Angelina Jolie: War of Necessity, War of Choice
Angelina Jolie arrives on the set of her latest movie Salt in New York City on Thursday morning (April 23).
The 33-year-old actress was seen carrying around the book “War of Necessity, War of Choice: A Memoir of Two Iraq Wars’ by Richard N. Haass. Part history, part memoir, the book provides a compass for how the United States can apply the lessons learned from the two Iraq wars so that it is better positioned to put into practice what worked and to avoid repeating what so clearly did not.

WOW the most beautiful woman in the world. no one can compare.
the real lou @ 04/23/2009 at 11:29 am Damn,a lose dress and the use of the word “wife” is driving the haters over the edge. A lot of celebrity couples are referred to as “Husband” and “Wife” even though are not legally married.I don’t recall your panties getting in a bunch about Naomi Watt’s being called Liev Schreiber’s “Wife.” And BTW Naomi and Liev have been a couple since 2005 just like Angelina and Brad.

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn? Calist flockheart and Harrison Ford (until recently), Jack Nicholson lived with Anjelica Huston for 17 years before they split.
PT, I posted the below on the previous thread about Brad’s flying. I am reposting it only because I didn’t want that statement youfound about Jodie Foster and Patricia Cornwall to go unanswered. Cornwall and Foster have both been the victims of crazy stalkers. We all know Jodie’s story but Cornwall had her own Jolie-hater type internet stalker and decided to fight back.
Here’s my post:
PT, that is not true about Cornwall. Foster never did any such thing.
There was a crazy incident in which she was sort of involved in 1996 or 1997. Cornwall had an affair with a married female FBI agent and her husband, also FBI, got crazy and claimed this was the reason. He took a minister hostage using a fake bomb in his church in Manassas VA (suburb of D.C.) and tried to lure his wife there. He claimed he was driven crazy by his wife’s affair with Cornwall. The affair was admitted to by at least either Cornwall or the wife or both of them. I don’t remember now.
.
In 1997 the husband received a 23 year sentence for the plot to kidnap and murder his wife - I seem to recall dynamite sticks in the trunk of a car involved. I think his name was Bennett.
.
That Jolie is taking on this role is interesting because Cornwall has been stalked and attacked relentlessly on the internet by this guy [ Leslie Sachs] for ages. He wrote all kinds of vile stuff about her and claimed she did illegal things. The guy was a magna *** laude grad of Harvard with numerous degrees including a doctorate - so much for crazy internet freaks bragging about their exalted schools and inteligence. Crazy doesn’t limit itself to educational types or IQ levels - crazy is an equal opportunity employer. Anyway he tried to make her life miserable and “take her down.” Gee, where have we heard that before?
.
Anyway, Cornwall eventually sued this guy for defamation and won. Myabe even more than once. She has very good lawyers. Her case illustrates though the difficulty in going after internet character assassination. Though her case was a while ago and lawyers have become much more savvy & creative recently in going after internet defamation. In fact her lawyers have taken the Court order against this “defamer” to the internet providers and I think they have it so any link to that guy or any of his sites, etc. redirects you to the court order that essentially says he is a liar and these things are lies.
.
These ignorant defamers think that if you put IMO or JMHO after some defamatory statement that it automatically exempts them from libel. As if it is some protective talisman. LOL! It doesn’t. It isn’t. They don’t quite get it.
.
Maybe Cornwall will inspire Jolie to go after these internet lunatics and shut down their lies and defamation. Or maybe not. Jolie is quite zen about these things. She seems to just let them roll off her back.
.
See. I told you all that there was this great small airport near their Long Island home [ maybe 10 miles away ] that provided all kinds of flying sevices. From private lessons to mechanical work on your plane to chartered executive plane service. This is really an ideal location for them on many levels.
.
I think we’re getting more pics now because the paps have finally figured out their haunts or have paid off enough tipsters. Someone was suggesting that there were pics of the JPs going into the Stop & Shop. Has anyone seen anything like that?
83 rae @ 04/23/2009 at 11:33 am I love this woman! We all have pasts and make mistakes, but she owns up to hers and makes no apologies. She has really matured and become a compassionate person. I love her gutsiness and the fact that she lets no one dictate how she’s gonna live HER life! She is so talented and beautiful-Do your thing Angie! Keep shaking the haters off! Love you!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Amen!
she also does not feel the need to keep talking about the past in every interview!
Now that AJ is seen with this seemingly new and “not-easy-to-read” kind of book, expect a lot of people will be looking forward to buy this. Her influence, though indirectly or unintentionally, is that strong & can make people curious enough to read the book themselves and learn something from it.

