Brad Pitt Shopping

Julia - I thought the Article was refreshing and gives a different spin on what was printed this past week, you know all those different stories with the bodyguards etc

moi jade…i totally agree with you. i think the idea would have been good in france, as that is a favourite way of giving birth over there. the water situation in africa is poor even in the richer areas, trust me i know! not nice you feel like to are dirtier after a bath! crazy. i think its cos they dont bleach the water like they do in the UK and i expect the US. its safe just not to drink, boiled its fine, bit funny tasting but thats the only way id use it. the water was really bad last year, my family lived in South Africa for 6 months. my little sister contracted a virus through bad water it really knocked her for 6! she only used the water for bathing and brushing her teeth, just goes to show it only takes a little. i must say in the UK/US i would have a water bath but not anywhere else.

Moi Jade! I was trying so hard to remember who was that BAMZ poster that was a midwife and that’s you! Thanks for the posting. Very informative. So, about the water situation, maybe they can use a whole lot of bottled water to fill the tub or at least boil the water from the tap first? Also, wouldn’t her obstetrician check for water integrity if they go that route?

Latest News from Namibia about Jolie/Pitt:olie, Pitt keep a low profile at Namibian resortBy Shashank BengaliKnight Ridder NewspapersThe cordoned-off Burning Shore bed & Breakfast, situated along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast where actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are staying.JOHN GROBLER, KRTThe cordoned-off Burning Shore bed & Breakfast, situated along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast where actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are staying.LANGSTRAND, Namibia - The retirees and German tourists who populate this quiet, seashell-strewn beach in southern Africa have lately seen - or at least heard about - an attractive new couple in the neighborhood.Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have rented out a 14-room lodge in this enclave of gaudy vacation homes on Namibia’s cool Atlantic coast, where Jolie is expected to give birth to their first child in the coming weeks.Since they arrived by chartered plane earlier this month, Pitt, Jolie and her two children have tried to keep a low profile. With a passel of security guards to keep curious locals and a handful of determined paparazzi at bay, the family has hopped around Namibia aboard three Cessna jets, sampling the country’s best safari parks and wildlife sanctuaries.Earlier this week, Pitt and Jolie were seen entering an upmarket jewelry store in Swakopmund, a breezy resort town to the north, prompting speculation that they’ll be married in Namibia, perhaps even this weekend.The latest rumors have the wedding taking place in a remote northern desert region called Kaokoland, which is practically inaccessible by car. The move could be to evade the media, or it could have a deeper significance: The region’s dominant tribe, the Himba, believes a woman should give birth before marriage to demonstrate her fertility.Namibia would be an unusual choice for a Hollywood wedding, to say the least. Its coastline is a vast desert fringed by beach, with a few well-ordered, German-speaking towns - remnants of the country’s colonial past - scattered along a flat, two-lane highway.But with its colossal sand dunes and rainbow-hued sunsets, Namibia offers a taste of Africa’s natural beauty without the travel hassles that are common in much of the rest of the continent. The roads are good, the climate is dry, and the resort towns - with their Teutonic restaurants and architecture - are pleasant, if a bit dull.The 30-year-old Jolie - an Oscar-winning actress who’s still better known for her looks - reportedly fell in love with Namibia after she spent several weeks here in 2002 for the filming of "Beyond Borders," a romance set against the backdrop of an African war.She has returned to the continent a few times, often in her role as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Last year, she adopted a daughter from Ethiopia named Zahara; she also has an adopted 4-year-old son, Maddox, from Cambodia.While filming "Beyond Borders," Jolie would stroll freely along Swakopmund’s palm tree-lined streets and drop in on shopkeepers with little fanfare."She once came into our office - she was just so dead normal," said Almuth Styles, the head of the regional tourism office.This trip has been different. The couple rarely ventures into town, and when they do, it’s with a security detail, which includes several ex-Namibian military officers. Earlier this week, on the road to Swakopmund, their caravan of SUVs played high-speed cat-and-mouse with a photographer from South Africa who was trailing them.With magazines offering as much as $5 million for a photo of the baby, paparazzi from Europe and Australia have descended on Langstrand, staking out vantage points in the windows of adjacent houses or behind palm trees a few hundred yards from the lodge.Most days, a burly, ruddy-faced member of the security team is stationed on the back lawn of the lodge, peering across the beach with a pair of binoculars. Last week, an Australian was sprayed with pepper spray when he photographed Pitt, 42, playing catch with Maddox on the lawn."Fight Club finally came to the beachfront," cackled South Africa’s Sunday Times, referring to one of Pitt’s movies. The newspaper ran large photos of Pitt and Maddox - sporting matching bracelets - over the weekend.But apart from the odd brush with the paparazzi, or the occasional tour bus stopping to glimpse the lodge, it’s been a relatively unsexy holiday for the world’s sexiest couple.Jolie, reportedly more than eight months pregnant, took the family to a private game lodge to visit a vulture used in filming "Beyond Borders." Pitt and Maddox raced quad bikes over sand dunes one afternoon - which Pitt loved so much, the bike shop owner said, that he promised to be back.It’s just the right speed for the people of Namibia, who dislike a fuss and are happy to give the couple their space."It’s not like Paris Hilton is coming our way," Styles said. "We’re not fast enough for her."Subscribe to the Mercury News

