Brad & Angie’s Rowdy Rickshaw Ride
Here is the latest installment of pictures featuring Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and 5-year-old son Maddox getting mobbed yesterday when they ventured out of Le Meridien Hotel. The threesome was hounded by pesky photographers as they took a rickshaw ride through Pune, India. Looks like Brad got a little inner thigh action… Hubba, hubba!
Inset: Angelina instructs the rickshaw driver where to pedal. Check out more pictures in the gallery…

DIE-HARD FANS TURN BODYGUARDS
By: Prachi Bari
October 9, 2006
————————————————————
Two Pune youngsters thought it was their personal duty to help Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Die-hard fans Jalaj Pawah and Rupin Verma followed the actors on their 15-minute autorickshaw ride yesterday evening and tried to stop people from touching Jolie.
“They are our guests. We didn’t like the way the media was chasing them and also the way people were trying to grope them. We drove along side them to shield them. We did what any diehard fan would do,” said Verma, a first year student at Symbiosis College.
Said Pawah, “We were waiting near the exit gate of Le Meridien for almost an hour when we saw an autorickshaw come out with six security guards on each side at 6 pm. We followed them through out their journey.”
Smiles for media
Pitt and Jolie went for an autorickshaw ride for the second time yesterday. This time, their son Maddox was with them.
They did try to evade the press, but this time most of the media managed to follow them. At the signal near Pune railway station, passers-by realised that the actors were inside the autorickshaw and waved vigorously.
Near Sadhu Vaswani chowk, Pitt looked out of the vehicle and smiled at the media. Here, the bodyguards caught up with the autorickshaw and barred everyone from taking pictures.
Pitt also shook hands with those who were riding close to the rickshaw. Maddox looked a little petrified, but seemed to enjoy the 15-minute ride.

THANKS 4 Jared & Audrey, you are the best !!
yeaaah i’ post in top 10 user hahaaha
I love BAMZS, can’t wait for the others picture…for news of BAMZS, i’m always open this site everyday
LOVE this family, i hope..maybe someday BAMZS visit to my county
twinkle ->a fans from indonesia
Man, look at the paps! This’ll b such a tourism boost for India.
Thanks JJ!!!!
Mad is looking like a five year old, no longer looks like a baby, oh he is growing up.
Pic number 7 is my fave . Angelina looks great in that pic. She’s looking right at the camera. lol
Awww I love the way Maddox’s little hands are holding onto Brad’s fingers in the 3 to last pictures.
wow…new thread….thanks jared and audrey…i was reading some of the comments on the previous thread and i am LMAO with the thighs convo…. :lol: that was a very crazy discussion/debate…..
anyways, BAMZS are adorable and living the life they wanted and deserve….much love to this family…
okay ladies/gents nitey nite…tomorrow is Monday…no holiday for us….tah ta…. ;)
Elena posted this on the other thread. I brought it over here for the BAMZS Fans who care for her.
716 | FYI– It has been a while since I have come to visit here …There is so much I have not read or kept up on this site and the gossip world in general. But I had to jump in here … I have had a serious test to my faith in God lately and I have blamed him for the pain I have/am feeling as a result of the death of my sons. I am not quite there emotionally or spiritually but intellectually, I do know that it is not God who hurts us as much as it is ourselves and mankind. … I do not think the God I believe in, wants anyone to hurt …. It was not God who killed my sons… It was a drunk driver who was driving too fast in the wrong lane…
God loves all of us… specially the losers… Hate drains one of too much energy and leaves you feeling empty and alone …
I do not believe that Jen/Vince were ever a “couple”… It was a career thing…It helped get people into the theatre… But I do find it interesting that “Vince dumped Jen”. That says a lot about which one of these individuals has more clout…. Either that or Jen needs to dump Huvane… I do not think she can squeeze any more “pity party interviews” out of this breakup…
I want to thank all of you for the kind thoughts being sent in my direction… Mary…you have been such a wonderful and kind friend… ( we really need to meet. lol”)…Cally.. thank you for words and shared memories that have helped me through one more day…. Cindy 2… I am trying to understand the definition of “a better place” and is trying to believe of its existence…
Will try to get on some more soon… You all take care…

I like it very much that Angie is smiling, not on the pictures above but on the previous thread. I love
Brad’s protective gesture towards Maddox and Angie by holding on to Angie’s thigh. This couple is awesome.
Pixs 21,22-Mad is clutching his Dad’s hand, look at the bond between this father and son. Love these pixs. Angie you have chosen so wisely the man you love and the father of your children. He was meant to be a father, no learning curve needed for him.
Pixs 25,27-Yes JJ, Brad is definitely getting some inner thigh action. LOL. BRAD PITT IS THE MAN AND ANGIE IS SO MUCH HIS WOMAN! Just love them.
yes! thanks j@red for these additional pics! nice pictures. +)
I’m loving these BAM pictures
Oh wow — close ups!! AJ looks beeeyootiful…her skin is unbelievably gorgeous…it’s as poreless as Maddox’s. Shiny silky hair too. …and I agree love Maddy holding onto Daddy’s fingers - it’s so schweet.
14 | jjoy |Well lucky you at least you weren’t caught in the middle of that stupid convo :-( I am not kidding I was ready to throw the laptop out the window and scream infront of the tapwater( sorry I don’t live by the ocean) WHO CARES who is touching who’s thighs at any picture. Geez , well it is over for now. I just love this family, how have you been jjoy?
flawless… +)
OMG! Poor Mad, he looks so unhappy. The photogs there really should try to be more discreet, I am sure Brad and Angie want him to get out and see the city but it’s probably hard for him to enjoy it like this.
I just can’t believe how good Angie looks-that luminous clear skin on her face…..good, frequent sex does that to a woman….( I just had a thought that she’d be so hot playing in a re-make of “9 1/2 Weeks” with Brad-will never happen though)…and she’s wearing flip flops, no red toenails, no jeans…I think that’s on purpose - to show respect for the city they’re in by dressing less casually than they normally do. Very tactful and considerate.
Maddox kills me-he looks so good with his mohawk. And Brad, you can tell he’s on the alert with all those people milling about around them.
haha at least we won’t have 15+ pages of thigh/legs debate
convo. it was always Angie’s thigh all along, hopefully those who
were in doubt can now see in that in these pics which are more
clear.
15 | Maniston |
thanks Maniston, it’s great to hear from Elena. Elena we will always
pray for you and your family. you seem to be taking things one
day at a time and i hope you stop by again.
15 | Maniston -Thank you so much for bringing Elena’s post over here, I haven’t start to read the other thread yet, just looking at the pictures alone is good enough for me.
Beautiful pictures, Thank you JJ for another thread.
To Elena, we don’t each other, yet just to read your post right now tears are streaming down my face. I can not tell you how much I admire your courage and your love for everyone. You know that my prayers, thought are with you and your family. Be well and take care.
(((((((((big hugs to you)))))))))
Estelle
Brad looks so HOT
He’s protective his family, i love it
“Looks like Brad got a little inner thigh action… Hubba, hubba!” (J@red)
–
hahah did you read the previous thread? such craziness. That was a good movement from those two youngsters.
Mad instinctively holding on to his dad’s hand is just a poignant gesture of their bond as father and son. I can only imagine the first time Mad called him dad, it must have been a hallmark moment. Angie is such a devoted mother to all her children, She holds all of them in her arms with such love and tenderness. What can I say but Brad ’s hand on Angie’s hand is simply sweet and so much hotter than some celebrities with ostentious PDA.
Angelah-what happened? thigh debate?…Oh goodness, do have to go back and read 700+ post?…please do tell.
Please send my love to Elena as well, sending positive thoughts her way - we miss her and are here for her.
look at those indians papp in pic 19 …
Re-posting…
I thought these quotes from the Indian report about the auto-rickshaw ride were kind of cute:
“Pitt who was seen consistently talking with his wife Jolie stretched his leg and kept it over the bar that separates the driver from the passengers.
Son Maddox, who was recently reported to get his football lessons from non other than former captain David Beckham, was seen today sitting between their adopted parents and enjoying the ride.
However, the couple accustomed to such media frenzy kept talking to each other and their son, ignoring media person questions about his experience in Pune. ”
http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?rep=2&aid=328058&sid=ENT&ssid=1
What I meant to say was Brad’s hand on Angie’s thigh. There is something really special about Brad and Angie with their children. Wishing them the very best.
Wow, How can Brad and Angie leave the hotel with these crowd surrounding the Hotel. even Tom Cruise didn’t attract that much crowd while shooting in Shanghai not until the last few days of the shoot.
30 | Estelle — forget going back. It was ridiculous. IIRC some of us were about to order some KFC jp lmao.

Elena, I am touched by what you wrote above. I agree that God does not want anyone to hurt. Things happen for a reason but only God knows. There are no adequate words to ease the lost of loved ones but our faith in God will see us through in His time.
I just can’t believe how good Angie looks-that luminous clear skin on her face…..good, frequent sex does that to a woman….
24 | Anna |
i agree with you frequent sex makes skin more softer…
LOVE THEM. THIS FAMILY IS EXTRA-ORDINARY. TO ELENA, I POSTED A NOTE FROM YOU AT THE OTHER THREAD. YOU ARE COURAGEOUS ELENA…ALL THE BEST.
I must stop looking at these pixs, I have to go to work in 7 hours. But Pixs 24 and 25-Brad’s hand holding Angie’s thigh, Mad’s little hand holding on to Brad’s hand, and Angie’s arm around Mad holding on to Brad’s arm, love exists in this family.
36 | angelah-Thanks Angelah, I’m going through the e-mail and also the photo album. Loves it.
Well, Goodnight, until tomorrow.
Feeling HOT-HOT-HOT! These two simply is too Pipping Hot. Can’t explain it but their chemistry workd well to their advantage. Adore them
–good morning all!
B&A are so beautifully hot! ah I must ogle at these pics later today for I still need some zzzzz’s. Freakin’ class @ 9…
Thanks Maniston for posting Elena’s post here. Elena, I am glad that you stopped by on here, I really miss your eloquent remarks. I really learned a lot from those. I left you a comment on the other thread but i just want u to know that you and your fam are still on my prayers. God Bless.
in my prayers* ok i must sleep*
those pictures are nice. but does news papers get all these news Brad and Angie are firghting. i wonder they done have lvoe anymore than what is keeping them together.
i love how brad got one of his hands around one of angies legs that is so sweet .. and mads in between them so cute.. its great that they do this kind of stuff regardless of how hard it must be on them! i want brad and angie as my parents and learn about all the different countries and have so many opportunities open to you! good luck brad angie and the kids hope you stay healthy and strong one advise about raising kids when you travel around the world all the time is that even if you make the effort to be in the same country it won’t count in the long run if you don’t make that connection everyday with the kids. THank you for the pics it made my day>!!
pink….stop polluting yourself with tabloid lies. If you read them eventually part of you will believe it. frankly, how could a $1.99 tabloid can get intimate going-ons at the Jolie Pitt Household. Some of these tabs even have telephone conversation details.. Any sane person will have doubts on these stories.
Lastly, these tabs will “always” put a close friend & insider as their source but a friend will not divulge info from the press & insiders have to be bribed by these magazines with tons of money to get a news item. Point taken I hope.

No “newspapers” have reported Brad & Angelina fighting. Only trashy tabloids that also print big magical blue dots so people can win the lotto.
Brad & Angelina are in love and committed to each other and their family.
I like the pictures # 24, 25, 26.
All three of them holding each other: Brad’ right hand on Angie thigh and his left holding Mad’ hand, and Angie put her arm around Mad and holidng Brad’ elbow.
What happened to ANDROMEDA? She used to post here before almost everyday. She’s the girl from Argentina. I hope she’s doing fine. Andromeda, if you are around here lurking….hope you’ll leave a post or 2. We’ll appreciate it.
I have no idea why that post needed to be removed.

For some reason, my posts are not coming through anymore. If I can no longer post, I will let all of you know and post at the Yahoo group - both my fic, and any other commentary.
brad pitt’s hott
I am so shocked!
The child has cried in the hotel lobby after.
#56 Cliniqua - don’t tease me - bye bye - and while you are at it take passing through - she/it has been trying to pass through for months and is obviously very backed up. If you go all the lemmings will follow
Jared - you’ve officially made my night :)
Elena (in hopes she will read this or someone will relay it to her) - I know nothing about you but I was deeply touched by that post. Words cannot express the pain you must have experienced or are still enduring. What I can offer is prayer and some encouragement: God will not give you anything you cannot handle.
Jared…i’m still waiting the pics of baby Shiloh & Zahara at Pune
Go Jared…Go Audrey ;)
Thanks >>>JJ and Audrey

Elena-
Nice to hear from you. Maybe painful but your sons are in a better place. Happy memories of them are priceless and hopefully help you make it easier to get through life without them.
WE care for you here at JJ and we love to hear from you again. Take care.
Thanks to Maniston for posting Elena’s message.
Oh man I just missed them. I was in Mumbai and Pune for business 2 weeks ago!!!! Love the pictures and site, keep up the good work!

Your last posts showed up. It may just be a problem in the system I hope you continue to post.
I sadden that Maddox was unable to experience the ricshaw in peace like his parents did a couple of days before. Good luck to this family the rest of this film shoot. Again I pray that everything calms down there.
They are in india, making a film about a journalist who was killed, and outside their security is threatening to kill a journalist ?

