Angelina Jolie's Fall From Sainthood - Comments Page 2

The media looks for reasons to tear down a celebrity and Angelina has given them all the right ones.

I can just see it now. As Angelina Jolie prepares for her next visit to a third world orphanage, she receives a call from her philanthropy publicist, who says that her digital photographer has just quit. “But I need someone to take pictures of me caring for the kids!” Jolie screams.…

    I agree with the writer 100%. Angie is a fake! Brad will figure her out sooner or later. She's probably already threatened him regarding the kids. Shiloh has African citizenship and Angie and Maddoz have Cambodian citizenship. I'm pretty confident that Angie has emotionally blackmailed Brad and he knows that she will up and move out of country where he wouldn't be able to see the kids for very long. Angie was clever in that way. But regardless, they won't last because she's a nut, deep down inside she's knows it's true. Once a nut always a nut as far as I'm concerned. She seems to have a serious personality disorder and right now she's going through the "I'm too good for you...personality". She's just waiting till Jen remarries and then she'll leave Brad. And I'm willing to bet money on it.

    You all go get a life.and for the so called publisher, take a look at yourself and then the article. You bring someone down and you are proud of yourself,SHAME ON YOU. And for you sick people, you even went as far as calling Maddox, Maggot, What a life? He is a poor boy that has found a good life.What is the hate all about? You can never be Angie.

    It's really so sad and so alarming when people actually enjoy reading about people being put down and criticized for the good deeds they have done.This article is just so evil! And why is angie getting all the flack and brad seems to get away scot free? She was single when they hooked up. It was brad who was married. He has the bigger responsibility there.Can you blame angie for being wary of the press when people like this writer daryl prefers to twist her every move and words and ignores all the good things she is TRYING to do atleast. She's not perfect but atleast she is dong something good to humanity.people, give her a break. She's human like the rest of us!

    I believe you give you and yours too much credit. Tearing her down, to build her back up? How presumptuous! ...A realstate lawyer defending adoption lawyers. Isn't that comforting. The problem here is lawyers have a hard time believing you can have kids without SCREWING someone. Please, Angie's not going to lose any sleep over what you and yours think or write about her.

    This article is not some tabloid piece. It is merely speaking the truth. Are Angelina fans so blind that they can't see that their idol is a complete fake. Angelina was very aware of her illegal adoption. that's why she has to insult Madonna and go around doing fake philanthropy assignments. Pathetic!

    I think what Angelina is doing is just fine with me. If you want to go kick someone, pick out some really bad guys, but these people are not hurting anyone. She did not steal Brad Pitt, Jennifer had lost him a long time ago. Hooray for Angelina having his children, Jen never did. Who cares, she adopted these children and giving them a good life. Why don't you get a life and write something constructive.

    i don't think the magazines and the authors that profess love to either AJ or JA are conveying their true beliefs - they just apply the lessons learnt in Media Manipulation 101, to keep the subject in the news. As for AJ's ego, you need to ask yourselves if you would fare any better if you were that beautiful and famous...I think Ryan S has not that many reasons for displaying his

    Shame on you for this blog also filled with half truths and misrepresentation.

    AJ is one of the only celebrities to actually go out and stay at the refugee camps, pass out food to refugees on Thanksgiving in earthquake affected areas, actually make a hands on difference vs writing a check at a Hollywood dinner.

    She was doing this charity work long before the cameras began hounding her. If the cameras are following them no matter what..why not try to spotlight a cause with it and make a difference vs Hilton and Spears flashing their genitals and spreading antibiotic resistant STD's.

    And the "blob" description was provided by the interviewer not Jolie when she couldn't find the right word to describe a baby's lack of formed personality as a newborn. Trying to explainthat it was easier to bond with her adopted children since they were already their own person that she could interact with.

    And she wasn't exactly revered during the break up of Jen and Brad she was vilafied, perhaps for no good reason considering the three people directly involved all maintain that nothing happened until after the divorce procedings began. and for those who cry foul still.. Jen was already seeing Vince during that same time so she is just as guilty.

    And anyone who adopted children from Cambodia at that time went thru that agency. It appeared to be a reputable agency and they were the ones paying off officals not the adopting parents. She didn't single handly bring down the adoption agency!