the real tita…Lara croft was such an idol over here, i dont know maybe because shes a strong minded brit! lol they even use the idea in our cinemas, to instruct people on the rules of the cinema! its quite funny, she kicks some ass! in cartoon form tho!im a big fan of Lara Croft and i wouldnt want to watch anyone else as lara. i think angie should ask for shares or to be part of the rights. as its her who has kept them in business!

# 179 | African Girllol that was funny..we have this old woman that mows yards in a dress with football cleats…she’s like 70 and talks to trees…I wonder if those two are related? her last name is Glodow..no **** I’m telling you this woman takes upper, downers and inbetweeners….cracks my gluteus maximus up

hey guys im going to hit the sack now its 11:30 so im shattered. catch up with u lot tomorrow.take care till then.

Sorry, I meant CGI not GCI.

Did that sounds like a man that was dragged to Africa like the tabliod reported. You guys should checked it out, the interviewed was done I believe by the Associated Press, I could be wrong about that, but the full interview is on Bradforums.net

#217 AlexanderinaThanks for theinfo on Mr.Pirr interview.I miss seeing pictures of this family. So it is nice to receive a little info here and there. Africa is becoming their adopted continent. They love it there.

# 72 | creativegirl: yeah, what you said! I know it would be killing me to have lost a man like Brad. That’s why I sometimes feel sorry for JA - usually, just about when I’m there, she shows up on Leno or somewhere with a "rumor I was married to Brad Pitt" "joke" and I’m back to not being able to tolerate her. # 79 | Be sane said: " But then why do I dread seeing Tom Cruise doing that very soon all over the planet :)" yep - I’m wondering if the poor child will be dragged to red carpet events….I just don’t get the feeling of a real bone in TC’s body.# 113 | lylian - Loved that post. I’ve been meaning to say it’s been great having you aboard the Good Ship BAMZ. I always enjoy reading your posts.# 124 | the real tita said so much that was so true. "JA may regret losing her husband, but she regrets losing those wide open doors more" is so sad if true isn’t it? # 136 | Alexanderina - the news of the competition has hit the newswires - I read it on yahoo and several other places. One from AP had Brad laughing that he is still NOT discussing the upcoming birth of +1 and saying that they were very fond of Namibia and the people there. I’m so thrilled that SOMEONE is doing something about that tragedy. I know it doesn’t compare to many around the world, but the response of the US government has been a travesty of justice for the people who lived there. I have a friend who had just moved into the 9th ward. Her house is still standing, but she lost EVERYTHING! For the first time, I feel a glimmer of hope that someday NOLA will rise again. Makes me love Brad even more. # 131 | Be sane : Do we know who is going to star in the Pearl film? I’d have to be hooked up to a saline drip to see Angelina giving birth with only a picture of Brad to keep her company! On# 142 you said: " He routinely visits middle eastern countries where he says their Solar energy research is much more advanced than US gov. wants people to know." Why am I not surprised? Lucky you growing up in a solar house!! I live in Central NY, lots of snow/rain not a lot of sun here. We do have some wind farms in the area though!!Now I know why Cindy 2’s posts are so long! I’ve been reading and replying!! Sorry for the length folks.RUDEDOG!!!! CONGRATS! So you will be living in France now? I’m so happy for you.

*****INSIDE THE ACTOR’S STUDIO*****Another reminder to watch tonight.Angelina is on and it’s a great interview. This will be my second time seeing this since it aried originally almost a year ago. Tonight, 8:00 PM on BRAVO. Watch so we can discuss on line or while it’s going on!.

I was just reading the silliest but cute thread over at IMDB regarding the film Babel. I’m really looking forward to this movie and I’m not sure what it means that it’s showing at Cannes but I’m sure that’s a good thing. Anyway, people are discussing the combined hotness of Brad Pitt and Gael Garcia Bernal in Babel and who’s hotter and it seems that Gael is winning by a landslide. Hehee.