JJ thanx a million once again for making us Brangelina faithfuls well fed by posting new pics of the couple and their little angels everyday this past week.. and i must admit that i can’t get enough of them…i love these new pics, there’s really so much love between them and for their children…maddox is so cute…angie is a real beauty…brad is amazingly handsome..what a pretty couple..no couple in hollywood can ever top them…Brangelina rocks…i don’t how else to describe them..but in my little world, brad and angie are simply the best…GOD BLESS them and their little angels..I wish them all the Best and good health…hello to all my kababayans are i know are just as crazy about Brangelina as myself…….and also to everyone here at JJ who loves Brad and Angie.love you all. i have to go look and admire at their new pics once again..they make me happy…they make my heart sing…
WE are still in rickshaw ride.!!
Love these pics, JJ.
AJ/BP are very protective of Maddox. This the 1st ride for Maddox, hence the hand across(seatbeltlike) in case the rickshaw hits a bump or potholes, ( probably countless).Without doors and a lightweight enclosure, it is a concern.
It is a good start to get the feel of the city. Pune must be happy to be the host for this loving family whose celebrity power they are now aware of and the economic bonanza they brought along.. sorry but the paps are just a step behind.

Every day they are getting more relaxed with each other in front of the public.I think that we BAMZS fans have the best to come.It was worth to wait.

they are zoo animals
Let’s get serious NO ONE considers anyone who works for a British Tabloid a “Journalist”
Poor Maddox he looks frightened and you can’t blame him with those people like swarms of Locusts around them. Enough is enough, India
Hi everyone, hope everyone is enjoying these pix of the Jolie-Pitt family. They look gorgeous, humble and normal. Thanks Just Jared for your daily updates :)
I also think Mad was very frightened.
I visited India once, and I was so surprised because you can see so many so poor people in the street. They just live in the street without any roof over their head, and if you stop your car because of the red light, small girls come to you for money. But if you go just one block you can see rich people’ houses. I think there are many rich peoples in India but there are more of so poor people in India also. And the street is so crazy. Cars do not care about a line and just drive in middle of the line and there are so many cycles and the people riding cycles also do not care about cars so that you feel like you are going to hit the cycles.
I do not wish to offend anybody from India but I did not have a good time while I stayed in India.
Ok so we have Brad holding Angie’s thigh.Mad holding daddy’s hand and Angie holding Mad and Brad’s elbow.Plus smiling pics of them on the privious thread!Both looking relaxed happy and content enjoying their trip! What else can someone ask? If only this stalkers would BACK OFF for a freaking minuite and stop hunting them like that I would be even more happy.I hope all this frenzy will die down soon.
Good morning BAMZSers!
I am married to an Indian doctor from Bangalore and we have a house outside the city. When I took an auto rickshaw ride just for experience, I only felt safe when my husband put one arm around my shoulder and the other holding the bar in front of us. What Brad did was right. I am sure Angie and Mad felt safe. Brad is smart and he’ll find the way to enjoy India with Angie and the children. I just wish Mad is a little bigger to understand remember these special times. The foreign journalists are the trouble makers. They will stop not at nothing to make some bucks. I know the local people will protect them from harm. Indians take pride in showing their country to any visitors. I have traveled from North to South of India and I find it so beautiful. The palaces, temples, gardens, forts, Old and New Delhi and the rest of the country are incredible. I am also watching the progressive India in the making. I also like the Indian movies, but I love the BAMZ most.

You don’t mind seeing the photographers work do you ??? THAT IS WHY YOU VISIT THIS SITE. Face reality.
This attack is also unprovoked and is FELONY ASSAULT in the USA FYI.
“Two Indian journalists also complained they had been threatened by the same security guard.”
JARED & AUDREY you two are amazing!
You LOVE the BAMZS fans so much.
Many thanks again for your hard work!
Have a nice Monday morning!
GOOD MORNING WORLD BAMZS FANS!

Nice try you freak of nature.
It must really be devasting for the Aniston fannies to see these pictures. Can’t you just picture them? Bumpig into walls and foaming at the mouth, pulling their hair. Brad, Angie and Madd riding in a rickshaw! How dare they? Ohhh and who does Brad think he is grabbing Angie’s inner thigh? Damnit! We’ll show them and everybody else. We’ll go on blogs and pretend to be other posters and just spam those blogs w/bullshit!
That’ll teach them ALL!
What a bunch of beyond pathetic creatines

And what !!!! that is his Job. Go Mickey.
” creatines” : You can’t spell correctly enough to insult ! BTW calling people a “cretin” is right up there with calling poor people “locusts”. Here is the definition (if you can find it)
cretin
n. mentally and physically deficient person, generally a large- headed dwarf, whose condition is due to deficient thyroid secretion. cretinous, a. cretinism, n.
Please. GO AWAY.
HEY! How come by thread only has 8 comments? Where’s the LOVE ?

I love looking at these pics - they give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside :lol:
83: attacking people without provocation is ILLEGAL. NOBODY has the right to restrain or attack, only police, and they do it within the strictest guidance of THE LAW. REMEMBER THAT: THE LAW. You are defending unprovoked FELONY ASSAULT. Grabbing someone by the throat like that could get him 5 years. He has NO LEGAL RIGHT TO ATTACK. “Two Indian journalists also complained they had been threatened by the same security guard.” They are in India, making a film about a journalist who was killed, and outside their security is threatening to kill a journalist ?

I saw the video of what Mickey did to that paparazzi guy and I would not want to mees with Mickey. These paps have to know by now that he has a temper yet they continue to provoke him and then whine later.

So now what? You don’t even know the facts 100%, you just got the so-called journalist’s side and you’re already called it a felony? Haven’t you heard of “innocent until proven guilty?” Even proven criminals have their day in court, and yet you have proved yourself a judge, jury and executioner in print by condemning the security guard, and by extension, Brad and Angie. Man, you would spin anything just to get back at Brad and Angie, wouldn’t you?
Mad looks scared…..I don’t think his parents should expose him to those paps again
BAMZS family is more vulnerable here, the paps are poorer and one good snap will earn them a year’s salary, this means they’ll be more desper\ate
I wish them a safe shoot, for them to keep their heads down, do the work, and leave back to a safer sanctuary. Mad will be happier too
dave, since the so-called incident with the pap and the bodyguard happened in India, shouldn’t Indian laws prevail? you are citing US laws, which may be different from India’s
Please. GO AWAY.

It’s the same person aka ritzy. Dave, the second get real, etc. She’s using other’s names and men’s to post over and over again

Exactly !!! and John Lennon killed by a crazy fan , he would be still alive if there’s a bodyguard at his side.
Poor baby, he looks scared. But it looks like they were trying to comfort little Maddox. Family time is important to my family. It is too bad they can’t get a moments peace to spend some reacreational time together.
99 | Kongo
Yes, Maddox look frighten thatswhy he is gripping Dad’s hand, but I think Brad and Angie never expected they will be mobbed like this since they were able to get away form the pap. on their first ride. but they did return back to the hotel after only 15 mins of ride.
Thanks Just Jared for the pictures. I hope that BAMZS will be able to enjoy India and film the Movie without too may problems. The Paps are going to be a problem no matter where they go. I think BP/AJ realizes this and try to protect their family as much as possible. Their Bodyguard had a right to protect himself and the family. The photographer had to have gotten very close to him inorder for him to even touch him. This is no excuse, just from what I observed. This is just another way for the media to sensationalize and over exaggerate anything concerning BAMZS. Once all the facts are sorted out, this will be another forgetton media moment like all the others. I wish BAMZS a productive and safe stay in India.
Thank you Jared and Audrey. It looks like they did start filming today!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt begin shooting scenes for movie about slain reporter in India
Enlarge PhotoBy AP
Monday October 9, 04:55 PM
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt began shooting scenes for a movie about the life of slain journalist Daniel Pearl on Monday, said a crew member on the movie shoot in the western Indian city of Pune.
Security was tight around a spacious bungalow in the Pune suburb of Aundh, chosen because the area resembles Karachi, Pakistan, where Pearl and his wife Mariane spent time.
Jolie plays Mariane Pearl in the in the film, “A Mighty Heart,” and Dan Futterman portrays Daniel Pearl. Both were involved in Monday’s shoot, said a set manager who did not want to be named for fear of losing his job.
A street sign outside the bungalow has been changed to “Zamzama Fourth Street,” and the height of boundary walls of adjoining cottages has been raised to replicate the area Pearl and his wife stayed in Karachi before Pearl’s abduction.
The Wall Street Journal reporter was abducted and murdered in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on Islamic militancy.
Pune is about 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Mumbai, India’s financial and entertainment hub.
Television reporters, photographers and journalists have been camped outside the Pune hotel where the couple is staying and the bungalow since the stars arrived in India late last week.
Pictures of Pitt and Jolie with their son Maddox in an autorickshaw made the front page of India’s national newspapers on Monday.
Their 20-minute ride in the three-wheeler rickshaw took them past shops and department stores in downtown Pune.
The couple are in India with Maddox 5, Zahara, 18 months, and 4-month-old Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.
The movie is based on an adaptation of Mariane Pearl’s book, “A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl,” and will be co-produced by Plan B, a production company founded by Pitt and his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Aniston.
Good Morning, Jared thanks for more pics.
Sorry, I meant forgotten media moment as all the rest. Best Wishes to BAMZS.
i know i can’t have it both ways, but as much as i luv seeing these pics (damn bradley looks hawt in #8), i really wish they could be left alone. i’m sure brangie really wanted to show mad everyday life in india, but the poor thing looks so scared. i hope this experience doesnt frighten them from more sightseeing excursions.
Poor Madd. He probably thinks those paps ruin everything for him. He hates them you can tell. Plus, I think Madd was unnerved by people having the ability to get right up next to them in the rickshaw. He’s sandwiched good between them though.
Brad’s a very sweet man. You can just tell how he is with the kids and Angelina. Another thing I’ve noticed about Brad is that he’s usually always touching Angelina in one way or another whenever they’re out. Very sweet.
I guess an India newspaper actually printed today that Holly arrived for the start of the production for AMH. They have no privacy at that hotel
So let me get this straight….all you BAMZers scream, JJ we need pictures, can’t live a day with out a new picture of your idols…then you get picures as you drool over them analysing the fact that he actually touched her leg (probably just to get her to shut-up cause she looks likes she giving the driver he1l for something that isn’t his fault) and , the whole time bashing the picture takers. What an oxymoron.
They brought on the hounding by the paparazzi’s.. I hope they
never get any peace. It’s payback for adultery and publicity seeking.
What phonies.

Damn, they had to throw the X’s name in, didn’t they? Even though she no longer has anything to do with Plan B. Do they need to mention that ad infinitum?
There is complete seperation between taking photographs of them on a public street or in public where a photographer is respectful and keeps their distance. It’s another thing for a pack/mob to chase them, stick camera’s in their faces, create chaos by pushing and trying to get position within the mob, yelling at each other to get a photograph of them. Clearly they have a child with them. They probably told him all about how much fun the rickshaw was and they’d take him .
Brad and Angelina are always very accomodating. People just need to relax and realize when they have the children it’s a different ballgame

Still bitter that Maniston being dump twice in 2 straight year. please go to Maniston ex fiancee thread & spew your hate,.
I guess an India newspaper actually printed today that Holly arrived for the start of the production for AMH. They have no privacy at that hotel

It´s going to be a long ass month.
#113 Mimi
I guess JA brought on all the negative publicity and cover stories she is getting also. Whatever, people analyze and see what they want to because this is human nature. BP and AJ are enjoying their lives. They know that they will be in the media spotlight and adjust accordingly. I am sure that they could care less about anyone opinion of them and how they are living their lives. If they did, then they would be a neroutic mess and afraid to even ventue out of their Malibu beach mansion.
I always love to see the way AJ interact with her kids. She is such a natural mom. I can see why Brad fell in love with her. He is such a natural dad himself. Their kids are lucky.
mornin all….no good mornin to the haters.happy thanx giving canadians!
The foreign journalists are the trouble makers. They will stop not at nothing to make some bucks. I know the local people will protect them from harm. Indians take pride in showing their country to any visitors.

You’re right about that. Indians take pride in treating guests very well, but as an Indian…I cringe everytime I read about how the media and hotel staff is behaving. They are rude and have no ethics when it comes to being discrete and professional.
But glad to see that Brad and Angie are still taking in the sights. I saw the Indian news because I got some Indian channels at home and the reporter was asking the public about B & A riding an autorickshaw. They said it showed that they are down to earth and don’t mind traveling like how the locals travels…most of the Bollywood stars in India would never even dare to step outside their cars and ride an rickshaw among the locals.
They also interviewed the richshaw driver and he basically said it was fun showing them around Pune.

I know, they are never going to let the triangle go due to the rabid X fans. At least they did manage to say son Maddox instead of adopted son. And now the set manager is leaking info from the film set? Way, way too much info is being given out.

It’s really an astounding thing that people have that type of reaction to seeing Brad with Angelina and his children. Amazing how subtle affection between them send these people off the deep end like he was their husband or boyfriend and they “own” him.
Two years later and a new baby and they’re still holding on to to something that just doesn’t exist.
It’s never going to stop for Brad and Angelina. They’re interesting, progressive , active people and they will be covered by the press
Way, way too much info is being given out.

This is what is so great about Brad and Angelina. They can travel and meld into any society and Angelina understands so much how important it is to relate to people on all levels.
It’s such a nice thing to see and hear about them. I do wish they’d leave that hotel though
And now the set manager is leaking info from the film set? Way, way too much info is being given out.

