Doing Saintly Things
Filed under: Angelina Jolie > Inspiration
How can you not love this woman????
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has flown to Iraq to witness firsthand the humanitarian crisis there, the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR has announced.
Santa Angelina flew from New York to Syria on Monday. In Damascus, she visited a UNHCR registration center and spend hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes.
On Tuesday, the mother of four crossed over to Iraq to meet with 1,200 refugees camped out in a makeshift outpost at the border, because they are unable to leave the country.
"I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners," Jolie said in a statement. "My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq."
Besides her activities for UNHCR, Jolie also met privately with American troops and other multi-national forces in the region.
Giving back to the horny troops!
Jolie's humanitarian efforts have taken her all over the world this year.
More celebrities should be like her!

She tries to hard. I can't fucking stand her. She seems completely fake.
she's a genuine sweetheart, and more people should look up to her and try to do something
It certainly is admirable that she is off raising awareness for all these countries, but I don't think she is an angel. Hardly. What about all the help and aide needed right here? As they say, Charity begins in your own backyard. I truly believe it is at least 50% for "show". You only ever see them with the 3 exotic adopted ones that fit her "image", never the boring, vanilla bio one. I can't wait for the tell all from one of these kids.
Uh, at no time does that statement say that she visited the troops over there. She visited refugees in Syria and then at an IRAQI-RUN REFUGEE CAMP.
How about the Forward Operating Bases in Iraq… where people like my husband live. Wouldn't you consider our lives uprooted with deployments and changes of station?
dam!! she kinda looks like jennifer maniston no?
she look so OLD for her age!
Angie is valuable asset to UNHR, so I am sure she got the same protection as the politicians who had visited Iraq. I am constantly amazed by this woman.
If this is PR purpose, as some claims, that I am sure Angie could have gotten PR elsewhere. She didn't have to go to Iraq to get it.
Placing herself in a dangerous places is not being a bad mom. In fact, she is setting a great example for her kids. She is teaching them to be compassionate. As I stated in the first sentence, she has all the protection she needs to feel safe, yet, she is using her fame to publicize Iraqi's plight from their country.
Finally, as many, many, many previous posts have indicated, there has never been proven that Brad cheated on Jen. So, stop with this homewrecker comments, please.
I'm thrilled that she is willing to use her money and celebrity to help, but I can't love her because she is a horrible example to young girls in the U.S. She not only got involved with a married man, but she is practically see-through. Maybe my standards are too high, but I'd like my daughters to pick a different role-model.
Oh Fawna come off it, that's what this site is all about, the ability to leave offensive comments without being judged, if you don't like it get the F off it
Don't like her, don't like her don't like her. Can't make me, can't make me, can't make me. She needs to be doing good since she is a homewrecker. I am a Jenn fan and always will be. Jenn is more beautiful than this wierdo ever thought of being!
Because she is a homewrecking whore!
Jello (#99)—My thoughts exactly! She should invite Sean Penn to go with her too. Two less assholes in the world sounds good.
What sickens me is how oblivious celebrities are to our own American issues. Do you think they understand how difficult it must be to be an average American. Do you think they understand what living paycheck to paycheck means. No because they are so far removed from what reality is. Realilty is that to live in America as a Middle Class American that we live paycheck to paycheck. We live in middle income homes. We get excited when we find a "deal" at TJ Maxx. Crackheads worship these people whom also happen to be common Americans. GAG!! So, why don't these celebrities then take this unappreciated power and use it to work with our government on helping solve issues in our own country. HEALTH CARE! So, that Middle Class Americans can stop living paycheck to paycheck because our Government has lost all control of inflation.
A MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN WHOM JUST RECEIVED A $600 ELECTRIC BILL AND AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE HECK I WILL PAY MY $250 HEALTHCARE INSURANCE THIS MONTH AND COME UP WITH $20,000 TO COVER HEALTHCARE NEEDS THAT I HAVE on top of my one credit card bill, car insurance, my mortgage on my middle income home, basic cable, and the cheapest cell phone plan. I cannot get healthcare coverage either like the illegal residents that live in our country. THIS COUNTRY needs help too. Serious adjusting. Americans needs to stop with their obsession of celebrities and really have care and concern with choosing our next Presidential Candidate.Perhaps Celebrities need to focus on America and begin campaigning on what our REAL issues are in the country they choose to live in. And not to use that power to preach to American but use it campaign - no public words please. Celebritiy worshiping is acting as if Jesus has returned or something
OH Please, she's doing the humanitarian stuff just to get more publicity… Herself alone could save Africa instead of bying million dollars mansion…
Perezhilton,
I love that you bring the good in the good celebrities to light…..I like reading you stuff bcuz I trully believe u have more of an understanding about celebs more than the stupid tabloids and magazines at the store….
angie is simply the most beautiful, and humanitarianan person as a celeb…I love her!!!
how could anyone call this photo gorgeous/hot? !!!!!!! yikes, take your angelina-tinted goggles off peeps! she ain't all that. perez were you like this about kathy griffin when she went to iraq? ehhh????
Yeah right, she probably decided that she wants an Iraqi baby.
Oh Please no. More celebrities should NOT be like her……….
For your information dear Perez, Denzel Washington has being in Irak, not once but few times, but one thing he didn't do was let the press know. He went together with other actors (I don't have the names with me know, but I will post them later)
I think it's great that she cares so much for the Irak refugees and that she meet "privatley" with some USA soldiers. Why privatly? Because she doesn't want people to see her with USA soldiers, that's why. Her thing is "other people" and "other cultures". It would look very bad is she is going to Irak and don';t pay a visit to our soliders, so she conveniently and "privatley visit them.
Another thing, Angelina has 4 chilcren. FOUR CHILDREN. When is she is going to stop for a minute and give a HOME to those children? When?
This women should really seat with a doctor and should work out her issued. Why can't she forgive her father and why can't she give stability to her children and to herself.
She is mental.
Jolie needs some kind of sympathy now that she is seeing the writing on the wall from all these blogs out there.
So this is all a PR ploy to persuade us that she cares for the undeserved.
Look at the lifestyle of her and Pitt. The most expensive yet she goes off to the oppressed pretending that she is all for them.
Its like comparing night and day.
She is a hyprocitte. Sure she has the resources and wealth to go off and do something. So what's the big deal????????
Why dosnt she try to do something here………….there are starving children in america…..and I'm not talking about those fat little kids that get happy meals daily……but real actual poor americans….that could benifit from kindess aswell…….she kinda makes me sick…….its like she gets more publicity for going to forigen locations rather then here…………
She should be admired for all her humanitarian work, but she does have her own children who need her to be a mommy at home.
You wont see any Paps chasing her there. Now that WOULD be good of their film. She really is a brave soul who walks her talk. God Bless our troops!
SHE'S GOTTEN SOME NEGATIVE PRESS LATELY….. LET'S GO TO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY AND HELP PEOPLE….. YA KNOW I'M SURE SHE WON'T GET KIDNAPPED LIKE OTHER AMERICANS BECAUSE SHE HAS HER BIG BODY GAURDS TO PROTECT HER TOO BAD THE BEHEADED AMERICANS BEFORE HER DIDN'T HAVE BODY GAURDS WITH THEM TOO! WHAT CAN I SAY IF IT'S GENUINE.. THEN GOOD FOR HER BUT SHE IS NOT REAL AND SHE IS A HOMEWRECKING SLUT. ADOPTING KIDS IS HER ADDICTION INSTEAD OF SMOKING CRACK OR BEING AN ALCOHOLIC. WHO IS SHE REALLY TRYING TO PROVE SOMETHING TO? US OR HERSELF. FUCK HER!
Doing stuff for the wrong reason. 'Nuff said
if britney was busy taking care of her kids and helping people like Angelina she wouldnt have ANY problems.
that goes to lindsay, etc etc etc
people are SELFISH
THATS WHY THEY ARE FUCKED
Did she take her environmentally friendly helicopter? This woman needs to focus on the impovrished in the US.
