What am I doing? I'm trying to game Google, of course. I should probably mention Barclays, Goldman Sachs and AIG as well, but I don't know if they'd really help me. Those names don't appear on Google Trends, which is a site Google created to allow people to track what search terms are most popular and what search terms are growing each day. The four non-sequitars above were the top four "hot" topics on Google Trends when I sat down to write this.

I threw their names at the top of my story and in my headline because I was hoping they'd provide a traffic-trap leading wayward web searchers to my blog. I'm also saving this post as I go along, rather than waiting until it's finished to post. Why? Because those hot trends could fall out of favor by the time I'm done with this thing and then what good are they? Of course, a natural follow up to that question: Even if they do bring me page views, what good are those page views anyway?

I've often thought that getting people to visit my website under any auspice is similar to trying to get the attention of a girl I have a crush on. "I may not be the best looking person," I'd think, "but if only she spent 10 minutes with me, Iknow she'd fall in love." Likewise, I may not have a bunch of readers, but if only people would read one or two of my posts, they'd know how smart and witty I am. Well, I don't actually feel that way, and I don't expect anyone else to feel that way after reading most of the stuff on this blog.

However.

Most news organizations do feel this way now. Google–and I suppose indirectly, the public–drive the news cycle in a vicious way. Many news organizations want people to enter their site through Google, which is the side door. From there they hopefully go through the front door to see what else is on the site. And if it's good enough, hopefully the wayward soul who landed at the site will come back for more in the future. The next time, they'll use the front door.

Depending on who is reading this, you might be saying, duh–so what? or you might be saying, really? If you are in the latter camp, you're in trouble, because it appears as though this Google gaming is the future of news. First thing in the morning many bloggers look at Google Trends and try to figure out how to capture a slice of the action, because without a brand name, the quickest way to build their company is through Google's crumbs.

For those saying, so what? I agree. Let's game the system for all it's worth and get page views. Maybe someone will get to know us and fall in love.

In case you're still reading this–and kudos to you, if you are, don't you think I desperately need an editor?–you'll be happy to know, I've already had 35 48 people click on this post, probably driven by my subject line. That almost matches blows away the highest amount of page views I had for the week, which was 38.

Brad and Angelina's New Home in Berlin

Posted on: September 28th, 2008 by: Andrea

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are on the move again, this time taking up residence in a 30,000 square foot villa on the outskirts of Berlin, Germany.

The entire Jolie-Pitt brood, who most recently resided at the swanky Chateau Miraval in in the South of France, arrived at the Tempelhof airport in Berlin by private plane on Tuesday afternoon and headed to their new digs - the Palais Parkschloss on the shores of Wannsee Lake.

The residence includes a helicopter landing pad, private dock and a full security system. A staff of 14 bodyguards, personal chefs and nannies are also part of the package.

Brad is in Germany to work on Quentin Tarrantino's movie Inglorious Bastards, which begins filming in three weeks.

W Magazine Features Angelina Jolie Breastfeeding Photos

Angelina Jolie graces the cover of W Magazine in a series of photos that were taken by her partner Brad Pitt. The pictures were captured in France, where the couple has been sequestered before and after the birth of their twins, Knox and Vivienne. The issue will contain exclusive private photos of the 33 year old actress.

Angelina told W Magazine: "I do think I'm in a good partnership now….I think it just needed to be the right man. It's not just that I love being in Brad's company, which obviously I do, but it's that we both roll up our sleeves and take on what we care about in the same way. I have alot of respect for him, and he helps me to be better and take on what we care about in the same way."

The photos were taken in the backyard of the Chateau Miraval in mid August. WMagazine's November 2008 issue hits newsstands on October 21.

Just when they had us believing they went to the French Riviera to be in seclusion and away from prying eyes, they open up their most intimate moments for the world to view. Amazing.

We've got photos from the Changeling red carpet.

Here are photos of Angelina with the kids in NYC earlier this week.

Check out the W cover photo below and a photo of Brad and Angie with the twins.

Angelina Jolie makes action movies for her kids

Categories: Money & work, Fun & activities, Life & style, Celeb parenting, Rumors,Playground bureau, Childcare, Environment, Media, That's entertainment

Actress and sometime do-gooder Angelina Jolie claims she makes action movies for her children. I'm not sure who got her to come out of her shell long enough to hear this information--Jolie has been tucked away safely since the birth of her twins Vivienne and Knox--but perhaps this is old info just now being issued to keep us satisfied while we await her return to the media frenzy that is her life.

According to Jolie, she wants her kids to be able to see the films and be proud of her. I'm not sure how proud anyone would be of efforts likeTombraider 2, but hey, Jolie claims to also do all her own stunts--that would be pretty rockin' if it's fact. Jolie says she does that to prove to her children they can do anything to which they set their minds. Fair enough.

The star should be more proud of her philanthropic ways, which I am also sure she hopes to pass on to her kids. Learn by example, right? If that's true then there should be six more philanthropists among the Jolie-Pitt clan to carry on the work of Ange and Brad Pitt. Either that or they'll all want to appear in remakes of their parents' films!

Actress Angelina Jolie's Twins Conceived Through In Vitro!

