Angelina Jolie

[TisHerself]

Heard a blurb on TV that Angelina is talking of adopting another kid already. If so I think she is screwed up. She should enjoy her new daughter as much as she can and her other 2 kids.

Why can't she enjoy her daughter and her other two children while adopting more? And why does her wanting to adopt again make her screwed up? Of all the screwed up, cruel and evil things that happen in this world today. Someone like Anjelina Jolie who has the resources, the willingness, the love to give children who otherwise would not have it. That is not one of them.

I find it hard to believe that Jennifer is still calling Brad or that Brad is talking to Vince giving him relationship advice. I think that it is the media who dreams up this stuff just to have something to say.

Totally agree with you, sounds like propaganda hype, I really can't see Vince Vaughn taking advice from Brad about Jen now can you? :doh:

celine dion is an example and she is a very loved non screwed up person..

Celine Dion does have a lot of fans. However, I don't think I would say she is a person without issues. She married her manager who is 26 years older than her, and who she began working with at age 12. Sorry - that doesn't scream normal to me. Not to mention her battle with an eating disorder.

I think it is very important to remember that while we may be fans of certain celebrities - they are typically only showing the public certain aspects of their personality. They make their money off of portraying certain images and come across as relatable to their fans. Unless you have met these celebrities personally, it is safe to say YOU DON'T KNOW THEM. Working in the entertainment industry is a really eye-opening experience. You get to see a lot of behind the scene behaviors and antics that the general public is not privy to. While initially I was a bit starstruck, I quickly realized that most of them are just like us but many with bigger (but different) problems than us.

All I am saying is that it is great to enjoy certain celebrities but don't be naive and think that means you "know" them. You know the side of them they want you to see.

Masterj, what is it that you do? You may have posted but this thread is sooooo long. Sounds like you work with celebs from your post.....

I currently work as a personal/exutive assistant to a former athlete/politician. However, I worked for over 7 years in sports and entertainment marketing. It is very interesting to watch someone's public persona and witness them change right in front of your eyes the second they are behind closed doors (not speaking about my current boss).

Wow, I bet that is an interesting job to hold.

Very interesting, but definitely not glamourous. You never realize how much work the little people (like myself) do behind the scenes. I have had the opportunity to attend some great events, but most of the time, even that is still work. That said, I do enjoy my job. I love sports so the perks are pretty nice.

first of all u might think u impress some people here but your diatribe is lost on me..how do u know celine?? you dont- u dont know if she has an eating disorder or slim-she works her tail off on stage-that keeps people skinny too..u have no idea about her life. I think their is a big difference between perfect and human..u might think I mean perfect-thats your head. I am not naive to say the least. You sound like u think u are one and giving us insight as if we dont know what u know- if anyone knows people-theri own family and friends , they know all people. I am sure I know people as well as u or better.
Everyone has issues for gods sake- u and me and everyone- she is not screwed up- she feels very loved and special in family with a slew of kids and she did before she was a superstar..if you decide to read the context as its intended and not take it to a whole new dimension u would see the example is just to say large families exist where there is love and good will and health..osmands are another example..not perfect families or people- good enough families-those who do their best and try their best to enlarge the lives of each other...
Celeb's are no different than the rest of us..everyone has a shadow side- a public and a private self..working for them doesnt give u any special insight into anyone - we are all people first..and if u know people u know celeb's.
I cant believe anyone believes any celeb is their persona in public..thats just magical thinking and not the celeb's fault.
My point is and always was that if they decide to have 6 kids in a row thats their business..they have enough money for it-and they will make the love work..
The last job on earth I would want is to deal with a celeb as an assistant. You basically live their life for them in terms of making appt's and all the stuff most of us do for ourselves.
I have held some very top level positions in the private sector and in government..the only people in awe of politicians or celeb's are those who have never met them.
When u grow up with them or have them around you will see they are like everyone u already know..and so they should be.

I like grounding anytime it is available and from whatever source. But, of course newtv, you are a particularly grounding force.Let us all proceed with what knowledge we have and make some kind of difference. This is the least we can do for others. Celebs can do more if they wish too.

We actually don't need their approval to go on. We can do this too.

