How Angelina Manipulates The Media
Friday, November 21st, 2008
The NY Times has a very interesting article about the lengths Angelina Jolie has gone to in order to remake her image from Bisexual Wild Thing to Mother Theresa. The Times reports that Jolie demands a guarantee of positive coverage—now and in the future—from the magazines she deals with. Jolie and Brad Pitt negotiated a deal with Peopler for photos of their newborn twins and an interview which reportedly gave the stars not only $14 million but control over how the couple was portrayed in the magazine. While the deal was probably worth it for People since the issue with their twins on the cover was the magazine’s best-seller in seven years, it does make you wonder how much of what you read in celebrity rags is bought and paid for.
Brad Faces The Realities Of Parenting
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008
Brad Pitt taped an appearance on “Oprah” to shill for his new movie but of course, what the big O really wanted to talk about was Angie and the kids. Pitt said that one of their major challenges was just hauling the brood around.
“It’s like a half-an-hour just to get everyone buckled in and make sure they’ve got their snacks, and Z.Z. [Zahara, 3] has got a blanket and Shiloh’s got her silky. Angie’s militant about it. She’s right on top of it. Thank God, because I’m always forgetting something.”
Pitt also said 2 1/2-year-old Shiloh wanted to be called “John” or “Peter.” Wait a few years and you’ll wish she was still a tomboy when her looks have all the guys hanging around.
Angelina Retiring?
Thursday, November 13th, 2008
Has balancing a career with motherhood become too much for Angelina Jolie to handle? She told the BBC:
“I don’t plan to keep acting very long. I’m ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma some day…I have a lot of children. I have a big responsibility to make sure that they’re growing right and that they have got us there for them.”
It’s easy to say that now but wait until her accountant tells her how much it costs to raise all those kids—especially after the get to be teenagers and want things like designer shoes, cars and bail money. Angie will be acting in her 80s like those grandmas on soap operas just to pay the bills.
Brad’s Not Cool With Jen’s Comments
Thursday, November 13th, 2008
Looks like Camp Brangelina is not happy with spurned wife Jennifer Aniston’s comments that stealing her man was “uncool.” Chicago Sun-TImes columnist Bill Zwecker reports that Brad Pitt, no doubt egged on by his baby momma Angelina Jolie, called Aniston to complain about her statements to Vogue. A source said the couple thought she had already “moved on…and wouldn’t want to reopen this old wound.” Get a clue, you two. Some things are pretty hard to forgive and forget.
Jen Beats Angie—To The Bank
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
Angelina Jolie may have won Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston, but Jen’s the big winner when it comes down to cash. Forbes reports that during the period of June 2007 to June 2008, Jen made $27 million to Angie’s $14 million. Of course, Angie was pregnant during that period while Jen made several films, but the latter also has an endorsement deal with Smartwater and is still raking it in from “Friends.” Jennifer may be single but she has a lot of money to keep her warm.
