Angelina Jolie visits the USO
June 30, 2009 by Sherry
Once again, we can demonstrate that despite the naysayers’ claims to the contrary, Angelina Jolie does not self-promote by advertising all her good deeds. Rather, those good deeds come out to the public because other people involved want us to know. Take, for instance, the fact that Angelina visited the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
The only reason this came to light is not because Angie herself screamed it from the rooftops – we heard about it because the USO group posted photos of her visit on Facebook. Go check it out!
Also, totally stating the obvious but goodness she looks gorgeous!
(Thanks JM for the heads’ up about the USO photos!)
WOW! Gorgeous like always.
She is the real deal. No other celebrity does what she does without fanfare.
I miss the Jolie-Pitt family.
Nice to know that she made this visit. It must have made these patients feel happy to see her. Maybe she and Brad will do other good works while they have the extra time. OT: I was standing in the gocery line and one of the magazines had a headline that the twins are being kept hidden because they are very sick. I use to be able to chuckle to myself before, but now I get very angry. Enough is enough, the children should be off bounds.
^ Mary Ann, i saw that too. i thought that was hitting below the belt. i mean, those are still babies for crying out loud. life & style is a t r a s h.
anyway, i think Angie is looking very good on those photo. she was very pretty.
mary ann! yeah! read that one in life and style and its really ridiculous!! i mean they’ve even said that the twins are allergic to almost everything! don’t know what they mean by everything there.. goodness! how they made stories really amazed me! well, it’s just tabs anyway.. don’t believe it!
but back to the topic, Angie really has a good heart. she cares for everybody! and you know, just visiting the patients there and seeing her really would make them feel better! she looks lovely in the third pic! love her smile, it’s so warm.. can’t explain it much!
does this woman ever look bad?!?! because i don’t think she does!
anyway, something has to be done to these tabloids, they have to be proven wrong as much and as often as possible!
Doesn’t she has pregnant or wearing 2 cloths inside? She looks pretty with straight hair. I am so happy to see her photos. Bless god her family happy.
Thanks Sherry & JM for the USO information and link. Angie looks lovely as usual. It’s unfortunate that some of the public are not aware of all the good deeds Angie does right here in the U.S. But it doesn’t matter because she doesn’t do it to get their stamp of approval. She does from the heart, and I think that’s why we’re such big fans of her and Brad’s. They are good people.
Angie looks fantastics. She did it in a quiet way but a mil. dependent leaked the story & pictures.
I’ve seen that tabloid trashy story about the twins. I can’t blame Brad & Angie from keeping them away from the limelights, tabloids will do anything to get a glimpse of them but so far they are doing a poor job, they can’t get any pictures of the twins while they were in NY & in L.A.I do miss seeing them though. God bless the Jolie-Pitt family.
Thumb up for Angie! I am pleased I don’t read those magazines because the journalists fabricate so much to make anyone’s life not worth-living if people concerned ever read these articles. All these ‘close source’ and ‘good friends’ who tell on their friends are not worth having either!
Anyway, God bless the Angie & Brad’s little tribe!
kimmy- Well, some kids ARE allergic to almost everything. However, that’s EXTREMELY rare, and it’s very doubtful that’s the case with the twins. If something that major was going on, we almost certainly would have heard about it from a much more reputable source long go.
Mary Ann- I saw that as well, just a few days ago while I was still on vacation. Interestingly enough, my thoughts and reaction were the exact same as yours. I just could not look at that headline and laugh at it. Like you said, enough is enough!
I also just shook my head at the fact that the headline is so different from what they used back when Shi was the twins’ age and all the “Where’s Shiloh?” conterverosy was going on. In that case, they claimed that Angie wasn’t taking Shi out because she loved her adopted kids more and didn’t pay attenetion to Shi.
