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.

22. Every day in the United States, over 2,000 children are born into poverty. In fact, 1 in 5 kids under the age of 6 in the U.S. lives in poverty, which can put these children at risk for delays in emotional and cognitive development. So tell me, why should I admire her? She doesn't even like America. Remember her comments after 9/11? Feel sorry for Afganistan? Hope its true, take a year off and disappear in some third world country that you love so much.

25. Frankly I couldn't hate Angelina more, and I don't understand this whole Most-Beautiful-Woman-in-the-World crap. I just don't see it. That and she's just pure evil. I was happy when I discovered something she had said: "Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet"...for more crap from the devil's mouth: http://www.listafterlist.com/tabid/57/listid/2102//Sometimes+I+think+I+look+like+a+funny+muppet+Angelina+Jolie+Quotes.aspx
Also, turns out she would prefer to do sex scenes with women: http://www.listafterlist.com/tabid/57/listid/6572//Would+rather+do+sex+scenes+with+women+than+men+Angelina+Jolie+Trivia.aspx

28. Ann Curry is such a pathetic interviewer...she is way too touchy/feely and comes across as a total phony. She should have been axed along with Stone Phillips. What she was wearing on the Today Show this morning looked like lingerie. She stinks.

29. Angie is a total whack job. She's really "out there".
I feel sorry for ALL the kids she keeps amassing.
They NEVER smile and are probably xxxked up already.
WTF is Pitt thinking?

30. Is she going to pimp this movie right up to the actual moment of premier? Please give us a rest, Angelina, from your incessant jaw flapping. The vast majority of the world DOES NOT CARE. If you hurry, you can buy half dozen more kids before Christmas.
