ANGELINA JOLIE DOES ‘VANITY FAIR’

Angelina Jolie may or may not have just delivered her twin babies, but one thing we know for sure is that she graces the July cover of Vanity Fair.
Inside the mag, the mother-of-many dishes on everything from love, marriage to her career.
Angelina on being pregnant: “I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”Angelina on her international family: “When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh-because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little-and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”
Angelina on Shiloh’s birth: “We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”
Angelina on nannies: “We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher-wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Bel-gium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”
Angelina on artists as parents: “Artists raise their kids differently,” she said. “We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

You’re not an artist, bitch.
May 30th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
All of the marvelously normal things a mother would say… **waiting for the first jackass to talk about her being a herione addict.. ooooh.. or her vile of blood… ooh ooh or how she’s crazy and her kids and brad suffer for it — wait for it.. wait for iiiiittttt……**
May 30th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Okay I want to so throw up.
I can just feel in her statements above, how holy and mighty she is then the average joe.
BOW to the holy queen.

She is beautiful - but there is just a little too much airbrushing on this picture. Her vogue cover was much nicer. Oh well. Also her hair looks like the 80’s.
May 30th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
That is nuts! I don’t have books at my house with my kids…or art! My kids don’t even know what a play is!! WOW, that is amazing that “artists” do that with their kids. We don’t commuicate either, unless I’m telling them to grab me a beer!

I don’t know but somehow she is turning into a sociliate to me. She used to love to be in the field with aid workers and spending weeks there. She flew low key, wore little make-up, and hated the fakness of hollywood and red carpets. Now she has four homes, is living in a 70 million dollar mansion, has three nannies, has walked the red carpet like 20 times in the past year and rarely goes to the field (I know she went to Iraq to visit the troops but really spending like 2-3 weeks with the poor people she doesn’t do now). And look at this picture so joan collins like. She just seems to have gone from so authenic to so cheesy. Instead of focusing her fame on others like she used to she seems to talk about herself all the time. She is just so changed in the last couple of years and I personally don’t think for the better. COME BACK ANGIE! BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!

The cover looks great, she looks sexy and sultry! Just stunning!
May 30th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Brad is lucky man.
Her boobs- mmmm
May 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Geez, the haters are just so jealous! Angelina’s beauty is the real deal, there is nothing fake in her, the eyes, the lips, the perfect oval face, and her skin, girl doesnt have any pores!
May 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
She doesn’t need airbrush,or all this makeup.
She is a natural beautyl.
I will buy a copy.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
She doesn’t look a thing like herself on the cover, and that last quote is absolutely ridiculous. Non-artists raise artists, and vice versa, every single day. She needs to get over herself already.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Kidge
Sorry kidge, Angelina’s interviews are much much interesting than Aniston’s shallow nonsense talks in her interviews!
May 30th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
She is more beautiful than…that.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
anonymous (13) - I’m not an Aniston-lover. I actually used to really like Brangelina, but I’ve lost my taste for them recently. I still think, though, that Jolie owns Aniston in every single way.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
HONESTLY PEOPLE -
She is looking to much like the Android Barbi Twin!!!

annie - You, my dear, are the idiot if you consider her an actor. Tabloid darling, yes. Overexposed humanitarian, yes. But please, don’t get the terms “actor” and “celebrity” confused.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
^An actor is someone who plays a role in a dramatic production, blah blah blah. Whether you think she’s good or not is up to you, but actor she is. I don’t like the cover, that hair is too big for such a thin face. Nice interview though.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
“Artists raise their kids differently,” she said.
holy father, let rain some brain.
May 30th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
shut up, people. she IS an artist and can do no wrong. oh and have YOU saved any Etheopian kids lately?
May 30th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I like her nose. A terrific nose job.
May 30th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Let the HATE begin………..
May 30th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
kd-
The definition of an artist is wide-ranging and covers a broad spectrum of activities to do with creating art, practicing the arts and/or demonstrating an art.
==
Your God, isnt an artist………If anything she would be an Actress that has blobs, and loves her boughten kids more then her real ones. She has even stated that in her own words.
==
An actor, actress, player or rarely thespian, is a person who acts in a dramatic production and who works in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity.

