It is funny how Jolie fans argue that she is this honest person, who is unconventional, true to herself.
If she is true to herslef why does she have to dress like a teacher to go to these meetings?
No I am not arguing to dress like a sl&t but you know they way she presents herself in these meetings are far from her image or true style.
So yeah trutful and comfortable in her own skin NOT!
let's see, i want to start a business and make millions of dollars, i don't care if my product is truthful or not (grow hair from a spray can,) i can always print a disclaimer, but only make it shown, AFTER THEY BUY MY PRODUCT. otherwise they won't buy it, it also should be what the public wants (to hear)....otherwise they won't buy it.
wait a minute, they already have gossip magazines, quite a few, i better dress up the stories even more, give them what they want to hear.....lets see, that couple walked by a yacht store and looked inside, boring, i know, lets have them buy a huge yacht with an outrageous price! that'll get them going
these actors and actresses are doing a wonderful job promoting causes, good for them!
GREAT POST, this incredible couple has nothing to prove to you. Until then you won't acknowledge them to be role models... Who cares what you think, loser! This is an awesome twosome!

WHEN ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT DONATE THEIR ENTIRE NEXT FILM'S SALARY - THE ENTIRE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR PAYMENTS - TO THE UNHCR, THEN I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THEM AS THE OVERBLOWN ROLE MODELS THEY PRESENT THEMSELVES TO BE NOW.
BUT NOT UNTIL THEN....
OTHERWISE, THIS IS NOTHING BUT SELF PROMOTION.
You go girl! Wow, isn't she's awesome. I love Angelina and I love Brad and Angelina together, what a power couple do good all over the world. Wish more couples cared half as much as these two do.
I love the Gotham interview with Orlando, and the pics are gorgeous! :)

"The American public IS NOT EDUCATED WHEN IT COMES TO AFRICA, that is exactly what I am saying."
------------
How do you know if the American public is educated or not regarding Africa? If YOU waited to be educated by Angie that is SAD SAD SAD, but do not generalise.
"You seem to be just as stupid."
------------
Great argument!!! I am blown away by your rhetoric!
"Angie never had to go there at all. Angie gives money and her time. Angie can do more then write a check and she does. It is okay if all you can do is write a check, but Angie has the means to go there and see it for herself."
------------
Just because she sees it for herself DOES NOT CHANGE THEIR SITUATION. THIS IS AN UNEDUCATED PERCEPTION. Just because a famour hollywood actress visits them, it does not take away from their misfortune or poverty. Oh the stories we will hear from those children in 20 years! (Those who will survive)
"Angie is bringing awareness and I don't care if it is for herself, as long as people see it. Hear about it. I don't care about her past. I only care that she is the person she is now."
--------------
SO IT IS ABOUT ANGIE!!!!!!
And no she is not bringing awareness. She only brings an interesting evening to the children who get invited to the events she speaks. They do not hear her, they SEE HER. Awareness is a much more difficult issue to achieve and having an actress portraying it as something you do between tea and coffee in charitable events, between photoshoots, between living with Brad Pitt, and filming IS NOT REAL!!
"A lot of Americans can't look at the world past their suburban homes and golf games, thats not entirely their fault, all Angie wants to do is let them know."
-----------
You dont seem to have a very good opinion for your fellow Americans. It is funny you mention suburban homes and golf fames if you think about the multimillion dollar houses Angie lives, the several motorcycles Brad rides, the easy access to hotels and private jets, nannies, stylists, expensive clothes, etc. etc.
"I don't care if these is for PR related reasons, these people know now and thats all I care about."
---------------------
Well I care if this is for P.R. reasons because she steals the place from other people who WANT and CAN speak for these issues. But they are not as pretty or as famous as Jolie.
And even if more people know now it wont feed a child in Africa or educate a child in US.

a typical teenage response, i didn't ever profess to know her, neither did i make any comments about HER personal life, why would i? i don't even know her. i just find it funny that people put down comments like they know her personally and what she is thinking. i say good for her, taking on a great cause. children should always come first. she has no control what magazines print on paper, or that the paparazzi know her pictures will sell. all celebrities have PR, and if she is trying to promote one for the children, then good for her. it is sad when so many have to resort of hatefulness, because it makes them feel better about themselves.

