is this a sick joke????she has no clue at what she is talking about!!!!and they named her goodwill ambassador i believe they did this because of the money she has given them!!!! the girl has no knowledge like oprah or bono so the next time she does an television interview she should state no comment it would really do her a lot more good!!!!!!!!or do her homework not just carry and pretend to read but actually sit down and take the time to get the facts before she opens her mouth

The fact that she gives back and even cares is great...Who the hell cares what your opinions are, when there are needy people in this world. IF she didn't give...then you would have something to complain about.Also I bet you don't when what your talking about!

She's a HO darlin'

She's such an incompetent BOOB! And all her giving is for two purposes. TAX WRITE OFFS, and PUBLICITY!

That is smart of her to do her "do gooding" act and pretend to care when you're renting a whole hotel to yourself, and there are tons of homeless people in the very country you're renting your hotel in. Or renting an entire restaurant to yourself, when people are Starving In Africa, as she has said on millions of times.

Publicity-ho

Angelina Jolie has shown through her actions and her money that she stands by her beliefs that we are living in a global world where there is a need to give to those who have so little. She donates one third of her income to charity. What ever some people think about her, she has shown herself to be a caring person. It is easy to trash her but in the end her actions speak for her.

I live in Asia and have spent many years here. When Ang comes to SE Asia, she makes the news. Come and visit the people she has helped. . . ask them. One comment I have heard/read several times from refugees in Thailand is that they welcome Jolie's pledges more than government pledges. When she says she's going to do something, it gets done. She doesn't make empty promises to these people. She puts her money where her mouth is. Not unlike many of us who live/work/volunteer here, Cambodia captured Ms. Jolie. She is VERY knowledgable on refugees, as noted by numerous people who work for and with the UN. US Senate aids that have dealt with her have been very impressed, as have I, by not only the facts and figures, but her personal experiences. She actually listens to these people!

As for renting a "whole hotel". . . she is pregnant and being stalked! I think she deserves a little time with her family. She rented several rooms at an African resort-- she does have quite a few people with her!! I am sure she would love not to go to such extremes to protect her children and her privacy, but imagine the scenario if she didn't-- every minute she steps out the push and shove of photographers. Need I repeat: she's pregant.

South East Asia and Africa are inexpensive places to travel, yet few Americans do, and few of the few venture off a well-beaten tourist track. I welcome you to come visit and maybe your heart, like Angelina's, will be so deeply affected you will find some purpose in your life.