Mimi, go to Owen Wilson/Kate Hudson’s thread and give them hell for adultery. IIRC, Kate hasn’t even filed for divorce yet, or even if she has, it hasn’t been finalized because after all she only SEPARATED from Chris in August. And yet here she is, a married woman WITH A CHILD, canoodling with Owen Wilson. So get your moralistic behind on their thread and leave BAMZS alone. After all, Brad is already a DIVORCED man and he can pretty much do what he wants.
113- Mimi
Do you think Aniston is an adulterer? Tell me the truth.
Thanks Jared and Audrey for the additional pictures and new Thread, you guys are the BEST
cute couple
The reps/paps should chill down, badly! Like the rest of u, I want them to get out of that hotel. I’ll pray for their safety.
Since they already started filming the movie and no new pictures have surfaced yet (It’s about 7.00 pm in India I think) Then I hope that they moved in the bungalow. The situation outside the Le Meridine is getting really crazy.
BTW-I love seeing those pictures .They are very attentive parents and Brad is very protective with his family.And for the incident with the British pap give it up fanistons(posting under multiple names).What are you saying here as something new and shocking happened tow days ago. We were the ones who posted the story when it first surfaced in our threads and we have already discus that topic. You are to late. So get the hell outta here. Actually I saw the clip with Mickey and the paparazzi and Mickey just grabbed his neck for too seconds and then he left. He told him to stop taking photos but the pap ignored him. They won’t stop until they will get what they want .MONEY. And when they can’t achieve their gal they’re whining like the X. Their asses deserve to be kicked. They must learn to be professionals and stop stalking a family for the sake of their pocket.
Dear Elena, I’m not sure if you will read my post, but I would like
to post anyway. I’m sure I have no words that can possibly
assuage your pain in this time. Nor any wisdom to share with
you. I think that in a sense, this is a journey you have to walk by
yourself - like pilgrim, but please remember, you don’t make this
journey alone. Please know that we, the bystanders, are willing
you on, to achieve the peace and reconciliation you seek. You are
often in my thoughts and my prayers.
15 | Maniston | - Maniston, thank you for posting Elena’s post.
Elena: It was so good to hear from, your post is so very touching, once again I am so sorry for your lost, please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, and also know that your sons are now angels in heaven looking down upon you and the rest of your family, protecting you guys and watching over your all. May God Bless you Elena and your family all the days of your lives.
Don’t you love how someone can act morally superior by accusing
them of “adultery”, and yet at the same time not see that they
are violating what Jesus preaches by not only judging them but
wishing them unpleasantness by saying he hopes they never get
any peace? Didn’t God say that “vengeance is mine”, not yours to
give out or wish upon someone? But oh, you’re so above the Jolie-
Pitts, their mistaks that you see them making YOU able to get off
scot-free with YOUR mistakes?
Doesn’t work that way. Brad and Angie know whether or not they
committed adultery, and God knows, and it’s between them, so
stay out of it. Work on yourself, which should take up your time,
not judging others. It’s hard enough to keep ourselves on a
righteious path without trying to find fault in everyone else.

I hope that she’s ok wherever she is as well as for the other posters who haven’t been here i.e. moi jade, cb, malaya, cindy2, stef, original jpf, krissy, etc.
Freak’n North Korea claims it conducted a nuclear test last night.
113 | mimi - Wishing ill upon others is wrong. That’s a very mean thing to say.
132 | angelah | - I totally agree with you Angelah, the paps and reps, should chill out and leave the family alone, and I also praying for their safety
while Angelina always has a sarine (sp) face, Brad is running the gammot of expression, concern, suprise, that tongue-in-cheek look of his, and just downright agrivation. I love all his faces. I wonder how Angelina keeps her cool?
OH! and almost everyone in hollywood is commiting “adultry” including X. At least this wonderful caring couple is not having casual sex as so many are
#113 mimi cheating doesn’t exist if love were still there……
Doesn’t look like Mad care about all this experience of rickshaw ride. All the smiles are on the parents’ face.
I wonder why they decided to go on the ride anyway, fully awaring what a scene it would creat. And I don’t think they honestly had thought they could just have a family fun ride like every other “normal” family not in the public eye.
It’s like putting yourselves out there deliberately trying to see what a crowd effect it would creat. It’d be better if they did this on their own and leave the boy at home. He was not enjoying this, and he’s too young to face this kind of madness! Parents’ arms around him is not going to make him enjoy something he doesn’t come to find enjoyable on his own.
113 | mimi
Aniston filed for divorce on March 25, 2005. According to Wikipedia, she claimed, “their personal reasons for entering the marriage were not completely honest and they could not sustain the deceit, both in their private and public lives.”
oops forgot to inlcude- now that’s phony!!
144 | oberser |
++++++++++++
I feel sorry for your kids if you have any. They must be bored to death, since you sound like you are not willing to experience anything. I have a 5 year old nephew, and I think he would enjoy a rickshaw ride if he ever gets to visit India. But, he may not, you only know if you try. It is an experience worth trying, that wouldn’t hurt you if you don’t like it after you try.
Did you ever notice that Aniston in her filing of divorce papers left the date of seperation blank?
Fascinating
148 | Look - She did? Interesting.
Touching photos…pun intended…I love this family. Brad is even sexier now that he is a daddy…and a caring involved daddy too.
THANKS for the pictures.
113 | mimi
I wonder if that W spread he and angelina did where he said by the 60s married couples were just “going thru the motions” had some reference to how he had felt about his marriage? I always thought his marriage was arrainged with “America’s sweetheart”,barf, to get rid of his playboy image.
#113 oh mimilat! its really hard to get dump ey!i dont know why….but im pretty sure she will always be.MARK MY WORDS!you loser!
48 | Look - She did? Interesting.
149 | CCCC
_____________________________________________
Yes. She did. Those papers were on the Smoking Gun, TMZ, etc. The date of seperation was left blank and for a reason, her reasons.
153 | Look - Thank you Look. I guess that confirms that they were separated for a very long time before the actual filing. Also I read about the deceit they could not sustain in the marriage. There is so much we don’t know. I hope she comes clean one day.
#113 mimi i heard from cnn that the ugly aniston will direct a movie for BRAD AND ANGIE!and the title “SEX WITH THE GODDES”
148 | Look?
Why did x the leaked leave it blank? Everybody knows that it was on 7th of January, 2005. Am I wrong?
Why did she do that? What did she gagne out of it? The separation wasn’ it official?
Sorry, I can’t see the point, maybe just because I am fasting :)
People’s website has the family outing picture. They had an article on AJ thanking Indian people, yesterday.
Just noticed…Angelina’s NOT wearing black.
The Departed was number at the box office for the weeend…chalk another up for Brad.
These people be so beautiful.
Elena, I read your post and I don’t know what to say… it is very, very sad what you have experienced and are still experiencing and my prayers are with you and your family.

______________________________________
No. They announced the seperation then on Jan 5th. She left the date of seperation blank because she didn’t want the public to know when they had privately agreed to seperate.
It wouldn’t serve her purpose to admit the correct date
#153 LOOK!b/c aniston thinks brad will back out,too bad HE wants ASAP.
The footage of Mickey grabbing the photographer’s neck made it to the NBC newscast this morning, as well as the Jolie-Pitts’ Pune outing with Maddox. It looked like a zoo. Total chaos. No wonder Maddox looks frightened. The photog says he is getting ready to sue.
x the leaked will never come clean about her marriage to Brad, if there is no benefit for her career to get out of that confession or explanation.
yeah, it’s like Nick and Jessica. Her date of seperation in her papers was Thanksgiving but they didn’t release their statement to the public until well after that.
If all accounts are true he was living most of 2004 from hotel to hotel and with friends like David Fincher and at the house in Los Feliz.
162 | from NBC - I am glad. That would send a message to all photographers who are seeking to make a fast buck to not harrass people for photos when they say “no”.
To those who argue that Mickey has done something illegal, well in
India, if he did do something totally illegal, then I’m sure he would
be charged accordingly. Indian pride would demand nothing less.
However, under Indian law, which is based on English law (same
as US law), private citizens are LEGALLY entitled to use reasonable
force to protect ourselves and our property. That’s why, we are
allowed to hit an intruder in our garden with a spade. So long as
Mickey and the bodyguards stick with reasonable force to escort
the paps off Meridien premises then he is well within his rights.
Judging from the photo I say, no more then reasonable force was
used to remove that UK pap which is why he can’t take legal
action.
Spare me the bullshit from the pap about how he might lose his
job if he takes legal action. If that pap could make money out of a
law suit, he would have. See, Mickey is under the employ of Brad
and Angelina or someone or some company with money. As an
employee, Mickey’s employer is vicariously liable for harm caused
by Mickey in the course of his job. There are 2 reasons why that
pap is not taking legal action: (1) he didn’t get hurt so his
damages will be minimal (India does not do exemplary damages)
and (2) as probably, only reasonable force was used to remove
him, he probably does NOT HAVE A CASE.
Jennifer Garner did the same thing when she filed for divorce from Scott Foley. In her papers she listed the night she went to the Oscar’s with her friend as the seperation date. The didn’t announce the seperation/divorce until later.
I agree. Aniston left it blank for a reason and reason being she didn’t want people to know the truth because the tabloids for a year had been claiming they had been done for awhile
me thinks this idiot photographer is all talk and no action. If he does file charges…then I hope Brad and Angelina’s team of lawyers kick his little hiene in court. Mickey did his job. This jerk purposely got into his face to make him mad and then complained to all the media. Hope he gets his ass handed to him.
PICTURE 25…WOW…PRICELESS!!!
BAMZS 4 LIFE :D
If all accounts are true he was living most of 2004 from hotel to hotel and with friends like David Fincher and at the house in Los Feliz.
—————————————————-
I remeber those stories, that he was living in hotels by the time he was filming MAMS (before he went to europe to film Ocean´s)
163 | from NBC - I saw that as well this morning on NBC, it was like a total Zoo with all those people following them, so freaking crazy; and oh please that photographer just got a little touch from Mickey, it was like a quick hold and then a left go, and now he is suing, I hope that he don’t get any money from this, he was wrong, he was told to stop taking pictures of the couple and he still continue to do so.
great pics. i m looking for pics of Shiloh, do you hv any?
Yes!!! That inner thigh action is soooo cool… i love them!!!
Morning all,
Thanks Jared for the pix. Bamzs fans please I beg you, ignore these morons who are shouting “Hypocrits”. I’ve come to the conclusion that if someone shot at BP and AJ (God forbid), these morons will say “well why did they stand in the way of his bullet. The poor guys has rights”. Honestly, how anyone can see the fightened expression on Maddox’s face and still claim Mickey was in the wrong is beyond me. How crazy is that? I don’t know why people allow their hate to over-ride common sense. These paparazzis are aggressive. We’ve all seen videos of how they act with celebrities, they yell out offensive things just to get a reaction from their prey. They shove the cameras in their faces and won’t listen to reason. Is it too much to ask that they stay at a respectable distance especially when the celebs are with their children? Is that even something that should be asked….shouldn’t it be a given? And then to top it all, we have morons coming here and spouting legal crap…..what about common decency? What about not scaring a child? Nooo, these take a back seat to the aggresive paparazzi’s “rights” Give me a break! What it all boils down to is hate for the JPs and for them to disguise it as concern for “paparazzis right” is just plain HYPOCRITICAL!!!
Stardust, you are right….The Indians are very welcoming and will go out of their way to make guests feel at home. The article about the 2 boys becoming bodygaurds just warms my heart…..they obviously saw how out of control these paps were and took it upon themselves to do something. Do they expect to be paid? I doubt the thought of money ever crossed their minds, something compelled them to do it and it wasn’t greed.
I, like everyone else, hope they’ve moved to the private bungalow. In as much as I like looking at the pictures, I want them to have some peace and quiet. We are fans of these people and have no problem placing their need (for privacy) over our needs (to gaze adoringly at their beautiful faces). I can honestly say that the bamzs fans on JJ are here more for the camaraderie than for the pictures…..this evidenced by the continious postings on week old pictures. There have also been days when Jared puts up very old pictures and we still posts. On a very small level, I sometimes have an “Oh no” moment when there are new pictures because with it comes an influx of moronic post…..from wannabe body language experts, amatuer psychologist and drop outs from the Madam Cloe school of fortune telling. These posts are very tiring and is something most of us can do without, which is why there are times when newer threads are abandoned in favor of older threads. I am not in anyway saying we are completely blameless for this fiasco, I am only trying to show that contrary to what some people think, we can do without the pictures.
I am sorry for my rant….it’s just that it never ceases to amaze me how many idiots are out there.
By the way, anyone who thinks having the crap scared out of a child is comeuppance for anything, is a buffoon.
Elena
I was so glad to read your post and I pray that God continues to give you the fortitude to get through this. Always remember that you’ve got friends….albeit cyber, in all the Bamzs fans on JJ. God bless.
To #136(remember da truth)
You posted my thoughts exactly. Haters need to stop judging, that they may not be judged. “Why do you see the splinter in someone’s eye but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye”. Whatever a person do is between God and himself.
Hi Missouri Fan! Thanks for acknowledging my previous posts. I can’t believe it too that for once I was the first on this thread. Oh yes, I’ve been trying to come out of lurking especially nowadays that there are so many pics of B & A coming out and they are getting more comfortable showing their affection for each other. I also feel that we BAMZS fans are in for more treats.
Keep up the excellent work JJ and Audrey. I can’t thank you enough for the joy you bring to us.
Good day to everyone, and to my kababayan. kumusta.
175 | African Girl | - Hey AG, Great Post and I agree; and be sorry for ranting.
Does anyone think Angie’s pregnant? I heard that but I only trust the sources here
I am married to an Indian doctor from Bangalore and we have a house outside the city. When I took an auto rickshaw ride just for experience, I only felt safe when my husband put one arm around my shoulder and the other holding the bar in front of us. What Brad did was right. I am sure Angie and Mad felt safe. Brad is smart and he’ll find the way to enjoy India with Angie and the children. I just wish Mad is a little bigger to understand remember these special times. The foreign journalists are the trouble makers. They will stop not at nothing to make some bucks. I know the local people will protect them from harm. Indians take pride in showing their country to any visitors. I have traveled from North to South of India and I find it so beautiful. The palaces, temples, gardens, forts, Old and New Delhi and the rest of the country are incredible. I am also watching the progressive India in the making. I also like the Indian movies, but I love the BAMZ most.
77 | NJ Fan | 10/9/06 8:06 AM |
You make me want to go to India now. I would love to see what you’ve seen and what the Jolie-Pitts are seeing now. I wonder if an autorickshaw ride is similar to a Thai tuk tuk ride, both scary and wonderufl all at the same time? I guess I’m going to have to add India to my list of countries to visit. *sigh* the list is getting rather long. 8)
a new thread, starbucks coffee and muffins - what a good way to start the morning :) …thanks Jared for giving us a new thread…don’t work yourself too hard, k :)
Another thread, I guess I’m just going to have to quit my job! Thanks JJ
I like picture number 24 you see how Brad hold on to Angie’s thigh and Maddox hand, its like he’s trying to protect them from papz..
love them
love them
love them
175 | African Girl
Well I can see you recovered from the last thread. Bravo to everyone who was able to go through that thread, to say it was tedious will be an understatement. I could not take the it is Maddox thighs past page three.
In as much as I will like to look at pictures, I don’t mind not seeing the pictures. I don’t need pictures to tell me what I already think about this two and their family. I just hope the hysteria dies down, if not, it will be a very long month.
And for those faulting Mickey, I gyess you did not see the frenzy in New York when Angie was pregnant and went to the Witness function, they certainly needed Mickey because this paps have no self restraint. I say he rough them up if they won’t behave, better be safe than sorry.
#181 maria, that was cute. I can relate to that. I’m off today (Columbus Day) and supposed to be doing laundry and cleaning but can’t seem to stay away from the computer for more than 5 min.
Happy Thanksgiving Canadians!
Most in the United States have the day off too to celebrate Columbus Day. I’m not sure why because he didn’t discover squat. First: How do you discover a land already populated by people? Second: Didn’t he overshoot the USA and reach Cuba instead? I don’t get it but at least I get a day off work. *shrugs*
They look gr8, although they looked concerned. I t would be nice if they wanted left alone they could be..I guess there used to it.

