ANGELINA JOLIE RUNS THE WORLD
What Would Tyler Durden Do —
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 ...
Saint Angie Rules The Celebrity Media
Dlisted - Be Very Afraid —
The New York Times ran an article yesterday on how Saint Angelina keeps her holy image by controlling the celebrity media. None of this is really OMGJAWDROPPING news, because we all know she's a famewhore who can basically get what she wants with just a snap from her praying mantis fingers. But it's interesting to read about her famewhoring at work.
When People Magazine handed over $14 million to Brangelina for the exclusive photos of the beloved twin messiahs, it wasn't only about the money. Saint Angie wanted more. She wanted their soooouuuulllls. Basically. Before they shook hands, Saint Angie wanted People to agree that they would ...
Vulture’s Angelina Jolie ‘Editorial Plan’
Vulture —
... Today the New York Times reports that Angelina Jolie didn't just bank a $14 million payday for her baby photos — she demanded that People produce an "'editorial plan' providing a road map of the layout." Shocking? Unethical? We say: Awesome! At Vulture HQ, we've been rejoicing all morning. This means we might finally have our shot at a Q&A; with Angelina — if our "editorial plan" is strong enough. So here goes! (Angelina, if the below proposal sounds good to you, please just leave your cell number in the comments and we'll get back to you.) ...
Does Angelina Orchestrate Her Entire Image?
PopSugar —
On Thursday, the New York Times ran a pretty unflattering piece about Angelina Jolie and her calculating way of leveraging coverage of herself.
The article asserts that she struck a deal with People: baby photos in exchange for a $14 million donation the Jolie-Pitt foundation and a promise of favorable coverage of all of Angelina's charity work around the world. The article also says Angelina got away from unflattering coverage post Brad and Jen's split by taking a trip to Pakistan and making sure the media picked that up instead. It paints her as a conniving manipulator going so far as to set ...

From the Gothamist Newsmap: serious trauma on 5th Ave and 79th St in Manhattan, a shooting on Vyse Ave in the Bronx and a serious car accident near the UN.
The city and the UN are butting heads over whether the UN is cutting back on security and forcing the city's rescue services to come to its aid if it were ever the target of a terrorist attack.
A temporary restraining order has been issued to halt the expansion of the House of D jail in Downtown Brooklyn.

Discussion Thread: NY Times and Angelina Jolie’s “carefully orchestrated image”
Pitt Watch —
A few people have requested that I start a new discussion thread to talk about the New York Times article that talks about Angelina Jolie’s “carefully orchestrated image”. Ask and ye shall receive!
I read the piece this afternoon. If you haven’t read it yourself yet, you can find it right here.
I honestly don’t really know what to make of it. It’s like the author couldn’t decide whether it was positive or negative. First it starts off stating that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wanted a great deal of input in the issue of People that ran the debut photos of Knox and ...
