A bunch of sites have new photos of Angelina Jolie flying out of LAX yesterday – unfortunately, we don’t have those pics, but you can see them here and here. CB and I were just looking at them and debating whether or not Angelina is pregnant again. She really looks heavier in the new photos, and CB and I are both thinking that she’s might be knocked up again. Her sack clothing is looking… tighter?
Anyway, apparently Jolie was flying out of LAX to go on yet another UNHCR goodwill mission. It’s believed that she’s heading to the Middle East, which means there are lots of possibilities, considering there are many refugee crises. Iraq? Libya? Syria? Jordan? Egypt? Who knows.
In the meantime, Brad took the kids to see Hop over the weekend. You can see photos here – Fax was there!
All of these photos are from Angelina’s last UNHCR trip, in March, to Afghanistan.

her assistant holly is with her so i think its a business trip related to her film
Well like I have been commenting since the NOLA pics I think she’s pregnant …Especially since she has that scarf and huge bag covering her middle @ LAX …Remember how thin she was when she was carrying Shiloh? If she is having another baby she won’t look as big as she did with the twins. Whatever is going on I am happy for them. And I applaud her commitment to UN.
She’s beautiful on these photos. Real Angel
Say what you want, she is one committed woman whether personal, work or humanitarian. Can’t bring a good woman down.
There is no refugee crisis in Egypt or Syria. Libya is in the middle of a civil war / revolution so that’s out. Tunisia is calm.
I do get a chuckle because in so many of these pics, she looks like she’s hanging out at my in-laws. Where was my photo op after hanging out for a month in Casa? lol
@Canuck
I also think she going to Libya. But isn’t there a little bit dangerous. People are running away from Libya, and she’s going there ? 🙂
I know this is a gossip site, but I was saddened to read comments stating that there is no refugee crisis in certain parts of the region. So I have to interject and say there is in fact a grave refugee crisis in Syria, Jordan, and Egypt that NEEDS ATTENTION and AID. Jordan has a long-standing refugee crisis with the Palestinians living in awful conditions in camps, awaiting their right of return under International law to homes and towns they were kicked out and forced out of in the creation of Israel. Syria also has a huge problem with Iraqi refugees, some speculate over a million, who are over-flooding schools and local clinics (everything is state-run in Syria and already under strain). The saddest part is that the female Iraqi refugees cannot find any work and are now part of a burgeoning prostitution market, especially around Damascus and other large cities, experiencing high levels of violence. Egypt is having difficulty coping with the large numbers of Libyan refugees pouring in, especially when internally there’s increasing anarchy and civil disorder. I could go on and on…… the issue is dire and really tragic and certainly deserves attention from Angelina and the UNHCR. I wish the news here in Canada would actually report on these issues.
She looks so lovely in these pics. I truly admire her courage and commitment to all of these causes.
According to local media sources, Angelina Jolie will visit a refugee camp on the Tunisian-Libyan border, where thousands of people who fled the unrest in Libya are camping. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said that at least 180,000 people have now fled Libya amid unrest. The UNHCR has called on the international community to urgently help with a massive evacuation to their home countries of tens of thousands of foreigners stuck at Tunisia’s border with Libya
Yasmine, I completely understand. I’m going to Israel, Palestine and Egypt this fall to study and help open eyes through a forthcoming site of my own. The people I’m going with devote time and love and have given years to the plights surrounding these exact subjects. People are listening – just keep talking 🙂
Angelina always carries a large bag and has worn scarfs several times before. Definately not proof that she’s pregnant. I doubt she’s going to Libya since it’s really dangerous now. I don’t know how it works when people want to travel to warzones but I have a hard time believing that a celebrity could just waltz in on a whim. And I can’t imagine the UN would allow it at this time. I think people are just saying it’s a UN trip because she’s traveling alone. She could be going anywhere for any reason.
Has any of her trips ever REALLY done anyone any good? I didn’t think so…
She looks beautiful. Good on her for the work that she does. Beautiful inside and out.
