Babel Movie
When Babel, the latest offering from Alejandro González Iñárritu, premieres at the Cannes Film Festival this month, it will be a remarkable moment for Mexican cinema. Before 2000, when the director’s debut, Amores Perros, took Cannes by storm, Mexican films were rarely seen by international audiences. This year, one of Babel ’s main competitors for the Palme d’Or will be Pan’s Labyrinth, by González Iñárritu’s compatriot Guillermo del Toro. That two Mexican films are competing for the most prestigious prize in world cinema is a measure of how far the Mexican industry has come in the past six years.
New Babel stills! Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s drama Babel, starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal, is currently scheduled to show at Cannes on Tuesday, May 23 and open in limited release on Friday, October 6. Below is an Entertainment Tonight clip, which contains an intense scene from Babel featuring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. More pictures in the gallery!

I love this man!!! And I cannot wait to see this movie.
you have one new pictures. whoopee. Too bad they had to flee to Africa and hide out from their fans.
this movie is on my must see list.
third!!!! (sigh) its not the same….
# 2 | Brangelina Silly Child. Go play in you sand box.
go Brad!!! he has nice long hands… I’ll watch your movie!!!!
Now watch the hateful, sick posts start pouring in…but of course the hypocritics won’t see this.
I can’t wait for this movie
Thank You JJ…I can not wait to see this movie…yeah
# 2 | Brangelina Big Fan of AJ & BP here and I didn’t notice there was only one new picture. I think somebody is been spending a lot of hours poring over the pictures of people she claims to hate….lmao. Sily Child, now go play in your sand box…no really go.
I AM SO GOING TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!! Looks very good. Way go to, Brad.Thanks for the pics, Jared!!!!
omg his hands! roflmao you Brangelina fanatics are too funny.
I’m falling in love with this man He’s my dreams I loves his look it make me happy I’m stays in Thailand but I hope to see him one more time Now I wanna be Angelina Jolie or their any children I’ll always love Brad and of course I’ll go to see this movie -Love-
I’ve always been a woman who loves a man with strong hands and forearms and Brad has incredible hands and forearms. Don’t even get me started on his ass. The finest in Hollywood. Yummy!
# 2 | Brangelina Bitter much?
I heard Pitt is actually acting in this and does a fairly good job of it. I think his looks are entirely overrated. He looked good when he was married to Aniston, and now he looks like ****, in my opinion. He needs to hone his acting ability now that his looks are fading.
OMG!!! I hope brad and ange go to Cannes!!!!I want to see them on the red carpet together again!sigh…
********BRAD PITT**********Loving this man more & more. Babel has some of my favorite actors in it. I love the plot and the acting is sure to be above average. A must see.

Jake,I don’t think his looks are fading at all. To me the man is improving with age. Don’t get me wrong I drooled over him when he was in his pretty boy faze but now he has the looks of a man and I’ll take that over pretty boy. I’ve also heard that Brad is getting pretty good buzz about his acting in Babel. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he will be nominated (for the 2nd time) for Babel.
#7 Hmmmmmmm You are right! It’s amazing Jen-Jen’s fans can make all the evil and vile comments about BP and AJ ,but say something about her, IT’S ON ! Everyone has a right to their opinion , so come on Jen fans and tell us the movie is going to bomb. They should know Jennifer Aniston has had enough of them lately. Can not wait to see this movie.
Thanks JJ… How are we going to wait until October :)# 17 | k | Sorry K, there is no way they can go to Cannes she’ll be having the baby or close to thet date… I know it sucks but they’ll have the new baby and maybe good news from Cannes :)
He is absolute perfection (along with Wentworth Miller) and Angie is like the ying in his yang. Together….well, it just can’t be any more lovely, along with the gorgeous kids and the new one, they’ll take over the world. Love their little United Nations
# 20 | Lola | ditto to both of your points. To me he is so much more appealing now than the pretty boy image…
19 | Jake Thank goodness Brad isn’t with a superficially driven woman. You know Angelina could care less about his looks. And over the years Brad has said he felt burdened with the "pretty boy" title. In W magazine, he’s said he was happy that those days are behind him. By the way I like my men more rugged like Brad is today rather than "girly" like the old days.
I cant wait until this movie comes out. Im not a huge fan of Brad Pitt, sorry to the BAMZ lovers, but I do love Gael Garcia Bernal. Ive seen all but 2 of his movies and I love them. If hes in this movie, then I know it will be good. .
Brad is now sexier than ever, with the rugged, loving FATHER image, rather than the too perfect pretty boy he was in the past. I liked that phase, but I love him even more now.
I can’t wait to see the movie,it has been getting really good buzz.#26 floppies I agree, Gael Garcia Bernal is a very talented.I love his movies.Brad even with white hair you still look hot.
Brad has gotten so much better with age. And I cannot wait to see this movie. I think it will finally prove just how great an actor he is, for those who haven’t seen his talent already. Thanks for posting the pics, JJ!
He is just DIVINE!! I will always love him!GOD BLESS BAMZ+1!!
HELLO BAMZmers.Thanks JJ for the pictures, Brad looks HOT.I am going to see BABEL as soon as it comes out.
The trailer looks interesting and even with dusty hair , He looks HOT!
Everyone seems to think that Brad is at the top of his acting game right now. This is going to be one great movie.
Man, I am so excited to see this movie! I LOVE Gael Garcia Bernal!!! He is so hot!!! Add to that, hottie Brad, and it’s like an atomic bomb waiting to go off!!! Oh my God, I can’t even imagine!!! Yea!!!
thank goodness i have something to look forward to in the theaters! i was fretting that since i’m ignoring the Rumor has it dvd and averting my sight off the latest aniston movie and tom’s MI3, i better find something else to watch than reruns of my beloved Watership Down :-)
it will be wonderfull if BP&AJ came toghter in cannes hand in hand wolking in red carpte for babel first opening it will bering more publicty for the moive and will make gr8 appernace for both of them.b’coz angelina will due in early june & babel will show in 24 may still they have time to attandet the evernt.

This movie is going to be great I seriously don’t want to wait till October! Amores Perros and 21 Grams were excellent. I hope this earns Gael, Cate, and Brad some oscar noms.
Yes #40 Lori and #28 the real lou, Gael rocks! Amores Perros was one of the best movies Ive ever seen. From the moment I watched that movie, I knew I was inlove.
# 31 | MedullaHi there! I replied to you in Tomb Raider 3 thread, à propos de ma belle mère et tout…
This movie looks great, but I want some more pics of Gael Garcia Bernal. Damn, he is hot! Come on Jared, hook us up with some Gael Garcia Bernal pics.
Brad looks great in this movie. Hope the movie does well in Cannes.
Thanks JJ, I love my BP the way he is right now, no fake tan etc, for the haters in here, why dont you guys go over to the new JA thread they need your help over there cause they are getting smashed like a pumpkin. ROCK ON BP ROCK ON BABY YOU ARE HOT!
#43 Hi BESANESorry I missed you. I will go back and check it out Knowing you I am sure you threw something pretty funny in there too.I will talk to you later have a nice afternoon.AUREVOIR.
jake-He looked good when he was married to Aniston// brad looked good in the premieres with aniston ….
jake-He looked good when he was married to Aniston// brad looked good in the premieres with aniston ….
# 16 | Jake So let me get this straight…He was a bad actor before, but because he looked good with Aniston it was cool with you….that he was a bad actor?It’s interesting to me that based on what I’ve read for the last yr, the majority of Brad/Jen fans seem to have based their love for the couple pretty much 100% on what they represented for them physically, and rarely did it have very little to do with anything deeper than how coordinated and perfect they looked together on the red carpet. Once they split, he suddenly became a "bad actor." of course…JMHOjpf

#45 go spread your hate somewhere else. Aniston was mentioned once and all was said is that Brad looked better when he was with her. That Aniston thread was taken over by people with nothing better to do then obsess over someone they supposidly dont like. Anyways, back to the real thread. This movie looks good with great actors. I cant wait to see it.
His performances are maturing and becoming soooo much better. I love this man.#2 Brangelina I’m sorry sweetie, this isn’t the thread for you. I believe the Teletubbies are on the PBS site. Or maybe it’s just naptime somebody does sound cranky.
# 42 | Be sane -ok…thank you for Chpt. 4 and 5…you are so good to us untalent people….so when are you going to continue?…;)
# 51 | Go away haters - I don’t need to go spread my hate somewhere else because I am not a hater, I don’t like JA but I don’t hate her and if you read all the posts in here you will see that they are some negative people in here, like I said before ROCK ON BP YOU ARE HOT
It’s pronounced "bay-ble" you dumb b*tch. Every time Mary Hart–or whatever that dumb b*tch’s name is–said "Babble" I wanted to slap her
brad will not be in cannes.according variety:Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu will be for “Babel.”
I would love to see this film. Gael is a fabulous actor, and I know Cate can bring it.As for Brad, I love him when he plays sensitive and conflicted characters. My favorite Brad films are:Legends of the Falls, Meet Joe Black (his voice was mesmerising), Seven, Mr.Mrs Smith.What are your favorites?
I don’t think his looks are fading at all. To me the man is improving with age. Don’t get me wrong I drooled over him when he was in his pretty boy faze but now he has the looks of a man and I’ll take that over pretty boy.

He is just like fine wine. Gets better as time passes by.
|# 55 | Alicia | May 11, 2006 02:18 PM I know exactly what you mean Alicia. I was cringing each time wondering, does Mary Hart have any education? "Babble"? I mean, come on, even a child would ask if that was the correct pronunciation.
# 57 | April - I really really like him in Legend of the Falls but I love him in Mr & Mrs. Smith; I haven’t seen him in Fight Club and I heard he is good in it; I actually like all his movies but I can’t wait for Jessie James and Babel
#57 April,My favorite Brad movies are:THELMA AND LOUISE.LEGENDS OF THE FALL.OCEAN’S ELEVEN, NOT TWELVE!MR AND MRS SMITH.SE7ENKALIFORNIAFIGHT CLUBTHE MEXICAN.This one looks very interesting! Big fan of Cate Blanchette. ROCK ON BAMZ!WAITING INPATIENTLY, PLUS ONE!
Can’t wait to see it.

Grrr…I blame AJ for this. If they had just stayed their asses in Nice they could have gone to this—regardless of her due date (remember, CZJ went to the AAs 8 months pregnant!)I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but this is the first movie of his good enough to be in actual competition in Cannes, not just premiering there (like Troy). And he can’t go because he’s in freakin’ Namibia. She really bothers me.
# 64 | jizzy I feel the press would place to much importance on Brad’s presence and it would take away from the film.
Sorry about the typo w/Blanchett and the double posts. When Angie gives birth, this server WILL CRASH!!
#64 Brad is trying to do what is important to him right now. When Tom had Suri and he was still promoting his film, people said he should have stayed at home. People will have opinions but you have to stay true to who you really are. Brad is putting is money where is mouth is. People do not understand his values and morals like Angie said.
# 68 | you - I agreed with you. I think that being with his family and especially with a very pregnant girlfriend is whats important to Brad right now. Yes it would be nice to see him go to Cannes but there are other things that are much important in his life right now and that his family.
# 64 | jizzy DAAAAAYYYUUUUMMMM !!! You are probably the type that blames AJ for everything. Brad is EXACTLY where he wants to be. What’s more important right now? Going to represent your film at a festival instead of the premiere in the US or being with your woman, about to give birth) and your family? He’s has a family. You want him to up & leave his family? Brad has his priorities straight.
It’s 2006. Brad can tele-feed from Namibia live, should the movie wins something etc.
JARED Thanks for the added trailer. This film is very interesting. The description of the plot is almost like a spoiler.
This fil will rock!And i read that Brad&Cate will be co-starring in another movie!Oh and yeah Brad looks better and better!
eeuu Father Image doesn’t do it for me. Maybe if you’re like 45 or 50. I have a Father don’t want to be attracted to one, makes me want to hurl. doubt this server will crash with the birth, you Brangelina fans are crazy!
#73-HAhahahaha!!Are you really that stupid or you’re just drunk!I knew that some of the haters are dump but you are beyond any imagination…Hahahaha! I just can’t stop laughing!!
May be Brad will go to Canne on the 23rd.
Hater? I’m no hater. What are you even talking about? Your an idiot. Laugh your head off, nobody knows what your laughing about.
# 76 | Ashleigh Not a hater, well i can see that , at least you are not stupid like so many other people - you are stupid in a different and worse way! Yep, you are in an unclassified category.
Hater? I’m no hater. What are you even talking about? Your an idiot. Laugh your head off, nobody knows what your laughing about. # 76 | Ashleigh Not a hater, huh? Yeah….I can see that, see you are not stupid like so many other people - you are stupid in a different and worse way. Yep, you are in a category of your own.
doupt this server will crash with the birth,you Brangelina fans are crazy!#73 |Ashleigh|This statement of yours is quite enough for me to think of you as a hater.If you read your post once again you will realize why i was laghing.If you don’t i don’t give rats ass.Bye!
# 67 | you I was reading about Tom Cruise’s popularity fallin, and alot of it had to do with his over exposure and how he chose to go promote his movie in another country when Katie wasback in the states due at anytime. jpf
# 64 | jizzy He’s a grown man who obviously finds the birth of his first biological child more important than Cannes, and I doubt if he was in the EU it would made a difference as he probably STILL wouldn’t leave Angelina "by choice."I applaud his priorites and I’m sure those who know him do also. Just look at Tom Cruise egomanical butt and his decision to go on tour for MI3. His narcissitic ass left his due to give birth any moment girlfriend behind while he went "thousands of miles away" to promote his movie, and now his popularity is taken a hit because of it. I say go Brad. He’s a man who knows what’s important and what isn’t in the grand scheme of things…JMHOjpf
# 73 | Ashleigh thank you and now that you know it…maybe it’s time for you to go….coz we are contagious….you don’t want to get our brangelina fever don’t you???hey guys, i am also going to watch this movie…i am not really an original braddy fan…but i am getting him…he’s now a handsome mature man not a pretty superficial boy anymore as he was portrayed in the media before….i don’t really pay attention to him before and my initial opinion was that he’s just one of the hw prettiest actor…though i like him in the movie "the interview with the vampire"…wow…he looks good in that movie and he can act….then voila ….with my chickie babe…(i am proud to be one of the million fans of my angie) on mams….then i like him better!!i hope that he will get acknowledgement/accolades for his credible acting on this movie…that will be so fantastic for him…with loving family and with the new baby…it’s an explosion of good fortune because he and angie deserves it!!bamz+1 rocks and rules!!
You people are maddening! I did not say that he should leave her now to go to this thing. I don’t want him leaving her to go to a film festival! What I said was they should have stayed where they were in Nice, France, then both of them could have gone together. This is a big deal for him and I am chomping at the bit for him to get every drop of praise for his acting (since it looks like he’s actually doin’ it, in this movie).
Tom Cruise shares a very familiar trait with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Both men are classic meglomaniacs who believe in their own importance and influence. There is a very arrogant ("confront" in Scientology jargon) and in-your-face boastfulness and histrionics that is borders on pathalogical. Mind control is essential. L. Ron Hubbard, though very intelligent, believed in his own hype and capitulated to his own self-created myth, and in doing so, created a money-power-influence directed dynasty. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Unfortunately, humanity can’t be so easily swayed as it had in the past. People are starting to question and discern, and can very easily see through all the hyped image. Even though, after all, that’s been the Hollywoods way of justifying these pseudo heroics. IMHO