    I am so sick of this bullshit style of story telling especially when it is 2% juice and 98% non nutritional crap!!!

    The woman could singehandedly cure cancer, feed every hungry child in all the world and capture Osama Bin Laden by performing the dance of the seven viels and she would still not be considered a saint..let alone a human being worthy of any respect at all according to you people.

    This writer really knows how to write fiction. Obviously in need of a life. And what has he done to help poor abandoned children, may we ask. I suggest that before you throw a stone at someone and accuse them of wrong doing, take a good look at yourself and see if you are flawless yourself, then see if you have a right to speak out. Otherwise, shut the hell up!!!!

    You know, the girl does a great job as an actress. I enjoy her movies on the whole, and how exactly is what she does in her private life any of my business or concern? She didn't steal money out of my wallet and she hasn't pelted me with rocks 'n garbage, so if she and her husband are happy with their lives and their adopted family, great. Good luck and God bless.

    If I wanted something to be concerned about, it would be the sad state of the rest of society that ignores the decline of the average Americans' Constitutional rights under the current regime and both "major" political parties. There are brave men and women fighting and dying in a foriegn land with no appearant definition of victory to be declared so they can come home (until Halliburton rules the world) and the best we can do is sarcasm about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and their adopted children?

    We don't need a war on terror; we need an assualt on asininity.

    Hi
    I knew that it would show sooner than later. There has never been a person of such a sinfull lust of life to break as many laws and break up peoples marriages and flaunt it like no bodies business. When you know she was eating it up. Then to make that comment about "I bet Jennifer never did that to you before" Oh how gross. Jennifer has better self esteem; when you know she just might have done that and a lot more. Grant it takes two to either make it or not. But if Angelina's puts her pu--y in someones face, and expect that they stay faithfull? You know it aint gonna happen. He will get his day too, and jennifer can take pride in the fact.

    TRACEY....screw Jennifer, if she was doing the right things she would -probably- still have Brad. No one has rights to anyone. She loved and lost; MOVE ON! Angelina has done more for humanity than many. If the writer of this article wants to do something important... go to Iraq or Afghanistan or visit Africa and do something important there!

    Jan 26, 2007 at 6:35 am

    Angelina's fake charity work is finally being exposed to the world. Everything she does is for PR it's all calculated. And the way she pimps out those poor kids for publicity is just despicable.

    Keep up the good work in exposing Angelina for the faker she is. Anyone who can't see through her is just plain stupid.

  • 51 - Expose her to the world

    Jan 26, 2007 at 6:43 am

    I'm so pleased that more and more articles like this are appearing.

    I urge an independent journalist to start researching Jolie and expose the real Jolie to the world - master PR manipulator who abuses third world countries for her own needs.

    The trip to Pakistan was hastily arranged by Jolie and Pitt only after they knew she was pregnant and BEFORE they announced it. It was done only to cloak themselves in fake charity work because news of the adulterous pregnancy conceived while Pitt was still married would shock the world.

    Then there was Pat Kingsley's advice to Pitt and Jolie to not do PDA's for a year a calculated PR strategy - because Americans are repulsed by adultery. Pitt later admitted that this was the "year of silence" at the Golden Globes.

    Then there was Jolie's attention seeking visit to Davos - still doing PR in an attempt to win over people in the flyover states disgusted by her pregnancy by a married man who dumped his wife for her.

    Then there was the timing of the adoption by Jolie of Zahara - timed to distract attention away from the scandal of her affair with Pitt.

    Plus all Jolie and Pitt's lies "I would never have a biological child as it would mean one less child in an orphanage" "I would never sleep with a married man" "I have enough lovers I don't need Brad" etc etc

    Jolie must be exposed to the world and it's vital that more articles like this get printed.

    OMG, there are so many idle people in this world! If the author of this article lacks something meaningful to do, he should go to Iraq and fight for this country.
    Why are you jealous of Angie and Brad? If you want to talk about "FAKE", talk about Jennifer Aniston, who for two years have been crying over a man, while at the same time sleeping with her co-star whom she feel in love with while shooting a movie, about the same time that her ex-husband Brad was shooting "Mr. and Mrs Smith". Talk about fake! Talk about double standards!!!!

