Brad Pitt Plays Beautiful in Boxers

Brad Pitt Plays Beautiful in Boxers

Brad Pitt strips down to his skivvies for Vanity Fair’s first-ever Art Issue. Avant-garde director and designer Robert Wilson shot this video portrait of Brad, dripping wet in the rain and squirting a water gun. More picture of Brad soaking wet here! Watch Brad in all his boxers glory here!

More pictures in the gallery of Brad building a house yesterday as part of the 23rd Jimmy Carter project in Patan Village, 63 miles south east of Mumbai, India. The Jimmy Carter Work Project will build 100 homes in a week for the underprivileged section of the society.

HOT! if there was a wet white boxer shorts contest, Brad would win hands down.

# 2

oh, HAPPY HALLOWEEN JJ Bamzs fans! too bad Bamzs aren’t in the US, if they were, i’d want to know what Mad, Zee, and Shi’s Halloween costumes would be.

Jared,

I’m supposed to be working on a rush job for our New York Office right now, but I peeked at Just Jared to see if the site is up and running again and boy oh boy, now I am bothered by all that hotness that is Brad Pitt! Whew, I have to cool off — work be hanged!!!

# 4

Laura, I’m not sure. Hopefully within the next few weeks… I’ve been slowly building up the site again… trying to make sure things don’t crash again… Thanks for being so patient!

# 5

Good Morning JJ, thank you for the new photos of and all your hard work. Hopefully, you have it all under control.

wow! Brad dripping wet and in shorts! :O My life is complete right now!

Good Morning JJ and all Bamzsers. Thank you JJ for the new photos of BP and all your hard work. Hopefully, you will have it all under control very soon. Thanks again.

Hi Jared and Audrey. Good luck with fixing your server issues. It might just be a Halloween troll. ;)

Thanks JJ for the pics .

Time Clock @ 10/31/2006 at 5:54 am

Ritzy, it isn’t according to Reuters, they’re just quoting an India paper. The Reuters story said “newspaper reports said.” And this is the 4th different account i’ve read from India. One said 15 minutes, one said a half-an-hour, one said 45 minutes, one said all day. In the end what does it f’ing matter, is there an allotted amount of time he must be there?

Are these the same boxers he gives himself wedgies in??? EWWW

Brad is so hot . I wonder if this picture was taken while filming MMSmith or after they came back from Africa ?

His abs have seen better days….

Nice pictures…

by looking in this pic i can see why angelina got pregnant so soon…

Brad worked there from 5a.m. to 6 p.m. then left

My Daddy is the hottest dad on earth.

By Brad just being there he bought a lot of press coverage for the Carter’s organization. Its not like he made a huge announcement that he was going to do this project, and then only stay for an hour. He probably did it as a favor to the Carter’s.

PS: He looks awesome in his wet boxers.

Thanks Just Jared for all your hard work. I appreciate all your effort. Your site is still the best and those other blogs can’t compete. I see that Ritzy dizty is still trying her best to undermind Brad and Angie. The more people hate, the more their lies are disputed and Brad and Angie continue to grow strong. Best wishes to BAMZS and safe travel. Brad and Angie are good people and deserve much happiness. Their true fans will always support them.

Thanks Oldie for the Habitat link. Yeah! the JCWP is going to be in Los Angeles next year! I hope they will let me volunteer. (and hope B&A will be there. :))

Brad is doing exactly what he said he will do in 2005 Sawyer interview; He can’t get out of the press so he would bring them to those who can’t get into the press. A certain sitcom actress can learn from him and do something for others for change. As Lainey says, sniffing on Oprah’s couch doesn’t feed babies.

Just The Facts @ 10/31/2006 at 7:51 am

This Video was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in May 2006, so this must be from 2004. Mary Hart on Entertainment Tonight said it was from last September, but it must be September 2004 because Brad didn’t have a buzz cut in September 05….Anyway here’s the review…
================================
Brad Pitt at Tribeca!
By Logan Hill

A throwback to Wilson’s most silly installation art, his portrait of Brad Pitt is half-cocked and wonderfully absurd. Pitt really acts in the piece, or, rather, he subjects himself to it, standing in the pouring rain of a deep blue soundstage in nothing but chiseled pecs and clinging white boxers. A droning, deep I-am-a-gallery-voiceover voice intones snippets from children’s games and fairy tales, while Pitt slowly raises his arm, with excruciatingly slow precision, and points a gun at the camera, at which point he pulls the trigger and fires a tiny spout of water. It’s preposterous in the extreme, but it’s lovely to see Pitt playing so gamely along.

—————-

ITA. taking some time out from his hectic schedule was enough to show his support for the Carter’s organization. and no to mention the press attention to this project. whoever knew Carter was in India if not of Brad’s present. If this is for media attnetion, then I would prefer this kind of ” manipulation” than the talking boobs , denying and confirming a relation which she never aknowlege before at Oprah’s, and tabs mag.

You’re welcome ntt. Anyway, ask the organization of you want to volunteer, there are many tasks that need to be done before the construction activity itself.

bamzs 4-ever @ 10/31/2006 at 8:01 am

Happy Halloween!! Thank you Jared and Audrey for the new thread! Great treat for this morning! Wishing you all a great day!!

ntt, Oldie,

We used to have Habitat for Humanity credit card (I think it was VISA), my husband liked them and we did it for a long time. We had to stop bunch of cards while back though…

Happy Halloween BAMZSers, Jared & Audrey! We’ll be handing out treats tonight. I think they will be out of India soon. Can’t wait. But the whole family should go & take a vacation to relax. Remember, Thanksgiving is coming, maybe they will go to Missouri to celebrate have a turkey feast. At least stress ease a bit if they will take a mini vacation before Brad starts making another movie.

