Angelina Jolie’s Bodyguard Lays The Smackdown
Here are better pictures of Angelina Jolie sitting poolside at Le Meridien Hotel yesterday in Pune, about 200 kilometers southeast of Mumbai, India. Inset: Angelina’s security officer, Mickey Brett, manhandling paparazzi outside of Le Meridien. More pictures in the gallery including a clearer one Baby Zahara points something out to daddy Brad Pitt.
Angelina is in Pune to shoot Micheal Winterbottom’s A Mighty Heart, a film about American journalist Daniel Pearl who was slain by terrorists in Pakistan four years ago. Angelina plays Daniel’s widow Mariane. More pictures in the gallery…

Bamzs rocks…hmmm but i wanna see shiloh & mad…pleeease!!!!

so many brangelina threads. I love it.
It looks like Mickey is kicking some ass. LMAO
Thanks for the new pics and a thread j@red! Those paps better recognize! really soon for not messing with ‘em even w/ the guards.
OMG I disappear for one day and I come back to a slew of JP&Co pics and not enough time to read them all….i wonder what I missed!
And about those US Article about Jen and Vince…I am duly disappointed. They did not trash Jen as much as I hoped they would..damnit.
They simply made Vince out to be some weak mama’s boy who listens only to his mother and sisters by dumping jennifer. they didn’t make jen out to be the manipulative ***** she is.
But I did enjoy the part where it said Pitt still thinks well of Vince and simply wishes him luck. It’s very “i’m above all that nonsense and i’m not holding on to any garbage.”
Papa Pitt high on flying, Shiloh and Angelina, Part 2
By Ruben V. Nepales
Inquirer
Last updated 00:28am (Mla time) 10/08/2006
Published on page F1 of the October 8, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
LOS ANGELES—WE continue our column (part one appeared last Friday) on Brad Pitt who granted his first interview with us since the media frenzy over his relationship with Angelina Jolie began.
As he settled into a chair in a meeting room at the Universal Hilton, Brad said, “It’s been a long time. It’s nice to see you all. I’ve got three kids (now).” He joked, “You guys do anything?”
Then he proceeded to give a remarkably candid interview, with not a single “no comment” reply. As we wrote in the previous column, the only time he hesitated was when he was lobbed the question, “What are you good at?” “I really don’t know how to answer that,” he answered. He was being modest, of course.
He’s getting very good at acting, as he shows in his latest outing, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Babel,” a magnificently realized film that manages to make all four interrelated stories in Morocco, Tunisia, Japan and Mexico equally riveting.
The famous ex of Jennifer Aniston is also getting very proficient in co-producing films that are being buzzed about as contenders in the coming awards season: “The Departed,” which has critics raving and beating each other for the most number of superlatives they can heap on Martin Scorsese’s finest film in many years; and “Running With Scissors,” the adaptation of Augusten Burroughs’ bestselling memoir with Annette Bening reportedly excellent as a would-be poet and mother.
At the press con, there was a touching earnestness and sincerity in Brad’s face as he answered a question about why he and “Angie” decided to have their baby, Shiloh Nouvel, born in Africa.
With your interest in architecture, do you explain to your kids how to build strong structures when you play Lego with them?
I try to steer them to that direction. I hope we get a little engineer in there somewhere. I heard this great story of a father whose son drew this crazy structure. The son said it was a tree house so the dad made a tree house that looks exactly like the drawing. I thought that was a really nice story. I hope to be able to do that, too, someday.
Angelina said that motherhood has not stopped her from taking causes that are even wilder—those that urge her to take more risks. Do you share that sort of wildness with her?
Yes, unconventional, I would say. Your own personal experience and growth don’t have to stop at being a parent. It can be enhanced in some way, and your experience becomes fuller.
How has your celebrity status affected your humanitarian causes?
Of course, it helps because there’s an automatic spotlight on us. In fact, it’s hard to get out of that spotlight. It occurred to me a couple of years ago and I said it then: Since I couldn’t get out of the spotlight and there were so many people who are in need, maybe if I can be a conduit and deflect from myself.
So it’s been a great help and it opened many doors. We have access to meeting a lot of great minds who can give us a very informed education on a subject. It’s important that if you take on something, you stick with it because Hollywood is known for being flighty. Hollywood has a reputation of being self-serving sometimes. So it better be something that you believe in enough to stick with it.
Certainly, there have been (unfortunate) stories in the past because of this perceived idea, which is truly not the case. But a couple of bad examples can color the whole thing. You can do more harm to the cause. You can actually cause people to turn away and do exactly the opposite of what you set out to do.
What irritates you the most in this world, outside your personal sphere?
That list is long (laughter). Our country was founded on freedom. Anything that becomes a hindrance to that freedom I find shocking and shortsighted. The thing that irritates me the most is not being able to just live my life and let others live their lives as they wish instead of being threatened in some ways. I’ll give you two to keep it short. Second is our shortsighted foreign policy. This film speaks about that in the sense of getting back to this idea that we’re all the same. I am not hugging a tree and holding up a white flag but I am for true understanding and the willingness to understand others’ positions.
Can you talk about the media circus at the height of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”?
If there was a real conversation about what was going on, instead of this push to sensationalize and make money off that, I would have made myself available. But at that point, it was a no-win situation. I knew there would be a time when things would calm down and I could speak more freely and it wouldn’t be abused.
That (the media circus) was not about real journalism. To me, journalism is an unbiased telling of the facts. It’s not about speculation and sensationalism. I rail against the invention of “news.” It says something about our culture.
How has the last two years been for you?
Since I became a father and turned 40, the direction that I’d personally like to take has become clearer. Before, in my younger days, I was more of a drifter. I’d try many things on. I’d try anything. Now there’s real pride in understanding myself, what’s important to me, my own values and acting on those values.
This film probably parallels your passion for cross-culturalism, especially with the international breadth of the cast.
What’s extraordinary is the level of acting. We have people here who will headline a movie and we have adults and kids here who have never acted before in their lives, yet you cannot distinguish the difference. It’s extraordinary on Alejandro’s part to cast these people without any acting experience and to get that depth. The Moroccan kids and the one who played their father were extraordinary. In the scene where Cate’s (Blanchett) getting sewn up, that was actually the local veterinarian (laughter) doing it. He brought this realism. Yet the performances are all equal and there’s no story that stands out above any other.
Can you comment on how adoption from different cultures can help heal the world?
A few years ago, I said this and got into trouble. I just wish everyone would screw everyone so then we’d only have one color. Or we’d have so many colors that we couldn’t keep track and then it really wouldn’t matter (laughter). But that’s an obnoxious way of saying it. On the adoption front, we’re talking about the difference between a kid having a future and death. That was probably the case with our daughter (Zahara) and probably the same case with Maddox as well. That supersedes any other argument. I would like to see more of it instead of this idea of separatism which I rail against.
Africa has a special significance for you now. What are your impressions when you first landed in that continent?
It’s so vast and so different. There are places that are extraordinarily, beautifully haunting. The first thing I was struck by was the lack of opportunity for the people. Remember (the late comedian) Sam Kinison’s joke in the 1980s, which I thought was funny at the time but was really destructive? He said, ‘You live in a f—g desert. Move, move.’ We truly do not understand how fortunate we are with where we were born on the longitude, latitude scale and what a difference that can mean in the course our life can take. It can mean the difference in having the opportunity to become an actor, doctor or a writer or struggling every day for food to feed yourself and your children. God forbid when they get sick. What would you do?
But there’s a great verve and understanding because they deal with death and survival. We don’t have that. It’s a wisdom we don’t understand. As I think about it, that leads me to my character and Cate’s story in this film. They’re a couple who are used to having a pharmacy down the road. We can get anything we want—doctors and all. So our characters don’t think when they just say, ‘Great, we’ll go to Morocco,’ it’s the romantic idea of going to another country. They don’t think about what would happen if they were to get into some kind of accident and how they would deal with it. They’re not accustomed to the lack of services and opportunities. (But in the US), we grow up with the American dream—that we can be anything we want. That’s the most lasting impact Africa has on me. It goes back to the issue of equality. It makes me and others I work with want to even out that playing field in some way.
Some reports claimed that you got married yesterday. And can you talk about the message you are sending by having an American baby in Africa?
No, not true (on the first one). But (we are) just as dedicated. Two people with our track record, you know (laughter). Namibia served a twofold purpose. I’ll tell you a funny story. I was told this after the fact. At a meeting of the African Union, the Minister of Tourism from Namibia was asking South Africa, “How do we help ourselves with tourism? No one knows we exist. People don’t come here.” That was about two months before we went there (laughing) but we may have ruined a good thing. There was a search for where we can bring this child into the world and have some semblance of privacy for ourselves and our kids, especially her (Shiloh), and especially this idea that she could be part of another place. She was given a Namibian passport. That will bring us back there and at the same time we can invest in that place that Angie had been to before and fallen in love with. We can help out a little bit with their programs. There are great programs going on there. They’re doing some good things on the equality and opportunity front. It was more of an instinct than an actual defining reason why it (Namibia) was right on these levels. Namibia just felt right for us and that was our goal from the beginning. We knew it would be a circus here. We had some romanticized ideas too—going deep in the Congo. But it was more instinctual on our part.
Has fatherhood exceeded your expectations?
Yes. They (the children) define what they want to be. You can’t really push them in any direction. The fun part of being a parent is trying different things on the kids and seeing what they’re drawn to and what they’re not. It’s almost like putting an array of musical instruments out in front of them and finding out which one they’d go for. Unfortunately, ours went for drums (laughter).
Have your kids exceeded your expectations?
Oh yeah, absolutely. As I said before, I am not joking around. I’m looking for a soccer team (laughter). I want to compete in the World Cup.
Since the Mexican portion of this film’s story deals with the immigration issue, can you comment on how cruel the experience can be for people who are not allowed to enter this country legally?
I’m really not knowledgeable enough to speak on it. But I like what Thomas L. Friedman (three-time Pulitzer prize winner, The New York Times’ foreign-affairs columnist and pro-immigration advocate) said—something to the extent of proper control but bigger gates (The exact quote is, “Personally, I favor a very high fence, with a very big gate.”). My worry is if we become too isolationist, we’re going to choke ourselves.
I think the paps are really giving Mickey a headache. Basing MO in this pic., the paps will not leave unless they get shots after shots of the Jolie-Pitts. To think this will the scenario for almost a month. Someone will soon have a lemonade stand near the hotel. There certainly a crowd / mob who will need to cool off.
Brad ’s so cute. Part II
http://showbizandstyle.inq7.net/entertainment/entertainment/view_article.php?article_id=25367
228 | Huh?
—————–
for those who haven’t read it.
Thanks Jared for the new thread and pictures.
The paps better don’t mess with Mickey, he will definitely kick their asses all over India. Mickey you ROCK!
w/ that Inquirer interview, again i love how Brad always uses “we”,
“our”, “us” anytime Angie is also mentioned. Brad also answers his
questions well.
16 | Inquirer | - Thanks for posting Part 2 of Brad’s interview, this was a great interview, he is so cute and funny.
This part is another one of my favorite from the interview:
Some reports claimed that you got married yesterday. And can you talk about the message you are sending by having an American baby in Africa?
No, not true (on the first one). But (we are) just as dedicated. Two people with our track record, you know (laughter).
They may not be married but they are just as dedicated to each other as if they were married. I just love this man and his family
And I really like this one as well:
Can you talk about the media circus at the height of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”?
If there was a real conversation about what was going on, instead of this push to sensationalize and make money off that, I would have made myself available. But at that point, it was a no-win situation. I knew there would be a time when things would calm down and I could speak more freely and it wouldn’t be abused.
That (the media circus) was not about real journalism. To me, journalism is an unbiased telling of the facts. It’s not about speculation and sensationalism. I rail against the invention of “news.” It says something about our culture.
He is so right on, the media circus during M&MS was not about real journalism , it was all about speculation and sensationalism.
Brad, you ROCK!!!
HI. can anyone out there tell me the correct pronunciation of Pune? thanks and also doen anyone know why they choose that particular city in India?
I knew there would be a windfall of info. They can’t strong arm India the way they did Namibia.
“My worry is if we become too isolationist, we’re going to choke ourselves!”
That is one of my favorite part of the interview.
Ritzygal - you are either extremely naive or a liar - they didn’t strong arm Nambia.
You seem very obsessed with B&A even though you are nearly always uncomplimentary. You even post on Brad fans forum. Sad.
im so in lov ewith this family!

