Thanks Jared for the new thread and pic, I love that picture, even with that look on his face, Brad looks HOT. I can’t wait to see Babel, it is going to be fantastic

what a sexy snarl!

It’s a good film, a bit long, subtitled, frontal femal nudity, but the acting is on point. Big premiere? I doubt it. How can you have a big one when it’s been at so many festivals and so many pre-screenings? I would love to see Brad, Cate and Bernal on the red carpet. Three in demand actors. Hot, hot, hot!: here’s a funny review from someone who went to a screening. I was LMAO. It seems like someone was jealous of Brad:

And… Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett did a good job as usual, but the desperation in Brad Pitts eyes throughout the whole movie felt almost as if he was begging for an oscar - like: “George Clooney got one, now I want one, too!”.

Hiya Gitane and Maniston, ITA with you ladies, the man is SEXY and just hot SEX :)

Morning Alex, gitane and the rest of the BAMZS Fans!

I can’t wait for November 10th for this movie to make its way to my city. Remember NY/LA don’t forget to get out there on Oct 27th to support William Bradley.

BBL, I’m off to a meeting.

Jolie4ever @ 10/23/2006 at 11:04 am

Brad’s looking reallllllll good

Jolie4ever @ 10/23/2006 at 11:07 am

sorry, forgot to say good morning/evening to all :)

bamzs 4-ever @ 10/23/2006 at 11:08 am

Good morning everyone! Thank you Jared and Audrey for the new thread. Love Brad!

I love that Braddy pic…yum. Wonder if he makes that face at Angelina right before he chases her around the bedroom. Muahahahaha. Eat your heart out Maniston.

‘Rina & Maniston

hot sex on a platter!

i’m going to have find that song now :)

Hay ya’ll! These pictures just put me in mind of the quotes from Inarritu about what Brad was going through personally at the time this was being filmed, and the conversation Inarritu said he had with Brad one evening in his trailer……he said Brad was going through “a beautiful experience” and Brad revealed to him that he had “fallen passionately in love Angelina”, and that he did not wish to make Jennifer suffer, but he had to be with Angie, that she “make it insane” LOL, so I guess that means Brad told him he’d go crazy without her.

I think Brad called upon and was able to use those new feelings Angie was stirring up in him….intense passion for a soulmate and lover, his new role as dad to Maddox, etc…and channel them into this intense role.

This was the beginning of what he called “not only going after interesting roles but having an interesting life”. This captures the beginning of his transformation into family man, and if he does win an Oscar, I feel that is why.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Brad Pitt is in the best place of his life. He has a loving and devoted relationship with Angie and their three children then his career took on a much higher dimension. He is Hollywood’s IT man, the biggest movie star globally and a successful movie producer. His life and career is smoking hot! I can’t wait to see Babel.

No WONDER I couldn’t get onto this site, busy much? A ray of sunshine from JJ on a cloudy Monday. Goooood morning! Hot hot Brad for breakfast.

thank you for the little tid-bits. Great to hear Brad talk about their relationship like that.

I wonder if they will be back by then to walk the carpet for the LA or NY priemere?

——————————

Personally, I don’t think they will be walking the red carpet together for this film. It’s too small, and too intimate, and too indy for the kind of ‘Brangelina’ circus that would ensue - it would take the focus off of the movie, and individual performances.

Brad & Angie will save the red carpet walk for Oscar, and maybe Oceans 13 (that calls for a circus), when it releases.

Thanks JJ and Audrey…

Hey can someone give me the link to the video, when Angie gets really emotional and starts crying. It was for World Orphans in Oct or Nov 2005. many thanks. I somehow lost the link….

So how is everyone doing today? BRB

wow that man is sexy at any profile ………. good lord……… lucky woman aj………….

couldn’t care less what genre…won’t be seeing a pitt-flick.

Well then I guess it’s just cable tv reruns of the sit-com hackery that was ‘friends,’ and a constant running loop of ‘Leprechaun’ & ‘Picture Perfect,’ for you, eh?

Leave the great performances, artistic endeavors, and culture to us brangelina fans.

SANITY NOW! @ 10/23/2006 at 11:23 am

I can live without photo #4!

What a nice thing for us, Jared, on a Monday morning when no one really wants to be at work — handsome pictures of Braddy! You really spoil us that’s why I always go to your site when I some free time. I never even bother to go to other sites anymore — most of the time they have the same thing that you do anyway, except that your Brad/Angie threads are much more interesting.

Message to Brad:

Now listen Mister, you get home right now and let me wash that body free of all the dirt. My goodness, what were you thinking playing in all the dirt!? Now I’m going to have to scrub you real good and oil your body and add some nice soft fragrant power to your ‘privates’ and just punish you for getting into such a pickle. Honestly, I’m just going to have to take you to bed without any clothes tonight and teach you a good lesson!!! HA! HA!

I’m sure he can teach me a few!! HA! HA!

bamzs 4-ever @ 10/23/2006 at 11:26 am

I don’t understand those of you who say that you are a non fan. Why do you waste your time and engery to write something then? If you don’t have anything nice to say, SHUT UP!!!!

Dragonfly: Thanks MA! Nice reading.

Ha ha ha! Maria, what an imagery so early in the morning! Now you got my imagination going on and on … sheesh, now I’m coveting Angie’s man and Madd’s, Z’s and Shi’s dad — shame on me!

STOP RESPONDING BACK TO THE ‘HUMMING’. IT’S WHAT THEY WANT — STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Briseis: How you doing Girl? Listen Missy, it’s NEVER, NEVER too early or too late to have thoughts of a naked Brad in your head. I mean, the smile that comes on my face when I think of that man without any clothes on while I oil his body — WHERE’S THE ICE I’M GETTING REALLY HOT HERE!! HA! HA!

