L&S: Angelina Jolie is “desperate to be skinny” & “refusing to eat”

Last week, some British tabloids decided to pick a fight with Angelina Jolie’s bones. The claim was that Jolie was subsisting on 600 calories a day, and that she currently weighs only 97 pounds. In Touch Weekly ran a “follow up” cover story about how absolutely CRAY-CRAY Angelina still is because she and Brad leave the kids with nannies so that they can have liquor-soaked date nights. Sigh… can’t you tell that we’re about to go full-throttle into another publicity tour for Brangelina? I can already feel the Jolie-induced tension headache coming on.

Anyway, this week’s Life & Style just picks up where those other tabloids left off. Apparently, Angelina is “desperate to be skinny” and “starving herself,” and “refusing to eat.” Also, she’s “run down, nervous and worried” because of the stress of promoting In the Land of Blood and Honey. L&S changes up her diet too – In Touch claimed last week that Angelina is all about non-cream based soups and tea. L&S says that Angelina’s diet is “green tea, almonds, red wine, handfuls of cereal and gummy bears.” Gummy bears? FATTY. So what does Brad think? “Brad’s a country boy who’s into steak and potatoes. He tells her to bulk up on some carbs. She just tells him to get over it.” Er… what? He’s all, “Baby, eat some tater chips.” And she’s all, “STFU I HATE YOU YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME.” Does anyone really think that is their relationship dynamic?

Besides that, I’m still not seeing any kind of drastic weight loss in Angelina in the past six months or so – when Brad was filming in London and Scotland, I could have sworn that Angelina looked like she had put on a few pounds too. Gossip Cop got a “denial” from “a source close to Jolie” (???) who says that L&S’s story is “100% false”. Meh.

    So sick of the sources. I was watching Mr and Mrs. Smith and recalled that scene when Brad was describing his would be assassin as “a buck 15 or 20” WHICH means 115 or 120.. I think that is about right. Saw a picture of Miranda Kerr, who does not look any bigger.

    Anyway all these sources never give the real info. What is that tat on Brad stomach where Angie birthday is tat.. what does the tat on his calve say.. what does Angie’s inside thigh tat say. where were they for Thanksgiving. Do they have an anniversary they celebrate. I think so in January but I’d love to know.

    shit give up the good stuff.. all these whispered conversations.. mean crap to me. We will see Angie on Monday at the premier of ITLOBH.. plus she will be on Anderson Cooper on Monday too.

    Look I adore her. Would love for her to gain a few, but the woman is not falling over for lack of food. These stories area around ever other month. She is not as thin as she was when her mother died. So dang move on Tabs.. find a new punching bag. How long are they going to feed on Angie.

    It has gotten beyond old and boring.

    • Deltona lakes says:

      Ditto lisa

    • Anna says:

      Miranda Kerr may not look any bigger but that’s because she’s naturally skinny. She doesn’t have veins and bones popping out. It’s a shock to see Angelina this way after seeing how she looked earlier in her career. There are no before and after pics of Miranda but there are of Angelina. So yea… bad comparison.

      • meep says:

        Eeh.. my mom has vein-y (is that even a word lol) arms and hands, and so do her sisters. Their weights range from kinda chubby to Angelina skinny. The popping veins mean nothing. Also if you see Angelina in earlier movies there is this vein in her forehead that pops up. She seems to have that natural tendency to have large very visible veins.

      • Carrie says:

        Having prominent veins has nothing to do with weight at all whatsoever. If she put on 50 pounds she’d still have prominent veins. Some people, men and women, have prominent veins. There is nothing you can do about it, any more than you can a birth mark.

  2. Cherry says:

    I’m getting fed up with this story. They run it every few months now.

  3. Fakey says:

    This woman looks beyond gross with her bones and nerves jetting out. Why is any loved one of hers staging a intervention?

    • lisa says:

      the veins have been there for YEARs. people only started to complain when she and Brad got together. If you don’t like her don’t look.

    • tapioca says:

      Her kids obviously can’t, her boyfriend won’t because he likes his women painfully thin, and everyone else is on the payroll. It’s times like these that a woman usually turns to her girlfriends but it doesn’t seem like she has any.

    • Freya says:

      What an idiotic thing to say. It’s up to YOU not to look, and it’s ‘then’ not ‘than.’

    • Julie says:

      Agree Fakey, but on here you just risked your editorial life by expressing an opinion that would be in contrast to these Angie cheerleaders 🙂

    • Julie says:

      My comment about her weight issue is that folks on this sight don’t seem to evaluate it in the same light they do other celebs, i.e. Leann R., and I understand it is because they like her but in my view there should be a little more unbias when commenting on the weight by her fans. It’s obvious she has always been somewhat thin but is too thin now. ED in my strong opinion. Yeah, who cares is right, but then make the same case about everyone else’s ED commented on here at this site.

      • olivia says:

        These so called fans don’t care that she’s damaging her body. I bet they would let her drive off a cliff as long as she looked fabulous doing it. The way these loons obsess over her and defend her you would think they would be more concerned about her health.

      • Cheyenne says:

        Handing Olivia a box of Kleenex to wipe her crocodile tears.

      • Sakyiwaa says:

        Saying an intervention should be staged, are you? I’m a fan. I’m thinking her critics believe she’s a famewhore and is uber interested in what the tabs say about her… This is the 2nd tab in one week. Well, let’s hope the tabs stage an intervention for whomever it matters to…, cos at this point, they’re just ridiculous.

  4. Anait says:

    OK, I’m ready to be killed by some Angelina fan. But I’m sick and tired of all this sh… I don’t care what she eat, if she it. I don’t care if she is a saint, if she does charity works (many people do it, even and especially people who find it hard to make ends meet!), if she is a great mother and so on… she is an actress, she has a film to promote (so has Brad Pitt) and all this things come out and reach the peak – oh! magic! – during the promotion. That’s a way to sell films… but this damn films are worthy to see or not? The rest is crap.

