JOLIE: BE NICE OR I'LL SUE

From today's NY Post:

June 6, 2005 -- FIRST Amendment be damned! When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie say they don't want to get personal, they mean it. Both stars are making journos who interview them sign a contract to that effect and if you break it, Jolie will sue you.

The most interesting bit:

. . . The interview will not be used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning or derogatory to Ms. Jolie.

So, um, what if the interviewer were to say, for example, that Jolie's lips are, "beautiful, sexy, but they certainly verge on the comical."

Would that be disparaging?

Or if they said, "... to be honest I haven't been able to concentrate on her acting ever since she frenched her brother at the awards show all those years ago."

Would that be demeaning?

Or what if the journalists said, "Hey guys, let's all sign these agreements, and then let's all break them and see if she sues us all?"

That'd be in breach of contract.

Or what if they said, "Hey guys, as journalists it's sucks to be told what we can and can't ask... so wouldn't it be amazing if we all just sort of forgot to interview her? Gee, wouldn't it be an amazing coincidence if we all also 'forgot' to write about her new movie..."

That would be hella cool.

Hey, don't look at us, we didn't sign anything.
