OlderBrad & Angelina: Water Fountain
Photogs’ appetites whetted: ‘Most anticipated baby since Jesus‘
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have an entire government on their side in the latest celebrity vs. paparazzi skirmish as they await the birth of their child in seclusion at a resort in Namibia.
The Namibian Embassy in Pretoria tells journalists seeking visas for Namibia to cover the birth of the eagerly awaited celebrity baby that they must have permission from Pitt and Jolie in writing before they will be allowed into the country.
The government, which has seen its profile as a tourist destination increased by the celebrity visit, has arrested photographers, confiscated film, set up large green barriers on the beach to shield the couple and their children Zahara and Maddox, ringed the hotel with heavy security and threatened to expel any journalist trying to cover the birth without the parents’ permission.
"This lady is expecting," Namibian Prime Minister Nahas Angula was quoted as telling South Africa’s Sunday Times last month. "You guys are harassing her. Why don’t you allow her some privacy? Harassment is not allowed in Namibia."

Interest has heightened in recent weeks as photographers anticipated the due date was near. It escalated Tuesday when an e-mail Pitt sent to the Cannes Film Festival and read to reporters there said he was unable to attend because of the baby’s "imminent arrival."
Darryn Lyons, the chairman of Big Pictures, which runs Mr. Paparazzi.com, said in London that the two stars are certain to gain more attention by taking up residence in a poor corner of Africa then they would in the United States.
"I don’t think they could have given the people more of an appetite to see the new creature," said Lyons, referring to the decision to hole up in Namibia. "It is the most anticipated baby since Jesus Christ."
"They would have been more discreet sitting in Malibu," he said. "I don’t know why they’re going to all this ridiculous trouble."
Before Pitt and Jolie took up residence at a luxury hotel on the Namibian coast, the government never required that journalists get permission from private citizens — foreign or otherwise — to obtain a visa.
John Liebengerg, a South African magazine photographer, was arrested Wednesday for a second time in less than a week for trying to take pictures of the couple at a restaurant.
The arrest was condemned by the South African National Editors Forum.
"The forum believes citizens have a right to privacy, however journalists also have a right to be able to do their jobs without unfair hindrance or intimidation," the forum said in a statement.
South Africa’s Sunday Times said last month its own photographer and three French photographers were ordered to leave Namibia or face arrest.
Lyons said he has a team in place in Namibia, but that none of his photographers have been arrested. He added someone — perhaps even the midwife — with a small camera or one built into their mobile phone stood to make a lot of money.
"You could probably buy Namibia with that picture," he said, estimating the first picture of Pitt and Jolie’s baby would be worth $5 million.
Namibia, a country half the size of Alaska, is rich in diamonds and strategic metals, but most of its 1.8 million people are poor. – AP

# 2218 | exe I am laughing at your post. (wish we some emoticons here)Like people are going to believe you. A.J. haters will do anything to cloud any happy events about Brad and Angelina.Talking about STD’s. Did you know how many MEN Jennifer Aniston Slept with not including her bestfriends boyfriend? Oh, don’t sit there and say that Vince and Jennifer are only playing cards at night. Which by the way, Did you know that Vince was a "****" meaning he likes them one night stand. Maybe it was Vince Vaughh who gave Jennifer some STD? That I’ll believe because that man was well known for one night stand. Hopefully after the Vince is not going to dump J.A tush after the TBU flopped, which movie he produce and put together. Something smell fishy about this because , Vince use the opportunity to create the film then USE Jennifer Aniston at the same time.
News for the news deprived (we feel sorry for you): Hollywood May 29, 2005 Doctors at the Welwitschia Clinic in Walvis Bay said Sunday there were no complications during the birth Saturday of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, and that the baby and its mother, Angelina Jolie, were doing well."She is a healthy baby," the doctor said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release information.Police ringed the hospital with tight security, refusing to admit journalists and photographers into the building. The government has gone to extraordinary lengths to protect the privacy of Jolie and Pitt, who came to Namibia to avoid the media prior to the birth.Jolie and Pitt were linked romantically shortly after appearing together in the 2005 movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" ending Pitt’s 5 year marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
# 1893 | cb noooo…i don’t mean it that way…gosh….i hope you’re not offended…what i meant is that the tone of your comments are like always happy celebrating….oh no…okay…i’ll stop because i might put my foot on my mouth…no really…i like reading everyone’s comments…from the latest to the previous…lol….but if i saw familiar names and it seems that there are interaction between other posters…then i go back to the original comments of these posters and read them….
# 2249 | Alicia | ITA. No one even brings up the fact that Tom probably cheated on Nicole with Pen. Everyone still liked him for the most part. Well, before TomKat I mean. Nicole has true class. And of all the women that GQ could have chosen for their first ever "Woman of the Year" they chose X? I think last year was also when Christopher Reeve passed, i think? What about his wife as "Woman of the year"?