Well Yasmeen, I had lunch last week with an Egyptian friend who had been down in Tahir Midan protesting when all of this was going on and whose office is about 2 or 3 blocks away. Her comment was that life in Cairo was pretty much back to normal. No anarchy, no civil disorder and in fact much of what we had been told about in the press was a bunch of lies or gross exaggerations. The schools, including the International ones are all open again and have been for weeks. Most of the companies have brought back the employees that they expatriated, because the situation is stable. I have a number of friends there who stayed throughout the whole active part of the revolution and who are still there and they also say life is back to normal. The Egyptians are not anarchists and the fact that they got together to protect their own neighborhoods, that volunteers went out to help direct traffic once the police disappeared from the streets might give a much clearer vision of what sort of solidarity they feel for each other. The only anarchy in Egypt is how they drive and apparently even that has gotten a bit better lately.
As for Syria, you may be right. I was thinking new refugees given the situation in the MENA region. I wouldn’t hold your breath about any of the press giving much air time to the Palestinian refugees though, even though they too deserve to be heard.
Ugh! I can’t believe the folks on this site who can’t see through her phoniness.
OMG Angelina is so stunning walking through the airport. So zmny people look so busted, including moi, when taking a flight but Angie is like truly breath taking. Love her. So sweet Brad took the kids to see HOP. They promoted the sh*t outta that movie. Glad its #1 or I would feel so bad for James Marsden for being in that crap.
Good for her. I love it when I see celebrities using their celebrity for good.
I send my prayers to those who are suffering…
It is always refreshing to see Angelina doing humanitarian work…
I hope those countries in need really find the help they need
I think no matter what you think of her, the fact that we’re having this discussion on even a site (I review at least twice daily – love it) that’s intended for entertainment proves that if all she does is draw attention to these issues, its effective. We’re talking about things I believe most people wouldn’t pay attention to and if what she does is use her high profile for pictures of women, children and men in these situations then, holla! This is not an easy trip, she could be at home getting a mani-pedi! They require immunizations, and cultural study, time, not to mention this isn’t like traveling to Vegas. Even if she has the best accommodations its not a cruise! For goodness sake at least do some reading and instead of bad-mouthing someone actually taking action, use your fingers to donate five bucks to UNICEF or DWB and do your homework.
@ Marie What’s phony about it? The UN wants her to do these trips because they feel what she does is having some form of benefit, so I don’t see the problem.
I would never want to be away from my family as often as she is. I’d miss my kids and my husband.
Tight fitting clothes? Where do you see that? That being said (or rather questioned…) maybe she is. I would LOVE it if she were!
@ Canuck: please don’t get defensive or assume that i was bad-mouthing Egyptians; I never said they were anarchists, and never described anything ‘inherent’ in anyone from the region. I was only describing what personal friends here in Ottawa told me. I understand that you have a friend with that kind of news, and that’s good to hear. That said, I also have friends from Cairo who gave a different perspective, even citing how cabbies are now demanding money up front and only one passenger at a time due to thefts and violence (one small example but you get my point). Cairo is huge, and I am not sure which districts my friends speak of (I should ask, I realize), but they are quite concerned (one friend lost an uncle, who disappeared in the rallies and has not been seen or heard of since) and have left me with that concern as well. I was just trying to bring some understanding to the situation for people who don’t get it from main-stream (read: crappy) news.
@ Denver Danni: it’s amazing to read that you’re visiting the Levant! The food alone, nevermind the social justice work you described, is worth visiting for! I’ll keep an eye out for your site and pass along the good word, so any idea about what it’s going to be called?
Denver D, Tunisia is a huge tourist country and quite European in it’s way of doing things. I’d say that there isn’t much cultural study needed, it’s not like she’s doing anything there than posing for photos. The real work falls to the professionals who spend their lives dealing with this sort of thing. Btw, she probably needed exactly the same vaccinations when she went to go film in Cambodia so most of them are probably still valid from then.
Interesting how everyone goes on and on about George Clooney, whom I really admire by the way, but he has been to Africa three times and has only been doing this type of work since 2007 (his first trip) and he is 48. Angelina Jolie has been doing it since 2001, has made multiple trips, to multiple, dangerous regions and is 35, but gets trashed (on occasion) and called phony.
