Angelina Jolie : Unauthorized Biography Paints Troubled Childhood

************************Angelina  & four of  her Beautiful   Children****

           ********************************ANGELINA****************************
Angelina Jolie has lived a life of contradictions. Now a goodwill ambassador and one of the world's most celebrated actress, she's blessed with six beautiful children ( and one Brad Pitt ) , but she was once also a herion addict from a shattered home who went on to steal other women's husbands. This - and so much more - according to the forthcoming bomb-shell tell-all about the actress , 'Angelina : An Unauthorized Biography,' by the mater of such celebrity dirt-fests, Andrew Morton.
Leaks excerpts from the book are fueling so much hype that the publisher St. Martin's Press has moved up it's release date from August 3 to July 31, says USA Today. Critics cite lurid details of the 35-year-old star's childhood as the most compelling morsels  Mortom throws his readers.
An affair Jolie's famous father  Jon Voight had with starlet Stacey Pickren when Jolie was only a few months old tore apart her family life and set her on a path of teenage rebellion, according to the book.
Her mother Marcheline Bertrand moved out of the posh Beverly Hills high-rise where baby Angelina lived with her dad and was taken care of by nannies. A bitter  Bertrand rarely came to see her daughter during the first year of her life because Jolie reminded her too much of her philandering husband, Morton says.
"She separeted herself from that child because she looked a lot like Jon," he writes.
The author traces Jolie's battle with heroin, cocaine and anorexia during her teens and early 20's, her bisexuality, the loss of her virinity at age 14 to a boy named Anton - whom her mother  let move into their house - and her addictive romantic relationships with men and women.
Morton outlines her marriages to Jonny Lee Miller ( whom, he says was cheating on her with an old girlfriend  and later with an actor  Timothy Hutton ) and to Billy Bob Thornton ( whom she clung to as she struggled to get clean ) . Just before she and Thornton tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2000, her mother checked her into the Neuropsychiatric Institute at UCLA for three days.
"In her heightened state, struggling to stay off heroin and wrestling her addiction to  Billy Bob , Angie went to pieces ,"  Morton said.
The 46-year-old Pitt, described as a " bit of a stoner" and Mr. Mom," is characterized  by Morton as someone the  "Salt" actress had set her sights on long before she buried her claws into him on the set of  'Mr. and Mrs. Smith.'
The actor "was one of the triumvirate of  men - the other two were Johnny Depp and William Dafoe - whom Angie had watched and wondered about from afar," says Morton.
And Pitt was equally enthralled. "The corn fed boy was toast," claims Morton. Jolie "came across as a strange exotic wanting to save the world's underclass  yet fil her life with children."
In spinning his version of Jolie's relationship with Pitt , the actress  is cast as the calculating , bewitching  villain who denies  any role in the collapse of his marriage . Before the  Aniston - Pitt union unreveled , Morton recounts a meeting between the two queens of  Hollywood.
"As Angie shook her hand , Jennifer could have been excused for wondering whether she was extending her long slim fingers in friendship or sizing up her next victim, like a hangman judging the length of rope needed for the drop," he writes.
But Jolie is also hailed as a heroine for her work for the U.N.  During her trip to Sierra  Leone  in that role, Morton says, the star  "insisted on paying her own way and on being treated like  everyone else."
The book hit's shelves on Saturday. Morton predicts that even Jolie , who has tried to divert attention away from it, will feel its impact.
"I think my biography of Jolie  will genuinely change the way people view her - and the way she sees herself," Morton tells   The Daily Times.
