Lets Get This Party Started
Angie: Takes One to Know One

Angelina Jolie's weird brother James Haven says that he and sis Angie now consider themselves "orphans," following the death of their mother Marcheline Bertrand this past January -- even though their estranged father, actor Jon Voight, is still kicking up dust.

Haven says, "There were times when our father was awesome, but my biggest memory is that he would look more to our faults than to our strengths, and that's what was so hard."

"Now that our mother has died, we're two orphans, Angie and I, so she has a deep understanding of the orphans she adopts."

So Angie's recent spate of adoptions is because she can relate so much to the plight of orphaned children? She adopted Thai orphan Pax Thien, 3, this past March, who joined adopted son Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel, 10 months.


Jenna Disappoints Fans

Newly too-skinny porn queen Jenna Jameson recently underwent a botched vaginoplasty operation, and has lost so much weight that she appears to be disappearing. Now, sources say, she's become a disappointment to fans -- at last weekend's Exxxotica adult film expo in Miami.

"She was contractually supposed to show up for a total of six hours in two days yet arrived late both days and blew off the event 45 minutes early on the second day of her appearance," one source told the New York Post. She also allegedly refused to answer fans' questions about her weight or her surgery, and supposedly left early when she saw that fellow porn star Tera Patrick had a longer line of fans and admirers than she did.

For their part, event organizers say they were happy with her participation. Exxxotica's Jay Handy said, "Jenna fulfilled her contract, and Jenna had a classic Jenna fan line - the biggest line, that wrapped around the Convention Hall."

Jameson blames her extreme weight loss on stress from her ongoing divorce from estranged husband Jay Grdina.

"Greasy Bear" Gets Dissed


Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis is so unpopular, even his friends can't bear him. The oily heir showed up to a Details magazine party last week in Hollywood and became enraged when he was denied access. According to Page Six, "he started demanding that staffers get Stavros [Niarchos]." Niarchos allegedly told Davis about the party and was already inside. But when staffers found Niarchos, he begged them to tell Davis that he wasn't there, adding, "I didn't invite him here, and I don't really want to be around him." Eventually, Davis weaseled his way in, and Niarchos roundly apologized to his Details editor friend, saying, "You know I would never bring him here."


Party Favors... Fantasia Can Read ...The Stars Love "Love"... Ashlee and Pete in Love?


Season Three American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino sets the record straight with People magazine: She's not illiterate. "I dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and when I said I had trouble reading, they took it that I couldn't read at all," she says. Not true! Fantasia is currently starring in Oprah's Broadway production of "The Color Purple"...This weekend the stars came out for Cirque du Soleil's new Beatles tribute show, "Love" at the Mirage. "Lost's" Evangeline Lily and boyfriend/co-star Dominic Monaghan attended on Friday, and on Saturday, both Eddie Murphy and "Saturday Night Live" cast member Kenan Thompson were spotted at the show. ... Ashlee Simpson and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz claim they're "just friends," but on Saturday night they were seen kissing and canoodling at L.A. night club Parc, while the "O.C.'s" Adam Brody and Ben MacKenzie looked on. Wentz told People magazine in November that "Maybe in a different universe, we'd be some hot couple, but not in this one." They must have left the galaxy!

46. NO ONE LET me out of a nut house....but, I worked in several of them for many years.
I don't know, and don't care to know 'the family'...I get enough of them in the news, thank you. What does Jon Voight have to do with anything that I said???? I have outgrown the "happy meals", apparently, you haven't! Can you truthfully say that you have never looked at anyone and thought they looked 'evil' or wicked'?? If you haven't---then you are the one short on the fries! Evil is everywhere. Some people just have 'the look'! She certainly has done evil things and hurt many people to satisfy herself. Remember, this is the woman that was sucking Billy Bob's lower lip as he tried to talk at a red carpet event..then, interupted to say they had sex in the limp---as she tucked her vial of blood
inside her body suit! And , I so hope you caught her when she won an oscar and stood up to ram her tongue down her brother's throat! So, yes, EVIL is what I see. AND nuts
is what ''she be''.

