by Bridge2heaven December 6, 2011 10:47 PM EST: No doubt she is beautiful and what makes her interesting is she possessed an eccentric and mysterious character about her. Regardless, she had used her celebrity status to make a difference in the world.... for that, I salute you Angie, keep tuning out the noises around you and keep on enjoying your beautiful life that you well earned and deserved.; Reply to this comment


by jani0848 December 5, 2011 12:14 AM EST: I think she is living her dream right now and that is wonderful to see. People act out and do "bad" things to themselves when they are in pain. It is clear she loves her family dearly and I even got teary eyed when she talked of her Mom. She is a unique soul and deserves all the happiness she has.....and Wow, she is the most beautiful woman in the world for many reasons and not just her looks.; Reply to this comment

by stellbellwal December 1, 2011 3:07 PM EST: Wow these comments are as lame as the interview. You people would believe someone who told you there's new evidence the earth is flat. A fluff interview is specifically designed to do just that: fluff the airwaves with the look that you want to portray. 60 minutes certainly adhered to all of Angie's wishes to show her in a light she wants to be seen in. Hey girl, sometimes being less than perfect is actually the definition of perfect...

I wish I could get back the 25 minutes of my life I put into watching The Tourist...Jolie barely spoke 5 sentences. I kept waiting for something more than her trying not to move a strand of hair while she kept walking...and walking. Angie - go back to your roots - make another movie that does something more than make you look like a soulless superfreak. A great indie-flick with a real story-line and a character that people can actually relate to. At least you haven't developed a fake accent like Madonna and Johnny Depp yet 'cause thank god that's hella more annoying than any of your movies...; Reply to this comment


by AlishaTV November 30, 2011 10:46 PM EST: Angelina, I look forward to your film. I spent a year in Bosnia as a US Army soldier, carrying an M-16 in one hand and a camera and tripod in the other. I'll never forget the sight of the mass graves, the face of the man who tried to hand me a land mine on the side of the road so I could get rid of it for him nor the tears of the little girl who welled up when I handed her a new package of white socks.
Cheers to you! It seems we are both Living Our Passion & Sharing Our Mother's Legacies!

by peteania November 29, 2011 8:07 PM EST: I know it's her money and she can do whatever she wants but I think she should look to 'home' to help the homeless kids. There is enough for her to do there.

I think Americans should 'boycott' her as she has 'boycotted' American and her own.; Reply to this comment


by xquisit November 29, 2011 7:32 PM EST: I love that she has a bad side, yet knows when to shut it off and show grace and wisdom beyond her years. Her mother did a great job and I have no doubt Angelina and Brad are doing well with their children. It is her bravery I admire the most. She lives life to the fullest and shares with others.; Reply to this comment
