Angelina Jolie: “I’m still a bad girl, it just… belongs to Brad and our adventures”

Angelina Jolie’s promotion for her directorial debut (for full-length feature film), In the Land of Blood and Honey, is starting now. I guess it really started when she got the cover of Vanity Fair a few months ago, but now it’s super-serious. I wonder how much press Angelina is going to do as writer-director, and how much press the actual film actors will be doing? Yes, most of the actors are not well known to American audiences, so Angelina’s name is going to be the biggest selling point. But it will be interesting to see how much press she does in support of the film. For now, though, Angelina is going to be on 60 Minutes on Sunday! Huzzah! CBS has already released a short video clip and some interview excerpts:

She wasn’t always toy shopping with Shiloh and visiting with refugees in the Congo. Prior to her current, globe-trotting wife as an actress, humanitarian, mother of six and longtime partner to Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie first became a household name as a weird, risk-taking Hollywood hottie.

Now 36, the star (whose directorial and screenwriting debut In the Land of Blood and Honey is out in December) says that the much-parodied darkness of her earlier years was very real — and very scary.

“I went through heavier, darker times and I survived them. I didn’t die young,” Jolie tells 60 Minutes’ Bob Simon in a new interview airing Sunday.

“So I am very lucky. There are other artists and people that didn’t survive certain things,” adds the Oscar winner.

But, she teases to Simon: “People can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst. . . for many reasons, I shouldn’t be here…You just. . . too many times where you came close to too many dangerous things, too many chances taken too, too far.”

Not that she’s completely reformed, of course. “I’m still a bad girl,” Jolie insists. “I still have that side of me. . . it’s just in its place now. . . it belongs to Brad–or our adventures,” she gushes of Pitt, 47, her man since 2005.

That was kind of hot – “I’m still a bad girl… I still have that side of me. . . it’s just in its place now. . . it belongs to Brad–or our adventures.” Sexy adventures. With whips and lots of leather. No wonder Brad looks so tired.

But with the good comes the bad. A British tabloid – Grazia, excerpted in The Mail – claims that Angelina is subsisting on a mere 600 calories a day and that she’s just wasting away. Which is weird, because in photos recently, Jolie hasn’t been looking so super-skinny. She looks like she’s been eating solids, more so than the Duchess of Cambridge:

Angelina Jolie’s weight is said to hover around the 97lb mark – underweight for her 5ft 8in height. Regardless of her emaciated frame though, sources say Angelina rarely eats a full meal and frequently forgets to eat. According to Grazia magazine, Angelina survives on as little as 600 calories a day, which is the equivalent of two bowls of cereal with milk.

‘Angelina has been known to start her day with little more than a spoonful of coconut oil and a handful of cereal,’ a source told Grazia last week. ‘The worrying thing is that she is so busy, she often forgets to eat. Sometimes she’ll skip lunch altogether or will just grab a few almonds and some gummy bears while she’s on the go, or will have a protein-based shake rather than anything more substantial. Then dinner could be something like a lean steak and a glass of red wine.’

The Grazia source said: ‘What with her career, Brad and their six kids, Angelina has a lot on. Yes, stress plays a part. She is the type of person who drops weight when she’s stressed out. She simply loses her appetite and can survive on almost nothing. But a lot of people are worried that she is taking things too far and that she won’t have the strength to do all the things she wants to do if she doesn’t gain some weight. Everyone has been begging her to eat more and she is trying not to get any skinnier, but unfortunately she just doesn’t seem to be putting on any more weight.’

[From The Mail]

Meh. I don’t even buy that Jolie only weighs 97 pounds. My guesstimate for her weight is around 110-120 – very slender, with some muscles and some hips and boobs. I mean, could Angelina stand to put on 10 pounds? Yep. 20 pounds? Sure. She would even look great with 30 more pounds. But no matter how much weight she gains, I think the weight usually only goes to certain areas – when she gains weight, it seems to go to her boobs and mid-section, never to her legs and arms. She just has the skinny arms & legs gene. Skinny bitch!

    OMG! I love Angie and everything, I realise she is a busy mom of 6 with UN and film commitments all around the world, BUT…..How in the hell did she age herself 10+ years!?!?She is the exact same age as Charlize freaking Theron and looks about 10 years older.

    I know looks are not amoung her top priorities , but what woman chooses to look older than she really is when it is within her means to change that(not surgery)

    Take better care Ang, at least for the kids.

