Angelina -- "This Has Been a Heavy Year"

Posted May 23rd 2007 9:18AM by TMZ Staff

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.

46. It takes two to make a marriage work, and one to end it rather than work on it. If one person wants out, that's it. You can either contest it, or not...but it still ends. Welcome to Divorce 101.

Brad didn't end it first and THEN hook up with Angie after the divorce was final. He didn't have morals or class or integrity. Men like that usually hook up with tramps and think they're "good women." LOL

Good women don't sleep with married men, whether they're happily married or not. And good men don't sleep with another woman, whether they're happily married or not. That's what the vows are all about--if you're unhappy and you truly want out, get the divorce first. Screw around later. Have enough respect for the person you took the vows with to at least keep it in your pants.

So, all of you "you don't know what they were doing" numbnutz, since Shiloh was conceived before he was divorced, it's a pretty safe assumption that married man and mistress were having sex, eh? Or did Sex 101 go over your heads, too?

47. I am amused no end by the hoard of hypocrites who vent that they are sick of hearing about her....judge her actions in adopting children....act like you know her, her children, Brad Pitt, her father, etc.
Yet here you are checking out stories about her on TMZ.
I agree with those who acknowledge that you can't steal something that you never had.

For those of you who are sick of hearing about her--go to some other site.

I paraphrase from the great Bob Dylan...."I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes...and just for that one moment I could be you......You'd know what a drag it is to HEAR FROM YOU!

And for those of you calling her a skank and a whore...it takes one to know one.

48. Hey Eyecandi,did you go to school? If your going to write an e-mail how about using proper grammer. Also, get off your soap box. We call them as we see them. Just that simple.

49. So she is pretty, outside of that she is taking children from one world to one with nannies etc. she doesn't have to bother with them. She is so highly overated. She has one big kid in tow all the time BRAD, he always follows at a pace behind her. Really, get a life.

50. Brad Pitt has turning into a pussy, he is the babysitter, how stupid to leave Jen for Angelina a corrupted bitch!.

Posted at 11:13AM on May 23rd 2007 by Brad has lost his balls!

51. I get the creeps every time I see a picture of this phony bitch. The kids get dumped in daycare as soon as possible, and she's doing movies all the time. How the hell would she know WHAT kind of house she has, "warm?" Not with that ice cold creepy Angelina snake sliding arounf in it. And come on, she is hardly a sex symbol, when could these two possibly even have sex, she is too busy making movies and avoiding the entire brood, including her live in baby-sitter Brad. That family makes the Adams Family look like the Brady bunch. She knows how to afopt, but hasn't a clue how to be an actual parent. And Brad got what he deserves. Oh, and Ann Curry sucks, what an over the top phony, Between Curry's phony act and creepy Angelina, I switched to channel 2.

I will stay away from any movie with that creepy hag's face in it.

52. The sultry movie star and humanitarian had visited Afghanistan shortly before Osama Bin Laden's attacks on America and spoke out after 9/11 urging Americans not to go to war with the country sheltering the Al Qaeda leader. If she said this about Iraq, it would of made sense. This movie is about a man who lost his head in Afganistan, after reading this, I highly doubt we will get the true story, she sounds like Hanoi Jane. Pitt is the pitts.
She is the main cause of her heavy year.

53. All you people who seem to think that she's a husband stealer, marriage breaker, whatever... Angelina is only one person. Brad Pitt had a choice in his relationship with his wife. Obviously there are things that go on in private that none of us know about. We don't know about the state of his marriage to Anniston. Also, how many of you, who shout about the piety and sanctity of marriage have been married more than once, cheated on your husband or wife, broken up someone elses marriage, are in a relationship that you hate but can't , for whatever reasons, find the reason to escape,etc. People who point fingers at others usually have three of their own fingers pointing right back at themselves. Or, perhaps you're lives are just so miserable that you hate ANYONE who seems to have made a choice to be happy when you don't have the courage or fortitude to make those decisions yourself!

54. LMAO you guys make me laugh. Really you don’t know what goes on in there life so shut up. Man you guys are celebrity stalkers LMAO. If she had adopting American children someone would have something bad to say about her. No matter what we always find faults in someone else but not our own faults. No matter what a celebrity does the media will find a fault to critize. Gee look at your own lives and ask yourself if you have adopted any American Children. Most of you wouldn’t or haven’t and if you did it would be a baby and not an older child. At least she is doing her part. All these celebs get so much money and they have the means and the money to adopt and they don’t. Also you forget adopting isn’t and easy process in this country. So before you critize someone else’s life look at your own!

55. Gawd, some of you people are so damn narrow minded it's almost pathetic!!!! Actually, it IS pathetic. Let Angie and Brad live their life with their children. Right or wrong, however they got to this point doesn't matter anymore, they are in love...

Jennifer Aniston is a whiny b!tch anyways -- can't stand her and I think she got what she deserved!!!!

Posted at 11:12AM on May 23rd 2007 by Let it go!!!

56. We have the right to state what ever feelings we have about (HER). She's a spot light , camera seeking...........baby buying.......marriage destroying..... fake lipped.......bugged eyed...
IDIOT..............who has BRAD PITT for a Nanny.....LOL

57. Not all marriages break up because 2 individuals failed, sometimes it's just that one isn't as commited to the idea of marriage as the other. Yes Angelina was wrong to hook into a married man, no forgiveness there. But Brad made the choice to betray his wife BEFORE confronting the issue of leaving her. In the end, we all make mistakes, some bigger than others. But everyone can be empathetic to those who suffer the lose of someone they love, whether it is by death or divorce. I hope instead of people defining all 3 people (Jennifer, Brad and Angelina) by a moment in time, that they allow people to move on and be judged by who they've become.

59. I have nothing against Angelina, and really no opinion of her personally. Afterall, I don't even know her. But, I do have to say that in every interview I've seen her, she rambles on and on, is incoherent and doesn't even seem to know what she is trying to say. So my conclusion to that would be either that she is not very bright, on drugs or just not very good at BSing. Although I do think she is a good actress.

60. Someone who admires her. YOU R A Pinhead. There is NOTHING to admire. She says she trys to be a good woman....yea in Bed with every man or woman in America is fair game. I hope he leaves her for a younger version soon and it hurts her really really bad. She must really feel guilt not to even realize that she stole somebodys husband. What kind of a person does not feel guilt? A Bad one....
