A Word From The Wise

Angelina Jolie has a message for young stars: get over yourselves! That's what she says she learned after visiting Sierra Leone in 2001 -- it was that trip that inspired her to campaign for global humanitarian causes. "[I] realized how completely naive I was to think I had a difficult life," she tells Esquire magazine. "It was as if someone slapped me across the face and said, 'Oh, my God, you silly young woman from California, do you have any idea how difficult the world really is for so many people?' I got out of myself pretty quickly."

Hmmm, we know a few other silly young women from California who should take their next vacay to Sierra Leone...

You Say!
