Angelina Jolie and her oldest child Maddox, 7, were seen at LAX airport on Friday after Angelina’s brief trip to Iraq in her role as ambassador for the UNHCR. Jolie and Maddox left through the back of the terminal, avoiding the huge throng of paparazzi at the front but inevitably being photographed and videotaped as they headed to a waiting SUV. According to E! Online they were with a bodyguard and an assistant.
Along with visiting refugees displaced by the war, Jolie also made a visit to US troops at Camp Liberty in Baghdad, as Kaiser guessed she would. The 34 year-old actress happily posed with US servicemen and was seen getting a hug from Pfc. Bryan Ward from Chicago. (Angelina has often shown her support for the troops and in June she made a low-key visit to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed hospital in Washington, DC.)
During her trip, Jolie told an Iraqi woman living in a refugee camp outside Baghdad that she hoped her circumstances would improve. “I want to come back and find you in a better place and in a different situation. We hope that UNHCR and the government will support you in getting a piece of land. You need help not because you are poor, but because you are the future of Iraq.” Jolie has been involved with the UNHCR for nearly eight years.
Update: Here’s Angelina Jolie speaking to CNN’s Arwa Damon about her visit and the 3 million people displaced in Iraq.
WOW, she looks really really bad. Is she anorexic or a coke/crack head?
She obviously has an eating disorder or is a total crack head, she and Amy Winehouse could be twins, massive heads on tiny toothpick bods,
And the vein, ewwwwwwww, the vien down her forehaed, I have seen healthier looking cancer tx patients.
Again how and why could anyone think she is hot???? She is NASTY.
It comes from an area with death, hunger, cold, disease, despair.
And they high-clothes brands. Designer fashion.
Shame on you!
She does look thinner than usual. I have noticed that she looks like this particularly after a visit with refugee camps. She clearly focuses more on her causes and being a mother rather than looking fabulous all of the time. She leads a very busy and rewarding life but the stress of this life that she has chosen… well, she wears it on her body. She obviously has a very high metabolism and she is focused on what she does not how she looks.
She has very little makeup on, if any at all, and her face structure is beautiful. It is very hot in Iraq. Given the circumstances of what is going on in Iraq and her purpose for being there, I am not sure if this is fertile ground for pigging out on food.
Angelina always looks good!! Way to go Brad & kiddos are all grateful!!
You look at the pictures and then you read the comments and you realize that there are people like “lola’ who see the world with eyes so tinted by hate that it totally obscures reality.
I know she’s always thin but…those are probably size 0 skinny jeans and they’re loose on her.
the reality is the woman looks sick and unhealthy and people telling her she looks great are not doing her any favors, she is way too skinny and looks sick or like a drug head (amy winehouse). I am just calling it like I see it.
Ditto Napa
You Americans are really a judgemental hateful bunch of hypocrites. Shame on you because the people casting stones are all sinners. The biggest hypocrite is your hair idol Jen, what the heck has she done that deserves praise?
I’m a bit conflicted.. I am definitely a supporter of Angie, but she does look skinny. This isn’t about what she’s wearing or whether she has make up (she looks great without). But I do see a lot a veins in her hands, arms, and forehead. I think she should consult a nutritionist to make sure she’s getting enough nutrients in her diet.
Maddox is such a badass.
.lol
I’m always surprised when people say Angelina is too thin. She’s always been thin. And to the fools who say she looked great in Tomb Raid, she did a lot of training to gain weight. Just look at the pictures of her when she wasn’t working on Tomb Raider. Also she always had a large forhead and visable veins. People should look at the pictures at the Mr. and Mrs. Smith premiers. It shows the viens, weight, forhead that for some reason people think just popped up five minutes ago. There are plenty of people much thinner than Angelina (Victoria Beckham, Nicole Kidman, etc). You can even see their backbones and ribs yet you nobody ever discusses their weight. People who are saying Angelina and Amy Winehouse look exactly alike sound ridiculous. If you’re going to insult somebody make it sound somewhat realistic.
I’ll say it again…the only reason women don’t rule the earth is that we are too busy being mean to one another to do anything else! Everytime we join here and comment on a woman’s looks instead of her actions, we are taking a little piece of our daughters futures and grinding them away.
ditto goaheadandy
I’m not a fan of Jen, but I believe she does work for some children’s hospitals.
Although really, by now she shouldn’t even be brought up. But of course she probably always will be.
Yes, Angelina does look skinny. Maybe she gets so busy she forgets to eat. I have the worst problem of only getting hungry when I don’t have time for food and can’t get any.
