Does Angelina Jolie really believe that anyone is buying this?

By Maureen Callahan July 26, 2017

Angelina Jolie, master media manipulator, is back.

A quick recap: After Jolie suddenly filed for divorce from Brad Pitt last September, leaks hit TMZ nearly every five minutes, and they seemed to come from one side only. Pitt was a heavy drinker. He cheated on Jolie with a co-star and — one of the weirdest details ever — Russian hookers. He used hard drugs. He had rage issues. He’d abused one of their six children on a private plane. While refueling in the Midwest, an out-of-control Pitt hijacked a fuel truck.

These details were epic, fantastical, and largely disbelieved. In fact, the leaks only bolstered Pitt’s standing in Hollywood, and in his first public appearance since the split, Pitt received a standing ovation at January’s Golden Globes. “Moonlight,” a film he produced, won Best Picture at this year’s Oscars.

In May, he sat for a confessional cover story with GQ Style, and as these things go, it was tonally smart: Pitt came off as humbled and apologetic. He admitted he had a drinking problem. He spoke of wanting to be a better father and a better man. The only real misstep was a goofy accompanying video in which Pitt, dressed in $700 shirts, rolled around in sand dunes and cried at a campfire.

Now it’s Jolie’s turn, and she’s chosen Vanity Fair’s prestigious September Style issue for her rebranding. “This is a proper icon claiming her place in the firmament of Hollywood,” said VF’s Jessica Diehl.

Actually, the spread is more in line with super-producer Scott Rudin’s assessment of Jolie as “camp event.”

As an actress, it’s been years since she was top choice for Oscar bait. Jolie’s tried to establish herself as a director since 2011, yet each successive film — “In the Land of Milk and Honey,” “Unbroken,” “By the Sea” — has flopped harder than the last. In VF, she’s ostensibly promoting her next project, a Netflix drama about the Cambodian genocide, but what she’s really trying to sell is Angelina 4.0.

The first Angie was a bisexual, heroin-using wild child who wore blood vials. The second was an adoptive single mother-turned-humanitarian. The third was one-half of Brangelina, globetrotting parents of six and Hollywood’s last great glamour couple.

Angelina 4.0 is now a harried single mom, fresh off a divorce, finally installed in a new home after nine months of living out of suitcases in a rental. So grim. Almost as grim as Pitt’s claim that, post-split, he spent almost two months sleeping on a friend’s floor, as multimillionaire A-listers are wont to do.

Jolie walked VF’s Evgenia Peretz around her new home, which just happens to be a $25 million mansion once owned by Cecil B. DeMille. Jolie told the magazine she didn’t want the house for its heritage or glamour — she just needed “a good place fast.” She hasn’t unpacked. She hasn’t had time to buy furniture — her friend, a set decorator, thoughtfully bought two sofas and some throw pillows for the living room, which her dog promptly soiled. No matter; she’s cool.

“I didn’t even know I needed throw pillows,” Jolie said. “That was always Brad’s thing.” Jolie, instead, was off saving the world, but now she’s balancing that with parenting alone. She has to schedule doctor’s appointments, playdates, meals . . . All says the woman who, according to a 2011 Forbes article, spent $900,000 per year on nannies for each child and over $1 million on private tutors.

Apparently, Peretz didn’t see any household help. She was, however, introduced to Jolie’s children, something Jolie has rarely done. “I don’t let a lot of reporters meet my children,” she told VF in 2005, just as Pitt was leaving first wife Jennifer Aniston for her. “I don’t trust the relationship.”

Peretz meets Zahara, Vivienne, Shiloh and Knox, who asks Jolie for a waterslide. “How about a ‘Hello, Mom’?” she says, her tone, Peretz writes, “like just about every other loving, exasperated mom in America.”

“I’ve been trying for months to be really good at just being a homemaker and picking up dog poop,” Jolie says. Nothing says that like posing next to a fashion photographer in an astronaut suit on the Warner Bros. lot.

Since the split, Jolie tells the magazine, she cries in the shower, so the kids won’t see, because they need to believe everything will work out, even though she’s not so sure — though they’ll surely find out once they read this.

Trying to be the perfect single mom, Jolie says, gave her Bell’s palsy. “Sometimes women in families put themselves last,” she says, before admitting that even though her teenagers would rather stay home and watch TV, she’ll keep dragging them to hot spots and war zones around the world. Hey, it’s what she needs.

Still, Angelina Jolie insists she’s descended from Brangelina’s epic heights. She’s earthbound now.

“As I go to sleep at night,” she said, “I think, Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?”

Here’s another question: Is anyone really buying this? Jolie spent so many years in the Brangelina bubble that she’s totally out of step with the culture. We’ve all seen behind the curtain. We’re familiar with enough celebrity apparatus to recognize staged paparazzi photos and fake scandals. We watch scripted reality TV. We broadcast airbrushed versions of our lives on social media. On the internet, anyone can be a star.

Yet Jolie seems to believe we’re still in the Old Hollywood era. It’s reflected in her photo spread: She looks like a supporting player in Ryan Murphy’s “Feud,” not a modern celebrity. She’s become Norma Desmond, a movie star who still thinks she’s backed by a studio system, packaging a tidy narrative in a glossy magazine that she’s convinced the public will believe.

Nice close-ups, though.

How much photoshop she has? lol She still looks evil. Now she plays victim card. poor Angelina. lol.

Manipulative shrew springs to mind...

Angie is nuts and this story is total BS!

Even micromanaging how her dad interacts with the kids. She's a nightmare.

She also says in it that its important to cry in the shower, so the children don't worry, yet she has told us in the past that the kids take care of her. She's made them responsible for her emotional wellbeing. She needs to grasp that a pap stroll is not "owning her side of the street". She still takes no responsibility for her own actions, claiming their nomadic lifestyle had no impact on the divorce. If that was true, Brad and or the Judge wouldn't have grounded her in LA. Essentially, the whole thing is just an ego massage whilst she gets to think she looks saintly and blameless. She has no concept of reality

People only tolerated Jolie because of Brad otherwise, she would have been a nobody long ago!

As soon as these people have a new movie coming out, they're start talking about their private lives. Otherwise they demand privacy.

Marriage is difficult. Single parenthood is difficult. Life is difficult. Get over yourself. You've had a cake walk compared to the vast majority of humans on the planet.

She is such a miserable person, make other miserable too

Aw poor Hollywood baby. Things got difficult. Welcome to marriage. Only the strong survive.

She's not garnering much sympathy here..

There is nothing genuine about her, it is all manipulating and calculating.

The backslash on her went hard, now she is doing damage control , lame

Disgusting behaviour. Those kids will be so traumatised

What a complete and utter tos-ser all for the sake of a film... She really is a disgusting excuse for a human being. I hope the film gets boycotted on release.

She is not the sweet person she would have us all believe she is. How cruel can she get?

Not the angelic person she likes to make out. Would it have hurt her bank balance to give the kids she auditioned a few hundred dollars? I think not.

Jolie and the casting director’s choices shocked and outraged many ― especially with the “game” the directors played with orphans and disadvantaged children. Critics called the casting game cruel and exploitative. Some labeled it a form of emotional abuse.

'I didn't even know what throw pillows were'..... call BS...like the rest of her. ...you've never cooked for your 6 kids...wow really..pretty sad lady.

I cooked my first meal, consisting of meatballs and macaroni, when I was 11. How can a grown woman not know how to cook?

She should have learned how to cook and household chores when she and Brad were still together..it feels terrible knowing she never cooks for Brad and the kids..

A house is not a home, the people in it make it a home,big or small. Perhaps she should make sure they have a relationship ,with their father,or in a few years they will be writing books on what their life was like.

I still don't like her. She seems manipulative. And how can you never cook for your kids in 15 years?

How much can you brag about this house? She's a sick narcissistic scarecrow. Will this PR shark ever stop? No, but when it's all gone, she go away. ]

She LOVES to spin stories. It's her thing.

Omg. All that fame and fortune, and she doesn't know how to cook? Wtf? Hahahahaha. God almighty. Heard it all now. Can she read? Suggestion dear: get a book, (you have a library so I assume you know what a book looks like) and follow the instructions. Incredible.

I can easily imagine her living in squalor akin to a frat house if left on her own. Without hired help, her home would probably be a sty, as I've read it wasn't that tidy when she and Brad were still together due to the children's rubbish strewn all over. Throw pillows a bad joke because most sofas come with them.

How can a mum to 6 kids not know how to cook. Really?

what humanitarian buys a home worth 25 million and squander money on things whihc are so materialistic. Real humanitarians of course have their things but she is just living the high life and pretending to care about the poor when she does not

If decorating and doing house stuff was Brad's thing that's just another reason to love him. Nothing sexier than a handyman.

i have a strong suspicion that she isn't the darling wife/mom/daughter/actress that she want the public to think she is.

