Angelina Jolie: Don't Remember Me as an Actress

Gia is officially Mother Theresa — or so thespian-cum-humanitarian Angelina Jolie hints in an interview for the July Esquire. "I have no animosity toward Hollywood or the demands of the red carpet, all that silliness. That's my job, and I'm happy to have it," she says. "But when I die, do I want to be remembered as an actress? No." Citing an op-ed piece she recently penned, Jolie says, "At the end, it didn't say I was an actress; it said that I was a U.N. goodwill ambassador. And I was really proud."

Jolie also shares that she, Brad and their brood bond in bed on Sundays — "Everybody sleeps together," she says, turning what at one time for her male fans would have been a provocative three-word phrase into terribly G-rated fare. "Some people have their lives together and then they have their children. Brad and I are starting with the children and are planning to have our time together in our later years." OK, I'll go first: Awwwww!

Seriously, the more she speaks, the less I can listen. I like it much better when she says nothing. Oh boo hoo! Poor Angelina! She doesn't want to be known for something that allowed her to do the things she wants to do. If she was a regular average person, she would never have had the resources to travel the world and adopt every cute orpahn she sees. Sorry Ang, not only will you be remembered as an actress, but also and actress that makes terrible decisions. Oh and no one can forget that you are a homewrecker. Just ask Laura Dern and Jennifer Aniston!

Okay I can admire some things that she has done without admiring her. I think that she could do these things for others and stop talking about how she is doing it. It's getting press for these things, I don't really need to keep hearing talking about it. I'm always going to remember her as the goth girl who made out with her brother at the Oscars.

Jam fan, have you ever looked into what Angelina does as a UN goodwill ambassador? Yes, you are right that she is able to go around the world adopting children because of being an actress, but she risks her life to go into war torn countries to visit refugee camps to create awareness. If she's using her fame and fortune to help those who need it, then good for her. I admire her for her work with UNHCR.

I could never criticize someone for doing a good thing. I don't get that at all. There are plenty of loser celebrities getting DUIs and endangering others on the road for us to criticize. I think we should thank God for the AJ's of the world.

Having seen bits and pieces of a few of her movies, I can assure Angelina Jolie that I will not remember her as an actress.

Her brotherly kiss made me queasy, but I have to say that she is doing good things for orphans. However, if she adopts again, could she help some poor orphan that isn't so darn cute? I see superstar looks on these kids. Coincidence, or were they lined up like little supermodels?
