As a United Nations ambassador, Angelina Jolie often travels to some of the worst places on earth, sometimes at great personal risk, and these trips are becoming more and more troubling for her boyfriend Brad Pitt. Now Jolie admits those fears were almost realized. She tells a London paper that there was a recent plot to kidnap her, and it was only foiled at the last minute. Jolie says:
"It was in a small village. I won't say where, or with whom, but some gangsters planned to kidnap me and extort a massive ransom. I was warned at the last minute, and managed to escape, luckily."
Despite this, Jolie says she has no intention of curbing her trips to global hotspots.
"I don't want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood, but I want to help where there is poverty and destruction. I love Brad very much and on our trips we pull together as a team. Things only get difficult when it affects our children."
Wow this chick is like one of the damned Super Friends, traveling wherever it sucks to see if she can help. I kinda do the same thing in my home movies starring my stuffed animals and my rocket ship made up of a recliner tipped backwards. We sometimes “gotta get outa here” because it “looks like we got company”. Does that make me a hero, like Angelina? Yes. Yes it does. The greatest hero of all, some would say.
I see somebody’s spellcheck isn’t working this morning.
Ah nevermind, you fixed it. Quick work Batman!
boy, i’m glad Angelina escaped from those gangsters (sarcasm). I would have gladly contributed to the ransom to get her back though (double sarcasm)
When you have EVERYTHING and you go on crusades to countries where people have NOTHING its pretty obvious this kinda shit will happen…not that i care.
Being kidnapped in a 3rd World shit-hole village would have been sweet irony as she races around the 3rd World gathering up small children for her personal collection.
I’m not going to say that how she “helps” is pointless….but….how she helps is pointless. What does she do? She goes and walks around villages. Wow, that’s helpful. I’m sure your mere presence is going to cure AIDS and feed the hungry. If she actually wants to make a difference, she should do something useful….go to Alabama, and actually do some work on a project for Habitat For Humanity, or something. Don’t stand in front of dying Africans while you wash your hair with bottled water.
…and when I say “gathering”, I mean kidnapping.
mamma…feed me.
Want to bet Jennifer Aniston was behind the plan?
a certain washed-up pop singer may have had a hand in the plot too “More orphans for me!” she said in a faux-British accent.
Juan: Maniston is too busy trying to kidnap ‘ a man’ or indeed ‘any man’ who will stick around for more than 3 seconds… Poor bitch.
Maniston should try abducting a career.
But if Angelina wasn’t around anymore Jen could just take her place like in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. She’d get Brad and the kids and then everything would be perfect.
Buck 9:48: when you give 52 million dollars to the UNHCR write back and I’ll stop thinking your f’ing moron, Until then keep talking.
I realize I’m going to sound ethnocentric and prejudiced here, but can’t she find someplace in the US where people need help? How about all the homeless, the crack babies and the victims of disasters? I wonder how much money she spends jetting all over the world. If you really want to play Mother Teresa (and despite her words, she most certainly does), you help EVERYONE, not just people in impoverished Third World–oops, excuse me while I become politcally correct–Developing Nations.
Actually, Buck, if you gave $52mm to UNHCR, you would be a fucking moron.
What a self important bitch
Jolie is the female-Hollywood version of a wigger: She’s already got (read: absucted) black children, she’s got big ass ubangi lips, she’s a single mother (give it a few months)….
Angelina can do whatever she likes wherever she wants, but it would nice if she would keep it all a secret.
Brad Pitt is just scared that Angelina’s gonna get iced and he’s gonna be stuck with a house full of brown kids that he can’t get rid of without looking bad :P
