African Girl @ 08/25/2006 at 2:17 pm

Awwww, look at MD with the little girl. I love to see daddies with their little girls. It gives them these very…..interesting aura.

I love Matt holding his oldest daughter’s hand. Too cute. Protective Dad. ‘Crack is Wack’ — isn’t that Whitney Houston? Oh, sorry — Bobby Brown is the man in that horror house — JUST FUNIN HERE!!Cold Hard Math: Hi! It might be Angie or Mad, as Mad’s always calling him. I love the shirt on him — Yummmmmmmmy!! No, he’s not skinny, as long as he has them there muscles, he’s OK with me!! Even without them — he’s OK with me!!

Oh I just love me a man in uniform!!!

Thanks JJ for another thread and thanks for cutting the page shorter.

# 4 | cycloneblondie-Hey CB, I left a post for you at the previous thread with an possible explanation of why your AG’s wedding inv. has not yet arrive…LOL

Lynn Campbell @ 08/25/2006 at 2:25 pm

Holy moly does Brad look good in pic#4. I am completely overdosing on BAMZS and loving it.

it could be x calling him and pesting him about the Esquire Interview-( good topic for a phone convos, anyone?)

# 15 | Lynn Campbell lol, I’m loving it as well.

JJ great pics as usual many thanks….

the real tita @ 08/25/2006 at 2:40 pm

Isn’t that the shirt he was wearing at the art gallery with AJ? Someone posted that he came straight from the OC13 set so he probably didn’t have time to change. I don’t think he’s too thin as some people claim. He probably just lost excess fat and is getting to be all lean muscle. Could be a result of giving up junk food for healthy food choices. After all, AJ likes to eat a lot of veggies and fish (with the occassional burger, so I heard) so he’s likely to be eating the same things. Anyhoo, he still looks good in uniform, in tees and in suits. Gotta love a GQ kind of man.

Amy Leigh @ 08/25/2006 at 3:04 pm

brad looks like john travolta in the eyes in those guard uniform pics.

# 21 | cycloneblondie -Amazing story regarding the " bloody" homing pigeon. So the pigeon next couple of visit were social or business?…LOL.Oh, don’t bother to get AG anything domestic like blender (Guli got that already), knives/daggers set ( I got that) or toaster ( PT got that)…

Do i have to sign in every day? It’s a little bit awkward but effectively keeps away the haters. Brad looks good in anything.

# 21 | cycloneblondie- I lost my post for you.any way, amazing pigeon story, so his/it next couple of visit were social or business?…LOL

Alexanderina @ 08/25/2006 at 3:17 pm

Matt is wonderful with her girls. Yesterday i have seen of the pics of him with wife and the little girl Isabella, very pretty

Brad maybe is calling Angelina to bring the kids too, coz Matt brought his wife and 2 kids.I understand they are now filming in a hollywood hills house, so maybe we can Angie and the kids visitng the set, too.

African Girl @ 08/25/2006 at 3:46 pm

# 21 | cycloneblondie Oh i forgot to add….we also had an accountant who was very particular about Checks and Balances and The moral Police keep in us in check on "Hypocrisy"…. Fun, fun group, no?

((chanel)) @ 08/25/2006 at 3:47 pm

are these pics newer then the one angie and brad art gallery??

Have a super week-end All. Heading off early today — HURRAY!!Guli: Love to Korey!!

They both look great! Love Matt in the "B" hat.

I know there won’t be oscar winning performances with this movie but I’m looking forward to it

that wasn’t a great accountant. he/she/it cheated the system ala enron..jp

I was reading from some where that AJ and Holly were at a meeting earlier that day and they met up with BP…so many stories out there….but the only thing I care about is that they are together at the party and leaving together…

Brad and Matt are looking great. However, my secret crush, Don Cheadle is working that pink shirt or reddish shirt, can’t really tell. Only real, fine men like Don can get away with that. Love ya, Don. Just kidding. All the guys look great.

Even I have to say that brad is looking good…..cool guy.

You know I love Don Cheadle too! Terrific, terrific actor. I have no complaints about ANY of the guys in the OCEANS Series though. They are all talented and I’m glad they aren’t all clones of each other which seems to happen in the music scene

dragonfly @ 08/25/2006 at 4:19 pm

Hey, and Brad’s wearing the same jeans he later had on at the Art gallery, so it looks like he put the jeans and the uniform shirt together and made an outfit. Estelle, it does seem that Angie and Holly came together in Angie’s car, and they arrived at the gallery about 45 minutes after Brad, who rode over with somebody from the O13 set. They all three left together in Angie’s car. Some people are confused as to whether Brad & Angie were arriving or leaving in the pictures, and they are leaving. The only sketchy thing is JV, I read one place that he was there before Angie even arrived and was already gone by the time she did get there, and E! Channel ::rollseyes:: said someone rushed out to tell B&A JV was inside when they arrived…which doesn’t make a dayum bit of sense because more than one source said B&A didn;t even arrive together at all. E! Channel is as full of ****-a-doody as Life&Style or the Enquirer.

think positive! @ 08/25/2006 at 4:20 pm

# 31 | brocolli |"""""""""""""""""Yes.It is said that JV was on the exibition too.But his publisist refuted the story by saying that JV didn’t see Brad and Angie because he didn’t know they were there.I think it was on E!news but i could be rong.BTW-The pics were Brad is wearing the security uniform were taken in Aug.22 and the pics of B/A were from Aug.23.So i don’t think he is wearing the same shirt in the gallery pictures.

think positive! @ 08/25/2006 at 4:30 pm

# 50 | dragonfly |""""""""""""""""""Oooops!I gess i was totaly rong about E!news.haha!As for the pics i just checked and i thing he is wearing deferent jeans too.They don’t have the same pockets.But i’m not sure.

typekey !!! funny , much fewer stupid remarks

dragonfly @ 08/25/2006 at 4:37 pm

E! Channel said that Brad arrived wearing "sleek black" and I was like, WTH are they talking about? Maybe the jeans are slightly different, but the crinkly wash at the hip looks the same to me, but then again, these people probably have alot more clothes than I do! haha!! Usually if I have one pair of jeans in a certain color or wash, that’s all I have. But hey, it’s all good.

# 51 | dragonfly-thanks for clearing that up, the jeans look like the same one he was wearing while seating with AG’s fiance, it’s look like the same shirt to me.

dragonfly @ 08/25/2006 at 4:50 pm

I meant to add it’s all good about the jeans, because we know that either way, all his jeans wind up in a heap on the floor beside he and Angie’s bed every night, so……honey, if those jeans could talk!I wanna *be* Brad’s jeans.

((chanel)) @ 08/25/2006 at 4:54 pm

guys i think that this is the same day he went with agie to the art gallery cuzhe has the same jeans on maybe he went home and changed the shirt and went to the art gallery woth angie well i dont know lolangie 4 life!!

remember da truth @ 08/25/2006 at 6:34 pm

LOVE Don Cheadle!! In my opinion, I don’t care how great a performance Jame Foxx gave for Ray, that Oscar belonged to Don Cheadle for Hotel Rwanda. He CARRIED that movie and was amazing in it.

******* love Brad because they know that he can rock!

I think BP is wearing the same shirt and same jean at the Caan’ birthday party. If you compare teh shirt, it is exactly same except the color slightly looks different (I think because of light).So if makes sense that BP went to the party right from the OC13 set and met with AJ.

Oh, another evidenceBP did not have chance to erase his tattoo on his wrist and wearing OC film ring.

Hi there felow Pinoys & fellow BAMZS fans. Geez I am having trouble signing in. I did try the Typekey & it won’t wok. i will try it again later. Anyways, September 8 is the premiere of Babel at the Toronto International Film Fest & at the same night ex-President Bill Clinton will be doing his birthday bash at Royal York Hotel in Toronto for AFRICA AIDS. Billy Crystal will host & I heard Barbara Streisand might show up, Lenny Kravitz, Tim McGraw, Sarah McLaughlin, James Taylor & other singers will entertain. Brad & Angelina are invited but not sure f Brad will go since his movie Babel will be premiering the same night unless he goes to Clinton’s bash & then go to the premiere. These 2 events is just 2 blocks away. Matt Damon will also host the ONExONE at Varlu in Toronto. Not sure when but I think it is Sept. 8. Also, at Sept. 9 will be the party for the inagural issue of Hello Magazine Canada. Lots of movie stars coming this September.

