Angelina Jolie, even the name has a certain rhythm to it. Love or hate her, you cannot be indifferent about her. To say she is a goddess is stating the obvious.
Has there ever been a more talked about woman since Princess Diana?
It is hard to believe that she only just turned 32, she has achieved in those years what most people will never achieve if they lived to be 100years. There is no question that Angelina is a trailblazer, always a leader and never a follower. What sets her apart from her imitators is that she is authentic, unlike the public relations manufactured images, she is not afraid to speak and live honestly.
The media has created an image of an Angelina that bears no resemblance to who she is, the tabloids especially have turned her life into a soap opera and creating drama where none exists. The tabloids have been especially vicious in their relentless attack on this woman. I ask myself why? What is it about this woman that so threaten other women. As one columnist so succinctly put it, “Angelina does not make us feel good about ourself.” This is a woman who at the age of 26 adopted a child while most of her peers have been parroting to the media about wanting to be a mother, Jolie doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk. Yes adoption has been going on long before she adopted, but she made it cool and acceptable. She has immersed herself in her humanitarian work, earning her kudos and respect from the experts in the field, she donates one third of her income to so many different charitable organizations around the world. Not only does she give money, she gives her time and her heart. She is a pilot, how many actresses can claim that?
Most insecure, self absorbed people cannot relate to her because she is not a train wreck. People can look at the train wrecks that are Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears and feel sorry for them and happily say to themselves,’Thank God my life is not that bad, thank God I am a better mother”, but that cannot be said about Jolie. She is a wonderful mother, a wonderful and loving partner, daughter and sister.
It is amusing how the media tries to force down our throat their version of Angelina- the man eater, this is interesting considering that her life has been so public and she has only been associated with so few men, two of whom she married. The media tries to portray an image of a cold and controlling woman, but yet again the facts do not bear that out. Everybody that has ever met her always say how sweet and down to earth she is, even Brad Pitt, poor man, did not know what hit him when he met her because the Angelina he met was the real Angelina and not the version created by the media. Her ex husbands still think the world of her and have the most positive things to say about her, unlike the eternal victim(Jennifer Anniston)who proclaimed that she and her ex husband were parting as friends until she realized that playing the victim and stabbing him on the back will be her best career move, and knowing that they are so many insecure women who do not have a discerning mind and cannot think for themselves.
Angelina is that rare actress that is taken serious both in Hollywood and Washington DC. The media try to create a caricature of her authentic self in an effort assure their readers that one person cannot have it all. At this point, she and Brad Pitt have baffled the tabloid and fiction writers who proclaimed that this union will not last more than six months, here they are going into their third year with four children and more being planned for. To read some of the blogs with the bitter women claiming they are over Brangelina, and yet everywhere they show up, the crowd swell, applauding them. Maybe the tabloids need to get with the program that more people want this couple to succeed. We are constantly told she was a wild child or all the crazy stuff she did seven to ten years ago with her ex husband, funny nobody says anything about BBT’s behavior from back then considering that he was old enough to be her father. Drew Barrymore was a wild child doing drugs and clubbing at the tender age of 10, and let us not forget about Johnny Depp trashing hotel rooms, but of course they are not Angelina Jolie and there is always one rule for her and a different one for everyone else.
Angelina is an enigmatic figure, very intelligent, very passionate and highly opinionated, I can’t say I blame Brad for falling in love with this gem of a woman. Her beauty shines from within. The tabloids have been throwing everything they can at her right now, hoping that they can break her, but my gut feeling is that seeing what she has seen in the refugee camps and the war torn countries she has visited, she has a better perspective in life, she is able to see the bigger picture and that is why her detractors will never get to her because she is on a much higher plane. I have a feeling that we will still be talking about this woman 50 years from now, long after the pity party has ended and the fake girl next door has been exposed for the fraud that she is. In the mean time, Angelina will continue to live her life with such poise, class and dignity. Staying cool and level headed in the midst of the madness, she is one cool, classy babe.
She has inspired people the world over by choosing a purpose driven life over a narcissistic and self absorbed one, her critics could learn a thing or two about making the world a little better instead of polluting it with their nastiness and ugly behavior.
thank you….you said it all….her detractors will never persuade me or sway me away from admiring this wonderful woman with her beautiful inner self and spirit.
This is such a very good article. Truly deals with what makes this woman iconic. It is not surprising to see and read that strong women in history are being vilified by the weak ones. I am glad Jolie doesn’t play a game of a victim but thrives on courage and doing what she knows is right.
OMG!! Your article make me cry; because it’s the MOST BEAUTIFUL and TRUTHFUL article ever written about Angelina!!
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU for continuing saying the truth about Angelina!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SITE!!
