Angelina Jolie Escapes Kidnapping Plot
UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie, 31, admits to News of the World that authorities in a foreign country she won’t name uncovered an elaborate plan to abduct the starlet.
“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, “ Jolie confesses to the British paper. “I was warned at the last minute, and managed to escape, luckily.”
Jolie’s boyfriend, Brad Pitt, 43, has understandably expressed concern for the safety of their family, including children Maddox, 5, two-year old Zahara, and nine-month-old Shiloh.
“I don’t want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood,” Jolie tells News of the World. “But I want to help where there is poverty and destruction. I love Brad very much and on our trips we pull together as a team. Things only get difficult when it affects our children.”
That won’t stop the mother-on-a-mission from traveling to underprivileged, and often dangerous countries in an effort to fight injustice. Jolie became an ambassador for the UN in August 2001, and has since been to more than 20 countries around the world on their behalf.
Jolie and Pitt are currently in the process of expanding their family, and will adopt a toddler from Vietnam. Jolie credits motherhood with making her a better person. “It made me feel like a complete woman,” she says. “At times in my life I was lost, without a purpose, now I’m more grounded.”

I doubt this is real. She wouldn’t talk like that. I think that’s the birtish version of the national enquirer.
