Angelina Jolie Says She Found Focus on Her Weight Loss "Disturbing"
Friday December 21, 2007
 Jim Spellman/WireImage.com Angelina Jolie — who just nabbed a Screen Actors Guild nomination — admits she got too skinny this year but says she was bothered by all the negative scrutiny. Jolie, 32 — who says she lost weight while grieving over her mother's passing in January — opened up in the new issue of Grazia magazine. “The thing that’s disturbing is that instead of people saying, ‘This looks like a person that’s actually dealing with something, probably from emotions,’ they say, ‘Does she fit into skinny jeans and look thin?’” Jolie said. “I want people to understand who I am as a person is not somebody that’s trying to look thin, but just trying to work through a very difficult year,” she said. (For other stars who got too skinny, click here.) Jolie said she got through her death of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, thanks to the support of her beau Brad Pitt (they were recently named Us' Couple of the Year). “He is just a great friend and when my mother passed, he was so great,” she said. “He sat with me and held [my mother’s] hand. After she passed away he spent the night asking me and my brother about our mother and got us to tell funny stories about her. “He focused on all the love and joy we were fortunate enough to have had,” Jolie said. “He was extraordinary.” See 12 adorable photos of the couple here.

Poor Angelina! I feel where she's coming from... When I lost my dad my mom and I took it pretty hard too. We were opposites in the way of dealing with it though... She didn't eat anything, and I ate everything I could get my hands on. Regardless, she is still one of the most beautiful people on this planet, both inside and out.

I must tell u that i myself having suffered from an eating disorder, am appauled that this is even a subject of debate.. Yes. Thats right. I had an eating disorder. but it wasn't becuz i wanted to be skinny. i was already skinning. Are you gonna judge me like u judged her? me as i am, just an "ordinary" girl. eating disorders are not caused by a one thing or even two. there are so many reasons for disorders such as these. And maybe u all should arm urselfs with knowldge b4 passing irrational judgement on that of which u no little or nothing about. I am 18 years old. and have gone through more than ur average girl of that age. and i will never belittle anyone elses problems but i do have the expirence of helping myself through things that others can not relate to. angelina may be a celebraty, and she may be "mrs smith, or laura croft" on screen, but that is just a movie. that is not reality. she is a person with real feelngs emotions and concerns. I'm just sad that the media has made her out to look this way, and that we as the audience have taken the liberty to sink our teeth into what ever drama,or gossip, we can get ahold of. its sick. and all of u that pass judgment on her should be ashamed. Instead of jusdging her u could be sending ur thoughts and prayers to her. But thats never going to change. so those of u that do support those in the spot light that need desperate help. u should be proud that u didn't become one of the crowd. I just hope that who ever sees this, will someday get a reality check.

Ok. let me put it out there that angelina jolie, is not one of my favorite ppl. a couple reasons. I don't feel that what happened with Brad and Jen, just had to do with the fact that jen didn't want kids yet/ever and any other reasons for brad and jens divorce. I believe that angelina had some imorale part to play. But I do not know the whole or real story. and niether do any of u. its not fair for us to judge her. Though many ppl will, what is the real reason for us to make such rash judgments. ask urself this question: do u know her personally? do u what her life is all about? no. u only know what is in the papers and magazines. You only know what the entertainment business wants u to know. its pathetic.

"9:12 AM Anonymous Says: I HOPE PEOPLE DONT THINK THERE GOD .ITS HE WHO JUDGES THOSE . PEOPLE ACT LIKE THERE ARE PERFECT . ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO MEET THERE MAKER. I HOPE THE KIDS WILL NEVER HAVE TO READ THESE THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT THERE PARANTS" Okay, first, people can we just get a basic grasp of English grammar? I know this is an American website but even so you'd think most people would be able to comprehend the difference between "there" and "their". The first one denotes location, the second one is a possessive. If you can't figure that out, get off this website, get yourself a grammar book and study it. You'll be doing yourself a favor, trust me. Second, please keep your religious hypocracy to yourself. If you're that worried about god and his wrath then you probably shouldn't be wasting your time on gossip sites. It doesn't make it okay because you don't know the people you're gossiping about and it doesn't make it okay because you're "defending" those people. You're still contributing to the malicious, gossip machine. If you've got some kind of hotline to god and think he would like that then feel free. If not, then either shut up about god or just get off this site. If there even is a god, I'm sure he or she has better things to do then worry about what is written on a gossip rag's website.

"1:41 PM Roags Says: They should leave this nice family alone... Really feel sorry for Angie, Brad & there Kids." No need for you to feel sorry for anyone but the kids as Angelina and Brad have actively courted the media. If she doesn't like living under the microscope then she should practice a little more discretion. Instead she's been a media bleep for at least the past three years and then whines about it when she's painted in a less than flattering manner. Other celebrities manage to do charity work and stay out of the spotlight so there's no reason why these two hypocrites can't do the same.

I would never give to this charity, he and she are frauds. The haters won't ever go away because duh we hate her. Her life will forever be under a microscope. That she can thank herself for. She is a piece of crap that was given a make over but she still smells of s**t. What does this freak do besides travel with cameras and sponge of needy countries. She is nothing more then a cutter rat

DUH us weekly. She did get too skinny but it's good to see that she knows that she's too skinny and she doesn't like it. Hopefully she will gain some healthy weight for the new year.

Would it be wrong for Brangelina to break up? Other than the temporary media circus it would cause, would it be wrong for them to break up?

I think it is alittle sad. We do pay an awful lot of attention to something that is not our business, however what do you expect? We have fallen in love with her and we just want her to be healthy. It's not like she's Mary Kate Olsen. We were hoping those twins were not perfect!

These two will never break up because that would be a PR nightmare. Could you imagine the fallout from that. Also, they would be undateable, no guy or girl would want to deal with that kaos. They are stuck with each other so they better hope their happy