Off to work, be back later in the day. Hello to fellow Pinoys & Ate Cha!

Guys, IGNORE the Ritzygal. This loser will always come here & engage in her usual preaching. As if she trying to convert us to go the “dark side”…if you know what I mean. Let her utter non-sense & avoid flattering her with any responses unless she responded to her own post. Asylum anyone?

ITA with you guys regarding BP bringing more attention to the JCWP. I have known about JC’s Habitat, but never did anything about it. Now BP got me out of my cosy bed to go volunteer. I wish it was the other way around: BP got me into a cosy bed (with him). :oops:

“After spending about a quarter of an hour with the couple, the actor went to the restricted zone at the back of the site and made his departure unnoticed.”
————–
My dear Ritzy the article you posted says that Brad spent 15 minuites TALKING with Jimmy Carter and his wife.It dosen’t specifcly say that he WORKED only for this time.

Check out this article :

“Even as the construction was in full swing, there was a flurry of activity as Hollywood actor Brad Pitt made an appearance. Wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, Pitt joined Carter and Rosalynn near House No. 73.

After a small discussion between the trio, it was time for Pitt to get to work.
Picking up windowsills he moved towards House No. 74 — the home of Sathes. Neither a pregnant Shalini nor her husband Subhash had any idea about the importance of the person who was helping them build their house. “I was told by the interpreter that he (Pitt) is the Shahrukh Khan of Hollywood,” said Subhash with a smile.

“He asked me about my family, how many children I have and he also shared information about his children,” he said. After the exchange of pleasantries, Pitt picked up a hammer and fixed the window for Sathe.”
————–
So Brad talked with JC and his wife for some minuites and then he went to work!

BTW-Isn’t he sooooo sweet? He always gets the appartunity to say that
“I’m a father now”.He loves his family so much!

think positive! @ 10/31/2006 at 8:38 am

I forgot to post the source for the previous article. Here it is:

http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=207366

Here is another very good one! Many complimentaries for Brad :

“While Sadhiya has been working with a self-help group for the past one year, Aziz is a driver for a private tourist car rental company. With their two children, they had always lived in rental accommodation with no land or property.

“The moment I heard about the house I was overjoyed. We would never have managed to build or own a home on our own till now,” emphasised Sadhiya.

“Now, we will be able to live as we choose and will no more be at the mercy of others,” added Aziz.

What most excited both today was that they had been given the unique opportunity to build their own houses with some of the most “sought-after people in the world”.

Brad Pitt, who did not speak to the media, was equally involved as the rest of the volunteers as he listened to their instructions and worked with the Sheikhs.

“He wants to help the people and work like the others here and does not want to divert the attention of the people from their mission,”

If you play the video on mute. You get a much better experience. BP is hot.

I’ve already seen Brad’s weener (thanks again go to Playgirl and they’re gonzo ‘journalists’), there is clearly no reason in wanting to see him in his underpanties…but oddly enough I feel compelled. Compelled by the wet underpanties!

From Liz Smith:

ENDTHOUGHT: So there is Brad Pitt on the cover of Vanity Fair, stripped to his undies, soaking wet. Hot. Now, is anybody going to say this is inappropriate for a man who is a new father of his own child with Angelina Jolie and also the dad to Miss Jolie’s two adopted children? I think not. It really isn’t. It’s just an interesting look at a man in his wet undies. But . . . watch what happens the first time Madonna bares a shoulder, or films another provocative video. Unfit mother! Return David to Malawi!
*********************************************************************
Is it just me or does anyone else think that Liz Smith should pick her battles more carefully? I mean, in all of the years BP has been in the public eye, the most we have seen of him is his chest and his butt-never the full monty(although there are sites out there that have pics of that, so I’ve heard). Meanwhile, the Library of Congress has Madonna’s Sex Book, which depicted simulated sex acts, hinging on deviance, the Justify My Love video, the Eroticia album, and the Britney/Christina makeout session on an MTV awards show. But the issue of a wet Brad in wet boxers is a rallying cry for Liz’s embracing feminism or sexist double standards? PLEASE!

And what makes that article an even bigger joke is the fact that entertainment shows like Showbiz Tonight has done shows about how the male standard of attractiveness has changed, citing Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, and Jack Black as a new standard- and yet some on this board and on other sites have the nerve to criticize Brad’s abs, saying that they’re not Fight Club caliber? Thank God that they’re not Vaughn, or Ferrell, or Black’s caliber.

BAMZS fans are well-aware of the double standards heaped onto this family; I see some of us are joining in on the fun!

ITA Piper. But I have to say the thing that bothers me the most in this column is her dividing the children. ” A new father of his OWN child and Angleine Jolie’s 2 adopted children” Why is that necessary when Brad and Angie themselves don’t split the difference between their children they just love them. They always say my children, our children, I have three children.

Madonna as a selection makes her arguement fall flat. She has done several questionable things before and after having her children yet where her career choices may have come under question her being a good mother never has.

