While I believe that Angelina Jolie does not click on every story about her on the internet, I do believe she reads some of them or knows about the big ones. The Oscar leg thing was big news. People mocked it and created Twitter pages. Jim Rash mocked her during the actual show while she was there. It was everywhere. For her to say now "I honestly didn't pay attention to it. You know what I mean? I don't watch those TV shows and if I go online and see something about myself, I don't click on it. The people I surround myself with don't really talk about that kind of stuff. I heard something, but I didn't pay any attention. It's as simple as being a woman picking a dress you like and having a night, and not really thinking about anything else."
She knew. She would like us to believe she is far too above all that to pay attention to anything and that she does not get her hands dirty. I feel like sometimes she really would like for people to kiss her ring when she goes to these war zones and blesses them with her presence.
This was the stupidest answer I ever read, since so much time has passed why did she even bother answering....would have been smarter to just let it go.
ReplyDeleteThat said I think she was stoned out of her mind....
She comes off very pretentious with that answer. You looked like a fool everyone laughed & its over. No need to talk about it now, just keep the chicken leg under control.
ReplyDeleteYou know, allot of the comments on Celbitchy really DO seem to find her saintly.
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate to volunteer work but does she not have a team of people to craft her image?
The leg thing was spur of the moment and she could have said "Yeah I stuck my leg out - it felt sexay!"
She seems really terribly aware of her image and what is said of her. I would not want that kind of pressure.
I'd be shaving my head and smacking folks with umbrellas in no time.
I think she's pretentious, and full of herself, but even if she's doing all her charity work for the wrong reasons, she's still done a helluva lotta good. Certainly more than I am. I don't think war torn children are likely rolling their eyes at her seeming quest for fame and Sainthood like some of us are.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this is exactly what I expected her to say. I mean, what should she say? "I read all the stories about myself online and they hurt my feelings"? Riiiight. This is the typical canned response and is disappointing coming from a supposed rebel. I'd like to hear, "I've read the stories, and while they made me feel bad at first, I figured, f#ck 'em! I was a bit tipsy and had a great time. I mean, if people want to make an issue out of it, that's fine. If my bare leg draws more attention to me and the causes I support, that's a good thing."
She was so unconcerned about it that she felt the need to let you know she was unconcerned about it.
ReplyDeleteI like your answer, MadLyb. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI still think it was a big inside joke for her and Brad and their pals.
I don't think she reads all the rags and blogs, except CDAN, of course but she admits she 'heard something'.
Her chartible work is beyond great, she is well read and respected amonst world movers and shakers.
Maybe I'm stupid or whatever but what exactly is the big deal? She had a dress on that showed leg? What's the big scandal?
ReplyDeleteAngie hate is SO played. She can't be anything---humble nor proud, motherly without it being an 'act', NOR can she be above it all without being a LYING LIAR.
ReplyDeleteTo anyone who thinks they don't like her--STOP commenting. Doesn't your attention just feed what you purport to dislike oh so strongly?
I mean really, wouldn't your time be better served volunteering, studying, laundry, housework? I wouldn't substitute your 'Ang-Hate' time for eating (again), though, that only leads to hating her more.
Since I mentioned eating, would any armchair psychiatrists like to diagnose her w/ eating disorders OVER THE INTERNET? That shit totally holds up. Everyone seems to forget that her partner Brad LIKES HIS WOMEN THIN. Every one of his ladies was a bone while with him---even Jen was 20 pounds thinner. I've kept myself thinner for a boyfriend who gave good love, if that's what they liked...everyone wants to be attractive for their partner.
I'm off for the day...I'm turning my Ang-respect into yardwork, rather than sitting here all day reading y'all's yells at me. Have a great day, and seriously--think about it. WAY too much bile & hate in this world. And too much woman-on-woman HATE. It keeps us down and our concerns on the back burner. Let's love more or be quiet about it, please. Peace.
Right on.
DeleteI've never really gotten all the Angelina hate. Brad wanted to be stolen, and who said he didn't pursue her?
