Angelina Jolie's High-Carb Diet For 'Salt'

peoplestylewatch.com:

Angelina Jolie had to be in tip-top shape for her role as a kick-ass CIA agent on the run in the new action thriller Salt, opening today. So what did the stunning A-lister do to prepare for the demanding part? She ate about five small meals a day and stuck to a diet of 70% carbs and 30% protein--and actually avoided cardio--to help "put muscle on without losing weight," says trainer Simon Crane, who worked with the actress to get in top form for the film. On the hit list: No junk food, and alcohol only on weekends.

She looked horribly thin in the movie.

Let me guess, a toothpick and a tic tac? Nope that is the top models diet. Ok, how about this one, half a tic tac, and a snort of coke. Too close to the truth? Nope, that is Lindsey's diet, ok, how about this one. A gargle of mouthwash and no tic tac, but a sugar free breath mint chaser. Bulemics go to great lengths to cover up thier disease. No fan of Angie here. No talent and I am sick and tired of her parading her kids around like circus monkeys. There aught to be a law against fake parenting.

Saw it this afternoon, amazing. There were couple things they could have done differently with the plot (especially the ending) but she made me gasp several times with the plot twists. I'm impressed at the action packed sequences, and very unlike some typical action flicks and their predictable formulas. She keeps you guessing, just like Ms. Jolie herself. And as always, she's gorgeous, not as glamorous as Mr. & Mrs. Smith, but gorgeous nonetheless. Love you, A, keep 'em coming!

I recall someone who met Jolie in real life saying she looks surprisingly 'fragile'. The thin wrists and delicate hands, the sharp jaw line. These actresses are right 'on the edge'. I recall Julianne Moore say when she had to lose wieght for her 1995 (released) film 'Safe' all she had to do was drop 5-10 pounds before achieving that sickly emaciated skeleton look. Then very quickly had to gain it right back to begin filming "Vanya on 42nd street".

Julianne Moore looked emaciated again in The Kids Are Alright. So did the rest of the female cast.

[Rozanna]

That is disappointing to hear. Ms. Moore's talent speaks for itself. She doesn't need to become skeletal to prove her worth. It's an ugly requirement in Hollywood for women, and it seems to be holding strong.

This diet plan should not be reprinted. It is aimed at a very, very thin physique, not the average person or even the average athlete. this is a programme for a Victoria Secrets model or Kate Moss.

There's something almost pathological about the way people defend Angelina Jolie and apparently, if you don't share that pathology, you're a "hater".

[cinnamonlady]

06:32 PM on 07/25/2010

Ha, amazing isn't it! Bet you haven't seen much of that pathological behavior during your extra-terrestrial travels!

Yes, but typically only over soccer, or as it's known in the rest of the universe, futbol.

Remove "almost" from your comment, and you've hit the nail on the head, darling.

[mamacat]

I think Angelina has talent, but can't stand to watch her in action flicks any longer. After awhile, they all seem the same. Why doesn't she want to do something with an emotional story-line and some acting?
Please don't accuse me of hating her, I am just tired of the same old, same old.

[Mrs Yap Prat]

07:03 PM on 07/25/2010

Don't worry, dear, I won't accuse you of being a "h8ter," as the kids say. But I will accuse you of having good taste.

I said "on every thread". Obviously you can not comprehend.

I am hardly on any threads about Angelina Jolie. Now I can tell whoever I want to get a life. You can move right along if you don't like it.

[mew-too]

07:20 PM on 07/25/2010

Because Angie is in the old and wizened context a ham.

[sexyrexy]

how you wish that was actually true,huh?

bec it's not true.. otherwise, you won;t hate her soooo much..

duh.. who the hell are you kidding? the flea in your furry bits? matting your knickers?

A good box office showing in this season of bad movies is hardly something to brag about. Some of the indys look good though. I saw 'The Kids Are Alright' last night. Very good movie.

[Karama]

04:59 PM on 07/25/2010

The studios would disagree! The people behind Inception and Salt and the stars must be very happy and can brag. It's about making money.

[Afro Latina]

05:34 PM on 07/25/2010

Exactly!

The Angelina haters are just angry this movie didn't flop which many of them wanted it to. The only thing they can gloat about is that it didn't come in at number 1 but they fail to mention it brought in a good amount its opening week.

[Rozanna]

05:39 PM on 07/25/2010

Thanks for the tip, Alieninvader. I used to lover the movies and went often, but Hollywood is putting out mostly garbage these days.

you can say that again.. esp with THE BOUNTY HUNTER.. getting thus far the worse reviews in 2010.. ha.. 8% at ROTTEN TOMATOES?..

damn.. I know that's your gage for fine acting..

