Us Weekly: Angelina Jolie starves herself, feels guilty when she eats
Angelina Week is going full-force! And now we even have some tabloid reports to go along with all of our new photos and interviews. Us Weekly has a bizarre (or on-target?) report about Angelina’s thinness, which… I’m kind of tired of people discussing Jolie’s thinness. She doesn’t really look any heavier or thinner since last year or the year before. She lost a lot of weight after her mom died, and then slowly come back to the figure she has now, which I think it probably close to her natural state. Would I love for Angelina to put on 20 pounds? Of course. I think she would look great with some additional weight on her bones. But to me, she doesn’t look scary-skinny like too many of the girls who bulimia their way to slender figures.
Unlike some of her peers, Angelina Jolie’s pin thin frame has nothing to do with vanity.
The U.N. goodwill ambassador, 36, who travels the globe meeting the poor, “puts herself on fasts to make statements for the children she visits,” a Jolie source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands Friday).
“She says, ‘If they can’t eat, I can’t eat,'” the source adds. The busy mother of six “does different cleanses from around the world. It’s very dramatic, but that’s how she gets.”
If she does eat a burger and fries, says the source, “she feels guilty about it.”
The actress — currently promoting her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey — has partner Brad Pitt, 47, worrying about her health, says a second insider.
“He’s worried about her and has made her see a zillion doctors, but they keep telling her she’s fine.”

Yeah, I don’t believe this. I think Jolie – or anyone who works in famine-ravaged areas of the world – has moments of guilt at being from a country of plenty, but she’s been doing UNHCR work for more than a decade. I just don’t buy that this is her thought process.
Meanwhile, Page Six had this story about Angelina this morning:
Angelina Jolie is asking politicians for their opinions on her movie, “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” set during the Bosnian war. At a Hearst Tower screening Tuesday night, director Jolie told Marie Claire editor Joanna Coles that she’s discussed the film with Bill Clinton, who “has [it], but has not watched it.”
She also said she was “nervous” for the reaction of former NATO commander Gen. Wesley Clark, a consultant on the film. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright also has a copy. As for the current administration, Jolie said, “We’d hope to send it to anyone who is willing to sit down and watch it.”

Well, considering that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s elbow is Team Aniston, I’m guessing Angie won’t be sending it to Hills. But I’m sure Bubba enjoys Angelina, although she’s too skinny for his tastes. Maybe Robert Gates wants to see it? I’m surprised Jolie didn’t send it to Colin Powell – you know that she’s tight with him, right?
