Angelina's Press Muzzle -- The Document

TMZ has obtained the now infamous letter that Angelina Jolie's reps sent out to the press in advance of interviews for "A Mighty Heart" -- and the range of demands is stunning.
Jolie stifles press: read the docs
To begin with, the document, sent from the office of attorney Robert Offer, demands that the interview be used only "to promote ["A Mighty Heart"]," and not "in connection with any other story." What's more, the letter tries to compel reporters not to use the interview " in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning or derogatory to Ms. Jolie," without specifying what that might mean. All this on top of no questions about "personal relationships," which presumably could mean any other human being on the face of the planet.

Yesterday, on "The Daily Show," Jolie disavowed the contract, which was first reported by FOX News, calling it "excessive," adding that it was her handlers, not she, who sent it out. USA Today and the AP, among other organizations, refused to sign the document.

76. To the Just an idiot observer or whatever you said something sit and whatever...I do have my facts straight...No I am not paid to be here by Angelina...and by the by Post #63 was not by me I always capitalize my An...but whoever posted that for me thanks...Although, I choose not to use that kind of language...but I appreciate the thought...BRAD produced A Mighty Heart and used his money, but that is not important here, what is important is that you people would find the bad in anyone...Angelina is not perfect, she does not claim to be and

For MYMYMY guess you missed the article that Angelina states that yes she got pregnant while Brad was still legally married...that is a pretty uncomfortable question and she answered it honestly...

And last but not least...Check your facts...if you really believe that Queen Elizabeth would let her Grandsons do a no holds barred interview...you need to put down the crack pipe and join reality...You really cant be that naieve...can you...

As for the woman that is having her 17th child yes she is a stay at home mom, and I give her a heck of a lot of credit...my point was if she could do it for 16 I think others can do it for 4...

Day care is not always a bad thing and if you want to go there, then am I to gather that any mom, single, working or otherwise that uses daycare is a bad mom...Sometimes Moms just need a break...I dont have to take my kids to day care...I work from home, but sometimes I do, just to get some adult time...does that mean I am a bad mother...and please be very careful how you answer, because you dont know me...that is what happens when you sterotype...

77. Heidi and the others that think that Jolie and Pitt are just collecting children to look good...Ask yourselves one question...do you really think that they would intentionally inflict that kind of emotional pain and distress on innocent children...If you do, then I feel sorry for you and I will pray for you.

78. I think everyone is sick and tired of of both these self serving idiots. They deserve each other, for now, until he or she breaks up another relationship.

79. Sorry i do not agree with you that collecting children to make your self look good in the public eye is a good thing to do.

She can not give the one on one attention those children need because she is always busy doing something else . Nanny's raise these kids and when they turn out like Paris Hilton and all the others everyone wonders what went wrong.


Just because you have money does not make you a good parent sorry.
Since she has a back round of being a cutter there is definatly a problem and having all these kids do not cure that .

80. ***************************************************
80. She's trying to cover her a$$, and having her attny take the blame. She knew what she was doing. It backfired. She had no choice but to retract...A little too late. She is not all she thinks she is...If she's going to have 7-14 more kids, do more movies, who is suffering here? I think kids are more an obsession than anything else. The kids will suffer from not having one on one attention. Maybe I'm wrong..Could someone tell me why a person would want to have 18 kids (if she has 14 more)? Even if she can afford them, why can't 4 make you happy? It's about greed. Brad makes enough money for her to stay home and raise the ones she has now. I suppose acquiring kids has replaced the cutting of herself... If she has all this love in her heart, why can't she try to make amens with her Dad? He wants to be apart of his grandchildren's lives, and she is denying it. She is a big phoney....always has been.

IMO

I have to agree - CLEARLY those kids were better off where they were. Can you imagine how much better their lives would be if they could have grown up in an orphanage in their respective countries? I can't fathom the reasoning behind adopting these children - and I'm even more confused by all the pictures of either Brad or Angelina holding them or walking them. Why in the world aren't nannies the ones taking them to school or walking them or taking them to the zoo? Sheesh - gives parents a bad name.