I suppose the tabs realized that they can’t really pull that with the twins as, unlike Shi was when she was their age, they aren’t the only bio kids in the family (and thus, the argument that Angie favors the adopted kids over them would hold even less water than it did with Shi…especially since, in the last several months, Shi has been seen out pretty much the same amount as her older siblings.). For more on my thoughts about that, go to my latest blog post: http://joliepittresource.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/j-p-news-and-rumors/
Thanks for this new story about Angie, Sherry! She looks really great in these pics as always. Wonder if this place is in LA. BTW. Mary Ann. I soooo agree with you. Although I´ve learnt to laugh at these stupid rag stories about the Brangelina clan this story made me really angry. I accidentally went into Life & Style´s site last week and saw this ridiculous and nasty story. I normally don´t go to those sites anymore since they´re so full of s**t. Brad and Angie kept Shi out of public eye most of the time when she was a baby and immediately the rags started to speculate if it was because she was very sick or something like that. They even went as far as to doubt that Shi has Down´s Syndrome. And now it´s the twins´ turn to get their share of bad publicity just because their parents are protecting them from paparazzis. I´m sure that they´re perfectly healthy children. Like someone said it´s extremely rare that a child is allergic to everything. Thank God Knox and Vivienne are young enough not to understand what kind of controversy they´re causing. We´ll see plenty of them when they grow a little bit more. I respect Brad and Angie´s decision to keep them out of public eye. And as far as Shi is concerned she has grown up to be a beautiful spunky little lady. God bless the JPs forever!
first.. welcome back joliepittfanatic!
read your post in your blog and i really agree! thanks! but i really don’t believe that they are allergic to almost EVERYTHING! they even said they are malnourished, and one of them keeps spitting food out.. i really hate the way they pick on the JP kids, their still so young and they don’t really deserve this treatment..
have you all heard that Angie’s film debut “Lookin’ to Get Out” from 1982 with her father Jon Voight will be out Tuesday! she was just 6 or 7 years old by that time and there’s a pic of her in one of the scenes! and OMG! she really look like Shiloh today! imagine Shiloh to be taller and longer blonde hair with fuller lips now.. their really the same!
check it out here: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/2009/06/30/2009-06-30_angelina_jolies_film_debut_at_age_7_released_on_dvd_.html
and theres a video here: she has a few line and her voice is so cute! i could almost imagine that its Shiloh’s voice too!

hope you all like it!
she looks so gorgeous!!!!!
its nice that she takes so much time to do good…
I agree, Sherri, she really looks gorgeous!
Not that she’s ever looked bad but these pictures are awesome and she’s almost without any make up. I can’t wait to see Angie in new Armani campaign…
don’t give Lies and style more publicity by talking about their lies. just ignore it, don’t ruin fans boards with tab talk all the time, day in, day out. JMHO.
That’s very sad to know tabs now are going after kids. Don’t US have laws against that?
They should.
– Angelina Jolie vacillates between two kinds of movies: award bait, like A Mighty Heart, and action films, like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The former earn her nominations and critical praise: She won an Oscar in 2000 for her work in Girl, Interrupted and a Best Actress nomination for last year’s Changeling. The latter earn her big bucks. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, where Jolie met her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, earned $480 million at the worldwide box office. Last year’s Wanted brought in $341 million.
Jolie’s cinematic butt kicking made her the highest-paid actress on our annual Celebrity 100 list. Between June 2008 and June 2009, Jolie earned an estimated $27 million. Much of that came from her share of the profits on Wanted, but she also scored a fat upfront check for Salt, an action film originally slated to star Tom Cruise, in which Jolie plays a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy. Judging by scenes filmed on the streets of New York City, the film should have plenty of action to satisfy Jolie’s fans.
In Pictures: Hollywood’s Top-Earning Actresses

has angelina actually confirmed she will be in a armani campaign? that was only a tab story, no official word from angelina or armani has come out yet, might not even be true.
Mary Ann & Joliepittfanatic – I sooo agree with both of you. First of all the rags should leave the children out of their stories and secondly it´s extremely rare that a child is allergic to everything. When Shi was a baby she was seen publicly very seldom and the rags wrote that there must be something wrong with her. And when she grew and Brad and Angie took her out more those same rags started to write that she must have Down´s Syndrome because she always kept her mouth open. And now the twins are under a lot of scrutiny because their beloved mum and dad keep them out of public eye. I think that enough is enough. I´m 100% certain that both Knox and Vivienne are perfectly healthy little babies. We´ll certainly see enough of Knox and Viv when they grow a little bit more. Look at Shi now. She is a beautiful, spunky little girl and PERFECTLY normal! So eat your hearts out, stupid rags! God bless Brad, Angie and their children!
Hi Sherry, HAPPY CANADA DAY FROM AN ONTARIOIAN
Appetizying, Forbes never gets it right. Giselle Bundchein once said they had her salary wrong so never trust them. The reason a lot of the charity she does get public is because she’s an Ambassador meant to bring awareness. DUH!the other stuff she does that has nothing to do with UNHCR rarely makes the papers because it doesn’t need to.