    • mln76 says:

      Your post isn’t very clear are you inferring that Angie told the tabs to write stories about her being anorexic to sell her movie? Because I don’t think the art-house crowd reads Life & Style. Not attacking but I don’t see how this or the other trillion negative tab stories about her, her children etc help her career in anyway

      • Anait says:

        No, I don’t think she is doing that. I just say that each time she is out promoting a film, the tabloids are out each day with these stories. I hope she doesn’t have health problems, but keep repeating how skinny she is… it won’t help her, but increase her stress, put pressure on her (sorry,I don’t know how to express myself clearly, English is not my first language). In the same time this stories draw attention to her and her film. Here people say something that sounds like:”It doesn’t matter if you speak ill of me, the important thing is that you speak of me.” That keeps celebrity alive… but that doesn’t imply that she is involved in this thing, I don’t think she speaks with the people who write this stories, and I’am sceptical when I read “an insider reveals..” or “someone close to mr./ms. X says…” but you know… this is an industry, many people make money with these things.

      • mln76 says:

        I kind of agree with you that stories pick up when they are doing film promotions. I don’t think any of the ‘sources’ used in this story are real.Or that any of Angie’s people are cooperating with the tabs (except possibly a few ex employee’s with axes to grind). The people at the tabs just know that Angie is doing a press tour for her movie so they come up with stories to coincide. The tabloids make money off of these 3 that’s for sure.

    • Freya says:

      The tabloids just want to discuss her. I find the focus on her weight just too much. Jolie is an adult, and has to look after herself. If she doesn’t want to eat, that’s her choice. If she is sick, it’s her responsibility to go see a doctor.

      I also think that it’s possible for the tabloids to make her look thinner than she actually is.

  5. bea says:

    Agreed – the “dialog” in those stories and “sources” are sketchy – but those do look like rexi arms in the photos. Skeletal.

    She looks a “healthy” weight in the grey sweater and skirt, but maybe only bc it covers up her arms.

    Sorry, but I do think there is an eating disorder issue here. The rest is just fabricated.

  6. samira677 says:

    I don’t get these skinny stories. If you look at old photos and movies she was always small. People keep screaming about Tomb Raider but she gained 10-20lbs for those movies.

    The tabs always repeat the same stories with Brad and Angelina: Brad is having affairs, Angelina is having affairs, they are about to breakup, Angelina is anorexic/drug addict. In a few weeks it will be they are pregnant/adopting, getting married. If/when Jennifer and Justin breakup it will be she and Brad will get back together.

  7. Chrissy says:

    This website seems to love Angelina and not want to agree with anything negative about her. I can totally believe she lives on tea and almonds: she is a stick. How would she have dramatic weight loss in the last six months? She was already pretty emaciated. Her arms are bony and veiny. I don’t really buy that Brad is a “country boy” though. And while the mags are probably exaggerating, I can picture their family life as rather strange.

    • weeble says:

      You are right about this. Sure this is a good gossip site, but when it comes to her you will get bashed and talked down to for saying anything negative against this woman. She is too thin, and she does look awful. She needs to fill out a bit….that doesn’t mean she has to balloon to 400 pounds, only that she should try to be healthier.

      • yep says:

        Not. This site is quick to post any and every negative tabloid story about Angelina. The only one that never gets negative articles from this site is gasp brad Pitt lol

    • skuddles says:

      Well I very much like and respect AJ but agree she’s too thin, to the point of being unhealthy. For her to maintain that thin of a frame into her mid 30’s tells me she may not have the best relationship with food. She was a model in her younger days so perhaps some of that “no such thing as too thin” thing stuck in her head.

    • Joanna says:

      Brad is not a country boy, Springfield is approx. pop. of 100,000 — I grew up in the area. Although some people from St. Louis act like it’s a country town, it’s on the larger side. But it is surrounded by country towns. Although, I think he grew up in Joplin, didn’t he? I never went to Joplin, I think it is on the smaller side. But he went to the same college I did in Springfield.

    • Carrie says:

      “This website seems to love Angelina and not want to agree with anything negative about her.”
      So what? About time some site did, to balance out the 97% of sites that hate Angelina and will and do agree with everything and anything negative about her and believe absolutely nothing positive about her whilst believing everything positive about Aniston and believing absolutely nothing negative about her. It never will truly balance out the unfairness, but, its a start.

      “How would she have dramatic weight loss in the last six months?”
      She has not had any dramatic weight loss in the last 6 months at all.

      “Her arms are bony and veiny.”
      As I said in a post above, veins have as much to do with weight as birthmarks ie absolutely nothing at all. Large women and men have prominent veins. She’s always had prominent veins. Some men and women do. It is totally separate from the weight issue.

  8. mln76 says:

    Kaiser picturing Brad say ‘Baby eat some tater tots’ just gave me such a laugh. 🙂

  9. NM9005 says:

    Watched a video from back in the Alexander and Tomb Raider days. Her beauty and health is criminal there.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFD3vu-h_Gg&feature=related

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVk6T-ni1sM&feature=related

    Criminal! Now that’s a woman that could kick somebody’s ass.
    Now she’s a bag of bones and I still believe it’s by choice. She’s naturally skinny so for her to eat less and workout more, it’s easy to obtain the body she has now. After her children, she was as skinny as all those other celebs who go into hiding and pop out all skinny again…

    As for Brad, he’s a skinny minny now too so I don’t get why they are giving him a pass and even want to give the impression he loves food because he’s a “country boy”. His body ain’t looking like he loves some steak and potatoes.