    I know there are a lot of AJ worshippers out here so I’ll probably get yelled at, but: ‘People can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst…’ Jeez, Angie. That’s a little dramatic, wouldn’t you say? Especially since it’s not specified what kind of ‘bad’ and ‘dangerous’ stuff we’re talking about. I dunno. Seems to me that she’s a bit over-emphasizing on the ‘I’m still a bad girl’, as if people wouldn’t be interested in her anymore now that she’s a mother and in a stable relationship. No need. She just has to let her work speak for itself.

    Agreed! That quote was HOT!! Of course those two have some cray-cray times together!! Have you SEEN fightclub?? Helena Bonham-Carter is not the same, since!!

    I’d laugh if the bad-side is reduced too weed smoking at “bed time”, while Brad whispers “Sssshhh! We’re parents, stop giggling, they’ll wake up!!”

    You can see that Jolie likes it served on the freaky side, though!!

    It always amazes me that people thinks she is naturally BIG.. don’t know. I guess that LC image. Thing is when you read accounts from fans or even the people that have interviewed her all say that she is small and petite.

    She has a BIG persona and that makes people think she is this big woman. She is not.

    She is always honest in her answers. He asked a question she answered it. And to be honest. We know about her past because she talked about it. I know a lot of people that experimented when they were young. Drugs.. crazy acts of youth, but looking at what other celebs have done well Angie’s proven antics looks quite tame.

    And I love the quote about her and Brad. Love that they keep the heat going. Sexy as hell to me.

    And it’s funny how all the stories about how badass she was in her youth come from one source – Angelina Jolie. No reports of collapsing outside the Viper Room, no arrests, no visible scars from the “knife-play”. Yeah, I totally believe she almost died from being so zOMG ToTEz HXC!!!11!

    Oh please, bad girl? Dangerous things? Was she defending USA on the front line? Did she volunteer in Africa, for more than few days? The only “dangerous” thing she did was to take drugs and bang all sorts of dudes and gals. That’s it! She didn’t live in poverty, didn’t have to fight to survive, to get a job, to get a chance, to be someone. She just had some auto destructive issues when she was young, just like everybody does and now she’s promoting it like she was born in the ghetto or something. Pathetic!

      READ girl!!! She was not talking her UN work but the shit she did in her younger days with drugs and cutting herself and whatever else she was in to at that time in her life. Do you know her personally to know all of the shit she was in to at that time because you sure are talking like you do?

      She did survive it she alive today looks at Amy Winehouse and all though other people that didn’t survive and died young.

        Those things she “survived” are all the things she choose to do. She didn’t have to use drugs, drink and cut herself. on the other had you have lots of people in America that are trying to survive on a daily basis. Trying to keep a house, to get a job, to survive a gang war… She’s mocking them by saying all this. Wake up people, there’s real world out there. And it’s not Angelina’s real world, far from it

        Stop spinning. She didn’t mock anyone.
        There are celebs who have done (also their choice) drugs and/or alcohol, etc., went too far and didn’t survive. She is saying she is happy she survived whatever she has done.

        As for the real world, she has seen plenty of the real world. She doesn’t live her life sunning herself and going to fashion parades.

      Her commitment to Africa has lasted a hell of a lot longer than “a few days.” She’s been at it for 10 YEARS. And she and Brad have donated a hell of a lot more than the vast majority of “stars” (and even the mega-wealthy like Steve Jobs, who was very stingy and not philanthropic). To name just two examples that come to mind, $2 million to African wildlife (which helps small farmers by preserving biodiversity, in case you’re wondering how it’s relevant), and $340k in aid to Somalia, when the rest of the world has done very little to fight famine there.

      You clearly have not seen or read her other interviews were she talks about how when she went to Cambodia for the first time and saw what real struggles are and how she realized how small and insignificant her problem were when compared to what those people have been though.

      Does it really bother you that she feels lucky to have survived her dark past? I my friend Erica family feel very lucky every day that she survived her drug addiction were her best friend didn’t and died at 20. Do you have a problem with them now too because they feel lucky she alive, I mean how dare they feel lucky the she alive and not six feet under in a box.

      As someone who has been there (not drugs) she did have to do those things. My guess is her chemical imbalance is different than mine but before I was diagnosed I would (literally) beat myself up. Mine is anxiety disorder. Hers may be the same or it may be depression. My guess is depression because she got bone thin after her mom passed away.

    I love her and am so looking forward to the full interview. I find it odd that people are offended by her honesty about her past- especially those who routinely bring it up to trash her now. We all know she was a wild child as many in their teens and twenties are. And yes whether or not the causes of danger were self inflicted or not she survived a dark time.
    Oh and the 600 calorie stuff is nonsense if she’s eating steak and a glass of wine that by itself is around 600. I definitely think she needs to put in some weight though.

