Actor Jon Voight told the "No Spin Zone" host Bill O'Reilly that he is fascinated by his daughter Angelina Jolie.

This should come as no surprise considering the two have been estranged since 2002 when Voight made unfavorable remarks about Jolie in an interview suggesting she had "serious mental issues."

Despite having given birth to her biological daughter Shiloh with partner Brad Pitt, adopting three children and losing her mother to cancer earlier this year, Angelina has continued to keep her father at arms lengths. Perhaps this fascination stems from the alienation, or it could be that Voight, like the rest of the world, just can't seem to figure the gorgeous actress out.

Angelina, an Oscar-winning actress, is extremely famous for two reasons: her humanitarian work and her home-wrecker status. These two symbolic actions don't co-exist favorably. Whether she and her partner of two years, Brad Pitt, want to admit it or not, it's clear they forged an unmistakable bond while Brad was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston. It doesn't matter when they consummated the act (something they both allege happened after he was separated from his wife) or before - a high profile marriage of two extremely likable celebrities was left in shambles. Symbolically it divided people into two camps. Pro-Angelina vs. Pro-Jennifer.

Then, almost miraculously and with strange coincidence, Angelina embarked on a crusade to bring awareness of the plights of the poor and down-trodden, most especially children, to the eye of world. Truly noble and kind-hearted. Almost the only possible next move of someone wanting to overhaul their image of temptress to saint. I'm not judging, I'm just saying is all.

I applaud her efforts to help children, few things are more important. But I also value the importance of honesty and staying true to your dignity. Breaking up a marriage is NOT cool any way you slice it. Shame on Brad most of all.
