New photos of Angelina Jolie! Angelina stepped out yesterday in LA for some business meetings, and she was wearing her engagement ring, of course. The photos of the ring aren’t all that great – I don’t know why the paparazzi couldn’t get better-quality images of the ring. Maybe it was because Angelina kept moving? I swear, Angelina and Brad should have just done a photo call for their engagement, like Prince William and Kate Middleton did. Just stand there for ten minutes and let everyone take photos of them (and the ring). But in lieu of a formal photo call, we get this.
I feel like Angelina did this outing on purpose, so more photo agencies would get a chance to get pics of “Angelina the fiancée”. She wore a cotton dress in a flattering grey, those nude wedges that she absolutely loves (which I’m tired of), and she paired her outfit with a $2000 Yves Saint Laurent Chyc Cabas satchel. I’m not in love with the bag (and I’m a purse person too), but I think it suits Angelina and this ensemble. I kind of love that Angelina came out and smiled and she was happy to show off her ring. She’s our American royalty (for better or for worse, people).
As we discussed yesterday, People Magazine has a “special edition” this week all about Brangelina’s engagement and the ring and everything. People Mag claims the ring is worth about $1 million, while Us Weekly has merely upped the price tag from $250,000 to $500,000. My guess is still on the higher end of the scale, not just because of the quality of the diamonds used, but also because of Brad’s efforts in designing the piece, and you have to figure in “What would this go for at auction?” As I said yesterday, I’m not crazy about the ring – it’s not my taste. It seems very dated and 1980s to me, but… that’s Angelina’s style. She loves big, chunky, 1970s jewelry, and God knows, she loves 1980s style (including shoulder pads and Dynasty hair). So… I bet she loves her ring.

Wow, what they have been engaged 4 days and I am over it already……. Sorry.
Is it only 4 days?! it seems like months already… and i couldn’t care less.
LOL it’s true
Oh Sue. She hasnt even trotted out the kids yet. And ya know the pics of her dotting over her fiance are obligatory. Fame whoring a marathon, honey. Gotta pace yourself.
yeah, the pacing yourself is the hard part, they have to design the wedding band next…I hope they can afford something spectacular
Yap. Also, she hasnt even began feeding the press stories of how the kids reacted. The Kardashians should watch very careful at a master at work. THIS, is how you whore your relationship & children out for attention, Kardashians. Now take notes.
just a little erratum. actually she has trotted out one kid, namely pax, on the small, big reveal day.
granted the other five has yet to make an appearance, and we can only guess what kind of permutation they are going to be released based on.
i wonder if they have a system to decide who to accompany them to the ring debuting.
“listen kiddoes, momzkie and dadster are gonna go to show the world the bling ring. and we can only take one of you to this very special occasion. who wants to come? decide amongst yourself and be ready by the entranceway by 6pm sharp.”
@lower-case deb
I come from a fairly large family, and when we were younger, my parents always made an effort to take us to do something individually every month or so, to make sure that we each got some individual attention (sometimes in pairs, if it made sense that way). I think parents of large families are often conscious of making sure that the kids aren’t ALWAYS all herded together like one big unit.
Love her watch
I’m with Bite Me. Lets all try to just focus on the things we like about this pic. I for one like …*trails off*
I like MY watch. Hubs just got it for me – it’s a Citizen Elektra.
This woman manages her PR beautifully.
No, not really. Thats some pretty obvious stunting
These photos, along with these http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2130767/Angelina-Jolie-shows-dazzling-engagement-ring-business-meeting-Hollywood.html have convinced me. Angelina Jolie=LeAnn Rimes
GOD LORD that shot of her from the side, going in to the building puts her frame in perpective. Her HAIR is wider than she is – and she looks like a major lollipop head. Painfully, painfully thin.
@LadyJane: the shot from the side clearly shows that the woman has no ass 😉
You think these pics are bad. You should see the ones on TMZ. The comments on TMZ are heartwarming for me. Theres natural slender, then theres this sickly, addict look and I’m glad people can finally tell the difference.
@Dap:after 3 kids, she was bound to lose her ass lol. Most white women get a flat ass after childbirth; so if you’re white, don’t criticize others because if you plan to have kids, you will lose your ass too, unless you get fat.
@Jess: sorry, I thought the whole point of this site was to bitch about celebrities.
Yeas PR is the key word.
It’s how she’s holding her hand to display the ring. Oy.
Yeah even this loonie can’t deny that she’s doing a ‘victory lap’ for the paps. Good for her she’s really happy and believe it or not this is her first traditional engagement (she eloped both times before).
Min76, You’re an entertaining, pleasant loonie to converse with so I will play Queen’s “You Are The Chamption” in my head just for you while Jolie does her victory lap. I really do hope it’s just one lap though and that by December 2012 she is Mrs.Anglina Jolie-Pitt. I seriously don’t think marriage means bunk to either of them but I do seriously think that it means something to their children (Madd, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh) so let’s get the show on the road and make the kids happy and give us some goooooood gossip!As a fan of The One Who Shall Not Be Named I also think she should be celebrating the end of the triangle because once these two are married surely everyone can get over it!
CHEERS TO THAT! 🙂
The triangle ended seven years ago. It’s the stupid tabloids who didn’t want to let go.
Happy people are not anorexic, MLN. This is obvious fake happy.
My weight has always been under 100lbs. I have been pregnant twice and only then I manage to put weight.
It bothers me when people assume skinny people have eating disorders, I have such a hard time to gain weight, and if I loose 2lbs. I look more skinny. My hands are just like Angelina’s, long fingers and at times the veins pop out, I think it happens when I am dehydrated. The veins pop out and I can not help it.