Thanks Just Jared. I am looking forward to seeing Babel. I must say Maria#33 your imagination knows no limit. You have managed to write a very good sexy post without one bleep word. You are a pro. You have made a dull Monday brighter and fun.

Thanks Jared for the new thread.. Bradforums has the same picture but full page here.

Brad looks yummy as usaul..

Dragonfly I love what Alejandro said, He repeated something similar at the TFF.

Whew, thanks Maria. You really made my morning. I am at home nursing a bad cold and fever and feeling really rotten, knowing that no matter how I feel I have to buckle up and go to work tonight. But your post, which bdj has rightfully commended as being sexy without one x-rated word, really made me feel good. Thoughts of a naked Braddy have been making me feel better — gotta pop in the MAMS dvd, then Legends of the Fall, and then Meet Joe Black, and finally Troy — hopefully those movies will help me really get better by the time I have to go to work tonight!!!

Thanks Just Jared. I am looking forward to seeing Babel. I must say Maria#33 your imagination knows no limit. You have managed to write a very good sexy post without one bleep word. You are a pro. You have made a dull Monday brighter and fun.

Hey BDJ: How you doing today? I’m a true believer in getting a point across without using ‘naughty’ words. Now, when the time comes and you see a ‘naughty’ word from me, it’s going to be because I’m truly, truly angry. We don’t use ‘naughty’ words at home and my niece is learning that she can diss a person without using them. It’s funny how we say ‘curse’ for ‘naughty’ when it’s really not a curse. A curse is, “I hope you hair is infested with lice and a thousand washings will not remove them”. Now, isn’t this what we would like to happen to all those people ‘humming’? I know I would love it. HA! HA!

Paris Match @ 10/23/2006 at 11:51 am

Paris Match magazine May 2006

“Alchemy is perfect. Last summer Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Director of Babel, entrusted to Paris Match : “One evening, after one day of shooting, Brad and me discussed in his room, He was like a little boy which discovers Love. He told me how He fell instantaneously and passionately in love with Angie. He was regreting to make suffer Jen (Aniston) for which he has a sincere affection, but he cannot fight, Angie makes it insane….”

At TIFF Iñárritu said Brad was going thru a very beautiful experience as a human being and it came out in the film.

bamzs4ever, Maria, and julia, yeah, as you can see I just adore those remarks from Alejandro! I am no longer sure what the exact source of them was, and I wish I could post the whole thing, but I lost them.

His comments just really struck me because they were so wonderfully pure and genuine. You could tell Inarritu had no hidden agenda or ulterior motive for saying those things, they were just merely his observations and happiness for Brad at the time.

I am planning on seeing Babel as soon as I can, but it may not rotate through our theaters here. If not, I will buy the DVD for sure.

D Richards @ 10/23/2006 at 11:52 am

Oh-My-God…Brad looks SO delicious!

Briseis: Ahhhhhh girl, you feel better. I know watching Troy when the little boy goes into A’s tent and you see that fine butt will cheer you up real good! You hang in there and take care of yourself, OK? Glad I could cheer you up. Oh, play the M&MS with the missing bit……….you know the longer sex scene………..that will make you feel better!! HA! H A!

can’t stand brad pitt and won’t be supporting any of his films.

Message From Z:

This morning, I woke up in a state of confusion, as I could not understand why my hair was in such a state. I mean, if I’ve told Daddy once, I’ve told him a million times — he doesn’t know how to comb my hair and needs to stop trying so hard. I mean, here I am in my million dollar bangels, nice dress and sexy shoes, and he’s got me going out with my hair in a state. I know he loves me the way I am, he doesn’t care how I look, but Mum’s going to have to have a nice chat with him about my hair. He even forgot my pretty clips!! If my Dad wasn’t the most beautiful man on the planet, I would just scream, but since he is the most beautiful man on the planet, I’ll forgive him this time. Oh, and for all those nasty ladies who are going to say bad things about my hair, I only have this to say, “I have Brad Pitt and you don’t”. Oh, I have to go now, that little sister of mine is starting to cry and I’m just soo tired of her already. She needs to go back, but Daddy has said I have to get use to her. Oh, do I have to? OH, I will, then.

That poster was indeed a bit on the irrational and jealous side. How in the f* can he distinguish that? The desperation in his eyes, may have had a little something to do with his being a ‘desperate’ man in ‘desperate’ circumstances, your wife getting shot in the Morrocan desert, on the verge of death, with the two of you being abandoned by your tour bus..tends to make a person a bit ‘desperate about the eyes.’ What emotion would that poster have called on if he were an actor in that situation? Nonchalance?

Hi Frenchy! I think a person who is a good actor has the ability to convey his/her thoughts through their eyes — it’s very important. Bette Davis (my favourite actress ever) had a scene in a movie where she’s listening to her husband begging for his medication while she’s watching him die — when the camera zooms in on her face — her eyes where just unbelievable. I remember when I was young girl and saw to ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ — in my opinion the best movie ever made — when the black actor, Brock Peters, who is accused of rape, is on the witness stand, his eyes told the pain he was feeling, as he knew he was never going to be freed by the white towns people. His performance was amazing, but he did not win an Academy Award. In those days, black people were lucky if they were even nominated. Thank goodness those times have changed a bit, although in my opinion, Denzel Washington was robbed of his Academy Award for Malcolm X. You have a nice day, OK? Can’t wait to see Babel when it hits New York.