How ’bout your own? You in love with them?
28 - Share the love not the hate
hey ladies, I am off to lunch and then to go see THE DEPARTED
I think both Brad and Angie are open and honest.
I like what he said on adoption: “On the adoption front, we’re talking about the difference between a kid having a future and death.” That’s the most important thing I think the haters who make racist comments about Mad and Z should remember. On the media circus and speculations on “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, I think he completely made the right decision to do his talking when the time is right, because the media is in it to sensationalize and make money.
Also whenever they travel and they have so many paps like we’ve seen in the pictures, there’s bound to be friction between the paps and their security, so there’s nothing new to this. The media is going to make up things similar to what we heard about them in Namibia. If they don’t get pictures we are bound so hear sensational stories that will make up for the money they spent going there, so we should brace ourselves up for these stories.
30 | banana |
Brad is always honest.
I really hope Brad DOES NOT get away with NOT doing a sit-down with B.W. or D.S. because that part of the interview where he was allowed to just say “Two people with our track record, you know…” without being challenged further had me wanting more. Why can’t anyone up until now just ask THE questions that forces them (both) to really go on the record about their committment to each other.
I know they are both committed, but I, like alot of you, just want to really hear them frame it in their own words.
Personally, I have no use for B.W. and D.S. but they’re at least good for those really inappropriate personal questions. :)
is angelina playing for the media.of all places why does she have to bring the kids to dangerous places.does she really cares for the kids safety.i wonder really.a real mother always sacrifice for the safety of their kids.angelina seems doesnt care.shes really after publicity photos
Thanks Jared.
Ignore the troll ladies
Some more info

I love this interview more and more! Yes, Brad is always honest, just sometimes you need to read between the lines (not this time).
As for Mickey: so what? Brad and Angie need all the security they can get, they are the most famous couple in the world, they should be protected adequately. I don’t care of they get bad press because of Mickey, the main point is that they are protected. This is all that matters.
35 | willy}
Does it hurt to be that stupid?
35 | willy | - Whatever!
35 | willy |
Less periods please. And using the caps lock wouldn’t hurt either. I could not understand you.
Thanks for posting the interview. It is great.
Wow there are a lot of haters on tonight scrapping the barrel (where have they been if they not seen Angelina happy in the last year or so! She has looked happier than ever). Idiots.
Brad has truly evolved into becoming a concerned citizen of the world. What a difference 2 years make.
45 | spamthehaters |
So true. Angie has been seen doing a lot of smiling recently. The haters wouldnt know it because they live in their own little world of hate.
They should get out more, it might improve their disposition as well as their IQ.
Thanks Just Jared for the new pictures. I am sure that BP/AJ are taking every precaution regarding the safety of their children. The Paps are probably more a problem for them than anything. AJ is there to make a movie and as such it is job and BP is the producer. Therefore, I am sure all safety measures are in place.
Speaking of Movies, I just finished seeing “The Departed”. I highly recommend it. It is a great movie with a highly stylized ending. Matt Damon was cold blooded and one of his best roles. Jack the man was off the chain. It is over two hours long but you won’t notice the length but be prepared for the violence.
ignore the psycho
Oh men here we go again.. That’s great thank you for the pictures. I think Mickey is one of the best and coolest body guard ever.. Pictures are really appreciated!!!
It is believed that Angelina will shift to Abb’s Palace, a 30,000-sq-ft residential bungalow owned by real estate biggie Avinash Bhosale in Baner located not far away from the Sindh Society.
The bungalow, spread over 12 acres of lush green land with a clubhouse, helipad and hangar, is also one of the locales for the big budget film.
The posh palatial farmhouse of industrialist Cyrus Poonawalla, located in the eastern part of the city, is also being considered for the star couple.
38 | CCCC
Thanks for the link. I sure the hotel is nice but it maybe more fun for the kids and more privacy for them to more into one of these homes.
45 | spamthehaters - Agree. I think people fail to realize that she is not in Pune to holiday and have a good time. She is there to play role in a story that is very heart-wrenching and sad which she probably starts filming in a few days.
The whole relation smells of PR!
43 | gismo | 10/7/06 2:45 PM
i believe the PR relationship stench belongs to your one and only JA.
51 | alero - Definitely, it would be more appropriate for them to be in a home to protect their children and their privacy. Hopefully, that’s what they are planning to do.
Wow, would you want to mess with THAT bodyguard? Good choice.

Thank you , thank you, thank you for the scans.
I have been waiting for this. Let the backlash begin, this is going to be a bloodbath. X should have kept her mouth shut and had some class.
Very interesting, pay attention to the last sentence.
Posted Friday, Aug. 12, 2005, at 1:18 PM ET
Brad and Angelina go public!
Again. And with no new pictures. All the tabs note that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie flew to Arizona for the weekend, on the heels of Jennifer Aniston’s bombshell Vanity Fair interview. Us Weeklycalls their trip a
“low-key getaway,” but In Touch’s headline blares: “Brad and Angelina go public!” (The two mags also offer conflicting accounts of what the pair ate for dinner: In Touch says fish tacos for him, fajitas for her; Us says fajitas for him, taquitos for her.) Meanwhile, the tabs work to scrounge up some kind of Pitt-camp response to Aniston’s tearful interview. Us
has “a Pitt source” saying, “Jen is trying
to make him look bad when she was the neurotic one. … The truth is, he couldn’t tolerate her anymore and he had to get out.”
No, not true (on the first one). But (we are) just as dedicated. Two people with our track record, you know (laughter).
Brad should have said this to begin with rather than the lame ass anser he gave Esquire. I still think that someday they will “make it legal” though.
it might be better for them to get out of that hotel. From what was posted in the previous thread, their privacy and security does not seem to be assured. I mean, telling their floor and room numbers, what they ate or drank?
They are human beings doing their jobs. With three small children, they are entitled to what all others enjoy - private moments, peace of mind.
The die hard fans will have to seriously balance the need to see pics and more pics (which drives the paps), and RESPECT for the family. I vote for respect
OMG even the post chronicle
what a change in one year!
Jennifer Aniston: Break-Up And a Boob Job?
By Tashi Singh
Oct 6, 2006
Jennifer Aniston is yet again queen of the tabloid covers this week. Us Weekly is reporting on her rumored split with Vince Vaughn, In Touch Weekly asks the question of whether or not she has had a boob job, and Life & Style magazine is making the outrageous claims that Angelina Jolie is worried she’s “Losing Brad to Jen!”
With Vaughniston coming to an end, we ask these questions:
What has become of the $500,000, 9.5-carat canary yellow diamond Vaughn picked out for Jen? What does Aniston ex Brad Pitt think of Aniston losing at love? And what about this boob job rumor
We all remember the ‘topless’ pictures photog Peter Brandt obtained and while the All-American girl isn’t exactly Jessica Simpson, she didn’t seem to need any enhancement.
It certainly was an interesting year for Aniston. She topped People magazine’s “best-dressed” list, She is reportedly going to be featured in an x-rated bronze sculpture of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and she starred in several bombs at the box office. Aniston also had to endure the biological birth of a daughter to her ex husband Brad Pitt.
Come to think of it, a boob job is just what the doctor ordered.
I’m not a fast reader, and slower typer, JJ is giving me a run for my money over the past couple of days! My family is ready to put me in the looney bin. too much to read can someone tell me where to find Brad’s most recent interview?
63 | India |Take your chill pill and turn off your caps. I thought we discussed this last night honey…. JA is DONE period….
the bad comments are there because Angelina and Brad wear expensive clothes and stay at good hotels but always do so poorly for the public. everything only show and PR.
Maddox carries only designers clothes much tell thundert dollar but Angelina and Brad for many they are so normal … .hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahah hahahahahahahahah
Angelina was to blame more happily, now use to live her children it never wanted, all only Brad, in public and in the luxury like her.
Thanks Jared for the pics. So much info! The second part of the interview was greta, Brad is so happy with his life now.

From what was posted in the previous thread, their privacy and security does not seem to be assured. I mean, telling their floor and room numbers, what they ate or drank?

I agree, too much info is leaking, it would be better maybe if they move to the bungalow and have more privacy. Mickey is going to have his hands full this month.

I need a translator. Does anyone speak gismo?

66 | gismo
????? What are you trying to say?
66 | gismo |
Uhh, gismo, you must be drunken. I’m sure you wanted to talk about Aniston as a PR *****.
You guys really know how to make a mountain out of a moehill–I picked up US Mag waiting to read this SEISMIC shift in attitude towards Aniston and I found it to be lukewarm at best in terms of going after her. Eh.
But to stay on topic, I think they should move to these private bungalows–it would mean less pics, which would be unfortuate for us, but it would also mean less incidents (hopefully) like the one with Mickey and the pap.
I wonder if he has the audacity to treat an Indian pap like that? The love fest would most certainly be over.
57 | Interesting - Very interesting (no pun intended). It was just a matter of time before her weaknesses were exposed. I guess Brad was her shield for 6 years.
68 | Um |well we have such a multi-lingual group here I am hoping someone can be a translator for gismo since I have no clue what she is saying. BAMZSers we need help here and please tell India to turn her caps off :lol:
I need a translator. Does anyone speak gismo?
68 | Um
lol. nope . not a clue. :)
I loved the interview with Brad. I think there is a real sense of contentment in his words. It also seems that he has not allowed all the craziness over the last two years affect his life. He knows it’s all garbage and I am glad he didn’t waste his time with it like Jennifer Aniston did.
66 | gismo
I need a translator. Does anyone speak idiot?
74 | ritzygal |
If you had been keeping up with how Us Weekly had been kissing Aniston’s ass for the past 18months, you would know this was a big deal. Was she hit as hard as I would have liked? Nope. Did I wish they had shown even more of her manipulations? Sure. But what they DID print was amazing to me, they exposed a lot. And coming from Us… that was seismic to me.
76 | guli - lol!
I show Gismo’s post to my 8 years old niece, this is her translation: ” Angie should be vote as best dresser because she has great taste in clothes….. since she does not want to be name in those tasteless media trivia so she dress down like normal people, but still she looks better than the those “best dress” people….Brad and Angie was blamed for giving their children too much loves and happiness, because of that Maddox won the coolest kid best dress on people magazine, the children should be home in a cocoon.
brad pitt is a faking joke,……

Gismo is right, everything lies with Brad an Angie. You came to the right place, Gismo, we also love Brad and Angie.
Of course he is masculine, Katie.
I was happy being just a lurker but for someone to post that Jude is more handsome than Brad, that is the most ridiculous comment I’ve ever encountered. Chill out please.

LOS ANGELES, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt are disappointed they are not shooting “A Mighty Heart,” a film about U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, in Pakistan where he was abducted and murdered in 2002.
Security concerns there caused officials to suggest they work elsewhere. So with the exception of a few background scenes shot in Pakistan, “A Mighty Heart” will be made in the western Indian city of Pune.
The Oscar-winning U.S. actress plays the slain reporter’s wife, Mariane. Pitt, Jolie’s partner, is the movie’s producer.
“I am disappointed that we could not shoot the film in Pakistan, a country that I love and have visited three times,” said Jolie in a statement issued on Saturday by Trevor Neilson, an adviser to the couple.
“They talked with people from all levels of the Pakistan government and there’s certainly no hard feelings. But it became clear that it was preferable to film in India,” Neilson told Reuters by telephone.
He said there was no release date set for “A Mighty Heart,” which is being made by Pitt’s production company, Los Angeles-based Plan B.
The film is based on a book by Mariane Pearl, “A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl.”
Pearl, a 38-year-old reporter with The Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped in Karachi in early 2002 while researching a story in the aftermath of Sept. 11. A videotape of Pearl having his throat cut was later circulated by his killers.
English filmmaker Michael Winterbottom, famed for such war-based films as “Welcome to Sarajevo” and “The Road to Guantanamo,” is directing the movie.
In her statement, Jolie said “A Mighty Heart” is about “cross-cultural understanding and the values that people of all faiths share. This is not a film about terrorism or conflict, it is a story of people of all faiths working together to find the truth.”
Pune, a metropolitan area with more than 4 million people, is in Maharashtra state, about 80 miles (130 km) southeast of Mumbai.

