"Angelina Jolie-In the media"

She appeared in the media from an early age due to Angelina Jolie's famous father Jon Voight. At 7 Angelina Jolie had a small part in Lookin' to Get Out, a movie co-written by and starring Angelina Jolie's father, and in 1986 and 1988 Angelina Jolie attended the Academy Awards as a teenager with him. However, when Angelina Jolie started her acting career, she decided not to use "Voight" as a stage name, because Angelina Jolie wished to establish her own identity as an actress. She was never shy about controversy and integrated her teenage "wild girl" image into Angelina Jolie public persona in the 1st years of Angelina Jolie's career. During her acceptance speech at the 2000 Academy Awards, she declared, "I'm so in love with my brother right now", which, combined with her affectionate behavior towards him that night, sparked speculation in the tabloid media of an incestuous relationship with her brother James Haven. Angelina Jolie has denied those rumors vehemently, and she and Haven later explained in interviews that after their parents' divorce they relied on one another and because of that they hold on to each other as a means of emotional support.

She does not employ a publicist or an agent. Angelina Jolie quickly became a tabloid's favorite, since Angelina Jolie presented herself as very outspoken in interviews, discussing Angelina Jolie's love life and her interest in BDSM openly, and once claiming to be "most likely to sleep with a female fan". As one of her most distinctive physical features, her lips have attracted notable media attention and Angelina Jolie has been described as "the current gold standard of beauty in the West" among women seeking cosmetic surgery. Angelina Jolie also created headlines with her much publicized marriage to Billy Bob Thornton and her subsequent change into an advocate for global humanitarian problems. As Angelina Jolie took on the role of UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie started to use her celebrity to highlight humanitarian causes worldwide. She has been taking flying lessons since 2004 and Angelina Jolie has a private pilot license (with an instrument rating) and owns a Cirrus SR22 airplane. The media speculated that She is a Buddhist, but Angelina Jolie said that she teaches Buddhism to her son Maddox because Angelina Jolie considers it part of his culture. She has not stated definitively whether or not Angelina Jolie believes in God. When asked in 2000 if there was a God, Angelina Jolie said, "For the people who believe in it, I hope so. There doesn't need to be a God for me."

Starting in 2005, her relationship with Brad Pitt became one of the most reported celebrity stories worldwide. After she confirmed her pregnancy in early 2006, the unprecedented media hype surrounding them "reached the point of insanity" as Reuters described it in their story "The Brangelina fever". Trying to avoid the media attention, the couple went to Namibia for the birth of Shiloh, "the most anticipated baby since Jesus Christ", as it had been described. 2 years later, her 2nd pregnancy again fueled a media frenzy. For the 2 weeks Angelina Jolie spent in a seaside hospital in Nice, reporters and photographers camped outside on the promenade to report on the birth.

Today, she is one of the best known celebrities around the world. According to the Q Score, in 2000, subsequent to her Oscar win, 31% of respondents in the United States said she was familiar to them, by 2006 Angelina Jolie was familiar to 81% of Americans. In a 2006 global industry survey by ACNielsen in 42 international markets her, together with Brad Pitt, was found to be the favorite celebrity endorser for brands and products worldwide. She was among the Time 100, a list of the 100 most influential people in the world, in 2006 and 2008. Angelina Jolie was described as the world's most beautiful woman in the 2006 "100 Most Beautiful" issue of People, and Angelina Jolie was voted the greatest s*x symbol of all time in the British Channel 4 television show The 100 Greatest S*x Symbols in 2007. The Hollywood Reporter named her the highest-paid actress of 2008, earning $15 million per film. Angelina Jolie also topped Forbes' annual Celebrity 100 list in 2009; Angelina Jolie had previously be ranked No. 14 in 2007, and No. 3 in 2008.

"Angelina Jolie-Children"

On March 10, 2002, Angelina Jolie adopted her 1st child, 7-month-old Maddox Chivan. He was born on August 5, 2001 as Rath Vibol in Cambodia, and he initially lived in a local orphanage in Battambang. Angelina Jolie decided to apply for adoption after Angelina Jolie had visited Cambodia twice, while filming Tomb Raider and on a UNHCR field trip in 2001. After her divorce from her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie received sole custody of Maddox. Like Jolie's other children, Maddox has gained considerable celebrity and appears regularly in the tabloid media.

