Annie Shoots Angelina Again
Four years ago, Annie Leibovitz shot Angelina Jolie for the April 2002 cover of Vogue in their first-ever Shape Issue. Four years later, Annie is at it again with Angelina!
Annie Leibovitz is tired and nursing a cold, and she’ s just flown back to New York on the red-eye from Los Angeles, where she spent two days shooting Angelina Jolie for Vogue. Like so many of her photo sessions, there was nothing simple about it. “I talked with Angelina before the shoot,” says Leibovitz, who’s famous for her preparation. “She felt like she was coming back from having the baby and she felt very sexy and ready to go.” Jolie, a pilot, suggested shooting on an old airfield near the desert, with motorcycles and small planes among the props. (She flew herself to the location and the next day, Brad Pitt buzzed up in his plane.) They also spent a day shooting in the dunes near Death Valley, where the mercury hit 104, and the wind whipped so hard that everyone was peppered with sand. There were 50 people on the set, and racks of clothes from the New York spring collections to be tried and styled. It was as if Leibovitz were directing a small movie.
It’ll be very, very interesting to see how Annie will portray Angelina four years later. Expect Angelina Jolie to grace the November 2006 or December 2006 issue of Vogue. Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Yes, I think Brad was very very upset about the Vanity Fair article. I do remember reading about him firing Kristin Hahn shortly after that article came out.

I’ve often read that Brad is a very loyal person, so Ms. Hahn’s actions probably felt like a betrayal. He has to have people around him and working for him that he can trust. I’m sure it sent a clear message to anyone working for him or wanting to work for him. Good for him. I see his actions as right and proper, and not hurtful to Angie at all. In fact, I think it sent a message to people in Hollywood not to mess with him or Angie, and that he was going to be protective of their privacy.

