Angelina Jolie got a bitter taste of the other side of her celebrity fame this week. She was roundly criticized for her snub of E! TV and Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the Golden Globes. She appears on covers of entertainment weekly magazines opposite Brad Pitt ex Jennifer Aniston and comparisons of the two actresses and 'insider' details of secret meetings are revealed.

Her words are actually listened to and scrutinized. When she berates Madonna's adoption, Angelina catches heat and is forced to backtrack. Us Weekly even asked the question online: Do you think there's a growing backlash against Angelina? And a whopping 78% answered yes.

One big reason - she is again speaking her mind. When the actress calls tells Elle UK, “I think I feel so much more for Madd and Zee because they’re survivors, they came through so much. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to feel for her...I met my other kids when they were 6 months old, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this...Yes, a blob," she catches criticism for her words.
So - what's a uber-rich celebrity to do when the heat gets turned up by the entertainment media? Flee the country. According to Contact Music UK the sultry actress does not mind leaving America at all to avoid the Jennifer Aniston comparisons in the media and says, "I'm frustrated that's what sells. Fortunately, I don't read those magazines and I travel to a lot of countries where they don't exist. You can't take any of it seriously."

The article notes that Jolie is happy to spend her time helping the poor in the developing world - because it keeps her away from those same weekly entertainment magazines with her face on the cover and is it gives her an added reason to steer clear of the US.