Thanx I started lurking here maybe last week (I can’t remember, I’ve been at my computer so long!) I’ve posted a few times, but thes threads grow so fast, I get way behind the topic. I was linked up her from Pittwatch, I’m glad I did!
#167 / Lylian
That’s another interesting point you’ve brought about the different laws for different countries. It also shows the mentality of these posters….they think everything begins and ends in the US. These people sit in their comfort zone, afraid to explore world beyond their noses and they want to lecture us about laws and rights.
x17 has a new video and it’s worse then you think. Mass chaos. Poor Madd he was scared and you can hear Brad talking to him probably trying to reassure him. The police surounding the rickshaw were just out of control
http://www.x17online.com/
I think Brad and Angie took the FIRST ride to see if it would be safe. Then they took Maddox for his ride which ALL 5 year olds would love.
I do love to see the pictures, but pictures can be taken FAR AWAY without getting inside their personal space. I wish it was like that for them. I don’t care how famous a person is, they do not deserve this. Too bad they don’t have the protection they had in Africa. It is sad that they cannot go anywhere without getting mobbed. No REAL FAN of theirs would MOB THEM!
It makes me uneasy for them to be in India. I’m not afraid of the people there really, but kidnapping goes on everywhere. I hope they have plenty of security, and I don’t blame their security guard for grabbing that photog one bit! Who knows what they might do when they get too close to the family.
They need to find a home to rent with a secure fence/wall and plenty of security to keep people out. I know they try to give their kids as normal a life as possible, but people are crazy.
I don’t know why people are always saying, “Where is Shiloh?” Like they would take a baby on a rickshaw ride! This would be stupid with all the Paps around. Do you really think Shiloh would enjoy a rickshaw ride? Duh! Even Zahara is too young for that.
By the way, JA does not own any of Brad’s production company so why mention her? As far as the date of separation, David Arquette said on one of the shows that they split for good in the summer of 2004, but Brad let her tell people the way she wanted to tell them. When she wouldn’t, they took their closest friends on that last vacation where they told them. Brad tried to make it as amicable as possible, but they did not spend three months together in 2004. The marriage was over but the final paperwork.
George Clooney said in one interview in a British mag that he knew Brad and JA were finished before Brad and Angie made Mr. and Mrs. Smith. He said he liked Jen, but Brad and Angie were happy. End of story.
I don’t know why all this has to be rehashed over and over again just like I’m doing. LMAO!
I hope BAMZS is safe and happy in India, and that the shoot is FAST.
Love the BAMZS!
another new thread! geez jared!!! {{{CYBER HUG}}} are you bucking for blogger of the year? if so, you had my vote months ago!

I’m glad I found this site too. I think this is the best site for BAMZS lovers. There are so many posters that are intelligent and have wisdom. They can articulate well. I just wish I can do the same. But you guys do it for me, so I’m happy with that. I just noticed that the number of posters is not a lot as it used to be. I could be mistaken. Maybe they are in the yahoo site.

I feel sad for them after I watched the x17 video.
INDIA…Please calm down!!!
Jared and Audrey, you guys really know how to treat people right! Thank you so much for making my long weekend! Thank you for your hard work!!!!!!!!
the video on x17online was sooo scary,no wonder mad look scared.
but good to see BA protecting mad….hmmm papz are hungry for big bucks….
Angie is holding onto Brad’s shirt sleeve, Brad’s holding onto Angie’s inner thigh, and Mad’s holding onto his Daddy’s hand. Sooooooooooo cute!
Well after seeing the x17online video, no wonder Mad was scared, I was just watching and I could see how out of control that situation could have become.
I love this family but they look kinda scared,In picture eleven the guy has only one eye and looks stoned, or he has no eyes. Brad is loking at him like ” oh my god, what did we do”. and angies like ” go back get me oughtta here “, and maddoxx is showing the fear. in his cute little face…scary
Elena, may God bless you and I will continue praying for you and your family as well as the souls of your children. Take care.
also did anyone else hear Brad ask Mad, you alright buddy. I just Angie and Brad lucked out in finding each other.
Brad looks fed up in these pix, all except #14 where he’s obviouly reassuring Maddox. Are those motorbikes around the rickshaw bodyguards, cops or razzis? I wonder what poor Maddox is thinking.
I saw the NBC video, and I still don’t blame Mickey. He is a trained bodyguard. The way he grabbed the other guy’s neck may look aggressive, but you can see he is not choking the guy, you don’t see any change in the guy’s facial color. So it looked very intimidating, to warn others, but no harm is really done.
#184 / Indie
Lol…..it took a while but I am recovered from last night’s thigh-leg convo. I still can’t believe we went almost twelve pages on “it’s her leg” “No it’s his”.
I don’t get why people keep asking why they didn’t bring the girls along. What?!! Are they crazy?…..I don’t get this. Are they just saying it for saying sake? These are the same people who’d scream bad parent if Zee and Shiloh had been there. I saw the pix of Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham in paris and people where coming down on them for not having their kids with them…..calling them bad parents for leaving their children at home with nannies. To say I was stunned is an understatement. Here we have AJ and BP taking their kids everywhere and these people have the audacity to call them bad parents. Some even go as far as suggesting they leave them alone with nannies so the children can have some stability. God save us from stupid people.
I also don’t blame Mickey, it’s his job to protect the family when people get out of line.
ah! so angie’s been working all day. hope that boss of hers hasn’t been too hard on her. hey, does anybody know who the direct for AMH is? i know it’s been posted before, but i’ve forgotten.
199 | gitane |
————————————————–
Yeah, they started today, and I am sure that her boss was very gentle with her :). The director of AMH is Michael Winterbottom, a british director
For some reason I can’t get the video out of my head, I bet when AJ and BP got back to the hotel safe and sound with Mad, they proablely looked at each other and said not one of out smarter moves.
Hey all. Since threads have been popping up more some of you may have missed my first post. I made a new music video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH0LR4OZZLI
I want to thank those who left comments on here and on youtube. Thanks y’all!
ANYONE notice the one eyed guy drivin with the bloodshot eyes?
Oh my goodness, after seeing the x17 video, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. Poor Mad, I think he would have enjoyed that ride if that entire craziness didn’t happen. It was so cute when Brad asked him, you alright bud? That is soooo sweet.
I wonder how the driver of the rickshaw felt afterwards. He must have been a really good driver otherwise he wouldn’t have the ability to go through with the entire ride. Wow!
211 | African Girl |I am glad one of us recovered from yesterdays thigh convo. I was going to make chicken thighs tonight, forget it !!! I am not having anything to do with thighs for a month :lol:
You guys, I just can’t get the expression on Maddox’s face off my mind. It is haunting me. Seeing the video of this chaotic outing in Pune bothers me greatly. I love those kids. I do not want to see them confused, frightened. I feel guilty that it is people like me who are dying to see more and more pictures of the family and that’s the reason photographers are getting out of control with their obsession to photograph them. After all they get paid a lot of money for those pictures.
So with all this stuff in my mind I am seriously considering stopping any kind of blogging all together. I am really disturbed about this. My conscious bothers me a lot. But I love the BAMZS with all my heart and always pray for their happiness and safety.
Ok, that was was crazy. There were so many people following them on motorcycles and screaming and everything was just so…out of control.
After seeing that video, I have to say, Good going, Mickey!
Oh, and on that x17 link, they have a video of Tom Cruise going to his son’s game and the papz are swarming in front of him screaming ‘when’s the wedding?’, and there are at least a dozen of them. These people just don’t have any respect for personal space!
15 | Maniston ….thanks for copying that because i won’t even know that Elena posted coz too many threads to read…. :)
sorry jared and audrey….i am not complaining but man when you’re fast providing BAMZS news you’re like a bullet train that i can not catch up…..thanks for being such a support to our BAMZSVILLE ladies and gents… :)
21 | guli … :lol: last night i was like WTH going on and then i realized that there are still fanistons in denial about the togetherness of this family…that’s so sad….fanistons hoping for something (like the break up of BAMZS) which i fervently believe it will never happen….only in their dreams….i believe in this couple coz they believe and trust each other and both are intelligent and they know what they want…so fanistons keep on hoping and wishing for nothing….maybe these fanistons should realized by now that without 1/2 of the golden couple, chinleatherskinton is just a tarnished brass rusting slowly painfully and no brass shiner in armor coming to the rescue…. karma is really a ***** :lol:
I just saw that video, I’m shaky. Is this what we do to them? So scary when you see it in motion. I hope they get out of the city ASAP.even for as much money as they have, I could never go through that every day of my life.
TIJEN,
The expression on Maddox’s face worried me deeply but not suprised.
If you get on one of rickshaws and drive in one of the cities in India, you as an adult will get scared very much. ( 10 yil hosteslik yaptim ve Hindistan’da layover cok yaptim)
On top of it, they were surrendered by the photoghers and curious people.
And the most of the drivers of rickshaws love to show their insane driving talents to their customers.
I am very sure that he will never forget this trip, unfortunately.
Alexanderina
Hey Alex, sorry to hear you’re working today…..even though I am begining to wish I was. My stupid comp is acting up….it takes fo-er-ver to load. I’m praying for the patience not break it or throw it out the window.
#219 / Guli
Lmao….no thigh for a month?! I’m not gonna deny that the convo was frustrating but it was also funny.
#220 / Tijen
I understand how you feel about not blogging any more if it means the JPs will get some peace but we can’t take all the blame for this. The Paparazzis can stand at a respectable distance for their pictures. They have really sophistcated equiptments now, they don’t need to shove the cameras in their faces. Majority of the pix taken when the JPs were in paris was from a distance and they came out okay, so it can be done. These paps are acting like this because there is no law that prevents them from getting up close with the celebs.
#221 / azure
I haven’t seen the video but I can imagine how choatic it was. Like Indie pointed out, the video of the paps swarming AJ in New York while she was pregnant shows how out of control these paparazzis are. Just thinking about it makes me very angry, especially when the stupid critics are shouting about the rights of the paparazzis.
BBL…..need to work on this stupid thing I call a computer.
211 | African Girl
what’s really stupid is that according to their logic, any parent who leaves their child in the company of a babysitter or daycare is negligent. and what’s even dumber is that these are probably the same dimwits who say that angie and brad are ******** the kids up with all the traveling. they need to step back, realize that these aren’t their kids and STFU about it.
This must be the price of fame, mustn’t it?
I pray that they will NEVER pay this price with their lives.
Whatever happened to Diana might happen to any of them anytime.
This is very sad; we love them, because of our love, they earn millions but they can’t live their lives as they want because of our love for them; we want to know almost everything about them.
It is very fine line!
213 | Alexanderina
gentle? somehow i don’t think angie would let him be too gentle ;).
thanks for the info on winterbottom. what an odd name. makes me think of frosty the snowman.
guys ive just seen fox live desk and they’re talking about angie, the mighty heart,rickshaw they’ve done and showing the video when micky ”assaulted”(as the host said) the pap….they even question how come jolie said that the movie is not about terrorism.
i just seen the latter part…ill let you know if i could search it in fox website.
225 l African Girl l
Jared put up the video on the first page of this thread; you should see it, it’s very enlightening. I was so scared for them watching that video. I can’t imagine having people watch every move you make and to get in your face taking pictures with cameras clicking right in your face even for just a day, and to have to deal with that all the time..it’s nuts, and it makes me respect AJ and BP even more because they handle it all with such grace.
I frankly don’t get how anyone can defend the papz about that incident with Mickey. You could clearly see how pushy all of them were.
We should all be praying for this family, for their safety and privacy.
I pray nothing bad happen to them.
there’s no way i could post the fox show guys…on their website it only has the same video in nbc when mickey ”assaulted” the pap.
225 | African Girl | - Hey AG, well I guess this good thing about me working today, is that I get to catch up on all my work, which is good for me. I am sorry about your computer, I hope you can fix whatever the problem is, so it can start working properly again
Poor Mad looks frightened. I feel sorry that they can’t even enjoy
simple pleasures in life like riding a rickshaw without anyone following
them.
231 l micro l
ITA. If this chaos doesn’t let up, they might really have to pull out of India, which, after seeing all the crazy things those photogs were doing, would definitely be in their best interests, because their primary concern has to be their safety and their children’s safety.
Seeing this, I wonder if anyone has really learned from what happened to Princess Diana..I was just a kid when it happened and even I understood that countries need to impose stricter laws against the papparazzi. I hope governments consider setting limits to how close the papz are allowed to get and what clearer rules as to what they can and can’t do. I mean, these people are celebrities and they’re constantly in the public eye but they’re just like everyone else in that they want to be able to have at least a little privacy and freedom..
To Elena: I still can’t imagine how difficult a time you are going through but know that so many people here are praying and hoping the best for you. Only time and your inner strength will dull the pain for you but if it doesn’t, don’t despair. Keep the good memories and the thought you will all be together again someday. Have faith in the Lord. He’s looking out for them now for you.
It looks like Madonna may be adopting an African baby after all. And if she is, his name is Luca. Although her rep still denies any adopton, a British magazine is reporting it is, indeed, true. They say Madonna has had several emotional visits with Luca and even spent yesterday with him, which was Mother’s Day in Malawi.
i love brad and angie, they are so loving towards eachother, they are comfortable together. thanks jared for the awesom pics!
175 | African Girl ….ITA…. :lol: all these moronic haters are losers….
ELENA…wishing you peace and love from one of your cyber friends!!!
Good day to you all!!