Maddox is soooooo cool. I adore him. I think Angelina’s work is amazing!
I’m no fan of Angelina, I have opinions on her personally, but she always seems to really put her heart into her charity work. She doesn’t just donate money, but she puts herself into the work. She’s done a lot of good and brought a lot of attention to the causes she believes in. Good for her.
Besides when she was pregnant and making Tomb Raider when hasn’t she been skinny. I just saw Beyond Borders and AMH and she was skinny then too
By the comments some people leave on here, you would think she killed your puppy or something.
Let her charity work speak for itself. It is what’s most important. You are so busy focusing on her weight and her family or past mistakes and all the negatives—->
I forgot most of the readers on here are perfect little angels whom have never done anything wrong in life. A mold created by god himself. Ha! Yeeeaaah right
I saw her get an Oscar and she was 30 pounds heavier than now (and much prettier).
Look, I actually think these pictures are alarming, and seriously, I think some one should try to help her.
I don’t think it’s drugs, though.
Regadless of whatever is happening with Brad, she has 6 children, not just MAddox, and she can’t afford to continue with her food issues.
I really hope she will get better.
Talking about her looks is not the issue, too thin, anorexic, etc, etc. Who cares? That just shows how superficial some people can be when there are horribly suffering people who need help.
To Angie is Brads girl: Please don’t judge all Americans by the likes of Lola. How would you like it if we judged all Brits by the maniacs posting on Female First?
she is amazing, beautiful and very special.
no matter how skinny or fat she is.
It is very common for aid workers to under-eat. Part of it is stress and part of it is feeling selfish or too fortunate when surrounded by people who are barely surviving. Maybe that is part of her current skinniness. I think she is just a thin type, mostly.
goaheadandy: that was just a “light bulb” moment for me reading that comment of yours. Never heard it put like that-LOVE it, and going to commit to not doing it. with anyone, ever.
texasmom: I was just coming here to say the same thing. I’ve actually heard her say in interviews something along those same lines.
I like the work you’ve done on your site – are you having fun with it? It’s interesting and well worth the time to visit.
#2, you are hysterical. Designer clothes? Angie is wearing the same old black clothes she always wears. Gosh, bitter ppl will come up with anything. She just went to IRAQ–a very dangerous place. This is her third trip. It takes time and energy to do that. And these do-nothing ppl on the internet spend their time ripping her to shreds. I hope trashing her makes you feel better about your meaningless, pathetic life.
dear crystal–settle down! I think it’s great what angie’s doing for other people. Do I know for sure that her motives are 100% self-less? No. Do you? No. But still, good for her. She IS too thin, and anybody can see that. People who disagree with her are not necessarily “haters” or “bitter”. And it’s presumptuous to say that any blogger has a “meaningless, pathetic life.” How is it that you know?
Texasmom are you serious? ANgie showed up the refugee camp with a gucci bag slung over her shoulder. She has six million luxury homes and a fleet of helicopters. She doesn’t feel guilty about of any of that, why would she feel guilty about eating food?She’s your average Hollywood starlet, starving herself to death because she thinks it makes her look good.
People act like she used to be bigger and suddenly lost weight. She has always been thin and she’s just a person who is veiny. Only haters would take her to task for having a designer bag as she’s visiting our troops and refugees. At some point the crazy Aniston fans or Jolie haters are going to have to get a grip because you just sound insane. And the same skinny cops would be on here criticizing others for calling Jessica Simpson fat. Why is it okay to ridicule someone who is thin but be vilified for making unkind remarks about heavier women. If one is wrong then so is the other.
Yes, she’s very thin (always has been), but Lola darling, you must be as big as a HOUSE to have that screwed a perspective on her weight.
Ned: don’t pretend to give a sh*t about AJ, you effing hypocrite.
hear, hear Beth
and Goaheaddandy: “I’ll say it again…the only reason women don’t rule the earth is that we are too busy being mean to one another to do anything else! Everytime we join here and comment on a woman’s looks instead of her actions, we are taking a little piece of our daughters futures and grinding them away. ” Amen.
ANYONE who does work like this, deserves their props. (Yes, even if you’re ugly and some hotter chick “stole” your man (ridiculous)she and all those like her, deserve support for their work.
She has lost weight (yes she has always been skinny) but her weight has definitely dropped. Every time she loses weight things aren’t going well for her – like when her mum passed away. Is there really truth to the rumour of her and Brad’s relationship going down hill? Let’s hope not for the kids sake.
