Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, who recently discussed her past drug addiction on 60 Minutes, lights up the Dec. 12, 2011 cover of Newsweek.

In the issue, Jolie, 36, talks about her new war drama In the Land of Blood and Honey and her decade-long work as a United Nations ambassador.

Drug Abuse, Depression & Suicidal Thoughts

In her teens and early twenties, Angelina admits she was self-destructive, experimenting with drugs and going through bouts of severe depression.

“I knew little about the world and I was completely self-absorbed,” says Jolie.

Angelina has openly spoken of her teenage self-loathing, which led to cutting herself with knives, her fascination with death (and even considered a career as a funeral director), thoughts of suicide, and undefined feelings of frustration.

Looking back on this period in 2003, she explained:

“I used to think I was unstable, because I had this thirst for something. I could never figure out what it was.

I couldn’t sleep at night, and I always wanted to be somewhere else, and I have a window tattooed, this little box, and it’s because wherever I was, I wanted to be somewhere else. And I always saw myself — wherever I was in life — staring out the window.”

In 2001, Jolie was named the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).

‘Humanitarian Work Has Made Me a Better Person’

Since then, she has visited UNHCR refugee operations in the Balkans, Sierra Leone, Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan and Ecuador. The experience completely changed her outlook.

“I’ve become a better human being,” Jolie has said. “I’ve learned the strength of the human spirit.

Angelina, who’s set to make her directorial debut in the drama In the Land of Blood and Honey, still has an edgy side, but having a happy home life has curbed it.

“I’m still a bad girl,” she says. “I still have that side of me. It’s just in its place now. It belongs to Brad…or our adventures.”

It looks like Angelina Jolie might need to brush up on her copyright knowledge.

The actress is being sued by a Croatian journalist who claims the 36-year-old stole the storyline behind her upcoming movie and screenwriting debut, “In the Land of Blood and Honey.”

In documents filed in federal court and obtained by RadarOnline.com, journalist and author James J. Braddock is accusing the Oscar winner of swiping the film’s plot from an article he wrote in 2007.

The movie, written and directed by Jolie, tells the fictionalized love story between a Serbian soldier and a Muslim woman who become separated by the 1992 Bosnian War.

It’s a story that sounds all too familiar to Braddock, who is asking for a jury trial to award him damages.

“The Subject Work’s main female character is subject to continuous abuse and rape by soldiers and officers in the camp,” the lawsuit states. “In addition to being raped continuously by soldiers and officers, she is forced to become a servant at the camp headquarters, a duty assumed by very few of the captives.”

“The Motion Picture’s main female character is also subject to continuous rape by soldiers and officers in the camp and subsequently becomes a servant at camp headquarters,” the lawsuit continues.

The journalist also named GK Films, the Los Angeles-based production company that financed the film, in the suit.

Oscar-winning actress will attend the screening, which sheds light on the Bosnian War Organization has been operating in the region since 1993

Women for Women International announced today they are partnering with the Council on Foreign Relations to co-host Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie’s new film, “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” on Monday, December 5 in New York City.

Women for Women International, which was founded because of the Bosnian War in 1993 and the rape of over 20,000 women there, is an organization dedicated to helping women of all ethnicities who’ve been affected by war to rebuild their lives. Fittingly, the first office they opened was in war-torn Bosnia and Herzegovina back in 1994, and the organization has since expanded their work into seven other countries of conflict including Afghanistan, Iraq and Congo. Women for Women International Founder Zainab Salbi said, “It’s ironic after nearly two decades of working in war-torn countries as we are in Congo, rape is still a fundamental issue. It’s time this stopped once and for all, and we’re glad ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’ brings light back to this hugely important issue. It reminds the world about the atrocities women face in war and that we are a long way from stopping these atrocities.” Read the rest of this entry…

Angelina Jolie says her next film will be a war drama set in the conflict in Afghanistan.

The Hollywood star recently unveiled her directorial debut In The Land of Blood and Honey, a romance set in the midst of the Bosnian war. Now Jolie says she wants her next film to tackle an even more modern military conflict.

Though details are scarce, CBS News reports that Jolie confirmed during an interview that she plans to turn her focus on to Afghanistan once Blood and Honey has been released.

Jolie has a history with the troubled country. According to The Playlist, Jolie spent time talking to Afghan refugees back in 2001 as the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees.

The actress visited Afghanistan in 2008 as part of her ongoing dedication to humanitarian causes.

No word yet on the story Jolie plans to tell with her next film, though if Blood and Honey is any indication, it will likely make an effort to humanize the war by focusing on the stories of those most affected.

Jolie tells CBS she’d love to continue directing as she enjoys it more than acting.

“I loved having the spotlight on somebody else,” she says. “And I would much prefer it.”

Much will depend, no doubt, on the response to In The Land of Blood and Honey when it opens in select theatres on December 23 and everywhere later in 2012.