I wish she had said something to the effect of, "ha ha, I heard some stuff, but I don't have time to read about my leg."
But whatever. Sad we live on a culture where more people read articles about her leg than they do on who is running for president this year.
@Exton...the scandal was that she made damn sure you saw that leg....over and over and over and....
ReplyDelete@Libby....HOUSEWORK??? Shut your mouth, girl! ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy comment (the eating part) was NOT directed at anyone (here) in particular. Just a general observation of her critics on all the sites.
ReplyDeleteXOX.
To the bushes!
lol, Brenda!
ReplyDeleteseriously now. I'm walking out the door this time...
@ exton, the pose was awkward yet obviously rehearsed, and therefore made AJ look desperate and out-of-touch with reality. Think Norma Desmond.
ReplyDeleteNo, I wouldn't say Jen was 20lbs thinner when she was married to Brad.
ReplyDelete@Libby, please, don't ever tell me what I can and can't post on a public blog.
I can't stand Angelina. She is pretentious, snobby, she lies and creates a false image to us lesser people. She isn't immune to being made fun of on this blog, just like everyone else. Are you going to go in every thread and tell people not to post if they don't like someone?
I was going to do something to day, but now I think I will spend all day online finding Angelina message boards to spam. Come on! As if that is what any of us do when we don't like the subject of the post.
"Us,lesser people"??? WTF? Speak for yourself,now we understand all the hatin'!
DeleteLibby dear, you are on a gossip website.
ReplyDeletePeople talk about the people being talked about.
Do you know her personally?
I really wish she would have just said 'look, the dress made me feel sassy. I didn't know at the time how incredibly silly it looked, but hey - it's just the damn Oscars. I laughed too when I saw the pics online.' But oh no, she is way too much of an intellectual to click on the 1000's of links. Right.
ReplyDeleteWow, Angelina fans are so serious about their relationship with a stranger who has no idea that they exist!
ReplyDeleteIt's a gossip blog where we discuss celebrities. Some people like her, some hate her. Trust me, I don't think she's losing any sleep over it so there's no reason to get all Bodyguard on us. As far as the suggestion that we would be better off spending our time volunteering etc. why are you on the blog at all? Shouldn't you be spending all of your time taking your own advice? Or can we all just lighten up a little and let people like/dislike whoever they want?
And re Angelina: Girl please!! You really expect us to believe that someone who has spent 10 years doing everything possible to change the public's perception of her from a brother kissing, knife loving, blood vial wearing weird girl to saintly, savior of the world doesn't read gossip about herself??? Give me a break. Celebrities by their nature are narcissists and as much as she tries to sound above it all in that response, the fact she responded at all shows that she is not. Janet 296 put it perfectly:
"She was so unconcerned about it that she felt the need to let you know she was unconcerned about it."
*eye roll*
Angelina does a lot of good via her charity work, etc. But she is one hell of a condescending asshole who has no friends in Hollywood. All of Brad Pitt's old friends loathe her, and she has done her best to create a rift between them. No, I don't know her personally, but I have an old friend who works as a publicist, and who has dealt with her on multiple occasions...multiple unpleasant occasions.
ReplyDelete@Libby-get over yourself. Seriously.
Hey, the leg thing worked. People talked about it and now she's talking about it and everyone is listening.
ReplyDeleteShe seems to be one of those people that folks get passionate about. If anyone criticizes her, the superfans freak out. People who criticize her tend to go way over the top.
But this is a celebrity gossip site and if we are going to talk smack, lets talk serious smack about the stars. I'm not worried about offending them.
Soooo....what's the point of this? Are you pissed because she didn't care about all the chatter? Why would she? She is Angelina Muthfuckin' Jolie.
ReplyDeleteShe is full of herself..and she looked ridiculous at the Oscars.
ReplyDeleteLMAO remember back around Christmas, she said she doesn't really use the internet and that "Brad and I tried to go to Amazon and got lost and gave up"
ReplyDeleteShe's so full of shit, seriously. And I'm sorry, but what she does as an "Ambassador" is bullshit and mainly for show. Twice a year she flies to some impoverished African country, probably on a private jet, doesn't wear makeup, poses for some staged pictures with the camera crew she brought with her, then goes home.
