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.

31. yeah it's been a heavy year. Three kids in 2 yrs added to your family. As long as she can drop them at daycare everythings easy for her.

32. Who cares about Angelina? Ann Curry is an awful interviewer...way too sappy and phoney toucy/feely. They should have let her go instead of Stone Phillips. Her clothes on the show today looked like she just got out of bed.

33. Angelina is another screwed up whore. She's got a few screws loose. This pretense that she's got a heart I don't buy. Why do people worship these idiots!

35. O my you guys get a life! You guys get into people’s business way to deep like it happened to you or something. I agree it takes two people in the marriage to make it work and two people to make it fail. Angelina wasn’t married to Jennifer; Brad was so back off the lady she did not owe Jennifer anything. You don’t know what Brad said to her he could have told her it was over between him and Jennifer. Anyway you don’t know what goes on behind closed doors I wouldn’t be so quick to condemn someone; usually people who condemn others usually have secrets of their own. Sounds like a few people are pissed cuz they got cheated on in here. Really get out of there life. They don’t care about you so why care about there personal life. You don’t know that’s she’s not home with her kids. She has kids and she’s a working mother. So I guess everyone in the USA is a bad mother because they work and have kids??? Get a life seriously and to call her names just shows who you are as a person. I bet you have done things wrong in your life and no one is perfect. Sometimes things happen for a reason. You guys believe everything that is in the gossip papers LMAO get a life gee.

36. She wrecks marriages but can't forgive her own father for walking out on his....

She is a messed up cow...

And Brad Pitt looks so pathetic these days......whatever happened to him....

When you can afford nannies, private day care and the like I guess you can have as many kids as you like......the fall out from this stupidness will be seen a few years from now......

37. There had to have been problems in the Brad/Jen marriage or nothing could have broken it up...

38. If she is such a great hearted woman then why is she holding a grudge against her father. He only spoke the truth. Why hasn't she done more for the American children? Our country is also in need of help for its own children to have good homes. My mother and father adoped american and took foster children into there home. American children always get left out. Thats whats wrong with our country. America gets to involved with other coutries that we forget about our own.

39. Why is it that she only wants what other people have? I'm all for people adopting but it seems to fit into her psyche that she would want children that belonged to other people first. Just like she wanted Billy Bob and Brad b/c they were with other women first. She's a hypocrite and thinks she can assuage her wrongdoings by being a humanitarian. Great that she's doind good works and all but why doesn't she take time to fix her skanky ass self first before preaching to other people.

40. #4: She doesn't have a husband.

Posted at 10:44AM on May 23rd 2007 by Angelina has no morals or class

41. Margaret, she has to keep plugging this movie. She knows that the vast majority hate her. She has to play nice and give convincing interviews because she needs a hit movie. Don't worry, it should be over soon.

42. No, we Angie haters will not go away. The only reason she adopted Maddox is that she wanted children without having to wreck her body. And also it was a great pr move at the time. Billy Bob wasn't ready for all that so they broke up. Now she is playing this Mother Theresa card ever since her and Brad got together trying to place the focus on that and away from the fact that she is really screwed up, and not happy until she takes what belongs to someone else. I understand that everything must not have been rosey in camp Brad & Jen, but when you have someone like Angelina after you, you just don't think straight. He will regret this decision, if he is not already. They both get what they deserve.

43. She is pathetic!!! Does she still have "Billy Bob's" tattoo? Poor Brad, had a great career before her, now I don't care if I ever see him in a movie again......oh does he have a career still? Not sure, don't care.....he is a man who lost his own identity!

44. I think her father is right about her. She needs some sort of therapy. She goes after men who are in relationships, without thinking about the consequences. And while it's noble to want to adopt children from foreign lands, what's wrong with adopting children right here in this country? They need loving homes just as much. Besides, with the foreign adoptions, you don't know the true circumstances of why those kids are in orphanages. They may have been stolen, kidnapped, their parents murdered. You only know what that government tells you.

45. ANGELINA JOLIE WAS GARBAGE BEIORE MEETING BRAD PITT, she kissed her own brother in his mouth at one of the oscar's funtions, she had a lesbian relationship, she carried a pendant with her ex- blood in it. She is a rich freak, now just pretending to be mother Teresa, just wait when Brad leaves her she will turn into a monster with her kids.

She is a fake pretending to mourn the dead of her mother, how about GETTING CLOSER TO HER AGING FATHER, bitch!
