Angelina Takes Shiloh for a Ride in Her Range Rover

Oh - and thanks to AG too, I didn’t see yours when you posted last — wow! what a wonderful, eloquent post! I am always amazed at the consummate literacy of the BAMZS fans. Thanks hon! (((hugs!!))) I won’t hesitate to say that you nailed it — I personally have NO agenda, I don’t belong to any organized religion, and if I am a staunch anything - it’s a staunch advocate of free speech and civil rights of all people. Very obviously I’m a liberal - no surprise. My family - parents and granndparents were baptist, and methodist and catholic. I just get so tired of those people that flaunt themselves as these religious and ‘christian,’ entities, so blatantly and obviously being the exact opposite. It seems these public figures turn out to be the most sinful, war-mongering, unforgiving, and often times bigoted people amongst us.

Why let the truth ruin a good story?August 2, 2006FEW people expect the truth from the ever-swelling annals of celebrity reportage. You would have to be mightily foolish or very, very young to turn back the glossy covers of the weekly trash magazines in anticipation of acutely accurate facts about famous people.That’s the moreish fun of the tattle rags. When a gossip magazine trumpets the beefy "inside" details of a celebrity’s love tragedy, love tryst, suspected baby-bump or excessive plastic surgery gone horribly wrong, readers can’t wait.With a collective understanding of the less veracious side of celebrity gossip journals, they push their common sense and incredulity aside, lick their lips and settle down for a jolly good read of some pertly illustrated nonsense.Of late, however, the goss mags have been pushing the truth aspect of their reporting down new avenues. Increasingly, many now publish headline and cover quotes, complete with quotation marks, that were apparently uttered by certain famous people.The cover of this week’s New Idea features a picture of Katie Holmes, in her first public appearance since giving birth to her baby with Tom Cruise, and looking understandably plumpish. Below her face are the words, "Cruel Tom Says ‘I Don’t Want A Fat Bride"’.NW features a story about Tori Spelling, daughter of the late television and film producer Aaron Spelling, receiving only $1.4 million of her father’s $650 million estate after his death. The headline reads: "Devastated Tori: ‘I’m Broke!"’NW’s cover carries a large photograph of Angelina Jolie flashing a steely-eyed expression above the words, "Ange: ‘I’ve Stopped Sleeping With Brad’. Why Ange has kicked him out of the bedroom." Jolie has apparently pushed Pitt out of the boudoir because she "hates her post-baby body so much". She has also "considered having a tummy tuck and even liposuction".According to one source, Pitt reckons Jolie is also suffering wild mood swings, sudden crying spells, anxiety, irritability, disturbances in sleep and appetite, "but what troubles him most is that Ange has lost interest in him in the bedroom", says the source. What a guy!Neither of these stories features the celebrity actually uttering the headline quotes. Could the magazines, in a peculiar and indecipherable gesture, have chosen to include them only in the headline or cover? It certainly isn’t the case in NW’s two-page spread about the singer George Michael’s recent late-night rustle in the bushes of a public park. "Sex With George Was Fantastic", declared the unemployed van driver, Norman Kirtland, in the headline, and, indeed, Mr Kirtland goes on to happily, and graphically, describe his "mutual pleasuring" with Michael on an early July morning.The other quotes? All fibs. Delectable fibs that feed a never-sated nation of gossip readers, but fibs all the same.Lenny Ann Low

Hey Cliniqua, anytime, girl, I admire your hutzpah! (How’s that for a good yiddish word?) Anyhoo, I identify with you on the religion thing. I like to call myself a recovering Southern Baptist. I have been working for a number of years to deprogram my head off that ****. And funny thing is, I feel closer to God once I dumped all the dogma and doctrine that went along with that. I am too quick to get into religious debates, so I’ll just bite my tongue and sit on my hands. AG is right, how do you have an intelligent argument with someone whose ultimate argument is "Because God said so", and they’ll never be able to see past that until they are ready.Oh, and ntt, about jen and pregnancy ruining her bod…I guess she must have to work pretty hard to keep her figure, because pregnancy and breastfeeding have Angie looking better and better….but then again Angie’s beuty is effortless. I am sure that must be a relief to Brad, not to be with someone who takes hours to get ready to go somewhere. Angie just throws a few things in a bag, and she’s out the door and on the plane holding HIS hand (not somebody else’s)looking gor-GEE-ous!