She is skinny, and so what?
She’s more than just “skinny”, honey. Look at those arms and look at those legs. It’s one thing to be thin and proud but it’s another thing entirely to turn a blind eye to someone who is so obviously suffering from a disorder. It’s like she’s wasting away before our eyes. Not attractive.
Sorry but I am 52 years old and except when I was pregnant and afew months after, I have not been heavier than 110 pounds. My daughters are the same way.
Now this is not natural skinny. This is the type of skinny that would make me worry for my daughters. Between the massive head and the veins there can be no doubt, this is not her natural shape.
Ugh, I am so glad someone pointed out the difference between a healthy thin person and an anorexic person. People with anorexia look disproportional! The skull is the most obvious stand out feature of a person who is ill; there skull looks huge, much too big for their body. Another thing you will notice is protruding veins, huge hands, gaunt faces, darkness under the eyes, etc.
Angelina is what, in her 30s? Your metabolism, unless you have a disorder, does not accelerate drastically with age. She is much thinner than she once was, and it saddens me to see this. I had an eating disorder for many years and if this is what this is, soo sad.
It’s not kind of anybody to poke fun at her though, commentary about your condition, negative or not, just pushes you further into it.
I don’t know if I would have recovered from my eating disorder, had I been hurdled into this kind of fame and constant attention. I probably would have died.
I wish her well, it’s sad and unfortunate if she has an eating disorder. It’s not a laughing mattter, nor should it be denied. Saying, “she looks great,” enables her. So sad. The media should stop hounding her about her weight, good or bad, and maybe her health would return!
Are any of you people in the medical profession? have any of you people examined her? Oh and even if she WAS anorexic you agree with the demented logic that an anorexic person has no right to happiness.
CeleBITCHy indeed.
I, personally, am displaying care and concern for the possibility of that instance. It would be really sad and unfortunate. It’s not bitchy to care; it’s human. I am not wishing disease on her and it’s preferably that she is healthy. I don’t want for her undoing. No one is claiming to have a medical degree.
Whoever she is, I get :stunt queen: vibes off of her for doing this. Timed photo outings- on many occassions, and lest we forget that ridiculous leg pose. She is very transparent.
Transparent stunt for a “transparent” leg. Everytime I have a complex over my legs, I look at Angie photos. Bonny, masculine, veiny and pale. I dont think I’ve ever seen uglier legs on a woman.
can’t comment on the leg from a personal experience, but the flaunting engagement ring thing i can definitely say:
when i got my engagement ring, the next thing i did was going out of the house early and flaunting it to everyone i know. i keep using my left hand to point at things, to gesture at things. i meet up with friends and show them the long-awaited ring (yep, i had been waiting a LONG time for that one).
unfortunately no one cared so much about it 🙂 sort of just shrugged and said that’s nice. some said congrats. hahaha, i guess my PR attempt backfired.
now, a few years down the line, almost-teenaged kids and no husband later… i’m glad no one sort of cared about the engagement ring and/or the wedding ring, cuz one great mess that marriage ended up being.
that being said, my kids are my treasure 🙂 the only thing about this marriage i have no regrets about.
although their soon-to-be-puberty scares me a bit.
When she bares her arms or legs I cant help but search for needle track marks. And yes I know body makeup would hide them, but still I search. I’m not too clued up on drugs so I have to ask, is there another way to ingest heroine? Could it be inhaled?
She needs to get it sized more appropriately. It looks like its slipping all over the place.
Seems happy which is nice. Ring looks good on her type of hands.
I know I’m in the minority, but I really like the ring.
I like the hint of Art Deco, I like the bold, architectural cuts of the diamonds, I like that it’s not all about a single, central statement, and I like the fact that it isn’t precious and princessy.
Sorry, guys, I’m a fan of it.
(That carry-on luggage she’s calling a purse, not so much.)
I totally agree, the moment I saw it in this piece I though Art Deco… totally 30’s-40’s. I am not sure I could pull it off but I tend to adore anything deco (which I do think is easily mistaken at times with certain things for 80’s modern).
I like it, too. I’m not a fan of yellow gold but I like how it gives the stones a warm hue. Lovely.
But this is most definitely a staged photo op, has me kind of rolling my eyes. I’m in agreement that they are the closest we have to royalty on this side of the pond. She’s come a long way since her days with Billy Bob!
I completely agree, Zelda. The moment I really got to see it (with her holding a glass of champagne), I thought, “This is the perfect ring for her!” It’s unusual and very cool…Art Deco AND elegantly beautiful! Love the yellow gold at the edge or the diamonds. She has the hands to pull this ring off. Brad worked hard to create it for her, and she seems to love it! Good for the whole family! Can’t wait for the wedding!
It’s not totally my style, but I’m so sick of the platinum cushion cut rings everybody’s wearing; it’s a nice change to see something different.
THAT is why I like it. It’s different! Unusual.
i like it too, cause it is very art deco-y.
I like it too. I think it’s unique.
i like it too. it’s unique. precious, princesssy, and girly girl aren’t angelina’s style.
I like her watch. The ring only matters to the 2 people involved.
This is a gossip site. Here we dissect the private lives of people we dont know and will never meet. If we have discussed marriages, parent-child relationships, even surrogacy, an engagement ring is not out of bounds. Me? I hate this ring.
Love her, very happy for both Brad and Angelina, I think they are a really nice couple and well suited to each other.
I also think they work well as a couple. 7 years is along time in Hollywood, you have to be really committed to last this long.