omg… :shock:
about their guard attacking the pap….well done!
THANK YOU JARED AND AUDREY - The pictures are lovely, and scary. Can you IMAGINE being surrounded like that?
I’ve only read the first page so far, but wanted to say thankyou to Maniston for forwarding Elena’s post in this thread. I’m having a busy time, and just can’t keep up.
I just adore the pictures of Mad holding onto Brad - and Brad holding on to Angie [of course]. Like someone before me, I end up conflicted. I love seeing them, but seeing what they have to live with…..
bbl
OMG the paparazzi are crazy i saw the video omg this is just too much angie and brad need some privacy wish them the best i willpray for nothing bad happen to them mad just looks frightened i feel sorry for him wish the jolie-pitts the best
angie 4 life
229 | sheryll | - The people at Fox News are ******** and I could do without they criticism of the JPs.
Elena- You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I am praying for you and your family.

Angelina Jolie gets my vote for being one of the most influential women in the world. While other movie stars give plastic smiles and donate money to charity, Jolie has used her celebrity status to raise awareness for the plight of the African people. She tirelessly devotes her energy to making a difference and actually sets foot on the continents she champions.

228 | gitane | - You are right Gitane, I don’t see Angie letting him be gentle toward her as well :). it is a very different last name for the director, Winterbottom, makes me think off long johns in the winter time
#235 azure
I agree with you. These photogs will invade people’s privacy.. They will break the law, step out of bound just to get a money shot. All they care about is money. They have no conscience.
~~~~
Well, I can do without the ’scary’ commentary re the rkshaw ride, pretty soon it will be picked up and carried that the JP’s are unfit parents for taking Mad on the ride…I can see it now…no offense, but I’ve read 25 posts from azure about how ‘frightened’ Mad was….let’s just let it go okay?
I meant to add — that I find that VERY strange, all the repetitive posting about that (Mad and scared, etc.). So please can we just zip it. They’re into filming the movie now, and I’m sure they’ll want to get in and out as fast as possible.
I don’t really believe in stuff like this, but I find this very interesting

Star gazing
[ 9 Oct, 2006 2353hrs IST TIMES NEWS NETWORK ]
Astro-numerologist Anupam V Kapil predicts how numbers can influence Brad and Angelina’s life.
What makes Anagelina Jolie and Brad Pitt the hottest couple?
Brad is obviously attracted to Angelina because of her fate number 4, she is born on 4.6.1975 and Brad’s destiny number (sum of his birth date) 18.12.1963 (1+8+1+2+1+9+6+3) = 4!
According to numerology Angelina’s Kabbalah number adds up to 9 which is Brad Pitt’s fate number, as he is born on 18th (1+8) = 9. If we calculate only the vowels in her name, ANGELINA JOLIE has A(1)+E(5)+I(9)+A(1) + O(6)+I(9)+E(5), we get 1+5+9+1+6+9+5=36=3+6=9.
Jeniffer, just did not have the right numbers for a long-lasting relationship with Brad. With a Scorpion Moon, Jeniffer was too possessive and emotional for the much-liberated and freedom loving Brad. This was a cramped relationship and was destined to fall apart.
What is Angelina Jolie’s real character?
Angelina’s astro chart has Rahu in the mystic sign of Scorpio, and this is coupled with fate number 4. She is unconventional in behaviour, has mystic eyes, and is a difficult person to understand.
She is reserved in expressing her real feelings, but her versatile Gemini traits enhanced by her destiny number 5 helps her mask her real identity. She has her own set of beliefs and makes her own rules, which may not always match with those laid down by the society.
The actress loves to shock people with her unconventional behaviour. Her astro chart shows that Ketu, Mercury and Sun are positioned in the 7th house and she will have to learn to balance her personal and professional life, and this has to be done soon.
Harmony in domestic life is very important for her. Though romantically inclined, her outlook on relationships is idealistic.
What’s the career graph of Brad and Angelina going to be like?
With a Gaj kesari yoga, Angelina will achieve greater heights in her career between October 25, 2006 and October 2007. During this period she is also likely to get awards. This could also be a very eventful period for Angelina at her personal front. As for Brad, he will be on a good track till May 2008.
So what are the lucky charms and colours for the celebrity couple?
Both Angelina and Brad must wear a Persian turquoise gemstone set in a ring with the sign of Gemini and Sagittarius respectively. The ring must be worn under the open rays of a Friday full Moon on their little fingers. These rings must ideally be presented to each other.
This will increase their love and they will remain loyal to each other. The spirit guardian angel of this stone will help them maintain a steady relation. Brad is also advised to wear a yellow sapphire on his first finger. Sundays and Mondays are good for their personal and professional life.
I saw the move The Queen last night and could not help but to be taken back to the days when Princess Diana was alive. When she would complain of the intrusion by the paparazzi, some would tell her that it was part and parcel of the job. That if she wanted to be left alone then she should stay at home or move to a deserted island. When she was killed the same people suddenly changed their tune and became outraged by the behavior of the very same paparazzi they once defended. So since history likes to repeat itself, its funny like that, I guess another public figure will have to die for people to get outraged again. So while we wait for that to happen, and it will, I’m actually not going to throw any cyber daggers at Mickey for taking his job so seriously. If the photog wants to sue then he’ll sue and the courts will decide who is in the right. Personally, I’d rather Mickey be hypersensitive and the Jolie-Pitts remain safe than for him to lower his guard and they end up hurt.
By the way The Queen was fantastic and Helen Mirren is a lock for Best Actress.
When Angie said the movie is not about terrorism or conflict, she basically do not expect this movie to be political. Just like Brad said in the summer, she is saying this movie will focus on the collaboration part between people of different faiths to rescue Daniel, that what they will focus on. Brad said that 3 years ago when he bought the movie, he said what he liked most about the movie is that it has ‘world peace’ theme, that people from different religions can cooperate to save a soul unlike what we hear in the news thesedays, Muslim bomber, Muslim Terrorist, Muslims hate the west, Muslims can’t befriend Christians or Jews, etc. What most people know from Daniel Peal murder is that Muslims extemists killed him but what most people dont know is that Muslims also worked their ass off trying to help him and that their hard work was highly appreciated by Mariane herself, she said in one of her interviews how the Pakistani Captain told her “I won’t allow these terrorists to hijack my Islam”. I like that this movie will not depict Islam/Muslims in a negative manner, i like that they focus more on similarities between people and not on the gaps. Of course i am not expecting anything different from respectful individuals such as Mariane, Angelina & Brad. I respect them even more.
She basically *means*
I don’t think Mad is frightened at all. He looked fined to me, may be little bit overwhelm by the craziness of it all, but he looked ( IMO) safe, secure and seems to be looking around, curious more than frightened. I’m sure he is used to this kind of attention.
Thanks for the pictures.
Elenea praying for you
Just because the haters or some people could pick up and carry away that Angie and Brad are unfit parents, do we have to shut our eyes and stop seeing the reality?
I don’t understand and accept this mentality!
I don’t think that this kind of things only happen to them in India. Brad was saying on the phone interview that the boat was in front of their house and the chopper was flying over them with a lot of photogaphers in front of the door.
They have been followed all time, the most dangerous part is in the traffic.
i agree that the papp situation is out of control. and i think what everyone is reacting to is not only how rabid the photogs are, but also how flimsy and rickety that rickshaw is. if brad, angie & maddox were in their range rover, i doubt people would be freaking out this much. so for you judgmental “environmentalists,” shove it! it’s pretty obvious from this rickshaw ride that brad & angie need all the protection they can get, even if it comes in the form of a gas guzzler.
250 | CLINIQUA | - THANK YOU CLINIQUA, you beat me to it, I was just going to write a post regarding what you just said.
250 l cliniqua
Sure. although, just to clarify, I never even mentioned Maddox, though a few others did.
Have a good time eveyone, I’m out. peace.
Brad and Angie are again a match, they are both zen masters at this celebrity chasing game. I really like them for still being graceful and courteous to the people mobbing them, and leave the tough work for their guards.
about Maddox
Mad does NOT look petrified to me . On the contray, he looked curious to me . He understands and is well aware that his parents are next to him. Just because he is young doesnt mean he is dumb. We should NOT micro analyse and interprete every expression on his face !!! Mad is fine, give him some credit.

#253 maniston
GREAT POST!!! Couldn’t agree more. The bottom line is, if you are
respectful and taking pictures at a distance, and not causing
trouble or crossing the lines set up for you, Mickey will not be a
problem for you. If you want to be aggressive, rude, trespass,
violent, loud, and frighten the children, Mickey will be in your face
so fast that getting a picture will NOT be worth it.
So I say, KUDOS to mickey, and to B&A for their graciousness to
people, and the paps can either act right or get out.
from #256 Estelle “I don’t think Mad is frightened at all. He looked fined to me, may be little bit overwhelm by the craziness of it all, but he looked ( IMO) safe, secure and seems to be looking around, curious more than frightened. I’m sure he is used to this kind of attention.”
I agree with you Estelle. Mad is used to that kind of attention. He may not like it at times but that’s nothing new to him. He is probably more upset about not being able to enjoy the ride and see more of the sights that’s why Brad & Angie looked like they were consoling him.
264 | Jubilee | - Thanks for the link, I am going to vote

GREAT POSTS you Guys (((CLAPPING)))). And I totally agree.

did you haveto tell us you didn’t vote for Brad? What’s the point.
270 | Leila - That is how I see it too. Any how, all is well. I’m sure like in France, they will have plenty of time to have fun.
Brad and Angie look beautiful and in love !!!!=)
Madd looks cute as always and i don’t think he looks scare at all, Madd is used to this craziness already and he is protected by his parents!!!
Amaya in post 215. the video was well put together as always. I just love this couple and the love that they have for not only there family but for people. They love to keep it REAL!!
I don’t care if Maddox was frightened, overwhelmed, or curiousl. All I know is the pappazrazzi was WAY OUT of line and ALWAYS has been towards this couple.
- The razzies pushed Angelina into a corner when she was about two months pregnant and started pushing and shoving till Angelina herself had to take care of the stiuation by telling these idiots to back away.
- They had no problem with flashing cameras in Zahara’s faces when she was just an infant.
- One of these razzie morons stalked Maddox to school so he could take pictures of them.
- They flew helicopters (LOUD) over their homes and parked their cars infront of their home when they returned from Namibia.
- In Namibia, these jerks hid in holes they dug to take pictures of them.
- Another razzi in Namibia sneaked into the hospital that Angelina give birth in TWO TIMES, even though he got arrested the first time.
- When Brad and Angelina first started their relationship, one papparazzi guy tried to climb the walls of their homes to take pictures. Brad had to call the police on that jerk.
- They stalked these people everyday in Paris.
- They have been chased and stalked for almost TWO years straight without any breaks from the paparazzies. And when they did get a break from them in Nambia, they got proclaimed “Colonial overloads”! WTF?
- Now this insanity in India.
- The X17 website boasts of how they stalked this couple with their son in an autorickshaw in a foreign country.
I say GO MICKEY! Get these idiots and beat them. THEY DESERVE IT!!!
273 | ? - the point? ….well, I feel bad not voting for BP and with my Bamz’s fans family here, I just to want tell them.
Are you guys sensing a backlash starting?
First Mickey, now this - “Brangelina’s Namibian IOU”
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2006/10/brangelinas-namibian-iou.php
wow I totally agree with you, Mickey has to do his job because the paps are going out of hand..
Thank you, “wow” #277!
Please do not forget the boat on the sea in front of their house in Malibu.
277 | wow | - I totally agree, the paps are way out of control when it comes to Brad and Angie, I think something definitely have to be done, because it is just getting crazier and crazier all the time. Mickey is just doing his job, he is protecting the family, and I say that anyone who mess with Mickey gets exactly what they deserve. Mickey, you ROCK!, keep on protecting our favorite family, you are doing a GREAT JOB
279 | Smith19 |
Sweetie, they’ve always been questioned and bashed by haters. There’s always been a backlash from the ignorant and the self righteous bunch. The article you posted was cleared up a many threads ago. You obviously do not know how pledges, donations, and non-profits work. The money is never given as a whole chunk.
There’s always been a constant stream of hatred from the media and public alike but the reason it’s never cut Brad and Angelina at the knees is because they don’t pay attention to the gossip and all those out to “expose them”. They know what matters in real life and what does not matter.
If they paid attention to what the media and public thinks and chose to live their lives according to what the public dictates, they would have been paranoid nervous wrecks, but they are not.
I’ll tell you who is though. Ms. Aniston. Because she does pay attention to this stuff and she does her damndest to stay the “good girl” in the public’s eyes.
There are more important things in life than what others think. We can sit here and pour our love or hatred on this couple, the point will remain that it is ultimately their lives and only they get to choose how they lead their lives. Not You. Not Me. Not the fanistons. Not even the BAMZS fans. Not the public. And certainly not the media.
My favorite picture is the one with Brad holding Maddox’s hand AND Angelina’s leg. He just looks so completely contented and happy, even in this crazy madhouse. They are fantastic, but I think Angelina is starting to waste away, she is getting so thin. Anyone else worried about this?
284 | AddictedtoBAMZs | U can see how skinny she looks from these pics?
