I would like to address one subject, though. And that is Angelina Jolie. As far as I can remember, I have never seen a single one of her performances. However, I have had the pleasure of meeting her on more than one occasion, and she is 100% down to earth, sweet, funny, and absolutely gracious. On a side note, her mother was one of the sweetest people I have had the opportunity to know.

Maybe Angelina's persona and the way she is portrayed in the press grates on some of you. It happens.

She isn't a bad person. In fact, she is a lovely and kind human being. She always has been to me, anyway. And she has never had any reason to kiss up to me or put on an act.

She's the real deal.

The media portrayal of people is not always reality.

Well, that means something. Honestly, the only thing most of us have is the public image to go by. I'm not crazy about her persona, but as I mentioned, the things she does in terms of charity are absolutely 100% commendable. I can't see how anyone could find fault when some of those celebs just shop and show off their splendor. Since you have personally met her and say she is sweet, etc, I believe you. She's probably shy and not concerned about coming off as personable or charming. Good for her and thank you for the info!! BTW, her mother was absolutely stunning. As pretty as Angelina is, her mother was, like, 10 times more gorgeous from what I saw...

That's so cool to hear about Angelina Jolie, Sparky. I've actually always liked her (never much of a fan of Jen to tell the truth), I think the work she does is incredible and although she gets lots of press for it, it would be hard not to considering how famous she is and who she's married to. Plus, she's Goodwill Ambassador for the UN so it's kinda part of the job description to get publicity for it.
I do think she's a great actress too, her performance in Changeling is particularly good, she definitely deserved her Oscar nomination for it.

I'm more annoyed by celebrities who are famous for being famous really but I understand how people get sick and tired of stars like Angelina and Brad when they're in the press all the time. I'm sure even they get sick of seeing themselves in the press.

yeah I get annoyed by celebrities who are famous for being famous. Not like the two princes but more the ones who love the attention. William and Harry are the kind who hate the attention but the paris hilton types. I remember when there were news stories that Britney wanted to date william or was dating him or something and it was like *facepalm* cause I knew them a little back then (they had stayed at our place and met them a few times when they would come to Scotland and I knew william a bit at university cause we already knew a little of each other and had a few classes together) and he was soooo not into that, he was kind of dorky and it was just ridiculous (Harry was much more fun to get along with and he might have found it kind of funny though). And the difference between those celebrities like paris and britney, and then Angelina is that they go out to be spotted and photographed and put in magazines while photos of her are always candid paparazzi ones that she'd probably rather weren't taken, she doesn't go out for attention otherthan when its for charity.