      I don’t think she’s eating only 600 calories a day, but Kaisers weight estimate is waaayyyy off. I’m 5’7″ and 120 lbs. Usually I hover around 115 (but because I’m nursing my breasts are a much larger and heavier G cup). I gain in my stomach and breasts too, and the only time my arms, legs and face looked that thin was at 105 lbs. point being, I don’t think Angie is much more than 100 lbs and I don’t want to speculate as to why :(

        I agree that she’s probably only a 100lbs. I don’t like to speculate the WHY. It could be that she simply has the kind of body type that she needs to make efforts to put on weight-extra meals and weight training etc and doesn’t have time with the 6 kids and the career and travel. It also could be food allergies or over active thyroid. Or of course stress and/or eating disorder. I hate speculating because I have a good friend who eats well but simply can’t gain weight no matter what she does. It took her years to find out that she has a wheat allergy.

      I have lived on 900 before so is 600 any less feasible? Lettuce is your friend. I’m not advocating it. Just pointing it out. I’ve already come out as officially nuts on this thread and that is what people who are officially nuts do. I see a lot of my former self in her former self, even if the manifestations were different. I don’t totally see what she did as “self inflicted”. She didn’t do drugs, cut herself or debase herself by marrying BBT for fun. There was something wrong. Her dad unfortunately chose to make it public causing their last rift. However, she recovered and committed the act that most women revile her for and then her mom and closest confidante died and she lost 30lbs. She seems to be gaining it back slowly.

      I don’t even remember what I was going to say anymore. I just get po’d when people dimish her suffering because she she grew up with money. I think she had money – I am not really sure. Did Voight pay up?

    It sounds like it could be an interesting interview. As for all this nonsense about her looking so old – she looks like a 36 year old woman with a mature life style. What do you want her to look like? Cute? Surfer girl? She’s always had a mature face.

    She’s discussed her past enough. She doesn’t need to detail it ad nauseum – especially not for people who can’t wait to jump on everything she says or does and turn it into something waaaay worse than it was. Her past drug use is not uncommon and I don’t believe she has said or anyone else has said she used needles – I am sure we are talking about snorting – which can be as dangerous for your health.

    To me her past has never seemed all that wild. She was obviously a moody and sensitive youth but she also seems to have been a sweet and adventurous person who was mostly obedient and close to her family. Many people who develop a strong social conscience or end up in the arts were perceived as troubled teens. That’s more our misperception of their struggle to find their own place in the world than anything they really do.

      great comment.

      but of course the vultures are swooping. Taking anything she says to spin. The laughable thing is go to an old thread and you will see them throwing up her past as if it was today. Thread after thread you will see some none fan ranting about what she did years and years ago. But if she even hits at her life and how she has grown and changed then all hell breaks loose. How dare she. Because it is there place to talk about her past. Tabloid stories are their bible. They quote them as Fact, but any positive anything about her is PR spin..

      just so funny how clouded by hate they are. But only as it relates to her. If this was another celebrity they would be saying how great it was that she was talking about how it is possible to move beyond what she did in her youth. But its Angie so they hate.. I guess their hate is their drug of choice.

        Clearly you haven’t Enny, because making out does not include a 2 second closed mouth kiss *on* the lips. Its a lot of heavy petting and other stuff. Not just one greeting kiss on the lips with no tongue. I’m sorry if your mind led you to see making out when it clearly was nothing remotely like it, and read more into a harmless and totally innocent family greeting kiss on the lips. As Jolie said, the ones with the sick minds are the ones with the problem.

        That whole “kissing her brother” thing was just Angie deliberately being “shocking” to gain attention.Same deal with wearing the blood vials with Billy Bob.She no longer needs to do that type of thing for attention so she doesn’t.Both were weird things to do but that was the point and it got her exactly what she wanted.She now gets that attention through being Brad’s partner, a UN worker, and a mother.It’s kind of silly for her to want us to believe she still is a “bad girl.”I get that she’s not a sweet as pie type of lady but that doesn’t make her a bad girl.She seems pretty establishment to me.What exactly is “bad girl” about her now?I think enjoying adventures with your husband is pretty “average girl.”She should just stick with the Mother Theresa image that she’s cultivated because that one will still sell.

    I like AJ but my God, sometimes her and Pitt really come across so desperately pretentious and up their own arses. And really, ‘I’m still a bad girl’? If you need to tell people this, then you’re really not. Real ‘bad girls’ just get on with being bad girls, they don’t feel the need to tell the world about it. I’ve always thought her ‘bad girl’ persona was exaggerated for effect.

