ANGELINA JOLIE thanks the charity work she does for those less fortunate for keeping her privileged life in perspective.

The United Nations (UN) Goodwill ambassador insists the poverty and suffering she has witnessed means she will never take her life for granted.

Jolie - who gave birth to daughter SHILOH NOUVEL in May (06) - says, "Just today I was breastfeeding and tired, thinking, I don't know how I'm gonna get through this. But I owe it to all the people (in third world countries).

"You don't think 'poor me' with what I've seen (in refugee camps)."

OMG! Her life sucks so much with all her millions that she has to think of third world people to make it through the day.

She said something very similar to that during her interview w/Anderson Cooper. Rehash, rehash!

Karizma · July 2nd, 2006, 01:08 PM

^ Yup the exact line she said to Anderson excluding the "i was breastfeeding and tired". 'FF' managed to make a news out of this line

She is a fake, she should stay in Namibia, go back.

Aww....poor thing, the other kids are being cared for either by a nanny or Brad, or both and you are soooo tired.

I love you Angie, but welcome to motherhood honey. The aftermath of labor/delivery is NOT fun. She didn't have that w/the adopted kids....

Boo hoo. I'm sitting in my 6 million dollar mansion breastfeeding my baby while my team of nannies takes care of the kids, my maids clean up, and my husband follows me around and obeys me like a dog. i have such a horrible life.

She knows exactly what she's doing. I find her to be one of the master manipulators of our time.

Pandora · July 2nd, 2006, 05:29 PM

I'm... speechless.

BTW, there is no longer such a thing as "3rd world countries" anymore. There are "developing countries" and "underdeveloped countries". There is no comparing a developing South American country (I live in Southern Brazil and have yet to see true poverty or lack of resources/education/technology here) to an underdeveloped African country, for example.

Typical; I need to focus on people that are so bad off just in order to feel better about myself. Sad. Alas, she is doing some good.

I don't know what's so wrong with catching yourself feeling sorry for yourself and realizing that you have it so much better than others and shouldn't complain. Most people should do the same. Even if she's not walking the walk and she really is "a master manipulator," it's still a better example to project and for people to aspire to.

WhoAmI · July 2nd, 2006, 09:43 PM

Actually, she said in the interview that she was tired and really didn't want to do the interview, but did it anyway because she thought she owed it to the people in the refugee camps to show their story on the news. At least that was the gist of it.