At least in Africa, the paps are controlled and the family can enjoy their stay.
# 83 | jizzy calm down lady….we can agree to disagree…no need to hike your blood pressure…we all do like brad…isn’t it ladies??…and we wish him the best….with his movie and the birth of his third child…
# 81 | Original jpf : ABSOLUTELY! Part of what is making Brad so sexy is the way he cares for his woman and his family. I would definitely think less of him IF he went to Cannes. Films come and go. FAMILY is what is important. I never liked TC, but, he really went down farther in my books when he left KH and baby right after the birth.Part of me wonders if we will see Brad and Angie at all at premieres. Together I mean. They may not want to make their premieres about THEM as a couple you know?
# 83 | jizzyBTW, I just have a feeling Brad will sneak in on the 23rd.
# 83 | jizzyBTW, I just have a feeling Brad will sneak in on the 23rd.
# 83 | jizzy I would love to see Brad at Cannes too but I don’t understand why you blame Angie? You wrote, "She really bothers me." Do you believe that Angie dragged him to Namibia without giving him a choice? Don’t you think that if attending Cannes was a top priority for Brad, then they would be there? If it was a priority then they would have never left France. Brad does have a mind of his own and he often uses it. If Brad does not attend Cannes then HE chose not to. Its that simple.
#89-Brad is not mentioned to be in cannes in 23rd.I don’t think he will go.But if he do that does not mean anything.It’s his job anyway.And who knows if they will be in Africa till then.
#64Grrr…I blame AJ for this. If they had just stayed their asses in Nice they could have gone to this—regardless of her due date (remember, CZJ went to the AAs 8 months pregnant!)I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but this is the first movie of his good enough to be in actual competition in Cannes, not just premiering there (like Troy). And he can’t go because he’s in freakin’ Namibia. She really bothers me./Angie really bothers you because she preferred to stay in Namibia where they can control the papparazzis that were hounding them in Paris like an animal? I think it’s great that Angie and Brad decided to stay in Namibia and at the same time she can worked on her causes, bringing awareness to people about Genocides in Darfur and children’s education where Ann Curry along with the media traveled all the way to Africa to interview Angie. Angie is brilliant when it comes to her causes. The US media haven’t covered any news on these issues, why not bring them over to Africa? Don’t blame Angie with her beautiful, caring heart for the less fortune. And I applauded Brad for his support of her causes and be by her side despite the negativities from the people like you.JJ, thanks for the trailer of Babel. Brad is looking hot than ever. This movie look intense, I can’t wait until October.
# 73 | Ashleigh You don’t find father figures sexy? Yeah…try to remember you said that when you’re with your married 55 year-old sugar daddy.
God you guys I miss seeing them.. They have managed to put a complete stop on pictures and news.. Amazing, its got to be Brad, you think?
#92-Ahem!Move on guys.Read #83 |Jizzy| post.She didn’t mean anything bad after all.I wan’t so much to see the movie!GOD BLESS BAMZ+1!!
# 94 | ashley |hi ashley, i agree, i miss seeing them too but i think it’s better this way for a while for them to stay out of the spotlight because they been hounded for the last year or so. And yes, i definitely think Brad is the one responsible for the lockdown on news and pictures. I find that so sexy, that he wants to protect his family like that.The movie looks really good, and i’m happy that Brad gets to show a different side of his acting in the movie, atleast that’s what i can judge from the trailer.
it would be sad though if we never got to see Angelina’s big ol belly again.. She will most likely be huge by the time she delivers… Baby Pitt seems to be pretty damn big!!
****AG, having waded through the most horrifying sight on the front page, stumbles into the Babel thread looking for familiar faces (names). She sees a few of her friends but she’s still too traumatized to say a word of greeting, instead she starts cursing profusely in French (this is what AG does when she’s had the living day lights scared out of her). Recalling her grandmama’s advice, AG takes short breaths until she finally calms down.******Hello eve(clears throat) Hi every one….How have things….(breaths in) How are you guys doing today? Me? Oh I’m fine…..just peachy…..Honky Dory….just perf…..(Loud Screech) WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED HERE?!!! (Stops, breaths in and out) Okay, Okay, I’m fine now but someone please tell me what happened. I finally get a moment to log on JJ and the first thing I see is the picture of you know who staring right at me….giggling on a bike with her legs spread apart. Ughhh! Was what I thought as I quickly scrolled down. I click on the first familiar name I see and lo and behold, I find myself on another thread with you know who. “Must get out, Must get out” was all I could chant but you know how it when you are doing something out of fright….it never goes right. So after a minute or two of trying to find my way out (Yep, DSL will do that do ya) I land on the front page again….to you know who (Sobbing silently) I was so afraid….I didn’t know where to turn. Had I landed in an alternate universe, where JA was now AJ? What were my friends doing on that thread? I was only gone for 6days, 18hrs, 25mins and 10..11…12 secs (not that I was counting or anything….I’m just very good at…ehmm…you know keeping…Fine I was counting, so sue me). The point is I wasn’t gone that long to have things change so fast….so soon…..Again I ask…What happened?Estelle… Guli… Juno….Passing Through…..Cindy2 (no wait, Cindy2 comes on later) Medulla (ma soeur), Original jpf….anybody? Help, I’ve I landed in the twilight zone? (Sobbing hysterically)Oh by the way, Can this guy get any handsomer…seriously? Thanks JJ, still the best.
# 83 | jizzy "You people are maddening!"Why we are the ones maddening? Forget everything you said but this: "Grrr…I blame AJ for this."" And he can’t go because he’s in freakin’ Namibia." "She really bothers me."I’m pretty convinced that Brad makes his own choices, and again, I pat him on his back for choosing his family over something that really doesn’t require his presence if the product is as good as some believe it to be. His acting is what the judges are deciding on, not his standing on the red carpet. JMHOjpf
What is going on with the site? I’m having a hard time reloading….is it just me? Where is everybody…apart from the JA thread, I Mean.
# 98 | African Girl Hey honey! We’ve tilted a bit to the left on our axis and our equal librium is a tad off centre while we wait on the Jolie-Pittette, but it’s all good and it’ll get better, and no, the man can’t get ANY more handsome. Lucky AJ….talk about him saving the best for last lol.jpf
Brad is 43 years old. He is not supposed to look like a 20 year old. Frankly I think he can look younger than his age when he wants to. (.http://www.justjared.com/gossip/2006/04/bamz-family-photo/) When I saw VV on Oprah I could not believe he was only 35. The bags under his eyes was not good.Can’t wait to see Babal
# 98 | African Girl | Hey there WELCOME BACK!!! You know I never go to X’s threads, so no idea what is going on there other than the ugly pics…See what happens when you leave, your firends go crazy, but me and Passing Through are blaming it on the meds. Since it was slow news we decided to get goofy at the Rumors thread (starts around #930) and we sure did. We might continue at the Rumors thread tonight for some more phone fics until Rica’s post tomorrow, so be ready, we need you to pitch in. We MISSED you…..Did you have a good time we need to hear all about it :))) If you go to the rumors thread you’ll see my same question to the fans, what the crap are you doing on the X’s thread???? She has more posts than she ever had thanks to BAMZ fans:)))) Oh, well, we are thrilled to have you back….

I think that Brad is bringing more of this awareness into his roles, which will only enhance his range, and in turn, open up the spectrum of roles that he will be able play. As many others have found, Brad was never on my short list of favorite actors, just another ‘pretty, plastic, face from Hollywood.’ After splitting with the X, it’s like I can finally see the ‘man’ from the ‘pretty boy’ image. Yes, he really is like a fine wine, grows better with age. Can’t wait for +1, wishing and praying that Angie has an easy delivery, and a healthy baby(or babies!)
# 98 | African Girl -WOW AG…YOU ARE HERE, HOW ARE YOU? HOW WAS THE WEDDING?…( sorry, am I shouting, I have to get the ear plugs out, my brother is practicing his guitar and I have to study for my final test)….it is a little bit out of sync today….any how, you must go to AJ TR rumors thread, there are Be Sane new fanfic, Rica teaser of a new chapter and a fabulous new group, I called them the " phone convos gang", a collaboration of Guli, Passing Through, Cindy2 and Stef…very funny stuff, phone conversation from x to the pitts…you have to seat on solid ground for this one, we don’t want you to giggle so bad that you will roll of the bed….and finally, no thanks to you, our Rude Dog ( well, actually to be correct, YOUR Rude Dog) spill his pictures for all of us ******* ( *sorry*). and finally, since you are blasted with JA’s pic. did you notice she is now dressing in black atire and wearing gold bracelet as well….( *whisper* like someone we knoww?..LOL) and before I forget…Guli and I on AJ Royalty thread….we are now calling her "World Rose" ( like princess Diana, when they called her " English Rose") sound good?…

# 101 | Original jpf |# 103 | guli | Oh Thank heavens. My Goodness…..I don’t know where to begin (still in shock). Anywhoo, I’ve been fine….just some finishing touches before I live for Dubai next week. I had to go to Indiana for Business and a meet and greet with my cousin’s soon to be husband’s relatives….does that make sense? Well, it was the longest five days of my life. Having to smile and smile and smile….ughhh. You have no idea the will power it took not get on the computer….I mean it was sitting right there collecting dust. So there I was just staring longingly at this thing. I got back home less than thre hours ago and the first theing I did was log on……is that sad? It is isn’t it? Yeah I know. Oh let me tell you how desperate I was, I actually called my younger bro and asked…no begged him to log on JJ and start reading the comments out loud….He hung up on me. Yep, the silly guy hung up on me….just wait until he gets home. I’m i obsessed? You know, in my defense, It’s not about AJ & BP anymore….I missed you guys. I did! I have no idea howI’m gonna catch up now….The last thread I was on now has 1300 and something posts, The Royalty thread has almost 300 post….where does a girl begin? Oh well, I have Friday to catch up…then I’m off again. I’m gonna channel my nephew here and say This Sucks…this is the suckiest of all the sucks.
I meant is "that you AG"
# 108 | Alexanderina it’s our AG alright…noone I know who can complaints that much when she is on a vacation in Dubai…LOL…( duck for flying daggers…)
Hey AG, there was the Poster on the X Thread that was using your name earlier today but someone put him/her in their place right a way for using your name. Welcome African Girl, we missed you
BRAD is a BABE. Always has been always will be…… Looking forward to him on the BIG screen. Love Cate too. Going to be good!
Estelle What?!!! Rudedog Showed his pix to everyone….oh…it is ON! See, I knew I should have stayed. That….That….ughhhh….excuse me a sec *Knives Sharpening* # 112 | Alexanderina WHAT!!! WHAT!!!! Someone used my name…..*THUNDROUS SHOUT* MY NAME!!!!Who? Where? When? Oh…Oh… *Pent up anger from the past week building up, AG sees red….all little animals Scurry into hiding…"*SWISHING SOUNDS* as AG swings hey ninja Sword.WHERE IS THE @#@##*&)$$&**$$$?
# 87 | Original Curious So funny you say that because I’ve been thinking that maybe they’re not going to be the typical arm-n-arm red carpet couple. Between the two of them they have 4 films being released this year, and he’s got one movie yet to film (O13), but I still don’t think they’re going to always show up together to each other’s movie functions, and of course tongues will wag, but I don’t think Jolie-Pitt will care, and they shouldn’t. I love so much that they are the polar opposites of all their past relationships "which all looked the same." JMHOjpf
# 114 | African Girl -* still duck for flying daggers* now…what?…ninja sword?…ok…calm down….deep breath….in…out….breath in…breath out…..we don’t want you to have a stroke or something….*shwimm*, just miss her wildely swinging of the sword…oye…we have another Uma Thurman’s "Kill Bil" 3…starring AG?>..LOL
# 114 | African Girl - You are hilarious, hey Girl, it was just some stupid chick on the X Thread
Hey Ladies, I miss not seeing new pictures of our favorites family. I know that they need this time away from those crazy Paps but I missed them
*Sigh*I feel better now….I don’t know about the plants in the living room but I do feel better. I know what I have to do tonight….I’m penning a Dear John letter to Mr. Rude who can’t be trusted for five freaking days dog.GuliI swear I was on that thread by mistake and as soon as I found out what it was, I jetted out of there so fast…..I was like the wind.Original JpfYep, you are right….I doubt they’ll show up arm in arm for the premiers…..even though it would be the prettiest sight. Of course we know the tabs are going to have a field day with that. I can see the headlines now "Brad Alone! Trouble in Paradise?!!" you know how they loooove their exclamnation mark!!!!
# 94 | ashley |I think EXTRA managed to get some new pics of the outside of their hotel. LOL They say they stepped up the security again
# 109 | African Girl AG, don’t feel bad because at least you gave it a try (at not logging on). I did that once and after that I said no more. I don’t just check on AJ/BP, but I’d be lying if I said JJ wasn’t one of the main destination’s lol. I’ll log on via my pda when it’s not convienant to lug my lap,…..I love technology! You pace yourself now before you end up brokedown from exhaustion. I hope you get to Dubai and find time to chill, shop, have fun, and roll your eyes real hard for me at Michael Jackson if you run into him on the street.jpf
AFRICAN GIRLWelcome back girl we missed you it was not the same without you welcome back.We had some comic relief from Passingthrough, Lady Stef and Guli it is so hilarious I still LOL…..Girl I am so bad tonight I can’t help myself , I am going back to Maniston Happer Bazzard thread, she is really getting a beating over there.
#120 / Julia JulesWhatchutalkingabout Jules? Whose picture? AJ & BP?
I think Bamz fans shouldstop posting in JA threads. Who cares about her anymore?
Hey AG…I’m here. I was transitioning from work to home via a mall pitstop. There’s not a whole heck of a lot going on on this thread, but we’ve had things hopping on another thread - TOMB RAIDER 3 RUMORS - http://www.justjared.com/gossip/2006/05/tomb-raider-3-rumors/?page=14#comments. Go there. I suspect quite a few of us will be hanging there tonight. We’ve been up to all kinds of naughty things while you’ve been gone…..
is brad still filming the movie babel?
No, he finished filming last May (2005).
Original jpfThanks for that. You have no idea how tired I am…..we drove. I’ve had maybe 30 hrs of sleep in five days. Right now, I need the biggest sleeping pill there is. Michael Jackson?! Aaghhhhhhhhhhhhh! Oh God! I don’t think my heat can take this anymore….with stumbling in JA thread and the thought of bumping in MJ…..Sleepless nights, more sleepless nights.MedullaHow are ya girl? I missed you too. My Goodness, you are a stronger person than I am to go on that thread. I’m still trembling and I only spent 1 min there.Julia JulesCome on! What gives? Whose pictures?
http://www.pittwatch.com/oceans-13-and-baby-news/angie will have the baby next week
Welcome back African Girl! LOL on your # 98 post, as I too was real perplexed when I logged on to JJ’s and see JA’s thread first. All I could say is: "is this for real? Is there no stopping this woman from cramming into our throats with her mag covers?!?" It’s really gaggin’ me. I’ve never ever posted in a jen thread, but I was to ticked off, I just had to put one. But scouts honor, never again. Anywhooo great to see you back here. I can relate to how you feel about getting obsessed coming to Jared’s, because I felt I was getting that way, and this was during the time I should have been focusing on my wedding. And like right now, I should really be cleaning my kitchen and garage, but here I am!! :D #87 - Ditto! Yep, totally agree. And as I have said before, Brad had me at ‘Cool World’. There are very few actors that ages soooo well. Cary Grant, Sean Connery, George Clooney, and Brad. Lastly, nothing against VV, but Brad even if older looks a whole lot better. ;)
I hope you get to Dubai and find time to chill, shop, have fun, and roll your eyes real hard for me at Michael Jackson if you run into him on the street.jpf # 121 | Original jpf ++++++++++++++Hey JPF….MJ’s in London, so it’s safe for AG to take any nephews along……
Hey Passing ThroughHow have you been. Gosh, it’s good to…to see you again..? So, guess what I did….I used the "******" joke….lol. Unfortunately, my audience were a bit on the stiff upper lip side…..so they didn’t give the hysterical laughter worthy of the joke….they didn’t laugh at all. So there I was giggling by my lonesome while five people (my two sisters and my Cousin’s soon to be family) looked at me like I had lost my mind. I guess I should have stopped there but then, I tried to explain….to cut a long story short, our ride back to the hotel was kinda tense. Jeez, hanging out with straitlaced people is no fun.
on the news, they were talking about Matt Damon, he was in Africa for 6 days on an Aids Funding Charity tour or something….( I did not catch the beginning of the statements…but they did said that …something like " another actor jump on the Angelina Jolie’s Wagon for Africa…GC and now MD….another newsperson said" well…he would "get on" too ( what a smuck)…and " she( AJ) should get on the Hillary Clinton ticket in 2008…Vice President Jolie?…hmmm
As much as I do try to avoid the subject, and I hope I’m going to regret stepping out of that for a sec I just thought this JA snippit was interesting….or maybe not. Hey, someone else put it out there asking…….here’s the linkhttp://www.imnotobsessed.com/2006/05/11/is-that-a-promise-ringjpf
JunoLol…thanks for that. Now I know I’m not alone. How’s married Life, have you adjusted yet? *wink wink*#131 / Passing ThroughRotflmao…….I MISSED THAT!!! Nobody does it like you do…..that’s why I’m gonna stop. Yep, this is bowing out of the humor department….it’s all yours.
I think Bamz fans shouldstop posting in JA threads. Who cares about her anymore? # 124 | Julia Jules——————————-Actually the Aniston thread with "NOT SO" flaterring photos looks more like a BAMZ thread.Judging from the posts made there, I wonder where the 59% approval rating from Gallup poll comes from.
# 98 | African Girl welcome back AG! i too, was horrified at the front page of jj. i lost my dinner and i’m still quite shaken. i hope i don’t have nightmares tonight. hopefully i can look at enough BAMZ pictures and read enough posts to wipe away the horrible image…
# 133 | Estelle They (the media) make me so mad with that negativity. Matt Damon didn’t just start lending his time and money to humanitarian efforts, and it seems like some in media are determined to take a dig at AJ if not directly, then via some smartass Mother Teresa, Princess Di, Hillary Clinton comment. Jealousy sucks.jpf
Hey Everybody, I just got this off EXTRA Website:Meanwhile, “Extra” has all-new breaking details surrounding Baby Brangelina. Sources reveal that Angelina Jolie is expected to give birth to Brad Pitt’s child the first week of June. We also found out that the stunning beauty is getting weekly sonograms. In preparation for the new addition, Brangelina’s bodyguards are tightening up security around the world’s most famous mom. However, amidst the baby excitement, Brad is leaving Angie’s side. Sources tell “Extra” that Daddy Brad is rumored to be in Paris and may attend the prestigious Cannes Film Festival later this month for the debut of his new film “Babel,” co-starring Oscar winner Cate Blanchett. There are also new Brangelina wedding rumors from way of Namibia. Reportedly, Angelina wants a tribal wedding that will feature African tribal woman as part of the bridal party.
# 131 | Passing Through Lol! I used to love that guy when I was younger, but now he’s just a sick ticket as is his whole family. They just protect his ass so he’ll pay their bills IMO……..except Janet who’s got her own chedda, and Marlon who seems to distance himself.jpf
so brad and angie are still in namibia in swakunpund?? i dont know how to write swakundpound lol sorry
The X-legs-wide-open picture was bad enough, but those ones with the Arquettes were truly frightening.
# 139 | Alexanderina Thanks Alexanderina. I guess jizzy will be thrilled…if story is true.jpf
# 138 | Original jpf -I know…that is why I am so mad…since she is away and does not have a PR person to speak on her behalf…the medias are taken all these cheap shots at her….I will never watch that news station again…. # 139 | Alexanderina -thanks for the info. Now, that would be interesting if Brad do show up at Cannes without AJ…I am sure, he will have to answer some of the questions regarding AJ, baby and family….
PAGING GULI! PAGING GULI!we are definitely ok!gitane
# 143 | Original jpf - And that is the thousand dollar question Orginal jpf, is this story true? I guess we will just have to wait and see. I believe the part about the baby due date but I don’t know about the other two
GitaneThanks, it’s good to be back. That was not a cool thing to see….after being gone for awhile.Original jpfHonestly, it’s amazing the number of ignorant people out there….I’m talking about people who should know better. What is with the snide comments? They make it seem AJ just started this last week instead of five yrs ago. Stupid people.AlexanderinaExtra…..? Hmm….how accurate have they been in the past? BP leaving AJ? I don’t know about that.
Well its 5:30PM here so I am leaving work now, talk to you guys later
# 147 | African Girl it wasn’t a cool thing to see after being here every day, either. anyway, i posted enough about TBTSNBN on the other thread. i’ll leave her in peace tonight.
Why don’t we have any pics of brad in paris? I’m not sure if I should believe Extra anymore. Last time they had wedding rumors they were false.
I lurked on the Aniston threads for awhile (I feel so dirty) and the best comments were from BAMZ fans. I couldn’t take it–it’s nice to be back in the land of punctuation, coherent thought and logic.
AFRICAN GIRLLOL girl you are funny but you are so right I posted one bad one and got out of there I cannot stand looking at that leg open wide picture makes you wonder how desperate she really is.
He’s so bi. I won’t see it.
#139; That’s very interesting………I miss seeing pics of them too! This is the calm before the storm…………KEEP ON ROCKIN BAMZ!WAITING INPATIENTLY, PLUS ONE!
# 153 | bp is bi so is angie. that’s what makes them perfect together.
i miss to see new pics of bamz wish to see new pics soon angelina jolie and brad pitt 4 ever
#153Uhmna…..uhmna….uhmna…..what in the world are you talking about, little girl? Disjointed letter don’t make sense.Gosh! It’s good to be back…lol.
KidiLol….back to the land of punctuations and logic. Oh heavens, the hardly make sense when they come over here…..I guess that will never chnage. MedullaHonestly, it wasn’t a pretty sight and I am not trying to be mean. Come on! The woman is 37 yrs old and she’s all nananana on a bike like a 10yrs old. That Johanssen (sp) girl displays a lot more maturity than this woman who’s 17 yrs older…..and this is the same arena X wants to play in? Alright, that my X quota for tonight. Now I gotta go check the Rumours thread out. I hear there are some funny, funny stuff on there. So much for catching some early Zzzzzs.
# 153 | bp is bi so you won’t be watching anymore vince vaughn films either? he’s bi, too you know. and let’s not mention the actors who are straight up gay! gosh, are there any films for you watch? i suppose you’ll have to spend your time watching anime. but, just think–there are dozens of bi & homosexuals who work on those too! why not boycott the world! just crawl into your hole and leave sane people alone. you’ll be doing us and yourself a favor.
I’ve been a BP’s big fan since ‘Thelma & Louise’ and I always believe he is talented actor but he’s too pretty so he has to work harder to prove it. He has never be afraid to try another different role. Yes, he is better ,sexier than those days.I’m so happy he’s with AJ and the kids. God bless BAMZ + 1."Babel" is definitely a MUST see list. Cate and Gael are both my favorite stars. They’re excellent. !!!

