Ann Curry Interviews Brad Pitt

Something is happening to you. This is not for … you’re doing more and more. Man, I got kids now. And it really changes your perspective on the world. And, you know, I’ve had my day. I’ve had my day. I made some films and I’ve really had a very fortunate life. And it’s time for me to share that a bit.

Angie says that having children really changes things.  It’s true. It changes … it completely changes your perspective. And certainly takes the focus off yourself, which I’m really grateful for. [laughs]  I’m really grateful to them.

You tell … I’m so tired of thinking about myself. I’m kinda sick of myself… I can’t do justice to it anymore than any other parent can. You feel that you want to be there and you don’t want to miss out on anything… And it’s a true joy. And you want to be there for them if they need anything. It’s a true joy.

Love. Yeah, it’s … oh, a very profound love. Yeah.

Wonderful.  Best thing I ever did. You know, you can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever taken on. And, man, if I can get a burp out of that, that little thing, I’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment.

Read the full interview after the jump.  The video of Brad Pitt’s interview with Today Show’s Ann Curry is below.  The recording is kinda bootleg but it’s the best available right now!  Check it.  Brad Pitt screencaps from Ann Curry’s interview in the gallery!

VIEW :: Check out the designs of the six finalists from Brad Pitt’s Global Green competition.

Brad Pitt by: Ann Curry

Brad Pitt recently teamed up with the non-profit group Global Green to try and spur green-friendly building in the Crescent City. I’m baffled because the people here on the ground have not gotten the money yet. They have not received restitution.

Nearly a year after Katrina, Brad Pitt sees first hand a city still ravaged. We can get in the car from this spot and we can drive for two hours and you will see this. We will see more of this. And it’s staggering. It’s unsettling.

By some estimates something like half — 50% — of this city is still abandoned. Yeah, it’s shocking. In one of our greatest cities. But you see it, it’s house on top of house on top of car. And this is a story you’ll find street after street… Imagine going through the trauma of this, of watching everything you own be swept away, maybe loss of life, and then sitting in this limbo for a year. Wanting to get your life back. But not knowing whether it’s even possible. Are there gonna be schools here? Are the hospitals gonna be up and running? Are your neighbors gonna be back here?

To this shattered city Pitt is bringing a new idea called green design — that is, a way to rebuild using materials that are less harmful to the environment, and cheaper for people to live in. Right now 45% of our pollution comes from the creation of our buildings and the operation of our buildings, which is a staggering number.

Not only are you talking about it, you put some money into this project? Yeah, sure I’m sponsoring this competition. I’m invested in this competition.

About 100,000 dollars? So far. But my goal is to see something tangible, to see something built that can become an example, a template … a flagship for other people who are facing rebuilding.

What do you say to people who react by thinking, you know what, this type of housing is too far-fetched for people that needed houses yesterday? Absolutely. And building quickly and building with as little labor force as possible. We are sitting here in the middle of New Orleans and they have a shortage of homes, rent rates are through the roof. A family living here is struggling with $100 a month in electricity bills, $200 dollars a month and you can get that .. you can knock that down 90 percent, where it’s $10, $20 dollars and it is possible. And relatively easy as soon as we change our building practices.

Something is happening to you. This is not for … you’re doing more and more. Man, I got kids now. And it really changes your perspective on the world. And, you know, I’ve had my day. I’ve had my day. I made some films and I’ve really had a very fortunate life. And it’s time for me to share that a bit.

Angie says that having children really changes things.  It’s true. It changes … it completely changes your perspective. And certainly takes the focus off yourself, which I’m really grateful for. [laughs]  I’m really grateful to them.

You feel that you want to be there and you don’t want to miss out on anything… And it’s a true joy. And you want to be there for them if they need anything. It’s a true joy.

And how cute and heartwarming is the mental picture of brad burping Shiloh or Zee? I know how wonderful it was seeing my man doing those things for our children. It makes you fall in love with them even more. Angie’s a lucky girly girl!

I’m sorry but where is the link to the Anne Curry interview video?

GOD AM REALLY JEALOUS OF ANGELINA.SHE IS VERY SEXY,MOST BEAUTIFUL,HAVE 3 WONDERFUL KIDS AND SHE HAS BRAD PITT!BRAD PITT MAN!!!BRAD STILL VERY VERY HOT AND HANDSOME.GOD I WISH IM ANGELINA.HIS EYES,LIPS,NOSE,HAIR.EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!

Jared:You were so missed! Thank you thank you thank you for the new thread on Brad. The older thread was over into the 1900+ and getting harder to load. I’m glad I saw the interview for myself on NBC. Thanks also for posting it here.

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 9:48 am

We missed you Jared, welcome back and thank you for the new thread and the video. You are Simply the Best Jared

SAD BRAD !!!Angie you can do so much better !!…………….

dragonfly @ 07/17/2006 at 9:52 am

I watched the interview this morning on the Today Show, and it was very nice. Yes, love is grand, especially when I it is such a great love that it causes you to step outside of yourself and see, really see, the world around you. Yeah, Brad’s a changed man, for the better. No longer playing Ken to somebody else’s idea of Barbie, he’s now with someone who suits him much better, loves him for he truly is and wants to be, and has made all his dreams come true. Angie is the great love of his life, and when the last chapter of of his life is written, it will be her who will be recognized as just that. The others won’t even garner a mention, because the best is yet to come for he and Angie. They are going to accomplish great things together, I am sure of it.

ITA with Dragonfly: When Angie’s name was mentioned, it was like a change in look and change in perspective….I got that from the slight mention of her name. Oh, perhaps it was me….Oh well, I am happy that a burp from Z or Shi gives him joy. He is the best and I wish nothing but the best of health and happiness to his family. Jared - thanks for the new thread. You are truly the best and sorry to bother you while on vacation.

Welcome back j@red!!thanks for this new thread! I can;t wait to see the interview today.

Oh no, Renee, it isn’t just you! LOL! He even blushed a little! hee hee! He’s so in love with her, it’s like he’s feeling it for the first time. That look was pricelss! I told you guys I am just a hopeless romantic…

Original jpf @ 07/17/2006 at 10:01 am

I was wondering….is this the show Meredith Viera is supposed to co-host soon??? If so, how’s the hag gonna deal with all the pro-Jolie-Pitt love???She always had something up her butt whenever they were mentioned at the view…at least the times I saw her….

Original jpf @ 07/17/2006 at 10:08 am

I’m looking very forward to Gitane’s pov of this interview since she’s actually one who’s been displaced by KATRINA.jpf

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 10:08 am

So there is more interview to come from Brad tomorrow cool, I love the first part of the interview so far, can’t wait for tomorrow

Did you see that blush? He is in love. He makes me want to go to New Orleans and help.

I am a hopeless romantic too. Thanks Jared for this and the other thread. Believe me, you were missed and it’s because you spoil us like this. You are the best. :)

Wonderwoman @ 07/17/2006 at 10:13 am

This is great news for the Katrina victims!God bless you, Brad!

I am in the minority in my community in thinking Brad and Angelina are beautiful people. Some have become disenchanted with them. I on the other hand think they are courageous, brave and wise in their endeavors. Sure they use the media to their benefit but also the great benefit of others. I say they’re fabulous people and we need to learn something from them. I think God blesses efforts of those with good hearts and great actions.

about the interview…OK, he looked good..and hottie ,but in love with angelina? no,sorry he is in love with his children.

Did you see that blush? He is in love. He makes me want to go to New Orleans and help.>>>I do think he’s in love with Angelina, for sure, but he was probably thinking/speaking of his children if he blushed…I didn’t get to see the interview, but what he said about the kids just was swoon worthy. I love that, like with the pictures of Shiloh, he’s using his fame and celebrity to draw attention to something that needs drawing attention to - continuing to rebuild New Orleans

Thanks Jared for providing the link to the designs. It looks like a lot of time and energy was put into those designs. Hopefully, as soon the final decision is made on the designs, the building process can start. I really hope that this is able to help all those who lost their their homes because of Katrina. Thanks Brad for doing your part. God bless.

idiots at jossip spewing hateBrad Pitt is Sick of Himself. Read: Angelina Jolie is Sick of Brad PittBrad Pitt & Angelina JolieThis morning on the Today show, Brad Pitt spoke with fave Brangelina correspondent Ann Curry about his plans to help rebuild New Orleans. Between professing his love for the babies Jennifer Aniston wouldn’t give him, repeating the word "staggering," and admitting that he is just regurgitating the same things Angelina Jolie says, the most profound statement just fell out of his mouth. I’m so tired of thinking about myself. I’m kinda sick of myself.Since the boy has not an original thought in his head, we are going to take this as a sign that Angelina is close to dropping her little pet project. Oh, and Brad? We completely agree.

creativegirl @ 07/17/2006 at 10:18 am

They are going to accomplish great things together, I am sure of it. # 15 | dragonfly I totally agree. I think they will put their white hot celebrity to its ultimate use and bring awareness and make a real difference in this world both here and abroad.

Welcome back Jared, you were missed! Incredibly how things get on track now that you´re here. Thank you for the thread, caps, and video.

# 35 | creativegirl I for one, do that all the time.It´s some "BAMZS fans" that are quite rude but I had my time with them. Now I´m on "ignore mode"

ela,ela,ela.you really make me laugh.he.he.he.he.why?why?why?brad is totally in love with angelina jolie.THE ANGELINA JOLIE.why the hate?why dont u want to see people that are really in love and devoted to each other.i hope you as a fan of jennifer aniston will also be contented by the way she loves her bf vince vaugh.which by the way is not good to look at,with those huge forehead and eyebugs.hope u are happy with them,they are a good couple.i think they are match made in heaven.

#15 dragonfly ITA.I didn’t like him so much when he was younger.I always thought of him as the pretty blonde,empty boy.Nothing more and nothing less.But I have to say now that he has turned out to be a very interesting man.He did what everybody should be doing.Tried to become a better person.Now i don’t see him as i used to,but as a mature,interesting and sensitive man,a good actor and a nice person.He has my great respect and he has really earned it.

