Even politicians can be hit with a bit of starstruck awe. While Angelina Jolie was filming in Albany, their mayor Jerry Jennings added meeting Angie to his list of things to do that day.
Mayor Jennings arrived on site where filming was taking place on the temporarily closed highway and asked if everything was going well, then mentioned that if it wasn’t going to inconvenience anyone, he’d love to take a moment to properly welcome Angelina to the area. Being as gracious as she always is, Angelina immediately came over to shake the mayor’s hand and to tell him that she had very much enjoyed her time in Albany.
She also invited the mayor to stick around and watch the remainder of the shooting. I’ll bet he would have enjoyed the opportunity but he had to decline since he had other commitments to attend to. However, Mayor Jennings did linger long enough to pose for a photo with Angelina, taken with his cell phone.
(Alas, the mayor has not contacted me with an offer to use his photo!)
All of that is interesting in and of itself, but here’s my favorite part of the article right here (emphasis mine):
He knew the actress was staying the night and suggested, if she needed anything, to let him know. She said “Brad (Pitt) was coming over and they were going to take it easy, stay in the hotel room and watch the fight,” referring to the Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton light-welterweight championship from Las Vegas, Jennings said.
I’m not interested in getting into all the awful tabloid headlines that are circulating YET AGAIN this week. Naturally, they’re swarming with alarming relationship “news”, most likely due to the fact that Brad flew to L.A. earlier to take in the Chris Cornell concert (Randi has a photo over here). If the tabloids were right, I highly doubt that Brad and Angelina would be hanging out and relaxing together if they were in the midst of high-profile relationship drama.
I love that the mayor took time out of his day to go meet Angelina Jolie!

This headlines have been going on for +4 years. I have read this same break’up stories in some cases with the same or very similar headlines in 2005, 2006, 2007and 2008.
If there’s anyone that still believes any of it, they need to get their heads examined.

Lee- I mostly agree with your statement. However, I think it’s a bit unfair to say that only people from California like JA and Oprah. There are certainly JA and Oprah fans from other parts of the U.S. and the rest of the world, not just California!
My own mother, for example, likes Oprah for the most part (although there are a few things Oprah does that she disagrees with), and my family doesn’t live in California!

Brangelina4Ever- It’s JON and Kate, not Tom and Kate, and Jon and the “other woman” have both denied the affair (plus Kate is clearly supporting Jon right now as well). Also Brad bought out JA’s share of Plan B either right after they divorced or just before their divorce was finialized.

Neela- LOL! That they are! What really makes me chuckle is when one tab says they’ve split, and another proclaims that they are getting married, adopting again, or that Angie is pregnant again. Obviously the tabs don’t bother to check with each other before writing “stories”!

I don’t understand why fans have to justify the tabloids, oh if Brad met Jen it is because they own Plan B together, oh, it is because they are friends……
If they were such great friends, how come they avoided each other at the oscars, why has Jennifer spent the last four years being passive aggressive towards Angelina with the “Uncool” and “consider the source” comments.
I guess the Joli-Pitts still going strong despite an orchestrated attempts by the tabloids to derail and ruin a family with six young children. I will never understand what it is about this family that threatens the tabloid and some section of the public, is it because Brad and Angelina has lasted longer when they only gave them a few months? Is it because of mixed racial nature of their family? Is it because Angelina has always refused to play the Hollywood game and in getting together with Brad has seemingly moved him away from the feckless, phony Hollywood life? I don’t know what it is but I am happy they have made it against all the odds.
Sherry thanks for keeping this site going and for staying positive, and also calming the jittery nerves of some Jolie-Pitt fans who probably have not been fans long enough to know that all these stories have been recycled for the last four years, the only difference is the ferocity and vileness of the attacks against Angelina.

Bunny- “If they were such great friends, how come they avoided each other at the oscars, why has Jennifer spent the last four years being passive aggressive towards Angelina with the “Uncool” and “consider the source” comments.”
Well, I can’t speak for everyone, but the reason I mentioned that they might meet from time to time because they are friends is because Brad himself has said that he mantains a “deep friendship” with JA. Granted, that was either last year or the year before, but he also said earlier this year (in the February issue of Vogue) that, basically, when someone has been a huge part of your life for seven years, you can’t just ignore that or erase that just because you get divorced.
JA has also stated that she and Brad remain on friendly terms. As for her comments on Angie…I really wouldn’t read to much into those. Brad was asked about the “uncool” comment in Vogue, and said that he feels she got “dragged into that one”. As for the “consider the source” one, I truly think that got taken way out of context.
It’s possible that she wasn’t referring to Angie at all, but to whatever media source published that particular interview of Angie’s.
Both Brad and JA have also mentioned that they still call each other from time to time, just to check in (and, in JA’s case, offering her congratulations on the births of Shi and the twins, and possibly Pax’s adoption as well).
Anyway, I wasn’t trying to “justify” the tabs. What I was trying to do is point out that I think the tabs are ridiculious and blow things way out of proportation.
All of that said, I agree with the rest of your comment! :)