Another gnat on the windshield of life.

[veritas88]

06:53 PM on 07/25/2010

Shouldn't she be able to act? Isn't that the bare minimum for a professional actress, not some grand achievement? It's a fact that a high school theater kid and Meryl Streep can both act but there's a huge difference between the two.

[Afro Latina]

01:42 PM on 07/25/2010

Yes! Another blockbuster hit for Angelina!

'Salt' came in at #2 bringing in $36.5 million!!!!

[orianna]

02:38 PM on 07/25/2010

I might watch a believable female action flick if the star was young and athletic.

Jolie is aging badly, and her leather suits and waist girdle look so desperate. Come on America, you payed for voting for Bush... wake up to what trash the media is selling you!!!!

[Afro Latina]

02:46 PM on 07/25/2010

I really don't care whether you see it or not.

Many people enjoyed the movie and Angelina is aging just fine.

[cinnamonlady]

04:39 PM on 07/25/2010

Good point, orianna...alieninvader (up above) is posting along these very same lines.

The real treats are on HBO these days.

[veritas88]

Salt made $36.5 million in it's first weekend, against a film that's already been out for 2 weeks (Inception). For a $130M+ budget movie (Salt) to make $36.5 in it's 1st weekend is not great box office. Especially since it played in 3600+ theatres across the US. With the way percentages fall on a weekly basis, it's going to be difficult to make $100 mil in the US.

[Afro Latina]

07:08 PM on 07/25/2010

Actually the final budget was less than $110 million after tax credits etc. Plus the movie had a strong showing overseas even though it only opened in 17 small foreign markets this weekend. The movie will easily surpass that $110 million mark. Overall the movie is a success so far.

Every article I've read on 'Salt" has stated that it was a success. Just because you don't think it is doesn't make it a show.

In Russia for Salt.

Your hate is really showing.

This film was not lame & has gotten rave reviews. And it brought in a good amount & came in at number 2. I don't think Angelina or the producers of this movie care that it didn't top Inception. It brought in $36.5 it's opening weekend. That's a hit!

[Rozanna]

02:14 PM on 07/25/2010

Oh, I think they care a lot that it came in second! They did some exhaustive PR work to promote this movie,and the best it came in with was second. I did not notice that kind of exposure for any of the other films, including Inception, at least not on this site.

[sexyrexy]

05:39 PM on 07/25/2010

you do realize.. Inception is a SCI-FI film with tremendous special effects.whilt SALT IS JUST AN OLD FASHIONED POPCORN ACTION MOVIE..

to make $36 mil.. domestic for a female lead? THAT SAYS AN AWFUL LOT FOR JOLIE'S STAR POWER!

[microsoap]

12:34 PM on 07/25/2010

hahahahaha 'Inception' #1!!!!! Number... freakin'... ONE!

[Rozanna]

02:30 PM on 07/25/2010

And deservedly so. I liked the character played by Ellen Page, the voice of reason in the film. Very interesting casting.

[veritas88]

06:57 PM on 07/25/2010

I also loved her character's name. Ariadne. Isn't that a cool, unique name? I never heard it before. Also, I enjoyed looking at Joseph Gordon Levitt's body in the movie (particularly during the rotating hotel hall scene). That was an unexpected surprise :)

Jolie is okay in action but not the heavy stuff.

http://boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2668
Analysis: With Salt, Angelina Jolie is playing right in her wheelhouse. Since her rise to fame, the actress has found box office success in the action genre, but audiences have mostly ignored her in any other genre. Her exotic bad girl image has worked well in action hits like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider ($131.2 million), Mr. & Mrs. Smith ($186.3 million) and Wanted ($134.5 million), but has proved largely unrelatable in her other roles, ranging from the box office disaster Beyond Borders ($4.4 million) to the modest Changeling ($35.7 million).

12:53 PM on 07/25/2010

and if you dn'tget the point.. at least jolie tries to do low-budget serious type of films..unlike your sweetie who c annot even get off her tangent from lame rom coms..

a critic wrote whilst reviewing Boiunty Hunter.. Aniston hasn't improve a muscle in acting since her first film LEPHRACHAUN.. OUCH.. Although one could see she has made some enhancements(using a kind word here) to her looks since.

[mew-too]

01:08 PM on 07/25/2010

"My sweetie" as you so childishly allude to her, won critical acclaim for her low budget film, The Good Girl. Jolie was panned by the critics on all of her serious roles. As for Aniston's "tangent from lame rom coms" THEY PLAY VERY WELL AT THE BOX OFFICE..