Original jpf @ 07/17/2006 at 10:22 am

# 35 | creativegirl I don’t believe in censorship, and I hope no one thinks that’s what I’m proposing. Debate is one thing, but the nastiness "FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE……let’s be honest here, and in doing that responsibility for setting a negative course has to be accepted by both sides" that errupted these last few days made me rather fatigued with things all the way around. The love and admiration isn’t going away, but nor is the hate, and so I’m proposition since we know this already, why not start off on, and down a road different from the one we’ve travelled. Again, peaceful debate is one thing, but this knockdown drag out crapola is an entirely different thing.jpf

BAMZS FANS FAN @ 07/17/2006 at 10:23 am

From the New Orleans ThreadThis so Predictable.AJ’s interviews with Ane Curry shows how content she is with her Family, the Fanistons get angry, their hate intensifies.AJ’s interview with Anderson Cooper shows the family is still going strong, the Fansitons see red. The console themselves with the thought that "Okay, maybe it’s just her that feels good. We’re sure BP misses JA and when he talks we’re gonna see that"BP’s interview with Anne Curry shows that he is indeed a happy man. He loves his new life, his family and he’d never….Never go back to JA. Whooops! There goes their last shot. The Fansiton’s heads explode….spilling their already rotten brains all over and this is why none of their posts makes any sense. I mean….C’mon, Bad Hygiene? He is a freak? He wore chicken suit when he first started in Hollywood and my favorite…..They’re gonna break up in 25 yrs, well at least the idiot who wrote that one accepts the fact that these two are have more staying power than he did with JA. So I was thinking….if individual interviews can get them all worked up, what happens when the two come together for an interview…haaaaaaaaa! Yep, that’s all we’re gonna hear as the the Fanistons jump off cliffs, bridges, tall buildings and hanging off ropes.So let me get another thing straight, people thought he looked haggard….hmmm, let’s see the man has a four yrs old, an 18month old and a baby. There’s no denying he’s is a hands on papa….yet we expect him to come out looking all GQed up? Anyone remember Ben Affleck after Jennifer Garner had the baby? He’s the only one I can think of because unlike BP, the razzi’s aren’t interested in other new papas…..well except TC and there is a logical explanation for him not looking worn out. He has no baby but I digress. So we have a man who has three children under five, each needing papa’s special attention…okay, that’s one. Then #2, he doesn’t care about his appearance like he did in the past becuase he’ now realized that there are far more important things in the world than to be the the most beautiful man in the world. That is okay for a 24 yrs old man but he is 42, which brings me to #3, the man is 42 yrs old…please give him a break. It would have been nice if he got the chance to be a daddy at 35 but it wasn’t in the cards for him…ot it was but somone tore up the card. #4, he knows the razzi’s are on his tail and he’s not giving them much to work with and finally, the man is going to NO, a place of devastation. He’s going to meet people who have lost everything and you expect him to dress in his bestest duds? Hey, why not have him drop by in his private plane and a streach limo giving him the tour of the devasted areas.Re Lainey:1)What is a freebie five? 2) Is that a good thing?3) Does being on it put BP on some other level in Hollywood?4) If BP knew he was on such a list and now he’s being dropped, would he lament over it?5)Will his removal from the list change him from the generous, down to earth person that he is? Will it affect his children suffer the effect of it?6) Does he know who Lainey is?If questions 2 to 6 can’t be answered with a Yes! Yes! Oh God Yes! Then I really don’t think Lainey is worth the time and energy. Sure she has loads of readers but stripped down to the very core, she has no power to change anything. So let her have her fun. And a Good Morning to all. Saw the interview and only and idiot would claim BP did not know what he was talking about. It’s so sad that people can see how NO is and still have a problem with someone who’s trying to help. Oh it’s for PR they’ll say and I’d answer…if only more celebrities will do more things for PR, maybe things won’t be as bad. Well I’ve to go to work now….guess that’s the price you pay for having a life outside JJ…oh and speaking of, Jared is BACK! Thank Goodness. DB….we..eh…appreciate all your efforts….we just want to thank you for opening our eyes to certain things….like oh….I don’t know….the fact that we are glad this isn’t your blog.. Now, we know you tried but you aren’t Jared. It’s like BP and any other that comes after him. Sorry. # 1909 | African Girl | July 17, 2006 09:34 AM |ITA

Next year we all have to try and coordinate our vacations with yours, it’s just too quiet around here otherwise. # 36 | creativegirl –LMAO

# 42 | jossip Oh for crying out loud…because he used the word "staggering" to describe something that *IS* staggering (how slowly N.O. is recovering), and its also a word that his significant other used in an interview means she’s getting sick of him? I know some here don’t like Lainey, and I don’t always agree with or like everything she writes, but she’s usually pretty spot on with the major points she writes about the Jolie Pitts and she says they’re happy, and together. People need to get a grip. # 48 | Original jpf - YES YES YES, I wish people can just ignore haters. For one thing, if people come in and spew hate, I think we should defend the Jolie Pitts, but defending them, IMO, does NOT mean trashing JA or VV. Leave them out everything, they and their lives and their movie has nothing to do with the Jolie Pitts. Trashing them or dragging them into it when someone attacks the J-P’s just adds fuel to the stupid, stupid flamewars.

# 49 | Alexanderinahey that was also my pick, but my vote hasn’t been counted yet..I even confirmed it..so i dunno what’s wrong.

The thing that I don’t understand is why both the funds and rebuilding efforts are so slow. This is unbelievable in a bad, bad way. I gave and lots of Americans gave $$ to Red Cross and other organizations and my employer sent health care professionals there. Is no one in charge of the coordination of efforts? Where is homeland security? Why is nothing being done? Is the mayor by himself? What about the state governments? I am very nervous and worried about this hurricane season!

I agree that he loves kids. So happy with having kids. BUT there is nothing, no indication in any interview, photo, or heresay from anyone, that Angie is the love of his life or vice versa. When I see Just Jared regulars write that, it is a bit delusional. There is much speculation that they are in this relationship for the kids only. Sort of an arranged togtherness as speculated for the Kidmans, but obviously not monetarily based. I do think they lusted for each other in the beginning and maybe had other sorts of dreams. But that seems to quickly changed… a relationshiop based on kids alone is not exactly a love affair between 2 people. As the kids start to grow up, these sorts of realtionships quickly fizzle. Besides, she is too much in control.

Original jpf @ 07/17/2006 at 10:33 am

It goes without saying that both Angelina & Brad love their children dearly but as far as the adults being together solely for the purpose of the children as has been suggested is inane. There are a mil ways that one could be accomplished without the adults being together. I only have to look at who these two are, and Angelina isn’t the type of woman, nor is Brad the type of man that would be with someone; live as husband and wife (taht IS what they’re doing) without a deep love for one another connecting them. jpf

# 54 | Renee - its a lot of factors. Part of it is the snails pace of government bureacracy. Part of it is that FEMA was been decimated by being folded into the Department of Homeland Security. Part of it is that the resources themselves have been mismanaged. The Red Cross is mostly for emergencies and helping out in disasters, which I think they have done a decent job at, but they are not in the business of long term rebuilding. That, IMO, we need to look to the governments - state, federal, and local. But the federal government needs to be doing more and making rebuilding that city more of a priority than it has. State and local as well, but how is NO supposed to get the resources for rebuilding when 50% of their citizens and tax base is gone?

Original jpf @ 07/17/2006 at 10:36 am

# 49 | Alexanderina Can we see the designs somewhere online do you know?jpf

done with you @ 07/17/2006 at 10:38 am

i just knew the haters were going to jump on braddy’s moment of self-deprecation. before you go any further, he means he’s tired of living a self-centered, shallow, golden boy life. the life he lived when he was with jennifer. now he’s got interests outside of himself. he’s got a family. he’s been blessed and now he’s in the business of sharing his blessings. and a lot of people are grateful that he is.

I absolutely adore and admire Brad Pitt. He is an amazing man who is right where he wants to be. At the end of the day, haters will hate but Brad is going home to a wonderful family who think he’s the best thing since sliced bread. If he never wins and Oscar, it won’t matter to him. If people stop going to his movies, it won’t matter to him because nothing can compare to the love Angie and his children give him on a daily basis. He is blessed and he is loved and he knows it. I am his fan for life.

okay this is the truth:angelina loves brad and vice versa.jennifer aniston loves vince and vice versa.are we done now.i hope everybody is happy and content about that.

# 55 | rac - Brad has NEVER (willingly or openly) talked about the women in his life. EVER. When JA would talk about their relationship, like on Oprah, he always said he wished she’d not do so. I don’t think either Brad or Angie would be together just for kids. Angie could have kept adopting kids on her own. She said she always thought she’d adopt all her children, but that changed when she met Brad - why? Because THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. They are in love. Together. Plain and simple as that. As for them being the loves of each others lives, I think that much is clear just from the way they fit, how alike and similar they are in their views and goals, and that is what we know from the OUTSIDE.

#26, Original jpf, I have been trying since yesterday… WE CAN DO IT!!!!!

Hey Guys-Well I got up to Cinci on the 15th. Now it’s the 17th. The computer has the same problem, the text is so small I can’t read it, so I won’t talk to ya’ll until the 30th.I have printed out fanfics, so I will post back my praises. Love the new BP pics! Krissy =)

# 56 | Original jpf ————————-ITA 100%. It is ridiculous to think that in this time and age with people that are worth MILLIONS OF DOLLARS…they would be together just for the sake of the children or just to have children….haters contradict each other…they accused them of being forward enough to just shack up together BUT they also accused them of being traditional enough to be together "just for the children"….lol, they should pick a side or shut up…whatever the choice I’m pretty damn sure neither BP or AJ give a damn about what the "haters" think.

Congress voted to get rid of FEMA, which wasted $1 billion of people’s money. Now that is very staggering. I see absolutely no one taking charge of the situation at the local or state or even national level. I too am worried about this hurricane season. It seems as though the only way NO and all the other places that were ravaged by the past hurricane season will get rebuilt is through the good will of average Americans and because of celebrities like Harry Connick Jr, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, and now Brad Pitt among others who are trying to use their influence to help the city and its citizens. I am very disappointed and disgusted with the way the aftermath of Katrina was handled. I donated money and other items that were needed but I just feel completely outraged by the fact that after one whole year, the streets of NO appear to be still in a mess. I know there are people there that are helping but the process is too slow and I wonder how many people will be willing to come back by the time everything is rebuilt.

Maniston, hey girl, I second that!!!

# 58 | Original jpf Global Green

# 66 | syd - FEMA wasted money because homeland security has hampered its effectiveness. But yes, there were/are failures on EVERY level of government. Its going to take a decade, at least, to rebuild New Orleans. Its sad though, that its taken this long, almost a year, just to clean up debris, and even that hasn’t really happened to the extent that it should.

#26 / Original JpfI agree….it’s not as fun as it used to be, I mean I still get a chuckle here and there but the pity I feel for them outweighs the "funniness" of their posts. It breaks my heart to see ignorance so proudly displayed to the world. When you try to help, it is rebuffed besides, responding to their idiotic posts one gives them a false sense that they are right. The last thing we wanna do is add credence to their nonsense.Now I really must go. God! It’s so hard to tear myself away from the comp. Of course Jared had to pick a monday to make his return…what happened to Friday, Saturday or even sunday? Ahh, you’re still good in my book, Jared. BBL. Have a wonderful day all (Yes, including non fans. I know it’s gonna be hard but try…okay?)

FITR: Thanks for the response and really I don’t know how else to respond in-kind. It is very frustrating to be on the ‘outside looking in’. If it can happen there in New Orleans than why not where I live? I am grateful that Brad and others are doing their part and at least there is some hope. But realistically speaking, this is the role and importance of government; this is why we pay taxes. ‘If the government can not protect its people from natural and man-made disasters, then what is its purpose?Syd: I have actually thought about relocating back to New Orleans. I lived there is the early 90’s. I love to move from place to place – get bored very easily and being a military brat and stint in the Navy has led to that lifestyle. However, I CAN NOT do it knowing that electricity, water, food, housing, and general coordination of efforts is scarce. I haven’t checked the job market but what is a job is you have no home, no food, no water.

Brad Pitt on Having Kids: ‘A True Joy’By Stephen M. SilvermanHaving children is the best thing Brad Pitt ever did, he says."It really changes your perspective on the world, Pitt, 42, said during a Today show interview aired Monday morning. "You know, I’ve had my day. I made some films, and I’ve really had a very fortunate life, and it’s time for me to share that a little bit." Admitting that he shares his partner Angelina Jolie’s belief in contributing to humanitarian causes, Pitt also credits the couple’s kids – Maddox, 4, Zahara, 1, and newborn daughter Shiloh – with the shift in his attitude. Having children, he says, "completely changes your perspective and certainly takes the focus off yourself, which I’m really grateful for." Chuckling, he added: "I’m so tired of thinking about myself. I’m sick of myself." Of parenting, he says: "You feel you want to be there and not miss out on anything. It’s a true joy (and) a very profound love. You can write a book, you can make a movie, you can paint a painting, but having kids is the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever taken on." More on this storyWelcome, Baby Shiloh!And of Shiloh, he revealed: "Man, if I can get a burp out of that little thing I feel such a sense of accomplishment." Pitt’s interview took place during his weekend visit to New Orleans, where he met with community leaders to lend his support to a Global Green effort for affordable, eco-friendly housing. "It’s shocking," Pitt said of the lack of progress in the hurricane-ravaged area. "Driving by houses in the Ninth Ward … it is just devastating." Pitt in New Orleans on July 14, 2006.Photo by: Cheryl Gerber / Splash NewsGlobal Green USA is providing technical assistance in green standards for 10,000 buildings in New Orleans. It opened a resource center in the city last month to give residents free design advice and information about environmentally friendly building products and strategies. Pitt’s participation includes his sponsorship and $100,000 investment in an architectural competition to green design a 12-unit apartment complex. (The contest drew 3,000 applicants from around the globe and has now been narrowed down to six finalists.) "My goal," Pitt said on Today, "is to see something tangible, to see something built that can become an example, a template … a flagship for other people who are facing rebuilding.