Hm….I forgot about the NWO thing.
educate-yourself.org/NWO
I hope she stays safe. It is past midnight in Iraq right now. Wednesday. I'm glad we are just now hearing this and actually I could have waited a few more days to hear it. Angie's safety is in danger when we broadcast where she is. In her role with the UN she will never be travelling to "safe" places. So if we find out after the fact it's better. I love Angelina and I pray she is safe.
What has she actually DONE? A plane ride, a photo op, and "talking," don't cut it for me. When the bony bitch rolls up her sleeves & breaks a few nails digging a well, then I will say "well done."
SO WHAT ARE YOU ANGIE'S PUBLICIST #109… KIM?
Not for nothing…I mean I'm nobody but why not be a humanitarian in YOUR OWN country, and she can be with HER OWN kids, you know like multitask?? And maybe eat something too she sure does not look good. Like she's lived 45 years in 30. Looks haggard. I guess it's drugs, And NO it's not "chasing" the kids they each have a nanny. Unless it's a photo op in NYC then they give the nannies the day off.
LOVE HER!!!
too bad she sucks at life.
stop glorifying the homewrecker! this is the same woman that wore blood around her neck and made out endlessly in the red carpet. make up your mind weirdo!
i despise polisocioecon-aware celebrities without basic morals. did you read the article about her in newsweek in which brad compared talking to her and the woman she played in her recent film as being present for a conversation between fdr and churchill? are people buying this? WHAT?!
ANGELINA HAS NO FRIENDS.
Hey Perez…Angie is never going to acknowledge that your fat ass even exists so quit trying to suck up to her. Why don't you report on the people who do 'good things' for our country like Denzel Washington, etc, who personally paid for a hotel for the families of injured soldiers to stay in. You probably never heard of his kindness and generosity. The difference is everything that bitch does is for the cameras. She's an actress…she gets paid to fool everyone and I guess, especially you…you're such an idiot.
I can never see her in pictures — she is completely obscured by the thick cloud of SMUG she surrounds herself with!
I love the things she does. And for those of you that feel the need to put her down i ask you this, what are you doing to improve the world/ atleast shes trying to make a differance in peoples lives & inspiring other people to want to do nice things for others. more people should want to do what she is doing. She is filthy ritch, shes angelina jolie she doesnt need to be traveling the world to help people, she also does not need the attention but she does it anyways.
I want to know why- with all the time this woman spends in the sun in Africa and Southern Cal, etc. does she NEVER have a tan?! What kind of kick ass sunscreen is she using??? I need to get some!
Good move Jolie, way to redeem yourself. Except you're see through
Who the hell cares about this tool? Go home and be a mother to your numerous kids.
#121.. Angelina didn't go there to entertain Troops like other celebs have done in the past… Jessica Simpson went there to sing in front of US troops.. Robbie Williams went there to crack some jokes.. But Angie went there to help KIDS in need.. She spent time with LOCAL IRAQI KIDS and to me is very sweet, she can easily enjoy her summer lying on a beach naked like Jennifer Aniston, but NO.. Despite being busy with her movies, she actually takes the time to visit those countries that have been invaded by America .. Love Jolie for that!
she blows … do some humanitarian work at home …
TEAM ANISTON.
More celebrities should be like her perez? You mean more celebrities should ruin peoples marraiges and be home wrecking sluts? I dont think so.
She is a self important whore. Besides, megan fox is younger and hotter and just as much of an ass.
She meets with the troops privately because, heaven forbid, she should be seen as pro-troops. She only wants to be SEEN as someone who cares about refugees.
SOMEBODY PLEASE SHOOT THIS WOMAN! SHE SUCKS!
This women is a wreck…She actually can't stand being in one place more than 24 hours!!!!!!…… She used to be addicted to heroin and now she change her addiction, that's all.
She is so totally irresponsible that it's scary! Four children and the innability to give them shelter, a real bed, a real place they can call home. Her oldest son is now 6. He supposed to be in school, not in a permanent vacation.