I love those comments. This also tells us that during this period, I think he and Maniston maybe had some kind of casual verbal agreement to not date anyone seriously while in the midst of divorcing. This way it wouldn’t look like one or the other party got ‘left’ for someone else. Mind you, I’m sure it was all Aniston’s doing - especially since we KNOW from her own VF article that Brad told her about his feelings for Angelina. This probably made Aniston get some kind of agreement or ‘no dating’ non-binding clause. I truly think this is why she decided on the more vengeful attack mode…not because of what went on within the marriage, but what occurred AFTER. She viewed Brad hooking up with anyone, but especially Angelina (because their had been tabloid talk of an attraction) as making her look bad. Let’s face it, that’s all she REALLY cares about anyway. Consequently when Brad is having a heart to heart with Alejandro, I think this is what he is referring to - and why he is explaining, look I care for Jen and I don’t want to hurt her by dating someone else so soon - but I have to go for self. LOL What’s his, ya know? Angie was driving him crazy. You can see it in those rail pictures - where he’s looking at her like she’s a 4 course meal. LOL

++++++++++++++

I hate to burst you guys’ bubble, but I’m pretty sure Inarritu denied he saying this. Especially the part about X! Think about it - Brad hadn’t said a word about what happened, so why would Inarritu feel free to talk about a private conversation where Brad confided something like that in him? None of Brad’s closest friends EVER said anything about the split, so why would Inarritu? Furthermore this quote implies that Brad cheated on X with Angie - “He was regreting to make suffer Jen (Aniston) for which he has a sincere affection, but he cannot fight, Angie makes it insane….” From all that we’ve been able to piece together Brad had one foot out of that marriage before he even met Angie in January 2004 and the marrige was already over by the summer of 2004 and both of them knew it. More than likely at that point X had known about his feelings for Angie for quite a while. So why even bring hurting X into the convo? By the time Brad got to Morocco to shoot Babel X was a tiny dot in his rearview mirror.

Sorry, but I think this is another example of how mags take partial quotes or take them out of context to change their meaning. Paris Match is about like People mag - they’re more legit than Star, but it ain’t Time mag when it comes to accuracy or verifying a story!

Paris Match @ 10/23/2006 at 12:39 pm

69 | Passing Through | Well because of what he said at TIFF, i believe it is true…. and it doesn’t suggest that he cheated. Brad knew that X would be ‘hurt’ if he started dating Angie, so soon after the seperation, but he couldn’t help it - he had to go for it…

69 | Passing Through

He may have said he regreted hurting Jen because he had put up with her so long that he knew exactly how she would take it. There was no turning back for him and no way that X was going to lose her mind over this (the publicty was no doubt killing her and making her the woman scorned) That’s the kind of guy Brad is, to even take her feelings into consideration while in the midst of a hirlwind of emotion. Love him, he’s so nice.

Thank goodness those times have changed a bit, although in my opinion, Denzel Washington was robbed of his Academy Award for Malcolm X. You have a nice day, OK? Can’t wait to see Babel when it hits New York.

66 | Maria
++++++++++

Maria - You DO NOT want to get me started on the subject of Denzel getting robbed of his Oscar for Malcolm X. He BECAME Malcolm X. I thought it was one of those rare performances when an actor is playing a real-life person that the actor actually transforms himself into that person. When they announced Pacino’s name you could see Denzel deflate in disbelief. I was standing up yelling at the TV. It was a total injustice and the Academy should’ve been ashamed of themselves. I don’t think Denzel was as good in “Training Day” as in Malcolm X and that it was a “Yeah, we effed it up the last time” Oscar. BTW - I only ever saw about 30 minutes of “Scent of a Woman” because Pacino annoyed the sh!t out of me!

I meant wasn’t going to lose her mind

Ladies, we’ve all been thinking that Brad would kick DT’s butt, but I’ve just had a thought — ‘newly formed’. Brad doesn’t have to beat DT, Angie can take him on as he’s a big —–. Remember the word Angie calls Brad in M&MS –the one she calls out to John after he’s called her a ‘Chicken S—’? Well, that’s what DT is, so Angie can throw him out in the trash where he belongs. Gee, I feel much better now.

I hate to burst you guys’ bubble, but I’m pretty sure Inarritu denied he saying this. Especially the part about X! Think about it - Brad hadn’t said a word about what happened, so why would Inarritu feel free to talk about a private conversation where Brad confided something like that in him?

———————–

LOL, see my post #67 as to why Brad may have felt he was ‘hurting’ Jen…very obviously she is easily mortified and humiliated and he knows that about her…which is why even after the split he was thinking of how his new relationship would impact her, but not enough to NOT start a new life with Angie. He just continued to care about her feelings like the good man he is. Until of course, the VF article, then it was - F* this b*. LOL I actually think the VF piece freed Brad up to not only live his life, but start right in on Baby Shi’ — of that we can all be grateful. So in a way, we should Thank Jeebus for the VF piece every day. LOL

Did you guy’s see the thing on Jared’s home page about X buying baby clothes this weekend? The b!tch has sunk to a new all-time low. First she claims that she and VV haven’t broken up. Now she goes into a trendy store and buys tons of clothes for a newborn and one year old. Hint, hint. This ho is still playing that “I want kids” game and I hope to God the US mag calls her bluff on this stunt, too! Truthfully the clothes could be for Coco Arquette or on the kids of the other Goddess Circle women, BUT…the mere fact that she’d chose to go baby clothes shopping in the midst of the “Are they or aren’t they broken up” mediawhoring episode is downright pathetic.

Darn, PT, you had to throw in some common sense and rational thinking when we were having a sexy Brad Monday morning party! lol :)

Thank you, Jared and Audrey.

X is getting her a$$ handed to her on Perez, he has a photo of her with a pinochhio nose and the posters there are ripping her to shreds. I hate that site but not today!

Jon already did, at least verbally.

I don’t think Angie would even bother because he’s already repeated these comments three times. And not many shows covered them and if they did, they were insulting him for being stupid. He’s obviously looking for PR since he knows that his show is sinking and that he’s a dull interview/person. Has anyone seen him on Conan? It’s so painful to watch because Conan is doing all the work and getting all the laughs.