Brad the type of man that would be with someone; live as husband and wife (taht IS what they’re doing) without a deep love for one another connecting them. jpf # 56 | Original jpf |==========================I don’t even know how to respond to people that Claim that Brad and Angelina do not love each other. I mean where is the logic. This man that can have anyone, can go anywhere, live anywhere. waist his time living with a Gorgeous, intelligent, worldly, respected, with a heart of gold, That he,, Ahem,,, does not love,, Yeah right, Like I said, I just don’t know how to respond to something so insane. He has decided to spend the rest of his life with a women he does not love. He has decided to adopt a womens children, that he does not love. He has chosen to have a baby with a women he does not love. umm Humm, that makes sooooo much since,,, NOT. He is so happy he cant stop talking about it. But He does not love the women he is living with, lololol,, I just feel sorry for these poor people that just dont want them to be happy, because of something that is missing in their lives.. I mean, how can you not feel sorry for them, You may not like them, but to claim they dont love each other is just plain silly, and sad. No logic in their claims, just misery. “““sad“““

thanks jared :) @ 07/17/2006 at 11:22 am

It’s sad that the only thing people at Jossip get from this interview is some stupid rumor to add to the tired old bermuda triangle story. They didn’t even bothering mentioning the people who lost their homes or even lives. They didn’t mention the pain that Katrina caused. They didn’t mention how many people are struggling to get their lives back together. They didn’t mention any of the stuff that truly matters in life. All they did was resort to some gossip. I know both Jossip and JustJared are entertainment blogs, but atleast people here seem to talk about things beyond celebrities sometimes. I pity those who will only badmouth Brad for this interview rather than saying, "Ok I don’t like him but what he is doing will help many people and I wonder what I can do to help", rather than "Gee I wonder if he loves Angelina or is it all a big hoax". Pathetic.

81 | lookwhaticando WELL SAID !! You speak my heart out !

Brad is the man! A very successful movie actor/producer, empathic humanitarian, a devoted father to Mad, Z and baby Shiloh and a loving partner/husband to Angie. What a complete package of a man and he still looks so good at 42 and the envy of so many. Eat you hearts out x-fans beacause Brad is better than ever!

I looked at the 6 final designs and I have to agree that the “Rebuild Renew: Sustainable Design for the Holy Cross District” by Ken Gowland looked the best. What’s great is that this person is from New Orleans himself and now he can help contribute to rebuilding process of his city. It looks like many of the desigers had the same idea to use planted trellises to help cool the buildings. I guess it’s a commonly used thing.

Bradforums… has anyone seen the changes they made..i guess by the next update, Angie will be eliminated from the forum.. Its kinda sad… there was nothing wrong with way the forum was… what can i say..

# 91 | Maniston I checked the site again & my vote is still not counted. I did confirmed earlier.. :shrugs:

This man is happy over the moon happy.He has waited along time to live this part of life, the joy of children, and finally a woman that is willing to consider he needs in a relationship also. So haters stop hating look at the joy on his face and thank Angie for being the best love in his life. KIDS AT LAST, KIDS AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY BRAD FINALLY GOT HIS KIDS, and he is just so blissfully happy.

# 92 | QQQQ | - You are kidding right, I am going over there right now to check this out

Like many BAMZS fans, I didn’t think much of Kennie Boy Brad before he hooked up with Angelina. But this Brad Pitt is someone I could respect. He had been talking about doing something for NO since September last year. He followed through in the most effective way he could, by sponsoring an architectural competition. he could have simply donated money but I really like the way he has tied in HIS own passions with his values in sponsoring this architectural competition and put in time and effort. He hasn’t just dropped in on NO and and tutted over the devastation but is doing something which will really help NO. He mentioned that the point is to get some of these built. It would not surprise me if he contributes money to get some of these homes built. BRAD PITT, you are the man. And I think he looks so much more real, so much better then the Kennie Boy look of bygone days.

I’m sorry I know this has nothing to do with Katrina but the recent violence in the mideast and between Israel and Lebanon is very worrying.I just wanted to get a first hand perspective of what was going on and at the Cnn website, people from both and Israel and Lebanon have posted their messages. The stories are heart breaking and eye opening. Here is thel link if anyone wants to read them. The messages aren’t long, but they do convey the fear and frustration these individuals must be going through right now since the attacks from both sides do not appear to be over. I sincerely hope that those people will be alright and that there is end to the violence, although that is doubtful. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/17/feedback.emails/index.html

Its great that Brad is trying to help, but most of what he said, if i recall correctly, came out of AJ mouth a while back, and I can’t say they don’t love each other, I don’t know them personally, but I have never seen them act affectionate towards each other in any pic I have ever seen..He always acted loving in most pics I seen of him and Jen..maybe Angie just doesn’t like to hold hands in public…

Thanks Jared for the video, YOU ROCKS!What I saw from this video is L O V E! Yes, Brad is so in love and happy and I’m so happy for him!LONG LIVE THE JOLIE-PITT :D

# 92 QQQQ I went over there a little while ago seen very welcoming if you like Angie

Brad is in New Orleans to help, not talk about his private life. People, get over it!! Why should his personal life come into discussion? He loves his children, he loves AJ — this is not an issue. I think the people who have negative hateful things to say live really sad lives. I’m sure none of the ‘negative’ folks have ever gone out and done something positive and helpful — AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE MONEY TO DO SO!! For all your miserablel people out there, why don’t you go and help out in a library, hospital, homeless shelter instead of writing hateful things about people that ARE trying to make a difference.

COLD HARD MATH @ 07/17/2006 at 11:55 am

WELCOME BACK, JARED!Thanks for the new thread.The man is HAPPY! Like I said once before, Angelina Jolie has a great career. She has three beautiful kids. She is a great humanitarian and she gets to **** Brad too!Life is just not fair sometimes!ROCK ON BRAD!

# 98 | Alexanderina | She is now in the co-star section… yeah, she’s his co-star

correction from Kitten the word should have been so UNWELCOMING if you like Angie

# 101 | j | And look what happened to relationship between him and JA. Divorce. They both moved on quickly and that should tell you that they were both ready to get out of that marriage quickly. Regarding PDA, i don’t even like regular couples doing that in public. If they show PDA, its a damned if they do and damned if they don’t kinda of thing. Someone will say see they are in love , while the other side will say its a publicity stunt. They can’t win so I think it’t better that they do what they think is right for them rather than polling the public on whether they should show PDA or not. It’s their life and if they chose to not show their feelings in public, that I can respect that.

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 12:03 pm

# 92 QQQQ - I guess that wants it to be focus more on Brad and his humantarian work etc, and they figure it was becoming less about Brad and more about his personal live, more about gossips and I guess more about Angelina, and since its a Brad Site they want him to be about him and less on other stuff. I guess it okay after all they can do whatever they want;l they created the Bradforums. Well that my take on the changes over at Bradforums.

Actually, Brad and Angie have held hands in public and there were pictures. I too would like to see more PDA, but maybe thats just not them. Brad never has been like that, and maybe Angie is rethinking how she used to do things with PDA (thank god, to an extent). The pictures of Brad and JA that you probably were referring to, was it maybe because thats what JA wanted? Plus, it was mostly on red carpets. Brad and Angie haven’t been to any red carpets together with the exception of the M&MS premiere, and their relationship was still on the low then.

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 12:07 pm

# 106 | QQQQ | - Yeah I saw that as well, she was his co-star but now she is the mother of his children and his partner, you think they would’ve have more respect for her than that, but like I said before, they created the forums, so I guess they can do whatever they want to it

You know what amazes me that people who call them self brad pitt fans and have a website for him, they also talk about how much they love him. But they hate the people who he loves.If you love brad you will love those he lovesIf you hate brad you will hate those he loves

She is now in the co-star section… yeah, she’s his co-star # 106 | QQQQ————————–Damn, at least in souliejolie, Brad is listed under Angie’s family.Co-star? is that how they treat the mother of Brad’s kids?

# 106 | QQQQ | July 17, 2006 11:56 AM God, I just went to that forum and I feel so sad about it : ( After almost 2 years with him, go through everything good or bad with him, Angie is just his co-star…OK! I ban this forum!

What a really great guy. I love that while envious people debate whether he loves Angie or not, he is actively living his life and loving with all of his heart. Angie and Brad, it is possible to have it all…Congratulations on the solid, unselfish life you both are living, with your love for each other and your kids, you are able to contribute tremendously to the needs of others.God bless you…no wait…He already has.

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 12:16 pm

is that how they treat the mother of Brad’s kids?# 113 | Co-star | - ————————————————–I guess so, it very sad.

Re: Bradforums - So, Brad and his children are under ‘Personal Brad’. But Angie, the mother of his children will go under ‘Brad’s co-star’ – hmmThat is messed up. Even at SoulieJolie Brad has a thread under Angie’s family…Never thought that Angie’s fan would be most respectful….

You can make suggestions to them that you like the old format better.

he is actively living his life and loving with all of his heart.I love that, :-)Bradforums breaks my heart, I guess they don’t love and appreciate Angie as much as we do.Brad would not approve of the changes to his forum , they should have run it by him first. LOL!

I have to say I was a Angie fan first and now not only am I fan of Brad but the entire family, so it’s sad to know that Bradforums decided to make the changes that they did. The fact that Angelina started dating him and let him into her and Maddox’s life is why I decided to give Brad another look. I though he was just a ken doll but looking at his movies and the change in him in the past year makes me realize he is much more than people want to give him credit for. I only wish that forum would recognize that Angie is also a person that is much more than just Brad’s "Co -star".

RE: my last quote — Sorry, SORRY SORRY - no offense to Angie fans…As a Brad fan, I just , I just expected SO MUCH better…..

You can still talk about Brad and Angie under the "Personal Brad" forum, as you see, there are many, many of the old threads and topics still on Brad and Angie and anything that has to do with the BOTH of them under the personal stuff, but its just all Angie-only topics are moved. It kinda makes sense, but the only thing I don’t necessarily agree with is calling Angie just a co-star, because she’s CLEARLY much, much more than that. I’d read Libby’s explanation though, it makes sense, even if calling Angie just a co-star to Brad is a little, well….cold.

go to ww.usmagazine.com…………..they are so anti brad and angie!!

Who cares? @ 07/17/2006 at 12:31 pm

go to ww.usmagazine.com…………..they are so anti brad and angie!! # 123 | we———————-Who cares about US magazine? JJ’s board is more widely used than theirs. If I go there, I will just contribute to increasing their number of hits.I will not support a site that does not support whom I support.

I am not going to give magazine that do not respet this couple any time of my day, so I won’t read the article.

What a great interview.