"Mommy Dearest"

The Pitts were wonderful friends to the city of New Orleans. We were all sorry when they separated and sold their beautiful home here in the Quarter. They were a lovely, fun family as they roamed the streets together.

She's not very motherly, so Brad did it all. Cook, take care of the kids, try to enact bedtimes and normal rules that most parents have their kids live by. He's a conventional parent, she is definitely not.

She is clearly the parent who tries to be 'cool' and let's her kids get away with anything and everything

She is just not a home person..surprise.

She's an official weirdo and media manipulator, I wouldn't believe a word she says.

She and Brad had very different upbringings. He grew up in a strict Christian household in Missouri and she was the daughter of a movie star. I had always heard that he was more of the disciplinarian and tried to keep things together in the household. Some of what Angelina is saying about him doing the decorating and things seems to confirm that.

Ha! She HIRES people to do that stuff while she plays victim

Why sole custody? Jeez, you would think she would realize how much children need their fathers given that she did not see much of her own growing up.

She's a parent in name only apparently.

I remember she once said that she often forgets to eat. How could you forget when you have to also feed 6 kids? The answer is she doesn't take care of them herself, of course.

she was too busy with her career and her UN thingamabob to pay attention to her husband or kids.. Now she found out what a mother does and trying to learn. For her children were like pets you buy them but then forget to care about them after the initial phase has passed.

there is a gauntlet of housekeepers, cooks, nannies, groundskeepers, chauffeurs etc. that take care of that household. Angelina occasionally pops in " kids, can I make u some toast? pour a bowl of cereal." ... consider her statement " the kids wanted me to take cooking classes" probably in hopes they could spend more time with her, cooking requires u to slow down a little bit, hang out in the kitchen as u monitor the progress of the food, then, family gets to sit as a group & enjoy the meal & socialize....maybe something the kids don't often get to do with her . But puhleese don't try to tell us this is a one woman show !!!

Because she's very wealthy and she can afford the luxury of having a private chef...must be nice to be rich.

Bitterness; the silent disease of Angelina.

When one partner (doesn't matter which one) does it all, it is not equality. It appears Angie did nothing in the home.

isn't it funny how she lived a private life while with brad but now that they've split she's giving this really in depth look into their life together? sounds like someone is desperate to stay relevant

She always tries to overcompensate and be perceived as a strong, resilient woman. It sounds fake.

So she's dictating to her father what kind of grandfather he is to be? Don't make them play with you? This woman needs a lot of help.

Poor Angelina the homewrekcer playing a victim. you have reaped what you sowed for destroying so many marriages/relationships. you will never have peace and happiness until you repent and apologize to all your victims. Jen Aniston and Laure Dern to name a few.

She said Knox needs to pretend to be normal and that's what she is doing. She is pretending to be normal.

CERTIFIED NUTS!

Oh dear, it was so pleasant not to see her mag anywhere for a few months. She should have stayed gone!

Total nut case.

What are you talking about? Angelina talked about this in her Vanity Fair interview, these are her own words, Jolie-loon.

And she is an amassador for kids? Really! Vile creature.

just another champagne socialist hypocrite

The UN and her, say's it all really.

Doesn't have a working brain. How disgusting, beyond words.

Brad is well shot of this narcissistic, self-indulgent, talent-less hypocrite and 'virtue signaller'. Go away and polish your tarnished 'halo' ma'm.

I used to really love her but now I just can't stand her!

And she's a "humanitarian" and an ambassador for the UN ? Shameful revolting woman.

Nut.

And she is supposed to be an ambassador for such people.

It's an open secret that she's screwed up.

That is disgusting. I hope this revelation badly damages your earning potential and humanitarian roles.

Rich people indulging in money games with the poorest in society.

Not the only one. All those celebs with their conspicuous consumption and grabbing every dollar, while lecturing the plebs to give, give, give.

Why would you do that? She really is vulgar and vile.

I hope she is dragged though the mud for this. So called peacekeeper and philanthropist. Sick.

She is seriously mentally messed up.

Rich woman plays with poor kids' feelings. How nice of her -.-

So the World UN humanitarian dehumanizes traumatized children for profit. Despicable.

No mention of what happened to the ones who didn't get the part: no doubt their PTSD was worsened and they were left with a deep sense of insecurity and failure as well.

This is the woman who thinks she should have sole custody of her own kids. What sort of mother would give something desperately needed to a child and then take it away again to see the reaction? She is a monster.

She also bragged her film was so realistic older Cambodians thought the regime had come back, and looks like she didn't think this was cruel either.

And then brag about it as if this is normal or sane behaviour

She isn't normal and sane though; she's despicable.

Yeah, because all the other humanitarian ambassadors are sooo much better. The UN special Envoy thing has always been about one thing and one thing only: attention for the ambassador.

It is long past time that her misery tourism was binned by the UN. Everyone knows it is just to elevate her own PR

Her whole UN humanitarian employment is just her way of trying to deflect from the real Angelina Jolie: i.e. The callous and narcissistic individual who treats everyone like crap. No wonder why the whole of Hollywood have completely turned their backs on her.

Of course she isn't, she flies in and dabbles in their lives for the PR and then flies back out to her life of luxury. And this cruel, strange behaviour probably seems quite reasonable to her because she has a diagnosed personality disorder and is a raving narcissist.

Sounds like she's conducting a Milgram-esque experiment not casting for a role. Wicked woman. Maleficent springs to mind...

People are now just starting to realize how sick and twisted she is. Couldn't have them just audition like normal, no she has to play into kids real life traumas. Sadly for the kids who weren't chosen for the role, the snatching away of money was real for them

She's a poverty tourist/voyeur, nothing more. It's disgusting

They got a lucky escape really, she didn't buy them as an accessory to her career, as she's used up in youth, while throwing old pics out to attempt to compete with young girls, her next move was the EU and politics. Oh how she loves you all, this paragon of virtue with devastated men in her wake, she's perfect for the amalgamated mates in the EU, although she'll have a job competing with Macron microbes wife O_o Even this car crash can't compete with that wreckage. Like the guy said when she tried interfering in ME poltiics... 'she's pretty'... well she was as the seductress succubus and we saw what she birthed there. The kids got off lightly if you ask me.

She is a monster, and uses her children as a shield to hide her evilness. No wonder Brad was behaving 'badly'. He couldn't take living with this liar, anymore.

I'm surprised and yet I don't know why I'm surprised. She has always been sadistic, she used to torture and kill her pets. There's something seriously wrong with her.

I always thought Brad Pitt would rue the day he fell for THAT woman. She's not just crazy, she's got a severe mean streak too. No surprise Brad was drinking.

What do u expect she had her own private parts lopped off on a % theory.... She thinks she is so smart but she is just a real dumb

Theres secret tapes of her talking about joining the illuminati and sacrificing animals etc.. I'm really not surprised! It's usually the one that people don't expect to

Omg she wants a pity party SO BAD. This woman is a hypochondriac.

Please.... She's using it as a cover for her plastic surgery addiction and to make it look like Brad treated her badly whilst she was sick. Smoke, mirrors and shade

Come on, it was Botox injections that gave her the Bell's Palsy - happens with some regularity...

Oh, always an illness, when she has a flop or wants to draw attention to herself. I don't believe a word of her. The real illness is in her head.

Bell's Palsy my a$$. As a nurse I know what that looks like and I saw NO pictures to show she was experiencing that. Me thinks the 'strain' is her realizing public sentiment was for her husband - not her.

A convenient self-claimed condition which she conveniently cured herself with acunpunture.

Victim mentality

Oh poor you. Wah wah wah.

She is really trying to win back the sympathy vote huh?

Early menopause? No shyit, she had her ovaries removed. Why are you trying to make it seem like she has so much darn stress. As for her supposed Bells Palsy, get real. Everyone and their mother can see she has tons of fillers and botox in her face. And as for her hypertension, thats what im going through right now reading this attention seeking womans pr nonsense.

Elizabeth Taylor used these tactics years ago - when the press gets bad, get sick, get an operation or something more or less tragic to sway public opinion about her. In Angie's case I don't think it's working.

Attention seeker first class!

What a load of crap.

The Jolie paid trolls have arrived, lol.

So how about her abusing those Cambodian kids? I woul like to read about more that than her lies about cooking or whatever. If we have a hundred articles about this nutjob's interview, DM should address this as well.

She emasculated Brad Pitt - wore him down to a nub.

Learning to cook at 42 seems sad and pointless

I'm sure this comes as no surprise to Brad Pitt and his legal team, the same woman who can so viciously attack the father of her children would have few compunctions about doing what wants no matter who gets hurt. I feel so sorry for her poor children and hope their father's influence will give them strength to overcome their mother's mental issues.