HA HA HA SILLY JAKE…you think he looked better whe he was with JA because putting them side by side his looks shined a million times brighter…now that the fug has gone he still shines but there’s nothing fugly beside him to compare him to…LOL!
Cate B is the same age as Anniston and the difference between them is so obvious - Cate’s great acting skills and timeless beauty vs Anniston’s sun-dried looks and the "Friends" acting skills. Can you see her acting out the same scene as Cate? She would have tried to pull it off with the classic Anniston crinkled brows and screwed-up mouth! What a nightmare!Hope Cate makes another movie with Brad cos they are GOOD together on-screen!
# 132 | African Girl LOL AG. Yeah…I’ve found a few people who didn’t find it funny either…or just didn’t get it…I’m not sure which.
and " she( AJ) should get on the Hillary Clinton ticket in 2008…Vice President Jolie?…hmmm # 133 | Estelle +++++++++++Unfortunately she’s too young. You have to be at least 35 to run for prez & vp. God know anybody’d be better than the schmucks currently in office.
Hey Estelle….you’ve got about 4 phone calls waiting for you over on the Rumors thread!
cate blanchett is awesome. i’ve loved her ever since elizabeth. i think that was the first time i truly got pissed about the oscars. she so deserved best actress. i think i’ve seen just about every film she’s been in except veronica guerin.did you know she’s in benjamin button, another bp project, too?
Hey Passing Through, I just came back from the Rumour Thread, you guys ROCK I was reading the phony Convos and I could not stop laughing, it is crazy, I want to say thank you to you and the rest of the Gangs for those convos they ROCK
He’s so bi. I won’t see it. # 153 | bp is bi+++++++++++Oh shut up. You’d do him in a heartbeat.
# 169 | gitane Hey Gitane, ITA about Cate Blanchette getting screwed out of the Oscar for Elizabeth. In a not so ironic twist of fate I believe she lost out that year to one of Brad’s exes - La ***** Paltrow. Paltrow giggled her way through Shakespeare in Love and they called that acting. If she hadn’t been the off-spring of two of HW’s own she wouldn’t have won that award in any year. The girl flat out sucks as an actress…er…she’s better than X, but come on…who isn’t?
#151 Hahahahaha!! Too funny. Yep, my sentiment exactly! African Girl, marriage so far so good. :) However, hubby has yet no idea been hanging in Jared’s once in a while. He’ll find out one of these days soon! :DAs far as pic of Jen in a biky, I guess spreading her legs is the best she can do. She can’t fly a plane or ride a motorcycle or hold a machine gun, much less hold two kids at once while pregnant. Definitely no comparison. :))Goodnight all!!
# 172 | Passing Throughi was so crushed that year. now, i don’t despise dear gwynnie–she just happens to find herself in films i like, but she did NOT deserve the oscar for getting felt up by joseph fiennes. what pissed me off, and continues to piss me off is that both SIL and Elizabeth were "period" pieces. they had almost identical casts (J. Fiennes and G. Rush were in both), cate acted circles around gwyneth (the line, "i’m married to england now" still gives me chills) and nothing. she got nothing. and gwynnie hadn’t done any acting to that date that even merited her being considered.i really hope that cate gets nominated for this. she’s been brilliant in every film i’ve seen her in. it’s time she got her due. and i hope brad gets nominated right along with her. he should get something for his intense 4 year effort as a devoted husband to a shallow ghoul. oops! broke my promise to not mention x. bad gitane!
# 172 | Passing Through I really have no opinion of GP, and if pressed I’d have to go with dislike, but the one time I ever liked her was when she spent a segment in London with Ross The Intern from Jay Leno’s show. It was so funny, and she was actually "light, airy, and her nostril hairs weren’t visable due to the way she has of sometimes looking down her nose at others."jpf
Greetings!! How’s everybody doing today? Looks like it was a very busy day in here? I have some catching up to do. Passing through : You have more fics for us ? Woo Hoo! OK …I am going to check it out. You and Be Sane are on a roll! lol! AG is back too! I missed her. Actually I am going to miss everyone when I leave on Monday. What am I going to do? I’ll find a computer in France at my sisters house. I will cry if I am not around here for the birth! OK…..just have to say I saw X over there on the Arquette thread and something is so not right with that girl. It didn’t even look like her. Who has the goods on her. Fill me in. She does not look well. And what is with the bracelets and black? Weird.Just weird. I’ll be back! Ciao!
# 174 | gitane ITA on Cate. I thought she got screwed last year, too. She should’ve won BSA for "The Aviator" instead of that Renee Zelleweger for "Cold Mountain".
# 176 | Moi Jade Yeah, a couple of phone convos from me and Guli…and someone stole X’s diary and left us today’s entry. I can’t believe how careless that girl is with her diary! Shocking!
Nothing to say really, it’s all the same wishing all well-hey AG, Estelle, Guli, Juno, Original jpf, Cindy2, Gitane, Rudedog, Moi Jade, BAMAz fan and everyone else, it’s a long, long wait, but I think Baby will be here for 1-2 weeks before they actually tell us baby is here. Anyway, I saw Vince Vaughn on Oprah and I thought he looked well(except for those huge bags)he was nice and funny and entertaining. I think he’s great guyu-probably won’t last with Anniston though-she and Tom Cruise would’ve been absolutely great together, anyway, gotta go work on the screenplay thingy-take care
# 177 | Passing Throughthat’s just how hollywood works. zellwegger puts on a truly atrocious accent and wins an oscar. cate channels katherine hepburn and gets looked over–again. that’s why i hate award show season. it’s all bogus. the only thing i like seeing is the red carpet. after that, i read the results in the newspaper next day. i’m really hoping that some day we’ll see bamz on the red looking gorgeous and happy and together.
# 139 | Alexanderina |OMG! If Angie has the baby in the first week of June, it’s going to be crazy. Doesn’t the X’s movie come out that week? Lol. Oh no, i don’t know how to feel about this. I’m excited yet scared at the same time if this is going to be true. Anyways, whenever the baby comes, I send my good prayers to Brad and the Family and hope that Angie has a safe and healthy delivery. =)
# 139 | AlexanderinaI just went to the EXTRA site, and there was nothing about Brad. I even searched the archives, and nothing was posted there that was in any way new. Are you sure it was from Extra? I’m tired enough that I may have missed it, but I just tend to doubt that 1. Brad is in France now or 2. that he will attend Cannes. He’s been waiting for this baby for the past 7 years at least. We all know babies come when THEY want to, not when they are "penciled in to come". lol
Cate Blanchett did win the Oscar for "Aviator"; Renee Z. won for "Cold Mountain" the year before that.
# 183 | kidiyou are quite right. thanks for clearing that up. she was still robbed over elizabeth, though.
# 182 | Original Curious - Yes Original Curious it was EXTRA, I just saw at on tv here it comes on at 8:00pm in San Diego, but before I watched it on TV I saw it on Google when I google Brad and Angelina, checked Extra website again
#182 OC, it was on Access Hollywood tv. They said it’s a rumor that BP is now in Paris and that he may attend the Cannes festival.
# 184 gitane–Yes, I LOVED her in Elizabeth and she was totally robbed by Paltrow who I can’t stand. Blanchett is good in everything she does.
# 182 | Original Curious - I believe the part about the baby dye in the first week of June but the rest I take with a grain of salt# 181 | stardust - I know it would be madness if she had the baby that weekend that the X movie comes out
# 182 | Original Curious - when you go on the Extra website checked under "Is Seacrest In Or Out with His Ex" that is where the story about BP and AJ is
I meant "due date"
Good Night all I am off to watch CSI Las Vegas
I miss seeing BRADLEY on the BIG screen. I can’t wait to see this one….so intense. I wonder what the tragic event was….In the scene with Cate B - she is clearly upset and want sto argue but Brad doesn’t really argue. He is just so calm and peaceful and never looses control. So I am intrigued to find out this tragic event…. I think he killed her - by mistake, if there is a such thing….Brothers and Sisters, I would like to quote a few chapters from the divine and righteous book of BAMZ+1:Do not drive yourself crazy by arguing with those who dont want the truth, for they are clearly insane….The Book of the First Conception, Chapter 1.(LOL) The truth will come in the night, preferably the second week in June… from the same book but it’s the start of Chapter 2.(ROTFLMAO)
# 192 | ReneeWhere can I get my copy of The Book of BAMZ+1? I promise to read it every night before bed. Long live the Jolie-Pitts!
Lola, please don’t encourage my madness. LOL Seriously, I have a few titles, chapters and verses that are scattered all over my laptop. I hope to put them in order over the weekend and give you guys something for your laughing pleasure very soon.
Forget about Brad Pitt! Gael Garcia Bernal - now that is one hot beautiful man!!! Can’t wait to see this movie. Just saw The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (same director I think). It was a great movie.
I can’t wait to see this movie. Also, Gael Garcia bernal is here too. A plus indeed. I AM FROM TORONTO, CANADA & OUR INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL IN NEXT TO CANNES IN PRESTIGE. USUALLY MOST MOVIES THAT ARE SHOWN IN CANNES COMES HERE FOR A NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE. SO I HOPE "BABEL" WILL BE INCLUDED & ME & MY FRIENDS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE BRAD IN THE RED CARPET & MAYBE WITH ANGELINA. BRAD WAS HERE ON THE PREMIERE OF "SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET" IN THE TOTRONTO FILM FESTIVAL. HE ARRIVED WITH GWYNETH PALTROW & THEY WERE MOBBED BY FANS & PAPARRAZZI . IT REALLY MADE MY DAY. I WAS STILL YOUNG BY THEN. SO KEEPING MY FINGER-CROSSED THAT BABEL WILL BE HERE. CAN’T WAIT. LAST YEAR JOHNNY DEPP & ORLANDO BLOOM CAUSED A PANDEMONIUM HERE.
Im just thinking-Remember the recently reported rumor that Angie and Brad were back in Paris and that Angie had been in the hospital in Paris for a checkup? Maybe they are all back in Paris. The Sun is also reporting that BP and AJ are arranging for a sale of Namibian crafts to be held in Paris in September. Who really knows where they are? No pictures since April 29th, though I read somewhere that they met with the wife of the Namibian president and her daughter on May 4th (daughter is supposed to have said that Angie looked ready to pop at any minute). They are pretty good at keeping out of sight when they want too. Angie did say in the ACurry interview that they weren’t sure where the baby would be born. A pregnant woman can fly on a private plane at any time in her pregnancy especially if a doctor is along, only commercial flights restrict travel to no more than 34-36 weeks pregnant women due to liability concerns. Maybe BP will be in Cannes (and who knows AJ also if she hasn’t given birth by then like CZJones at the Oscars).
#194 Renee"Lola, please don’t encourage my madness."I want my copy!!!!!!! ;)
on the brangelinafans blog there’s someone who is posting as Mickey Brett. the owner of the blog says it’s really him. anyway someone asked him if they were still in Africa or if the Paris rumors were true… He said all he would say is they’re not in Paris. He didn’t say they were still in Africa. Good night!
AS LONG AS MY FAV COUPLE IS TOGETHER…IA AM HAPPY…IF THEY BOTH SHOWED UP IN CANNES IN THE RED CARPET MUCH BETTER…BUT IF THE FAMILY STAYED IN NAMIBIA…GOOD FOR THEM…I THINK ANGIE GETS ALL THE REST SHE NEEDS BECAUSE AFTER THE BIRTH IT GOONA BE A FULL-TIME HARD WORK. BUT I AM SURE THE COUPLE WILL GET THROUGH WITH IT. THEY REALLY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER.
#199-What to Believe-Thanks for the Mickey info. I really believe now that they have left Namibia for who knows where. Time will tell! Maybe they went back to the south of France. I just want them to have peace at this very special time, and a safe, happy, and easy childbirth experience and a healthy baby. I am somewhat concerned for Angie who is a tiny person, because after having 2 9-pound+ babies myself, Angie looked very large in the last pictures to me, and if she is having only one little Pitt it looks to be a large sized baby (or twins??). Who knows, she may need a c-section, or being Angie experience no problems at all. I was only in labor 3-4 hours with both of mine, no c-sections, but plenty of medication.Babel looks to be a great movie that I will definitely see. Brad just looks better and better as he gets older!
I have seen almost all of Brad film. Whether its comedy in The mexican, MMsmith or intense film or thriller, He easily morph to the character he play. Unfortunately, He was too pretty, too big that overshadow his acting talent. I wish as he mature, people will really take serious on his talent. Didn’t Tom Hank get his 2 Oscar when he was at 40 something ? I can’t wait for Babel and JJ, and how much I love his new family, I still wish He would be on cannes this year.
# 179 | malibumom | goodnight and I agree IMO, VV is funny,cute and deserves better than getting someone on the rebound who needs a clrutch to get over "oh crap, how did I let him get away" phase… Night….
THE BREAK UP opens JUNE 2, if Angie has her baby the first week of June, JA will be on a serious cigg smoking, tanning, beach walking ALONE, drinking, gambling binge.ROCK ON BAMZ!WAITING UNPATIENTLY, PLUS ONE!
sorry for the typo;WAITING INPATIENTLY, PLUS ONE!Time to go to bed!
Shut the **** up, … Losers!
Cate Blanchett did win the Oscar for "Aviator"; Renee Z. won for "Cold Mountain" the year before that. # 183 | kidi+++++++++She did? My bad. The last 5 years of Oscars has been like one big awful production to me!
# 192 | Renee -the story suppose to be a tragedy strikes a married couple on vacation, a group of boy found a gun, one of boy accidently fires the gun and the bullet travel….. it struck the wife of the married couple and the story interweaving into four stories set in Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico, and Japan. …I wish I can be in Cannes next week to see this movie…*sigh*…
CAN’T SPEAK UP #206 SO YOU RESORT TO THE MOST COMMONLY WORDS UTTERED BY MAJORITY OF JEN’S FANS THE INFAMOUS "F" WORD? DO YOU THINK WE ARE TROUBLED BY THAT? NOT AT ALL. WE ENDURED MORE HARSHER WROD FROM THE OTHER WEBSITE FORUMS SO WE DEVELOPED OUR OWN DEFENSE…GIVE THEM WHAT RESPOND BUT GIVE THEM A GOOD LAUGH AFTERWARDS. DAMN IT FEELS GOOD AFTERWARDS! TRY IT! LOL
according to cannes official list and variety , brad will be not in cannes.Par’s talent lineup for Cannes:Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for “Babel.”Beyonce, Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Anika Noni Rose and director Condon for “Dreamgirls.” Stone for “WTC.Willis, Avril Lavigne, William Shatner, directors Jim Johnson and Karey Kirkpatrick and DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg for “Over the Hedge.”Gore and director Davis Guggenheim for “An Inconvenient Truth.”
ANYONE WHO SAYS BRAD PITT CAN ACT MUST BE JOKING. KATE B. CAN ACT. AS FOR BRAD, I ONLY WISH HIM WELL BUT I SIMPLY CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HIS FACE OUT OF BIG SCREEN BECAUSE HE SIMPLY MAKES ME SICK. HE IS A TALENTLESS FACE. HIS ACTING ABILITY REALLY SUCKS AND AM SURE HE KNOWS IT. AND WE ARE ALL FANS BLINDED BY THE SHAPE OF HIS ASS AND HIS FACE AND BIG HANDS AND ARMS AS ONE OF U PUT IT ABOVE…
#211 IndiaI don’t think Brad Pitt has had a chance to show his acting chops yet. Yes, he’s been great at light comedy, as in Ocean’s 11 &12, and has been able to be the enigmatic, troubled, quiet rugged guy in River Runs Through It and Legends of the Fall, but in the latter Aidan Quinn was the better actor and the former the scenery of Montana was the best character. Men don’t get to the A-list until into their thirties, and don’t really hit the best roles until into their 40’s. His prime is now, and the fact that he is given the chance in meaty roles is a testament to the fact that his previous work put him on the A-list according to producers and he can reap the rewards now if he has it in him.Personally, I think he does. He has shown in movies like Spy Game and Interview with the Vampire that he can be soulful and express emotions in a closeup, as well as carry the physical presence of a leading man. He has aged well, and now his looks are not a distraction, but an asset. I think Brad Pitt is entering his best decade.
# 158 | African Girl The woman is 37 yrs old and she’s all nananana on a bike like a 10yrs old. That Johanssen (sp) girl displays a lot more maturity than this woman who’s 17 yrs older…..and this is the same arena X wants to play in? She knew she can’t compete with Actress of her same age like Julia Robert, Nichole Kidman. Cate B, Renee Z,CZJ. so she try to act and stay cute forever, may be she still had a chance when competing for role with the likes of Scarket J., Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, Keira Knightly, Lindsay Lohan.
# 212 | movie fan That’s right !!!
# 212 | movie fan i agree… i didn’t really get him before because he’s so pretty that it’s off putting….i first saw him in the interview with the vampire but after that i lost interest on him…i like a man who is not always looking so well-groomed…those pretty pictures of him looks so sissy to me…i ask myself…man, is this guy never get dirty looking like working on the backyard or whatever?? i know it’s hollywood but look at johnny depp!! that’s a real actor!! look at matt damon…he’s a man’s man!! look at george clooney…he’s a charming debonaire!! and look at brad pitt before…he’s so pretty!! you know what i mean?? but then it’s only my perception and his pr works…and he said that he gets tired of being always the pretty boy….as he become older…he has staying power….he’s more attracted to us mature…more experienced woman because he doesn’t look so superficial anymore….it shows by him not caring about what the critics will say about the decision he made…the negative views/comments…of leaving his previous superficial life with his x…..i do think he does not really care about others pov…it’s his life and it’s his decision…the only thing that I really don’t like about all this hoopla is having my angie getting the backlash/brunt from the x losers fans….but it’s up to my angie…she is very happy and I am just happy for her…so braddy…I am including you in my best wishes and good fortune because of loving and supporting my gorgeous chickie babe!!Bamz+1 rocks and rules!!
Oprah, Bono Top Celeb Philanthropistsby Josh Grossberg May 11, 2006, 10:35 AM PTCelebrities may make a lot of money. But they’re also good at giving it away. Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Angelina Jolie top Forbes.com ’s list of Hollywood’s 10 most generous entertainers, donating a collective $58 million over the last two years to respective causes, most notably disaster relief in the wake of the devastating Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. a d v e r t i s e m e n tCiting numbers from the Chronicle of Philanthropy, Forbes.com reports that the daytime talk queen doled out a whopping $52 million in charitable donations in 2005 alone. She gave total of $36 million to her Oprah Winfrey Foundation, which supports women and children’s programs. An additional $3.5 million went to Oprah’s Angel Network, which she founded in 1998 to encourage fans and fellow celebs to be more philanthropic. And last but not least, Winfrey gave $10 million to aid victims ravaged by Katrina last year. Spielberg, meanwhile, wrote two checks worth $1.5 million each to aid in the post-tsumani and post-Katrina recovery. The Schindler’s List previously established the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation to archive first-person accounts by Holocaust survivors and the Righteous Person Foundation to donate his earnings from the Oscar-winning movie to various Jewish causes. Coincidentally, Winfrey and Spielberg recently topped Forbes’ list of billionaire entertainers. As for Jolie, the Oscar winner has become as well known for her activism on behalf of refugees as her ongoing tabloid affair with Brad Pitt. Aside from traveling the globe visiting refugee camps as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Jolie shelled out more than $3 million to various refugee agencies last year. Arnold Schwarzenegger annually says hasta la vista to mucho dinero to help bankroll the Special Olympics, which was founded by mother-in-law Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and After School All-Stars, the program he’s routinely plugged as California’s governor. His 2001 donations totaled more than $4.1 million, mostly divvied up between those charities, the Twin Towers Fund and Nelson Mandela’s children’s fund. Celine Dion ponied up more than $1 million to the American Red Cross’ disaster relief fund following Hurricane Katrina. She also has donated proceeds from select performances of her Las Vegas concerts to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (her niece died of the disease) and other causes. Ditto Sandra Bullock, who gave million-dollar donations to relief efforts following the 9-11 terrorist attacks and the tsunami disaster. Paul and Heather McCartney contributed $1.9 million to tsunami victims and regularly make headlines campaigning on behalf of the Adopt-A-Minefield charity and various animal rights initiatives. Nicolas Cage gave $1 million to Katrina relief. He also regularly supports Chrysalis, a Los Angeles nonprofit aiding the homeless. Jackie Chan made the list for his eponymous foundation, which helps at-risk youngsters in Hong Kong. He donated $64,000 to UNICEF for tsunami relief in 2004 and helped organize a mammoth telethon featuring some of Asia’s most popular celebs. He has also contributed $100,000 to Chrysalis. Finally, a no-brainer on the list is U2 frontman Bono, who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize and named Time magazine’s Co-Person of the Year for his tireless advocacy of Third World causes. In 2002, he helped launch DATA (Debt AIDS Trade Africa) that lobbies industrial nations to help fight poverty and AIDS in Africa. U2 and McCartney were also among the headliners of last summer’s Live 8 concerts aiming to raise awareness of such issues. Speaking of DATA, Matt Damon just returned to the U.S. from a trip to Africa sponsored by the group to see exactly how American funds are being used. Damon said he also wanted to highlight the work being done there by such other groups as the African Development Foundation, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS and galvanize wider support. "To see so much hope from people who have so little made this an inspiring and life changing journey for me," said Damon in a statement. "The promises America and other rich countries have made to Africa must be more than words. Those promises need to put hopeful children in school; help parents put roofs over the heads of their children; and get life saving AIDS medicine to the patients who need them now." Damon’s Ocean’s Eleven costar George Clooney just came back from a fact-finding trip to Darfur to help shift attention to the plight of the refugees fleeing the ongoing genocide there. The thesp has urged his fellow Americans to attend public rallies over the next few weeks to pressure the Bush administration to make good on its promise to help end the violence there. "What we cannot do is turn our heads and look away and hope that this will somehow disappear," Clooney told reporters at a packed news conference at the National Press Club. "It’s the first genocide of the 21st century." source: http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,19006,00.html?rsslatest
Now I really have to agree with all of you ……..his hands are really good!!They look good, they are long and well……you know.Brad Pitt is looking nice!!(like always)
It’s Mr and Mrs Drab Pitt BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE are in serious danger of becoming Hollywood’s dullest stars. Not content with saving the world by adopting kids from every corner of the globe, they now want to rescue the economy of Namibia, Arica, with a collection of, wait for it . . . homeware.The pair are working with local craftswomen to gather a range of pottery, rugs and other household goods to launch at a big Paris art fair in September. And they’ve promised to pay every penny back to the community. How worthy.A source told me: “It combines their two passions. Brad’s involved with design and Angelina is committed to humanitarian work.“But they won’t take any of the money themselves. It will just be their little way of lending a helping hand.”Ooh! I hope I get an invite to a Brad & Ange Tupperware party.source: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2006210683,00.html

