Maddox Goes To School
Angelina Jolie took her 4-year-old son Maddox Jolie-Pitt to school late last week. More pictures of Brad Pitt riding his custom made motorcycle have also been included in this entry. Today marks the United Nations’ World Refugee Day. Angelina Jolie will give Anderson Cooper 360° an exclusive interview tonight @ 10PM ET/PT on CNN. The interview was taped June 14 at L’Ermtage hotel in Beverly Hills. Anderson Cooper has said, "We have a lot of simliar interests in Africa… We’ve been to a lot of the same places… It was a free-ranging conversation in which she talked a lot about her family… [Angelina's] incredibly natural and down-to-earth. She is like this person you’d wantto hang ou with. Her commitment to actually trying to do good for other people is incredibly genuine. Anyone who spends any amount of time with her gets this."

My post just disappeared — hmmm. So the title now says it all. Reader’s Digest version: AJ sleeps on the same thread count sheets as Oprah; BP ‘ 2 credits shy’ and yet SO eloquent — did any of you catch the Namibia interview where AJ couldn’t stop yakking and Brad just said ‘hmphh’. Sure you did. Such love there. AC/AJ — AJ talks fast at first and then cannot finish a sentence because she needs more schooling after 5 yrs ‘in the field’ — ‘hmphh’. Me, no posts after Mangelina posts (despite your paranoia), but glad my initial diplomacy (er, isn’t that what your god is into?), created such a tsunami of foam. For the record, family and I are MIT, Oxford, Stanford, 1400 SAT’s, so I can recognize illiteracy and it bugs the **** out of me. Also, why be so cruel to someone who was cuckolded on a world stage (uh, duh JA) ? Really — is that charitable? Or ‘turn the other cheek’ — (cuz I do believe one of the many foreign Ameriphiles on this site actually paid an homage to AJ as a Christ figure! LMFAO) BTW — cookie, my original nemisis on my one and only appearance on this insipidness, you truly need proportionate response (see in the 1st 100 postings)…and…African Girl, I am convinced you are the 800 pound gorilla sitting on this site and swatting away the ‘flies’ who land on your bananas. When you are that rude to a newcomer, then F you. BTW — I have given time/money/work to charities since a little girl and have given to a myriad of causes in adulthood. Original post said — why hate on Oprah when she brings up the rainbow of human suffering/predators/pain, etc. And, no I am not a JA fan, nor an Oprah fan, just not an idolater (or adulterer) like you all. Peace out,
#1027 You Guys Are Nuts,Ok, I am not an American so my English might not be up to your standard, but I am highly educated in Your Country (USA)- got Ph.D. in Biochemistry- I am mentioning this because you mentioned of your achievement. I would like to shout out that I am AJ’ fan, and I also would like to say we as a fan do not think of her as "God". We think of her as a person who tries to be a better person, who tries to be of help to others - these are the reasons why we like/love her. I think you have very strong bias against AJ: you said she did non-stop yakking during the Namibia interview. I do not think so - I guess it depends on how you look at it. I think she answered questions interviewer asked beautifully. We, BAMZS’ fan, are from all over the world, and we are a fan because we recognize honesty and courage.
# 1015 | Anna # 1028 | NaNa BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
# 1004 | cain ITA, a friend stabbing at your back is not a friend. AJ is better off with this "friend". That’s the problem of celebrity couple, people don’t want to see them happily together. poor Brad and Angie.
Pitt and Jolie are the best, love them
Ted C. can say what he wants, but I find it more than coincidental that he would make such a proclamation at this time. When they were in Namibia, he didn’t say word one about the inner workings of their relationship. But now, after seeing the Shiloh pics, the Jolie-Pitts being stateside, and JA’s movie is sliding down the top ten box office, now he tosses out that tidbit? Apparently for Ted C. and the other sleazy gossip rags, proximity equals credibility. And by the way, when was the last time Ted C. was on E News? He used to have a segment every Thursday or Friday… what happened to that?