I think ilovejude and gismo are the same english as a second language people! NO?
BA security is on the ball-that’s their mission, to protect BA. Security people also can’t do their job well if pictures are taken of them-people should not be able to recognize them. Paps know that.
Brangelina guards rough up UK journo

PUNE: TV crews and shutterbugs stayed firmly parked outside Pune’s Le Meridien hotel on Saturday, where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have put up, lending the area a festive air.
A sizeable number of fans also gathered to get a glimpse, without luck.
But the day afforded other excitement. Bodyguards roughed up British journalist Sam Relph when he tried to click pictures.
The incident became instant fodder for the media. Relph himself maintained a discreet silence.
A visibly shaken Pelf said he was considering filing a complaint with police against the bodyguard. “I have not yet filed any case. But I am considering it,” said Pelf, who did not reveal the name of the organisation he represents.
“He came up, assaulted me, grabbed me by the neck, squeezed my windpipe and said he’d kill me if I take his pictures again.”

I still don’t understand gismo. Is it from a cartoon? I mean the gismo. Than this blabla is understandable.
So Trevor was speaking with Reuters on behalf of them. It’s good because this is a politically sensitive theme. Do you remember when Brad and Angie attended Pakistan on their way to Japan last year? They had a meeting with Musarraf, we had pictures from that occasion. I bet they tackled this movie issue there.
cont. of #111
Well, probably not the most ridiculous I’ve ever encountered, nevertheless, it’s still ridiculous. Hello to all the BAMZS fans and kumusta to my kababayans!
Gismo and ritzgal and her other personalities;
Here’s big glass of STFU. You can have it cold, hot or you can even put it in an enima and stick it up your ass.

DAMN Mickey means business!
****! I thought the YANKEES play tonight, they play today at 100PST! Going to watch the game and THEN see THE DEPARTED. BBL. Jared will probably have more pics!
Have a good one everyone!

Ok is this Ritzygal pulling our legs or what? No one can be this dumb. Or sound so dumb.
Hallo to all !!!!
thanks Jared and i can only say Mickey Brett is the best. we need one Mickey here. What you think ,that would be fun !!!!!:lol:
Enough already with Brad and Angie. Fine, they are the two best looking people hooking up. Brad has done a 180 and suddenly became a different person at 40 and Angie is a saint.
Admittedly she is doing good work but please, there are people out there with very small income who selflessly offer foster care to hundreds of kids every year - without the need to publicize it - doctors who volunteer to work in poor countries, with no protection of bodyguards, sleeping in sheds instead of bungalows, no clean water or chef to cook for them and receiving zero pennies or support and recognition. They are the people we should call saints. Angie’s heart might be true but enough with the sainthood…..
116 | ?
The movie is based on the book which I have not read. It is M Pearl view so maybe her book dealt with the value of each human being.
119 | kiki
I agree. Very political if Trevor felt the need to release a statement from Angelina.

I wonder why Jude is wasting his time with Sienna.
It’s nice to know even Angelina looks like **** sometimes. She looks straight fug in those pictures.
Oh for the love of Christ! I am not Gismo. I have used other screen names, which I listed in a previous post on another thread, but I am now back to being ritzygal.
I don’t talk about whatever the hell gismo is trying to say about the kids.
As for Angelina, i’m over my prior apprehensions. I’m not a “fan” in the way I define that term, but I don’t bother with the “why is she so ******* crazy” posts.
And I wouldn’t even know how to fake whatever gibberish gismo has been writing.
massimo, learn to use proper punctuation.
126 | NY-here
Who the hell besides you is calling her a saint? I’m just a fan and I admire their work. That’s all!
Just wanted to add… Angelina and Brad donated money to doctors without borders.
No Twig,
That’s just you looking at yourself in the mirror.
It seems there is a siege in Pune’s Meridien. B & A are too big a world happening to stay in a hotel. They should move to a gated property, the risk of another Di’s disaster is real.
pitt didn’t want to go to Pakistan. he is a coward.

trying to protect your family is being such a coward. what an idiot.

I’m not this poster either but I couldn’t agree more.
126 | NY-here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think you just don’t get it-
Brad and Angie publicize their good works to bring attention to the problems, the affected countries, and hopefully achieve widespread for them. They’re USING their celebrity to do that, as Brad has plainly stated.
They can do a lot more good if the world knows about these problems, than if they anonymously contrtibuted money to their causes?
It bores me to death having to point out the obvious to some people….if you take the trouble to read and post here, post relevant things please.
OK????
ROTFLMAO!
Ritzy, you fake, lobster roll, lying ass. You’re always on her pontificating on how great you thing YOU are.
They do have therapy for MPD these day. They can all integrate and become one.
92 | Ilovejude - I see, and where did you find that fact?
I’m not trying to start rumors, but I think Angelina is pregnant again. Just a guess.
Thank you Jared and Audrey! You guys rock!
94 | May - Actually, monogamy is overrated as per Sienna Miller… they are just **** friends.

NO ONE HERE THINKS THEY ARE SAINTS!!!
geesh how lame some people ,are it is pathetic .
To those who care… Hello! magazine ran that “Who is the best Humanitarian” poll? Well, the results are in… Guess who won?

Media versus Brangelina
British photographer assaulted by Brangelina’s security officer; local media demands press conference to end the stalemate
Mumbai Mirror Bureau
Day 3 of Brangelina in Pune and the extravaganza still continues in Pune. All eyes and cameras are still tailing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Photographers and journalists are taking turns to stay up and keep a watch on the movements of the couple, through the night. Apparently, the star couple went for a walk at 4.30 am yesterday, presumably to avoid the media. But they were seen by a few night watchmen among the media.
Brad and Angelina were joined by Dan Futterman, who will play Daniel Pearl, and Aarti and Kailash Surendranath yesterday and the team was closeted in for a meeting that lasted for hours.
Incidentally, tired of the cat-and-mouse game, the local media has demanded that Brangelina hold a press conference and divulge details about the shooting, after which they are ready to disperse. The organisers have agreed to mull over the matter.
Meanwhile, in an unsavoury incident yesterday, the personal security officer of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt today manhandled Sam Pelf, a British photographer, outside Le Meridian hotel where the actors are staying.
The entire press collected there saw Sam being caught by the neck by one of the two personal security officers of the star couple when he tried to take the security officers’ pictures. The security officer also abused Sam vociferously and threatened to thrash him if he did not stop tailing Brad and Angelina.
Both security officers were equally abusive towards all the journalists present, including those from the Indian media. He asked the photojournalist and cameramen from the print and television channels to switch off their cameras.
Sam initially gave a statement saying that he was considering registering a police case against the security officer. “I have not yet filed any case. But I am thinking about it,” he said.
However, by the time we contacted him, the photographer had been briefed not to talk. “My agent has told me not to talk about this incident to anyone any more,” he said. “The incident has turned ugly enough. And now I’ve been told that my job will be on the line is I say anything else.”
• Tailing the paparazzi
Meanwhile, Saurav Dey, a second-year student of the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII), from the direction department, is making good use of the media frenzy going on in the city. He has landed up with his crew at Le Meridian and is tailing the paparazzi here. “I am making a documentary film on the chase, and the entire process of people trying to get in touch with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie,” says Saurav. “I also plan to get Angelina to talk on camera for about three minutes. Right now, of course, it looks like an uphill task. But she’s here for a month, and I’m sure I’ll manage. Now I’m simply filming the whole, and very long, process of trying to get close to a star.”

Papa Pitt, Shiloh and Angelina, Part I
By Ruben V. Nepales
Inquirer
Last updated 10:05pm (Mla time) 10/05/2006
Published on Page E1 of the October 6, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
LOS ANGELES—“Don’t mess around with me, man,” Brad Pitt quipped, his famous blue eyes smiling when a journalist remarked that only two years ago, he said he was ready to be a father.
Now, he has not one but three children.
In an unprecedented freewheeling interview at the Universal Hilton, his first with our press group since he began his much-publicized relationship with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt talked about Angie, fatherhood, the issues he believes in and Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Babel,” his stunning new film.
In gray shirt and jeans, Brad, 43, is younger looking and a lot more boyish in person.
When he was asked to stand by to pose for pictures, he asked, “What am I supposed to do for five minutes?” And then he broke into a brief dance which would have elicited shrieks from his millions of fans had they been there.
Talking for the first time on a variety of subjects, he smiled and leaned forward when the topics were obviously close to his heart and mind, like flying planes and putting his celebrity status to positive use like in environmental activism.
He shook his head emphatically when he named two things that irritate him the most. Sometimes he rocked back in his chair. Reflexively, he occasionally wet his lips.
The only time he refused to answer was when he was asked what he was good at. “You stumped me there,” he told a reporter. “It’s really not for me to say.”
We got to throw the first question—about his emotionally charged scene in “Babel” where his character speaks by phone to his toddler son.
A story (written by Guillermo Arriaga based on his and Alejandro’s idea) about how one rifle shot in the desert affects four families in Morocco, Los Angeles, Mexico and Japan, “Babel” is superbly directed by Alejandro (“Amores Perros,” “21 Grams”), who won the Best Director prize at last May’s Cannes Film festival for this film.
Alejandro’s achievement is doing justice to the milieu in each of the four locations and interrelated stories, drawing fine performances from all (and we mean everybody) in the cast, from Brad (made up to look older, with graying hair), Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal to the Japanese, Mexican and Moroccan cast.
The latter group, recruited from announcements blared from mosque speakers, acted for the very first time before cameras. A Japanese actress, Rinko Kikuchi, is terrific in a daring role (more about her in another column).
The obsession with Brangelina has overshadowed the couple’s impressive philanthropic efforts. Each of them recently made a gift of $1 million to two humanitarian organizations, Global Action for Children and Doctors Without Borders.
“I’ve seen ‘The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl’ about 18 times,” declared Brad who has patiently watched this kiddie favorite with Shiloh Nouvel, his four-month-old biological daughter with Angelina, and their adopted children, Maddox Chivan and Zahara Marley.
During the interview, Brad, who was divorced from Jennifer Aniston last year, was the first to downplay his public speaking skills.
Smiling, he quipped as he began to respond to a question, “Let me just sit here and stutter for about five minutes and I’ll come up with an answer.”
I was moved by that scene where your character is talking to his son on the phone. He is trying to sound normal but he couldn’t control his emotions. Does that scene pack more emotional wallop for you since you’re now a father?
That scene means a lot more to me now. That moment is about the idea of losing almost everything and what that would mean. Sometimes we can’t see the wonderful things in our lives, the wonderful people. When Richard, my character, hears his son’s voice as he talks about something so innocuous but so beautiful, a thunderbolt of realization hits him: I could have lost all of these. From that moment on, his life would hopefully change.
What is it like being a father now that you have three kids.
Three a year so next year I’ll have six (laughter). Nine total. We’re looking for a soccer team.
How has fatherhood changed your life?
It makes me much more efficient. I do everything faster because there’s no time for messing around. I value what I’m doing. I mean, I still value my work but at the same time, I value the part about getting home to the kids. It makes me stealthier in my attack of things. In a funny way, though, it doesn’t make work inconsequential. It makes the work mean more because I know that somewhere down the road, my kids will see my movies. I approach everything now by considering what it might or could potentially mean to them down the road.
How did you manage to co-produce two potentially award-winning films, “The Departed” and “Running With Scissors,” on top of your duties as actor, father and supporter of humanitarian causes?
I work with good people. Maybe turning 40 has something to do with it as well. There were certain things that I wanted to attack and they seemed to work. Having kids makes me more efficient, too. I’m very proud of these films. That’s a whole other aspect of the business. Actors can only work in certain roles but being a producer opens up opportunities. I get to work on films and stories that mean something to me or films that I wouldn’t normally fit in like “Running With Scissors.” It is a real joy.
What was it like working in the middle of nowhere in Morocco without the distraction of the paparazzi?
They did not have a clue we were there. We had to drive an hour to get to this village that was in the middle of like a lunar landscape. They didn’t have electricity. They brought it in for the film. They ran a (power) line and we were able to leave it there afterward which was nice.
Cate says “I peed” in one scene but it is probably one of the most touching scenes.
Yes, it was very intimate. That goes back to Alejandro and Guillermo’s writing. They threw in something as human and mundane as having to take a piss and worked it into this intimate moment. The moment spoke volumes about their history, who they once were and what they could be together. But don’t listen to me. Whatever Cate said, it’s right. Cate has an uncanny insight and I would go with her response before mine.
How does your involvement with humanitarian causes seep into your acting career?
I know it has to seep into acting in some way. Maybe not in “Ocean’s 13” (laughter) but in some way. This film relates to me on that level.
Does this movie speak closer to you?
Yes, because it parallels my belief that what is most lacking is an understanding of each other. It’s a strange thing with globalization, we’re more connected to others and yet, there are more conflicts than ever. It has something to do with a lack of understanding and of talking to each other.
On a lighter note, do you have your pilot’s license yet?
Yes, I do.
What is it about flying that you love so much?
Well, I can’t be followed, which is the first plus. Angie has been flying for a while so the second plus is the idea that it’s like throwing the kids in the back of a Suburban and having some freedom. There’s the freedom in the air and a real sense of accomplishment. Flying is this amazing marriage of human ability with nature and machine. Any one of these can go wrong at any moment so there’s a real call for focus and attention up there. I’m telling you it can go wrong seriously fast but it’s a real pleasure. To be 40 and still be able to achieve things that are personal is a rewarding experience.
What kind of planes do you fly?
We have the beginner planes. Little ones.
Was there a movie that inspired you to become an actor?
No, but strangely enough, I like “Saturday Night Fever” (laughter). I did. I loved it. But it wasn’t because of the bad suits and the dancing although I can do the hustle as I’ve proven today. I didn’t know people could live like that (until I saw that movie). I had only seen my corner of the world which was Oklahoma and Missouri. That there are other complete ways to attack life—this idea of a different culture—I got most intrigued by. I’ve always liked films. I remember watching “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” in kindergarten.
What inspired you then?
A week before I was supposed to graduate from college, everyone had applied for jobs and was receiving offers. I hadn’t applied anywhere. I didn’t have a clue nor did I have any interest to go somewhere. But it occurred to me and I’ve always thought, I wish I’d grown up in New York or LA because I could watch films in those cities. It just struck me one night that I can do it. So within that week, I decided I was going to LA. But I had no money so I worked for a couple of weeks. Then I loaded up the car and went to LA. I did not go back to my college classes. I did not graduate.