He has shown great concern over what is going on and promised to do what he can,” he added.Heavily pregnant Jolie is currently residing in Namibia awaiting the birth of her first biological child with Brad Pitt and their two adopted children.
#218 |tabloid news|Jesus christ! What other bullshit they will figure out to sell their trash.They are beyond pathetic.I think they are still in Africa as long as we don’t have new picks of them.Brad is not supposed to be in Cannes.As for the Check up i think it was just a rumor.The life and style reported that they went to Paris in May 5.If they were still there we would have seen new pics.I believe they are still in Namibia.

according Republikein( namibia newspaper) BAMZ are in Omaruru(namibia).OMARURU droom van ‘n besoek deur die Brangelina. Biltong vir Brad Pitt en sjokolade vir die soettand van Angelina. En parmantige kleuterdrag vir die peuters Maddox en Zahara. As hulle tog net wil kom!Die aas om die beroemde paartjie van Hollywood en hul aangenome kroos van twee op Omaruru te kry, is ‘n pakmandjie met produkte van die omgewing. Selfs die koerier om die “pleistertjies” by Pitt, Jolie, Maddox en Zahara (en dalk nog enetjie) te kry, is op Omaruru voorgestaan. Hy is Günther Heimstädt, eienaar van The Burning Shore op Langstrand en gevolglik gasheer van Pitt-hulle. Günther ry gereeld deur Omaruru op die roete tussen sy jagplaas in die Noorde en Langstrand. Hy is gevra om tog die pakkie te gaan afgee. Dit kom namens die ganse Omaruru-gemeenskap.In die pakkie is van Omaruru se eie rooiwyn van die Kristall Kellerei op die oewers van die groot rivier. Brad se liefde vir Kaapse rooiwyne is bekend. Of dalk wil hy by die kelder self ‘n sluk aan die beroemde (en gevreesde) turksvyblits kom vat. In die land van die vleiskonings is daar benewens biltong ook droëwors, brandrissiehappies en rookvleis in die pakkie vir die proe. Die naaldwerksters het ‘n rokkie en ‘n bandana vir die kleine Zahara (14 maande) bygesit en vir ‘n meer parmantige Maddox is daar ‘n T-hempie en ‘n bandana. Vir die ou kleintjie wat op pad is, is daar ‘n T-hempie – tog te oulik vir haar ma.Dit is bekend dat Angelina haar gunstelingsjokolade per vliegtuig uit Amerika Namibië toe laat kom het. Maar het sy al Omaruru se sjokolade uit ‘n eie aanleg geproe?Oor die dorp en die omgewing is daar brosjures en knipsels oor al die besienswaardighede en bedrywe. Die Suidweslied in Duits is op ‘n kaartjie.As Brangelina net wil kom kuier…
# 224 | elen Is there anyway, the article can be translated to English? Thanks
#213 - hate to say this but reckon both Scarlett and Kiera are way better actors than Anniston. Can you imagine her in Girl with The Pearl Earring or even Pride and Prejudice? She is such a sad case!
#224 |elen|- I knew the were still in Namibia.Thanks a lot but can you or anyone translate this article??

