Angelina Jolie Update
I’m surprised that the tabloids are STILL talking about Angelina Jolie’s not-so-recent weight loss. Not to mention I get a google news alert about her weight loss probably once a week.
It’s so old news, isn’t it? Yes, she’s skinny. She’s been skinny for quite some time now.
Anyway, there was a quick one page blurb in the latest issue of In Touch Weekly where she talks about her weight:

It’s a little sad that in such a difficult year, she gets so much attention and pressure that she feels like she has to make the distinction.

Okay in January they said that Angelina was 5 ft 8 and 118 on Star and then they used the same picture in another tabloid and said she was 109. Shes stayed pretty much that thin and they keep on saying her weights plummenting but its not.
The only time she hasnt been thin was during during that Lara Croft : Tomb Raider and it was a result of a special diet and intensive exercise. Shes just a light eater.

It’s amazing how I cannot stand her, given that I don’t even know her. But I can’t.

Honestly, this is BS The woman is very, very, very thin and clearly has eating problems. She absolutely can’t be healthy at that weight.

I can’t stand her. She’s such a media whore, and a… whore- whore as well. I refuse to buy magazines with a handful of certain celebrities on the cover. She is one, Beyonce is another.

She actually was quite a bit larger during her goth-Billy-Bob-blood-pendant days.

She is gross……. I am sick of her to I think she deserves little attention from the media…… Everything she seems to do is for attention. I do not know how Brad likes her.

lauraaaaaaa, I agree! I am so sick of her and do not understand the whole appeal of her, I really don’t find her very pretty, but everybody else seems to think she is the most beautiful woman on the planet.

enough already.. she’s skinny yeah get over it..
By serafin on Jan 1, 2008 | Reply
She doesn´t eat enough, that´s for sure. I hate people blaming others or special circumstances for their weight problems, her ed has a much longer history as she should know.
Adopting even more children will not help her getting over it, to my opinion she needs professional help.

For people in grief, and to those who care much for the world and it’s inhabitants, food doesn’t mean much. It can never be a mind stimulant, knowing there are millions of people out there who’s starving, and to have looked many of them in their eyes.. I can not imagine how big Angelina’s feelings of quilt really is. And having guilt most of the time you try to eat, well.. It kind of ruins your appetite. And on top of that, to have lost someone you love.. that alone can take away anyone’s appetite.
So, try not and judge to quickly, you do not know this woman. Let’s just hope she’s healthy and tries to be/stay healthy for her family, if not for herself. Writing that you so annoyed by her doesn’t help a bit, why even bother to comment is she is all that annoying?

Team Jolie! I think she is probably just depressed and hopefully she’ll get better soon.

The only thing that makes me wonder is the tattoo on her stomach that says “What feeds me, destroys me..’ Sounds a little ED inspired to me…
By Jodi on Jan 1, 2008 | Reply
Oh no … every time there’s a post about this yawnfest, someone has to bring up that tattoo quote and link it to a possible eating disorder.
Wake me when all of this is over.

yea, whatever… a lot of people go through difficult periods without becoming anorexic…
By Indie Pupa on Jan 1, 2008 | Reply
I admire her a lot.
She has truly been through a lot this year.
I don’t think she has any ED, I believe the stress and very busy schedule have been the most important factors of her weight lose.
Anyway… Happy New Year

I absolutely *adore* Angie. However, she should put some of her good will into eating regular meals and weight lifting, so that she gains lean pounds. She’s too thin for her frame, no matter what number her weight is at.
By lunababbeee on Jan 1, 2008 | Reply
puhlease! i do not buy that crap about a rough year. i mean, obviously i realize she had a rough year, but how would that equate to becoming emaciated? most people eat more when they’re under stress. i just don’t get it. if she’s got nothing to hide, then she shouldn’t be using such self-serving statements like, “i’m really TRYING to gain weight.,” this really pisses me off!

Hopefully she’ll put on a little weight this year.
By Maxx05 on Jan 1, 2008 | Reply
Plenty of people get stressed out and lose their appetite too. I don’t think she’s anorexic. When I lost one of my best friends to Aids years ago, and when I went through a horrible breakup a few years ago, I lost weight, couldn’t eat. I became really emaciated, and it took a great deal of time for me to be able to gain any weight back. I had to heal emotionally, and lose that feeling in my stomach that felt like a combination of acid eating away at my body, and rocks in my esophagus and stomach that was morbid grief.

Having stress can make you loose your appetite just when someone eats a lot when they’re stressed.
By sasha on Jan 1, 2008 | Reply
yeah, she is too thin. she is still beautiful and sexy and elegant.
Angelina is amazing. she is working tirelessly, and she is one of the least selfish people out there. she doesn’t ask for this publicity, she is just trying to give her children as much normalcy as she can. If you went to a third world country and saw how these children live you’d want to adopt them all too and give them a better life. She actually has the means to do that.
If every celebrity used their fame and fortune even half as much as she does, the world would be a very different place.
people deal with loss/pressure in different ways, and maybe if she wasn’t constantly in the public eye she would get over it faster.

why doesn’t she just eat? she looks a million times better with a bit more weight on her

ange is SKINNY skinny. the amount of nutrition shes NOT getting must seriously be damaging. humans need food. she once was amazingly beautiful. but this chick is gonna die soon.

