is allowed all the kids at once, because the other one gets lonely.”

Jolie, 33, seems so familiar from magazine covers and billboards that it’s almost disconcerting meeting her in person.

She’s often portrayed as a saint-like figure in a sweeping empire-line frock, with a clutch of adorable urchins balanced on her hip and her handsome beau careening into the scene on a dusty dirt bike. Or else, she’s clutching a gun, ready to shoot.

Today, there are no weapons and no brood. But there’s no mistaking her. There are the grey-green eyes, pillow-like lips, almost translucent complexion and inky tattoos peeking out from under her cream silk Ralph Lauren dress.

Clint Eastwood, director of her current release Changeling, describes her as having “one of the more striking faces on the planet”.

Jolie is seated, poker-straight, on a maroon couch with tatty cushions between us and a nibbled biscuit on the table.

She’s here to talk about the true story set in Prohibition-era Los Angeles. Jolie plays single mum Christine Collins, whose son, Walter, disappears.

Looking for good publicity, the police department reunites her with her ‘son’ who is, in fact, a drifter kid from Iowa looking for a free trip to California.

Collins confronts the police, insisting the child isn’t who they say he is, and ends up being slandered as an unfit mother. Her only hope comes in the form of community activist Reverend Gustav Briegleb (played by John Malkovich).

Halfway through the film, the storyline shifts to include serial killer Gordon Northcott and the infamous Wineville chicken coop murders. Northcott kidnapped and killed 20 young boys between 1928 and 1930, and it’s highly likely Christine Collins’ son was among those slain.

“I’d heard it was a wonderful script,” says Jolie, “in that Collins was an extraordinary woman. I wanted to know the story and couldn’t put it down. Then I thought, I never want to do a film like that. I didn’t sleep well that night; I couldn’t get the thought of anything happening to my kids out of my mind.”

A film about child murders might seem an odd choice for someone who’s such a devoted mother, but Jolie says it was the bond between the character and her son that attracted her to the plot.

“(There’s) the other side of it; the fight this woman had and the idea of justice and never giving up hope. Instead of being upsetting, it became this inspiring story. I thought making the film was a final piece of justice for her; I suddenly found myself wanting to tell it.”

There’s a scene towards the end where Collins’ workmates invite her to a bar to listen to a radio broadcast of the Academy Awards.

She has a bet on It Happened One Night winning best picture, which you can’t help but view as a sly nod at an Oscar. Does she think Changeling stands a chance of winning? “I never think that,” she says, “because, in the end, you just have to make a film you love.”

As a director, Eastwood is something of a king-maker – think Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby.

“For me, Clint was the big deal,” Jolie says. “Just being able to work with somebody I’ve admired so much and then to meet him – he was everything I hoped he’d be.”

It says something of Jolie’s character that she has no agent or publicist, and her manager, Geyer Kosinski, has been with her since she was 19. “He’s my friend. He kind of handles everything.” (It was Kosinski who introduced Jolie to Billy Bob Thornton.)

After so many years in the industry, Jolie (or is it Kosinski?) certainly knows how to play the fame game. “Every time you do a movie, you should do a magazine,” she says, matter-of-factly.

For Changeling, there’s a spread in the high-end US magazine W, photographed by Pitt using Kodak Tech Pan film – which hasn’t been manufactured for four years (the rolls were found on eBay and sourced from Israel).

“He’s a real artist, more so than me. He has an amazing eye and is a real student of art,” she says.

On the magazine’s cover, Jolie is pictured breastfeeding, and there’s a glimpse of a tiny hand.

What tangent is this thread going off on?? I was looking forward to reading posts on what an idiot sell-out BP is, and all there is, is this Angie love-fest. What a bore!