I agree #16…this pic looks like it would be from a photoshoot. what a gorgeous specimen of a man!

Before there was Angelina Jolie, there was Cindy Crawford. Scroll down to see her photos on the webpage. No wonder Angelina is so popular now. She has no more competition. If it were back in the day when people like Cindy were around, people could care less about how Angelina currently looks. In fact, angelina got all her modeling poses and looks from Cindy.http://www.hollywoodrag.com/index.php?/weblog/comments2/cindy_crawford_admits_cosmetic_procedures/

Hi!!BAMZS(((high five))))loli like to welcome the new BAMZS in to OUR HOMEpssssssAlexyouhere?

# 65 | Gina | Are u gonna post this on every thread… it’s great that u are a fan of Cindy, but what the hell does that have to do with Angie

this feels good. yea

# 65 | Gina what do you want?

#65 Gina,I admit Cindy is sexy but there are lots of sexy models and actresses but they are not AJ.Do you know why AJ is different?AJ is sexy but she also has grace and character.Her life experience and understanding is showing in her face. This is why her picture is different and lots of people love her.

# 70 | Gina | Do u feel better now…

African Girl @ 08/25/2006 at 9:30 pm

#70 / GinaWow…Gina, good job! You found and posted that all by yourself. You should be proud of yourself….yes, you should, yes you should. Of course it is pointless but don’t worry, you should be proud.

dragonfly @ 08/25/2006 at 9:37 pm

Gina, nobody cares. If you want to join in the conversation, fine….great even, but at least make an attempt to bring something more timely to the table. If that’s all you want to talk about, that Angie and Brad "cheated", which is so beyond old and not true, BTW…..then you bore the hell out of us.

so Gina are you saying Brad is still married and that’s what keeps AJ interested in him. It’s way too over, honey! I didn’t grew up with a father, but I’m not insecure and haven’t dated a married man before. so, is it safe to say that not every theory applies to all person? YES.

i meant "grow up" typo!

Guys Gina is an Aniston rabid fan…saw her posting before & been around at the JA thread mostly. Thanks? Hmmm no thanks to you Gina. Do you post it to change our minds? You are very wrong woman!

Brad looks really hot in the brown polo shirt. But he favors Benicio Del Toro in that first picture. LOL!!! Matt and his daughter are just too cute. She’s gonna be a beauty when she grows up.

Even if you remove all the hate posts against Brangelina, it’s not going to stop people from hating them. They’ll still be hated and you can’t change it. You’re only angering bloggers from preventing what is called freedom of speech on two public figures. No matter how much you defend Brangelina, you’re probably going to make them hated by the public even more and more. You’re making it seem as if they have no flaws and are untouchable. They’re no prince and princess. And they will still be criticized for their behaviors. If you can criticize a princess for doing drugs and having sex, then isn’t that critisizing her personal life? So, what’s the difference here? Kate Moss, Britney Spears, Kevin Federline are all parents, yet people go off on criticizing them.

Who’s that woman with the green sneakers and skirt, white hat and sunglasses?

# 79 | Kate she could be a member of the production team. she’s always in the pictures we’ve seen on this set.

Lights, camera…Angelina in India! ibnlive.comPosted Friday , August 25, 2006 at 17:34Updated Friday , August 25, 2006 at 18:02New Delhi: Gear up! For, Hollywood hottie Angelina Jolie is coming to town. No, it’s not a social cause that has India calling Jolie this time around, but Micheal Winterbottom’s English film A Mighty Heart, in which she co-stars with our very own Bollywood actors Aly Khan and Irrfan Khan. Though originally scheduled to be shot in Pakistan, all heads turned towards India as Irrfan was reportedly denied a visa to Pakistan.So what’s Pakistan’s loss has become India’s gain! Angelina is expected to come down to India to shoot for the film, which is set to hit the box office in 2007.The movie, an adaptation of the book The Mighty Heart, is based on the life of Daniel Pearl, an American reporter who was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in early 2002.While Angelina takes on the role of Daniel Pearl’s wife, Mariane, Dan Futtermann will play the lead in the movie.Meanwhile, Irrfan, reportedly, plays a key role in the film, that of a captain, who was by Mariane’s side while she fought to save her husband.While Irrfan is looking forward to working with Angelina, one should be on the lookout for her boyfriend Brad Pitt, who might just come along with her since he’s producing the film.

"Making kaway to Ariel — kumusta na, Ariel?"Sure wish I was in Toronto with you so that I can finally see Bradley. Whew, one hot man!!!# 78 Cathy — No one is stopping you from criticizing Brad/Angie. What are removed are posts that use foul language and wish death on either of them, or especially the children. And if bloggers get mad because they cannot wish death on Brad and Angie, they are perfectly welcome at female first, dlisted or perezhilton. Here at JJ most of us at Brad/Angie threads happen to be likeminded Brad/Angie fans. But we still welcome those who want to criticize, but without death threats or foul language. And you are wrong, we are the last persons in the world to say that they are without flaws — in fact, that is Angelina’s special appeal, she sowed her wild oats when she was young and admitted it, and now she has evolved beyond that immature youth and is a loving mother and partner. Why does everyone say that we think they are gods? We just admire them for who they are, we do NOT put them on a pedestal.

He’s probably on the phone with Angelina, but not liking it. Look at the way he’s clinching his jaw.

Original Curious @ 08/25/2006 at 11:54 pm

# 78 | Cathy I’ve been on vacation, so I’m not really sure what you are referring to. I would say the majority of BAMZS fans here at JJ’s do NOT put Brad or Angie on a pedestal. We don’t think they are Gods. What "behaviors" are you thinking they should be criticized for? Real ones or ones that you just imagine have happened?

Mrs. smith @ 08/26/2006 at 12:11 am

#78/Cathy…after reading your incoherent rant, it appears that your sense of logic has obviously gone the way of the dinosaur. How can ‘our defending Brangelina make the public hate them more?’ It’s quite apparent that you, and other narrow minded idiots, already ‘hate’ them, so therefore, being denied the right to come to this site to spew your hatred makes you hate them more? ‘They will still be critisized for their behaviors,’ ….have they beencaught on a drunk driving charge, snorting cocaine, or running around naked in the streets? Do give the sordid details.If you plan to bring up Angie’s past, well, that’s exactly what it is, the past. She, herself, is quite open and upfront about it, with nothing to hide.FYI…if you need to vent your hatred, and can no longer do it here, may I suggest a good scream at the oceanside, get a tan, put in some hair extensions, and if all else fails, do what my youngest does, roll on the floor while screaming.

i think that crack is whack tshirt wearing lady is some kind of set assistant my guess but who knows she might b an under cover paparoachi hehe

i spotted Brad in pic #9 where Matt D n his daughter walking 2wards trailer in the back u can c Brad riding his bike (inlarge pic) mayb going home already? ne1 noticed it 2?

AddictedtoBAMZs @ 08/26/2006 at 12:54 am

RE #78, Cathy…you know it just amazes me that this kind of ridiculous comment is being made about two people who display the best behavior possible as professionals and parents and human beings. Aren’t you all so sick of it? They are the BEST! Get some counseling for your problems already, Cathy. There are SO many others more deserving of your judgements and criticisms…it is almost laughable if it were not so unfair and lame at this point.

http://usmagazine.com/2006/599/morph/morphs.phpWoooaaa... I’m a little freaked out by this. Maybe you guys have already seen this. It’s a celeb baby morphing website on Us weekly. And the celeb baby that morphs into the cutest adult happens to be Sean Preston (Britney’s son). But none of the celeb kids, except Britney’s, look anything like their parents as adults in these morphing photos. What about Kingston and Shiloh? They weren’t shown. But then again, they showed mosty the older babies.

# 89 | aycaramba haha good eye!

AddictedtoBAMZs @ 08/26/2006 at 1:27 am

Frenchy, #77…I thought the same thing when I saw the picture. Benicio has let me down lately, though. Doesn’t seem to care what he looks like or if he even works. Is it that oscar curse? I love him, but would like to see him return to his "Traffic" good looks. Would someone please cast him in a movie with Brad??? I’d love that….

i believed that there was a rule of don’t take who know you in the thread of B&A, but….. However i have nothing to critic about their. They are good person, good actors and good parents. this year will win the oscar both; BP for Babel and AJ for The Good Sheppard; so they are perfects. Nobody is how their, nobody. They are the thing more near at the perfection. Beautiful, riches, talents, caring the people, and the best parents that a child can have. They are the best, the other are nothing.

