Jolie Pimped Pics Of Pax, Will Her Halo Ever Be Tarnished?
I would be fooling no one if I pretended that I didn’t think Angelina is possibly the most mentally disturbed celebrity of modern times. So I won’t pretend. Jolie is a straight up manipulative control freak seeking to revamp her image after years of untold damage she brought herself through a life of bizarre and twisted behavior.
On top of snatching up a little three-year-old boy sight unseen out of the only home he’s ever known, without even a courtesy of a warning, then changing his name to some stupid three letter abbreviation for an anti-anxiety med, she then arranged a private photo shoot which included flying 2-year-old adopted daughter Zahara from New Orleans to Vietnam for – Shiloh, once again, was left at home. Why all the pomp and circumstance? So she could sell these pics of the family “bonding” to the highest bidder – which just so happened to be People, again. Ostensibly, the money will go to a charitable cause, just like the other money was supposed to go to but has yet to do so.
Radar Online is reporting that Jolie and her lap-dog Brad Pitt will get an estimated 1.75 to 2 million for exclusive photos of Pax and Angelina “bonding.” I wonder if that included a sodering iron and some crazy glue? Harsh? Me? Um, let me remind us all of a few things about Angelina – she’s a homewrecker times two, she made out with her brother, she and ex-husband Billy Bob admitted to f*cking in a limo on their way to an awards show, she carried a vial of blood around her neck, she’s a heroin addict (supposedly reformed), she called her bio-daughter 10-month old, Shiloh, a blob — and so far — she refuses to marry Brad Pit.
Is this a distant past we speak of? No, much of this was within the last three or four years. That’s pretty recent craziness for the world theatre to ignore in masses, and then just hand over innocent children to, no questions asked. Not to mention, Brad Pitt is an admitted pot-smoker. That’s fine, but with Angie being a “reformed” heroin addict and Brad enjoying the herb, one has to wonder if these two unmarried people are suitable parents for so many children – including three who aren’t even theirs — biologically speaking.
The Radar report points to an excellent article in Gawker about the inner machinations behind the whole Brangelina adoption process and how lucrative it is for some. To summarize, People magazine — using Getty Pictures as photo-brokering middleman — has deftly wormed their way into Angelina’s good graces by doing as she asks, playing to her pet causes and only showing her good side, so to speak. In return they get exclusive rights to the major “events” in Angelina’s lives. And by events we all know that means tangentially acquiring children, and more specifically remaking her image. Is it legal, sure. Is it ethical, I guess. Is it sneaky and manipulative, naturally.
The Gawker article has a very interesting source that gives some real insight into how it all happens, but the bottom line is: Angelina wants to control her image and People is more than willing to go along with that, because in the end they make tons of money selling magazines featuring Angie and her brood of multi-hued peeps from around the globe. Thankfully, the gravytrain and the endless adopted children pimping may have an end. At least TMZ’s Harry Levine thinks so:
“How many shots of another kid she’s adopting can you get before it all starts to feel the same?”
Exactly. And if you thinks it’s all about the children, then you are as “distracted” as she hopes you are.

I hear she will also adopt People magazine, rename it something ridiculously fruity like Mandingo, and sell the exclusive motherly photos to mainland Africa in exchange for a time share as an earthly deity.

If there were any more ludicrous, it would be plausible.
Is it just me, or is she insanely self-obsessed?