      @Nina you have a right to your opinion but I think the opposite is true. I saw Sophie’s Choice at a young age it broke my heart and I decided to read more about the Holocaust. I can say the same about a few other films on different topics such as the Civil Rights movement, Apartheid, and the Gandhi Movement in India. If I hadn’t watched films about these events since I didn’t live through them I would never have been inspired to learn more than the cursory information that was in a history class. If the film isn’t well done it should be judged on it’s merits. But to say that no films should ever be made about X topic is a bit ignorant.

        No, now AJ is bad for making a war movie that has any romance in it.
        Oops, no. Scrap that. She is now bad if her movie *doesn’t* have rape in it. Oh, and she is a bad selfish person for saying she ‘survived’ her wild childhood. Yet *we* are the ones over-reacting and being passionately defensive? Um, how does THAT work? Its sad how the self-proclaimed (but not fooling me) neutrals or moderates only see the defense. They selectively ignore and never comment on these remarks from the haters. They are so transparent, lol.

    I’m not sure how you can make a movie about the war in bosnia and forgo the entire issue of rape and sexual violence as war crimes. do you people not understand what actually went on during that war? i’m not saying that the story line has anything to do with this rapist love story, but seriously to say that the movie doesn’t touch on the topic of rape tells me that its going to be an incredibly shitty movie that glosses over major issues from the conflict.

    so for everyone jumping down the throats of people who mentioned rape, maybe YOU need to educate yourself on the actual war that this movie is based on.

      Just because a rumor is out there does not mean an intelligent person should believe them. This is the thing. Every dumb rumor (negative) is believe. But if it is positive then that according to the none fans are lies.

      Rape, torture and violence happen in every war. Are you saying that if there is one single movie or documentary on WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Boer, Gulf etc that does not have anything included on rape, that its not a real documentary or movie? Are you truly serious? You are honestly being ridiculous and irrational. Not every movie or documentary has rape in it, it doesn’t make them any less valid. A documentary does not HAVE to have rape in it. You seriously are being ridiculous.

        Yes rape happens in every war. However, prior to Bosnia the world had not seen the widespread systematic use of rape and sexual violence as a tool of genocide and violence that was purposefully implemented by the military. The impact that this had on international law and the way that we view the treatment of women in war was unprecedented. To address the war in Bosnia without addressing the systematic sexual violence would be like addressing WWII in a movie but forgetting about the Holocaust. I’m not saying that every single movie/doc has to address every aspect of each conflict but I do expect them to ADDRESS the major issues in the conflict if they are attempting to portray the suffering of the people during the conflict.

        I can tell from research and family history that rape was indeed AS MUCH a military tool in Vietnam, as it was in Bosnia. Maybe moreso. The issue is that modern time have brought increased technology thus videos, surveilance etc than Vietnam and other wars did which is why people are seeing more details of what war entails. Don’t be fooled. Bosnia didn’t engineer rape as a tool, its just that we get to know about all the nitty gritty details now with modern communication. As I said, there is no difference between Bosnia and any other war when it comes to rape as an aggressive and often as a pre-emptive attack. So again, I fail to see why this movie should be any different from other movies or documentaries.

        well then i will agree to disagree with you regarding the similarities between vietnam and bosnia rape crimes. i’m not saying one was worse than the other, just that they are different situations (i know sexual violence was a huge problem in vietnam, especially in terms of forced prostitution). my point was that if the movie is going to be set in the camps during the war, then rape needs to be ADDRESSED. i’m not saying it needs to be the focal point of the movie. but again, IN MY OPINION, if you make a movie about bosnian war camps, you need to address the systematic rape that took place in those camps.

        does AJ address the issue of rape? I have no idea. i said IF she doesn’t, the movie will be lacking in my opinion.

        Lem @ 11:46, At the risk of sounding entirely cynical, the big difference in how it has been treated is probably because it was white Europeans doing it to white Europeans. It’s going on right now in the Congo, where are the headlines? It’s going on right now in the Ivory Coast. The Sudan. It was systematic in Rwanda. In WWII, the Japanese kidnapped thousands of Korean and Chinese women and girls and sent them to goverment approved bordellos to “service” Japanese soldiers. The survivors have yet to get any sort of an apology.

IF (operative word there people) it doesn’t address those issues, then to me this movie will be shit.

        @lem the people who said the movie has ‘nothing to do with rape’ are probably wrong. I think it addresses rape but not in the context of rape victim falling in love with her rapist. As for rape and war it’s been used as a tactic for thousands of years not just in modern wars-so any war movie that doesn’t touch upon rape whether it be in Ancient Rome, Scandinavia, WWI or WWII or 90′s era Bosnia is to an extent historically inaccurate. There have been taboos about discussing rape which is why we don’t talk about the horrific tactics in a historical perspective-also as the weapons of wars have modernized unfortunately mass rapes have also become more systematic. I think Angelina will address the issue in the movie I agree she would be remiss if she didn’t. But I think everyone should wait and see what she actually produces instead of listening to either vicious rumors or glowing over-zealous gushing from us fans.

