wth are they anyway?! she’s so losing her mind. As for the weight thing, it doesn’t go to her chin? jp

Have a nice day yall!

476 | hmmm | Okra is such an enabler. So i guess for the rest of her life, every time US, L&S and Out of Touch ‘reports’ a story on her, she’s gonna go on Okra to tell her side…

I think maybe at some point Marianne Pearl will have to make a
statement saying she didn’t realize she was black until all the
race-conscious Americans started telling her she was, and that
she wanted someone who understood the conditions in Pakistan
and the trauma she went through adn could convey it, and that
was Angelina Jolie. Maybe such a statement from Marianne Pearl
sometime closer to the release of the movie will help.

450 | remember da truth |
*******************************
heh, heh…my thoughts exactly! I was thinking, gee, I guess all these folks should just contact Marianne, write her a long letter or email, and tell her all about how black she is… SHEESH.

This argument had been done to death, and anybody still bringing it up is just trying to be divisive and onery.

Funny, X is the one always saying or hinting they are together, but VV is always more reticent. She is as much a famewhore as the likes of Paris Hilton. Go away JA, please spare us the details of you private life. No serious actress would want to be exposed that way.

#4784Q yes, and shes gonna whine again.jen got teary-eyed.and cross-eyed!

good morning, AG. yes, my mum calls her Okra. i was shocked when i heard it. had to ask her to repeat. i LMAO when she did!

I’m really perplexed that this race issue is still going on. I guess this must be an American thing, because in Europe we have no idea if MP is black or white or biracial and frankly we don’t care. Another sign of the great hypocrisy going on in the American society.

So Aniston is on Oprah again? What a joke. But you all know that being on Oprah is not everything, it’s not a sure ticket to success. But this dumb chick never learns.

I would like to hear what Vince has to say about this.

I am glad that abgie is playing Marianne Pearl. Is the fuss about it really that bad or it it just a few vocal people complaining about it all over the place?

Does anyone else feel like they need a valium ever since the Jolie-Pitts landed in India? A terrifying rickshaw ride, thigh or no thigh, Mickey’s incident, Angie right or not to play Marianne, Donald Trump and Larry King, motorcycle accident, donkeys. Whew lol.

I know, I feel that this week lasted a month lol

Patty Zutt, 49, says the film sends the message that there are “good and bad times in relationships and sometimes you have to just stay in the room – that’s all you can do during those hard times. It touched Jennifer, too.”

Adds Margaret Stent, “(The film) said that relationships aren’t luck, they’re hard work, and I think that was really meaningful to people – Jen got a little teary-eyed when she was talking about it, too. It was personally meaningful to her.”

So here’s her new angle guys, her latest way of getting the Mini Van Majority to feel sorry for her. She’s going to use this film to to oh-so-subtly imply that Brad bailed out on their marriage too quickly without working hard enough, he just cut and ran off with Angie because she gave him a stiffy. I can hear it now. What a piece of work.

Hey AG, how are you girl? I called it a few ago or so, I said that the X would end up on Okra before the end of the year, and she is going on Okra, it is really pitiful. Yeah Oprah should be crown, Oprah Winfrey Queen Enabler.

=========================

There was a time that I use to like Okra, Well, now I dont even want to voice how I feel about her, I have don’t watched her show in about 5 years. Nor will I ever again.

476 l hmmm l
Chin and her endless coattail riding. What a loser. Wonder if she’ll ever realize how irritating she is.

Mrs. Lenny @ 10/12/2006 at 11:17 am

# 489 lookwhaticando~What did she do to turn you off so? you don’t have to answer,I’m just curious. I know a lot of people that feel as you do .but they can never give a ligitimate answer and to my ? when i ask why and what did she say or do. Im just curious.
Peace~`

Yes. And Brad working hard on this “Loveless relationship” was to understand and comfort her insecurities and neediness. Her ambition to be an A list actress while he was already on the top. Accompany her to every red carpet event as American Sweetheart’s hunky husband and be the Hollywood “Golden Couple” .And of course waiting for her to be comfort enough, responsible enough, mature enough, famous enough and generally available enough to have a family in his eighties. And of course without taking back anything.

I wonder what will US Weekly will do now lol , maybe we can expect more stories on her like the one from last week :D

Mrs. Lenny @ 10/12/2006 at 11:26 am

There is a new thread on J/A. Oh brother.
Peace~

Hmmmm. I guess she does not learn from life’s lessons. She does not even practice what she preaches. If she (and Vince) is trying hard to make the relationship work, why is Vince so alone in London? Just wondering ….