Actress Angelina Jolie's Twins Conceived Through In Vitro!
THURSDAY JULY 24, 2008

Buzz up!

Forget Mother Nature Us Weekly reports in its new issue, on newsstands now, that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt turned to fertility treatments to quickly conceive twins Knox and Vivienne.

"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a well-placed source within their camp tells Us. "They both desperately wanted more babies soon."

The chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina's age (33) naturally is under 1 percent; with in vitro, the chances are 25 percent. Says Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.'s Reproductive Medical Group (who did not treat the couple), "We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits."

See photos of Angelina Jolie's pregnant with the twins.

The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source tells Us. "She could just knock it out."

Indeed, Jolie has spoken about her goal to do just that.

"If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young," she told Elle U.K. last year. Brad Pitt turns 45 on December 18.

A source adds: "They were too impatient."

Knox and Vivienne born in Nice, France on July 12 join the couple's adopted brood of Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2.

See photos of Angelina Jolie and her children.

Check out the new issue of Us Weekly, available now, for the complete story on why Brad pushed Angelina for biological kids, who inspired her to choose pregnancy over adoption this time around, and how they plan to raise their six young children.

Angelina Jolie Interested In Catwoman Role For Batman Movie

Angelina Jolie Interested In Catwoman Role For Batman Movie

July 28, 2008

Angelina Jolie has been tipped to play Catwoman in a future Batman movie - by the actress who made the role famous, Julie Newmar.

Newmar, 74, prowled across the small screen, playing the feline villain in the 1960s Batman television series. She recently revealed she would love Jolie to take on the role - if The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan decides to resurrect the character in a future sequel.

Newmar tells the New York Daily New:

"Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman's one true love. She's tremendously popular with women because she's both a heroine and a villainess."

Since Newmar, the Catwoman role has been played by Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Holy lifelike! I mean, this man is an artist. Check out the hand painted replicaNoel Cruz made of Angelina Jolie.

The artist didn't mold the doll, he just "removed the factory paint" and recreated the image of Angie. Absolutely amazing.

What do you think? Does the doll do the celeb justice? I want to see him make more! Make Brad Pitt as Ken next Noel!! Mattel should hire this guy today.

Breastfeed Twins like Angelina Jolie: Secrets to Double the Reward in Half the Time!

2008-10-03T07:30:00.001-07:00

Breastfeed Twins like Angelina Jolie: Secrets to Double the Reward in Half the Time!

TAGS: BREASTFEEDING

In their 3-week-old fraternal twins' debut in the latest issue of PEOPLE,Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt spoke about how breastfeeding both babies at the same time plays a part in managing the chaos. Angelina said, "They eat every three hours and I'm getting better at holding them both for [breast]feeding at the same time, so that helps. Usually, the other kids come in and hold them when they finish. They help with the baths and the changing." Brad added, "We try to get them to eat simultaneously for the sake of management, but it gets a little crowded at the bar!"

Angelina and Brad make nursing twins sound effortless (granted, Angelina had a head start by nursing Shiloh) but chances are, they prepared in advance, got help from a certified lactation consultant, and were motivated and psyched to succeed.

Here's the good news: "Your body is designed to handle breastfeeding twins or even triplets, many moms have done it successfully," Bettina Forbes, CLC, of Best for Babes told us. Her co-founderDanielle Rigg, JD, CLC, added, "and with the right help and support, you can reap double the rewards and might even have double the fun."

In honor of World Breastfeeding Week and supporting women who want to breastfeed, we also spoke to Jack Newman, MD, FRCPC, founder of the Newman Breastfeeding Clinic and Institute,Lawrence Gartner, MD, Professor of Pediatrics and Obstetrics/Gynecology at the University of Chicago, founding member of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, and member of the LLLI Health Advisory Council, and Heather Kelly, MA, IBCLC, of the Manhattan Lactation Group.

Click Continue Reading for their best tips to succeed at breastfeeding twins.

Get inspired and get your best game on. Danielle, of Best for Babes, tells us, "Prepare for breastfeeding like you would to run a race, plan a wedding, or interview for a job; take a breastfeeding class, and find local resources like lactation consultants and support groups." Bettina adds, "Watch a friend breastfeed successfully to be truly awestruck. We know of newborn twins who held hands while nursing!"

You can breastfeed if you have a c-section. Dr. Newman told us, "Most mothers should be able to breastfeed their twins exclusively if they get off to a good start and get good support. Unfortunately, a good start and good support are not always easy to get in most hospitals and most mothers are failed in their attempts. Having had a cesarean section should not be an obstacle it is often presented to be - again, with a good start and good support."

Twins need breastmilk twice as much. "For twins, receiving the health and developmental benefits of breastfeeding are even more important, because they tend to be premature and, therefore, at higher risk of infections," says Dr. Gartner.

If necessary, pump it up. If, like Angelina, you had a c-section, and your milk hasn't come in yet, don't panic - pump! - because it signals your body to make milk. Heather says, "as long as you're pumping in lieu of a feeding at the breast, your milk supply won't be hurt."

