hacked e-mail the sony exec called angelina jolie a spoiled brat. i want to start with you. let's talk about the sleel implyifications. talking about secrets and movie scripts that are supposed to be secrets revealed. >> i certainly think it's theft. there has been speculation that it could be deaf nation or libel claim. but along those lines i don't think it's defamation or libel. the seasonal issue is the theft of the actual material. >> what about you? you talk about angelina jolie being called a spoiled brat. goes on to talk about how big of an ego that she has. do the actors or actresses have any legal resource? >> liable is the untrue publication of something that is designed or does harm someone's reputation. in this case, being called a spoiled brat doesn't harm your reputation. they are subject to a much stricter legal standard. the actions have to be malici s malicious, knowingly untrue. if angelina jolie cannot handle being called a spoiled brat she needs thicker skin. so no, do i think that there is an tactual legal claim? no, probably not. >> sonny is saying with ear the v

business. then there are other things that are just gossip. angelina jolie being called a spoiled brat is interesting. but it is closer to gossip than it is to news. we've seen gossip websites take the lead on reporting about that. but it trickles up to the cnns and the others of the world. >> i'm not surprised they speak about people in terms of as being products. personalities are commodities in hollywood. >> i think angelina jolie knows that some of the bosses don't like her. i don't think that's a surprise to her. i think it's only a surprise to us now that we can read about it. >> just makes you wonder, if it happened -- >> that's what the folks at sony say. god forbid if it happened to your media company. and the lawyer says it's a step in their direction of being on the offense. >> you mentioned this mega lawyer that sony's hired. this is sort of like a lesson to others that people need to start thinking, this truly could happen here or elsewhere, "the new york times," your former employer -- how do we protect ourselves? >> it opens up questions about how journalists are ca

. look at this picture right here. angelina jolie face-to-face with amy pascel, two days after amy described her as a minimally talented spoiled brat. we know this because somebody hacked amy's e-mail accounts. some of them caddy, others much more embarrassing. you've got to wonder what that exchange was about. the big question remains, who did it? who was the hacker in who broke into some hollywood big shots' e-mails? some people think it's the north koreans and until we find out, the apologies are flying. hollywood's elite have been rubbing elbows with president obama for years, making millions in fundraising dollars for him, now a major plot twist. one of hollywood's biggest players, sony exec pascal's e-mail's made public. insinuating that obama only likes movies with black actors, like "django unchained." she wrote, "should i ask him if he liked django"? "12 years, rudin responded. the hacked e-mails are not an accurate reflection of who i am. i take full responsibility for what i wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended. this was an unprecedented breach also revealing

. thank you both for showing us those pictures. >>> let me move on. angelina jolie comes face to face with sony pictures executive whose private e-mails were hacked and leaked and in one of these e-mails not that she sent but one she received described jolie as a minimally talented spoiled brat. the awkward moment between them captured. we'll talk about that next. and for many, it's a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine, loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important sid

dirty laundry being aired after the huge hack attack, including nasty comments about actors angelina jolie. in leaks, co-chair amy pascal, super producer scott ruden call jolie a quote minimally talented spoiled brat with a rampaging ego. he was angry at the oscar winner after she reportedly tried to poach director david fincher, you know we got to discuss this. brian stelter will join us to discuss. >> you're in the going do stand for letting someone insult angelina jolie. >> don't project on to me your fascination with a particular person. >> yeah, that's actually me that i'm talking about. i can't wait for that discussion. we have to get to "inside politics" with john king. hi, john. >> alisyn, chris, michaela, good morning to you. this is the day the government is supposed to run out of money. will the congress keep the government up and running? let's go inside application with me to share reporting and insight, "the atlantic"'s molly ball and tamara keith. from npr. this is the deadline for the budget. conservatives are angry, they say the republicans just won an election in wh

stolen correspondence. have i three examples in mind. the first is that it was reported that angelina jolie was defamed by someone relative to her talent. i'm sure you and i would agree that's a matter of gossip. that should not have entered the public lexicon. but what of the two other examples. the racially tinged e-mails, is there an argument that says if they are about the head of a big corporation, you've got to publish that. what about the report that came out this week that at the state department they viewed this movie in the summer and quote unquote cleared it. when there are matters of public concern but we know about them only because they were in stolen e-mails, should we in the media discuss them? >> anybody who says they have a text book answer to your question i think is either lying or delusional. these are never decided -- these are never decided in broad categories. i think the examples you gave are telling. donald sterling was strip of the clippers ownership because a girlfriend of his i believe i'm right, taped a phone call. chris rock -- chris rock, who is emergin