WONDERFUL article!! The best ever, about ANGELINA…
Hope you can write a book about her. That would be a bestseller. I am sure. GOD BLESS ANGELINA , BRAD AND THE
FAMILY.. GOD BLESS YOUR WONDERFUL SITE…
i am so glad to read something positive about Angelina,
Thank You!
thank you
you said it all
the detractors are on the wrong path :
they are preaching in the range of feeble minded women,insecure, not able to take responsabilities in their relationships and in their LIFE in general ;
And here is a woman, who got her life upside down, taking full responsabilities in her mistakes and weakness and taking advantage of her painful childhood to create a sense of self and a meaning in her life ;
And still, this wonderful and inspiring woman is bashed everyday ;
At the end , the icon will become a martyr for generations to come ;
Because when i read such absurdities in the news about Angelina ( the news are tabloids now) , i just want to support her the best i can ;
I enjoyed your article – happy that someone is defending Angelina. Would suggest leaving out the negative references to Jennifer though just to keep it balanced. I don’t think anyone needs to be painted a villain except for the media.
I love this article because it is positive about angelina,and most of the time certain people write negative things about angeline, and this is so positive she is such a good person and i know that is what brads sees in angie. that is why is she has such true fans.
I only wish your article could be published where more people could read it. You told the truth without making her unreal or too saintly. Really good article. Peace
Bravo!
The best article so far. So simple to understand for both fans and haters alike.
Thank you from an avid fan of Angie
Dear Maary, you say what I have thought but would never be able to put this in these clear words. Thanks so much.
Angelina is an inspiring woman, and I consider her as role model. In many situations I have thought of her and discover the beauty of being authentic.
She is a gift. I believe that people like her have always been a threaten to the society, the mainstream culture is destructive. And real beauty and goodness as Angelina represents would put the whole narcistic lifestyle in question.
I wish that the angel within Angelina remains strong and never breaks whatever evil things will happen to her. And of course I wish her all the luck and protection she needs to keep the gem of Angelina.
I wish that many people who can understand and see that gem in her remain and grow strong as they share the same perception what the world nowadays needs: the beauty of a heart.
(((BRAVO & CLAPPING)))) that is a GREAT GREAT article on Angie. I don’t think I ever read such an amazing article like this before on Angie, she is truly an incredible and amazing woman. I just wish it could be publish in a newspaper or something. Thanks for sharing it with us. Great job
Bravo!
The best article so far. So simple to understand for both fans and haters alike.
Thank you from an avid fan of Angie.
This is a great article. Honest and true. All the reasons above is why I respect and admire Angelina Jolie.
Thanks for this. I wish everyone with a good heart could read this~
Peace~
Maary,
Thank you, thank you. This is the best article I have read yet about Angelina. Everything you mentioned are totally true. You just voiced out everything we (fans) know about Angie that none of us could express on paper or e-m.
Thanks again for your intelligent and vivid write about Angie . 🙂
I felt like crying when I read your article. I’ve been a fan of Angelina for a long time. This woman never cease to amaze me; she is beautiful, smart, honest, straightforward (which is by the way a rarity in Hollywood). But most of all, I love her compassion for the plight of the poor and oppressed. She has seen poverty, she’s been a UN Amabassador since 2001.
Why do women hate her? And I mean WOMEN….
Because women tend to hate women who are beautiful, strong, intelligent ….and having Brad Pitt as a lover doesn’t help.
I wish that people would give her a break. She’s just living her life and trying to make a difference in the world.
BRAVO!!!
WOW, it was absolutely wonderful and it was a tremendous joy to read an article so honest and true regarding Angie. Many thanks, I hope more people will see what a wonderful and exceptional person she is.
Some people in US instead of cutting her to shreads should be proud that Angie is representing US all around the world and she is very much loved, respected, appreciated and they are in awe with her. Too bad some people can’t see that here in her own country! Thank you again…
Wonderful! Made my day to once again read something worthwhile and factual! Thanks to Sara for the support yesterday. Another BRAVO! to you Maary. Peace and Blessings.
Just a little fyi to any trolls looking to post nasty remarks…. your posts will be deleted and your ip blocked. It’s one strike and you’re out. That’s the way we do it here.
See ya!
OYWD
…..and that is why i absolutely love her. thank you!

Well said. For the past couple of months, I thought I had slipped into an alternate universe, with the way this witchhunt against Jolie has been heating up. Are we back in Salem? It’s really gotten quite scary, nasty, and yes, sad. If she were running around showing the world her privates, cursing up a storm, neglecting her children, acting dumb as bricks, saying racist things, going in and out of rehab, getting bad dye jobs and horrific haircuts, letting some neanderthal man suddenly be her mouthpiece, running to plastic surgeons, I could understand it. But for the most part, she’s just looking naturally fierce, living her life, taking care of her kids, and obviously keeping America’s “golden boy” happy. I don’t get it, but then again, I get it too well. As for Carl Rove, I’ll save my words for another response.
