Angelina Jolie is Better Than Most Celebrities

You may dislike her because she stole Jennifer Aniston’s man, but we have a message for all the haters: Get over it! That was five years ago! At this point, especially when compared to other stars in her industry, there should be nothing but positive things to say about Angelina Jolie. She donates millions to charity every year, she doesn’t seek out the paparazzi and she actually gets involved in important causes. The latest case in point: Jolie spent time in the Dominican Republic yesterday, visiting hospitalized survivors of the Haitian earthquake. She even met with Dominican President Leonel Fernandez. Today, meanwhile, the UN goodwill ambassador is off to Haiti itself, actually immersing herself in the destruction down there. Jolie doesn’t whine about the tabloid coverage of her relationship. She doesn’t Tweet about mundane happenings in her life. She even bypassed the Hope for Haiti Now telethon because she wasn’t interested in getting her face on TV. She simply wants to help. Anyone that takes issue with this actress should look in the mirror to see where the real problem lies.
