Angelina's Still Trying To Save The World

Angelina Jolie AngelinaWritesIraq.jpg

Sometimes it's admittedly hard to ignore Angelina Jolie's good deeds.

Angie wrote an op-ed piece for the Washington Post, entitled "Staying to Help in Iraq," where she reveals how her visit has "left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis."

She goes on to discuss the "potential consequences for our national security" if the humanitarian crisis is not solved, as well as the troops' investment in Iraq, saying: "They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible."

It's always positive to bring more attention to such a serious issue...

Jen's gonna have to step it up if she wants to compete with this!



What do you think of Angelina's goodwill efforts?

Is she really helping the matter with her celebrity power, or would things be the same without her?

A wonderful woman



Posted by: Perez is a sick fag

Smoke and mirrors on her part...what is she really doing other than giving herself free publicity?

one another juicy bit, read what a scumbag Perezhilton is.

February 28, 2008 -- MARIO Lavandeira - better known as online gossip "Perez Hilton" - encouraged a handsome young blogger to send sex tapes of himself while he was making promises of promotion for the blogger's own fledgling Web site.

Jonathan Jaxson - a former publicist and founder of gossip site JJ's Dirt - told Page Six he sent Lavandeira sexually explicit videos of himself with the hope of Lavandeira's help, which never materialized.

"He would tell me he would give me stories for my blog," Jaxson, 24, said of Lavandeira, 29. "He used me."

We've obtained pages of lengthy AOL Instant-Messenger chats between Jaxson and "Perez Hilton," who has risen to fame with his Web site, where he doodles on photos of celebrities accompanied by scathing insults.

The New York Times ran a gushing puff piece on "Perez" Tuesday, reporting he gets 2.8 million visitors a month and is in talks with Warner Music for his own label because he has such a great ear for new music.

In an exchange from Sept. 1, 2007, Lavandeira told Jaxson, "you should totally make a sex tape . . . (but not with me)." Jaxson wrote back, "I will have to make one on here for you tomorrow and e-mail it to you." Lavandeira responded, "Hot! Do it now!"

The next afternoon, Lavandeira asked Jaxson, "When are you sending me that video you promised?" Jaxson responded, "If you do a phone blog with me for my blog . . . as if I am cold calling you in attempt to get advice for my blog. You can be totally rude. I don't want others to know we talk."

The next day, Lavandeira asked again, "Where is that video?"

Jaxson told Page Six he sent Lavandeira videos of himself masturbating and other forms of "sex videos," but said he only met Lavandeira in person three times - once in Florida and twice in New York.

"I fell in love with Perez. I thought he had a huge heart . . . but he's just a [bleep]hole," Jaxson told us. "We started working together and communicating on how to make my blog bigger. Then it got more personal and intimate."

Lavendeira had no comment.

Hey, if we cared about Perez we would go to his website. And guess what? We don't care.

If the world needs Angelina Jolie to save it, then the world is coming to an end. She serves knowone but herself.

SHE IS SO EFFIN HOT IT AIN'T EVEN FUNNY

OHHHH X17! Get over yourselves! There is no war with Angelina and Jennifer. They have both moved on. I sure as hell wish you would! I am so sick of hearing about angie and jen angie and jen. Jesus!!!! Give it a rest will you?!



Posted by: anonymous

When the President and the conservatives say we need to stay and finish helping Iraq, they are vilified...along comes Skanalina Jolie with her 2 cents trying to get more attention and instantly...hey...it's okay, we need to stay in Iraq. What hypocrisy!We need to continue on and finish the job correctly it's true, but NOT because this skank says so...

I think she should quit preaching and trying to be the new Mother Theresa and take care of her kids, which should be her first priority.

As if.

I love Angelina.

So hot!

Jen compete?? HAAAA ya she did a great job keeping Brad happy!!!

You are not doing jennifer any favors by mentioning her every time you post angie news.

Aniston won't have much of a career if she keeps this up.

her arms are hairy. gross

So, now, let me get this. Angelina is FOR CONTINUING THE WAR IN IRAQ. Huh? Hasn't she bashed the US Government for this very thing? Huh? Hey bimbo - this is what our President said a long time ago - and Congress didn't buy it. I resent to Hell your leaching PR off the men and women serving in Iraq. You are pathetic.

wonder who her "political advisor" is? you know there's someone telling her what to say.

if you look at the arm with the tats by itself, it looks like it belongs to some heroin junky living on the streets. NASTY!