Are you serious??? When did I claim to "know" Celine? I don't recall saying that at all. I do agree that she is human. However you called her "a loved non-screwed up person." If you actually took to the time to comprehend what I wrote, you would realize that I was pointing out that she has issues as well.
Regardless, I am hardly trying to impress you. I was explaining that behind the scenes attitudes and personalities can be very different.

if you decide to read the context as its intended and not take it to a whole new dimension u would see the example is just to say large families exist where there is love and good will and health..osmands are another example..not perfect families or people- good enough families-those who do their best and try their best to enlarge the lives of each other....

Well if that is what you meant than maybe you should have written then. I was responding to what you wrote, not what you meant to write.

Celeb's are no different than the rest of us..everyone has a shadow side- a public and a private self..working for them doesnt give u any special insight into anyone - we are all people first..and if u know people u know celeb's.
I cant believe anyone believes any celeb is their persona in public..thats just magical thinking and not the celeb's fault.

Which is exactly my point. However, when you keep gushing about how "brilliant" Angelina is and how Brad Pitt is no intellectual giant..AJ is a very intelligent woman (pure intelligence).." you sound like you can't tell the difference between knowing them or knowing their public persona. How on earth do you have any idea of how intelligent the woman is or how unintelligent Brad isn't?

The last job on earth I would want is to deal with a celeb as an assistant. You basically live their life for them in terms of making appt's and all the stuff most of us do for ourselves...

So now you are going to make blatant digs about my career choice without even knowing me or my job description? That speaks volumes! LOL. For the record, I don't live my boss' life for him and you clearly don't know anything about the specifics of my job so give me a break.

I have held some very top level positions in the private sector and in government..

Good for you! Does that someone mean you are better than me? LOL.

Someone please tell me we're not going to have a meltdown because of a discussion about . . . celebrities, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

None of us know them. Most of us don't want to know them. I just think that instead of jetting around the world trying to find the biggest diamond she can, Angelina seems to have her "priorities" in the right place. I think I can safely say that without putting her on a pedestal or thinking she ought to run for President of the United States.

Purely on a side-by-side comparision, Angelina and Brad on one side and Britney Spears and K-Fed on the other, I'd say that Angelina and Brad were GENUIUS. LOL

Oh, I hope not. I think masterj's job sounds cool. I would be star struck I just know it. I did go to school with Wynonna and Ashley Judd and that is my claim to fame. To this day, they still stop by to say hi.

OHHH! Now I'm jealous!!! :razz:

I love Ashley and Wynonna And Naiomi. Ashley is so fresh and pretty, so is Wy, but what i love most about Wy is how real she seems to be. And Naiomi is just a dear. They are all so very beautiful in their own way and seem like genuinely good, nice people. I love Ashley in "YA YA Sisterhood". That role was written for her. Love all the old Judds songs! Next time they stop by, please tell them I said hi! You are so lucky...

My only claim to fame is that "Kix"...the 80's rock group, not the cereal, comes from my area and I was good friends with the singer's neice...used to watch them practice & William H Macy hails from my hometown...but he's a good one!

Sorry for OT hijacking...

I've seen a few stars in my life and didn't get too sloppy! LOL I think it would depend on who it was and what the circumstance was. Some of them that I've run into in clubs were actually pretty sad.

 

[beakiebean]

Hmmm...my biggest brush with fame was meeting the channel 5 weatherman like 15 years ago-lol-he seemed like a big star when I was 10.

Good. He should be arrested. That is so obnoxious. I firmly believe we need stricter laws and fines for these paparazzi. People like Angelina or Britney are probably pretty scared to let their children out of their sight.

 

[narlacat]

Yeah wasn't that awful..
I'd be a nervous wreck if I was famous and had kids lol.
I watch mine like a hawk.

Take a child in a classroom for instance. It will get more attention in a smaller class. You cannot tell me a child will not get more loving without another one coming in , in say 4 or 5 months.
Angelina is not all that. She wants to do the right thing but you do not speculate on adoption as soon as giving birth.
Someone has to say it. You don't give birth and think "bingo" I want to adopt another.
There was an article about a photographer arrested trying to take pics of Maddox in daycare. They just got back to the states. Maddox is in daycare already.
WTF? These kids should be in loving care and not in day care or being born while contemplating adoption. She and he have enough money to fend the kids out, do they care enough to give real love?
