This shakes me to my very core. Angelina Jolie has revealed that she was the target of a kidnapping plot . *shiver*
"It was in a small village," she says. "I won't say where, or with whom, but some gangsters planned to kidnap me and extort a massive ransom. I was warned at the last minute, and managed to escape, luckily."It's a chilling admission from the famously fearless star. Since becoming an ambassador for the UN in August 2001, Angelina's role has taken her to 20 countries, and some of the world's most underprivileged regions.
"It became clear to me that I was an incredibly well-off star, and that I had to do something against the screaming injustice on this planet," says the 31-year-old actress. "Not just by giving speeches, I had to be actively involved. Since then I've travelled half the world. I went to see the people there up close. I didn't shut myself off in some luxurious hotel."
Despite the kidnap threat, Angelina is hell-bent on continuing her work at orphanages and is determined to carry on her charity work overseas.
Of course she is, she's The World's Most Beautiful Woman. Beautiful inside and out. The rest of us would be in that luxurious hotel, which is why we can't even begin to compare to her. While she's rescuing orphans from mud huts, we're whooping it up by the pool, popping champagne, living the life, the flossy flossy.
Sick of Fish Lips says:
Oh Christ. I am so sick of this hypocrite and her tales of sainthood. And kidnapping?? WTF I bet she made that shit up. She thinks everyone wants a piece of her. Bitch needs to be taken down a notch or five.
chlyn says:
ahAHAHHAA! She was probably lingering too long and they were trying to get her ass out of there: "Hey, you're going to be kidnapped! You'd better split!"
Debbie says:
Too bad it didn't happen!
lookwhaticando says:
Debbie, You are a piece of sh!t, this woman is doing good for the world at her own risk. She has 3 children at home that love and depend on her. I hope you don't and will never have kids. God does not like ugly. And you are hidiouos.
jannre
I agree with Debbie, that would have been newsworthy! Bitch should keep herself out of danger, I know she doesn't have to really take care of them, but she does have 3 kids to consider.
Maynards says:
What a crock! That crazy media whore made that shit up!
Some planned to kidnap her, riiiight and Gary Oldman is stalking me and wants to make me his love slave...both plausible...NOOOOOOOOOOOT!
That should like this crazy bitch up, not applaud her "work"...
(aside from the fact that she is FAR from the "most beautiful woman in the world"...not even close)
Salome says:
What a remarkable woman. If I had a daughter I would want her to be just like Jolie. She is someone to aspire to be like. There are a lot of people out here that love you Angie. And we are not bitter because we have been divorced from our husbands. A deed that happens each and every day and even more so in Hollywood. I know Brad knows how fortunate he is to have found you. Best luck to you and your beautiful family. And best wishes on adding more children of the world to your growing brood.
MJK says:
"If I had a daughter I would want her to be just like Jolie. "
I would want her to be an iced out, walking skeleton who whores for the media at
all costs... I want her to buy baby after baby and ignore them, unless she needs to exploit
them for, yep, media attention. I want her to ruin marriages, wear blood around
her neck and i want her to make out with her brother!! Ah, they're high hopes, but nothing is too good for
Salomes daughter!!!!
Jackass!
Egroft says:
Salome...how the fuck do you KNOW that Brad how fortunate he is? Can you reach him on the batphone? Hotline? IM?
You crazy bitch.
Salome says:
Ergoft, I could almost see the veins poping out of your neck when you typed that, Are you OK, Hon, hope you didnt break any keys during that insane rant. lol, calm down sweetie, it's not that serious.
Salome says:
MJK, Are you and Ergoft in the same padded cell. Tell her I said hope she is doing better, she seems a little distrubed. Wish you both well though.
MJK says:
Salomie...
You want to spawn a kid that is a certifiable nut case, meth head, anorexic press whore, neglectful parent, home-wrecker and I'M disturbed? Mmmmkay. Whatever gets you through the night...