        @Carrie: Len said the reason why this movie should feature it. Yes, rape has clearly been used as a tool of violence since wars probably began but the Bosnian war, maybe because there was so much media surrounding those particular atrocities, really brought that kind of violence to the forefront and people were forced to recognize it in a way that changed international law. Rape became a crime against humanity.

        Wars often have particular large scale episodes they are remembered for-WWI has trench warfare, WWII-the Holocaust, Vietnam-widespread protests due to tv coverage and Bosnia-systematic rape and genocide.

        No one is denying that rape has happened since war began, but it became a war crime after this particular conflict.

      As someone who has survived a civil war in Africa, let me say lem that you are talking bullocks.

      Add to that, Rape is something that has happened in every war going back to year dot. If you study all or more conflicts, you see that it is used as a weapon of terror, and is systematically used by the military as a strategic move.

      Without wishing to trivialise or dismiss what happened in Bosnia, i can say that Bosnia wasn’t the worst war because there are wars that were too horrible for words. it’s only that we have seen and received more information as it was happening.

      From a personal perspective SFTU, and on a recent historical perspective i say go look up the history of Nanking specifically google the rape of Nanking, and then come back and tell us about Bosnia

      Apologies to Bosnians on this thread.

    I used to be a huge AJ fan until I got tired of reading interview after interview about how bad she was/is and how much pain she’s experienced. We get it: you were a junkie badass who is sooo wild and free etc etc. Gets old. And while I’m not calling bs on her account of her life, I have often wondered how bad a drug habit could she have had if she was never arrested and more importantly never went to rehab? As far as the cutting, she does nude scenes and wears revealing clothes on the red carpet and in photo shoots…where are all these horrible scars? As someone who has had a prob with this very thing I cannot wear short sleeves because you would clearly see them. I also take issue with the way she has spoken about it to the media. watch her Inside the Actors Studio. When it aired I was still a fan but I balked at how she was so happy and eager to discuss it. I got the impression she thought it was edgy and dangerous. Not to upset her rabid fans but someone who constantly feels the need to remind us how much of a badass she is, well….”The lady doth protest too much.”

    A couple of things:

    I assume that when she saves her “bad” for Brad she is not refferring to doing drugs or cutting with him. So it must mean s*x. Somehow a picture of a very skinny almost 40 year old woman and a 50 year old man getting “bad” – well the picture in my head is not good.

    As for the movie. I personally think that Angie is going about this advertising all the wrong way. Talking about herself will not bring people to the theaters. She needed to go on to 60 minutes with the actors from the movie and discuss how it was filmed, what it meant to them, etc. The people who are going to see this movie will be middle aged mostly, talking about her personal life will not get them into the theaters – however actually knowing something about the film will. Hopefully this whole thing will not just be about her and her love life. We need to hear from the actors to. See the problem is now people are talking about her “bad” instead of the film.

    I have spent a lot of time in Bosnia. The people there are beautiful. I think they would welcome a movie that brings attention to their plight; then and how it affects them now. Would it be better if Angelina made movies about a self-indulged American single woman who has dating “struggles” in her life, and then finally catches her man? It is what it is. How anyone can criticize a movie about something that happened in real life – and, no, there is NO WAY any movie can catch it perfectly, entirely – and pay to go watch stupid, fiction movies about stupid, “funny”, Americans and their love stories/problems? I don’t get the hate for AJ. She’s done more for other people than most people have. Also, what is with the level of education of people on this site? I know it’s a gossip site, but please, people, learn how to spell and use the English language properly. How can you complain about anything at all about another country when you can’t even express yourself well in your own native language; and I’m willing to bet that most of these people resisting the authenticy of a movie about another country – I am betting they don’t know much about their own, American, history at all. It’s not about celebrities, as has been portrayed here. It’s about the process, and the bigger picture.