She looks skinny, malnourished, unhealthy and like she may be balding. Brad is 10 years older, but she looks like she’s in her mid to late 40’s. I’m not sure I believe she’s only in her 30’s. The big head with collagen-injected lips on the stick-thin body is not helping the overall picture here either.
I salute this lady ( Angelina ) for her compassionate heart, trying to make a difference . What is wrong with that?
she looks beautiful and alot of people are naturally thin, I am, and people have accused me of bulimia. Believe me, I eat what I want, when I want and as much as I want. Some people can do that just like others who gain weight just by practically looking at something. But these people who are so obsessed with weight need to get off their high horsees.
lori, you sound bitter and hateful.
typical bitter aniston sympathizers who criticize while complementing chinny on her hot bod that she gets by focusing on no one but herself, yet she is still old and alone.
Thats a moving interview, thanks for posting it cb.
Just in regards to comments about AJ’s forehead, I think its genetic and has nothing to do with her weight or health. I have noticed julia roberts has a similar protruding vein on her forehead, and she seems to be a perfectly healthy weight. They’re both very beautiful and strong women and I think it’s simply a lack of makeup in these particular photos thats causing some this ruckus about her (obviously attractive) looks.
angie has always had a high forehead. a high forehead is a sign of beauty and intelligence, and if you have heard angie speak, she is very informed and intelligent.
Zoe, there is a huge difference between saying she doesn’t look good, than stating the obvious health issue here.
Angelina’s weight have fluctuated in the past, and she wasn’t “hollywood- thin” when she got her Oscar, but that has nothing to do with anything.
Even had Angelina been thin all of her life- this is not about “just looking thin”.
She looks sick.
When someone has lost so much weight, they should seek help and if you do care about her, you would be the first one to encourage her to get help.
I am no fan of her “acting ability”, but I don’t wish illness for anybody.
First – her work with refugees is good. Whatever her motives, it must do some good, bring some attention, and help in some way. It’s better than some of those other Hollywood morons like Paris who do nothing but party all the time.
Second – yes, she is too thin. She has always been thin, but now she really looks unhealthy, and she is skinnier than she was before. I don’t really like her, but for the kids sake, I hope she gets healthier.
Whatever…she’s a fake.
She was a very pretty girl but she had plastic surgery done to make her beautiful. She never could have been that with her original nose and she knows it.
Any attempt to be something other than a superficial egocentric lunatic overcompensating for a wild youth is wasted on me.
damn, she used to be so beautiful. She’s always been thin, but something’s off. Her forehead is so much larger almost as if her hairline is receding. Brad seems to bring out the anorexic in all his women.
GlobalCop says:You can’t imagine! She is the most awesome, friendly, cheerful, wonderful woman. To think she traveled 7000 miles; she could do anything and be anywhere, but she came by to share her incredible smile with us. We all walked out of there giddy. And hours later we’re all still smiling ear to ear. Even the cynical guys fell in love.
And she isn’t just a celeb who came to shake hands, she went out on patrol with our Bravo Company today, just before this, to meet with displaced Iraqis, outside the wire, in the streets of Baghdad. Something A LOT of the soliders on FOBs can’t say they’ve ever done.
Aside from technical screw-ups, it is impossible to take a bad photo of this woman. Every angle, every expression is pure beauty.
Truth from a soldier on flicker who is in Iraq-
Here you do, here you pay! As ugly as a sin!
haganustons jealously is showing. just because their rejected in love by men left and right idol is alone and lonely, why hate???
I think it’s very telling that an article about her return from Iraq and a video of an interview she did with CNN,has comments that are instead all about her weight. What is this world coming to?
She looks fine. She has ALWAYS been a thinner person. I look at her and I don’t see someone that’s ill or drugged up or anorexic. I see someone who is tired from a long trip, having seen things most of us will never see or experience in this lifetime.
Oh and people, please don’t feed the troll aka Lola. People with her mentality ought not to be responded to, except by a team of men in white coats leading her to a soft padded cell.
she does not look fine, look at the pics. yes she has been thin but she is unhealthy thin now.
Oh and people do rag about nicole and Posh’s weight whoever said they didn’t and only picked on angie.
Angie has admitted to major drug use in the past so why would her doing drugs again be a surprise?
This has nothing to do with jennifer aniiston whoever brought that up.
Yes she does look like amy winehouse, tiny bony body covered in tats with a huge head.
She is painfully thin and does not look healthy or good.
