Angelina Jolie's Madonna outrage

Nov 14, 2006, 8:00 GMT

Madonna has outraged Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie by criticising their charity work.

The couple - who are currently in India filming their latest movie 'A Mighty Heart', in which Angelina stars and Brad is producing - have been left "shocked" after the 'Hung Up' singer blasted their involvement in building an orphanage in India.

A source told Britain's Star magazine: "Angelina is shocked. She can't believe it. She was like, 'Where did that come from?' It seemed like a personal attack.

"Madonna's remarks just sound nasty. Angelina thinks the worst part of it all is that Madonna could have used the opportunity to say something that could actually be of benefit to someone."

As well as criticising Brad and Angelina's work with orphanages, Madonna - who has sparked controversy after adopting a Malawian baby called David - also trivialised Angelina's role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

The 48-year-old pop superstar said: "I'm not interested in going in there like an idiot and going, 'OK, I'm going to build ten orphanages and I'll see you guys later.'"

"I could've joined the UN and become an ambassador, visited various countries and just showed up and smiled and looked concerned. But that's not getting to the root of the problem. And neither is building orphan care centres."

madonna is a witch and everybody knows it. she is seething that her career is in the toilet and that everyone is sick of her and her garbage. because angelina is praised for her real humanitarian work, madonna can't stand it. she got on the adoption bandwagon solely to get attention as usual and it backfired on her so she's peeing all over angelina since angie did it the right way and madonna did it the black market way basically buying a baby. i mean what 50 year old wears spandex and leotards? like sharon osbourne said 'she looks like an old hooker' and robert smith (the cure) said..'she looks like she smells'. i was a massive fan in the early 80's but now she is so pathetic and desperate and disgusting i just want her to go away and never come back.

I think Madona is crazy and jealous of Angelina because she is beautiful and inteligent.

I'm about 99% sure (just a tinge of doubt--maybe) that Madonna did not mean that as an insult to Angelina. Her husband is good friends with Brad Pitt and everyone knows Madonna is on the Kabbalah kick of not saying negative things about people. The tabloids are just trying to spin this into some diva battle (as usual).

Madonna Is Jealous?Nov 15th, 2006 - 06:50:06

The tabloids could be behind all this drama! But Madonna does sound jealous! Madonna has been under intense fire.So if many people keep questioning her intentions then at some point she's gonna explode & say something nasty that she may regret later. For Madonna this sounds just about right! Madonna has pulled so many stunts in her hayday that now it has finally backfired on her. She said herself she can't understand the warm reception Angelina has received for her adoptions from abroad & is considered a Saint but she (Madonna) is being treated unfairly for doing the same thing? Well Madonna that's because you have a history of jumping on trends! We all believe Madonna's heart is in the right place but it just seems this latest interest has come out of nowhere. Beauty Angie on the other hand has been talking about adopting children from all over the world for years even before she joined the UN. No one is even surprised when Angelina Jolie signed up for UN duties because she was always passionate about it. Madonna has to remember that she & people like Angelina are on the same side so don't go putting down Charity work cause Charity work is ALWAYS A GOOD THING. Madonna's words could end up discouraging others from opening Orphanages in poor countries.

Brits vs Madonna vs Brangelina & BabiesNov 15th, 2006 - 07:07:53

True Sharon Osborne is no fan of Madonna! She says really nasty things about her. Elton John & Boy George are also on the 'wealthy Brits hate Madonna bandwagon.'

So speaking of jealousy...they are DEFINITELY ENVIOUS OF MADGE. Madonna may be almost 50 but she has the body of a 20 year old. Just check out her concert. WOW - is all I can to say. To people like Sharon Osborne - no you'll never be Madonna! But putting her down because the only way you stay skinny is through anorexia, bullima, alcohol, drugs, diet pills & running after rude kids & an over the hill dried up prune drug-infested husband like Ozzy Osborne. Sorry Ozzy fans but it needed to be said. Sharon dishes it out pretty good so I'm sure she can take it.
We've all seen the reality show. It made me never to want to take a sip of alcohol ever again!

considering that this whole argument was fabricated, it's sad that some of you are taking it seriously. the original time magazine interview can easily be located online if anyone actually wants to read it. or you can just read gossip rags and call it a day.

ohhhh gee thanks Samantha for letting us naive, easily-swayed readers no where to go find the truth.Online you say? For your information Madonna's TRUE FULL interview with Time was leaked two weeks ago! Reporters called her PEOPLE. Her Publicist said they stand by Madonna's comments & have nothing further to say.So it is likely that the nasty comments Madonna made about the 'UN ambassadors' etc. portion was omitted from the magazine before hitting the Newsstands this week! If Madonna changed her mind & wanted some of her comments removed from the article then she probably got her wish. Remember Celebrities get special treatment!

madonna blows! her 'adpotion' is a disaster because she obviously thought that throwing money at someone/some entity entitled her to a baby, no questions asked. surprise, surprise!!! thank goodness that the people in malawi aren't as ignorant & afraid as she thought.
