- tekrat, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18I'm sorry but how is a this a slap in the face to anyone? She has made he career, earned millions of dollars ON HER OWN. Now she wants to spend some of her EARNED capital on her children, her husband, and herself. What is wrong with that, other your own personal envy?
I know of over a dozen woman I work with who are doing exactly what you said above for their kids. All but two of them had sex before they were married and got pregnant. About have of them aren't married now. The one of the two willing married a man who she knew wasn't faithful before the ceremony and had 3 kids. The other woman got a divorce because marriage was 'boring.' - jfujita, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18No one cares.

But now it's official. Before, she was just unemployed.
In related news, I too am taking a year off from acting. - jlunski, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14At least she is attempting to do something compared to all the other Hollywood types, she is trying to make a difference in other peoples lives especially children. Granted she isn't the best actress in the world and as stated above she is wicked hot she is also an UN Goodwill Ambassador which is more than I can say for the majority of entertainers.
- tdogg241, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11timusca: I gotta say you're wrong on that. If she wanted to ride her father's coattails to the top, she wouldn't have gone by Jolie in the first place. According to IMDb, the only time she wasn't credited as Angelina Jolie was in "Lookin' to Get Out" in 1982 (when she was 7 years old), and from what I've read, she hasn't even spoken to her father for years.
Nicolas Coppola also changed his name to avoid his success being attributed to his uncle Francis Ford Coppola. You'd know him better as Nicolas Cage. It's not uncommon for actors to change their names so they can actually try to make a name for themselves.
And then there's Paris Hilton. - mach32, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13why stop at one?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -7/+17What's with all the bitterness? Angelia has given more to the world than any of you schmucks will ever do.
She's one of the few celebs that puts her money where her mouth is. I find it astonishing that people call it being "holier than thou" or "elitist" - chris9902, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Africa isn't going to adopt itself dammit.
- EmperorAwesome, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Acid Burn.
- dclowd9901, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13Monkeys with mice, friend. Monkeys with mice.
- kaiser44, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11damn, you sound bitter.
At least she was smart enough to have money before she started having kids, and adopting. - AJH16, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11For what it is worth, I respect her a little more for putting her career on hold (even if there wasn't much to it) to spend time with her family.
- PixelVision, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8I took a year off work once, when I came back I was fired :(
- MateyO, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11@timusca
Um. Yes.
I'm sure you've NEVER had a picture taken at the wrong time. - Cavorticus, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9I wonder why she waited 15 years to announce it?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -7/+13Saw some pics of her the other day and she dose not look healthy at all. Something is wrong with her
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10She has like 3 films coming out A Mighty Heart, Beowulf,and Wanted did a great role in the Good Shepperd with MAtt Damon.
She has a big trilogy coming up her and Brad Pitt are doing at the end of 2008 called Atlas Shrugged http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged
With all her charity work and wanting to spend more time with her kids and husband. And the recent kidnapping plot affair on here it has taken it's toll. Plus she has plenty of money, she can afford it. With all you nay sayers and haters you think you would all be cheering. To here you all groan tells me her demand is warranted. Making you all look stupid for running her down !
Back up what your saying next time before you run your mouth - devmode, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6"While I agree with everything you said, I have to correct you on this... she made her career and earned millions of dollars on the coat-tales of her father. She changed her name so it wouldn't look like she did, but let's face it. We all know who she is..."
She road the coat-tales of her hotness; I don't care who her dad is. I care that she is hot.... I would care if her Mom was hot though. - LordBalderdash, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6She didn't create the Cult of Celebrity so it's a bit stupid to blame her for being fairly rich and famous.
Unlike the vast majority who've reached that status she's used her celebrity to try to make a difference in the world when she could have been spending that time and effort to make more money.
Now she wants to spend some well-earned time to be with her family, and instead of being held up an an example of what celebrities should do more often, she gets mocked.
The jealous and bitter crowd is out in abundance today. - TyphoidTimmy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7I have to agree here. Angelina may be a flake and a bit weird in the 'collecting the 3rd world baby set' but she is signifigantly trying to use her star power for a good cause in humanitarian aids. When's the last time you seen any of the new set of women actresses out there in the middle of Africa or at the United Nations working for a cause she has no connection too?
As far as her acting chops, there is MUCH MUCH worse out there in terms of range and delivering a reasonable believability. Plus, she has no qualms about getting butt naked if the role calls for it....and Gia did. Hooray for boobies.
Thats pretty cool she is doing things to raise the kids. How many of you know parents that have the ability to leave work for extended periods of time actually take advantage of it? Not a lot in this day and age. - mywhitenoise, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6don't forget making out with her brother.
- philz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4S.T.A.L.K.E.R?
;-) - ericdano, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8If you started making Porn I'd care......otherwise..........
- ChayD, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I'm not one to play devil's advocate, but does anyone actually *know* Angelina personally
enough to justify slating her? Not that I'm a big fan of celebrity in general, but these are actually people
under discussion here. - timusca, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8Really? You think THIS is hot?!

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/paramount_pictures/lara_croft__tomb_raider/angelina_jolie/tombpress.jpg - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7In other news, Madonna has announced she is picking up the slack by adopting Malaysia.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5That's the other clown, Jessica Alba.
- 15charmaxwtf, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4It's the entertainment > celebrity section. You can use the customize feature to remove it.
- eamonchaney, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2hehe M.A.Y.B.E......
- Leomarth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2IMDB has her doing Atlas Shrugged. I hope she actually does it! I'd love to see that movie, and I'd love to see her in it.
- machambi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3i would take a few decades off work if i had the money.
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -1/+3It looks like there are a lot of Angelina Jolie haters on this site. They're probably the ones digging the story up.
- tdogg241, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Looks like Rachel Weisz is taking over the role of Ava (the part Jolie was likely to take).
- humperdeath, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4@diggan8, as soon as I saw this headline, it was also my immediate thought. She's been off acting since the first tomb raider movie. (Mr &Mrs Smith was pretty good, only because of Brad Pitt)
- echinda, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3People in the US should be pushing the politicians for more benefits if they think taking a year off from work to spend time with your kids is so remarkable. In Canada, as long as they work 600 hours in the 52 previous weeks, pregnant women get 50 weeks on employment insurance when they have a kid and an adoptive parent gets 35 weeks - whether they are a celebrity or not.
- manual, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2best Jolie quote ever!
“Raising a family of this size is not as hard as I thought it would be,”
said Jolie in a recent interview with Esquire. “It’s amazing how much energy
I still have every day even though I do get exhausted watching our nanny
take care of the children. She is so good.” - MentalHygiene, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Buried as inaccurate.
AJ is exchanging her movie gigs for the mother gig. When *doesn't* that bitch act? - rnwen2750, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1http://portal.grandecom.net/news/read.php?id=15024629&ps=1016&cat=&cps=0&lang=en