When's the last time she got arrested ala George Clooney? When is the last time she did ANY ambassador work that was more than a photo shoot?
She really makes me sick.
I still love her, just like Victoria Beckham...I always think "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, rich, thin, and have a killer man" every time I see a picture of either one.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the pose, it was so out of character for her that I'm still wondering if it was some kind of inside joke? Maybe George donated $$$'s to one of her charities for every pose? When she presented the Oscar and struck the pose she laughed like she was well aware how silly it was.
Sorry to say Angelina is delusional. I am pretty sure she like all celebrities read about themselves. If that was not the case they would not try to change their imagine. I have never believe her charity work always felt she does it not because of the goodness of her heart but for publicity.
ReplyDeletehow's the garden looking, libby?
ReplyDeletePrincess,how much did that chateau cost again?
ReplyDeletePrincess,how much did that chateau cost again?
ReplyDeleteI love Ang - she can do no wrong in my eyes.
ReplyDelete@Princess:
If Ang just wanted some positive PR, a couple of trips as an UN ambassador would be sufficient, she's been doing this for over 10 years, pays for the trips herself (yes she can afford it - that's not the point), and shares the same basic working and living conditions as UNHCR field staff on all of her trips.
Yes, there are photographers there - that's kind of the point, to bring awareness to a situation that most people (myself included) wouldn't be interested in if celebrities such as AJ didn't bring attention to it.
UN goodwill ambassador aside, she has engaged in many other charity works, mostly helping children. But then on top of that she does ad hoc acts of kindness such as buying these 2 old ladies who are sisters, a home after they lost theirs in the Bosnian war, and had since been living in a refugee camp.
Personally, I think her efforts go above and beyond what's required for PR because she genuinely cares about those who need help and wants to help in whatever way she can. I wish I could say the same about myself - that's why I admire people like her regardless of whether they're a celebrity or not, because at the end of the day, she's done more to help humanitarian causes than I ever will.
ok, really? It's a blog about celebrities! Comments about how someone should go do some charity work, or how maybe they should be paying more attention to more "important" things is silly. Alot of us come here to get away from the "real" news. Tell someone they are wrong for their personal feelings about a post, no big deal. Jump on them for their negative feelings by snapping at them about the time they spend on a celebrity blog is beyond hypocritical. You are here too.
ReplyDeleteShe is a celebrity who does graciously spend time working for and donating to charity. She is also a silly little narcisistic twit. Don't see why the hell she can't be both. I know alot of bitches who donate to the March of Dimes. As for the leg thing, I think the best response for her would have been...."yeah, probably not one of my finer moments " and left it at that
this story is so "ONE month ago"
ReplyDeleteOK she was ridiculous but who really cares?
Didn't the interviewer ask her about her response to 'leg-gate'? LOL.
ReplyDeleteStupid post.
basically,she was high as kite that nite, like everyone else who once in while get too wasted, does something stupid and is kinda of embarrassed to admit the next day. end of story
ReplyDeletebasically,she was high as kite that nite, like everyone else who once in while get too wasted, does something stupid and is kinda of embarrassed to admit the next day. end of story
ReplyDeleteI DON'T hate her. I think the leg stunt was sadly laughable.
ReplyDeleteWhy not say she had a few drinks pre-show and was feeling no pain?
Why not laugh it off and say she was audtioning for the rockettes??
Why not STFU and move on because the rest of the world did?
hmmm said...
ReplyDeletePrincess,how much did that chateau cost again?
----------------------------------
Enough to feed 8 countries in Africa.
She just can't laugh at herself. She should have just laughed if off instead of giving an answer that contradicts her previous answers eg not knowing how to use the Internet. I think she is losing her ability to manipulate her publicity.

ReplyDelete------------------
Wow the delusion is thick with you. She bought those sisters a house in Bosnia because the entire COUNTRY turned against her and wanted her out and to quit filming her idiotic disaster of a movie there.
