Firstly this might at least partly explain her questionable script choices. lol

DAVOS, Switzerland - Going back to making movies isn't easy after doing something as rewarding as helping refugees, says Angelina Jolie, the actress turned U.N. goodwill ambassador. Jolie, one of the celebrities attending the World Economic Forum (news - web sites), said acting cannot compare with the voluntary job she signed up for with the U.N. High Commission for Refugees in 2001.
"If I've had a few months I'm having trouble going back to work because I'm finding that my time at home with my son and taking him around and traveling to UNHCR programs or other parts of the world is just more fulfilling and more interesting to me and I know is more important," Jolie said Saturday.

"At the same time I know that by doing a film and making money and remaining in the public eye, I'm able to fund more programs and I'm able to bring more attention. So I know I have to do both. But it is hard to go back to work."

Jolie, who spoke to reporters a day after actress Sharon Stone raised $1 million from forum participants to fight malaria in Africa, said she thinks celebrities can serve a valuable role by publicizing the realities of world problems.

"We need the political will, and that often comes from the will of the people. So if celebrities or personalities can help to educate the people — not influence them, not tell them (what to do) — just tell them the truth about what's happening and let them form their own opinion, that will strengthen them and they will push their politicians."

She said business leaders attending the forum in the Swiss Alps are showing growing interest in helping the world's refugees.

"I met with a lot of UNHCR's business partners who have already been committing their resources and time," said Jolie, who is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. "There's quite a few."

She said the interest in helping refugees didn't need to be purely altruistic.

"Business people can understand that these are people that will be returning to the countries that were destroyed," Jolie said. "If they have proper support and education when they're in the camps or support when they're back, they can make the country stable and maybe in the future they don't go into conflict again.

"It's smart humanitarianism," she said. It' also smart business."





Call her what you want, but I want to have her babies after reading this...I don't know how it'll be physically possible as I can't produce sperm so there you have it.

[Buck Turgidson]

I've always liked her, anyway, but this aspect of her personality just makes her even more worthy of my esteem, as I've written here before.

Do it like Melissa Etheridge and just have David Crosby nail her.

I would like to make liquid explosion on her face

[Patrick Bateman]

She's definately a great person.

And it shows that she's obviously way more busy with much more important issues than just being the sex crazed, home wrecker that the public would love for you to believe.

Anyways, yeah. I love Angelina as well. And I love her hazel green eyes as well (atleast I assume they're hazel green. mine are dark green).

I would make babies with her.
Oh great. Now I'm gonna be at work all night thinking about this. :( :)

[EvilDeadGirl]

Ya know, I've always loved her and I think it's great that she gets so involved with things. I honestly wish more of these actor/actress types would get off their high fucking horses and do something instead of stating how "tragic it is".

Oh yea, and I'd love to go muff diving with her anyday. :D

[jeo4]

Her charitable nature and her work as a goodwill ambassador are very praiseworthy. If I say nothing else nice about her, I'll say that she is setting a positive example here.

I second that moiton.

[James Logan]

You want to know the truth?

I love Angelina Jolie. But most of all: I look up to Angelina Jolie. I admire Angelina Jolie.

She's gorgeous, sure. Would I want to do her? Thirteen times a day, twenty on the weekends, till the day I die or my dick falls off.

But just look and listen at her.

She's a busy single mom, still devoted to her kid more than anything in the world.

She sincerely works hard, feels, and cares for people who had less luck than she did and still has in her life.

She sets the right example.

She's seen by some people as "weird", but doesn't give a flying donkey turd about it and just lives her life like she feels she should and like it makes her happy.

She's open, comfortable, and mature about her own sexuality.

And in my ranking and opinion (not that I know her, but from what I know), despite being rich, successful (and in my opinion great at her job to, despite what people may say), she's the woman in Hollywood with the biggest heart and most beautiful soul (in my book).

I'm a guy, and I'm straight. And Angelina Jolie is one of my heroes.

This should lift are economy back up...

I think it's great when people put their money to good use, but

Lets get real. She kidnapped a kid and brought him from his homecountry to here. The lucky kid gets to never to know his heritage or common people. With her money she could easily feed a few villages, maybe even motivate a company to start a business there and help everyone. Guess the kid won the lottery...

A movie star doesn't live a real life, not one that you see. And they have so many oppertunties and financial means to fund them, as the average person struggles to survive and is overcharged by everyone

Guess all the homeless kids on sunset blvd. have to wait to next year for some to care. You can find them sitting next to the Vietnam war veteran staving to death...

Wow, wow, wow. Maybe I missed a very serious episode, here, but...who the fuck "kidnapped" a kid?