# 78 | Cathy First off, I don’t think of them as Gods. They’re not perfect, they are human beings like us living their lives. I admire this couple for what they are doing, they’re at least making a change in this superficial world that we live in. To me, the past is the past, both of them have learned their mistakes and of course they are both still making improvements as the day goes by. Other people still want to believe what’s in the past and all these hearsays/preconceived notions about these two and it just sucks for those people not grasping the present; they are together, deal with it. Individuals mature, i should say ‘most’ individuals mature and these two certainly evolved.All the hating towards this beautiful family is not going to break them apart imho, it’ll just bring them more closer. In so, the hating is really not necessary cuz it ain’t going to do anything to this loving couple/family. Ok, so ppl go ahead and post your hateful comments, it just shows that yall are that low. But I deeply hope that whatever hateful comment that you post, it won’t go back to you. Whatever it was, doesn’t come back and bite you in the ass. Oh btw the soulless comments will surely be deleted.Behaviors?? other people criticized them for what? being too privy now, that they’re not exposing as much details as they did before, technically in their past. Again past is in the past. The removal of the posts is due to the vile comments that non fans/haters post. They’d wish bad things on the children which doesn’t have anything to do with the thread. It saddens me when they can’t back up their arguments and retort back with name calling and horrible comments or what not. You can still not like them and post comments here without the use of any vile comments, you and I/other bamzs fans can still have opposing intelligent dialogues. Ok i’m ranting..some may be redundant, I didn’t proof-read..so sue me..blah.

Charles. 77- FrenchyNoticed that too. A movie about brothers can bring them together. Brad will be the good oneand Benecio will be the sinister one.ha ha

cycloneblondie @ 08/26/2006 at 7:01 am

Warning!!! I did a whoopsy and put this post on the last thread…so this is a repeat post!I repeat…DUPLICATE POST WARNING!!! ":)# 28 | Estelle |Lmao “:)Well ummmmmmm….I would have to say Kingston was visiting for both reasons! When I finally tracked down and spoke to his owner (who was overwhelmed to get his bird back after a total of 20 days missing, I know he was here for 15 of those, before he finally made his way back home. After I took him out of my bathroom, he lived on my top balcony for 5 days while he practiced his take off/landing procedures and gathered his bearings.) Well, turns out he was in the middle of a race. His last 2 visits have been in the midst of racing again, hence business trip, however, he did take the time to pop in and visit me, I would assume on a social basis. (either that, or I was merely used for a ‘pitstop/refuel’ only. anyways, he now knows there is seed and water here.) His owner is not too happy about that, but he does have a good laugh about it. Apparently ‘his’ Billy and ‘my’ Kingston is not only a really friendly bird, but he sure loves to eat then do his long haul flying!!! (His owner is approx. 4 hrs drive south from here.)Yes wellllll…guess that was more than you expected in way of an answer…but he is one damn cool bird! “:)phewwwwwww Yes…the ideal present for AG, the future Mrs C….??? I shall have to give that some deep thought now. What to get her? hmmmmmmmCheers again Matey. “:)

Cycloneblondie,How about a life jacket, so she can go out on George’s sailboat on Lake Como? Or perhaps some Italian lessons, so she can talk to the neighbors while there, or Italian cooking lessons, so she can shop and cook him fabulous meals?

# 41 | African Girl |ahhhhhhhhhh Sounds like I really missed heaps around here!!! (NOT!) Well none of the insane hater crap anyways…However, I did miss all the true blue BAMZS’ers of course. “:)hmmmmmm Hey Matey! You know how on that last thread, PT’s posts suddenly just “appeared”…well no, that was not you being crazy!That was because Jared now does his “mod” work and because of “time stamps”, posts will end up being displayed in the time order of their posting. This will lead to posts popping up from within the TypeKey posts which are posted immediately. The same thing happened here with Estelle’s post earlier to me…and this is why I also thought I was the first poster on this thread, but in reality, I wasn’t. (Make sense? I hope I explained that clearly.) I was the first TypeKey poster, but because of Jared “clearing” a prior post, it beat me!!! “:) dohhhhhAnyways….I am not sure now who was saying they were having problems with their TypeKey Identity but, everything works fine for me by doing the following……Login at TypeKey and make sure you hit the “2 week button”. (as PT said in the earlier thread, this will have to be done every 2 weeks.)Next, sign in at J2’s using your TypeKey and write (or cut & paste your prior saved post).You will not see your TypeKey identity appear until you hit the preview button or post (which obviously sends the message immediately…but now from within a “time stamp” order with the other "non TypeKey" posts being sent. They may take Jared a while to get to & will not display for a time.)If you hit preview, you will see your Typekey identity is displayed. On this page you can make alterations to your post in the second window and hit preview again to review your message. You can do this as many times as you like until you are happy and finally hit the post button.When you exit the J2 site, you will have to “sign in” next time you come back in…but only every 2 weeks at the TypeKey Site.Also!!! Very important! If you are operating a Firewall, your TypeKey is not going to work until you either A) Turn off your Firewall or,B) Create a “site exception” for it from within your Firewall program (Like I had to)Hope this helps.Cheers Mateys!!! “:)

# 101 | remember da truth | Hi ya Matey!!! ":)Wow! Thankyou for some truly excellent ideas! I like the life jacket and Italian lessons especially….hmmmmmmm….I wonder if AG is a domesticated cooking Goddess? or rather…will she just have Georgie keep some of the local Chefs hired to do all that kind of stuff anyway??? hmmmmm thinking thinking…cause I mean like…(sssssshhhhhhhhhhh…but just between you and me…I think she will truly be living in the lap of luxury after the wedding and would she even want to spend time in the kitchen???)Oh well…I shall keep thinking…in the meanwhile…How have you been? Excellent I hope so!Cheers to you Matey! Hope your having a nice Saturday.

With all these photos coming out from O13, by the time the shoot packs up, I think I would more or less know what to expect from the movie.

# 104 | Ocean’s 13 |"""""""""""""""""""""""Sorry but let me disagree with that.We haven’t seen any photos of them shooting any scene of the movie.All of the pics are of the back stage when the crew and the actors are taking a break from shooting.It’s impossible to no anything about the script the suspece or the entertaintment the movie might have by this pictures.The only thing that we have seen is some of the suits Brad George and Matt will were in some part of the movie but apart from that there is nothing else.Then again if you mean that the fun they seem to have on the set will be transported in the movie…Well that’s a good thing after all.I personaly enjoyed O11 and O12 so i’m looking forward to that one too.

Correction: To know anything.. and suspense..

Remember da truth: Oh, I so agree with you. Don was robbed!!! He’s much better actor than Jamie. Don’t misunderstand, I like Jamie — remember him from In Living Colour, but the Oscar should have gone to Don. I also didn’t agree with CRASH winning for Best Picture, as I think Brokeback Mountain was amazing! That story broke my heart, and I’m a gal and not gay. I mean, even Jack Nicholson, when he read the winner couldn’t believe it. The audience couldn’t believe it. Not that CRASH wasn’t a good movie, because it was, but come on, it didn’t have anything that was new — we know about racial crap — we’ve got tons of movies on that subject. Raining in the Big Apple — You have a great Saturday — week-end.

sam(the good one) @ 08/26/2006 at 11:23 am

hot,hot,hot

Hi everyone.There are new photos of Angelina flying on rameypix.net.