270 | Leila - That is how I see it too. Any how, all is well. I’m sure like in France, they will have plenty of time to have fun.
Estelle, I didn’t know they are going to France. When are they going there? Not that I meant to follow them, hehehe, just curious about my favorite couple.
mean not meant.
What do u mean backlash? Backlash for what?
288 | to #279
Let them dream !!!!!!
286 | Leila - They were in France for 3 and1/2 months earlier this year, from Feb-May of 2006, remember?. All those wonderful pictures of them enjoying the city of L’amour?… :lol:
I thought the 315,000 was going to the hospital for medical equipment.
To Estelle,
Oooooops,sorry, my mistake. I thought they are going back. Thanks for replying.
#285, QQQQ…I don’t say this just because of these pictures, although they do nothing to make me feel otherwise. But no, this is a general feeling based on lots of photos, particularly those taken at the Banksy gallery. I’d love to see her put a little meat on her bones is all…
I’m so ******* sick of reading about Brang being attacked by the haters over something their bodyguard did. Know what you faniston fugs? IT’S HIS JOB! WHAT DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE TITLE BODYGUARD? These paps do nothing but harass this family and shove their cameras in their faces. You say it’s their job too, to snap pictures so they can make money. I say GET A REAL JOB! STOP HARASSING PEOPLE. It’s really cute to frighten a little kid isn’t it. GOOD JOB!
TEAM MICKEY AND TEAM BAMZS FOREVER!
No way did she look too skinny in the Bansky art gallery pics. She was covered in a trench coat and her face didn’t look too thin either.
I am trying to be realistic here.
Maddox has been traveling with his parents all over the world and must be used to mobs of fans or paps. But he has never seen a crowd of mostly Indians. He is did not looked scared to me just bewildered. Bet you he asked a lot of questions when they got back to the hotel like a normal 5 yr. old kid.
What I mean to say is backlash means they have done something wrong and they haven’t, why use the word backlash. It sounds to me like one party is jealouse for not getting the money from Brad and Angie. Everyone wants something from them but they can only give so much, some people are always going to be left out. It’s is not their fault so there is no backlash.
Wowzee Woo Woo! Sooo much B&A and so little time! But what a great predicament, too many lovely pictures of Brad and Angie! I’m glad to see them, sure, but not sure about the price….more in a sec about that.
I have to admit, I scanned through the mosh pit of thigh gate, and bailed without posting. How ridiculous, and how stupid to argue over that.
Also, dear Elena…how my heart goes out to you. I hope you are feeling better, though I know your pain will never completely go away. There’s nothing anyone can say….
About the these paps…I watched that video, and I have to agree, it made me uncomfortable. Yes, I like pictures, but even I admit I don’t want this many, especially if it means bothering them this much (at the very least), and/or making it unsafe for them and causing an accident (at the most). I don’t see anything wrong with an occasional picture of them every couple of weeks or so, shot from 20 feet away in a public place (like the Dutch airport photos), but this is entirely a different situation. The paps need to back off and give them some space. We don’t need any more pictures for a while, and certainly not like this. In fact I’d feel better if there was no news for awhile.
After all, Brad just gave that woooonderful interview about how they did not get married but they “are just as committed”!! Talk about thangs that make you go *squeeeee*! I think we can get alot of milage out of that, haha!!
I understand that it has sucks being a X fan right now but this is getting a bit desperate.Posting links with articles about that sleazy papparazzi and questioning Brad and Angelina’s charitable donations YET again!
295 | whatevs | Thank You, first of all, the woman was never ‘fat’…. during her pregnancy she put on maybe 25lbs, Shiloh weighed 7lbs (so lets say after birth she was 10lbs lighter) which means she only had 15lbs to loose. Most of her weight went to her breasts and tummy, i don’t know where all the skinny comment is coming from. Her arms and legs were always skinny. It’s not like u can see bones in her chest area…. i wish people would just give her a break….

That’s all they can come up with, Lou! haha!! They are like gnats buzzing around a punch bowl on a hot day…a useless nuisance! I wouldn’t want to be an X fan these days…..and I certainly wouldn’t want to be X! She’s crying to CCox about Brad and Angie’s fame as we speak.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt celebrated the birth of their daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, in Namibia on Saturday by donating $300,000 to help other babies in the southern African country, the government there said in a statement.
“We want to contribute to Namibia and the people who have been so gracious to us at this time,” Pitt, 42, and Jolie, 30, are quoted as saying in the statement.
Namibia’s Deputy Environment and Tourism Minister, Leon Jooste, says the money will be used to improve maternity wards at hospitals in Walvis Bay and Swakopmund and will contribute significantly to the health of Namibian babies.
“The couple is thoroughly overjoyed by the event and have expressed their happiness to be able to share this experience in Namibia,” the government statement adds.
Although Shiloh was born at a private facility, most Namibians rely on state hospitals like the ones that will benefit from Pitt and Jolie’s gift, the Associated Press reports.
The new parents also pledged $15,000 for a school and a community center that they had visited in Swakopmund.
If this organization noted in your link feel slighted by BP for not visiting their facility then they should contact BP and AJ’s representative. BP and AJ are only two people. It amazes me how blogs are so quick to count their charitable contributions, but give a free ride to the many self-serving, shallow celebrites who do nothing at all to help mankind. If there is any backlash, it is from the haters that put out misleading information and don’t bother to print a retraction when it is proven false.
#302 dragonfly,I really don’t now how they do it.Just to muster the energy daily to hate B&A and this sh#t is almost 2 years old,sad!

Great post!
300 | QQQQ
Right on! People will always try to find something to complain about when it comes to Angelina. I wish they would just give her a break, too.
After all, Brad just gave that woooonderful interview about how they did not get married but they “are just as committed”!! Talk about thangs that make you go *squeeeee*! I think we can get alot of milage out of that, haha!!

Where is that interview?
Actually Angie has always been a pretty thin person. She may weigh more at times due to certain film roles. Actually both she and Brad are very slim people except when they bulk up for a part. Some people are just lucky that way.
300 | QQQQ | - Great Post 4Q
hey, I didnt see it but wondered if anyone saw Oprah today? someone on an earlier thread said that Oprah mentioned Brad’s name on Friday..something to do with today’s show, I thought. Did anyone see it? Was Brad mentioned?
Angie is always beautiful, even in adverse circumstances: marvellous skin, a killing smile. Spiteful hags won’t ever forgive her for the major sin of never looking less than naturally stunning.
Brad is sexier than ever. No longer the doll he once was, he became a very handsome man. He lost the plastic quality of his younger days: fatherhood makes him more endearing and Angie makes him hotter. He is THE major HW star, having left Tom Cruise behind in the dust of cult craziness. And nowadays also a successful producer, a smart move against the inevitable ravages of times to come.
There is a feeling of intimacy in their pictures, of shared life and love. Even when they do not touch, B & A always seem aware of each other. They are a couple in every sense of the word, a partnership of lovers, a meeting of equals.
Together they are irresistible, the alpha couple. But this bodes ill for their peace of mind, because we cannot stop ourselves from caring. Even the hateful – sometimes sick - commentaries are a form of caring. So, B & A are never going to be able to travel incognito or to live privately.
Thus said this level of paparazzi madness is intolerable. We all contribute to the harassment by consuming the paps’ work, but do you think it would help if those who admire B & A stop reading and posting about them and let the ground free for the hate-and-spite brigade? Wouldn’t it be more sensible to push for measures – even legislation - against intrusive media? Something that was much talked about after Di’s death but never really went ahead. It is time to change things before some new disaster happens.
300 | QQQQ
I agree. She was always slim. She actaully wears clothing to give her more of a shape. As her sylist has said. In interviews she always expressed a desire to put on some weight because she is naturally angular and wants to be more full. Her mother was also natuarly thin. If you look at pictures of her mother you can see they looked the same while pregnant.
Thanks for the pictures Jared. :)
Jared, Aubrey, Can’t keep up with you. I am literally checking your website 2x a day and I am still behind .
Jubilee;
keep reminding us.

You are so right. Where can we send our petition or how do we push for this measure? Just let me know, I’m in.
Out of desperation and lack of nothing to do, I started flipping the channel, got to VH1 where they were doing the fabulous lives of hip hop
stars and these people buy 7 cars at the same time. They change their cars every year because they get bored with the color, some guy spent 1 million dollars on his cars in 2005…..yet no one is saying but they criticize
the JPs because they donate to charities. Isn’t there something terribly wrong here? Are our priorities really THAT messed up? Seriously, what kind of message are they sending? That’s it’s okay to be self-centered? I mean what else would you call buying 7 cars……you’re just one person and can only ride in one car at a certain time…..which means majority of the time thoe remaining six cars are seating idle, so pray tell what is the point of the extravagance? See, It is nonsense like this that makes me appreciate the JPs…..they could be sitting in their mansions, bragging about their cars and what not (something they sure won’t catch any flack for) yet, they put themselves out there knowing there’s a chance they might be ridiculed and their every move watched. BP alone is worth $100 million., what does he need a measly 4 million for? Why would he…they want to keep the money? And even if they wanted to keep the money, why would they make an announcement that they would be donating it? It’s like a bank robber calling the cops and telling them he’s about to rob a bank. This would fall under “world’s stupidest criminals” won’t it and the last I checked, BP and AJ aren’t stupid. Honestly, this just simple logic and I can’t understand why people keep harping on their charity giving. This is America for goodness sakes, a country that believes in checks and balances. Is it really possible for the JPs to get away with any wrong doing?
Another thing, people expect that when a person pledges a donation, they should just walk to the bedrooms and cut a check. Any accountant will tell you that’s not how it works. The company I work for, is just now redeeming pledges they made in late 2004, early 2005. There is a process and only illiterates would think otherwise.
So Radar and the rest of the idiots can carry on with their nonsense but as long as there are Hip-Hop stars spending $1 million in 1 day on 7 cars, I’ll always be grateful to the JPs.
316 | African Girl | - I am lurking, but I just want to say, GREAT POST and WELL SAID and I agree with ya.
Now back to work for me :)
#311 / Gussie
That is a very sensible suggestion and I think we should do it. I am so on board, how do we go about it? All the lawyers in the house we need your help. I’ve been feeling sort of helpless since I saw the footage on ABC News but now…oh man, I feel so enpowered :)
311 | Gussie |….i couldn’t agree more….but the thing is paps will use freedom of speech/expression as their reason for their actions esp. in this country…..these paps conveniently use these rights if it is in their favor….like what they are doing now with the family and they said that if there is demand (BAMZS fascination) then they need to supply this demand (fans)….
i totally agree that their privacy and space are being invaded and people will say that’s the payment of being famous…and we’re adding to it with our incessant fascination with this family ….but as a fan, i care for their safety and hope that what happened to Princess Di will not happen again….this family certainly not courting the paps like parasite hilton or blohan but because of their fascinating life story, people wants to know their every move….and i am not going to deny that i am part of these :) :)
anyways, i hope that Mickey and his people will always take care of this family….i don’t care how they do it as long as this family is safe….go Mickey…kick those paps’ ass and their balls!!!
316 | African Girl
I see people complain alot about what you mentioned. I complain about the over spending in Hip Hop as do the people I hang out with.
What a complete waste these haters are.
What I find annoying are people that attack those that do a hell of a lot more for humanity than those that sit around , ***** and , pick on those that do.
There isn’t one blogger here that criticizes Brad and Angelina that gives as much as these two do. Not even half or less than that. There isn’t one person on the staff of Radar that does anything for anyone. Brad and Angelina are making a difference. While others sit around and make snide comments about them wanting to “save the world’ they actually ARE doing just that. The money they donate goes to help children, women, whole communities. They are saving lives. Not wasting theirs on a blog calling them names and accusing them of not donating out of the goodness of their hearts.
GREAT post AG. thanks for it.
I’m weighing in on TEAM MICKY. I can still remember the night John Lennon was killed like it was yesterday. I’d much rather Micky choke hold every razzi in existence than risk what happened to John happen to Brad or Angie or Gods forbid one of the kids.
321 | Original Curious - I hope they will take extra extra extra precaution as well. Just the thought of anyone of them getting hurt is really scare me.
Okay this talk about John Lennon and Princess Diana are freaking me out, now my stomach is in knots
I for one am happy they have Micky to enforce some boundaries, if not they would never find some peace, apparently this particular photo journalist(excuse me I’m choking on that last part) did not get it, but I bet he does now.
WAY TO GO MICKEY!
Yeah Alex, there are many crazy b**ch out there.
316 | African Girl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Great, great post!
Envy- incurable, devastating, poisonous, impotent envy is what fuels the haters.
Well said African Girl
321 | Original Curious