I know Brad was deeply wounded, and angry over the whole VF thing. …and I know, I know, I KNOW — the ‘Celebrity Living’ story about Brad breaking down on the phone, and telling Angie he ‘couldn’t live without her,’ was tabloid - I think this is one of those times when they got it right, particularly the parts that referred to the stress of his divorce, and not being able to focus — mind you this would have been September when all of the sh*t (VF article) was hitting the fan too, couple that timing with the news he was going to be a father, and Angie being away for a couple days at a time (UN Global Humanitarian Awards, Adoption Benefit, etc.) during the same time — and I can see him experiencing a lot of very turbulent raw emotions. Considering Hahn betrayed him, considering the whole article was a vicious disrespectful backstabbing, I know he was saddened and angered. I think it speaks to the delusion of Maniston that she thought Brad would continue to be the caring, kind gentleman after her brazen disrespect (in some ways it was WORSE than what Paltrow did - afterall, even she eventually fessed’ up and absolved him!)
Aniston on the other hand, left interpretation and speculation wide open, forever making him the cheating cad who is at best inconsiderate and insensitive and at worst, is without any kind of integrity or decency whatsoever — not to mention the way the piece slurred the mother of his children. I bet Brad got down on his knees with Angie and begged forgiveness for ever having evan associated with such a neurotic sad f**ked up nasty passive aggressive *****. AJ probably told her baby it was alright, and that she was only hurt and anry because he was.
That’s why, when some of these rags write the science fiction that he has been ‘calling Jen,’ or ‘talking to Jen,’ and they’ll have Angelina putting her foot down — it’s the not only the height of hilarity…but seemingly preposterous to me, given what has taken place.
Brad is “done” with her.
I’m sure he can be civil in public, or when need be…but beyond that - nothin’, nada, zilch.
I think Brad can be very ruthless when it comes to those who have betrayed him. For example, and this is PURE speculation — you know how Paltrow and Maniston share Huvane? Well, I think that was deliberate on Brad’s part years ago — I think he may have gotten Huvane for maniston, or been instrumental anyway in getting her that kind of representation. It could have been a way of sticking it to Paltrow, by using her own agents time and resources for his new gf, but more than that - it kind of gave him an “in,” in terms of what Paltrow may or may not have been plotting in the way of press surrounding him. During that time, people said Brad was extremely angry and embittered because of what he thought were rumors being spread by the Paltrow camp (that he was the cheater, that he was ‘dumb,’ etc.), all in a bid to make her look better in the press. It was said she and her peeps were paranoid that the truth would come out. We can’t have ‘the princess’ being a *****-ho and cheating on Brad Pitt with Harvey Weinstein (eeeew, LOL), or Ben Affleck, or the guy from ‘Sliding Doors,’ or whoever the hell it was.
It’s just an idea I had — and maybe that isn’t how Maniston got Huvane…but it just seems odd to me.
I say all that to say - Brad’s a nice guy of course — but a doormat, he’s not — you’d think Maniston would have realized that…it really is a mistake to cross him. Remember it’s always the nice, kind ones that can go bat sh*t crazy on your ass when pushed to the edge. LOL I don’t think with Maniston it’s as emotionally fueled as it was with Paltrow — I just think he very systematically has withdrawn his initial plea for friendship, and cut her the f*** off, COLD. That is why he doesn’t speak of her. It’s also why, when she would speak of him post split - she would relay that he was good and kind, and she’d love him etc., but she went from that to NOT speaking — holding her usual grudge. I have a feeling when the Vanity Fair piece blew, Brad tore up his all overtures of being actual friends, and cooly became a civil stranger talking business (if and when he had to talk to her at all) - I bet that unnerved her more than anything…her gentleman, her kind Bradley, her pal, was GONE, baby! Replaced by a cool civil stranger that wanted NOTHING to do with her, on ANY level. That’s why on Larry King, when asked, she squirmed, and grimaced, and very curtly told Larry when he asked if they “still talk?” She said, “yeah.” He said “Pleasant?” She said, “Yeah, pleasant. done.”
You’d think these ho’s would get a clue. Look where Brad is…and look where they are. Brad’s station and status remains unchanged. If anything he is hotter than her EVER was. Not only making more money, but reaping more acclaim and wielding more power. These ******* are truly a sandwich short of a picnic. That, or Brad is just such a good man, they’re silly asses mistake that for being a pushover, or as a guy who will have some kind of residual feeling for them.
I’ve said it before. Brad strikes me as the kind of man who needs love to give love. The more you put into it, the more he gives back. That’s why a loving nurturing person such as Angelina, who needs love to give love also — is PERFECT for him. I think they both adore each other.
But once his partner stops giving love — and/or stops giving the kind of RESPECT and consideration which engender that love (Maniston, Paltry)….I think he packs it in, and doesn’t look back.

Re Jon Voight at ‘The Departed,’ premiere — I hope he didn’t bring that “goddaughter” Shyler Shay or whateverthef**k her name is. Grrrrrr. I get the feeling Angie does not appreciate this little wannabe hangin’ on to her Dad, trying to get a leg up in the biz (Hell! even Angie didn’t do THAT, and she’s his daughter for the love of God!! She tried to disassociate as much as possible from Voight when she was starting out) — she for sure doesn’t trust that woman. Plus, the ninny had the nerve to comment once or twice on what ‘Jon’ was feeling over not being in Angie’s life!! Who is that *****?? UGH.
———————————————–
Oh man — you guys are right…how could I have forgotten what Oct. 2nd was??? LOL My Gosh, that was a happy day! Brad’s freedom - his re-BIRTH day! LOL
—————————————————
QQQQ - God, that’s so wierd to be laughing and talking like that about someone whom you were supposedly sooooo close to. She has said so many things that lead me to feel SHE is the one missing a sensitivity chip. *****.
OMG, can you imagine Jon Voight showing up at the premier of Babel? I think the man is crazy enough to do that. He better stay about if he knows what good for him

Hey can go to the Babel premieres. BAMZS is going to be in India when it comes out and there’s probably no way Angie is going to be able to come back to the states for it. I doubt Brad’s there either unless he comes back from India early. And since he’s the producer, that would be a little silly.

