Angelina Jolie Is EW's Valedictorian

November 24, 2007

Angelina Jolie

Entertainment Weekly has chosen its Entertainers of the Year: The 25 Top Stars of 2007 or as they like to call it the Valedictorians.

You can find anyone from George Clooney to Johnny Depp on the list.

Here’s what they had to say about Angelina Jolie as one of their Valedictorians.

Angelina Jolie is currently fulfilling fanboy fantasies in Beowulf with her role as Grendel's mom. Grendel's naked mom. In digital 3-D, no less. But energizing her base is hardly the 32-year-old actress' only accomplishment this year. In A Mighty Heart, Jolie strapped on a prosthetic pregnancy belly, donned a curly wig, and delivered the sort of heart-wrenching turn that reminded audiences why she won that Academy Award (for 1999's Girl, Interrupted ) in the first place. In other words, she acted.

''The belly just slid right on, and a wig is a lot easier than getting your hair done, but learning her French-Cuban accent was difficult,'' Jolie says, describing her preparations for playing Mariane Pearl, widow of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter slain in Pakistan in 2002. During the five weeks she shot the picture with director Michael Winterbottom in India — mostly in one house, with a camera following her from room to room as she sometimes improvised dialogue — Jolie was hounded by paparazzi, and a terrorist group reportedly declared a fatwa against her during production. ''It wasn't like a code red or anything,'' she says, ''but we did have a few moments...''

isn't she getting ready to cheat on Brad with the bodyguard right about now? yeah, tell me those two don't have huge trust issues with one another. She must be bored to shit with brad if she's hiring herself a yummy buff man who happens to be in better shape than Brad and who she has already slapped with a pet name (chisel)! Notice in almost every pic, he is standing by her and brad is walking ahead of them. what a joke this relationship is.

I am starting a campaign. Angelina deserves to be remembered for her role in Beowulf forever with an Oscar...even if it is type casting. I'd even like to give the introductory comments. Hmmm, now who is in that Oscar voting group again?

I found it a bit funny to bring up that entire Julia Roberts/D Moder story that no one knows if it is true or not. Also didn't Julia Roberts hook up with Danny while he was married. Still who knows the truth but I doubt "sources" that refuse to be named

johnny depp is definitely entertainer of the year. he is such a phenomenal actor and i virtually never hear about his personal life - what a guy!

maybe I'm not the "naive" one ... ask yourself this: if it was a fact 3 years ago that Danny Moder was working on the set of MAMS, then why did it take the tabloids all these years to put their spin on it? Why not use this "phony" story when Jolie and Brad first hooked up? If Danny didn't work on the movie then we can say it's a lie but if he did,it sure makes you wonder what else he knows. You're very gullible to think that Danny or Julia don't talk and gossip with their inner circle of friends... so I bet there is plenty of truth to it - you really think that Danny never reported back to his family what might have been going on behind the scenes? Sometimes it takes awhile for the truth to come out but eventually gossip does travel through the grapevine.

To the Jolie wannabe's: No amount of time can make one forget why she has brad in the first place:-) Let's face it, even Julia Robert's husband Danny has said that she was a constant flirt on the set of MAMS ... they even called her spider women b/c she was pulling brad into her web ( I do find that a little silly but the point has been made). Her personal life outweighs anything that she is doing professionally... she has pranced her boyfriend and kids around the world this year so yes, we have all seen how entertaining she is especially for the papz! Entertaining yes, moral fiber NO.

Yes, Angelina is an inspiration to any couple in the world. She and Brad honor and cherish their partner's wishes, which Brad's ex-wife never did and wrecked her own marriage, then had an audacity to blame her own failure on Angelina.

wow people let the past remain in the past. how sad to harbor such feelings years after the fact. talking about entertainers not their personal life. nice achievement for angelina.
