Council on Foreign Relations?
We always said foreign policy was sexy, and now here's proof:
Angelina Jolie is on the shortlist to join the power wonks at the Council on Foreign Relations, the exclusive New York think tank. The actress was nominated by council member Trevor Neilson, her pal and adviser on political and global matters. "There is no better way for someone who is involved in international relations to build a deep understanding of these issues," he told us yesterday.
Jolie's bid, which required two other letters of recommendation, was approved by the membership committee last week and is now "under consideration," said council spokeswoman Anya Schmemann. If she's voted in at the June board meeting, the 31-year-old Jolie will receive a five-year "term" membership (typical for younger applicants) and join 4,000 deep thinkers such as Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, George Soros, Barbara Walters and Lisa Ling.