Duh
May 30th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Damn, no matter what I may think of her personality, this woman is really beautiful. That means that I guess that in her exotic ways she defines what is up-to-date in our ways to define female beauty. Finally and after all, she is perfection, like it or not.
May 30th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Didn’t find a c-section painful? I had two and unless she stayed on painkillers for quite some time there is definite pain. It’s major abdominal surgery for goodness sake.
May 30th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
“Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists”
That is exactly what every other preschool parent in America does with their kids— its doesnt take an “artist” to break out the paints and crayons or the old halloween costumes….
Angie– get OVER yourself!!
May 30th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Hey Typo Queen/She Rides a Harley or whatever name you choose… She isn’t a god.
May 30th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Thats what I said - -
SHE ISNT A GOD……………..she seems to be everyone else god.

Read it man.
Gesh
May 30th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I like that color of lipstick! The article?? *yawn*
May 30th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Nice cover. When you read the article, it really pins that whole pretentious-blow-up-doll look they seemed to be going for.
May 30th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I personally find her life inspiring. I think she realizes that it takes someone with a lot of money to do the things she does, and she’s grateful for it. If I had her money and fame, I’d want to try and help the world and it’s people, any way that I could. I admire that about her.
And airbrushing or not, you cannot deny this woman is GORGEOUS. I’m not a big fan of any of her movies, but she’s beautiful and trying to do something about the things she believes in.
May 30th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
the last paragraph is kind of silly but i like her other responses. i agree with “me again” that she is grateful. she’s far from the woman of 10 years ago… i wouldn’t have thought she’d be the person she is today.
May 30th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
She looks FAN-tastic. She’s a million times more intelligent and interesting than anything Maniston has rehearsed saying. Nonetheless, I do have to be honest and say she can come off a bit pretentious. I don’t think she realizes it though. But it does seem like she’s trying very hard to portray an image of herself and her life in a certain way, and it can sound a little puffed up. Hope she starts chilling a bit. Brad can do no wrong on my eyes though. Hope he’s over the moon with his new life.
May 30th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
The most gorgeous woman in like centuries!
Gorgousness! I’m so glad that she looks so serene now.
May 30th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
SHE IS AMAZING. I LOVE HER.
May 30th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
whatever what the fuck would you guys say if you were being interviewed by Vanity Fair. She is a wonderful human being stop hating.
May 30th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
She looks like a whore in that picture. I think pics with pregnant women wearing that “come fuck me” look is offensive!
May 30th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
WOWWW….could she look any hotter on this cover!!?? She doesn’t seem to wear makeup very often and when she does she just looks fabulous. Reading her comments I just really admire her, not just as a woman, but as a mother. She’s not afraid to be a little different and those children are very lucky to have such wonderful parents like her and Brad. They really seem to want what is best for those kids and they have given them some amazing opportunities and life lessons at such a young age. I wouldn’t blame them getting a nanny when the twins come at all! Most regular families if they had six young children would have help, so why shouldn’t they? Especially considering they have jobs that require them to work long days and go out at nights. I think they are managing just fine and seem very happy, so the people that hate are probably just jealous or something. I can’t understand why anyone would put down a family that obviously works so well together.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
She always talks like she’s above everyone ugh! I can’t stand that hoe.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Chill, carrieanne, chill. Where did that come from? Project much? Not once did “f**k me” cross my mind when I saw this photo. All I see is a photographer capturing pure beauty. Stop being nasty…And dare I say, jealous? Tsk. tsk.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
Oh blah! Blah! Blah! Angelina is a skank.
May 31st, 2008 at 4:38 am
doesn’t she have brown eyes? why do they look blue?
May 31st, 2008 at 7:00 am
i fail to understand how a c-section is a miracle of what a body can do
beautiful cover though
May 31st, 2008 at 11:39 am
WOW if only my parents were artists and allowed me to see art, have books and COMMUNICATE..
May 31st, 2008 at 12:16 pm
C-section, huh? ANGIE’S GOT THE HERP!
Oh, and check past photos. Definitely got her nose done. She quite average looking without the acqueline lines she bought herself.

La adorable actriz Angelina Jolie, nuevamente mamá, en el mes de julio estará en la revista Vanity Fair.
En el reportaje, ella comenta, que “estar embarazada le encanta, porque me hace sentir más mujer. Todo mi cuerpo lo siente, teniendo otra vida dentro de mi. Creo que cada mujer tiene una experiencia diferente, dependiendo de su pareja. Estoy con un hombre que me encuentra muy sexy embarazada”.
Hablando sobre la familia: “Cuando yo era pequeña he querido adoptar, porque yo era consciente que hay niños que no tienen padres. No es una cosa humanitaria, porque no la veo como un sacrificio. Es un regalo. Estoy tratando de darles a mis hijos la infancia que yo siempre desee tener.
May 31st, 2008 at 8:31 pm
This woman is ridiculously overrated.