Peaches- also this shoot was done in 2004, before he was a dad so her argument doesn’t make sence

African Girl @ 10/31/2006 at 11:14 am

Good Morning everyone,
My Godness, it seems like ages….it’s sooooo good yo see you all again *sobbing happily* I’ve missed you so much. And what a sight to wake up to….Beautiful Man.
Anyhoo, here’s something

Angelina Jolie may sue head of aid group

A former ally in the battle against destruction in Cambodia with Angelina Jolie may be facing a lawsuit from the famous actress. The Associated Press broke the news Tuesday morning that an associate of Jolie revealed that the actress may be filing a lawsuit against Mounh Sarath, director of Cambodian Vision in Development, a man who Jolie once gave money and support.

Trevor Neilson, the philanthropic and political advisor to Jolie and Brad Pitt, told The Associated Press on Monday, “We are considering filing a lawsuit to recover the hundreds of thousands of dollars that is missing and which he was responsible for. We have specific evidence (of) him having taken the money, and we are considering whether to file a lawsuit or press charges against him in Cambodia.”

Originally, Mounh Sarath accused Angelina Jolie of having reneged on an agreement by discontinuing funds to the Cambodian group and those accusations opened an investigation by Jolie’s camp into just where the money was going. As Neilson said, “The sad reality is that this person who made these allegations was fired because we believe (he) stole.”

Angelina Jolie has already moved to make sure that her funds and support could still get to the people of Cambodia, setting up an independent organization to administer a new conservation project, according to Yahoo News. The new group is called The Maddox Jolie Project, after Angelina Jolie’s son, who was adopted from Cambodia in 2002, and has pledged over $1 million over the next five years for forest conservation.

Mounh Sarath already has come out and said that he’s willing to combat any charges, telling the AP, “I will fight any lawsuit and find out the truth and to see if they have any documented proof of the money stolen.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are currently in India filming A Mighty Heart, the true story of the widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl. Jolie is starring and Pitt is producing.

I hope they sue the guy. He’s the same one blabbing all over the place that AJ backed out of the promise.

Ya know, I always believed that some of the gossip surounding their “reneging” from thier pledges had something to do with embezzlement, such poor countries such temptation. Even here in the US there were millions of government and red cross $$$$$ misapropriated after the Katina catastrophy. I hope this will stop others from doing the same, or at least stop the rumors.

Thanks JJ and Audrey!!!! Happy Halloween to everyone :lol:

Gorgeous pictures as usual. I need to catch up with the other thread BRB.

AG-ITA I hope they sue him too….

African Girl @ 10/31/2006 at 11:40 am

This is for Indie…..
Guess what, apparently our good friend Ms. Oprah gave her audience $1000 each to donate to charity. Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Isn’t that generous….Ms. O gave the audience money to give to charity. Hmmm, nice eh? So….what is the moral of this story? Why,
that Ms Oprah is generous to her audience, she gives cars, makeovers and now money.

Once again, it’s about OPRAH’s audience giving to charity not Oprah’s audience giving to CHARITY.

Brad Pitt: the good, the wet, the creepy

I’ll start with the good, just to pacify the psychotic Brangelinas.

As you know, Brad helped out with Habitat for Humanity on Monday in India, and contrary to local reports that indicate he only stayed for half an hour (just in time for pictures), I’m told by 2 sources also involved with the project that Brad actually stayed for the entire time, well past the planned photo opportunity that, yes, had been previously arranged.

Brad was apparently reserved but friendly and polite and seemed “very comfortable” around a construction site. The exact description: “he didn’t look awkward, if he was in a tool shed I can imagine him knowing exactly where everything is.”

So that’s the good, here’s the sexy. Brad wet for Vanity Fair – some kind of video portrait by renowned artist Robert Wilson that everyone and their eyebrow stylist seems to be losing their **** over.

WTF???

Wet Brad I can handle. The video…not so much.

Hey…maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m just not “arty” enough. Maybe I’m too uncouth to appreciate the creepy crawly beauty of perversion. But if art is all about personal interpretation, then that is exactly how I’ve personally interpreted Robert Wilson’s disturbing Brad Pitt “Video Portrait”.

Watch it for yourself, listen to the voice over, listen as the Scary Hidden Man reads his Sexual Predator Poem, listen carefully to the words:

Apples, peaches, pumpkin pie/You were young and so was I/Now that we’ve grown up it seems/You just keep ignoring me

I’ll find you anywhere you go/I’m gonna look, high and low/You can’t escape this love of mine…anytime/Well…I’ll sneak up behind you/Be careful where I find you

And on and on it goes, the Scary Hidden Man’s voice reading monotonously, Brad just standing there in the rain, the longer it goes, the more you imagine a serial stalker sitting in a small room, watching watching watching, waiting waiting waiting, his mouth watering, his eyes bulging, his breath accelerated, his excitement growing, his appetite violent, and worst of all… his prey oblivious.

Now I know I have an active imagination but you watch this and you try, just try to tell me it’s more than a *little* ******’ weird. Especially the squirt at the end timed perfectly for a particular verse in the poem.

If art is about symbolism, then yeah…I get it: symbolically fucked AND symbolically disturbing and just because Brad Pitt has his shirt off doesn’t make it any better.

