FameCrawler : Jon Voight

Jon Voight Desperate to Reconcile with Angelina

Karl Erikson — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:48:00 GMT

After Jon Voight said that his daughter, Angelina Jolie, had "serious emotional problems" back in 2002, the two have understandably had what you might call a falling out.

Jolie said that she no longer wanted a relationship with her father. "My father and I don't speak," she said. "I don't hold any anger toward him. I don't believe that somebody's family becomes their blood. Because my son's adoped, and families are earned." Um, yeah, no anger there at all.

Now Jon is desperate to end the battle with Angelina. He really wants to meet his 6 grandkids, 3 of them adopted. He's never, in fact, met Brad, either.

"I'm always trying to reach her and send her my love," Jon says.

A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper, "There's nothing Jon wants more than to have his family back together again. It kills him to be shunned by his children. He's willing to do whatever it takes to put this rift behind him."

"As Jon grows older he's realizing the importance of family," says the source. "and he longs to be a part of his daughter and grandchildren's lives. It breaks his heart to be kept away. Since Angelina's mother died, Brad Pitt has been gently urging her to reconcile with her father, if not for her sake, then so the children can have their grandfather in their life."

That's really tough. I've certainly made plenty of mistakes in my life. I'd hope that Angelina will see fit to let Jon back in. It's not like she's never made blunders. I mean, hello? Billy Bob Thornton? Blood in your necklace? Stealing another woman's husband?

Obama Says No Thanks to Lindsay Lohan

Karl Erikson — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:31:00 GMT

Lindsay Lohan offered to help Barack Obama by hosting events for younger voters. And Barack, being of infinite wisdom, told her he wanted none of her whorebaggery ways. Well, he put it more diplomatically than that, of course. He said, "she is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us."

Right, like I said...whorebag. Maybe the Republicans will take her. They'll take anybody.

The latest in the polls shows John McCain is ahead of Barack Obama by a couple of points. So the mudslinging is kicking up to high gear. The latest in potential controversy comes with the following video snippet, in which some people seem to think Obama is calling Alaska governor Sarah Palin - mother of 5 - a pig. What do you think?

Jon Voight supplied the superstar celebrity quotient that came to the Republican National Convention this week. The only other four celebrity mega-star Republicans, Tom Selleck, wife Jillie Mack, Jerry Bruckheimer and Patricia Heaton, all stayed home tending to their humongous careers on the big and small screens.

Voight showed his GOP candidates some love, but when asked by the StarTribune about his famous daughter he replied, "Who knows which way she'll vote," and confirmed that he has yet to meet any of Jolie's children.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Voight was effusive about McCain, calling him an "amazing guy" and predicting the Arizona senator would keep the country "safe with prosperity."

Voight is equally in awe of Sarah Palin, saying she is a "beautiful choice" and praising "the pure simplicity of her poise and experience."

Speaking of ominous events that could prove catastrophic for our nation, Voight confirmed that he is working on a THIRD "National Treasure" movie.

Pictures of Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Faked?!

Whit Honea — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:04:00 GMT

The folks at NY Magazine are calling shenanigans on People. Actually, they're calling Photoshop. They are claiming that little Vivienne Marcheline is not yet able to smile (or Knox Leon for that matter) and that the grin we see is actually the result of some fancy tampering.

"In that cover photo, it looks like Vivienne Marcheline — clearly the Ashley half of this Olsen-like combo — is sporting a giant grin. She may even be laughing. Hold on. These babies are purported to be a mere 3 weeks old! Parenting magazine says that babies don't smile from exterior stimulation until two to four months — even if said exterior stimulation is the most beautiful pair of humans in the entire world."

StrollerDerby isn't sure that they agree and asks, "what to you think? Photoshopped? Or is Vivi working out a bit of flatulence? Come on, we parents know even newborns make all kinds of faces, even if Parenting magazine hasn't explicitly told us so."

Personally, I never would have thought such a thing, but it's not like Photoshopping magazine covers is unheard of. I do have trouble believing that Brad and Angelina would agree to the face of their new baby being altered- and it seems like they would have some say in the cover before it was released.

That's just a theory. They may have been busy changing diapers when it went to press.

In the meantime, these photos are clearly unaltered.