It takes patience. Heather tells us, "Nursing twins can be extremely rewarding but may be a bit trickier and take a little longer to master. Because many twins are early or smaller, they may lack some stamina in the beginning. You can give yourself a break by with pumping and giving bottles of expressed breastmilk, particularly if you feel like the feedings are going on and on. Some moms even feed Twin A on both breasts at a feeding and then pump, while Twin B gets a previously pumped bottle of expressed breastmilk. Then, at the next feeding, the twins switch."

Dress the part. The first few months you're going to feel like you're feeding nonstop, so comfy, easily accessible clothes will make life easier. Well-fitted nursing bras (we hear Angelina's wearing Bravado's Body Silk Seamless nursing bra), nursing tanks to sleep in, and tops with easily accessible openings (like Angelina's button-front nightgown) will help.

Know your positions. As Angelina mentions, she feeds both babies at the same time, but Bettina says, "she probably started out one at a time to pay close attention to getting a good latch. She most likely accomplishes simultaneous feedings using a twin football hold (click for a photo), with the top of their heads nearly touching, curled around her, with her legs pointing toward her back."

Prepare for the road ahead. The more confident you are of your decision and your ability to breastfeed, the more likely you are to succeed.

Finally, be gentle with yourself and with other moms. Most breastfeeding problems can be easily prevented and solved. New moms don't need more pressure or more guilt!

Angelina Jolie Catwoman Rumors Emerge, The Dark Knight Continues to Roll at the Box Office

Crazy Rumors

Angelina Jolie Catwoman Rumors Emerge, The Dark Knight Continues to Roll at the Box Office

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 30, 2008

If you are a dedicated reader to this site, you will know that we love to start rumors in fact, we have been known to say just about anything in order to stir the pot. But some things, we just can't believe. Take this little rumor that has started courtesy of the folks over at IGN. Apparently Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the original Batman TV series, told the New York Daily News that she has knowledge that Angelina Jolie has inquired about playing Catwoman in the not yet announced third film in Christopher Nolan's series. Here is what she had to say, to be exact:

Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me [she] has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest.

Chances are that this is just another flat rumor that will not yield any sort of results, but it is worth a thought. Angelina Jolie in tight black spandex, adding a little sexiness to Chris Nolan's series, one that has had nothing of the sort thus far. Personally, I am all for anything that has Mrs. Pitt in a tight outfit beating ass. As well, should something like this ever works its way into a movie, I am sure that Christopher Nolan and crew would find a way to make it fit without cheesing it up.

In related news, The Dark Knight is still trucking along at the box office bringing in $333.9 million as of Tuesday's update. It is currently 16th all-time on the Domestic Box Office chart and still resides at #1 on the IMDB Top 250 Movies of All-Time chart with a 9.2/10 rating. I think it goes without saying that people are responding well to the film.

Your thoughts on the prospect of Angelina Jolie as Catwoman?

Angelina Jolie undecided on Presidential pick

2008-10-03T07:24:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie undecided on Presidential pick

One Hollywood star being hotly pursued not only by movie producers, but also by Presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama is Angelina Jolie.

Only, the new mom and United Nations goodwill ambassador has a message for both parties: Not so fast.

"I have not decided on a candidate," Jolie says in a statement provided by political adviser Trevor Neilson to Variety managing editor Ted Johnson, for the trade publication's Wilshire & Washington column.

"I am waiting to see the commitments they will make on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world," says Jolie, 33.

Considering her a standout among the undecided, Johnson points out that Jolie editorialized in The Washington Post in February, following her return from a U.N.-sponsored trip to Iraq, "My visit 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."

Jolie's bottom line which some viewed as more in keeping with the proposed stay-the-line policy of John McCain was to say, "What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made."

Additionally, Variety reports, in June Jolie told Entertainment Weekly that when she and Clint Eastwood (director of her upcoming The Changeling and a Republican) discuss politics, "Actually, we don't disagree as much as you'd think. I think people assume I'm a Democrat. But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama."

Angelina Jolie As Catwoman? Julie Newmar Says She'd Be Purr-fect

2008-10-03T07:07:00.000-07:00

Published by Josh Horowitz on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at 10:34 am.

There are a couple of reasons why I love this story in the New York Daily News about 60s Catwoman star Julie Newmar talking Angelina Jolie up to play the role in the next installment of Christopher Nolan franchise re-boot.

Let's take a look at the quote, shall we? "Angelina would own the part," said Newmar to the News. She continued, "My industry friends tell me [she] has made inquiries about the role." One can't quibble with the first part. In fact Jolie almost fits the role so well it's hard not to imagine that Nolan and company haven't put her on a short list somewhere.

Having said that my gut says Nolan would go for someone a little less obvious and movie star-y than Ms. Jolie. Just look at his track record when it comes to selecting actors to play iconic Bat-villains. There's nary an A-lister in his Joker, Two-Face, or Ra's a Ghul, or at least not one on the level of Jolie, who it could be argued is the most famous actress in the world at present.

Then there's my favorite part of the story, the part where Newmar says she's heard that Jolie has made inquiries from her "industry friends." Now I will be the last one to question the legendary Ms. Newmar's industry connections but does this strike anyone else as her probably quoting a friend she had a mimosa with over brunch last weekend?