Oh, I am so sad about Bradforums! I only just found that site, and only just registered last week. I enjoyed reading alot of the threads and lurking there, but now I don’t know if I want to participate or not… I, like many of you, was an Angie fan first, and have only taken Brad seriously since he and Angie became an item and are doing such awesome stuff.Are there any "Angie & Brad" sites?If not, I am sure it is only a matter of time before there will be. Oh, and to address this idea that Brad and Angie are only together for the kids… What? And you call us romantics delusional? Do you seriously think these two people live together and don’t love each otehr? That they have totally turned their ives upside down just to be together….. and they don’t love each other…. yeah right, and Micheal Jackson just likes slumber parties, too.I swear, some of the people here who hate Brad and Angie are meaner than a dog shittin’ tacks. Like Brad & Angie, I just am not going to respond to the negativity. I’m all about the luuuuv, baby. And there’s plenty of it in Brad’s face in this interview.

# 123 | we Thanks for the info. Man, I would never ever buy Us Magazine again. What a slant they took - about Brad being sick of himself as everyone is! WTF is that? And yet they still put Brad and Angie on the cover TO SELL THEIR TABLOID CRAP! And all these people who are so sick of Brad and Angie — don’t go to Brad/Angie posts, don’t read any articles about them, change the channel when the entertainment/news shows mention Brad and Angie. It CAN be done. I do it when mention is about Paris H, Lindsay L, Jessica S and Eva Longoria (absolutely can’t stand the latter Bi—). Makes for a lot of remote control manipulation, but it can be done. And I don’t ***** about these women in their threads on any website, because I don’t want to spend time on them. So conversely, for those complaining about Brad and Angie’s exposure (or overexposure, in their words), CHANGE THE CHANNEL OR DON’T READ THE THREADS! Simple!

# 125 I am not going to give magazine that do not respet this couple any time of my day, so I won’t read the article…in us magazine blog some haters are insulting brad and his family!

# 121 | Renee | July 17, 2006 12:24 PMOH! I know who, Jennifer Aniston RIGHT?My god, sometimes I wish BP & JA get together again for JA+HER PR+HER FRIENDS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT…HER HATEFUL FANS, so Angie and her kids can live their life in peace!

Waw, I think Brad really changed a lot. He is now a happy and content man. I admire him for that. I believe Angelina is the woman who he needs and all he needs. Plus their 3 adorable kids. I’m really happy for him.

Yes, it’s sad, and stupid, that some people will come away from this interview with only thoughts of ‘he doesn’t really love Angie’ or that ’she’s had enough of him.’ Are some people really so hardwired for gossip, that they completely ignore the plight of the citizens of NO, and instead focus on such inane thoughts? Reminds me of Angie’s interview with AC, and some people seemed to have a greater problem with the syntax of her sentences, rather than the enormity of the suffering of the refugees. I totally applaud Brad’s efforts in what he is doing in NO, andelsewhere. He may not be coiffed and tanned to within an inch of his life, but he’s obviously got his priorities in order, and all themore gorgeous for it. I really loved when he said ‘if I can get that little thing to burp, I get such a sense of accomplishment.’ That’sa hands-on dad for you! Can’t wait to see the other part of the interview tomorrow.

I don’t go to the sites where the majority of the posters routinely trash Brad 7 Angie either. I figure I am not going to change anybody’s mind, and it will only frustrate me, and I don’t need the negative vibes, man… I figure the whole story will unfold over time, and it will be a good one.I am glad Brad and Angie aren’t playing tonsil hockey for the cameras. It shows alot of class, but that’s just my opinion. I am sure they get freaky in the bedroom quite regularly.

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 12:47 pm

# 123 | we | - That is why I called them last week and cancelled my subscription and I got all my money back, pure trash US Magazine

May I know where I can read the full interview online? Anyone can help me with this? Thank you in advance.

he is supppeeeer hot!!!!!!!!!

Missed the interview but I love hearing about people growing and doing positive things. Great Job Brad

Seeing guys like Brad, Ben Affleck, Heath Ledger and Ryan Phillippe looking haggard and worn out from hands on daddy duty warms my heart! And this interview actually brought tears to my eyes. I love the kind of man he’s becoming. Next time some jerk wants to complain about Hollywood activists, I think I’ll figuratively puch their lights out. What Brad and others are doing is an embarrassment to the bureaucrats and politicians who seem to seek and hold office for its own sake. Public office is a stewardship not an ego trip. And Brad and Angie and lots of others are creating a sense of activism among their fans. It’s all good.

# 135 | anon9 You can watch the interview too. But I suppose if you want to read the whole interview, there is probably a transcript of the whole show at the Today Show’s Website. Also, did someone that there is a second part to this interview? I think someone mentioned that.

Heath Ledger..omg this man looks really old now!!and he is so young…he is getting bald!

Wouldn’t it be funny if US Magazines sales actually dropped when they run negative and fake articles about Angie and Brad? haha!!US and the other rags are only resorting to making up stuff because they can’t get anyone, let alone Angie and Brad, to give them anything.Like I said, time will tell this love story. And if we ever do get an interview of them togehter, the sparks and attraction will be apparent. I could even see it in the Namibia press conference right after Shiloh was born. They were both just glowing. Nothing does that to person…. except being deliriously happy. Neither one of them have had a glow like this before. It’s luuuuuuv, ya’ll! hee hee!!Love is in the air….

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 1:02 pm

# 139 | syd | - Yes the second part of the interview is tomorrow

Welcome back J@ared! we missed ya! thanks for the new pics.People have commented on Brad saying exactly what Angie said before. Well that’s because its the truth and they think alike too. What they both are saying (which is the same thing) applies to refugees, applies to Katrina, applies to poverty etc…. As for the comments of him just loving the kids and not Angie I think that’s a bit crazy really. They live together, he barps and takes care of the kids, they are parenting together how much more loving should it be? We are not in their bedroom or their house to see them kissing and hugging but I believe they do that very often.They have held hands in public and franckly I’m glad that they show little PDA in public, that way they have thier "special" thing that the public doesn’t get to see.They are now grown with big responsibilities to themselves, thier kids and their causes. Stuff like we should have PDA in public i’m sure are of not importance to them at all as should be the case.I love both Brad and Angie, they are doing a great job and are such great role models.

# 142 | Alexanderina Thanks. But I won’t be able to watch it then either but I can count on Jared. :)

I have loved Brad since IWTV. Yes, he was a pretty boy but so what? Who wants to look at the boy next door on the movie screen and pay $10 for it? Even when he tried to look his worse ie. Kalifornia, Snatch, still pretty. Now the last few movies – Oceans, Troy – still pretty, BUT changing. And now, NOW, I see it. He has changed. I can see past the pretty boy or Ken doll or arm candy as someone alerted to before. He is so much more than just a handsome face. He looks and acts like a real man. And that is shocking to most women as we don’t see that very often as you can tell by some of the posts we have to endure. This is a real man who goes after what he wants, a man who is through with searching about life and what it takes to be happy. And being happy includes burping his baby. Here is a man who could have any woman or man if he desired, but he would rather play with Mad and Z. IMO a real man does more than provide financially for his family, he is there emotionally and physically. I am really jealous of Angie. Actually, sometimes I am just as jealous of Brad – LOL Not really jealous but you know what I mean….# 130 | gilly | July 17, 2006 12:40 PM – I am confused? What are you talking about?

The interview is on the youtube on top with Ms. Reed.

dragonfly @ 07/17/2006 at 1:09 pm

Oh, I just gotta say, most men (at least the heterosexual ones, anyway) are not worth a good goddamn until they are 40 anyway. It’s true! It takes most of them that long to figure things out and "get sick of themselves" as Brad said. There’s something about a man who has reached this milestone in life that is too sexaaay. It’s the self-assurance, the confidence, and just the knowledge that comes from living enough years to know it is and is not that you want out of life.Brad wasn’t happy before, for whatever reason, and he made a change and went after what he wanted. That’s sexy. I look at him now and just go, "Yeah….now that’s a MAN!" A real man. I love the way that men age. My husband was very handsome in his 20’s when we married, but now that he’s 44 and has that grey around the temples and those lines around his eyes, he’s even more beautiful to me. So those of you calling Brad old and such, well….. you just need a little more life experience before you can appreciate this fully.

THANK YOU JARED FOR 2 NEW THREADS…now I have to go back and forth to keep up….this one already over 100 posts…goodness…reading backward again *sighed*.Goodmorning ladies, how is everyone this morning, a little of a out of topic…one of my best friend had just told me that his whole family is now trapped in Lebanon, the route to get out is not easy if you are not an american citizens and even his sister with 2 children, who are american Citizens, still have problem getting out, the American ambassy is closed and the aiport is also closed, the only way out is by car or train, they are pretty much on their own…they have evacuated many people to the countryside….please a little prayers for everyone over there…

The real lou @ 07/17/2006 at 1:17 pm

People we really need to just ignore the negative lurkers,there are alot of unhappy people in the world and certain sites cater to them.Brad has said he was sick of himself many times,even when married to X.This couple will never discuss their personal life and I don’t blame them.No matter what they say or do haters will find fault.This is what I find funny in this weeks People X’s friend’s go on and on about how she and VV will not show PDA in public because of the paparazzi.Brad and Angelina are carrying around three kids but X fan’s scream no PDA they don’t love each other!Why would a couple carring 3 kid’s around be playing tonsil hockey?I’m very sure when the kid’s are in bed they take care of business!

Love him…He looks mature, he is doing a great job. Of course he loves Angie. Why some of you doubt about that?…Angie is a very lucky girl, nad Brad is a very lucky man….

COLD HARD MATH @ 07/17/2006 at 1:31 pm

If Brad had mentioned Angie in the interview, people would of said that he was flaunting his relationship with her. We all know the man is head over heels in love with the woman. It’s written all over his face.KEEP ON ROCKIN BAMZS!

i what i really noticed about the interview is that his face really lights up when ann curry mentioned what angie says and when he’s talking about his family…this man is for sure deeply in love!…..

The real lou @ 07/17/2006 at 1:41 pm

I forgot to add Brad did not look old and beat up.He looks damm good for a fourty-two year old man.I have a 46" HD TV and believe me it shows every wrinkle and mole.You should see Terri Hatcher or VV in HD closeup,yuck!

someone gets it on jossip, is it one of us?comments posted on Jossip.comI love how the bloggers who can bearly earn enough to pay of the mortgage on their homes or pay for health insurance sneer at Brad’s lack of intelligence. Funny isn’t it how someone who can’t think for himself is worth more than US$200m and these deep and original thinkers are blogging about some one elses lives, some one elses actions, some one else’s words. As someone who is deeply attached to New Orleans, I think what Brad is doing is just great. And I believe he will find a way to build a few of those eco friendly homes even if he has to raise the funds himself coz well, he is worth US$200m or more and you, the deep and so intelligent thinkers will be still be just sneering anonymously - doing very little of value. You are so sick of him yet you still write about him. What a loser you are.

# 55 | rac This has got to be one of the stupidest theories EVER. And I’m not even limiting that to B/A. Get a grip…Angelina Jolie is just with Brad Pitt for her kids? Are you smoking crack or something? Angelina Jolie does nothing for convenience. Saying otherwise is just idiotic. She would raise her kids alone in a mud hut on the banks of the Amazon rather than be with a man she didn’t love and trust. She was perfectly content to raise Maddox (and any siblings) on her own BEFORE she fell for Brad Pitt, so that line of reasoning just doesn’t wash.

Hey IndieYou are back to Indie? Noticed a Mary talking rubbish last night….knew it wasn’t you of course.Alright BAMZS fans…gotta go to work.

Their opinions will not change and neither will ours. I’ve had enough of the hate. I just don’t care what haters think of them anymore. The difference between those people who hate on Brad is that when they speak out, they go to a tabliod magazine’s website to spout their hate, and when Brad decides to speak about something worthwhile like New Orleans, NBC flies Anne Curry down to NO so she can interview Brad Pitt. That is the difference. People can go all the blogs and forums they like to spew their hatred, but Brad and Angie can get a tv interview without any effort and what makes them great is that instead of using that time to defend themselves against those who continue to hate them, they use that opportunity to talk about education, the starving in Africa, and the devasted people that lost their homes because of Hurrican Katrina. That’s the difference.