    • Sakyiwaa says:

      Yes, of course. The moment i saw Jolie in TR as a teen i was hooked. She was fascinating. And i still think she is… In so many other different ways right now.
      So yeah, it’s her weight to gain… and maybe she won’t… But then again, maybe she will…

    • Lithe says:

      Thanks for posting these links. She’s a stunningly gorgeous woman and what a voice! I’m not going to body snark on her, but I think she would look so much better with a bit more weight on.

  10. Sisi says:

    So she’s desperate to be skinny and wearing butt-pads in the same week? Yeah tabloids, makes total sense…

  11. olivia says:

    Isn’t the camera supposed to add 10 lbs; it was very scary how thin she was on television. Can you imagine how thin she is in real life? If this woman thinks her life is so great then why does she look like someone from a concentration camp?

  12. Theuth says:

    Pff, please. I was (still am, IDGAF) a big Tomb Raider fan who saw both movies in theater, and I remember there was some discussions about how thin she was for those kind of movies even after gaining 20lb of muscles: her wrists were TINY! And there is a reason why she had to wear shorts for less than 10 minutes in the beginning, her legs were still very skinny.
    She doesn’t look so much emaciated to me, this is far from what she looked 4 years ago after her mother’s death. Her frame is naturally thin IRL.

  13. Silk Spectre says:

    A side effect of anorexia is that your hair and nails start to look dull and break easily or tend to fall out. The gelatine in Gummy bears helps avoiding that.

  14. weeble says:

    I just hope she will take care of herself, regardless. And brad, too, looks awful these days himself. Not sure why they both look like they should be living in a van down by the river, but hope they get past this phase soon.

  15. Cathy says:

    Waity Katy is way skinnier than her

    • theaPie says:

      In the torso maybe. But Kate has a much larger frame than AJ. AJ has always had twigs for arms and legs and you can see how small her bones are by looking at her wrists.

  16. Sue says:

    WHO CARES???? No I did not read the article either……

  17. journey says:

    “desperate to be skinny”? they make her sound like kirstie alley, pining for xenu to magically take away the poundage. sorry, but you can’t be desperate to get what you’ve already got.

  18. TXCinderella says:

    My Lord, if she gets any skinnier her bones will start rattling! She already looks bad. I feel for these super skinny women when they get older. The lack of nutrition will cause all kinds of health problems later in life.

    • Cheyenne says:

      Not to worry. I was super-skinny just like Angie when I was her age, and it wasn’t due to an eating disorder. I had a metabolism that was off the charts. This is what happens when you get older: your metabolism goes south and your weight goes north and all of a sudden you weigh 15 lbs more than you used to without eating anything more than you used to eat. Metabolism determines how fast you burn calories. If you still eat the same while your metabolism decreases, you don’t burn the calories as efficiently as you used to, and the pounds start piling up. The only way to prevent gaining weight in your 40s is to eat less than you usually eat. Then when your metabolism slows down, it doesn’t have that many calories to burn off.

      • Annie says:

        True that. In fact just my observation – it actually seems to be the naturally skinniest types who get hit by “middle age spread” the hardest. The frail skinny old people you see were probably not the naturally thin sort in their youth, quite the opposite. My mom was always “worryingly thin” in her younger days, now in her late 60’s she’s pretty hefty looking.

        I dunno if Angelina’s weight is lower because of an eating disorder or drugs but she’s at least *somewhat* naturally this way. I’ve never seen her more than around 15lb than she is now.

      • blonde on the dock says:

        That’s not always true for everyone. Both of my older sisters are the same size if not thinner than they were when they were in their thirties. I think you have to take into account a person’s frame and muscle mass as well. As AJ ages her arms and legs will remain thin but her torso is where she will gain weight. Look at pictures of her mom.

  19. Green_Eyes says:

    Good Lord people stop and think for a minute! NOONE could have the energy she does on 600 calories a day!! Having been in the medical profession before I got to sick… Unless she has a feeding tube just to live (doesn’t include running after 6 children ..just meaning surviving), she wouldn’t be functional long at all! I can barely take in 1000 calories a day and Dr.s informed Tuesday, after these tests this week to expect a lovely parting gift to include my own personal stylish Feeding tube… No way in he’ll I can run after 6 kids!

    • Lady D says:

      I really hope you will be okay Green Eyes. Stay strong.

    • blonde on the dock says:

      Wrong!!! Take a look at a ballet dancer. They basically run a marathon during one performance while being seriously anorexic. Caffeine is their fuel.

      • Cheyenne says:

        If they were “seriously anorexic” they couldn’t be dancing for years and years. Being very thin is one thing; one can be thin and still be well-nourished. Anorexia is something altogether different.

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        Caffine and/or adderall. You could chase 6 kids, clean the house and stay up all night on 600 calories and adderall.

        @green eyes, be well. ***internet hugs***

    • Sakyiwaa says:

      Stay strong, Green Eyes :-).

    • Heine says:

      I do hope you feel better but I have to disagree with you. I never eat more than 1,000 calories in one day. You can be healthy and eat right around or right under the 1,000 calorie mark.

      EDIT: And yes, of course, you can also be healthy with a higher calorie count. Some people require more calories per day to remain healthy. I personally do not.

      For her, I’d eat more and lift weights. She’s always been a tad boxy through her midsection with skinny arms and legs. I think with a better diet and more exercise she could look more fit instead of frail. There is such a thing as fit and thin.

  20. Madpoe says:

    Since the 1st Lara Croft I’ve seen nothing but how this mama is under weight. They raved how her 125lbs on her 5’7 was amazing for the film and blah blah blah. Now every other moment (it seems) Star and others says she’s clinging to life around 89lbs or 92lbs.