Maniston should be ashamed of herself for milking the divorce of a childless union, 4 years later. I don’t know Brad Pitt, but from all i’ve read and heard from/of him, I am convinced he would not have left her had they had children together. The classy way for her is to say “no comments” when asked about her ex and his partner. She should know by now what the HW media expect of HW actors when they promote a movie. They have to talk about their private life. Angelina only talked about her and Brad’s, she doesn’t mention Jennifer any more. So if Jennifer thinks Angelina took a diss at her, it’s just her being paranoid, and on top of that the people surrounding her probably profit from the continuation of the saga, so they won’t give her the right advice. They don’t care if she looks pathetic, as long as her pity parties sell and benefit them. Poor Jennifer indeed. Rich but a pawn in the hands of her handlers.
.
Jennifer doesn’t need more money, but the Huvanes (and with them the Conde Nast mags and their writers who probably moonlight for the tabloids), Kristin Hahn and her production company, John Miser for his upcoming variety show, etc that do need the money that her pity parties bring in.
.
She reminds me of an under qualified boxer tossed in the ring just so the show can go on, without any consideration for the outcome.

It took the fraud 14 days to come with complete attack

After the Rolling stone interview Jennifer won’t praise Brad anymore.

Re # 215…I know..she’s such an idiot. I love that the writer included all of that…how long it took her each time to come up with an answer (7 days later, etc.) - they are trying to make people see what a calculating stupid cow puppet she is…probably had to interrupt Huvane getting blown by John to ask him what she should do. LOLOLOL

wobbler30 @ 12/13/2008 at 10:03 am but she for some reason blames Angie for her failed marriage and continues to hit out at her and praise him why is that?
+++++++++++++++++++++
Here is my take on that. X has been desperately searching for ANYONE who would rocket her back into rapidly slipping “A list” status with no luck so far.

Since Brad dumped her:

Brad has created a beautiful family with Angelina. Brad and Angelina have had critical acclaim, for their acting.
They have received accolades for their humanitarian efforts.
They are on all magazine covers almost weekly.

X has had little to no interest in her films.
Her acting is frequently described as “wooden and lifeless” .
The only interest generated in her EVER, is when her name is linked to Angelina’s.
X has had 15 or 16 “fresh new starts”
8 or 9 “hot new romances”
112 pregnancy rumors

Most women have a hard time identifying with an incredibly wealthy woman, who can afford a team of style/ body/ hair management peeps to follow them around all the time.

BUT most women can identify with getting dumped. Because we have all gotten dumped at one time or another. We just are not all lucky enough to make a career out of it.

Any woman who has gotten dumped can relate to the satisfaction of, “He wants me back…” fantasy. She tries desperately to feed into that.

X would take Brad back in a NY minute. In fact she would sell her left Boobie implant just to have a picture of the two of them taken. Right now she is a joke! (The Aniston Boyfriend arm pillow), her movies cannot get distributors, the ones that do get distributors have critics that all pan her acting.

X wants that “A” list status back. It is not so much Brad, the person, it is what he can do for her.

Angelina was “A” list on her own, critically acclaimed, successful and involved in humanitarian efforts long before Brad came on the scene. She had everything X wanted, before she had Brad.

Then Brad fell in love with her and she got him too!

X and X fans cannot see that they are responsible for their own happiness and contentment, or for finding meaning in their lives.

They are always looking for someone else to make it happen for them and to blame when it doesn’t happen. They are perpetual victims.

So X is always going to feed into that “evil other woman” cliche and “hurt feelings victim” persona because she would die rather than admit she was equally responsible for her relationship falling apart.
She gets more support that way.

All of these nudie photos she does now are supposed to feed into that “I bet you want me back now” fantasy. Keep her dumpee fans happy with their own fantasies.

She is too shallow to realize that the profound connection of a daddy to his babies and the mother of his children transcends anything that a memory of a past worn out relationship would offer.

She is banking on Brad acting like a gentleman, by not responding to her “Oh I didn’t know they would be printed” remarks. She is too stupid to know the protective nature of a parent when she starts dragging their babies’ names into her drama. Brad is about to beyotch slap her publicly!

Her fans keep saying that she only answered a question. Well, she had 2 weeks to think about the question, why can’t she just say “It’s not worth revisiting the matter. I am happy with John, I don’t have time to dwell on the past. I know you have to fill the pages of the magazine, so how about me telling you about all my achievements in my movie career (oops, there was no awards or nominations to talk about), my romantic life (oops, I have no kids, no real man, only a paid douchebag to be my companion), my philanthropy (barely something worth talking about). You are right, let’s talk about my 4 year old divorce. I have a lot to say about that.” And there you have it.