      It’s called a teaser; this is the part that was released. Its only purpose was to get people to watch and talk. It worked. I don’t think 60 Minutes needed to worry though, This interview will be watched. I expect it will be very highly rated. The fans will watch for several reasons. We like her and want to see hear talk period. The none fans will watch with earnest. One so they can whine and Bi@h about every thing she says. Every movement. inflection of the voice. Whatever. They have to have something to rant about come Monday.

      so 60 minutes is marketing this about her past. And if you look and listen to the clip, she made ONE statement then stated she was not going into detail. Besides she has talked about this years ago. And like many have said her “past” is G rated compared to what others have done and said. But its Angie so the standards have to change to attack her.

      and since she had not had a sit down interview like this in OVER a year her fans will be watching. LOL at the persons claiming she did this interview weeks ago to counter a tabloid report that came out this week. Really. think people. Angelina has not been in front of the camera for over a year and a half. No interviews outside one or two print things for her movie yet to be released. In that time there have been hundreds of tabloid stories and yet no interviews. But a story about her eating whatever or not or another “tell all” that never tells a damn thing… made her come out and do an interview weeks before the story was printed. Dang. Angie has some serious ESP.

      OH and all that talk of Angie forcing Brad to travel. Lets see.. Brad is working Angie is not. They have been traveling the last 5 months because of his work. Not hers. but of course she is the one making the family move.

      So, now that she’s admitting (thought she’s never made it a secret that) she ‘had’ the bad past that people have stated as their reason for not liking her, all of a sudden she’s ‘pretentious’ and just ‘pretending’ that she had the ‘bad past’ you guys have accused her of having?? Right.

    Oh well, nothing new here. It’s mixes up the boring interviews and photo-ops she gives us most of the time. I think there’s a bit bad in all of us but it’s good she got rid of the real bad and grew up and expresses her “naughty” ways in a healthy manner.

    As for the weight. She’s naturally skinny but it’s well established she can hold a healthy weight and even gain muscle mass so I think she chooses to be that skinny and I also think Brad likes it. He likes his women skinny.

    If people think that Stewart is going to gain weight after her 30s than what does that say about Jolie? 30+, two pregnancies and she’s skin and bones. I call skinny by choice.

    Well. These comments have been awesomely entertaining! Meh, I dont really care for her as an actress, though I do admire the charitable work she does. Thats all I can say really, as I dont know her personally like so many commenters on here on seem to lol.

    Having briefly visited bosnia a couple of years ago, I cannot wait to see the film, as I found it to be a beautiful country and was fascinated with the war stories.

    I’m 5’9, 105 and 38 years old, and I’m AJ’s body type all over (with accompanying corpse bride collarbone, arms and hands). I’ve been trying to gain weight to no avail for all my life, although I think I could have done so had I lived abroad (I eat mediterranean with the occasional burger or pizza, lots of bread and viennoiseries though), and I believe it is really unfair to disregard body type variety, or worse, vilify someone that could just as well be also affected by stress, hormonal imbalance, thyroid complications and the likes. It’s just unfair, trust me.

    I have often wondered if people would still have a hate on for AJ if she and BP had broken up quickly after them getting together, instead of them still being together tons of kids and years later. Hmmm.
    After all disliking someone for their wild past and for being skinny doesn’t seem like much of a reason to hate/dislike someone to me :\. Its not like she isn’t honest about her past, unlike Lohan for example.

    As for this interview, I look forward to hearing what else she talks about. She is so articulate and always (in my opinion) sounds intelligent and classy. Love that about her. Oh and I love her laugh too, so naughty hehe.
    She also looks beautiful. Gorgeous skin. But yes she could gain a bit of weight. Better than having the opposite of that problem though huh.

    I don’t agree that she looks older than her natural age, I just think some woman in their 30s strive to always look 25. Some people also look younger than others. I have a friend who is three years younger than me and people have guessed her age to be five years OLDER than mine because she has crows feet and just looks older. That’s genetics though. I mean, I smoked, drank and tanned through my 20s and most people still don’t think I’m in my 30s. My parents looks really young for their ages too.

    Either way, Angie is still 100 times more beautiful and talented than any other actress of her generation. I can’t think of another actress as impressive and as beautiful as her. She’s one of a kind. Not to mention the charity work, or the kids. I mean come on, she’s great.

    I like her, I used to think she was smoking hot, she looked amazing with those Tomb Raider muscles (minus the giant inflated bra though). She’s REALLY REALLY thin, I don’t care what anyone says. She has been so thin that it’s actually distracting in some of her movies. I think she might be one of those people that just eats her kids leftovers or something, just not a food lover :D

      My husband is the kind who drops weight very fast if he doesn’t shovel in a lot of food. He’s naturally skinny so he can look gaunt very quickly. I get the feeling she is not a foodie and that she has a fast metabolism. Some people have to fight to be average weight. I think she needs to supplement her diet to get bigger. She is looking better now though. She was scary thin for a bit.

    The Voights are weirdos. They are just as gross as the Kardashians but they are “artistes” so they get a pass.