#80: PT: Ohhhhhhhh, you couldn’t have yelled louder than I did at the TV!!! I went to see Malcolm X in Harlem when I was younger and heard him speak. I live in New York, I saw Malcolm on TV all the time. I knew that one day he would realise that the National of Islam’s dirty little leader was a creep and turn away. Malcolm was speaking in Harlem and I was invited by several of my friends to go with them. I had to sit upstairs — you know the separation of women and men — and listened to this man. He was AMAZING!!! I truly loved Malcom after that. I didn’t always agree with some of the things he said, but I respected that he had the ‘—–’ to say it. Denzel had him down to a tee!!!!!! The way he walked, talked — everything!!!! ANNNNNNNNNND, I agree with you on Training Day — didn’t come close to Malcolm. It was one of those, ‘Ooops, sorry, we should have given it to you for Malcolm’ deals. I own a copy of Malcom, and every now and then I watch it and remember the time I saw the ‘real’ Malcom speak, because Denzel takes me there. Gee, I better stop, I’m aging myself!! HA! HA!

Hi Madison:

Oh, I try to avoid any show that man is on. I always have to have a mint in my mouth when I see him. He makes me ill!

PT: Yeah, yeah, we saw X’s bit on buying baby clothes. Who cares? Not me. I read, then go to the next. Can’t be bothered with her and her silly life. Lucky baby, though, unless she’s buying clothes for one of her dolls. I think she still plays with dolls as she can’t play with boys. HA! HA!

I understand what you guys are saying and I thought of that, too, but my basic problem with this quote is that Inarritu is talking publicly about something that Brad himself wouldn’t address. I just seriously doubt that he would say something like that when Brad has been so careful about not addressing the divorce publicly.

I can easily see Inarritu making the comment that Brad was falling in love with Angie during the filming of Babel. What I can’t see is him saying that Brad ” fell instantaneously and passionately in love with Angie”. Doesn’t that imply that Brad fell for her in January 2004 and not April 2005 or even January 10, 2005, the day AFTER the separation was announced? And that Brad got out of the marriage with X because of he fell for Angie and not for any of the reasons we KNOW existed before he met Angie?

X-17 has new pictures of Brad from the filming of his commercial in India

D Richards @ 10/23/2006 at 12:59 pm

Whats up with these sleazy old jerks taking shots at Angie. First Michael Douglas then Donald Trump. These jerks both have less than desirable history’s, both of them leaving their wives for younger women, sleeping around on their wives.
Are they scourned men? Did they hit on Angelina and she turned them down?….

#84 Passsing Through

ITA that the X is a pathetic mediawh**re. Why buy baby clothes where the papz can see her? And yet people still call Brad and Angie famewh**res when they are just going on with their lives. While the X who has nothing to promote (except her 1 day Broadway thing) right now is still trying to stay in the limelight — and yet covers her face with that plastic water bottle when the papz do spot her. Gosh, she is so pathetic it’s unbelievable — and yet she still can claim the loyalty of the so-called Minivan Majority (I hate the term since I love my Minivan — gets me and my family whereever we want to go in comfort).

I hate to burst you guys’ bubble, but I’m pretty sure Inarritu denied he saying this

OK, I agree with PT. I don’t think Brad would want something so private discussed, and I don’t think anyone that knows him would disrespect him in that manner. I mean, come on, we all know Clooney knew everything going on, but didn’t say anything. Same thing with Matt and the rest of Brad’s friends. If he himself doesn’t discuss it, why would his close friends?

Oh and PT — next time you want to bust our bubble — do it in the late afternoon — let us have our nice feelings before you come and pop!! HA! HA!

I understand completely lol Well, this interview was back in 2004 and I’m a huge Conan fan so I watch the show no matter who the guests are…welll unless it’s…someone I really don’t care for.

____________________________________________
Clooney didn’t/doesn’t know squat. He even said it on Larry King Live. He didn’t know how Brad dealt with the divorce or the headlines. This is when he explained that Brad was not a ‘friend, friend’ but someone he works with and coinsiders a ‘working friend’ Clooney’s also said he maybe, maybe talks to Brad 1x a month.

#93. D. Richards: Hey girl. Just look at those two. They are UGLY men, who run after younger women, wishing they had THE woman. Both their wives are very pretty women, but it’s not the woman they would have like to have had, hence, the trash talk. That’s all it is ‘Trash Talk’. Like anyone thinks these two men are something to look at — YUCK AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!

well he did make the comments at the TFF I heard him say them myself.

#100: Of course he said he didn’t. He wouldn’t say anything on Larry King or any other place. That’s what a friend does. Not talk about things he knows.

He did say that Brad was not a close friend he’s one of the people he enjoys working with and they’re friendly but the are not good friends. Those are Clooney’s words

ITA with this statement:

To Kill a Mockingbird’ — in my opinion the best movie ever made —

Lively as always in here…..how is everybody….. ? I have to agree
with PT that it is very odd that Alejandro would reveal that kind of
insight about Brad, especially knowing at the time what a tabloid
whirlwind was circulating around Brad & Angie at the time. He
would have to be an idiot to have said that openly and created a
poor futuristic relationship with one of his stars knowing the film
wouldn’t be released until now. Just doesn’t make much sense
logistically. I am curious to know if there were ” qoutation” marks
around what he supposedly said. If not….. same ole media twiting
to launch more sales IMHO.

Ver nice pictures

Brad & Angie will save the red carpet walk for Oscar, and maybe Oceans 13 (that calls for a circus), when it releases.