Posted by: faye

The haters are just jealous idiots and are usual Aniston fans as shallow as their idol. I hope x17 and other bloggers stop mentioning Aniston's name in every angelina thread, Angelina doesnt deserve to be equated with her, she is far more relevant and substantive than Aniston and other HW actresses, will ever be.



Posted by: anonymous

I am so glad Brads' ex has never attempted to compete in the save the world campaign that Angelina is involved in.

Aniston continues to live her life they way she wants to. Brad may not have liked her life, but, she does. I am proud of any woman who doesn't change herself for a man. In the end you eventually get tired of denying your true self just for love. It never lasts.

I hope Jolie has not compromised herself and her beliefs in any way to get and keep Brad.



Posted by: What is the average IQ here - 3?

You are all so nasty and horrible to someone who is actually doing something to make things better for people that don't have a voice. Not for herself! She is pregnant & has children at home, yet she goes over there to help, putting herself in danger to help others.
What are YOUR fat asses doing besides sitting there and bitching? !!!
You should be ashamed of yourselves!
And if you're all here being total assholes because you love Jen...be advised, she is not doing anything for anyone but herself - and never has.
Brad left her for someone that actually has a heart!

I do not think it is appropriate for angelina to dictate whether my son should stay in Iraq to support her cause. Oh yeah…these are just “details”.
I recommend she should stay in Iraq to support her own cause. The U.N department she works with did not sanction, need, or even know she was going to Iraq at the time.
Also, she did not respond to the Phillipine refugees who called on her for her help, of course, they not as “Hot” as Iraqi refugees right now.
If she really wants to effect change, take some notes from Oprah and learn from her African School for Girls project. It is work like this that can and does really make a difference.
But hey, at least she got to talk to “top American and Iraqi” officials. That helps her increase her own political and business power so I guess all is well in Angelina land.
It is clear I am not buying what she is peddling.

Here is another bit of irony. Jolie has sided with the neocons in order to increase her influence, but she doesn't seem to realize that the neoconservative movement is dying! Republicans are already a minority in Congress, and they are expected to lose even more seats in November. That is because the morally and fiscally bankrupt neocon ideology has infected the Republican Party, and the voters are throwing these people out of office as fast as they can. This is funny as hell.
Then again, what could she do. She was REJECTED BY OBAMA!

Has anybody realised that Jennifer Aniston has moved on with her life?. The woman has apparently had a lot of dick since Brad left her. Does this sound like a woman pining for a man?.

I would really like you people to get over it. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have moved on with their lives. Can't we just end this S#!^?.

If someboby criticizes Jolie it doesn't mean they are Aniston fans. It means that they don't like Jolie and probably never did. There are people in this world who can't stand to watch her act and have never been able to sit through one of her movies. Some of these people also feel the same about Aniston.

I don't understand this rabid hate that continues three years later. Enough already. So what if Aniston let a good man go. Why would someone allow a good relationship to end?. Maybe it wasn't so good after all. We don't know the true selves of these entertainers. It's time to let this nonsense go. Enough already.

Her article is a crappy piece of hypocrisy for a number of reasons. First, it is simply a propaganda piece designed to finagle EVEN MORE MONEY from the U.S. for the U.N., not support the surge. Second, it was the rolling up of the welcome mat by Syria and Jordan, combined with the security provided by the U.S. military, that is making the refugee situation better, despite her claim that there is no improvement. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT THE U.N. IS PROVIDING ANY VALUE ADDED WHATSOEVER TO THE REFUGEE SITUATION, YET SHE GREEDILY DEMANDS EVEN MORE MONEY FROM U.S. TAXPAYERS - $261 MILLION TO BE EXACT. All this while Brangelina owns three homes in California worth a total of $15 million, a house in New Orleans worth $3.5, and they rent out New York digs for $100,000 a month. They are awful generous with other people's money, aren't they?

Second, if everyone has a "moral obligation" to aid the refugees, and if "the whole region" is at stake, then why is she giving Syria and Jordan a free pass? If it is everyone's moral obligation to take in refugees, then they should be reprimanded, not excused, for not finding a way to assimilate Iraqis. More hypocrisy.

But then, I really shouldn't call it her article, now should I? It was ghost written, and we all know it. Go home and raise your kids, you stupid, worthless actress.

Who gives a crap about what Angelina thinks about the war? Instead of praising celebrities, WE THE PEOPLE need to think of how to impeach Bush and Cheney before they do any more harm to this country? Their war based on lies has destroyed too many American lives and it is truly criminal how they have treated the returning soldiers who have been wounded!! I hope they rot in hell for the evil they have done!