Yesterday she was with her children in New York, now she is in Irak, tomorrow in Somalia and the day after in Paris….Creazy bitch!
Can't somebody take her children away from her. She is worst than Britney.
Santa Angelina flew from New York to Syria on Monday. In Damascus, she visited a UNHCR registration center and spend hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes.
____________________________________________________________
Oh please! How can you help these refugees spending hours talking with them? The only way you can help this people is building hospitals and schools, NOT TALKING! I think UN Ambassadors are really IRRILEVANT!
And she doesn't bring attention to Iraq as every television and news paper are already talking about Iraq since a few years.
I don't love her bc she's insincere
I don't love her bc she's insincere
I don't love her bc she's insincere
Angelina Jolie has just proved to be the best human being in Hollywood. She is hot, she is rich and she is very well famous, she doesn't need to do all of this. But she still puts her life in danger and visits those countries. Way to go Angie, the whole world is with you!
she can go home and take care of her own damn family first. home wrecking bitch!
Because she is a friggin' HOMEWRECKER!!!!!
Fast forward oh, about eight years and we will be hearing from her own children about her abandonment of THEM in her efforts to APPEAR to be "Saint Angelina".
Angelina HAD to find a husband to take care of all her kids so she can run around the globe putting out fires. Why doesn't she stay home and take care of her own brood?
#158 BILL
^^
He does NOT speak for me. I hope she gets shot. Like 12 times, so she can't get up. Call me what you will for saying that, its probably true.
saint???????
mmmmmmmmmmmmm
i don't think so
she still f'd billybob and made out with her bro
xoxoxo
clover
fake!!! cunt!!! homewrecker!!! cunt!!! cunt!!!
It's easy not to love her– she's a SKANK w/ a capital "S"
and Brad is a HIMBO.
C;mon guys you know it's true– you were thinking it all along.
All I have to say is that it is fan-freaking-tastic that she CHOSE to go to a war torn country to help the refugees. She only has about 10,000 times more money than all of the brave soldiers who go there not by choice but by obligation I think that everyone should understand indentured servitude before they decide to ride off on their white horses in their shining armor. God bless her for being a humanitarian, but if she really wants to help, why not give up a little of that cash. Maybe sell one of your multi-million dollar homes? Maybe take a first class plane instead of a private jet. She is definitely not the worst celebrity offender, but she is by no means a saint.
No one is more saintly than Angie, yea right. Too much media attention. Sure, fine, dandy, go save a country. I agree with the people who say she is obsessed with media attention. I don't like her. People change, no more blood vials, still she is a freaking weirdo. So what about anything she does anyway.
I volunteer, am I a saint? Riddle me that
I'm afraid what this frighteningly skinny bitch would give to the troops is a bad case of infection.
To #147 - LiL :
You said: " Angelina didn’t go there to entertain Troops like other celebs have done in the past…blah blach blah…she actually takes the time to visit those countries that have been invaded by America"
Oh My God, what a wonderful person Angelina is, so she doesn't gives a shit about our troops but about the people who are "invaded" by America? Is that what you are saying? The bitch is a UN whore with the typical anti-America mentality.
She is so anti-american that she gave birth in Cambodia, so her daughter will not be "american". What a funny this woman is. Like UN, she is also corrupt, damage and hypocritical.
How is she helping the refugees? Talking to them? Really? This trip of Angelina proves again that she doesn't want a real home, that she can stay in one place for long, that she dislike America profoundly and that she again, is capable of lies to self-promote herself.-
She can't stand being in this country for more than 2 weeks. I really wish she will go away for good.
Shame on her.
Gag… Barf… Gag… Barf… It's funny how she cares about people in other countries, but is nothing except a homewrecker here. The more I see her face, the less I can stand her.
Oh and P.S. EAT A CHEESEBURGER.