Disgusting behaviour. Those kids will be so traumatised

What a complete and utter tos-ser all for the sake of a film... She really is a disgusting excuse for a human being. I hope the film gets boycotted on release.

She is not the sweet person she would have us all believe she is. How cruel can she get?

Not the angelic person she likes to make out. Would it have hurt her bank balance to give the kids she auditioned a few hundred dollars? I think not.

Extremely sad for a woman who tries hard to present herself as a good mother and a humanitarian. Irony, isn't it?

Pretty sad when your kids ask you to get cooking lessons, but guess if she doesn't eat why should anyone else. Explains all those pap pictures of she and the kids at fast food joints:Brads out of town, how do I feed them?Oh! I know! A true light bulb moment.

Pretty sad when your kids ask you to get cooking lessons, but guess if she doesn't eat why should anyone else. Explains all those pap pictures of she and the kids at fast food joints:Brads out of town, how do I feed them?Oh! I know! A true light bulb moment.

Her PR machine is suddenly in gear again.

This is a disgusting act on her part, I always suspected that her charity is fake, and Jolie herself is very mercantile. This child will have a psychological trauma after the film.

She's a sick woman. Imagine how she treats her own kids. And look how she forced her daughter Shiloh to dress like a boy from 12 months old.

Classless.

This film should have been directed by a Cambodian. If she insisted on directing, she should have filmed in Vietnam instead of, once again, being in bed with former Khmer who committed human atrocities. The fact that she abused these poor kids seems par for her. It's her modis operandi to use and abuse for her own benefit. She stops at nothing to get what she wants.

OMG this is completely crazy! Those poor kids!!! She has something wrong with her.

take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others you narcissist.

This wicked, psychopath and calculating woman is upset she got called out because Vanity Fair described it exactly like she said it. A cruel game played on poor innocent kids.

Hurting other women by destryoing their marriages/relationships by sleeping with their men wasn’t enough for Angelina. We are dealing with a mentally ill, unstable and dysfunctional woman here so am not surprised

Narcissist like Angelina always blame others for her mistakes. It was her own words in that VF interview but she didn’t see anything wrong with the cruel games she played on those kids until she was called out.

Angelina jolie went from being a homewrecker to child abuse. She is a master of media manipulator, cunning and heartless. Not to talk of her being so arrogant and smug and always uses her kids for PR. shame on you for using poor kids and refugees to rehab your image.

It’s not the first time Angelina has taken advantage of people and caused a trail of hurt. Her way of thinking is something I have been wary of. It’s how she came to be in the position she is in. It’s not to say she hasn’t done some good in her life, but the thing I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RESPECT about her is that she damages people’s lives and then holds her hands up and claims innocence. She cannot look at herself objectively and own the ways she manipulates to get whatever she wants to the detriment of others and in VERY UNETHICAL WAYS. She did not have to “play with the devil” to get this film made or to buy her property. She could have gone next door to Vietnam or Thailand to make her film and make it with talented actors who would have been just as good without reinacting with orphans and survivors. This way she could be critical of the prime minister who had a hand in genocide instead of cozying up with him to benefit herself. I shudder when I think of how she got her property in Cambodia. UN Envoy my ass. They are her pals who get her what she wants. Despicable. I actually do try to appreciate the good traits she has and then she does something ‘uncool’ again and I can’t. Then there are the rumors we all know are true…the ladies she mistreated…Jerry Hall, Laura Dern, Uma Thurman, Francesca Annis, Aniston…

Just the thought that a celebrity working with the UN to “help” refugees is using that position to direct and profit from movies is disgusting.She is doing nothing but raising awareness about herself

There is something missing or not right in this woman’s head.

Was beautiful 20 years ago. But is cuckoo for ever. Before saving the rest of the world she and you need to first take care of your own family first. Even her kids seem weird.

damage control

It’s easy to believe the worst when it comes to Angelina Jolie because she has done awful things to so many accomplished, respected and admired people. Publicly trying to destroy the father of her children for the great crime of falling out of love with her? Of all the weird and lunatic stuff she has done, this was the final straw for me. If you can’t put your children’s interests ahead of your own interests then you are a despicable human being.

Angelina Jolie certainly filed for divorce but it’s fairly common knowledge he had already been gone a long time. Although living separately, he never would have filed for divorce because he wanted to protect the kids. Brad Pitt cares more about his kids than his own happiness and he would’ve stayed married to her until the last one left home.
The complete opposite of Angelina, who parades the kids, uses them in her publicity campaigns, and then when her PR machine fails in its quest to promote ‘Saint Angelina’ she makes excuses and statements of outrage. That VF reporter did a great job of exposing a sadly selfish woman who cannot confront her own failings, wrongdoings, and the great harm she has done to colleagues, industry peers, and her own family.

Angelina is a liar, manipulator, and cheat herself. I will not disclose it because it is not my place. She projected her issues and personality traits on to him and then he had to agree to take the blame or admit to a vice, in order to avoid a messy court battle. Brad is not a cheater and he has denied all of those allegations and it is sad that conniving exes operate on smear campaigns to brainwash naive people. She planted false stories about rentboys and hookers as well as make false charges of abuse. Brad has not been passive aggressive, he denied lies and false accusations from opportunistic exes covering up their real selves to the public eye. He has been classy in his restraint and doesn’t play dirty. Taraji never outed them or used the term open relationship but said that they let each other be with other people when asked about jealousy on sets. He was cleared legally and officially from false charges of child abuse. I see a certain person is spreading vitriol in the posts. Any controversy or mess with Jolie, they choose to drag Brad into it with their agenda.

She has made a zoo out of her household. Pretty weird..

"It's surprising that Angelina would use the children to help herself in the story, "...........nothing that woman does could surprise me anymore.

This woman is VILE!!!!! Adopting the world does not make you a great soul!!!!!

She seems like a very selfish person. I have not once heard her accept any responsibility in the falling apart of their marriage. Brad can claim it was his fault but, if he was having problems then part is her fault too. If she really loved him she would have stuck with him and helped him through this, not just say ,ok you have a drinking problem so your gone! I think she has a weird connection with Maddox like she does with her brother and he got jealous and caused this divorce! He stuck with her through her mastectomy and did not throw her away! She should never marry again.

I think Angelina is the one on drugs and alcohol...the kids should be taken away from her.

Angelina Jolie's vengeful plot to 'destroy' Brad Pitt failed so now she's trying to unsubtly hint that he's a monster who caused great mysterious trauma to their family. It's nice that most people see right through her lies, her lack of character and insane behavior over decades has alienated almost everyone. The public knows who the monstrosity is in this family, and it isn't the guy with lots of loving friends, family and colleagues who all admire and respect him. All this pathetic excuse for a woman can do is keep chopping off body parts, try to garner sympathy with temporary minor illness and most criminally, use her children to punish their father for the great sin of falling out of love with their lunatic mother. Heaven help those children, it would be a kindness to involuntarily commit that woman as she continues to wreak havoc on innocent children.

Jolie went off the deep end when she elected to have her breasts removed. Jolie has always been a handful and wild. She did everything to hurt her dad. When women have to have there breast removed is like a man having their privates removed that put them over the edge. Jolie and her friends are most of the problem. She has to be in mental decline when she went back to Billy Bob. All he was looking for was a person to share his bed with. He really shows Jolie's taste in men. She seem to attract losers and mentally  disturbed men. The best thing that ever happened was Pitt. He was the only decent man she ever had.  She may be swing both ways after all she is kind of weird. I feel for Pitt because she blindsided him with a divorce. Jolie is a real mental case and needs some serous help and the kids will show it in the future because she has no rule for them to follow.

I don't think a mother or humanitarian would do such a thing.

This coming from someone who has admitted to occult rituals.

At least they get the attention for the #movie they might wished for. That may is a good thing for #Cambodia's poor #children.

the rich will always find ways of manipulating the poor, and trying to put a spin on it

That's exactly how someone who's really cruel would respond to such an allegation

Impossible, as she is a self proclaimed saint.

What was her UN roll? Children ambassador

You think that Angelina Jolie can't wield enough control over a production to prevent this?  Tears or not, seems like she was cool w/ it.

N this crazy news week u prob missed the f'd up story of how Angelina Jolie played orphan hunger games 2 cast a film

Angelina Jolie tells @VanityFair how she found her Khmer Rouge film lead by tempting deprived kids with cash and then snatching it away...

Mental. Why is she even talking about it? Shameful.

He had a lucky escape then.

So they are important decorations reflecting on her strength of spirit and generosity of heart, rather than children?

So let's emotionally abuse children who are already abused and traumatised in so many ways! And then talk about it so matter of fact! Vile!