    So I ask, why do these mags think we care, if not to instill thinspiration to young woman who think they’re a “fatty”? These covers always seem to blare “YOU CAN’T BE HER!”

  21. JP Fan says:

    Quadruple MEH to you Kaiser!!! for posting Lies & Shit crap, just as bad as posting Outta Touch and NE BULLSHIT!

    Jealousy and hatred are very sad and ugly emotion…especially when these emotions are directed at people one has never met & they have never ever done anything to hurt these insecure losers! After over 7 years and 6 kids later, it sure makes these idiots look like they are in deep need of therapy. I sure hope these idots don’t live anywhere near me and my family…PATHETIC!

  22. Wildone says:

    She has gained some weight and funny how they used a photo from last year and Photoshop her arm to make it look smaller than what it was.

    • Deltona lakes says:

      I’ve always said they photoshop her to look skinnier. I’ve notice the photos on JJB she always appears heavier. Also, people who’ve met her including one of my clients said she looks healthy and stunning in person.

      • Freya says:

        I think so too. They can and do make her look thinner and sometimes add more wrinkles on her face.

        I remember seeing a picture of one who we know is on the short side, and they ‘extended’ her legs up to there! Quite funny!

  23. Iheartlasagne says:

    Yes, she’s thin. Yes, she looks better with 10-20 more pounds on, like w/ Tomb Raider. But if you look at her through time, even prior to Billy Bob times, she’s always looked about the same. Even in Gia you can see she’s got long toothpick legs & arms & not much of a waist. It’s just how she is. Tiny wrists & ankles, scrawny calves, veiny, thin arms, a bit straight in the torso. Even in Tomb Raider you can appreciate she’s definitely not hourglass. Just let it go, who cares!

    • Cheyenne says:

      Agree. She looks no thinner now than she did in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Wanted. (I’m not altogether sure that was her ass in Wanted, but those sure were her boobs in Original Sin.)

  24. Ell says:

    There are a few reasons why I’m not particularly a fan of Angelina, one being her narcissism. But these stories and comments about her weight are out of order.

    Nobody’s weight should be up for speculation. I have no idea why she is under weight but I’ve been there myself and the pressure by people to put on weight does not help. It’s nobody’s business but hers. It’s got nothing to do with her personaity or her celebrity.

    • Carrie says:

      How do you arrive at her being narcissistic? Do you know the definition of that word? If anything, Angelina is the opposite of narcissistic.

  25. DarkEmpress says:

    I think she is naturally thin. She has always been thin. I dont think she is trying to remain thin. However, if she wanted to gain weight, she would have to try.

  26. Heavenbound says:

    It looks like not only does she pad her derrière, but also her bra. You can see it in the picture where she is wearing all black

  27. Erin says:

    She is in no way,shape or form the same as in her Gia days.She had a body in that movie.It’s clear she is far too skinny now.But I have to say,I think she is still mourning her mom deeply,and grief will do that to you.

  28. Maritza says:

    I don’t see any change at all.

  29. Kerfuffles says:

    She has crossed the line from “thin” to anorexic looking to me. I’m sure the L&S story itself is bunk, but she does look unhealthy to me in pics & interviews. She’s still a beautiful woman but she has a corpsy look now that is rather alarming. I hope she gets help for whatever it is keeping her from eating, even if it’s just stress.

  30. Chereth Cutestory says:

    It’s none of our business what she weighs.

    It’s her body. Let her do what she wants with it.

    • spinner says:

      It is definitely her choice if she wants to look like this. It is not an attractive look to me but she must think she looks good. She might have a distorted view of herself.

    • Vesper says:

      If u had children (females) would u really want Angelina’s weight to be used as a role model?

      Not sure how all these people can say Angelina has always been this thin. Compare pics side by side of Foxfire, Gia, Gone in Sixty Seconds (I believe it is called), and Original Sin, and it is pretty easy to see there is a huge difference. Yes, she has always had long limbs, small wrists, and veins on her hands, however, she now has sharp little elbows, bones sticking out everywhere including her collar bone, much more prominant veins, and her head now looks out of proportion. Her face may be beautiful, but it was much more healthy looking before. For someone in their mid 30’s who has had 3 children, this is not normal and I don’t believe a high metabolism ALONE can cause someone to get this thin. The reason behind the weight loss can be anyone’s guess, but one thing it is not due to is exercise. She has no muscle tone.

  31. shalibali says:

    She is too thin and should try to put on some weight. I think the death of her mother has really affected her , as she started losing weight after her Mom died. I saw her on 60 minutes the other night being interviewed and she started breaking down when the announcer started talking about her mother. I think it really affected her emotionally and physically.

  32. Cerulean says:

    She is looking better lately. I don’t think she is that into food. I like her a little heavier though.

  33. Sakyiwaa says:

    As a longtime fan, i know the tabs will always be vicious with Jolie. Like she said they are shallow and vain.
    I think she could do with some weight. But Im not gonna stop liking and supporting her cos she needs to gain weight… Gad. Could be the pressure to get lots done everyday. She will, when wants to.

  34. rylan says:

    Someone please help me out here. AJ was so skinny in Girl, Interrupted. She’s even thinner NOW??

    • Sakyiwaa says:

      The ‘she’s a stick now’ thing beats me too. Unless, I missed something and Angie was a hippopotamus in Girl, Interrupted…

    • Vesper says:

      Yes, she was almost as skinny in Girl Interrupted, and she didn’t look healthy. How long after that did she institutionalize herself for a few days because she was afraid she would hurt herself? She has issues, and they were there long before her mother died.

  35. G says:

    The idea that these stories are being circulted to promote her movie is preposterous. If she wanted to use the tabs, she’s more than smart enough to plant better stories and has the means to stage much more advantageous photo ops.