# 158 | Passing Through | - Well Said and ITA, these haters are just to stupid sometimes, I think people forget that Angelina was raising Madd all myself and would’ve continue to do so even if Brad has not entered her life. Angelina is not the kind of woman that would stay in a bad relationship just for the sake of the kids, she is not that kind of person.

Lynn Campbell @ 07/17/2006 at 2:19 pm

TMZ.com is also running with the "I’m kinda sick of myself" heading on their site for the interview, and also a lot of negative comments, they have missed the whole point of why he made that statement. (ok - taking deep breaths). Somehow all this hatred is somehow still tied to X fans and I just don’t get it. Brad was in his 40’s and wanted children, is that so unusual? He’s trying to become a better person, why isn’t that a good thing? I am definitely not going to TMZ site or US weekly site again, it is not good for the blood pressure. lol

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 2:20 pm

sorry supposed to be "all by herself"

I’m beginning to understand that those who want to define Brad and Angie by X are the ones who write like this. They are stuck in the past but times have changed, it’s a new day. The vision will continue to move on with or without you. Long live the Jolie-Pitts.

He really seems like a down to earth guy…..funny, relaxed cool…and boy am I glad that he decited to grow his hair out again!!

Can’t wait to see the interview, I bet Shiloh is a doll, can’t wait to see more of her.

Hi all. I’ve been lurking but I am getting so frustrated with how people totally twist Brad’s and Angelina’s comments.Everything they say is twisted into something completely different. Even if they answered every question with a simple yes, no, or no comment, I have no doubt that all the magazines, websites, and haters would still twist their words.

"The difference between those people who hate on Brad is that when they speak out, they go to a tabliod magazine’s website to spout their hate, and when Brad decides to speak about something worthwhile like New Orleans, NBC flies Anne Curry down to NO so she can interview Brad Pitt. That is the difference.

That’s the difference."Well said Me. And is the fact that the Today’s show is the #1 morning show, that’s why B&A grant them interviews to talk about their causes?

oh jared! how we’ve missed you! i missed you so much that i’m doing a naughty and posting from work!brad is so wonderful. i could just sense that he wanted to gush on and on about his kids, but he stopped himself. it’s so great to see good people living their dreams, being happy and stopping to help others along the way.

I have no doubt that all the magazines, websites, and haters would still twist their words. # 170 | stardust——————————–I think the negative comments from other blogs are part of a sustained campaign to discredit Brad and Angie. Brad and Angie has certainly caught the world at its fee. Shiloh’s photos are the most expensive ever (I guess the final amount will run to $10 million or more). Some people/groups with vested interests are threatened by this. We are lucky to have JJ’s board to present another viewpoint.

# 148 | Estelle ====================I am sorry to hear that news about your friends, I will say a prayer for their safe return.

ITA with you Stardust. The reason the haters have to nitpick is, because they can’t criticize B&A’s grandcauses, that would casts them, haters, as petty. I don’t understand how you can hate somebody who wants to help make the world a better place to live. Even, I, would love X or Paris Hilton, if they decide one day to embrace a worthy cause and go on and on about it.

We should not be surprised at these headlines. I used to be shell shocked but now I’m getting used to it and I am really sorry for all these cheap entertainment sites. I am thankful I come to this site to get first hand information about this couple. I am well pleased with them. The truth of the matter is that the tabloids and all these enetrtainment people themselves are the ones that are not interested in the issues that Brad and Angie discuss, they are not interested in the sufferings of other human beings but only the gossip about Brad and Angie’s life. They ignore all the important issues and make innuendos about the little things that Brad and Angie say about themselves and their families. To them they have to have those headlines to attract people to them or their sites. They are the sad ones. They say that Brad and Angie talk about themselves, they choose to forget that someone asked them the questions. But let’s take solace that Brad and Angie are being recognized by the magazines and institution that matter.Angie has U.N. Citizenship of the WorldAngie has U.N, humanitarian award.Angie has been given honorary citizenship of Cambodia.Brad - 15 People that do America great, Newsweek Mag.Fans, the best is yet to come. Those enetertainments sites are for jealous and bitter people with little minds. God bless the Joile-Pitts.

I’ll probably be getting kicked off (I am aspiring to follow in Cliniqua’s footsteps!) the board by the admin folks because I just left them this snippy message:I’ve only belonged to this forum for a few months, but moving Angelina to "co-stars" is rather dismissive of her, isn’t it? If she’s not his "personal life" then what is? Brad wouldn’t even HAVE children if not for Angelina. Angelina IS Brad’s personal life now and relegating her to the "co-star" ranks is insulting and petty.Does moving Angelina to "co-stars" mean that there will no longer be any discussion of Jennifer Aniston here either? She was never a co-star and doesn’t fit into any of the other categories. As she’s no longer a part of his personal life hopefully that means she will NEVER be mentioned on this board again.

They’ve got his kids, photos, sightings, get to know Brad and my personal fave, "brad’s stlye". Honest to God, I kid you not - they’ve got discussions about the man’s jeans (dark wash, light wash), sunglasses, his hair, his jewelry, watches and shoes.

Well, PT, ITA with your message to Bradforums. Dang right Brad wouldn’t even have the children and the happiness he has now if he hd never found Angelina…. What’s the problem? Is it that they are not "married"? What is "married" anyway? I think people are trying to view their relationship based on their own Judeo-Christian framework, and you know… that’s not everyone’s way. Married means committed to each other, and Brad & Angie seem just as, if not more than committed to each other and building their lives together as any couple I know who has done the whole church wedding thing. I don’t think that should matter. Angie’s his life partner, and she’s more important to him than "Costar". It just seems insulting to her.

How can the Bradforums adminstrator put the kids under Brad’s personal life and Angelina under co-stars. Angelina is the MOTHER of those children. She did not enter Brad’s life. He came into their (Angie and Madz) lives. And now they are parents of those three beautiful kids TOGETHER.

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 3:35 pm

# 185 | Passing Through | - Great Post and ITA with you, I also left them a post telling them of my displeasure with having Angelina put in the co-star section,and you are right alot of people over there is very upset about that, I would not be all surprise if they change that, I told them that Brad on Souliejolie is under Angelina’s family section, because he is her family and the same should go for her as well over on Bradforums.PT, they can’t banned you or any of us for speaking the truth. They have to get their act together over there, Angelina is not a ******* co-star she is his partner and the mother of his children and they should respect that.

I think not showing any PDA is what driving these people crazy… the mystery of the duo. Mystery when combined with tradition keeps its sense of awe and wonder.

the reason why they put angie as brads co star is that brad started screaming his love with angie!they think that brad and the x will reunite! after the baby!bwahahahaha!love the bamzs!

I’d read Libby’s explanation though, it makes sense, even if calling Angie just a co-star to Brad is a little, well….cold. # 122 | FITR +++++++++++++I read her explanation, too, and I don’t think it makes any sense. Her whole thing is that people are discussing Angie more than Brad in that section and they want to keep the focus on Brad. Well, that’s all fine, well and good, but they don’t seem to understand that when you discuss one you’re discussing both now. For example - if things go OT about Angie’s past, then it usually ties back into the main discussion of the present. There’s no separating the two - and Lord knows we’ve tried to do that here and it just doesn’t work. People can’t outrun their pasts.It’s just stupid that you have to go to another section to talk about the mother of the man’s children. It would be one thing if she were an ex like the X, but that’s not the case. Personally I think it’s tacky and makes them look bad.

and by the way the great anustin want to have a friends reunion…..losser!check at yahoo et!

I like that part.Technicaly Brad stared in one Friends episode and that makes him a costar under the new rules.Angie is much more than just a co-star.She is Brad’s life for now.If they split then she will go to co-stars forum.I think The Moderators team is dealing with the problem like Doug Liman before MAMS was released.He didn’t want to nsult Jennifer’s fans.like any of the Jennifer’s fans would go and see the movie. There is considerate amount of putting Angie down and safeguarding Jennifer.———-I’m pissed off about AJ just being in the co-star section!! wth. hmpp

# 185 | Passing Through ….ITA…that’s so petty and rude of them….i also registered in there but i never posted…just lurked…but then i learned what they did with cliniqua and it is so true that the administrator are mostly X fans….I think that Blu has set up a Brangelina Forever blogsite but registration is closed….maybe we can ask Blu to open registration again and be part of true BAMZS fans forum w/ no haters allowed…..i love JJs but sometimes i got tired of haters and then my bitchiness comes out and it’s no good….my mom will be so unhappy if she knows that her very good dutiful daughter is being bitchy just because of celebs…lol

# 193 | CCCC ITA. People have barely seen any PDA between them except when they once held hands and kissed in Paris. They have been living together as a family for over a year and yet if you think about it, they have been very private with regards to talking about each other or showing any PDA. This is what is driving people crazy. I think what drives them nuts is that they have handled their personal lives exactly how they wanted to rather than what the public demanded of them. They don’t fall to people’s feet to please the haters and media, they do what they feel is right and people can’t handle the fact that somehow a person would actually dare to live their own lives the way they see fit.

Angelina is not the kind of woman that would stay in a bad relationship just for the sake of the kids, she is not that kind of person. # 163 | Alexanderina+++++++++++++++++++++She sure dumped Billy Bob’s ass for that reason. They adopted Maddox together, but you can’t tell me they didn’t have fights about his NOT wanting to adopt. I find it hard to believe that even BBT would be stupid enough to file to adopt a kid and wait until AFTER they got him to make it known that he didn’t want to be a father to the child. I’m sure Angie knew BBT would walk if she followed through with the adoption and she did it anyway. Good for her. Her being with BBT has always icked me out anyway!

Well ya’ll I posted over at Bradforums, and told them that I feel there should be a Brad & Angie section.I just can’t wrap my head around it…. the changes over there, I mean dayum… Maddox was Angie’s son before he was Brad’s, and now Maddox is somehow given a higher staus than Angie? He wouldn’t have Maddox if Angie hadn’t adopted him first. You are right PT and the rest of you guys, you can’t split this family up into sectons like that. It just doesn’t jive. They are a unit. It makes me feel all wierded out. You aren’t serious that anybody actually thinks he is going to reconcile with Jen? I thought I had heard it all, but I guess not.

I think Cliniqua has mentioned that anti-X cracks got her kicked of the board. Those moderators are X fans in addition to BP fans. I think that’s one of the reasons they got mad at how the threads would turn into Angie threads. That **** would never happened with X.

Stardust (#201) - I am in total agreement with you. BAMZS has a reality, which cannot be fully grasped intellectually by the naysayers. I find these naysayers themselves even in their own denial, find this family to be an exciting curiosity and wonder and is baffled in trying so hard to identify with them. They are mystified by the Jolie-Pitts and they don’t want to admit it. They moan, groan, chew and spew filth and that’s the best they can do to express their weaknesses.

# 211 | dragonfly You know the annoying thing? Mad & Z aren’t even OFFICIALLY his kids! The adoption’s aren’t final until Sept at the earliest!

