| Angelina Jolie asks Obama to do more for Sudanese people - Joy Online Posted: 13 Dec 2009 06:17 AM PST
Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie wants President Obama's administration to take greater steps towards establishing peace in Sudan. Jolie, in her role as the co-chair of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, wrote an op-ed piece for Newsweek magazine on Thursday, the day Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize. Jolie wrote that Obama's administration has not yet announced any serious moves to bring corrupt Sudanese leaders to justice and said she is worried that the administration does not have a clear enough plan to improve the lives of the Sudanese people. "I believe President Obama and his special envoy Scott Gration will do their best to bring peace to the region," Jolie, a U.N. goodwill ambassador, wrote. "Their policy, though, raises a number of questions. How is the Obama administration's approach to Sudan an evolution of justice? In addition, when the administration says it intends to work to 'improve the lives of the people of Darfur,' I would like to know what that means, besides the obvious point that their lives could hardly get worse." In the piece, headlined "Justice Delayed Is Not Justice Denied," "This means bringing all permanent members of the U.N. Security Council on board to send the message that the international community will not tolerate mass atrocities," Jolie wrote. She added, "I also hope we will act sooner and more powerfully to prevent future atrocities," and suggested the administration looks to a Council on Foreign Relations report funded by the Jolie-Pitt The actress and her partner Brad Pitt, who together have six children, created the Jolie-Pitt Foundation in 2006 and have used it to donate to a variety of humanitarian causes and to fund research.

| Angelina Jolie To Replace Charlize Theron As Big Screen ‘Tourist’? - Access Hollywood Posted: 10 Dec 2009 05:19 PM PST LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Charlize Theron has decided not to go globetrotting as "The Tourist" – and Angelina Jolie might step in to replace her. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Charlize has backed out of the big screen thriller after being attached to the project for quite some time. As a result, Angelina is now reportedly in talks with the studio to replace her. "The Tourist" – a remake of the 2005 French thriller "Anthony Zimmer" – follows an American tourist traveling abroad who is seduced by a beautiful woman and becomes caught in an international plot involving Interpol and the Russian mafia who both mistake him for a criminal mastermind. "Terminator: Salvation" and "Avatar" star Sam Worthington is lined up to play the male lead. No reason for Charlize's departure from the film was reported. Shooting is slated to begin in early 2010. The South African-born beauty will next be seen on the big screen in the post-apocalyptic drama "The Road," opposite Viggo Mortensen. She also lends her voice to the upcoming animated feature "Astro Boy," which hits theaters on October 23. Meanwhile, Angelina recently wrapped production on the spy thriller "Salt," which is slated for a July 2010 release. Copyright 2009 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved.

| Megan Fox: ‘I’m Not A Tigress Like Angelina’ Jolie - Access Hollywood Posted: 10 Dec 2009 05:19 PM PST NEW YORK, New York -- Megan Fox may be an action star, a brunette beauty with striking blue eyes and an actress that the men's magazines go ga-ga over, but she doesn't think she has much in common with another actress with a strikingly similar past pedigree. "People compare me to Angelina Jolie, and she's so serious and stoic," Megan told the New York Times Magazine. "I'm the opposite. When I do interviews, I say things that I think are hysterical. But because we live in a world of sound bites, you're not allowed to have a sense of humor. Sarcasm doesn't translate in print at all. And neither does self-deprecating humor. I'm not a tigress like Angelina. Of course, people want me to be. But I want to be the contradiction of that." While the "Transformers" franchise actress has offered plenty of quotes that would indicate she is in fact a "tigress," like once saying she would "eat" Zac Efron, the actress said sometimes the Megan people read about, is actually someone else entirely. "When I sit down to talk to men's magazines, there's a certain character that I play," she told the mag. "She's not fully fleshed out — she doesn't have her own name — but she shows up to do men's magazine interviews. There's something so ridiculous about always being in your underwear in those magazines, and you know the interview is going to run opposite those pictures. So, there's a character that talks to all of them." Megan said she also isn't the woman described in the anonymous "Transformers" crew letter, which surfaced after she compared director Michael Bay to "Hitler" in an interview, and which suggested she was "thankless, classless, graceless" and an "unfriendly b****." "I know that the things they said about me in the crew letter were not true, but Bay is not happy with some of the things I've said about him," Megan said. "I was waiting for someone to defend me, to say, 'That's not accurate,' but nobody did. I think it's because I'm a girl. They left me out there to be bludgeoned to death." Some of the comments that have got Megan headlines and into hot water have actually prompted the actress to consider heading online to sort things out. "Sometimes I so desperately want to clarify. I recently had an urge to get a Twitter account to explain myself. But me contradicting a news story is not going to make my words fact. It will just create a new news story," she said. "There's no solving this: it's completely its own monster. You have to come up with clever ways of getting your control back." And the actress is smart enough to know that if she had not made some of the comments she did over the years, that she wouldn't be getting the attention or roles she's getting now. "If I had been a typical starlet and said all the right things, I wouldn't have escalated to this level," she said. "I sit down and do an interview and I talk like a person and that, for some reason, is shocking. All women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. You're sold, and it's based on sex. That's O.K., if you know how to use it. "It's been a crazy year," she continued. "I've learned that being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb. At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they put you on, they're going to tear you down. And I created a character as an offering for the sacrifice. I'm not willing to give my true self up. It's a testament to my real personality that I would go so far as to make up another personality to give to the world. The reality is, I'm hidden amongst all the insanity. Nobody can find me." Copyright 2009 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved. Keep your Access to everything in Hollywood!

| Angelina Jolie Has Secret Family - Newser Posted: 08 Dec 2009 12:06 PM PST (Newser) – If Angelina Jolie does in fact adopt another kid with Brad Pitt, it won't exactly be her seventh—she already has seven "children" in Jordan she's kept secret since 2003. The "secret family," as the National Enquirer oh-so-sensationally dubs it, is actually a group of orphans living with a surrogate mother at a children's village; Jolie pays to support them and "considers the orphans as her own family," a source tells the tab.
"If this story resembles the truth even slightly, then it's definitely more like 'Angelina Jolie donated a bunch of money and these seven kids won't die now, so they like her,'" notes Azaria Jagger on Gawker, "but yada yada, let's get to the good stuff: If she has a second family in the Middle East, then surely she is cheating on Brad with...a Jordanian prince? An Arab sheikh? A Yemeni terrorist?" fivefilters.org featured article: Normalising the crime of the century by John Pilger |