angelina jolie greeting or not greeting the sony chief i was just talking about. this was after the revelation of an e-mail between pascal and rudin in which amy pascal called jolie an immature brat. with me now to discuss all of that, andrew wallenstein and cnn's own don lemon. don, usually you're interviewing me. i'm interested in hearing your reaction to those e-mails i was reading talking about president obama all referring to films with african-american themes. >> i didn't find it funny, obviously. i hate to call people's actions racist. they were certainly racially insensitive and i think it really makes the point of what chris rock has said about hollywood when he wrote the essay saying hollywood is a white industry and has a racial problem. it certainly does. and this highlights it. >> we see documentary evidence of it in a way we rarely see? >> right. think about those antiquated conversations that they were having. you would think that was back in the 1930s or '40 or '50s when people would talk in that manner. >> what is the fallout in hollywood? >> it's just amazing. and

hitters really think about a-list stars including angelina jolie who was described by an oscar-winning producer as a, quote, minimally talented spoiled brat. i disagree with that. she's very talented. let's bring in pamela brown to dig deeper into the emails and the investigation into who leaked them. >> these are pretty scathing email exchanges. >> not nice. >> not nice at all. >> surprising for hollywood. >> sure to put some strain on relationships in hollywood. in fact, this mega hack of sony's computer system is seen to be unprecedented and bigger and more damaging than previously realized and in fact today the fbi is at sony headquarters meeting with employees and training them on how to protect themselves. today fbi agents are meeting with thousands of sony employees training them on how to protect themselves from fraud after their personal information was leaked into the public domain including their bank information and social security numbers. >> i think it's a very scary trend and it's something that organizations, which have sensitive information, have to be very con

this was merely a story about catty comments concerning angelina jolie it was hollywood gossip, but now it is not. now it is a full frontal assault on the way the west leads its life. >> joe es yi's point about the liability, let's just say for talking purposes sony did not capitulate, they opened the theater and there was an attack, would they have been liable? because perhaps the best practice wasn't followed? they had a warning and they chose not to follow it. >> that's always the issue. there's a law that says the risk perceived is the duty defined. what does that mean? it means you're on notice of a risk. what is that risk? there will be chaos, terrorism, that there will be destruction, and so therefore, if the risk perceived, we perceive it, is the duty defined. what's your duty, to keep people safe, ensure that no one go es into harm's way and if they do go into harm's way you better believe lawyers are going to be suing because of the fact that people are -- >> more dangerous than driving a car to the theater than to see the movie. >> you don't know that. >> we don't know th

"we shouldn't be participated and the sites disseminating them, should stop but they don't. and we should stop reading them. we won't. it's more of an indictment on us, i think. these are celebrities and executives that people want to know about. >> i often confuse you with brad pitt -- >> that's not the first time i've heard that. >> is sony talking about what it's going to do with this film that may have spawned this whole mess? >> it's still coming out on christmas day. no plans to scrap that. they've already had the premiere in hollywood. we haven't seen as many press interviews. maybe they'll be careful about what they say on the red carpet. but the movie is coming ut. >> i learned today it is not being released in japan. that's interesting. brian, always great to have you with us. check out cnnmoney.com. a that's all for us.

box office wins for actress angelina jolie. so let's go to these movies. i have to admit, i have not seen any of those. so fill us in. why do you think those are hits? >> well, i think that you might not be in the demographic for "guardians of the galaxy," but it was a huge triumph because it was a movie that was best described as quirky and it made nearly 800 million dollars at the box office worldwide. it was a big gamble and it did extremely well. and then you have "fault in our stars" which is a movie that cost $12 million to make which is nothing by hollywood standards and it went on to make more than 300 million dolla$300. this is a movie almost entirely driven by teenage girls, and they really showed their strength at the box office. and then "boyhood" is a movie that -- you know, it took 12 years to make this movie. the director, he shot it over a 12-year period with the same cast. and it's sort of quietly becoming i think the frontrunner for the academy award for best picture. >> yeah, there's been so much buzz about that. and other movies. it's always fun to see the underdo

seriously. our second offering we recently sat down with angelina jolie, different situation, directing a movie called "unbroken." this is one of the greatest survival stories ever told. louie zamarini a world war ii p.o. with w., survived a record 47 days in iraq. he was captured by the japanese two and a half years surviving some of the worst abuse anyone could endure and she decides to take on this, it winds up being her choices what to tell and what not become about her in a way nothing else she's ever done is like that. we talk to her about it, take a look at it. the idea of surviving what's difficult. you've done it in your own life, you take on the big scene. that's the fear of everybody and the key to survival, right, is knowing that you can do it. do you hope that that comes out of that, that whatever someone's struggle is, if they're dealing with what you dealt with with your help they see it's possible. >> yes. it's not an accident that i was preparing, i had all my boards up, and i was preparing to direct the film when i made the choice to have my surgery. not an
