Good for Jolie. Obviously there are worse things than publicity for good causes. It's nice too, because in all photos of Jolie, her children are with her and not a nanny. As far as adopting children from other countries...A CHILD IS A CHILD. Vietnamese children just have had the bonus of not being brainwashed with the "American Dream"

In a harrowing, real life drama that rivals any of her movies, UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie, 31, admits to News of the World that authorities in a foreign country she won’t name uncovered an elaborate plan to abduct the starlet.
“It was in a small village. I won't say where, or with whom, but some gangsters planned to kidnap me and extort a massive ransom, “ Jolie confesses to the British paper. “I was warned at the last minute, and managed to escape, luckily."
Jolie’s boyfriend, Brad Pitt, 43, has understandably expressed concern for the safety of their family, including children Maddox, 5, two-year old Zahara, and nine-month-old Shiloh.
"I don't want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood," Jolie tells News of the World. "But I want to help where there is poverty and destruction. I love Brad very much and on our trips we pull together as a team. Things only get difficult when it affects our children.”
That won’t stop the mother-on-a-mission from traveling to underprivileged, and often dangerous countries in an effort to fight injustice. Jolie became an ambassador for the UN in August 2001, and has since been to more than 20 countries around the world on their behalf.
Jolie and Pitt are currently in the process of expanding their family, and will adopt a toddler from Vietnam. Jolie credits motherhood with making her a better person. “It made me feel like a complete woman,” she says. “At times in my life I was lost, without a purpose, now I'm more grounded."

I am thankful that she got away! That would be awful if she was kidnapped:(
people, if you hate angie, it doesn't matter what she does (good or bad), you are going to hate her anyway and you still find lame excuse to hate her. And as for her doing charity for publicity, well at least is for good publicity. Also, don't ridicule her for what she did in the past focus on what she does in the present. I don't see anyone of you haters travel and put yourself in danger for six years to help the needy. In addition, she didn't chose to the media, the media (like US weekly)chose to put her on every magazine because it helps them to sell their magazine. Just because what's she did in the past, doesn't make her evil. Marriage break-up, cheating, divorces happens everyday. You don't see it because they are non-celebrity. You don't know Angie, Jen or Brad. You don't know what's behind the break-up. They are not perfect and neither does you haters. Don't judge until you live a life without any sins, evil thought and hate, then you can judge.
3:43 If you do YOUR research and look at the interviews that Laura Dern gave and you would see that they WERE NOT BORKEN UP AT THE TIME! Clearly you are an AJ lover and believe everything that comes out of her mouth. Just like she said that she didn't make her moves on Brad when he was still married to Jenn. Gee and who got pregnant months into his separation. She didn't even have the decency to wait until they were officially divorced. Ya, this is a person to admire. NOT! If you would bother removing your lips from AJ's scrawny arse you could smell the fresh air and realize the truth.
6:15 am, do the search yourself. I did after all the arguments and I found the media reports that Dern and Thornton had broken up BEFORE his marriage to Jolie. It's there, I think it was in IMDB archives. If you don't bother to look don't talk please.
I am already tired of this BLAH of woman... how can you spend the entire day talking about how you think you are doing so good to the world... PLEASE... many of us are good people as much as we can on our environment, but we are not speaking all the time about how good people we think we are...
SHE STARTS TO SEEM LIKE A PAGEANT ASPIRANT
If you believe this story. You are as stupid as US Weekly if not more so.
She looks like a biker Momma with all those tatoo's . Why doesn't she adopt children in her own country that are starving .. traitor . Kids are in American with no parents and wondering where the next meal is coming from and she is hiking her bleep over there ,her and brad trying to make themselves look wonderful and what about this country .Good I hope she stays over there , her and her big lips . Jennifer is twice the woman she will ever be ..
Anon at 2:06... You are in lala land if you think Jolie has donated $50 million to anyone, let alone UNHCR. The UNHCR is part of the United Nations and does not accept donations, they work with different organizations around the world. Tell us again why we shouldn't base opinions of her based on tabloid media since that is where you got that information.
Let's be clear, these are not donations they're price tags. Just like the $2 million price tag FOR the new orphan. The new orphan she just applied for at the beginning of the month. The same process that takes months and does not allow co-habitating parents to adopt. The adoption offical told the AP today (the AP is real news) that she should have the kid by the end of this month. How does that happen? When several adoption officials have said that Vietnam has some of the most stringent laws, background checks, etc. and yet, for $2 million Jolie gets another kid without any red tape. Buying babies is wrong and shame on her for exploiting and using corrupt and/or poorer countries to achieve this. I mean you can only describe her in one word and that is YUCK
2:06 You say "meeting spouses on set is not surprising. MOST people meet a partner at work." Yes, but she knew that those men were involved in a relationship. She should've respected that!!!! No amount of charity is going to erase the bad that she has done.
Too bad the "gangstas" didn't succeed in kidnapping her...LOL.
