Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree
In next month’s Vanity Fair magazine, pregnant actress Angelina Jolie gives an interview in which she mentions that she’s never seen her father’s movie Coming Home:
Angelina also spoke about her Father, Jon Voight, with whom she has been estranged for quite some time. Jolie had this to say about her dad, “We don’t really have a relationship, but we’re in contact. And wish each other well. I think we’ve realized there’s been too much discussion. Him discussing me publicly. I’ve had to comment on him. I think it’s best that, if we try to have any relationship in the future, we do it quietly.
Angelina also said she had never been able to view her father’s oscar-winning performance in Coming Home.
“Because that was when my father left my mom, and the woman who he cheated on her with is in the film,†Jolie says.
Well, hmm. Guess she’s never been able to watch a little movie called Mr. & Mrs. Smith, huh?
Curry: You have said, “To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning, if I did that.”
Jolie: Yeah, that’s right.
Curry: That says a lot.
Jolie: Yeah, well, I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.
I wonder, when Brad and Angelina role play, just which one is Pot and which one is Kettle?
Of course, if Angelina bothered to actually do some research, she’d see that the movie was released in 1978. Angelina was born in 1975. Her parents separated in 1976. So, Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand seperated in 1976, the movie was filmed sometime between 1976 and 1977, and was released in 1978. You do the math.
Wonder if Marcheline fed this to her daughter, or if Angelina thought this one up on her own?

She is such a hypocrit. I can’t believe she would have the nerve to say something so stupid, all things considered.

If they really wanted to be “humanitarians” they would start by being humane to those around them, by say, not cheating on loved ones or by having the balls to see that they are no worse and no better than the rest of the human race…and behave accordingly. It’s fun to be a humanitarian, not a challenge, as they make it out to be. If you have the money, its one big ego trip. They don’t think we are smart enough to see that I guess. But hey, glad some people are benefiting from their stoking…good for them!

I think the humanitarian fad in Hollywood is an interesting one. I think it’s silly, but giving millions of dollars to charity to make yourself feel like a more important movie star isn’t something I’m gonna knock. I just think it’s interesting that the media thinks it’s so wonderful that these stars are giving 10% of their earnings to charity. Well, I hate to break it to the media, but a lot of families do that. My father is a minister and has sacrificed a lot to make families in Bolivia be able to have clean drinking water and food and whatever, and that has cut into my college fund and now my brother’s. 10% of the average American family’s income is a LOT more of a sacrifice than what Brangelina maybe donates.
I’ve never liked Angelina. I don’t hate her, but her boobs are fake and her lips freak me out, I feel like half of what she says is a PR stunt and despite her own history with cheating husbands/fathers, she helped lead Brad Pitt astray. Ugh.
I do have to say, though, that this interview is the prettiest and most easygoing I’ve ever seen her. She is so much more animated here than she is in movies. How did such a shitty actress win an Academy Award? I guess the same could be said for Halle Berry.

Too true Brooke, like the story of the widow’s mite vs. the rich guys’ offerings.
Is it true that she says that she wants to stay pregnant all the time? She won’t stay young looking for long if that turns out to be the case.
But anytime someone with more money than they can ever spend gives some away to the needy, it’s a good thing. More of that kind should be doing it.

Well, playing devil’s advocate here…
Both Brad and Angelina say that while they did meet on the set of “Mr & Mrs Smith”, they didn’t begin a romantic relationship while he was still with Jennifer. Jennifer says she believes it (or rather she says she “chooses” to believe it), and Angelina has said she wouldn’t be with a man who would cheat on his wife.
Is it really impossible to believe that Jennifer and Brad were on the way out anyway, prior to his meeting Angelina? That they were already headed for divorce (there were rumours to that effect for a year and a half or more prior to their separation), and that it was just serendipity that Brad met Angelina around the time that his marriage was falling apart?
I’m not saying I know what did or didn’t happen. I am saying that I know for sure that it really is possible that you become friends with someone of the opposite sex while you’re still married, and there’s no hanky panky going on at all, and when your already-troubled marriage breaks up, your friendship with the other person heats up into something more.
Devil’s advocate. That’s me.

Brooke and toldya, everyones entitled to their opinion, but I’m a big fan of checking into things as best I can before criticizing uuuhm humanitarians and a Goodwill Ambassador. She doesn’t just donate money (and lets face it, how would that even be a bad thing?) She goes on missions, does field work, etc. Her efforts are extensive and have been on-going since early 2000. She walks the walk and talks the talk, and I’ve never understood people who talk shit about her efforts. Shit talk about useless irrelevant people whose only contribution to life is keeping Barneys and Roberton Blvd in business like Katie Holmes and Paris Hilton.
I’ll defend BP and AJ online whenever I get the chance because I’m a big fan of anyone who strives to make positive changes in this world.
As far as their persoanl life goes, I think when they met, spent time and got to know eachother while filming MAMS, he saw something admirable in her, as a humanitarian and a single mother, and maybe realized being married to a wake and bake had run it’s course and was unsatisfied and had been for awhile.
If she makes a bold comment like she did about married men, hey, I believe it. It actually IS possible she’s being honest, and the relationship developed just as they said.
Whatever. They’ve got a beautiful family, they seem genuinely happy, and they work hard to contribute, not just their money but their time. I’ve got nothing negative to say about any of it