Just go away Jolie nobody cares!

I also don't think dirty laundry should be aired for all of us to smell, deal with your shit in your family and move on. You're a nobody now Jolie, you won't be getting any more great acting roles besides voice overs.
Goodbye Jolie, which incase you don't realize bells palsy can be caused by herpes. And gosh you remember when she was making out with her twin brother and drinking blood on the red carpet? Just an attention loving whoore, nothing more.

Guess her making out with her older brother and drinking vials of blood like an attention seekin whor is normal then huh? Since it's not her twin brother who cares right? Smuck
And nice try comparing Brad (who waited years to talk about the divorce), to Jolie (whom has been crying victim and spreading bullshit stories (aka that brads an abusive dad) since day one of their divorce announcement.

The facts cleared Brad of false abuse allegations and her horrid smear campaign blew up in her face. He was coerced to take the heat for her in a messy divorce battle to try the gain the peace. It is sexist to act like the woman must be the victim in every divorce. She is the one who went scorched earth and attack dog mode. He admitted to actual things he needed to reduce or improve from to lead a healthier life while she is pretending to be a saint.

Fact check..she isnt the highest paid actress in Hollywood. She is the Hollywood brat who doesn't have a career now.

My, my, the children aren't experiencing any "divorce" problems or issues, just issues, I guess, from having had to live with that awful Dad. Well, those 6 are going to experience divorce issues until the day they die, Angie, and having a neurotic, self-centered Mom who drags 6 young kids all over the world while she "does her thing" and thinks being wordly and different and whatever is great ... well ... they'll be paying for that, too, forever. Divorce is hard. Thank gods Angie has a $25 million dollar house, publicists, attorneys, Vanity Fair, a Dad who has been trying for years to reconcile, a father of her children who wants to be in their lives, and all that glamorous adoration, money, looks, a career and a lifestyle most can never attain. I'm sure she'll recover.

She's unstable and a liar. She refuses to except her failures as reality and she has ruined her reputation she spent years lying about. Its done. She did it herself. Divorce takes two sure, but with a controlling narcissism personality where either self harm threats or the silent treatment for years, Pitt was miserable with her. The gentleman he is, he took full responsibility for it all but that wouldnt explain her actions in the beginning, throughout, nor now with her whiny woe is me pity party pr mess.

Sounds about right. We know what she did to get Billy Bob to marry her and how that divorce came about. I feel sorry for the children. The "Mommy Dearest" possibilities are sad and tragic. The good news is Brad is Dad and will, hopefully, have a constant and lasting loving role in their lives.

I was being sarcastic about "that awful Dad." That wasn't clear. From everything I've read, seen and heard over the years, I've never bought one thing about her and have always, always, thought very highly of Brad Pitt. Even when he took up with her. I'm not a Jennifer fan, either. I love his work with Plan B, and the films he's made and supported. I have been impressed with how he's carried himself, despite the vicious and ugly manner (and pathetic) in which she conducts herself and puts herself FIRST, always. I divorced when my two sons were 1 and 6, as a professional, and would never have dreamed of creating the kind of instability for them, nor bad publicity for my ex, no matter what, to further my career or agenda. You just don't do it.

And winners never cheat or lie. She is fake

she is strong feminist icon. she can do anything alone!
pfffttt. feminism, destroying one family at a time since 1979

No shade intended, I seriously think Ms. Voigt needs to seriously consider retiring from acting/directing. Every time she speaks in an article, she is expressing how she is suffering from yet another medical ailment. Last year it was mastectomy and oophorecrectomy to prevent cancer. Now it is hypertension and Bell's Palsy. Dear heavens, woman! If your body is seriously breaking down this badly, you need to stop working, stay in one place for a while and heal yourself. You have six children who will be a mess if you don't take care of yourself. The ego and vanity of some of these folks is mind boggling. Think of your children, for pete's sake!

"Sometimes women in families put themselves last ... until it manifests itself in their own health." poor, poor, victim.

She's a loon. I can see it in the Woman Martyr Complex comment. No wonder he had to drink.

I am a woman mother executive and activist. This woman just drives me crazy. 1 if she cares about her health for her children why does she not address her know boderline narracist anorexia issues that she suffers from. Children need mothers physically and mentally healthy. 2 if she cares about her children why does she not realize divorce takes a toll on them. Why does she also not realize it is her job to give them the tools to succeed. Not going to school and not having friendships and living in a guilged cage does not preapare them. 3 having sole custody is hurtful to child and father. The real reason is she wants to move to London. 4 the timing of this is too promote her awful movie. 5 she is not an inspiration to woman or girls in any manner. 6 lastly she refuses to admit it takes two to make a marriage work and she is as fault as him. I honestly believe he had breakdown from constant travel not eating rigght. Kids not going to school and getting more demanding. Living with a wife with mental health issues that needs to be right. Bottom line she wanted to move to London and they had nasty fights in front of children

She simply needs help but she wont admit it. She needs submission because the controlling has ruined her and her family.

To those of you commenting pro Angelina. I am not sexist. I am a woman. Long suffering I don't think so. Humanitarian I think she should have done family interventions versus fly around world and call FBI. Pure ploy for attention and her wanting to move abroad

Its been terrible to witness her self inflicted jabs at her family and career shes spent years lying about just to destroy quickly. She is irrelevant.

She is a liar, manipulator, and fraud. She is pretending she suffered from Bells Palsy to spin away the real reasons for her facial drooping/paralysis when people started noticing the bad side effects of excessive botox and fillers. She is incapable of being candid about anything. She is pretending to be the victim here and perfect suffering mother here, while throwing shade and conning people with this narrative.

She's still a raging bi-atch!

It must be very stressful moving into a 25 million dollar mansion and having to deal with all those maids, butlers, cooks,gardeners,and nannies at her beck and call 24 hours a day, I for one feel very sorry for her.

Jolie has control issues.

The NYP really eviscerated St. Angie and called her out on the new narrative of "homemaker/brave victim" and is Bells Palsy the new name for botched botox?

She needs to do a lot of therapy !!!

You are the one who has missed the plot and is not abiding by the real picture. Her article was barely critical of Jolie and doesn't even mention how her lies of child abuse and outrageous smear campaign was foiled. None of your posts about this contain any facts but a series of lies and spin to demonize Brad. He never said he was a drunk and he did not destroy his family. Misportaying elements of the GQ interview where he said he was going to reduce his alcohol intake and not use substances is admirable admission, it is her rabid stans exaggerating this into the worst while ignoring that she is the real addict and nannies have leaked for years about her drinking. What Angelina Jolie are you talking about? Nothing about her behavior has been sane or normal or respectable. You are going by some AU. He never left his family. He fought hard to prove his innocence to the FBI and DCFS despite her attempts to destroy him. He is fighting hard to spend monthly visits with his children despite her demands and games. He is still going through hell trying to get joint custody. He took the blame even after she threw him under the bus because this snake convinced him that as the man that he had to do this and he thought she would end her manipulations or smear campaign but that turned out to not be the case. Your entire viewpoint is not based on fact at all but blind hatred and projections. Angelina has a long track record of unstable deviant behaviors, sociopathic tendencies such as admitting to killing pets, knife/blood play, and she was the one who appeared tipsy at events with dilated pupils, not him. Every other celeb who admits to reducing drug or alcohol use gets admiration including AJ herself in the past, but he gets painted as a monster due to her deluded fans who are rewriting a new portrait to make herself look like a perfect saintly victim.

I don't like how Angelina treated Brad Pitt. She cut him off immediately from all his six children contacts since her divorce from him. Also, her adopted son Maddox is not a grateful son to Brad Pitt. He is sided only Angelina that is wrong. I don't appreciated adopted kid act like hateful attitude toward step father like Brad Pitt. I think it is very shameful how Angelina allowed this kind of attitude from kid, and she is mean spirited person.

Oh puhlease! Sick of her! Whiny "we are healing" !!! Those poor kids!

Cannot stand her at all. Nice she finally "feels" like a woman. What was she before? An android? Just have had enough of her whining.

Amen to that. Never liked her. Totally overrated.

Is she constantly whining???

Omg they had to live in a RENTAL until they settled In their $25mil mansion. What a travesty.
That whole sentence should have been left out.

I can't stand her. All that time she was married to Brad and when he decides he wants a divorce she starts throwing him under the bus. I admire the work she does as a humanitarian but she is a witch

Oh for gods sake she sounds like a typical narcissist. Really she makes me sick. Takes no responsibilty for her personal action, full of nothing but blame. Settle in a $25 million dollar home? Typical limo elite living in a bubble. Perhaps some therapy about her most alarming disease, anorexia and narcissim both deadly might help wake her up. If she had to live like the rest of the world she might just wake up to reality.