LOL!! There is some really funny bleep being said here and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only "Skankalina" hater....SLUT! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.....................I loved the "bulging veins in her matchstick arms" bit, what a f'n riot!!! If only that biotch would read some of this...she needs an eye opener. In conclusion, she has RUINED Brad's looks....he looks like he's aged 10 yrs. since he's been w/ that pig, and she DEFINATELY doesn't look 31...guess that's what being a home-wrecking, carpet munching, heroin addict does to ya....LOL!!! Hate to see her in 10 yrs....And, I agree...I hope she loses Brad JUST THE WAY JEN DID (poor Jen)!!!!!!! What comes around DOES go around...it's just a matter of time.
I'm just sick of her. She's in the media al the time -and makes SO SURE she gets there. And then do the official whining about media and papz.. *barff*
If it takes kidnappers to make her go away - so be it!
Anyone who looks upon this lost soul as a role model is also lost. Yeah, yeah she travels the world to exploit the poor, but what GOOD has she really done? Has the world been changed thanks to her travels? What good has she contributed other than buying two (now working on her third) child?
I love how people try to justify this wenches behavior. The fact of the matter is she indeed break-up relationships. She did cheat on her first husband by having a lesbian affair. To the person who said that Laura Dern and Billy-Bob had broken-up, to set the record straight, they definitely were NOT broken up. They indeed were living together and engaged at the time when she left home for two weeks to go film a movie. And everyone knows what happened with BP. I don't care what may or may not have been going on in these relationships, you do not put yourself out there for engaged men and especially with married men. Her life is one big lie and as the old saying goes, 'What goes around, comes around.' The hurt and pain she has caused throughout her life will come back on her ten-fold. I would love to ask AJ how she would feel if the tables were turned? How would she feel if Brad went away to make a movie and some stunning actress put the moves on him and broke-up her happy home? I only hope what she has done to other women is done to her. See how she likes it.
For everyone posting about this article, check out this site at a socialite's life.com. Don't get me wrong, the pictures are amazing, but a little too played up. You can pretty much feel in the pictures that she isnt being entirely real. Sure, it's great that Jolie wants to adopt every 3rd world orphan in the world, if I had the money she does, I'd be doing the same thing as far as humanitary work goes. But, enough already with the Mother Theresa stuff, it's insulting. There are more people in this world, who are doing a lot more, everyday, with a lot less than she is. So why don't we ever hear about them? Is it because she is reportably the "most beautiful woman in the world?" Or is it because she stole Brad Pitt? I'm stumped, which one is it?
11:28/11:30 how can you condemn angie's past when your choice of words obviously doesn't appear to come from a person who deserves respect? ("I'm so fed up with her!!! I wish she'll just walk in the bush, step on a landmine and blow herself up! That way, I dont have to endure hearing news from this disgusting skinny skank anymore!")???
then why do you even care to read news about her if you're fed up already? LOL obviously you are interested. and like all the other no-brainers, you open up your thoughts without thinking first.
well if johny lee miller was involved with someone and this is the first time it has been so called reported and it is YEARS after the fact, THAT is suspicious. meeting spouses on set is not surprising. MOST people meet a partner at work.
but to dissect a person based on tabloids do it on ALL that is reported, not just the stuff you want to take. bias much? so on the topic of relationships, the fact that she is still in touch with johny, billy, and not one of her ex-partners has ONE BAD thing to say about her, well what does THAT say about her character? or who even aniston's friends say no relationship happened until after the split? about her work, if what she does does little, let's ask about those who have benefited from the 50 million plus she has donated to the unhcr ALONE. if she does it for publicity, let's talk about how she did it for awhile w/o media. let's talk about how when she started she did not have her so called homewrecking image that is the reason she supposedly would want good media. let's talk about how she didn't even have the normal team of publicists for how long??
it's interesting how people can pick and chose what they use of the tabloid reports to base their judgment of a person on. must be nice to only believe what you want. she shouldn't be held to a higher standard in regards to her charity work and for the most part she isn't. that is just a party line used by mostly those trying to discredit her. real charity work is not a race. there shouldn't be a measuring stick. many others do do much along the lines she does, or along different charitable causes, but who is it that receives the most flak for supposedly seeking media? interesting.
I admire her humanity and her endless effort -- also her beauty. JOLIE has devoted her time, money and effort to take kids from other cultures and personally take care of them. No one in the past has ever done this like she is doing.
I've seen a lot of Vietnamese boys who take care of their mothers when they are sick and cannot get out bed. This boy eventually will do the same thing for his new mother -- A TRUE ANGEL.
Jolie is so famous she does not need publicity, but publicity needs her.
oh im sorry i just dont feel like spending my whole day commenting on someone i dont even know so no i didnt read your other posts but that doesnt mean that i dont know that you dont like her...the past is in the past...maybe you should read this, and people seriously? i dont need to defend a woman i dont know...and its Mother Teresa not Theresa...i love it how people can't tell me who she is or what she has done...its also sad that people feel that they deserve to give their opinion...this was at people magazine...