    Jolie is not 36. She’s 40-41. Havens is 42. She shaved off a few years from her official bio. She and her brother were not photographed the way celebrity kids are now but you can search for articles written between Gia and Girl Interrupted where the references to her age stay the same through the 90s.

    Either way, she peaked in 2004-2005. She’s not going to get that teenage boy audience back. She might try learning to act.

    After spending hours reading all of these comments and rants I just gotta say it ” Angie did not bring up her bad girl image…THE INTERVIEWER DID. And when he asked her she didn’t even want to talk about it she said/ I like the selective hearing the Angie haters have.
    If she wasn’t asked she would have never brought that subject up I’m sure she is sick of people asking her about it.

    In regard to being a bad girl for Brad; I just wonder how bad can you be when your partner has as much personality as a Ken Doll.
    Angie needs to let go of her perception of being a “bad girl”. Barbie isn’t considered bad by any means, and her “bad girl” fans have probably left a long time ago.
    Needless to say, she looks ravishing in that red dress.

      Uhhm, actually, Brad ‘the Ken Doll’ has THE record on CB. His back-to-back threads on CB in the aftermath of his Parade mag interview drew in close to 500 comments… each. And there I was… thinking people were so disinterested in anything Brad-Ken doll ever had to say…(shrug)

      As for this particular thread though, it has got to be ANGIE-BARBIE’s record on CB. She’s been pretty consistent in the 100+s so far, along with a few randoms. Gotta say though, that no other female celeb has logged this number yet. Not mentioning any names… just no one else has.

      And her PR drive is just beginning… Wow, I can’t wait for more Fun with Barbie and Ken (cough)!

      Agreed, if only that were true. Their form post template is shes a drug addict (which shes never actually been), ’tongues’ (roflmao) her brother, wears ’vials’ (it was one tiny droplet pinprick of blood in the center of a locket, no actual vials) of blood etc etc. You can see the form letter template all the time and its obvious that the sheep haters are parotting the lies spoonfed to them and don’t think for themselves, because none of the template of worn-out old lies are true or stand up to scrutiny. It doesn’t matter how many times the form template is posted, it will never become true. Of course they will keep posting the template because they cannot see their mental and moral gymnastics and hypocrisy in themselves.

She’s been through thick and thin, not been playing plastic barbie doll but been a real human being and still is. She has obviously grown. It’s much more fascinating than the fabricated PR lives most live.

    I have a question.

    Does the interview & interviewee go through the talking points before the interview takes place??
    The questions and responses are really weird considering the heavy subject matter of the movie being promoted.

    They don’t gel together. This is a war/genoside theme, with a lot of people watching to hear about what makes this movie worth watching, but again the story turns to the irrelevent matters.

At this point, it’s all just conjecture. You CLAIM you like her, (right) so with that in mind, you may be pleasantly surprised with the interview.

      The question is- Does Angie know before hand? Cos this passed week, the media are now focused on her wild/bad girl passed, not a word about the movie.
      I don’t think that SHE would have wanted that to be the case.

    She has the 3 main stars of ITLOBAH at the interview too. The movie WILL be discussed.

    She is smart to sell it this way. A foreign unknown cast in a feature film not in English about a horrific war, Right, People will want to see it because of her, if no more than to criticize and look for stuff. However, when the movie proves to be fantastic, can I have bacon and pancakes with the egg on your faces?

    I swear, to even have your film and unknown actress mentioned as a award contender is the business. Clint Eastwood said he was amazed in their interview. And those who have seen were also blown away. 60 minutes is the perfect avenue, whereas lame talk shows are not. Sunday, I will watch just like you.

    Angie! Dayum! I’m SOOO late to the party! Love her. She rocks… wish I could watch her entire interview! I guess wanting her to gain weight, would be like me wanting Rosie O’Donnell to lose weight. Why is it okay to nitpick skinny people and not fat people? WTH???

    Of course, she’s BADASS. she’s the only legit HW BADASS FEMALE I know. Whereas BADASS is not equated with F*CKERY in my dictionary but with LOYALTY, COURAGE, UNABASHEDNESS, DIGNITY, PRIDE and an awesome CAN-DO SPIRIT…

    I’m not a fan of Lohan and all the other people who still do ACTUAL f*cked-up stuff. And if ANGELINA JOLIE was STILL that way, I wouldn’t be a fan… instead she does awesome things with her money, time and fame… go figure.

    That’s a real badass person. A person who doesn’t live life like a NUMB SHADOW and makes changes that MATTER.

        Brad is on record as having said on several occasions that his marriage to Aniston was a low point in his life, so it’s doubtful he would want to return to anything that reminds him of that time, including looking like a pretty boy playing Ken to her Barbie.