Angelina Jolie adopted a 6-month-old girl from Ethiopia, Zahara Marley, on July 6, 2005. Zahara was born on January 8, 2005. Angelina Jolie was originally named Yemsrach by her mother, and was later given the legal name Tena Adam at an orphanage. Angelina Jolie adopted her from Wide Horizons For Children orphanage in Addis Ababa. Shortly after they returned to the United States, Zahara was hospitalized for dehydration and malnutrition. In 2007, media outlets reported Zahara's biological mother, Mentewabe Dawit, was still alive and wanted her daughter back, but she later denied these reports, saying she thought Zahara was "very fortunate" to be adopted by Jolie.

Brad Pitt was reportedly present when "Angelina Jolie" signed the adoption papers and collected her daughter; later Angelina Jolie indicated that she and Pitt made the decision to adopt Zahara together. On January 19, 2006, a judge in California approved Pitt's request to legally adopt Jolie's two children. Their surnames were formally changed to "Jolie-Pitt".

Angelina Jolie gave birth to a daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, in Swakopmund, Namibia, by a scheduled caesarean section, on May 27, 2006. Brad Pitt confirmed that their newly-born daughter would have a Namibian passport, and Angelina Jolie decided to sell the 1st pictures of Shiloh through the distributor Getty Images herself, rather than allowing paparazzi to make these valuable photographs. People paid more than $4.1 million for the North American rights, while British magazine Hello! obtained the international rights for roughly $3.5 million. All profits were donated to an undisclosed charity by Jolie and Pitt. Madame Tussauds in New York unveiled a wax figure of two-month-old Shiloh; it was the first infant re-created in wax by Madame Tussauds.

On March 15, 2007, Angelina Jolie adopted a 3-year-old boy from Vietnam, Pax Thien, who was born on November 29, 2003 and abandoned at birth at a local hospital, where he was initially named Pham Quang Sang. Angelina Jolie adopted the boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City. Angelina Jolie revealed that his first name, Pax, was suggested by her mother before her death.

Following months of tabloid speculation, "Angelina Jolie" confirmed she was expecting twins at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. Angelina Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Léon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by caesarean section at the Lenval hospital in Nice, France, on July 12, 2008. The rights for the first images of Knox and Vivienne were jointly sold to People and Hello! for $14 million—the most expensive celebrity pictures ever taken. The money went to the Jolie/Pitt Foundation.

Angelina Jolie - Brangelina Relationships

IS actually Angelina Jolie 722 x 686 - 149k - jpg gamespot.comAngelina Jolie, 492 x 351 - 37k - jpg anneofcarversville.comAngelina Jolie, on March 28, 1996, she married British actor Jonny Lee Miller, her co-star in the film Hackers (1995). Angelina Jolie attended her wedding in black rubber pants and a white shirt, upon which she had written the groom's name in her blood. Jolie and Miller separated the following year and subsequently divorced on February 3, 1999. Angelina Jolie and Onny Lee Miller remained on good terms and Angelina Jolie later explained, "It comes down to timing. I think he's the greatest husband a girl could ask for. I'll always love him, we were simply too young." While shooting Pushing Tin (1999) Angelina Jolie met American actor Billy Bob Thornton, and subsequently married him on on May 5, 2000. As a result of their frequent public declarations of passion and gestures of love—most famously wearing one another's blood in vials around their necks—their relationship became a favorite topic of the entertainment media. Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton divorced on May 27, 2003. Asked about the sudden dissolution of their marriage, Angelina Jolie stated, "It took me by surprise, too, because overnight, we totally changed. I think one day we had just nothing in common. And it's scary but... I think it can happen when you get involved and you don't know yourself yet."

Angelina Jolie has said in interviews that Angelina Jolie is bis*xual and has long acknowledged that Angelina Jolie had a s*xual relationship with Angelina Jolie's Foxfire (1996) co-star Jenny Shimizu, "I would probably have married Jenny if I hadn't married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I saw her." In 2003, asked if Angelina Jolie was bis*xual, Angelina Jolie responded, "Of course. If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would I feel that it's okay to want to kiss and touch her? If I fell in love with her? Absolutely! Yes!"

In early 2005, Angelina Jolie was involved in a well-publicized Hollywood scandal when Angelina Jolie was accused of being the reason for the divorce of actors Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. The allegation was that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had started an affair during filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Angelina Jolie denied this on several occasions, but admitted that they "fell in love" on the set. In an interview in 2005, Angelina Jolie explained, "To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife."

While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt never publicly commented on the nature of their relationship, speculations continued throughout 2005. The first intimate paparazzi photos emerged in April, one month after Aniston had filed for divorce; they showed Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and her son Maddox at a beach in Kenya. During the summer Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were seen together with increasing frequency and most of the entertainment media considered them a couple, dubbing them "Brangelina". On January 11, 2006, Jolie confirmed to People that Angelina Jolie was pregnant with Pitt's child and thereby confirmed their relationship for the first time in public.