# 684 | Tabloids Lie | - Thanks Tabloids Lies, that does not surprise me about Woman Day, the **** they comes up with is unbelievable, whole bunch of crap. I am glad that someone finally took a stand again them and exposed them for what they really are, which is IMO is trashy rag filled with lies

# 686 | CLINIQUA | - I hear you C. and I totally agree

# 688 | tabloids | - Thanks tabloids for all the articles. It seems that Daddy Brad is going to be one busy man, but with all his busy schedule I believe that his family is his number one priority and he will be spending alot of time with them.

# 672 | Passing Through By all means. I think that’s exactly what was important to her… being Mrs. Pitt and having him cuffed and shackled to her.

You know if X does want to have kids now, I really question her motivation for getting pregnant. Is it for revenge or to prove everyone wrong , or is it because everyone is having a baby and now she is feeling the pressure. IF she does want kids now, I would feel very sorry for a child whose mom had him/her for reasons other than purely out of love of children and a feeling to be a mom.I don’t thinks she wants kids and the fact that she keeps repeating that she does worries me. If she feels pressured into having a child, what kind of life is that kid going to have knowing that their mom got pregnant because she didn’t want to look bad? She lied to Brad about wanting a baby for 7 years (*****!!!) and now she is lying to herself and the public. She makes me sick. That is not a woman who sounds like she wants to be a mother. Women like X make me sick!

It like when she said that she plan to have kids within the next year, well this is the next year and its almost over and I don’t see any baby, and then she went on Access Hollywood and when Nancy O’ Dell asked about that statement about having a baby this year, she was like "I was misquoted" oh please. She don’t want kids, because kids would mess up her lifestyle which includes: smoking, tequila and tanning and the endless pity parties with her girlfriends.

Angie looks great. As for x wanting children. I think if she really wanted one, she would have got pregnant by Brad. I don’t see x ever having children. Because of her lifestyle.Angie and Brad wanted kids. They are planning on having more. I admire them for the love, they have for all children.

Brad’s doing what comes naturally for a man whom for MOST of his adult life, has only needed to be concerned and consumed with HIMSELF (see his lat interview where he said he’s ’sick of me’ lol) — however, since leaving chin, and as Alexanderina pointed out, Brad has gone from a 1 person household to a 5 person household in less than 1 YEAR!! - he’s suddenly got 3 little ones and their futures to think of!! Talk about 0-60 in 3 seconds!! …so his drive as a provider, and as a man — whether you believe in those ingrained (be it environmental or otherwise) ideas or not, have most likely kicked in BIG TIME. I still think he’s less concerned with being a matinee idol than he is with being a formidable producer (with Ange, and in Hollywood…heh-heh ;-) who’s proud of the product that’s out there. Plus, I think when Brad knows what’s in the hopper and can get that squared away and scheduled - it’s much easier to live LIFE…like anything, it takes planning - and to me, it really seems as if Brad & Ange have sat down and taken stock of their options for the immediate and near future, and really planned TOGETHER what they were going to do and when…it seems as if they’re really working as a team, and a family.

i’m one of those rare breed liberal-minded christians. and i’ve made it point not to dive into the religion fray, but i just wanted to say that the Bible, Torah & Koran, while written by men, are ultimately stories about those men’s experiences with God and, i believe, should not be dismissed as fabrication. anyone who has a profound spiritual experience is often compelled to express and share it. how other people who hear about or read these experiences interpret them is entirely out of the original author’s hands–this is what leads to intolerance, fracturing and schisms and ultimately hypocrisy. every spiritual experience is valid and should be respected. what’s going on in the world right now is proof that we all need to put aside our differences, respect each other, embrace our diversity and work together for the common good.