and the others,try not to worry too much, we can’t do anything about it. Don’t forget, Di was in a high speed chase and had a drunk driver, Lennon was not hurt when he was in the Beatles with the same kind of madness. He got it from a crazy after he let his guard down!
All I am going to say is that Sam Phelps - the British paparazzi JUST OPEN A CAN OF WORM…
he and the other paps better watch out …
To #316
I agree with you completely. I got so sick of seeing all those lifestyle of the rich and shameless shows I couldn’t even turn my TV to VH1 or MTV. I didn’t see any Blogs about that either, but criticism for the Jolie/Pitt’s philanthropy, tons of commentary.
What kind of crazy mix up world is this when spending thousands on an outfit for your dog doesn’t get scrutiny but giving away money to the poor is. I guess because they are trying to say Jolie all of a sudden became a UN ambassodor when she got with Pitt to change her image, even though people who say that know it’s a lie.
All the hatred is just ridiculous, but I guess people want celebrities to stay shallow so they can live vicariously through them. I guess people don’t want to live vicariously through do-gooders.
AG- well said.
I finally got a chance to read all the comments on this thread. I can’t tell you all how relieved I was when I first came across this blog…well it was actually a blogspot back then. Not just because there people who were fans of Brad and Angelina as I was, but also because of the intelligence and the heart that the writers possessed. I’ve been on many blogs before and I never saw so many outright vengeful and bitter people. I had almost lost hope after seeing how many truly hateful people there were out there in the blogosphere.
African Girl, bdj, Gussie, and all the others - you have no idea how refreshing it is to read what you all write. Not trying to get mushy here, but it gives me hope that all is not wrong with the world.
And thanks Jared and Audrey for this blog and all that you do. :)
#317 / Alexanderina
Hey Alex, you still at work? Huh….I don’t mean to rub my stay at homes status in your face….or may be I do :). Aahh, don’t mind me, the day is over so come tommorow, I’ll be in your position.
#319 / jjoy
It would be crazy if these razzis get away with what they are doing using the freedom of speech rule but let’s even forget the law for a sec, Etiquette and even psychologist tell us to respect people’s personal space and even though measuring personal space varies from person to person, this space is there nonetheless. We can clearly see that the razzis are NOT respecting it. So if they can’t do it because they lack manners, why not force them by making it a law. Just as the press has the freedom of speech rights, the people also have rights to their personal space and the fact that a person is famous does not mean they forfeit it. Also keep in mind that no one is asking the paps to stop taking pictures but they should take it at a respectable distance. Right now, there is no difference between the way the razzis swarm these celebs and they way cops swarm criminals.
#320 / Jenny89
Isn’t that just the saddest thing? These people moan, groan and criticize others yet they do nothing. I don’t get the logic in that….which is why it is futile to keep arguing with them.
All the hatred is just ridiculous, but I guess people want celebrities to stay shallow so they can live vicariously through them. I guess people don’t want to live vicariously through do-gooders.

Been lurking but I love the posts. As far as people critical of what Brad and Angelina are doing.. well, I think it is because if they cant criticize it, they will be forced to look at themselves and judge whether they should be doing more. Watching greedy selfish celebs on tv wont maket them feel guilty. It might make them think well.. Im not as bad as they are or just make them feel lustful for more things, and if they are lustful for things they dont have, they are less inclined to want to give to others.
JMHO
325 | Estelle | - yeah I know, I just have to believe that Brad and Angie are taking every step there is to protect themselves and their kids; and they know how crazy it is when they go out and especially when they go to foreign countries, so I am sure that they have a lot of people protecting them, so I have faith that everything is going to be fine with them. But watching that damn video was scary to watch, all those people and the paps surrounding them, it was crazy
333 | African Girl - wait a minute AG, why are you not working today?, even Federal Courts open today. Alex, we should find jobs like AG, for we can stay home today. :)
Honestly, how can anyone compare what happened to the British photog to what happened to Daniel Pearl? Pearl was kidnapped, held hostage, and murdered; the photog was grabbed around the throat and shoved away. If you going to compare what happened to the British pap, compare it to Dan Rather getting into the fist fight at the Republican convention in the 60s, or the local journalist who were attacked by the couple who scammed people in real estate deals, or even that journalist who were attacked by Bjork.
This photog has a feeling of entitlement; he thinks he can do whatever he wants. He said something to the effect ‘I have a hotel room, here. I have a right to be here.’ Yes, he has a right to enjoy the hotel, his hotel room, and the grounds; he doesn’t have the right to suckle off of other people’s good times, especially if it’s private. His logic is a few steps away of those pervs who take pics of women’s crotches or break toilets in order to extract strangers’ excrements.
The paps can cry “freedom of speech” all they want, but even on
that there are limits. YOUR freedoms end when MY freedoms are
impinged upon. Are you free to not allow people of a race you don’t
like in your private apartment complex? NO. Are you free to yell
“fire” in a crowded theater? NO.
The paps’ so-called freedom of speech ends where the privacy of
the J-P’s, and the making of the film, begin. They are not free to
walk into their hotel rooms, climb into their cars, or shove them.
They are not free to impede them walking down the street, or to
grab them. They are not free to verbally assault them and they
are not free to jump out of a bush and frighten them. Are they
free to take photos from across the street? Sure. Even from 10
feet back. Are they free to shove each other, elbow each other,
knock each other’s cameras around? No.
You see, freedom of speech ends when it becomes assault, or
battery, or threatening, or trespassing, or stalking. Just like
having a rally in the town square. You are allowed to gather, but
you still have to get permits, not block traffic, mind noise
ordinances, etc. Aggressive paps are not following the guidelines
for freedom of speech.
testing
Finally I got to read the posts! Actually I was thinking while I was gone that Jared will have new pics and a new thread of BAMZS when I return .Well I’m GLAD he is not! The filming of the movie started today and also there is not too many articles out there at the moment and no pictures so far so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the moved out of the hotel and went to more private place! I saw the video from X17online.com and the situation was unbelievable. But as many of you said I’m really happy that Brad and Angie are trying to keep their cool. Very intelligent. And I agree with everyone who said that Mad was not looking frightened but curious .That’s what I’m getting for the pics too. As for the pap threatening to sue he is only talking from his ass. His company told him to not say anything more about it. Brad and Angie was not even there when the incident happened plus Mickey just grabbed him for a second and then he was gone. There’s no any finical damage. And he was told to stop taking pictures before Mickey pushed him but he completely ignored the command. And last but not least all this happened because Relph was trying to take Mickey’s picture not Brad and Angie’s as the media want to milk the story. So as lylian said the man has no CASE!
Plus there are some really great posts today. AG, wow, dragonfly(I was missing you today) Gussie and others .Great job!
Elena-I can understand how amazingly strong you are to go through such a pain with such grace. I admire you so much. I don’t know if time will heal your wound but I wish you the very best. I’m sure your angels are proud of you as well.
#321 / Original Curious
Oh my God, please don’t remind me. I saw the documentry and it was just weird…..this guy killed Lennon because he loved him. Honestly, there are a lot of crazies out there. Once again, I am happy Mike Brett is there to protect them….if these people are gonna behave like animals, then they would be treated as such.

I can’t copy and paste right now but I’d really like to place a big emphasis on the last part of your post….about people wanting the celebrities to remain shallow so they can live through them. That is so true…..they would like nothing more than to sit back and discuss how shallow celebs are.
#331 / Estelle
Hey Estelle How are you? It’s seems like it has been a while, no?
#322 / Stardust
Awww, now you’re gonna get me all mushy but I agree with you. I am so proud of JJ…..okay, I bet someone is reading this and going “is that something to be proud of?” and the answer is a resounding “YEP” :)
AG and remember da truth- you ladies should post your post on those MSN, CNN, and especially FoxNetwork. Brilliant post.
341 | African Girl - I know…it’s hard to say hello to everyone, when you have to go through so many craps….like walking on the street of Paris, instead of admiring the view, you have to look out for dog’s doo doo on the ground.
All I know is, I’m really disheartened at all of this negativity that the ‘bodguard’ news has wrought - and I’m sorry but Jared being the #1 site and having that post up for 2 WHOLE DAYS(BRANGELINA BODYGUARD SMACKDOWN) just helped spread the bad news further — sorry - but that’s the way I feel. Everyone comes here for B&A news, and when JJ’s thread is negative it’s gonna go far and wide…
As a result, I’m not surprised this is on ET right now….
I’m watching ET and of course the quick lead off story on ET was the Brangelina bodyguard piece showing the video of Mickey snatching that guys throat and the ‘alledged’ threat to kill him “if he took another picture” implying falsely of course it was a picture of the couple he was taking and NOT Mickey as has been first reported.
Then the second segue was a quick vid of as ET put it “Brangelina under siege” in the rikshaw.
I would hope it calms down as this certainly isn’t the atmosphere that you want surrounding this film, or this family.
Unfortunately, and as I said — the fact that the security detail was being compromised by the one ******* taking Mickey’s pic is not even being reported.
I just want it to go away.
Pune, Oct 9 (IANS) Celebrated Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Monday were on the sets of the much hyped film “A Mighty Heart”, even as director Michael Winterbottom conducted what was described as “test shooting”.
The cameras began rolling at around 2.30 pm at Sindh Society at Aundh, an upmarket locality in the western part of the city for the film that is based on the life of slain journalist Daniel Pearl.
Cameramen, photographers and the paparazzi, who were shut out at the entrance gate, quarrelled with private security personnel of the society and guards of the couple for not allowing them inside.
Sindh Society was selected for the shoot as its ambience and bungalows resembled Karachi in Pakistan where Pearl and his wife Mariane lived.

WHAT IS GOING ON???
I HAVE WRITTEN 2 POSTS??? They are nowhwere to be found. I had just posted o the ET report. Okay that’s it - I’m calling it a night. I don’t know if it’s the board, or me or what - all I know is that it’s frustrating. I had just written about what I saw on ET, and nothing is coming up…postings are still stuck at 7:23 and it’s 7:50. Come on. Anyway - I’ll post anything further on Yahoo, just to save it….perhaps will bring back here…but this is just making me tear my hair out…and I’m already pissed watching ET.

Thanks. You did the researching that Radar did not feel the need to do. It just easier to write about Angelina and Brad (plus gets them hits at there website)
343 | CLINIQUA - I agree. I saw ET where Mickey merely grabbed his throat with one hand and obviously was warning him. May be, the photogs will listen in future not to take photos when asked.
345 | CLINIQUA |
Both of your posts are here.Maybe you just have to wait a sec. Please don’t stop posting!
So AG- since the wedding is officially off, and he is after the girl with the briefcase, may I suggest a new tactic to get him back on track?….how about a new man?…any one in mind?
346 | angelah- thanks for the links.
If this paps doesn’t know it yet…he knows now that the chance of taking any more pictures have been reduced to zero. The next time he push his luck, they WILL expose him for who he is…might as well pack his bags and go home.
I have a sure feeling that we are not going to get much pics from the set as per this article:
Day One at Pune’s Zamzama Street is just about rehersals
Four layers of security guard Sindh Society as A Mighty Heart takes shape
Laxmi Birajadar & Anuradha M ane
Pune, October 9; A bearded cyclist is commuting on Zamzama Street 4th CBC at a leisurely pace, while two yellow taxis follow him. The one behind him pulls up to a bungalow, drops one of its occupants and speeds ahead. A situation that takes place not once, but four times in a row till it has attained perfection.
On Day One, in Pune’s Sindh Society, it is all about rehearsals for A Mighty Heart. Though the filming of this film was awaited on Monday, rehearsals consumed most of the production crew’s day. Though neither Dan Futterman, who plays Daniel Pearl, nor Angelina Jolie who is enacting Mariane’s role were part of it, director Michael Winterbottom was seen overseeing the scenes.
Along with his four-member team, Winterbottom was overheard saying ‘Mariane’ twice while explaining the scene to one of the actors when he gets off from the taxi at Bungalow No. 223.
Meanwhile, the already thick security cover was spruced up and the entire place was cordoned off. There were four different kinds of security covers — the local police, the personal security of Brangelina, Tops Security Agency and the regular security of Sindh Society.
The guards were seen checking the baggage and identity proof of all visitors except residents. Tops Security was handling crew members’ security while the local police kept guard around the bungalow — Nayansukh .
‘‘We have been getting immense pressure from the crew to beef up the security after a large number of media people were found scattered all over the society. Today, we have made the best efforts to keep out the media,’’ said D L Shrestha, proprietor, Security Solution and Services. Throughout the day, anyone venturing close to the shooting set-up was immediately questioned by the security personnel.
Cameramen, photographers and the paparazzi, who were shut out at the entrance gate, quarrelled with private security personnel of the society and guards of the couple for not allowing them inside.
344 | angelah |
This is beyond insane. Now they are complaining that there weren’t let inside where the filming was taking place as if though it was there right?!!!

I just want it to go away.

Earlier in the day, there was an incident of mediapersons from a national news channel being rudely asked to pack up their equipment and leave the society premises.