27 | CLINIQUA

That’s my opinion too.I think that they will first appear together at the oscars and i already feel sorry for the other stars that will be there.They just will disappear the minute Brad and Angie show up.It’s going to be their night.I just can’t wait.

Iñárritu comments in Paris Match was an interview.. He has never denied publicly the comments.

I think B&A first red carpet will be the Golden Globes.

Paris Match @ 10/23/2006 at 1:28 pm

Re - Paris Match, the interview was done in summer of 2005 and it was revealed in spring 2006. If that mag just wanted to play along with the tabloid crap that was going on thru 2005, they would have published this tidbit then, but they waited almost a yr….

I too heard of George’s “We’re not close friends” comment…but it was on Best Week Ever’s blog so I don’t know how reliable that is. But when I first read it, I just assumed GC meant that he and Brad had a one night thing and whenever they’re together things aren’t awkward because their friends….perhaps that’s just in my mind. :) I’m obivously kidding. BTW, I hope everyon is having a great Monday and aren’t having a”case of the Mondays”

The man said almost word for word what did in that Paris Match article on the red carpet in Canada about how Brad was in such a wonderful place.

Believe it or not, it’s not like Brad himself is keeping how he feels about his life with Angelina secret. Paris Match is equivilant to Time and/or Newsweek

Clooney made those comments on Larry King Live. I watched it .

Clooney’s a poser.

I was refering to the article not what AI said or didn’t say @ the
TFF.
At the TFF did he really mention BP didn’t want to hurt JA?
Speaking on BP’s beautiful experience and how it came out in the
film is very different than revealing how insane AJ made him and
how he didn’t want to hurt JA. JMO.

125 | Moi Jade
________________________________-

That’s not what he/she is talking about. AI said almost word for word what he did in the Paris Match article about Brad being in such a wonderful place while filming and how beautiful it was to watch. He didn’t get into the whole Aniston thing but if you believe one there is no reason to not believe the other.

I think we are having a Babel moment.

126 | Hubba | I don’t know why poeple find it so hard to believe that Brad would open up to someone about his emotions, its not like this man was a stranger, he knew him for yrs…. Also its not like Alejandro went to US/People etc to tell this story, it pertains to the emotions he was going thru while doing an intense movie…He was going insane with love, but he was also sad that X had to get ‘hurt’

If u notice all the interview where Brad has opened up, even pics of the whole fam is done overseas….

I think Inarritu did talk to Paris Match. To him, French is far away from the US, so it probably doesn’t cross his mind that he needs to be discreet, especially something he doesn’t consider as damaging to anybody involved. On a side note, I have to share with you guys something I read in Paris Match last year regarding Nicolas Sarkozy, the French minister of the Interior. It made me raise my eyebrows, and I couldn’t help comparing the situation to B&A’s. We are only a pond apart, but we are like of different time periods. The PM article said that Sarkozy and his wife were having marital problems, and they wanted to give themselves the summer (of 05) to work things out. They talked about what he was doing, mostly having his hands full with all the gov problems, and about her, they said, she was spotted sight seeing in New York with her boy friend (he is the guy whose company organizes public forum, like Davos). The whole thing was treated in PMatch openly, without any sense of scandal at all. No hint of blame on whoever.The impression I had from reading the article was that it’s perfectly natural in France, when you have marital problems, to try to work it out, and if it means you have to spend time with you paramour to see if you really are into that person or not, then so be it. Can you imagine something like that happening to a politician here?I heard lately that Sarkozy is back with his wife. And compare that to B&A’s situation. BP fell out of love for X, fell in love with AJ, divorced X to be with AJ, and he is crucified. What do people want him to do? Be unhappy his whole life, and by the same token make X unhappy her whole life? And people blame that Peterson guy for staging his wife’s death. I think BP picked the only honorable solution possible. I would feel sorry for X, if she had any feelings of love (no matter how small) for BP (or for VV), but she doesn’t. She is happy as long as either of them let her stay under favorable spot light, and not impede on her movie career.

Anyway, Alejandro Innaritu indeed talk about Brad’s beautiful experience at Toronto, and i heard that myself , it is in a clip from TIFF

#93 D Richards -
————-

Well, I think it’s less that they actually hit on her - but more that she really makes them see the realities of their situations. That they’ve essentially had to pay women to be in their lives (and I’m sorry - CZJ would NOT be w/ Michael Douglas if he was a 6th grade math teacher….but I have no problems thinking Angie would STILL be with Brad if he were a dirt poor relief worker in the Sudan, ya know what I’m sayin’??) - these two geezers know this. She makes them realize their mortality, or Brad does. They will never ever again in LIFE know the very real pleasure of a woman wanting and needing to be with them because of WHO they are, and/or because of their desirability also (if that EVER was the case, lol). I think THEY see a woman like Angelina who is so desired going for the same qualities in a man as men see in her, and it scares them, makes them feel bad because they know they have one foot in the ground, are old, and the only way they could possibly even dream of landing someone like that is…well, never. They can buy beautiful women. But beautiful authentic genuine women who are not out for their estates and cold hard cash (see Paul McCartney, see every other ex of Trumps, see CZJ and her airtight contracts she forged with Douglas should he ’slip up’) will always be out of their reach. They could have the money of aghnan kishoggi(sp) tomorrow, and they still will NEVER get the ScarJos or Portmans or Jolies…they KNOW this. The Brad Pitts will and can, and so they hate him for it…it’s really as simple as that. Old @ss alpha dogs who know they aren’t too long for this world, being circled by the stronger more virile young alpha males and taking their females away. Hence, the hate. Notice they weren’t hating on Angie when she was with fellow geriatric BBT. (sorry Billy, lol)

I personally think Brad is fine with other people who he likes, knows and trusts - sharing their observations. George has done it to a certain extent. Doug, his brother has done it. Marcheline did it in People. So I think the very fact that Brad shared what he did with Alejandro the director, may have given AI a certain carte blanc in discussing Brad’s performance and the process of how it came to be. From Brad’s standpoint, I think Innaritu’s revelation that he was indeed feeling somewhat remorseful at possibly causing Aniston pain, wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, plus it was after all the truth.

