Thank you Angelina Jolie

<snip>
In an interview with CNN, Jolie called for more to be done to help Iraqi families driven from their homes.

"There are over two million displaced people and there never seems to be a real coherent plan to help them," she told CNN.

"Of the two million internally displaced, it's estimated 58% are under 12 years old. It's a very high number of people in a very, very vulnerable situation and a lot of young kids."

In August 2007, she met some of the 1,200 Iraqis stranded on the border between Iraq and Syria and appealed for more international support for those affected by the Iraq conflict.

2. Someone needs to do something. I wish our candidates
would address this. I am now in love with Angelina Jolie, when I used to not care for her very much. After the work she has done to raise awareness from the orphans in Africa to the abandoned in New Orleans, to the dislocated Iraqis, she has championed the poor, disabled, dislocated and disadvantaged and raised awareness because of her name and compassion.

Thank you Angelina Jolie. Stay safe.

16. Your really gonna love her after you read this:


snip>>>

Angelina was all talk when it came to discussing Baghdad, but when the interviewer asked her about the pregnancy reports in Hollywood, Jolie quickly interrupted her question with, "Oh, don't. Stop it. Stay true to your tradition. You're CNN. Don't do it!"

When the reporter mentioned she just had to ask, Jolie responded with "But I don't have to answer. OK?"

And the interview ended shortly after that.

20. Maybe someone should start a rumour that Brad had a vasectomy.
Then when he's giving interviews, the reporter will just "have to ask" about that.

14. Most women I know despise Angelina Jolie but I have
always admired her for her goodwill work even before she was with Brad. Angelina is a strong, intelligent, gorgeous woman and kudos to her for what she's done with her fame and fortune.

Women are so cynical of her because she "stole Brad" and it's ridiculous. Maybe she and Brad are a better match? Brad wanted children and Jen didn't. Personally I think that Brad and Angie together are a phenomenal couple who actually give a shit about life outside of Hollywood. They are trying to make a difference.

Where the hell is Tom Cruise w/ all his money? Don't see him out in New Orleans or India, whatever trying to help make a difference.

18. What?
What women are you talking about, 'cause all the ones I know would like to get nekked in a hot tub with her (self included). :rofl:

LOL at "where's Tom Cruise", too. The Littlest Clam is too busy saving the world from Xenu to give a shit about the unwashed unclears.

19. So true!
Most of the women I work with are 40 and over ( I'm the youngest) and they call Angelina a husband stealer. They also to my utter astonishment think she's ugly. LOL! They don't get it. Angelina has IT- men know it and so don't most astute women. My co-workers are a bunch of clueless clowns.

For the record, I too would get nekked w/ Angie! LOL!

21. Hurray for Angelina Jolie
Talent, ambition, nobility and decency.

Such are things that make the beauty of the soul shine.

And what a beauty they shine through.

Bravo Dear Lady, Bravo.
