Brad Pitt's Bike Ride

Brad Pitt was unable to make it this morning’s screening of his film Babel at the Cannes Film Festival. Babel is directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and also stars Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal. Brad, 42, sent his regards via email: "With the imminent arrival of the newest addition to our family, I am unable to join Alejandro, Cate, Gael and the rest of the cast and crew introducing the film. I am tremendously proud of Babel and want to congratulate everyone involved for this great achievement." Brad’s family — pregnant (?) Angelina Jolie, 30, son Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 4, and daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 1 — are still with him on vacation in Namibia. More pictures added to this entry’s gallery from Brad’s Biking Adventure with Maddox and Zahara!

i love that he is not at all vain.

why is this better than Britney’s baby bloopers. Shouldn’t Zarhara be wearing a helmet if she’s strapped on like that>

i mean he doesn´t look heroesque in these pics….besides of course that he might be a hero as a father. :-)

trullesand - he’s vain enough to believe he’s invincible and that he’s not going to take a tumble on that bike and injure the little girl.

stop it with the helmet thing. It could be that since they are in some remote resort town, there was no shop that sold helmets as small as her head. Besides, do you think Brad is a small child who doesn’t know how to handle a bike? He could trip walking with the kid in his arms so spare me the concern for the little child when we all know it’s just a dig to put the man down on his parenting skills.Zahara is safer with him because he cares about her and Angie would kill him if she gets hurt. So there! As an afterthought, poor Agnieska. Her proof just went poof!!

hey bike savety, i think they drive very slowly, so if he fell…but actually i want to say that i find it hard to believe that stars are better people than you and me. everybody make mistakes so don´t judge everybody who´s famous for making one. i don´t want to sound as serious as i do right now. just let´s have some fun! where are the girls who LOVE brad, i want to hear them giggle und fell unconscious because he´s is SO CUTE, damnit.

They look great. I think this settles the debate about whether these are fake or real photos. They are real IMO.

# 7 | Bike Safety | May 23, 2006 04:55 PM Sheesh, you’ve made your point already. You don’t have to keep on repeating it. It gets pretty tiresome.Besides, I’m pretty sure that a man who tears around Malibu in a Ducati can control a bicycle that’s going very slowly (obviously since he’s watching out for Maddox too) so I think a helmet would be a little on the overkill side. Besides, I don’t think there’s a helmet small enough for Z.Finally, I’m glad that those "photoshopped" pictures are finally laid to rest. Thanks, Jared!!! You rock.

ha! i told you i dont supply with dodge photos! thanks jared for getting new ones! right im going to watch Walk The Line now.

I MISS ANGIE!!!!I miss her on the red carpet on interviews and and and and …sigh…

I knew these pics were real. The baby is strapped into the baby backpack. He would have to pass out and fall on his back for her to get hurt.

I wrote a comment but for some reason is not posted….any how, YAHOOO….thank you JJ, you have solve the fake/real pic…..now all we have to deal with is the helmet/no helmet thing…*sigh*…can we just enjoy the pic…

I have just died and gone to heaven.. I love Brad and I love you too Jared. cheers..

I’ve just died and gone to heaven.. I love Brad and I love you too Jared.. cheers!

***********JJ DOES IT AGAIN**********Well I guess this puts all those "fake photo" advocates out of business. They have to find something new to make up.Fun Pictures. I think Zahara knows when there are photographers around. She looks like she’s on the look out for her daddy! LOL!!!

# 5 | tita - I know, she was just going on and on, I wonder what she is going to say now

African Girl @ 05/23/2006 at 5:36 pm

A’ight what happened to my post? It’s not funny…..now I lost my train of thought. Something about getting Bike Safety’s point and there’s no need to keep repeating it. Oh man! It doesn’t sound as effective anymore. Oh well.Thanks Jared, you are truly the best…..Cindy2 is in charge of getting you a li’l some’in some’in. All I have are apples…..

Passing Through @ 05/23/2006 at 5:54 pm

OH MY GOD….MORE FAKES!!!! That was just for Agniezska’s lame ass….

Judging from the fact Brad has to go pretty slow to accompany Maddox on trainer wheels, he isn’t riding very fast at all. Anyway his haters and critics will rate anything he does from how he is holding his chopsticks, so I’d say ignore the bike helmet thing…

Brad makes my loins quiver. Sorry but I had to go there. Hot dayumn!

beautiful.. wonderful. thank you Jared..

Alexanderina @ 05/23/2006 at 6:00 pm

# 20 | Passing Through - You know she will have something to say right, she probably will stick to her theory that the pictures are fake, poor girl lol

I’m just as big of a fan of this family as anyone else here, but the whole have a Brangelina day is just stupid, and when this kind of stuff gets out there, it makes me cringe. It’s just gives people another reason to make fun of the family, even if it is a rumor. I just wish the people of Namibia woud be nice and courteous, but good God, stop going overboard with these kind of insane ideas.