Love that Brad…wish they would clone him so I could have one, Yummers

Thanks Julia — see you there!

George just wanted LK off his back — if he said that, because just recently Clooney said that “Brad is a good friend,” in the same quote that he called him “an amazing Dad.”

for those that don’t have InStyle, here’s the paragraph that’s written under that pic. i know i’ve already emailed this to some. the photoshoot was for TIFF.

“After their imprompu stare-down ended in a draw, Brad Pitt and his Babel director Alejandro Inarritu, posed arm in arm like newlyweds. “Angie’s [Angelina Jolie] going to be jealous,” warned Inarritu. Pitt deadpanned, “Not really.” …(then there’s some description about J Lo & Marc Anthony that i didn’t care to write about)…Pitt holding a sexy snarl and Anthony busting out in dance? Seems that when headed to Toronto, Hollywood’s stars leave any hint of stuffiness at the border.”

Brad’s got one sexy snarl!

No he didn’t. Clooney pulls that crap all the time. When it suits his purpose he’s such good friends with “Pretty boy Pitt” and when it doesn’t then Brad’s just a “Hollywood friend”. It’d be one thing if Clooney said something to get LKL off his back but he went even further then that to clarify the difference between people he considers true friends and those he’s friendly with.

Very cool pic I must say.

dragonfly @ 10/23/2006 at 3:27 pm

Oh shoot guys! I’m sorry to set off another debate, but hey, look how friendly we kept it, yay! It beats the punk out of ThighGate and Zahara’s Follicles, for sure! LMAO!

Anyhoo, my take on AI’s comments are that they are genuine. Liek Paris Match said, they didn;t come out until one year later, and really, I don;t Brad would have any problem with him saying what he did one year after the fact. It sounds sweet to me, like AI is rather gaushing about Brad. I think AI thinks very highly of Brad and is happy for he and Angie becasue he saw part of it as it was happening.

Now PT, I really do believe that Brad *did* indeed fall “instantaneously and passionately” in love with Angie. I think he fell hard for her the instant he laid eyes on her. Now, that doesn’t mean he acted on it, certainly not….and it also doesn’t mean that even he himself really realized or understood what was happening at the time. I am just speculating, but it could be that Brad told AI that he realized then, during the filming of Babel, and now that he and Angie can finally be together, that he has been in love with her all along. Just my take on it.

Oh yeah, and Brad told AI he knew Jen wasn’t gonna like it, but that wasn’t going to change the fact that he and Angie were going to live their lives as they saw fit. Too bad for Jen, but oh well. She shouldn’t have slammed he and Angie in VF.

I have to say I think George is a poser too. There is something about him that I don’t like. Some might compare him to Cary Grant but I don’t see him coming even close to him. Sure, he’s good looking but he’s also has that smug look on his face. Brad sometimes gets that cocky look too but his interivews shows he is humble and often underestimates himself. George on theother hand over -confident and a self aware kind of guy. He’s very aware of how he’s percieved, how he looks, how everyone things he is so sauve,funny, and charming, so he plays that up on purpose.

If Brad never got a Oscar, I don’t it would matter to him but he has mentioned he wants his work recognized, but awards are not necessarily.

Clooney winning an Oscar is one of the worst things that could have happened for his ego. He now thinks of himself as some sort of intellectual who is in the Oscar winners club and so he purposely plays up that concerned citizen act, by speaking out on Darfur, going to the UN, and denying he wants anything to with politics, while always talking about politics. There is nothing wrong with wanting to help places like Darfur or giving your opinion on politics, but George just doesn’t do it only for the purpose of raising awareness, he also does it to keep this image of himself as this smart and genuine guy who keeps his life away from Hollywood. But George really wants nothing more than to be like and respected by the Hollywood bigwigs and impress the movers and shakers.

Here’s an article that describes George perfectly:

*******************************

have discovered a new breed of player: Mr. Self-Aware.

His distinguishing characteristic is being practically perfect. Mr. Self-Aware can carry on a conversation that doesn’t revolve around the NFC East. He can choose an appropriate wine, a good movie, a great CD and the one pair of jeans that make him look his best from behind.

Most importantly, Mr. Self-Aware is self-aware. He’ll tell you right off he’s selfish, and he willingly admits to having a wandering eye. The best part, though, is that he’ll tell you he’s got “problems with commitment” and that you’ll have to be patient while he “works through them.”

The worst thing you can do is assume that he’s taking special care not to behave badly. Mr. Self-Aware is simply revealing upfront his tendency to do so.

That way, when you actually catch him leering at anything with boobs, all he has to do is act a little embarrassed. Mind you, he’s not embarrassed he did it. He told you he would, didn’t he?

Think of it like this: Say you have a weakness for chocolate, and your mom has bowlfuls around her house. When you visit, she finds you on the floor covered in Hershey’s Kisses wrappers. By way of explanation, you yell, “I told you I have a weakness for chocolate!” You have no shame at scarfing the Kisses; you’re just embarrassed you got caught.

The same goes for Mr. Self-Aware. He already said he’s selfish, which means you can’t get mad when he ditches your birthday party for barhopping with the boys. You should have expected this.

The final thing you need to know about Mr. Self-Aware is that he’s a master at timing his warnings. He won’t bare his soul after you’ve laid down your own crazy. Instead, he discloses his dirty laundry while you’re cuddling on the couch. The idea is his out-of-the-blue honesty will make you rush to his defense and be all understanding, thinking he’s just hard on himself – and promising your love will fix him.