"Leave stars alone??" What are you doing on this site telling us what to do? This is our work, our calling - to take the stars to task - each and every day. Wait until tomorrow, when we get the news of who is the babydaddy. We will go to town on that one.

Why don't you find a site that does whatever you want it to do and leave us to our work.

48. #38...You really shouldn't tell people to check their facts, you should check yours before jumping into blind defense ..............


1: Voight was present in their lives..he was a bad husband, he didnt want to be married to the woman, she was dependent on him for money and he was definitely into buying all the hollywood toys

2: According to the brother Haven, he was embarrassed because his dad had to drive him to the prom instead of voight getting him a car like the other kids. Seems like he acknowledged his father being around..he just wouldn't spoil them like other Beverly hills kids..is that really a tragedy

3: Parenting is not easy, people make mistakes and your children will hold you to it...seems like if you have snakes like these two they never forgive or forget
Tori spelling made a comment that once she had her child, she understood her mother better, it helped to heal the relationship..most people who have children know that feeling and yo will think twice about throwing stones at your parents when you know what it feels like to be one...In shot I can conclude that Jolie does not understand that parent child bond or else she and her brother will not be spouting nonsense

4: Voight took them to the Oscars when he was nominated, obviously he he thought well enough of them and wanted his family around him at his big moment.

5: Angelina has benefited tremendously from being related to voight...it helps to have an Oscar winner as daddy when you break into the business. Most o her nonsense was tolerated because she was john voights little girl....her roles could have easily gone to another actress who could also have gotten the awards..unfortunately for her she ans Brad both will not be getting nominated anytiem soon...see how Pitt was shunned in his last movie.....thats Hollywood for you..

6: Sorry folks, but I think this girl is a psycho bitch who likes to throw stones when she lives in a glass house....she has major emotional issues and her current hobby is just keeping it at bay, but when pitt has enough and moves on..its going to be a really sick time for those kids and I wonder if she will expect gratitude and forgiveness , since she cant bring herself to forgive her father...and for what exactly

7: I say voight should leave all his money to the foster care system in the US ...if they insist on calling themselves orphans.. Trump said it best about Jolie..she is BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8: The issue with their father boils down to his treatment of their mother....no one in hollywood is supporting the facts..however its has been said that Bertrand was gold digger and apparently her ploy to make money on her kids didn't work with voight.....its s sad day when you use your terrible relationship with a husband to poison the kids!!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=444390&in_page_id=1773&in_a_source

All I see are a bunch of dysfunctional privileged kids going on about did being raised like other hollywood celebs..some people have it worse, so haven should look around at the rest of America, LA, MS, AL and see that he won the previledge lottery.

49. That was a slap in the face to all of the real orphans out there. These people have no clue.

Posted at 5:20PM on Apr 9th 2007 by sk8rgurl

50. I was disgusted with the inference that these self absorbed celebrity creeps equate their interfamily squabbles with the real life tragedy of children losing both their parents in death. If future incarnations of Angelina choose to mend fences with her father he is physically there and available should she decide to reestablish her bond. That is completely different than people who cannot ever see or speak to a living parent again. I also do not speak to my father, so it's not like I don't understand. These people need to get over themselves!!!

51. you only get one father and one mother forgiving is one thing, remembering that family is family, right or wrong our family is our family that makes us who we are. you may not have the best dad but you have a dad. do you think it is okay to turn your back on him because he was not perfect? when your children ask for their grandfather what do you say "mommy doesnt like him so therefore you get to have one"?