Press Man @ 05/23/2006 at 6:03 pm

More good news for Babel. Take note of the fourth paragraph.21 Grams director takes Babel, tale of global miscommunication, to CannesCANNES, France (AP) - The characters in Babel speak English, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese and sign language. They are illegal immigrants, uneasy travellers and people who feel like strangers in their own homes.For director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (21 Grams), the theme of being an outsider is personal. Babel, with Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and a strong ensemble cast, is inspired by his own experiences as a Mexican living in the United States for five years."You are suddenly outside your little ranch, your little comfort zone, where you are somebody," he said Tuesday. "To be an immigrant makes you more aggressive and more observant and more excited and more vulnerable. That’s good … I think it’s a very interesting process, not easy, but you enrich yourself."Halfway through the Cannes Film Festival, the moving Babel is arguably the strongest film so far in the main competition. Like 21 Grams and Amores Perros, Inarritu’s first film, Babel weaves together stories about people whose lives are changed by a shared crisis.In Babel, scheduled for U.S. release Oct. 6, the starting point is a rifle shot in the Moroccan desert that pierces the roof of a tourist bus and brings aftershocks in California, Mexico and Japan. It’s an intimate tale of globalization, about the difficulties of communicating pain whether you’re at home or far away.Blanchett and Pitt play a couple fleeing a personal tragedy by taking a trip to faraway North Africa. But their star power does not overshadow the rest of the cast, and every story line has equal weight.A California nanny (Adriana Barraza in a heart-wrenching performance) goes to great lengths to cross into Mexico for her son’s wedding, putting her young charges into danger.A deaf schoolgirl in Tokyo (Rinko Kikuchi) acts out in grief after her mother’s suicide by trying to seduce every man she meets. Veteran Japanese actor Koji Yakusho (Memoirs of a Geisha) plays her father.Inarritu says weaving together several story lines comes naturally to him."When I’m in the car, I see someone pass, and I say, that guy was more interesting than anything in my mind," he said. "So I want to talk about that guy."The reality we have is so limited. I want to explore what is happening outside, and how that will affect me though I don’t know about it," he said in a pool-side interview after his movie’s first Cannes screening.Cannes has a special meaning for 42-year-old Inarritu. Amores Perros showed here six years ago in a smaller competition in the festival, Critics Week, and won. That success ultimately brought him to Los Angeles. Unusually for a third-time director in Hollywood, Inarritu had total control over Babel and its final cut."In the end, I think the director becomes the (pilot) of the plane," he said. "So when somebody jumps in and says, ‘I’ll fly with you,’ he better trust you. If two guys want to be the captain in the middle of the flight, that’s dangerous."In just a few films, Inarritu has worked with some of Hollywood’s most respected actors. 21 Grams brought Academy Award nominations for Naomi Watts and Benicio Del Toro, and it also starred Sean Penn.Blanchett said Inarritu’s passion and vision convinced her to take on her role as a mother far from her children."As he spoke about Babel, I felt ‘you have to make this film,"’ she told the AP. "You very rarely feel that with a director … You really felt with Alejandro that this was incredibly important to him."Inarritu spent about a year away from home to make the movie, much of it on location in Japan and Morocco, where he cast non-actors found through an announcement in a mosque and by videotaping hundreds of villagers. He worked with dialogue coaches to direct scenes in languages he does not speak.But Inarritu says making a global movie was less intimidating than it might seem."I feel that on some level you can, just with your eyes or with gestures, explain what you need from actors," Inarritu said. "There’s a moment when language is not a barrier anymore.

sorry, wrong thread, but feel free to respond.

# 14 | Estelle |- I’m glad I’m not the only one, five of my messages went into thin air.OK, I guess I’ll repeat.I am an avid bicycler and have had three kids, we always took them on weekends either on our backs like BP, or a seat attachment. Keeping a helmet on a toddler is a nightmare. They eventually take it off and you have stop and retrieve it. Now when I go on my 10 mile rides wiht friends I take my speed bike (trust me that is not what BP is riding), with the kids we took our mountain bikes and went very slow. My kids are all grown now and we never ever had a problem. The issue is not the safety, X fans at this point are grasping at straws. The latest news re Babel vs TBU must be killing them :)))) And the mean side of me just loves it!!!

Thanks Jared - now those who kept on saying that these photos were ‘fake’ were will have to shut up. How cute is this family? Brad’s probably giving angie some peace and quiet time before the big day arrives. He’s such an adorable dad, and he looks totally comfortable in his new role.

