Angelina Jolie's true colors came out yesterday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to censor all her interviews.
Jolie is touting freedom of the press these days, playing the widow of murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in a new movie called "A Mighty Heart."
But Jolie turns out to be a mighty hypocrite when it comes to her own freedom of the press. Her lawyer required all journalists to sign a contract before talking to her and Jolie instructed publicists at first to ban FOX News from the red carpet of her premiere.
Ironically, last night's premiere of the excellent Michael Winterbottom-directed film was meant to support an organization called Reporters Without Borders.
Yesterday, reporters from most major media outlets balked when they were presented with an agreement drawn up by Jolie's Hollywood lawyer Robert Offer. The contract closely dictated the terms of all interviews [and] a violation... would ...make it possible for her to sue the interviewer and seek a restraining order.
That's not all: Jolie told Paramount Pictures publicists to ban FOX News Channel and all FOX News affiliates from covering the "Mighty Heart" premiere on the red carpet. It was only with the intervention of mortified Paramount staff that a FNC camera crew was allowed to be present.
It's a little unclear how Mariane Pearl, whom Jolie plays in "A Mighty Heart," feels about her portrayer's position on freedom of press for some, but not all. Yesterday, I spoke to Jeff Julliard, the editorial director of Reporters without Borders in Paris.
"Paparazzi should be allowed to do their job," he said, adding that he condemned Jolie's banning of FOX News

It breaks my heart when I see an otherwise attractive and sensible young woman getting these big ugly tattoos. Tattoos are forever, but this particular stupid fad has almost played itself out.
As my wonderful niece said to her less-wonderful cousin as he was showing off his arm-band tattoo, “How radical and non-conformist... in an entirely predictable and conformist kind of way”
Though a looker, her lips will blow soon, ‘cause it’s pretty evident her mind has already fizzled.
I’ve seen more attractive women.
Just another added to the list of movies that I’ll never see.
Another limousine liberal afraid of Fox.
Tattoos don’t seem to be an issue in this pic! ;)
Liberals really get bent out of shape over the truth. Delusions of Utopia cannot be compromised one iota, ya know?
Yeah, but if you look at any of the parts worth lookin' at, she has more stickers than NASCAR...
It’s not the truth so much as the source.
They know all the sources from the right, and try to avoid them like the plague.
Angelina Jolie is an opinionated yet mindless whore who has been elevated by Hollywood to virtual sainthood, meanwhile advocating having sex with your minor son or daughter and call it “tasting the world”.
IMO
Oh man I bet that fried him. Like Dennis Miller said “Remember when only bad asses had tattoos? Now some young kid will have to look into his grandmother heaving bosoms with a couple of dolphins playing in front of the sunset.”
You should have called the police and have them arrested for “decent unexposure”.
PRICELESS!
What was the cousin's response?
LOL!
Because it’s not entirely populated by their likes. Leftists do not tolerate any thought outside the collective, thus any outlet offering an opposing view is the enemy.
It seems to me that Angelina is putting the focus on the movie where it belongs. She and Brad are tabloid royalty. I thing she’s amazing and taking control in this situation is certainly her right. Angelina seems to have come a long way, and even her liberal tendencies may change over time.