This is one aspect about Aniston’s INSENSITIVITY that is so glaring that her die hard fans are blinded to is what continues to perplex me…….how can you laugh about somebody’s death…and to dismiss it so trivially like in a magazine for her therapist’s family and people to read and see is not just plain stupid but downright insensitive and cold.
So yeah, she is a major FRAUD because she not only fooled her husband but people who sympathyzed with her ACT.
Did anyone hear it in the news tonight that Brad is going to do a documentary with Borat?
826 | malaya
She has a very dark sense of humor. The way I see those comments, like the one about her therepist, is she thinks she has to laugh at everything. Sort of showing she is tough and can roll with the punches and sees it as one more thing that has happend to her. In other words she is too self involved to see it for what it is a death of a human being rather than one more thing that happend to her. Its her theme. Everything HAPPENS to her. Everything is someone elses fault. Again, something Ted C. mentioned in that blind item. How Melba Toast thinks its all everyone else and she is never to blame.
827|truth|
I didnt see it on the news but read it in life and style |Brad Pitt’s latest score in his divorce face-off with Jen Aniston is none other than Borat himself, Sacha Baron Cohen. Da Ali G Show actor, who was once a tenant of Jen’s when he rented her Hollywood Hills home, is now switching allegiances, an insider tells LifeandStylemag.com exclusively. “Sacha and Brad have been talking about making a feature film for a while, but they’ve really bonded since Brad screened the Borat movie,” the insider says. “Brad says it’s a work of genius and is determined to find something he can work on with Sacha. They’ve already had some casual discussions and a dinner together, so a project will probably happen soon.”
Stardust! Jon’s George W. impression is the funniest one I’ve ever seen and that laugh lol Stephen’s hotline for Jewish people, I love him.
Off-topic Anyone else watch Nip/tuck tonight?
829 | Ivy |
LOL! Divorce face off? Who writes this stuff ! That was so funny. Thank you ivy.
Is it wrong to feel so giddy everytime I read some happy news about Brad or Angie? The sh*t they went through…now to see that people ARE supporting them or praising Angie’s humanatarian work…I love it!
——————————–
Amaya- I’m still here. Just went into lurking mode. I saw TDS. Jon does the best George W. and Lieberman impression. LOL. What did you think of the interview with Pakistan’s President?
I loved when Stephen told Macaca Allen to call into the hotline to apologize. Thanks for the link that you gave with Arianna’s interview. I watched it again. :)

What strikes me is the degree of neediness she displayed, as if this woman was her lifeline — it makes one wonder how often was she going, was it a standing appt. every Tuesday and Thursday? I find it interesting and ironic that the woman tagged w/ being ‘America’s Sweetheart’ an indulgent wealthy sit-com actress sitting on millions, with a whole gaggle of supportive friends constantly crowing about how they are each others ’support system’ was soooooooo dependent on her ever-present ’shrink’ to the point of wondering if she could even function and make it through a ‘break-up’…….
….while the girl who got tagged as ‘crazy,’ and dark and wild - is off helping save lives, witnessing true suffering, and awful inhumane conditions doing what she can to bring attention, raising happy healthy adjusted children as a single mom, dealing with her Mom’s serious illness, and testifying on the hill (to name but a few accomplishments) has NEVER EVER been to one.
Will the ironies never cease?
LOL
Hello again everyone. I finally got the Oct Esquire. Actually like it, so I an subscribing to it. (never thought I would subscribe to a mag for men :)). One of the pics shown in the article reminds me of the pic of Shiloh in People mag, the one where AJ held her, while BP held Z. Exact same eyes, especially the eye lids.
As for K Hahn, when I read the infamous VF article, about her comments, I first thought was: “how unprofessional this person is”. I am glad BP got rid of her. Let her go work for some other people that are “perfect and saintly”, with nothing to be criticized for. (Of course I am being sarcastic ;))
Stardust, all right I’m bad …I didn’t watch Jon’s interview w/ the President of Pakistan not because I didn’t want to. I missed a part of Nip/tuck when it aired at 10 and I know that TDS repeats like four times a day and again, there’s always youtube. No, I don’t have tivo or a DVR. But I will definitely catch it!
I cannot wait for “A Night of Too Many Stars” , Jon, Stephen, Steve Carell, Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Ricky Gervais, Mike Myers all in one night? I don’t know how I’m going to do it!
Still talking about Aniston I see. IYou guys are obsessed. If you want to talk about her why don’t you go over to her post?
to GULI,
Sorry responding you late, again time difference. I am fasting because of Ramadan and I think I ate too much,at sahur, I can’t breath!!
OK, I can cook kuru fasulye and pilav, also cook patlican kebabi=eggplant kebab. I don’t enjoy cooking but my husband loves eggplant, I know most of eggplant recipes!
Do not worry Tijen, I take care off eggplant salad but you prefer it with tahina, yougurt of plain?
After their offical separation, Brad respected x’s feelings very much, but around filing for a divorce and specially before the photo shots of W magazine, he didn’t care about her feelings as much as he used to.
Because he would have known that these photos could hurt her and he still did it. Between Brad and w went something very wrong before the photos.