But where she got the info is beside point. What do you think? Should Jolie play Catwoman? It's your turn to weigh in.

Angelina Jolie's Endorsement

2008-10-03T07:05:00.000-07:00

It may seem as if most entertainment industry figures are aligning with Barack Obama and just a few with John McCain, but there are still a handful of famous names who are still on the fence. And both campaigns are well aware of one star who stands out among the undecideds: Angelina Jolie.

Both campaigns have reached out to her, apparently to court her support. But in a statement to Variety provided by political adviser Trevor Neilson, Jolie says that she is waiting to make up her mind.

"I have not decided on a candidate," Jolie says, "I am waiting to see the commitments they will make on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world."

Unlike many other celebrity endorsements, Jolie's carries the weight and influence of her extensive humanitarian work around the world, as the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Her statement was an indication that she would be open to choosing a candidate.

That was in evidence earlier this year after her trip to Iraq, when she wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post, "Staying to Help in Iraq," in which she argued that the U.S. should step up financial and material assistance to Iraq --- not withdraw from its commitment in the region.

She wrote, "My visit 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.

"Today's humanitarian crisis in Iraq -- and the potential consequences for our national security -- are great. Can the United States afford to gamble that 4 million or more poor and displaced people, in the heart of Middle East, won't explode in violent desperation, sending the whole region into further disorder?"

"What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made."

She did, however, "call on each of the presidential candidates and congressional leaders to announce a comprehensive refugee plan with a specific timeline and budget as part of their Iraq strategy."

Her call for a continued U.S. presence left some conservative blogs buzzing that Jolie may in fact endorse McCain --- after some had just assumed that she would back Obama.

Jolie has said very little about the presidential race since.

In June, when Entertainment Weekly asked her whether she talked politics with Clint Eastwood, a longtime Republican, on the set of the upcoming movie, "The Changeling," she said, "Actually, we don't disagree as much as you'd think. I think people assume I'm a Democrat. But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama."

Jolie's father, Jon Voight, has endorsed McCain and recently wrote an op-ed for the Washington Times highly critical of Obama.

COMMENTS

Does Ms. Jolie have any idea what McCain would do to a woman's right to choose -- not to mention a whole host of other civil rights issues that would affect all of us -- should he become President...?

Does she not know that McCain has publicly endorsed the Bush administration's call to label some forms of birth control as abortion...?

McCain will wipe out decades of progress women have made should he be given the opportunity to make two Supreme Court appointments. I understand why world poverty is important to her, but is this not an important issue to Ms. Jolie, as well...? Women in the U.S. will be less likely to concern ourselves with the well-being of others worldwide if we have to go back to looking after our own.

McCain wants to stay in Iraq to win a war that he voted to start; not to help Iraqis. This should be obvious to Ms. Jolie. Please, think carefully about this choice.

Respectfully,

Lisa

PLEASSSE - enough Angelina Jolie for the century!!!! Who cares? The woman is a complete narcissist that distracts from her own misery by doing some really good things. May she keep her mouth shut and do any good -doing silently! I can't believe anyone cares who she would endorse

Posted by: donna | August 10, 2008 at 02:05 PM

The notion that Jolie's endorsement carries any weight whatsoever is utterly laughable. The only thing endorsing McCain will do for Jolie is make her look like a moron.

I can't believe anyone would care who anyone in Hollywood would endorse. Why is there an entire cottage industry surrounding what some starlet wore to the beach or when she will have her baby, or who is dating who? If you want to look for heroes and people to admire, look around in your own life.

Look what the endorsement from her crackpot Dad - Jon Voigt - did. It made him look like the nut he is. No one cares. Obama doesn't need Angelina, or any other celeb endorsement. Message to Angie: Stick to People Magazine photo spreads and keep your nose out of presidential politics. You're not that important. You're a freakin' actor.

Posted by: BD | August 10, 2008 at 02:22 PM

In Angelina still thinking about who she will endorse that means she is a Republican just like her father. It is possible that she knows Senator Obama is the right candidate for the causes she thinks she cares about and that is why she is confused. However; considering her lifelong lifestyle endorsement is not that important. Although I admire the work she is done over the last few years, I'm not convinced that she truly cares. In my opinion it is a game she is playing to get attention.

Posted by: DKLA | August 10, 2008 at 02:44 PM

I couldn't care less, personally, who Angelina endorses. But half of the country's (People-magazine-reading) population will. Sadly, that's the only reason this freakshow will even matter.

Reading over the previous comments I am force to think "So much for civil and constructive comments from the Obama camp."

Opponents are called "Narcissist", "Morons" and "Nuts". That's real helpful. Even those on the fence are ridiculed.

True, too much weight is being given to people who merely excel at pretending to be someone else (otherwise known as "acting" or "entertaining"), but AJ has actually done some constructive work and has visited several of the places others only pontificate about.

And regarding McCain's impact on women's rights - have you considered that over half of the aborted babies are female? How about their rights? And what would America's futire ability to suppor social security and other social programs look like if we had not murdered 40 million babies in the last 30+ years?

It sounds to me like AJ is excercising intelligence and thoughtfullness. Good for her.