it goes to tell you that the security at the set is really really secure but even they are having the same problem as the hotel…
…Even getting into Sindh colony in Aundh where the shoot is taking place is very difficult. Entering the colony from an adjoining chawl, you run straight into the security guards.
After polite but firm instructions to leave the colony premises, another attempt is made to enter the colony - this time alone. The security officers at the main gate shoots a curt “Whom do you want to meet?” and thinking on your feet, you come up with the name of a firm that has its office there. Thankfully, this time, you are guided to the lane that leads to the address you have mentioned — which is actually going away from the shooting area.

353 | stardust — same here. I want this madness to cool down. Damn is that hard to ask? damn razzis, etc.
After several twists and turns, you double back to the shoot area. Two yellow colored cabs with Karachi nameplates are parked on the road leading to Zamzama, Street 4th. Security guards and a few policemen guard all roads leading to the bungalow where the shooting is on. Renowned art director Bijon Dasgupta is spotted lounging on a chair. There are production hands with their walkie-talkies and even Brad and Angelina’s private security officer Mick can be seen talking on the phone.
A friendly security officer offers one little nugget of information — Angelina was seen sporting a pregnant look.
boy, someone forgot to tell these folks that Brad and Angelina are shooting a movie and not zoo animals and that this movie is a private set.
why not have apress conference to explain this to all media. Otherwise, India is not looking like a good place to shoot a movie..

oops, it got mixed up…
#337 / piper with a lower p
The two incidents are so far apart, they shouldn’t even be brought into the same sentence. One man was met his fate because he was trying to close a bridge between cultures, while the other is motivated by Greed. In an effort to criticize the JPs, these people are only demeaning who and what DP is.
I saw the idiot photog on TV and I wanted to choke him. He carried on about having a right to be there, not thinking for a sec that so do the JPs. Honestly, this incident is an eye-opener because I used to be one of the people that say “well, if they don’t want their picture taken, they should have picked a different job” but that’s not really fair.

I fell you on so many levels. I can’t wait for this location shoot to be over. I hope this won’t happen in New Orleans for Benjamin Button. But, alas, there will always be a sect that are rabid for photos at any cost. They could care less aboout the means of getting them.

Security in India is inadequate. all an intruder has to do is give a false destination to get at the film shooting place. Apparently they don’t do it where anyone whose visit can’t be VERIFIED by a resident doesn’t get a pass.
The reporter below tried once, was turned away, then he lied, and got in, and reched the shooting area.

333 | African Girl ….ITA….and you can not reason with these paps….did you see how they provoked some of the stars yelling at them and when one get provoked and retaliate…these paps will whine and complain and some stupid idiots agree with these paps and say it’s their job…. WTF…. i believe if they ask the BAMZS nicely to take their pictures, the BAMZS will willingly pose for pictures but NO…these paps want the ONE that will make them the most money….
I would think India, to hopefully foster good relations with other American and International film crews that might want to spend money and make movies there, would act accordingly - but unfortunately from what I’ve seen of the Indian film community and celebrity, this kind of frenzy and chaos is encouraged (speaking of Bollywood stars for the most part) - in TO, when two huge bollywood stars came in - someone named SRK, and another actor by the name of Khan (not Irrfan who is in AMH), the hysteria was crazed, people were pushing and screaming (I said at the time, though the crowd was smaller, the intensity level was as mad as it was for Brad). I would hate to think that the Indian community in this region would be disheartened by Brad & Angie’s visit due to the tight security they HAVE to HAVE…and perhaps they can later on do some community things…but many people there just get so frenzied over celebs and stars, and excited to the point of crushing themselves - I think it’s going to be almost impossible.
360 | Anna — thanks for posting the whole article. I did post a couple of segments of it..but damn they got mixed up lol. This multitasking ain’t working for me so well today.
just want it to go away.

Me too
I had not been on here for about a month. Was glad all pics were being removed then. I love this family but this just justifies why I do not frequent these sites as much. These people do not deserve this and neither do their kids. I did not see Maddox smile once in any of these pics, and what seems like not so long ago he was always smiling. I don’t care if they are celebs or have millions, they do not deserve this kind of scutiny in their lives, it does not come with the territory, nor part of their job description. I would much rather see them happy in the pics because they CHOOSE to let the pics be taken then this forced invasion.
I hope they get out of there early. This is really getting bad.

I meant to say I “feel” you on so many levels. LOL.
Also In resonse to AG, I would say about 75% of top hip hop artists have charities they have established or participated in. The excess in material goods is all a matter of taste but many many do give back. That’s why they get so much respect in the community. The Fugees, Russell Simmons Philanthropic Arts Foundation, Mariah Carey’s Camp for Girls, The Fresh Air Fund, Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti & P. Diddy’s Daddy’s House are some charities that I personally attended at their functions.

I gotta say this happens with bollywood movie stars too. There was a bollywood movie with a huge star cast being filmed in New York and the Indian crowd there was apparantely hard to control. Some fans would literally stalk the cast and blog with very detailed accounts what scene they saw being filmed, who was wearing what, who was hanging out where, what hotel they were staying at, what they ate during their lunch breaks, what the name of bodyguards were, and a lot of detailed info. The Indian media saw all these pictures and stories written on all these bollywood blogs and they started to report the same information and used some of the pics.
Some of these people would check Craig’s list to see if the movie needed extras because that’s how the filmmaker decided to advertise for the extras. So they would become extras on the set and report back everything they saw and heard and all the pictures they took on some blogs.
At the time I thought these were just some dedicated fans who meant no harm and just were excited to be near the celebs….but now that all this crazy stuff is happening with the Jolie Pitt family….it scares me.
Of course there is a difference. That movie was about relationships and this is about a reporter being killed by the taliban. So the sensitivity of the subject makes me react totally different now.
This shoot is going to be complicated with all the press getting in trouble on daily basis with security people. ******* razzis. I really feel bad for B&A cuz this movie means so much to them. And I really wish things can calm down.
As for Mickey, probably I’m the only one who feels he overeacted. His job as security it’s to defend and not to attack, sure he was probably provoked but this is not the first time. There are reports of this kind of behavior since 2003. I’m not bashing him but, sometimes he needs to think first, if you go to ramey and type angie’s name a bunch of pics of razzis and reports in the hotel lobby will show up (the worst thing is that a lot of these guys are staying in the hotel), so grabing the neck of this jerk in front of all the other razzis wasn’t the best idea. I know he wants to protect them and send a messange but incidents like this one only bring more attention to them and provoke the razzis to act more violent.
QQQQ…”i don’t know where all the skinny comment is coming from.” It came from me, only me. There isn’t another mention of her weight on the entire thread. I’ve been thinking she looks very, very thin lately, and I asked if anyone else worried about that also. That’s all, no big deal. You could have responded as a friend and offered your opinion, which is that she is fine and has always been “skinny.” Instead, you wonder “where all the skinny comment is coming from” as if there were dozens, and you must single-handedly defending her honor against them all. That was pretty unfair, but it did lead to other people high-fiving you for your “great post”, so today you’re a hero. In your response you gave some statisics on her weight–how much she’d gained, where she gained it, etc… I could ask the same of you: ” you know this just by looking at her?” But I wouldn’t. I don’t take comments or opinions posted here by people who are genuine fans and long-time posters ( and I am both) as anything but their honest, heart-felt opinions, regardless of how right or wrong I believe them to be. I assume others will do the same for me, and that we can all offer concerns from time to time that are not shared by you, QQQQ, without getting our heads bitten off. I flat out adore Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and I think you were wrong to put me in the position of needing to defend myself.

I saw the ET segment and I’d like to believe anyone who saw the madness surrounding the Rickshaw will be a little open-minded about the incident with the idiot photog. if there is a possibility that the title of the last thread may have fueled the rapid spread of this horrible news, then let’s also leave room for the possibility that we can rectify it. What I mean by this is….most of the stories out there are treating both incidents as two very seperate things. They see the incident with the rickshaw as “aww look, another celebrity being chased down by paparazzis” and the Mike and the photographer incident as “what?!! A bodyguard choked a poor photographer.” Now, that’s just wrong…..Why isn’t anyone make a big deal about the fact that BP, AJ and their son were being chased aggresively by these photogs? Let’s even forget the adults here, what about the child? Why isn’t anyone screaming child endangerment on the Razzis who were riding dangerously close to the Rickshaw? Why? Well, it’s because they don’t care but we do. I believe that as long as we don’t let them forget that the razzis were being reckless in their pursuit, we can paint a clearer picture than the one out there right now. Maybe I am being overly optimistic but this is what I believe.
Three levels of security and there are still unauthorized people getting in and this is just the first week of filming. I think they need to move this production out of India.
#370, bluemoon you are NOT the only one. What Mickey did was not smart. I saw thevid footage for the first time today, and sure - while it probably was not as bad as it looked…how it ‘looks’ is the whole thing in the media…they don’t much care about anything else. They don’t care about other variables or even that the guy may have been taunting Mickey by taking his pic.
I don’t think it will amount to anything, re charges or a lawsuit, B&A will probably apologize privately to the guy/his agency, and maybe give him/his agency some photo opps - but the point is, I don’t think they’d be in a position to do that if Mickey hadn’t gone off.
This is a guy that loses his cool from all accounts a little to often - and while he’s been loyal and a good bodyguard, this kind of stuff equals liability. He should have known a video camera and other cameras were trained on him…he should know how anything that’s deemed newsworthy about this couple gets blasted across the world….so the fact that he’s teh number 1 story, not the film, not the production, not India as a hospitable country/region…but HIM - should be a wakeup call to not only Mickey himself, but also B&A.
One question - where did Mickey come from?? Was he Brad’s bodyguard…or Maniston’s….I don’t think he was Angelina’s was he??
I went to the store today and regretted it because I saw the cover of a tabloid, NE, I think. On the cover, in one corner, it says….”Brad walks in on Angelina and her ex.” I know that’s not true at all, that’s why I’m so disgusted. Why these tabloids can’t leave Brad & Angie alone. What else will they come up with?
They can write anything they want but they can’t ruin B & A. They are the most powerful couple in the planet. Haters, pls. don’t bash me. Afterall, I’m an avid fan, what can I do?
CLINIQUA-He’s Angie’s bodyguard since Tomb Raider.
374 | CLINIQUA |
I thought he was with Angie first.
Oh it wasn’t worth taking the pics and being able to view them at the expense of scaring Maddox! I’m sure he might be used to some of it, but the media frenzy is horrible and what’s the big deal? Leave them alone; give them privacy. Angelina isn’t that attractive with her hair pulled tight like that….

Good post AG, but maybe I’m being overly pessimistic when I figure that they’ll just blame B&A for taking their son on the rikshaw to begin with.
I wish this wasn’t the case - but we know how they’ve been treated in the past…I wouldn’t be surprised if In Touch has a story on it next week, blaming Angelina, and Brad being fed up and talking all the kids home to Maniston.
LOLOL
Call me paranoid…
One thing I’ll grant fanistons are good at is that they clog up the right king of blogs. They write on the US magazine blog and sites like TMZ. Let these sites know what you think and write these comments there because only then will the media here you. Who knows who reads Justjared or not. Don’t abandon this site but don’t let these well thought out comments go wasted here when they could be read by Harvey Levin on TMZ. It does make a difference because he reports what people write on TMZ to the entetainment shows.
alero - ITA and it is a shame for India because everyone is looking at them now.

This is VERY important, and I wholeheartedly agree - GREAT POST!! I always comment, and sometimes write letters to the editor — you have to let them know that B&A have a fanbase that they should cater to. That’s why I’ve told you guys to buy the rags when they have positive (few though they may be) stories….and BOYCOTT when they don’t.
341 | African Girl |
Yup. JJ is definitely something to be proud of. Sorry I got all mushy after your post about why people were criticizing B&A for being charitable.
375 | Leila |
Which ex was it supposed to be? those tabs are getting worse and worse. Do they even know that Brad and Angie are in India together now?
378 | Lisa
I disagree. She looks beautful with her hair pulled back. :)
I hope they can back the paps off of them. I do not need to see all of this. No wonder people live behind gates. They deserve better protection from the Indian government. No more pics of them being chased please.

Thank you very much for posting that. See, how the photographers provoke these incidents….quarelling with the security for not allowing them in. What business do they have there? Some people have tried to justify the paparazzis bad behavior with the Rickshaw by saying AJ and