Stupid woman! What a family she had and she broke it! Can't imagine how bad the man must have been to tear apart a family like this

She did him dirty with the child protective services nonsense I can't stand to even look at her any longer.

I like how she is trying to insinuate the divorce was Brad's fault 🙄 We all know she's nuts.

Live in the "real " world, then tell about being a real woman !

You were the one to put them through hell, your karma will come, you paid already for Jennifer and more to come.

wow she's had it hard? give me a break!

i don't believe a word she is saying and she still looks like a junkie to me

I have never like this woman.
Since the problem first reported with Brad, I thought she was playing every angle to make herself look good and to make Brad look as bad as possible.
I never fall for the self promoting act.
And, she kept her children from Brad for so called protection--give me a break.

That's the LIBERAL way F everybody except yourself!

Things became "difficult" with Brad???  "Difficult" because he wouldn't put up with your crazy any more!

Was a lie.. he was tested by the courts and they found NOTHING in his system.

Is it me or am I sensing people don't care for her? lol ;p

I could care less about her but feel very sorry for the children.  She is a drug abuser and tried to commit suicide a number of times when she was married to Billy Bob Thornton.  Hopefully Brad Pitt will get custody of the children for their sake.

We need to know about her trials and tribulations--why?  The only reason for her to release this info is to garner sympathy, which is pretty pathetic. Bell's palsy is a temporary condition, irritating but not permanent.  She doesn't need our sympathy as she feels sorry enough for herself.

She's ugly. Dont See what Brad Pitt saw in her.

She's blaming her 'condition' on Brad?  Geez, what a bi  tch.

Poor poor pitiful me. She's always playing that same tune.

poor thing, all those millions and still can't cope, give me a break and go away, better yet go to a psychiatrist, you clearly need one

Lots of people have had Bell's Palsey. She only posts things when she wants sympathy. Well she is not getting it from me. Just like when she had the mastectomy. She was not the first women to have both breasts removed. But you think the way every one  carried on she was such a hero! Give me a break! She likes attention!!! Women who had breast cancer and had to have them removed for that reason not by choise like she did. Now she has something that other people have also.

She is a psychotic and so is her family.
Who cares she never could act, keep  a man or family
Please fade away. You will not be remembered

She is trying to cover her "issues".  She doesn't seem normal to me.

Jolie has always been an attention craving loon.

Oh PullEASE... JOLIE IS a VICTIM  of herself.   The whole relationship was based on cheating and adultery and they have been self promoters their whole careers. They waited years to get married and then couldn't handle the committment.  When you have to continually use the press coverage to tell the World what a wonderful person and parent you are and tell all us little folks how it's done...something stinks.  They finally got exposed for the frauds they are and have problems like everybody else. Now she wants to make a career out of being a victim.  I think Brad is more real...She is a Control freak...

Adopting for the publicity you silly fool.  Wake up and smell the coffee.

Have no respect for her.. She lied about Brads abuse to gain fake sympathy and falsely try and usurp the joint custody that should be allowed ALL fathers. Its a common abuse perpetrated by EVIL women who just want to get what they want..not be fair in a divorce.. she is a Horrible woman and Karma is giving her what she deserves.

She is making herself a victim.

she is looking the fool.

Don't know why people think she is such a good person. Just look at her history. Tattoo queen, nude pictures, the numerous men, carrying blood around her neck. etc. The thing that sticks in my mind is her skinny leg hanging out in that black dress trying to make it look like a natural pose. Nasty.  I have no sympathy or respect for her.

What happened to  'I just want my privacy' ? Narcissist.

a nerve problem ,this chic is a basket case...

Illness is not caused by another person.And by the way, "craving a more stable, normal life"??? Isn't she the cuckoo who french kissed her brother and traded blood vial necklaces with a former husband??? And the same loon who cut her father out of her life for cheating on her mother? Did he cut her out of his life when she cheated with a married man?? I've always thought she was one brick short of a load and now she adds to it being self absorbed and manipulative.

She thinks she is Mother Theresa

Karma at it's finest.

AND AGAIN....KARMA IS REAL

She's still nuts.

Right blame your problem on someone else if it wasn't for your Father Fame you would be employed some where else.

Ploy for sympathy. Keep your medical info to yourself

She needs to shut up!  It's called REAL LIFE problems we all have. Also, your worldly children might be confused. Too much 'world" at a young age can be counter active! Not everyone is interested in global issues, by the way.  America first!

Memo to Angelina - You're totally screwed up.

So, where is the reason for the divorce?  I didn't read it.  So she had a medical set-back........is that a reason for a divorce?   She  makes no sense to me, except to be a very difficult person to live with, in my book.

This broad will say anything to stay in the news.

Total nut case.

How to Release Anger

Anger is a natural human emotion, and it’s not always negative. It can help you know when you’ve been hurt or when a situation needs to change. It's important to learn how to process and react to your anger. Frequent feelings of anger have been linked to higher risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, depression and difficulty sleeping. This is especially possible if you experience highly explosive anger or your anger is extremely repressed..Fortunately, you can learn to understand, process, and release your anger in healthy ways.

Method 1 Releasing Your Anger Productively

1 Get some exercise. When you’re feeling angry, doing some moderate exercise could help you. A study by the University of Georgia suggests that moderate exercise (such as running or riding a bike) during or immediately after an upsetting experience can help you manage the experience of anger. When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are natural "feel-good" chemicals that make you feel more positive and happy.[3] If you're unable to run or ride a bike, consider walking, stretching, and other easier forms of exercise.[4]


  • Exercise may also have a preventive effect. A Yale study suggested that prolonged bouts of running before an upsetting experience may dampen the extremity of your emotional reaction.[5]
  • Even if you can't take time for a full exercise routine when you're angry, try take a few moments. Leave the situation that's making you angry if you can, and shake out your limbs vigorously. Even small physical distractions can help you feel better.[6]

2 Practice controlled breathing. Breathing deeply from your diaphragm (the large muscle at the base of your lungs that assists with breathing) can help soothe feelings of anger.[7] Deep, controlled breathing slows your heartbeat, stabilizes blood pressure, and relaxes your body.[8] Combine your breathing exercise with a mantra, or calming word or phrase, for added benefit.

  • Find a quiet place to relax. Make yourself comfortable. Lie down if you like, and loosen any tight or uncomfortable clothing.
  • Place your hand on your abdomen.
  • Inhale slowly through your nose. Focus on filling your belly with air as you breathe in. Let your abdomen relax as you inhale; you should be able to feel your stomach expand. Hold this breath for a few seconds.
  • Breathe out slowly through your mouth. Contract your abdominal muscles to push all the air out of your lungs.
  • Repeat this process at least ten times.
  • If you're still having trouble with deep breathing, buy a bottle of children's bubbles from the toy store. Hold the bubble wand in front of your face and breathe slowly through the wand. Focus on exhaling from your lower abdomen, squeezing your breath up and out. Steady, even breathing will produce a flow of bubbles. If your bubbles break or don't appear, alter your breathing until they do.[9]
3 Practice progressive muscle relaxation. Progressive muscle relaxation requires you to focus on tensing and relaxing particular muscle groups in your body, so it can help distract you from your feelings of anger. Additionally, it is excellent for relieving anxiety and tension, which can also help alleviate angry feelings. This exercise also works to help you sleep when your thoughts are out of control.[10]
  • Go to a quiet, comfortable place if possible, and find a seat.
  • Focus on a particular muscle group, such as the muscles in one hand. While inhaling deeply and slowly, squeeze the muscles in that group as hard as you possibly can and maintain that tension for 5 seconds. For example, tensing your hand muscles would involve forming a tight fist. Focus on that group of muscles and try not to accidentally tense surrounding muscles.
  • Exhale and quickly release the tension in the muscle group you just tensed. Focus on the experience of the tension leaving those muscles. Allow yourself to relax for about 15 seconds, then move on to another muscle group.
  • Other muscle groups to try tensing and relaxing are the foot, lower leg, thigh, buttocks, stomach, chest, neck and shoulders, mouth, eyes, and forehead.
  • You can also start at your feet and work your way up your body, tensing each group of muscles. As you release each muscle group, imagine the anger leaving your body as you feel the relaxation take over.
4 Perform an anger release ceremony. Focused activities may help channel your angry energy into a productive expression so that you can move past your immediate feelings of anger. Research has shown that anger can even temporarily enhance brainstorming and creative thinking.[11] Engage your imagination and mindfully release your anger in a controlled, creative way.[12]