McCain will wipe out decades of progress women have made

whimper, whine, snivel. decades of progress that women have made? killing unborn babies is progress?

can someone explain why you people have no problem killing defensive, helpless babies, but get all worked up if the military kill armed terrorists?

oh, never mind, i get it. it's about a women's right to choose. isn't that nice? but when a person in the military chooses to kill someone that wants to kill them, we need to cry foul. or as was the case with Jerk Murtha, he calls our soldiers "cold blooded murderers".

i'm curious, when you wacko feminazi's kill your unborn children, what was the temperature of their blood?

you libs are mental retards. plain and simple. why don't you guys go make sure your tire pressure is approved by the Messiah?

I cant stand McCain. He is a moron. I cant stand Obama, he has no more business running the country than I do. I have had it with Jolie. World humanitarian problems, are not my problem. My concern is my family, as it should be, and I sure as hell dont need McCain, Obama, or Jolie telling me that Im supposed to fork over more to help some distant humanitarian crisis. I have had enough of this nonsense! Enough!

Angelina is no more undecided than she is ugly. She is voiting McCain but won't say it. Her quote about Iraq is a dead giveaway.

In Hollywood people who vote republicans are blacklisted. She may be very famous, but a saying that you don't like Obama seems to be considered a career killer.

No one is undecided in this race they are just afraid to say that they won't vote for Obama. In all the election primaries with Hillary, the undecided overwhelmingly went against Obama. This election won't be any different.

I don't give a rat's behind who she endorses. Seriously, why is this even a serious question? If she can't decide, then she is more stupid than Paris Hilton who has at least put out a sensible energy plan.

Just who is suppose to stay over here, and clean up after this administration big lie for oil THAT RIGHT FOR OIL...I guess over 4000 troops lives sacrificed, lost homes, dwindling life saving, Now soldiers have to leave one war and go fight another while wondering who and what of thier lives have been effected...

Well instead of telling McCain and Obama, why not TELL MR BUSH AND HIS ADMINISTRATION, TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE HE MOVES INTO THAT NEW HOUSE WITH THE IRAQ OIL PUMPING OUT OF POCKET...

I agree this is a mess but I ask again how long are we to stay here, do we not have families, friends we might want to see or maybe just come home, WHAT ABOUT US! She must have forgot, where we are from.

I am surprised that McCain wants a celebrity to endorse him especially as he branded Obama as 'celebrity'. McCain is really disfunctional.

As much as I respect Ms. Jolie's beauty and humanitarian work I'd be surprised if her endorsement swayed many voters. Certainly it would excite some base voters but they already are base voters. Are independents really sitting on the fence waiting for her endorsement? Doubtful.

Posted by: carsick | August 10, 2008 at 03:32 PM

Is she uses this election to focus all her attention on Iraq (a place I want the U.S. out of) I will no longer view her the same way. In other words I will lose a great deal of respect for her. Instantly.

Posted by: Maria | August 10, 2008 at 03:37 PM

Tim & Bert -

For some of us -- like me -- unplanned pregnancies end in adoption, not abortion. (She's 26, happy, and living in Chicago.) That doesn't mean I'm not realistic enough to know that others will likely need to make a different choice.

So easy for those of you without a uterus to judge. Perhaps if you were ever to find yourself in such a postion, you'd think differently...?

Again, this is the only reason I care in the least about Ms. Jolie. Unfortunately, she's likely to influence those who don't care to, or have the means to, inform themselves any other way.

how does little angela feel about McCain offering up his pill-popping wife for a bunch of bikers' amusement in an R-Rated beauty show where women degrade themselves for the amusement of a bunch of beer-swilling harley-junkies.

Posted by: malach hamovess | August 10, 2008 at 03:52 PM

Dear Ms Jolie, you may or may not be slightly higher than Paris or Britney at any given time but here's a hint for your homework. Look at this country for the past 8 years and know we are now the biggest debtor nation in the world and can't really do much except hopefully save this country from the Nazi's your father loves and has joined. Your good looks and success are obviously not the result of intelligence as a factor. Go get a pair of swastikas tattooed on your ass to make your daddy and his buddies proud! Who else would support a dumbass old dork like McLame?

Perhaps Ms. Jolie's concern for "the children" includes those waiting to be born.... you know... those that represent something more than someone else's "right to choose".

Posted by: CapedConservative | August 10, 2008 at 04:07 PM

Lisa,

Your intellectual dishonesty is laughable.

Women have choice. They have the right to CHOOSE to raise their baby or give it up for adoption. Their are more married couples looking to adopt than available babies. Pretty selfish to throw them out like trash don't ya think??!!

The ONLY time abortion should be legal is to save the life of the Mother. Period.

I am sure Angelina Jolie is pro-Life, also.

John McCain does not want to abandon the Iraqi people, before proper security levels are achieved, and Miss Jolie understands this importance as well.

Sometimes doing the right thing isn't always the easiest.

