Angelina Jolie: Starving For ‘Statement’?

Truth rating: 0

Angelina Jolie‘s skinniness has been the subject of tabloid frenzy for some time now, with various publications harping on her allegedly drastic weight loss month after month, which, if you think about it, is impossible.

In any case, Us Weekly is now hopping on the bandwagon with a new interpretation of Jolie’s supposed starvation.

The magazine quotes a so-called “source” as saying Jolie, a United Nations goodwill ambassador, “puts herself on fasts to make statements for the children she visits.”

“She says, ‘If they can’t eat, I can’t eat,’” explains the Us source. “She does different cleanses from around the world. It’s very dramatic, but that’s how she gets.”

Well, that definitely sounds “dramatic” – but is not accurate.

It’s true that Jolie takes her UN responsibilities very seriously, making frequent trips to poor conditions around the world.

But she’s not going on fasts to experience the hardships of the people she visits.

A source close to the actress-humanitarian tells Gossip Cop she makes her “statement” by investing time and energy into her frequent international efforts, and not through any kind of symbolic dietary “cleanses.”

The source adds that trying to link Jolie’s personal eating habits to the very real suffering of the less fortunate populations she helps cheapens what’s been a long-term, meaningful relationship between Jolie and the United Nations.

    i think she’s great and I like how she’s turned her life into something meaningful rather than a circus sideshow a la lindsanity hohan…. but she really does need to put on a bit more weight. She’s so much more beautiful with a bit more fullness to her face.

  • Jane

    Explain why some stranger we have never met has to look like we think they should look. This obsession with other people’s weight is bizarre.

  • Guest

    Here we go again. The lies that these rags come come with – and the sad thing is that a lot of people believe this crap.

    Angie you are the best! You are doing great work.

  • FinallyZERO

    Surprised gossipcop didn’t rate it- give it a 1, giving it credibility, like they do with most of the vicious lying tabloid smears against Jolie. I guess too many people caught on to them slyly trying to diss her.

  • Anonymous

    I agree with that this stupid lie cheapens all the good work Angelina has done and is doing for the less fortunate around the world. No real humantarian would deprive him/herself of food to “show support” for people who are starving. What the heck good will that do? These rags are getting worse by the second. What idiots.

  • Hypocratia

    I don´t give her much credit at all, a lot of what she does is for show and applauds, but not even I beleive in this stupid rumor.
    There you go, there´s a first for everything ;)

  • TerenceGarnier

    The children she helps and the the third world countries, she provides with at least some voice and hope to them. That’s who.

  • Gottalovethisone

    I agree…And of course she eat’s…otherwise she would not be able to help those in need. Come On rags…really stretching it here!

  • Guest

    Most of her humanitarian work has not been for “show” or applauds. She mostly gets wrongly villified over her charity work in which the media only reports a small percentage of it which gets misportrayed along with their ongoing vicious narrative that came from a mislabel over false accusations. She gets degraded over everything wrongfully yet she is still holding her head up high as a humanitarian and mother, and does the best she can. People don’t even investigate her work and how it has impacted people. Unlike a lot of celebs, she has does serious work for the third world and is an ambassador for the United Nations. She is a member of many organizations as well as the Pitt-Jolie foundation. They are involved with governments, directly involved with the people and causes, bring awareness to more global aid, and do a lot more than just donate money.

    She has loss weight due to suffering and bullying. It is stress. She has been thin for a long time, there has been no drastic weight loss. I personally also thought she looked lovelier slightly fuller but your body and face changes when you get older.

    What the hell?! Where is my other comment?

    Angelina receives mostly villification and misportrayals over her humanitarian work for many organizations which includes being the ambassador of the United Nations and the Jolie-Pitt foundation which has genuinely helped people all over the world. People need to investigate it instead of going by disparaging misconceptions that is all a part of destructive spin. It is a shame because both Pitt-Jolie are among the few celebs who actually do real, serious work and are deeply involved with many causes.

    She is getting older and dealing with a lot of stress. Traveling is taxing to the body. There has been no drastic weight loss recently, she has been thin for awhile.

  • swrdet

    true …..y cant u people laeva her alone

  • jelise

    How does it help these countries just because she visits or any other celebrity? How do these people live the outrageous lives that they have and then act like they care so much for the poor straving people around the world. Try living in smaller homes, clean your own homes, cook your own food, take care of your own children, wear clothes off the rack, etc. etc., then ask me to give to the poor. As they say “Put your money where your mouth is”.

  • Tony

    So no one that has ever been born in a third world country should ever count as having a need? This country has more goverment funded program’s than any other country in the entire world. BTW New Orlean’s is our backyard. Both Mr.Pitt & Ms.Jolie have helped so very much there.

  • Prayin4U

    Your in my prayer’s :]

  • Moyetneyda

  • Saw see

    AS the Globalist-RED China world TREASON and EUGENICS OP
    brings a police state to the USA —-CFR member Jolie might show
    some genuine repentance, some genuine ‘incorrect’ consciousness,
    by making a high porofile visit to the prison camps on the North Korean
    border in Manchuria.

    Korea era draftee, who NEVER saw Korea, Clint Eastwood BALKED
    this years 60th Anniversary of the —KOREAN WAR—.

    Let’s hope Jolie knows how to break ranks with COP-OUTS. . .

  • WETHEPEOPLE

    Lets hope this asshole of a president is man enough to react..nevermind Jolie.

  • Jme897

    You have to..You don’t sign her her paycheck’s..write a film then ask her to be in it…feed her children…pay her mortage..or even know her. So your givng her credit or not does’nt mean a thing.