Salome says:
MJK, Yes I would love to have Angelina Jolie as a daughter, or my daughter being like her. She is a humanitarian, A Good person with a big heart. A very desent actress. A Good Mother and Daughter. She has done a lot to make the world better than she left it.
Sure she did drugs when she was young. So did about 85 percent of the rest of the population. She grew up. I was a little wild when I was young. I never cut myself. Gladly I did not have drama going on in my young life. Cutting one self is a cry for help. I am sad her life was so sad, that she felt she needed to do that. Many other young people have that problem and it is sad, nothing to hate her for.
You see her in a totally different light than I do. "Thank God" I don't think she is crazy at all, I think she was extremly troubled as a child. I am glad she grew out of it. I don't see her as having a eating disordr I am 5'3 and only weight 105 pounds, I am very skinny, but I eat. I cant help my body type, as I am sure she cant. I dont see her as a homewrecker. Marriages break up all the time. And how did you know that their marriage was not over long before Angie came it the picture. (Batphone maybe)
If it had not been Angie it would have been another woman. Marriages break up everyday. For the life of me I dont see how Brad and Jennifer's seem so different to you people.
Other peoples love life/marriage does not effect my life. Hollywood folk are a breed apart. I like Hollwood/entertainers for entertainment purposes, not a meter to live my life. If Tom left Katie, Or Beck left Posh, or Ashton left Demi right this minute, my life would not be any sadder, They dont effect me in any personnally way. It's sad it effects your life so much, that you hate a woman,(that you dont even know) because she got with Brad Pitt. I love them both as actors and distant personilities, but I could care less if Brad and Angie broke up this minute, I would still like them both. And wish them both well.

Haa haaaahaaahaaaa that's awesome!!!
I won't say where, or when, but some aliens kidnapped me and planned to probe my butt...luckily, at the last minute, i realized i liked that sort of thing...
Michael says:
You know, I COULD actually imagine Angelina Jolie as Salome's daughter -- I don't mean the poster, I mean the deranged whore who served up John the Baptist's head on a plate.
natalie! says:
salome, get a life! ya she adopts a kid here and there but there are better role models for your kids out there. not adulterers going through some phase!
mish says:
Yeah right, adopting two children is a just a "phase" she's going through, like blonde highlights or skinny-jeans. No one DOES THAT, moron, children are a huge responsibility and she's a great mother to all of her three children. Those of you bitching out on her for actually doing GOOD in the world should be ashamed of yourselves, I mean, are YOU all Goodwill Ambassadors doing humanitarian work in third world countries? No? Then shut up. Kidnappings in these impoverished areas aren't that uncommon, if you'd get your heads out of your asses for a second to open a newspaper you might understand that.
Salome says:

salome, get a life!
==============================
Nah, I love the life I have. And Angie would be an ideal daughter for anyone, She is an awsome soul, with a hugh heart and lots of talent. Beautiful inside and out.
Rhondy says:
Some people love Angelina Jolie and some people hate her, but we all have a right to our opinion.
I don't worship her, but I think she's a good actress. I like her acting. She's a pretty lady--one of the best-looking actresses we have right now. She has experienced a lot in her young life, which is probably why I also sense a lot of maturity in her.
I didn't like the fiasco that happened between Pitt, Aniston and Jolie, but that's in the past now. I figure Brad Pitt is where he wants to be. I'm happy that he has decided to parent those children with Jolie, because the ideal situation is for them to have a mother and a father. More than anything else, I am glad Brad and Angelina are changing the lives of innocent children.
Is there anything more important?
dominique says:
Ok why is it that the only thing about this story that shocks me is the fact that someone called her 31.
Valerie says:
It's good that she's contributing to the worlds' problems and all, but who does she think she is kidding?! When she is out and about 'saving the world' she may not stay in luxurious hotels (that would look so obviously hypocritical) HOWEVER, we all know that Ms. Jolie doesn't live what one would call a meager existence in her day to day life. Exactly how many homes does she own around the world again? Pffft...nonsense.