I don't care who she endorses, she is a homewrecker and always will be to me, Iam A liberal proud to be one,I look at the past 8 years & cringe If Mcidiott wins,A woman's rights should stay safe all you christian do gooders should be doing more for the children who's parents don;t want them and there are many,they all say there christian and then sit in judgement of other's,,(Right is wrong),,this Country seems not to be progressing at all, and Aj dad is a big Moron that is probably why she is so messed up..because she was raised by a republican expalins it all

Posted by: Eileen | August 10, 2008 at 04:17 PM

I think that Angelina would be really stupid to vote for McSame. I mean, what good is trying to do good ibn other countries, when you are screwing your own, and a vote for McCain is truly screwing with the poor and middle class people here. I also want to take issue with the numbskull that said most Americans choose life. WRONG! Most Americans believe in the right to choose!

Posted by: Jan | August 10, 2008 at 04:22 PM

LOL! I suppose none of you have heard of the infamous "low info voters", huh? You know, the approximately 85% of the rest of the population who actually are stupid enough to care who she endorses. These same people listen to a former Playmate's opinions on vaccines for goodness sake! Come one.

Posted by: PhillyChief | August 10, 2008 at 04:40 PM

I very much so respect and admire the dedication to human rights throughout the world Ms. Jolie has shown - she is an inspiration to all. I also hope she can see through the facade of supposed democracy for the Iraqi people and security for the American people that the Bush/McCain organization is trying to continue to sell to American taxpayers. Surely, she realizes that while the American people have lost homes and jobs; suffered declining health as a result of stress and no health benefits; and suffering from the strain of increasing food/gas prices, the Iraqi government is enjoying a $79B surplus and large corporations that were awarded no-bid government contracts have enjoyed over $31B profits(which is why they are not forcing the Iraqi gov to spend thier monry). Also, do I need to remind her of all the human and cival rights in this country that we are at risk of losing? As an Afr/Amer woman, I beg of her to not lose compassion for the rights of American citizens, especially our children, who are not in her income bracket while she is working for children in other countries.

"I agree this is a mess but I ask again how long are we to stay here, do we not have families, friends we might want to see or maybe just come home"

You do realize Obama has two more wars lined up right? Nothing is going to change. Darfur and the Congo are calling and if you paid any attention to reality you would already know why the last year in Iraq and at least one of the next two wars will end up being about the same.

Posted by: Michael | August 10, 2008 at 05:03 PM

I'm not necessarily 100% pro-life, but I do think it's really sad that these days, the ultimate expression of feminine empowerment is the right to kill your baby.

Just seems kind of twisted.

Posted by: DrZin | August 10, 2008 at 05:03 PM

Angelina Jolie is an intelligent person and her remarks are proof of that. I share her concerns. It's refreshing to a point of relief to read such clear-minded reasoning from someone in entertainment -- as also from her father's recent column.

Posted by: FromTheRight | August 10, 2008 at 05:09 PM

First of all, why is she even so concerned
about the election if she chooses not to live here in the US? Second, why is she still on the fence if the differences are so stark? Third, why the heck would she choose a candidate who has an explosive temper, would have stayed in Iraq for 100 years before he changed, and has thought about attacking Iran? And only Angelina voting for McCain would bring Jon Voight out of his self imposed estrangement from his daughter. Angelina is a humanitarian but she has a history of making strange choices.

To all of the Pro-lifers who think adoption is the answer to the problem for those who for whatever reason cannot raise their child. Sadly a disproportionate amount of children are are children of color. Most adoption applicants are white. I can tell you that in their homestudies there is a section where they indicate what kind of child they will take. I've worked in adoptions in a large metro government agency and let me tell you that the vast majority of the white applicants do not check the box next to African-American and Hispanic/Latino and Asian (the latter two to a lesser degree). I am saddened by this. These are people who mark yes to HIV infected babies, drug addicted babies, babies who failed to thrive but no check mark next to African-American. There are potential black adoptive families, but not enough to meet the need. Boys are also more difficult to adopt out. They mostly want little white girls. That's just not what is primarily available. So take off your rose colored glasses and deal with the reality that adoption does not solve the abortion "problem". A woman has the right to choose and it is none of your damn business.

Even though the venerable and ancient John McCain has derided his younger and smarter opponent for being a much hated celebrity, I think he has at least one flip-flop left in him to embrace you as his number 2 McCain Girl. Go for Angelina! You win two ways: one, you'll be the only celebrity under 72 endorsing McCain and two, it's an old fashion rebellious act against daddy.

A tearful Jolie: 'I want to be a great mom'

2008-08-01T05:45:00.000-07:00

The actress talks about her new film and the impact of losing her motherBy Mike Celizic

TODAYShow.com contributor

updated 7:15 a.m. ET May 24, 2007

Angelina Jolie lost her mother in January, and the experience has made her acutely aware of her own life.

"I suppose I'm very aware of time and of memories and of doing and enjoying life," she told TODAY's Ann Curry in an emotional interview. "I want to be a great mom like my mom was. And I want to also do the things that I love."

She both laughed and cried with Curry during the interview, given a month before the release of her new film, "A Mighty Heart," co-produced by her companion, Brad Pitt.

In the movie, she portrays Mariane Pearl, the wife of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl who in 2002 was kidnapped and brutally murdered by al-Qaida terrorists while on assignment in Pakistan.

The last year for the star who has been named both the most beautiful and one of the most influential women in the world has been, in her word, "heavy."