Papa Pitt high on flying, Shiloh and Angelina, Part 2
By Ruben V. Nepales
Inquirer
Last updated 00:28am (Mla time) 10/08/2006
Published on page F1 of the October 8, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
LOS ANGELES—WE continue our column (part one appeared last Friday) on Brad Pitt who granted his first interview with us since the media frenzy over his relationship with Angelina Jolie began.
As he settled into a chair in a meeting room at the Universal Hilton, Brad said, “It’s been a long time. It’s nice to see you all. I’ve got three kids (now).” He joked, “You guys do anything?”
Then he proceeded to give a remarkably candid interview, with not a single “no comment” reply. As we wrote in the previous column, the only time he hesitated was when he was lobbed the question, “What are you good at?” “I really don’t know how to answer that,” he answered. He was being modest, of course.
He’s getting very good at acting, as he shows in his latest outing, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Babel,” a magnificently realized film that manages to make all four interrelated stories in Morocco, Tunisia, Japan and Mexico equally riveting.
The famous ex of Jennifer Aniston is also getting very proficient in co-producing films that are being buzzed about as contenders in the coming awards season: “The Departed,” which has critics raving and beating each other for the most number of superlatives they can heap on Martin Scorsese’s finest film in many years; and “Running With Scissors,” the adaptation of Augusten Burroughs’ bestselling memoir with Annette Bening reportedly excellent as a would-be poet and mother.
At the press con, there was a touching earnestness and sincerity in Brad’s face as he answered a question about why he and “Angie” decided to have their baby, Shiloh Nouvel, born in Africa.
With your interest in architecture, do you explain to your kids how to build strong structures when you play Lego with them?
I try to steer them to that direction. I hope we get a little engineer in there somewhere. I heard this great story of a father whose son drew this crazy structure. The son said it was a tree house so the dad made a tree house that looks exactly like the drawing. I thought that was a really nice story. I hope to be able to do that, too, someday.
Angelina said that motherhood has not stopped her from taking causes that are even wilder—those that urge her to take more risks. Do you share that sort of wildness with her?
Yes, unconventional, I would say. Your own personal experience and growth don’t have to stop at being a parent. It can be enhanced in some way, and your experience becomes fuller.
How has your celebrity status affected your humanitarian causes?
Of course, it helps because there’s an automatic spotlight on us. In fact, it’s hard to get out of that spotlight. It occurred to me a couple of years ago and I said it then: Since I couldn’t get out of the spotlight and there were so many people who are in need, maybe if I can be a conduit and deflect from myself.
So it’s been a great help and it opened many doors. We have access to meeting a lot of great minds who can give us a very informed education on a subject. It’s important that if you take on something, you stick with it because Hollywood is known for being flighty. Hollywood has a reputation of being self-serving sometimes. So it better be something that you believe in enough to stick with it.
Certainly, there have been (unfortunate) stories in the past because of this perceived idea, which is truly not the case. But a couple of bad examples can color the whole thing. You can do more harm to the cause. You can actually cause people to turn away and do exactly the opposite of what you set out to do.
What irritates you the most in this world, outside your personal sphere?
That list is long (laughter). Our country was founded on freedom. Anything that becomes a hindrance to that freedom I find shocking and shortsighted. The thing that irritates me the most is not being able to just live my life and let others live their lives as they wish instead of being threatened in some ways. I’ll give you two to keep it short. Second is our shortsighted foreign policy. This film speaks about that in the sense of getting back to this idea that we’re all the same. I am not hugging a tree and holding up a white flag but I am for true understanding and the willingness to understand others’ positions.
Can you talk about the media circus at the height of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”?
If there was a real conversation about what was going on, instead of this push to sensationalize and make money off that, I would have made myself available. But at that point, it was a no-win situation. I knew there would be a time when things would calm down and I could speak more freely and it wouldn’t be abused.
That (the media circus) was not about real journalism. To me, journalism is an unbiased telling of the facts. It’s not about speculation and sensationalism. I rail against the invention of “news.” It says something about our culture.
How has the last two years been for you?
Since I became a father and turned 40, the direction that I’d personally like to take has become clearer. Before, in my younger days, I was more of a drifter. I’d try many things on. I’d try anything. Now there’s real pride in understanding myself, what’s important to me, my own values and acting on those values.
This film probably parallels your passion for cross-culturalism, especially with the international breadth of the cast.
What’s extraordinary is the level of acting. We have people here who will headline a movie and we have adults and kids here who have never acted before in their lives, yet you cannot distinguish the difference. It’s extraordinary on Alejandro’s part to cast these people without any acting experience and to get that depth. The Moroccan kids and the one who played their father were extraordinary. In the scene where Cate’s (Blanchett) getting sewn up, that was actually the local veterinarian (laughter) doing it. He brought this realism. Yet the performances are all equal and there’s no story that stands out above any other.
Can you comment on how adoption from different cultures can help heal the world?
A few years ago, I said this and got into trouble. I just wish everyone would screw everyone so then we’d only have one color. Or we’d have so many colors that we couldn’t keep track and then it really wouldn’t matter (laughter). But that’s an obnoxious way of saying it. On the adoption front, we’re talking about the difference between a kid having a future and death. That was probably the case with our daughter (Zahara) and probably the same case with Maddox as well. That supersedes any other argument. I would like to see more of it instead of this idea of separatism which I rail against.
Africa has a special significance for you now. What are your impressions when you first landed in that continent?
It’s so vast and so different. There are places that are extraordinarily, beautifully haunting. The first thing I was struck by was the lack of opportunity for the people. Remember (the late comedian) Sam Kinison’s joke in the 1980s, which I thought was funny at the time but was really destructive? He said, ‘You live in a f—g desert. Move, move.’ We truly do not understand how fortunate we are with where we were born on the longitude, latitude scale and what a difference that can mean in the course our life can take. It can mean the difference in having the opportunity to become an actor, doctor or a writer or struggling every day for food to feed yourself and your children. God forbid when they get sick. What would you do?
But there’s a great verve and understanding because they deal with death and survival. We don’t have that. It’s a wisdom we don’t understand. As I think about it, that leads me to my character and Cate’s story in this film. They’re a couple who are used to having a pharmacy down the road. We can get anything we want—doctors and all. So our characters don’t think when they just say, ‘Great, we’ll go to Morocco,’ it’s the romantic idea of going to another country. They don’t think about what would happen if they were to get into some kind of accident and how they would deal with it. They’re not accustomed to the lack of services and opportunities. (But in the US), we grow up with the American dream—that we can be anything we want. That’s the most lasting impact Africa has on me. It goes back to the issue of equality. It makes me and others I work with want to even out that playing field in some way.
Some reports claimed that you got married yesterday. And can you talk about the message you are sending by having an American baby in Africa?
No, not true (on the first one). But (we are) just as dedicated. Two people with our track record, you know (laughter). Namibia served a twofold purpose. I’ll tell you a funny story. I was told this after the fact. At a meeting of the African Union, the Minister of Tourism from Namibia was asking South Africa, “How do we help ourselves with tourism? No one knows we exist. People don’t come here.” That was about two months before we went there (laughing) but we may have ruined a good thing. There was a search for where we can bring this child into the world and have some semblance of privacy for ourselves and our kids, especially her (Shiloh), and especially this idea that she could be part of another place. She was given a Namibian passport. That will bring us back there and at the same time we can invest in that place that Angie had been to before and fallen in love with. We can help out a little bit with their programs. There are great programs going on there. They’re doing some good things on the equality and opportunity front. It was more of an instinct than an actual defining reason why it (Namibia) was right on these levels. Namibia just felt right for us and that was our goal from the beginning. We knew it would be a circus here. We had some romanticized ideas too—going deep in the Congo. But it was more instinctual on our part.
Has fatherhood exceeded your expectations?
Yes. They (the children) define what they want to be. You can’t really push them in any direction. The fun part of being a parent is trying different things on the kids and seeing what they’re drawn to and what they’re not. It’s almost like putting an array of musical instruments out in front of them and finding out which one they’d go for. Unfortunately, ours went for drums (laughter).
Have your kids exceeded your expectations?
Oh yeah, absolutely. As I said before, I am not joking around. I’m looking for a soccer team (laughter). I want to compete in the World Cup.
Since the Mexican portion of this film’s story deals with the immigration issue, can you comment on how cruel the experience can be for people who are not allowed to enter this country legally?
I’m really not knowledgeable enough to speak on it. But I like what Thomas L. Friedman (three-time Pulitzer prize winner, The New York Times’ foreign-affairs columnist and pro-immigration advocate) said—something to the extent of proper control but bigger gates (The exact quote is, “Personally, I favor a very high fence, with a very big gate.”). My worry is if we become too isolationist, we’re going to choke ourselves

Day 3 of Brangelina in Pune and the extravaganza still continues in Pune. All eyes and cameras are still tailing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Photographers and journalists are taking turns to stay up and keep a watch on the movements of the couple, through the night. Apparently, the star couple went for a walk at 4.30 am yesterday, presumably to avoid the media. But they were seen by a few night watchmen among the media.
Brad and Angelina were joined by Dan Futterman, who will play Daniel Pearl, and Aarti and Kailash Surendranath yesterday and the team was closeted in for a meeting that lasted for hours.
Incidentally, tired of the cat-and-mouse game, the local media has demanded that Brangelina hold a press conference and divulge details about the shooting, after which they are ready to disperse. The organisers have agreed to mull over the matter.
Meanwhile, in an unsavoury incident yesterday, the personal security officer of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt today manhandled Sam Pelf, a British photographer, outside Le Meridian hotel where the actors are staying.
The entire press collected there saw Sam being caught by the neck by one of the two personal security officers of the star couple when he tried to take the security officers’ pictures. The security officer also abused Sam vociferously and threatened to thrash him if he did not stop tailing Brad and Angelina.
Both security officers were equally abusive towards all the journalists present, including those from the Indian media. He asked the photojournalist and cameramen from the print and television channels to switch off their cameras.
Sam initially gave a statement saying that he was considering registering a police case against the security officer. “I have not yet filed any case. But I am thinking about it,” he said.
However, by the time we contacted him, the photographer had been briefed not to talk. “My agent has told me not to talk about this incident to anyone any more,” he said. “The incident has turned ugly enough. And now I’ve been told that my job will be on the line is I say anything else.”

I am sure you are joking.
• Tailing the paparazzi
Meanwhile, Saurav Dey, a second-year student of the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII), from the direction department, is making good use of the media frenzy going on in the city. He has landed up with his crew at Le Meridian and is tailing the paparazzi here. “I am making a documentary film on the chase, and the entire process of people trying to get in touch with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie,” says Saurav. “I also plan to get Angelina to talk on camera for about three minutes. Right now, of course, it looks like an uphill task. But she’s here for a month, and I’m sure I’ll manage. Now I’m simply filming the whole, and very long, process of trying to get close to a star.”