Happy Halloween.

brad is smokin hot!!!!!!!!

is it wrong to keep all the chocolate to yourself and give the kiddies the “cheap” candy? if it is, LOCK ME UP!!

so, the dude with the big mouth was embezzling and looking for more to steal. shame shame. i’m glad that brad & angie have hooked up with trevor nielson. it means they’re trying to be smart about the who what and where of their philanthropy.

I agree with you. He is in India to oversee AMH and to take care of the kids while AJ work and rest. He could’ve remained in the hotel, but then again, there are those who would’ve asked why he didn’t lend a hand? Does he only support Angelina/Jolie-Pitt backed charities? But then again, some would accuse him of stealing the spotlight from Habitat. If the press chose to focus on BP, then it’s the press’ fault, not BP’s. At least BP’s presence, both physically and within the articles benefit Habitat. For me, I didn’t even know that Habitat built houses outside of the US.

Happy Boo Day Everyone!!!!

Alex/Guli/AG/Estelle/4Q/4C/PT/Angelah/Missouri Mama/Be Sane/JJ/LWICD, etc — All The Real Deals — So glaaaaaaaaaaaaad we’re back!!!

How is everyone this morning? Ooooh, do you hear some ‘humming’? Was so happy yesterday on BAMZ without the ‘humming’, but like I said yesterday, it was only a matter of time!

Ivy/AG: Girls, I love the Okra notes. You just make me smile!!

Did anyone see the picture of M holding her new cutie pie? Doesn’t the woman look awful? The baby is just too cute for words, I could just kiss that face and never stop. Before I get any hate mail on M, I’m sure the pressure of the adoption is wearing on her, so I’ll give her that — and only that!

Thanks to all those on Bamz that made my day yesterday. I would have gone wacko without yas!!

Update from People.com

On Monday Brad Pitt visited the Western India town of Lonavala, where he helped former President Jimmy Carter, his wife Rosalynn and other Habitat for Humanity volunteers build two new houses.

The actor, who has been in Pune, India, with Angelina Jolie filming A Mighty Heart, arrived around noon – when the press corps was at lunch – and for a few moments went unnoticed among the 1,500 foreign volunteers.

But then a Times of India photographer happened to recognize Pitt and the whole press pack came running.

During his visit, which lasted until sundown, Pitt chatted with the Carters and then helped lay cement blocks. “He was perfectly relaxed and didn’t mind being photographed at all,” local reporter Pranjal Bhujan told PEOPLE. “He did everything – he mixed the cement, carried it to the house, laid it on the bricks and then placed the bricks on the wall that was being built.”

On Monday Brad Pitt visited the Western India town of Lonavala, where he helped former President Jimmy Carter, his wife Rosalynn and other Habitat for Humanity volunteers build two new houses.

But then a Times of India photographer happened to recognize Pitt and the whole press pack came running.

During his visit, which lasted until sundown, Pitt chatted with the Carters and then helped lay cement blocks. “He was perfectly relaxed and didn’t mind being photographed at all,” local reporter Pranjal Bhujan told PEOPLE. “He did everything – he mixed the cement, carried it to the house, laid it on the bricks and then placed the bricks on the wall that was being built.”

Pitt also spoke with Aziz and Sadhiya Sheikh, who will own one of the houses he worked on – although Sadhiya Sheikh later told reporters she had never heard of the actor.

But her husband, a taxi driver, had, because of all the recent coverage of Pitt and Jolie’s activities in Pune. “I know he is the famous American actor,” Aziz said. “I was excited and honored that he and Mr. Carter were helping to build my house.”

Pitt and Carter also helped out on a house for rickshaw driver Dev Aggarwal and his wife, who is seven months pregnant. “I didn’t know who Pitt was, but to have a famous man visiting your house is an auspicious sign with a baby on the way. It means good things are going to come,” Aggarwal told reporters.

After Pitt had gone, the Indian volunteers working on the site came rushing to the two couples to congratulate them on having been ‘blessed’ by a visit from Pitt and Carter.

“Brad just believes in doing his part to draw attention to the fact that so many people around the world lack adequate and affordable housing,” the actor’s philanthropic advisor, Trevor Neilson, told PEOPLE. “He has great respect for the work that President Carter has done leading Habitat for Humanity and is glad to be able to help draw attention to their important work in India and around the world.”

In total, 100 houses are being built in association with Habitat for Humanity for low-income families in the Lonavala area as part of the 23rd annual Jimmy Carter Work Project.

Also helping the Carters – who every year since 1984 have spent a week building homes for Habitat – were former Miss World and Miss India Diana Hayden and Australian cricket player Steve Waugh.

“We’ve realized that people across the globe have the same basic needs, dreams and aspirations,” Carter, 82, said at a press conference at the work site. “Habitat’s program depends on finding families who cannot otherwise afford housing.”

Last month, Pitt and Jolie formed the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which will give $2 million to Global Action for Children and Doctors Without Borders to help families affected by HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty.

Hey Gitane and Clin: I don’t think I added you to my list just a bit ago, but please don’t think I would EVER forget you guys!!! Gosh, I must be going through chocolate withdrawals right now, as all this morning, I’ve been pigging out on the stuff. I love the dark chocolate/nuts/coconut stuff — Almond Joys or Mounds. Then there’s the M&M peanuts, or peanut butter cups……………..yes, I’ve been at them this morning, I can tell you!