She does not need to do this, but it is her passion and I greatly admire her for it and so does the UN. Being away from your family for three days every few months won’t kill them and Mr. Pitt takes good care of his children.
Did she go there to buy another kid? She has white one or three, black one, yellow one and now what beige one. She is sick.
@asd:i think you are the sick one,and your post define how much you are sick.she looks great and calm in those lax pictures,i wish her safe trip
She does exactly what diplomats do when they visit. She observes, gets first hand accounts, brings messages and takes messages away and the like.
I’m not sure what about UN work and Jolie’s work in particular you cannot grasp. Obviously she is not a medical doctor but she and her visits are obviously valued by those who send her just as she was valued by people like Richard Holbrooke who sent her to a very iffy region of Pakistan during the floods. Some things are just not shared with the general public but I do know that the people who respect and value her have a wealth of experience and are not fools.
I also realize that some people are allowing their bias to blind them to reality.
@ #26 asd: “Did she go there to buy another kid? She has white one or three, black one, yellow one and now what beige one. She is sick.”
I don’t even know what to say, other than I hope you don’t ever have any kids, whether through birth or adoption, until you grow up and mature. I hope you’re only 12 years old, otherwise I pity you, and feel very, very sad for what must be a miserable life.
I just don’t get why people are so scared of adoption, or so against it?
@Denver dani I agree. She could be at home getting mani-peds or she could be Lindsay Lohan.
asd is a troll.
@Yasmeen: Thanks to Gamal Mubarak (the son and the former political heir apparent for those who don’t know who he is) emptying the prisons the same night as he ordered all of the police off of the streets, there is crime in Cairo in a way that there never was before. Ditto the violence that happened during the rallies, I’m told this was his way of trying to scare the population into “needing and asking for” an authority. It was probably alternately aimed at causing a violent chain reaction as this would have given them the excuse they needed to brutally crack down on the protesters. This all apparently came out in papers that were seized when the Secret Police headquarters was overrun before they managed to shred everything.
It’s hard not to get defensive on behalf of the people in the Middle East at times. I’ve lived in a couple of countries in that area and was met with nothing but kindness, hospitality and in the case of Egypt, people with a wickedly good sense of humour. (You should ask your friend what some of the protest signs in Tahir Midan said, they were pretty funny) I get really annoyed at how they tend to get portrayed in the most negative possible light all the time.
I hope your friend finds his uncle.
MrsOdie2: I would never want to be away from my family as often as she is. I’d miss my kids and my husband.
============================================
So what’s your point, you’re a doting mommy and she’s a neglectful one? She makes two of these trips per year and they only last two or three days.
Maybe you need to get away from your kids and your husband more often and enlarge your perspective on life.
@ #26 asd: “Did she go there to buy another kid? She has white one or three, black one, yellow one and now what beige one. She is sick.”
I don’t even know what to say, other than I hope you don’t ever have any kids, whether through birth or adoption, until you grow up and mature. I hope you’re only 12 years old, otherwise I pity you, and feel very, very sad for what must be a miserable life.
I just don’t get why people are so scared of adoption, or so against it?
Lucky, honey I’m 29 yo and I’m mature. I’m happy with my life as well. Thank you don’t need your pity.
I’m not against adoption, I’m against privilege people who buy kids. I guess I’m the only one here who don’t buy her and her crap. I don’t believe in her transiton to saint. She used to kiss her brother for publicity and now she is using poor kids. It’s so sad and pathetic. From bi stut who wearing blood necklace to Mother Teresa. It’s only possible in Hollywood and of course there have to be a lot of press/paparazzi. I feel sorry for you guys. You are so blind and naive.
@asd back when Angie was kissing her brother you were in junior high right? so are you exactly the same as you were then or have you matured…Wait don’t answer that question.
@ asd – Angelina did something that’s called growing up and not being so self absorbed. It does wonders I’m told.