# 228 | Press Man Can you place it in the Aniston thread. not interested in this lady.
#228-Sorry Press Man but i think it wasn’t necessary to post that here.You already post it on JA thread.This is BP thread anyway.But keep up with your articles whitch have to do with BAMZ+1.REQUEST:Can anyone translate elen’s post please!!
The writer says in so many words that Ms. Aniston has no Big screen Star power.She’s only recognized as Rachel GreenHer Most succesful Movies were because of her leading men.The woman is a jittering MessHer Relationship with her Mom is still a mess.The reason for her obsessive need to remain thin…….Does this seem like a woman who’s ready to give everything up for a family?Usually, Pressman only wants to post the news and never include his own opinions but I had to give an explanation for posting this. So much for unbiased Press Man.
# 233 | Press ManSorry for complaining and Tnx for explaining. I just cannot stand to see the X name … that is why I was complaining.

PITTS TOP AFRICA PARTY CIRCUIT Kiki King, Eva Simpson & Caroline Hedley WHAT do a Hollywood couple and an African nation’s first lady talk about when they meet for tea? Baby names, of course. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (right) had a visit from Namibia’s Penehupifo Pohamba at the Burning Shore Beach Lodge, which they’ve booked out entirely for themselves. Says Mrs Pohamba: "We’d be honoured if she gave her child a Namibian name." Penehupifo Pitt certainly has a bit of a ring to it… source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/tm_objectid=17068198&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=pitts-top-africa-party-circuit–name_page.html
# 233 | Press Man There was one piece of unfortunate news I gleened from the article….X still has ties to Plan B Productions. Dammit. I was hoping the rumors about BP getting Plan B in the divorce settlement were true.It beats the hell out of me how both Gus Van Sant and Martin Scorsese could be interested in directing movies with X as the leading lady. The Scorsese flick is particularly disturbing because in that one X would play an ex-cop who breaks out of prison…and co-stars Meryl Freaking Streep, people! Not even a director as great as Scorsese or an actress as great as Streep can give that girl talent!
I hate to say it, but i think he will get nominated for an Oscar next year judging by this small clip. Typical, he cheats on his wife, and its him who ends up getting an oscar nomination whilst her career is struggling. # 236 | Huxley+++++++++++++++Gee, Huxley, since you’re so bitter, I’m going to drop another bitter pill for you to swallow…the buzz surrounding AJ in "The Good Shepherd" is that it’s very much an Oscar-worthy performance. So hopefully your and X’s lives will be complete next year when the new Mr. and Mrs. Pitt walk off with complimentary Oscars.
A Different Look at the Article Posted on # 218. You can always tell how writers feel about their subjects in the manner ther write.Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Launch Money Making SchemeIn Namibia…By:Lowri Williamson 5/12/2006 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are not letting a burgeoning stomach hold them back from their charitable concerns while in Namibia.Brangelina’s latest charitable idea is a collection of home ware from the region that they will display and sell before giving all profits back to the local community.They are planning on working with local craftswomen to gather a range of rugs, pottery and other locally made household goods to sell abroad.A source told the Sun: “It combines their two passions. Brad’s involved with design and Angelina is committed to humanitarian work.“But they won’t take any of the money themselves. It will just be their little way of lending a helping hand.”Lucky they are doing it now…soon they will have their hands even more full!
#243 |Press Man|-SOOOO TRUE!! I have notice that many times.
# 241 | Passing Through | Regarding Plan B, before the divorce, a couple of these films went into production (the Departed and Running with scissors - the time travelers wife, is a movie she is also attached do, but i don’t know if it going to get done) and as she was part of the co. she will get production credit.. She will share in the profits from the films… thats it… she is no longer part of the company that Brad has, once the movies are done with, that’s it..
^^^^ PS… the original idea behind Plan B was for X to get movie roles, because she would not have been first choice for movies out there…. however because Brad was off for those 2 yrs after O11, he concentrated on the co and turned it into something bigger.
There was one piece of unfortunate news I gleened from the article….X still has ties to Plan B Productions. Dammit. I was hoping the rumors about BP getting Plan B in the divorce settlement were true.// the article is wrong, jenn has one movie with plan b is her only relation with the company.from variety more about plan b:Source: VarietyThursday, May 11th, 2006Newmarket Films has bought the rights to the documentary God Grew Tired of Us which is produced by Brad Pitt.The film was a double winner at this year’s Sundance Film Festival for documentary grand jury prize and audience award.

the Departed and Running with scissors are two oscar contenders.
I hate to say it, but i think he will get nominated for an Oscar next year judging by this small clip. Typical, he cheats on his wife, and its him who ends up getting an oscar nomination whilst her career is struggling.# 236 | Huxley…..Brad ex choose career over family, whatever happen to her career, she’s a grown woman should accept it whether good or bad. and stop blaming the script, the director, his ex… etc. Lastly, Brad didn’t cheat, they are two person who just grow apart and feel tired acting as the fake golden couple of HW.
The Depart is a film worth watching. this film is a remake of HK cop thriller film. that film was a big hit in fareast asia. with Martin Scorsee directing Matt Damon and Leonardo deCapricio on the lead, this movie will be a hit !
It will be a very interesting awards season in the fall/winter 0f 06/07. The Departed (if it’s released in time) Running With Scissors, Babel, The Assassination of Jesse James, The Good Shepard are alll Oscar films that involve Brad, Angelina and X. X really because she’s listed as a producer on those films. They were filmed when she was still married to Brad. She has three more films that she is attached as a ‘producer". That’s it. The divorce settlement has Brad Pitt & Brad Grey as Plan B Productions. The buzz is good with Angelina in The Good Shepard. Because she’s an international figure you can bet she will be nominated for Golden Globes and possible nominated for an Academy Award. It will be a tough year for women though in the acting categories. Competition is fierce.

# 204 | COLD HARD MATH LMAO!!! Oh my, and PUHLEEZZEE don’t let it be twins "a boy AND a girl," and don’t let it happen on June 4…Angelina’s B-day. jpf
# 236 | The real lou Thanks TRL, I couldnt have said it better. Angelina Jolie’s words from DATELINE:" People know very little about him, I think, when it comes to where his morals are, where his values are, how he is with people, what he cares about, what he’s learned about. And he’s a very aware person. He’s doing a lot of good things. And he’s a great parent. And so certainly it’s nice to watch him do that. And it’s nice for me to be able to talk about the things I care about and with somebody that does as well."It’s crystal clear to me at least that the man is in an entirely different place mentally, emotionally, and creativly. He’s sharing his life with a kindred spirit, and it’s so evident that this relationship has set many things free in him. Just looking at all he’s done within the last two yrs., what he’s got planned for the future, how he’s just exploded with ideas and revealed so many passions that you know he never felt comfortable pursuing "outloud" before. My guy is on fire, and hey one can’t help but take what AJ said about him as coming from someone in the know; someone Brad has confided his innermost thoughts to, and someone who finally gets him and encourages him in his dreams. jpf
Jon sends his love12.17PM, Fri May 12 2006Jon Voight has sent his well wishes to estranged daughter and mother-to-be Angelina Jolie.Jon has no idea how his daughter is going with the pregnancy but sent his love and hopes the baby will be fit and healthy.He said: "I’m saying a prayer that the baby is healthy like a good dad."And Angelina?He said: "I saw her on TV and she seemed so happy and I’m so grateful about that."Angelina and her father fell out years ago and became involved in a very public war of words.Jon disapproved of his daughter’s choice of husband when she married bad boy actor Billy Bob Thornton.Jon accused Ange of having serious emotional problems and the actress retaliated by saying she wasn’t interested in having a relationship with her father.The actor was speaking to reporters about his daughter’s expected child at the premiere of Poseidon in LA.link: http://www.itv.com/news/entertainment_1073993.html
(((((announcement)))))…*Blink light on flashing* Rica has post the next chapter at the usual thread….this is Rica’s PA system…( sorry for the interruption, now we are back to your regular programing…everyone please continue your post..thank you thank you..*Blink light out*
# 254 | angie news think that if Jon Voight just keep his mouth shut and don’t talk about Angie in the media whether if it something good or not, then maybe he might have a good chance of repairing his relationship with her. What do you guys think?
# 256 | Alexanderina I think the guy loves attention and just doesn’t get that his method’s continue to be seen less about making amends with a daughter, and more about having her acknowledge his existence as her dad. It took me awhile, but even though I believe he loves her in his own way, I think he’s wanting to be on the inside of this phenominom cuz the dude likes the spotlight. I don’t remember one peep out of him talking about being a grandad for Maddox, and damn sure don’t remember him saying anything about wanting to be Zahara’s, but now he can’t shut up about the "biological grandkid". Sorry, but that would tick me off if I was AJ.jpf
Pitt’s Exes To Team Up?May 12, 2006 - World Entertainment News NetworkBrad Pitt’s former loves Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow are planning to team up for a film project.The actresses are in discussions to co-star in a thriller, with Aniston playing the part of the villain, according to Gossipmonkey.com.Shooting has been tentatively scheduled to take place in 2008, as the two screen beauties are currently busy with other commitments.Aniston’s four-year marriage to Pitt, who is now expecting his first child with Angelina Jolie, ended last year. Paltrow split up with the Ocean’s Twelve star in 1997 after a brief engagement.
# 254 | angie news AJ’s father seriously irritates me. You would think that by now he would know that speaking to the media is NOT going to earn him any brownpie points on the Reunite With My Daughter Scale. It just makes her mad, so why does he keep doing it? Wanting to reconsile is great…but she’s already made it known that his actions speak a hell of a lot louder than his words…and his actions say, "This is about me, not her." All he needs to say is, "I’m very happy for her." and not make any further comments.
# 257 | Original jpf JPF…sure…he peeped about being a granddad for Maddox…that’s why they’re not speaking, remember? He’s the one that spilled the beans about her adopting when she hadn’t told anyone and then he calls her looney on tv and puts the adoption in jeopardy. And yet the guy continues to act like he’s clueless about why AJ isn’t speaking to him. He’s just looking to keep his name in the spotlight in case some moronic producer decides to do another "Grumpy Old Men" movie!
# 258 | Rumour Mongerer Yeah…as if. 2 bad actresses = 1 horrific movie. Who the hell would go see it? X’s fans apparently can’t find their way to the movie theater. Paltrow hasn’t got much of a fan base. Neither one of them have had a hit movie in donkey years, so why would anyone pay them to do a flick together? That’s just someone’s publicist with a pretty ****** idea to get publicity. My money’s on Stephen Huvane. He doesn’t seem to have much in the way of morals.
# 257 | Original jpf # 260 | Passing Through I still can’t get over it when he went on TV and called her crazy, I was so angry for Angie when he did that. I don’t care what kind of problems you have with your daughter you just don’t come on national TV and called her crazy with fake tears in your eyes, that is just plain wrong. I know that he is her father but I don’t think that she needs him in her life. I remembered when she said once that "you don’t need blood to make your family" or something along the line like that. Daddy Voight just need to keep him trap shut when it comes to our Angie.
# 261 | Passing Through Oh yeah, they do have the same publicist. I can see this being Stephen Huvane’s idea, it going to be just a waste of money and theaters’ space.
The news is old. There is nothing much to write about since they can’t get to Brad and Angie. Also these days you get news about VV taking BP’s acting job if he doesn’t want to sign up for something or AJ taking up JA’s job if she doesn’t sign up in Plan B production. I’m sure JA and GP teamup is all fabricated. Grandpa Voight has not said anything new either.
# 262 | Alexanderina - he didn’t call her crazy. he said he hoped she got the help that she needed. She is clearly unbalanced, probably chemical, but it’s wrong to call mentally ill people "crazy".
# 262 | Alexanderina - he didn’t call her crazy. he said he hoped she got the help that she needed. She is clearly unbalanced, probably chemical, but it’s wrong to call mentally ill people "crazy".
just curious….why do you think Jolie wore a bloody shirt and blood in a vial in both her first and second marriages if she thinks blood is not so important in making a family?
# 257 | Original jpf # 260 | Passing Through # 262 | Alexanderina 100% agreed with you guys on that. I have never seen AJ’s mother using her daughter for anything….she is always in the background supporting her daughter….why can JV just do that?
# 260 | Passing Through He wasn’t speaking about being the kid’s grandad. He was trying to prevent it. I’m talking about since she’s had the kids I can’t remember him yammering on about being in Mad or Ze’s life, or at least not until she became pregnant….still haven’t heard him mention them to be honest.jpf
# 268 | Estelle IMO? His ego. I bet he’s the kind "ala POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE" who thrives on being the REAL star in the family, and I think he wants to attach hisself to what has become one of the most powerful couples in HW…..one half of which is his kid.jpf
# 267 | alexanderina? - I don’t know why she wore the bloody t-shirt at her first wedding or why she wore a vail of blood around her neck for her second marriage. I am just repeating what she said once; and I also believe that you don’t necessary need your blood relative to be your family especially if there is irrevisable(sp) damages done to your relationship with your blood family. I know people who don’t have any relationship with their blood family but have solid relationship with non-relative family. Sometimes you make your family as you go along in life, and sometimes it blood related and other times it not. And by blood related I mean father/mother/sister/brother
# 267 | alexanderina? She married both men prior to that statement about how blood doesn’t make a family. I’m pretty sure that it was after she adopted Maddox that she said this, and I think she was talking about her dad, or was asked a question regarding why he wasn’t in her life anymore. If I got this wrong, somebody please correct me….jpf
# 265 | to axerina - I understand what you are saying but maybe he did not come out and say that she is crazy but I believe that what he meant because the whole media took it that way as well.
# 272 | Original jpf - I believe you are right about that Original jpf, it was after she adopted Maddox and it was in reference to her dad
# 271 | Alexanderina - I am the adoptive mother of three children. I’ll let you know when I think Angelina "gets it". So far, I don’t.
# 275 | To alexanderina Get’s what? jpf
# 275 | To alexanderina Get what?
Well since To Alexanderina is not responding back to Original jpf and my Posts, I guess she is the one that Don’t "Get It" because I surely don’t know what she is talking about. I am happy she is the adopted mother of three children that is good for her, but don’t get her statement regarding Angelina "I’ll let you know when I think Angelina "gets it". So far, I don’t." Oh well I have a doctor’s appt so I will be back later, maybe then we might get a reply from To Alexanderina
# 278 | To alexanderina Just because you’ve adopted three kids doesn’t make you an expert on motherhood, adoption or the price of cheese in England. YOU don’t get to tell anyone when you think AJ has gotten being an adoptive mother right. You may state your opinion and that’s all any of us can do. For all we know YOU could be an awful mother yourself. Just because you say you’re not doesn’t make it so. So stop judging others when you’re not there 24/7 to have a firsthand observation of how she is with her children. Also, I have an aunt who was a foster mother to dozens of kids and adopted four of them. She’s well into her 80s now and doesn’t have a problem with how Angelina is raising her kids. I’m more inclined to listen to her than you.
Ok, add me to the chorus of "Gets what?" What does Angelina have to "get"?
Ok, add me to the chorus of "Gets what?" What does Angelina have to "get"? # 283 | kidi+++++++++++++Being a mother…and/or being a mother to adopted kids. "To Alexanderina" thinks she’s a freaking expert because she has adopted kids herself.
Hi there BAMZ+1 friends. I hadn’t Seen this video before. I thought I share…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocAP5a_jTKY&search=brad%20pitt
hi all,i came here to take a breather, i just back from the X thread and my head is spinning with the accusations and hatred that is being flung in there. I don’t why i went there, out of morbid curiosity i guess.You know it makes me so mad that JV said that about his own daughter on national TV. If he had a problem to address, couldn’t he do that personally without embarrassing his daughter like that . And he said that his daughter had serious emotional problems, gee i wonder who caused them?! He wasn’t there for Angie’s childhood and then he suddenly figures out she has emotional problems. And to add salt to injury, he further causes her pain by painting her crazy to the world and making her sound like she wouldn’t make a good mother. I remember AJ saying that she didn’t think she would be able to raise a child and be a good mother at one point. No wonder she thought that. When your own Dad says those kinds of things about you. He never wants to solve anything, he just wanted to tell the problem.
# 282 | gulli Waouh, it’s a cool video but it’s hard to believe that BP has completely changed, when you look at Troy première picture when he’s with JA he looks so superficial (IMO) and now it’s like he is totally an another man (that must be AJ influence)
#253 |original jpf|-I totaly agree with you!
i’m coming back but i still wonder how you can live 7 years with a non interisting woman, he was blind or whatelse.Either he was like her or she leads the couple and he said nothing… until AJ came.
Off Topic sorta (but it mentions Angelina Jolie in a good way)——————————Best, Worst for AutographsPublished - May 12 2006 5:25PM EDT | | APLOS ANGELES(AP) Johnny Depp has the write stuff when it comes to signing autographs while Cameron Diaz is the worst, according to a new list Friday from Autograph Collector magazine.Depp, followed by George Clooney, topped the magazine’s 14th annual survey of Hollywood’s best and worst signers. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star also was rated best last year."Many stars become bad signers once fame and fortune hits, but not Depp. He’s even signed autographs for crowds at the airport while carrying luggage," said Steve Cyrkin, editor and publisher of the Santa Ana, Calif.-based magazine.As for Clooney, "he’ll joke as he signs, and make fun of how he looks in photos he’s handed to autograph," Cyrkin said.When it comes to her moniker, however, Diaz gets a flunking grade."Cameron Diaz may be a talented actress, but she’s persistently a terrible signer. Instead of just turning down a person’s autograph request, she’ll lecture them about how dumb autographs are," Cyrkin said.Russell Crowe would have been named as the best of the worst but in recent months he has been much nicer to fans, Cyrkin said in a telephone interview Friday.Cyrkin said the list, which appears in the magazine’s June issue, was based on information from a professional autograph collector and an enthusiastic amateur who is a journalist."They’re the guys who want to get five or 10 or 12 of everything but they do see people" and know the "track records" of the stars, he said."It’s looking at the spirit of the way they sign," Cyrkin said. "It’s how they treat their fans."Here is the list of 10 best and 10 worst Hollywood autograph signers for 2006, according to the magazine:Best1. Johnny Depp2. George Clooney3. Matt Damon4. Al Pacino5. Tom Cruise6. Angelina Jolie 7. Elijah Wood8. Brittany Murphy9. Jack Nicholson10. Clint EastwoodWorst1. Cameron Diaz2. Bruce Willis3. Demi Moore4.

