The Sports Gal Doesn't Like Angelina Jolie
Last week, The Sports Gal - wife of ESPN.com columnist, Bill Simmons - was in a festive mood.
This week, she's putting coal in the stocking of a certain celebrity. And it's not Rosie O'Donnell. To hear her say it ...
I used to really like Angelina Jolie. Ever since she starred in Gia, I admired her flawless natural beauty, as well as the many character flaws that made her more likable and less threatening overall.
Maybe she was a recovering drug addict, a cutter, a brother kisser, and a blood vial-wearing skank who looked like she showered once a week, but she didn't care what others thought and was totally comfortable going out in public without tons of makeup on. So that made her likable, at least to me.
Then everything changed: She adopted Maddox, became a goodwill ambassador, started making normal movies and slowly made everyone forget that she was crazy. Next, she seduced and stole the husband of one of the most likable female celebs, adopted another baby with her stolen man, then had his biological child months before his divorce was even done.
But what really turned me into a full fledged Angelina hater was this month's Vogue article about her, with Angelina smugly pushing for peace talks between her and Jennifer Aniston, even having the gall to say, "That would be her decision, and I would welcome it."
If I were Jennifer Aniston, I would welcome it, too. Then I would meet Angelina for lunch and repeatedly smash a chair over her head.

Who cares what the Sports Gal thinks she should hope that her negative stance does not have a boomerang effect.
December 22nd, 2006 5:06 PM
I agree with the Sports Gal. angie has a history of walking off with other women's men. 'cause she can't find a single one of her own. awww, poor angie NOT!
December 22nd, 2006 5:08 PM
Maybe the world will be a better place if people weren't such haters... if we just preferred love to hatred.. Unbelievable!
December 22nd, 2006 8:03 PM
Great article, thats the way it happened for most the women who followed her career.
December 25th, 2006 8:54 AM
people would preferred love to hatred if
the world Doesn't have women that she can't find a single one of her own and have to walked off with other's women's men...Like Angelina Jolie. She's Goodwill Ambassador? I think NOT. She doesn't help anything, she can't make Peace She causes War!
December 25th, 2006 9:04 AM
Angie want to make Peace with Jennifer.
What a laugh. She's lucky that Jennifer didn't come and spit on her face, and also included her Ex too.
February 1st, 2007 7:33 PM
I have to say, If I were a man I would really find Angie far more atractive (from all points of view I must say) to be with than with Bimbo Jen...So what if angie's done all the crazy stuff, at least he won't get bored like he did when he was with jen.

LMAO!!
This is a funny article. Had a great laugh.
Who care if Skankelina wore vial of blood around her neck, collected knives and cut herself with them, asks like Mother Theresa and wants to save all children??? She's a fake! She's a manipulative, hypocrite who loves attention. I don't blame people who don't like Angelina. Her behaviors are responsible for all the negative press she has received. And she'll continue to have people think of her in a negative way because we can see through her lies/deceit and know she's still a whore!

Angelina could not have broken up a good marriage. Good marriages last. Happy, in love husbands do not stray. The rumors were that Jennifer didn't want children while Brad very much wanted them. Since he quickly adopted two then father another it seems the rumors are true.
After being with Jen for seven years and no babies he saw the writing on the wall. Quit blaming Angelina, put the blame where it belongs on a bad marriage between two people who could not work their differences out.
March 8th, 2007 8:24 PM
I am not afraid to say it- Angelina is a huge slut. No matter what happened between Jennifer and Brad, you do not stray in a marriage. Brad and Angelina are disgusting and have twisted morals. All this goody goody charity stuff is such a fraud. Someone so kind wouldn't do what they did to Jennifer.
March 8th, 2007 8:27 PM
To Angela,
Just because your spouse is boring and you have marital issues is not an excuse to be unfaithfu! Brad and Angelina are disgusting.

I can tell alot of you guys don't like jolie. IT'S NOT HER FAULT OF ANYTHING. stop blaming her for everything even if it were true. have you guys forgot that the press puts in alot of things that are not true just to get a good by-line. if you guys had any brains you would know that. jolie is very caring and cares more then others then herself. she is not a slut, whore or anything else bad she's the most caring person in the world to me, and she is deffinetly not deceitful. you guys would know that if you just don't beleive what they put in the pappers, come on guys give it a shot and jolie one too ask your parents. duh! i'll be back here often next time i want to see some good words thrown in for jolie AND I MEAN IT TOO!