Alexanderina @ 05/23/2006 at 6:13 pm

Intouch Weekly reporting this, what a bunch of crap. I don’t believeIn Touch has learned that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have given the right to name their baby to the governor of the Erongo region of Namibia, where they are currently living and plan to give birth.. The governor, Samuel Nuuyoma, has gotten close to the couple since their arrival seven weeks ago, and is expected to give a press conference on Friday to brief the media further."It’s true. This is a great honor for Namibia and everyone is very excited," a government official for Namibia told In Touch .It is not known what name the governor plans on giving the baby or whether it will be a traditional Namibian one.Nuuyoma has said that when Angelina goes into labor, any day now, he will go there and name the baby.In the time Brad and Angelina have been in Namibia, Nuuyoma has dined with the couple, who are interested in helping out in the area. I personally think that the Governor needs to keep his mouth shut

The guy that claimed that these pics were fake, based on his photoshop experience, must feel soooo stupid….wow… baby Z’s got a nice sun tan.. Don’t like that kid, always looks mad and boring..Brad has no control in pic 4. Poor mad, trying to catch up.Brad has realized his mistake. Only hangin around to see his child.Oh well.

African Girl @ 05/23/2006 at 6:16 pm

To MeYou know, I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s an insane gesture. It is a nice thing to do but I’m also afraid of what their (AJ & BP) critics will say. We know they didn’t request this but some people won’t see it that way. The attention on them is getting just a little bit scary.On the hand, this could also be a joke….from what I read, it was a radio station that came up with the idea. so who knows, maybe it’s one of those things DJ’s do to get more people to listen to their show….."Should Namibia get a national holiday on the birth of Baby Jolie Pitt? Call in and voice your opinions" type of thing.You should also keep in mind that Namibia is not a big country….it is the size of a state in the US. This can also play a part in why this story is a bigger deal than it is meant to be.

Ooops, someone just deleted the pic Im talking about!!

Alexanderina @ 05/23/2006 at 6:19 pm

# 31 | TMOTO - I am going to say this I really did not want to but here is it, TMOTO, please go **** yourself

Love these pictures, i’m so happy for this family.It must just kill x and her fans that this is the real deal and nothing they do or say can change that fact. The more they look for things to pick pick pick at, this beautiful family keeps getting shoved down their throats. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.

The baby is coming sooon!!! yoooohoooo!!!

Maybe Madd just wanted to ride his bike and Brad had to keep up while taking care of Z. He just can’t run alongside the little tyke’s bike so he rents a bike so he could keep a better eye on his boy. Whatever, I am sure he is very cautious with they way he is handling the bike while Z is strapped on to him and while keeping a good eye on Maddox. They’re doing this activity where there is no danger of having cars speed by and where the road is a freaking packed with sand, not cement or asphalt. How fast could Maddox go on his bike? Brad is not having a race with the kid! Let them enjoy their outing, for heaven’s sake!If they’d gone on a boat, people will say what if it leaked??? We all grew up riding bikes without helmets and yet here we all are! Sometimes the more careful you are, the more you get hurt. You lose sight of what you’re doing because of your fear of getting into an accident. Lastly, when Maddox and Brad are out and about, there’s always this: Where’s the little girl? How come it’s just them? He doesn’t care about Z only Madd. Jeez, the guy can’t win for losing!

The real lou @ 05/23/2006 at 6:25 pm

#34 Alexanderina,please look over TMOTO.Dilalog with this person is a waste of time.Just ignore her.

# 32 | African Girl |i’m sure that BAMZ+1 fans would think of this as a nice gesture or some kind of stupid joke by the radio station, but many people don’t know the whole story and don’t bother to find out the truth. They just scan these kinds of stories and take at face value and start with their jokes. I was at huffingontpost.com and they posted the story about this and after seeing the stupid responses it just made me mad. They also posted a story about the baby pics being sold for $ 5 million but they did not bother to include that the money would go to a charity. So there are alot of rumours out there that only state half of the story.

Great pics! Hopefully we won’t have any more arguing over fake pics. I think these pics of them biking are so great to see. I see a lovely family..absent mom, who will soon be adding an addtion. I am so happy for all of them.BTW, I go biking with my kids including my baby and none of us wear helmets. It is not a law where I live and we only bike in areas that there is not traffic. Z looks extremely safe, as someone pointed out, Brad seems to be riding slowly. Accidents can happen just walking down the street.

# 38 | The real lou - I just promise myself I will not ever respond to that imbecile again

# 28 | guli -I know what you mean, my cousin 18 months old daughter, Grace, refuses to have anything on her head or feet…if you put a hat on her…within second is on the ground…she would take of her socks and shoes…last winter, my cousin lives in Orlando, Florida, we all went to Epcot center, the weather was cold enough that you needed a sweater….my cousin’s husband was pushing the stroller…as we were waiting in line for one of the ride, we did not notice that Grace had took off her shoes and socks, one of the lady in line, speaking really loud with the intention to let my cousin heard her:" some people are so irresponsible…in this cold weather and the child doesnt even have a decent sock…." only then we realized that Grace has suceeded taken off her shoes and socks again…

ms liberia @ 05/23/2006 at 6:31 pm

zahara has gotten darker. her skin looks choclatey and beautiful. and her hair has grown. i love how alert and interested in her surroundings she is. love the photos.

