The Great Ganesha

A certain A. Lane from the New Yorker has brutally and frankly broken it down for all of us and showed us the six functions of Jolie, Inc.

Ms. Jolie is now more of a brand than a person, and she comes in six flavors:

1. The celebrity.
2. The sexpot.
3. The Brad handler.
4. The mother.
5. The world saver.
6. Oh yes, the actress.

He talks about Jolie in a review of ‘A Mighty Heart’. And in doing so, he has yet again proved his adroitness at turning the lowly film review into a full-fledged Art Form. Here’s the unabridged version of #4:

4. The mother. Official estimates as to how many children Jolie now possesses, and from how many continents, change on a weekly basis. When not giving birth herself, she likes to order in. How this has affected Mr. Pitt is unclear, but his expression is sometimes that of a man who stepped out to hail a cab and got run over by a fleet of trucks. [link]