Since InTouch got the baby scoop, they said Angie wanted to give birth natural..but a minor complication occurred and the doctor advised a C-Section…since the rumors of Angie having the baby started Thursday…maybe, her labor was long, maybe the baby heartbeat became weaker..like the cord wrapped around her neck…it happened to me and my dr advised a C/S if they couldn’t unwrapped the cord. Having a baby is not a small procedure and they are risks involve…per the sources, the doctors advised the c-s, but until the release Angie medical infor..we’re just speculating. Noboby really knows except those involved and they’re not talking right now. All I care is that everybody is safe and healthy, Angie and little Shy.Like I say, they are many bitter people and they like receiving bad karma, thats why they can’t move on or say kind things. Well who cares what the old bitter hags say. The reality is that Jennifer Aniston era is over and done with…and the world knows her for the "silly twit" that she is. Why she burned her bridges with one of the few men that helped her with her dreams. Aniston is worst the trailer park trash..she has displayed…no class or intelligence at all. Lainey was so right is calling out her ****…this no talented, fake, phony fraud that is Jennifer Aniston. She should kiss Brad Pitt butt cheeks that she still has all these movie roles set-up under Plan B that was drafted by Brad to highlight her strength. Yes, I know this was part of her divorse settlement with Pitt, but after all her talk about how this was her company…what it showed was This was always Brad company and she had a jr. partnership that was always depended on Brad’s good graces to keep her on board. I remember Brad Grays remarks when he called Brad one of the best producers and Aniston a great talent. Before he sided with Pitt after Aniston got booted out of Plan B. Even Warner Bros. was upset to lose Pitt for Aniston. They do anything for Brad like "greenlight" his movies…and Aniston can’t get her projects out of development hell. She is still shopping her projects around town…only the Plan B projects that Pitt is overseeing have been "greenlighted"….How the mighty have fallen, TV girl is just a step ahead of Courtney Cox and she know it all her fault. Angie and Brad has not interferred with Jen’s career…they have been living their life as a family.
Exe you actually believed what was emailed to you. It is I who feels sorry for you. Now when you get the email about sending your bank account number over the internet so that a special prize can be given to you . DON’T DO IT. It is just a lie.
# 2253 | exe Thanks but I think this was posted about oh I don’t know um like 6 pages ago! I see you are still catching up. Good try.
Yes Paul Newman and Joanne Wooodward were married to others and got married the day after their divorces were final and look at their successful marriage.#2218/2221-Does it make you feel better to repeat derogatory info that you have no way of knowing is true or not? Does it make you feel better or superior to pass along your "herpes" expertise as the reason all women(but especially AJ) have c-sections? THE REASON FOR AJ’S C-SECTION IS NONE OF YOUR DAMM BUSINESS OR MINE OR ANYBODY ELSE’S BUT AJ AND BP AND THEIR PHYSICIANS!! Wonder what you will feel if, and that a big, if your "idol" JA gets pregnant and has a c-section. C-sections are major surgery and are undertaken with caution for any number of reasons. Since you are both so STUPID, herpes can be treated and a vaginal birth can then happen. Also your idol JA lived with several men(she might have herpes but I do not LIE about those things that I do not know and that are NONE OF MY BUSINESS) b/f she moved BP in her house the very next day after their first date the night before(after BP’s heart had been broken by GP, and BP and JA were set up by their agents on a blind date). BP wanted someone "safe" after the whole GP episode, someone who was in the business but not directly in competiton with him. So JA is the classy lady who you want all of us to emulate and behave like? BP set up Plan B to secure movie roles for her b/c studios saw her as a tv actor, not a movie actor. BP sat in the audience when JA won her Emmy and heard her thank everyone in the world but him (same as Hillary Swank did Chad Lowe when she won her first Oscar and look they are divorcing). BP said over and over over the years he was with JA that he yearned for children, JA did not do likewise. NAMIBIA HAS SOME GOOD HOSPITALS AND PHYSICIANS FOR YOUR INFORMATION BUT THEN YOU ARE IGNORANT OF THE TRUTH, AREN’T YOU? JUST SHUT UP AND GO REPEAT YOUR LIES TO THE COVEN YOU BELONG TO!
Paul Newman/ Joanne Woodward/ Newman’s wife/ Woodward’s husbandthis list is getting longwho else you got?