# 25 | meI think the whole "brangelina day" thing was a joke poll made by a radio station. they weren’t being serious…at least I hope not. They put so much pressure on the baby already.

malibumom @ 05/23/2006 at 6:40 pm

okay I told you I have an old fashion grandmother so here it is-Does anyone have a copy of the Farmer’s Almanac-Pregnancy is based on Lunar months-That is why a woman can actually be pregnant for up to10 months (40 weeks) babies usually come at 36-40 weeks. Changes in the moon’s phases affect this-Please don’t laugh but grandma says when the moon empties, women go into labor-I will try to get a pic and show you-I know this is crazy, but this is a woman that can build an outside toilet with tin foil and who can keep canned food (stored in glasses) from bursting in the winter by packing cotton seeds around them!

Iron Velvet @ 05/23/2006 at 6:43 pm

Well.. I’m not going to say I told you soo but… glad to have proof to put to bed this "fake, not fake "debate.#37 Tita.. You are so right. Someone will criticize no matter what. I am trying to just ignore these posts. If I were to see either Brad or Angie doing something that looked dangerous as far as the kids go, yeah I would say.. but I have yet to see anything that shows them being anything other than loving, responsible parents.And how anyone can compare Zahara being safely secured on brad’s back, as he slowly pedals on a bike in a private area to Britney Spears driving fast on a highway teeming with traffic..with her baby in her lap, is beyond me!

# 30 | Alexanderina I hope this is not true. The kid is going to have a name that no one can pronounce. It would be better if the middle name was namabian.

African Girl @ 05/23/2006 at 6:45 pm

#39 / MeOh believe me, I know. You’re preaching to the choir….that’s what my worry is all about but I figure it’s only an idiot that’ll call this a type of stunt on BP & AJ’s part. If this story happens to be true….I mean if the govt. gives the go ahead for that….it shows how well like BP & AJ are.Of course some part…..a very big part of me is hoping it’s all nonsense. I mean eventhough they are stars and have lots of fans…..they are just another family and that’s a lot of…..jeez, I can’t think of the word I want….emphasis?..okay, emphasis on a family on vacation in a country as they wait for the birth of their child.Honestly, I hope all that makes sense….I seem to be having a hard time expressing my feelings on this matter.

Original Curious @ 05/23/2006 at 6:48 pm

# 37 | tita Thanks for saying that! I feel the same way….know what? I’m THRILLED that he got out with his children, that it looks like they had a fun time out, that they are obviously well loved and cared for. The rest is just getting tiring. By the time I read all the posts [half of which are CR*P] I have no desire to post.#28 Guli - Thanks for adding your EXPERIENCE with toddlers and helmets. I sometimes fear that today’s kids will be afraid to go out of their houses, they are so wrapped in cotton wool by their parents and the law. We taught our daughter to ride on the tow path by the Erie Canal. She didn’t have to wear a helmet there. Of course, I spent all our time making sure I was on the water side! lol Do you remember how S-L-O-W little kids ride?

The real lou @ 05/23/2006 at 6:48 pm

#47,Intouch is full of crap.This is a magazine that ran a story 2 months ago saying they were adopting 2 babies before Angelina gave birth.Nothing they print is ever true.

Original Curious @ 05/23/2006 at 6:52 pm

OMG! I forgot to thank JJ!JJ - THANK YOU so much for these photos. You are such a sweetheart to keep us occupied during the long wait!Malibumom - I don’t know what you’re talking about, but am anxious to see/read it when you post it. Sounds interesting……so—–WHAT phase is the moon in?

Thanks JJ !!!Please no helmet post. Its boring.I just wait for The new Jolie- Pitt and my new motorcycle . I hope baby Pitt come on Friday so I can have fun whit my bike all weekend. (hahaha)And i swear i put my helmet on my head !!!!

ILoveGossip @ 05/23/2006 at 6:53 pm

Brad and his kids look great. And as for the helmet thing maybe they’re on their own property and therefore Z doesn’t really need a helmet since she’s safley strapped onto brad’s back. # 46 | Iron Velvet ITA with you.

Looking at these pictures of Brad with his children, I was just thinking how much they must love him. Maddox has known him for quite a while now, and as for Zahara, he is the only father she has known. I love seeing these two beautiful children of God with this beautiful and handsome man as a family. There is a lot of love in that household. May God bless them always.

whooo!! it’s nice to see some change. Thank u very much J@red!! Finally the truth is out. BAMZ+ ROCKS!!

Lovely pics.I wasn’t bothered by the fake pics argument because pople have their own opinion and there was a chance it was actually fake after all. So I think we can all forget it without rubbing salt in it. Do they make bike helmets for babies?