  • For example, find a private place to shake your body and imagine that you are literally shaking off your anger just like a dog shakes off water after a bath.
  • Another example could be writing down angry thoughts on a piece of paper and then slowly tearing the paper apart, imagining that you are also destroying your feelings of anger.
  • If you're artistic, try sketching or painting something that expresses how you feel. Focus on moving your feelings out of yourself and into the artwork.
5 Use a stress-relief toy. A stress-relief toy, such as a stress ball, can help in the immediate experience of anger. Because they prompt you to squeeze and release a group of muscles, stress balls can give you some of the benefits of progressive muscle relaxation more immediately. However, they are a stop-gap solution and should be coupled with other techniques for the best long-term results.[13]
  • It's much better to use a stress-relief toy than it is to release anger by punching, kicking, or throwing things. Explosive actions like these can cause harm or damage, and they often increase your anger rather than help it.[14]
6 Find something funny or silly. Silly humor can actually help defuse your anger. A significant root cause of a lot of anger is the feeling that our own ideas about a situation or experience are always right and that things ought to go in the way we expect them to. Using humor to approach and deconstruct these ideas can help calm you down and manage your anger.[15]

  • For example, the American Psychological Association recommends that, if you find yourself calling someone a derogatory name, you imagine it literally. So, if you’re so angry at your boss that you call him a “douchebag,” imagine what it would look like if your boss literally were a douchebag, complete with suit and briefcase. This type of humor may help you feel less tense.
  • Looking at silly or cute videos online can also help you lighten your mood. Humans are biologically programmed to find things such as large-eyed puppies and tiny fat babies adorable, and we have a chemical reaction of happiness to seeing these things.[16]
  • Avoid sarcastic or cruel humor, as this type of humor is likely to just make your anger worse and can also hurt others.
7 Listen to calming music. Listening to music can be an excellent distraction technique that can help you release your anger. However, it’s important that you listen to calming music. When you’re already feeling angry, music with aggressive beats or angry lyrics may actually make your negative feelings more intense.[17]

  • Find quiet, tranquilizing music to help soothe your anger. Part of what makes you feel so "revved up" when you're angry is that your body has entered a "fight or flight" state of excitement.[18] The British Academy of Sound Therapy has created a playlist of songs deemed "relaxing" by scientific study, including songs by Marconi Union ("Weightless"), Airstream ("Electra") and Enya ("Watermark").[19]
8 Repeat self-calming statements. Find a statement that is meaningful to you, and try focusing your attention on this statement as you repeat it. You can even repeat a few statements to yourself.[20] Here are a few you could try:

  • “This situation is only temporary.”
  • “I can make it through this.”
  • “I might not like it, but it’s not going to kill me.”
  • “I will keep my cool about this.”
  • “This isn’t worth getting upset about.”
Method 2 Controlling and Preventing Anger

1 Develop an “anger plan.” Because it can be very hard to come up with ways to reduce your anger in the heat of the moment. try coming up with an advance plan to help you calm yourself in the event that you get angry. Having this plan in mind will help you manage your anger productively.

  • For example, you might plan to take a “time out” if you feel yourself beginning to grow angry, in which you calmly tell the other person that you’re feeling upset and need to take a break.
  • If you are in a conversation that’s making you angry -- such as a conversation about a heated issue like politics or religion -- make an effort to shift the conversation to a more neutral and pleasant topic.
2 Restructure your thinking. Cognitive restructuring can help you experience anger less frequently. Anger often leads to exaggerating your response to events or experiences and can make you spiral out of control. Changing the way you think about your experiences and goals can help you both avoid feeling angry in the first place and manage your anger when you do experience it.[21]

  • Avoid totalizing words like “never” or “always.” One tendency of anger is that it blots out our memory of other experiences, which can increase frustration. These words also hurt others and make people feel defensive instead of cooperative. Instead of saying things such as “I’m always such an idiot” or “You never remember what’s important,” focus on what is actually occurring. You may find it helpful to make a plain statement of fact to yourself, such as “I forgot my cellphone at the house” or “You forgot our dinner plans,” to help you keep things in perspective.
  • Remain logical. Of course it’s easier said than done, but reminding yourself that the negative experience encouraging you to feel angry isn’t the only experience you will likely have that day. Remembering that the irritation, no matter how big it may seem, is only temporary will help you overcome your feelings of anger more quickly.
3 Approach situations with flexibility. It’s easy to assume that your first impression of a situation or experience is the “right” one, and it can be very difficult to give up the idea that there is an objective truth to every situation. However, being more flexible with how you approach experiences and events will help you react with less anger to them.
  • For example, if someone cut in front of you while you were waiting in line at the store, you might assume they don’t care about your needs and were being rude, and that assumption could lead you to feeling angry. While that assumption might be true, it’s not productive. Approaching that experience flexibly, such as imagining that the other person just didn’t see you or may be preoccupied with some stressful issue of their own, will help you let go of the personal feeling of anger.
4 Learn assertiveness. Developing an assertive communication style can help you feel more in control of your own life and experience less anxiety and anger. Assertive communication and behavior isn’t about being arrogant or selfish; it’s just about clearly and calmly expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs to others in an open and honest way. If you aren’t honest with others about your needs, they may not be able to meet them, and that experience can result in your feeling angry, depressed, and unvalued.[22]

  • Use “I”-focused statements such as “I’m feeling confused about what you said” or “I would like you to be on time when we go to see a movie together.”
  • Avoid name-calling, threats, and attacks on the other person.
  • Use cooperative statements and invite others’ opinions.
  • Be as direct and clear as possible about your desires and needs. For example, if you’ve been invited to a party that you don’t want to attend, don’t just say something like “Oh, well,I guess I’ll go if I have to.” Instead, state clearly but politely that you don’t want to go: “I would prefer not to attend that party.”
5 Try meditating. Meditation not only decreases anxiety and alleviates depression, it also can help you maintain your calm even during upsetting experiences. A recent Harvard study showed that meditation has a positive effect on your brain function, especially in the area of emotional processing.[23] The study examined two forms of meditation: “mindfulness” meditation and “compassionate” meditation. While both reduced participants’ feelings of anxiety and anger, compassionate meditation was even more effective than just mindfulness.

  • Mindfulness meditation focuses on being completely present in the moment and being aware of and accepting your body’s experiences. This type of meditation is similar to the meditation you might do in a yoga class.
  • Compassionate meditation, also sometimes called loving-kindness meditation, is based on a set of lo-jong, or Tibetan Buddhist practices, focused on developing your feelings of compassion and love for others.[24] This type of meditation may require you to seek some instruction before you can effectively practice it on your own.
6 Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can do a variety of damages to your body, including causing physical stress and increasing your risk of developing a mood disorder such as depression or anxiety. Poor sleep or too little sleep can also cause irritability, mood swings, and a tendency to feel angry more often than usual.[25]
  • Sleep experts recommend that the average adult get an average of at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night, although you may require more or slightly less sleep to feel fully satisfied depending on your own body’s needs.
7 Share your experiences with the person who angered you. Once you have let go of your angry feelings, sharing your feelings and experiences with the person who angered you can be helpful. For example, if someone hurt your feelings by ignoring you at a party, calmly talking to that person and explaining why you felt hurt may help them understand how their behavior affected you. It may also help you feel more in control of the situation.
  • It is very important to wait until you’ve processed your anger to talk with the other person. If you approach them while you’re angry, you will likely only make the situation worse, and you could end up causing hurt as well. Always use non-violent communication when interacting with others.
8 See a therapist. A therapist can help you work through the underlying feelings and motivations behind your anger. This is especially helpful if your feelings and their causes aren’t particularly clear to you. Cognitive therapy, in which therapists help you learn how to think about experiences differently, can be particularly helpful for anger management.[26]

Method 3 Understanding Your Anger

1 Recognize problematic anger. Most people experience mild anger a few times every week. In some cases, it’s perfectly normal to feel angry, such as if you feel someone has insulted or hurt you. However, you should learn to recognize signs that your anger has verged into the “problem” category.
  • Do you frequently yell, scream, or curse when you’re angry? Do you verbally lash out at others?
  • Does your anger frequently lead to physical aggression? How severe is the expression of this aggression? Less than 10 percent of normal anger episodes involve physical aggression, so if you’re experiencing it often, that could be a sign that something more serious is at issue.
  • Do you feel the need to self-medicate when you’re angry, such as by using drugs, alcohol, or food?
  • Do you feel that your anger negatively affects your personal relationships, your job, or your general health? Have others expressed these concerns to you?
2 Learn to read your body. Anger can cause a variety of physical symptoms, particularly in women, who are often taught by social and cultural pressures to avoid expressing hostility and anger openly.[28] Feelings of physical tension or muscle aches, rapid breathing, feeling jittery, and experiencing headaches are all symptoms that can be linked to anger. Understanding when you’re really feeling angry, rather than trying to repress that knowledge, can help you process your anger.
  • Anxiety, depression, and insomnia can also be linked to feelings of anger.
3 Examine the anger patterns in your family history. The ways in which your parents and other family members expressed their anger have a significant effect on your own patterns of dealing with it. How did members of your family process and express their anger when you were growing up? Did your parents openly express anger, or was it repressed?

