@SubvertAParadigm: "Undisclosed" is pretty standard PR language - with emphasis on 'UNDISCLOSED." It could mean 1% - 100%, so none of could say for sure, could we?

@FauxhemianDelight: Angelina Jolie is donating all of her fee to charities, most or all to the Maddox Jolie Foundation which she founded in 2003. Check out their mission & projects - you're free to think she's crass.
@FauxhemianDelight: hmm, the details are different but the overall treatment are the same - in the case of Angelina Jolie. Let's give everyone a break, shall we?
Just to be clcar, it's not just a Jolie ad, it's also been a Sally Ride, Catherine Deneuve, Mikhail Gorbachev, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell, Pele, Zinedine Zidane, Maradona, , Bono, Keith Richards, Sean Connery, etc. ad.
@addictedtopez: I think that what we have here is the old Paul Newman "failure to communicate." Let's leave it at that and not have another round because we'll just have to agree to disagree. My point is that Angelina does BOTH - donate DIRECTLY from her film earnings and donate her LV fee. IMO, it doesn't have to…
@lickitysplit: Isn't botox supposed to freeze your forehead so it doesn't move and it can't wrinkle, make those wave like lines across the forehead, and that "11" like thing between the eyebrows? I saw The Tourist and Salt and Angelina's forehead definitely moves.
@addictedtopez: And Angelina Jolie has done exactly that - donated MORE than $10 MILLION of her own money since 2001 to the UNHCR and other causes by herself and through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. Fine, you and others find it comical - it is for purists; the people who benefit from the donations and get clean water,…
LV's Core Values campaign recalls its roots as a travel company vs. designers purses/shoes. It's attracted people like Mikhail Gorbachev, Catherine Deneuve, Keith Richards, Sean Connery and Bono, among others to take part. The attraction is that the people can donate their fees to their causes.
@addictedtopez et al.:
@Snowbunny: It's useful to know that "elegantly weathered" is LV's official PR language.
@FauxhemianDelight: You're saying "bitch" in a good way, right? Isn't that the only way?
@junkbondtrader: Agreed on "chola." IMO and experience, best not use something/anything as 'hip slang' (for better lack of a phrase), unless I'm native-speaker of that specific language and know the different nuances and context. (And not pass it on to others who'll pass it on like the game of Telephone ending with…
@lazroy:
@Miss Jade: I haven't read the book, just the synopsis - but am sooo hopeful this will get made. Palpitations!!!
There's hope for you, Miss Jade. Angelina's first feature, In the Land of Blood and Honey, which she wrote and directed will be released Dec. 23. She is currently in the process of producing a movie about Churchill and Roosevelt - I don't know if there's a script yet. ;-)
@Rare Affinity: THIS.
THIS.
@ cookie monstress:
Agreed!!!
I was on a trip from Chicago to Oakland and saw a couple of young Asian American women who were really tiny, short, narrow-waisted with Angelina-arms. Same with a white woman in her early 30s with Angelina-legs and arms. I saw Angelina in person at Comic-Con 2002 (I was there for Star Wars) and have a Lara Croft…
