Celebrity Shocker
I truly believe that most people in Hollywood have gone crazy. I’m not sure what it is, but I think that most of the Hollywood celebrities out there are a little out of touch with reality. They tend to be very eccentric and completely on the opposite side of what I believe.
Then yesterday I was poking around the internet and I ran across this little gem. Apparently Angelina Jolie, despite being a touch weird at times, isn’t afraid to protect her kids and family. This is what she said in a recent interview with Vanity Fair:
“If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I’ve no problem shooting them.”
Apparently she has more guts, and values her and her kids life more, than say Elayne Boosler or Bill Maher. They both readily admitted one evening, on Maher’s Politically Incorrect television program, that they didn’t think they could shoot someone to protect themselves. It’s nice to see our lovely Ms. Jolie doesn’t have that problem. She even touched on the subject further:
“Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one. And yes, I’d be able to use it if I had to. I could handle myself. I think there are certain combat skills that would come out. I tend to want to throw an elbow.”
And then she even went further than that:
“There’s a side to me that people know is humanitarian, and there’s a side to me that’s a mommy. But there’s also the side that likes to get down and dirty and run and jump around and fire guns.”
So even if you weren’t an Angelina fan before you almost have to be one now after reading that. On a serious note it is good to see that someone isn’t afraid to stand up for themselves and have the guts to protect themselves and their kids. In today’s society I applaud Ms. Jolie for coming out and being truthful about what she feels and not falling into the politics of being a celebrity.
Very nice!

It is refreshing to hear a Mommy that knows how to use a gun admit that she would use one if she needed to - I would too and yes I have a gun in the house and yes I will use it - if my 100 pound black dog doesn’t get to you first.
Blessed,
That is funny. I always tell people that first they have to get through our German Shepherd and then they have to get past the gun.
They don’t have a chance. Oh, and my wife knows how to use the gun as well. She shoots it better than I do.
Even though I’m not a hunter, I grew up around guns and my Dad has taken me to the gun range. I would hope that I wouldn’t have a problem shooting an intruder.
I used to say the same thing..If you can get past my 160# Rot.. your the man..but to get past all my guns..YOUR IN A LOT OF TROUBLE! But now my Rot is 14 good luck on getting him off the floor!
I am in complete shock - I always thought Jolie was a whacko (I’m still not admitting she’s not) but this is a different side that I’d not heard about. Interesting. I’m still not too sure I care the slightest bit about celebrities’ lives, but it’s interesting none-the-less.
That’s cool, as long as she and Brad don’t go Mr. Mrs. Smith on each other!
Hot AND she likes to shoot guns. Somebody catch me…I’m falling…
I loved it when I heard this. Talk about standing out from the “hollywood in crowd”! Who knows, maybe brad and angelina will make guns fashionable, and take the targets from our backs…ok…I’m sure that is going to far…I’m not holding my breath for it
