A “friend” of Angelina Jolie tells British tabloid the Daily Express that Angie is bored with Hollywood.
Jolie, who was recently named the world’s most powerful celebrity by Forbes magazine (she dethroned Oprah), has been a goodwill ambassador for the UN for almost 8 years.
Some might argue that Barack Obama is the world’s most powerful celebrity, but that’s beside the point.
The friend says of Jolie: “She is passionate about people’s rights, war and justice and thinks she can get more hands-on, and make even more of a difference by getting into politics. She admires Obama and thinks she could make a big difference too if she were in his position.”
Actors in politics certainly aren’t a new phenomenon – see Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Jolie will be turning 37 in 2012, so she would meet the age requirement.
Our suggestion: Replace the often poorly-spoken Joe Biden as VP with Jolie in 2012, with Jolie having an eye towards a presidential run in 2016.
really?
Angelina was indeed a good actress. And it is not surprising that a powerful actress like her will pierce into politics. Well, there are already few we can name like Arnold Schwarzenegger. We can’t deny the fact that we can be famous inshow business (aside from politics, business and sports). Hollywood attracts people like magnets. Many dream to be part of it but only few are given the chance. What is it really that attracts us in Hollywood fame? Isn’t it that knowingness that we have succeeded, that we are admired, that we have everything we could want, that everyone is jealous of. I don’t feel comfortable with jealousy, I never have, but what good would being a big celebrity be if there weren’t people around to know you? To be a celebrity means you have been acknowledged for being somehow above the rest for something. These days I suppose you don’t have to have any outstanding qualities to do so, and yet it is still in some way interpreted that way in our mind. If you are a celebrity, you are special. In the spotlight today in Hollywood is an actress that already proved her worth-Evan Rachel Wood. It was a surprise when Evan Rachel Wood was cast in True Blood. She won't be a cast regular, but Evan Rachel Wood is expected to guest on the show for at least two episodes. She will play the role of a queen of some sort. The show is getting stick as a callous attempt to cash in on the teen vampire craze, thanks to the popular Twilight series. Wood is widely acknowledged as an incredibly talented actress, and aside from a bevy of teen roles in mainstream productions, has featured in indie films and Broadway productions. Still, at this point, it's doubtful Evan Rachel Wood is doing TV work because she needs a cash until payday loan.