She finished a wrenchingly emotional movie, then on May 27 of last year gave birth to a daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt in Namibia. In January, her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died at age 56 after a long battle with cancer. On March 15, she adopted Pax Thien Jolie her third adopted child and fourth in all a 3-year-old from Vietnam who had been abandoned at birth.

And now her film is debuting to rave reviews in an out-of-competition showing at Cannes.

"I'm at a strange place in my life," Jolie told Curry. "I think that that happens when you lose a parent you drop into a different kind of serious.

And yet, at the same time, you want to enjoy and laugh as much as possible every day."

She laughed at that, but a moment later she teared up as she talked about how losing her mother made her appreciate her own family that much more.

"I'm holding onto my family really tight at this moment because of that," she said. "And trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life."

"That's what got got me crying."

And then through the tears, she laughed again.

"I didn't mean to make you cry," Curry apologized.

"No, no. It's all right," said the woman who launched a thousand tabloid headlines. "It's a part of life. . . .I lost my mom. It's a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happens. And I'm happy she's out of pain, 'cause I love her."

Bertrand raised Jolie from when she was a girl after separating from her husband and Jolie's father, actor Jon Voight. Jolie remains estranged from Voight.

But the 31-year-old actress, who devotes large portions of her time and money to humanitarian causes throughout the world, said her loss could not be compared to what Mariane Pearl went through when her husband was kidnapped.

Mariane was working in Karachi as a freelance journalist with her husband when he was abducted. She was five months pregnant at the time and had to face armies of photographers and reporters while her husband's fate remained unclear.

Nine days after his abduction, Pearl was beheaded and the video posted on the Internet. Mariane would write a book about her experience with the same title as the movie. She personally called Jolie and asked her to portray her in the film. During the filming in Karachi, the two became good friends.

"Mariane lost her husband in a way that is not natural and is unfair," Jolie told Curry.

Similarly, Jolie saw no real comparison between the paparazzi who have followed her through much of her career especially when she began dating Pitt, with whom she now lives and what Mariane Pearl endured.

"I don't know what it's like to have lost my husband and somebody do that to me," Jolie said. "It's very different. . . .I just haven't gone through what she's been through. And so I just think being stopped by paparazzi is one thing. Having cameras in your face when your husband is kidnapped or he has lost his life is something that is totally different and can never be compared."

Watch Dateline NBC Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET/ 9 p.m. CT for Ann Curry's interview with Angelina Jolie and there will be more of her interview Thursday on TODAY.

Angelina Jolie: 'I love being pregnant'

2008-08-01T05:41:00.000-07:00

Actress confirms twins; actor Dustin Hoffman says she's due August 19

Angelina's "Kung Fu Panda" co-stars Dustin Hoffman and Jack Black each revealed details about the actress's pregnancy while in Cannes.

By Sarika Dani

TODAYShow.com contributor

updated 6:11 p.m. ET May 14, 2008

Actress Angelina Jolie has confirmed that she and Brad Pitt are expecting twins which will bring the Pitt-Jolie brood to a grand total of six on or around her due date of August 19.

During an interview held in Cannes, France, on Wednesday, Jolie confirmed her pregnancy to TODAY's Natalie Morales. The interview was given alongside actor Jack Black, Jolie's co-star in the new Dreamworks animated film, "Kung Fu Panda."

In a separate interview at Cannes, actor Dustin Hoffman also Jolie's "Kung Fu Panda" co-star revealed to Morales that Jolie's due date is August 19.

Black was the first to let the twins news slip. Jolie confirmed this, and added that she was due "in a few months."

Morales observed that Jolie seemed "relaxed," and she agreed. "I'm very happy," said the Oscar-winning actress. "Like most women, I love being pregnant." She added that pregnancy makes "you feel like more like a woman than you've ever felt. You just feel like everything about your body is there for your baby."

Jolie added that she would "possibly" stay in France to deliver the babies, and was keeping the sex of the babies private.

The 33-year-old is no stranger to motherhood: She and Pitt have three adopted children, Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3, as well as a biological daughter, Shiloh, who will turn 2 at the end of May.

Jolie also offered a broader view of her and Pitt's parenting style: The couple are making sure that all their kids are aware of their diverse backgrounds. "They have a real pride in who they are," she said. "Our daughter's very proud that she's African. And our boys are very proud that they're Asian they know about their country down to their food or their flags or their music."

And she's also already thinking about what kinds of people her kids will grow up to be: "We keep nothing from them when we take them around the world, so they're more resilient than we are as adults."

Jolie added that her curious kids "ask great questions about life. They ask questions about war that are poignant and spot-on because they're the questions we should all be asking ourselves."

A more glamorous 'Brady Bunch'
In the Cannes interview, Black whose wife is also expecting spilled the beans that Jolie was having twins, but she let him get away with it. "You're gonna have as many as [the] 'Brady Bunch' when you have these," he joked.

"It's confirmed? Is it two?" Morales asked.

"Yeah, yeah, we've confirmed that already," Jolie responded. "Well, Jack's just confirmed it, actually."

"Is that true?" Black said jokingly.

