Angelina Jolie: World Refugee Day Commemoration

I love this woman more and more every day! What are people expecting her to look like? not like it’s a movie premiere or the red carpet..geez

ah well can’t please everyone. Her true fans support and love her and that’s all that matters

The hatred directed at Angelina comes from narrow-minded bigoted people. Angie is beautiful but has an exotic look from certain angles, plus she adopted Asian and an African child. Unfortunately there are people who dislike her for those reasons. And they will find fault with everything she does and everything about her. But there are more people out here who are not blinded by hate and see Angelinga for the good, kind-hearted person she is.

Angie’s past is probably less wild than many, many other celebrities. But look at all she has done since 2000. None of these things she had to do to get good PR. Angie had a solid fan base since the late ’90’s. She had nothing to prove or hid. She does humanitarian deeds because she wants to be of service. She gets PR just by herself. She could stay in Hollywood and get all the PR she wants. But she extends herself because she wants to help others. That is very obvious and takes hard work, big heart, courage, commitment, sacrifice and a non-lazy person. If someone refuses to see this obvious fact, then that person is filled with hatred and prejudice. If someone keeps throwing out the Brad divorce as to why they hate Angelina, again they are really being ruled by their hatred for people who do not look like them.

Can you believe that some are talking about looks when she is trying to show that people are going to DIE cause that lack BASIC necessities.

However, since some mentioned her face… she has one of those faces that seem to change… never the same…one day you wonder what the fuss is about and the next day you totally get it (and not because of makeup) Her face is not just beautiful it is an INTERESTING face.
And, she does not look old as some are saying, she looks a bit tired and her face is not as round as in her youth BUT still it is incomparable. How many faces are used as a benchmark????
I am just as bad as the rest of you who are talking about this!!!!!

All the haters are just bitter and jealous that their idol can never command the respect and admiration Angie receives from around the world. On such an important occassion, trolls and ugly fans of jen ho can only focus on looks, the millions of people displaced and suffering is of no importance to them, but what do you expect from people who warship Hw No 1 VAIN sitcom actress, botoxed face, fake eye colour, fake blond hair and fake tan. Angie may be a lot of things but you can never call her vain, shallow, unexciting or lacking in confidence. She is young, strong, smart, confidence, engaging, exciting, inspiring, beautiful inside and out with KIND heart, all the things maniston can never be in our life time.

Oops posted it twice, I was trying to edit my first post.

@lostchick:

Do you have to be in college to have the brain? Consider William Faulkner, who I believe did not finish high school, but is one of the best writers in the world.

You can be in college and still look ignorant and stupid…

Can somebody please explain to me what’s so terrible about Angie’s past. I just don’t understand it. I’m a fan for a very long time and know of her past, but don’t see anything that justifies that hatred. What terrible things did she do, that her past has to be brought up to justify the hate for a person that is giving, compassionate, loving, strong, intelligent and kind.
I just don’t get it. Maybe being exposed to all that negativity just numbed my brain.

You are absilutely right. Angelina did nothing horrible in her past. I have never heard anything about her hurting others or doing anything really that out there.
.
If you are a simple minded person used to a vanilla and rather mundane life then anything out of the ordinary seems bad. Angelina is anything but vanilla.
.
These same people are the same ones who never achieve much because they think bold and daring, is once again, bad.
These are mental descendants of the witch hunters.

Angie’s past is probably less wild than many, many other celebrities.

that’s very true.

Angelina Jolie isn’t just a pretty face for an ugly reality

A broken elbow kept Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from attending, a “bad hair day” was the joke about why emcee Anderson Cooper was replaced last minute by NBC’s Ann Curry, but we bet it didn’t matter to most in attendance at the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) event Thursday – the clear star of the panel was actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie.

Jolie, who has been working on helping displaced refugees since 2001, moved the crowd with her emotional speech at the National Geographic Museum in honor of World Refugee Day, serving as a model for other celeb-activists

“I am here today to talk about millions of desperate families, families so far out from civilization they don’t even know a day like this exists on their behalf,” she began her speech which she used as a chance to illustrate the real people behind the statistics.

The slim actress dressed head-to-toe in black looked as stunning in person as she does behind the camera, but it was easy to see her more the humanitarian on one of her 30 missions to Africa than the starlet and wife of Brad Pitt while she spoke with deep emotion (even tearing-up) while recalling her times with the “most impressive people” she has ever met.

A pregnant Afghani woman “taught [her] how to be a mother”…a little girl that survived in the jungle for two weeks with her brother “taught [her] how to be brave”… and a paralyzed boy victim to a gunshot wound in the back “taught [her] the strength of an unbreakable spirit.”–lessons she no doubt uses on her six young children, two of whom (Maddox and Pax) arrived with her last night and checked into the Hay Adams Hotel.

Jolie later cried listening to Humanitarian of the Year Award winner Rose Mapendo speak about her time in a Congolese prison (who admit to not knowing who Jolie was before meeting her that day, which broke the sadness in the room for a moment) and smiled and hugged the three student winners of the World Refugee Day Poster Contest.

You are right. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I partied hard and enjoyed my youth. Yet I also worked hard, and I matured and grew up and my priorities changed. I’m not ashamed for what I did in the past. It made me the person I am. My so called wild period lasted a lot longer than Angie’s. A whole 10 years and looking back, I don’t want to miss anything. I have no regrets. I guess that puts me in the same category as Angie and that makes me very proud as a matter of fact. I’m very proud being a fan of Angie.

The PR card is laughable when you know that before that she was with BBT one of the favourite product or publicity hundry media So why change the formula ?
.
Angelina Jolie began charity at 24 and was appointed Goodwill Ambassador at 25. She even went to Irak refuge camp pledging for their plight at a time when nobody care around 9/11. She could have had all the publicity some people crave for by staying with BBT instead.
.
The claim that she is now doing it for publicity is a new song that started in 2005. Before that she did 5 years of humanitarian work without anyone talking EVER about publicity stunt.
.
We all know why that accusation is out there !
