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.

92. Please... Put your money where your mouth is! You want to help the poor and underprivilaged? How about selling your planes, motorcycles, homes. I'm sure that would buy alot of rice and medicine for the poor!!!!
She is a HOME WRECKING WHORE who is trying to repent.
I feel bad for her children. Money can't always buy LOVE and STABILITY!

93. So glad I missed the interview..one of the hundreds Jolie does every year telling us she is going to stay at home with the kids... It is always about Jolie..oh how wonderful I am she tells everyone. a warm home..she is never there.. she went to party in NY (no Pitt or the kids) and then a movie and now Cannes.. Just go away..with your kids..and your live in house boy...the wimp..Brad Pitt. JUST STOP TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT IT IN THE PRESS AND ON TV.. Do It.. Act like a normal person for a year..let your dad see his grandchildren..grow up already.......How could any guy believe her BS..she just messes with his head and the talking heads who interview her. No hate here..no jealousy garbage..I got tired of the Cruise crap and Katie.....and now we have this pair...day in and day out..Just go away Jolie..

94. Oh give it a rest, people's marriages breaks up all the time. Angelina Jolie was a humanitarian and involved in children's lives before she "broke up " Brad and JEnnifer aniston's marriage. I'm a firm believer that it starts within. Now as a woman that's lost their mother, had a child, raised a family, its alot for the normal person, without every stray hair being analyzed. Give her respect, she's earned it, and she's only in her 30's.

97. I hope Brad gets what he deserves. I had all the repect in the world for him, before the freak show entered his life. He looks just like a tag along. She needed a daddy for all her brood she has to have. I don't know why she has to have all these kids right on top of each other. The poor kids probably don't get the quality time they deserve because she is to busy looking for another one to get right away. I agree with those who say, what about the poor kids and families in the good ole USA!!!!!

I don't see how B & A will stay together forever,..... he was married with no time for himself between his women, his divorce was FINAL in the winter before A's May delivery ( so that put her pregnant in August, for those who don't think they had sex before he was divorced). He became an instant daddy of 2 right away, then Shiloh came along. He hasn't had any time at all to adjust to anything, so I will give this another year at the most (he already looks unhappy to me).

For all of you who think Angie is a saint, PUKE!!!!!! The freak is not a saint!!!!! Besides that her mouth is grossly ugly!

98. Oh please..... with the way Angelina and Billy Bob carried on in public, I'm sure Angelina seduced Brad the first chance she got, WHILE HE WAS STILL MARRIED!!!! come on people, she is a hoe bag! There were pictures of the two of them holding hands in public on more than once while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith, WHILE HE WAS STILL MARRIED!!!!

99. Have you noticed that her kids never smile? I think that's weird. Kids that age are always running around, playing, smiling, laughing. Her kids always look somber or scared.

100. DO YOU THINK HER KIDS KNOW IT IS A "STRONG AND WARM HOME"? WHAT HOME, WHICH ONE? THE ONE IN L.A., THE ONE IN PRAGUE, THE ONE IN NEW ORLEANS...WHICH ONE IS STRONG AND WARM?????????

IF SHE THINKS IT IS HEAVY NOW, WAIT UNTIL THOSE KIDS ARE IN THEIR TEENS! IT WILL BE TOTAL CHAOS. NOT THAT IT ISN'T NOW, BUT IT WILL BE CHAOTIC FOR SURE!

101. I don't know why some of you think Angelina is so wonderful? She gives her adopted children more love an attention than her own biological one!! She said Shilo was "just a blob", I bet Shiloh will love to read about that when she is old enough! You never see Angelina hold her little blob, just Brad. Great mom you are Angelina! NOT! I also agree with #99.

103. Hey
Please spare me your feelings and long winded speech as to who cares about her husband stealing tactics. I care. So sod off. Some of us see a contridiction in her claming to be a kind humanitarian, And she takes up air space with her bull.
Funny how she is so afraid of any other interviewer but Ann Curry. It is so insulting to Ann. Ann is treating her as if she is semi retarded. She needs Jolie. She might be a little less ridiculous when she interviews her next time. And stop acting like every stupid thing Jolie says is gospel and profound.
How about asking her some tough questions about the way she adopted Pax? And stop letting Jolie off the hook. Why did she get a child so fast when so few children are available to other couples who have no children and have been waiting years? And how come she said she was going to stay home and let Pax asjust and she didn't? How come she changed a 3 year olds name? For someone who acts like she cares so much about children. hHer actions are selfish and damaging. She uses anything and everything to not be asked any questions. Her children her mothers death. Keep that stuff private and get to the actions of this women. She wants you to believe she is a good mother. From what I have seen. The nannies are the mother and Brad is the mother.