Gitane: To answer your question: NO! NO! NO! I’m a chocolate freak, so keep the good stuff and give the kiddies the semi good stuff. I mean, they like all that sugar stuff, so I’m on your side on this one. I’ve spent so much monies on huge bags of mixed chocolates, but took out the bits I like. HA! HA

I looved seeing the little ones in their costumes. There was on little guy — no more than five years old this morning in a Batman costume. He was the cutest little thing. Can’t wait for them to start knocking on my door so I can give them their treats.

laineygossip - lainey can kiss my a*s, she has no gossip all she can do is comment on the pics after they come out, she got on info from any source, people updated their site and there were stories in the indian press that said he wasn’t there for only 1/2 hr….. she can call us psychotic all she want but she’s still full of sh*t……

Hi Maniston, I was wondering why it wasn’t posted here yet. :)

Anyway, deena and the rest, one reason why philantrophists put up their own foundations is better control and supervision of the funds disbursed. Too many donors have been burned when they merely add funds to projects without having their own people monitor the project implementation.

This is probably why the Jolie Pitt Foundation and the Maddox Jolie Project were established.

Brad looks really good there. I’m so glad that Brad & Angelina set up that foundation. I know that Angelina’s generosity has been taken advantage of at some point in the past. With an official foundation, every cent will have to be accounted for and every recipient of the donation will have to be checked out.
Glad to see you back JJ & Audrey.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

is it wrong to keep all the chocolate to yourself and give the kiddies the “cheap” candy? if it is, LOCK ME UP!!

so, the dude with the big mouth was embezzling and looking for more to steal. shame shame. i’m glad that brad & angie have hooked up with trevor nielson. it means they’re trying to be smart about the who what and where of their philanthropy.

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

Gitane: Hey MA! Big mouth is going to be in alot of trouble if it’s found out that he indeed has embezzled monies. We’re not talking US jail here, where you get good food, heating, colour tvs to watch, libraries with books to read, computers to use, etc. We’re talking, throw him in and forget about him jail. Greed, my goodness, why does this happen so much around the world? It’s so sad, because so many people are so poor, and they want to feed their families, but this guy wasn’t out in the street begging. I hope he gets what he deserves, if it is true.

Team Ryan @ 10/31/2006 at 1:21 pm

He looks ok. I never really found him HOT before ( not an insult so calm down) but I like him more now that he’s with Angelina. I don’t think he’s the most gorgeous man in the world, but he’s not bad.

I’m in a hurry, having trouble posting

I think the video is creepy with the droning voice and scary peom to build suspence leading up to the water gun attack. I think it’s sarcastic, if it’d just been a quick squirt in the rain (kepp those dirty minds in check), it would’ve been funny.

The juxtaposition of the humor in that plus the words to a harmless upbeat oldie, and the slow creepy manner in which they’re delivered is surprising and controversial, like all that artsy f*rtsy stuff always seems to be.

Now how do I FF through that mess?

Re LAINEY GOSSIP - WHY DOESN’T SHE MENTION ‘CONSPIRACY’ WHEN ONE IS SLAPPING HER IN THE FACE???!!!

You know, for all the ‘conspiracy’ type stories the woman does, you would THINK, that Vanity Fair using an almost 3-4 year old pictorial/art show piece of BP that was ALREADY SHOWN a couple years back would make her little ears prick up?

The same magazine that tried to destroy his reputation single-handedly and that of the woman he loves….can’t get Brad Pitt to P* on them if they were on fire, so they go scrounging up some old @ss artistic property that he doesn’t have control over, and they slap that on their magazine to reap the rewards…

…while making it SEEM as if Brad Pitt himself has let bygones be bygones and had a sit-down with your unconscionable mag and done a cover story.

Afterall, what’s a little name calling of the mother of your children, and the sullying of your rep as an honest decent person, among pals, eh???

Lainey doesn’t even mention THIS conspiracy - or make that — she doesn’t even mention the shameful, shifty, shady REALITY of this situation??!!

OR…could it be - she just didn’t know???

Muahhahahaha!

I guess Lainey isn’t as up on things as she likes to pretend.

Team Ryan @ 10/31/2006 at 2:48 pm

Lainey never has any good gossip on Brad and Angelina anymore. Everything she says about them we can pretty much figure out on our own. It’s not really gossip, just her opinion on what’s going on. Any of us could start a site like that.

********************************************************************* This is an excerpt from the X’s VF interview:

Instead of being reviled as The Other Woman, Jolie posed for pictures on an energetic round of appearances as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations—and then trumped even that public-relations bonanza by adopting another orphan, an African girl whose parents had died of AIDS. In the blink of an eye, the twice-divorced Jolie—previously known as a tattooed vixen with a taste for bisexuality, heroin, BROTHERLY INCEST, mental institutions, and wearing her husbands’ blood—had morphed into a globe-trotting humanitarian who seemed to be channeling Audrey Hepburn

She let them print that. This character assasination posing as journalism contains all the misinformation, insinuations, and dredging up of her past that her fans repeat to this very day as if it were the Gospel. Jen knew what the article contained and allowed it’s release without revision.

This is for Indie…..

AG, I read that yesterday and I did not want to touch any story about Oprah anymore. The funny funny thing is that the same people that are saying how wonderful her gesture is, are the same people bashing Angie. What can you say about a woman who blamed her most recent weight gain on how she had to eat only bread while she was in Africa because she could not trust the meat. The irony of it that you spent time with people without food but blame their country for your weight gain, will be lost only to Oprah and fans.

