Before she set a toe on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last week, Angelina Jolies carefully molded image as humanitarian and mom was already showing some cracks.
The Internet had been flooded with reports, picked up from European interviews, that she had called her biological daughter a blob with less personality than her two adopted kids, and had criticized Madonnas adoption of a baby boy from Malawi.
Womens Wear Daily reported she was being difficult about designs from St. John, the staid company whose ads she appears in and whose conservatively elegant gown she wore to the Globes.
By the time she reached the end of a haughty, humorless walk down that red carpet on Brad Pitts arm, the Good Angelina image had crumbled to dust.
In the next days columnists from The Washington Post to LA Weekly attacked her for a television interview with Ryan Seacrest on E! that made it clear she was above such drivel.
His red carpet questions were drivel, but that was no reason to sneer the words Cereal, we made cereal when asked how the family had spent the morning.
Video of the interview was spread and ridiculed on Web sites like TMZ and YouTube; Mr. Seacrest complained about her on his radio show; the current issue of Us Weekly reported on more behavior fit for a queen in an article headlined An Angelina Backlash? There was really no need for the question mark.
Despite the charity work and the bun on her head, the burning question all along has been: Who is that woman in the St. John suit, and what has she done with Angelina Jolie?

A blob with no personality?
Sounds like the girl takes after her father
THE BLOB THAT
THE PITTS BIRTHED!
IT SEEMED SO PRIVILEGED.
IT HAD NO PERSONALITY.
I've never been attracted to her. Her lips are too puffy and she's over-rated as an actress.
Jolie sees no difference between that blob and life.
I actually think people are making too big of a deal out of this.
I've long said that my favorite age for babies is between 5-12 months. That's when their personalaties start to come out. Before that, they just eat, sleep, and cry.
Not much different than what she described.
She's hit the wall after the Marianne Pearl story this summer, now she's only doing sequels like Tomb Raider 3 and Mr & Mrs Smith 2.
if you read the entire article, you find out she didn't really say that... it's the journalists' take on the actual words... while i'm not a fan of Angelina, the journalists really are putting words in her mouth...
Um, she's not known for her acting ability. :-)
My son and I always joked about his two sisters being no fun when they were babies.
"They sleep. They cry. They poop. That's it."
The more important question to ask is "Why does Ryan Seacrest have a radio show?"
Just say no to any movie or TV show with Jolie in it.
Careful now. Please don't actually read what she really said.
I like how the article mentions her sneering the words "we made cereal." Oh come on, Ryan asked them if they had a big cooked breakfast - bacon, eggs, etc. What was she supposed to say?
Or how she "criticized" Madonna. All she did was point out that Madonna should have known there would be problems since Malawi has no adoption laws.
But hey, the media have decided they've had enough and are turning on her.
And here I am, defending her again.
I pray the media "turns" on hillary next.
She wears the pants and he's a victim of his sex organ.
I had read the entire article...and you are correct.
I just enjoy having fun at her expense because I already didn't like her and Brad much prior to this article.
Oh, they will. It will make the turning on Howard Dean look like childs play.
Moments to be treasured.