=============================
HEY ‘SANDY’ DONT BURST A BLOOD VESSEL QUITE YET. LOL WE WANT YOU AROUND TO SO WE CAN LAUGH OUR AZZES OFF AT YOU AND YOUR STUPID WANNABE MOVIE STAR AS SHE TURNS INTO A DRIED UP PRUNE, STILL BELIEVING SHE’S A “GIRL-WITH-A-BANGING-BODY” JUST CHASING HER DREAMS FOR AN OSCAR. LMFAO!.
SHE’S IN NY AT THIS MOMENT SHOOTING AND RE-SHOOTING THE SAME SCENES OVER AND OVER COS HER STUPID AZZ IS TOO DUMB TO EVEN DO A STORY THAT SOOOOOO MIRRORS HER LIFE. THE TURKEY BASTER BWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA
.
I KNOW YOU WANT ANGIE TO STOP DOING MOVIES COS YOU THINK THAT WILL GET RID OF THE COMPETITION TO GIVE YOUR 40-YEAR-OLD COUGAR A CHANCE, RIGHT? WRONG! LOL
.
ANGIE SAID SHE WILL G R A D U A L L Y CUT DOWN ON HER MOVIE MAKING. SHE WILL ONLY DO STORIES THAT GRAB HER ATTENTION. SUCH MOVIES MAY COME ONCE A YEAR OR ONCE EVERY TWO YEARS OR EVEN LONGER INTERVALS. IN ANY EVENT, DONT YOUR WORRY YOUR LITTLE PINHEAD ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME SHE SPENDS WITH HER CHILDREN AND HER MAN. THEY ARE A LOVED UP BUNCH - SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THATS WHY YOURE ON A BLOG HATING ON PEOPLE YOUVE NEVER SEEN IN REAL LIFE.
.
ANGIE IS SO FULL OF LOVE ….. SEE HOW PROUDLY SHE WALKS. THATS HOW A CONFIDENT, REGAL, LOVED UP WOMAN LOOKS. TAKE NOTES, BYTCH.

# 107 andamentothat @ 04/23/2009 at 11:54 am The Ange is looking good.. And no she is not pregnant.. Just because we see pics of her in a loose top and the trench doesnt always add up to pregnancy.. The chest ladies is what doubles in her case.. so cue into that!
Dont forget she is filming an action film so doubt that she is preggers.. and since there are some fans here with info that she may be filming a cemetry scene, this look may be for that.
whatever it is, she is rocking the look..
And who was the poster who claimed that they didnt look like a Barbie, while raising her kids.. well guess what neither does Ange, she looks healthy and beautiful and is raising the kids just fine. And to all those women who think its absolutely impossible to read a book or look good while raising children, I hear you.. but you have to make time for yourself or the mommy guilt thing will envelop you. Make time to look good and start with a short story and graduate to a book.. and believe me, you can do it.. Have faith..
+++++++++++++++++++++
andamentothat!
Hey how have you been?
By the way, brad’s thread is the second time Jared has called Angelina his wife. What up with that? I guess they might as well be married with all those kids.
^ ^ ^ That would be intelligence. Not inteligence. Duh? I hate that we can’t edit our posts.
In case clarification is necessary: the affair was just betwee Cornwall and the married FBI female agent. Her FBI husband was not part of the affair. The FBI husband took the minister hostage in the minister’s church. I think the husband was planning to blow up the wife with the dynamite.
.
Also, in case anyone is interested I believe Cornwall married her partner in Massachusetts. I wonder if there was any conflict between Foster and Cornwall over the fact that Cornwall is proudly out and Foster never had the courage to come out. And, yes, I think with Jodie it is about courage. She could have been a great spokesperson for gay & lesbian rights and gay family rights when they really needed it.