    Wow daryl, I guess to you Angelina Jolie has to send her 'freaky' fans over to defend her because apparently according to you, she has none that just love her and want to do it because they feel like it. So, according to you, since I am a 26 year old nursing student and a fan of Angelina Jolie who feels a need to defend her,I must be a freaky person. If you are so sure that there is more to Maddox adoption and have the information, why not just expose her? Since that is everyone in the media's favorite past time nowadays, why not just do it and end her career and life once and for all which you obviously want? After all according to you and others, Angelina Jolie is the most evil and dangerous person out there, even worse than Osama Bin Laden. She must be stopped and exposed immediately. So, go on and expose her because the world will be safer and much more enjoyable with her gone. There will be no more fake charities, no more celebrities having their picture of their children taken, no more calling children blobs, no more celebrities on set hooking up with their married co-stars, no more illegal adoptions, no more being with Brad Pitt, no more pain to Jennifer Aniston, no more hunger in the world, no more wars, and most importantly, NO MORE ANGELINA JOLIE.

    I think both Angelina and Brad are fake. Who's to say they actually do any good. Okay there are pictures of they handing out food, what happens when the cameras arent there? How come no one has ever come across them doing any work without a shitload of media following them, its a huge set up. Good for her adopting children outside of america but there's poverty and starving children here too. She's a snobby bitch who just wants the world to think she's a martyr. How about helping other charities like breast cancer research, the salvation army and the thousands of displaced children here, they need it too.

    LOS ANGELES - Marcheline Bertrand, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, has died of cancer, her daughter said Sunday.


    Bertrand died Saturday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Jolie said in a news release. No age was provided.

    Jolie, her older brother, James Haven, and her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, were at the hospital Saturday, according to the news release.

    Bertrand, who had small roles in the movies "Lookin' to Get Out" in 1982 and "The Man Who Loved Women" in 1983, raised Jolie and her brother after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor
    Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler.

    A private funeral was planned.

    In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.

    So I'm supposed to feel bad for writing this article now that St. Angelina's mother has died. I do feel bad for Angelina's family because I recently lost a relative due to cancer. But now, why all the "press releases" about her death. And it doesn't take away that Angelina committed serious adoption crimes and should be in prison for it.

  • 66 - myob

    Jan 29, 2007 at 12:46 am

    no, daryl,, you don't have to feel bad. her mother's death and her own insanity are two totally different things. i'll bet my bottom dollar that her mother's death will be used to salvage whatever reputation she has left.

    she is reaping what she had sowed this year. people kind of feel sorry for her but she is still not going to win respect from most.

    i think she seriously needs help, and brad knows it and is trapped. like her, he is also reaping the fruits of his own doing. the sad part is, they now have 3 innocent lives dependent on them,, who will be directly affected with all the havoc they have created, and will be haunted until they get older. it will be interesting to see what becomes of them after this relationship fizzles. after all the lust is gone, a sense of obligation remains. but that will not last neither. five years is the most i will give their copulation. after that, if they're still together, then i will accept that i was wrong.

I bet you're doing your little "happy dance" in your living room for God has punished the most evil person in this world...(according to your sanctimonious,twisted,publicity-hungry mind)...speaking of prison, does any of you know who are the lawyers of the jolie-pitts? i would dearly love to send this article to them.angelina and brad needs some cheering up.maybe they can adopt another child from the money of this writer from the libel charges they would surely win

Vultures like you are getting much-needed attention and publicity for writing bad things about them (never mind if it's all lies...vultures has to make some living) and you're still amazed why the press found out so soon that her mother died?

    To all of you who are upset with the writer,

    You need to understand that people do things out of their own conviction, which maybe backed up by evidence or no evidence. Similarly, Angelina Jolie did what she did and is continually doing what she is doing out of her own conviction regardless of whether she hurt people or not.

    Daryl is a very talented writer and I very much like what he wrote. I am one of the numerous people who do not like your idol Angelina Jolie. I can like who I want to like and I can dislike who I want to dislike, just like you. I'm sure you have reasons for liking her and I have reasons for disliking her. In the same way, Daryl has his reasons for writing what he wrote, and your idol has her reasons for doing what she does. If we continue to attack one another because of our own preferences, then this discussion will never end, neither will any side win.
    In the end, after all is said and done, you will not be convinced that your idol is a criminal, and people like me on the opposite end will not be convinced that your idol is a saint.
