Angelina Jolie Worship Run Amuck

So where do we start with Angie's celeb worship? "Angelina Jolie Dies for Our Sins," screams Esquire. "A very beautiful woman who sees herself as the underdog becomes very famous. Because of her fame, she suffers. Because of her suffering, she becomes even more famous. Then she becomes virtuous. Very, very virtuous, blah, blah, blah Tom Junod writes.Ron Rosenbaum of Slate was not impressed, "In the history of fawning gentlemen's-magazine profiles," Rosenbaum wrote last week in the online magazine Slate, "there is unlikely to be a more ludicrous example than the profile in the July Esquire of -- yes -- Angelina Jolie, which spends many thousands of words ( about six thousand) and invokes grave national tragedies to prove to us that Angelina Jolie is not just a good woman, not just an enlightened humanitarian, not just a suffering victim of celebrity, not just strong and brave, but, we are told, 'the best woman in the world.' "Why is Rosenbaum outraged? Read this: "In post-9/11 America, Angelina Jolie is the best woman in the world because she is the most famous woman in the world -- because she is not like you and me." Uh-huh. Jolie tries to play it up bigger than she is, and she thrived on that for a while.She travels the world extensively in private jets, lives in multi-million dollar homes and lectures on poverty.She charges millions for photos of her latest adopt an orphan program and then heads to work on yet another film and hands the third world child off to a nanny. The hypocrisy is thick.
I watched her latest film hoping for the "Oscar Winning"performance the movie reviewers of the world had promised.If she is even nominated for that performance it will be only for the type of worship put forth by so many writers including Junod. But somewhere along the way it appears that her adoring public has abandoned her.She once held mystery. How did Jolie steal Brad Pitt away from America's sweetheart Jennifer Aniston? Oh how the mighty hypocrite has fallen.

I think you better check your facts before you go bashing Angelina. It''s that simple.

It is so obvious that you are jealous of her too. What kind of a reporter are you? She didn''t steal anyone away, brad and jen were at odds in their relationship before these two hooked up. You just ruined any shred of credibility you may have hoped for as a reporter/writer with this blog!
