"Destination Reading," Brangelina Style

Angelina Jolie AJOLIEBOOK101106_01.jpgWe got a little curious as to which book Angelina Jolie happened to be reading yesterday - as deadly serious as she and Brad seem to take everything, somehow it seemed rather improbable that we'd catch her thumbing through a Grisham! And, true to form, Angie didn't disappoint - check out Amazon's description of Roy Gutman, Anthony Dworkin, and David Rieff's Crimes of War:

More than 140 distinguished experts from the media, military, law, and human rights groups examine recent conflicts in light of international humanitarian law, including: Afghanistan (Patricia Gossman), the Congo (Gerard Prunier), terrorism (Anthony Dworkin), Guantánamo (Mark Huband), Darfur (John Prendergast and Colin Thomas-Jensen), occupation (George Packer), independent contractors (Peter Singer), war and insurgency (John Burns), and detention and interrogation (Dana Priest). Christiane Amanpour writes on Bosnian paramilitaries, Jeremy Bowen on Chechnya, and Gwynne Roberts on Saddam Hussein. Through case studies, definitions of key terms, and explanations of what is legal and what is not—illuminated by 150 stunning duotone photographs—Crimes of War reveals what every citizen should know about war and the law.

Who knew Lara Croft was such a bookworm?

Ok Angie is somewhat of a classy lady and does know how to hold her head high. I've completely changed my opinion. I wonder what it's like dodging the paparazzi all day everyday. Truthfully I do not want to know.

Any actor needs to be educated on what role they are playing. Obviously Angie takes her job serious enough to be just that; educated.
Thank you Brad for being the only actor I've ever heard express himself that his political opinion doesn't matter. Instead of wasting your energy on talking, you and Angie do. Thanks guys.

She is really the only celeb that I like and kinda respect. She is really pretty. I can't say bad things about her.

take more pics of Lindsay and the rest of the idiots like paris and Nicole... no more Angelina.



Posted by: Robert

This looks like a total photo opp!!!

What... she just so happened to be on the 1st page of this book as the accident took place! Give me a break!!!

If she's sooo concerned about peoples rights maybe she should do things for her own country! These celebs are really out of touch!!! If she wants to adopt minority kids we have plenty born in America she can have!!!!

It took her two weeks to get to page four.

Thanks for taking a peek on the book Angie is reeading now. Brad and Angie are really conscious people whose interests are far beyond some people like to limit themselves.

I differ. He never said that. He just wasn´t prepared to express politically when he obviously wasn´t comfortable about it. He is now. And the simple fact he´s expressing himself on social causes, makes him, inevitably express in political standpoints. You cannot separate both sides.

----------------------------------

She is not only educating herself for the roles she plays. Please don´t diminuish her value like that. She´s more than that. She is a concious human being opened to people´s problems and world injustices. Something that some people could learn a lot with her.

Robert... *sighs* That IS really OUT OF TOUCH.

ITA Leila.

BTW, it would be cool if there was a movie about Crimes of War, as suggested above.

Out of touch! Bullshit! These people can't even tell the truth in their OWN LIVES & they think they can fix the world! I guess you don't care about about America either, if you think these kind of hypocrites are the kind of people you should idolize! Stars need to STOP spending their money...that they make in AMERICA on foreign countries!

She's nothing but a SLUT & a liar!

She needs to go back to drinking blood! At least then she was interesting!

My country, thank God, does not have an idiot drunk as a President. So, fuck you!



Posted by: WTF

YOU should be the next one in whom they drop a bomb on! The world would be better without people like YOU, you bastard racist and xenophobe. Put your dear American proud up into your ass. You surely have a lot to be proud of with that idiot that lives in the White House and represents assholes like YOU.

You don't hate Angelina, you are so jealous of the Americans. Opps, forgot to tell you , you are ON the terrorists' hitlist. Go hide and don't come back. OK honey?



Posted by: Anonymous

What makes you think I'm a racist?? Because I think people should adopt kids born in their OWN country! You're ALL too stupid to even understand what you read!!! In case you haven't opened your eyes lately America is full of ALL kinds of people! If she didn't want a white Polynesian kid (like herself) she can find any color & any race born here. We have tons of our OWN homeless kids. Besides sounds like YOUR ALL THE HATES....you have no idea what race I AM!!! What... you think ONLY WHITE people love America!!!