However, THIS is a stupid PR stunt and as others have said, Kim Kardashian would have done it better. Between this and the Oscar leg thing, I dont know what to think of her anymore.
Ditto!
Everyone will jump on me for this and I admit that I am generally an Angelina fan but wouldn’t that million dollars be better spent donating it to charity?
She and Brad run around the world trying to present themselves as do-gooders yet she shows off her $1 million dollar ring? Let’s face it, you have 6 kids together what does that ring prove? Quietly get married and knock it off.
I know it’s their money and they can do what they want but it still bugs me.
On the charity aspect that keeps coming up–
I’m kinda here-nor-there on them as a couple. Don’t quite get the total hoopla, but I think on this topic, they are getting a raw deal.
What they want to do with their own mad money is their business, in fairness. Is a mil a lot? Yes. But a mil is not really a whole lot to them. They seem to do a lot for charities, and have certainly matched the cost of this ring in time, money, and awareness-raising.
I doubt most (note–most) couples have matched the cost of their engagement rings with charity donations in a given year. Percentage-of-income-wise, most coules “waste” more.
Anyway, anyone actually think that celebrities PAY for this stuff? I’ll bet the cost of that ring that most–if not all–of it was comped by the designer. This publicity is priceless.
OMG Zelda I never thought of that but you are bang-on. Who ever heard of Robert Procop before this, and now his name is all over the place. That kind of publicity is probably worth a 60% discount.
There’s more to the ring’s mystique than the cost. It’s the “specialness” of it. Brad Pitt himself spent an entire year designing it, and they searched the world for the most perfect jewels, and it’s designed to fit her hand perfectly.
Huge diamonds have become commonplace for celebs, so this is their way of saying that they’re not ordinary movie stars. And unlike other stars who release only the name of the designer and a general description, they’re sharing the details in a way that other celebs have not.
I think Brad & Angie sort of get a reprieve because they are constantly donating to charity.
And hey, if I was a gazillionaire… I would probably have some bling like that, too. Just sayin’.
I agree with Nessa. The Jolie-Pitt couple is very generous with their time and money.
Other celebrities should do more to emulate them….
The ring’s not my style, either, but I’m not the one wearing it, she is. She probably does love it, and that’s all that matters.
She looks good here, not so thin as in the past. I wish them well.
Angie, chica, I like you a lot but I want to feed you about sixteen double cheeseburgers!
Janet, Janet. You are NOT allowed to say that. Some people are naturally thin, Angie was always this skinny, would you say ‘go on a diet’ if she was OVERweight, yadda yadda yadda. (Just saying all the standard loonie responses and saving time.)
i just saw again GIA and i can say one day Angie had meat in her bones
I have watched earlier movies of hers recently. Her arms were fuller. She was thin, but definitely more weight than these last several years.
Angie is naturally thin. But don’t believe she doesn’t monitor her food and keep to a weight she likes, because she does monitor it obviously. I have a friend she is thin like her but much shorter. Everyone says she’s naturally that thin because she always is that weight, bordering on too thin. Guess what? She monitors her food and never overeats and eats far less than most people. Her twin is a size two compared to her size zero, because at dinner her twin eats more normally, which I’ve witnessed the difference, or my friend will eat one bowl of cereal all day just so she can eat a full dinner at night if she’s going to a restaurant. My friend once actually fell in love and ate more than before because he was a good cook, and she went up to a size two. It was kind of shocking to see her filled out a little more.
Angie has had three children and is in her thirties. She keeps her weight at this by eating very moderately, and is probably more normally ten pounds more, which would still be thin.
The last time I saw a photo of Angie that thin was at Cannes in 2007. She had a long yellow dress on and was so thin you could see the bones in her spine. Then she got pregnant with the twins and looked radiant. She always looks her best when she’s pregnant.
Theres nothing natural about her type of skinny. The size of her head in coparison to her body is a give away. Her body was clearly intended to be larger, either that or God modelled her after a lollipop.
I actually think Brad has good taste…I’ve seen a few of the homes he has done the interiors for and it’s not tacky at all.
The ring is not my thing but it suits her and it suits Brad.
This woman just loves her neutrals, doesn’t she?
Neutrals = part of the PR package. I was browsing People mag’s photo archives of her yesterday and you can definitely see that neutral, business casual theme emerge once she got together with Brad. Prior to that it was lots of jeans and t-shirts and the occasional goth getup.
I am a big neutral wearer. I just feel so loud in colours. Not my thing.
But I’d argue her neutral/flowier/more polished turn began right after Billy Bob. Maybe the being a mother thing, the growing up thing did it.
I pared down my wardrobe to the more simplified, better cut around about 28, myself. Just fellt I needed a “costume” less as I became more sure of myself.
So…Could be PR. Could not. There’s no real reason to think about it in either direction.
And I can’t believe I just spent a paragraph discussing the wardrobe-colour choices of a woman I have never met. *feels shame*
I think it probably has something to do with growing up. Everyone is all about “22 year old Angie did this!” but she is 15 years older now, and has jobs that require her to dress professionally. I don’t know why her choice of colors is a “PR stunt”. Its a lot easier to pull together an outfit quickly when everything in your closet works together. Plus she often wears colors on the red carpet. Conspire on though…
The thing is who in their right mind emerald cuts a diamond? Diamonds are made to sparkle and should be cut to emphasize the sparkle. There are multiple cuts that would do that, but the emerald cut is not one of them.
