Line 34:
Since taking on her goodwill ambassador duties, Jolie has on numerous occasions made public statements that she wants to quit acting and concentrate on her UN work (for example, see ''Ireland On-Line'' in June 2005 [http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=145628738&p=y456z9444]). However, she has also stated that her work provides the income necessary for her to continue travelling the world on behalf of the UN.
Jolie continues to balance the demands of being a movie star with that of being a humanitarian, despite an apparently grueling schedule. On [[June 7]], 2005, the [[Associated Press]] wire service reported on Jolie giving a presentation in [[Islamabad]], [[Pakistan]]. That very same day, she attended the premiere of ''Mr. & Mrs. Smith'' in [[Los Angeles]]. She now lives full-time in [[Buckinghamshire]], [[England]], and owns property in [[Cambodia]],which she had to have demined. Angelina Jolie spent the new year of 2005 by going abroad to film a documentary called "A Moment in the World." She called on several actors and actresses to film in various locations around the world at the same time for three minutes. This was done in order to capture random moments that are happening across the world at the same time. The release date for the documentary is not yet known...
In late June 2005, the ''[[New York Post]]'' reported a claim that Jolie is pregnant, a report republished on [[June 30]] by Britain's [[Sky TV]], [[Sun Media Corporation]] in [[Canada]], and the [[Asia|Asian]] ''[[Hindustan Times]]'', among others. Her publicists presently deny this report. On [[July 5]], 2005, [[People magazine]] reported that Jolie was in the final stages of adopting a baby girl, who was orphaned by AIDS, from [[Ethiopia]], through the agency [[Wide Horizons for Children]]. Jolie has named her daughter Zahara Marley Jolie. A woman in London has been claiming she is Zahara's birth mother since August of 2005. There has been no legal development regarding this claim. Ms. Jolie has contacted a lawyer in London to look into the matter. Earlier in the summer another woman came foward claiming to be the grandmother of Zahara. That claim too proved to be false. On September 28th 2005 while making an appearance to discuse American's financial involvment with fighting AIDS globally on CNN's "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer Jolie stated that her daughter is a "AIDS orphan." By that she means her birth mother died from the disease but her daughter does not have the disease. The birth father of Zahara is not known. Her statement made it clear that the birth mother is indeed dead. In late October of 2005 a Ethiopian judge ruled that there is no evidence to suggest that Ms. Jolie would have to file for re-adoption of her daughter Zahara Marley Jolie. The judge ruled that the woman claiming to be her mother is not the birth mother.