I'm sure you've heard the big news - the first photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins were released last night. But what you didn't hear about is what the publications had to agree to in order to secure the prized photos of little Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon.

In a joint deal, People and Hello! magazines reportedly paid $15 million for the coveted pics, with the condition that the victorious magazine would have to agree to no longer refer to Brad and Angelina as 'Brangelina.'

I'm thinking this is because Angelina's always been pissed that Brad's name comes first in that nickname - she probably would like for them to be referred to as 'Angelrad' from here on out.

Angelina's Not the Only One With Daddy Issues

Karen — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:02:00 GMT

Angelina's rocky relationship with her father is obviously not the only one in the world like it. Another celebrity's father has recently been trying to contact her through the media.

Stephen Reed - Charlotte Church's biological dad wants to be get back in touch with his daughter 20 years after he last saw her.

He said: "Please get in contact with me, I still love you. It upsets me very much that much that I've got a grandchild who I don't know and another on the way, but what can I do?"

Stephen, 44, claims Charlotte's perspective on him is wrong: "There are some people who are obviously trying to drive a wedge between us and keep us separated. People have told her things about me that are abhorrent."

Stephen remarried and the couple has two sons. He tried to reunite with Charlotte on several occasions, but was shunned.

Charlotte, 22, previously said about her biological father's side of her family: "They are strangers to me. I don't know if they are moral. Ignorance is bliss, I'm staying in my own ignorant bubble, right or wrong."

Angelina Jolie Twins Photos: SOLD!!!

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:58:00 GMT

Mink diapers and diamond pacifiers, anyone? Brangelina twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are barely three days old but are already worth a fortune. Nice Matin, the hometown newspaper that first broke the news of the births, reported on Sunday that Angelina and Brad have already sold the rights for the first photo of the twins to a U.S. publication and that the proceeds would go to charity. Nice Matin puts the photos' worth at more than $11 million. The name of the publication has not been revealed.

Darryn Lyons, owner of celebrity photo agency Big Pictures in London, thinks the snaps are worth more in the $15 - $20 million range. The only other photos that "would possibly come that close is Britney Spears giving birth to an alien," he said.

Then there's veteran London-based publicist Max Clifford, who sees something more divine in the escalating worth of the babies' photos and the paparazzi's desperation to get a piece of the action.

"In the celebrity world, it seems to be the double second coming."

Jon Voight Forced To Communicate With Angelina Through Media

I don't think things are as hunky dory as Jon Voight would like us to believe.

The Insider caught up with Angelina's Daddy to talk to him about the arrival of his new grandchildren.

“I am deeply happy. I’m over the moon. It’s magnificent. In this world, all we can hope for is that mommy and the kids are healthy. I’m very excited and thanks for letting me send my love to them. If i were called today, I’d be there.”

Photos! Angelina Jolie Names Daughter After Mom Marcheline Bertrand

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:47:00 GMT

The Brangelina twins have finally arrived. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline on Saturday night. And Angelina lovingly pays tribute to her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, with the naming of her new daughter.

Actress Bertrand, who Angelina frequently praised as a good mom and friend, died in 2007 after a lengthy battle with ovarian cancer. Marcheline raised Angelina and her brother, James Haven, on her own after her divorce from Angie's father Jon Voight in 1978.

Bertrand had small roles in movies such as Blake Edwards' 1983 comedy "The Man Who Loved Women." She grew up in Chicago, and according to daughter Angelina Jolie, Bertrand was often wrongly identified as a French actress: "My mom is as far from French Parisian as you can get. She grew up in a bowling alley that my grandparents owned."

Angelina and Brad's Double Date With Clint Eastwood and Wife

Karen — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 13:03:00 GMT

The power couple went out with Clint Eastwood and his wife Dina the other night, but ended up at the wrong restaurant. When they caught up with The Eastwoods across the street, the foursome were said to be taking over the world or something.

"They were all drinking the wine, but Angelina hardly took a sip. The whole group was extremely animated, clapping their hands and laughing out loud like they were old friends. Brad was overheard talking about throwing rotten eggs as a kid, and Dina was telling Brad and Angie that they should take their kids to the aquarium.

"At one point Angie got up to go to the bathroom, and you could see her pregnant stomach. She wore a loose black dress and had a scarf around her neck, but a bump was visible."

