Angelina Jolie Can't Keep Her Stories Straight
Angelina Jolie recently sat for an interview in which she possibly revealed more than she wanted to...or maybe not, since I get the feeling that nothing she does or say that concerns the press is by accident. For one, she says she plans on staying home with her brood of kids for a full year (yes, a full year!) after she gets done with her next two movies (the movie Edwin A. Salt, after Tom Cruise "passed" on it, and the sequel to Kung Fu Panda):
She has taken all of 2008 off from filmmaking and has only one movie lined up — the spy thriller “Edwin A. Salt,” which will begin production in February and which, in an indication of her box office clout in action films, was reconceived for her after Tom Cruise dropped out.In addition she will reprise her vocal performance as Tigress in the sequel to this summer’s “Kung Fu Panda” — the only one of her roughly three dozen movies that any of her children have seen. “It’s a big hit in the house,” she said. “Jack Black is like De Niro to the kids.”
After that, she said, she’ll stay home for another full year, and she expects acting to play a diminishing role in her life as time goes by.
Wherever home is, that is. Since they are constantly jetting off to here or there or somewheres else, who knows where home is? Kids need stability and continuity, but not in Angelina's world.
Also, she worries about what effect her past indiscretions might have on her kids, particularly Maddox, who is now old enough to navigate teh interwebs:
She worries about the day that Maddox, who is now old enough to use the Internet, will “look up my name and see some kind of sexy pictures or read a story about himself that isn’t true. There’s a lot we’re going to have to explain to them about how public their family is.”
I know we all have things in our past that we'd rather die than have our kids find out about, but come on...she has lived most of her adult life in the spotlight. Maybe she should have thought about stuff like this ten years ago, huh? Continued on the next page