What? demand?! So far this is worse than Namibia.
OT- I can’t watch the yankees anymore I’m ******* pissed.
ritzygal:
I am happy with his answers. Why cant you?
who in the world demands a press conference. WTF is that! Okay this is getting out of control.
126 | NY-here - I understand what you are saying but one question, are they movie stars?
149 | Anna |
Sorry, didn’t notice you had already posted the article.
If India is so crazy, I’m sure they will pull the production out of the country. They should calm down, and don’t demand press conferences etc, this is so transparent.
164 | raqchel |
I know this has nothing to do with anything anybody’s talking about but I did see BONO’s
name mentioned, which made me remember when Brad & Jen where on stage with him.Obviously Brad had an interest in humanitary causes even then. So it stuck with brad while it fell on deaf ears with X and when he met up with Angelina, he must have realized that SHE was the one to partner with, a soulmate. Now the other team keeps saying he’s morphing into her, I just think they’ve just grown closer together.
I’ve got ADD and have to write things as soon as I think od them
164 | raqchel |
Yes, it is. They should move out of the hotel.
159 | Gussie |
Great gobs of goose grease, Gussie! It is getting crazy over there. And why was that photographer trying to take pics of the JP’s security officers? No wonder Mickey got upset that they wouldnt stop after being asked to. Really crazy!

Question: Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?
Answer: Angelina Jolie
Question: Is the celebrity of ‘Brangelina’ bringing light to the issues? Answer: Not them as a couple. But Angelina Jolie. Wow. I was in Darfur, you know the situation there, and Angelina walks in, no security, nothing. She’s hardcore man, she’s fearless. When she walks into a room, people write about it. Now that is cool.
142 | You hear - Wonderful, I hope it is true. Can’t wait to see another Jolie-Pitt enter this world (albeit it is a crazy world). They
Jared - Just love that you are working overtime this weekend! It’s so much fun when they are away and we are getting daily pics. I just feel terribly bad for them though living in that kind of fishbowl.
Anyway - I know this is a BAMZS thread, but I couldn’t help myself. It’s just too good.

This Week’s Biggest Losers 10/07/06
Posted Oct 7th 2006 6:00AM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: The Z List
In the new movie “The Departed,” Jack Nicholson’s character, Frank Costello, at one point says, “We’re all [on our way out]. Act accordingly.” Here are a few celebs who, depending on your point of view, may or may not be adhering to that philosophy.
Jennifer Aniston: While Brad Pitt was going on this week about his desire to add six more kids to the Brangelina “soccer team,” and Vince Vaughn was in London for the shoot of “Fred Claus” and an appearance this Sunday in the 24-Hour Plays Gala at Kevin Spacey’s Old Vic Theater, plain-old-Jen-again was likely crying in her Chamomile tea. In inheriting the paparazzi J-glare from previous recipients J. Lo and J. Ro (Julia Roberts), the 37-year-old L.A. native is now left to ponder, once again, the ability of the media fishbowl to scare away the best-looking fish in the sea. Short of dating a paparazzi or stealing Sean Penn away from Robin Wright, Aniston is left with no choice but to put that biological clock on snooze. Again.
Yes! Did you want something? Or did you just want to see how my name looked in the little box.
#126 NY here
I doubt Brad/Angie are seeking any publicity. It is the media, photogs that are fueling these.
Publicity on a good cause is good. If they can bring attention to a certain issue, I see nothing wrong with that. I equate any publicity campaign to a marketing tool. I never would have known about Angie’s UN work until Brad’s divorce.
.
177 | Ilovejude
I believe there are quite a few new “Jude” threads on JJ’s site now, so I would suggest why don’t you go and post there. We all love Brad here and think he is perfection so you are really wasting your time here.
I chuckled when I read that the paps DEMANDED they have a press conference. That’s BALLS! :) From their perspective, I guess it couldn’t hurt to ask. I mean, you never know. And if they all banded together and started putting bad press out there about them, B&A could feel pressure to do just that, especially with the WONDERFUL press Mickey has been generating for them. Actually, it’s kind of funny. The paps are really frustrated because B&A ain’t makin it easy.
Ok people, i’m letting you know right now, I am off to see The Departed. I will not post for the rest of the night. So enjoy this brief respite from my posts and don’t label every little jackass who should show up tonight as ritzygal.
There’s only one jackass, the BIG jackass: me.
Ta.
Ilovejude;
I guess you’ve missed all of the recent interviews from Toronto to his photocall in L.A. for Babel. The running theme has been how much more gorgeous he is in person. And that he is arguable the biggest movie star in the world.
The Glory days of Jude never were. Only in your mind. And Jude is going to be getting hair plugs soon. He’s in his early 30’s and is already balding. Sucks to be Jude. Sucks to have a handle such as Ilovejude.
141 | CCCC WHAT IS A JOKE??? IT IS OBVIOUS HE LOOKS LIKE **** IN PERSON EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!!!! THE GLORY DAYS OF BRAD ARE GONE…. AND JUDE IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS IN PERSON
177 | Ilovejude
In person Jude has a huge head and a little tiny body. I saw him in toronto. Gorgeous? No!
Brad on the other hand> More beautiful in person.
Yes! Did you want something? Or did you just want to see how my name looked in the little box.
178 | raqchel |
LOL It did look mighty cute. :lol:
170 | OHOHOH!!
Brad and Jen invited Bono to a dinner party so that Bono could speak on what was goning on in Africa. This is when Bono told him and Jen that he could set up at trip for them. Reportly Jen did not want to go. Brad as we know did and as he told Oprah could not forget what he saw.

I dont see how checking in to a hotel is seeking publicity. But, that’s just me.
Are you flirting?
167 | the world | 10/7/06 5:19 PM
You think that we think we’re the center of the universe? we’re not the ones calling ourselves “the world” the United Nations made Angelina a Goodwill embassador, but I guess you know more about it than they do! You arrogant son-of-a-*****! Wars happen! deseases happen! There have been wars and war mongers since the beginning of time. Therefore we can not trust the goverments to fix anything INDIVIDUALS can make a difference, look at South Africa!
Yes! Did you want something? Or did you just want to see how my name looked in the little box.

LOL… my mistake, the right answer is a bit further down.
#188!!!! lolol……………..
183 | no. yea whetever, brad in person looks so ugly….. you are so funny jude ugly what??? the english are the most gorgeous man on the planet
doctors who volunteer to work in poor countries, with no protection of bodyguards, sleeping in sheds instead of bungalows, no clean water or chef to cook for them and receiving zero pennies or support and recognition. They are the people we should call saints. Angie’s heart might be true but enough with the sainthood…..
126 | NY-here |
If it is possible for you to not be very judgemental, you can read Angie’s NOTES FROM MY TRAVELS, then you will know she has lived like these doctors that you talk about. She gives money to help the volunteers and aid workers carry on their work. She brings attention to the work that these agencies do like the donation to the Doctors Without Borders, the workers praise and thank her for the attention she brings to what they do. Do not blame Angie for being famous.
Nobody here as given her a sainthood, but in a culture populated by the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, she is living an extra ordinary life. You are just pissed that we see the goodness in her and are not bashing.
Ritzy- give it up. You are a screwed up mess. You will never get an opportunity to be with Brad Pitt, so stop with the bitching already, it is old and idiotic.
189 | MM |
Well said!
I posted this comment to the Mumbai Mirror article above
The world is watching India through the trip of this super-famous couple.
We hope that India will be a more civilized place for them and their children, and not treat them like circus animals whose only worth is in their photos.
Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, their children, and a large crew, will make India their home for a month, and India will be part of their memories forever.
What impressions can they get from this lovely country, when they are not free to see it? When they are prisoners of the paparazzis?
Where is the Indian police’s restrictions on the media for the protection of their famous guests?
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are a generous couple-much more likely to reward a polite and respectful media with plenty of photos and an interview, than an aggressive, jostling crowd that act with no restraint and no respect for the privacy and enjoyment of India’s visitors.
177 | Ilovejude - You are assuming… that’s your theory and your fact but it is not our fact. Not everyone knows that… I don’t know that and so are many, many others.
157 | Gussie
Oh lord! Now they’re demanding a press conference with B & A? What the hell? I still think they should just release a whole bunch of pictures and maybe go ahead with the Press Conference. Maybe that will calm things down a bit.
The British tabloids are going to have a media frenzy with the BAMZS in India of all places.
192 | Ilovejude|
Have you ever seen Brad in person? why is it every article I read about him says he is even better looking in person. Articles written by people who have actually SEEN THE MAN.
Buzz off. And by the way, the plural of man is men.
Run on now to Jude’s thread before the rest of his hair falls out.
200 | Jude Law’s Yellow Teeth
You go girlfriend!
Well, if the Indian media are demanding anything, which I doubt, then they should be informed that they are a DEMOCRACY and they can’t force anything upon people. The British tabloids are making that up.
They don’t have to nor do they seek publicity, right now the Jolie-Pitts are the hottest couple on earth, hottest in all ways. Everyone wants the big money pix of them. They have learned to deal with it, they will take whatever action they need to. That’s why they went to Namibia to have Shiloh. Matt Damon said they were a normal family who have to live behind a wall, and that’s just the way it is for them. If they need to they will move to a gated house like they live in in LA. They will get the same treatment any place on the earth with TV, or movies, or computers, or movies, or newspapers, or electricity.
I want Angelina to watch Ray’s trilogy’
Priyanka Dasgupta
[ 7 Oct, 2006 2049hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]
Actor Irrfan Khan speaks to us about working with Angelina Jolie in A Mighty Heart, a film based on the murder of Daniel Pearl by Al Qaeda terrorists.
So, you’ve finally managed to get Angelina to come to India!
I don’t think I ought to take this credit. Angelina’s portions were, in any case, supposed to be shot in India and all my scenes are with her.
What do you find attractive about Angelina?
I’ll be lying if I say that I don’t find her attractive. Angelina has an ethereal quality about her… she is both sensuous and pious.
What about Brad Pitt?
There are few actors who are both handsome and have the talent to act. I find Brad Pitt and George Clooney to be in that category.
If you were given the responsibility of introducing India to Angelina, what would you do?
I would first want her to watch Satyajit Ray’s films. I want her to watch the trilogy and Kanchenjunga. That apart, I would want her to see the mountains. A visit to the Taj too.
How were you chosen for the role?
They saw my photos and Warrior, I met the film’s director Michael Winterbottom. Brad Pitt also saw my films.
168 | kiki
They should get out of India and find somewhere in The US to film the movie. How are they going to film this movie with so much chaos goind on around them?
195 | Anna |
You got that right, B&A are very graceous and patient when arrangement s have been made for a photo op. the problem is that ratzies can’t make money from pix everyone else has. They’re kind of like bounty hunters.
191 | Anna |
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
India already looks foolish. The people who are supposed to be quiet are talking to the press left and right.
They’ll pull the production from Pune and India will be the big loser. India film aka Bollywood wants to make it in Hollywood but they look like school children here and unable to handle anything.
186
Gussie
My bad I didnt see your post. I thaught you where Mark Foley or somebody. I was about to give you a no chatting with pages lecture.
203|MM
ITA. They are bounty hunters.
I thinks it is not as bad as being potrayed or Brad and Angelina would not have been on that ricshaw(sp) . Brad has had to deal with pap and fans while filming in other countries. They just need to move out of the hotel and get more space between Brad and Angei and the paps. I sure they will be handle this.
The way India is, you cannot avoid the papz or the people. It is an overpopulated country with over 1 billion people in a country that is probably smaller than the american state of Texas. So everywhere they go, there will be people. Unless they go to some other parts of India, away from the metropolitan area.
Let’s get the ball rolling…how about posting some comments to the Mumbai Mirror-they are posted right away:

thanks jj for the pics brad looks great and angie looks beautiful
208 | India
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It has nothing to do with the people or avoiding the people which Brad and Angelina NEVER do. It’s about the insanity and frezy of the press there and the constant reporting of information on them down to the numbers of their hotel suites. That is NOT cool. They were guaranteed privacy, secuirty and some freedom of movement by the Indian Production company. That Indian production company has biffed it big time. If they don’t get it together they will pull out from India and India will have to absorb the costs.
It’s a black eye on India right now. They’re showing they’re unprofessional and cannot handle a big time production there

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“
It’s more about a few yards of space between B/A and the paps/people than it is about avoiding the people.
There is no difference between B/A and a foreign politician’s visit to India-they should be afforded the same protection and rules by the Indian police. In fact India is getting a hell of a lot more exposure word-wide with B/A, than with any politician’s visit.
India should want to handle this intelligently-foreigners should not be made to think that it’s best not to do business in India.