It’s a waste of what was likely a magnificent stone.
eggzactly! she could afford all the sparkle in the world, and all we get to see is this ring – beautiful style, but it looks like glass, not diamonds. Sigh. I’m a diamo-loonie. better view of this waste at http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-style/news/angelina-jolies-engagement-ring-see-a-brand-new-closeup-2012164 scroll down
not a fan of angelina´s ring but i like the emarald cut in general. not everyone loves the superbling, you know 😉
Thanks for that People close-up of the ring, Shaz. I like it even more now! It’s a classy ring.
Nude shoes are up there with the ugliest trend in fashion with leisure suits and leg warmers.
Thank you! I detest nude shoes, especially old lady open toe’d ones and Angie must have ten pairs of them. They look especially bad on her skeletal legs.
actually now i’ve seen the whole picture (ring in context), i sort of feel that it sort of suits her. she’s always about big jewelries (like the big round signet ring she wore on the outing with jane pitt and the twins the day after the oscars).
plus the color sort of blend in with the coloring so it doesn’t overpower on itself (the ring itself doesn’t scream “lookatme lookatme”; although the Hand does the screaming for the ring).
*so The Hand is going to get a twitter account just like The Leg?
@TheLeg might win the Oscar, but I gots da blings!
anyway, i personally don’t pay much attention to the ring because it’s really hard to divert attention from That Face. Godness. That Face.
*so The Face should really get a twitter account too.
I can’t believe someone like Brad and Angelina are into diamonds. Many people still die trying to extract them. I hope brad was careful enough to find and ask for non bloody diamonds.
It’s a real dilemma. Many nations need the diamond industry for their economy. So to stop buying diamonds hurts the developing nations that finally are getting profits from their own natural resources. The complaint is not about diamonds per se but the industry and its abuses. For instance, I don’t believe Namibian diamonds are even mined.
It would be interesting to know how they went about vetting the stone for conflict free status. I’m sure they did all they could to ensure that.
Have to disagree – I think a royalty style photo call would have been really obnoxious. I’m hoping they keep all this low key and don’t spill every detail, but we’ll see once one has a movie to promote.
I like the dress and her hair looks good too, much better at that length.
what a bitch! rubbing her engagement in everyone’s faces, so soon after brad’s divorce. you must be such a cold hearted monster to do this to another women, and actually all of womenhood. I hope everyone here feels personally offended by her actions.
Ha!
Err.. i don’t think she was flashing it on purpose, she gets pap’d constantly, every step she takes, and i think that after 6 kids and 7 years together the last thing she was thinking of was Jennifer Aniston and her feelings. I bet Jennifer Aniston has grown some thick skin after all that happened, and after the 3 biological kids she is probably living her life without cursing AJ every morning for stealing her man. It was meant to be.. so be it!
so soon after Brad’s divorce??? I hope you are being sarcastic???
Trolling troll is bad at math.
I’m reading sarcasm in this post.
Actually, I agree–it’s sarcasm.
“So soon” = seven years? ROFL!!
Dear god, people!
Franny is being sarcastic, and that’s quite obvious, by the way.
In fairness, it’s super-haard to tell on these threads…
Yeah…I thought about that after posting my comment. There are some anti-Jolie-Pitts people that really think like that.
hahaha. Thanks Eve – I thought it was pretty clear how sarcastic I was being but it is true, there are some real crazies that think this.
🙂
And I’ve been there — decided to post a satiric comment once and some fans thought it was for real. Granted, not all of them were regulars here (so they couldn’t have known I was a Jolie fan).
ha ha-the nerve of some people! I may just have to take the rest of the day off and stuff myself with ice cream.. seriously, that sounds like a good idea, I feel a cough coming on..
ROFL
Okay, people, get a clue. Of course Franny is joking. Funny Franny.
I love the look, except for the shoes. I`m glad that she`s not wearing those horrible black pants that she loves so much. She just looks happy and gorgeous, her skin is amazing here, usually it`s on the oily side.
With legs like those she should ONLY ever wear trousers or low hemlines. She makes mine look like they should be on beauty magazine covers – & trust me, mine aint so hot.
btw, i just realized that the Radar link below has the headline about her jeweller sued for fraud. wow.
disclaimer: i haz not clickt it. yet.
LOL, I read it, probably Star’s (or Nat Enq) weekly cover tomorrow. A necklace sold in 1985 (27 years ago), a lawsuit settled in 1996 (16 years ago).
Has nothing to do with the Angelina’s ring (which I love and it is definitely her style) but such is the cow dung routinely dug up and presented by the lowest level tabloids for their present day consumers consumption.
Actually News (note the capital N) is that Angelina has been appointed by the UN as a Special Envoy for Refugees, a semi diplomatic post and a first and she will now represent the UN on Refugee issues at times. Congrats Angelina, Bravo, a woman of substance.
Oh and Radar also says KimK plans to run for Mayor. Just bringing all the news as brought by the tabloids, lol.
I don’t dislike the ring as much as I dislike the dress and the shoes. Does she really have to dress like she is 50 years old (no disrespect to 50 years old)?
What do some of you do for a living? She looks like a normal 30 something dressed for a luncheon or shopping or a business meeting. In fact, she’s bit too casual.
I dread seeing how some people who are always criticizing her actually dress themselves.
stuntwh***
I think the ring is ugly as heck but, to each her own. If AJ likes it that’s all that matters. It reminds me of Brad’s taste in architecture, too. Cold and angular. Come to think of it, those words could describe Angelina too. Lol
Bwahahaha.
