After Goodnness, a Sudden Fall from Grace (A. Jolie Calls Child 'Blob w/No Personality')
NY Times ^ | 1/22/07 | Caryn James

Before she set a toe on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last week, Angelina Jolie’s 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 Madonna’s adoption of a baby boy from Malawi.

Women’s 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 Pitt’s 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.

Jollie is the perfect Hollyweird Nutjob Actress. She is Bi-Sexual and wanted to marry a Lesbian Lover of hers, who she has had a ten year long relationship with. The Gay Lesbian BiSexual Transgendered Crowd adore her. She has been friends with known Terrorists. Oh well, she is another pretty face that is fading with age.