I can’t come to grips with that fact that Angie has been delegated to the ‘co-star’ section. WTF is that about! Jeez, I am so tired of this crap. The last year and half has been very trying and HARD to be a member on some boards. I am tired of fighting with SO-CALLED BRAD FANS about BRAD’S LIFE. Because realistically, how can you be a fan of Brad and not discuss his family? Why, the kids are considered family but Angie is not? Angie is the mother of his children AND his ONLY biological child? How can you discuss Brad and the kids without Angie? So pictures of Brad and kids go on one thread, but pictures of Angie and kids go in another. Does that make ‘ANY SENSE ‘ to ANYBODY here? Maybe it’s me or are we dealing with some seriously FUCKED UP folks or not? Is this not the most obvious juvenile thing that RJF could do? This is no longer unreal but sur-real to me. He is with her. HE IS WITH HER. HE IS WITH HER. (get over it)I am just going to assume that they want a ‘weeding out process”. So, I have been weeded out. I am beyond deeply and profoundly disappointed…

Is VV listed under co -star in Bradforums? Because those fanistons at that site might want to know that the X is now ******* with VV, not Brad. Damn. Angie is a strong woman. So much hate against her. You know that if Brad abandoned Angie and even the kids and went back to his Ken Doll days, the public would accept him with open arms. In their minds, it wouldn’t matter to them if he is happy or not, as long he would not be with Angelina, they would forget everything and be all happy again.

I’ve never been a member of a Fansite that requires registration because of such nonsense. I’m sorry this Libby person can write a whole book of explanation but it won’t justify listing AJ as a co-star. The purpose of a fansite it to discuss the subject and EVERYTHING that pertains to his life. Okay he has three children…did the drop from the sky or did he find them under a rock? Pray tell…who is their mother? I have a question for members, when he was with JA, how was she listed?

Respondind to TODAY’S CHALLENGEOriginal jpfSorry but I just can’t help it being a parent myself I know how much joy a little baby can bring into the familly and changes you completly.We told you so ,have kids and your live will change for the better, I am glad BRAD came fourth and announce how happy he is with his new found familly thanks to ANGIE and the kids.Brad does not care what negativity is being said about him and his family, his outgrown that he is a new man who got of me me me ……..and went on to have kids to take care of.So you see, you know who you are so just put a sock in it because Brad is in love!

Now to me, they ARE his kids, but if they really want to nitpick over techicalities over there, then the only "little Pitt" is Shiloh. SO Mad and Z shouldn’t be there either! Snort! If the only reason Angie isn’t there is because they aren’t "official" then Mad & Z aren’t official either… and that is just cruel.What are they going to do with pictures of all of them? Rip it apart and post one half in each forum? This is stupid.

French Cut @ 07/17/2006 at 4:47 pm

I watched Brad’s interview this morning and I was overwhelmed by how much he is in love with his family and his life. No doubt this is upsetting to many people who’s mainstay is to try and hurt both Brad and Angelina. The fact is, they are of no consequences. When Ann said to him, "Angie says that" his face changed and you could tell he was trying not to smile because of where they were but couldn’t help himself. He spoke of his children with such warmth and enthusiasm and yes he blushed. He blushed the whole time the subject was personal and family. People aren’t this happy by chance. They’re this happy because of the love and using Brad’s own words profound love he feels. I’m so happy for Brad and Angelina. Those people who continue to spew such hatred are nothing but a speck in the existance if that towards these people. I’ve read about this campaign to write to Marianne Pearl and my only word is disgust. That woman lost her husband in a brutal, brutal killing. That poor soul was tortured, held prisoner and then beheaded while she pregnant awaited word of his release. These Jennifer Aniston fans who intend to write this woman to complain that Aniston didn’t get the part in A Mighty Heart are the lowest of low and all you can feel for them honestly is pity. They are the saddest of them all. They live in such a disturbed, evil place.With all that said. Our brothers and sisters are in Lebanon right now with the American military working on getting them out. I pray safe passage and God speed to our fellow Americans and others who are trying to get home.

#77 Both risk their career and image to be together. Is that not enough to tell you they are in love ?You must believe that he DID scew her before he was broken up Finally a fan who at least admits the truth….

CHM, you are right. I posted about that earlier. If they want to nitpick it to death, them that’s what they should do…. As ludicrous as that sounds, that’s what Angie not being there sounds like to me.Like I said, what are they going to do with pictures of them all together? How are they going to categorize that?Silly.Love your post, French Cut. I had no idea there were fans who were going to write MP and complain. As I understand it, JA was never even considered for the part in the first place.

The real lou @ 07/17/2006 at 4:55 pm

#232 French cut,Good post.Reguarding Brad forum I will not vist the site again and I also gave them my 2 cents.

# 227 | Passing Through I doubt Oprah will ever come out. After all she has to cater to her soccer mom audience. I just wrote it because we hear the haters saying that Brad and Angelina should stop talking and yet when Oprah has the opportunity to talk about important things, (which I’ll admit she does sometimes) but THIS is what Oprah decides to discuss? Of all the things she could have talked about, THIS is what she needed to make a statement about? If she wanted to talk about the topic of Gays, why not talk about the difficulties Gay couples face in society rather than something so trivial as squashing rumors about her relationship with her best friend. No wonder she gets along with X. They pay attention to these rumors and go all out to clear their names so they can keep the images they manufactured alive. Why give credence to such rumors by even acknowledging them? People will think what they want to most of the time, we certainly know that the haters have made up their minds no matter how many rumors about Brad and Angelina turn out to be false. I mean come on, did Oprah really have to spend a whole magazine article explaining that she is not gay! So what! Oprah said herself there is nothing wrong with being gay or not, so why make a bid deal out of it in the first place.

That just makes me believe even more that oprah is gay.

# 233 | howtrue Wow! Where the hell did you draw that conclusion from? X fans are really good with assumptions aren’t they. It’s just the facts they can’t come to terms with.

It is truly terrifying AND to make matters worse, we [the US] have so little standing in the Middle East now that I think we don’t have any options but to sit back and watch.

Maybe they could change the name to Golden Couple/Golden Days and then relive it all over and over again?

#233 /howtruePlease explain your logic. How do you infer that she believes they cheated?#234 / COLD HARD MATHGod, that will be awful. This is insane.Okay, maybe it’s just me but I think BP is telling HIS side of the story….he’s just not saying it like JA did. Read his interview in Newsweek, With TV guide and Now this….there’s a reoccuring theme there….Children. He says his life has changed because of his children…his children are the greatest accomplishment of his life….everything before the kids means squat. He’s no longer in that selfish, self centered mode, telling us that was where he was before his children. He also tells us his made movies, done his time….basically telling us he couldn’t careless of any "Backlash". Honestly, reading those statements leads us back to the reason he and JA got divorced. This is a man who wanted children and was being told to put his dreams on hold. How then can he not love a woman who opened his eye….showed him his dreams can become a reality. One day, he looked at AJ and saw his future in her eyes instead of just another Friendly face (Okay…I’ve totally gone Country on y’all….lol. I love that song by Reba)

# 243 | MOMMALIBU ITA, but say that to the haters and they come back with "It was a photoshoot. She was ‘acting’." The dumb jerks. Nobody can "act" that much love.

To all those here who have family or friends in Israel or Lebanon, I will pray for their safety and hope that they will find a safe place to stay till they can be evacuated.I heard there are over 20,000 Americans right now in Lebanon and with all the bombings, it’s very hard to figure out how to get that many people of the country ASAP.# 241 | Original Curious - ITA. I think at one point the U.S. held a greater say in the midlle east and our words were given more importance, but now it’s different. Even the U. N. ’s resolution against North Korea was decried by that country and it honestly had no impact at all. Sadly, I think if we have interfere now, we will probably end up being the one who gets burned and violence will still continue even if the U.S. steps in.What I don’t understand is how this started. I heard that two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped which was followed by the statement by Israel that they will do what it takes to get those soldiers back. Right?And I know Hamas is the ruling party in Palestine, which is really like Syria and Hezbollah, a terrorist group is located in Lebanon. Is that why there is tension between Israel and Lebanon, since Hezballah is in Lebanon? I am so confused. I can’t keep up. All I know is that the tension seems to be getting worse rather than calming down.

Okay I’ve heard everything….those Idiots Fansitons are going to write MP and tell her what….Dear Ms. Pearl, We think you have chosen the wrong person to play you in the movie about the death of your husband. You have picked a woman who’s consistently shown a strength in character during the painful times in her life. It is our belief that you should have picked another woman who needed the whole world to pick up the pieces of her life after a divorce. A woman who although has no child rearing experience has played a mother on her show. A woman who admits she is afraid of flying…yeah, we feel it’s this woman who would be most fitting to play you….as you moved from one place to another trying to find your husband. This said woman can barely string a sentence and Yet we think she’ll do well in the part of an intelligent person….you. Ms. Pearl, please don’t let the fact that she’s not a versatile actress affect you decision to have her play you in this compelling story. We assure that you’l definately shed tears when you see her on big screen playing you. Please take this matter into consideration because having America’s sweetheart play you only comes once in a life time. She is in high demand going back to her TV show and all so it’s best if you made up your mind as soon as possible. By the way, she’s not desperate or anything…..she just really, really wants to play you.Thank YouSincerely, Delusional Fanistons.

Hi everyone! I usually just lurk but I had to put up my post that I did on Bradforumsnet. What do you think, do you think I went overboard? At that time I had steam coming out of my ears. LOLPost:I am usually a lurker but I had to put at least my opinion on this subject. You (forum) sure are going to alienate a lot of people with this decision and I’m one of them. I have four children and to relegate this woman as a co-star is just plain disrespectful. She is an integral and very important part of Brad’s life. I view her as just a decent, kind, and thoughtful human being. She sure has put a lot of crap that’s thrown her way but because she ignores it and lives her own life to the fullest has just got my admiration tenfold. You can put a whole lot of reasons why on your list but to me it’s just a a thinly veiled dislike of her as a person which I abhor.

awww i love brad he is the best!

# 258 CCCC–Yeah, Brinkley’s husband shtupping a teenager! But he’ll still not get the abuse that’s been aimed at B & A–where’s the perspective? Granted, he’s much less famous than B & A and the teenager’s an unknown (till now), but it’s also because Brinkley is beautiful and doesn’t have the lunatic fan base of the X.

Well, I have had comments with Libby regarding ‘Rachel/JA/X’ and she was quite receptive and respectable even though my words may have been quite strong. I don’t know if others –former PTT CENTER fans – are pulling her towards there side. I know she could have banned me or given me a warning and she did not. I guess that just goes to show we really don’t know much about the person who sits across the computer screens…I have spent too much time on this site today. Take care BAMZS.

# 251 | stardust i’m a little confused too. IIRC, it was about artilleries, i think the U.N. and Israel (& other parties?) wanted to disarmed the Hezbollah group; hezbo has like major canons etc. Hezbollah (south beruit–sp?) also wanted to expand their country/state line. And now the other countries forgot which ones, are sided with the hezbollah group and the Israel leader wants the U.S. to stop the war between those countries since we are a super power nation.

African Girl @ 07/17/2006 at 5:50 pm

KidiBrinkley’s husband was with a teenager? Ay yi yi….let’s imagine for a sec that this was BP…..hmmm….okay, the world was SHOCKED at the Beach pictures so if he was with a Teenager….well then, it would be the END OF THE WORLD.

I do think Brad might have lost some of his previous fan base, mainly X fans or "Golden Couple", golden boy -toy lover fan base. But now he has matured he is gaining a lot bigger fan base as he clearly is emerging as a loving family man. Myself included, as I didn’t care for him much at all during the shallow Aniston years. Well done, Brad!

From the CNN website::Aniston: ‘Friends’ reunion would be funLONDON, England (AP) — Jennifer Aniston says she would like to reprise her role as Rachel Green in a reunion show of TV’s most famous group of "Friends.""The only thing I can think of doing is maybe for fun doing a Thanksgiving episode," Aniston said in a TV interview that was set to air Monday on Channel Four. "Our Thanksgiving episodes were really fun."Didn’t she say just a few months ago that she was "beyond" Friends and going back to TV? Maybe she’s realized she can’t make every movie with Vince Vaughn and nobody’s going to offer her these Julia Roberts-type parts she wants. What a joke.