A rapper’s wife gave birth Thursday, but the scene quickly turned to tragedy after their newborn girl was pronounced dead.
Rev Run, a.k.a. Joseph Simmons, shocked fans last year when he announced that his wife Justine was pregnant on his MTV reality show “Rev’s House.”
Justine’s pregnancy was the cliffhanger on the MTV show last season. It generated intense interest among viewers who have been anxiously following the pregnancy and awaiting the birth.
Simmons, a member of the legendary rap group Run DMC, was at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood New Jersey Tuesday for the birth of his child. Doctors delivered the baby via c-section, revealing a cruel twist of fate — the baby girl was born with organs outside the body. The newborn died a short time later.
TMZ has learned that MTV cameras were inside the hospital at the time of the birth, though we do not know if they were in the delivery room.
I know Brad is a fan of the show Run’s House since he said it in the Esquire interview and so am I. This news is heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine that kind of grief. My prayers are with the family.
ntt, I just saw the Esquire too, Shiloh really looks like Brad.
839 | OMG.
That is beyond sad. I can’t believe it. I missed some of those episodes so I didnt know shw was expecting. Thats horrible. My prayers go out to them :(
test
Awww, that’s so sad. How awful. Poor thing.
Mediterranean -
Orucun kabul olsun.
I prefer it with plain yoghurt. Thanks you very much.
Yes, I do agree that something big happened for Brad to go ahead with the W spread so quickly after the legal seperation. I guess we will never know. I think he just got really mad or that he was ready to move on at that point.
I’ve got guests, so got to go.
Goodnight everyone!

So that is her show of bravado? I say its more of braggadocio. You know, it makes me realize that a lot of HW insiders probably knows what she’s all about but typical of HW (ex Ted C) they just have to kiss a@#. I like the word you used – “self-involved”, that is so apt. She is one poster child of NARCISM.

Indeed. Ironic is the word.
Living in a third-world country where psychology as a branch is not that much represented and popular and certainly seeing a therapist is not the norm and oftentimes scorned, my opinion about Aniston seeing a therapist for a long time is still mighty excessive to me. After having been in therapy for so long, at some point you would think she will realize that something is wrong with her, the way she handles her life, the people around her and come to terms with her problem – but judging from where she’s at right now and how she deals with people (those that she claims she loves, loved and are in close contacts with) I would come to the conclusion that she’s still in denial and its all a waste of effort (in the part of her long time therapist). And the therapy sessions are just all for show or a just cover…..because to me, despite her being a one dimensional actress, this is where she excels at – showing how insecure she is, she people should give her a pass, justifying all the crappy things she had done to people because she’d been thru a lot. And when you think of it, quite Machiavellian.
Sorry I meant to say NARCISISSM