# 286 roja–I wondered the same thing. I imagine they spent much more time apart that everyday couples (making movies etc) and their lives were filled with a lot of glitz and activity and material things that kept them going when the spark started to die down. In their later pictures Brad looks bored; he might not have realized just how bored he was until he met Angie.
# 285 | think positive!You know what, people keep talking about them NOT talking, but he!!, that’s all either of them did with their respective ex’s and we see where they all ended up…KAPUT. I say actions speak a whole lot more than words, and I think they’ve made the wisest of decisions in keeping mum on their private lives and let what they do; how they live tell the story…..so far so good as far as I can tell hee hee!jpf
hello my buddies, so this is where you guys have been hiding, i was on last night but the pages wouldnt load out so i gave up. hows you guys today?
i was listerning to an old album today and i heard this song its a favourite of mine. it kinda made me think of brad and angie and what he may have felt while they were filming Mr & Mrs Smith. what do you think.it is by savage garden,"Chained To You"We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to meActing like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed meAnd I think about it all the timeSweet temptation rush all over meAnd I think about it all the timePassion desire so intense I can’t take anymore becauseI feel the magic all around youIt’s bringing me to my kneesLike a wannabeI’ve got to be chained to youAnd when you looked into my eyes felt a sudden sense of urgencyFascination casts a spell and you became more than just a mysteryAnd I think about you all the timeIs this fate is it my destinyThat I think about you all the timeI no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel becauseI feel the magic all around youIt’s bringing me to my kneesLike a wannabeI’ve got to be chained to youI feel the magic building around youI feel the magic all around youIt’s bringing me to my kneesLike a wannabeI’ve got to be chained to youAnd I think about you all the timeAnd I think about you all the timeYeah I think about it all the timeTell me it’s madness I barely know youWe were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to meTen steps back you’re still a mysteryActing live a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed meI can’t take anymore becauseI feel the magic all around youIt’s bringing me to my kneesLike a wannabeI’ve got to be chained to youI feel the magic building around youI feel the magic all around youIt’s bringing me to my kneesLike a wannabeI’ve got to be chained to youTell me it’s madnessI barely know you
# 289 | Original jpf |Right on. I remember Brad mentioning about the tabloids and mags that he learned how to deal with from Julia Roberts who said, never read them just look at the pictures. And that’s what he says he does. # 290 | stef lHI stef!!! I want to see your myspace. email me at bamzluv1@hotmail.com OK? I’ll show you my webpage…….!:)
Well, I really didn’t want to say this, but I have come to the conclusion that there are few Anniston Fans who are intelligent-They don’t know how to disagree without being disagreeable-They ahe to resort to incoherent, unsubstantiated accusation, threats, death wishes, and criticisms. They just can’t debate. I treid to give some of the the benefit o the doubt, but sorry, they have no substance-He’s a cheater, she’s a *****, Jen is lovely, Angie stole Brad, Brad is terrible. . . They sound like she does in her interviews-Someone posted the Vanity Fair Interview and I was totally shocked that I didn’t see this before. Anniston said she was Shocked, Hurt, lonely, and cried-How can this be if you are the one who filed for the divorce? She makes it seem like Brad gave her an ultimatum and left her-No one, famous, rich, or poor can be married for that long and be shocked and hurt when it ends-She must have been in a coma or something-At my best, I can still improve so I wouldn’t be shocked at anything, but there would be no way I would stand by like she did-Sorry to be stereotypica, but I am a southern girl and we do it just a little different here-Ask Al Green if you don’t believe me!
I know this is horrible of me because I’m sure they’re loving the privacy and no papparazzo around them, but I want some new damn pictures of them. Or some news. # 286 | roja I think he was superficial just like his ex in the beginning but as he got older he decided he wanted more than tanning, walking the red carpet and highlights in his hair.
# 291 | stef - Hiya Stef, I like that song, very cute
# 293 | malibumom |Don’t apologize. I was at the Harper thread and got one reply and it was so off the wall I couldn’t even respond. I agree with you 100%. You have to wonder about what life expereinces they have had to be so closed minded and nasty. I too think a lot of them have been jilted or scorned or dumped…….still not looking at the real reason their guy moved on and blaming it on somebody else or something else. Always outside themselves….That is a strong theme in the Aniston camp.
cool, glad you like it.moi jade i just sent you my, myspace page link.its only a new page so its kinda boring but i have a few pictures.

# 296 | Moi Jade - I remember reading an Article that someone posted I can’t remember if it was on JJ or on Bradforums.Net but the article said that "women who husbands left them or who got cheated on are the ones that are more sympathetic(sp) toward the X and would likely be the ones to lashed out again AJ" dang I can’t remember where I read that Article from.

Moi jade, if anyone will gobcak to the threads concerning BAMZ they would see that the BAMZ fans articulate how they feel and back it up with data and I don’t mean fro the Tabs-I was just at the one with the carousel and it refreshed my heart to see that beautiful smile-There are so many intelligent ppl supporting BAMZ-What a relief!
Why are actors walking the red carpet with their spouses considered as being superficial? Isn’t that the actors’ job to promote movies? Brad is a big movie stars. The producers need him to promote the movies. Does it make Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherpoon looking superficial as well because he accompanied her to several premieres of Walking the Line and those award shows in which she was being nominated? If Brad and Angie walking the red together, are you going to bash them being superficial too?I think that Brad saw Jennifer as a human being with both positive and negative traits and accepting her for that. And I think Brad’s attraction to Angie is more than her beauty.I’m glad that Brad and Angie are happy together. But I don’t think Brad and Jennifer relationship means nothing or oh-so-superficial like several Brangelina fans here trying to make it.
right guys im going to log off now ill log on again in the morning and before i go to london for the night.have a good rest of the day, and if i dont get to before sunday, have a good mothers day, it was mothers day here back at the end of march, so ive already celebrated it here. take care my buddies.till next time,Rock on Bamz+1 love ya.
The fan on ex’s thread are so shallow and sometimes I wonder what kind of education they have. There was a time that all I had to say was for them to stay in school. I’m also glad to be a fan here. Angie’s passion was born out of a spiritual experience and she connected with it with the help of Maddox. Someone once said that Brad also is her spiritual partner and I agree with that. I pray they find peace together.
Thrill of the chaseCNN documentary looks at paparazzi’s obsession with Angelina JolieProducer Bud Bultman has figured out what drives the paparazzi. "It’s the big money, that’s for sure, but it also is the thrill of the chase," said Bultman, one of the people behind the CNN documentary Chasing Angelina - Paparazzi and Celebrity Obsession, which airs tomorrow at 6 p.m. (repeating at 9 p.m., and also on Sunday) on Cable 27. One of the most striking elements of the show is Bultman’s "ride-along" with a paparazzi photographer who is on the trail of Angelina Jolie running an errand in the Los Angeles area. "It’s almost like watching a cop show," Bultman said. "These guys are real detectives. "Your blood gets thumping. He’s co-ordinating with two other paparazzi and they basically are trying to corner prey. And the scene when they finally have her cornered in the parking lot, you get the feeling that you’re going to bag the big one. "Yeah, you get into it, to be honest with you. Not only are they getting the shot they need, but I’m getting the shot I need for the documentary. I couldn’t have scripted it any better." For those who don’t know this (and that included me prior to last week), the word "paparazzi" comes from a movie character. There was a crazed photographer named Paparazzo in the 1960 film La Dolce Vita by Federico Felini. Chasing Angelina does not focus exclusively on the paparazzi. Rather, it looks at various people who do a wide variety of jobs - stars, publicists, publishers, media, etc. - in the celebrity manufacturing industry. Still, the paparazzi obviously are on the front lines, both literally and from an ethical point of view. "People are really interested in seeing celebrities without their makeup, walking out of Starbucks," Bultman said. "They can identify with them, for some reason. It’s like, ‘Oh, they’re not so different from me.’ "It’s not an obsession that I have in that way. But I have to admit, it was kind of interesting to see Angelina Jolie running an errand. I’m not sure why that is." Anyone trying to be cool claims they’re sick of celebrity worship, but the evidence to the contrary gets stronger every day. "Everybody calls the paparazzi sleazebags and scum, but the people doing the criticizing are the same people who buy the magazines," Bultman said. "And the proliferation of celebrity weeklies adds to the frenzy. Ten years ago, People was about the only show in town. Now you have all sorts of them. "The mainstream media certainly is more obsessed with this stuff. The New York Times does stories on Brad (Pitt) and Angelina. And because the electronic media is 24-7 now, it has grown exponentially. It’s getting pretty ruthless." That ruthlessness sometimes leads to confrontations, or traffic accidents, or worse. Starlets like Lindsay Lohan and Scarlett Johansson have blamed fender-benders on aggressive photographers who were in pursuit. And then there’s the case of Diana, Princess of Wales, who was killed on a night when her admittedly intoxicated chauffeur was trying to ditch the paparazzi. So how much celebrity fascination is too much? "That’s a good question," Bultman said. "As an objective journalist, it’s hard for me to say one way or the other. "We ask people, has it peaked? Twenty years from now, are we still going to be this obsessed? Absolutely everybody says it’s not going away." As Chasing Angelina points out, 20 years from now the Brangelina baby is going to be starting college. Photo op!

# 299 | Alexanderina It was here, Alexanderina. I hardly ever go to Bradforums.net and I remember the article, too. Didn’t necessarily agree with it, but I do remember it.
# 305 | cat |This may be my take on the red carpet bit, but I think what people are eluding to is that you never saw them doing anything that society might deem "worthwhile". The red carpet is ALL you ever saw them doing. No stories about working at the soup kitchen one day a week or tending sick kids at local hospitals, etc….charitable works. All you tended to get was pictures of them on vacation or the red carpet looking tanned and toned and vapid. People certainly never thought that BP had much of a brain or that he was using what brains he had wisely. And frankly I don’t think people expected anything out of X other than what she presented to the public. Unfortunately what she’s showing the public IS all there is to her. And that’s really pathetic. So what you will about AJ…but what you see physically is NOT all there is to her.

guli…thank you for sharing that video. I love it! It’s going to help tide me over this dry spell awaiting The Birth of +1, or any new pictures of the Most Beautiful Family in the World! I am wishing Angie will have a most fantastic Mother’s Day. And Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there!
Brad has been my first and only celebrity love since IWTV (i was 14!). I lost his track when he married X. But now I admire him more, because I think that must be hard with all the mean gossip about his LIFE, his WOMAN, his KIDS and his CAREER. I love you Brad!
#307 fan—They use LOTS oF CAPS and !!!!!! on X’s threads, lots of accusations towards the perceived misdeeds of Brad and Angie, and not much else.
Ok off the subject alittle. On AOL they a have rapper "echoing" the MAMS movie, it’s kind of cute.Not hard core rap. It is called "I Love My Chick". It is by Busta Rhymes, and Gabrielle Union plays Jane Smith.The chorus part, sorry not good with singing, I love my chickI love my babyMy lady never lets me downthats why I’ll never let her goI love my baby…………..etcIt is cute and the whole video they act out parts in the movie.Not sure I would like the song if I hadn’t seen the video, but knowing the movie, it is kind of a cathchy little tune. FYI. Sorry, don’t have a direct link, but it is on AOL home page now, I think for next 24 hours.
Dear Ted:How interesting that you were one of the many to mock Life & Style for reporting TomKat’s "breakup," yet you now claim the wedding’s not going to happen. Care to be consistent? Elle Weber Davis, CaliforniaDear Katty:Oh, please, the rag reported that, like, 262,000 pairs of shoes ago for Katie. Does that mean I get credit for, say, 11 months from now, when Angelina finally breaks Brad’s heart–as we all know is going to happen–just because I was the first to predict it?

