Hollywood Stars Shut Down Media

How quickly they forget. During the campaign, bigtime movie stars yelled "Censorship!" whenever people threatened to not buy their albums or see their movings because of their foaming-mouth comments about the war and the president. That was then. Now, try this on for censorship:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ... are making journos who interview them sign a contract [prohibiting stories about their personal lives] and if you break it, Jolie [at least] will sue you. Her lawyer, Robert Offer, sent out a letter stating: "Interviewer will not ask Ms. Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships. In the event Interviewer does ask Ms. Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships, Ms. Jolie will have the right to immediately terminate the interview and leave. The interview may only be used to promote the Picture. In no event may Interviewer be entitled to run all or any portion of the Interview in connection with any other story . . . The interview will not be used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning or derogatory to Ms. Jolie." If an interviewer does not comply, he or she can be sued for an "undisclosed" amount, the document states. Pitt, meanwhile, noted in his contract with the journos that he's willing to talk about his charity work as well as the movie.

Remember that the next time you hear them making vile personal attacks on those who don't share their Hollyweird belief systems.
