The Local Slant
May 30th, 2006 by Brangelina news
With the Shiloh blitz in full force all over the web, it’s good to find something close to the source,
The Namibian Newspaper – Local News
... so I open up the comments again and the war picks up where it left off
What do you all think about the $300K and $15K donations?
Here’s a fun exercise: Google “Jolie Charity” and see what you get, then Google “Aniston Charity” and compare the two.

it’s their money and they can do whatever they want with it.
jolie donates a lot, good for her.
if aniston doesn’t make huge donations like jolie, it doesn’t mean she’s an evil or she’s a bad person.
and if someone donates certain amount of money, don’t reveal the amount to other people. u want to do it to help people or just show off!!
I agree with Kayla. Who cares how much Angelina Jolie donates? That doesn’t make Jennifer Aniston a bad person. And who knows? -Jennifer Aniston probably donates money to charity as well but unlike Angelina, She doesn’t want all this attention so she doesn’t make everything as public as Angelina does. She doesn’t become a goodwill ambassador, she doesn’t travel around the world to help people, etc…How does that make her a bad person? Just because she doesn’t go around the world to help people doesn’t mean she doesn’t care, she actually has a life and doesn’t have the time to take so many months out of her schedule to travel the world to “help” people. As if Angelina really does. She just goes there to have her picture taken so she’ll appear as if she cares and as if she’s a saint. Pshh.
it’s funny how Brad Pitt is so different now. he is not himself with angelina HOlie or BLOWlie. Brad Pitt was always that preppy, “cute”, innocent, heart throb, blonde guy. Now that he’s with Angelina, He’s Mr. I-dye-my-hair-black-and-wear-leather-jackets-because-I-think-i’m-cool-i’m-so-tough-now. It’s true, The way He looks, carries himself, talks, walks, and acts is so different. Angelina is turning him into a different person…That’s a sign that they’re not good together; he can’t even be himself around her!
Do you know why “bf” is so bitter? It’s because bf is addicted to drugs and has to suck cock to make money to buy coke with.
bf also likes to eat shit.
Poor bf.
right. so anyway, i’m not on either side and don’t really care about anyone involved but i do find it strange tha angelina brings so much media attention to what she does. i mean, someone like nicole kidman adopted two kids before angelina did, and has worked with UNIFEM for years. she doesn’t go all over the press bragging about it and so no one thinks she’s the saint that most think jolie is. yet she still does it. i think THAT’ being a good person, when you continue to do good works whether you’re given credit for it or not.
I think you are all wrong about AJ. She is not a media whore. She has been giving of her times and money for years without any fanfare. Until her hook up with Brad the media did not follow her around as much. It was the namibian hospital who announced the amount she gave. Just because she and brad are using the spotlight of the papps constantly following them around to their advantage does not make them a media whore. I don’t know too many actresses that have gone into the villages and countries to see how life is for these people. I have never seen Nicole Kidman there…..but that is regardless I like Nicole….but I think you are wrong about AJ.
Welcome to the world Shiloh….love BAMZS
and one more thing i don’t like about jolie
she decided to give birth in africa! the place is shit (no offense) especially for a new born baby. it has lots and lots of disease which are very dangerous, in case jolie doesn’t know, to a baby. and the medical care is not good enough. she got the courage to risk her baby’s health, what kind of mother does that????? we know she loves charity, but the baby should have been her priority in recent months. it’s better to give birth in a clean, healthy environment.
now, that poor baby should defend herself against any viruses, cause (please tell me if i’m wrong about this) i think new born baby has to wait a while before ready to go on a plane and fly to america.
hope the baby not gonna end up like zahara before she was adopted.
What’s up with the weird haters lately? First Angelina, then BF. Too much time on your hands!