OMG, you people are something else! i can't believe so many of you actually believe you know her personally! lol otherwise, you wouldn't have the nerve to tell everyone what she is thinking. most of you are just females, feeling inferior to her, so you have to put her down, to make yourself feel better.
----------------
It is interesting that the only argument Jolie fans have for people not buying her polished and P.R. created "image" is JEALOUSY.
Feeling inferior to her? Hahahahaha. They only people who measure themselves or others against movie/magazine ICONS (THAT IS WHAT SHE IS TO YOU AND ME) are immature people who let me say it once again: consume the romantic nouvels as they play in the media, starve themselves to death to look like the airbrushed models, or hate on the ex wife because probably more than once their married lovers left them to go back to their wifes and children.
For me it takes more than Jolie's looks or her boyfriends hotness to form an opinion.
Jolie gets paid MILLION OF DOLLARS for the work of a couple of months in a movie set, and for the work of a few days of photo shoots for a magazine. So if she donates 1 MILLION NOW AND THEN, it is like you and I give 10 dollars. So enough with the hype!!! When all these self promoting actors say that it is unfair to get paid these astronomical salaries while people in the US and all over the world work 15 or more hours a day, 7 days a week and cant make ends meet, WHEN all these actors fight for better salaries in the US, fund with their salaries the educational and health care system of the US or the world's then I will bow to the Holy Jolie.
At least Oprah is not taking children out of Africa. She is contributing to a better future for them and their children and their country, by donating her money, educating the children there, so they can SAVE THEMSELVES and in the future WILL NOT NEED US WESTERNERS WITH OUR HOLLY CHARITIES to save them.
Perhaps Jolie could spend some time to "educate" the "uneducated" people of US (as she thinks) regarding how rich actually African countries are in natural resources and how the West is STEALING FROM THEM!!! And probably the same corporationS that steal FROM AFRICA are the same who fund the films and activities of Ms. Jolie so she can be a millionaire AND A PHILANTHROPIST. See the irony or the unjustice?
She flies in and out of those poor countries, with private jets, staff who organise the trips, translators, OH yes and photographers!! She is not exactly staying with the people in need, living their life, taking care of them in hospitals, eating the food they eat, having bombs flying over her head. All she does is she writes cheques like so many other celebrities do but she takes it one step further and MAKES SURE she gets acknowledged for what she does.
Personally I look up to the people who go there and help, even though their monthly salary is like any other's average person. I dont care if they are pretty or ugly, if they are married to Brad Pitt or not, if they divorced Jennifer Aniston or not, I care that they put their lives in danger, and actually SAVE LIVES in conditions that only can be named as HELL. There are doctors working with the Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)that choose to go to these areas while they could make million of dollars treating HOLLYWOOD STARS! Yes I do feel inferior! I feel inferior to THEM!!!

OH, DO YOU KNOW ANGELINA JOLIE PERSONALLY??? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW ANYTHING DIFFERENT THEN??? LOL.
they only reason the girls trash angelina, is because brad decided he likes her better, and the tweens have taken over the blogs with their gullible beliefs in the gossip magazines.
OMG, you people are something else! i can't believe so many of you actually believe you know her personally! lol otherwise, you wouldn't have the nerve to tell everyone what she is thinking. most of you are just females, feeling inferior to her, so you have to put her down, to make yourself feel better. and call the media, all the celebrity's have taken control of the magazines, they force them to print stuff, and they force the paparazzi to follow them around to sell photos, so the paparazzi can make thousands of dollars, those dirty celebrity's, trying to make the paparazzi rich and famous, what will they think of next!
6:04 AM really now Says:
Angelina fans are the AUDIENCE who "consume" the romantic nouvel of the young, hurt child who grew up neglected from her father,in a tiny humble tower in Beverly Hills with her mother and her brother to fend for themselves, who had to travel long distances to go to the prom, turning back into a "pumkin" after midnight.
And then as she grew up, the ugly duckling who used to cut herself and wear her husband's blood became the savour of the world. She married the beautiful noble prince after she saved him from his evil witch ugly wife who couldnt produce him children and had him chained into their hollywood's mansion basement.
The beautiful princess gave him the most beautiful child in the world and the child came to break the evil spells of the ex. Now the hot prince was happy, free, and with healthier skin.
Together, the beautiful princess and the hot prince fought the world. They saved the orphans of the world, they generously gave their hard earned fortune to the poor, and they educated the uneducated for what needs to be done to save the world. Oh the good princess and the hot prince were saving the world.
But their life was not without struggle. The evil ex was still casting spells on them trying to break them up, and the beautiful princess was sad and getting too thin. Her brother came along and told the whole world, in east and west what a beautiful soul the princess was, and alas the spell was gone.
But then the evil evil creatures that are called tabloids came along. The evil evil creatures that travelled around the world and spread the news of a fake princess and a puss*wiped prince. And the hot prince had to fight them to protect and defend the honour of his beloved princess. Not only them but he had to fight the villagers who didnt give a crap about them as well.
Oh the Royal family of the US!
Anyone else see the "narrative" to this story? I just wait for the dragons, the snowhite and the easter bunny to jump up from the pages.
PATHETIC!!!!!!!
Madonna supports 500 in the orphanage she built. Oprah supports 147 and is going to up it to 600. AJ supports 3 kids she took home.
_____________________
Actually, Madonna has donated $3M to support SIX ORPHANAGES in Malawi, Africa.
Oprah has been fostering ten individual African children for TEN YEARS now, in addition to building an Academy for Girl's in South Africa which houses and educates 600 young girls, with more schools being built, as well as donated many millions of dollars for African relief as well.
In 2005, Oprah donated $50 Million Dollars to charity.
Angelina Jolie adopted three overseas orphans she took "home" (which changes monthly) and whom she uses for self promotion endlessly. She is actually rarely with those children. They are being taken care of by four nannies, and the Warner Brothers Day Care Center...and Brad Pitt.
"WHY does she not set up a committee that helps people adopt these kids. Tell how much it costs, what it takes, get all the ridiculous fees cut to an affordable rate, get commerical airlines to donate the transportation?"
PERHAPS JOLIE AND PITT COULD FORGO THEIR $268 MILLION DOLLAR ITALIAN CUSTOM YACHT AND BUILD THOUSANDS OF ORPHANAGES IN AFRICA AND EASTERN EUROPE INSTEAD???
JUST A THOUGHT.
WHEN ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT DONATE THEIR ENTIRE NEXT FILM'S SALARY - THE ENTIRE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR PAYMENTS - TO THE UNHCR, THEN I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THEM AS THE OVERBLOWN ROLE MODELS THEY PRESENT THEMSELVES TO BE NOW.
BUT NOT UNTIL THEN....