I have tried to stay away from JJ today so I can get some work done.

Look at the things that Brad had to do for Habitat.. Use common sense. It had to last at least a day.
Read the following from people.com

http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1552597,00.html

During his visit, which lasted until sundown, Pitt chatted with the Carters and then helped lay cement blocks. “He was perfectly relaxed and didn’t mind being photographed at all,” local reporter Pranjal Bhujan told PEOPLE. “He did everything – he mixed the cement, carried it to the house, laid it on the bricks and then placed the bricks on the wall that was being built.”

Pitt also spoke with Aziz and Sadhiya Sheikh, who will own one of the houses he worked on – although Sadhiya Sheikh later told reporters she had never heard of the actor.

Pitt and Carter also helped out on a house for rickshaw driver Dev Aggarwal and his wife, who is seven months pregnant. “I didn’t know who Pitt was, but to have a famous man visiting your house is an auspicious sign with a baby on the way. It means good things are going to come,” Aggarwal told reporters

On that Vanity Fair interview which Jennifer Aniston did, I was furious when I read that. Vanity Fair brought up the past and did not mention that Jolie has CHANGED for the better. Anybody who didnt know about Jolie would have had the wrong impression of her.

That’s why I will NOT buy any vanity fair magazine

Lol….you’re right. I’m soooo done with Oprah.

Brad Pitt struts his stuff on the cover of December’s Vanity Fair — and TMZ has learned that no one was more surprised to see the steamy cover on stands than Brad himself.

A source close to Pitt tells TMZ that Brad shot the photos, taken by artist Robert Wilson, in September 2005, but didn’t have any idea at the time — or anytime since — that they would be used for the cover of VF. Pitt had agreed to be in Wilson’s avant-garde video art project last year, and signed a legal release at the time for the still and video images taken in the shoot. But until the Vanity Fair cover emerged this week, Pitt didn’t know that he would be the magazine’s coverboy.

TMZ has also learned that Sacha Baron Cohen, star of the upcoming film “Borat,” was slated to be on the December cover, but Cohen’s reps were told that Vanity Fair had decided to produce a special “Art Issue” for December instead, and that he was being pulled as the cover subject. It may be that steadily under-performing series of cover subjects this year — with the exception of Suri Cruise in October’s issue — may have led Vanity Fair’s editors to substitute Pitt for Cohen. Indeed, Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have fronted some of Vanity Fair’s best-selling issues.

Pitt’s lawyers are said to be weighing their legal options. His rep gave the following statement to TMZ: “We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine. It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives.”

A rep for Vanity Fair tells TMZ: “Brad Pitt posed for a Robert Wilson video portrait, and in the photo release (signed by Pitt), agreed to allow Wilson to use the portrait or any images from that sitting in connection with any publicity on Wilson’s video project. Vanity Fair decided to do a story on Wilson’s video portraits and obtained rights to the entire collection of photographs from those sittings, which included Pitt’s.”

Brad’s Unauthorized Vanity Fair Cover

Brad Pitt struts his stuff on the cover of December’s Vanity Fair — and TMZ has learned that no one was more surprised to see the steamy cover on stands than Brad himself.

But until the Vanity Fair cover emerged this week, Pitt didn’t know that he would be the magazine’s coverboy.
Reps for Vanity Fair tell TMZ, “In a letter dated October 5, 2006, and sent to Pitt care of Brillstein-Grey [Pitt's managers], Wilson informed Pitt that a still image from his portrait was going to be featured in the December art issue of Vanity Fair.” A source says that Pitt never saw the letter.

CLINIQUA : October 31st, 2006 at 2:13 pm

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe Brad Pitt operates like that. He’s a powerful man, and I’m extremely doubtful he’d grace the cover of a major magazine without giving them permission to put him there. I don’t believe he lives in the past about that interview, and I don’t believe he’s baned himself from doing business with them because of it. I have yet to read, hear or see one time where Brad has said he won’t work with VF, and until then, I’m not inclined to believe he’s harboring no ill will with anyone there to the point of giving them that kind of power over him, and that’s would it would be. I could never imagine him allowing anyone to stop him from moving freely as it pertains to his career, and magazines are part of that.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Liz Smith should pick her battles more carefully? I mean, in all of the years BP has been in the public eye, the most we have seen of him is his chest and his butt-never the full monty(although there are sites out there that have pics of that, so I’ve heard). Meanwhile, the Library of Congress has Madonna’s Sex Book, which depicted simulated sex acts, hinging on deviance, the Justify My Love video, the Eroticia album, and the Britney/Christina makeout session on an MTV awards show. But the issue of a wet Brad in wet boxers is a rallying cry for Liz’s embracing feminism or sexist double standards? PLEASE!
+++++++++++++

Now come on Piper…you know how gay people love Madonna! Old queens or old dykes…doesn’t matter… Liz is just outraged on behalf of her community!

Well, it looks like he doesn’t want his pic on the cover of that mag.

African Girl,

there was no interview. the folks at Vanity Fair cooked up this whole art issue as an excuse to get braddy on the cover of their rag. the article inside is supposed to be about the artist who did the video. brad was one of his subjects and they took a still from the vid and used it as their cover. they’re just trying to make money off his image.

at this rate, the jolie-pitts are going to be suing everyone!