Alexanderina @ 05/23/2006 at 7:02 pm

# 47 | : ) - That is why I said that the story is a bunch of crap; Intouch feeling left off so they decided to print some ****

I can’t even read the news without seeing an ad for BU movie. I just want to read my news in peace. ARGH!!! Anyways, Brad still looks so fit in these pics. I just read another story titled "Brad Pitt Tells Co-Stars that Angelina Jolie Birth is Close" because of the words "imminent arrival" in his Babel email. They just twist everything. That doesn’t mean she’s in labor. Just that she’s really pregnant and he doesn’t want to miss it if she does go into labor. What liars.

Down To Earth @ 05/23/2006 at 7:06 pm

I don’t really understand he can ride a child on a bike, which is very nice. If this was Britney she would be hung out to dry.

Original jpf @ 05/23/2006 at 7:06 pm

Thank you Jared for these "very real photos."jpf

# 42 | Estelle | I hope you know my post wasn’t to you it was in general, it’s just that I typed that post twice before and it vanished. Any who, I can identify with your cousins 18 month old daughter experience. When I had my first one I’d go the grocery store, my basket would be full and than my son would start crying. Man, the looks you get, like why can’t you make him stop. So eventually I learned my lesson, I told the clerk to hang on to my basket and I’d leave and come back later once my husband got home. But, I always thought why can’t you be a little tolerant, these are kids and as parents we try the best we don’t have the best parenting book since each child has their own personality and what works with one doesn’t with the other. OK, enough said. I’ll later tell you my worst embaressing moment with my neigbors this morning, I think it will make you laugh :)))

Press Woman @ 05/23/2006 at 7:09 pm

This was take from Bradfans.net:MORE ON THAT MR. & MRS. SMITH TV SHOWFrom Cinematical: All the way back in January, we told you how Mr. & Mrs. Smith was making its return via a brand new television series. While A-list superheroes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will not be starring in the new show, director Doug Liman and writer Simon Kinberg will be back to kick-start this new version.Kinberg recently spoke about the show, saying that the story will serve as a sequel to the movie and takes place after both characters have discovered what one another do for a living. He says, “It’s a show about a marriage – two people trying to balance their home life with their work lives, and their work lives happen to be international assassins.” Kinberg admits they pitched the show as Married with Children meets Alias. While that sounds pretty cool, the whole thing really comes down to who snags those lead roles. I mean, look at the shoes you’re filling — is there anyone out there capable of turning this into a successful television show without having the audience constantly scream, “Shut it off — the movie was so much better!”? What about David Schwimmer? Courteney Cox? Hell, let’s just throw the entire cast of Friends into this one and see how it rolls.

# 61 | guli - oh yeah..:), I want to put another 2 cents in for those who still stuck with the helmetmaniac…

# 54 | Tijen |Did you see the pics in people magazine for the whole Most Beautiful Family, when they are in the Desert? There is one picture of Maddox holding a paintbrush and he is looking up at Brad while smiling. I remember when Angie said that Maddox thought Brad was a superhero after seeing Troy. Maddox never had a father figure in his life before or probably did any guy stuff like riding motorcycles. Brad filled that void. I know Brad said that having a little girl would "kill him" but I don’t think he realized how much he would also want a son to hang out with and teach him stuff that only a father can teach a son.

# 59 | Down To Earth I think that for the most part, the tripping incident was just one of many baby related dramas that Britney was involved in. Also, I don’t think people actually think she’s a bad mother for tripping, as accidents happen to everyone. However, when you have a series of incidents, people will be more alerted to furture accidents, no matter how small.

HI STEf the video is wonderfulHello BAMZ+1 fansThanks JJ beautiful picture and what matter the most is that Maddox and little Z are bounding with thier Daddy and having so much fun. see little Z is not afraid to be up there instead she is enjoying the view and looking out for paparazzi …..LOL.Love BAMZ+1 family.

Original jpf @ 05/23/2006 at 7:14 pm

# 59 | Down To Earth Well in Brit’s case, and if history is any indicater of what might catch her some fresh hell, I’d imagine her photo would be that of her holding a helmet-less SPF in her lap while tooling a motorcycle and drinking a pepsi.jfp

# 49 | Original Curious |-Erie Canal, is that in Cleveland by lake Erie. Now I’m being curious, since I live in Columbus we always go to Cedar Point and to Put-in-Bay.. Probabaly I’m way off :)

#64 Sydney - I agree!