I absolutely agree. I thought the same thing. How coudl she snatch one kid who had a bed, and clothes and a roof over their heads and igore the ones with nothing and no place to go? God that one kid was 12 and taking care of his brothers and sisters, no bed, no parents,no food and her kids are wearing designer clothes and have nannies, body guards,etc.
if I had a choice between adopting 1 or leaving them all there and building an orphanage and supporting it and taking care of hundreds, I would do that.
Madonna supports 500 in the orphanage she built. Oprah supports 147 and is going to up it to 600. AJ supports 3 kids she took home.
Yes, isn't it ironic that first we have little Pax Thien's adoption from Vietnam...then the trip to Washington, DC to introduce the GAC to the press and pose for photos in our little girl outfit...then the trip to NYC to show "her documentary" at the Tribeca Film Festival and give her speech to the NYC public school students...and next, we have the release of not only "A Might Heart," at the Cannes Film Festival mid-May, but also the opening of Brad Pitt's "Ocean's 13" on June 8th.
It's Saint Angelina Jolie season! What a contrived and manipulated series of events. And oh so obvious. Do you think Jolie will remember her baby daughter, Shiloh's, first birthday on May 27th??? I doubt it will be "important" enough, considering her serious lifework.... And what about poor Pax Thien who has already been completely forgotten about and left in the mix??? That poor boy.
The truly frightening thing is that Jolie seems to believe her own hype of being so Holier Than Thou. That's always the first sign of the end. Poor thing, she's completely delusional.
After seeing this last weeks show, I stood and cried as I saw these kids living alone with no parents, no food, no one to care for them,etc. ( YES I DID DONATE) but my questions to AJ are why would she go in and take a kid out of a orphanage? They were at least safe, had a bed, food,etc. Why didn't she take a child living alone and sleeping on the ground with no food no parents,etc.
Why not take the millions she got from selling her kids pictures and build those kids an orphange? My God, how could a person adopt one and then whisk them off on a private jet and dress them in $300 T shirts when she has the $$ would build them a home and let them sleep in a bed.
WHY does she not set up a committee that helps people adopt these kids. Tell how much it costs, what it takes, get all the ridiculous fees cut to an affordable rate, get commerical airlines to donate the transportation?
She flutters off to Washington for what? For publicity for her movie. It is always about her.
I only wish I had the $$ and the power of the media that this woman commands and I would truely help, not just do what I can to get my face on the cover of mags again.
It is great that Jolie is doing all these things to promote awareness and get more funds for children in poor countries or regions but I don't know if it is a coincidence that she always comes up with these brilliant ideas when a movie she has acted in is about to be released.

its unfortunate that you feel that way, and you are in fact in correct in your assumption that she has done Marrianne a disservice. Marianne has been quoted as being very pleased an appreciative of all of Angelinas efforts in the process of making the movie.
NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO BORED OF ANGELINA JOLIE.
Its interesting that you use the phrase 'self promotion' when Angelina is actually using her fame to draw attention to important issues, and clearly never to promote her self in any way, she speaks on the issues only, so once again, you are misinformed.
YOU'RE ON CRACK. ANGELINA JOLIE IS PROMOTING HERSELF 24/7.
In the future, try to educate yourself first before you try to spread negativity about someone you yourself do not have the integrity to even mention the name of.
YEP, DEFINITELY ON CRACK.
DID YOU NOTICE HER NAME IS MENTIONED FOUR TIMES??? AS FAR AS INTEGRITY, JOLIE'S NOT THE GIRL FOR THAT.