Sorry, but that’s not likely. See, Mr. Self-Aware thinks acknowledging his issues is enough. Nobody said anything about getting over them.

I’m glad when I hear something bad about X. Does that make me as bad as her fans??

Did Pitt Trump Trump? I read somewhere, in a comments section of a blog that DT dislikes Angelina because Shiloh gets SO much media attention while his new baby is basically ignored. I can’t state that is fact but it makes alot of sense to me. DT is in a class all by himself when it comes to loving media attention so perhaps this comment has some truth to it. Just a thought.

Everybody is jealous of Shiloh . Anustin i hope she is pregnant too because idont want him to leave our Angie.Since he left Jennifer because she dint want to have his child . BAMZS forever

I love George Clooney’s liberal politics so I was quite taken aback when he made that comment about only being a colleague of Brad Pitt. It was at a time when everyone was trying to make it seem that Angie had a dog collar on Brad and she would kick him to the curb when she was done with him. Now that Brad’s movie Babel has lots o Oscar buzz and his production company has some good movies in the works, it isn’t just George Clooney that is singing a different tune.

I hope they do make DC their home. The outskirts of DC either VA or MD have excellent schools and I suspect they would be left pretty much to their neighborhood. I have lived here for 40 years, raised three children and worked on Capitol Hill and have nothing but praise for this place. On the local level even the Republicans are cool people.

the real tita @ 10/23/2006 at 5:21 pm

PT and Maria: re X buying baby and kiddie clothes…maybe they’re for her dogs. You know the current trend of dressing up your pets has become a multi-million industry. So maybe that’s how she spends her time alone…she dresses up her dogs for fun since she doesn’t have the real babies to practice on.

Either that or she’s completely lost her mind and is fantasizing that she is pregnant.

147 | the real tita

Remember? she has to fake a pregnancy so that she can have a make believe miscarriage the day of the Oscars when Brad and Angelina take their royal stroll down the red carpet!

This rocks! Goodnight you lot!!!

the real tita @ 10/23/2006 at 5:53 pm

148: deena, I really do think that if those clothes were not meant for a friend’s kids, that she has lost her ever loving mind! Maybe pictures of Brad with Zahara, Mad and Shilo especially has driven her over the edge.

If she has a miscarriage then she won’t be be mom! But if she appeared at the red carpet with a growing bump and in maternity clothes instead of the usual flowing gown, wouldn’t that be more of an attention getter? That’s a sure way of stealing the thunder away from Brangelina.

LOL for some reason, my theories have been shot down a lot today. I’m usually not this active on the boards. I might have to regroup and go have my dinner!!

134 | CLINIQUA |
ITA. And I do remember seeing an A & E Biography on him, b/f Ocean’s and it was said that his best friends are his cousins, the Ferrers. Why would he ditch his lifelong friends/family just to roll with Pitt? And think about it, does Brad have any Jimmy Stewart/Henry Fonda type friendships with other actors? Stewart and Fonda were friends before they both hit it big and it lasted for life, despite their opposite political affiliations. So please, don’t be so hard on Clooney.

think positive! @ 10/23/2006 at 7:34 pm

152 | piper, with a low |

I don’ think Brad has any other strong friendship inside Hollywood exept Clooney or maybe Guy Ritchie.Brad have said that his best friend is his brother Doug and that he has some very good old friends back in Missouri.But I also believe that Brad and George are good friends.I don’t think he is using Brad.I mean for what? Clooney is not just some actor.He is an A-lister,he is handsome and very popular plus he has an Oscar.I don’t know if they are hunging out every week or if they are talking on the phone daily but I think their feelings are genuine for each other.I think both of them respect eachother a lot.

I never said George was using Brad, just to be clear and that’s not the reason why I’m hard on him. It’s just that I get the feeling George tries too hard to be this suave guy but he’s too self aware of himself. I don’t find him to be real. He likes the Hollywood lifestyle yet he pretends that he stays away from the Hollywood circles. Atleast to me, it always appears that Clooney goes out of his way to appear as the guy who can do no wrong and does make a effort to always appear as the good guy. On some guys being cocky is sexy, like when Brad is on the red carpet. He has this self - assured look about him. George comes across as smug and arrogant and not in an attractive way. And this has nothing to do with his politics because I lean towards the same side that he does.

Bette Davis (my favourite actress ever) had a scene in a movie where she’s listening to her husband begging for his medication while she’s watching him die — when the camera zooms in on her face — her eyes where just unbelievable.

***********************************
Bette Davis in Little Foxes kicked such a$$!
‘I hope you die. I hope you die soon. I can’t wait for you to die’. Bette Davis was the high priestess of b&%chery and she could annihilate any man in her path. Remember ‘Of Human Bondage’ when Leslie Howard got all high hat on her and she screamed ‘Everything you kissed me, I wiped my mouth. WIPE MY MOUTH!!’ And Beyond the Forest, when she got pregnant and her husband, trying to do right by her, brought her back to the town she desperately tried to flee from? She jumped out of a moving car and had a miscarriage. While recovering, she put on her clothes, and tried to run away again, but dropped dead before reaching the city limits. BETTE DAVIS DID NOT PLAY!!! And you rarely see that grit and determination in today’s actresses.

And speaking of old movies…

Remember? she has to fake a pregnancy so that she can have a make believe miscarriage the day of the Oscars when Brad and Angelina take their royal stroll down the red carpet!

I doubt X would stoop that low, but if she does, she would be on the level of Gene Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven, who was so desperate to possess the undivided attention of her husband, she threw herself down the stairs to get rid of their baby. If she is that desperate that she would inflict that pain on those who love her, then… I have nothing to say.

