Angelina -- "This Has Been a Heavy Year"

It might seem like she's got a charmed life -- gorgeous kids, great baby daddy, killer career -- but Angelina Jolie says she's actually "in a strange place" in her life, and that the past year, with the death of her mother, has been "heavy."

In an interview with the "Today" show's Ann Curry, Jolie said that her life with Brad Pitt and the four kids isn't as "crazy" as everyone makes it out to be (though Curry informed her that someone had tried to climb a wall to get a shot of their chat). "I take my kids to school ... I come home ... I have a very solid, very warm home," said Angie.

But when the talk turned to her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died earlier this year, the actress -- currently portraying Marianne Pearl in "A Mighty Heart" -- acknowledged that it's been "a heavy year," and let the waterworks flow (just a little), chiding Curry for making her cry.

166. Wow, I was going to chime in with Shanna's post that has just been deleted. Anyway, Angelina Jolie claimed to be outspoken and honest. Nothing to defend and nothing to hide. It seems AJ is too good to look at herself why she provoke this negative impact when she is just trying to make a difference in the world. She should just stop with the passive/aggressive games to make herself misunderstood. People may not be all receptive to what she says or do, not "attacking" her.

167. I wish she would focus on her children instead of running from country to country looking for a new kid to adopt.. Rumor has it she has found another.. Yes I think all these BIG movie stars are Kooky! The truth be told I don't think they are happy to many reports that they are gearing there children up for a split.. But you know Brad did put Pitt on Pax.. Poor baby Shiloh she just gets brushed under the carpet.. Everyone just feeds on GOSSIP!! and their life styles that its enough to make you sick.. Jennifer Anitson however seems to have her ducks lined up unlike Jolie. Jolie has a dark side and as far as all the weight loss isn't that what we all just soak up.. I can't even stand to look at Nicloe Richie and some of the other ones.. The skinner they get the more pictures the press takes and so more magazines soak that right up.. Don't put them in any movies when they reach 90lbs..Pure bones its just so ugly.. I don't think she will stay put with Brad she is a wondering soul that's for sure.. Although there money does alot of good things and helps millions they need to make changes to their life styles..