The truth about these sorts of visits, regardless of who is doing them, is that the career dweebs in the UN offices in NYC or Geneva are more than happy for the publicity, while the people who are out actively dealing with the current crisis in-country waste their time organizing the trip in, the security, the shuttling of the celebrity around instead of actually working. Anyone who thinks that a celebrity has more insight on how to deal with humanitarian disasters than those who spend their entire careers dealing with the worst that nature or man can inflict is dreaming. Honestly, what do you think a celebrity is going to be able to recommend to the likes of the guy who organized feeding almost all of Afghanistan when it was under the Taliban? Absolutely nothing. Or maybe a good restaurant the next time he’s in LA.
She likes to travel when it is her turn to be with the kids (when Brad’s doing a movie). I’m sure they enjoyed the movie with their Dad.
Hi, I had to write to thank you Yasmine (my sister’s name too 🙂 for your illuminating comments. I’m Palestinian and it definitely astounds me how uninformed people are of the Middle East, considering the US is waging two wars there. If Angelina wants to do some good I suggest she visits Gaza and the Negev. Things are quickly deteriorating there and we could use someone like her to bring attention to the atrocities committed in Palestine.
asd if you’re this immature at 29 I don’t know what the future holds for you. Why is kissing her brother bothering you? can’t find anything else to throw at her. you’re like a senile person, repeating, the same thing over and over again.
CANUCK the Professionals asked Angie to come in because they want the spotlight on a particular crisis. She just don’t pick and say I’ll go to Iraq today, In not one of her interview, have she ever said she was doing the work in the camps. Paying for schools for girls to get an Education is doing more than you’ll will ever do. So continue with your holier than thou attitude.
@Canuck,
Well, that’s pretty much the point. Goodwill Ambassadors are specifically people with fame (actors, athletes, musicians, other celebrities) who can then use that fame. I don’t know if you’re being willfully ignorant in assuming most people believe Angelina is there to do anything but draw attention to and highlight issues, or if you actually do think she (or anyone else, UN included) is trying to sell her as anything other than a celebrity spotlighter. Fame whore or not, the UN needs this spotlighting, and gets it for free from these people who have a unique and rare commodity that UNHCR (in this case) can exploit.
As for the workers, they do amazing work, and they do it more or less anonymously. There were no cameras or press releases when my best friend was in Africa last year setting up emergency education plans for refugees. Would Angelina Jolie be able to do what my friend does? Not on your life. Does my friend value Jolie and other Goodwill Ambassadors, even if they have to (zomg) organize security for three days when the Goodwill Ambassadors visit? YES. The attention and subsequent help, monetary and otherwise, they receive after a vist have a measurable, positive impact on their efforts in the trenches.
Well I’m sure all they young girls who are now going to school because of the Schools she has built are glad she is “phony”. Not to mention the SOS children’s Villages, Doctors without Boarders, TB Aids Clinics and Hospitals.. are also benefiting from her phoniness. If only others could be as phony.
HER UNHCR trips are planned. They call her and tell her where they want her to go at a particular time. She discussed this in one of her interviews. I don’t particularly care that some call it PR.. well it is PR. it brings awareness. I don’t see these issues on Gossip sites when there is not a celebrity attached. So yes people that don’t know a lot about these places and the situations these people face for years can get an idea. She is at least trying. And that is so much more then a lot of people are doing.
She had been with them for going on 11 years. For a woman 35 years old, that is a long time to be phony as some love to scream. She could get a lot more attention sitting at a fashion show or going to the gym with a cup of coffee or running to the current hot spot. Going to a camp is not glamorous in the least.
But don’t let facts cloud the negative.
She built hospitals, schools, donates remedy. She said these trips that she makes is much smaller than it actually people who live every day with this as the doctors, volunteers etc ….
The “job” of it at the UN, is to show the actions of UN …….
She does not just go to some peaceful villages in Africa to sing and dance for a day, but to the real horrible places.
asd: Lucky, honey I’m 29 yo and I’m mature.
==============================================
You may be 29 years old but I’d assess your emotional maturity level at junior high school or below.
You’ve been repeating the same tired crap for six years now. Jesus, get a life. Shit gets old.
Oscar winner Angelina Jolie and Harvard researcher Dr. Anne Goldfeld, who co-directs the Global Health Committee, turned a chance meeting into an opportunity to help Cambodian children stricken with HIV and tuberculosis live full, healthy lives.

Awesome comment Leuce7! Thank you so much for this!