Angelina Jolie says that, when she became interested in working with refugees, she first had to convince the United Nations to overlook her rebel image.
"I approached them. I think they thought I was a little crazy," she tells Newsweek in excerpts of an interview published Sunday.
Jolie first contacted the U.N.'s refugee agency, the UNHCR, six years ago. "I was very nervous to call the U.N. agency at the time," she says. "I [was] considered a rebel in Hollywood. At the time I was also a bit of the wild child.
"So first I went to Washington [to the UNHCR office] and I sat with everybody there and said, 'You know, I know you don't know me. You might have heard things about me. ... And I don't want to bring negative attention to your agency. If you could just help me, I'll pay my way.' "
She spent the next year and a half visiting camps in Africa, Pakistan and Cambodia. "With no cameras and with no press [I] had the opportunity to have this great education before I spoke at all. ... I was transformed in such an amazing way."
Asked if her work ever causes her to despair, she says, "Certainly, at times. The first two years I just cried constantly like a woman does."
But she has little patience for those who accuse her of "celebrity tourism" and say that she could be getting in the way of aid work. "If I felt that I was ever getting in the way, I wouldn't do it," she says. "Because I do care about the opinion of the aid worker, I do care about the opinion of the refugee. I care less about the opinion of the person who's never been in the field but has an opinion about celebrity."
After her most recent trip overseas, to a camp housing Darfur refugees in Chad, Jolie returned to New Orleans, where she and Brad Pitt had set up home with kids Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh while Pitt filmed a movie and worked on post-Katrina rebuilding efforts.
"[We] realized it was a place we liked, we liked the people, I liked the school for the kids," she says of the Big Easy. "They're very diverse. I liked the other parents.
"I feel very comfortable with them. We're happy having our children here. Brad is working on rebuilding here. ... But for me, just as a mom, I love the other parents and the kids and the schools. I'm starting to work on the education here and the school system here. There's a lot of work to be done."
Congrats!! Leah
11:25 I agree!! I still think her charity work is good, even if it is just publicity.
Happy Birthday!!
It's my birthday today.
Anon 11:28: Good post. Can't agree more
It's my birthday today.
Angelina needs to lay off the botox and heroin.

Like nobody have ever heard of Darfur until she went there! A hell lot of celebrities (and normal people) have been doing this bleep even b4 skankelina arrive. But the thing is, they dont have a damn camera following their every move 24/7 and then use it to gain publicity to lighten their image. This slut is the biggest attention-bleep in hollywood and I seriously doubt if any of this ''acts'' are real. From playing with knives, tattoo and heroine-addiction, too much father-hating, brother-kissing, wearing vial of blood, having sex on the limo with BBT, bleeping engaged/married men, bleeping chinese lesbians, buying kids for publicity stunt--now suddenly she's the white version of Mother Teresa trying to save the world with all her hoax humanitarian effort. Well,slut, Mother Teresa has lived in the most depressed areas in Calcutta, not in posh mansions in NOLA or Hollywood, doesn't have a private jet or stays in 5-star hotels when she visit 3rd world countries and most of all she'd never screw taken men and get knocked up to tie the guy with her!!! Anyone remembers her Vogue lines: '' It was clear he was with his bestfriend, his wife'' then suddenly blurting ''I realized one day I cannot wait to get to work to see Brad again'' (Wow too much bleep/self-control u got there bleep! CANT WAIT TO GET TO WORK TO SEE A MARRIED CO-STAR???lol hilarious!!!)
The first picture is biggest joke of all, cradling a little boy while wearing that compassionate look in her face lmao.. How can she feel compassion if she doesn't even talk to her own very old father who might die anytime soon for a long time??!! Somebody should tell this fake cold-hearted bleep that charity and compassion starts from home. And she sure always bring a photographer with her in every travel,(thought she always travel alone?) making sure there will be a ''heart-wrenching'' quality photo op in every visit. I mean, can this slut get anymore hypocrite? I'm so fed up with her!!! I wish she'll just walk in the bush, step on a landmine and blow herself up! That way, I dont have to endure hearing news from this disgusting skinny skank anymore!
Being a ''humanitarian'' also doesn't mean ur not allowed to eat bleep! Those african children look 10 times healthier than this walking-skeleton. Those bulging, throbbing veins in her matchstick arms are really gross!
Anyhoo, MK where have u been?lol This news is soooo yesterday. I typed an extremely long response on this subject in perez but the fat bleep have to approve every comment first and I've never seen mine posted. Seems like fatty perez have to check the comments when the topic is about his own pictures or skankelina. Well he's licking the STD-infested bleep of that skank everytime she poofs so its no longer surprising to me.

She also met her first husband on the set of Hackers. I read today that he was also involved in a relationship at the time they started working on the movie. So if that's true (which I don't know if it is) that's 3 relationships she's wrecked. This is not a role model.
