She's got Brad under her spell. And most of the world. I don't know what it is but half the world is mad about her – it's like a collective madness fallen under the spell of hypnotic, twirly, psychedelic circles. That explains her passing out – must be the hard work, working your charms day and night. I'm talking about none other than good old Angelina Jolie. You know, the one with a strange collection of knives. As I recall, there was some bizarre story with a blood vial. And tattoos, did I tell you about the tattoos?  Nice build up, isn't it? This dreary description is just to keep a perspective on the current story. She's got lots of plus points, some of which I might even mention. I mean, she's an actress by day, UN ambassador on weekends, juggling a relationship with a high profile partner along with four kids. Give Angelina her very own Jolie-mobile, put her on the cover of Working Moms and we are sorted.Anyway, there's a rumor going around that Angelina Jolie passed out on the set of The Changeling. No, Clint Eastwood didn't creep up on her in one of his Western outfits ( although that would explain a lot, wouldn't it? Kinda like a real life manifestation of that guy from Courage the Cowardly Dog). When it becomes glaringly obvious that she's not offering any explanations, there is a sudden rush to come up with theories.  You know what I mean. Think of any instance where a celebrity has done something strange or controversial or outright shocking. Now filter through to incidents which lack statements by celebrities themselves. Anyone notice how everyone and anyone ( other than the people in question ) offers helpful explanations?Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing any of these theorists. In fact I am one of them, trying vainly to uncover the cause of this latest fainting spell. This is just me pointing out one of those instances that defy explanations. Back to fainting. At this point, I would pause and say “Hang on! Didn't her mother pass away sometime this year?”. Yea, maybe she is still grieving. Happens you know. Her brother did say, somewhere, that she was eating less whilst mourning. Yes, maybe that's it. Hang on! Didn't she have a a few fainting spells whilst shooting in October 2006? It was all everyone talked about – Angie passing out in Pune, shooting for A Might Heart too hectic, A Mighty Heart passes out, etc. etc. I suppose we would wonder whether her mother's illness was weighing her down. Wait, wasn't there a rare news article mentioning erratic eating habits? Nah, must be coincidence.  Speaking of last year ... I recall a great fuss beginning of last year about Angelina being pregnant and, surprise, surprise, passing out. Hmmm! I believe people brushed it off as hard work and tough pregnancy. I forget now, was there any mention of food or lack of it? I don't think baby blues is the cause for Mommy Tomb Raider's dizzy spells. After all, there was that utterly bizarre fainting spell in an LA airport in 2005? That's it, I'm outta theories for this one. For all of them for that matter. All explanations welcome. Preferably wacky ones involving gun slinging cowboys. |