Brad took Angelina's hand to walk her to the door, then kissed her. Awwwww.

Brad and Angelina Save a Young Fan from Being Trampled

Karen — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 23:03:00 GMT

When Angelina Jolie was honored at the Santa Barbara Film Festival at the Arlington Theatre, she and Brad Pitt weren't expecting to be heroes too. A throng of fans got overzealous and 8 year old Seth Mascareno was squashed against a metal railing.

The boy's mother Adeline explains, "The crush of people was just overwhelming. Angelina and Brad rushed over and she helped pull Seth under the barricade while Brad yelled for the crowd to back up.

"Then Angelina took Seth aside to make sure he was unharmed. When she was sure he was all right, she signed a Tomb Raider photo he was carrying. She stroked Seth's hair and said: 'There, there sweetheart, you're OK now.'"

What a touching moment for the young fan!

A source close to Jolie said, “Angelina’s been eating onion rings with mustard and a box of chocolates in the same sitting! She loves these bars that are dark chocolate and cinnamon mixed with Mexican chillies for an added kick.”

“Angelina’s been splurging on cupcakes that Maddox and Zahara have been making. Brad has also been going out of his way to make things easier for Angelina by playing ‘Mr Mum’.

"He’s been cooking, playing with the kids and being a great father.”

"This is absolutely not true and reckless and dangerous to put these ideas out into the world."

I seem to recall Brad Pitt talking about trying to change laws to protect children from the paparazzi. I wonder if he is still going forward with that. I sure hope so.

Jolie Shedding Light on Iraq's War Torn People: 58 Percent are CHILDREN

Karen — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:33:00 GMT

A goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina Jolie is in Iraq trying to jumpstart rescue efforts for over 2 million people displaced in the wartorn country of Iraq. It seems there are not any definitive plans in place to assist people in this situaiton. 58 percent of this some 2 million people are UNDER 12 years of age.

"There doesn't seem to be a real coherent plan to help them," said Jolie, speaking in an exclusive interview with CNN's Arwa Damon Thursday.

"There's lots of goodwill. Lots of discussion, but there seems to be a lot of talk at the moment, and a lot of pieces that need to be put together. I'm trying to figure out what they are."

"How Iraq settles in the years to come is going to affect the entire Middle East," said Jolie. "It's in our best interest to address a humanitarian crisis on this scale because displacement can lead to a lot of instability and aggression."

The full transcript of CNN's exclusive interview with Jolie is here (video also).

Angelina Jolie Has Left Brad Pitt!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:02:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie has left Brad Pitt... not for good though. Did I scare you? Aww, I'm naughty aren't I? Jolie has left though - she flew solo to Amman. Ange boarded a British Airways flight to the middle eastern city, however we're not sure why.

She could be headed to Jordan for her United Nations work or maybe it has something to do with her being pregnant with twins or triplets? Although the pregnancy theory really doesn't "fly" does it? It does make one wonder though, considering reports are claiming that Angelina is in a high risk pregnancy and you would think she wouldn't go far, especially leave the country.

I suppose we will find out at some point what the real reason for her long distance flight is. Perhaps she just needed to get away - usually Jolie and Pitt and their big crew of kids are jet setting around and dividing their time between all of their homes in the States, so maybe she was itching to take a flight?

That's awesome for her, but back to that dress - it's black on top (sliming) and patterned on the bottom (to HIDE things you want hidden, as in preggo belly) and the overall appearance, is flowy. My detective work is outstanding. I should get an Outstanding Performance of the Year award for, um, something.

Congrats Angelina Jolie on your ~~pregnancy~~ award!

Angelina's Dad On Angelina's Pregnancy: "It's Wonderful News"

HerBadMother — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:02:00 GMT

This is probably going to piss Angie off to no end, but her estranged father, Jon Voight, has been speaking to the press about her again, this time about her rumored pregnancy.

He told the New York Observer that he's excited by the prospects she might be pregnant. Rumors of Angelina's pregnancy - and that it might be twins - were stoked on Sunday when she turned up at the SAG Awards dressed in a very loose and flowy and bump-concealing vintage Hermes gown.

“It’s wonderful news that she’s having another child, if that’s true,” he told the Observer on Monday. Too bad that she won't let him see the grandchildren that she already has. He'll only get to enjoy this next one - if there is a next, or next ones, plural - through the tabloids.