Welcome back Jared and thanks for the new posts. I saw the interview with BP and was inspired by his committment and love for his family and his desire to help New Orleans. I love how the critics pick one statement and make it their headline. These critics must not have seen the destruction and devastation surrounding them. It is so sad that a year after Katrina not much has been done. Those critics who complain that BP put up $100,000 of his own money for this design contest and argue about how come he didn’t give more are sadly lacking in judgement. This is the intital phase of the contest and not the entire building process. I wish that people would think before they hate. These bloggers and web site caters to this hate and keep this nonsense going. This man is in a contented phase of his life. He is not concern with Hollywood and its trappings. Everyone knows that one year you are the hottest thing around and the next year you cannot get a part. That fact that he has been at the top of his game all these years speak to his talent, intellect and business sense. I am glad that his prorities are in the right place. Hate the man if you want to but people cannot ignore him.Critcis rush to this site and other sites to give their mind numbing opinions like their lives depend on it. I am beginning to find these haters amusing. I wish the people of New Orleans a speedier building process and I wish BP/AJ and their children much love and happiness.

Brad was a guest star on "Friends" not a co-star.

# 269 | casey Thanks for trying to explain it to me but I admit, the whole situation is still very confusing. Then again, anytime people decide to bomb innocent civilians, there is not much sense to be made from that. # 270 | asaragena - Welcom to JJ. And don’t stop posting now that you have started. I love Cliniqua’s posts too and since we are not censored in what we can say here, Cliniqua never holds back. She is hilarous. :)# 232 | French Cut |- How low can some fans go? I mean they openly wish harm on Brad and Angie’s kids and even wish death for them, and now they are writing to MP about their beloved Idol not being cast as her! Seriously, those fanistons have lost it. How can you write to a woman who’s husband was murdered while she was 5 months pregnant and tell her she does not know enough about her own life to decide which actress to endorse for her part??????

#238, Miss O, totally agree with you girl. Oprah spends too much time meddling in others affairs albeit she is a very kind person and I respect her dearly for that. I think she does get carried away sometimes. She should follow in the footsteps of B&A as they only talk when there is a message to be heard, i.e., NO Global Green, Namibia, World Refugees Why not let the media work for you? They are very, very astute and I think this is what is pissing everyone off. There is a saying "people who live in glass houses should never throw stones" because you never know.

I’m going a little off topic but yet on topic…One thing that must be done is the businesses in the New Orleans area must STOP thinking everything is okay as long as Downtown New Orleans is up and running. I don’t know how many times I hear prominent people come into my office and say NO is okay we’re coming back…and they say this because the Downtown expensive restaurants (the Brennan’s, Copeland’s, Emeril’s Restaurants) are back up and running…but that’s not where it should end for this city.I’ve express myself to numerous people already and I was fortunate to give Mr. Pitt’s bodyguard a Thank you card and letter (if he gave it to him…I don’t know) and others…if we don’t bring the people who actually make this city run back…then the city will NOT be like it was. Who do you think clean the streets? Who do you think make sure the busses are running? Who do you think cooked the food? Who do you think made the beds in the hotel rooms? The list goes on and on and on…I can tell you who…the low to middle class that’s who and it was said on the interview…if we don’t bring these people back the city will NOT function…I don’t care what anybody outside this city says, the Rich people say and the people who just doesn’t have a clue…they can say whatever they want to say…but no one thought working at Mickey D’s was a big deal…even looked at the workers as…well nothing…but NOW there paying them TOP dollar to come back and work in this city…because they are needed. But who’s going to work here with housing cost that’s tripled even quadrupled? Who? The middle-class and upper-class AIN’T gonna do it.Truly we…they…no we need to bring the people BACK to the city, pay them more…because seeing that they have moved out of NO and see what life is really like and how some people are willing to help them when they are in bad situations…who in the hell is coming back to the city that just want to screw them…make them work long hours for no money…can’t find housing, etc. I’ve heard a lot of people (people with money) they…meaning the lower class…need to change their way of thinking, etc…Well I say the people with the SO CALLED sense need to change their way of thinking and start thinking…NO BODY COMING BACK TO THIS CITY IF YOU’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SKREW ME!!!!And that’s the bottom line….I know I’ve got off track several times with this post but it pisses me off when people here…there…and other places can’t seem to understand why NO is the way it is right now. It’s like a business…you want a successful business…take care of your people and your people will take care of you! And I don’t mean welfare and the such…those with an understanding hopefully will understand my point.Now I’m off to take care of my kids…later BAMZS fans.

Kidi (#267), it never seems to amaze how these die hard fans of frivolous Rachel Green can’t see beyond her superficiality. She is so fake man, I can’t get over it! I honestly believe that she tricked Brad into marraige probably saying something like I wouldn’t have children until I am married when all along she knows (I am just assuming) that she cannot have kids. She is a farse and it will all come out in awash. My question is why would someone be married to someone she loves so dearly and not want to share… have an offspring. And she and her fans are all tied up in a knot because presto… Brad has a family and a woman he dearly loves! Beats me, don’t get it! I guess she was an "in between" as they say.

#246, Alexanderina, they are as pathetic as their idol… what can I say "birds of a feather flock together". Sorry, I am a person of quotes… I love them.

# 268 | Renee - I agree, I don’t know that I’d call Libby an X fan either, just because she doesn’t allow bashing. She doesn’t allow bashing of ANYONE…not of Angie, not of Brad, not of X, not even of Jon Voight when he makes some stupid comment.

crybabyAniston @ 07/17/2006 at 6:58 pm

I’m tried of spending so much time talking about Aniston delusional fans…so I’ll past that discussion.I love what Brad is doing in NOLA and I voted on the design from NYC GreeN.ola but my other favorite was NOLA shotgunLoft. I liked those two very much.I’m so happy Brad did the interview…he is so happy and content living with Angie and the kids. He’s so in love with his family. Angie has been very blessed to find a great guy like Brad who appreciates a good woman like Angie. Because when you don’t have a good woman who support your needs…it time to get somebody else and I’m so happy Brad did.

daddybraddy @ 07/17/2006 at 7:04 pm

Brad has come a long way from the guy who was almost breaking down on TV Dec. 2004 to this blissful man. God has allowed his dreams to come true.I think that what X’s fans are doing is so immature, even though they think they are hurting Brad and Angie, I think they are indirectly hurting the X herself. I don’t know how Vince himself will feel comfortable being in a relationship with this woman when her fans do not acknowlegde him.

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 7:04 pm

From Libby at Bradforums:Thanks for your comments, the kids section has been renamed as Brad & children. It wasn’t meant to be disrespectful, to be honest that forum was one of the last ones created and created more on a spur of the moment when we didn’t know where to place the Maddox, Zahara and Sholih threads I’ve answered your other questions/comments in this post. QUOTE(JaylaVan @ Jul 17 2006, 07:06 PM) The most popular thing to talk about these days is Brad and his relationship with Angelina Jolie. That topic is very hot. We’re not trying to cut down the talk about Brad and Angelina’s relationship, this can still be posted in the Personal Brad section. QUOTE(JaylaVan @ Jul 17 2006, 07:06 PM) What I’m trying to express here is that the fans are aware that there is more to Brad than his relationship if you guys feel it was becomeing too much about Angelina I sorry to hear that but I never got that feeling.I guess we got really good at quickly merging and moving the topics around then As the amount of Angelina posts that we were moving and merging was very noticeable to us It wasn’t a case of one of us saying about the increase of Angelina posts and the other two of us saying ‘yeah, maybe’. It was more a unanimous response from us of ‘Yes, thank you, I merge and split so many of them!’ QUOTE(JaylaVan @ Jul 17 2006, 07:06 PM) Perhaps some new things can be added to the forum rather than remaning threads and sections? Give the fans here more to do than to talk about his relationship. Not to compare, I have no other forums I go to so my ref. are limited, but at SJ they have little games and such. Perhaps that would help?Yeah, I agree with this. And we touched on it briefly in our post about the changes - how we want there to be more talk about his career and such but we’re the ones who need to get that sorted out. Which we’ll do If you have any specific ideas of things that we could add to the forum (you mentioned games and the like) then please do PM one of us as we’d love to hear them! Any idea is good. QUOTE(JaylaVan @ Jul 17 2006, 07:06 PM) I hope you understand what Im trying to say and take no offense. Because I meant none. Nope, it takes a lot to offend me online, I have very thick skin for online things and that wasn’t offensive anyway

I think I’m gonna gag….+++++++++++Aniston: a ‘Friends’ Reunion Would Be FunMonday July 17 12:42 PM ET - Associated PressJennifer Aniston says she would like to reprise her role as Rachel Green in a reunion show of TV’s most famous group of "Friends.""The only thing I can think of doing is maybe for fun doing a Thanksgiving episode," Aniston said in a TV interview that was set to air Monday on Channel Four. "Our Thanksgiving episodes were really fun.""Friends," which centered on the lives of six young friends living in Manhattan, ended its 10-year run in 2004. The NBC comedy also starred Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.Aniston, 37, was in London to promote her new film, "The Break-Up," co-starring Vince Vaughn. She gave little away when asked to comment on speculation that she and Vaughn are dating."Where did you hear that?" she said to Judy Finnigan, co-host of the "Richard and Judy" talk show."Listen, he’s a great man, he’s a great friend, he’s a great actor and so much fun," Aniston said.

BRAD SAID IN THE NEWSWEEK "15 WHO" ARTICLE THAT HE HAD ADOPTED MAD AND Z SHORTLY BEFORE SHILOH WAS BORN. SO HE HAS THREE KIDS!!!

I just saw Brad’s interview on Inside Edition. Their presentation was nice.

# 284 | jjoyHey there! My husband also relates to Brad, especially that "burping" thing. It’s nice that we both like the same people, as he also was very impressed with Jolie’s Davos interview saying what a warm person she is (the part how she explained about her pregnancy to Maddox). Thanks so much for asking about the kids! My son hasn’t had his episodes since the winter. He is still taking his "singular" (asthma meds, which he calls "my pink oval"). Indeed it’s very hot in NYC so we stay inside during the hot afternoon hours. Is Bay area very hot, too? I lived in Palo Alto visiting for 1/2 year, and I got many friends still. I miss it… I thought it was one of the best places to be in the summer!

off topic:A fascinating conversation between Tony Blair and George Bush has been caught by the microphones at the G8, when the two men didn’t think they were being overheard. It tells us a lot about the relationship between the two men, about the US-UK special relationship and the two men’s views on the Middle East. Here’s a transcript as best as we can make out.Bush: Yo Blair How are you doing?Blair: I’m just…Bush: You’re leaving?Blair: No, no, no not yet.

Didn’t she say just a few months ago that she was "beyond" Friends and going back to TV? Maybe she’s realized she can’t make every movie with Vince Vaughn and nobody’s going to offer her these Julia Roberts-type parts she wants. What a joke. # 273 | kidi +++++++++++++LOL! Dang…I should’ve looked to see if anyone else had posted that article before I did it! Yeah…that’s why I’m gonna gag. Three months ago she didn’t want to do it and "not just because I’m ABOVE it now." Now I guess it’s okay because she’s had ONE HIT MOVIE, so she can go back and mingle with the little people. *****.

Question, is Brad’s interview on Youtube…? Thank you.

Alexanderina @ 07/17/2006 at 7:44 pm

I just love this part:He said being a parent is "a true joy.""Best thing I ever did," he said. "You know, you can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever taken on."(b/>"And, man, if I can get a burp out of that (baby), that little thing," said Pitt, referring to daughter Shiloh, "I’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment

Hey guys dont worry - the people who say he doesnt love Angelina are just jealous cause they want Brad to love noone else. It is so obvious that he is crazy about her - I mean who wouldnt fall for her?