I don’t care what you think about the C/S done on Angie…We don’t even know if there was a C/S done…We just have InTouch post on that…no info have being given on what kind of delivery Angie had. So STFU and take your bad karma with you…Aniston still was dumped by Brad for a hell of a better choice, in his opinion, for Angie.Even now Aniston said they grew apart and had different goals in life. That’s okay and there is nothing wrong with realizing you married the wrong man/woman better to get out now and start all over with your soulmate, if you found that person.
hmmm……just a side bar, but in the midst of all the Shiloh excitement, I was scrolling through the previous comments to catch up on what I’d missed and I noticed that someone else named Alicia posted here (#934, #950). I’m not saying that that poster was impersonating me, and they didn’t say anything offensive, but I find it curious that "another" Alicia should appear while I was away. Not that this has any importance whatsoever, I just felt the need to point that out for myself. Back to BAMZS, whoooooo!!!

Switching gears now but I just saw a news report about self mutilation or as it is known "cutting" on CNN. So many of the people who admitted to cutting were adults and older teens. Many were women and some were even parents. It made me think what kind of place Angelina must have been in her life at that time to cut herself and her facination with blood. # 2170 | meI like your style than Oprah’s style of women empowerment. I’ve been trying to think of a situation that’s comparable to Angie/BP/X and I can’t come up with anything. They’re all A-list for one reason or another # 2174 | Passing Throughingrid Bergman/Roberto Rossellini/Bergman husbandCarol Burnett/Producer Joe Hamilton/ Hamilton wife - left seven kids Julia Roberts/ David Moder/David Moder wife # 2220 | interesting ITA interesting. I would have to say Bergman probably suffered the most. I would say probably worse than Angie well maybe because it was the 1950’s. Bergman met Italian director Roberto Rossellini and fell in love with him while performing in his film Stromboli (1950). Bergman left her husband, Dr. Aron Petter Lindström and their daughter, Pia Lindström, for Rossellini.“They married on 24 May 1950, and had three children, a son named Roberto Ingmar Rossellini, and twin daughters, one became a model and an actress, Isabella Rossellini. The affair caused a scandal; Bergman, who was pregnant at the time of the marriage, was branded as "Hollywood’s apostle of degradation" and forced to leave the States. Over the next few years, she appeared in several Italian films for Rossellini, including Giovanna d’Arco al rogo (1954), a remake of Joan of Arc. The Rossellini-Bergman marriage ended in divorce on 7 November 1957.Back in the United States, anger over her private life continued unabated, with Ed Sullivan at one point infamously polling his TV show audience as to whether she should be forgiven.”# 2175 | BO poisonI think I read somewhere that she was given those movies as part of the settlement when she parted ways with Plan (or did Brad buy out her shares?). I’m not sure if any of the major studios has greenlighted these projects. For all we know, she may still scrumbling for Brad or Brad Grey’s good graces to get these movies pushed. P.S. thanks crybabyaniston for the info. this is very stupid but can we make a list of some of the major celebs that can be included in spouse dumping or getting involved with someone already taken, and next time there is an X thread we can just post the list of all those celebs. # 2193 | ideaI think its worth trying. LOL. Its another novel way of shutting out the naysayers. At least it something they can think about and research on instead of the same arguments they keep on spewing. # 2209 | True DatThat’s a good find. Its good that a lot of people has opened their minds about this so called “Bermuda triangle” that a bitter ex-wife has perpetuated and the media as well as the ex have profited from. It’s the trashy tabloids and the entertainment media that has sensationalized much of this because it translates to $$ and sadly they hit the jackpot on Aniston who was over confident in her status and her belief in her own hype. # 2211 | stardustI hope she does that if that will prove to be cathartic for her then she will be on the same page as her mom who wrote about it her. I think her reaction to the W shoot is not mostly because she was hurt because Brad put the concept of family with Angie but more because it’s a reflection of how “tarnished” the golden couple marriage was at that time. And I think it hit close to home that the wife portrayed in the W shoot is a wreck and an alcoholic. She didn’t like that image and was probably thinking that’s how the public must have perceived her to be. # 2218 | exeI have to laugh at your slanderous remarks. No HW exe as close to A-listers as you would like us to believe would have the FMD of the mouth to blubber about such things much less send an email to someone which is easily traceable. But thanks for providing the laugh in the graveyard shift. LOL. Why don’t you go back to cleaning the HW exec office you work instead of talking out loud your dreams & wishes. I suggest you go to school and make true of that dream to become a true HW exe.
# 2043 | julia aha…you’re the culprit…lol….the poster mija got offended with the picture and the fics and i think she left…but she might be lurking…he! he!bamzs fans are so creative and talented….they rock and rule!!
What is wrong with the Brangelina fans that cannot move on from Jennifer Aniston. Good Lord ! Almost every comment is about Aniston! Just cause we don’t like Jolie does not mean we like Aniston. Get a grip on yourselves if you can, and get over your obsession with Aniston long enough to realize we just don’t like Herpes Holie.
