Angelina Jolie's Trip to Tunisia Incites Riot

By Sarah Crow Posted Apr 7th 2011 03:30PM

Angelina Jolie sure knows how to draw a crowd, but in some cases, that's not a good thing.

During a recent visit to Tunisia, so many people turned out to see the actress that many described the event as a "mini-riot."

An eyewitness said of madness surrounding Jolie's visit, "The people were beyond excited to see her. There were thousands of refugees screaming her name and chanting. The crowd was closing in on her and her security detail; it was intense."

The actress, who was in Tunisia to visit Libyan refugees at the Shusha refugee camp, had to cut her visit short due to safety concerns.

A source on the scene says, "When people found out Angelina was leaving early, they had mixed reaction. Some were upset but still enthusiastic to have her there. Angelina was forced to find shelter in a tent and she had to be protected by 30 military personal with machine guns. Angelina really took a risk by going all the way to the Libyan border."

Jolie is expected to fly from Tunisia to Paris shortly.

Thank you for posting to what they have contributed. I would only add that Brad helped develop safer housing in New Orleans at reasonable prices for folks whose homes were ruined. He was physically involved in the building, his money supported both the development efforts and the building. They are very giving people and I think the news media should focus more on what they have done then how they came to be a couple. Maybe that was God's plan in bringing them together. How about if we all put money/volunteer efforts toward helping others to the extent we can rather than casting stones at those who do.

ANGELINA & BRAD HELP MANY IN NEED WHERE EVER AND WHEN EVER THEY DECIDE. THATS THEIR BUSINESS NOT MINE AND WHO AM I TO JUDGE. I ONLY REGRET THE ATTENTION IT GETS. IT WOULD BE BETTER IF IT WERE POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN ANONYMOUS CONTRIBUTIONS SUCH AS BILL GATES ETC... WITHOUT THE REDICULOUS MEDIA ATTENTION. THE JOKE IS THAT THEY ARE GENUINE YET SOMEONE IS GETTING BIG BUCKS TO VIDEO THEM AND SELL THE PUBLICITY.

She has always been a strange and wierd person in my opinion. I also want to know why she doesnt adopt from the USA and not have to travel around the world to do it, our poor poor children here that need homes.........she is just insane and its no wonder her father doesnt have much to do with her!

By vermontpines

30 of our brave military had to stand around and protect a celebrity who brings nothing but her 'celebrity status' to the fracas. What a waste of our treasture!!

nobody should judge thats not our job...its Gods. i do think her work for the children of this world is great, she dosent have to do it. she could be out and about enjoying her fame yet she uses it for world good. when you people get of your azz and do something then talk about her.

John Voight should have mirrored the military action of Bush Sr in Iraq and pulled out ... If AJ didn't have lips that could suck the varnish off a barstool, she'd be dancing on a pole instead of being a ultra rich movie brat.

who cares about a woman who adopts from every country except US, she is of less interest than she believes to the public at this time.

By furrrball

i am really really surprised that she wasn't able to kick some serious butt! what with all her knife throwing and gun juggling, you would've thought she had them sorted. she is still going to see her behind without a mirror sometime - lest it be known that she is that stupid not to know it. arrogance is not the best trait to have when thinking you can dabble with lives. these people you must not play with - they r not toys!! roll on the cameras ...