"Giving back to the horny troops"??? Can you be any more disrespectful? My husband is over there, and I think if he got the opportunity to meet Angie…he'd probably just skip out and get a few extra hours of sleep
What the hell is so saintly about homewrecking and getting film role salaries that are more than the box office gross. Just ask Laura Dern and Jennifer Aniston if she is so saintly. She drove Laura Dern into homewrecking.
Perez, please stop putting this woman on a pedestal! She is a homewrecking hoe and I am so tired of her and Mr. midlife crisis Pitt!
Can Angelina make a stop at Papua New Guinea where family members are burying their AIDs victoms alive out of fear of catching the deadly desease.
This was reported by Fox news and is not a rumour. AIDs victoms should not buried alive for having AIDs! The peoples of New Guinea obviously need help. Thanks.
i agree with most that she's a homewrecker… there is no denying that she does good things for the downtrodden of the world however, that doesn't make her a good person… she's just trying to do something to balance her conscience… she's wrecked more than one home in her day.. and some day that will all come back to her… she's nothing more than a whore in designer clothing!!
Those poor god forsaken iraqis don't even know who this self-serving witch is.
lucky them.
Oh please—-she just needs to leave the country now and then to meet up with her female lovers.
There are so many people that do great and wonderful things like give to charities, help the hungry, help the sick, etc. etc. The big difference is that they don't alert the press and stage photo ops for publicity to make themselves look good. Angie, as always, is a hypocrite - saying one thing and doing another. Abhors violence and stands against it, but stars in movies full of violence and has a war themed birthday party for Maddox. Wants to conserve the planet and spouts off about it, yet flies by helicoptor and private jets, etc. Angie does everything for Angie - all for publicity and fame., says she wants to help Maddox's home country and publicly sets up a charity to help those people, yet never gives them a dime…..etc…etc….etc…
If the magazines were to do photo ops & articles of all the people doing good things for people, there would be no trees left. There are so many people who do far more good things than Angelina and they do it WITHOUT PUBLICITY - she is a photo op waiting to happen and gets paid big bucks each one.
The REAL HEROES are those who do good deeds without getting paid for it, and without alerting the world to what they are doing. They actually do it for the RIGHT REASON!
OMG, why don't you sale your billion dollar homes and help the family of the troops or stop half of the world hunger I mean WTF you make millions live in multimillion dollar homes and go to a poor starving kid to say awwww I feel sorry for you! Ciao I have to go make a movie for another 8 million dollars, go fuck your self with that fake shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE TRUTH: i think she caught some disease from visiting all these third world countries, and THAT is why she is rapidly losing weight.
#157 - Bill says:
"Angelina Jolie has just proved to be the best human being in Hollywood."
NO, BILL, SHE IS THE BEST HUMAN BEING IN THE WORLD, SHE IS BETTER THAN JESUS. LET US PRAY TO HER LIKE A GOD
And if any of us little people volunteer and try to make a difference, it don't mean shit.
but it prob didn't stop her from being gangbanged by a dozen or so soldiers. you go boys!
A woman who wrecked her own marriage ANISTON, who keeps blaming her failure to others and milking her divorce for her dying career, vs. Oscar-winning thespian and mother of 4, Angelina who puts her TIME and MONEY to what she believes in, helping the world's needy. Brad's choice is clear. He was RIGHT! Well done, Brad!
She does do good things and I like her for that but it doesn't change the fact that she's a home wrecker. Once a home wrcker always a home wrecker!
Oh and all your haters, dumpees chanting "homewrecker", try exposing your butt like your champion of dumped woman MISS Aniston. Maybe your man will come back LOL! (NOT) Look hard onto yourself and find the reason why your man left you. Aniston hasn't.
She is just a a fucking fakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Why can't everyone get over the Anniston-Pitt marriage it is over. And can't you see why? Anniston is just a spoiled celebrity who does nothing for anyone but herself. Angelina has put herself outhere and used her celebrity to bring awareness to the wrongs in this world. And for all of you that criticize that she is not working at home, did you not see Pitt working in New Orleans as he has been. My guess is he really wanted more depth in his life then Anniston wanted and they parted ways……..unfortunately we need celebrities to work causes people listen and the average American is too lazy to get up and do something about all the injustice in this world. Wake up, read, do research and start fighting the fight instead of criticizing those that do!
