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.

91. The reason she and her Dad aren't speaking is because he mentioned to the press that she is mentally unstable, and wants her to seek help. If I did the things she has done I would accept my Dad's suggestion. At first it would tick me off, but in time I would realize he is right, and make amens. He is concerned because he loves her, and was not about Jon wanting attention, as Angelina stated. He is a star in his own right. At least he gets to see Shiloh in the media photos (when Brad is holding her) Those are not as plentiful as the other foreign kids. She seems unattached to her bio child....even called her a blob, whatever that means. She should consider seriously she and Brad's relationship before adopting more. If he falls for another woman, she will see how hard it is being a single parent with 18 kids...and yes, even with loads of money it won't be easy. Many times women who break up marriages are left holding the diaper bag.

IMO

92. Just An Observer I could care less about your personal life.

You will not change my mind this woman collects children and i am not the only one that thinks she does.

Why who knows, filling a void in her life , rubbing it into Jens face, trying to make her marriage to Brad look good? Trying to make herself look all fixed and not so weird in the public eye?

Mother Teresa she is not so get over it.

I really do not care why It is just my opinion to which I am entitled to mine as you are yours.

97. The press has simply taken this out of context from what the intentions was.......a means for Jolie to do many interviews but keep them brief and focused on the movie itself.

Interviews can be doggard with reporters asking questions ranging from what's your take on the Paris Hilton scandal to what type of toilet paper do you use to wipe your butt with.

Though not a movie fan of Jolie, I do admire her genuine and sincere efforts when it comes to impoverished children and battling world hunger. And, who are we to judge her adopting children from abroad. That's her desire, passion, and family unit. And, the public has no right to stand in judgement.

98. I thought Paris Hilton was the only one who blamed things on the handler. Clearly Miss Jolie does not want to take responsibility for her actions just like Paris.

99. Angelina-Jolie,, and Brad Pitt ,,SUCK...

Those two think they are god's gift to the world... WHT A JOKE.. Everyone has not forgotten,,that both Angelina and Brad where born into the celebrity/famous
families... They both were brought up spoiled and into fortune... And
it shows...

Angelina is a FREAK,, she has broken up moremarrieges/relationships in Hollywood,,and made out with her own brother,,Hey Jolie nothing like keeping it in the family...lol..

Then she does a movie with Brad,,and sets her clause into makeing him daddy to her
adopted kids,,,, along as makeing sure she has him ,,she gets
PREGANT while he isSTILL MARRIED TO JENNIFER... Then bad enough,, SHE
FLAUNTS IT,, IN THE PUBLIC/MEDIA..She is a bitch,, and now she teaches
Brad how to use the media outlet to their benefit,,, he jumps on the
MISLEAD WAGON..

Now those two act like their god's gift to the WORLD.... lol,, I THINK NOT...LMAO...They minuplate the media all the time ,,to benefit them.... THE LOVING FAMILY,,LOVING MOMMY AND DADDY,,, BS...LOL.. IF THEY WHERE SO GREAT,,, AND TRUSTED EACH
OTHER,,,AND WAS SUCH THE LOVING FAMILY THEY PLAY TO BE,,,WHY NOT GET
MARRIED????? But Brad cant trust her,,, so their is no marriege in
discussion.. And he is only adopting Angelina foster kids,,so he gets
in the public lime light,,, of what a wonderful guy,,wonderful father
he is.... BS..lol...

Angelina is a CRUED BITCH,,and she shows it when
she wants to be the one pulling the strings with the media... The
public should down - grade/ratings the movie,,so they take a loss,,
at the theatre's... Oh ya,, didnt her role on this film,,, be paid
with dear Brad/father to her kids,,, produce/ money this movie,,or
was it from his production company,,,,,that fronted the money on this
film??? oh and by the way,, when brad was married to jennifer ,,he promised her the role,,, when he hooked up with angelina,,, jennifer was out the door cold,,,,I have no attentions on seeing this movie,,if she is going to play games like that.... with the media....

Her life is a FAKE,,,,,,and she wants to be protrayed in the media,,thats she
wonderful,,women....and that her family and her life with Brad is
great,,, which is far from the truth... The media,, is for FREEDOM OF
SPEECH ,, and if she wants to control that,,, she needs to move to
another country,,,and raise her loving family...and take her sidekick
with her,,BRAD..

102. lvyria:

Right on..She should move to a foreign country. She seems to like the ppl more than the Americans. Maybe she'll go to Iraq soon, w/o protective gear. I will not waste a dime on her movie. She has made a mockery of the American family...having a child out of wedlock...disrupting marriages.. A role model she is NOT.

103. Tolerant Jolie? What an oxymoron!!!...... Little Miss Jolie refused to let Fox interview her (Fox actually gave the movie the best review) ...Angie dear, this is not Cuba or Venezuela or Nambidia. We have a free press and if you sold the pictures of your children to "THE PRESS", then the press think you are a whore and will treat you accordingly. Got it?

We understand you don't believe in the press freedom of speech, just YOURS.

Blame your lawyers, your mother, the UN, your ex-lovers, blame everybody. We know it's not YOUR FAULT. Your are a saint, a Mother Therese, a UN embassador. A perfect woman. You are a genious..You probably think Lennon was a brilliant social commentator and Aniston an inconvenient punching bag. You keep count of how many people you know in each racial or ethnic category and then you take them home, you adopt them. You think that make you look "good". We feel you.

We understand, Political correctness means always having to say you're sorry. You have a lot of sorry's to said.. Just a question, just how stupid do you think we are? Pretty stupid, eh?

104. Of course Jolie lied and then let the lawyer take the fall. You would have to have an IQ of less than 2, or absolutely zero life experience, not to realize that she's pathological.

105. I agree with #3-Rick. Who gives a hoot what the skank does? I rather spend my hard earned money seeing Anna Nicoles flop BEFORE I would on a Jolie movie.

BTW>>Who would have any respect for a woman, who during a interview, stated she feels more love for and gives more attention to a kid she went and purchased than her own flesh and blood.

Note to Brad...Grab Shiloh and RUN RUN RUN!!!!! Jolie is holding you back and you have had no career since you laid down with her.