52. JAMES HAVEN IS NO ORPHAN , HE'S A CRACK WHACK JOB... He is looking for publicity by slamming his famous dad lying and whining he is an orphan when he is not. GIVE YOUR BROTHER ANOTHER TONGUE SUCKING KISS ANGLEINA AND SHOW THE WORLD HOW NUTS YOUR MOTHER WAS TO HAVE INCESTUOUS BLOOD RELATED KIDS. Angelina Jolie showed us how insane she was when she threw a french kiss lasting longerer than any planted 'in' Brad. It was repulsive and scary. That Jon Voight left his wife who is the mom who raised these freaky and fractured kids was a wise move on his part. Their mother was a sweet wacko herself and no parent is a good parent who sees that that kind of sleeze Angelina has been and doesn't step up. It had to happen through their lifetime these two kids became fruit cakes they are today, and their mother has not been the most normal either. That this moron and bad actor James Haven who has his own questionable past should call himself an orpahn is proof the apple doesn't fall far from the mom tree. Angelina and Haven are liars and weird freaks and orphans exist in America too. Does Haven want to tell us the truth, that Jolie buys kids from third world countries so she can get free advertising for life, because publicity is what it is all about. She doesn't even love her own birth daughter. Jolie is a mental case and Brad Pitt is living in hell and deserves to be there for his leaving his own wife, kids or not .. cheating on Aniston when he was married with Jolie who cheats with most of her leading men and hey, her brother, the orphan. Cut the crap Haven, go suck someone else's tongue instead of your blood sister. YOU AND JOLIE ARE BOTH INSANE AND LUDICROUS .. YOUR MOTHER WAS LOUSY .. NO WONDER YOUR DAD LEFT HOME... YOU ONLY PROVE HE WAS RIGHT TO LEAVE A CRACK WHACK MOM WHO RAISED TWO OBVIOUSLY INCESTUOUS KIDS... HAVEN AND JOLIE .. THEY ARE BOTH SICK MENTALLY AND LIE .. THEY ARE NUTS.

53. Angelina is acting like a big, pathetic baby! No one has it easy- being petty only makes it worse. I know people who grew up while getting the crap beaten out of them everyday, denied an education by thier parents, tortured, not being allowed to eat with the rest of the family- and this person actually spent years and years trying to make peace...all parents make some mistakes sometimes, but that is no excuse to be a petty loser. What kind of example is she setting for her kids? That it is ok not to work out your problems, just to blame someone and that's it?

#12 - Dottie, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm trying to hold on & stay strong.
It is words from someone as sweet as you that keep me going. I'm so happy you blogged your word's of encouragement; it has definitely helped me. Thank You!!!
Bless You :)


#22 - Lettin Go.... you are so right! When is enough a enough?
I also come from a physical, verbal, and sexual abuse.

You are very wise.

After therapy, my Doctor's told me: "These people are not going to change!"
The only person who can change is "YOU". Therefore, I have had to cut some toxic people out of my life. (GOD, THAT WAS HARD!!!!). The negativity was keeping me down, depleted, and add low-self esteem. Have you ever been around someone so negative, that you go home with a horrible headache and it takes 2 days to get over it!????

I see myself in your blog.

I've alway's believed that just becasuse a woman can get pregnant, does not mean she should. Get the demon's out of your head first, because your children will go by the way side, while the parent's are so caught up in their own drama.
Children are not asked to be here; WHY put them through that!!!!!!!!!!

I am 36 year's old, and I have my Mom and Dad's VOICE in my head; that If I became a parent. I would really screw it up!!!!! I don't drink, do drugs, smoke, gamble the mortgage etc.... I guess I do have a long way before Letting go......

Thank You!!!!
Bless You:)

56. So you saw her tongue go down her brother's throat. Are you hallucinating? From what I saw, the mouth was closed, unless you saw something different. Again, that happened several years ago and the vial of blood thing happened years ago as well and actually it was Billy Bob who made the statement about what they had done in the car from the interview that I saw, I don't know what you saw. Angelina never claimed that she didn't have a troubled past, but when she adopted Maddox after all these things happened and visiting several refugee camps, it changed her life. She's already stated she was self destructive to herself, that's not news. You know, when you are around crazy people, you tend to adapt their habits, as you said, you've worked in the nut house for several years. If you've gotten enough of them, why do you search out for news articles on someone you don't like? I just don't get it.

57. Angelina Jolie is the most dysfunctional and hypocritical person I've ever known. She sure has some emotional and psychological imbalances, and would definitely need treatment. First of all, she should have first dealt with her own demons before she started gathering all these kids like trophies. She is privileged and wealthy, that's what she is, that's why she was and is able to get her way around these adoptions. That is a fact. Whether her motives are genuine or not, that should have been of utmost consideration. The authorities, who have managed to give her all the access, should have known better.

