It seems that Angelina Jolie has launched an operation to fix her heavy-handed treatment of journalists attending the New York premiere of new film, ‘A Mighty Heart.’ After FoxNews.com reported that Jolie tried to forbid the Fox network from the red carpet of the new film and forced reporters to sign lengthy contracts before speaking with her, the actress has now blamed her advisers for her haughty behaviour.
The contracts, which reporters had to sign to catch a few sound bites from the actress, specified that the journos were not allowed to "ask Ms. Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships."
They also insisted, "The interview may only be used to promote the picture . . . The interview will not be used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning, or derogatory to Ms. Jolie."
But once the contract story broke, Jolie changed her course and swiftly went on a mission to save her image by talking frankly about wanting more children and helping a photographer who was following her.
She promoted her film on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" on June 14 and refuted that reporters were asked to sign any contracts.
"There was a memo that went out to ask people if they would sign it that said, `Don`t get into personal questions, focus on the movie,` and things like that... It was from my representative trying to be protective... but it was excessive, and I wouldn`t have put it out there,” the New York Post quoted Jolie, as telling Jon Stewart.
Jolie also tried to fix her virtuous image by giving James Ambler, a paparazzo who works for Splash and regularly follows the Jolie family on his bike, a lift in her car after he got a flat tire.
