Angelina Flies Under the Radar (Relatively)

Compared to Jennifer Aniston's battle-worthy phalanx of cops at LAX last week, Angelina Jolie arrived at the airport in Pune, India needing hardly any entourage, escorting son Maddox through the corridors and out to a waiting SUV. Jolie is back in town to continue shooting on the film "A MIghty Heart," the story of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl and his wife Mariane.

You may think that Pune is just a little village compared to the vast metropolis that is Los Angeles, thereby explaining the lower-key scene at the airport. But -- and let this be your nugget of knowledge for the day -- Pune is actually a major metropolis of 4.5 million people, the eighth largest city in India. Metropolitan L.A., on the other hand, has 4 million residents.

31. I like Angelina. Yes she is a little goth and odd sometimes with her choice in painting purchases, but Jennifer Aniston is WAY ovverated. Jen never won an oscar or Golden Globe I believe. I thought Angelina was amazing in Girl Interrupted and Tomb Raider [[she's a certified blackbelt from the role I think]]. Angelina is a high cool factor [Pilot license, travels to third world countries]. Jennifer however...I find her to be a bit bland and homely looking...

32. Jennifer Aniston knows exactly what she wants. She wants fame, money, and a movie career. Yes, she did talk about wanting a baby. I believe her. But having a baby is NEVER her 1st priority. I remember seeing her talking about (in similar words) "the next thing is Oscar" on the stage in one of her award ceremony. One of the major reasons for the failure of the marriage is the delay of starting a family. Brad has talked about wanting a family , not once, but many many times.

I also believe that the last 6 months of 2003 is their trial separation (although they did not announce it officially). We all know Jen was taping Friends while simultaneouly making the movie "Along came Polly" . To me, this is a really hectic schedule. As to Brad, that same year he spent 6 months outside of the country filming Troy. It looked like they purposely planned to stay away from each other.

Now, Jennifer has achieved what she wanted, (though not all). She got fame and money. As for her movie, time will tell. I personally dont think she will achieve the way she wants it to be. To me, in silver screen, you need to have a commanding presence. Jennifer Aniston just doesnt have that. I personally prefer seeing movies with Kate Hudson, Reese, Cameron Diaz, and Julia Roberts.

All her media appearances (Diane Sawyer, Oprah, Access Hollywood) of saying "a baby is on the way" is just a way to save her image. The fact that she was still smoking indicates she has NO intention of opening her womb. This is what baffles me. Why Not Tell The Truth or dont even bring up the subject? Even when the subject is brought up, she can just deflect it. She did it successfully on her relationship with Vince. But by repeatedly going to the media and lied about it make me question her character. . Her recent appearance at Oprah and saying that she and Vince are still on makes me cast doubt about anything she said

33. Jennifer Aniston spent way too much time in worrying about what she looks, how to appear in the public eyes.

We kept seeing her running to media saying things that have no substance. Who cares about whether you have a home grown boob or whether you bought your boob.

She should learn from Nicole Kidman. She never bad moutthed anybody after her divorce. She channelled her time into movie making. Look, she got Oscar.

What she is doing is actually backfiring on her, in my opinion.

35. She wasn't too far under the radar, she still managed to get her pic taken...

36. iI find JA very shallow and somewhat transparent . In any iinterview she has been on she has yet to say anything memorable . Her acting looks like she is doing friends all the time . I doubt that she will ever get an oscar . She might appear iin good movies because her agent will get her into those movies with very good actors who will help her to look good . But the movie industry is not fooled by this . And that over the top attempt to look like a much sought after actress at the airport needing 8 or more police escorting her was pathetic .