Posted by: Anita

You americans all seem to think the rest of the world looks up to you.. Gess what: WE DONT!!



Posted by: justthefacts

I have never heard so many hate driven people in my life. I personally like and respect Angelina. She has overcome a lot of adversity and become a solid individual. Has it ever occured to any of you that perhaps she doesn't care what any of you think, that she leads her life as she feels fit. This is after all America where we have freedom of speech. Oh wait....is that only if the speech, thoughts and actions agree with what you think. Some freedom. No wonder the United States is in such a bad state. One more thing, why the hell do you think you can get into her mind and know what she went through with her father, her absent father. I know so many people that have had to cut one person or other out of their lives to be able to get on with theirs and recover. Oh wait, I forgot all of you have led impeccible lives with perfect familes and have never made a wrong turn. No more be said. Have a good day and get off the hate.

You´re a scum, biggot and xenophobe. It´s all in you´re speech you wacko. You only look to your own belly button, you´re the shame of Americans, the americans you so proudly praise on your posts, you´re nothing but an asshole and you´re paying a dam bad service to the americans as I still believe the big majority is not like you. At least now, since you have named an asshole like you as President. How does it feel to come up as an idiot who hates everything that is not American according to your own "criteria". HELLO! The world does not revolve around your dear country. Live and learn.



Posted by: SL

Hey Justthefacts, in case you haven´t noticed, there aren´t only haters here. So please rephrase the "All of you" thing. Have a nice day too.



Posted by: justthefacts

SL,you are absolutely correct, I realize now you might think I meant everyone, that was far from the case.



Posted by: An American

America sucks, and 99% of the people in this country are idiots.



Posted by: Jessica

Angelina Jolie is a whore. End of story.



Posted by: justthefacts

Jessica, I don't know about you but I would not want my entire life put out for public scrutiny. Many so called regular people have perhaps had more than one person in their life, would they be considered a whore. I think not. By the way, I am far from perfect, but I know one thing I do not pass judgement, it's not for me to do. I didn't realize there were so many pure and perfect people out there. I thought we were all just human. Continue being the perfect lady you are, but cut us imperfect humans some slack.



Posted by: to jessica

if your a descent person you dont judge someone you dont knowe
im not descent and youre a whore



Posted by: anroue

well every person have their opinion but for me if you hate this girl then dont wrote anything about here, the more you write bad things, is the more you like her...dont criticize people that you dont even know personally if you thnik she not good then leave here alone, sometimes you just have to evaluate yourself maybe you are more worst than her...



Posted by: Booooo

'CRIME OF WHORE'



Posted by: anonymous

why the hate? seems like even reading a book gets you hated.. wow.. you haters are something.. go F*CK yourself!!!

ANGELINA ROCKS!!!



Posted by: anonymous

faking obviously. Anyone reading on the winding and narrow roads of Pune would feel absolutely nauseous. Haha. But good publicity stunt. She's quite calculative. Good for her. I guess its working!



Posted by: justthefacts

The following are the facts about what the organization she is working for is up against and why she gives one third of her money to help them. Laugh away people......what is wrong with you!!!!!!


More than 35 million people in the world today have been forced to run for their lives, and are either temporarily or permanently exiled from their homes. Half of them are children. Roughly 20 million fall under the auspices of the UNHCR and are currently receiving assistance from the agency. Around 12 million live in refugee camps, fleeing persecution, armed conflict, murder, rape, and mutilation. The smaller camps of 200 to 300 people in many cases are essentially whole villages that have fled together. Larger camps can be the size of small cities.

EDUCATE YOURSELVES FOR GODS SAKE

Leila: I just read your post and you´re absolutely right. The person mentioned there is just another arrogant woman/man/whatever that uses to linger on every single B&A forum related and is so power thirsty to the point of spending all day long trying to get in the control of the aforementioned places. Her statement is not innocent.

She should be simply shut down on every single place she tries to get in. enough is enough and she has caused enough trouble already.



Posted by: Leila

SL:
Yeap, she and her "pet", an idiot of 17 years-old that goes by the name of "Steph", whose single ability is complying with whatever "Mother Bitch" barks.



Posted by: Chloe28

You're all nonsense.

Nobody rocks like Angelina!!!!!!
