Angelina Jolie gives stranded paparazzi a lift

I’m sorry, but I love this woman. I would consider sticking to my frigging Weight Watchers diet for her. I hate those Flex Points. Stupid things.
Okay, sorry…I just got mad there for a second. Here comes the nice story:
Celebrity photographer James Ambler (who works for the Splash News and Pictures) was continuing his routine of following the A Mighty Heart star around New York on his bike, when he suddenly ran over a nail and popped a flat on his two-wheeler.
Next thing he knew, Jolie’s car stopped and the driver asked Ambler if he wanted a ride.
The stunned shutterbug – whom Jolie as well as her kids had already nicknamed “Lance,” after cycling champ Lance Armstrong – then heard from Jolie herself, who said from the car, “Come on Lance, hop in.”
Inside the vehicle, Jolie told him she appreciated the space some of the photographers were giving her children, he said. Asked afterwards how much time he actually spent in the car with her, Ambler replied that he didn’t really know. “Time stood still,” he said.
And as for how he’d describe his hostess on wheels: “Really down to earth, really lovely,” says Ambler – who soon found himself in a brand new position: as the target of the paparazzi lenses, for having had a brush with fame.