81. remember she is the bitch that was carrying around her then boyfriends blood around her neck. What a fricking freak!!! She adopts children from out of the Country, because know one in the states would let her adopt from here.

82. Sarah, You have me curious, are you a Doctor, are you a shrink, have you spent therapy time with Angelina?

I do have money, I have 5 children, 1 of my own and 4 my husband and I took in so they did not have to be torn apart in the "SYSTEM"...I spend a lot of 1 on 1 time, it is all about time management...I travel quite a bit too, I give credit to the Jolie Pitt clan, they bring their children along, sometimes that is not always wise, but hey, at least they try...I have 2 Nannies to help me and I do use daycare...I have 5 children so are you saying that just because I have money, use daycare, have nannies my children are going to end up like Paris Hilton...

83. justanobserver:

Inflicting pain? WTF Then again, Angelina does know something about pain, doesn't she..and that is self-inflicted pain. Her priorities are not in order. I question why she needs so many kids to make her happy. My opinion is because she is fulfilling a hole in a part of her psyche. She would do best by getting counseling to figure out why she has this never ending need to adopt kids. I'm talking about 14...Why not use her millions to spend on the orphanages, and hospitals in foreign countries. Better yet, adopt from your own country, if you must continue on your quest. I'm sure you can find many in your new howntown of Louisiana. She wants to lead a private life, then stop telling us about your 7-14 more kids you plan to adopt. That's personal, Angie. I have no respect for a woman who would get pg with by a man who has a wife.....who refuses to talk to her father, alto' he is pleading....wearing a blood vile around her neck...cutting herself for satisfaction.. a dozen tats. Matter of fact, why is she famous?

84. she has always been very very strange, and different. If that is what Brad really wants, then I pity him. I also pity the children SHE wanted and adopted, as they are just being used by her.

Posted at 8:57PM on Jun 15th 2007 by Tony

85. 61. People forget that Brad wanted a family. Very badly. No one knew how bad he wanted one until now. Jennifer and he just didn't share the same vision. Angie way ahead of Jennifer. She has so much more "depth" to her. The way she speaks about the vision for the future and what is important in a relationship. She has more maturity. Jen is a sweetheart girl, and I like her but I can see why Brad left her. There "visions" were just not the same.

OMG you think having a child equals depth? You haven't known many pregnant 15 year olds, have you?

No - what Sarah is saying is that only po' folk should have children. Jeez, I thought everyone knew that. Plus, being a working mother is a big no no - women are NOT entitled to have careers and children - everybody knows that if a woman gets fulfillment from a career, then she must be a crappy mom. And Angelina, well she's the worst - she actually seems to get some sort of fulfillment out of helping the world at large, instead of just herself, like a good little American. I'm sure you must be a rotten mom, just as the millions of other working mothers are - sheesh.

Posted at 9:01PM on Jun 15th 2007 by EngineeringMonkey

87. Sarah,

Wow, tell me how is that you know why Angelina is adopting so many children? And how is it that you know that she does it to fill a void? There are a lot of people that adopt several children, in the double digits, does that mean they are doing it to fill a void? How about me, I adopted 4, I might adopt more...should I seek therapy...

Also, Angelina has admitted to therapy, dont really know if it has helped, yes she made mistakes as a cutter, with the whole Billy Bob thing, does that mean she cant change? Does that mean people cant change, if not then somebody better alert the Mental Health sector of the medical field they are wasting time and money on rehabilitation.

88. Engineering Monkey...You are funny...Good Posts keep em coming they make me laugh...Thanks for that...

Well, I have to go put my kids in the tub and send them to bed, bed time 9:30 in my house...or should I let the nannies do it?

Posted at 9:11PM on Jun 15th 2007 by Just An Observer

89. I don't understand why she doesn't just adopt 15 kids at once and get it over with. That way the family doesn't get suddenly shaken up (at least with a natural birth the siblings get 6-9 months to get used to having a baby around) by the addition of another sibling who may be older or younger, whatever child Angie has fallen in love with while trolling orphanages.

I think Jolie used to collect lovers for validation and love and she's transferred her need to children now.
