I don’t think you intended to imply that but it appeared to me that some people thought those were Jolie’s words, so I wanted to clear that up.
The article you link to is putting words in her mouth. The PAGE says she claims “four lovers,” but Jolie’s actual QUOTE is “I’ve only slept with four men.” Jolie said “men,” not "lovers.
Why believe her “played up bad girl rep” and not her played up good girl rep? Sounds like we have conflicting stories from the same person, so we can just eliminate everything she’s said on either side of the issue. So we are left with no idea at all what her sex life is like, at least from the evidence contained in your post.

Have you propsed this out of the blue I hope?

Re: Billy Bob. I’m pretty sure I recall him having been engaged to Laura Dern at the time he ran off to Vegas with Angelina. Not technically married but still committed to someone else.
Re: She did not sleep with Brad before he officially left his wife. That may only be semantics, she may not have had vaginal intercourse but that doesn’t preclude other things. The chick that broke up my boyfriend and I the first time refused to have intercourse with him until he told me about them, but she’d make out with him and blow him all the time before that.
Re: Angelina being more beautiful than a lot of people. Have you seen her lately? She’s turning into one of those Hollywood scarecrows and looking pretty ragged. This isn’t meanness or jealousy talking, I think she was very beautiful and it’s sad to see her following the skeleton trend.
I’m a little critical of her adoptions. In part because there are funky things about her adoptions - Maddox was adopted from Cambodia during a period where the State Department had shut down Cambodia as a possible country due to “baby selling.” Hundreds of adoptive parents didn’t get their kids out. Jolie did. There is also a lot of red flags in her life that - having passed a homestudy - I wonder how she manages to pass one. Things like kids being placed in her home too close. Or being placed in her home when her relationship is still fairly new. Or playing a child in a home with a woman who has been through multiple divorces. Even ignoring what seems to have been a shocking and unstable past, she wouldn’t have gotten past our social worker. But I think they overlook a lot of things when you are famous.
I’m also “concerned” - in that way people are concerned about situations they know nothing about - that Jolie gets a rush from adopting children - and I hope that rush holds when she has a house full of teenagers. I’ve met people who are hooked on adopting babies (and people who are hooked on having them), and it can be a sad situation for the kids. I hope that isn’t the case here, and I have no reason other than successive adoptions to believe it is. And there are plenty of adoptive parents who have big families that do a great job raising them to adulthood - they want a family - not babies.
That doesn’t mean she doesn’t love her children or that she isn’t a good mother or that she isn’t an advocate for international adoption. I suspect that Jolie may not have even been aware of what “normal adoption” is like for normal people (I think Madonna got caught by the same thing). However, I do think Jolie is smart and has paid attention and has caught onto the fact she’s been treated a little differently by the system.
Jolie has only been divorced once. Brad Pitt is her second husband.
Jolie has been divorced twice. Her first husband was her Hackers costar Jonny Lee Miller and her second husband was Billy Bob Thornton.
She is not currently married to Brad Pitt.
Sounds like she’s just leaving out the women and ‘everything but’ guys. Sh wouldn’t be the first hot woman (though somewhat less in person) with a troubled past and a wild side who, technically, has a very small number of actual sexual partners (meaning male + intercourse, in this case).
Thanks. My mistake.
Well, so far I don’t see anything about her that’s deserving of scorn. Even if she DID lie about her sex life…big fuckin’ deal. Like millions of people don’t do that every day. She’s not lying to her lover, by all accounts she’s a good mother, a generous person, and tries to do good things for lots of people who need it. The least of my concerns is whether she told the truth about how many people she’s fucked. It certainly isn’t my business.
I’m a really big fan of Jolie as an actress and I’ve seen almost all of her movies. However, I remember reading an interview with Laura Dern about how she found out that Thorton and she broke up because she saw news of his marriage to Jolie on TV. That made me think that both Jolie and Thorton were scumbags, a feeling that I haven’t been able to shake. The Pitt/Aniston thing did nothing to dispel it.
I’m entitled to my opinion about a celebrity without accusations that I hate her because she’s beautiful or that I’m calling her a slut. Nope, sorry, not the case. I don’t like what I’ve seen of her as a person. I think she has deliberately interfered in several pre-existing relationships. She also has been very open about her sexual exploits in the past and seems to be backpedaling now, which seems silly and kind of lame. She talked about her sex life on Inside the Actor’s Studio, how she took her first lover when she was in her early teens, her fascination with knifeplay in bed, etc. Other actors don’t talk about those things, but she did, so… it’s not a surprise that people are talking about her love life.
I think she’s kind of a weirdo. Doesn’t take away from her acting ability or her humanitarian efforts. All those things can co-exist in one person. I just wouldn’t want to hang out with her, thankfully not much risk of me having to break that to her any time soon.
I do very vividly recall an interview she gave when there was speculation that she and Brad were having an affair during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith where she said that she didn’t need to sleep with someone else’s husband because she had “lovers” over whenever she pleased, or something to that effect. I don’t know if that clears anything up, but there it is there.
In her Inside the Actor’s Studio interview she not only said that she had an older, live-in boyfriend but that:
[ul]
[li]She was having sex with him at 14[/li][li]She was having wild sex with him at 14[/li][li]Even so she still got so bored with just wild sex she started ‘cutting’ with him[/li][/ul]
Combined with her being openly bi, her ‘method-acting’ lesbian scenes in her very first feature (HBO’s Gia), her marriage to Billy Bob who is well known to like to smack his women around a lot, her Oscar appearance with and statements regarding her brother etc.
All these make any statement on her part to her personal life being, um, uneventful a tad on the laughable side.
She’s the last woman I would have thought would go all guilt-trip on her slutty past, but I guess pumping out a puppy does that… 
Same recollection here. I don’t really remember “lots” of lovers; just that she was into wild freaky kinky sex with them.
That could have been all bullshit too for all I know.
Apparently, the original comment was from an interview she did in 2003 so would preclude Brad and probably the “lovahs” she had after she divorced BBT.
The way I look at it is that Keith Richards has probably never formally stated for the record that he’s a massive drug user. But his reputation as such has been out there for decades. If he was to claim at this point in his career that his drug history was totally exaggerated and he had never done anything more in his lifetime than smoke four marijuana cigarettes, I’d be a little skeptical of why he waited so long to refute public perception.
Of course, he’s twice as old as Jolie, as is his career and image. How would you have felt if he had made such a statement in 1974?
Great googly moogly, she’s an ACTRESS! It’s her job, in the roles she’s chosen, to make us think she wants to have sex with us and has had plenty of practice at it. It’s her job, between movies, to encourage us to want to have sex with her so we buy tickets to her movies. She’s a stunningly gorgeous woman who men and women alike (not all of us, but lots of us) find incredibly sexy, so she’s played that up to get our money into the pockets of the studios she works for.
Has anyone considered that maybe she’s not a slut, she’s a tease? A well-played, famous, professional tease?
In other words, she’s misrepresenting her sex life?
Isn’t that what I said in the OP?
[QUOTE=Kalhoun]
I had a friend who didn’t count blow jobs as sex (or cheating!). If it wasn’t penetration, it wasn’t sex. Maybe Angie is of the same notion?
Was it Bill from Washington D.C.? I heard this guy at the sex addicts anonymous meeting.
No.

That’s the opposite of what I said.