It's clear you fall for all the PR bullshit spouted - yea she's been involved with the UNHCR for 10 years, and go look at the record of the countries she's visited - Costa Rica, Arizona, Russia, Spain. Prostitution is legal in Spain and there is a HUGE problem with underage girls there working as prostitutes - did you learn that from her when she was trying to help the children?
Give me a break, you're just another angelinaloon.
Thank god she visited Arizona ...that country needs some serious humanitarian effort.
Deleteyikes
I'm glad she crusades for so many impoverished countries and people, but have to admit it's a lot easier when you're wealthy and have a team of people to make sure you're not very inconvenienced while doing it. I have a friend who's just your average college grad who travels the world working for one non-profit after another improving people's lives. She lives in shacks just like the people she's helping. Now, that's sainthood.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe ANY celebrity who says they don't pay attention to the Internet or the press. In fact quite the opposite; I'm sure a lot of them Google themselves on a fairly regular basis.
ReplyDeleteIMO when a celeb says "I don't pay any attention to the media and I never go on the Internet" it's about as believable as other standard celebrity bullshit like "I was a nerd in high school", "I don't really think I'm pretty", "The millions of dollars I've made don't make any difference to me", "I was hospitalized for exhaustion" etc etc etc. Silly lies!
go read BOHOMOTH.COM for interesting read on "saint Angelina" While I applaud her helping 3rd world countries, I also firmly believe she's doing to try to improve her image. I have more respect for Clooney and Martin Sheen than I do her and Brad.
ReplyDeleteJust because she has done a lot of good things doesn't make her look less awkward in this pose or her response sound genuine. This whole leg thing was weird and not sexy and her response is very middle school sounding to me.
ReplyDeleteShe always seems extremely vain so she probably clicks on every story she can.
ReplyDelete@califblond, I love Poshspice too. That's because I know she has a wicked sense of humor and can always laugh at her self. For the last 15 years she has also explained to the media that she hates her smile so that is why she doesn't smile when a pap has one aimed at her. If you see her on camera for something she livens up and can laugh and is witty.
ReplyDeleteShe is nothing like Angelina, personality wise. She has one.
Angie wasn't winning anything, so she stuck out her leg to get publicity.
ReplyDeleteA month later, the world has forgotten about Jolie again - so she makes comments that she has been unaware of the publicity surrounding her leg.
People will do anything for publicity!
I thought it was well known that it was a joke with a couple of the other women who were making "sexy poses". ???
ReplyDelete@ Princess:
ReplyDeleteArizona? So Arizona is a country now as opposed to one of the states in the US?
I may be wrong, but from what I can recall she bought the house for the sisters after the film had been made, not during filming.
To be honest, I don’t really understand what point you’re trying to make. Are you critising the list of countries she’s visited as UN Goodwill ambassador? Or are you criticizing AJ for not being involved in areas you feel strongly about? A little clarity would be helpful.
And lastly, yes I like AJ a lot, I have a lot of admiration and respect for her. But I don’t believe in anyway shape or form, I was rude or disrespectful to you in expressing my opinion. As a basic courtesy, it'd be nice if you could do the same. If you can't express an opinion without resorting to aggression and insults, it rather undermines it.
@Princess- I agree with you. Yes, she does do some good in 3rd world countries, but she makes damn sure there are cameras and photographers around to capture it all. I think it might have been the trip to Costs Rica where it was reported that she only visited for about an hour.
ReplyDeleteI also think it's a coincidence that we are just hearing a response leg gate 4 weeks after the fiasco. Why? Could it be The New Yorker abstract that coincidently was also posted on Sat. , same as the Huff Po article?
There is no way that was an inside joke??? Come on. There was something off about her and Brad that night. They always do interviews together but not on that night. I saw some pics where you could see her left leg sticking put from under her dress, which show how far apart her legs were during the posing. Her legs were in a semi-squat position. The way she kept on doing it was weird. She's worn dresses with the leg slit, but she's never overdone the posing. That was no inside joke.
@Roxx - "She can do no wrong in your eyes."
