Angelina Jolie, art raider

Sep 20, 2006

Angelina Jolie doesn't just adopt malnourished children - she spends hundreds of thousands of dollars for weird art pieces of them.

Star magazine reports that the movie siren and mother of three - two adopted kids, one from Cambodia, one from Africa and a biological daughter named Shiloh - stopped by a Los Angeles warehouse and blew almost $400,000 on three pieces by in-your-face Brit artist Banksy.

A $226,000 painting - titled "Picnic" - depicts a white family of four merrily lunching under an umbrella on a red checked blanket while 15 starving Africans - including several children with distended bellies - look on.

A $75,000 purchase - a white bust with a bleeding bullet hole in the forehead - was a particular favorite of Jolie's. "She went nuts for that one," an onlooker told the mag. "She told [her baby daddy], 'I must have that one.'"

For another cool $75,000, she picked up a portrait of a man hit in the head with a custard pie.

Sweet? There's no accounting for taste.

Yes, and I don't even want to get started with her and Billy Bob Thorton

I think she would.She is a VERY strange actress.

Yup! she is weird.

but one thing i luv bout her is shes diff from the rest cuz she doesnt act stupid and all like paris and all

I think weird is sexy. That shot-in-the-head statue thing is cool, I would buy it...if I had money that is but since it costs that much I wouldn't waste all of that on it so, no, but it is cool I also thought the vials of blood were cool, or maybe its just cuz I'm weird? W/e

weird......AND sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if she is wierd, she is still sexy. I agree with Tino, She doens't act like the prep actresses/singers either, she is more mature.

Well, like one guy used to say,weirdness is a relative concept.
