Angelina Jolie Latest Victim Of Fox News Hissy Fit, Slanted News AND Sour Grapes
Glosslip has a reputation for being a harsh critic of the Brangelina whitewash campaign ever since Angie seemed to swoop in and destroy Brad Pitt's first marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston. Before Angelina Jolie became the patron saint of orphaned children, and in doing so, revamping her "wanton hussy manstealer" image, she was often the punchline for many a gossip joke: makes out with her brother, wears a vial of blood around her neck, ambiguous sexual orientation, homewrecker, has intercourse en route to red carpet events — you know — a real loose cannon as it were. But that's ancient history. And today is a real first here at Glosslip, for today we who have never defended Angelina Jolie, are now taking a stand in her defense.
A report from Fox News is slamming the actress' actions at her latest film premier for A Might Heart, a film based on the life, abduction and murder of The Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl as written by his widow Marianne Pearl.
Angelina is being accused of suppressing the media and making outrageous demands of any reporters or news agencies wishing to speak to her about anything related to her "personal relationships." Those who wish to interview her must sign agreements based on her terms and any deviation from those agreements can lead to a lawsuits filed by Jolie. Here are some of the details from the FOX report:
Ironically, Wednesday night's premiere of the excellent Michael Winterbottom-directed film was meant to support an organization called Reporters Without Borders. Jolie, however, did everything she could to clamp down on the press and control it.Reporters from most major media outlets balked Wednesday 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.
Reporters were asked to agree to "not ask Ms. Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships. In the event Interviewer does ask Ms. Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships, Ms. Jolie will have the right to immediately terminate the interview and leave."
The agreement also required that "the interview may only be used to promote the Picture. In no event may Interviewer or Media Outlet be entitled to run all or any portion of the interview in connection with any other story. ... The interview will not be used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning, or derogatory to Ms. Jolie."