When Angelina and Brad filed that movie, Brad was married. Period. Happily or not, emotionally there or emotionally separated, he was still married.
If they were attracted to each other, they should have let Brad and Jennifer divorce and then waited a certain amount of time before discreetly beginning to form a relationship.
And quite honestly, I believe Angelina has some serious mental issues. I have no problems with her humanitarian aid efforts (until she tries to tell me how much better she is than I am), but there are bigger, underlying problems there.

??????????
I believe exactly how you described (as your ideal scenario) is exactly what happened according to them.
He WASNT with JA when they started seeing eachother, they filed for divorce

Well I guess it must be true. I mean, with a name like Glosslip, how could anyone doubt this reputable site. The author of this post is so far up their own ass, they’ll soon start to suffocate. Maybe YOU should do some research. Angelina’s parent’s marriage failed in 1978, near the end of the production of “Coming Home”. Get a clue you selfish bitch! Hahahahahah!

Well, I’m not so much knocking Angelina’s efforts as I am of the media’s response to it. You know, as if nobody else in the world does a single good deed. I don’t care for her as an actress, but I can’t really say anything bad about her going out and helping people.
I sorta think she needs to slow down with the kids though. It’s probably not too good on children to be globetrotting… and if the family gets any larger, in a few years when everyone becomes a teenager it’s going to be hell, and I’m predicting Brad and Angelina will be heading for a heartbreak, I mean divorce.

My sister works in the industry, and one of her close friends who worked on the set of the movie did report that Brad and Angelina were either doing some SERIOUS ‘practicing’ in the trailers or that something seemed oddly afoot. It is possible that Jennifer and Brad were already separated, but really, if you love a guy that much.. you can’t just wait till the divorce is finalized to mess around with him?
Comment by Just Saying — June 6, 2008 @ 4:21 am
hmmm…not sure when Angelina stopped by to say she was better than you are k - but I, for one, have no trouble admitting that she’s better than ME.
I like it when people are better than I am, it inspires me to reach for better things myself.
And to me, if a marriage is over spiritually I don’t think the paper matters anymore. How many people stay married on paper, and continue to live in the same house for years, yet have no bond whatsoever?
And for the record, Angelina gives 1/3 of her income away automatically…and more of it for various projects. I agree it’s never going to be the same as a poor family who gives, but what can she and Brad do - go live in the streets before their gifts have any value?
They’re doing what they can and using their resources wonderfully, and the shocking thing is how rare that is in Hollywood!

All I know is that she wouldn’t really be doing her JOB as a Goodwill Ambassador if no one reported on it…..that’s part of the JOB of being a celebrity G.A., they’re basically being USED for their celebrity to bring awareness to causes, and she’s certainly done (and continues to do) her JOB in that position, one only has to read her many accomplishments.
And JustSaying……..unless your freind was IN their trailer with them and they were making out…….or they were making out in their trailer with the door wide open……..know what I’m saying?????

and just as a side note, because people who love to hate this chick, always say BUT BUT BUT….Lots of people do charity, lots of regular people donate and give their time, money, etc, she should do it silently, she shouldn’t do this, she should do that, why doesn’t she be a humanitarian this way instead of that ….BLAHBLAHBLAH……STFU, I’m with Sarah….anyone who gives a dime, or an hour, to those who dedicate their lives, and millions, I wanna say THANK YOU, I admire all of yous!

” Get a clue you selfish bitch! Hahahahahah!”
Like anyone would take what you say seriously. Ending a post with hahahahahaha? How very ORIGINAL. Did you dream that up all by your brilliant self or did you have help?
Angelina-hypocrit.
Comment by Rachel — June 6, 2008 @ 9:13 pm
Those who slag off Angelina, Boring, hilarious - whatever - All upset because you “think” she thinks she is better than you, she doesn’t have a clue who you are you sad little ponies - and do you know why? It’s because she is better than you!
You are probably upset because you are sat in your own filth somewhere, wishing you hadn’t eaten that tenth doughnut and looking for some gossip so you can bitch about a beautiful actress to make you feel better
Um oh yes you all know for a fact she is a home wrecker do you? Were they not separated - thing is funnily enough - I don’t know the facts - because I don’t know Angelina - but if you believed everything in the papers you’d be one confused little puppy

Hi Libraesque! I used to post of Nazi-razzi before I was blocked. I think you and i need to talk about getting even with the nazi’s

Bad people can still do good things.
You can be an ambassador for the poor and disadvantaged everywhere, and give all your money to charity, and still be a homewrecking, manipulative, child hoarding, mentally disturbed slut. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
Has she turned into a sounding gong or a tinkling cymbal yet?