    It’s more like the tabs (who need to put out stories daily) are taking advantage of her film premiere to recirculate some old stories to gather some internet hits from her diehard haters.

    When you go back to the original article,this rouond about her weight, the fawning over her Laura Croft look was started by the woman who runs a food service company for celebs and had her business then.

  36. Happy21 says:

    I think that the photos on the cover of L&S are gross and that she looks sooo bony and awful. However, I have noticed that she looks like she has put on some weight in recent months. I don’t think that she seems like the type of woman who would be desperate to be skinny. What I think is that she probably is very busy and is probably on the go, probably doesn’t eat enough and probably all of a sudden is 10 lbs. lighter. Whoops! I know a few mothers who are like this. Its not healthy at all but its pretty common. And in Angie’s defence, she has always had thin arms.

  37. Lisa says:

    The article about LeAnn is weird, because I actually think she’s looking a bit better these days.

  38. yep says:

    “As long as Brad thinks I’m beautiful.”
    .
    yeah, sure he wants her to gain weight. Not.

  39. Volianne says:

    Wow!!! Are you guys serious????!!!! You have been talking trash about every celebrity posted on this site but when someone says something negative about Angelina you get all defensive!!!! She IS to bloody thin, just accept it!!!!! And personally I don’t buy the good samaritan act either. Lots of celebrities do charity work, but she and that jerk husband of hers are the only ones who advertise it that much!!!! Charity is supposed to be done anonymously, otherwise it is just a tax return issue. Saint Angelina my butt!!! She is an anorexic, home wrecker, mentally unstable, blood drinking, former drug user, suicidal b**ch and you actually defend her??? She shouldnt be allowed to give birth to kids, let alone adopt them. Congrats to her publisist who transformed her from a trainwreck to a saint!!! great job man!!! you deserved every penny she payed you!!!

      Quick! Call Animal Planet, this one needs a documentary…

      • G says:

        Wow, what banal outrage at someone who’s actually very accomplished. There are some REALLY small towns out there.

    • Volianne says:

      Ummm, at which point did I insult the both of you? Why am I being called a small town animal all of a sudden? Are we seriously going to take this to a personal level?? because I too can play the name-calling game.

      • Lucky Charm says:

        Ummm, you just did! And I quote: “She is an anorexic, home wrecker, mentally unstable, blood drinking, former drug user, suicidal b**ch…”

        That sure seems to me like you have already taken name-calling to a personal level. Which is even more absurd due to the fact that you have never even met or held a conversation with Angelina!

      • Vesper says:

        Volianne, just ignore them. Some people on this site don’t know how to communicate with someone they don’t agree with. Gossip sites are supposed to be meant for comments (catty or not), about the so-called “celebrity” in question, not to attack the posters. Grow up ladies!!

    • mln76 says:

      someone needs a Xanax 🙂

      • G says:

        I agree that she’s skinny, but I don’t know how that tranlates into justifying the long list of lurid exaggerations?

        Personal insults in the internet, really? Ouch.

    • Cheyenne says:

      Oh for heaven’s Volianne, calm down. Your name is not Jennifer Aniston, the man who dumped you is not named Brad Pitt, and the woman you got dumped for is not named Angelina Jolie. Now chill.

    • Volianne says:

      Lurid exaggerations??? Everything I said about her is true!!! She even admitted the drugs and the suicidal tendencies herself!!! Typical Angelina fans!! When people say things you dont want to hear, you start attacking and bullying people into stoping. It’s you who needs to chill.

      • mln76 says:

        Your comment crossed a line. You have every right to dislike whoever you want. But don’t be so surprised if you get called out for crazy rants. There are ALOT of celebs that I criticize but I draw the line at attacking them as parents UNLESS I have real evidence that they are abusing their kid cuz that’s some serious shit way beyond gossip. Oh and BTW no one is calling her a Saint we just don’t believe every B.S. tabloid story. So yes I’d suggest a Xanax to calm the hell down.

      • ilse says:

        @volianne

        zzzzz…

      • Camille says:

        mln76: Excellent comment, I agree.

      • Vesper says:

        @ MLN 76

        YOU drew the line and it is one that is subjective. Volianne has just as much right to give her opinion as u do. Who are u to deem when comments are unacceptable or not? How old are are u to assume everyone is going to make only positive comments? Further, unless I missed something Volianne didn’t say anything about Angelina’s parenting skills, and even if she did, this is a gossip site.

      • Vesper says:

        I should have added, yes, just as Volianne stated there have been many interviews that cover the subject of Angelina’s issues with mental health, cutting and drugs. Even her own father, a man who has a long history in Hollywood, and was very well respected during his prime, begged Angelina to get help in one interview after he witnessed a breakdown.

        As far as sources re. Angelina’s history with drugs, there are many. One example is an article published by ABC 20/20 on July 11/03 two or three days following Jolie’s TV interview with Barbara Walters (ABC 20/20). It states the following, “Jolie has admitted she flirted with a heroin habit herself…”

      • Cheyenne says:

        @Vesper: She drew the line herself when she said “she should never be allowed to have or adopt children”. Who the hell is she to make a judgement like that?

        The problem with most of you Aniston fans is you’ve never learned the difference between fact and slander.

    • Volianne says:

      What is wrong with you? I never said she abuses her kids!!! Even though I personally am not willing to erase her past from my memory, its obvious that they would never let her adopt if she still had all these problems. I am not saying she still does all those things, I just haven’t forgotten that she used to. And even though you claim you do not believe the tabloids, somehow you managed to buy right into the entire “perfect” Angelina theory they are trying to sell.

      • Derpy says:

        BUT BUT BUT

        Last week everyone was saying she’s fake and a try hard?