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying to attack you, but in my eyes, that's a dangerous statement to make about people. It's as if people have carte blanche to do whatever they want without any repercussions.
I think there are many wealthy people - famous and otherwise - donate their time &/ money to charities, but they don't feel a need to publicize it . With Angie, she brings awareness to third world countries, but she also seeks and uses it to improve her image.
I used to be a fan of hers pre-Brad. She's changed a lot - she's very cold and controlling. Look and listen to her interviews pre-Brad, there used to be a warmth and genuineness about her that is not there anymore. This is one of the reasons she incites so much vitriol.
Hello Liz,
ReplyDeleteIt's cool, I don't think you're attacking me. Everyone here has different views and I think most people are pretty respectful in how they express their opinion.
With regard to my statement, "She can do no wrong in my eyes", it is tongue in cheek. Clearly if AJ murdered someone, that would be wrong and unacceptable. However, I'm not going to come down hard on her because she flashed some leg at the Oscars. Admittedly, she looked a bit silly doing it, but personally I thought she was sending herself up rather than trying to pose earnestly in a sexy way.
You're right, there are people do a lot of charity work or donate without publicity and that's highly commendable. However, bringing attention to situations is immensely valuable to and I don't feel that AJ does this, just to garner positive PR for herself.
I think we'll just have to agree to disagree with regards to AJ's charity work. Personally, I feel that the extent of her committment goes beyond someone who just wants positive PR but that's just my opinion.
As long as she's not abusing young children, adults or causing harm to any creatures, I don't care what she does or doesn't do.
ReplyDeleteI read in the National Enquirer that Angie did the leg thing because apparently Brad and George are always going on about Stacy Keibler's long legs, so Angelina made her leg news. Makes sense to me.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking somewhat along the lines of @krab...
ReplyDeleteMaybe there was money on whether she would do it or not. My friends and I bet each other on stupid things like this all the time.
Also, it could have been a sign to someone-- like Carol Burnett used to do. Granted it was not subtle, but that was obviously the intent.
She looked really awkward, like she almost forgot to strike her pose, then quickly stuck her hip and leg out. I laughed immediately & couldn't believe how funny it was.
ReplyDeleteFor you Angelinies, not everyone is gonna like who you like so don't get all " let's go to war" about it.
@Jeri - yeah, girl, you got it! Lets not get all "LEGGGGS go to war about it!"
ReplyDeleteLOL the stacy keibler thing is really convincing, but I would guess less that it was part of a "bet" with the boys. She probably did it on her own as a statement to try and get some of the attention from the boys back on her.
I'm with lots of you on here....I used to LUVVVVV AJ back since the days of HACKERS. Had a major girl-crush, if you will, on her. Not usually my thing, but there was something about her that was almost creature-like and fascinating.
Now I think she has just been swallowed whole by "the machine" and I was trying to think the other day when it began to happen. I don't follow all the gossip mags etc very well - unless I find some my boyfriend has hidden under his side of the bed, but it seems to me that she started turning weird in all sorts of ways around the time of her mother's death.
I don't know offhand how that coincides with the whole Mr/Mrs Smith thing or Brad & Jen, but she seemed to just fall off a cliff after that happened, and I notice no one else really mentions that. She has had contentious issues with both of her parents and had just reunited in a big way with her mother and things were going great when cancer hit like a meteorite and then her mother was gone. Now i feel like she is just a shell of her former self and she is lost in outer space. If what HIMMMM says about her and the pain patches is true, I wouldn't be surprised, unfortunately.
I just feel sorry for the kids. I have had a similar experience with dogs, and now that I have 3, it seems like there is never enough time for each one of them one-on-one, and they are really suffering. i can see it in their eyes. I only imagine it is so much worse and harder with kids! I'm not imagining things either (those of you who have kids) because I remember it like it was yesterday when my brother was born and I was no longer the favorite. I love my brother to death, but that moment is earth shattering.
I worry angelina is trying to fill some major voids in her life with a few too many children. It's hard to have enough time to spend with them so they can feel loved, needed, wanted, and secure in themselves.
