Angelina Jolie's Allegiance To People Magazine Is Having Repercussions - Page 2

The real question here is why are the tabs turning on Angelina?  Is it really because they are jealous of People getting all the exclusive photos, or because they geninuely think something is amiss in Angelina's public portrayal vs. her private actions?  Page Six seems to believe the underlying cause is the animosity also, and suggests that Angie could share the photos from the next adoption in order to assuage the pain and anguish she's caused all of the competing tabs out there.

From my perspective, I think celebrity magazines are in the business of selling themselves and quite honestly, as a culture we'd rather tear down celebs than build them up.  If one magazine, in this case People (coincidentally the most popular of them all) is building Angelina up to be a saint, then the best way to compete, is to tear her down for being a "sinner."  Not rocket science, but certainly smart - and definitely not jealousy.  It's just business. 

And for Angelina's part, she isn't doing herself or her image any favors by saying one thing, then doing another.  That rubs even the most ardent fans the wrong way.