4 Keep an anger journal. One way to become more in touch with your feelings and why you’re experiencing anger is to write down your emotions in detail. Reflect on not only what happened during an event or experience, but how you reacted and what your train of thought was. Try not to judge these feelings as you write. Just express them so that you can become aware of what you’re feeling. Awareness is a crucial first step to processing and overcoming anger. Ask yourself the following questions for each entry:
  • What incited your feelings of anger or stress? Were you already feeling stressed before this incident?
  • What thoughts did you experience during this experience?
  • On a scale of 0-100, how angry do you think you felt?
  • Did you lash out at others or internalize your anger?
  • Did you notice any physical symptoms, such as an elevated heart rate or headache?
  • What responses did you want to have? Did you want to scream, attack someone, or smash things? What responses did you actually have?
  • How did you feel after the incident or experience?
5 Learn your triggers. Anger in particular is easily triggered in many people by specific thoughts or incidents.[30] You can use your anger journal to determine patterns in what seems to set off your anger response most often. Trigger thoughts fall broadly into two main categories: feeling that you’re in danger of being harmed, and feeling that you’ve actually been harmed in some way.
  • A very common trigger thought is that someone has done or not done something you expect them to. For example, if you arranged to meet a friend for dinner and they didn’t show up, you might feel angry that they didn’t do what you’d expected them to.
  • Another common trigger thought is feeling like something is causing you harm, even in a very general way. For example, being cut off in traffic, having computer issues, and constantly dropping calls on your cellphone happen frequently, but these incidents can carry real, negative consequences that create a worry of experiencing harm. That worry can trigger anger.
  • Feeling as though you haven’t achieved a personal goal or need can also trigger anger, in this case anger directed at yourself.
  • Feeling as though you’re being taken advantage of or that people don’t help or care about you are also common triggers, especially at work and in romantic relationships.

Channing Tatum Reveals the Totally Normal Secret to His 12-Year Romance

by SAMANTHA SCHNURR | Sat, Jul 22, 2017 4:50 AM

Channing Tatum has the perfect answer.

E! News caught up with the Kingsman: The Golden Circle star shortly after ringing in his eighth wedding anniversary with Jenna Dewan Tatum. So, what's the secret to nearly a decade of marriage, especially in Hollywood? According to the star, it all comes down to having open ears.

"Just listen to each other—that's it," he told E!'s Sibley Scoles. "There's no magic recipe. Every two unique snowflakes that meet are going to have a different combination."

Cue the awwwww! His adorable answer is enough proof for why his 12-year relationship is still going strong.

The duo, who made hearts flutter first as co-stars in Step Up, are also proud parents to 4-year-old daughter, Everly. So, is their only daughter looking for a little brother or sister?

"I don't think she wants—she's just like, 'No.' That means she would have to split mommy time," Tatum explained. "'Whatever that is needs to go.'"

While the couple have maintained a highly private life for their little one, the actor wasn't shy about describing her strong-willed personality.

"She's a boss, too, so she would be like, 'Get rid of it,'" he added.

It sounds like dad Channing could learn a thing or two from his little girl because he got totally tongue-tied when he first met co-star Halle Berry. Check out the video above for Tatum's hilarious reenactment.

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's Wildest Quotes About Their Marriage Revealed

by MIKE VULPO | Sat, Jul 22, 2017 5:15 AM

For more than 20 years, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have kept the spark alive in more ways than one.

Sure, there are those hot and heavy smooches on red carpets. And sometimes these two can't help but display some PDA at award shows.

But even as their love story plays out in the public eye, the pair has kept fans gasping, laughing and cheering them on thanks to their honest—and sometimes outrageous—quotes about love and marriage.

Thursday night was no different when Jada appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

When asked by a caller to share the wildest rumor she's heard about her family, the actress didn't hold back.

"The craziest rumor? That Will and I are swingers," she shared on the Bravo show. "I'm like, 'Yo, I wish! I wish.'"

Jada added, "I really think that Will and I just have amazing chemistry on a lot of different levels. We love to laugh together. We love to learn together and we just love each other. We just have a good time together. I guess that's the secret. We just really like each other."

Before we get our tickets to Jada's new movie titled Girls Trip, we decided to take a look back at some of the wildest quotes both she and Will have shared about each other.

RUMOR PATROL
"I've heard all the things—their marriage is not real, he's gay, she's gay, they swing. But at the end of the day, people have to believe what they have to believe. I'll tell you what, it's too hard to be in a pretend marriage. Life's too short for that one." — Jada Pinkett Smith on Atlanta's Q100

 SPILL THE SECRETS
"There's really not a secret per se. If you don't get divorced that year, you get to add one more year to your marriage." — Will Smith to E! News

 TRUST IN THE SMITHS
"Should we be married to individuals who can not be responsible for themselves and their families within their freedom? Should we be in relationships with individuals who we can not entrust to their own values, integrity, and LOVE...for us??? Here is how I will change my statement...Will and I BOTH can do WHATEVER we want, because we TRUST each other to do so. This does NOT mean we have an open relationship...this means we have a GROWN one." — Jada Pinkett Smith on Facebook.

PARENT OF THE YEAR
"I'm not gonna be silly. I'm here to honor you. Just watching the piece with the kids it just takes me back to when we made them. Can't help but think about that. It's just amazing. It's like you take Jada Pinkett Smith and an obscure town in Mexico and some tequila and you end up with great kids!" — Will Smith at Vh1's Dear Mama Event

STABLE SUPPORT
"You gotta trust who you're with, and at the end of the day, I'm not here to be anybody's watcher. I'm not his watcher. He's a grown man. I trust that the man that Will is is a man of integrity. HE's got all the freedom in the world, and as long as Will can look at himself in the mirror and be OK, I'm good." —Jada Pinkett Smith on The Howard Stern Show

RUMOR HAS IT
"In the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness... Jada and I are...NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! : -) I promise you all - if I ever decide to divorce my Queen - I SWEAR I'll tell you myself! #‎Dumb‬ People Should Have to Wear Scarlet D's." — Will Smith on Facebook

LOVE WINS
"I never thought about being married or having a family. I didn't know anything about that because I came from a single mom so I always though I'd be a single mom and have a career. Then I found this beautiful man, Will. I got married to him and I got my bonus son Trey and then I got Jaden and I got Willow and I was able to create, for myself, something I never had—which means family." — Jada Pinkett Smith at Vh1's Dear Mama Event

SUPER WOMAN
"She is just absolutely hardcore, like she absolutely is unfazed by the weight and the pressures of life. She is so calm and cool and easy in any situation. She can bear anything, and I just love that about her." — Will Smith to People

PUBLICITY PLEASE
"If you really want to know, I'm thankful for the Hollywood scrutiny, that that's my problem. There are mothers out there losing their sons, their husbands, their daughters. I'm blessed. So scrutinize me. I'll take that any day over what the majority of my people are dealing with on a daily basis. I dare not complain." — Jada Pinkett Smith to American Way magazine

LOYAL TO THE END
"He's been by my side through some of the most difficult parts of my life. And so that's something you can never take away. A lot of other things, you never know, other things might change...but one thing is for sure: I love him deeply and he is my best friend." — Jada Pinkett Smith on HuffPost Live

After 23 years together and two talented kids together, we'd say these two are more than just couple's goals.

Keep it real, Jada and Will. We love you for it.

Be selective in your battles. Sometimes peace is better than being right.

Pura Vida

If you have been to Costa Rica, or if you are planning a Costa Rica vacation, one term you should be familiar with is “Pura Vida” (pronounces poo-rah vee-dah).  Simply translated, it means “simple life” or “pure life”, but here in Costa Rica, it is more than just a saying—it is a way of life.

Costa Ricans (Ticos) use this term to say hello, to say goodbye, to say everything’s great, to say everything’s cool. However, it is not the words that reflect the true meaning of ¡Pura Vida!. Pura Vida is the way Ticos live. Not surprisingly, Costa Rica has been named one of the happiest countries in the world, mostly because its inhabitants don’t stress about things the way most foreigners do. Ticos have a very relaxed, simple way of looking at life. No worries, no fuss, no stress—pura vida to them means being thankful for what they have and not dwelling on the negative.

Although many people love to use the phrase, not many know where the term actually originated. The most common explanation comes from a Mexican movie called  ¡Pura vida! that came to Costa Rica 1956 (directed by Gilberto Martínez Solares).  In the movie, ‘pura vida’ is the saying used by the main character who remains optimistic, despite unfortunate circumstances that continue to surround him.  Although it took a little while to catch on, the phrase pura vida was being used nationwide by 1970. Today, it is an inherent part of the culture.

