The pouty-lipped actress apologized for not only trying to prohibit Fox reporters, but also for not allowing anyone to ask personal questions and then blamed her overzealous lawyers when a public tumult arose.
"There was a memo that went out to ask people if they would sign it that said, 'Don't get into personal questions, focus on the movie,' and things like that . . . It was from my representative trying to be protective . . . but it was excessive, and I wouldn't have put it out there,” the New York Post quoted Jolie, as telling Jon Stewart.
But the actual picture, according to insiders was something else. Jolie had very carefully picked publications, which went with upping her image, and cast off entertainment weeklies, which she thought would stain her status.
Insiders have revealed that Jolie went on to outlaw some entertainment weeklies, including Us Weekly and Life & Style, from speaking to her at the film's premiere on June 15 at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The Tomb Raider star only agreed to allow admission to OK! and her trustworthy supporter, People magazine, which has been the caretaker of her positive publicity.
Over the past few years, People has reportedly paid Jolie millions for the rights to circulate photos of her and Brad Pitt's various kids and has build up a positive image for her.
"Angelina is a control freak. She knows everything that goes and is very hands-on. It's unbelievable to me that she wouldn't know exactly what was going on at all times,” the New York Post quoted an insider, as saying.
The insider also revealed that Jolie was infuriated when she found out that Pitt's mom visited her former daughter-in-law, Jennifer Aniston.
"Angelina really does not like Jennifer, even though Jen has not ever done anything to her and couldn't care less about her. She doesn't like that Brad's mom is still close with Jen and is threatened by that,” the insider said. (ANI)