She has a dark side in her, and it is well documented. I'm not saying people cannot change, but she definitely had it so quick, if indeed she had changed toward the good side. This normally is not a quick fix.

She and her brother are portraying themselves as oppressed children "for not having a car in high school". That is so sickening.... think of the plight of millions of children dying and suffering in third world countries.

Yes, she's been doing some goodwill acts in the recent years, but with considerable media coverage... good media op.

She herself cannot come to grips with her own family dysfunctions, and even had the temerity to break up a seemingly good marriage for her own selfish motive... so why entrust children, possibly with broken spirits as well, to her care? Can't everyone see that her penchant for adoption is not normal? It would seem good for the kids now, but ADOPTION IS A PERMANENT ARRANGEMENT! She can't throw them away when she got tired of them.

Adoption is a sensitive issue, and I know would-be parents go through a painstaking process of of evaluation/analysis in terms of psychological and emotional stability, matching, bureaucratic tangles, etc., before they succeed in having one child which they can care for and love as their own. While Angelina Jolie is getting them like she's having a shopping spree.... these are humans we're talking about.

Lastly, and my final point. She can't even love her own father (the one who gave her life, name and privilege). No one family is perfect, but it's all we've got. She should not use the children to fill up a void in her own, dysfunctional life.

58. Oh, quit typing Alicia Cristina Bautista. First of all you don't know Angelina. Secondly, she's been doing her UNHCR work since 2001 and she adopted Maddox around the same time. Next, she has stated numerous times that she wants to adopt, what did you think she was kidding? Brad stated on the Golden Globe that he wants a soccer team of children even. I guess reality set in when she actually did it. She obviously broke away from her dad by distancing herself from him as she stated their relationship was unhealthy. I'm sure it wasn't just about the car, but obviously he wasn't meeting his financial responsiblities for his children. Why should they live a hard life and he's bringing in millions. That doesn't make sense. Your kids should be able to live the same lifestyle as you. No you don't have to give them everything that they want, but they should have the same opportunities as you if your able to provide for them. It wasn't just about money obviously, it seems he wasn't as nice as a person to them or their mother as you see on T.V. remember he's an actor. I am glad she took charge of her life and dropped her last name Voight and made it on her own as a model and actress. I didn't know she was Jon Voight's daughter until the made that last appearance together in Tomb Raider where she was telling him goodbye. It's very sad that people don't commend postitive things. They'd rather commend Brittany Spears (for example) for being a drug addict and alcoholic and doing absolutely nothing with herself.

59. I'm glad that Angie has given these orphans a home but I do have some concerns. One could hope that Angie has seen the commerical of parents behaving badly, or doing stupid things and then there is a statement that there are many foster kids who would be glad to put up with these parents, lol! No matter what issues she and her brother have with her father I truly believe it would enrich THEIR lives for these children to have a grandfather. I do have some concerns about the mental state of Angie though. I applied to be a foster parent and one of their requirements is that one has not moved in the last year, had a divorce, or have had a death in the immediate family within the past year. It seems that Angie has moved around multiple times and has had a recent death in her family and her relationship with Brad Pitt is relatively new. One of the reasons that the foster care system has these three requirements in this state is that they believe these three things are very stressful and can inhibit the child from coming into a good and loving enviornment. So, I'm not just concerned for the children but for Angie herself. I just don't think that having the good fortune of having plenty of money can set aside the issues of the stress that has happened in her life recently. Then, she shows that she is not emotionally mature enough to deal with her own father and the problems that present with the two of them. I'm also concerned that 9 times out of 10 when we see pic's of her and Brad in public that they have the two adopted children (and recently the newest addition to their family) and little Shiloh is not present. Is little Shiloh being denied companionship with her siblings, or are Angie and Brad saving her like the "nice china" that people reserve only for company or special occasions?

60. this might be alittle strange for me to ask and maybe i have missed something.... why is it that Angie can't forgive her father for telling her business ( by sharing the news of her adopting Madd) but she can totally overlook the fact that her brother talks about ALL of her business all to the time and to anybody that will listen???
I'm confused!?!?!?