Since we do not have any new pictures of Angie or her family, could we share any new video or new fiction?
# 318 | JustinfromTedC | He’s been saying the same thing since they got together.Probably shocked him when they announced the pregnancy. Plus it doesn’t seem like he has anymore insiders giving him the goods on B&A. The last thing one of Brad friends told Ted c was " I thought they were already married". that was months ago. He lost his B&A insiders/sources…just like the tabloids.
StefI sent you an email. You are so pretty. Such awesome aspirations. Wishing all your dreams come true!
# 318 | JustinfromTedC Ted C. is a hack. he’s annoying to read because he’s trying so hard to be avant-garde. he has no clue about what’s going on in namibia and it pisses him off. besides, he wants brad for himself.
On Brad and Angelina splitting: If Brangelina split, they split. But I actually don’t think they will, at least not within 11 months from now. They will have children to hold that relationship together. I don’t think Ted C who is gay, actually understands what an enormously strong tie having children together in a relationship actually creates. Of course, if the relationship is rotten to the core, then children can’t save the relationship and I would predict that Britney and K fed will split up at some stage. I’m just surprised and disappointed that Britney hasn’t done that yet but perhaps because they have a kid (and no 2 on the way).However, the view is that Angelina will walk out on brad but my question is why would she? She split up with Jonny Miller because she was just too young to be married - I mean, for heaven’s sakes, just 19 or 20 when they married. But she walked out on BBT very deliberately, because they had nothing in common and because he wasn’t ready for fatherhood with Maddox. She then was celibate for more then a year and without a rebound relationship for more then 2 years (the sex in the hotel room doesn’t really count as relationship, its just sex). Her relationship with Brad is actually her first real relationship, since the split with BBT in 2001 and is no rebound relationship. She entered into this relationship with Brad very deliberately, knowing that it would hurt Maddox if the relationship failed. She’s allowed her 2 children to be adopted by Brad - losing sole control over them. What would Ted C or anyone who does not have children really understand about the fear a woman has about losing her children. I don’t think any one who has not had children can really understand a mother’s worst nightmare. Reading her interviews since Maddox’s adoption, I do think that she acts, as far as she can, very carefully.I really don’t believe any woman, including Angelina (alpha female or not) would walk away from an alpha male loving father of her own children unless the man was a real jerk (ie wife basher, drunk, etc).
# 318 | JustinfromTedC This guy never like Brad and his ex Jen, he’s the one who said Brad will not sign in for OC13 and a week after the director announced Brad will join the group. last year, he was sure Brad and Angie are dating from his source but predicted it was just a fling not until the pregnancy come, he was shock!
Ted C. is a hack. he’s annoying to read because he’s trying so hard to be avant-garde. he has no clue about what’s going on in namibia and it pisses him off. besides, he wants brad for himself. # 328 | gitane+++++++++++LOL! Ted C wants all the hunky men for himself!Still, I like Ted C. He’s right about stuff more than most gossip columns. He doesn’t care for X at all, so I’ll give him a thumbs up for that one. He gets a thumbs down on B/A, though. I think he’s like a lot of people who don’t want to see AJ "domesticated". I call it growing up. I think there are a lot of people selling her short when it comes to this relationship. She’s been pretty adamant about not letting men into her children’s lives, so I think she turned a corner with BP and hope Ted’s wrong on this one. And yeah…he’s pissed…like the rest of the media…that B/A have closed off all the leaks. As a matter of fact I think the media is pretty freaking stunned. They’re used to getting their way with celebs and now they’re not in control and it pisses them off. Poor babies.
#329 lylian Great comments.
People predicted Brad and X will stay together forever and they were wrong. It is to Brad and Angie’s advantage if their relationship is under-rated. They’ve passed the one-year mark despite all that we’ve heard about them. The secret of the success of the relationship is between them and no one really understands it. I think they are going to be together for the long haul.
# 331 | Passing Through– Hi ya stranger. Wazzz Up??? Darn it I stayed up too late thanks to you, Jezz I paid for it today. But, we went to a happy hour later, so I am up and running :). Just wanted to say hi!
# 329 | lylian I read an old interview the other day…I’ll hunt it down if I can…where AJ talks about finding, and I paraphrase, "a long-term, life partner" and how she didn’t know if she’d ever find someone because she was looking for a man who had similar interests and goals and wanted a family the way she does. I think she’s made a very consciencious effort to not put her children in the same situation she was in as a child. Not that Brad would ever be a deadbeat dad, but I think she was looking for a man who wouldn’t bail when the going gets tough. After spending 7 years in a relationship that went nowhere I think AJ knows that BP is not a man who’s going to cut and run at the first sign of trouble.
Why does everyone think it would be Angie dumping Brad? Didn’t she look like a happy camper on the Dateline interview? Just because she’s been an independent woman doesn’t mean she can’t fall in love and commit to the right guy. I do think she wouldn’t have Brad co-parent unless she was pretty damn serious about him. And she talked about both of them adopting more in the future, together. It just irritates me when she is painted as some callous heartbreaker who takes relationships lightly. Ted C. doesn’t know what he’s talking about–as if these two would confide in him or anyone else for that matter about these issues.

