According to the New York Times, Angelina Jolie (who looks disturbingly like Russell Brand in that picture) uses her fame and celebrity status to manipulate her press coverage and get almost complete control over the content in her interviews. All celebrities ask for this, of course, the story here is that Jolie actually gets it.
When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt negotiated with People and other celebrity magazines this summer for photos of their newborn twins and an interview, the stars were seeking more than the estimated $14 million they received from the deal. They also wanted a hefty slice of journalistic input — a promise that the winning magazine’s coverage would be positive, not merely in that instance but into the future.According to the deal offered by Ms. Jolie, the winning magazine was obliged to offer coverage that would not reflect negatively on her or her family, according to two people with knowledge of the bidding who were granted anonymity because the talks were confidential. The deal also asked for an “editorial plan” providing a road map of the layout, these people say.The winner was People. The resulting package in its Aug. 18 issue — the magazine’s best-selling in seven years — was a publicity coup for Ms. Jolie, the Oscar winner and former Hollywood eccentric who wore a necklace ornamented with dried blood and talked about her fondness for knives before transforming herself into a philanthropist, United Nations good-will ambassador and devoted mother of six.
Oh that hot bitch. She was already the sexiest bitch on earth, but it's even hotter to know she's this powerful. It would be like having sex with a superhero, or god. She should get one of those fortresses carved into a mountain, and a big wall of monitors that she can sit in front of in a big egg shaped chair. And she could tap her fingers together and shout After Him You Fools if she sees something on the monitors she doesn’t like. I can't be the only one who is super turned on right now.