Agnieszka (and others)-Now will you please accept that these are not fake pixs? If BS had not exhibited such poor parenting skills then few would have commented on these pixs of X with no helment/Brad not taking good care of Z,etc. People need to not be on the defensive as to BS as she does lack maturity as a parent and also appears to lack much if any family support. Her husband provides no support and I have not seen her mom with her recently. BS appears to be so sad and miserable and that can’t be good for a pregnant mom who also has a very young baby. Someone in her family (not KF as he is clueless as a partner or father) needs to come to her rescue. I think that she really loves her child but needs a parenting mentor. Z looks safely and securely strapped in to me. In addition that backpack has a headrest on it and extra padding. Z certainly does not look sick, looks healthy and is she growing. Z looks around very alertly at everything. She appears to be a quiet calm baby who seems very secure and comfortable with her daddy. I have noticed in many pixs that Z often points at things that she sees and appears to be talking to Brad and Angie. Brad loves these kids and is very careful with them. He is moving very slowly on his bike with what appears to be frequent stops as Mad appears to be in the "learner" phase of bike riding. Brad is attentive to both children and that has to provide great support for Angie at this stage of her pregnancy. BRAD PITT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A NATURAL DAD AND A VERY LOVING LOYAL PARTNER TO ANGIE. HOW WONDERFUL THAT BRAD CHOOSE TO STAY WITH ANGIE INSTEAD OF RUNING OFF TO CANNES! HE LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT HIS FAMILY IS HIS MAIN PRIORITY- ANGIE, +1′S IMMINENT ARRIVAL AS NEW ADDITION TO "OUR FAMILY" (COULD HE BE ANY CLEARER AS TO WHOM HE LOVES), MAD AND Z. GOTTA LOVE HIM!!

Down To Earth @ 05/23/2006 at 7:20 pm

Original Curious @ 05/23/2006 at 7:24 pm

#67 JPF - you made me laugh right out loud! I can SO see Brit doing that! I’m sure most of us have had one accident with our babies [I sure did anyway - she fell off our bed!], but usually it takes once for us to be extra vigilent. Our poor daughter wasn’t allowed to pick up a stick for the longest time! I just saw them ALL in her beautiful eyes - yeah, I was sort of a nutcase back then. *rolls eyes*

# 72 | Original jpf |,# 20 | Passing ThroughGeez! guys could you just "whisper", you know who is going to come out again. Please, have mercy:)))

"Yes Britney has had a couple things, besides the high chair, "nothing like this" he can really hurt them both."You’ve got to be kidding?!? Ok, I promised I wouldnt let comments get to me but.. HE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING REMOTELY DANGEROUS. Not biking fast,not riding in traffic.. NOTHING. Geesh.

# 71 | Down To Earth Britney if you recall first drove her car with her baby in her lap, and then there was the high chair, and then she drove with the baby seat facing the wrong way, and then the tripping accident, so I’m not sure what you mean by "not like this" in referencing Brad Pitt and the biking. Driving a car with a baby in your lap is absolutely dangerous! However, I also think that Britney used bad judgment and doesn’t mean she’s a bad or unfit mother.

OMG!!! THESE PICS ARE SOOO FAKE!!! I CAN TOTALLY SEE THE PHOTOSHOP LINES!!!lol, sorry…i just had to go there…I’m also a graphic designer that lurks around but doesn’t post much and it was hilarious when the fake/not fake debate happened for so many reasons that is not even worth to bring up anymore…and I never did..it would have been a waste of time…the girl was SUPER convinced and I was sure nothing was gonna change her mind….lol…but it is funnyTHANK YOU JARED…VIVA LA BAMZ+1!!!

#71 / Down to EarthOh come on! Okay, let’s forget the tripping incident…it can happen to anyone but are you REALLY going to compare holding a baby on your lap as you drive on the highway to having a baby strapped to your back with a whatever that contrapment while riding a bike? Seriously!

awwwww…..i’m starting to feel sorry for "you know who is going to come out". Let’s just drop it.

# 68 | guli - Nope! I’m near the beginning, outside of Syracuse. I love the towpath. Taught daughter to ride, walked the dog, cross country skiing….everyone ought to have one!# 70 | kk You are very kind to BS. Yes, she IS immature - one reason why she shouldn’t have kids yet imho. I don’t like her, and I’m way to old to entertain her music, but I do sort of feel sorry for her these days. She reminds me of the kids my sister in law works with - 8th grade girls wanting to get pregnant for someone to love THEM. Like a poor little rich girl she is.

#77 /LOLLmao….that’s got to be the funniest post all day.

For all the "where’s the helmet" people…if they were riding on a street full of cars on in the highway…i would totally agree with you on your complaints…BUT he isn’t…they’re not in any danger and the streets are empty…it is NOTHING like BS almost dropping her kid in NY or Ryan P. riding with his kid in crowded L.A…..I just wish there was paps where all of you haters raise your kids…I swear BS would look like a saint compared to you!!!!

As an afterthought, poor Agnieska. Her proof just went poof!! # 5 | tita++++++++++++Pfffftttt!!! I don’t feel one iota sorry for Agnieszka. She lorded her so-called expert PhotoShop knowledge over the rest of us like we were castle idiots so now she gets her come-uppance. So na-na-na-na-na-na to her!Small and petty of me? You’re damned skippy!