Why bother answering those trolls whbo sit in their little houses and do nothing all day? They love to gripe about her because they are jealous of her and her life. She actually trys to help people and thye have no concept of what that is. The people of these countries know that she is there to help and that she opens her own check book to aid them. She has never bought a child she has adopted and I doubt if these people who say things like that about her COULD adopt a child, even if they had never kissed theie brother. It is a shame tho that people who never help any one other then themselves lie about people who do. You have to have pity for the ignorant./
@ Nina; thanks for the video link
Why is it when Angelina makes these trips people get into a rage and say she does nothing? Yet I’m sure the same people say what great people Matt Damon and George Clooney are for making the same kind of trips. Also Angelina has donated a lot of money to build schools and hospitals in Africa and Asia. And she’s been doing this for over 10 years. People don’t visit some of the worst places in the world if they don’t care.
I’m real happy that my girls have such a wonderful role model to look up to in Angie instead of some air-head self-entitled celebrity that does nothing but shop and lay in the sun all day long. Angeline Jolie is a beautiful woman inside and out.
Angelina is beautiful and seems like a truly good person.
I think she’s doing a phenomenal job….I don’t think everyone else is running off to these impovrished countries on a goodwill mission. Hats off to her…she really is a caring person and devotes her off time to helping others…back off haters, it’s nothing but jealousy. How do you feel being a hater, I bet Angie feels great helping & comforting others and that’s what it’s all about! 🙂
LOL, now some gossipers who are into entertainment stuff and fluff are trying to make people beleive that they are more qualified to measure the action of a sepcifuc employee within her core business and duties on a specific mission.
They act like they are more qualified to tell a supra national orgnisation set up nearly 70 years ago and that is
a century old if we counts it’s embriyon form with the Society of Nations, why it is uneccassary to send one of its employee implementing a mission that has required a team of
collaborators from several countries as well as employees and agents of the foreugn affairs office from her own country.
Talk about when ARROGANCE meets absolute IGNORANCE.
I’m not a fan of AJ and I have the feeling that she initially jumped into her charitable work in an effort to change her image. Whatever the reason was that led her down that path, she has now invested the kind of time and money that only comes from true commitment.
The adoption comment doesn’t merit a response.
With respect to the Middle East, I have to disagree with the comment about the Israelis stealing land from the Arabs. In 1932 my grandparents moved from Germany to Israel. My grandparents did not throw out an Arab family in the middle of the night in order to obtain a house. No, they did what everyone else did. They bought their house with cold hard cash. European Jews, such as the Rothschilds, had been buying land in Israel. Much of land was swamp filled and strewn with rocks and boulders. The Mufti thought it was funny that the stupid Jews were buying such worthless land. However, through back breaking work, the swamps were drained and the land cleared. The land then became valuable and a point of contention.
On May 14, 1948 when the UN recognized Israel as a sovereign nation, my mom was a senior in high school in Petach Tikvah, Israel–that is until the Arabs attacked on May 15th. The school year was shortened and everyone went into the newly formed IDF. According to my mom, at that point the Arab leaders drove around town with loudspeakers and told their minions to leave their houses and land. They said that the war would only last a short time and then everyone could return. We all know what has happened since.
I was surprised at so much back and forth about A.J. I admire her humanitarian work so much. It’s a huge undertaking and has to take an emotional toll. Having said that, I do not care for her as an actress and, further, I don’t think she has conducted herself very well in her various relationships. Like everyone, she is multi-faceted and it’s possible to respect one facet and not the other.
@Hannah: She has been doing refugee work with the UN since 2001. At that time, her image was not tabloid fodder. She got into this because it is something she deeply cares about. Actually, I don’t think she cares one way or the other what people think about her. And that is probably what pisses a lot of people off.
@Canuck, I understand where you are coming from and I understand how one can be defensive or protective when they care. I am actually from the region and lived there, and that was one reason why I felt to compelled to write my first comment and let people know that there is a humanitarian issue worth our attention, particularly the Palestinian refugee crisis since Palestinians are currently the world’s longest-standing refugees, struggling for equality and human rights.
