Angelina Jolie

[shopper]

I feel sorry for her kids. How many times will they have to learn to adapt to and accept Mom's Latest Fling.

They probably have a life that I could never fathom and will be very intelligent and well-rounded people (if not already) as they are exposed to things they'll never learn in a classroom. But there's something to be said for stability, things like having your own bedroom and not living in hotels and flying here and there, having friends that you see on a regular basis. I'm sure some people will disagree with me, but IMO they shouldn't be dragged around so much.

People paid Angelina $700K for those pictures. Give me a break. While I certainly respect her charitable ways, I find her to be extremely manipulative in terms of media exposure. Did anyone ever read the story on her in the Wall Street journal about how she would call paparazzi and tip them off to where she was, etc.

Also, it really bugs me that everyone says she is such a wonderful and amazing woman. Is everyone really so quick to forget that she used to wear a vial of Billy Bob's blood around her neck (who at the time when she met him was engaged to be married to Laura Dern), kissed her brother inappropriately, etc?

I certainly understand that she is physically beautiful and does a lot of wonderful things charity-wise, but IMO she is pretty trashy.

I didn't forget it because I never knew it in the first place!

Wearing someones blood around your neck is gross and weird. Kissing her brother inappropriately is :sick: :sick: :sick: I do not want more details.

Angie ---- PUT THE KID DOWN HE CAN WALK !

What has she done really besides drag those kids around for endless photo ops ?
Meetings - when I watched an interview with her a few years ago she could hardly string a thought together. I thought then this is one dumb girl !
And yes - Just how many daddies will those kids have ?
I dont find her attractive at all.

 

[newtv]

I don't. I think they will be well-loved, schooled, and cared for by two people who are very much committed to this relationship and being parents. You don't adopt someone else's children if it isn't serious.

Eat your heart out, Jennifer Aniston!:boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo:

I agree..here we go with the women bashing women stuff that always occurs when a woman is bold enuf to take charge of her life on her terms..those kids couldnt find a more loving mother..and she is doing everything to honor their heritage-in actions not just words..those kids will be proud of who they are and will bring a better world to the door of underprivileged children.
I see it as jelousy..why shouldnt she use the media to serve her purposes..everyone does..she is smart to sell her photos and get something for them..the paparazzi will just try to get them for nothing otherwise.
She is a very intelligent woman..her billy bob thorton stuff is not ususual for her age group and temperment..she just acted out.
Those kids have one father-all 3 of them have brad pitt as their dad..her underestimate her to think she will have many husbands..I doubt she will have another if she and brad dont make it..i do think she will adopt more children..she is a positve force..she is doing more good in the world than most people.

I agree with you about stability for young children and said so awhile back. I think it is great and educational for older kids to travel and even live in different countries, but I question the value of a child not even a year old living in Paris and then Africa, etc. Of course they seem to be with the children and not just getting babysitters, etc., so that's good.

Surely when they are school age they will settle down to one place and one school?

Yes she did some pretty wild things but seems a bit more focused now, but if I were Brad I would wonder about the lesbian relationship that some say lasted a few years? Jenny someone? In the interview she said they don't talk about their relationship at home, it just happens.

Nope, I wouldn't want to open up any doors either.

I would worry about that too.......

I agree..here we go with the women bashing women stuff that always occurs when a woman is bold enuf to take charge of her life on her terms...

I am not bashing her b/c she is living her life on her term. And personally, I think it is a bit ridiculous to jump to that conclusion. I don't think it is absurd to not like the lifestyle of a woman who is clearly doesn't respect boundaries. She started an affair with Brad Pitt while he was married. Don't get me wrong, I blame him just as much as I blame her. However, she should have enough respect for herself and the sanctity of marriage to not become involved with a married man, much less announce your pregnancy when the ink is barely dry on his divorce papers.

those kids couldnt find a more loving mother..and she is doing everything to honor their heritage-in actions not just words..those kids will be proud of who they are and will bring a better world to the door of underprivileged children.
I see it as jelousy

I am not doubting she is a good mother, although I wish she would stop carrying Maddox around so much and let him walk more. As I said before, I think her charitable contributions are to be respected. How come whenever one woman doesn't care for another, so many are quick to label it jealousy? Can't I just not like the woman?

why shouldnt she use the media to serve her purposes..everyone does..she is smart to sell her photos and get something for them..the paparazzi will just try to get them for nothing otherwise......

People in Hollywood do this, yes. However, don't sit there and complain about the paparazzi attention and your lack of privacy and then turn around and tip them off to your comings and goings to get your "family" pictures in the public eye as an attempt to soften your image. Did anyone see the layout for W magazine that came out before Brad and Jen announced their divorce? She orchestrated that entire layout which depicted them as a family - shots of them playing house and rolling around a bed together. It was promotion for their movie, clearly, but if you are trying to put a stop to rumors of an affair, that was certainly not the way to do it. That layout was so disrespectful on so many different levels. Brad is just as guilty for not realizing how insensitive this would be to his wife.

She is a very intelligent woman..her billy bob thorton stuff is not ususual for her age group and temperment..she just acted out..

SHE WORE A VIAL WITH HIS BLOOD IN IT AROUND HER NECK. You don't think that is unusual for her age group? Come on. She even admitted that while she married Johnny Lee Miller (another former co-star, sensing a pattern here) she wrote his name in her blood across her white shirt. She also had an affair with model/heroin addict Jenny Sch (can't remember her last name), whom I believe she met while filming GIA.

As for her brother, doesn't anyone remember the Golden Globes or some award show where everyone was horrified by the open mouth kiss she gave her brother (who by the way, she honored both him and her former boyfriend Timothy Hutton by tattooing the letter H on her inner wrist).

As for her not having many husbands, I guess we will see. However, Brad will be number 3 in case you are counting at home.

