Angelina's Not Just American Any More

Hollywood Star Angelina Jolie is Cambodian citizen

The King of Cambodia signed a decree granting Angelina Jolie Cambodian citizenship in recognition of her environmental work there. How cool is that?

Although it does have legal ramifications, it's mainly an honorarium like British knighthood meant as a way for a country to express its gratification for special accomplishment. She's said in previous interviews that adopting Maddox changed her and changed her life, and this is another sign that those weren't just hollow words.

Congrats, Angelina!
