Brad and Angelina are the picture of happiness

You gotta wonder if the editors of the supermarket tabloids that cook up stupid stories about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie feel any remorse.

The headlines for years now have this movie star couple breaking up and all the rest (and they still manage to drag poor Jennifer Aniston into it much of the time).

Maybe the real story just isn’t interesting enough: This pair are the proud parents of six children, they try and use their fame for good causes both domestically and internationally and they focus on each one making one good movie per year.

Angelina is the star of the new action flick Salt and last night the film had a big, splashy at Hollywood’s Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Also in attendance were Angelina’s brother, James Haven, and their formerly estranged father Jon Voight.

I’ll tell you why I’ve always had a lot of respect for Angelina: About six years ago at the very same theater, the premiere of Alexander was held. It was a terrible movie directed by Oliver Stone and also starred Colin Farrell, Jared Leto and Val Kilmer. Everyone knew it was bad and after sitting through this three hour disaster, we could not wait to get to the after-party at the Roosevelt Hotel across the street.

Stone, Farrell and others briefly appeared by soon were gone but Angelina stayed and shook every hand, posed for every picture and was the epitome of a movie star.

I never forgot her professionalism that night and thought it said everything about her.
