Angelina: Iraq and Roll

Globe-trotting, tattooed do-gooder, Angelina Jolie, swapped the tony Hamptons to visit war torn Iraq. The United Nations Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador is in Iraq visiting refugees displaced by the war, and will also visit US troops.
Jolie with the Troops
As reported by People, Jolie arrived in Iraq on Tuesday after visiting Syria on Monday. TMZ contacted the United Nations, who told us that Jolie was traveling sans entourage on her humanitarian mission.

The photo, from OK! Magazine, was sent in by the mother of a US Marine from Denver. It was taken today in Iraq.

The UN was responsible for travel arrangements, and said they wouldn't comment on security measures taken to protect Jolie. Travel arrangements for special ambassadors typically take two weeks to prepare, but in the case of Ange, the agency needed a whole month. Jolie will return to Damascus this evening, then back to Brad and their precious brood.

63. jennzz, you are showing your true colors now. Yes, it makes you happy to say ugly hateful things about others. You sure don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot, do you, you worthless piece of ....! I think people should think about what they say about other and post accordingly. And think about how saying ugly things hurts just like a fist. Some people on this web site think think because they can throw out (up) some ugly opinion, that is has merit because it is in print form. They say whatever stupid ugly thing comes to their tiny little brain. Once in a while, it is good people are held accountable for their actions.

65. First and foremost, often the UN calls upon celebrities such as Jolie (Audrey Hepburn in the past) and others to draw attention to famine, malaria, devastation from wars, floods, droughts etc. and the needs of those people caught up in such tragedies worldwide. I, for one, regardless of what some on this board think of Jolie, applaud her for her efforts. Let's look past what she does in her personal life that is always reported, and look at how she lends her name to the UN to help others and to better their lives. If she is using her work in the UN to rid herself of past demons, garner publicity, etc., so what?! Some good at least comes from it. I would rather read of her charity work for the UN anyday over the crap endlessly printed about self-absorbed, selfish, "no reason to be famous" skanks like Brittany, Paris, Lohan, and the rest of their bunch. They each should try giving back to this world by also getting involved with the UN, March of Dimes, UNICEF, and countless other charities. Angelina Jolie....you are ok in my book.

66. Let's see a bunch of bad press here and criticisms so she goes off to Iraq to try to a bit harder to get everyone to see how much of a Mother Teresa she is. I would bet this is very self serving even if it does take guts to go there. I am sure she is well protected and distracting to military personnel.

74. She looks rediculous in that helmet: and that mouth!. ICK!! (Whatever floats your boat BP, people just weren't expecting you to stoop that low.) Woo! Anyway,,,
She'll do anything to stay in the tabloids. Like we really need a celebrity over there while our men are trying to win a war. Is she suppose to give insentive to the troops? Like what, adopting Iraqi babies? (no offense babies) but I don't see how her being there will help the troops find order in that country or Bin Laden. They need to concentrate on the dangerous surroundings and not her presence! I don't remember an announcement being aired that there's a show to put on. She really needs to stay home. Wherever she calls home. Hey ! Angelina! Ever hear of The United States of America? Remember the children you have IN The United States of America? Maybe you should ask one of your favorite countries to adopt you!
She'll do anything just to keep her name in the papers. With all the globtrotting she does, there is no way that she can keep a relationship and take care of children properly. Somethings gotta give pretty soon.
I like comments #10 & #12.