Oh, and by the way...That post of yours would probably win the Bitterest Post Award of the Year, if there was such an Award. ;)

Oh, and I don't want to give a whole speech on how international trade does lift economies back up, but on the Sharon Stone "yeah this should lift our economy back up" thing...yeah, it will. You know what Africa is? It's a market. It's a market people are exploiting and not using. Why are they not using it? Because people over there keep dying and killing each other. Let's all help solving some of the African problems, like political and civil wars, AIDS, malaria. What do you get? A safer, more stable market. What does a safer, more stable market do? It helps trade. What does trade mean? It means more money for the businesses, lower prices and more diverse products for the customers.

So yeah, it should lift the economy back up. Sure, keeping things like they are right now will do for two, three years -- but if you're talking long term and very long term and down the road, then helping Africa out of the ditch us Westerners put them in in the first place is the one and only option to a healthy, more stable world economy.

Last I heard, she actually had a house (not one you would automatically assume) built IN Cambodia. Maddox's homecountry.
The reason? That should be quite obvious I think.

Since Angelina's involvement, there has been a slew of celebs lending a helping hand in that county. A country that has had DECADES of war, and genocide. A legacy that was thankfully laid to rest in 1998.

On a side note, one of Angelina's many aid projects has also been for the disabled former Khmer Rouge soilders of that country's civil war. It should be obvious to anyone that indeed Angelina DOES care a great deal for her adopted son's homecountry.

But in the beginning it was Angelina. Now because of her stardom, Cambodia has definately been brought to the attention of many of hollywoods celebs. Much more than it has in the past I believe. And however they choose to help, believe me, is greatly appreciated I'm sure.

Although Cambodia has a well-founded reputation for eastern mystique, it also has a less well-founded one for danger. As well as many social woes from desperate poverty, to the highest AIDS infection rate in Asia.

To say the kid will never know of his heritage is a crock.

Cambodia may not be the greatest country to build a home in. But she did it for a reason. Love perhaps? :confused:

Not sure if your post is indeed the most bitterest post I've seen this year. But boy, it ranks right up there!

In closing...

Angelina Jolie. What a WOMAN!. :cool:

[ComeNightfall]

I always question when celebrities all of a sudden start getting involved in worthy causes, but Angelina's really proven herself. She may be into the weirdness, but hey, aren't we all at some time? And if Angelina kidnapped her son, then so did all the other people who adopted kids from other countries.

[Buck Turgidson]

I have found this to be a very wise policy in the past, and I reiterate it now: I'm with Logan.

There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of famous people who support really worthy endeavors, at here and abroad. I'm not talking about PETA or dilettante bullshit like that, I mean real humanitarian efforts to assist people in need and make their lives better. Sandy Bullock's $1 million from her own persoanl worth, comes to mind immediately. There are others, working with various organizations like the Red Cross, UNICEF...you name it.

RE:

The point?

Do you mean that you shouldn't help ANYONE, because you can't help EVERYONE?

Jolie is doing her own part in making the world better. And since she IS famous and rich, she is capable of doing more than most. She is not stupid enough to think that she can save everyone in the world, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't be trying her best.

Oceans are made of waterdrops after all. Big changes never happen by one man, but by many men all doing the best they can.

I respect what she is doing.

My guess is that he was trying to say she should help out homeless American kids before helping out homeless kids from other countries. That's the way I read it at least. I completely disagree with him, but I think that's what he meant.

RE:

I still disagree with that opinion, of course. Doesn't make much difference if one is helping Cambodian or American children. As long as help is given.

I agree completely. We can't criticize someone for not helping the "right" people.

[movielover-9]

I definitely think that Angelina is one of the most misunderstood actresses in Hollywood. Most people just think of her as some slutty, psychotic weirdo. But, really, she is a great person. I read an interview with her in Reader's Digest, and it gave me a different view of her. She is a really smart, warm, and gorgeous woman , with her share of eccentric moments of course, but she really does care about people.
No, I'm not trying to win the "Kiss Ass" award but it's really impressive to find a person nowadays with that big of a heart.

[Kimmy]

i already liked her as an actress and now i like her as a person

[Voodoodoll]

She's a sweetheart and really intelligent and well-spoken to boot :) If only the press could focus on all the good she does instead of concocting scandals...:rolleyes:

:eek: That has to win the award for least subtle cheese in a piece of advice. God, I love the message man, but now I feel like it's Thursday, and I'm watching a Disney After School Special. Wow. I'm feeling all sensitive now.

I guess it's time that I go take a swim in Lake Me.