Not a Loonie or Maniston fan, but congrats to them, I don’t blame her for flashing it around, I was with my husband for 5 years until we got engaged and as soon as I got the ring I was showing it off to everyone. It’s to big and art deco looking for me, I’m more of an antique looking ring girl, but to each his own.
i have to say, i don’t know why it surprises me that these two are such massive fame whores.
Angelina used to be cool. Like she just didn’t give a f**k. It’s all too obvious how much she actually does care about her public persona and what a complete narcissist she really is. And i’m sorry, in this day and age, with so much happening in the world and so many people struggling to get by, it is just tacky to spend that much money on an 80’s chandelier (oops i mean ring).
And yes, she is bony and emaciated, no she did not always look like that, and yes her style sucks. I get the feeling that she truly fancies herself an American royal.
Angie has lost her cool.
Um… this is a gossip blog with no actual connections with angie or brad so the actual price on the ring is 100% speculation. Go direct your anger towards something that is actually an issue not some gossip which is probably not even true.
umm, really? it’s anywhere between $250,00 and $1 million. both egregious amounts.
you completely missed my point -__-
*Sigh*
@kdlaf: YOU are missing the point. This is a gossip site, we come here to escape the mundanities of real life & gossip & vent over the lives of celebrities. If this site can post speculation about peoples marriages, children, addiction situations there is absolutely NO reason why we wouldnt discuss speculated costs of the ring.
If you are concerned about fact-checked & cross-checked info (as opposed to gossip) you need to be on a news site. Say maybe WSJ or Washington Post.
I have no problems with harmless gossip but her comment just seemed a angry. I understand some people come to gossip to escape their mundane lives but I come here for the non-sugarcoded articles about people I like Lohan and some random hilarious D-listers. But at the end of the day, they are people I dislike but DO NOT KNOW so I find it silly to get angry and say rude things.
Once again, at the end of the day this is just a gossip site and everyone has a right to their opinion as ridiculous as they might sound. She had hers and I gave mine.
Another website had pictures of jewelry that AJ has worn over the years, and this ring is definetely her taste. I think its lovely on her and am very happy for the whole Jolie-Pitt clan!
Who doesn’t show off their engagement ring in the first few giddy days/weeks? Millions of women do the same thing everyday. But hey, when you gotta hate, you gotta hate right? Also, now SUDDENLY people care how much a celebrity’s engagement ring costs? Where was the outrage when Ben Affleck bought JLO that pink diamond that cost a gazillion dollars? Or Beyonce’s wedding ring? Brad earns 15million dollars per movie. He spends millions of his own money doing admirable things in New Orleans and other places across the world. So does Angelina. And he takes time to design his woman a ring that costs a fraction of what he makes and what he gives out and people are still whining? Ridiculous.
She looks happy and I wish them all the best.
Exactly! She’s happy, giddy & showing off her ring while out & about. Pretty normal stuff for most non-celebs, but with Angelina it’s DEFCON 4 of famewhoring stunts. Oh, please…she’s happy and in love. Carry on, Angie! Carry on!
Sorry to inject some reality here but if he proposed over Christmas then they’ve been engaged for four months. Any show of “giddiness” at this point, is just high drama.
she knows the paps would hunt her down to take pictures of the ring anyways, so why not showing it off? and now that we´ve seen it we might can go on to the really juicy stuff, please.
Sorry to inject reality, but who knows if that L&S story is the truth or not. If it is true, then she can finally, happily show off her gorgeous engagement ring from the man she loves.
I love the ring and as soon as I win the lottery, I’m so getting one. 😉
the ring seems nice, and she looks great. i’m glad they didn’t do an engagement photo shoot, that’s tacky as hell.
They’re not royalty; an engagement photo shoot would have been the height of ridiculousness. However this engagement is not far off ridiculous anyway. They have a raft of kids and have lived together forever. And they have multiple previous marriages between them. Why “engagement”??? Why not just quietly get married with their family around? Oh, no, but that would not be enough of a fawning media circus, now would it? And I didn’t even dislike them before now. You know what? They ARE tacky, even without the “official” press conference/photo shoot.
Who knows?Maybe Brad want to make this traditional since they have quite a non traditional way of life. Hence the engagement first then get married. Just a bit tradition that he would like to give to the mother of his children. I don’t remember she ever got engaged before. So maybe Brad want to make it different.
Cue W magazine photo spread with contrast pics of JFK & Jackie. The headline will obviously read “American Royalty”.
Then for good measure, pics of Prince Will & Kate, peppered through the article, just so we really get it.
I wouldnt put it past this silly stunting ho!
I know it’s a victory lap but it’s nice to see she is really happy about being engaged. The joy on her face is contagious.
Well, first I think that the writer is trying to make to big a deal of this. In no way can this compare to a royal wedding. Not even close. Millions of people lined the streets and millions more watched the royal wedding TV. Brad and Angie will have a People cover – that is pretty much it. Also few people care about the engagement. It was never even on the most searched or the top stories.. People would have had the same cover for Justin and Jessica – but they chose to be cool about their engagement and not put it out as confirmed news so the magazines did not know quite what to do with it incase they could be wrong. I don’t understand why the Brange want this attention so much. Just get married already. This “outing” where Angie was found by the paps is so sad. They really are desperate for attention. If they were not they would just get married quietly – kind of like Natalie Portman.
Umm, Natalie Portman was engaged, and she very publicly showed off her engagement ring. Just that no one knew when they actually got married, which most likely will be the case here, too. We won’t know when they get married until after the fact.
I find it funny that you’re calling out Brange for famewhoring and in the same paragraph say how cool Jessica and Justin have been about their engagement, really?!? you realize she staged her ring photos right? ha ha, the reason they didn’t confirm it was because noone cared..