It agitates me when I read ignorant comments saying Angelina is being a “media-whore”, and that all the stress and grief she goes through are only “tools” for her to get more headlines.
Sure I wouldn’t understand what kinds of stress she goes through as a celebrity; but I certainly understands the pain of losing your mother. I lost my mother last year. She was murdered by armed robbers. I have lost 20 pounds since, even though I tried eating regularly.
For those who have not experienced losing a loved one, please cherish the people around you. And PLEASE do not be insensitive to others who are less fortunate.

She is a gorgeous woman. And bringing MUCH NEEDED attention to worthy issues. So what if it keeps her celeb status current in the meantime? She is doing a damn sight more than 90% of the celebrities out there when it comes to good causes.. I have no idea what Johansson, Lohan, Witherspoon, or whoever else are doing to help others less fortunate, but her staus gives those “others” more of a voice.
As for her weight.. Im sure its frustrating to have that attention be constantly on such an insignificant detail. Grief affects people differently and for different legnths of time - who is anyone to jugde, its just the first anniversary now! and people have different relationships to food - for some it’s not even on the radar most of the time, lets not forget she is a mother to young kids on top of everything else. Clearly she is able to balance her plate well enough to work, be a mom, campaign for charity and whatever else she does, I expect she is run off her feet. Her health is evidently not forefront on her mind, but how is health on the mind of 2/3rds of the overweight western world either?
Leave her be… take her word for it. She sounded honest, and if it was a lie then the truth must be worse so how about compassion? these tabloids are terrible. If we all read newspapers half as much as tabloid audiences read tabloids about insignificant yo-yo physical fluctuations in the bodies of people we dont know and probably never will, the world would be a better place.

sasha - Well said!

I’m sure she eats. she possibly has a very high metabolism, and probably doesn’t indulge in food… food for many people is a form of comfort and enjoyment. It is quite possible that she cannot get enjoyment of comfort from eating, because she constantly sees malnourished starving children.
she has NOTHING to gain from intentionally trying to look this thin. Celebrities with any kind eating issues are usually doing it because they are under pressure to look really thin. She is not under pressure to look like anyone else…she has already demonstrated that with her “goth” phase.
Though I feel bad for Tara Reid for how sickly she looks right now, it’s not a stretch to say that her current state is a result of her own obsession with her appearance, and the media. Angelina on the other hand is not parading around in a bikini, or going anywhere just to be seen.
Whatever her current struggle with weight is much more than just “not eating to look like the rest f the celebrities”. and the road to recovery isn’t as simple as “why doesn’t she just eat”.

yeah she probably does have an eating disorder….meaning her eating is disordered and not necessarily intentional. people in grief or any kind of depression alot of times suffer from eating disorders, which can cause either gaining of weight or the loss of it.doesnt mean she went on a diet to get skinny, she’s probably just in an overall bad physical and mental condition.

Yah…it’s rough seeing her arms when she’s out on the red carpet with a gown on…looks so bad. She’ll get through it though, for her kids.
By MarikaJ on Jan 2, 2008 | Reply
It’s tragic if she can’t get comfort from food anymore due to all those starving Ethiopians. Thank goodness she at least has those several-thousand-dollar-handbags, private schools, and multiple mansions to provide comfort.

Grief can definitely wreak havoc on your physical health. I lost my dad very suddenly on 8 Dec. In less than a week I lost 10 pounds. I couldn’t eat…I was in shock. It hasn’t even been a full 4 weeks yet and my digestive system/appetite still aren’t back to normal. When you lose a parent, spouse, sibling, or child, you never get over it. It’s a pain I’ve never experienced before and it’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. Sometimes I still can’t eat…it’s hard to find the motivation to do anything. Especially during the first two weeks, even the smell of food made me nauseous. It’s going to be a very rough year for me and my physical appearance is the farthest thing from my mind.
By Huh? on Jan 2, 2008 | Reply
Oh please, her thinness has just been another way for her to get attention. If she was that upset over her mom she should have visited her instead of traveling over the world and taking time to let the papz know her every move. This is drug related obviously. Well. or she’s missing her women lovers.
By Kim on Jan 2, 2008 | Reply
all people accusing this woman of an eating disorder. she has lost someone, that is enough to rid you of your appetite and or desire to eat. when you are worrying about other stuff or are busy (as she so clearly is) you quite literally are too busy to realise how hungry you are. it happens to me. a day at school working super hard, when i finally come to stop and take a rest i realise i haven’t eaten in like six hours and am so hungry. also, she goes to countries in desperate poverty - she isn’t exactly going to go there and gorge herself. she will eat similarly to how they eat. weight loss in inevitable.

I truly believe InTouch will just post any ole crap to include Angelina in their magazine each week. Most of their articles keep repeating the same thing. Many magazines and blogs have been guilty of that lately. Just laziness