I keep reading about people who object to Angelina playing Marianne because she looks black and she does have some black blood in her and Angelina doesn’t.

But do people like “SR” and “Michelle” understand that this movie is not about a black woman losing a white husband. It’s about a woman who lost her husband because he was a reporter who was in Pakistan and got beheaded by the Pakistanis. It didn’t make her pain any greater or less just because she looks Black and had a white husband. And how that would not affect how Angelina portrays those emotions. Do you understand that this movie is not about a Black/Puerto Rican/ Chinese/ French woman who was look for justice for the death of her White husband? This is about a woman who was pregnant and went in search of finding the justice for her husband.

Jennifer Lopez, a Puerto Rican playing Selena, a Mexican is a different story because in the movie, it did deal with how there is a prejudice against Mexicans. And how Selena’s father was a Mexican who worked in America to support his family and their financial situation was poor because they were Mexican immigrants and trying to make it in America.

Kirsten Dunst getting flack for playing a French queen would bring flack also because their is long history between Americans and the French and it isn’t the greatest. So for her to play one of the most well known French figuers from history and getting criticized for is understandable.

My point is that the movie about Selena and Marie Antoinette does have to do with their ethnicity, race and the country they are from.

The story of Marianne Pearl is about a pregnant woman who lost her husband and was trying to find justice. Those people who killed Daniel Pearl killed him because he was an American Journalist. As far as I know Futterman and Jolie are both Americans. And Angelina Jolie is part French like Marianee Pearl, so she would be able to pull off a French accent. Also because she is a mom and just give birth herself, she can relate Marianne being pregnant back when she was in Pakistan looking for Pearl’s killers.

Renee Zellwegger didn’t get flack for playing a Brit in Bridget Jones’ diary.

Halle Berry is not getting flack for playing a White woman in an upcoming movie.

These women are not being criticized and neither should Angelina Jolie.

So here’s her new angle guys, her latest way of getting the Mini Van Majority to feel sorry for her. She’s going to use this film to to oh-so-subtly imply that Brad bailed out on their marriage too quickly without working hard enough, he just cut and ran off with Angie because she gave him a stiffy. I can hear it now. What a piece of work.

“…without working hard enough…”. This made me laugh ….I guess she expected Brad to work hard enough on himself so he’d stop wanting children…

You know….a thought came to me suddenly while I was washing a vase at the sink:
I remembered the quote from Angie, way back:

“I’ve been painted as the Wicked Witch of the West and a marriage wrecker, but all I’ve ever been to Brad is a shoulder to cry on” Jolie said. “Half the world believes we had an affair and I’m the one to blame for his split, but the truth is I was there to try to help him through his pain. He longs to be a father and he’s been in emotional turmoil for a long time because that hasn’t happened for him”.

The sentence “He longs to be a father and he’s been in emotional turmoil for a long time because that hasn’t happened for him” is not about whether Angie was a homewrecker. It is about what she knew FROM BRAD as being the reason his marriage ended.

Angie had given us the real reason for the Brad-X split long ago.

the x is giving the performance of a lifetime right now with the help of the okra show. To bad she cant deliver in movies. She has just took her game to a whole new level of shistyness. Sad woman sad woman

I think that (what you just referred to) is a tabloid story and Angelina denied saying those things.

You’re so right, dragonfly. New angle but in the end essentially the same old angle. And her fans love it and can’t get enough of heartbroken, sweetheart X.

Thanks for the correction about the Oprah Show. I have watched her show many times and I did not recall seeing MP on the show. I am glad that she had Marianne Pearl on her show. However, I stand by the comments made about having “poor Jen” on the show yet again to explain her lovelife and maybe, maybe not “breast implants”. Thanks again.

why are ya’ll bent out of shape about chin being on Okra again? what else has she got to do? NOTHING! that’s how truly sad her karmic train wreck of a life is these days. there’s nothing she can do or say to change what is. brad’s in india with angie and their 3 kids, shooting a film he’s producing (which is getting AMAZING free publicity thanks to the pigmentation obsessed!), saving the world, riding high on the success of the departed and being considered for an oscar for babel.

and what’s chin got? Okra and a phony position as VV’s beard. i say, let her have them! she’s hanging on by a thread!

#495 Anna,obviously,ur a tabloid “frek”…..