Regarding her size, her large, fake breasts give the illusion that she is healthier than she actually is. If her breasts were natural, then she would look emaciated and scary (like the smallest runway models whom almost nobody finds to be sexy). Only recently have women been able to starve themselves and look voluptuous at the same time: Now that’s progress!
ugh.
Her boobage was on very prominent display in that naked scene she did with Antonio Banderas in “Original Sin”. She may have skinny limbs, but she’s got some boobs up front.
I think they are real. I did a cursory google search and the consensus seems to say that they are real. I was actually looking at the title picture of this article thinking, “Wow, look how tiny her boobs got. She has gotten sooo thin.”
Every newly engaged woman I’ve ever known has blatantly, annoyingly and not so subtely shown off, flashed unnecessarily and flaunted a new engagement ring… why would, or should, the Jolie be any different.
Because it’s Jolie! If she’s not showing it off they would call her being coy, or holding out for building more publicity OR if she is not wearing it then there has to be a problem in their household.
If she is wearing it then she is THE MASTER of manipulator, the fame-whore-hussy-home wrecker. 😉 Come to think of it being Jolie is hard, whatever she’s doing or NOT doing, people would still find a way to somehow find a fault in her action.
Bwahahaha. So true!
All the power to her I say. She just got engaged. Let her show it off if she wants.
Yes, Rhea! So true!
When did she become left-handed? I carry my purse on my left wrist, because I write with my left hand. Pretty sure she’s a righty…
I’m a right and I carry on my left.
Hm. Never thought about it before.
She’s a lefty. Always has been.
You can tell from her movies. In the dining room scene in Mr. and Mrs. Smith she was using her left hand to slice the bread. I noticed it then. Dead giveaway.
Didn’t know that….carry on. :o)
Angelina has always been left handed.
Just like she has always been thin. In her high school yearbook she was labeled as such (btw she graduated from high school at age 16).
What does that have to do with my comment? Did I comment on her weight or when she supposedly graduated HS? Defensive much?
She was carrying it with her right hand on the way in (see link in above comment) and on her left on exiting. All the better to feature the bling.
When did she become left-handed? Probably when she was born. She’s always been a southpaw. So is Shiloh.
Southpaw?! I’m guessing you’re referring to her being a lefty. I never heard that term before. And what would us righty be called if you don’t mind my asking.
Learn something new everyday. 🙂
LOL I guess you don’t watch baseball much. Baseball announcers have been referring to lefties as southpaws for decades. I always wondered why they never refer to righties as northpaws.
she often carries her bag with her right hand (possibly so that she can be free to use her left hand for… idk, holding on to kids or brad or signing autographs).
in these images most of them saw her carrying with her right hand, but there are some in which she carries bag in her left hand.

she is however, a lefty, signs autographs with her left hand
https://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&rls=en&biw=1020&bih=639&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=jolie+signs+autographs
and i heard somewhere that her guns (i’m not sure whether its for lara croft (most possibly) or mr/mrs smith or wanted, or all of the above) need to be custom-made so that she can use it with her left hand.
Not that it matters but, does she have a crank on her back that changes the length of her hair daily? I don’t see her having the time to sit for extensions. The side pics shows it at mid back. The pic with all 6 kids shows it down to her waist. The color varies all the time to. I want my hair to do that!!!!
Lol, like a Chrissy doll. Time or no time, however, it’s got to be extensions. The magic of Hollywood.
Yes, like a Chrissy doll! And her sister Velvet. I still have Velvet in the original box.
The ring is fine. But her arms and legs are just PAINFULLY bony. This woman is so malnourished. I don’t know how she has the energy to do anything.
She is thin I agree but we need to stop harping on her weight. I see anorexic girls at my gym all the time. AJ is not anorexic (in my opinion). She strikes me as naturally thin with extra-skinny arms and legs.
Sad to say this seems all calculated.
I’ve never had strong feelings about Angelina, I could take or leave her. But I did think she was cool, especially in the way she managed her PR. Something must be amiss because this is just so in your face, the obvious way she has positioned her hand etc. First the leg now this, if she who can’t be named pulled a stunt like this people would never let it rest. Any way I want to know what Kaiser’s Mum thinks about Brad and Angelina because I reckon something’s up.
I was thinking the same thing. I never expected her to be one of those women that would pull the obvious “look at my ring” stunt. With this and how they choregraphed the announcement, I’m beginning to think people were right about her all along. She HAS turned into a famewhore. Brad was always a non sequitur but she used to be cool and had an edge to her. There is something very off about this engagement and how it’s being rolled out for public consumption. I thought the day they would get engaged or married, there would be excitement or anger but most people just sound bored of them and over it.
Have you ever been engaged? When I first got engaged I was flashing my ring in everybody’s faces and basking in the congratulations and compliments. All newly engaged women do it. It’s part of the fun of the whole thing.
Janet,
She’s been married twice before and divorced twice before. This will be her third marriage and his second. I don’t begrudge them their nontraditional style of doing things but I don’t buy the she’s just happy to be a newly engaged woman excuse. Obvious publicity ploy is obvious.
Besides, this is their own doing. They have opened their personal life for public consumption. It’s the path they choose to take instead of keeping the focus on their careers.
This may be her third marriage but it is her first engagement. The other two times they eloped.
If she wants to flash her ring around, what’s it to you? Let her have her fun. Being engaged is a heady experience. I’ve been there.
Nobody is stopping her from having fun, although if this her having fun then she really has turned into an oldie. What’s it to you if I call her a famewhore?