You vitriolic, misguided, and ridiculously ill-informed, prejudiced to
blindness without self under standing of selves:
You insult this unasked for "defense" of Ms Aniston. You constantly insult her intelligence, her common sense, her
understanding of her self. Only she and Brad know what their elationship was
about. She never attacked Angelina.
She so far passed the breakup of the marriage -- which she and Brad agreed upon. Stealing indeed.. She has gone on with her adult life. Why don't you people? Your odd defense of her
past can only be met with contempt or amusement. Give her a break. Look at your life of hate and venom.
Ms Jolie, admired by her co-workers for her acting and hard work, respected by all intelligent observers of her Oscar and Golden Globe acting, her recipient of tremendous respect for selflessness, altruism, caring, giving of limitless time to not only, as UN Ambassador, receiver of awards by women journalist, just lately, participating and speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative, along with
tremendoussly respected men of stature, like Kissinger, Clayton Powell, foreign dignitaries and our government officials. She is also an esteemed member in Council of Foreign Relations. Speaking. Nominated, and writing about first hand knowledge of refugees, genocide, an all human rights. Now also writing for the highly respected Economic magazines with other people of note. Do you know that she gives i/3rd her income to her's and other charities? Facts are more respected than ceaseless untrue, exaggerated harranges. Oh, before you bitch about the rest of her acknowledged income: 1/3rd goes to investment with Brad's share for the allocation for their children and 1/3rd to
living expenses. How does your's break down on your income? But now the
past is past. Time for you all to get a life
like normal people, what ever their station in this life of us all.
I know I'm being lengthy, but I care about others, the needless slanders and lies about them. You all with your narrow and untrue and unrealistic judgments make the Victorians look like a hotbed of immorality and sin full ways. Where is "God is love? Or Love thy neighbor as thy self? Who the devil raised you to omnipotence?
Her mothering shows what comes first, Secondly, are humanity concerns , 3rdly her work -- as she has honestly stated.the sequence of commitments. As for her partner Brad, he has joined her in putting first things first and acknowledged like her never to have shooting films at the same time. These days unfortunately many have to wrl two jobs or both parents gone for the day meaning children care is left for a third.and ill afforded. Then the many others in Hollywood or just with wealth hire nanny(ies). Wow! if you guys saw the loved kids with only a nanny! Their always bringing the kids to traveling is arguable but not unloving or abusive. No attendance in any bars, no unseemly
and disreputable behavior in public, no encouraging the uncontrollable papparazzi (remember Diana and the unasked for attention she always received to her death? How about some of the stars who informed the papps where they would be so their antics, illegal actions would be covered? Some ignoring stability for
and abuse of children, and ignoring social norms by society it self.
And then your unwitting target, Ms Jollie, completely respected by her peers., admired for hard work, acting abilities,
and humanitarian attentions to the others of less.
Give Jolie, Brad.and un-needed defense of Anniston's personal break
up a break. Get a life and get your own life together They have!

Dear Greg
Thank yo so much for that you must like Jolie and Brad alot, and you knw wat that's exactly wat i've been tring to say but didn't have the words. and wandering was that directed to me cause i didn't say anything mean about her or him. thanks for having my back. (please respond to that)

Megan: No criticism of you but I get (as you read) pretty damn incensed with the haters calling Ms Jolie "whore" and "skank" and other demeaning names based on what? Tabloids, other rags? With their continual lies, second and third times removed from any semblance of reality, created by banal and untalented, so-called writers. How
do they read such stuff without retching? Do they really believe Ms Jolie is like the rest of the types on the evening news? Their lack of decency, their non- contributing to society, their ethics? Their doping, over drinking and abuse of their children? The wasting of talent? Yes, I admire and respect both Ms Jolie and Mr Pitts for their respect and love of their children, for their humanitarian work and their talent. But not as a star glazed-over fan. Just admiration for their living fully and well. And like Diana, their not asking for paparazzi cameras. Are they preening for attention by walking from stores to car? Are they in bars, leaving their children with nanny(ies)? The constant haters who are always and consistently reading only the titillating and degrading, vulgar "news", how can they possible comment on others? Jolie has admitted that she led, when young, a wild and selfish life but when she made the movie about Doctors giving of time and talent to the refugees, the homeless, she said she was awaken immediately and saw how selfish and self centered she had lived. Her dedication to help others, her acceptance by the leaders of the world, the recognition of her talents and giving to others followed.
Yes. I criticize. From high school, I worked and, contributed my time before and during WWII helping others And further, my involvement in human rights, then civil rights and on up to my old age. I am involved in helping to get legislation passed to help poor and limited income seniors from rent gouging. I also deliver meals to the housebound and elderly for Meals-on-Wheels. Nuff said?
Yes. Yes , I admire.Ms Jolie as a humanitarian, a top actor and a very good mother. She deserves respect
not derision. The contributing and respected among us, are not impressed with her looks as a movie actor but recognize her talents as a writer, a compelling speaker, her experiences in the camps, her knowledge of the needs of others. I base this on my opinion my travels around the world, my experiences, my university degrees (I paid my way completely) . I've been around many, many years, and I know of what I write. I, also, was one of the first vice presidents in my field So how come I never heard of that rude and vulgar sounding word "skank"? And prostitutes, by the by, sell their bodies for money. Which is very sad. Ms Jolie however, is and has always made her own way with film, top modeling for the high-end, chic clothes manufacturers, one of which, St. John,. has had her under contract for years. Wow, haven't they heard what the haters are saying??. Her talent was recognized many years ago and alwas has been
respected by her peers always. She led her life as she sees fit. admitting honestly her mistakes in marriages but divorces without alimony. Well, there I go again. On ad finitum and then some. Sorry. Regards.

November 21st, 2007 5:38 PM
Meg: On rereading my last, I couldn't find
the word "decensed". You may have misread something? Please check and let me know.
November 21st, 2007 6:33 PM
i meant to put incensed. i typed fast sometimes and don't check wat i type. until it's put on the page then i check it i thought i spelled it right.
November 23rd, 2007 5:35 AM
I asked my mom what incensed meant and i'm danm proud of it, so thanks again.

I think all men want Angelina. She's confident, nurturing, possesses limitless sexuality (the bi-sexuality helps!), intelligent, rawness, and possesses a very beautiful exotic look. She basically elicts many traits that men crave, universely.
Oh yeah, and it's been polled before that men love women who wear black.
The ones that go with her are those who are in terrible relationships.
I love Angelina so much and a feel really sorry for Jennifer.
I hate fucking deformed puppy eyed Brat Ass-Pitt.
In other words, keep your partners satisfyed or else Angelina will steal your man or you from your man.
Lucky me, my b/f and I want her so bad, but I think she'd go for me. LOL
Cherrish the good in your life and omit the things that leave you astray.