Good Morning Ladies! # 1004 | cain I have not read all the new posts but I am assuming that you are talking about Ted C column this morening…Here is my 2 cents.I would like to remind those of you who also read Lainey of what she has said about how Hollywood plays. Please note who is back in Hollywood also. I do not know why but I wonder if this "friend" is or is related to the "friend" who badmouthed Pitt on behalf of Jennifer. That this came from the x’s camp of "friends" to easy her return was the first thought when I read the article…. Obviously someone is wanting to plant the seeds of doubt in Brad. I guess the x plans on being there to pick up the pieces when Angie dumps him, I will put my understanding and my study of human nature and development as well as my own personal journey of growth on the line. And , not that this might mean anything to anyone who has not read any of Jackie Collins books. But she has been writing about the business etc. that is Hollywood for years and is very savy about what it is vs. what we see about it. She has seen more than her share of Hollywood pairings and she is at sure as she could be that this is REAL.There are several obvious fallacies in what "the friend" has said. FIRST: it is not true that when Angie is through she is THROUGH, Note her continuous relationship with her ex husbands - as well as former co-stars like Farrell. Next- we all ready know that she does not have a lot of girlfriends who she is that closed to that she would confide anything. Her mother and her assistant are her best friends. It sounds like it is either someone who is wanting to sabotage the relationship (I am sure a copy of Ted’s column will be sent to Mama Pitt by you know who.) Or someone from Angie’s past who can’t get over the fact that Angie has grown up and wishfully thinking that if Angie leaves Pitt she will be a party fun girl again. But that is what growth is all about. It the mistakes that we make as we grow up that teach us to recognize the right one.. There are many reasons why I have faith in the longevity of this relationship. Specially if they leave Hollywood which I think they will do after Ocean 13 is done. Or the x moves to Chicago and grows up. But #1 is what Angie "friend" is not taking into account about her and also what makes me doubt the source , is that anyone who knows her must know what we do. Her fierce love and devotion to her kids. The greatest gift a mother can give her kids is a loving father and home. Brad maybe easy to replace in her bed, but not in her children’s lives. As a child of divorce still in pain, she will not ever be the reason they are hurt like that. She has been the single mother to one child and she knows how difficult it is … Three kids and all volunteer work she wants to do???? Now only are men who with parenting skills hard to find, but seriously how many men are there who are her equal or more in her world?
Sorry guys, but AJ looks masculine. Always hated her broad ET shoulders. Just horrible.
# 1027 | YOU GUYS ARE NUTS–HMM. if you are so smart then why are you no only restricting your reading list to the cheap tabloids but specially trusting that they publish the truth. Please look up the difference in meaning and significance of intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence. Your educational resume is not what contributes to healthy relationships …It is your emotional intelligence— and from your post I would guess you are close to being emotionally bankrupt. FYI - Any intelligent person comes to the conclusion that Jen manipulated the facts to enhance her market appeal to insure success of her movies. They all bombed and TBU rode on the coattails of The Wedding Crasheres as well as Jen’s reminder that she deserved a pity movie hit because her ex just had a baby with his lover. You obviously have little or no romantic (or life )relationship experience because if you had you would be making a different argument.
1033 | Elena 946/ CLINIQUA______________WELL SAID ! ALWAYS ENJOY READING YOUR POST.more power to both of you !!
# 1027 | YOU GUYS ARE NUTS Congrats on your and your family’s achievements. I am sure your years of charitable contributions are making a difference. Still, no one is following you nor interviewing you listening to your eloquent comments, simply because you aren’t a mega Hollywood star. Whether you like it or not, and how uneducated you think they are, what Jolie-Pitt do and say get global coverage and make a HUGE difference influencing others.Unfortunately for Aniston, it’s painfully clear to the world now that IF she had agreed to adopt an Ethiopion orphan for example, Brad Pitt would have probably happily stayed in the marriage. His actions with Jolie becomeing a parent of two adopted kids and having one of his own in a year, does make Aniston look uncharitable and unloving. Nothing wrong in NOT wanting to adopt. Brad did try to cover Aniston unsucessfully in 2005 saying that children wasn’t the issue of their divorce. But it’s clear to everyone now that their divorce was because of their irreconcilable differences on family, not adultry as her fans and haters want to believe. Aniston maybe charitable giving quietly, but not as much as Brad wanted to be and now is, with Jolie.
Sorry guys, but AJ looks masculine. Always hated her broad ET shoulders. Just horrible. # 1034 | SR haha, If she looks masculine what are you say when you look at the pictures from Jen.
# 1036 | kristine - Thanks but I think I am just preaching to the choir. I guess it must be how Chris Columbus felt trying to convince people the world was round and not flat.