In response to Cinnabana: Angelina Jolie has always been credited for helping people even before she got involved with Brad. I think it’s not fair that everybody sees her as a saint when she’s not. It’s true, Nicole Kidman and SO many other people donate massive amounts of money and they adopt children and they don’t get credited and the reason why is because they are not media whores. Nicole Kidman does not brag about her donations and she does not make it public that she is charitable. Angelina Jolie donates money to show off; Okay, she probably cares also but why does she have to tell the world? She should keep it private. I have nothing against Angelina Jolie and i’m not going to insult anybody on this website because I chose to visit this website and it would be pointless to come here and insult Angelina Jolie and her fans because this website is dedicated to her and I respect that. I visit this website just to keep up with celebrity gossip because i’ll admit it’s entertaining but I pretty much agree with all the so called “haters”. Although they were wrong saying Angelina Jolie is ugly. Angelina Jolie may not be as gorgeous as everyone says she is but i’ll hand it to her…She’s pretty.
Angelina has always shown off her charity although almost every rich person does charity, really not just her. But did you notice how much more of it we find in the media since the Mr. & Mrs.Smith accident? I am under impression that it’s now her means of making people think of her better than she deserves. And Anniston is a normal person who hasn’t done anything wrong to anybody, so she doesn’t have to make amends publicly.
I think Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are great people.I salute them for what they are doing and wish for negative thinkers to leave them alone.I hope to get a glance of their growing family someday.I love you Angelina,Brad and kids.And by the way,I think Shiloh is a very cute name.She is going to be very pretty just like her mom.
do you think they’ll send me money? or maybe adopt me? or buy me some lipo?
I don’t care how many babys she adopts or he adopts or how many they have—she is still a slut and he is an idiot—or a male slut—-and Jennifer—well
WHO CARES__I hope I never have to hear about these people again—Please,world start paying attention to really good people who don’t need to cle3an up their image and let the entire freaking world know—just do it and shut-up the rewards are endless
What happened to this website? These are supposed to be their fans. Where’s the love? First, fuck daydreamin for calling Africa shit. Arogant westerners. Have you ever been to Africa?? Angelina should be applouded for the attention she’s bringing to that continent. A place desparately in need of the world’s help. Especially in Darfur (www.savedarfur.org). However, the whole continent is not “shit.” In fact there is a significant financially stable portion of the country, especially in Southern Africa. Do you think the woman had the baby in hut? Her Californian doctor was there too. More over, Africa is currently recieving some of the best doctors in the world because they can do more good there. The child is being cared for. As for the money/media attentin, I do agree that Aniston is not a bad person just b/c she doesn’t get as much attention for what she does or does not do. To each his own. Brangelina were forced to go somewhere they didn’t have o constantly worry about assholes w/ cameras following them every second of the day. Whatever. For true brangelina fans try the site of the same name.
You know what Ana the definition of a media whore is Paris Hilton and her cronies….
Stop hating…..Brad is entitled to be happy with whomever he pleases. AJ has always been one of my favorite actress. I don’t think she changed Brad but he changed her. Brad has evolved into the man he wants to be. So what, if AJ helped him find his path. He would have left JA anyway despite AJ. I am happy that she has found happiness with him and I wish them well.
By the way, Africa is a beautiful country….You should visit it one day. Stop hating.
well the problem here is the entry seems to be chastising aniston for not doing as much charity work as jolie does. the hell! who knows what she does in her life… at least she’s not weird like jolie. she’s a normal person. she shouldn’t be made fun of especially since she’s more of the victim her than anyone else. brad and angelina are happy aight? so leave jennifer out of it.
You’re an idiot, Cinnabana. I have been to Africa and it is a beautiful country. Don’t get me confused with someone else. Although that person has a point, i’ll admit they are ignorant for what they said about Africa. Also, I’m not “hating”. I don’t hate Angelina Jolie, I have no reason to. You should stop obsessing over her and “loving” her, you don’t even know her. She’s a celebrity, why do people care so much about celebrities, especially such fake ones like Angelina Jolie. Worry about your own life.
Ana
Don’t call me a dork….. I know you didn’t say it the message was meant for the previous blogger.
Paris Hilton is not a media whore…..whatever…
and you hating on anjie is cool… damn straight I love her work….and her humanitarian efforts…..grow up.
i meant don’t call me an idiot…sorry….
and you idolizing Paris Hilton what is that…..please little girl ….
And yes angie had a wreid begining according to your standards but where is she now…. a better person and humanitarian….