More photos of the Joli-Pitt bonding. So sweet. Love them all. I also miss Angelina. ANGELINA WHERE OH WHERE ARE YOU?

nina kerina @ 05/23/2006 at 7:53 pm

Now this is better - I know for sure it’s no fake photos. BAMZ+1 rocks. Thanks JJ for putting the fake/real debate to restOn a different note, I wish Brad get a oscar for Babel - I really wants to hear his thank you speech. Can’t wait to watch Babel

Original jpf @ 05/23/2006 at 7:58 pm

# 73 | Original CuriousI like Brit, but sometimes I just wanna shake her! I know she loves her little sweetie, but I think she’s overwhelmed, depressed and stressed. She doesn’t seem to have that much of a support system "that she doesn’t pay for" and her loser husband seems to do nothing but spend his time spending her money. Parents are gonna flub it many times before getting it right, but it’s about learning from the last time, and sometimes I just don’t think Brit has got a handle on that just yet, but maybe by the time she has the next one she’ll have more of a sense of control of her life as a mother….I really hope so.jpf

Passing Through @ 05/23/2006 at 8:00 pm

Passing Through - You know she will have something to say right, she probably will stick to her theory that the pictures are fake, poor girl lol # 24 | Alexanderina++++++++++++++++++++Yeah, I know. She’ll say that Jared flew to Langstrand yesterday and took pictures, then put them online….just to prove her wrong. Of course, she’ll fail to mention exactly how it was that Jared got BMZ to re-enact the bike ride so precisely…cuz you know…"no two pictures are exactly alike".Yeah…that’s right, folks…I’m still in kitty-cat mode over the fake photo fiasco. I’ve had better people than Ag-whatever-her-name-is call me an idiot and I didn’t take it from them either!

Daddy took the kids out so that mummy can get some rest. I respect Angie for learning so hard how to raise Maddox. Brad is doing so great with these kids. As you learn more you get better you do not perfect everything in one day. God bless them all.

COLD HARD MATH @ 05/23/2006 at 8:05 pm

Thanks JJ for the pix. I guess the GREAT DEBATE FAKE OR NOT FAKE can come to a screaming halt. The helmet issue? I gave my 2 cents on the other thread.What a diffrence a year can make! This time last year, Brad/Angie were dodging questions about the Kenya trip, MAMS premiere was coming up, etc. Now look, one year later; Brad is about to become a a father for the THIRD time, getting rave and critical reviews regarding BABEL. Now JA: 0-3 with her movie career, promoting TBU in the midst of Angie giving birth anytime. This is a woman that would KILL to have a movie feautured at the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL and Brad not wanting to be away from his family for a second unlike Mr Cruise!!!!!!!!!I LOVE THIS FAMILY!WISHING A SAFE AND HEALTHY DELIVERY FOR ANGIE!HOPING/PRAYING FOR A HEALTHY BABY JOLIE PITT!KEEP ON ROCKIN BAMZ!WAITING INPATIENTLY, PLUS ONE!

Alexanderina @ 05/23/2006 at 8:09 pm

# 90 | Passing Through - You are too funny lol

# 85 | Passing Through"So na-na-na-na-na-na to her"you are too damn funny!

Brad is a wonderful dad,and is an amazing actor, I love this family!Can´t wait to watch Babel!

Passing Through no need to call Agniezka a lame ass, she wasn’t being mean about the fake photos. Just wanted to disprove them to the critics who were accusing Brad of being careless for taking Z out on a bike without a helmet.54 Tijen, you are so right. I think Brad had only nieces to play with. With Maddox, I’m sure having a son helps him realise the wonderful things he can do with a son. I do wish people will stop saying Brad is a father to be. He is a father already.

# 85 | Passing Through"So na-na-na-na-na-na to her" Darn it you are funny, now I’m going to start bawling crying since my friend stole my "marbles"

Original jpf @ 05/23/2006 at 8:21 pm

# 74 | guli I’m sorry guli, and I know you truly mean well but what #85 Passing Through said is just where I’m still at on the subject. If "the expert" had been just a little less of a know it all, and a bit more open to letting people make their own choice about what they saw "without being called stupid when what they saw didn’t agree with the expert" I could/would have shined it on. You know that I rarely if ever get into verbal fistacuffs here are anywhere else if I can help it, and I don’t suggest that people see things my way or else, but sometimes other people do, and therein lays the problem I had with "the expert." Sorry that I went back on my word of leaving it alone, but i guess by now you can tell "they really pissed me off."jpf

I am so glad that u know who was proven WRONG… like # 85 | Passing Through"So na-na-na-na-na-na to her"

Passing Through @ 05/23/2006 at 8:24 pm

Geez! guys could you just "whisper", you know who is going to come out again. Please, have mercy:))) # 74 | guli+++++++++++++Hey Guli…let her come on out of the woodwork. She’d just better do it soon because I’m gonna lose interest in this whole revenge thing. My attention span for this kind of asinine pissing contest really isn’t that long!

