LIN DI LOO, Cambodia - While following Angelina Jolie to secure an appearance
on Cotolo Chronicles, reporters learned that Cambodia's king has declared actress
Angelina Jolie Queen of Cambodia for her conservation work in the
poverty-stricken country.

  |
King Norodom Sihamoni signed a royal decree making the Oscar-winning starlet and
daughter of John Voight, queen, said an official of the government who owns five
Rolls Royces. "She will parade before the starving people and give them money for
food as often as she wants," he said.
|
  |
Jolie gave a Cambodian development group $1.5 million for its environmental
protection efforts in remote parts of the country.
|
  |
"That will help to build tables and chairs for the poor people to sit when they
eat," said a Jolie spokesperson who owns two houses in Los Angeles, one which
she rents for $15,000 a month. "Now all we have to do it get food to put on the
tables."

  |
The king asked the new queen if she could get Mel Gibson to buy millions of ham
sandwiches that might be given to the poor population.
|
  |
And, he said, "Maybe dat boyfriend Pitt and udder men you loved, like Billy Joe,
could bring over soup and spoons, anything that will help my hungry people."
|
  |
During Jolie's most recent visit to Cambodia, Prime Minister Hun Sen had asked
if she would like to be queen in recognition of her generosity.
|
  |
"I would be honored, I think. I would certainly be thrilled as well as honored
as well as thrillingly honored and honorably thrilled," she told reporters. "I
am so comfortable in a country where the peoples' lips are as large as mine."
|
  |
The Cambodian Vision in Development's director expressed delight over the news.
"I will drink her bathwater for the honor of her being my queen and I know she
will get hundreds of Hollywood peoples to bring money and food and expensive
medical things here so that the king and me and others in the government do not
have to give up our cars and jewels and foreign bank accounts. This is what we
have dreamed for her for a long time."