Awwwwwwwwwwwww! Alexanderina, I love that. how touching is that. He is deep and I love his quote… and that’s definitely one to add to the collection. Funny, Angie loves quotes as well.

Pitt and his partner, Angelina Jolie, have three children, 6-week-old Shiloh, 18-month-old Zahara and 4-year-old Maddox. Me Like, me like. This is the way most of the News Agencies are writing about the children. I’ve always hated it when they referred to them as "adopted" children.

I haven’t seen the movie so I don’t know if he did a good job in it. And within the last 30 years, Ben Kingsley portrayed Gandhi, Ingrid Bergman portrayed Golda Miur. Again, I haven’t seen these performances and I am sure that there were some reservations with these people taking on the roles.

Since MP herself approved the person chosen for the role, I don’t have any doubt that she did the right thing. You also might have an actress in mind, but you are not sure the actress’ schedule can accomodate the timing of the production and the rigors of the acting like learning French etc. With the modern day technology, we can pull off most things nowadays. Oscar winnings are made up of extraordinary things like this. Keep an open mind.

brad talks about angie in the interview with ann curry or just of kids????

NEWSWEEK QUOTE RE BRAD’S ADOPTION OF MAD AND Z-"Fatherhood, he says, helped accelerate his activism. Not long before Shiloh was born, Pitt adopted Jolie’s son, Maddox, whom she originally adopted from Cambodia, and her daughter Zahara, whom she adopted last summer from Ethiopia. "I look at [Zahara] and imagine what her life could have been," he says. "You want to grab as many of these kids in your arms as you can. They need our help, and we should be doing more."

#322 Miss OrleansI sincerely hope that you are not representing New Orleans. I am from the New Orleans area and attended school in New Orleans.

God help you for making such a statement and God bless the people of New Orleans who deserves so much more than what they have gotten for our Country.

#312, Interesting, Rachel Green (I call her Rachel Green because she is a farse, an actress) is such a manipulative sociopath and it irks me to death to think that she (Rachel Green) believes that everyone is stupid and can pull the wool over our eyes with that "American Sweetheart" label she was given. She is a DF. So let’s see, she meets VV on the set of MAMS but didn’t have a relationship until the divorce - is she speaking of July when the divorce was granted or when it was finalized in October??? I seem to recall that she was lap/pole dancing in Chicago prior to October, if I remember clearly. Also, that clearly states what a manipulative, conniving, dangerous, calculating specimen of the worse kind she is. She was basically employing psychological warfare while she was banging VV. She is such ******* *****!

Christine ClarkeMonday, July 17, 2006Perhaps whiffing the scent of her rotting film career in the air, Jennifer Aniston has announced that she would like to reprise her role as Rachel Green in a proposed Friends reunion show."The only thing I can think of doing is, maybe for fun, doing a Thanksgiving episode," Aniston said in a television interview on U.K.’s Channel Four. "Our Thanksgiving episodes were really fun."Friends, which launched Aniston’s career and made her an erstwhile hair icon with her signature shag, ended its 10-year run in May, 2004.Since that time, Aniston has starred in the critically-reviled films, Derailed, Rumour Has It… and The Break-Up.LMAO

# 333 | CCCC | She is going to eventuall slip up… she has contradicted herself so many times… Seriously, away from the CRAZY X fans, everyone now realizes that a MAJOR part of why he left her was because of children….even before Angie got pregnant sane people could tell.. Which single guy, who can get anyone he wants, enter into a relationship with a woman with a child under 5, then 3 monhts into the relationship ADOPTS a BABY (a girl) which i believe was his decision and 6 months LATER impregnate said woman. First, Friends was part of the reason why she wasn’t successful but now that she and frat boy had a decent movie, oh i wouldn’t mind doing the show again….she is so FULL OF ****….

Let’s stop talking about X for a while. She irks me to no end and I rather focus on more pleasant things like what Brad is going to talk about tomorrow and if Anne will bring up Angie’s name again and make him blush. Awww…that is so sexy. I’m feeling better already. LOL.

OMG…ou guys, I was dying ALL DAY…I could read the posts, but not respond on my pda….it was so frustrating….OMG isn’t what he said AWESOME…..I haven’ seen the clip yet - but am loving the transcript. …and OMG…was that ‘BURP’ thing LIKE MY FIC OR WHAT???!!! I am SO PSYCHIC!! LMAO!!Profound love, he sure as hell was talking about the ENTIRE FAMILY too, muahahahahaha….haters heads are exploding.Nah nah. LOL :-P

# 170 | ntt **Exactly all the people writing in blogs negative things about Brad’s interview does not equal the number of people that watch him on NBC or saw the clips on the entertainment shows. E channel, Access Hollywood and Extra did great jobs. Nothing negative.I think Brad looks great. I still would prefer a a blond in the hair and that his clothes fit betterbut overall he looks as good as some of these other guys in their thirties. Hopefully with O13 we will see him in better fitting clothes. I mean he has the body for it.#206 | creole I am glad People Mag is selling so well that it willmake $1.5 billion this year. Better them than some trash mag. Thanks for the link.

# 333 | CCCC …ITA…and her ******* are voting like crazy at hello mag…lol….they are so desperate for her to win this poll….pathetic….okay guys…bbl…i am going home….

People who deny Brad’s love for Angie is really out of touch. I was watching Brad’s interview on the Today Show again and I have to say that through his expressions of love for his children he is indeed professing his profound love for Angie as Angie gave him children and a new perspective on life. They are truly in love. I love this family and I am truly happy for them and wish them the very, very best. It is wonderful to see.

Re: Bradforums - So, Brad and his children are under ‘Personal Brad’. But Angie, the mother of his children will go under ‘Brad’s co-star’ – hmmThat is messed up.

Ahahahaha. They started by issuing orders to never say anything negative about Chin, then of course when we slipped and critiqued her ass for her pathetic back-stabbing ways, it was some of us, who got rapped on the knuckles. As you know i was ultimately booted for being ‘mean to Jen,’ LMAO!! I cried fould and still accuse them of working for the fanistons. Only thing diff between then and now is that they’re coming out of the closet, and can show their inner Chin, by relegating Angie to an inactive co-star list. They’re just as sick and twisted as female first MAN fans.

That was an ensemble movie. I don’t know if she could carry a movie by herself. Anyone want to comment? It’s ironic, because she and Brad know one another. They dated at one time, didn’t they? INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE days?KEEP ON ROCKIN BAMZS!

#338, QQQQ - Definitely she will put her foot in her mouth before long as she wouldn’t be able to keep track of her lies… she is so selfish and self absorbed and so involved and obssessed with what she has to say that she can’t remember what she said last. And yes she is running out of lines as well so obviously she would want to do Friends again… the attention is waning slowly but surely, she needs a gig… she wants to be in everybody’s face, she wants to show how stupid she is because she can’t be intelligent and wouldn’t need an excuse for it. I can’t stand people like that… irks me to death!!!

Thandie and Brad never dated. That’s another urban myth. She asked him to escort her to a movie premier in London because her boyfriend couldn’t while they were promoting Interview. Two sets of pictures were taken of them together. They were co-stars/friends. They never dated

# 347 | African Girl |You’re right about it being fun to see her writhing under the spotlight because of her lies but she just annoys the hell out of me.. The "woe man" is full of contradictions. How many times can you be misquoted?

Man, I wish AG!! (had inside info, LOL)You gota love the haters going insane today, they don’t know which way is up…first Brad is leaving Angie, because he’s fed up with all the kids, but then we get him taking adoringly about kids…Or….the haters are tryng to ridicule him because he and Angie once said the same words in interviews.The never do explain THAT ONE…Brad is fed up they say, then they’ll turn around and say Brad is whipped. Sorry haters you dumbasses can’t have it both ways.

I watched X interview on the early show for the break up and she was asked did you meet Vince before this and she said NO. She added it is funny because there were all sorts of opputunites where we should have,met but we never did.She LIED!

Thanks for the video and pics Jared!I think ALL victims of Katrina should get the same coverage but sadly they don’t. New Orleans takes presedence over the entire Gulf Coast of Mississippi. No one talks much about the entire cities of Bay St. Louis and Waveland being wiped out. No one talks much about the devastation in Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, D’Iberville, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula or Moss Point. Not only were homes destroyed but businesses, antebellum homes and historical landmarks. Jefferson Davis’ house was almost wiped away. Just a small portion of the main house still stands. If anyone is interested here’s a site that has before and after pictures of places destroyed on the MS Coast. http://www.sunherald.com/mld/sunherald/news/special_packages/renewal/before_after/

I didn’t even realize that she visited the MAMS set… when did she do that… was she snooping or doing a trick?

# 355 | liar x | She didn’t LIE, she was misquoted…. In writing the HAG said, she hopes to have a family within a yr, then when Access Hollywood ask her about it, she says she was misquoted and who has a family within a yr (of course a dig at Brad)LIES, LIES, LIES

Brad is glowing with love. LOVE FOR HIS CHILDREN, HIS WIFE, HIS LIFE. Accept it.

Off Topic:Another couple bites the dust:http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1183288,00.html

I am not wishing bad on anyone but with all these break-ups lately may be the media will give some breathing space to our favourite family who have been under the radar for almost two years. That would be nice.

# 356 | Lori Thanks for the link. There were so many small towns and cities that were damaged by hurricane Katrina but don’t get the same coverage because New Orleans is the city that most people recognize by its name. It’s always been touted as one of the great cities in America with so much culture that many see its aftermath as a symbol of Katrina’s impact on our country.There are also many cities in south Texas that were severly hit by Hurricane Rita and not a lot of coverage is being given to those areas either.This is going to be very slow process to get all these small towns back on their feet.

CLINIQUA! I was wondering if you were going to post today. I think EVERYBODY thought of you, when Brad talked about burping Shiloh!I thought this was cute:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=100504257509&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIXI wonder if Kingston has his yet!So FRIENDS may do a reunion show? *yawn*KEEP ON ROCKIN BAMZS!

JJThank you very much for your quick response !I was hysterical earlier, I can’t get to this site so I emailed JJ and he is asked me what operating system do I have and which internet browser 1′m using.. that adds to my hysteria so I finally I dragged my husband and told him to answer JJ email -he did and he put in the microsoft internet explorer… NOW I ‘m here .. Embarrasing but what can I do- too iliterate with computer- my husband told me it’s because i’m not paying attention to what he’s telling me. .. you know.. goes in one ear - Out in the other ear… LOL..I too happy now I got the chance to see Brad P interview - he is awesome. seems very.. very happy . . His smiles…. I loved it..

part 2 of the interview is on tomorrow. i really wish they would just show the whole thing at once. i had to suffer through al roker to see brad. AL ROKER! too, too wrong. and i shall have to suffer again!

AL ROKER! too, too wrong. and i shall have to suffer again! # 366 | gitane |————————————————–LMAO, sorry that you had to suffered thru Al Roker, I also wished they had showed the whole interview as well, but look at it this way, we get to see more of Daddy Brad :)

#364, MSNBC ASKS, thank you for the site. I like this part in particular: “…I believe, Brad has found deep love with Angelina. Angelina has found a soul mate who is interested in helping others with his professional success. I think this may be a Warren Beatty and Annette Bening marriage.”I really believe this as well.

# 368 | CCCC | I was just about to post the same thing, but my post dissappeared. It’s not just us BAMZS fans who sees the love…

# 367 | Alexanderinaall i can hope is that one day, brad & angie will appreciate the sacrifices i’ve made for them. i’ve had t
