ANGELINA: FROM AFGHANISTAN TO HOLLYWOOD

Fresh from her humanitarian mission in Afghanistan, a radiant Angelina Jolie was all smiles at the Hollywood Film Festival in Beverly Hills last night.

The actress/mother/philanthropist was on hand to present Academy Award-winning director and producer Clint Eastwood with the Hollywood Director of the Year Award at the festival’s Hollywood Awards Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Ron Howard, Michael Mann, Sam Mendes, Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone are among the past honorees of the coveted honour.

Angelina, who seems to never run out of the energy to both move her family from one exotic location to the next, or to do-good, recently returned from her two-day humanitarian trip to Afghanistan where she visited families stricken by poverty.

Jolie’s appearance was such a surprise that the crowd gasped when she was introduced. “There are some people in this business that are icons, and we often wonder if, when we meet them, they’ll live up to what we imagine them to be,” she told the audience. “And Clint Eastwood in person is even better.”

    she is so fake, dressing in rags, using poverty stricken Afghans for a photo-op/PR and then jetting off to her castle then some award show and pretending she is some big humanitarian……….IT IS DECEPTION…….

    She looks plastic. What happened to her? She was so natural before.

    She’s still natural but that ken doll she’s shaking off must have rubbed off on her more than original though. At least she’s away from him now and has time to go back to being the Angelina we all love.

    She look good but I think the travel has taken her down a notch. She needs a nap. Love her!

    She’s just gorgeous. She has meaning in her life now and you can see that. She is doing good for other people and you can tell she puts her heart into it. I do think she needs to have a bit of a break though, but I don’t think it’s in her character to relax. She seems like the type of person who has a to do list a mile long!

    Her eyes are somehow off and very dark hair doesn’t suit her.

    Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler Go On (Fake?) DatePublished: Monday, October 27, 2008Jennifer Aniston continues to try and convince the world she’s a strong and independent woman who has moved on from that whole Brangelina thing, this time by reportedly going on a publicity stunt date with actor Gerard Butler. The New York Post’s Page Six reports that Aniston and Butler were seen having dinner at Los Angeles’ Tower bar.

    Aniston and the shouty Scotsman were linked once during the Toronto International Film Festival in September, though Butler recently denied it, telling E! News: “This came from a seven-minute conversation that we had at the Toronto Film Festival at a big party, and the next minute it’s in all the papers.”

    A source told Page Six of the new sighting: “They were very affectionate to each other. There was another man at the table, but he looked like he was a chaperone-or just there to stop tongues wagging. They basically ignored him.”

    The stunt date certainly wasn’t an attempt at damage control after Aniston was recently seen taking her last fake BF, John Mayer, back-a move that some would consider not very strong and definitely not very independent.

    .
    silly empty gossip as usual

    Angelina reminds me of an ugly porn star with satanic tendencies, pulling a big scam on the public by trying to make the believe she is helping people….. SHE HELPS NOTHING EXCEPT HER OWN PR. Those people in Afghanistan didn’t benefit by her visit. AT ALL. She may as well be honest and get back into knives, incest, lesbianism and the rest. She looks like a washed up hooker. I WOULD NEVER DATE HER. EVER. I am glad Brad’s fake persona moved on…..

    Wow!! Some of you people need major therapy. Either your parents drop you on your head as babies or they never hugged you or say I love you. Perhaps go one on one with Osama on a new reality show call Who got more hatred than Osama!!

    there is something worse than the people who do noting : THOSE WHO PRETEND TO …..she is a fake ugly tattooed bitch who was the joke of Hollywood with her public incest and Halloween BillyBob blood trip……. until Brad wanted out of his shitty, pretentious vanity marriage and fcked her. BTW Angelina is the one who can’t talk to her own damn father….maybe she is the one who needs help not the Afghans whose war she supported by help voiceless complacency ?

    She is just a scab - and I see others do agree with me.

    man, nothing makes my day like reading the bitchhate spewed at every fucking post about jolie and pitt. it’s what they live for; their pathetic lives consumed by an obsession with a couple who don’t even know they exist — and couldn’t care less.

    they have millions to live their lives the way they want — and in the process aggravate a pathetic group of people. awesome. lol.

    Where are her children? She was in New York, flew back to Berlin (made sure she was photographed on the tarmac), then in a third world, sighted in New Yrok last week, now Calif. Has she been with Brad and the children at all in the last 2 weeks? This woman really need sto stay home with her children and look after them.

  21. October-28-2008 @ 10:53 am

    But Joe-
    Why should she? I mean she is a “goddess” to all and to herself.
    She will always come first in her life, then Brad, then her children.
    And also; they are the biggest hypocrites in Hollywood, today.

    shouldn’t she breastfeed for at least 6 months. that’s what WHO says is necessary for infants. i doubt she took the babies with her to afghanistan.

    Jen never did date Gerald Butler … Wow one week she is proposing to John and trying to have his baby
    and the next week she is with Gerald Butler.. Listen if she is with Gerald and another person it is probably about work..

    Angie is the one that told the world that Brad and her had an affair on the set… So why not go after Brad
    calling him a lot of crap.. Never not Brad but every other husband that got divorced was put through the
    ringer.. Called nasty names being made to be the bad person…Now we see Angie and a golden Angel that
    can do no wrong..Giving Clint Eastwood an award and doing her charity work.. a year later and the people
    still live in tents..

    Can’t stand her, or anything about her. She and Brad are a couple of tools.