      Um, didn’t you read his interview from a couple of months back? He couldn’t have made it MORE than clear that Aniston was dull, he was unhappy in his marriage, and pretending. Doesn’t seem like missing her, to me. You are inhabiting a fantasy world. He has a REAL woman with Angelina. The gorgeous, classy, talented person who gave him children which the ice cold malicious bitch Aniston wouldn’t do. Far from regretting it, Brad’s boasting makes it all too clear he walked on and never looked back. Its Aniston that is the one with her current balding greaseball that has buyers, I mean ‘buyers’ in every way, remorse. She chose her career over Brad and children and you just KNOW she regrets it til this day. She had a good man; yet she chose her career. Aniston is a homewrecking vain, self-absorbed conniving and manipulative psycho. If you think Brad would ever return to that rubbish on legs, you are dreaming. Brad upgraded and moved on. Aniston is in the gutter where she belongs.

    Profile of the interviewee
    The show also features profiles. The profiles are often of celebrities and offer up a biography of the figure, focusing upon the celebrity’s early life story, obstacles, and choices, rather than offering a simple publicity platform. Non-celebrity profiles usually feature a person who has accomplished a heroic action or striven to improve the world.

    Occasionally, if a celebrity has written a book or has a current film in release, the segment featuring them will also promote the book or film. However, the celebrity in question will always be profiled in detail, and never appears on the show simply to promote his or her product.

    Though there was no way i could get through ALL of these comments, what I was able to read was pretty hilarious! People calling each other THE lamest names:Jen-hens? Angeloonies? REALLY? Certainly not referring to all of you posters, at ALL, but for the ones who toss such vapid names around, I SERIOUSLY have to question your level of maturity: Are you in highschool? I suppose it would be TOO confusing and mindboggling for those of you who accuse all of us who are not in blind love w/ Angie of being”Jen-hens”, but I happen to dislike both women EQUALLY. (The real world is NOT, in fact, divided into 2 “teams”: those who prefer one overrated actress over the other.)IMO, AJ is pretentious and sanctamonious and self righteous, as well as a *very* mediocre actress: If not for her beauty and name, she would never have made it onto the movie screen at all.What I DO like about her is that she seems very charitable and concerned about the plight of people in impoverished countries, and that she brings badly needed attention and charity to such places and causes.Because of this, I admit I like her more than JA, who seems shockingly self-absorbed, petty, and selfish, therefore even worse than Jolie, in my eyes.(And is perhaps an even slightly worse actress than AJ.)
    But, I suppose, since I don’t naively and blindly worship Jolie and the earth she walks on, this is a little confounding to those of you who would automatically like to label me a “Jen-hen”, for not idolizing your holy one? PLEASE. Since when must the world–and people–be all black and white, good and terrible, wrong and right? Just b/c one favors one celebrity over another, does NOT make them all the same sort of people, automatically loaathsome and pathetic simply b/c they don’t adore the same “star” as you do.Since when does such a trivial thing have to make you all rivals, even *enemies*–hurling insults at each other as though you were fighting over something revolutionary or holy, or even remotely important? Those of you who take this whole thing onto “Team…” level, and verbally assault those who don’t share their “team”, please grow up:you just make yourselves look *so* vapid, and ludicrous. Yes, it’s amusing to me, so much made of so little, such completely unnecessary conflict and even mean-spiritedness, the tedious, predictable insults aimed at one another–but it gets old very quickly, and pitiful, even sad. The world is filled with so many, so much more important–and far more divisive—issues than who prefers one overpaid, overhyped celebrity to another! Why become petty and even mean to one another over such a tiny, tiny thing as this: a dispute that you,yourselves–no one else– invented, and contine to quarrel about, to maintain?

        @Lucky Charm:

        Disagree. When you don’t like something you can state the reasons why. Like when somebody doesn’t like a book, why wouldn’t that person be allowed to have read it completely and give his/her opinion to a person who does like the book? Same thing, different subject. I think Caitrin made a good statement about not wanting to jump on the “team blabla” bandwagon. She makes more sense than those who claim to hate a certain person (you know what I’m talking about) yet their posts are featured many times in the threads about the person they dislike. Even more so than fans. I bet a few of the regular posters who spew their hate on every thread have a much longer comment than Caitrin when pasted together. In fact, I’m going to put that to the test =) just for myself for shizz and giggles.

        And “she has enough fans that she won’t miss you.” is written like you actually think Jolie gives a crap about her fans as individuals =). That she wants to get to know you, reads this blog and acknowledges you because you happen to like her. Umm, weird.