And to all that say she is naturally skinny have you not seen GIA? That was a healthy weight Angie.
Can’t believe so many people think I am so aweful because i think Angie looks like a nasty crack head, she does.
Lola
Grow up…please…soon.
Hey lola I think your missing the point! and for saintdevil if you go back and look ar her childhood pictures you will see she looks the same, her face is thinner but that has to do with aging.
Putting all that aside, she does a great deal, more than most, of charity work. For all of you complaining ask yourselves this “what have you done for someone else lately”?
Ned, go sell your “heartfelt sympathy” somewhere else, no one’s buying here. I admire the new approach, it’s much more sane (sounding) but, go fish.
saintdevil, normally, I would agree to an extent about what you said, at least as far as most people in the industry getting cut to pieces to look like that (Megan Fox, et al) and to a huge extent, it affects my view of how beautiful I think someone is, but in AJ’s case, looking at old pics of her, I know her lips are the real thing and I think her nose, too is the same, just on a much thinner face. But really, it’s the work that matters, right?
I really like that pic of her and the soldier, she’s glowing and he looks so proud and strong.
Man, I don’t care what anybody says, Angelina is the shit. It’s awesome that she went and spent time with the troops at Camp Liberty as well as Iraqi refugees.
It’s funny. She returns from a scary mission in Iraq, supporting the troops. She’s been there 3 times, talking time and energy to do this. She’s been doing this type of charity for 9 years. And, all the haters can talk about is–her weight, her looks.
Obviously, these people have nothing more important to talk about except the lowest, most superficial things in life. It shows how small-minded and sad they are.
such a pathetic skinny white trash!! her veins are the single most disgusting thing I’ve EVER seen!!!!! and for the people who compare her to Jen….GET A LIFE!!!! has anyone of you seen Jen’s Body??? her leg’s??? her arm’s??? her hair??? go away Angelina!!!!!
crystal:

*************************************************
Figures. Look who their idol is: the one who spends all her waking hours laying around the swimming pool tanning and blow-drying her hair, with never a thought in her head about what she could be doing for somebody else.
Poor Crystal. She actually thinks Angie’s fame is about something other than her looks. Do you honestly think people would fawn all over her if she were less attractive? Do think men would hang on her every word if they didn’t want to have sex with her. Do you think Brad Pitt would have given her the time of day? There are plenty of people who work as Ambassadors for the UN, plenty of people who go to refugee camps, donate their time and money, but only the most fuck-able one gets all the attention. Personally, I’d take Charliz Theron over Angie any day. She too works for the UN. She just wasn’t smart enough to become a global star by running off with someone else’s husband.
Zoe, are you looking at the same pictures?
Angelina looks “strong” ?
Seriously?
You think I need to fake anything or sell something?
She looks like she should check into a hospital. She is completely emaciated.
The point is not that she looks ugly or how scary and conspicuous her skeletal frame is.
She looks like a very ill or a dying person.
Instead of selling your BS about how “strong and proud” she looks – you should encourage her to get help before that would be too late.
When you keep saying positive things about an obvious case of either anorexia or drugs, you reinforce those distorted thoughts that this is somehow “beautiful”.
It’s not. and if someone is reading this and looks like that- she or he should get professional help.
for people whining about how shallow we are commenting about her appearance. You’re posting on one of the most shallow form of entertainment a celebrity gossip site. Stop acting like you’re such concerned global citizens, if you’re getting your worldly information from here. Why would you be here pretending to be so concerned as opposed to a more legitimate world/humanitarian issues board?
Ned, I said the soldier in the pic with her looks strong and proud.
Doof.
I feel so proud of Angelina Jolie for going to Iraq again and trying to bring attention to the real needs of real people who otherwise would be forgotten. I feel sad that the plight of refugees all over the world is not given more attention, and am always grateful when Angie puts herself out there to help. Ditto for all the wounded soldiers in this awful war.
I am so sick over this senseless, illegal war that goes on and on. Aren’t you? Why can’t we have Peace in the world? All wars, killing and hatred are wrong. It’s so obvious. We are supposed to love our fellow humans, be compassionate and tolerant and cause no harm. To think of the great sorrow and suffering on all sides…it’s too painful. And yet it goes on…
God bless anyone and everyone who does anything to help the situation. Including little Maddox in his big sunglasses, looking so mature as he walks to the car while being photographed just for being… him. Very cool kid. Bless Angelina Jolie for raising her kids to make a difference, and for putting herself out there and making an effort to make the world a better place. May she and her family enjoy health and happiness, always.
