Angelina Jolie's weight confession
An
gelina Jolie has revealed her mother's death triggered her dramatic weight loss.
The actress lost her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, to ovarian cancer in January and has since become noticeably thinner. Angelina confessed at the New York premiere of her new film 'A Mighty Heart' on Wednesday (13.06.07): "I've always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I've gone through a lot. "I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding - it's been hard to get my nutrition back on track."
The 32-year-old insists her weight loss is not something she is proud of. She added: "Instead of people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally, they assume it's because I want to fit into skinny jeans. "Someone saying to me that I'm thin is not a compliment."

Angelina Joile Bans FOX and Others From Premiere
For the red carpet premiere of "The Mighty Heart" , her lawyer required all journalists to sign a contract before talking to her and she instructed publicists at first to ban FOX News from the premiere. Ironically, last night's premiere of the excellent Michael Winterbottom-directed film was meant to support an organization called Reporters Without Borders. Jolie, however, did everything she could to clamp down on the press and control it. Yesterday, reporters from most major media outlets balked when they were presented with an agreement drawn up by Jolie's Hollywood lawyer Robert Offer. The contract closely dictated the terms of all interviews. Reporters were asked to agree to "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 agreement also required that "the interview may only be used to promote the Picture. In no event may Interviewer or Media Outlet 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 that wasn't enough, Jolie also requires that if any of these things happen, "the tape of the interview will not be released to Interviewer." Such a violation, the signatory thus agrees, would "cause Jolie irreparable harm" and make it possible for her to sue the interviewer and seek a restraining order. I am told that USA Today and the Associated Press were among those that canceled interviews, and eventually Jolie scotched all print interviews when she heard the reaction.

Angelina Jolie has been showing her glamorous side lately – walking the carpets from Cannes to Tinseltown – but Thursday she was honored for her philanthropic work by joining the Council on Foreign Relations, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
