Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt criticised for violent films & politics by Roseanne
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been criticised by Roseanne Barr for their “violent, psychopathic movies” and Angelina’s indecision about the forthcoming US presidential election.
Writing on her blog in a post called “Jon Voight“, the comedian says the Midnight Cowboy actor is owned by “neocons”, who “make him dance” to promote their cause - but had more to say about his “evil spawn” Angelina: “Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (just sayin’).
“Also miss jolie says she [..] hasn’t decided who to endorse, huh? Aren’t you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the african daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the republican party’s worldwide economic assault on africa over the last few decades since reagan?
“For that matter, the [Vietnamese] and cambodian sons you are photo’d with weekly too who’s pictures you sell to raise money to help the poor? Their families are victims of America’s right wing military incursions too.
“Now go back to making your movies about women who love to handle big guns that shoot hundreds of people to death. Ps. it might be good for your asian and african children’s self esteem to know you support a brown man for the leader of the free world.”
In a later post, she added: “i do not know brangelina and do not mean to personally impugn them as they might be good people in the flesh, but the media’s images of them are smelly and vile.”

Whilst I think Ms Barrs’ comments slightly harsh, she does have a point about the movies they make.

she is a bit harsh but she is right. They make tons of money making violent films, they give away three millions ( which is nothing for them) and make it seem very generous.

3 million?
who says they gave three million?
they gave more than that..
they just gave 14million that gets dispersed to several charities including the one where they just donated money to have a clinic built in Ehtiopia.
Not to mention the land they managed to bring back to life after the villagers plundered all its resources in Cambodia…
Not to mention that they gave 5 million to the project in New orleans..
some one needs to get thier calculator right and stop listening to idiots like roseanee that if you were to look into her donatins would barely hit the thousand mark.
But if you chosse to be ignorant thats you perogative. Just a waste.

Whilst the comments do seem a little ’steady on’… she is absolutely on the spot when it comes to the African suffering that has been endured throught centuries and of which the USA is aware and plays a part in. War as always is a good money maker and the USA government will always put that before anything else! Wake up Angelina and smell the grass…. no the other one!!!

In comparison to so many other Hollywood “stars” who give a total of FA and could care less about anything at all apart from the next Gucci bag, boob job and fitness video? Give me AJ and BP as well as Mr Clooney et al. who do care and do contribute and do try to raise issues.
Roseanne may have some points to make, but as usual risks alienating many by her pitbull tactics.

Update
Roseanne had to eat her words.
She apologized.
She probably forgot to take her meds that day.

well instead of critisizing how much money people make and give away to charities, why dont they make it compulsary for he big earners that do sh*t for a living than either playing football or acting. people tat actually save lives and help others should get the big wage! all of us normal people should agree with me. yes its nice for them to doante all this money, well they obvously dont need it so why dont they give up this wage and give it to the people that risk their lives to save others and heal others when they are sick.

ha Alex, you get the words from my mouth. First, Roseanne who BTW?? Was she dumped by Jon Voight in her teens? Second, how much does she give for charities? And last, why doesn’t she attack those who give and do NOTHING instead of the others? Please that woman is a joke!!!!!!
