Self-appointed savior of the universe Angelina Jolie claims she was the target of a kidnap plot while on her mission as a UN ambassador. Hmm...I wonder if there were aliens involved. Or maybe Jennifer Aniston. Anyway, here's what Angelina had to say about it:
It was in a small village. I won’t say where, or with whom, but some gangsters planned to kidnap me and extort a massive ransom. ... I was warned at the last minute, and managed to escape, luckily.
Yes, luckily - for the gangsters. Because if they had actually kidnapped you Angelina, I don't think it would've come out very well for them. I think there's a good chance you would've bitten them on the necks and left only corpses drained of blood. Or maybe you would've summoned the creatures of the night to descend upon them in a swarm. Or perhaps Billy Bob would've come and given them a taste of his blade (some folks call it a sling blade, he calls it a kaiser blade).
Of course, Angelina was not deterred by her brush with abduction. She remains completely committed to the cause of saving the world's children. Says Angelina:
I don’t want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood. But I want to help where there is poverty and destruction. ... It became clear to me [several years ago] that I was an incredibly well-off star, and that I had to do something against the screaming injustice on this planet. Not just by giving speeches, I had to be actively involved. Since then I’ve travelled half the world. I want to see the people there up close. I don’t shut myself off in some luxurious hotel.
Uh, you don't want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood Angelina? Then how come you keep going around like this?