      • Cheyenne says:

        @Volianne: You said: “She shouldn’t be allowed to give birth to kids, let alone adopt them.” From all reports, she is a great mom to all her children, natural and adopted.

        Saying someone shouldn’t be allowed to raise a child without any proof that that person is a bad parent is tantamount to slander. You definitely crossed a line.

      • Vesper says:

        The reality is nobody in the US or Canada would approve an adoption by someone who has had severe and chronic issues with depression, strong enough suicidal ideation that there was a need for voluntary admission into a psych ward for evaluation, a self admitted drug “experimenter” who had a “heroin habit”, and was a cutter.

      • Freya says:

        Vesper, the good thing is that plenty of children for adoption can be found outside the US and Canada.

      • Lolapop says:

        The reality is Vesper, that in order to gain entry into America for her children, to be recognized as their mother, to gain them citizenship AND to apply for Brad to adopt them, she has to pass all the exact same rules in America as if she legally adopted in America. Do some research and you’d find this out for yourself. And she obviously passes and she would with flying colors. So your ‘reality’ is pure rubbish.

    • Freya says:

      “She shouldn’t be allowed to give birth to kids, let alone adopt them.”

      Really, and who decides that? Angry people like you?
      As you know, she has adopted three and given birth to another three, and it’s none of your business.

    • Carrie says:

      Wow, someone posts the pro-forma bash Angelina template again. Lets go through it, shall we?

      “And personally I don’t buy the good samaritan act either. Lots of celebrities do charity work, but she and that jerk husband of hers are the
      only ones who advertise it that much!!!! Charity is supposed to be done anonymously, otherwise it is just a tax return issue.”
      Brad is a good decent gentleman. In fact, he is far too decent for his own good, especially when it comes to his manipulative despicable ex-wife. Angelina has beeing doing charity for a third of her lifetime, a long time to keep it up, if it were just an act. And do you seriously think you can spot a fake, and Nelson Mandela, who lauds Angelina, can’t? The UN honoured her recently; I’m sure they’ve seen there fakes over time. She was invited to be a member of the special Foreign Council, with other major Diplomats. Are you saying any fake can rise that high?
      As to publicty, its not her choice. Her job means she has to liase with the media and have the cameras there, much like a politician does. The whole point of a Celebrity UN Ambassador is to USE THEIR CELEBRITY, to raise awareness. Of course other stars contribute to charity, but THEY are not Celebrity UN Ambassadors, are they? So they can throw a check and go back to partying. Angelina has to do press conferences, its part of the UN Charter of duties.

      “Saint Angelina my butt!!!”
      As usual, the ONLY ones who call her a ‘Saint’ are the haters. None of her supporters do, so stop projecting.

      “home wrecker”
      No she isn’t, on the contrary. She has never been involved with a taken man, and there has never been a single shred of proof. Aniston is the one who steals other women’s men. Check your facts.

      “mentally unstable”
      She seems FAR from mentally unstable. Where is your proof?

      “blood drinking”
      This is a hilarious one. You must be truly desperate to invent this lie. And unstable yourself. Where have you ever read that Angelina “drinks” blood? Put up.

      “former drug user”
      Isn’t everyone in Hollywood? Even former US Presidents are – so, your point is….?

      “suicidal b**ch”
      She has never been suicidal, but its nice that you think people who are, are “suicidal ‘bitches’ “. You have all the heart and soul of a stone.

      “and you actually defend her???”
      When people maliciously lie about someone and smear them like you do, damn right NORMAL people will defend her.

      “She shouldnt be allowed to give birth to kids, let alone adopt them.”
      Charming. What has she ever done to you, to warrant such INTENSE HATRED? It seems to me that YOU are the one who shouldn’t be allowed near children, let alone birth them. Its a pity it can’t be retroactive.

      “Congrats to her publisist”
      Another faux pas from you. Angelina doesn’t even have a publicist.

      From your post, its obvious that you are a seriously angry, hateful deeply disturbed sociopathic person and you should seek help because clearly you are more than a little mentally unstable yourself… You are a very sick, nasty, evil-minded b*tch and are far more unstable than angelina ever was in her past. I pray you grow up and stop being full of hatred and bitterness for someone who is essentially a good person and who hasn’t done anything to hurt anyone. You are a psycho, a small-minded hateful psycho, who shouldn’t be allowed to walk the streets. You are the bad person. Not Angelina. Take a good look at YOURSELF, you hateful toxic jealous bitch.

  40. F’n skinny or not…I’m a fan

  41. Northern Light says:

    She has a beautiful face but IS painfully underweight. Sorry if truth hurts..

  42. STOPGOOP says:

    It is obvious Angie doesn’t eat much. But she has a spider-like body, with super thin arms and legs, and that is all you really get to see when she is out and about. She is one of many celebs who I wish would promote a healthier body weight, but (even as saintly as she is) she is sadly just like the rest of the hollywood bobbleheads. Her body and face are her career and she wants them to look a certain way. I don’t blame her for eating (or NOT eating) whatever the f&%k she wants, I just wish she (and other celebs) would spread the word that their eating habits are NOT healthy.

  43. geneva says:

    fan or no fan… from the perspective of someone who has had an active eating disorder since the age of 11 (now 38) – she is too thin and although i do not believe she is anorexic on a clinical level – anyone who has access to calories but deprives their body has some form of eating disorder. plain and simple. i don’t necessarily look at her as a negative role model for women but more as a woman who “cannot or will not” eat when they experience stress.

  44. G says:

    Sorry, but that so-called new picture doesn’t look new at all. She looks thin but fine in her recent interview on 60 minutes and seems anything but “desperate.”

  45. Medusa says:

    I don’t buy for a second that she’s trying to get skinnier. She’s not a stupid woman.