Thanks Meli, I’ll go check now

From bradforums.netHere is the 2nd part of Lainey Entertainment Report! "It is so good"! "This Is The Kind Of Stuff I Like To Here!The Pitts answer backBreaking up, huh? Telling Angie he still loves Jen, huh? Please. Look at this woman. Next to Angelina Jolie, there is no other. And any suggestion of Brad Pitt pining for Jennifer Aniston after being blessed with the opportunity not only to be Jolie’s acknowledged lover, but to have had the privilege of populating her womb is absolutely f&cking ludicrous. Life & Style Weekly my Chinese ass. So here are the Pitts, surprise attendees at an art exhibit the other night, a not too subtle rebuttal to the rumours: there is no split, there is no rift, and is this the most beautiful farking couple you’ve ever laid eyes on or what??? Her in particular, especially during the video when she’s smiling and at ease. Damn… like I said before, I’m not made for muff, but I swear for her - I’d switch any time, any day. Anyway, back to the gossip and those amateur reports that the end is near - as you can see from their deliberate display of togetherness, the Pitts dictate their own leaks and when they want you to know what they want you know, they’ll do it on their own terms. UPDATE: EXCLUSIVE from a lovely, lovely reader who was there, at the gallery, an eyewitness account of the Pitts: I spoke to her… I TOUCHED her. I am beyond pleased to say that she actually IS more beautiful in person, and is an astonishingly lovely person. Polite, friendly, very un-Hollywood. The best part?… She and Brad looked completely infatuated with each other (and not in a staged-Hollywood-we-have-to-look-good-for-the-cameras kind of way). Genuine smiles, both of them never more than an arms length from each other. More details to follow as the source was rushed, will continue to update as I know… UPDATE #2: sorry for the delay. Wedding this weekend, you know how it is… So without further ado, more details from our deliciously detailed eyewitness. (Girl - you know I owe you. Name your price!) I won’t edit her comments…enjoy: Scandal of the evening….. Although Brad and Angelina were there, we didn’t know SHE was there until later. Brad entered solo (which was impressive enough), and spent a good 1/2 hour bonding with all of his boys. Matt Damon, George Clooney and Scott Caan were all stuck to his side. I loved how much they cracked each other up. Why was Angelina lingering behind (and by lingering behind I mean SITTING IN THEIR CAR OUT BACK…. waiting.)? Her father Jon Voight had arrived at the party mere-minutes before the beautiful pair, and once she heared about his attendance, she REFUSED to enter until he had left. I believe Mr. Voight caught wind of the situation, as he seemed to excuse himself from the event earlier than anyone had expected him too (although he was very polite about it). Within a minute of his exit, Brad went out to the car to retrieve his lovely lady, who entered the art-showing all smiles. I guess the feud with daddy isn’t anywhere near reconciliation. Once inside together they socialized and were generally friendly with everyone. After making their way around the ‘gallery’ they headed over to the bar-area where they stayed until their exit. They stood side-by-side, but usually talking to different people…. BUT…. I definitely saw HAND HOLDING and at one point he had his ARM DRAPED OVER HER SHOULDER!! Huge news for all those like me looking for a little love in Brangelina land. It was bliss. Overall impression of some of the celebrities who were there… Brad Pitt - Beautiful beautiful man. Killer smile. Smaller than I expected (stature-wise). He drew loads of attention, and you could tell he loved it. Angelina Jolie - a friggin’ goddess…. no wonder I adore this woman. I was a breath away from asking her to adopt ME!

Hi Ate Char! i think pangalawang[sp?] beses na akong nagsulat nang mahaba. The first one was under a diff name. But the future long posts will be under a diff name :shys away:. Again i didn’t proofread and just reading it again, my point wasn’t really crossed out & dang it was morning already when i wrote that, no wonder it sounded soooo i dont know plain// Now only if i could express what i wanted to say…nope the notions aren’t coming back heh.

That’s too Tabloidish Lainey!And i will explain why i don’t buy it.Let’s say that it really did happend ok?Paparrazzis where all over the place from the first moment the event started till it was over.If Brad entered the party alone and Angie waited in the car for 1/2 hour this is a lot of time for razzis to take 1000 pictures and more.Plus there is no a single picture of Brad entering the gate without Angie.Where the hell is the proof to all this?Just because JV happened to be there as well does not mean that this whole storie is real.And as for the Hand holding you can perfectly gess it just watching the TMZ video.I don’t need Lainey to confirm that indeed happent.You can perfectly see how relaxed and happy they are as well.And Brad and Angie being more beautiful up close..I had no doupt about it.Sorry if i offeneded any Lainey fan bad sometimes…uuuggghhhh!!Anyway we all agree to disagree right? ;)

# 118 | think positive! | ITA…. i still don’t buy this story….

About that story (Angie waited 1/2 hour in the car until Voight left)—laineygossip.com doesnt always get it right. If I were one of those photogs, I will definitely capture a picture of Angie in anguish, impatient etc while waiting. Dont you think this picture will sell tons of $$$$? We see pictures of them in the gallery, near the car etc. But we dont see one single picture of Angie alone in the car. Do you think those photogs are so dumb and dont recognize what a money shot is?????

Photogs are not dumb. They are in the business of making money. If they can capture a picture of either Brad or Angie alone, that picture can always fuel people’s speculation. They know what money shot means!

# 121 | BAS Why should we care?

# 118 | think positive! that’s the thing that gets me mad about Lainey and then I remember she is tabloidish with a little truth….isn’t that the definition of tabloid - 1% truth, 99% fruit juice.Now, first let me say, I am not a blind fan. Heck, I am 40 years old. OK. I don’t believe Brad and Angie are perfect, I know they have disagreements. I know Angie doesn’t want anything to do with her father and personally I don’t blame her as I stated on another thread. Secondly, the pictures we have - they are both leaving and not entering the party. They are walking towards their car. There are none arriving - Brad by himself or with the boys; nor of Angie and Holly. Brad most likely arrived with the guys from work. Angie & Holly came together in their SUV. Angie fuming in a car or looking upset would give the story credibility. Also, Brad saying something to her by the car would also be a money shot. You could write all kinds of crazy stories to go with those pictures. But, atlas, we have none. I think it was just dumb luck that JV was there. Hollywood is a small town. “Nothing more, nothing less’ – gosh I am always quoting Doug Pitt. BAMZS fans are truly investigative reporters…

Alexanderina @ 08/26/2006 at 1:30 pm

Hey Guys, I am just back from my driving lessons. and I did well, I was a little bit nervous, but for my first lesson it went great. Thank you guys (you know who you are) for all your encouragement.

YAAYYY! good for you, Alexanderina!i can’t stay long..going shopping…but about the extended lainey update:if angelina did hang out in the car for a half hour until jv left, i say it’s childish, but understandable. i wouldn’t have done it. i would’ve sucked it up and walked right in and dared the ******* to talk to me. but then again, i’m not her and i don’t have photographers up my ass all day. her choices were to walk in while he was there and create a huge, attention-stealing controversy–which would have overshadowed scott caan’s show, or wait patiently in the car until dear daddy departed. the choice she made, while it creates a buzz and something for people to feed off, is less sensational than father and daughter being in the same room together resulting in snubbing or confrontation.but that’s just my opinion.

think positive! @ 08/26/2006 at 1:58 pm

# 124 | Renee |""""""""""""""""""I wholeheartly agree with you.I’m trying to be as objective as i can about B/A although i love them very much.Of cource they will have disagreements like every normal couple.They are humanbeings.And it is very genuin to have some arguments.On the other hand i believe they are tow people who mostly have the same goals and desires in life deep down in their hearts and apart from their everyday routine.They both have their family as a the first priority by trying to remain as close as possible even while working and spent some quality time with their children.They rearly are apart from each other and if that happents it’s only for a short period of time.They both are very active about the things they want to be heard about the causes they support in every aspect.Humanatiar causes by their represantation or quality movies by their performances.You can learn many things through them.They also seem like they don’t push or hold back each other.They are continuing to do their hobies like flying plains or riding motorcycles.It’s not like they are traped in a "cage" relationship.And as Brad said in an interview reggarding marriage"you don’t have to be together with someone forever just because you had that pact" and that’s what i believe about them too.They don’t have any pacts.They are together because the WANT to be together and that’s a real and strong commitment.And i don’t need anyone to tell me so.Actions speak louder than words. ;)

Why would he (as a gentleman) leave his "LADY LUV" in a car by herself for a half hour? Couldnt he have driven around in the car with her until her dad was gone instead?

Why? is another hater but their tactic now is doubt every move they made & question but the content of the post always by the haters. This person (WHY?) even posting the same thing at the gallery thread. Can you feel that those lurkers are here again?

I believe Angie came with Holly, later after Brad arrived from the set with the guys.. Therefore he was by himself for a while, till Angie came.. The rest they made up, just gossip… Don’t believe for a minute he left ther alone in the car.. Bullshit…

"Billy Bob and I have a kind of a male love for each other, you know what I mean?" Willis tells Peoplenews.com, adding, "You know, in a prison way." And just to make sure you don’t misunderstand, Willis offers the following clarification: "We do love each other, and there is a kind of need for each other."

