Angelina Jolie in Iraq

Hello! I'm Kristin Volk in for Rebecca Field on this Wednesday, the 29 day of August 2007 with a UPI Entertainment Update.

Actress Angelina Jolie is in Iraq to reportedly witness the humanitarian crisis there firsthand. Jolie met with 12 hundred refugees yesterday who are supposedly camped out in a makeshift outpost at the border because they're unable to leave the country. The actress says her goal is to highlight the troubles of those uprooted by the war in Iraq.

The Boss is reuniting with the E Street Band. Bruce Springsteen and the band will tour North America and Europe in support of their new albums called "Magic." That tour begins next month in Connecticut. Springsteen says this won't be his last with E Street, which hasn't been on the road with him since 2004. He says he envisions the band carrying on for many more years.

The daughter of the late Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin now has her own clothing line. Bindi Irwin's line called "Clothing with Conscience" is geared to infants to ten year olds. Profits from sales go to environmental causes. The nine-year-old says she hopes to break into the U.S.'s $34 billion a year children's clothing market. Her line was previously only on sale at the Australia zoo.

Musical artist Bo Diddley is in stable condition at a Florida hospital after suffering a heart attack yesterday. The 78-year-old singer-guitarist apparently complained of dizziness and nausea during a routine medical checkup last week. His publicist says he's conscious, but the situation is very serious. Diddley was inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twenty years ago.

Actress Bridget Moynahan says she's thankful for a healthy baby and excited about being a mother. The thirty-six year old welcomed a boy last week. The father, ex-boyfriend and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was there for the delivery. Moynahan says she's very pleased he was able to skip practice to be there and spend a few days with their child. The couple split in December after a three-year relationship.

That's all for now. Thanks for watching today's entertainment update and join us tomorrow for more news.

I would recommend checking for yourself. After all I could be wrong, or even lying. Why not search youtube for " Angelina Jolie + Iraq " ?

[bamboo555]

didn't say anything about troops and her on this, which one you talking about?

[queny2]

Gosh there are clips of Jolie dining with the troops sprouting up everywhere, with comment bans or what we might call "instant moderation" -deletions of anything questioning. Whatever she though she was doing, she is now just Bushes poster girl for the endless occupation of Iraq.
