Angelina -- I Didn't Ban Anyone!

Is today's game of "He said, she said" -- Angelina Jolie vs. FOX News?

Ms. Jolie was on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" last night, where she was asked about the so-called "ban" clamped on press at the premiere of "A Mighty Heart" in NYC on Wednesday. While Jolie admits a memo was indeed drawn up that asked reporters to limit their questions to the film, she says nobody was forced to sign it. She added that her handlers wrote it, but she personally wouldn't have put it out there.

TMZ caught Angie on her way out of the taping and again outside Florence Gould Hall, where she was swarmed by fans, paps and autograph seekers -- again taking time to sign for the crowd.

76. John Edwards also refused to speak to Fox news.

Why do we scrutinize the constitutionality of an actresses press policies, but not our polititcians?

77. It may have come from Angelina's camp but I highly doubt that she drafted up a memo to distribute to the media prior to an event. That's silly!!! She has people who deal with that for her.
If anyone knows anything about negative media fall-out, it's Angelina Jolie! I highly doubt she would force an all-out ban on a major news network. However, since she WAS going to the premiere to promote a film, I don't blame her for not wanting questions raised about her children or common-law husband!

79. Angelina Joile is like a train/car wreck, you can't look away. She is AWESOME from every angle, and that smile....oh my.

I watched Angelina Jolie on Larry King Live and on John Stewart; she is a lovely person and gracious woman. I cannot understand how anybody would have anything mean to say about her; except I hink she needs to gain at least 10 or 15 pounds. Maybe she's pregnant an can't keep anything down, it happens to many women in their first trimester.

To those who say Brad looks unhappy, take off your blinders; neither have ever looked more genuinely happy. After all Angelina's past mistakes, bad choices, and self inflict pain it's wonderful to see her finally secure and happy. She is a strong woman with a sense of purpose in her life. I think she is amazing.
Brad is one lucky bastard; and so is Angelina, she has a man she obviously loves and admires (you can tell by the way she looks at him in photos).

Brad you're a good man, and secure with yourself and your masculinity. stay home as much as you can and help your partner raise the children, they will appreciate all the time you spent with them when they're older.

Only a man with no balls would think that's a bad thing. I can't explain the women who think so also, maybe they've had so many bad men in their lives they no longer recoognize a good one.

Good luck to you both and your ever expanding family. You're lovely people.

80. Brad looks unhappy because he is, he is stuck with a creepy lying attention-whore skank and he can't escape the embarrassment.

81. Anyone else think this is part of her prwhoring campaign?

Anyways, outside of the brangeloonitics, no one likes her or them. O13 barely made 36 mil last weekend. AMH will fail. That DeNiro movie she did failed.

Why is she still being HIRED to do anything Hollywood execs? Paramount, I'm talking to YOU. Shareholders of Paramount need to let Summer Redstone know NOT to keep backing Angie & Brad. It's Paramount's money that is behind Plan B Productions, not Brad's money.

82. OH PLEASE # 79, the woman is an actress. Not a very good one, but she can pull off gracious and lovely for the cameras when neccessary. Brad never seems happy, and it is obvious he knows he made a huge mistake.

83. Sorry, Angie, I'm not a believer. Too many agencies have the same story and it sure isn't the one you're trying to sell.

84. Fox News is the #1 cable news network ... even out-rating ABC,NBC and CBS. It also is "generally" conservative as it airs Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. THAT'S the reason FOX NEWS was banned from Jolie's movie "A Mighty Heart." She and Pitt are ultra-liberal and therefore the ban. Of course Angelina would LIE about it. Doesn't everyone in Hollywood LIE? Film maker Michael Moore extended the truth big time in his anti-Bush films and now "Sicko" is another agenda-ridden fabrication by Moore, who is resembling King Kong more and more each day. I remember when USA Today, another agenda-ridden liberal rag, hired Moore to represent the paper at the last Republican Convention. Republicans were outraged but Bush handled it well. It's real hard to piss off the president. He even looked at Moore and smiled. Moore flashed an L with his fingers for loser, meaning Bush was gonna lose the election. Guess what? Shows ya how wrong you can be, doesn't it Michael? Moore hates everyone who doesn't agree with him. He's the male version of Rosie O'Donnell, another one who makes up stories to undermine Bush. It's part of the Hollywood culture. It's not even Bush, it's anyone conservative or Republican. Anyway, Jolie isn't that much different. She and Brad just try to hide it. They're busy trying to adopt the world. It's their way of getting publicity. Oh, and like I said ... Brad and Angelina banned Fox News, no matter what they say. Remember Pete Rose lied for 13 years about betting on baseball. People adored this guy so much that some would believe anything he said. It's the same situation with celebrities in Hollywood. The difference? Rose was a better ball player than Pitt, Jolie, Clooney or Damon ever will be actors.

85. No offense but what is it with the women brad pitt gets involved with and them dropping tons of weight.

She looks like death warmed over. Did you see the photos of her at cannes film festival. If one small gust of wind came by she would have been swepted into the water. Her arms are fatter than her legs now and Nicole Ritchie at her worse looked better.

She looks old and when you have no weight on you - you get wrinkles. Now her head looks disgusting on her body its huge (as I am sure her ego is after she delibertly went after another womans husband and to seal the deal got herself pregnant to keep him - especially when Jennifer said no babies until we get counseling when she heard about the two of them on the set flirting)

Jennifer was cute when she started friends and was involved with the guy before pitt stop. Cute shape then she lost it all and reshaped her body. Now it makes sense Pitt must require a no ounce of fat zone on his women. I am thin but curvy and dated a guy like that so I know. I was technically underweight when we dated and when I lost more and looked in the mirror and saw what it did to my face I realized I went to far to please that guy.

Women please do not change yourself to keep a man even pitt stop brad.

86. Lily,
Angelina is not just a good actress, she's a great actress.....deal with it. She has an unbelievable screen presence. If you can stand it, watch her in "Playing by Heart", Gia, Girl Interupted, or Orginal Sin....they may not have been box office champs, but they're good films.

As for Brad making a mistake, the mistake would have been passing up the best woman/mother for his children he will ever meet, and she LOVES him. Whatever happens to them as a couple (I'm sure they'll make it), he can be sure the children have a loving, caring person as their mother.

I for one don't care about her behaviour in her twenties when she was obviously lost, and unhappy with herself and life. I like the woman she has become, she is fighter, she is strong, vulnerable, beautiful, and has a compassionate heart....that to me is inspiring.

Brad is a lucky man, he has a partner he doesn't have to hold up. He has a woman that can stand on her own, but doesn't have to because he's there.

87. "Handlers" must get paid a stack of cash to take blame for celebrities!

Posted at 3:25PM on Jun 15th 2007 by HANDLER-to-be

88. Do you people not read? Especially 61....Angelina said herself that the story is true! Her handlers put out the release without her knowledge. She admitted it was excessive. What are you guys debating?

89. I wouldn't trust ANYTHING Fox News said even if it came notorized by Judge Judy!!!

90. If you've ever worked with an attorney for so much as one small thing, you'll be smart enough to know that Angelina is lying her a$$ off as usual. She even said the document didn't require a signature and the Smoking Gun has it on their sign clearly showing that to be a lie. Check it out!
