Angelina Jolie going into politics?

A “friend” of Angelina Jolie tells British tabloid the Daily Express that Angie is bored with Hollywood.

Jolie, who was recently named the world’s most powerful celebrity by Forbes magazine (she dethroned Oprah), has been a goodwill ambassador for the UN for almost 8 years.

Some might argue that Barack Obama is the world’s most powerful celebrity, but that’s beside the point.

The friend says of Jolie: “She is passionate about people’s rights, war and justice and thinks she can get more hands-on, and make even more of a difference by getting into politics. She admires Obama and thinks she could make a big difference too if she were in his position.”

Actors in politics certainly aren’t a new phenomenon – see Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Jolie will be turning 37 in 2012, so she would meet the age requirement.

Our suggestion: Replace the often poorly-spoken Joe Biden as VP with Jolie in 2012, with Jolie having an eye towards a presidential run in 2016.