This Sunday paper, in parade magazine. Someone asked, exact quoteQuestion–You said Angelina Jolie refused to be sexually intimate with Brad Pitt until he was divorced. But Brad’s divorce wasnt final until Oct 2, 2005 while Shiloh was born just 7 months later on 5/27/06. Did you check your math?Answer: We did, and heres the explanation.As you say, Brad’s divorce from Aniston became final on 10/2, but it was SIGNED 8/19, nine months before Shiloh’s birth..This post is especially for Aniston’s fans. Here is the answer from Parade magazine in this Sunday’s paper. Hope you s/b more convinced by now. Gestation is 40 weeks. Get your calendar, and count !!!!

# 156 | brocolli - thanks for posting that. A while ago, Walter Scott said something snarky about Brad and Angie and I called him on it. Parade is not a gossip magazine and if so, I wanted to know how I could get it removed from my Sundays’ paper. Its about time Parade! They probably want an interview . Everybody knows, BA are money in the bank….so why not get a legitimate interview instead of going the gossipy route. *********From BAMZS timeline:August 2005 8 Brad in Calgary, Alberta to start production of Jesse James Angelina in NY to start filming the Good Shepherd19 Brad’s divorce was approved by the Judge20 Apart for two weeks, Angelina and the kids visited Brad in Canada. The foursome went to a Museum and also to a motorcycle store where Brad was seen holding Zahara the whole time. Then of course, on the 29th we have the famous pictures of Brad carrying Z with her baby bottle in his back pocket….Lil Shi was in the gestation stage….LOL

# 157 | Renee | Cute and ITA— I want to also remind everyone that a scheduled C-section is usually 2 weeks prior to the due date, since they don’t want the mom to go in labor before the procedure. Mind you all of my kids were born naturally, but I know this from my friends plus quite a few people also posted the same thing here….

Can anyone explain why the tabloids are afraid of saying that Brad and Angie are in love? How can one woman(Angie) be fighting with Brad, Brad’s mom and Angie’s dad? This picture is not right. This woman has three little kids to take care of and where would she have the time to be doing all the things they are accusing her of? Who are the people that still buy all these tabloids? Why are these tabloids still in business?

# 159 | tabloids - lol! They are obsessed with them. They can’t believe that they are being beaten at their own game. No news is good news, so they write lies to keep the sales up. Remember the FFers (Female First) who live by this stuff, their biggest clientele. I think People is starting to panic as well.

I am conivinced about 50% of this country’s citizens have their heads completely up their ass anyway. They can barely tie their shoes and chew gum at the same time, so how can they be expected to understand the complex and brillant among us? Nah…takes too much effort. It’s easier to ridicule and crucify.The tabs are merely pandering to that lowest denominator. They know the idiots among us with boring little lives will buy their stories and feel all superior. Unfortunately, there just happens to be more and more people who fit this description all the time. Americans are getting dumber and dumber every minute.

I beleive this is unprecendented, for tabloid fodder to be this bad and this far from the truth. One would think eventually they would blow themselves out, so we’ll have to wait and see. Right now it seems like a battle of wills, B&A versus the tabs, who can hold out the longest. It seems like the tabs plan is to keep going until they force Brad and/or Angie into saying or doing something against them, and draw them into a *** for tat pissing match. I don’t think Brad will or can be moved.

dragonfly @ 08/26/2006 at 9:49 pm

Alex & QQQQ - Thanks, ladies! Now I’m headed over to the other thread to see what’s the skinny over there. ::wink, wink::

# 162 | Alexanderina # 166 | dragonfly It is indeed a battle of wills and I am sure Brad and Angie are aware of it and are united and determined to prevail especially with Brad’s guidance. The only thing that gets me is that Angie is taking a good beating from all around although I noticed that Brad is being thrown in the fray lately. Nevertheless, I think they are starting to give a little of themselves which I hope will ease some of the mystery surrounding them. I think we are noticing more of what the tabloids say because we have an interest in both B&A. I for one was never that keen on tabloids or pop culture until they came along. For instance they have eased their bashing of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline these last few months. May be, they will do the same with B&A in due course. I hope so.

Nowadays, analyzing demographics and then catering to select groups has become a breeze with computers. There are huge databases that can find you the "white trash" kind of people in seconds. The tabs cater to groups like that. the tabs’ role is to make their readers feel good about themselves, so they buy again next week. Best way to do that is by knocking down people who are the opposite of their readers. That’s why they always choose THE most unflattering photos to publish as well, from many years now. It’s just marketing, which does not leave any group out -$1 is the same from everybody. That’s how the "gangsta" clothing has become fashionable, and rap music, etc. As soon as a buying group gets identified, you can bet that it will be marketed to.

Alexanderina @ 08/26/2006 at 10:20 pm

May be, they will do the same with B&A in due course. I hope so. # 169 | CCCC ————————————————–One can only hope, I am just waiting for the day when they focus their attention on another couple/celebrity beside Brad and Angelina. I like the way Brad and Angelina are going about their business, and not paying any attention to the tabs and their bunch of lies, and I think that upset the tabs, because I think they(tabs) are looking for a reaction from them and they are not getting any; but I could be wrong, but that is what I think.

Original Curious @ 08/26/2006 at 10:35 pm

Lots of wsidom here today. I’ve been wondering myself what is up with the tabs and their incessant haunting of the Jolie Pitts. I mean, they both have family in diffferent parts of the country who probably see this crap in the grocery store and wonder. It really is becoming beyond cruel.I never thought of your explanation Dragonfly. I have this bad habit of assuming unless shown otherwise that everyone is like me. It is a serious failing. I have offended many with my takes on Bush totally by accident [but....how can ANYONE support him?] I usually look toward people like Brad and Angie for inspiration, sometimes daydreams, sometimes just to relieve the tedium of my day; but never because I want to think less of them to think more of myself. That’s just CRAZY!

# 171 | Alexanderina - I agree with you. The tabloids know how Brad feels about them and the fact that the Jolie-Pitts are not responding is really ticking them off one way or another. So instead, what do they do? Making up stories about Brad’s mom, dad and grandmother, Angie’s mom, dad and ex-husband, and who knows who is next. I don’t think they will break the Jolie-Pitts down… unless they carry it a bit too far and the Jolie-Pitts take legal action against them… which will be good.

# 163 | dragonfly | ITA- that is the reason there is no way US will vote for a WOMAN as a president. Mind you predominantly MUSLIM country Turkey voted for a WOMAN prime-minister about 10 years ago for 2 terms. Also, Turkish women were able to start voting in 1923, before US women could. I find that funny in a weird way, cause most of the woman I talk to in US think they have equality, my ass…..

Nowadays, analyzing demographics and then catering to select groups has become a breeze with computers. There are huge databases that can find you the "white trash" kind of people in seconds. The tabs cater to groups like that. the tabs’ role is to make their readers feel good about themselves, so they buy again next week. Best way to do that is by knocking down people who are the opposite of their readers. That’s why they always choose THE most unflattering photos to publish as well, from many years now. # 170 | Anna | *********************Yes, this is sooooo true! If Mabel Sue, living in a trailer park and working as a waitress for the past 20 years, with a string of bad relationships under her fat-ass belt can get the "inside scoop" on how Angelina Jolie ain’t really all that, then poor ol’ Mabel gets an ego boost. She can sit at her formica table and smole Kool ciggies and say to herself, "Look what all her high-falutin’ ways got her! Thinkin’ she’s gonna be a pilot and **** and that she’s so damn smart…." And it just goes on from there. Of course Mabel will go back next week and spend her money to get another ego boost from the The Star…..which she’ll read in peace after she calls the cops on her ol’ man for kickin’ her ass from end of the trailer to the other. Hey, he won’t be out of jail until tomorrow….meanwhile, she gets giggle out of the fact that Angelina Jolie can’t hold on to Brad Pitt.

Yes, people who like this crap *are* that dumb.I am counting the days until Brad’s Esquire interview. I don’t think he’ll directly address any of this, but I feel his overall tone will shut some of it up.

Can someone tell me what happend to Rica? :( I miss her fiction. I read awhile back that she would post but now there is still nothing. Is she ok? Hope so. That’s the important thing. BTW my name use to be Jenn the liar but I changed it . Needed a change.Night BAMZS fans. and ITA about the tabloids.They are just bitter and also sadly bitter sells.

I’ve seen these women at the store with their bad perms, buying Kools, Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull, and a stack of tabloids, in a tube top with bra straps straining under the weight of sagging, bowling ball tits, all the while sportin’ their latest black eye. Stylin’. Back when I used to go to a Walmart (I haven’t shopped in one for 5 years, and won’t go back), it would kinda give me an ego boost. There would always be somebody there in line fatter and uglier than me. It did have a way of elevating one’s self-esteem, lol!