I’m not hating on Angelina Jolie. Are stupid or what? I told you I don’t hate her. Hating her would be stupid and pointless seeing as I don’t know her personally and even if I did know her personally, I wouldn’t hate her because she did not in any way hurt me or offend me. Also, I didn’t call you a dork. And don’t tell me to grow up. I don’t want to grow up because I am actually very young. I am probably half of your age so no, I shouldn’t grow up. I should enjoy my teen years. I am also happy with my life, thank you very much. Maybe YOU should grow up.
I DIDN’T FUCKING SAY I IDOLIZE PARIS HILTON. PLEASE LEARN TO READ BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME.
you know what I take that back…...you are not idolizing Paris but your lovefest words indicates that you are a fan…..so let me ask you
what has she done to improve the lives of her fellow human beings except for shopping and posing for the cameras…..
At least with Angie the media not only focus on her but her causes….
stop yellling i can hear you….i took the words back
Why do you expect every celebrity to “help” people? Who cares if Paris Hilton didn’t improve the lives of her fellow human beings…It’s not her responsibility. Why would she even have to? It’s not her duity to. She can do whatever she wants. Shopping and posing for cameras does not mean she’s a media whore. So now people can’t even SHOP any more because they’ll be critisised? Okay, so Paris Hilton is spoiled but who the fuck cares? If she has the money then why not? And also who the fuck cares about Angelina Jolie “helping” people. That’s her business and she should keep it to herself. And don’t feed me with the bullshit saying that it’s not Angelina Jolie’s fault that everyone knows about her being charitable. Yeah, so the paparazzi follows her, the journalists stalk her, etc but SHE also talks about it ALL THE TIME. Every interview she has had, She bragged about what a good person she is. There are ways to keep things secret. How do you think all the other celebrities who are in fact more charitable than Angelina and actually give a damn and don’t just want attention hide this? It’s possible.
Forget Paris Hilton for a moment I don’t care what she does with her life…. ….
What ….”she chose to pretend to be incestuous for attention”? Are you referring to the brotherly kiss she gave her brother and that was captured by the media. You know it is common practice in Europe to kiss friends and relatives on the lips….People have weird twisted minds to even think that the kiss was incestuous in anyway.
Personally, I don’t think her life was weird at all but you seemed to think so. As far as I am concerned it is not how you start but how you finish that determines your worth in life and she is worth more than most. So far, she is way ahead of the game….
Clearly, she is not a fan of yours but why come to her fans site to hate on her. You do realize no matter what you say the situation is not going to change. Her and Brad are in committed relationship for as long as it lasts….maybe forever. And now they have a beautiful baby that will connect them for life….
Angie talks about her good deeds because she works for the UNHCR….part of her jobs. She doesn’t talk about herself but about the lives of the impoverished people all over the world. No she doesn’t talk about it all the time the media does. They are fascinated with her, not only for her looks and her good deeds because of her relationships. Oprah, Bill Gates and Bono give of their times and money, and they also brag about it. Do you have a problem with them talking about it also? Regardless, I don’t see the problem of them talking about their good deeds if it is going to bring awareness to the world.
i’ve seen this site for a total of 10 minutes and I’m disgusted.
How could any one of us judge whether someone’s childhood was healthy or ‘troubled’ without actually being there? There are too many abused men, women, and children whose abuse is discredited by some mark on their reputation: think of all the rape victims who are called whores, all the abused women whose husbands are prominent community figures, all the children who were told they were lying when they came forward about clergy abuse. We may doubt a story for various reasons, but if someone is obviously ‘troubled’, there might be a legitimate story behind it.
And to call someone ‘weird’ for suffering through self inflicted abuse! This is a serious psychological problem needing professional help, and whether it is a cry for attention or self-hate or even a desperate need to feel something, it’s nonetheless a real and very sad condition MANY people deal with. NOT WEIRD: SAD.
Finally, for those who say her publicity regarding her work in Africa is an attempt to be liked:
1. For the right or wrong reasons, anyone publicizing their good works ends up getting vitriolic hate mail, like what has been published above. There are obviously more effective ways to be popular, so I doubt this is her end-all goal.