Wow! You are boring!!
I get it world, you put an ism at the end of a word and all of a sudden it becomes a new word.
Here’s one for you. You’re a fucktard. That’s a fuckism.
I don’t think it is fair to blame Pune for a bunch of UK paps coming in and acting up. Also IMO Mickey overreacted. (Brad, Angie and the kids were not in danger)
214 | Anna
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Very True Anna. Paramount will have a back up plan for this very thing happening and they will go if India cannot get their arms around this.
The local Pune media has demanded Brad and Angelina give them a press conference to divulge their shooting schedule. Just the fact that they’ve gone and said this shows you how amateurish they are.
Awww, Jill next time you take your bitter pill, take it with a shot of something.
It won’t go down as hard. And stick in your craw.
Though I admit, I love that it does.
Ant, are they really being like that? Or is that just all tabloids talking. Do you really know what India is like? Because from the way you’re describing it to me, whether they’re celebrities or not, it doesn’t sound like it. Michael Jackson was there for some time many years ago as well as a few other celebs and politicians. Imagine their stays. They may have also had papz outside their hotel. Micahel Jackson actually went out on the streets with the people, with his mask on everything (lol). i think Brangelina is accepting of the way things are in India and you cannot control every area of the world. I don’t think that reporting what they’re eating is a big deal. The Indians probably wanted to express that Brangelina eats like everyone else there. And as far as the room numbers go, I think Le Meridien, which is not Indian owned, would fire those people if they mentioned their room numbers. I didnt read anything about what the actual room numbers were, were there? Besides, most of this is tabloid crap. People are just quick to criticize and prejudge and the tabloids are feeding on that including the indian tabloids.
Each country is different. I am sure brangelina are understanding to that and are handling it well.
Why is anyone posting the links to an Aniston story in the Jolie thread? See, you guys are as ******* obsessed with Aniston as you are with Jolie. First few posts and Cyanide is posting links to Aniston stories in Us magazine so you immature BAMZ fans can discuss Aniston and Vaughn. PATHETIC!
221 | India
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
No need to tell me about India. I spent three weeks there two years ago when a co-worker got married.
You’re missing the whole point. It is the actions of the staff working at the hotel that are causing the problem. They are speaking to the press. How do you think the media printed 1. what they ate for dinner 2. what their suit numbers are 3. Who is traveling with them. 4. License plate numbers of vehicles being used, etc, etc…
No one is talking about controlling anything, least of all them. It’s about controling the crowds and respecting the confidentiality agreements that have been signed. It’s the India press releasing this stuff not the foreign press.
India looks very bad here
The room numbers were printed in the press from India. 5th floor 519-526
223 | anon - That’s funny - you are here and what are you doing here? Yea, I guess it is “do as I say, don’t do as I do” syndrome. Actually, it just interestiing to see how she contradicts herself.
I don’t think it is fair to blame Pune for a bunch of UK paps coming in and acting up. Also IMO Mickey overreacted. (Brad, Angie and the kids were not in danger)
217 | alero
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pune police can go a long way in ensuring that people who come to do business there are not mobbed, and are free to do a little sightseeing, ALMOST like any other visitor.
Photos of security personell make their job less effective and puts those they protect in danger, so they are a no-no.
217 | alero |
I dont know if Mickey over reacted or not cause I wasnt there. I don’t think it was right for the paps to be taking pictures of Brad and Angie’s security men. Why would the paps be doing that? I think it is important that these men be unknown. and I cant blame mickey for getting a bit physical when they refused to stop taking these pics.
Again, we’re talking about a movie production/business. That’s the subject. India is desperate to break into the Hollywood market and will not be able to if it continues like this. This is a HUGE high profile movie being made there. If they can’t handle it they will continue to have half a room of reporters show up for them like they did at the Toronoto film festivale
Again, you’re missing the point. It’s not about control it’s about discretion. You think that Brad and Angelina don’t care that their room numbers and hotel was put in the paper along with the license plates of the vehicles they’re using?
this hype is bad. the children end like Michael Jackson with phsychischen problems
228 | massimo80|
LOL what was that?? what kind of problems?
227 | Anna
***
They have not started filming yet so there is no information that business is not getting done. About sightseeing, well there is a cost to fame. However Brad and Angie have always found a way to relax in what ever country they are in and I am sure they will in India. It is just day what 3 or 4 things hopefully will calm down.
world, take a deep breath.
I keep pushing your buttons and I’m enjoying it.
Now, don’t let your head explode. Or do. It might be an improvement over the one you’ve got now.
Breath. Deep breaths.
it’s about discretion. You think that Brad and Angelina don’t care that their room numbers and hotel was put in the paper along with the license plates of the vehicles they’re using?
233 | Ant
Well that I agree with.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I truly envy your optimism about things calming down! :)
They’re not going to calm down though-remember Namibia? the paparazzis never left.
Let’s pit it this way: If i were a high-profile person and wa considering a get-away vacation, I’d take all these things into persepctive, and -even though I’d long to see the treasure-trove of sights in India-I’d choose Namibia instead.
Again, you’re missing the point. It’s not about control it’s about discretion. You think that Brad and Angelina don’t care that their room numbers and hotel was put in the paper along with the license plates of the vehicles they’re using?
———————————————–
I agree, it’s not about the people, it’s about the information that is leaking.
Any normal person on the street who sees their car can give out their license plate number. Any servants working in the hotel can give out the room numbers. But I didnt read about any room numbers.
238 | India |
————————————————-
Brick wall here. Of course anyone could give that information out. The POINT is, the media is printing it in their papers. You haven’t seen anything like that reported? Honey, do a search it’s all over the place
X17 has the complete series of Mickey and the paparazzi. On the comments someone posted this:
These people have had lunatics posing as National Security agents trying to get jobs with them and in Pakistan they arrested two men pretending to be policemen to get near them. In Namibia you had another nutjob paparazzi pose as a doctor to try and get into the maternity ward and was arrested twice. Once on the hospital’s freak’n roof. Let alone that dumb **** UK tabloid reporter who had sex with a doctor in order to get into the hospital after Shiloh was born. Of course the dumb broad had the wrong hospital. Then you have paparazzi trespassing on their property and looking through their living room windows and one being arrested at Maddox’s school.
I never heard most of incidents before, are those true?

(yes, i can use this damn thing)
lets chat a bit, okay?
how are you, people? what makes you tick?
ang
I’m not trying to start rumors, but I think Angelina is pregnant again. Just a guess.

ITAWU
You don’t have to bash Jude Law just to stick up for Brad. You are lying to yourself if you say jude is ugly.. bald or not he is beautiful!
Anyone who says Jude Law is ugly does not know what ugly is. He is gorgeous, in a different way than Brad is gorgeous, but stll very beautiful, and an extremely talented actor. His re-make of “Alfie” is WONDERFUL.
Stage set for ‘Mighty’ shoot
PUNE: The stage is now set for the filming of ‘A Mighty Heart’, starring Angelina Jolie, with the arrival of Dan Futterman, the actor who plays Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
The prominent crew members, who have arrived in Pune, include producer Andrew Eaton and sound mixer Richard Flynn. Director Michael Winterbottom is expected to be there for the shooting.
Based on the life of slain journalist Daniel Pearl, the film brings together a British and American production team. As Jolie and Brad Pitt stayed put at their hotel room in Le Meridien on Saturday evening, Futterman and Mumbai-based producers and socialites Kailash and Arti Surendranath came to visit them around 8.30 pm.
Unlike the high security that Brangelina have been subjected to, Futterman was visible as shutterbugs went berserk around him.
He asked one of the hotel staff about where he was supposed to go, expecting that he would be guided immediately. The staffer, not recognising Futterman, said, “Where do you want to go?”, to which Futterman replied, “I don’t know where I am supposed to go. I have come to meet Angelina.”
Director: Michael Winterbottom The British director is known to be a diverse and prolific filmmaker. Beginning his career in TV, he then switched to making films and has made around 14 feature films in the past 10 years.
The subjects that his films are based on range from a lesbian serial killer (’Butterfly Kiss’, 1995) to a story of three sisters and their extended family (’Wonderland’, 1999). His movie based on a harrowing journey of two Afghan refugees (’In This World’, 2002) earned him numerous awards, including a Golden Bear and a BAFTA for best film, not in the English language.
While ‘A Mighty Heart’ is based on American journalist Daniel Pearl, Winterbottom’s 1997 film ‘Welcome to Sarajevo’, though essentially a war film, was also based on the true story of a television reporter in Sarajevo who smuggles a young girl out of the war-ridden Bosnia and Herzegovina to safety in Britain.
Producers: Andrew Eaton and Brad Pitt British producer Andrew Eaton of Revolution Films has teamed up with director and co-founder of the company, Michael Winterbottom, on several films.
Eaton was nominated for the best British producer award by the London Film Critics Association in 2005 for the film ‘Tristram Shandy: A **** and Bull Sto
conti…
A **** and Bull Story’.Hollywood star Brad Pitt founded Plan B production company with Brad Grey and his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.
The Academy-award nominated American actor’s popular films include ‘Interview With the Vampire’, ‘Twelve Monkeys’, ‘Fight Club’, ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ and ‘Troy’.
Sound mixer: Richard Flynn
Richard Flynn, sound mixer for ‘A Mighty Heart’, has won the Sound Post Contribution to a Soundtrack award for ‘In My Father’s Den’ 2005 at the New Zealand Screen Awards.
Other films that he has worked on as a sound mixer include ‘Beyond Bedlam’, ‘Doctor Sleep’, ‘River Queen’ and ‘In Her Line Of Fire’.
Production Companies: ‘A Mighty Heart’ brings together British and American film production companies, Revolution Films and Plan B. The British Revolution Films is a lean but reputed outfit. Plan B, the US production company involved in the film, was established in 2002 by Brad Grey, Pitt and Aniston.

India is such a beautiful and diverse country. It is a democracy, with proper institutions and a strong movie industry. There is no need to freak out, Angie is going to shoot there for a month. I only think the family should move to a gated property as the hotel is under siege, there seems to be no outside police security and information is being leaked like the proverbial sieve.
249 | Leave Jude alone | Well sweetie you are the one that brought it up not ME ….. I just stated the facts that you can not compare Bred to Jude. To me Jude is a fine looking guy not handsome but OK, that is my opinion, like I said you brought it up so this is my opinion in response to your post. If you don’t want a response back don’t post it :lol:
I don’t get it, #149 says you don’t have to bash Jude Law just to stick of for brad but it’s okay to bash Brad for Jude law, why?
It is also the same reasoning when they say don’t put Jen down just because you’re sticking up for Angie BUT it is okay to bash Angie?
well, guess not then….
take care anyways!
bye.
angie
Hi everyone! I’m so tired from walking.. um am I even on the ‘correct one’?
Jude is gorgeous you are all jealous of his beauty!
well guess not what?
who is angie j?
I don’t think that the paparazzis will live them alone any time soon.But I’m sure that Brad and Angie knew exactly what kind of frenzy they were going to face as soon as they arrived.They always managed to handle the situation and I’m positive that they will find the way in this case too. I won’t take everything I read so seriously about how they represent the comditions there.You know how the Press is sometimes.Maybe they want to make it something more that it really is but I can’t be sure.I hope they will move to that bangalow eventualy. Angie needs to consentrate to the role and give her best and Brad has to take care of everything as he is the producer along with watching the kids while Angie is filming.Personaly I won’t mind if we don’t get to see more pictures this month at all.I’m sure they will find a way to balance everything.They always had. ;)
Leave Jude Alone;
No, you leave us alone. I’m not a man so why the hell would I want to look like a man. Not just any man. A man that while married to Sienna Law, practiced the swinger lifestyle and then got poking his nanny. Not just by anyone, his little boy.
I can see why they would be a lot to be jealous of. Not. Hope Jude gets tested every month. He’s a bit skeevy.
I’m sure they’re fine.