    I think she just doesn’t have the best appetite in the world, especially when stressed. Perhaps she has a digestive problem that makes eating not so much fun.

  46. d says:

    ugh, can we add her to the list of people you don’t write about? Topics on her just seem to bring out the worst in EVERYONE…

  47. NeoCleo says:

    I don’t care if you are a fan or not a fan–the woman is too damn thin. She looks very unhealthy.

    As for the statements “she’s looked this way for years” go, yes, she has. AND for the last years she has looked bad!

    Check her out during her Lara Croft days. She was a believable action hero then and she was still slender but fit and with muscle tone.

    SHE LOOKS TERRIBLE. She looks like she is killing herself through slow starvation. Are her fans blind?

  48. ilse says:

    @ Volianne
    you are really out of your meds, and now you are contradicting yourself… now you say that “she doesn’t” do all those things then why do you express yourself like it is the present:
    Sorry, but you seem one of those crazies from other forums.
    if you don’t like her charity, fine, there are people who are benefiting from her charities, her “jerk” husband became more involved with charities and promotes it as much as others do… but in these forums they are seen with a microscope, and if you look for news about them (love them or hate them you are here) it seems like a lot, while most info is actually recycled.

    Angelina not only does charity, but she also is a spokesperson, and is not supposed t keep quiet, but whatever.

    I’d like proof that she is anorexic like you say… homewrecker?? They have more of a family and a life now than BP had before, or more than what BBT and double homewrecker Laura Dern ever had, and get over it already it’s been years!
    If she is mentally unstable, so are many people in HW, including precious Aniston and her +20 years of therapy.
    blood drinking? that’s a new one, good thing “vampires” are so in vogue right now.
    former drug user?? kudos to her for overcoming an issue tht turns deadly for many. Many talented loving persons have fallen to addiction, but I guess she was not a full blown addict ever, but grew a backbone and stopped using. good for her.
    Suicidal? I pity an in you family who dared have depression, you seem very understanding.
    What moral judge are you to say who should or shouldn’t have children? Now, violent abusive people who put their children in washers as punishment, I understand.. but you really come off as the mentally unstable one.

  49. G says:

    Geez, there are a million college philosphy majors who went through a similar dark existential dark period.

    It’s not that uncommon and for the most part young people emerge from such a period to become productive members of society. Clearly Angelina has, to become a charitable sucessful actor, writer producer and UN Ambassador. Or is the UN complicit in her suicidal blood drinking?

    • Camille says:

      Yes anyone would think that AJ had murdered someone or something with the amount of ridiculous vitriol that some people like to spew at her.

      Why knew that being skinny and having a ‘dark’ past that she has over come would make people hate her also. 🙄

      I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I have to wonder if AJ and BP had split up shortly after getting together, if it would have appeased some people and if AJ would still get the hate parade that she gets now. Hmmm.

  50. Camille says:

    Those cover photos look photoshopped to me.

    Another day, another tabloid hating on AJ. When will they give it a rest. Do people really eat this sh*t up?? Judging by ‘Volianne’s’ post up thread ^ I guess some people do. 🙄 Sigh.

  51. lionia says:

    She is so gross, sad she lost her beautty, she is freakish looking now, did she have bad plastic surgery? I think I almost feel sorry for Brad having to bang that. EWW!

    • Seal Team 6 says:

      Oh, she is not. You may not find her attractive, but that doesn’t mean your opinion matches up with the facts, because it doesn’t.

    • Really!! says:

      Oh don’t worry brad love every bit of that skinny body of Angelina Jolie and brad even said her body is like a work of art..now who will Angelina believe YOU or BRAD??

  52. AVA says:

    I don’t think she looks terrible at all.
    In old photos of her, her arms and legs were just as skinny as now.

    In photos of her mother, you see the same arms and legs.

    Angelina has a very full bust, a shapely waist line, beautiful skin etc.

    Even when pregnant her arms and legs were still super thin. She could eat and eat and I think they would staythe same size.

    • Vesper says:

      Are u kidding me? I’m sure she was thinner in her modelling days, but Angelina’s mother before she was diagnosed with cancer was far from thin.

      Anglelina’s bust is full because she has implants. In her nude scenes in Gia she wasn’t nearly as endowed. As for her “beautiful” skin, the best word I can think of that describes it is pallor.

  53. Seal Team 6 says:

    Her breasts are too big and full for her to be anorexic. Good grief. She became very thin after her Mother died, then went back to the weight she has been since she’s been an adult. There is also something called “Photoshop.”

    And, like Giada, she is a “Big Head.”

    • Lisa says:

      Haha, Giada D. She’s not that skinny. She’s straight up and down, I’ll grant that, but if you really look at her you’ll see she’s pretty flabby. Check her out in the opening credits where she’s walking on the beach. Her legs are thick!

  54. kate says:

    She is skanky and gross. If we’re lucky, she will wither away soon.

  55. teri says:

    Angelina is a beautiful woman inside and out regardless of what some negative nellys say.

  56. Caribbean says:

    There are star in Hollywood right now that have problems and have been very nasty in the past, but did not admit to it.
    All AJ did was what most Americans kids and adult were and still are doing to THIS DAY.
    Her weight is what millions of people are paying the weight-loss industry millions of dollar to achieve.
    JEALOUS MUCH.
    She is a big money maker for tabloids yet many people who consider themselves sane and wise cannot see through the bull they write to make more money off AJ.
    She has never hidden who she is. Perhaps people should start looking at those that are hiding and

  57. diana says:

    You know what: I think it’s truly sad that we look at her hands and face and comment veins and compare pictures. What we should be doing instead is see the fact that she gives time and money to people in needs. What do we care why she does it. She does. And it’s her money and her words that in my eyes make up for her past. I also think she doesn’t eat enough, but I hope someone close to her that tries to help her. If they don’t, and she will no longer with us, than the biggest loss would be felt by her kids and all the poor people that she helped or that she could have helped.