Oh please, that’s the way she has been greeting fans for years. Just type ‘angelina jolie waving’ into google images and see hundreds of her pictures with this pose on the red carpet,in a car, going into or leaving buildings… etc. If she hadn’t waved you would have said she is hiding the ring because she is ashamed of it… or something similar.
Some people are really getting ridiculous with criticizing everything she does and looking for some hidden agenda in her behaviour.
I have noticed that too. Some people just have to criticize her. So funny!
Her engagement ring is beautiful and she looks very happy. Of course they won’t say when the wedding is. We’ll hear about it afterwards. I hope there will be (many) pictures.
Boo!
I actually bought her baloney that she wasn’t a stunt queen like everyone else, but here lately with the stupid posey leg-thing and the way she is obviously posing with her handbag in the crook of her arm to show off the ring, SHE DOESN’T NORMALLY CARRY BAGS LIKE THIS. She normally carries her LV Alto bag or similar bags with shoulder straps which make sense since she has a million kids and needs her hands free. She is just as annoying as all other fame-whores, this is more of a KARDASHIAN move, not AJ. Ick, she is just like all the rest of them but tries so hard to act like she isn’t.
PS, that ring is ugly but it seems to work well with her style which is also not cute, she just happens to be very beautiful and can wear almost anything very well.
Such a harsh comment because of the way she is carrying her purse? A bag of that size could not be carried comfortably with a shoulder strap.
I think her fashion style would be more suitably catagorized as classic, far from ugly. I think it is a refressing change from J.Lo, Kim Kardashion and the many other tacky women in Hollywood.
Please re-read my post, my criticism is towards her PR stunt and her weird “posey-ness” lately not her obvious change of bag style. Don’t get confused.
I’m not confused. U stated that the way Angelina is carrying her purse, which is different that she usually carries her purse (your words), indicates she is posing. I’m saying I don’t see it.
I dont mind the ring but I would hate to see this woman in a bikinni.
Let’s face it, any girl who just got engaged would be showing off the ring, I would!!! Love Angie, this world is full of bitterness
That’s right. Being engaged is a fun, heady time. So they did things differently – first the kids… It’s great to be different!
Some people enjoy criticizing and maybe some of those critics are just bitter people.
keeps on being anorexic though
I’m sure the paparrazi are all yelling at her to show her ring and plus we’re all primed to look for it now that we know she’s engaged. Anyway, how can she possibly hide that $1M ROCK? Also, I wish people would get off of her about the stupid leg thing. She was just having some harmless fun! The whole thing was so silly..
I don’t know how the mags can speculate as to the cost, which depends on the quality of the diamond. You can’t tell with a naked eye if it’s IF, VVS1, VVS2, etc. And I don’t think they can tell if it’s D or E color. At best, they can guess the carat.
She has a stunning face but good God I wish she’d gain some weight. Not sexy at all anymore from the neck down.
This lady is so effortlessly beautiful.
She is happy that the most important thing and her ring is lovely,very happy for them finally getting engaged.
100 photogs shouting “Angelina Angelina, show us your ring!!!!!!!! C’mon, you’re walking by, just show us, just show us something!!!!!”
She’s such a fame whore, lol!
*this was sarcastic, btw* 🙂
It never hurts to clarify. Hee hee.
Just looking at these pictures makes me hungry.
…and no, I don’t want to eat Angie. I want to feed her.
LOL Let’s eat with her!
I don’t think she’s a famewhore at all. She looks genuinely happy and I’m SO glad she’s not carrying a goddamned Birkin just because she can.
Fake happy smile. She changed so much since becoming half of brangelina. She doesn’t even realize how sickly she appears. Let’s see if she gains weight and then I will believe she’s really happy and not just pretending. It’s as if she needs to be fake the happy to prove the tabloids wrong.
Well good for her.. almost 8 years of tabloid stories. And she has been “fake smiling” all these years.
whatever.. they have proven the tabs wrong and as liars from the start. Every week a break up story or whatever. they are still together.
hmmm well lets hope she is faking smiling for many many years to come.
oh just to prove the gossipers wrong. LOL
Let’s hope for your brangelina heart she doesn’t snap out of it and try to find some real happiness in her life. if she’s still sickly anorexic bobble head I will never believe she’s happy in that brangelina mess she got herself trapped in.
@lol actually there is an old saying in my country “You are not eating anything! You must be living from love” – it’s a bit sarcastic but proves that some people believe those happy in love don’t need much food. And it’s a common knowledge that a lot of women eat more when they are depressed. So maybe it’s the same in Angie’s case. She’s busy with other things. Food is not her number one priority and she doesn’t have to eat chocolate or ice cream to improve her mood. She looks healthy to me, yes, very slim, but still not anorectic as some claim.
Mea, I apologize if this comes off as rude, but you know absolutely nothing about eating disorders. Those are the types of sayings we delude ourselves with when we have an eating disorder. Saying nonsense like, “oh, i’m too busy to eat, I just forget.” or “When I am happy I just eat a lot less.”
Nobody drops weight like that in their 30s without a medical explanation. Her metabolism isn’t accelerating, it’s declining.
I LOVE her purse.
I am so happy for Angie. Brad Fiance’ is looking breath talking. I am glad her let her experince all the traditonal stuff about marriage including engagment phase.
You know how they do cheap knockoffs of Oscar gowns for the masses? I wonder if someone will do a cheap knockoff of the ring.
