WASHINGTON: Hollywood femme fatale Angelina Jolie wants to become a pilot so that she can ferry aid workers and food supplies around the world and impress her young son Maddox with her jet setting adventures.

The Tomb Raider actress is studying hard for her license and has given herself a five-year deadline to master flying so that she can take to the skies on a whim, reports Imdb.

Jolie insists she'll withdraw from acting once she masters the cockpit, and spend more time working for the United Nations, for which she's an ambassador for refugees.

"My dream is to retire in a few years and take six months and deliver food and help people get from one place to another and just loan out services as a pilot and be with my kids. I could just go.

"Part of this motivation, I'm convinced, is that every time Mad sees a plane he goes, 'Ahhhhh! Mama!' And the idea that I could actually fly a plane by the time he's four? I'll be like Superman to him.

"We could get to Ireland in a half hour. 'What do you want to do Mad? You want to go get Ice Cream in Spain?'", the actress, who has a home in England, was quoted as saying by the report.

If you have watched her on a talk show you know she is not bright enough to become a competent pilot.

Oh thanks, but I dont do turtles.

I want them young, pretty and nuts beyond reason, but IN THAT ORDER.

Soon you'll fly all around the globe
With hope in your heart and a designer wardrobe
But the thing that's a positive must
Is a little bit of pixie dust
You and a bit of pixie dust
Will keep our world from going bust

You can Fly! You can Fly!
You can Fly! You can Fly!

The nuttier the woman, the better she is in the sack.

As nutty as she is, I don't know if I would survive it, and I know I would be afraid to sleep afterwards.

No, but she could sit on one's lap and pretend with the best of them.

Glad you clarified that! :)

"My dream is to retire in a few years and take six months and deliver food and help people . . ."

Okay. Just so long as she doesn't hold it against the rest of us for amassing one hundred million dollars before we, too, devote our lives to charity.

[Pukin Dog]

To R Kelly's "I believe I can fly"

I believe she can fly
I'll get her up there and enjoy the pie
She'll think about it every night and day
I'll spread her wings and then I'll have my way

I believe she can soar
And when were done I wont call her a whore
I believe she can fly
I believe she can fly.....

Methinks this MENSA graduate has her film roles and real life hopelessly confused, though her heart is in the right place.
I wish her luck. I hope her experience is better than those five well-meaning "missionaries" in Iraq last week.

WASHINGTON: Hollywood femme fatale Angelina Jolie wants to become a pilot so that she can ....impress her young son Maddox with her jet setting adventures.

Well, now there's a super-groovy reason for a woman to go into a career. (Not!)

Most people solo in 10-15 Hr.

Hey! Watch it buster!
I was told that 40 hours was "average" and it took me 60.

But then I am really anal about wanting to feel totally in control of an environment that can be unpredictable, unforgiving and can kill me. But that's just me. I would at least hope that I have a little more smarts than John Denver did (if not his money).

I think everyone's being too hard on the wench. At least she's going to actually DO something, rather than just complain and blather and demand that other people be taxed to death, while herself hanging on to every buck. Imagine how nice it would be if the entire cult of loony Hollywood lefties would take up flying and refuse public interviews.

Besides, she's nuts enough to load her plane up with Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen, Chris Penn and a lot of other irritating celebs and dump them in the Sudan.

That would be great relief for all of us.

[MississippiMan]

IMO, these "types" feel guilty about having so much and don't really believe they deserve it.

Exactly. It's all about assuaging their conscience. That's also why they push for every perverted, depraved behavior they can find. They long to feel normal, to be convinced that their own putrid, self-absorbed lifestyles aren't so bad.

Shes obviously gotten waaaaay too "into" her roles.

This is delusional.

[Pukin Dog]

60 hours? I hope you were not paying for all that. Did you get a flat rate instruction series?

[freedumb2003]

Stick to what you do best, mouthing other peoples' words!

As an actress, she stinks. She's at best so-so in the looks dept. She's J-Lo with a pedegree.

I agree with you. Besides, she's actually getting her hands dirty in her UN job, as opposed to just giving money to the cause and whining.

It must be great being really, really rich and really really stupid.

Anyone close to stupid who tries to be a pilot will quickly find themselves really really dead.

One of the reasons I laugh my A## off when some twit pundit or reporter questions Bush's intelligence. Ain't no one of inferior intelligence who walked away from flying Fighters....

[philetus]

How much aid will she be able to carry with all the reporters, TV cameras, and groupies in the plane?

[Bullish]

Please stay at your home in England and don't come back to Amjerica.