This woman has NO style or sense of fashion. She proudly wears out of date clothing thinking she is making some type of statement. She is only stating that she has NO style and bad taste. Also, if she is such a political icon then she needs to get on some political pundit shows and SPEAK and CONVINCE the American public of her convictions. But she doesn't. Why? Because she is a poseur afraid to be outed.



Posted by: Anonymous

why should we listen to her? it's hard to take her seriously when she continues to act in bad movies. it taints her humanitarian work. seriously, she should either just write a check and shut the hell up or join the Peace Corps and do some real work (like I did!)--pick one and give us a break!

No matter how much good she does I still cant ever get that image out of my head of her making out with her creepy brother on the red carpet. Oh, and then another time she let us know she fucked Billy Bob in the limo on the way to the red carpet, pretty classy lady!

Bless Angelina! and whatever.



Posted by: Jake

Just maybe she needs to look around in
America. Housing is in a real slump, lots are homeless, there are less jobs
every day that pay enough to live on.
She spends enough on her running around
she could feed a lot of people. I feel
sorry for them but does she really make
any difference. The more she talks, the
less I would even consider it. I think
the war should end, the men and women
come home. She's a actress that wants
to look important and be in the papers
every day. I donate to causes all the
time in this country and I think St.
Jude, Operation Smile, Cancer, Heart
Funds, Soup Kitchens and dozens of others are very important. America
has to stay strong to help anyone and
right now things aren't so good. If that
is selfish so be it. How many can live
the same life style in America that they
could just a couple years ago? What are
you hoping for your kids?



Posted by: jts

When is she going to stay over there and
take care of the people? She flys in and
out for a day and comes back to her huge
house and tells us to give more money.
She has enough she could do a lot for
them. My son is there and I can't wait
for him to come home. She can trade
places with him.

I think that Angelina is a wonderful person for standing up for what she belives in. Not only standing up for it but putting the money where her mouth is and not just sitting on her butt waiting for someone else to do it for her. She is just one person though and I hope that the work she does others will follow. Not just our country but all countrys that can contribute.
Keep up the good work Angie!!

A Fuckin Attention Whore.



Posted by: pure orthodox

Didn`t Julia Roberts steal another woman`s husband as well? But nobody throws stones at her, so it must have been love and a bad previous marriage. Give the credit to this couple as well, don`t have double standards! Some people obviously misunderstood Jolie`s efforts and call to stay in Iraq. She didn`t mean the US army, the world is tired of the USA playing the world-cop. What she meant were the UN and other humanitarians, read the whole article before making comments. one person can not save the world, nor can she help everybody. But at least she is giving it a try. Did you know that there was a scandal of child-molestation at Oprah`s school? Excellent idea, but even Oprah can not trust everybody and let them work with children. Things like that should never happen. I think that Anniston has other interests, so the call for competition is ridiculous.

she is a hypocritical attention whore. maybe, she should go and spend some real time in iraq if she cares so much...but she won't....because she doesn't. she "calls on the presidential candidates"????? who the fuck does she think she is????? bitch needs to get a reality check and understand that she is a shitty actress with the intelligence and true moral fiber of a common street prostitute. she calls helping the people in irag our "moral obligation"????? yeeeeaaaaahhhh, and she is the person to talk about morals? and rebuilding relationships??? please, she can't even repair the one she has with her father....but she wants to fix relations between two countries???? is she on drugs or just completely self deluded? seriously?

4:37,
Julia Roberts is also a homewrecking whore as well as the shit bg pussy whipped camera man she married. Don't worry people recognize that she is as much a whore as Angelina is. They should both have rocks thrown at them. They are both trash.

Posted by: marie france

Angelina Jolie is a mighty hypocrite. She doesn't care for the soldiers, she doesn't care if they are going to die in Iraq. She is there for her own publicity and is just representing those who make money in Iraq and therefore want to stay there as long as possible. Does she not know the reason why there are so many refugees? War is the reason, Miss Jolie! And you are promoting war! Is she really that stupid? Don't trust this evil woman, she is a puppet and does what others tell her to do. Angelina Jolie went there for selfish reasons, and the article has probably been wirtten by her "political advisor".

If Angie wants to help why not turn her lame attention to the problems here in the US. I'm so tired of this twit.

9:23 like i said before america is the land of oppurtunity get off of ur fat ass and do something and leave angelina alone



Posted by: Alix

It's easy to say send troops here, there, when the troops are not your family members; we're talking about American men and women across the world in a country that was torn apart before we got there, and now we're closing in on 4,000 Americans DEAD... and for what!
