From Monsters and Critics.com People News The prestigious Council on Foreign Relations has admitted world traveler and champion of human rights, Angelina Jolie, to its high brow ranks. The exclusive, Manhattan-based foreign-policy group has decided to admit Jolie, a U.N. goodwill ambassador who has traveled over 30 trips worldwide to advocate for refugees, AIDS orphans and disaster victims, reports the New York Post. Friday, the council's membership accepted Jolie's nomination - and Jolie now joins other club members Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell and Alan Greenspan to name a few. The Post reports the group requires "no academic credentials but looks for members who take part in world affairs." "Bring her on," said Dr. Gordon Adams, an international-affairs professor. "The idea of having Henry Kissinger and Angelina Jolie in the same organization is dazzling." The Post reports member Carol Adelman, former head of U.S. foreign-aid programs, saying, "It's not like Paris Hilton is being nominated." © Copyright 2007 by monstersandcritics.com.