# 1033 | Elena |I am becoming such a huge fan of your posts. What a wonderful analysis of the crap Ted C is promoting lately. I had forgotten SWMNBN was in CA now! I’m thinking they are keeping the doors as closely guarded as they were before. I too believe they will no longer make Ca their #1 residence. IF the story of wanting a nanny were true [and I think perhaps that would be a good idea, specifically if Brad wants to accompany Angie on her humanitarian trips], I think that they wanted someone who spoke French sort of pointed to where they may eventually take up residence.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/06/22/EDGDOILN2J1.DTLAnd check out Lainey, I can’t stand her but we seem to agree on one thing…
i just saw this quote on the Americans for African Adoption website. it made me think of brad and angie:"You can always tell a leader - they’re the ones with the arrows in their back."ttfn
288 wrote- Malibumom - knowing from your other posts how much you seem to pretty muchworship Brad and Ange I want you to know that you post is a bit unsettling. I truly hope you are in no way suggesting we should feel the same way about Jolie as Jesus. Frankly I am still disconcerted about their choice of baby names and hope that ‘Messiah’ was not their intended message.I have no guilt about my failure to belong to the Jolie-Pitt fan club.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++#288-Your post is the reason many ppl get drawn into a mud slinging match. I challenge you to go back and read any of my posts or all of them and show me how I pretty much worship Jolie-Pitt. You see there is a difference between posters. Not all ppl who post on JA threads hate her and want her to die. By the same token, not everyone on BAMZS threads hate them and want them to die. But there are some who do. There are some who are vile racists and who have specifically said they want Zahara, Mad and especially Shiloh to die or be deformed. I posted another post before this one. It was not negative. In fact it was asking that both sides drop the hate. I can defend anything I say because it is not out of hate. It may be out of ignorance because I don’t know everything, but surely it is not out of hate. This blog is for everyone. You don’t have t like one or the other in order to post. With that said, I really like the BAMZS threads. It is not necessarily because of Brad and Angie, but the majority of ppl who post are so very intelligent. Some of my favorites are Orignal Curious, who I believe is a school teacher;Moi Jade who is a Certified Nurse-Midwife-PT, Elea, Guli, Juno,Cindy2. . .These women and some men are very intelligent and they have experiences to share that I have not had. One poster was a REFUGEE. I don’t know about you, but I am always interestde in intelligent dialogue and world issues. I’ve said what I had to say about JA’s reaction and attitude concerning her marriage. Last time I checked it was ok to have an opinion. Reading and Comprehension are two different abilities. One dooes not necessarily give rise to the other.
# 1041 | jizzy | June 22, 2006 08:25 AMJiz, you are so pathetic! GET A LIFE! BTW, who is Debra J. Saunders? Why we should care about her opinion??? And Lainey is just funny as usual :D

# 34 SR–Sorry guys, but AJ looks masculine. Always hated her broad ET shoulders. Now, that’s a new one. Angie. Looks. Masculine. Hmm. I’ve heard her called a lot of things, but masculine? I would think an X fan wouldn’t, you know, GO THERE on that one.gitane, you are so right: You can always tell a leader - they’re the ones with the arrows in their back.
# 1045 | jizzy | June 22, 2006 08:47 AM Jizzy Jiz Jiz … LOL I know I know you really have so much free time in your life. I envy you, really :D
1040 | Original Curious Merci! That is a two way Street. You, and the other women such as Malibumom and the others she listed are the reason I am here. It is a fact of life that we are known by the company we keep . A concept that can be extended to the fan base each entertainer/actor attracts, It is normal to gravitate towards someone who reflects your life experience. I was was drawn to those posts that reflected a depth of thought and deep level of emotional intelligence. After all , how can one understand that what connects this couple is that they found someone who did judge them for what they saw or heard but who fell in love because in each other they saw someone looking at them with their hearts . To understand that concept one has to experience it. That is what seems to be the big difference between Jolie-Pitt fans and Aniston fans.I think living in France is a wonderful idea on so many level. France is a mature society that has been there and done that so to speak. They have an appreciation and emphasis on quality vs.quantity lifestyle. They will halfway between Africa and Asia for any humanitarian mission. The teaching of French makes perfect sense. Remember that French was the diplomatic language of the world before English. Specially in Africa and Asia where french speaking coutries had colonies specially with the educated population.. I was taught that if one spoke , English, Spanish and French they can communicate with the world. Of course there are those who project to the point that they live in the fantasy that they are the the actor or actress. I am sure that there are many people like that who are the ones having the hardest time with Brad leaving Jen and changing the script of their fantasy.
I think Barbara Waltyers likes Angelina. Last year I was channel surfing and came accross Barbara being interviewed on INside the actors studio. She was asked stuff about the interviews she had done. She was asked about Angelina. She complimented Angelina on things including motherhood IIRC. She said something about Angelina deserves happiness and if it is with Brad she is fine with it. I think this aired in early fall 2005.
Elena (I left off your na on my post -sorry) you are soooo right. When an intelligent person has a discussion with another intelligent person, the conversation is never shallow, but informative, eduational and engrossing. I have learned so much about things that I did not know. Additionally, I am so grateful that our group is INTERNATIONAL! I am a scary cat when it comes to flying, but I have been so inspired to visit other places just from the posts here. Not only are WE able to dialogue, but WE are able to disagree, fight, argue, and then comeback and dialogue AGAIN-What a family huh? I love stef and blu and all of the videographers. I have an idea and pls remember I am so slow in the videomaking area. But I would love it if the BAMZS lovers would take a picture of some site that they love or scan one. It can be either a landmark in your area or just a scanned picture of where you’d like to go-I would love to see a video montage with music on that!Have a great day BAMZS -Oh yeah here’s a list of books I believe the Fanistons can really learn from:Here are 5 of my favorites!1. Ten stupid things women do to mess up their lives-Dr. Laura Schlessinger2. See you at the top-Zig Ziglar2. Who Moved my Cheese-Spencer Johnson4.Love you forever-Robert Munsch5. There are NO Children Here-Alex Kotlowitz