My final beef with her - it is really hard to adopt an Asian boy as a few of my friends and relatives have found out. Yet she had no problem getting Maddoxx when you know very well that a normal person would have to go through years of bureacratic red tape.

Finally to end this ridiculously long post and step off my soapbox - I do agree that she does a lot of good in the world. However, I don't think that excuses her behavorial issues.

I'm not the least bit jealous of her, yeah, I'd like a few of her millions but her lifestyle doesn't interest me. I once thought Brad was all that, and yeah a little azz kissing is fine at first but I like men who are independent and into their own thing and not following me around like a lost puppy. But that's me.

It's noble what she does, but why doesn't she do some of her do-gooding in her own country? Maybe because it doesn't get as much fawning and publicity?

 

[HeartofTexas]

Newtv, I normally agree with almost everything you write but this time I don't. I harbor no jealousy or resentment of Angelina and do find her more than a little beautiful. But she has strewn clues for years that something isn't quite right with her... and I don't intend to forget them when I make an appraisal of her. IMO, ANYONE who married Billy Bob Thornton would be a few bricks shy of a full load. And the blood vile around her neck, together with countless tatoos, together with reported lesbian affairs, etc. are not eliminated just because she now does very good works for both education and Africa. I totally admire her work in Africa and think she's doing a great job there. However, that doesn't mean I need to totally forget about her past lifestyle and think her "need for speed" has been erased. IMO, she will tire of Brad just like she tired of her other boyfriends, husbands and possible girlfriends. I think her ability to settle down long-term with anyone is very minimal.

are u for real??
I cant believe the need to oppose with so much energy
Its my opinion take it or leave it I dont care.

 

[Amraann]

It is being reported that Angelina is not due for at least another month she announced her due date on some tv news show.

 

[OneLostGrl]

I totally admire her work in Africa and think she's doing a great job there. However, that doesn't mean I need to totally forget about her past lifestyle and think her "need for speed" has been erased. IMO, she will tire of Brad just like she tired of her other boyfriends, husbands and possible girlfriends. I think her ability to settle down long-term with anyone is very minimal.

I want to start by saying I love Angelina- always have and always will!
The first time I saw her was in the movie "Girl, inturrupted" and I was very impressed with her acting. I had never seen a movie about a "nut house" that the "nuts" were like real life crazy people. The Actors were Acting and anyone who has ever been in a Psych. ward knows that.

In Girl, Angie was a real life nut- like the ones I have bunked with IRL.
While watching the movie I knew that in her real life, off screen, she was about as crazy as her character! That girl KNOWS what it's like to be not well mentally, no one can act that well! (Not even Jack Nicholson in "One flew over the coo-coos nest")

I followed her career and read the "gossip" about her real life. Watched every one of her movies, read and watched interviews with her and family members and there has never once been a doubt in my mind that this woman has Bipolar Disorder and possibly a personality disorder. Which I readily admit interests me to no end!

Sadly, I see a LOT of myself (Prior to being medicated) in her past actions, interactions and reactions. I think she is either on medication or in remission (yes, there is such thing with Bipolar) and that, combined with becoming a mother, is how she has been able to pull her life together the last couple of years. Whatever she is doing is working and I hope she keeps working it for the sake of the babies she has brought into her world.

I'm not a Doctor and I'm not a Judge- I'm just a mentally Ill woman who sees a lot of herself in another woman and am proud of her for changing her life!




ETA- There was an interview some time back with her father and he said she has bipolar and won't get help for it. I know she doesn't get along with her father and says he's talking Sh%t about her but I think the man is on the money about the bipolar thing!

Why can't people believe that Angelina has matured and learned from her past mistakes??? :doh: :doh: :doh: The lesbian affair may have been an experimentation, doesn't mean she is a closet bi-sexual for life. Perhaps she discovered it's really a man- Brad Pitt who floats her boat. I think she's truly ready to settle down now, so what if it took her 3 tries to find the right husband? I also find her looks exotic and beautiful.

 

[tezi]

I watched part of the interview she did with Ann Curry. Personally, I think she is truly happy with Brad and her growing family. I never used to like her, but she seems to have matured a lot. I really admire all of the work she is doing for children's causes all over the world.

I don't agree with the fact that she became pregnant before he was divorced, but it is not for me to judge their actions. I hope for the kids and them that they can have a long and healthy relationship.

The cutlines on this photo spread are the most fawning, drooling, slavish ones I have ever seen! "Perfect gene pool, most beautiful family" yadayada. Brother, I have never seen anything like it! NO ONE is that beautiful or perfect! Or maybe I should say, lots of us are that beautiful and perfect!

Yes I am for real. Isn't my opinion every bit as valuable as yours? I was merely offering a differing viewpoint. I am sorry you found it so unbelievable that I don't care for the woman. The only thing that got me fired up was you accusing women who don't like another woman as being "jealous." I get that you like her, you get that I don't - end of story and certainly not worth bickering over.

I do think she is a good actress, clearly a humanitarian and probably a good mother.

I am with you Masterj, just because a woman doesn't admire another woman doesn't make her "jealous." How on earth would we really know whether she's a good mother or not, seriously? Just because we see her toting her toddlers around the world via arranged (or not, who knows) photo ops? I have always thought true humanitarians don't seek publicity constantly over their good deeds. I know I'll probably be flamed for that, but it's how I feel. Does she ever do any humanitarian work in the U.S., where I assume she made most of her fortune? I'm not so sure Pitt will want to be out of the US forever, living the nomadic life (not that they have rough digs or anything, since they've leased an entire resort for their family of four) either.

It is a bit much. "So much perfection in one place"...I guess Zahara doesn't even get a poopy diaper like other toddlers. (wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall and see what their life is REALLY like?)