Thanks for the new info on Angie, Sherry! She looks really beautiful in these pics. Where is this place she visited? In LA perhaps? Mary Ann & joliepittfanatic – I sooo agree with both of you. Enough is enough. The children should be left outside the ugly rag stories. First of all their parents are doing the right thing for keeping them put of public eye and secondly it´s EXTREMELY rare that a child is allergic to almost everything. But lets not pay attention to those ugly rumors because that´s exactly what they´re: ugly rumors. It´s the rags´ way of selling extra issues when it´s quiet on JP front. The twins sure are very healthy little babies and developing normally. Just like their big sis Shi who – according to rags – had Down´s Syndrome when we didn´t see her when she was a baby. Now she is a beautiful, spunky little lady. God bless the JPs 4ever!
kimmy- Thanks! I kind of have to chuckle at the fact that Lies and S*&t claimed that the twins are malnourished and one is spitting food out all the time. First of all, in the pictures from the airport, they hardly look like malnourished babies (in fact, they look like adorable little chunky monekys, especially Viv with her chubby cheeks). Second of all, even if one of the twins WAS spitting out food, that’s hardly news. For an almost one-year-old, that is actually pretty normal behavior. It’s called being a picky eater!
As for Shi….It makes me mad that the tabs claimed she had Down Syndrome (I didn’t know about that particular rumour until just now, believe it or not!), mainly because Angie and Brad are hardly the type of people who would be ashamed of and hide a child with a disability. Obviously there are some disabilites in which going outside can present a problem (such as the extremely rare cases of kids being allergic to almost everything, and another rare condition in which a person is basically allergic to sunlight), but Down Syndrome is not one of them.
Also, if the tabs stopped to think, they’d realize that the most likely reason Shi kept her mouth open a lot as a baby is because she was quite shocked by the paps (if you watch some of the videos floating around out their of the J-P clan, it’s very easy to see why Z is afraid of the paps and why the other kids often appear startled by them. Basically, it’s a complete circus when they go out, especially with Shi and/or the twins).
kimmy- Thanks for the link to Angie’s film debut! Her voice is adorable indeed!
joliepittfanatic – I agree with you. In those pics taken at Narita Airport in January they both look absolutely adorable with their cute little chubby cheeks. They don´t look malnourished at all. And they also look perfectly healthy to me. It´s hard to believe that next week (on July 12) they´ll already be one year old. Can´t wait to see new pics of them and their older sibs too. I´m sure that Knox and Viv have grown a lot. I still understand Brad and Angie´s desire to keep the twins out of public eye. They´re after all still babies and we´ll see a lot of them when they get older. Hopefully next year we´ll see plenty of pics of Brad and Angie with all of their beloved children. Can´s wait to see Angie/Brad out with their beautiful girls and boys going shopping. God bless the JPs 4ever!
I also forgot to mention last night that, even if the twins WERE allergic to almost all foods (which, I’m assuming, is what Lies and S&*t was referring to when they mentioned that one of the twins is spitting food out all the time, given the fact that they also claimed in the article that the twins are allergic to almost everything), I doubt they’d be malnourished. With all the money they have, Angie and Brad would be able to hire the best nutrionists avaliable to come up with a diet the twins could eat.
Anyway, I have sort of a theory as to why Angie and Brad are shielding the twins even more than they did Shi when she was little. I think it’s because they saw the extreme circus that ensued (by both the paps and the general public) whenever they brought Shiloh out when she was little (as well as the craziness that ensued at Narita airport when they were seen with all the kids including the twins.). As I have said before, there is a video of Angie and Brad taking Mad and Shi shopping at BonPoint in Cannes last summer in which the paps and the general public (the general public even moreso than the paps) went absolutly nuts. People were literally shrieking (with delight) at the sight of Shi, and Brad had to come to her rescue and scoop her up when one woman practically shrieked right in her ear.
Then, when the J-Ps were trying to leave the store, People literally swarmed around Brad and Shi (Angie and Mad, presumably after seeing the craziness enusing, went out a back entrance…which was a very good thing, as Angie was heavily pregnant with Knox and Viv at the time and the last thing she needed was to be swarmed by people.), completely surronding them. They were barely able to get to the car, and while they were trying to do so, the paps (and probably some of the general public with their cellphones) were snapping pictures of them…with the camera literally just inches from them!
Basically, I think they (very understandably) just do not want to expose Knox and Viv to that any more than neccesary.