Why haven’t brad been asked any questions about maniston, you can dictate what questions are asked,she’s a liar.

wobbler30 @ 12/13/2008 at 10:03 am JA the pornstar thanks for explaining that. All of those things are true but there is still a part that I am missing and don’t understand. CC said that Brad told JA about his feelings but she for some reason blames Angie for her failed marriage and continues to hit out at her and praise him why is that? Another question per the RS interview Brad said he and Angie were together when he was filming Babel well forming when did he start filming that?
+++++++++++++++++
I posted to answer part of your question and it is in moderation…never to be seen again. So….to make a shorter answer.
X would give her left boobie implant to be back on Brad’s arm and “A” list. Again. She would give it to even be photographed with him.

Angelina was critically acclaimed all on her own before she met Brad, X never was. He was her “golden ticket” .

Add to that the fact that most women cannot relate to a women with 110 million dollars and a team of personal beautifier / handlers.
BUT most women can relate to someone who got dumped, cause almost all of us have gotten dumped at one time or another.

With all her movies becoming box office poison, her failed romances, lack of any critical acclaim regarding her acting and X reduced to nudie photo shoots, her association with Brad is still the biggest money maker she has and the ONLY reason anyone pays attention to her. She will write a “tell all” next.

Angie doesn’t care what people think, I am sure she told Brad to ignore most of what X blathered on about.
I think that her dragging his kids into her drama was the last straw for him though.

Brad Pitt’s Make It Right houses in the Lower 9th Ward have stirred a lot of talk — not only because of their megastar backer, but also for their futuristic designs and cutting-edge green components, such as rain gardens and solar cells.

Most people either love ‘em or hate ‘em.

The current issue of Architectural Digest, which hit the stands this week, explores both the project and Pitt’s philosophy behind creating it.

In the article, writer Gerald Clarke takes a stroll with Pitt through the first of the Make It Right houses to be occupied — the pumpkin-colored raised cottage featured in InsideOut at Thanksgiving. Along the way, Pitt talks about his love of architecture, his concept for rebuilding and life in the paparazzi lane. (”We’re big bounty for them. They make a good living off us,” he commented as half a dozen aggressive photographers stalked him outside the residence.)

Pitt bases his solution to this country’s overly consumptive society on William McDonough’s “cradle to cradle” design philosophy, which calls for low-maintenance homes built of planet-friendly and recyclable materials.

“It’s radical thinking — zero waste — but actually very simple,” Pitt tells Clarke. “Simple in the sense that it follows the ecosystem of nature. Why can’t we redefine how we do things?”

Against this backdrop of 21st-century thinking, Pitt seems to understand the sense of place and tradition that defines New Orleans and its neighborhoods. It is a place, he realizes, where people want front porches.

“New Orleans has its own mind, its own thing,” he is quoted as saying. “It has a real spirit. It’s the most authentic of all American cities.”

Pitt has been busy these past few weeks promoting his new film, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” filmed in New Orleans and opening Christmas Day. He also has used the opportunity to promote New Orleans in general, and Make It Right in particular.

In a Los Angeles Times piece published Dec. 5, he says of the Lower 9th Ward, “It will be great to see barbecues in the backyards and kids riding their bikes on the streets again.” According to the article, the actor sees the film as a “love letter” to New Orleans: “There’s a sense of magic here, so it made this fantastic story almost believable.”

It’s nice when someone sees the magic, and nicer yet when someone with influence expresses it. As Pitt tells Clarke, people tend to answer his phone calls.

Perhaps this will be the good-news story of 2009: Stars who make headlines for philanthropy rather than bad behavior.

The Los Angeles Times thinks so: Its recent article reports that members of President-elect Obama’s circle of advisers are floating Pitt’s Make It Right project as a model for the kind of celebrity activism that his administration would like to encourage.

Here in New Orleans, we’ve seen the way that anyone — youth, celebrities, everyday residents — can make a difference.

Perhaps the country soon will see that, too.