AddictedtoBAMZs @ 08/26/2006 at 11:44 pm

Hi African Girl! I was just going to read up on the latest and not post, but saw you were here. Thanks for the information on Rica, and do you know anything about Rizzos? She was always so full of fun, had a great signature–something like "Viva los BAMZ!" (I’m sure that’s not right, but you get the idea.) Did you read Lainey today? She said great things about your fiance’….Guli, why don’t you think women in the U.S. are equal? Not understanding…the political parties that select candidates are outdated, it is true, and continue to produce male candidates, but we as women IF WE CHOOSE TO are totally capable of promoting the female candidate we choose as a block of voters, so shame on us for not doing so. All I ask is that it NOT be Hillary. Just my opinion, although I do not think politics belong here, as we all feel differently about our president, etc….

Alex & QQQQ, you guys are very welcome! Just be on the lookout for Mabel Sue. I know there’s one in your community and you’ve seen her before.

There’s a reason why Jen didn’t have a baby with Brad. There’s a reason why Gwyneth Paltrow cheated on him. There’s a reason why it wasn’t until his 40s that he found what his fans think is a stable relationship. There’s someting wrong with him. Angelina will realize that. Kids aren’t enough to keep a relationship together.And yes Brad wanted to have kids and Jen didn’t, but that’s no reason to break up a 7 year relationship. You’re in a relationship because of love. You just dont go have a baby with someone less than a year after breaking up with someone. Imagine if your boyfriend or your husband (the man you love like never before) left you and had a baby with some other woman not too shortly afterwards. And if Jen took it with a sense of humor in public and got together with Vince for some support, she must have been hurting incredibly inside. I don’t know how you people value relationships, but I consider it a serious thing. My mom waited about 4 years before having me (her first born), while married to my dad. She had a career to think about and moving up in that career before she was ready to have a child with my father. And my father was a 100% supportive. And my mom was 37 when she had me! My dad was 40. Sure, my dad would have loved to have married a younger woman whom he could have had tons of children with. But that’s a fantasy. That’s not reality. He could have left my mom for another woman and it would have probably have been better in other ways. But he loved my mom and knew that it’s just not right and especially to leave one woman to go have children with another. So, what if he didnt have tons of children, like Brad desires. He’s still extremely happy with what he’s got. And he’s not at all selfish. Not at all. My dad’s not a religious man, but he’s got his own values (which I challenge him on because I’m a modernist), but they’re the strongest values and my mom doesn’t know how lucky she is to have my dad for a husband (even though she calls him pigheaded at times).I know these are celebrities and what have you, but people take marriage, relationships and love as a serious thing and not something you just do on a WHIM. And even though she’s the other woman, I think Angelina really should have had some consideration on behalf of Jen’s part. Jen really is a good person. I really don’t know how Brad could just forget about her to go have a baby with someone else. Unfortunatey, these Brangelina fans look at Brangelina as just celebs, so they accept it. They’re looking at what they see in magazines or tv or movies. But the rest of us mature people with serious minds and deep hearts, don’t look at them as celebs. We look at them as real people. That’s why some of us don’t get and can’t accept how Brad broke up with Jen and just went off having a baby with Angelina of all people.

I must admit I was laughing visualizing "Mabel" having a "goddess circle" night….and talking about the "bleak future that sources predict" of Brad and Angie…It’s true though..tabloids are big business, and in business the merchandise is not as important as the bottom line. When Reuters ‘fesses up to publishing doctored photos from Lebanon, I can just imagine what the tabs do. They know exactly what it is their public wants to read-it’s SO fast and easy to email a little survey to a "focus group" asking them to choose the most interesting headline, or most interesting celebrity,..etc….Instant communication has made "marketing research" so fast, cheap, and easy now. It’s pure business. I don’t even think that the tabs writers have the feelings their articles express-it’s just their job to turn everything on its head. I admit that I’d give my right arm to be able to sit in on a reporter-hiring interview by the Nat. Inquirer….I am so curious about what their qualifications must be…. So….no, the tabs interest wil not go away….even if they were sued, they could still write the rest of their junk preceded by "might", "could" ,"alleged", "reportedly"…..and the rest of their favorite disclaimer words….

There’s a reason why Jen didn’t have a baby with Brad. # 187 | Amy Reason: J. Maniston is a dried up old prune who cared more about her career than family.There’s a reason why Gwyneth Paltrow cheated on him. # 187 | Amy Reason: She was young and immature and made the biggest mistake of her life.There’s a reason why it wasn’t until his 40s that he found what his fans think is a stable relationship. # 187 | Amy Reason: It took him awhile but Brad finally found the woman who loves him the way he deserves to be loved.I hope I was able to clarify a few things for you. k?

Amy,Baby was not the issue between BP and His ex.Their marriedge was not working.If you read some old interviews, you can get the idea - even BP’ brother mentioned this. If their marriedge worked and they were in love, I think BP could wait a few more years for his ex to be preg as in your mother/father case. However, in BP/ex, they did not "love". So you think they should keep on being married whether they love or not? Furthermore, BP and AJ had a baby but they knew as friends for more than a year and then became involved. So the relationship is not for BP to just have a child. BP went to AJ because he loved her.

There’s a reason why Jen didn’t have a baby with Brad.# 187 | Amy____________because Jennifer Aniston publically said that Brad WASN’T THE LOVE of her LIFE….that is in 2003.And it was a slippery road thereafter…when a woman startys thinking this way about her man….usually it means…an OVARY SHUTDOWN of LEVEL 4

For god sakes. This crap again? Brad is a bad bad man for leaving poor Jennifer Aniston? Doesnt it make you ill inside that you actually wasted lets say five min of your time writing utter garbage about people you dont know? Really let it go. Move on. Its not even your life. What a waste of time. Good luck to the very SANE BAMZS fans. I wont be responding to these trolls. You can have at it.

Anna - you seem to have a problem with the baby but you know….don’t use the baby to judge these two because- they can’t help it that they LOVEEE kids and are thinking of having more- they can’t help it that they got pregnant fast. You know Angelina was 30 when she got pregnantLastly, please stop covering for Jen’s mistakes or actions. For christ sake, the woman couldnt and wouldnt own up for the failure of her marriage. Like a juvenile, she placed it ALL on Brad.I just don’t get why you would side with someon who never takes responsibility for her part in the failure of her marriage and blame/choose to hate a 3rd party - Angelina - instead.Sound juvenile to me.

Here’s a quick FYI before I hit the sack:Toronto Film Festival Fairmont Royal York to Host Clinton BashWhere: 100 Front St. W, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5JIE3Wed Aug 09, 2006 at 09:29:46 AM EST Tags: Celeb Scoop, Toronto Hotels, Toronto Film FestivalPage Six reports today that the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto will be the sight of former president Bill Clinton’s 60th birthday bash on September 9 even though his actual bday is next week.The September bash coincides with the Toronto film festival which has some peeved that Clinton will "steal the thunder" with his high-profile party.The main Toronto event is a Sept. 9 gala at the Fairmont Royal York spearheaded by Vancouver money man Frank Giustra. "This is the high-Celsius ticket," National Post columnist Shinan Govani told Page Six. "Billy Crystal doing the jokes, Sarah McLachlan providing the tears, Chelsea Clinton planting the tribute." Tim McGraw and Lenny Kravitz will also perform.When we do our review of places to stay during the Toronto Film Festival we will probably leave this one off the list. You can’t have any fun with all those dang Secret Service men around.Night all.