You have got to be really desperate to be going back at least seven years to find something/anything to criticize Angie for. :lol:
so OK was right! love her.
:lol: :lol: :lol: The trolls are having a meltdown. and I love it.
Now you are seeing a Movie Star. Not the wannabees we were inundated with over the past week. :lol:
gush are Angelina and Jennifer filmiing close together location wise? I don’t know anything about New York but it seems like they are near each other.

========================================.
Sweetheart, is this some kind of self flagellation? I just don’t think it’s a good idea to advertise your vices so loudly and in BLUE no less.
.
Try to forgive yourself and move on. That’s a dear.
HA! @ 04/23/2009 at 10:47 am
She has plenty of time to read during film breaks. Sometimes an actor will be on camera filming maybe one hour during ten. The rest of the time they are in the dressing room. Just depends on how the shoots go for the day. Folks like Jolie, Kidman, Clooney et al are professional enough that they don’t bit*ch and moan and cause a disruption because they aren’t the center of attention unlike a Lohan et al.
And you know there was once a People Mag spread on Mary Tyler Moore with a picture of over a hundred needlepoint pillows she made during her breaks. So if MTM can finish over 100 pillows doing a slow art like needlepoint, I’m sure AJ can finish a book now and then.,

So important to do a movie and leave 6 kids at home with a nanny or two.
My kids were with me when they were young and they really trust and love me because of it.
Also, while I was raising them, I didn’t look like a perfect Barbie doll because I put them first.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come on honey be honest. You were with your kids all the time because you didn’t have a job and was/is on welfare. Any working mother would disagree with your little theory.
Secondly, you didn’t look like Barbie, well because you couldn’t even if you try.

I’m sure their people are making sure they don’t come in contact with one another.
And if they did, they are both savvy enough to know any type of negative behavior would result in headlines…which Jen would probably jump on as she can’t let go of the divorce and Brad. Could be wrong, but Jen takes every opportunity to cry us a river.
Also, I’m sure security has been beefed up if fans are making threats.

who knows, but we do know that jennifer is filming with Brad’s ex Julliete lewis. You know the one he dated when she was 15 and he was 26? why don’t you go chew on that and leave Angelina out of it.

Hey GC
I thought I read that Jodie Foster had come out a few years back. Some Dr.s office magazine or something?
In any case, in all fairness to Jodie Foster I Definately read that she went through years of difficulty after John Hinckley stalked her so aggressively, I can’t say as I blame her for not wanting to be high profile.
Uma Thurman had a very aggressive stalker in her early years after Dangerous Liaisons, and she actually said she stopped acting for a couple of years because it disturbed her so much.
it’s funny there’s not more on Aniston working with Lewis. Now that’s interesting stuff that some people would get a kick out of. Why not write some stories on that? I wonder what Julliete and Jennifer talk about on set? I wonder if they get along, etc. So much to work with and it’s being ignored. LMAO!! Focus is still on the Jolie.
I was actually a nanny for a while and I can tell you from experience: having a nanny to take over your child-raising duties because of pure choice is a very selfish decision. The parents in my case were very nice people and very loving to their kids, but this doesn’t excuse the fact that they put their own individual desires and goals over raising their kids, which if YOU bring them into this world, you SHOULD do if it’s within your means, either by staying at home for a while or reducing your work hours!
I understand a lot of people HAVE to work long hours and leave their children to others while they do so, but people like Angelina Jolie, who work so much out of pure choice, are really jipping their kids. I was practically raising their kids as I spent many more hours a day with them. I can imagine that filming a movie takes very very long hours on set…so she is probably not seeing these kids that much, and no, having them visit the set does not count.
I know you can try and defend this selfish choice by saying that a lot of people grew up in daycare or nannies and they had good childhoods, but having seen both sides of the coin, I can confidently say it is definitely not the same thing to be raised by your parents versus spending most of your time with others.
Kids need a LIFE with their parents, they deserve for their parents to raise them and not somebody else. I firmly believe that if you choose to bring somebody into the world, it is your inalienable duty to raise them and not hand them off to somebody for most of the day because you feel like doing something else.
Brad’s wife @ 04/23/2009 at 12:50 pm Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

You can put your children first and still look good. You don’t have to look a mess to prove how good a mother you are. I hope you do something to yourself, if not for you ,for your children so that you do not embarrass them or your husband when you go out in public.