"Yeah, you did," Jolie replied.

Banter aside, the two parents-to-be spent the rest of the interview with Morales discussing "Kung Fu Panda," which hits theaters June 6.

Hospital Covers Windows In Angelina's Room

2008-08-01T05:24:00.000-07:00

There's no way any paparazzi are getting snapshots of a pregnant Angelina Jolie because the Lenval Hospital in Nice has gone to great lengths to make sure it doesn't happen!

The windows of Angie's room have been coated with a special material that lenses cannot see through. That should give her some piece of mind! Guess that's the treatment you get when you're a superstar!

Angelina Gives Birth to Boy and a Girl

2008-08-01T05:23:00.000-07:00

Oh oh, someone at In Touch is getting fired. The magazine reported that Angelina Jolie had given birth to twin girls yesterday, but it turns out she actually had a boy and a girl.

Dr. Michel Sussmann, the obstetrician who delivered the twins, confirmed that mother and babies "are doing marvelously well."

Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Caesarean section on Saturday night.

He told the AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed just over 5 pounds and the girl 5 pounds.

We hear the first baby photos have already been sold to one of the weeklies for $11 million dollars. And all the proceeds will go to charity. Can't wait to see the newest addition to the Brangelina bunch! Congrats to the happy couple.

Story Behind Knox Leon's Name

2008-08-01T05:17:00.000-07:00

Knox Leon isn't getting the most positive reaction from people. But Brad and Angie had a reason for naming their newborn that. He's named after Brad's grandfather, who passed away when Brad was eleven.

His name was Hal Knox Hillhouse. Sounds made up! But at least now we know the reason! Plus it fits with the rest of the boys' names in the fam, which al end in the letter x. And Marcheline is a family name as well. She's named after Angelina's mother who passed, Marcheline Bertrand.

As for Angie and the twins, they're supposedly leaving the hospital today. Wonder how long til the magazine deal for first photos is completed?

Angelina Jolie Booty Flashing Scene From WantedTuesday

2008-07-29T00:11:00.000-07:00

Here's the Angelina Jolie butt flashing scene from Wanted that everyone's talking about. Jolie looks as sexy as ever but the only problem is that you hardly see her booty! I actually saw the movie over the weekend (it was awesome btw), and I'm pretty sure that you see a lot more on the big screen, if not a much more clearer shot. Still, at least we get to see the sexiest woman in the world's glistening tattooed back. Can't wait for the DVD!

I saw the movie Beyond Borders last night. The new one with Angelina Jolie with the saving the starving people in 3rd world countries do dah? It's hard to describe, I mean, I thought it was well-done, but [Chandler Bing]could there be a worse ending?[/Chandler Bing]. Yack. I mean, it's depressing.

Also, I think Angelina Jolie is creepy. Not to mention, her lips are Distracting with a capital D. Every time I see her face, it takes all of my attention to not look at them. And it looks like she purses them all of the time erh. Annoying. The guy who plays Nick, Clive Owen? Is my new boyfriend. He was FABulous. The critics are blasting the movie because it focused too much on the love story, but seriously, this isn't a War Relief or UNICEF documentary. It's a movie with CHARACTERS, therefore, we have to see what their...

Two paparazzi in camouflage tangled with security for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

2008-07-29T00:07:00.000-07:00

Two paparazzi in camouflage tangled with security for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Thursday near the couple's French chateau, leaving a guard and a photographer bloodied.

Both sides filed legal complaints accusing the other of battery and causing injury, and one of the photographers also filed complaints for illegal detention and arrest, the Associated Press reports.

No arrests were made. A judge will rule on whether the complaints will be pursued.

The photographers, identified as freelancers Luc Goursolas and Marianne Saint-Arroman, clashed with the Pitt-Jolie security in the woods around Chateau Miraval, where the couple have been staying following the birth of their twins.

Trevor Neilson, a spokesperson for the couple, tells PEOPLE one of the paparazzi "viciously attacked a staff member, breaking his finger and wiping blood on his neck, arms, legs while saying he had Hepatitis C."

Goursolas confirms to the AP that he fought with guards, saying he broke one guard's finger and bit another, drawing blood. A guard, he claims, bloodied by hitting him on the head with a walkie-talkie.

"I was pouring blood. I threw myself at them, put blood all over them, and told them that I had HIV so they would stop hitting me," Goursolas told the AP.

But both sides conflicted on whether the guards were actually on the Pitt-Jolie's property.

Angelina Jolie Set To Play Kathi Lynn Austin In New Film

2008-07-28T23:37:00.001-07:00

Where does this girl find the time? Even though Angelina Jolie is a busy mum of four, she still has found the time to sign on to play Kathi Lynn Austin, a real life intelligence operative, in Paramount's new thriller.

Austin has participated in missions all around the world, including in Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia and Central America where she fought arms trafficking and terrorism. Austin's most recent job was working for the U.N Security Council.

It is said that the film will focus on her battle with a fictional arms dealer based on Victor Bout, who is thought to be one of the world's biggest illegal arms dealers.

The film is planned to become the first of a franchise which I think it's great - it's about time we had a female ass-kicker on the silver screens. Plus Angelina looks great with a gun!