She has to be the BLANDEST, MOST BORING woman on the planet since Gwyneth Paltrow…
Its really easy to not like her. She is flying across the globe to watch people work. wow
umm…."how can u not love this woman??" well….shes a freakin homewrecker…thats how. shes a dirty hoe…whether shes doing saintly things or not. i absolutely hate her and her disgusting lips.
team aniston bitches.
It's hilarious how ppl. are hating on her. Team Aniston MY ASS!!! lol She hasn't done SHIT! Angelina and Brad are at least trying to help the world. Yeah, we need help in the US as well but there are way too many crooks in this country to trust… Plus, it's their hard earned money and they can do as they please with it. No one is innocent. If y'all won the lottery tomorrow what's the 1st thing you would think about buying? would you buy an expansive car or feed a city????? Yeah, the car would be ANYONE'S 1st thought of choice. I'm glad to see that some rich ppl. do find GREAT things to do for this planet. There are ppl who are waaaay worse than here in the US so I think they're doing a great deed. No matter what country we're from…. we're all humans and helping another human being is something to be proud of. Go JOLIE-PITT!!!! I hope it rubs off on other famous ppl. as we could make such a big difference if they all chipped in and found a common goal no matter the race, color or sex.
yucccccccccccccck
homewrecker HO!!!!
she can never make up for all the harm she's done,, she's a nasty skank that loves her brother in a way that will reserve her a place in hell
yuckk!!
More should be like her??? You mean leave a husband and 4 kids behind while she jet sets all over the world??
She works so hard! No wonder she is so skinny!
What the hell is so great about Jennifer Aniston???????? Stop thinking she's RACHEL…. SHE'S NOT!
She's almost 40 and single…. I say there's something wrong with her….. lol
hate this nasty floosey!!
she is a nasty pukey sick homewrecker
I dont know whether to love her or hate her. She seems to think she is a goddess in modern times flitting around the country putting her face out there for all to see how saintly she is. Honestly…what does she REALLY do? Obviously she doesnt eat or let her kids walk on their own….BUT, she does help the needy 3rd world countries. Dont get me wrong…helping others is all good…but take some time out for your own ever-growing family. You cant be perfect ALL the time Angelina.
All those people calling her a home wrecker - when will you understand you cannot wreck a happy home. It goes to show that Brad must have been unhappy and willing to go to Angie. People separate and divorce all the time so why rag on her constantly. She did not do anything that Brad didn't also want to do. They are a beautiful and loving family and I look forward to seeing their pictures. She is using her celebrity status for good. The paparazzi follow her around like they did with Princess Diana. She does not ask for it. You don't think that they would appreciate some privacy. Imagine how annoying it is to always have a camera up your ass. So Angelina haters, give it up because no matter what you say she is awesome and Brad must love her for a reason. My dream in life is to meet this family one day. So Angie and Brad if you are ever in Niagara-on-the-Lake Ontario be sure to look me up. Bless you Angelina for your new mission in Iraq. If anyone can bring light to what is going on with the innocent it is you.
How about some compassion for married women, Angelina? Is she going to teach her children that cheating is okay? Why do you portray her as a saint?
Angelina is crazy. Adopting a few kids does not make up for years of BAD behavior. I don't understand why celebs with mental health issues can adopt kids when hard working normal citizens have to go through hell to even get on a list.
Go Angie & FUCK the haters who can't see past a marriage that didn't work out (you must have been dumped by someone too - probably because you're so anal).
It's true that one person can't change the world alone, but if that one person could make a difference in someone else's life, then more power to them! And Angie & Brad have been doing a lot more than helping just one person. If all of the celebs put in even a little effort, things would be better for many others.
She is truly inspiring and someone who has used her fame and fortune to help others, not just herself. Shitney, LiLo & Co. should all make an effort. By the way, I still don't see Jennifer Aniston doing anything to help anyone either.