I’ve read a couple of interviews of Angelina, and the interviewers have commented not on her height (she’s about 5’8″) but on how tiny her frame is and how fine boned she is. I think the photos of her reflect that. And I’m with “goaheadandy”: if we want to change the world for girls, we all need to put a lid on our cattiness and focus on the positives–in ourselves, our close friends and families, and yes, on prominent women whose pictures we have been in the habit of dissecting in order to find some minor feature to give an “uck” or “eew.”
I have a friend who is always two good meals away from looking ‘scary skinny’ and it’s a real struggle to keep looking healthy. She normally eats a lot just to keep the weight on, but a 3-day flu or a long haul flight can really make her look worrying thin.
Angelina Jolie seems to have the same sort of body type. I don’t believe for a moment that she’s addicted – addiction makes you selfish. It doesn’t make you fly out to Iraq to spend time with refugees and soldiers.
ok I don’t like AJ BUT I am guessing she is thinner now than back a few years due to her constantly running after 6 kids… that would cause anyone to lose a decent amount of weight. I doubt it really has anything to do with her going to Iraq for a few days… it takes longer than a few days to become a twig, although I agree she may not have been gorging on food while she was there. I think she should probably gain a few pounds b/c she’d be healthier, not because she’d look more beautiful.
Looks aside, I think the attention she has brought to the plight of the Iraqi’s is very important. I commend her for that.
Guys.
Skinny does NOT equal drug addict.
Yes. She could probably stand to gain a few, but I’m thinking, with all the kids and causes she’s got going on, I’m sure eating’s the last thing on her mind. How shameful of her to be so selfless! THAT BITCH.
Why can’t we focus on the fact that she’s doing something great in this world?
No wonder other countries despise us.
To all you people feeling sorry/angry/resentful/whatever that Angie is thin as a twig, take comfort in the fact that in another 20 years her weight will go north as her metabolism goes south.
Charity is chic, or whatever your name is, you are too consumed by hate to say anything which doesn’t make you sound bitter and spiteful. Angelina has an Oscar and another nomination. She’s done a lot in 34 yrs. All you have is an ugly face staring at you in the mirror. I don’t care if you are pretty on the outside; your inside is puke and that’s what counts.
Agreed Annie and Cheyenne!
We can obviously bash every other female celeb but not Angie? We can say mean, awful, hateful, nasty things about anyone else but not her? Give me a break. I nor anyone else HAS to like her and that does not make anyone a “hater.” Because she goes around the world trying to save it makes her beautiful and a wonderful human being? Everyday people give up time and money to go to countries in need and never get an ounce of respect like Angie is given. They also do it with less money. Also, she has openly talked of drug abuse, like heroine, which from my years of working in a hospital is not something you just quit. Years of drug therapy if ever. No one has to like her and if they choose to not like her then that is o.k. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…….
you know more people rag about posh and nicole’s weight than angie, why is it so taboo to make comments about angie?
I think it is heroin, I really di, i think she is addicted, the tat oj her belly that that nourishes me kills me or what ever, that was supposed to be about heroin.
i don’t even think she carried th twins because of her heroin addiction.
She is not naturally that skinny she looks sick, whether you are a fan of hers or not it is obvious she is not physiacally or mentally healthy.
Oh and like she actually runs around chasing the kids, yeah right she can’t even be bothered to learn how to tend to poor Zahara’a hair.
I don’t think she is coping with her and brad’s split well either another explanation for her malnourished appearance, probably doing more of the H. IMO
I like her. She’s learnt to spin this whole celebrity thing to suit her but she loves her kids, that’s something you can’t pretend at. Whatever faults she may have, and every person has some, she really believes in doing her bit to make the world a better place. I can understand that, once you become a mom every hurt, sad, abandoned child is yours. It’s a powerful thing and it can change the world. Obviously the cynic in me is impressed with her ability to use the culture of celebrity for her own aims. But respect is due nontheless. I am a fan. PS she’s always had that big vein on her forehead lol.. it kind of humanises her and makes her more beautiful though. But for her kids she should be taking better care of herself. Eat a couple of burgers Angie!
Awww.. and little Mad with his cool shades, just like mom’s – you baddass you! lol!
Yeah Lola I guess Jen carried Shiloh and the twins that’s why they aren’t addicted to heroin, only addicted to tanning and cigarettes. As for Z love her hair beautiful and natural like mine.
Well she is skinny but still strong enough to carry Zahara and Shiloh last year and to carry both twins at the doctors recently