Original jpf @ 05/23/2006 at 8:24 pm

# 68 | guli I had no idea you were in Columbus! I’m in Cincinnati. jpf

Passing Through @ 05/23/2006 at 8:26 pm

Oh yeah…while I’m still being pissy…please note, Agnieszka, that BRAD DOES NOT HAVE A MOHAWK!!!!!! So you were wrong about that, too!

Thank you Jared. I have been famished for picutres of this lovely family. BP is a loving and responsible father. No question about it.

flychinchin @ 05/23/2006 at 8:33 pm

Sorry i just feel i have to do this…. SHOVE THAT AGNIESZKA!!!!!!! that’s for wasting one whole page in just jared for your stupid fake photo rambling. Are you satisfied NOW???!!!!

remember da truth @ 05/23/2006 at 8:34 pm

So people are still going on about the friggin’ helmet? Did the haters ever stop to think that if he were careful enough to put a helmet on Maddox that he KNOWS about helmets and safety and wouldn’t be endangering Zahara? Duh!! As I posted on the other thread, apparently people have not tried to ride a bike with a small child using a bike with training wheels. You’re in more danger of not getting enough speed up to keep the bike moving than of going fast enough to either fall over or hit a bump and lose control.Sheeesh….. What will people come up with next to complain about? His ugly clothes? lolllI think he looks wonderful and he is having fun and so are the kids. Can WE have fun, too, now, finally?

okay. so the buzz from cannes is giving me a real jones to see babel. does anyone know when it’s scheduled for release in the states? i’m thinking about taking the day off from work just to see it.

pitjajurran's sis @ 05/23/2006 at 8:39 pm

Yeah the safety is a very big concern Brad Pitt should be taught how to care for children, it is obvious that the amount of traffic in Namibia poses as a very big threat, how could he be so careless….COME ON GUYS GIVE THE CELEBS A BREAK….. I’m sure there is a lot of whoops parenting we have done in our time, we just don’t have the press breating down our necks watching our every move.. what a beautiful interplay between father and children… I LOVE THE JOLI-PITTS.

remember da truth @ 05/23/2006 at 8:45 pm

Maybe it’s the mood I’m in, but Tmoto is cracking me up! He/she/it comes to the thread simply to find things wrong to stir up trouble (which invariably happens because people are unable to control themselves and just ignore its posts), and sometimes, like now, it is so hard to find something to complain about that the insults are literally laughable! Truly, I read the post twice, and just dissolved into giggles.

Passing Through @ 05/23/2006 at 8:47 pm

Passing Through no need to call Agniezka a lame ass, she wasn’t being mean about the fake photos. # 96 | lylian ++++++++++++++She wasn’t being mean? I guess your interpretation of "mean" and mine are different then. All but calling the rest of us a bunch of gullible idiots because we didn’t agree with her IS MEAN.Also, for the record I did not call Agnieszka a "lame ass". What I said was…"That was just for Agniezska’s lame ass…." I AM calling her "lame", but not "a lame ass"….if you get the difference there…

#54 Tijen…I agree. OMG I just love this family.Brad is a good dad. Zee and Maddox must love him dearly. How fortunate they are. I am so excited about the baby. It should be soon now.

Somebody put the link of youtube on this thread. They said it was a good video of Jen. It was not a good video, it was not nice. The guy that was singing was saying does it hurt so bad to find yourself alone, does it hurt so bad to see the strength I have shown and they had pictures of Brad with his new girlfriend and their children. They also had pictures of Jen alone and she looked sad. That was not cool, does anyone know how to do a video like that? I have a lot of picture of Jen and Vince looking happy and if anyone can do the video, I can send them the pictures or maybe someone can tell me how to do the video. You can email me at always4jen@hotmail.com. I’m gonna get a new email so I can add Vince so it will be always4jenandvince@hotmail.com. I’m gonna do it tonight. Please somebody show me how to do this. # 94 | Always4Jen&Vince Sorry this was from the other thread.This was quite interesting but I had to lmao in a good way, not degrading her/him or anything like that. Anyway, thanks for the new pics jj!

#67 Original JPFOkay, you made me spit my drink on my keyboard!! THat was hilarious!

Passing Through @ 05/23/2006 at 8:56 pm

# 106 | gitane The release isn’t scheduled until Sept. or Oct. Is that enough notice for you to get the day off? PS - LOL!…Sorry…I couldn’t help it…the release really isn’t until Oct, though.

# 98 | Original jpf | You know, I never go to X threads or blogs, I have enough high blood pressure and stress in my life with work and family, so why bother. I don’t know how long you were on the thread when someone really made a fool of themselves, even the X fans were making fun of us. So, mature thing is to ignore, but when you get verbally assaulted its human nature sometimes your buttons are pushed and you react. I am hoping that this is a learning lesson for her. OK, enough said on that..Hey in two weeks I’ll be at Kings Island, my daughter wants to go before we leave for Turkey, which we do for the past 20 years. I love Cincinatti! So I am an OSU alumni, please tell me you like the Buckeyes, hey I root for the Reds :)))
