A different side of Jolie?…

When the tabloid-war for a spread of the new Pitt-Jolie twins gets rough, Angelina gets negotiating.

While planning the debut of summer photos and an interview, The NY Times reports that Jolie did more than simply seek the $14 million recieved for the prints - She was on a mission to ensure the public reputation of her family.

According to the deal offered by Ms.Jolie, the winning magazine was obliged to offer coverage that would not reflect negatively on her or her family.

Jolie also requested an “editorial plan,” giving the couple a blue-print of the potential spread’s layout.

The article continues:

She dictates terms to celebrity magazines…editors say, creating awkward situations for publications that try to abide by strict journalistic standards.

So, is she a publicity-shark or just a mama-bear protecting her young? Even while hounded by the press, the Pitt-Jolie’s don’t seem to be worried. “Ms. Jolie [handles her public image] with determination, a self-reliance and a degree of success that is particularly notable.”

Is Angelina interfering or ‘creating awkward situations’ with the press? How would you cover the story yet still stick to journalistic standards?