African Girl @ 10/31/2006 at 5:52 pm

Okay, How is it that I I think he’s hotter in the pictures where he’s working with cement than the pictures where he is in his undies…..is there something wrong with me? Help!!!

Original jpf @ 10/31/2006 at 5:52 pm

Ok, if TMZ is to be believed, I stand corrected only regarding permission being granted, but as far as the rest, it stands. I do not believe Brad is walking around with that d@mn VF interview stuffed in his wallet to be pulled out and screamed at from time to time. For him to do that would mean he still was living in the past, and according to Brad Pitt, he doesn’t live in the past.

gossippup @ 10/31/2006 at 5:55 pm

You would hope the rags have figured out that it is BP who sells the mags. People bought the VF with X on the cover to see what was said about BP. The days of hert hair selling a mag off the shelves are over. She is over and aging quickly. BTW did she have implant on her hair line, it looked weird in TBU during the nude scene.

You are so sweet, it is unbelievable. Of course Brad is pissed at Vanity Fair though if he signed the release to the Artist, there is nothing his attorneys can do. It is funny how Actors and Actresses and their PR hacks are selling their souls to appear on the cover of Vanity Fair, and Brad is threatening to sue for making the cover, now they will know not to mess with Brad and his woman.

They will start writing nice articles on him, trying to soften him up.

Maria- I am not buying the VF. They are trying to exploit his popularity, but this Brad and Angie fan is still pissed and not giving them my money. I will wait for Vogue and any other cover they make but not VF.

I hope he also gives Oprah the cold shoulder when he is nominated for oscar and she starts kissing his a**.

So much for trying to get some work done.

I’m going to buy this VF issue despite the controversy. Because of that liar, the X. And it doesn’t hurt that BP looks hot.

piper, with a low @ 10/31/2006 at 6:24 pm

I won’t be buying it either.I think that VF is shady for using BP, first his separation/divorce and now, his body. And it isn’t a coincidence that he’s getting positive buzz about Babel and just gave an interview stating that he’s concerned about how his decisions, in terms of work, would affect his kids, although I am sure that they’ve seen him boxers or at least, swim trunks.

Between suing Vanity Fair, E! network, and that man in Cambodia, their lawyers are going to be busy. And I can’t for them to sue all of them. Vanity Fair and that guy in Cambodia especially.

Indie: How ya been sweetie? I understand completely. I just want to be out there showing my support for Brad and making sure that this rag knows Brad sells and NOT X. Oh, Okra will come up with something — you just wait and see. She’ll probably donate to one of their charities — hence his appearance on the show. You know he’d not turn down monies for his charities. Yup, don’t be surprise if fake Okra comes up with something.

I don’t know if we should trust this specific TMZ article. It has some things that are obviously false and very tabloidish. Like :

“A source close to Pitt tells TMZ that Brad shot the photos, taken by artist Robert Wilson, in September 2005, but didn’t have any idea at the time — or anytime since — that they would be used for the cover of VF.”
————–

1.A source close to Pitt…my ass!

2.If this date is correct then sorry guys but it’s not Brad in the pictures. It’s a look-alike. LOL! Brad had BLACK hair in September 2005 because he was filming Jesse James. So the date in FALSE!

3.If Brad sighed for a release to any publication then I don’t think Brad would let his lawers make a statement.And why should they make that statement on TMZ anyway? It’s a celebrity blog!

They just want to create some drama!

But it’s still dirty for them to do this now and put him on the cover.Why they didn’t do the cover when this pictures were taken almost 3 years ago??

Hey Girl! Don’t you think they know that they put their heads up their ****? Don’t you think they realise now that they made one huge mistake? YOU BET THEY HAVE!! Why didn’t they put something else on the cover? You know it’s because BRAD sells. Yes, girl, the truth always wins!!!

I think Brad’s lawyers should at least rattle their swords so that the average person on the street will get the message loud and clear, that he doesn’t apreciate getting pimped off by this magazine. He did sign off so he really can’t do anything about it.
Hmmm, but that might be misunderstood, some people might just say he’s p^ssed cause he won’t get any money, you know how that goes. I’m torn.

HEY TP!!! Where you been girl? Ohhhhhh sure, they didn’t know they would use the pictures or have Brad on the cover. Yeah, right!! And you know what else, X and V are going to get married and have four kids and she’ll leave acting and concentrate on being a mum. I wonder who comes up with this ‘caca’ at VF?

I don’t think buying this issue will be sticking it to the X. Vanity Fair will be the one reaping the profits. That’s their whole point. They have toyed with the emotions of X fans and Brad fans alike for the sole purpose of getting a profit. They just care about $$$. And if people buy this issue, it’s like giving Vanity Fair the approval that it’s okay for them to do what they did by using Brad’s pictures without his knowledge. JMHO.

Vanity Fair really need his authorization? because if Brad signed to allow Wilson the use of the video and images, then Vanity Fair doesn’t need his authorization. Wilson is the one who can do anything with his material.

Deena: No girl, Brad needs to leave this one alone. He signed off on pictures and that’s that. You know the ‘zombies’ will come back with negative ‘caca’. I think he’s got more serious things to worry about than a mag spread — especially a rag like VF.

I’m really torn here. I really want to have Brad in his Boxers on my coffee table staring at me in the morning while I drink my coffee.. :)
But they are vile for what they did to Brad with that hack and this new stunt is very sneaky So….not sure what to do.

