The 50 Smartest People in Hollywood, Allegedly
ANOTHER day, another list. Angelina Jolie has made Entertainment Weekly’s The 50 Smartest People in Hollywood list, As Just Jared notes, Angelina Jolie is at 33.
Angelina, 32, is smart because… “she’s discovered the real value of fame. While keeping fanboys happy with films like Beowulf, she uses her celebrity superpowers for good. Continues to travel the globe as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador, the world media in tow, but this year she put her values on screen, too, delivering one of the best performances of her career as Mariane Pearl, widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl, in June’s A Mighty Heart.”
Angie also picked up the Good Penmanship Award because “she recently wrote for The Economist, alongside fellow contributors the Dalai Lama and French president Nicolas Sarkozy.”

Hey, Angelina is a great multi-tasker/multi-hyphenate, as are a lot of people who aren’t one-dimentional cartoon characters. Even comic book heroes have a lot of dimension nowadays. Angelina can be a great bad-ass (a la Samuel L. Jackson) on the side of good whether she’s shooting people dead, being a karate-kicking hot momma, proving the pen is mightier than the sword, mixing it up in the Economist and Council on Foreign Relations, meeting with refugees, our troops & the multi-national troops in Syria & Iraq, while giving an Oscar-worthy performance in A Mighty Heart. Can any of us say the same for ourselves? Hmm?
And if Jolie’s lips can bring world peace, bring it on! She only seems like she’s pouting because that’s the way her lips are naturally, you know - just like Jessica Rabbit wasn’t bad, she was just drawn that way. (I’d love to see Jolie play Jessica in a live action movie.)
