Angelina Jolie is not on an ego trip, says Mariane Pearl

WOW! this has been a hotbed of impassioned, intelligent debate on a flimsy, hollywood-saturated topic. As they say it in England, "me likey!"

Why dont you take a look at some of her previous interviews yourself, moron? Where are the Jolie-Pitts now, not many photo ops lately since they were called media who**s are there? And if you know so much about your idols why don't you know that on every single one of her adoptions she had problems. Did you know that the man that helped her write her book has been dismissed from the UN for sexual misconduct, and one of the people named that could have brought him down was Jolie but she never said anything letting, thereby allowing it to continue? And by the way, he was the same man that appointed her as the UN Ambassador after he sexually harrassed her.

So why don't you get educated, or would you prefer to remain stupid? But what can one expect from Trailtrash.

Her profile was found on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named millmatch.com, along with blogs. I forget the screename. I will check it out for you guys and come out with the truth soon. Hope I will give you good news.

"But the people who are expressing that opinion? What are they doing?”
------------
did you read and understand that you maniston fans???

Oh, no. Her husband pasted? That must have hurt.

Moron. Who's calling her out on anything? Some yellow journal tabloids who will say any outrageous thing to make a buck? Some wacked out gossip sites that make up the most vile rumors and spread them wherever they go?

Go crawl back under your rock and take your agenda with you.

Exactly what does Jennifer Aniston have to do with this article? Angelina Jolie is being called out for her shady adoptions, setting up her children for publicity and her past interviews where she contradicts herself because can't remember what she says from one minute to the next. And if i were you, i would be taking everything that Marianne Pearl says with a grain of salt since she herself had an affair with a married man months after her husband pasted. And tried to make money off of her husband's death. Why do you think that this movie did not do what they thought that it was going to do?

wow!!!!!! All this for trying to do good in the world, and raise a decent family. Some folks just need to feel better than everyone else so they post venom anonymously. Perhaps if they too put accomplishments with their name, they also could be slandered by the public.

are we talking about the same woman here.
she discovered 'doing good' looked good for her and then she became as addicted to this as she has done to every other feeble coping mechanism she has employed in her gilted and over-priviledged life.
I can't see the decent family she has raised but i do see a rag tag of not orphans -they ALL have mothers-bought hastily from foreign adoption agencies and sold to the highest bidder in order to fund lady bountiful's latest addiction- her self moulded image as earth mother.
Believe what you want about this woman but stop crediting people with brains who read around the tabs as being as ignorant and gullible as yourself.
Nobody saw AMH because she, as a professional actress over-shadowed it's important themes with her crass self publicising and ironic ban of the press- you like to talk in the bath do you- what does this have to do with a journalist being beheaded??
MP as a previous poster put snagged a 16yr married man and wrecked his marriage within a year of her husbands sad death- she also requested funds from 911 monies- was the book and film deal from plan B not enough!!-greedy cow.
people used their eyes , their ears and their brains , formed an opinion of her and voted with their feet.Are they all stupid or might they have seen something you were too invested in an image to see yourself.
the only awards she will get are the ones she can pay for- didn't brad getting boo-ed at venice teach this dumbo pair anything about humility.

I find it amusing that someone who claims to be of superior intelligence to those who defend Angelina Jolie is posting on an internet site, in poorly constructed sentences one might add, called 'showbizspy'. As someone with an impartial point of view on Jolie, even I find your reasons for attacking her unsatisfactorily founded.
I can’t see anything in her charity work that indicates it stemming purely from a need for attention. And if she allows the media to investigate it, this is likely because Jolie wants merely to draw attention to such world issues- much as Lady Diana did, a woman who had film crews trailing after her into every hospital and mine field she visited.
Also, I don’t think it’s of real relevance that Marianne Pearl had an affair with a married man. I don’t like that about her, but it’s been done by most of the people we want to think good of- notably Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly (who had an affair with her best friend’s husband for god’s sake).
It’s pretty desperate that you’re resorting to calling Jolie out for admitting to talking with Brad Pitt whilst bathing. I don’t for a moment believe that you’re stupid enough not to understand that the magazines ask the questions, fabricate, and decontextualise. I’ve seen a fair number of interviews concerning “A Mighty Heart” in which Jolie talks intelligently (as intelligently as one can expect from a celebrity, that is to say) of Daniel Pearl and the film’s intention.
As for the UN sexual misconduct claims and your coupling Angelina Jolie to it, I think it wise to provide any possible links to such serious allegations- so as to give her admirers a chance for rebuttal.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A30286-2005Mar12.html
There; a somewhat respectable site that will give you information on the many different claims to sexual misconduct in the UN- involving more than one gentleman- and no mention of Jolie. To which I will further add that no one can possibly be ridiculous enough to think that people are appointed Goodwill Ambassadors without it being agreed to by several persons.

ok - you wanted a link to the article in which Lubbers- Un high comisioner for refugees 2001 -2005 was implicated in groping miss jolie
here you go
http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/the-lies-from-within/2007/10/05/1191091...

to quote-
But it was his divisions's investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by Ruud Lubbers, the UN's High Commissioner for Refugees, which encapsulated all that was wrong with the UN. For the first time, Montil gives an insider's perspective of the matter that attracted world-wide headlines when the scandal broke in 2004.
THE ALLEGATIONS

- Kofi Annan appointed UN secretary-general despite presiding over two genocides.

- American film star Angelina Jolie is inappropriately touched by the UN refugee chief.

and later in the same article

Perhaps the most astonishing revelation to emerge during the investigation was an allegation that Lubbers had also groped American movie star Angelina Jolie, who had been appointed as a UN goodwill ambassador by Lubbers in a ceremony in Geneva in 2001.

Staff who witnessed the incident told investigators that minutes before coming down in the lift to be introduced to staff in the building's Geneva headquarters, Lubbers had grabbed Jolie from behind. The incident was followed up by Jolie's UN minder who contacted her about whether she wished to make a statement to investigators. They were informed, through her minder, that she did not. Jolie's agent did not reply to the Herald's email seeking verification of the incident.

Google jolie's book-notes from my travels-on amazon- and see the glowing forward this alleged groper wrote about her - this was done in 2003.

If he didn't grope her then where was her loyalty and defence for this man who appointed her to her position of UN goodwill ambassador when he was accused of sexual harassment in what he described as a 'smear' campaign.
and if he did grope her then why didn't she use her position - as she so loves to do - to speak out against his inappropriate behaviour . she was not salaried by the UN- she wasn't going to lose her livelihood by protesting .
Some role model of modern day independent gracious woman- i think not.

you can slag off people's 'poorly' written opinions all you like and question the intelligence of others for their presumptions re- appointing UN ambassadors- you can provide the link for your opinions re the logistics of this if you can- somehow i doubt that from this corrupt and self serving organistion you will find any vestige of truth - but good luck.
there's your link- make your on mind up-i did.

ps- i find that those who need to feel and sound superior rarely are.