Inevitably.
goodness.a lot of jealous people here.why can’t you just be happy for her.you always want to let her down.what did she do to you to make you hate her.years of attack in this woman and she still continue to rise and joyful while you are all miserable.i swear i am becoming more and more a fan of angie because of thei bashers.her fans are growing because they felt the need to defend this woman.you are only making her more successful and famous.maybe i should at least thnk you for that.losers.
…at least you spelled losers right.
It’s called typos.
At first I was just curious about the JPs years ago, but after reading so many dumb attacks on them, specially directed to Angelina, I became a fan.
How crazy are those whose hobby is to hate them?
from hating that they held hands when expecting the birth of their first daughter, to wishing harm and death to their children, to call their children names and worse thing, diagnosing mentall illnesses and health issues with pictures. Enlarging their pictures and analyzing with a microscope to find falults in them.
Living expecting everyday for the couple to break up. talk about obsessed.
I am with you here Lira. To be honest, I have watched more of Jennifer’s movie than Angelina’s. I like both women but became Angie’s fan because of all the tabloid’s lies and attacks against her.
I think you’re right, casey!
whoa her legs are ghastly white o_O;
They are in Ecuador Angelina and Brad are visiting Galapagos with their children.

She might want to take some vitamin D supplements. her bones will not be OK. She takes the white skin look to far.
Please cover those legs up. No one needs to see that.
Ouch. This pains me. Some of us are really fair-skinned – it’s just the way it is. And I hate that I have to fake-bake, or keep it covered up, to spare people from seeing my non-tanned skin. 🙁
You could spray yourself and look orange, like so many celebs do.
Or ignore everybody and be yourself. Or, and this is the best, sun yourself for half an hour every day, in the morning, ideally before 10AM. That will give you a nice, healthy glow.
Trust me, back in my country almost all the girls are trying to get their skin looking more white. Funny, right? In a place where most people have naturally tan skin, the one with fair skin look more special. I always envy those with fair skin since they could get away wearing a lot of colour 😉
I once wore a navy skirt & pumps and someone asked me why I was wearing white nylons – I wasn’t wearing any at all, I’m just very white & pale skinned. I think I’ve been tanned three days in my life. Some of us just don’t have natural color or care to get skin cancer.
A cubic zirconia sparkles more than that giant piece of glass she is wearing. What horrible taste in jewlery these two have.
Why care? You’re not wearing it. It’s good that people have different taste and don’t want and wear the same things.
I love that ring!
Why care? Because I have an opinion and I can make it known!
Is it just me or did angie gain weight?
She looks great! I like her boobs 😉
She just needs a little bit tan, she should go on vacation, bahamas?
I like her dress, but the shoes? mmmm not so much. Her bag is to die for! Awesome!
She and Brad and the kids are in Ecuador right now.
That’s nice!
I hope they have a big map of the world on the wall and show the kids all the places they’ve been. A great way to learn geography.
God I hate those shoes. Her hair looks great though. I still like the ring (and I don’t give a toss how stupidly expensive it is or isn’t :p, that’s none of my biz *shrugs*).
I also like that the woman isn’t some awful burnt orange pumpkin colour or covered in sun damaged skin.
One doesn’t have to be extreme when letting some sun touch your skin. Just a little sun would help her bones and health. People take the sun harm to far. If you study past the nonsense they put out. It benefits one much to get some sun. And she would look a tad less transparent. I am talking ivory instead of white.
You need sun and it’s really bad for you to avoid it completely, they are finding out how important Vitamin D is in preventing so many diseases. The absolute best way to get it is from the sun.
Angie looks sickly, she’s so pale. I know many fair-skinned people but they don’t look like they’re gray and ill like Angelina does. I don’t hate her (I don’t like her either) but I feel for her. She needs help, an intervention, something! That is NOT a healthy person and anyone who says she is is deluding themselves. It’s more than just the corpse-like pallor though, the sun isn’t a miracle worker!
LOVE YOU MUCH!!!!
I am loving her hair style and color here.
Jee I wonder how many families that ring alone could have fed ….got like 4 years.
I wonder if her meeting yesterday was with some UN reps in LA?
http://news-briefs.ew.com/2012/04/17/angelina-jolie-named-special-u-n-refugee-envoy/
Congratulations to Angie on her promotion!
This left handed woman has a business meeting and upon leaving waved said left hand that is now considered PR, when for years she waved that same hand. But because now Brad put a ring on it, its for show and to brag? Whatever.
She gets promoted at the UNHCR, then leaves with her family to Galapagos. Sounds the opposite of what she should be doing in Hollywood IF she is craving this PR attention. She is too slick for some to get a hold of, but apparently she does not know to NOT leave Hollywood where paps are to maximize the attention. Again, whatever.
meh, she looks sickly w/a nice ring.
hope it works out for her.
she hasn’t impressed me in years.
“She’s our American royalty (for better or for worse, people).” WTF???? Absolutely NOT!! She is an ex drug addict who uses her sexuality like a weapon. In her recent movie ‘Salt’ her arms looked like matchsticks. The thought of her actually being able to defend herself was laughable.. Stick to cerebral roles, seductress, that kind of thing. Superhero? No. Royalty? Hell No!!!

LOL!! People(or should I say the american media) are so stupid. Even when Chelsea Clinton got married they were comparing her wedding with Will & Kates! They even compared Kates ring(which belonged to Dianas) to Chelsea’s! I don’t get it , niether Angelina or the Clintons are “royalty”. They are just celebs or politions.
she looks way older then 36. I thought she was in her 40’s. And brad looks younger then 48, weird.
It’s all in the face, the boobs, and her humanitarian efforts. The rest…well none of us are perfect
