Angelina Jolie: War of Necessity, War of Choice

It’s so funny that I am probably one of the most honest and open about my background and you choose to believe that I am lying because my opinions don’t fit in your belief box.

First and Last Post: you make a much more eloquent and coherent argument than the others on here; at least your are intelligent. The flaw in your argument is that you base it all on an analytical model, whereas, and without taking from the validity of your basis, I base my own on human experience, belief and principle. Is it subjective? Yes. Could it be flawed? Yes. Is it applicable in all cases? No. Could it be applicable in this particular case? Maybe not, maybe yes. For the large part, from my own personal experience both in my own personal life and work, beliefs and principle, I agree that different things work for different situations. I have an open mind and even was a big believer in my earlier youth in having a full-time career after kids; however, after living the situation first-hand, discussing these issues with other nannies, and observing the children who grew up with full-time nannies, I formed an opinion otherwise. I just don’t agree with bringing children into this world or committing to being a parent and leaving them for such extended periods of time to be practically raised by others. You don’t have to agree and you may choose to base what a child needs/deserves on an analytical model…but I think you’re failing to take account obligations and principles behind your analysis.

MIMI: If your educational and professional backgrounds are indeed are you state them, it is quite sad that you still come across as such an uneducated and immature person (given the level your celebrity obsessions) despite said backgrounds.

To whoever said that it isn’t true that I am from a highly educated and successful family if I was a nanny…you’re only proving your own ignorance and preconceptions. I won’t even bother any longer with that one…

She is 100% preggo!!

Sarah Harding: I’ll be the next Jolie
By ANDREI HARMSWORTH - Thursday, April 30, 2009
.
Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding wants to continue her foray into acting - and become a Hollywood action star like Angelina Jolie.
.
The blonde bombshell, best known for her sultry voice and sexy dance moves with her girl group, has recently taken on several screen roles.
.
‘I like Angelina Jolie characters, where she plays like the action lady,’ the 27-year-old said. ‘I love cars, I’m bit of a tomboy, so I could definitely see myself doing something like that.’
.
…..But he might like to know Harding doesn’t only have her sights on Jolie’s career - she fancies her boyfriend, too. She told Manchester’s Key 103 radio station: ‘I’ve still got a bit of a thing for Brad Pitt.’

Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick lives normal life

.
Ed Westwick doesn’t get recognised by his fans.
.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ star - who plays lothario Chuck Bass in the popular US show - isn’t approached by people in the street because they have no idea who he is.
.
He said: “Can I go out and buy a pint of milk? Yes, I can. After the first season, I could come back here and no one knew who I was. But now it’s changing. It comes with the territory.
.
“When I’m doing press and in a hotel there are paparazzi around. But when I’m in my day-to-day life people don’t know who I am and I’m left to my own devices.”
.
But the 21-year-old British actor is adamant he will never shy away from the limelight like some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
.
He explained: “I’m always going to go out and do what I want to do. It doesn’t pay to close yourself off. You see situations with certain people where it has literally become a frenzy. You look at people like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - people start to forget they are professional actors.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie most powerful celeb couple
.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the most powerful celebrity couple on the planet, with a greater star status than even the Beckhams, a new study showed.
.
12:07AM BST 09 May 2009
.
Using a formula to work out how much stronger they are together than they would be individually, the A-listers get a perfect score of 30 out of 30, ahead of 25 for David and Victoria.
.
But at least this is considerably higher than the mere 2.7 scored by Wayne and Coleen Rooney, showing they have some way to go to become football’s genuine power couple.
.
At the bottom of the list compiled by heartburn and indigestion brand Gaviscon Double Action is TV presenting pair Vernon Kay and Tess Daly who could only manage a lowly two points out of 30.
.
Psychotherapist Paula Hall was commissioned to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of celebrity couples using a Power of Two formula to see how well they work as a power couple.
.
The formula measures factors such as current and future earning power, public profile, career to date and predicted time left on the centre stage as a celebrity couple.
.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, nicknamed TomKat, reached a respectable 18.3 for their joint success as a Hollywood golden couple.
.
Like Pitt and Jolie and the Beckhams, they have considerable earning power as a couple, not just as individuals with both partners contributing towards their overall fame, talent and success.
.
Others in this category include, for instance, rapper Jay-Z and partner Beyonce Knowles who have a Power of Two score of 17.5 and actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith who score 15.5.
.
According to Paula Hall’s calculations, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick score 14.5 but Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow only manage ten out of 30.
.
1 Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (30)
2 David and Victoria Beckham (25)
3 Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (18.3)
4 Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles (17.5)
5 Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith (15.5)
6 Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick (14.5)
7 Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow (10)
8 Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher (3.8)
9 Wayne Rooney and Coleen Rooney (2.7)
10 Vernon Kay and Tess Daly (2)

……..Though CIARA says she “wouldn’t mind doing more musicals,” she is itching to do an action-adventure movie, “maybe something like Die Hard. .

Or I could have an Angelina Jolie moment, do something like she did in Tomb Raider. I love that kind of stuff - the power in it, you know?”