Amy - OK, I can tell by the overall tone of your post that you identify with Jen more than Angelina, so I can respect that, fine. However, I don’t think you really realize what Brad and Jen’s problems were. From what I have read, and what they have each said, Jen has major security and esteem issues. It appears (and this is all just my own opinion because nobody knows) that Brad realized after a point that no matter how much he did for Jen it was never going to be enough. He couldn’t convince her she was good enough, pretty enough, talented enough…etc.. and it just wore him down. This isn’t something you cannot understand unless you have been in a relationship like that. It will literally suck the life out of the one trying to always prop the other one up. It goes back to the old saying about how you can’t love somebody else until you love yourself. Jen didn’t love herself enough to accept Brad’s love. It left him emotionally out in the cold because Jen was always focused on her own issues. They were headed for divorce long before he met Angie.As for Angie, she said she was content to raise her child on her own after BBT basically walked out of their marriage. He later said it was the stupidest thing he ever did, but he did it. Brad and Angie were friends first….yes, they were incredibly drawn to each other, and they really clicked, but because Brad was married, it actually worked out to be a good thing for their later romance. They got a chance to really get to know each other in a "safe" way, because of the barrier of Brad’s marriage. However, since Brad was emotioanlly unfulfilled, he saw everything he felt he was missing in life in Angie, and he fell in love with her. Even after that, he did try to work on his marriage for another six months, but they just weren’t happy. B and J would have divorced eventually even if Angie had never met Brad.I also am having a hard time with your feeling that Brad and Angie should have deferred to Jen about how to proceed with what was now THEIR relationship. Jen’s out of it. She basically threw Brad away, IMO. Brad said he and Jen were going to try and keep the love the had for each other, but then Jen gave that VF interview and all bets were off. He has every right to go after what he wants out of life. I also think that B&A didn’t have a baby to stay together, they conceived her because they love each other.

to #187 Amyyour 1st paragraph —-You keep saying there is a reason. Have you done your research, and find out what the reasons are????Gvie me some concrete evidence and tell me what those reasons are. Do your research , please2nd paragraph—There is no set timetable for anyone to have children. Where is it written in the book ???? If you want to wait 10 years, fine. Every couple is different. If they are ready, they are ready !!!!3rd paragraph—-You brought up your parents as example. But as i said before, every relationship has different ingredients. Time, age, profession, outlook, financial resources are all different. How can you force your parents model on anyone???? You said your mother waited until she is 37. Well, may be she had a hard time to conceive and not because of waiting to develop her career. According to you4th paragraph—-Once the divorce paper is filed, neither party owes the other party anything. To me, you cant force relationship. If the passion and love is gone, I feel Brad should have left Aniston a lot sooner.

That’s why some of us don’t get and can’t accept how Brad broke up with Jen and just went off having a baby with Angelina of all people. # 187 | Amy |***********************And I gotta address this, too. I never use the term Brangelina. It’s insulting I don’t like it. I always say their names. They are two people. No, do not look at them as just "celebs" as you say, and yes, I am a mature intelligent woman. I can think for myself. You are trying to stereotype people who think Brad and Angie are a cool couple because it justifies your own opinion. Maybe you need to take another look. You are missing some key info here, and you are way too dismissive of Angelina. You feel many B&A fans don’t give Jen credit or beleive sheis a good person, well when I first got interested in all this (and I am not a star-struck celeb watcher, believe me) I was a greta fan of Angleina’s already, but had not paid alot of attention to Brad & Jen. Brad was someone I considered to be a good actor, but I felt neither he nor Jen had much substance to them, so I didn’t pay alot of attention to them. Once Brad got divorced and started saying things like, "I realized I was too concerned about playing interesting roles, when what I really wanted to do was have an interesting life", well hey, I felt like he deserved a little further investigation. I also made it a point to read up on Jen, and I have to say, the more I read abot her and the words coming out of her mouth, the less and less impressed I was. I began to totally see why Brad was unhappy and why he fell for Angelina. The both seem to bring out the best in each other, and that just captivates me the way any good love story does. I wish all three of them the best, but until Jen works on her issues, she’ll find true happiness. I think Brad and Angie found it in each other. The realize there are people like yourself who don’t understand them, but they also realize they aren’t living their lives to please anybody but themsleves.

# 185 | AddictedtoBAMZs | All I was saying was we are far behind in accepting women as a powerful force and equal to men. I never mentioned Hillary did I, so did where did that come up?

I hope I did not anger you ,but all I did is speak what I see and I do not see USA for years electing a woman as a president. even if they are more competant than their male opponents… Thats all, maybe we need to agree to disagree…

Worlds AwayAs Hollywood starts getting heavy again, the intense, globe-trotting ‘Babel’ tries making art out of tears and fears.By Lorraine AliNewsweekSept. 4, 2006 issue - It’s three in the morning and thick clouds of dust roll across the rural Mexican dirt road like New England fog. Nearby, strings of bare-bulbed lights illuminate an outdoor fiesta where dozens of Tecate locals in cowboy boots and chunky heels dance to the rowdy ranchero band Los Incomparables. But not everyone’s having fun. A cameraman on the perimeter of the set has had it with all the errant chickens underfoot. "Get the f— out of here!" he orders, but this chicken doesn’t speak English. "¡Silencio, por favor!" yells a stage manager from the other side of the clapboard fence, and the bird stops in its tracks. Communication breakdowns and cultural rifts drive Alejandro González Iñárritu’s "Babel," a film that spans three continents, seven languages and many leagues’ worth of buried emotion. It’s his latest in a trilogy that includes "Amores Perros" and "21 Grams," but this time, the Mexican director’s overlapping stories have gone global. Two Moroccan brothers testing their dad’s rifle accidentally shoot an American tourist named Susan (Cate Blanchett), and in an instant dozens of lives are intertwined. Susan and her husband, Richard (Brad Pitt), are forced to rely on rural villagers—and each other—as she fights for her life. The Arab boys’ humble family pays the price when the shooting is interpreted as a terrorist incident with international implications.Meanwhile, the American couple’s children are supposedly safe at home in California, except that their Mexican nanny, Amelia (Adriana Barraza), has taken them to Baja for her son’s wedding, where she runs into trouble at the border, thanks to her smart-mouthed nephew Santiago (Gael García Bernal), who’s chauffeuring her around. In Tokyo, the deaf-mute teen Chieko (Rinko Kikuchi) and her father, a businessman who once gave his rifle away to a local on a Moroccan hunting trip, are perilously drifting apart after her mother’s suicide. "I kept saying to myself, ‘If this doesn’t work, it will be one of the most horrible disasters in film history’," says Iñárritu. "It’s four short stories that have nothing to do with each other. There’s no one apparent connection, so it all could look like a National Geographic special on global cultures." Iñárritu has been resting easier since "Babel" won best director at Cannes this past May. The film, written by Guillermo Arriaga, is compelling, intense and emotionally draining, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. "By the end there’s a moment similar to ‘The Pianist’," says Blanchett. "The whole vision of that film had been in small rooms and internal spaces, and suddenly, he climbed over the wall and saw the shattered remnants of Berlin, and you were taken to this epic place. I think what Alejandro has done is supremely masterful. What could have been a mission statement is really very subtle and sophisticated in an almost subterranean way."Most of the folks in "Babel" are not actors but locals from the areas where the film was shot ("Alejandro always picks the best places: dusty, difficult and beautiful," says Bernal, a longtime friend). In Japan, Iñárritu found many of the girls at a school for the deaf. In Morocco, he had muezzins make announcements from the minarets of mosques ("Want to be in a movie?") and in Mexico, his casting agent scoured weddings and marketplaces. They found Alfredo Macias, 19, in a local club. He plays the groom. "My character is explosive, unpredictable," says Macias. "He loves women and getting into fights. He’s just like me." Claudia Sylvia Mendoza, who plays the groom’s grandma, was spotted at an Ensenada market. "I’ve always admired great actresses in soap operas," she says. "Sometimes they play my own life. I watch and imagine which one I could be." Real people with unbleached teeth certainly make for more authentic characters, but it wasn’t always easy working with novices. On the set in Tecate, Iñárritu spent two hours and most of his patience trying to get one of his drunk nonactors to simply stay within the camera’s frame. During a wrenching scene in Morocco, Blanchett’s character is fighting for her life, but the villager tapped to play her caregiver kept smiling at the camera. "It was very dispiriting to see Cate giving me take after take with all her heart, killing herself," says Iñárritu. "I think we finally got it on take number 32." Pitt, Blanchett and Bernal had of course read the script, but it was almost impossible to pull back and see the big picture that the director was attempting to draw: all the plotlines seemed so disconnected. "I thought, ‘I’m sure it will be great whatever it is’," says Bernal, whose first film was "Amores Perros." "But it’s like walking in blindfolded. Only Alejandro really knows the big spectrum. I’m just a humble servant working here. I know what my one function is; it’s very specific." He smiles. "I’m just the chauffeur in the Brad Pitt movie." Sure. And "Babel" is just a little local movie—that conjures up the world.http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14533210/site/newsweek/page/2/