Love U Brad!

George comes across as smug and arrogant and not in an attractive way. And this has nothing to do with his politics because I lean towards the same side that he does.

I agree with your post. He does not seem genuine, and when he made that statement about Brad being a Hollywood friend, I think it was because he was campaigning for the oscar and did not know which way the wind will blow regarding B/A versus X. So now Brad has come out on top, and he wants to know he is a good friend.
Sorry AG if you read but I always was wary of him, but after the LK interview, he confirmed my opinion of him.

I don’t think George Clooney is Brad’s friend. If my friend said what he said about Brad not a friend’s friend, I would run away from him as fast as I can. George Clooney is jealous of Brad. He wants to be a superstar but he can’t because he cannot carry a movie on his own. Without Brad Ocean 13 would not click in the box office!

I don’ think Brad has any other strong friendship inside Hollywood exept Clooney or maybe Guy Ritchie.Brad have said that his best friend is his brother Doug and that he has some very good old friends back in Missouri.But I also believe that Brad and George are good friends.I don’t think he is using Brad.I mean for what? Clooney is not just some actor.He is an A-lister,he is handsome and very popular plus he has an Oscar.I don’t know if they are hunging out every week or if they are talking on the phone daily but I think their feelings are genuine for each other.I think both of them respect eachother a lot.

Brad is very tight with edward norton jr. Has been close since fight club. They are refered to as Lewis and Clark by their friends.

Whatever you guys say about GC, I think he did AJ a big favor. Remember in 2005? A lot of mags were digging up AJ’s colorful past, and painted her as weird? GC was the one who spoke up for her in was it VF, or Vogue Italy, that he has met her few times, and she is a beautiful, all clued up woman? He also said B&A are very content with each other. He later said that the mag made up those things, but I think he just said that because he wanted the interviewers to focus on his movies, instead of on B&A.
On a different note, regarding X. Did you guys notice she has Nike sneakers on? So maybe the rumors about her endorsing Nike is true. Remember last year we heard about her saying she will quit smoking to do Broadway, and we were all baffled? Well, she is doing Broadway, except, it’s not real Broadway. Sometimes there is some truth to the rumors.

Without Brad Ocean 13 would not click in the box office!

Agree. George needs Brad more than Brad needs George.

That’s what I think too. That’s why I said that Clooney goes out of his way to appear as the guy who can do no wrong and does make a effort to always appear as the good guy. I’ve been wary of him too.

Wouldn’t someone come forth from the Magazine to say that he did infact say that comment that he later denied. I don’t think AJ needs any favors from GC. But if he did say that and later denied it, it shows once again that GC backs away from his own statements. First he goes on Larry King to say Brad is a Hollywood friend and now that as Indie put it “So now Brad has come out on top, and he wants to know he is a good friend.”
Second, if he did say that about AJ in the magazine and then later denied it , it shows once again, George takes great effort to paint himself as always on the favorable side.

IMO this post is so right.

Also one of Brad’s best friends in an actor that star with him on his first TV series Glory Days.

I think that here in the US a relatively new marketing strategy exists :” All money is good regardless where it comes from, so embrace all groups of buyers, especially the ones mostly disregarded by all-that’s the minorities, the poor, the “white trash/black/trash/orienta trash etc. , the conservatives, the religious, the gang members-those whose views are in the minority, the depressed, the angry, the divorced, the dumped; any group that has buying power”.

Couple that with the pervasive and strong belief that “good news” doesn’t sell, and you’ll know why the tablpoids exist, and how they make money.

A few years back the tabs were newspapers, with blurry photos on their covers. When digital cameras appeared, shortly after the tabls became bright-colored magazines, and got websites, and ads on line that bring them income as well as their ads in the magazines.
Then the RSS feeds started, ie. anyone can receive an article on those he’s interested in, as soon as it appears, automatically.

So the digital age/computers have changed the tabs and made them cheaper, and all over the Internet, since they quote each other (another thing that makes their work cheap, since they don’t have to produce their own stories).

And it will not stop-it can’t stop-there’s no reason that would make them stop. The speed with which computers can spread an artil worldwide will bring the same thing all over the world eventually, because it has already started.

Here in the states, with the endemic ridiculous puritanism, that gets fanned and taken advantage of purely for selling purposes, it’s even more intense.

I mean….in the country of Hustler and Playboy the media were in an uproar over Janet Jackson’s mammary…..:)
It’s the media that blows things up, because they know there’s an audience for it, and they have the latest techniques to measure, identify,and then package news they way that fits their target audience.

Eventually, this type of marketing education and application will reach all of the world.

The tabs themselves don’t give a penny whether Brad did good or bad -all they care about is “do something, so we can give it our ‘tone’ and sell our magazine”.

Can’t wait to see the movie…I think it will be shown to only 1 theater here in Toronto. Have to check on it.

funny picture :lol:

Just becase she wears Nike shoes dosen’t mean anything.This rumor came from Femalefirst for Christ sake! Somebody here had sent an e-mail to Nike asking about the commercial and they answered that Nike dosen’t have any contract or agreement for X.IT’S NOT TRUE!

That is my favorite pic of them. BP looks like my husband did when he was smitten. It was something he could not control. A hungry, masculine, yet pleading look. I love it

you can see it in those rail pictures - where he’s looking at her like she’s a 4 course meal. LOL

In the history of hollywood, no couple has ever been beautiful, as this couple is. But as history remind me too few stay together. If this happen , i really dont know what i am going to do with my life.

Worry not Fabienne…us fans can move on. I for one will be sadened but that’s the fact of life…nothing is permanent. But I assure you this, they have their foundation & those are their kids. They will remain connected one way or the other. And they will remain friends since Angelina always been good & stays close with her exes.