@Palestinian: no need to thank, I am only stating what any person with a conscience should. I proudly and morally stand in solidarity with your deeply moving struggle. To quote the late Edward Said: “Remember the solidarity shown to Palestine here and everywhere… and remember also that there is a cause to which many people have committed themselves, difficulties and terrible obstacles notwithstanding. Why? Because it is a just cause, a noble ideal, a moral quest for equality and human rights.”
So having said that,
@Hannah, I’m not going to start a thread here disagreeing on different histories, or what your parents claim. I’ll just say that if you are open and willing, read the book by Israeli historian Ilan Pappe ‘The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine’.
Thank you @ Lucky Charm!!
I’m not really a big kids person, but the only way I would ever consider kids is through adoption.
They are here and NEED a family/person to love them and look after them in this crazy place we call the world. It is a beautiful thing to give such a gift to a child that might not be your’s biologically but yours in every other way.
Keep on keeping on Angie..love it. Love her!
@Leuce 7
My comment was in response to remarks such as this:
*******She does exactly what diplomats do when they visit. She observes, gets first hand accounts, brings messages and takes messages away and the like.*********
I too have a friend, now retired, former UNHCR Ambassador (the real kind) so I’m not just pulling this out of the air. We’ve had discussions about this in the past. It’s hard to deny that if you spend days squiring around a celebrity, those are days that you aren’t spending doing your job.
Also, the comment about bringing in funding. The UNHCR is funded by governments, not the general public. Maybe part of the time of at least the US celebrities might be better spent explaining to the American voting public that their own country has been in payment arrears to the UN since 1985, something that obviously hampers how much the UN has on hand or in budget for disasters of any sort.
@asd; tsk, tsk…29? more like 12. your emotional maturity leaves much to be desired… who’s your role model? Kim Kardashian?
wow, My Angie! she just keeps doing an amazing job! i love her and her whole family!
My thought is in conjunction with Canuck’s and Yasmine’s. Regardless of the opinion any one of us holds about Angelina Jolie, the UN and other agencies are perfectly conscious of the fact that her presence in these countries will bring about some awareness to their causes, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’m not impressed with Angelina Jolie’s private life or her acting career, but I am an admirer of her humanitarian efforts. I don’t have the means or the situation to bring awareness in the way that AJ does, and so I respect her efforts, whether it’s bringing about awareness with her name or trying to help a child who needs a loving home, etc.
One thing I’ve learned to do is consider people’s intentions. Regardless of whether AJ’s activities are admired or disapproved of, it’s clear that her intentions are noble, and I think with regard to her character, that means more than the outcomes.
I hope she goes to the Ivory Coast. A horrible refugee crisis is shaping up there, and by the time both sides in the civil war finish doing their thing, the Ivorian refugees may not have a country to come back to.
PMSL at the haters like canuck trying ever so desperately to denigrate Angelina and downplay her work by inventing ‘friends’ at the ‘real’ UNHCR. Face it, when you are a member of the Foreign council, a committee with govt members, and respected by Mandela, you ARE in the big league. Denying it is pitiful.
@Cheyenne, my point is, I wouldn’t want to be away from my kids as much as she is. I would miss them and my husband.
Angie takes on average 3-4 UN trips a year most last 3-4 days. So she is away from her family due to her work with the UN less than a businesswoman who travels monthly for her job.
She is also a businesswoman who travels monthly for her job.
I get that she’s doing the whole Audrey Hepburn thing, and good for her. But Hepburn waited until her own children were much older. Sometimes the best thing a person can do for the world is raise good people to live in it.
@ Hannah, I’m not going to sit and argue with you. But my family are refugees in Gaza now. My village, Beer saba3 (now referred to as beersheeba with zero traces of us left htere), was destroyed back in the 40’s. We were driven off our land and my grandparents were forced to live in UN tents in Gaza. My parents were born in a refugee camp and so were my siblings and I. I can assure you we did not leave willingly and were forced out in a mass exodus. Many of us still have keys to our homes from before the creation of israel. I highly suggest you read the book that Yasmine recommended. I’m not going to say anymore about this subject because of the nature of this site, but I couldn’t let you put out such falsehoods without responding.