37. I just don't like Angelina. Yes, her money donating is appreciated but I don't think she's as wonderful as everyone else thinks..do you know how many celebrities give to causes and charities? they don't make a photo opportunity out of each time they do things like that though, unlike angelina. how come angelina gets so much credit? i doubt india really cares she's there besides giving some media attention. she's having fun and listening to little kids play music and things which is a nice thing in terms of going to visit a different culture..but what is she actually doing for them? just because she's visiting doesn't mean she's a samaritan now. i'm sure they appreciate her visiting but why do you all here in america think she's some angel for being there? she's probably doing some good while she's there but you know what..an actual samaritan doesn't have louis vuitton bags, high end designer clothes, multimillion multiple homes around the world, personal jets,...you guys give her too much credit that isn't really that deserved.

i'm not a gigantic Jennifer fan (I was always a Monica fan) but i feel really bad how brad and angelina were shady and brewing problems into a marriage he vowed till death do us part and then it backlashed on JENNIFER. i think she's pretty much over him (how can you want a guy back who has the audacity to do the type of W magazine photo shoot he did and at the time he did it!!!) and so i'm proud that she is looking for better. brad was a ULTRA jerk to her..you fans out there are so blinded with his looks that you can't seem to grasp how big of a jerk he was to his ex-wife. all these haters were being hard on Jen for taking some time to get over the divorce but hello.....with the divorce rate in this country, i know half you readers are divorced..it's got to be HARD..and totally in the public eye..and so much worse when the idiotic public is actually cheering on the 'other woman' and the jerk instead of empathizing...you divorced women would be furious if that's how your marriage fizzled and how the one to be blamed completely wasn't. so i think Jen is a classy woman for handling things so it's dumb to see the hating comments about how she answers when people ask about that part of her life.

and angelina getting a role meant for Jen to have (in "a mighty heart")...that's just like adding acid to the fire.

39. Angelina Jolie is rocking. So what if she is playing a bi-racial woman? I saw the picture of her in character and she looked great. Also if she is friends with the widow and the widow gave the blessing why should anyone else make a big deal about it? As far as Jennifer Aniston is concerned, she is a terrible actress and basically is the same annoying neurotic character in every role. I cant see why people spend money to watch her act when you can catch friends reruns on TBS everyday.

41. April,
JA was never to star in AMH. That crap and any Oscar talk was made up by the tabloids. Do some research, JA herself said at the time Plan B bought the rights to produce the movie that she would not be in the movie. MPearl said she sold the rights to produce to Plan B because only Brad(not JA) had read the book. MPearl and Daniel Pearl's parents have made statements supporting Angelina. That's the truth. Plan B belongs to Brad and he can cast anyone he wants to in his productions.

Marriages survive because the two people in the marriage want it to survive. No outside person breaks up a marriage. If a marriage fails, 50/50 of the blame falls on each partner, not on just one. JA irritates me greatly with her pity parties and appearances. She is lucky, almost all the divorced women I know are too busy supporting themselves and their kids to have pity parties. They get on with their lives. They accept that for whatever reason their marriage did not work, they do not whine.

42. Listen up leaveheralone! You are a fricken ANNOYING little twit! You really need to grow up, and accept the truth about this sorry a** b****! Oh! and stop acting like a little 2 year old, when ever you have to read other people give their comments; whether good or bad, we all have the right to say what we want. So if you can't take it, then go crawl into some corner or something, and make yourself scarce. Remember, this total loser, the MANNISTER IS SOON TO BE HISTORY, AND BIG TIME! I SAID IT HERE FIRST!!

44. If Angelina only knew how to address people with disabilites correctly then I would take her actions more sersiouly. Yes it cannot be denied that she does great work, but she needs needs to consider or become educated on how to address people correctly. I thought this comment was very rude and disrecpectful.


Angelia Jolie: "Disabiled people"

Correct and Thoughtful: "People with disabilites".

45. #43..you're exactly the kind of crazy I'm talking about..thinking Angelina's role as being much better than it really is..she's overglorified..she is not a samaritan and you reaaaaally need to choose your words carefully, because to even compare her and Mother Theresa is highly offensive.. You're obviously an overly obessesed fan that overly hyphes her..

And I love how you guys think you're sooo smart---does JA typically go through airports like that? NO! I mean there are always reasons people might need security..especially such highly known celebrities.. I don't know what her situation was but I know its unusual of her to have had security like that so I wouldn't write it off completely... now who really knew Hilary Duff was being threatened and stalked to the extent that 18-year old immigrant was doing to her? I'm just saying..don't think you always know every last detail.
