Angelina Jolie to Take a Year Off of Work


Soak up Angelina Jolie while you can – she’s about to take a year off work!

Angelina just told reporters in Cannes, France, that she’ll take a year off to spend time with her family.

While promoting “A Mighty Heart,” Angelina said, “I’m working this summer. I’m in Prague for a few months, then I take two months off, then I work for two months. And then I take a year off."

Angelina didn’t say whether or not her partner Brad Pitt would take 2008 off as well. While she told reporters the big news at the exclusive Hotel du Cap in France, Brad looked after the kiddies in a nearby villa.

Brad and Angie made their grand entrance on the red carpet Monday night past a frenzy of photographers trying to capture the world’s most beautiful couple hand-in-hand.

They arrived in Cannes for the world premiere of “A Mighty Heart,” in which Angelina stars as Mariane Pearl, whose journalist husband Daniel was captured and killed in Pakistan.

It was a difficult role for Angelina for many reasons, due in part because she got to know Mariane and her son Adam personally.

She has called the experience of making the film “haunting.”

But Angelina’s determination to portray her friend realistically and respectfully is paying off – flattering reviews are coming in from Cannes.

The Hollywood Reporter says Angelina delivers “a well-measured and moving performance” and is able to master Mariane’s difficult French and Cuban accent.

For now, Angie and her growing brood will remain on the French Riviera for a few more days while Brad promotes “Ocean’s 13.”

Always great to see the two of them out and doing their thing, doing what they have to do. They are perfect for each other. They like doing things for the needy. And there is a good reason to make it public so people be aware of the hard situations of other people in other places or countries that they saw.

Jolie does need to slow down. I know she won’t quit doing what interests her doing, but she needs to give herself attention. It looks like she’s carrying the “weight of the world” on her shoulder!

Good for her, although we have heard this before, I hope she really does it this time. She needs time to heal from her Mother’s death, marry Brad, have another child, and adopt that little girl she has been wanting. I hope she really does it this time.

I will miss Angelina on the big screen, but her and Brad have made it very well known that their family comes first.