Great article on Ms Jolie. It expressed exactly why I have so much admiration and respect for this young woman. She OWNS her life and makes no excuses. If only the tabloids realized that every nasty story they make up about doesn’t kill her but makes her stronger.
By the way, you have a very informative and interesting site.
A woman who makes her time on earth worthwhile, she has been an icon to me. She will be one of the people who will be remebered forever.
Excellent article. It’s great to read something insightful and well written on a blog rather than have to see the usual regurgitation of slander and lies.
Love this woman… absolutely and wholeheartedly…
stunning , beautiful , classy and soft-hearted… all in one georgeous woman… Brad never had a chance 🙂
I hope a lot more people visit your blogsite ang gets the plain truth about Angelina. Good job guys!!
And I also see quite a few familiar names here too,
Hi jjoy, colsen, Alexanderina, guli, Dina#1, lola 🙂
Great article; thanks for saying all the stuff her fans have wanted to say. She is a phenominal woman and I admire her more and more each day.
i’m glad my fellow jolie-pitts fans told me about this site-a postive site with the trolls being deleted and ip banned-heaven-this site is now on my favorites-i see quite a few familiar names here-great
Love the article, thank you. I love Angelina Jolie. I just hope people will see how great she is. I admire her a lot.
Wonderful, well-written article. Thanks.
Thanks Mary.
I really believe that until she collapses or runs away from her present life they are not going to stop. Perhaps not even then.
Her continued serenity, joy and obvious happiness in the face of all the lies and hatred just adds fuel to their hatred. A hatred fuelled by money and instant fame, we have all seen the amount of press given to those who are supposed to have said & proven to have said bad things about her.
Jealousy, hatred and disbelief that they have no impact on her life whatsoever, must leave a bitter taste in their mouths.
I hope she continues to be strong. Her family obviously is her strength, so God bless them all!
I do believe that the other one started this witchhunt, with her ever evolving stories. And her ‘Pity Me; Don’t Pity Me’ headlines! Asking people to leave her out is like asking them to ignore the 50stone PINK elephant in the room.
However I do wish her well, because I also hope that as soon as she finds herself a man who is her type and settles, these attacks on Angelina will lessen somewhat! BUT as long as she remains single and continues her beach/dog walks, Angie will most decidedly remain in the dog house. (pun…sorry! )
I love your article. I posted my appreciation already. I just wanted to say,add that you described Angie very well. But you left out one small item, she rides motorcycles. I think that is important because it shows something that hardly any other actresses in HW do. For that matter something most women don’t do. She rides with her man and I can only imagine that he is extremely happy about it. Peace.
A great article! And a great site!
I’ll help spread your web site link to Angelina’s Asia fan bases.
One more thing I wish to let American JP fans know that the Asia media adores Angelina while the American press seems to always try to tear her down. She is very well respected here.
Guess the world sees something in her that Americans can’t see?
Great Article. So true. Well said.
hey maary, i LOVED your piece on angie and for that reason bc she is my hero and you have taken the words out of my mouth of why she is i am going to post your writing on my website but will put credit for you. hope that is okay, jus wanted to say she is the most increddible individual in our society today and i admire her to the fullest and your article explains why! thanksss!
I liked what you had to say until you brought Jen into it. Then you lost me. Sorry.
Oh Wow what a beautiful article on ANGELINA. Thank you so much Maary. I love it. I hope this will be publish on some magazine for all TROLLS and FANS alike. ANGIE is truly an amazing woman! There’s nobody like her, not even close. Yeah you are right she is an ICON.
Excellent article about Angelina!
I’ve read this article many times and I cannot say how wonderful it is to read something about Angelina where it is not some nasty piece re her weight, that ‘sick triangle,’ or she and Brad and splitting. Thank you for expressing so well, and so clearly, the many reasons why I admire her, see her as an incredible role model.
Never the truth has ever been said so eloquently. Thank you.
The overiding desire by the crazies outhere to besmirch Angie stems from jealousies, whether to her ‘the most beautiful woman on the planet’ beauty , her getting the sexiest man, her talent or her unwillingness to follow the society norm of what a woman, mother and hollywood starlet should be. She does not follow any standard or ready perception of the public.
Angelina Jolie is her own standard and live the way she wants to without any apologies. To many people especially women, insecure women who have grown up being molded by societys rules and painfully exists with the knowledge that their standings in their societies depends on what others think of them, Angie is an aberration, a woman who does what she wants and what she says is indeed someone to be feared and hated.
However, as long as we have existed, the truth shall always prevails and goodness always triumph in the endnand as such Angelina Jolies shall always rise and shine like a beacon for all who have always believed.
You have read our hearts and minds…and have put it into words. Thank you Maary and God bless you for speaking the TRUTH, the whole truth and nothing but!
A really moving article. Thank you so much. I couldn’t have put it better myself!!
I enjoyed your article – thank you.