Those incidents are all true with the paps and tabloids.
Finally, cops get a side role in Brangelina starrer
Prasannakumar Keskar
Pune, October 7: BRAD Pitt, Angelina Jolie and the foreign crew of the film unit may have not thought it necessary either to inform the police or ask for security, but the Indian crew members are of a different view. On Saturday, some of the Indian crew members approached the police and discussed the possibility of getting security at the locations.
Deputy commissioner of police (Special Branch) R S Khaire said some of the members had a discussion with him on Saturday morning. However, he said they did not seek police protection for the celebrity couple. ‘‘The crew members asked for police security at the locations of the shooting, but did not specify the locations. We have asked them give us a letter seeking police protection,’’ Khaire said.
Brad and Angelina are in Pune for filming A Mighty Heart, based on the book by Mariane Pearl, wife of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl.
Earlier, the intelligence agencies after coming to know of the star couple’s arrival, close on the heels of the Mumbai blasts, were trying to get hold of information about their schedule. With a Pakistani environ being created in Pune and the couple’s celebrity value, it has been a major cause for concern for the police.
Meanwhile, assistant commissioner of police and head of Foreigners’ Registration Office (FRO) Suresh Bhoomkar said Le Meridien Hotel — where Brad, Angelina and their three children are staying — have intimated the FRO about their arrival.On Friday, Pune Newsline carried a report on how the police teams had gone to various hotels in the city seeking information about them and the hotel had not submitted the mandatory ‘C Form’ that is to be sent to the FRO within 24 hours of any foreigner’s arrival.
Bhoomkar said though they submitted the form, it was incomplete. ‘‘The hotel has not provided mandatory information about the check-in time of the couple and their entourage and their visa details,’’ he said.
The couple landed in the city at 2.45 pm on October 5 in a private jet owned by the Raymond group and were directly whisked away to the hotel.
Section 14 of the Foreigners’ Act prescribes punishment for a term of up to five years and fine to people failing to provide the information.Bhoomkar said the FRO had sought all the details from the hotel and a decision to take action against them for the delay in submitting the form will be taken only after they provide the entire details.He added that the law does not prescribe any action or punishment for failure to submit complete information.
oh! you noticed me, lil
i almost left this site….
how are you?
lil, check this out:
18° 34\’N 73° 58\’E
i’m good…. that’s very nice… what are the coordinates of?
Pune also known as Poona
266 | angie j. |
Is that going to be yourt next tatto? lol
First it’s necessary to separate the tabliod media in India from the real one. I have to say I’m very critical of the Indian media in genral. Everything is turned into infotainment and they don’t bother to separate fact from fiction. Like Brad said, this says a lot about our culture. But let’s not forget that this trend is happening in the U.S. too.
And let’s be honest in saying that the paparazzi in U.S. is also crazy (Britney almost dropping SPF incident, Lindsey Lohan’s car crash). So this is not an exclusive trait of the Indian media.
And also, we regularly have tabliod magazines here print what Hollywood stars eat, drink, where they live, where they vacation, what make up they use, what kind of underwear they wear, what kind of tanning cream they use, and all sorts of personal details.
The tabliod media in America and around the world is as intrusive as the tabliod part of the Indian media.
With all that being said, I am disappointed in how the media and some of the people in Pune are handling the situation. It could better handled and it should be better handled. I do think Mickey is bit tempermental but he is doing his job.
I also think that the Foreign media is also acting too ballsy and need to be put in their places. They provoke some of the local media to get testy and demanding too.
Brad and Angie seem to be handling this with patience (like always) but I do think if they move into that bungalow and make a appearance at some event or two, things will calm down. I know they are there to work but I think this would help calm down the craziness that is going on.
Hope they move into that bungalow soon because that place seems to have more space for them to walk around openly without getting pictures taken of them and then the information that is leaking would decrease.

thanks for the articles. I like what Irrfan Khan said. His movie, the Warrior was great and nice to know that Brad and Angelina watched that one. This guy deserves success. He stays out of Bollywood lifestyle and parties and just does his own thing and he is great actor to boot. And yup Satyajit Ray’s films are Classics. =)
Nice… how did you find the coordinates of Poona?
because thats where i am right now
like i said they woke me up incredibly early and im surfing around the internet
what about you
270 | stardust |
ITA!Great post! Very well said! :)
will you STFU about Jude Law, why are you even on this thread to talk about Jude Law? Wouldn’t it just make more sense to go to a JL link? we’re not here for him we will never agree with you.
I find it annoying enough that fanistons come on here, but hey at least there was a connection at one time. But Jude Law?Here? BTW these are rhetorical questions don’t feel the need to answer
Any problems personally with you in Poona or you doing good?
my next tattoo? well see that ;)
no brob at all
I thought it was cyanide.
Hey angie! Priyanka here (thought i’d join along, wink wink) … Are you going to adopt or have a baby? Cause if you adopt, I think it should be from Kerala.
Hey! angie j. how does Brad look naked these days? LOL
Geez..where are the regulars…
these posters - angie.j, lil, deena are so HIGH-SCHOOL…
I miss the intellectual and witty posts.
:lol:
In fact, I think you should visit Kerala to chill out. You would have had some peace. By the way, I am using somebody else’s comp and I think i used their email address. Don’t know how this works, but their email address keeps popping up.
and here we going again….
lil are you still here??
this is my first time here… yup, i’m here.
276 | MM
There is a connection… kinda. Jude Law was the best man at Angelina’s first wedding.
284 | priyanka |
I’m sure they would have had a good time in Kerala but they are their to work, not just chill out. Pune resembled Karachi and that’s why they have to stay there. It’s not a matter of choice on their part. If they were in India to relax and vacation, I’m sure they would be traveling all over the country, but they are their to work.
lil, why are you talking to yourself? so stoooopid
i SWEAR to God! I’m talking to another person named angie j.!!! I swear it! I knew someone would say that!
i don’t think i’ll never catch up. Where are you all? am i on the correct one?? *so lost with these recent threads*
bbl
lil relax im still here just got a call from us…..
angelah, how are you?
283 | kearnie | Hi ya lady, what is going on. I am just sending them an email, they’ll be here soon…
Us has your phone number in Poona?
priyanka thnx for the tip maybe we will…
lil dear of course im in work here remember
Anyway hows mad z shi and b and holly and mickey? How come you guys dont get some dogs? atleast back at home. You can travel with dogs too, ya know. Even to India.
Smaller dogs are easier to take care of. I’m sure Mad would love a dog!
lil baby i prefer tigers, not dogs :)
Hello ladies, just got back from watching THE DEPARTED, it was great. I love seeing Brad’s name as a producer; and I saw a preview of TGS, and all I have to say is WOW, can’t wait to see it
OK guys It is time to have fun and ignore the usual riff raff (dragonfly don’t you dare comment on riff raff)
I do apologize for responding to Jude post , I had just walked in and didn’t realize that was not the current page and responded , didn’t mean to start a hissy fit from you know who, but WHY are we talking about Jude here ??????
what to hell is today ?? chica liberation day ? I am lost ?
guli, how are you do you want to chat with me?

Dont you have some lines to memorize?
Alexanderina, Angelina Jolie (aka angie j.) is here!

Ell– that is funny will stomp them soon. I think it is chica, ritzygal etc. doesn’t matter they are fading away as their idol the X.
303 | angie j. | Sure I’ll chat with you so will all of the BAMZS fans keep on posting, like I said I am the night owel I’ll be up for a long time…
Alex-is it really good, I am going to see it tomorrow I know it is R rated but Rana wants to see it too, do you think that would be OK?
or 309
dont be rude to angelina jolie!
I haven’t read the whole thread but I’ve got to respond to this
stuff about how dangerous India is. I’ve been to India many
times for work. I’ve visited Mumbai, New Delhi, (a few weeks at a
time), spent a day in Jaipur and a day in Agra to see the Taj
Mahal. I felt safer in those cities then I do in New York, San
Francisco, Seattle etc.
Let me tell you straight, I’ve visited and lived in many places in
the world. I’ve been to just about every country in Asia other
then North Korea (funny about that isn’t it?). The only continents
I’ve not visited and spent several weeks of my life in are South
America, Africa and the Antartic.
Of all the places I’ve visited, there are only 2 places I feel truly
unsafe. These are:
(1) Manila (sorry Missouri Fan and others, but the kidnappings
there are something to worry about);
(2) And the US. Why? Because crazy people in the US can be
carrying a gun. I read about the gunning down of 11 innocent
Amish girls in America this week. In the last couple of months in
the US, I read of 2 other killings of a similar nature (you know,
crazy gunman takes gun, shoots a bunch of innocent people who
have not done anything wrong to him). Now, crazy people exist
everywhere. They exist in Europe, they exist in India. And there
are probably as many crazy people in Europe and India (per
100,000 people) as there are in the US. BUT A crazy person in
Europe or India will have a much more difficult time getting
access to guns. So, in the heat of the moment, they might grab
a knife, an axe and believe me, they can do some damage with
those things but I think we can all agree, less damage then
someone with a gun. The teacher in the Amish school might have
tried to over power a knifewielder, given a chance for the children
to run.
Terrorist bombs can go off anywhere but add to that equation,
easily accessible guns, and yes, there is greater danger. Just look
at the comparative statistics of death by firearms. The US
statistics are equal to that of a banana/cocain republic like
Columbia. I’m NOT CRITICISING the American people’s desire to
bear arms. America is a democracy and the people have a right to
choose how they want to live, how it expresses their values. But
does this right to bear arms increase the risk of being shot by a
crazy person – Statistically, the answer is YES.
omg finally i see some familiarity. Hi Guli, ell, and alexanderina! Hey Alex, I am so going to see that movie again next week! Guli and Tijen– I can’t wait to see ‘em pics. >_O
angie…. so… what do you think of jen aniston?
guli I knew we will stomp them!!! Its easy it only one person !!!!
But
does this right to bear arms increase the risk of being shot by a
crazy person – Statistically, the answer is YES.

Dont agree
lil im with you sweetie dont worry
OMG.
lil, Angie J. - would you two please stop your convesation. I know you trolls are trying to annoying but you two are so mind numbingly boring. STFU!

LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!! you made angelina leave! how dare u….
oh ur there

Can you stop the voices talking inside your head moron? It’s getting really stupid you know. Angie (the real one) is f***ing with Brad right now. So don’t be fooled. Someone is playing with your stupidity ..*rolls eyes*
Jolie-Pitt may shift to Pune bungalow
Michael Gonsalves (IANS)
Pune, October 7, 2006
Advertisement
Hollywood first couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who are here to shoot for a film, may shift from a five-star hotel to a private bungalow.
Angelina and Brad, who arrived here on Thursday with their three children, are staying at Hotel Le Meridien where they plan to shoot a film - “The Mighty Heart” - on slain American Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
Two more bungalows were booked at the Sindh Society colony at Aundh, an upmarket area in the western part of the city, for the couple, sources said.
Hectic renovation work is underway at bungalow no. 132, Bhallahs Kutir, and bungalow 109, which is without a nameplate and owned by a Mumbai-based businessman, they added.
The compound walls of bungalow 109, which has a sprawling front-yard with black iron gates, have been increased to 10 feet.
The two houses are close to bungalow 223, Nayansukha, a private house to be used as Pearl’s residence and office in the film. Security has been beefed up at this house round the clock. Angelina, who is set to play the role of Pearl’s widow Marianne, will be staying here during the filming.
Outside the house are parked two Hyundai taxis freshly painted in yellow, bearing the numbers PH 3305 and PL 2077 with ‘KARACHI’ written below the number plate.
Foreign and Indian production teams will be staying in bungalows in the Sindh Society colony where more than a dozen palatial houses belonging to businessmen and high-profile lawyers lie unoccupied.
Sources also said the colony and the Nayansukha bungalow were selected for their resemblance to Pearl’s Karachi home.
It is believed that Angelina will shift to Abb’s Palace, a 30,000-sq-ft residential bungalow owned by real estate biggie Avinash Bhosale in Baner located not far away from the Sindh Society.
The bungalow, spread over 12 acres of lush green land with a clubhouse, helipad and hangar, is also one of the locales for the big budget film.
The posh palatial farmhouse of industrialist Cyrus Poonawalla, located in the eastern part of the city, is also being considered for the star couple.
According to hotel sources, Angelina, Brad and their three children - Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh - tasted Indian food for lunch on Saturday.
“They ordered chicken biryani, steamed rice, tandoori chicken, dal tadka, mutton rogan josh and bread. They seemed to have liked the food.”
The hotel staff also said the couple were cool, normal and warm people.
The family is tipped to visit the Katraj snake park Sunday along with the children’s nanny.
“I have no idea (about such a visit). I am hearing it from you,” Neelam Kumar Khaire, the director of the Katraj snake park, said.
Located about eight kilometres from the Le Meridien, the snake park, set up in 1986, has more than 160 species of rare reptiles.
think positive! once i again i SWEAR TO GOD, angie j is not ME! You never know if thats really angelina or not! so let me be…
just got back from The Departed. AWESOME flick! braddy done good with the producing. nicholson was mesmerizing. and leo. leo made a fan of me tonight. he looked like a MAN. something i’ve never thought of him as. and matt damon {{swoon}} even as a lying *******, he had me in love.
so, those of you who haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth the $8 and the overpriced popcorn with imitation butter. but don’t touch those shriveled up hot dogs!