    It scares me that Kate Middleton, a future queen, who truly starves herself to death to please tabloids and journalists, does nothing for anybody and she is paid to do otherwise.

    And we pick Jolie for doing it and being crazy?

    Many people that have had drug problems they had them because they try to find a way to deal with some issues. Not a way to solve problems for sure! But it’s their way. And if they find they way out, admit to the problem, and try to comfort themselves by helping others what does it matter?

    She tries her best. Crazy or not crazy. Anoxeric or not.

    She doesn’t spend my money shopping or buying drugs or castles, she doesn’t irritate me when she talks, she talks for people in need.

    Whomever doesn’t like her, pls go to a hospital and hold a leukemic patient hand for an hour. Do so while afterwards you can run back to your comfy apartment/home. See how hard is to not be scared or turned away in face of real pain.

    Bravo Angie! Hope you can yourself find some comfort by helping others. Wish you many many years of health!

    PS: And please slap that stick figure with no soul called Duchess of Cambridge when you get to meet her.

    Also I am not a fan of Angie, nor her movies, never in my life commented on anything that had to do with her. But I think she makes a difference in people’s life. And irritates me that people talk about her figure, her past present, whatever, but focus on her good work.

    Can someone deny she does good?

  58. sandy#1 says:

    well, angelina is a beautiful lady, intelligent,a woman with substance, talented, if being thin is the only name she is called out for, then consider her lucky, I’d trade places with her in a heart beat. now watch some one from the other side repeat this comment, they recycle everything that is said about angie on to you know who, whether it fits or not.

  59. bradlover says:

    ANGIE, GIVE MY MAN BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

  60. CHRISTIAN_GIRL says:

    At every dinner date her and Brad go on the question of what she ate is asked. Every bystander or waiter/staff states what she had and ATE. Never a mention of her excusing herself to go to the bathroom after either.

    She eats, drinks red wine then completes her evening holed up somewhere with Brad. Sounds healthy to me. Sure she and Brad are thin, but to scream unhealthy sounds like more wishful thinking. For what purpose?

    Brad it seems is preparing for his next role which is staring after awards season. Angie, is preparing for her next project. Sick people don’t prepare for anything, other than feeding their sickness. We know this, but our bullseye target is on Angie’s back. I know, if she is too thin those fiery darts and daggers might miss.

    In all her years, people have still yet to learn that she can’t be controlled, forced, shamed, guilted, threantened, ridiculed or victimized into submission. She will continue to do as SHE sees fit and that is one of the greatest gifts she has. It goes her way and you either follow or step aside, but you won’t lead her to do as YOU see fit. Hats off to her for having that be her person. In that, she is a wonderful role model for anyone. She is more than her, looks, hair, weight, kids, career, philanthropy or man she loves. She is her being that she owns. No one thing can describe her. Brad latched on for good reason and I admire his awareness to do so. He will hold on to her and his family. Remember, he knows her and loves what he knows. She is smart and NO tabloid can stop that. She will do want she wants until she is no longer here. Can we all say the same?

    That IS one BAD CHICK. And it hurts to witness it for some. So, if and when she wants to gain weight she will, if not she won’t. That is the defiant one woman, I adore. I will wait for what next great thing she does. Thin, or not. It is not my call and the faster everyone else gets that, we will be able to move on to what really matters and sadly it will be what SHE decides and not gossips. Control that. She is dictating what matters. Yep, step aside or follow. Loves it.

  61. Brit says:

    She’s anorexic point blank. I know AJ fans will act like she is healthy, but she is not. Skinny doesn’t always equal healthy.

  62. Memphis says:

    I like Angie… but she’s looking to thin.

  63. ManicPixieDreamGirl says:

    Angelina’s diet is “green tea, almonds, red wine, handfuls of cereal and gummy bears.”

    Yep. Sounds like my diet as of late..

  64. mainstream says:

    Did I miss an email or something? When was it established that the skeletal look was the ideal look for a woman?

  65. ShanKat says:

    “desperate to be skinny” and “starving herself,” and “refusing to eat.” Also, she’s “run down, nervous and worried”

    Also known as: Tuesday.

  66. Carrie says:

    I have no doubt that these tabloids who obviously hate Angelina have photoshopped these pictures to make her look worse. They make up lies about her, so surely they ‘make up’ pictures about her. In ordinary photos such as red carpet, her bone structure looks completely different.

  67. fabulousfunster says:

    I agree with the posts that said Angelina is grieving for her mother. My own mum died nearly 3 years ago and now my skinny size 0 jeans are too big for me and I have to wear my daughters age 11/12 cast offs. I still eat normally but I know that I’m not the same as I used to be. Its really hard and not something that you would wish on your worst enemy.

  68. Lisa says:

    She’s always been naturally thin. Just because someone is occasionally bigger (not fatter, but maybe with more muscle mass, like she had in Lara Croft), doesn’t mean that is their true weight.

    If someone is already small to begin with, any weight loss they have will be more pronounced. Hence, drama ensues, and magazines do an about face. First she’s sexy with a great body, then suddenly she’s an emotional wreck with an eating disorder. Nice.

  69. marie says:

    I think she looked much better at the premiere with Brad where she wore the red fitted dress. She didn’t look as thin.

  70. whatevs says:

    idgi if she gained some weight she would appear so much younger. but maybe this isn’t about weight maybe seeing all those starving people got to her 🙁

  71. misspdx says:

    Gummy Bears are actually fat free 😀

    Seriously!