Although many people use the saying ‘pura vida’, until you’ve been to Costa Rica, you will not truly know what pura vida feels like. It’s an emotion, it’s an attitude, it’s happiness, and it’s a way of life.  Once you’ve visited, you will understand the true meaning of pura vida.

The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for. Happiness never comes to those who don’t appreciate what they already have.

You won’t always get exactly what you want, but remember this: There are lots of people who will never have what you have right now.

La Luna Sangre: Week 4 Recap

You give too much attention to this woman, and she just plays on the audience. Now there are many beautiful and more interesting stars than she, enough to discuss it.

Trash with cash.

Anyone defending her, please realise it's a proven fact (see "Angelina Jolie's Carefully Orchestrated Image" by NY Times) she calls the paps on her own children. And German paps also confirmed in biggest German newspaper Sueddeutsche a few years back. This woman is a thirsty, fame-hungry person who never drew the line at giving her children access to privacy or space to find their own lives - because her need for PR overrides any of that. This alone should turn you off her, and not to mention what she did to publicly damage BP when she was done with the relationship. Awful, twisted woman.

And once again I will say this: a hypocritical world and hypocritical Jolie and poor children.

A borderline person (as John Voight suggested she is) exudes charm and benevolence for outsiders. Once you become inner circle, you get mood swings, silent treatment, character assassination and sabotage (as her history with men and the cut off of her dad suggests.) Anybody can behave at work for a paycheck or adulation, which you experienced.

Shame that Brad doesn't get to attend these events with his kids. Shame that Shiloh is encouraged to act like a boy.

Jolie's PR team is working overtime to no avail, her brand is damaged beyond repair.

Too much pap strolls with the kids.

Pathetic....she takes HER kids to Disneyworld....and explain how this is news?

does she realize that it is summer??

does she care that the kids might be missing dad ? In the long shot she looked like Cait .

She always looks so frumpy in her private life. Why is she wearing that coat in summer?!

There is something of "a fake" and quite "unhealthy" in this woman. It is the children we could have pity on and feel sorry for.

When she decided to cut her ovaries off, she already lost her mind. This woman has cancer genes, mental genes, and g-a-y genes. They will be passed on to her biological kids. Poor kids won't end up well.

Has she resurrected her image yet?

I dont find her genuine,she seems a bit forced

Totally forced. She never used to smile but now she does for photo-ops, lol.

She has no one to blame but herself and her despicable behavior prior to the Saint Angie schtick. No one is buying it.

Some of us happen to find it astounding that a parent can be that calculating about using their kids for PR, along with being that calculating about taking down their ex in public in such a deliberate manner designed to inflict max pr damage. Don't drink the koolaid!

She is certainly showing up in a lot of pictures with her children. PR stunt to make her look like mother of the year??? Please, you are no Jennifer Garner.

It's obvious what she's doing: she's desperately clinging on to the only good cards she has left - saintly single mother. Celebs should and probably need to call the paps as a professional requirement. However, when someone crosses the line into using their kids as deliberately as she has (and not just once in a while to ease off pap pressure), it should be called out. Unethical parenting!

Hmmm I was thinking the same thing! Jeez I'm sure they she can arrange to take them to these public places incognito if she wants

Her daughter looks sad and anxious in most pictures.

why does she wear coat? it's warm in LA

Why so many pictures lately? These photos are obviously staged. There are thousands have famous people in Los Angeles. There are. It roving bands of photographers. Yet she is the one whose picture is being taken. Hmmmm.

What the F does she wear in summer? Poor Viv always looks sad, scared and insecure. that girl is going to have huge problem

Another pap stroll .... yawn

Coat? California? July?

Why is she wearing a coat when everyone else is in short sleeves?

Very, very hot and humid, sweaty. That poor coat!

does she realize that it is summer??

Monica Lewinsky is the last person who should be commenting on other peoples indiscretions...

Monica speaking to Vanity Fair and still playing the victim will not help repair her reputation

She shouldn't talk.

Lol! The one who willingly got in her knees in front of a president is talking???

Crazy nut again plays on public. Taking advantage of her children, she continues the PR move. Without them, she can not even take a step now. Poor kids. AJ will a long deceive people, but one day her reign will end.

I dont think any of her children 'do their own thing'. I think she pushes all of them into what she wants them to be.

Couple more years to see if Shiloh will become more girly. When she hits puberty. My daughter was a complete tomboy down to the underwear. People thought she was a boy, then bam!!! All girl now. She's 16 now.

What an absolute bore. Shiloh is gorgeous though.

Vivienne has never looked more happy, talking with the help...

I thought the same ..Angelina s just thinking about herself and who is looking at her ...Vivienne looks the happiest I ve seen any of the kids look ..and funnily enough it's with the nanny...say no more

There is something dark about Jolie

Can you picture her closet? Is there anything in there NOT black?

Another pap stroll. Her reputation is destroyed. People see thru her.

So true. Her cover has been blown and no amount of pap strolls with the kids with the photographer tipped off will get her back in the public's good books.

What has happened to her? She looks and dresse like Mortica

Always shopping for toys. Surely they have more than enough already!

You would think by now they would have everything in the toy store......would love to see the inside of their house .

Jolie is  batshit crazy! She shouldn't have any kids in her care.

They've ruined the poor girl. I bet she wishes she could get treatment to become a 3rd world orphan so her mother would love her.

Walking the children for pap-strolls is her new career, since the movie offers dried up. I expect she will announce that she has 'put her career on a slow-down to be with the children'. She must have really upset the industry to be shunned like this and end up pap-strolling like the Kardashians.

You cannot buy or force the public's sympathy.

He left the grip of her and found himself again.

Very nice, that Brad supports this young singer.

Spike Jonze hasn't made any movie since winning Oscar. Maybe it is time he and Brad make a movie together.

Brad is such a beautiful man and he is too good for Angelina. Brad, go find a decent woman to marry and have kids. Angelina is never a wife material, she is mistress material.

It was said Brad's parents and friends were against him hooking up with Angelina. They warned him but he didn't listen. I am sure he regrets and he should have listen to his parents and his friends.

Brad had a romantic idea about a big family, he only thought of good sides, he didn't expect the headache sides of a big family. Plus Angelina's health problems and surgeries, it was a hell he had to live in. HE WANTED A FAMILY.

It's just that Pitt's fans managed to see the true colors of his wife and her hypocrisy, so they do not want any more for him such a life. They wish him happiness and only the best.

The kids and marriage caused him to heavy drink. The kids were chaotic and the wife was mental. I would too.

I remember when the news of Brad leaving Jen for Angelina was out. My parents and my friends all said Brad lost his mind. No sane man would leave Jen for the mental Angelina. Now this is proved to be true. Brad is paying heavily for it. EVERTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

Frank is the power of music.Brad needed a friend like that. He probably went through Dante's Inferno having his family destroyed. Frank is the truth.

Sorry Angelina and her loons. Brad is just too gorgeous to be a bad guy. Angelina on the other hand always look like a witch. I just don't like her.

It was so beautiful, such a sensitive song, Frank is a special performer. Brad Pitt played well. After the divorce, he became more pleased with life. I'm so happy for him, great Brad.

No relationship lasts when built on lust and cheating

It's good to see Brad having fun, and we can comment on it without moderation unlike the articles for a certain mad ex, who drags the kids for daily pap walks, and doesn't stand any criticism. Brad has always loved music, and he clearly has a lot of friends.

I'm not hating but I tell what I see, and I can't stand fakery and hypocrisy. I can't stand a woman who accuses her husband falsely just to get rid of him in the most damaging way. The one who lied and has a sick mind is Jolie, and I will be always vocal about it..

Brad looks so great post divorce. Most important he is free to do everything he loves: music and art. Good for him. Angelina on the other has nothing else to do but parading her kids for PR to try to save her images. LOL

Brad has a lot friends in the show biz. They respect him and love him. I can't say the same thing about Angelina. She is looney bin.

How cool Brad show up at Frank's concert. He is so gorgeous. The man is always elegant and classy

Angelina never deserved to have Brad in the first place. His Mrs. right is somewhere waiting for him to discover her.

God works in mysterious ways!

Brad looked the worst when he was with mental Angelina. He looks damn good after rid of her.

Brad is so beautiful. God bless him. What a great man

I'm glad to see Brad and Frank. I did not think that I would see them on the same stage, a pleasant surprise. Frank's songs are real magic and the voice is so gentle. In general, he is a great singer. And Brad, I wish you all the best, be happy and never be sad. The world is full of love, beauty and good people.

He still looks so good at 53.