Angelina Jolie: Remembering Her Mom One Year After Her Death

Sassy Smith — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:06:00 GMT

Angie and James will visit their mother's grave and reminisce about her with Jolie's four kids, showing them photographs of Marcheline. They also plan to prepare their mom's favorite meal - thick vegetable soup.

A family friend said, "James and Angelina adored their mother. They want this day to be soley dedicated to her memory."

According to their friend, Jamies is worried about Angelina and added, "Angie still weeps for her a lot of and James has been saying how he's worried she will fall apart on Sunday."

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt - SEVEN Kids?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are going to be parents of SEVEN kids? Well if reports are true about Angelina being pregnant with twins - the couple already have four kids - Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, and now it's rumored that they are adopting again!

Star magazine is claiming that the power couple have fallen in love with a girl whose parents were killed in the Katrina tragedy and want to adopt her.

An insider said, "Brad met a little girl and fell completely in love. He and Angie had already decide that their next child would be a daughter. They were originally going to adopt a girl from Africa, but now Brad is sure this child is the one."

They're looking to create their very own baseball team! Or basketball team. Or hockey team. I, um, don't know much about sports. Let's put it this way - they'll have some kind of team!

Angelina Jolie Pregnant With Twins?

X17online is reporting (with 100% certainty) that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with twins. If that's true, they'll have 6 kids! Plus whoever ELSE they apparently plan on adopting. All those kids are all so young, too. I'd say "How does she do it?" but you and I both know she has tons of money, and tons of money = nannies and housekeepers.

Still. She makes me tired just thinking about the diapers!

Brad And Angie: MORE KIDS!

HerBadMother — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:23:00 GMT

God, these two just don't stop, do they? It's like they think that they're the only two people on earth who should have babies or something.

According to Angie's brother James - yeah, the one that she frenched at the Oscars way back when she was a bad-ass who cut herself and played at incest - Angie and Brad are preparing to bring more children into their expansive brood. He says that the couple are planning a trip to Africa over Easter to visit orphanages with the hope of finding a new little sister for sons Maddox & Pax and daughters Zahara and Shiloh.

According to James, “they are creating one big family and will keep adopting as long as they are able to.”

“Angie and Brad talk about how much they have been taught by their kids. In many respects, Angie saved Zahara’s life and there are so many more children whose lives she could save and she talks about that constantly.”

Look, I don't want to sound like a picky hater, but there are BILLIONS of children whose lives could use saving. If this is really about saving lives, she and Brad could probably make a bigger dent in those numbers if they gave up a good chunk of their wealth and donated it to orphanges and child-care centres and hospitals and families who need it, rather than just scooping out one kid at a time and enrolling them in private Manhattan French schools.

Just a thought.

Zahara's Birth Mother Raped

HerBadMother — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 12:32:00 GMT

The good news coming out of the Angelina's-Adoption-Gone-Bad story this week: Zahara's birth mother does not want to remove Zahara from her adoptive family. Also good: Zahara's birth mother does not have AIDS. The not-so-good? Zahara was, apparently, conceived in rape.

Mentwabe Dawit, Zahara's birth mother, told Reuters that she was attacked one evening in 2004 after a day's work at a construction site in the southern Ethiopian town of Awasa.

As she walked home in the darkness, a man approached. "He pulled a dagger, put one hand on my mouth, so that I could not scream. He then raped me and disappeared." The 24-year-old decided to keep the assault a secret. "I feared the consequences of being raped in a community where rape is considered a taboo, even if what happened happened forcibly," she said.

Now, the fact that Zahara was conceived in rape does not in way bear upon her lovability and adorability and the extent to which she will be cherished throughout her life. Not one little bit. It's just a really, really sad detail, is all - one that underscores just how tremendously wonderful it is that such a child was given a chance at a happy life in a happy family, loved by happy parents. (If, that is, we believe that Angie and Brad are happy. Whatever the case, I think that they're both beyond happy to be Zahara's parents, and that's what matters.)

(Could the week in gossip get more depressing? Between rumored deaths and stories about suicide and depression, it's hardly shaping up to be a cheery Thanksgiving. Could someone maybe show their boobs or something? You know, make everyone feel better?)
