Our report yesterday about Angelina Jolie banning press from interviews and requiring interviewers to sign contracts touched off a firestorm. Mostly it was from colleagues who were relieved that we’d finally lifted the veil on all this craziness.
And it wasn’t just about FOX News getting banned from the red carpet. That was bad, but it wasn’t the central issue. Jolie treats all the press with hostility unless she can control the outcome of an interaction. Insisting interviewers sign contracts was an affront, considering that her movie is about the murder of a reporter who tried bravely to do his job. And then to pretend empathy by raising money at the movie for Reporters Without Borders. The hypocrisy and arrogance were overwhelming.[snip]
{snip}..It’s a good thing Jolie has an Oscar (for “Girl Interrupted”). She will find no support next fall when she wants a nomination for playing Mariane Pearl. There has hardly been a less sympathetic actress in recent history. Even Russell Crowe knows how to be charming when he has to.
[snip]..Jolie’s defense this morning is that a) her lawyer was overzealous with the journalists’ contract; and b) an “oversight” caused FOX News not to be invited to the red carpet. Both the lawyer, Robert Offer, and Paramount Pictures, are ready to fall on their swords for the star.
But neither statement is even remotely true. Jolie, the Ambassador, would never let her attorney distribute a contract without approval. And the good folks at Paramount Vantage know all too well what really happened. They cannot be blamed......."

She’s the new Barbie doll for the Council on Foreign Relations as well.
If I were the press I’d just try ignoring her altogether. That usually works wonders with prima donnas.
CFR is actively recruiting members to ensure the undermining of American sovereignty.
Who the heck does she think she is - Mrs Bill Clinton?!!!!!
NERTZ!
And they say NIXON was bad.
It didn’t bother me that Fox was banned, because I’m not that interested in what celebs do or think, and I won’t be watching the other networks, so I thought I was safe.
But now, if she backs down and lets Fox in, its just not safe to turn on even Fox these days.
“Paramount Pictures Corporation. A subsidiary of media firm Viacom,”
that name VIACOM sure does come up often around here, doesn’t it??
First, its not her movie. It is the directors and investors. She is simply an employee - one that if did that to the marketing of my product would be fired.
There is way too much talent in Hollywood to deal with this crap.
The press need to write her off as I as an investor will never invest in a movie she is in.
Looks like the butt head aliens in the first Star Trek show.
People can do much damage out of their own ignorance. If someone is going to be a member or spokesman or woman for important issues, they should take the time to research exactly who or what it is they are "representing" (regardless of where their own heart might be).
Wow, she’d better watch that big old vein sticking out of her forehead - that looks a little serious. Not that I care, of course.