2. Without regard to her motives, it is a fundamentally good thing to open hospitals and donate time and money to the extreme poor. Africa is largely overlooked by those in developed countries. Assuming for a second that she has the right motives, is there ANY way AJ could promote her work without appearing self-righteous? Or do you think she is being self-righteous simply by trying to get other people to care about Africa? I think becoming a UN Ambassador is maybe the most effective way to get people to care about the cause: Africa isn’t HER cause, it’s our global responsibility, which she is willing to promote.
Finally, why do we have to resort to such misogynistic terms like “slut”, “a real-life cocksucking whore, or “ugly bitch”? Why can’t we criticize her with nonabusive, factual evidence to support our positions? Are we really that uncivilized that we have to call the women we dislike such disgusting, irrelevant names? Oh, I’m sorry—it’s ok to call her a whore if you side with Jennifer….NO! People really don’t have a right to treat each other like such shit! No excuses!
To all those against Brangelina, hear ye! You’re all losers and just envious of the couple. No wonder you’re in the etc camp(Vaugniston). That butt-ugly, womanizing, gambling loser is patiently hooking up with chain-smoking bitch slut…To all their pathetic fans, watch their last movie coz it’s definitely gonna be their last, all time flop! Whatever JA does, she can’t match Angie’s prowess acting talent(Academy & Emmy awarded!) and charity works all over the world. Eva Longoria is a bigger star than her. Move on girl
!!....that’s what you’ve asked for anyway. FYI, JA was the first 1 to cheat while filming her flop movie in UK last 2004. Super gentleman Brad don’t want to reveal the truth that’s it’s all long been over between them.
I bet those Brangelina haters are lonely/psychotically depressed, no boyfriends, ugly losers & dumb like Vaughniston. Can’t you accept that the two(Brangelina) are perfect for each etc? That they’re willing to share their love to the whole world esp’ly those needy in Africa.
Hooooorrrrrrraaaaayyyyy
I joined million of fans all over the world to cheer for the lovely family in Namibia….More Power to You
Ana,
I saw the Bravo show…one thing about Angie is that she doesn’t lie. She has always been up front about her past and her relationships. The reason she talks about her childhood, cutting and difficulties is to help others who are suffering. She is letting them know that they don’t have to suffer in silence. She also said during the interview that it was a destructive path for her and she found the help she needed. Her acting help her channel her emotions. Further, people who are suffering have to talk to someone so they can be helped. I am sorry about your situation but I want to encourage you to find help. (I am not trying to be facetious. This is a serious admission.)
Whether you hate her or not? I think you need to go back read what you said about Angie in your posts. Your comments are hateful. Angie is not the problem and you know it. It is about you.
Well, well, it looks like the paid hacks Jennifer Aniston’s publicist are back in full force. I checked this site yesterday morning and there were almost no comments at all. All of sudden voila! 37 comments and replies to most recent posts! Well, you sorry lot, I guess you do have to work double times to fight the barrage of well-wishers and onslought of Brangelina baby news. Why not make your own news and be original? Have Jennifer Aniston make a hit movie maybe? Your camp is pathetic.
While reading this, I thought: “A lot of comments are posted by a professional publicist of Angelina’s in responce to what people write”. But according to Gadfly, it’s the other way round? :) I am not convinced. Every time somebody criticises Angelina, they are told they are mentally or psychologically ill, or at least have no life. For example, somebody nicknamed Laura says: “try going out”. I’m sorry, why should I “try going out”? I am married and I am planning to keep it that way (even if that doesn’t fit your definition of “real people”). America always appeared to me as a country with good family values and I thought it was a good thing. But since Angelina employed the best publicist in the country to talk herself up in front of the nation, media praises a homewretcher to the skies as a result. That’s not good. I think World would be a better place if Angelina didn’t set an example in it. I vote for more decent people and more propper values.
Was just checking out sight to see any news on the baby and it’s such a shame it’s got some strange people on it. I do feel for that Angelina girl leaving those messages, she seems so messed up in the head and the kind of person we’ll all hear about in the news, poor girl! You’re coming accross as really stupid, stop embarrassing yourself, it’s boring! I’m only about 5 to 10 years older than you, but grow up