#187 AmyYou make valid points, but as a "serious, mature" person in the real world, what you are missing is that OF COURSE Brad didn’t love Jen anymore. IF you are in love, what you are saying makes absolute sense. But obviously there was a lot more going on than just Jen not having kids. I don’t agree with all the comments about Jen’s dried-up womb, etc, because I don’t think there’s a problem with not having kids, or waiting to have kids. But Jen was NOT a good person to Brad — she LIED about wanting them, and that is from her own mouth, not tabloids, her own interviews and comments from when she was dating him onward. She would say one thing, and do another. But besides that, Brad had little in common with her. He had interests in architecture, travel, family, and adventure. Jen likes the superficiality of Hollywood, hates to fly anywhere, is a homebody, wants quieter pursuits. Brad likes to do things with his family, by himself, or a few close friends, while Jen likes to have a group around her at all times. She’s never been able to do anything by herself. Brad was much more selective in what films he’d do, while Jen would take whatever was offered as long as she could just be in a movie, and a lot of the time she got her roles with his help. There was a serious lopsided to their success, not financially, but in talent, power, acceptance, and this was a wedge as Jen is very insecure. In fact, Jen’s insecurity drove them apart, too — again, not tabloid crap, but her own interviews, her own admissions, his as well, of how he called her "leaky" because she cried all the time, how she couldn’t stand to be alone, that kind of thing. When in a marriage of only two years old you are already scheduling your work to be apart as often as possible, there is trouble, and while the fans want to look at the public appearances on the red carpet with them holding hands looking beautiful as their relationship, the fact is that they had little in common and spent less and less time together. Even when he was home, he spent more time renovating his house than with Jen, who spent time with her girlfriends. How could this be such a good relationship? This is not likeyour parents’ relationship. This was NOT a healthy marriage, by any description. That is why it was easy to leave it — by all accounts, Brad had "checked out" long before he actually left.

#174 GuliI agree with you about women equality. Many other countried, including Pakistan, Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, etc have female leaders. And even Sri Lanka had women voting before the U.S. did! Women in the U.S. strike me as sappy quite a bit. They are very concerned with finding a man, but then say they are equal, but they sure want that man to take care of them. They resent a female boss, and a woman who defies the norm. As a woman who has not rushed to get married, I’m often criticized, even by FRIENDS, who take my not going along like a sheep and putting my man first and popping out kids as a criticism of THEM. They can do what they want, why can’t I? Women here are NOT equal to men — they still are very old=fashioned, and constrained by Victorian attitudes that make them do the bulk of the housework, the child-rearing, and running social activities, and so are worn out and crabby if they also have a career trying to juggle it all, while the men sit back and complain about their wives not wanting sex anymore and say they are "helping" with child-rearing and the house because they put in about 10 hours a week to a woman’s 20. When women value themselves, THEN they will be equal, but right now, in America, they still look at men as a means to an end and a woman who is friends with men is vilified — like Angie. A successful woman — like Hillary — is vilified for having ambiton and strength and being serious and not sappy and fluffy. Unthreatening average intelligence is lauded — which is why Paris Hilton has celebrity and Jessica Simpson is more known for her boobs and hair than for her singing. Condileeza Rice — a "yes man" with no original thoughts is more acceptable than a woman like Elizabeth Dole, who could actually lead and solve problems while heading the Red Cross, among her many accomplishments. The women who fought for the right to vote were treated abominably in their time, too, and until recently, it was understood that a woman voted as her husband or father wanted her to.Guli, you are right about American women. Women need to step up and be supportive of other strong women, instead of attacking them, and think for themselves to make true independence and equality a reality.

# 218 | Early AM Poster read that too. Hehehehe "wife," oh how I love their phrasing.

freidaflo @ 08/27/2006 at 6:50 am

216= remember da truth I love the line"BRAD had checked out before he actually left. Its kaput, done , chiao bambina….This same topic keeps on popping up and I don’t know when it will stop. THanks to smart posters like you, the rebuttals ,mostly factuals are what makes AJ/BP threads enjoyable to read.

Thanks, FriedafloI think for some people, like Amy, who didn’t come in here with nasty comments, just quietly gave her opinion, it’s easeir to respond in a measured way. So many people bought the image, and then even a reputable magazine like Vanity Fair contributed to it, that as the Brad and Angelina train rolls on more people are questioning. If we as BAMZS fans can address them with facts, it might do a lot to dispel the crazy people’s vocal banter and more and more average, middle-America people who fell for the "Golden Couple" will see the TRUE light.

#174-GULIThankS for giving us a little bit of Turkey’s women’s achievement in politics. For a small muslim country to put a woman in power showed the intelligence and the rationale of the voting mass. In some muslim countries notably Afghanistan , women have very few rights. Schools for girls are taboo esp. in TAliban controlled areas.Very sad….BTW- hope everything is going well with KOREY.

remember da truth @ 08/27/2006 at 7:32 am

Angelah, those pics are fantastic and thank you for going to all the trouble of posting them for us, on both threads! Very cool of you!

# 219 | remember da truth | ITA Yehh, you know . I know but all these years I can not even get my friends to see the FACTS!!! Heck I even have friends who completely agree but go and vote the other direction cause their husband is a lobbiest for them etc… I am sick of it but this isn’t a place to talk about it. I don’t even know how I got my chain yanked (oddly enough a pro BAMZS) to speak my mind. Now if Cindy2 was around, we used to go off line and debate , darn it CINDY2 I miss you, WE miss you, why do we have to wait till september !!!!remember da truth , the bottom line is like you said strong , capable women deep down are resented by most females, hence the hatred towards AJ and the love for poor old X…. Sorry, I can go on and on re this topic but won’t change anything. Even ******* Oprah is a coward and loves to hub-**** with the Hwood crowd and have pitty parties for the X and throw a couple of million to build a school in Africa, Hey Ms. Oprah how long have you ever spent there and since you don’t want to, well at this point CAN NOT have kids WHY not adopt some instead of your frigging DOGS, Oh now I know that is why you love the X so much you both love dogs, what about kids ehhh!!! so O and the others love to talk but not walk with threir words. I haven’t watched her show for over a year and I used to like her. Well Ms. O you make my skin crawl you and your buddy Gail thinking that you are some high old mighty thing … Well I’ll take Angelina Jolie over you anyday, at least she is honest and she walks the talk……..

Angelah,OMG, thanks so much for the pictures.Do you know where AJ went?It seems AJ went to somewhere and got back.

216 | remember da truth ****Great postAs Brad said to Diane Sawyer "Love changes shape"Thanks for the links to th pics.

Wow, such great posts today! I guess you guys had a party while I went out. Well, I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. It is an honor to come here and speak with others who are so on another level intellectually. I have always loved Brad but this Brad is the best of them all. I have learned so much from him and Angie – OMG. She is truly inspiring and a strong willed woman. I didn’t know a thing about refugees and orphans. *****# 171 | Alexanderina ITA. The tabs are looking for a reaction even if it’s a rebuttal. All the other so-called stars have done. Some have even taken legal action. No such thing from BA. When pictures were leaked via the internet, they called in their attorneys and the pictures are gone. # 218 | remember da truth – 224 | guli | those are truly GREAT post. *****OK…now for some light hearted stuff - I thought of a good one for the tabs….Angie is getting close to Bill Pitt and now JV is really jealous and wants to reconcile? Whatcha think? LOL No good, probably sound more like it could be true – well the 1st part anyways……LOL

# 187 | Amy | But the rest of us mature people with serious minds and deep hearts, don’t look at them as celebs. We look at them as real people. That’s why some of us don’t get and can’t accept how Brad broke up with Jen and just went off having a baby with Angelina of all people.Amy, as serious and mature people, you should know that none of us know why Brad and Jen’s marriage broke up. They said it wasnt because of not wanting children. I believe that. They said it wasn’t because of Angelina. I believe that. he said he didn’t cheat and she said she believed he didn’t cheat and her BF Courtney Cox believed he didn’t cheat. I believe them. As mature, serious, deep thinkers, I believe in not judging anyone negatively until I have all the facts from both sides of the equation. On the facts TOLD to me by all parties involved in the triangle (and also BF Courtney Cox), it seems irreconciliable differences is sufficiently accurate and both parties are equally at fault. Both parties agree there is no hope in salvaging the marriage. In which case, why is it wrong for Brad to have a baby and adopt Angelina’s children? Just is it is not wrong for Jennifer to hook up, if she did, with Vince.

# 218 | remember da truth | Great Post and ITA…..