# 331 | Passing Throughi can’t read Ted C. he’s too coy and catty. i like my gossip straight up.# 336 | kidi people in general don’t believe in change. any argument they have against angelina is about her past. they refuse to see the woman she is now and applaud her for overcoming her "darkness." so they assume that she’s suppressing her wildness and that she’ll return to her old ways and dump brad in the process. they see her as the aggressor in the relationship and the person most likely to bail.my opinion is that angie has the most to lose in this. her children make her the most vulnerable. she’s opened her life and her heart to brad as a partner. she’s already stated that any man who entered her life would have to be a father to maddox and therefore permanent. there are now three children in the picture and she doesn’t want them to have the same broken childhood she had. so, i see angie in this for the long haul. she’s made her decision that brad is THE MAN. brad has the life of his dreams. he’s not going anywhere any time soon. he stuck with x for 7 years with no returns on his investment. he can easily double that with aj.
If any one who would walk out of this relation. I’m sure it’s not Angelina, this girl had been searching for the right guy for the last 2 year with her beauty she can junp to another relation right after her divorce with BBT, but she was cautious and maturer this time. while married to John and BBT, she didn’t fool around. She had gave so much in this relation , giving Brad a baby at the peak of her career where so many A-list actress will rather delay it, share her adopted kids with Brad, career and image at risk after this scandal, I really admire her courage and devotion to Brad, all the bashing and heat was on her especially last year , but didn’t hear her uttered a word, ( This girl was honest, I believe her word they didn’t cheat ) . and she did said for several times if she would have another ralation, this guy would be the father of her child and would be forever and last. and l the latest Dateline interview, they are planning for more kids.I agree with #329 Lylian on this…. really don’t believe any woman, including Angelina (alpha female or not) would walk away from an alpha male loving father of her own children unless the man was a real jerk (ie wife basher, drunk, etc).
Thank ladybug! This video is sooooooooo funny! Very well made and the song is good!
Loved all the comments on putting Ted C back in his place. Particularly from Passing Through and Kidi - you women really know how to positively state the case! Perhaps you should write to Mr. C to correct his misconceptions.I did a baaad thing before. I wandered over to the X thread. I didn’t post though! It really pissed me off that she had more posts than this one! lmao In an interesting side note, my yahoo updater just sent me a link from Killer Movies repeating the "rumor" that Brad hasn’t finalized O13. It WAS the same wording as previously noted, so I don’t know if it’s any more true for the new site posting it.
I did a baaad thing before. I wandered over to the X thread. I didn’t post though! It really pissed me off that she had more posts than this one! lmao # 342 | Original Curious +++++++++++++++++OC…I think you guys are all looking at this from the wrong perspective. There’s ONE X thread with more posts than this one…BUT…how many BAMZ threads are there over 1,000 and they can’t even get that many on an X thread if she spent the whole night submitting posts herself. We quadruple their output in our sleep! Plus…if certain BAMZ people would quit posting over there they wouldn’t have so many posts!
#341 Mich,You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it. The song is quite catchy if you like MAMS. I actually like the song now because of the video "echoing" MAMS. I thought it was cute.
Hi everyone,I just left the Rumours thread…..Wow, you guys were…are marvellous, beautiful, outstanding, funny…ehmm excuse me a sec *AG consults her Thesaurus*Alright where was I….ah yes, Superb, Fantastic, Brilliant, magnificent….and so much more.Thank you, I had a very nice time reading conva…well I did until I got to the last post with the message asking if we thought AJ will want usas fans because of the….how did she put it….ah CATTY remarks. HA!Are we talkingabout Ted C? Okay, I have a confession to make….I can never understand what that guy writes. Does he make up his own words and if so is there a glossory? Anyway, what did he say now?
# 312 | Passing ThroughShould I put some sort of announcement prior to my comment that I’m not a star basher? I’m not a fan of both Angie and Jennifer. I consider myself only a real fan of a few movie stars whom I either greatly admire their talents, their movie choices or some unique quaility they bring on screen. I feel indifferent towards most stars. Hell, I don’t even dislike Tom Cruise or Paris Hilton.I’ve seen Angie since she started getting famous. I did watch Gia and some of her movies. I’ve never bashed her life style or her marriage with BBT. I’m glad that it seemed like she finally found thing (the charity stuff) that she’s passionate about and so happy. So, it’s not only her beauty that I think of her. I used to like this blog because it seemed like the only blog that people do not bash both Brad and Angie so rudely. But conversely, in order to idealise and glorify Brangelina, they bash Jennifer and Brad-Jennifer marriage instead and sometimes, even Brad himself. Gosh, look at those Jennifer posts, gazillion comments bashing on her look/beauty (or non).In Brad’s interview, he didn’t consider his marriage a failure, he’d been with Jennifer for longer period than any of his prior relationships. He probably sees it as a half full glass but others see it as half empty. Some fans even implied that he must be as shallow or superficial as Jennifer, if not, how could he have been with her for so long? Even before Brad and Angie being together, from Brad’s interview, he mentioned Angie’s dedication to Maddox and the charity stuff. Please correct me if I’m wrong, He just became her friend during MAMS shooting and he seemed to understand her so well. What about his wife? How wouldn’t he understand her, her imperfection and her determination to be successful on her own? He’s an actor himself, I think he understands that issue very well. He did support Jennifer back then similarly to the way he currently supports Angelina. He’d accompanied Jennifer to those award shows in which her or her show getting nominated or other events/ premieres and Jennifer’d done the same for him as well. He accepted being a guest star on Friends for her. And someone mentioned that Plan B was initially established for finding good roles for Jennifer. When they apparently wanted different things in life and no longer be able to compromise, they separated, he was so civil to her, he talked good things about her (well, I don’t know his opinion after Jennifer’s VF interview which I really hate). With Angie, he’s done what Angie’s previous men not being so interested, he accompanied her to do various countries, doing the charity stuff. Angie herself mentioned in her interview that she was glad she could talk to someone (him) who cared. Brangelina haters and some fans accuse him of morphing into her or starts to show some substances after meeting her, likes the first forty years of his life and his previous relationships were meaningless. Some Angie fans even accused him of trying to steal Angie’s thunder. I found it really insulting. And what about being so against walking the red carpet? Angie’d done it herself many times because it’s part of her job, probably in the contracts. Many stars do it, and some of them not being so dedicated to the charity stuff but why are Brad and Jennifer often insulted as being superficial?Re: the charity thing. People have different compassions/interests. I admire Angie for her dedication for chariy but I don’t see any less of people who are not interested. I don’t judge people on how they choose to spend their time and money. I agree with # 335 | malibumom’s comment on that Harper’s Bazaar post. http://www.justjared.com/gossip/2006/05/jennifer-aniston-in-harpers-bazaar/?page=4#commentsAnd If I recall correctly, she’s Brangelina fan as well.Re: Being tanned. It does happen for people living in California or loving to spend their time outdoor. Look at Brad and Angie, they arrived Namibia in early April and from their latest pictures (end of April), they’re so beautifully tanned.
# 342 | Original Curiousdon’t be upset at the number of post on x thread. i’ve read most of them and they’re mostly x-bashing. the x fans are drowning. anyway, bamz has at least 3 threads going right now, one of them over 1500 posts. i’m getting dizzy with posting on all of them.
# 339 | gitane | May 12, 2006 10:45 PMTotally agreed ! thumbs up!If Brad can endure 7 years with his self-adsorbing, selfish ex for 7 yrs, with Ang, sharing a common passion and love of kids, it’s definitely more than double. while Angie, she can give an unconditional love to her adopted kid , to Brad and their biological kid ,it certainly will be desame or even more . Ted C will never be a mother, he don’t know the feeling of mom, the moment your baby push out from your womb, no words could describe those feeling, unconditional love and protection forever. and Why should Ang run out of this relation, she had more to loose. kids, career, image.
# 345 | African Girl this is what Ted C. had to say:Dear Ted:How interesting that you were one of the many to mock Life & Style for reporting TomKat’s "breakup," yet you now claim the wedding’s not going to happen. Care to be consistent?Elle WeberDavis, CaliforniaDear Katty:Oh, please, the rag reported that, like, 262,000 pairs of shoes ago for Katie. Does that mean I get credit for, say, 11 months from now, when Angelina finally breaks Brad’s heart–as we all know is going to happen–just because I was the first to predict it?Eonline - Ted Casablanca May 12thand, you’re not supposed to understand half of what he writes because he makes up his own words/slang/expressions. it’s his "thing" to set himself apart from the other gossipmongers.
# 348 | guccithanks. the assumption is that angie’s going to get bored and move on. the people who are waiting for that moment obviously don’t care to pay any attention to anything she says. since she got maddox she’s talked about how she’s changed, how she can’t consider doing anything destructive or bringing darkness into the lives of her children. and, once again, about how bringing any man into her children’s lives would have to be a permanent decision. Ted C. and his ilk are all about the facade, they don’t care to look any deeper or move on from the past so he writes his crappy little predictions based on things that aren’t true anymore.
# 346 | cat Hi cat, you made some valid points but I do have issues with certain parts of your post.You wroteBut conversely, in order to idealise and glorify Brangelina, they bash Jennifer and Brad-Jennifer marriage instead and sometimes, even Brad himself. Gosh, look at those Jennifer posts, gazillion comments bashing on her look/beauty (or non).Idealise and glorify? No, That’s not what we are doing here. We are looking at them as what they are…Human beings with human failings. Personally, I wouldn’t put someone down for their looks and I find it irksome when others do BUT it’s not JA who gets it, AJ has received her own fair share but for some reason, people don’t have a problem with that (puzzling)I believe the debate over red carpet started when JA fans kept going on and on that BP and JA, Golden Couple, were meant to be together forever because they looked good on the red carpet. Honestly, is that really a good excuse to stay in a troubled marriage? So, In order to show them how idiotic that was, "the red carpet walk" was brought down to the basics….which is at the end of the day it is nothing.You also said Some Angie fans even accused him of trying to steal Angie’s thunder. I found it really insulting. I’m sorry but where do you get that from? I have not seen any post that states that, as a matter of fact, the people who post here are pleased AJ has found a partner who shares the same intrests.About Charity, again this issue became a debating point because JA fans ridicule AJ’s work with the UN. I know charity isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but don’t condemn the people who are doing it. In their attempt in defending JA, they trivialize AJ’s work….That isn’t right.If don’t take anything from my post, please take this - we respect their marriage and the years they spent together but it is over. He has entered a new phase in his life….they both have and it would be nice if AJ fans accepted it. I have one question…Are you the same person from the Rumors thread? The reason I ask is because I explained on that thread that the reason why there seems to be less posts from JA fans is because Jared deleted them. The posts were to sick to be left up.
# 87 | Original Curious"I never liked TC, but, he really went down farther in my books when he left KH and baby right after the birth."As you know, that’s become Keith Olbermann’s standing joke about Tom Cruise favoring self-promotion even as he spent 3 hours plus telling the press and fans that he liked spending time with his family…while leaving his family at home to themselves. I don’t know about Katie, but maybe it’s best Tom limits his time with them. Good gracious with all that Scientology auditing and we still have wacked-out Cruise lacking self-awareness, resulting in his career implosion. # 279 | Passing Through"Also, I have an aunt who was a foster mother to dozens of kids and adopted four of them. She’s well into her 80s now and doesn’t have a problem with how Angelina is raising her kids."Nice personal testimony from someone we actually know instead of a anonymous hater who could be posting from a "corrections facility." Rest of your message, spot on!# 318 | JustinfromTedCOkay, Teddy C., you’re a gossip writer not a relationship expert so save the predictions for relaying so-called leaked gossip. I actually can’t stand his cutesy-in-his-own-mind Tedisms, so I don’t read his columns regularly - maybe only once in a blue moon. I don’t have a problem with his gossip per se, but leave the snarky, caustic writing to Lainey. AG, you’re not missing anything of Ted’s isms. I think he’s the only one who thinks he’s being witty when wit ran away from him when ink hit paper. No, I’ve always thought that about his phrases even before he said anything about Brad and Angie. My allegiances and likes or dislikes aren’t fickle.
Okay, I admit to reading the Harper Bazaar thread and for the most part, it’s harmless because it’s mostly BAMZ fans there. Those X fans must be dying off like flies. # 154 | Maniston"Again Maniston fans need to come with their A game to stump Brangelina fans."I’m not posting to the X thread so instead I’m copying that line from there because I like it that much! What a coincidence that on the same day, I was thinking about the term "A game" to Brad’s "Plan B" name for his production company. Maniston used it in a much better context of trumping the X fans.
# 282 | gulli thanks guli for this video…oh silly me…you know i cried while watching this video…i keep replaying it…it is so romantic…and i really believe that these two finally found each other…i cried with happiness…crazy ha?? Now at last angie found her soul mate…whatever the circumstances that brought them together…nobody can deny that they love each other…both of them are in the peak of their career and it seems like a career suicide to be seen together but they chose to be with each other and didn’t care what others were saying…despite all the backlash…criticism…hate…negative comments, they remained quiet and never rebutted nor explained their side of this saga/sideshows because they know each other…what they want and expect from each other…love, support and respect…imo…they are so in love and I love them…sigh…I can’t wait for the new baby’s arrival!!Bamz+1 rocks and rules!!
# 282 | gulli Thank You, That was something. Wow! They’ve come far. I wish the all the best.
I’ve found this commentary on the Defamer site that is foretelling bad omens even of the fixed-up BreakUp ending. Vince and X should just throw in the towel and lose the charade of still dating just for the movie. So I read on Defamer that test audiences hated the end of the movie because Jen and Vince don’t stay together…but I saw a test screening of it last night at Universal (yeah, I was recruited at AMC in Burbank), and at the panel afterwards, pretty much everyone HATED the new ending they tacked on to make it seem like they got back together…and I mean hated it.Defamer
hey guys…i am being bad…i saw this one in youtube…even in commercial they make fun of the x…it is so funny…lolhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-wy_b2mkS0&search=aniston
# 346 | cat Cat, I really don’t think we’re that far apart in what we’re saying. The problem that I have with the red carpet personas that BP/JA projected is that, especially for X supporters, that’s ALL they see…the superficial. I don’t go over to the X threads because quite frankly I’d rather slit my wrists than waste time over there with that crowd. But, they come to the BAMZ threads in droves to tell us how bad BP looks now with AJ and how golden he was with X. WTF does it matter how he LOOKS if the man wasn’t HAPPY? That’s the bottom line. Looks can be deceiving and in their case it was. BUT, the X fans don’t see it that way. They think all the problems in that marriage started and ended with AJ and refuse to acknowledge the serious problems that existed in the marriage for 2 years prior to AJ working with BP on M&MS. If you point that out to them, then their entire rebuttal will be about how bad BP looks now compared to then. The guy cleans up nicely, but they won’t admit that either. As far as the charity issue, the fact is this…if X is involved in some kind of charitable endeavor, then she’s hiding it like it’s one of the seven deadly sins. Most celebs use their celebrity to further their causes. X has never done this and you have to ask yourself why? Are there no mysteries to this woman? Is everything in her life really about HER? And if so, then it’s no wonder her marriage failed. There comes a point in your life where you look around and see the world isn’t all about you and apparently BP’s was at that place BEFORE he met AJ and working with her illustrated to him how much better his life could be if he opened himself up to helping others. From what I can gather it’s something that he discussed with X and she pretty much blew him off. It wasn’t glamorous enough and it did nothing to further her career, plus she’d have to leave home to do it, so why bother? You asked what’s wrong with her wanting a successful career. Well, nothing’s wrong with it. But don’t spend 7 years with a man knowing he wants children and continually put him off and expect him to wait forever for you to be ready. He gave her the time and space she wanted for 7 years, even approached her about adopting and the one time he asks something in return she says, "What about my career?" That bull. If you love someone and you’re committed to making the relationship work, then you compromise. As an outside observer, to me, it looks like HE did all the compromising and let her have her way. When he thinks they’ve reached an agreement to start a family she goes behind his back and signs up for 3 movies in addition to the 3 she’s already got on her plate? Where’s the compromise in her? I don’t see it. And having said that about X/BP, I certainly hope that AJ doesn’t follow that same pattern of behavior because admittedly she is stubbornly independent, but her issues are a whole other topic.As for the tanning thing…well, come on. X tans like it’s a religious experience. That’s all this woman is ever seen doing - tanning, going to get her hair done, shopping, walking the red carpet…and now drinking and gambling with VV. BP & AJ are tanned because they’re on vacation in Africa. They’re not sitting topless on their patio in a bikini drinking margaritas and talking to their friends on the phone. Or going to the beach to yell at the ocean or whatever that lame-ass thing was she said she was doing. Let me be clear…I don’t have a problem with being tanned. My problem is with why she’s spending so much time tanning. Oh, because she thinks it makes her look better, that’s why. Once again, we’re back to the superficial and shallow and ME, ME, ME, ME, ME attitude that X displays all the time. It’s tiresome and boring and shallow. Like I said…with X…what you see isn’t only what you get, it’s all there is.
# 356 | cindy2 Okay…so they hate the new ending…but how about the rest of the film? It’d be nice to know if it’s a total dud or not.
Well said PASSING THROUGH… And we do hope these freaks will read it. If they believe it then good & if not well that’s their problem. Sometimes we think like no matter how thorough your explanations & reasoning you put into it, "these" haters will not accept it. Their minds are fixed just on one narrow lane. Even the rule of law you have to listen to all the evidences, right? But most of them cannot comprehend & will not get an open mind. We guess HATE IS THE BIG FACTOR to this. It is sad but it is true.
Wow, gulli, #282 @ 4:51pm: Loved that video! BAMZ fans, I am returning from my self-imposed banishment, in protest over the dreadful "results" of the ill-fated Mother’s Day poem contest, to tell you all how much you will love the video posted by gulli in #282 on this thread. It is so great. What is that song? I would love to have a copy of the video. They are gorgeous, and this person found many smiling versions of pictures that were never published. Hello to everyone while I am here, but must go back to my banishment. ( Stef, I love your picture. I had visualized you before looking like Renee in Bridget Jones!) Good - bye, all!
# 361 | AddictedtoBAMZ+1I forgot what BAMZ thread I read the protests about the winning entries for the Mother’s day poem besides that poem thread itself, and then I remembered I wanted to leave a message about it. So, I’m gonna piggyback on your message, AddictedtoBAMZ+1, to put a different spin and perspective on it. *Putting on my Simon Cowell hat* As much as the winning entries blow, in the end, it’s a contest Jared didn’t have to put on. So it’s his choice of who is the winner and I don’t think he’s made any pretenses what his taste is. Regardless of the winner, you all who participated have to admit you had fun coming up with your haikus (me, I’d rather commit hari kari as I’m not into poems either). For several days, you were enjoying it. Instead to all the ladies who submitted genuinely lovely poems, go buy your moms and yourself to a moth orchid in celebrating Mother’s Day. You can’t go wrong with moth orchids except with my mother, who doesn’t have a light hand in watering. Treat yourself well, and forget about the poem contest. I’ll bet it would get interesting if Jared offers a contest awarding the unrated MAMS DVD for the person predicting the most accurately on the Jolie-Pitt baby.
Brangelina fans are gonna love this photo of Angie in a swimsuit! Now I know what Brad sees in her…so attractive! http://tinyurl.com/rxst6
# 351 | African GirlHi! I know that not only Jennifer who is being bashed. I used to visit other celebrity gossip forums which I’m no longer interested because of too idiotic bashing and rudeness. They seem to gain some happiness from bashing celebrities. They tried so hard to find Angie’s physical flaws and bashed her (Her arms were ugly). But unfortunately, that’s the same thing some Brangelina fans and Jennifer haters do as well.Maybe you don’t see it, but from my observation lately, it’s been so obvious about Brangelina being idealised and glorified. Brad and Angie may have more in common than their previous spouses which makes it seem like they’re so absolutely perfect and compatible in most fans’ opinions.And if Brangelina and Angie are oh-so-perfect, in their opinions, Brad’s previous marriage and Jennifer must be so awful. Strangely, I’ve never seen Angie’s previous marriages and ex-husbands being bashed like this before, even though the reason of break-up (for BBT case) was not much from Brad and Jennifer. Their priorities are appparently different.But like other normal couples, I believe that Brad and Angie have issues/conflicts that they need to work out. I don’t think that they don’t see each other’ flaws. I don’t know how far they want to compromise and be patient with each others. And I don’t even want to speculate whether the overexposure and public obsession of their relationship will affect their career and relationship or not. I hope they manage to make it work.Re: the red carpet thing. I think that each couple has their own way in dealing with their problem. Some couples may give up immediately after a couple of fights. Some couples may try to work it out until it’s obviously hopeless. Have you ever read Lainey’s column which seems pretty popular among Brangelina fans? She often mentions the trouble behind Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s marriage. You may or may not agree, but I have seen their candid pictures for years, and they’re always on their own. Well, besides their latest pictures together, suddenly during the award season, they’re together in several premieres/award shows. I think that even with their trouble, it didn’t mean that he didn’t want her to win. Like other movie stars, they knew that the public image is important for their career and crucial for her during that time. And Ryan was willing to support for that. I’ve never seen anyone here or elsewhere accusing them as being superficial. That accusation seems to only be used for Brad-Jennifer relationship."I’m sorry but where do you get that from?"From one of Angie Fan Forums. I wanted to check Brangelina news. It irritates me because when Brad being supportive to his wife/partner, it comes back and bites his ass, consistently being bashed by bother fans and haters.Re: charity. I know what you mean. Maybe it’s just too overexposed or people always look for bad things from people they hate. But what about the latest annoying trend that some fans (or even haters) seem love to accuse other celebrities who show any interests in charity or wearing black that OMG! HOW DARE THEY COPY ANGIE? And if they don’t show any interest, they will be accused of being so shallow and never be as great as Angie. This is no-win situation. And not only Jennifer who always wears black, one of Brad’s ex-girlfriend, Gwynneth Paltrow often wears black as well, like most of New Yorkers. Are Angie Fans going to accuse her and others too? "Are you the same person from the Rumors thread?"No, I’m not. This is only thread I commented.
thank you guy for your comments, im blushing now, with regards to where i would like to work, i would love to try anything, films would be good, while im in the states next year i will certainly try something, i fell i have too, and that i will kick myself for years after.anyway, again thank you, im just getting ready to drive to london now, were leaving earlier as its a lovely day and can do something before dinner.take care till tomorrow guys.Rock on BAMZ+1 love ya.
#282 Guli: I tried to view but message shown was vid unavailable. Do you have the date of the video?
Man Wants Money From Brad and Angie’s Baby Photos to Go to Army Family By JESSICA GOLDENMay 12, 2006 — Hey Brad, Angelina, here’s the chance to do something for your country. Why not sell your $3 million highly coveted baby photo to, say, someone who really needs it. Thats the goal behind a new Web site helpanarmyfamily.com, created by Matt Ward, whose brother-in-law, an Army corporal, is serving his second 18-month tour of duty in Afghanistan. "I’m requesting that Brad and Angelina let someone who actually needs the money turn in the photo to the media as opposed to the paparazzi, already making millions," Ward said. While Ward’s brother-in-law fights bravely for his country, his family is fighting a battle of their own back home. "My sister works at a national restaurant chain making minimum wage and is barely able to put food on the table," said Ward. He said that his sister’s family didn’t receive any payments from the military until he was leaving for his second tour. Ward’s sister and brother-in-law don’t know anything about this campaign on their behalf. "They would KILL me if they knew I was doing this," he said. "My brother-in-law loves his country, and he would be upset that we are hurting the reputation of the Army, but his family is hurting more back at home." But Who Really Gets the Money? Ward hopes to turn this campaign into a larger effort to help families beyond his own. Ward started an organization called the Robin Hood Group, which will encourage other celebrities to contribute their photos to support American military families in desperate need.Cindi Guagenti, Pitt’s spokeswoman, issued the following statement regarding Ward’s request: "What Brad and Angelina decide to do with the baby’s photograph is private and not up for public auction so people can benefit themselves." Tom O’Neal, senior editor for InTouch Weekly, doesn’t believe this campaign will have much success. "The goal of the Web site is noble, but it’s not realistic," he said. "Stars are notoriously vain and they tend to want the best photographers to take these pictures … not some snap-and-shoot disposable camera."And E.L. Woody, who calls himself the king of paparazzi, said Ward’s campaign will have zero impact on him and the other paparazzi "The stars needs us as much as we need them. Without us they wouldn’t be where they are today," Woody said. O’Neal said that contrary to popular belief, the money for celebrity photos usually ends up going more to the stars than the paparazzi. For example, he said proceeds from Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s sought-after first baby photos didn’t end up where they said it would. "Even though Britney and Kevin promised to donate the money to a needy cause, follow-up inquiry says the only personal charity the money went to was Kevin Federline’s," O’Neal said.
this man wants tomkat baby money, britney baby money, lindsay logan pic money….all celebrity pics MONEY for HIS cause.
And why would she ever leave him you ask? There are many obstacles that could befall these two but let’s look at the age difference. 12 years is NOT a small thing. You talk about Brad & Jen breaking up because they were in different places in their lives, well, it could happen here too. Brad may be in Namibia now, but I bet everything I have that it’s just to appease Angelina. If he had his way, he would not be there and he wouldn’t be giving his baby a Namibian name either (in case that rumor turns out to be true). His life is in the US, his family is there his business is there and MOST IMPORTANTLY he’s comfortable there. I’m sure he wants his kids to be knowledgeable of the world but he also wants them to know their own country too and have their home base there because no matter what Angelina thinks, this kid of theirs is NOT an African but an American!And I have a feeling that all this running around will start to wear thin on him too. She will keep going like the energizer bunny but I think Brad will want a little balance for himself and the kids. I think he’ll recognize that the kids need friends to grow up with and all of that kind of stuff and she might resist that and then they have a problem. Will he agree to settle full-time in Paris? Do you think he’ll actually try to learn the language? I doubt it.(To be continued in next post.)
Personally. I never liked her. But when she hooked up with Brad I was completely fascinated by them both and I think their union is the most exciting thing to come out of Hollywood in a LONG TIME. But I thought that if he hooked up with her then she must have turned a corner and was no longer the total nut job that she was, and even though she’s been more dignified (the dateline interview notwithstanding), she’s still a little nuts and IMHO very selfish. It has never sat right with me that she high-tailed it out of the US and completely shut out his family (and hers too, for that matter) from experiencing this pregnancy with her. If she cared at all in getting to know the Pitt family and becoming a part of their family, then this is an odd way to do that. If Jane Pitt is still in regular contact with Jennifer, then Angelina is partly to blame. If Jane doesn’t care for Angelina, then who could blame her? Brad is her oldest child and the last to have kids and it’s a momentous thing in a family for your oldest son to have children and since they are so close, I think they always assumed they’d be a part of this. This must be terribly disappointing for them.If Brad and Angelina break up, her life will go on as it was and as I think—deep down—she prefers it: totally independent and beholden to no one but her kids. She’ll re-acquire her lovahs and Shimizu will again meet her in the jungles of Cambodia and she’ll be ok. Brad will have to deal with the fact that his kids are in the jungles of Cambodia with Shimizu and will go in the record books as the children who have seen the inside of most of the airports in the world and he’ll have to go chasing them all over the world just to spend time with them. He won’t be ok. But then again, that’s if they break up.
# 370 | jizzy—————-Obviously, you do not know Angelina.
# 370 | jizzyYou sound a lot like Angelina’s Fans who don’t care for Brad. She in all likelihood did not persuade him to leave the country, they probably made the decision together. Their time spent in Europe after Davos was probably HIS idea since he’s been heard said in the past that he likes France in the winter. Brad likes to travel as much as Angelina. What they probably didn’t expect is that the PAPs would make their stay unbearable there as it was in the US. Africa was probably her idea as she has many ties there due to her humanitarian work. I’m not gonna try dissuade you of your opinion of Angelina since you hold it very close to your heart. But I will say that Brad has never and probably will never live in his family’s pocket. The most important family unit is the one he has right there in Africa.

The nature of FANDOMBeing a FAN of someone is a strange phenomenon. It basically means that you like and support someone. What it doesn’t mean is that all of the FANs here will like and support all of the same people. It doesn’t mean that all the FANs that like and support the same people will have the same opinion. PERCEPTION colors everything. My PERCEPTION that everything is tinted Blue may conflict with someone else’s PERCEPTION that everything is tinted Red. So what is the TRUTH and how can we recognize it when we see it? I don’t know. The only thing I can tell you is keeping an open mind and putting yourself in that other person’s place may sometimes lead you to change your mind or it may lead you back to the same opinion you had before. But, the TRUTH will never come to you if you are not OPEN to it.