I find these two stories. I wonder what Mischa and X have in common? hmmm……"Mischa Barton, 20, idolizes Jennifer Aniston, 37, so much that she’s hooked on Friends re-runs and follows Jen’s every move in the press, sources say. "Mischa says Jen is an inspiration: The grace and determination she showed pulling herself up by the bootstraps during the past year and, as she puts it, making Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look like the warts they are!," a friend of Mischa says. But when Jen learned that Mischa wants to meet her, she was taken aback."When Jen finds out she has fans nearly 20 years younger than her, I think she feels her own mortality," a friend of Jen says. Even so, Jen has agreed to lunch, the friend says, adding: "But if Mischa tells Jen she’s loved her since she was a little girl, Jen will strangle her!" And the other story:"Actress Mischa Barton and her mother, Nuala, looked calm and collected when they visited the Central Park Ritz-Carlton the week her character was killed on "The O.C."I asked Nuala what Mischa had given her for Mother’s Day a few days earlier; she said flowers. But a Star journalist riding in the elevator with them caught a different picture."You’re so [bleeping] retarded!" the magazine reports Mischa told her mom, when she had trouble working the Ritz’s elevator key. "What idiot can’t put a [bleeping] key in? You’re so stupid — it takes you 10 hours to do anything!" But Mama Barton took it all in stride. "You’re mad about something that has nothing to do with me," she said sagely. "Stop with the attitude!"And that was the week after Mother’s Day!"
# 2267 | exeWhen you brandishly wrote something OFFENSIVE on Angie & other A-listers for SHOCK VALUE then expect people to call you on your fallacies. Don’t cry FOUL when you’re the one who started talking **** and people smelled your STUPID CRAP.
# 2209 | True Dat |You are right! Why does everyone feel sorry about Jen Aniston?It’s her fault that Brad left her. She wanted to have a great career as a film star. She didn’t want children now. But when did she think the time was right for children? In a few years she is over 40 and it is more dangerous for her to get a healthy child the older she gets! Brad and Angie have the same interests and they really love to create a family! And I am happy for Brad ( and Angie ) that they found each other.
# 2267 | exe What the hell? X fans can’t even admit they like her, just that they hate Angelina. Atleast we are honest enough to say we love Angelina and dislike Aniston or some don’t care about her at all. You don’t like Angelina and you don’t like Aniston, then WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?
# 2218 | exe |Just another opinion:First of all you obviously have no medical knowledge especially in the OB/GYN department besides your own check ups and visits to the STD clinic. You are ignorant at best to why "young" "healthy" women may have c/sections. A history of herpes is rarely a reason for a c/section…….so STFU about your stupid email from some fellow ignorant want a be gossip moron. Herpes is regulated by medication and because of that c/sections are very rarely done ever anymore for herpes. The few cases that are done are a result of women who don’t get any prenatal care.To write about someones "supposed" gynelogical information is a laughing crock of bullshit. NO one knows that information especially someone as ignorant as you…and especially on someonelike Angelina Jolie. NO physician would ever "schedule" a "planned c/section at one in the morning EVER you dufus bafoon.And yes…….I am an expert in the field so stick it in your pipe and keep toking on your hallucongenics girlfriend. You don’t have a clue what you are talking about………not to mention the fact that nobody even knows for sure if she did have a c/section AT ALL!!!People like you who do blow jobs on unsubstantiated gossip and make accusations lke that need to have your mouths soaked in Penicillin for the infected garbage you regurgitate.
Don’t forget darling Tori Spelling and her puppet.
Bonjour!This is really toooo much! If we are a fans of an actress/actor, this doesn’t give us a right to speculate about her/his herpes problem if she/he has one. This is beyond it. I found it very private subject to discuss unless the actress/actor talks about it.I had a C-section with my own wish without having any health problem including herpes! I shall like to do it again, if I have a second birth. I just don’t want to go through long hours of pain. Why are some people having problem with C-section? During normal birth, can anybody assure that mother and baby will ALWAYS be fine? This is nonsence, I heard also many stories about the problems during normal birth.In my opinion, normal or C-section decision should be left to a mother-to-be. Because SHE IS THE ONE who carries this baby for at 36 to 42 weeks.Is there any stone-like rule of God that whoever marries for the first time, ought to spend her/his life with that person until death apart them? God gives us a life, wants us to enjoy it, (of course not to go bananas also). Brad and x were not happy, they got divorce; let’s move on!In my opinion, Angelina and Brad chose to have a C-section (if she has had one) to get less attantion as much as they can. You know, some photographers are also humanbeings and they need some sleep, usually at night!
# 2273 | Moi JadeThank you for that. People like exe are too lazy to do simple research to at least come up with something plausible.