324 | COLD HARD MATH |
The hotel staff people are idiots. Can they learn to shut their mouths up?!! They need to stop leaking every freaking detail. It’s nice that they tried Indian food and liked it but they need to do their jobs and protect the guests at their hotel. I’m not saying this some arrogant person. I’m an Indian and I understand that all these people are excited about their visit but DAMN! The hotel staff needs to learn the meaning of discretion. The family and the movie crew is trying to be discreet and they would be if these people learn to shut their mouths! I’m truly PO’ed about this.
did anyone read the 2nd part of Brad’s interview that was posted in the last thread, because his we’s and our’s that he says in that article says everything. It was in a word lovely.
“when things would calm down and i could speak more freely and it wouldn’t be abused, cant wait for this one.evening all!

Are out of you mind sweety? Do you think that celebrities are bothering to read and let alone post on a celebrity blog? To you think that Brad and Angie with the amount of work they have to do and three children to raise have the time or the interest to waste their time on celebrity websides?These people are having bodygards to protect them and you are telling me that now they are chatting with complete strangers? The same goes to the other people you mentioned.I don’t know why the hell I’m trying to put some common sense in you tiny brain but at least I tried.I’m a humanitarian after all.LOL
There’s only one person that I can think of serffing on the internent because of desperation of what is the public’s perseption about her.Let your imagination free.
um, just curious, are any of you celebrities or close to celebrities……?

Sure. I’m Katie Holmes but you can call me Kate.
well, i just got through scanning this thread. mostly **** and flies all afternoon. that’s a damn shame. ladies, let’s clean up this place and get down to serious BAMZS business, please.
i read the second part of brad’s interview–enchanting. lemme just say i’m still on “the train” (you know what i mean) now that the translation is much clearer. anyway, aside from my psychosis, i loved everything he had to say. i can imagine him sitting forward in his seat, really animated and happy. nice image.
hey, guli, do you still have those pics from the interview you posted yesterday?
340 | Rinil |
I know they didn’t mean any harm but the staff seems to constantly talk to the media and the media keeps eating up all the details. It’s just annoying as hell that they can’t even eat a meal without it becoming it being written in the media. . It’s not about Brad and Angelina. It’s about them doing their jobs the right way.

Exactly! The keyword here is “Unproffesional”. The staff is being exactly that. It goes beyond the whole craze over Brad and Angelina.
You are all jealous of me. My beauty is overwhelming at times.
wow!!! i can’t keep up with all the threads…too many to read…Jared - you’re spoiling us too much, but i’m not complaining :)
I know that after this interview with Brad , x fans going crazy , ( he just demolished all there dreams that he go back to X ), but its fan watching them going crazy !!! haha

Enough already with Brad and Angie. Fine, they are the two best looking people hooking up. Brad has done a 180 and suddenly became a different person at 40 and Angie is a saint.
Admittedly she is doing good work but please, there are people out there with very small income who selflessly offer foster care to hundreds of kids every year - without the need to publicize it - doctors who volunteer to work in poor countries, with no protection of bodyguards, sleeping in sheds instead of bungalows, no clean water or chef to cook for them and receiving zero pennies or support and recognition. They are the people we should call saints. Angie’s heart might be true but enough with the sainthood…..
—————-
Right and Brad Pitt and she just gave 1 millin dollars to those doctors - so shut the **** up, the only people tossing the word ’saint’ around, are those usually trying to belittle what Angie and Brad do. We’re fans of them as actors and good people w/ big hearts and big pockets - enough said. My ass isn’t even Catholic, so that’s not even a word that readily drops from these lips.
373 | Gussie |
Hey George. So what do you REALLY think about Colin Firth and Leo D? Don’t worry African Girl isn’t around so we won’t tell.
369 was the character of the boring actress Gwen?
Kristen Dalton …. Gwen
370 | ell | - Hey ell, is that when it comes out over there? It will be worth the wait, you are going to love it
I thought you people were very rude to Angelina. I am pretty sure that was Angelina. Or maybe it was Brad, playing around. who knows! You never know. Anyway, who’s to say they’re not aware of this blog and don’t take a second or two to read it.
I just want to add one more thing to my post:
I admire so much, the goodness of the Amish community who
have forgiven the killer, Roberts and reached out to his family. For
me, its not that they live as if they hadn’t left the 18th century
that makes them special but this great act of forgiveness and
kindness and nonjudgementality.
ell, i just love pesting the x fans.they just cant stop dreaming of brad going back to the x,its so stupid!by the way (i love the caption their in the main page that says (WHY BRAD DUMP JEN!)

Great about The Departed and The Good Shepard. So many
quality movies this season. Finally the arena is back to where it
belongs, to the REAL movie makers and REAL movie stars. The
limelight has been hijacked by some undeserving ex-sitcomers
and B-listers for too long.

she was so boring that i don’t remember her character’s name. she was the psychiatrist and every time she popped up my brain went on snooze.

However, by the time we contacted him, the photographer had been briefed not to talk. “My agent has told me not to talk about this incident to anyone any more,” he said. “The incident has turned ugly enough. And now I’ve been told that my job will be on the line is I say anything else.”

ROTFLMAO. Too freaking funny. I’m still wondering why this moron was taking Mickey’s picture anyway. What did he hope to accomplish other than making Mickey mad enough to grab him? Any razzi on the B/A trail know about Mickey and his short temper, so why try to take his picture? That’s just begging to be *****-slapped. I wonder if the razzo’s agency told him the same thing and that’s the reason his job is on the line! The moron.
Jolie says disappointed not filming in Pakistan

LOS ANGELES - Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt are disappointed they are not shooting “A Mighty Heart,” a film about U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, in Pakistan where he was abducted and murdered in 2002.
Security concerns there caused officials to suggest they work elsewhere. So with the exception of a few background scenes shot in Pakistan, “A Mighty Heart” will be made in the western Indian city of Pune.
The Oscar-winning actress plays the slain reporter’s wife, Mariane. Pitt, Jolie’s partner, is the movie’s producer.
“I am disappointed that we could not shoot the film in Pakistan, a country that I love and have visited three times,” said Jolie in a statement issued on Saturday by Trevor Neilson, an adviser to the couple.
“They talked with people from all levels of the Pakistan government and there’s certainly no hard feelings. But it became clear that it was preferable to film in India,” Neilson told Reuters by telephone.
He said there was no release date set for “A Mighty Heart,” which is being made by Pitt’s production company, Los Angeles-based Plan B.
The film is based on a book by Mariane Pearl, “A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl.”
Pearl, a 38-year-old reporter with The Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped in Karachi in early 2002 while researching a story in the aftermath of September 11. A videotape of Pearl having his throat cut was later circulated by his killers.
English filmmaker Michael Winterbottom, famed for such war-based films as “Welcome to Sarajevo” and “The Road to Guantanamo,” is directing the movie.
In her statement, Jolie said “A Mighty Heart” is about “cross-cultural understanding and the values that people of all faiths share. This is not a film about terrorism or conflict, it is a story of people of all faiths working together to find the truth.”
Pune, a metropolitan area with more than 4 million people, is in Maharashtra state, about 80 miles southeast of Mumbai.

I chuckled when I read that the paps DEMANDED they have a press conference. That’s BALLS! From their perspective, I guess it couldn’t hurt to ask. I mean, you never know. And if they all banded together and started putting bad press out there about them, B&A could feel pressure to do just that, especially with the WONDERFUL press Mickey has been generating for them. Actually, it’s kind of funny. The paps are really frustrated because B&A ain’t makin it easy.
Ok people, i’m letting you know right now, I am off to see The Departed. I will not post for the rest of the night. So enjoy this brief respite from my posts and don’t label every little jackass who should show up tonight as ritzygal.
There’s only one jackass, the BIG jackass: me.
Ta.

i’d never seen one film with leo dicaprio until today. gotta say i was impressed. he even had me rooting for him against my beloved matt (who was just so sexy as a *******). but, i’m not going to try to watch titanic or gangs of new york or any of his other stuff. i’ll just be more open-minded the next time i see him headlining a film.

I agree. The Amish community and epecially the family members of those girls have handled this tragedy with so much dignity and they have huge hearts to be forgiving as they have been. I can’t believe the number of shootings that have occurred over the past few weeks. It’s scary to think how easily stranger can enter a school without ever being questioned and start killing kids.
Anyway, who’s to say they’re not aware of this blog and don’t take a second or two to read it.

I am! LOL!
Oh I forgot I am Tom Cruise. Hey lil will please transport my greetings to Angie and Brad if you get a chance to speak to them again? I’ve send a lot of toys to them for the kids. I will call a press conference about it in a couple of days. You know what a publicity ***** I am. Anyway thanks.
Ohhhh I’m coming Kate. Sheesh this woman and her hormones! ;)
Ritzy- give it up. You are a screwed up mess. You will never get an opportunity to be with Brad Pitt, so stop with the bitching already, it is old and idiotic.

I just love Jack. N and I would watch a cartoon with him . he is one brilliant actor .
think positive! that’s not funny….
382 | Be sane | - Hi Be Sane, I agree, there are so many good guality movies coming out now, that I can’t wait to see them all. I saw a preview of Blood Diamond with Leo Dicarpio and Djimon Hounsou (I love this man) and this movie is going to be great, Djimon is fantastic in it and so is Leo, can’t wait to see it
391 | org Ruth
they could have cut out her story arc entirely and had a much tighter film (shorter, too). they even left the part of leo’s character passing her that envelope hanging. so essentially she was just skinny tail crowding up the canvas.
geez, when did roger ebert take over my body? eeewww!
396 | ell | - I love him too, he was cracking me up in this movie, he is so damn funny
Oh f**k the Mets and the Dodgers are all tied up, damn

Oh come on why not? Actually I find it hillarious but to each his own I guess.Anyway I’m DONE!
Guys I’ll catch with you tomorrow! Heading to bed!
Too bad I have to wait some months to see the DEPARTED. :( But from what I’m hearing from you it will certainly worth the wait. :)
Good night ladies!
why don’t you chicks-that talk to certain bloggers go back to your yahoo group and talk amongst each other ,you are only communicating with a few anyway.
392 | gitane | - I have to admit as well that I was rooting for him against Matt, who I simply adore. Matt was definitely sexy as a bad guy :).
380 | lylian | - you said a mouthful lady! Every time I think of the anguish and heartbreak they must be going through, I get misty eyed. And they want to give money to the killer’s family! THAT folks is what being “religious” is supposed to be about. The bible camp people could take some lessons from these folks.
I must say, it seems to have been an interesting day here at Camp JJ. Thank you for the part 2 of the interview. That was AWESOME! There seem to be some people confused as to who they are. *sigh* as always, we BAMZSers must function as psychiatrists for the less fortunate.
And….WTF is up with the Jude Law crap? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of his movies [or he just didn't impress me], but on looks alone….a 4.
Busy weekend here, hope you are all well. Ivy? How’s Caleb?

thank you all regulars for stopping by otherwise this board is starting to look very high school with the talks of Angelina stopping by and a certain few newbies carrying on as though we are on the same level as them.
geezz…
there are things that we jj.com BAMZS fans have come to expect from the joli-pitt but posting way on a blog…nanana…
they have better things to do and rightful.
so aint gonna fall that high-school drabble.

Thanks Ladies for your reviews on THE DEPARTED. Sounds like a winner! I wonder how much money it will make this weekend. Brad is making money, while he sleeps!
Alex, OH ****! 5-5!
Guys, I have to go watch the Mets game, BBL
Bad typo. DODGERS 5-4………
404 | Whaddaya think?????
That would suck if it was her, cause I totally ignored her. I doubt it was though. I mean, lets be real here. She has more important things to do with her time.
matt is sexy any time. good, bad, dorky. i can’t wait for TGS. yeah, angie’s in it, but i’m all about matt. i hope the next bourne movie isn’t crap, but i’ll pay to see it anyway.
409 | Gussie
thanks. i’d never seen her in anything before. and i probably won’t remember her if i see her again.
is also getting very proficient in co-producing films that are being buzzed about as contenders in the coming awards season: “The Departed,” which has critics raving and beating each other for the most number of superlatives they can heap on Martin Scorsese’s finest film in many years; and “Running With Scissors,” the adaptation of Augusten Burroughs’ bestselling memoir with Annette Bening reportedly excellent as a would-be poet and mother.
—————————————–
That’s so true. Geez Brad has a lot of Oscar contenders on his hands. The Departed, Running With Scissors, God Grew tired of Us, and of course Babel. Brad has the potential to become one of the most well known and succesful producers of all time.