If Brad is indeed upset by this cover than I think it has less to do with VF than it has to do with Brad not having control over how he is appears. Remember Brad talked about making better decisions about the movies he does because he is a dad now. I think that probably also stands for magazine covers. Brad does not want to be looked at as just a sex symbol. He wants to respected as a man, father, actor and for his charity work. If any magazine ask him to do a cover with his shirt off, I think he would say NO. This man is changing and he wants his magazine covers to convey that change.

Brad does not want to be looked at as just a sex symbol. He wants to respected as a man, father, actor and for his charity work. VF’s last cover show GC in very classy pics yet they showed Brad half naked. Brad wants the respect that is due him. If any magazine ask him to do a cover with his shirt off, I think he would say NO now. Sadly Wilson betrayed his kindness by letting VF use the pics.

If that’s true, then her article is possibly the most convoluted attempt to illustrate gay bias, since Madonna’s been, presumably, faithful during her marriage with a man.

If BP does sue, I think he’s got a case. Didn’t Jessica Alba sue Playboy for using a promotional pic from Into the Deep or Into the Blue or whatever it was called without her permission? Although, I do think her lawsuit was more about Playboy implying that she had a pictoral within their mag.

hi everyone!

i ‘m also with people saying NOT buying this issue of Vanity Crap
it is sooooo easy to drag a family in the mud and make profits of it all while saving the professionnnal victim;

If Brad disagree, then , we shouldn’t have to buy this issue to support him and let it know;
it is like a rape

loosers Vanity unfair, bunch of hypocrits

Vanity Fair will never get my $$. I made that decision after the Chin hatchet job and if tmz is to believed, I have one more reason to never purchase the mag again.

I’m not being sweet here lol. No, this is business, and based on who Brad Pitt has consistantly said he is, how he operates, how he moves on down the road and owns his errors, I really think he could care less. I don’t see him allowing that poor poor choice made by VF to stop him from utilizing them if he felt the need. I know some people here think I say grey because some same blue, or I’m being deliberatly contrary (or at least that’s what a little birdy once told me) but that isnt the case. I just don’t believe Brad and Angelina spend as much if any time concerning themselves with what we concern ourselves with. Why move heaven and earth to be together only to keep the past in the middle of the room and to me, choosing to kick all those magazines, tv shows and hosts, or other HW people who took issue with his split, or appeared to side with JA is “keeping the past in the middle of the room.” I’m more apt to believe he and Oprah won’t be lunching anytime soon, but even that may not be the case. Here it is straight no chaser….I don’t think he gives to much of a d@mn about what isn’t anymore. I may be wrong, and I’m not trying to cover myself should I be wrong, I’m just being honest about who I think the guy is, and I’m using basing totally on who I think he is, and I think he’s amazing.

The reason I think we shouldn’t buy this mag because it will send a message to the losers at Vanity Fair. A loud and clear message that you can’t mess with fans and the public like the way they have. I understand people want to show that there are still a lot of Brad fans out there, but there will be plenty of other magazine to buy. And when it comes to showing support, let’s just do that buy going to see his movies. The box office number should be proof enough for those who doubt his fan base. I say wait for other magazine covers that haven’t trashed Brad in the past and this time, don’t buy VF. But JMHO. Everyone has the right to make their decisions.

Original jpf - I understand what you are saying and I don’t think Brad’s the kind of guy to hold a grudge for a long time. Even though I don’t like Okra, I would not be surprised to see him go on her show again because like you said, he’s not one to live in the past. The reason I believe he is upset with VF is because it violates his trust, not because they maligned him in the past. I think he simply does not want his picture on the cover. Not because of the trashy interview X did with the magazine, but because all of this was done without his input. He found out about just like the rest of us and that’s got to upset him a little.

I said it before and I say it again, Vanity Fair makes People magazine looks like a Princess. it is as dirty and tabloid as they come.

For the love of me, I just don’t get what kind of schools their writers went to because in my book that aint journalism when it got no integrity and ethics.

Honestly, do they really think people are stupid…that because BP is on the cover, we’d automatically forget the disgusting things they wrote about AJ and her children?

I really don’t think that Brad gives a damn either. I don’t think it has to do something with the X VF interview. And I don’t think that by doing this he cares about the past. For Heaven sake this guy risked his reputation and fame to be with the woman he loves. When at the same time everybody were pointing fingers on him and calling him names. Just like Angie did. In all of his interviews he is talking about his family the present and the future. It’s not like he is suing the VF for saying something about his past. It’s just about because they used a picture to make their COVER without his permition and that is all. (IF he is indeed suing and IF TMZ story is accurate).It has nothing to do with the past. I’m sure Brad would do the same think if any other publication were using him without his approval.

OMG!! I am just now hearing this (TMZ and Brad’s dismay - possible legal action over the VF cover) - we called it you guys!! WE BUSTED EM’!!! LOLOL!! I knew Brad would be pissed off about this!! …and I knew ol’ sneaky ass VF had done this behind his back — see I am almost positive that when ‘da man’s’ article broke, Brad most likely swore to just cut them off cold.

It has nothing to do with him ‘living in the past’ IMO jpf - and everything to do with him simply not associating himself with a magazine that would print such lies and insult AJ the way they did. Forget about how they made him sound ( a lying cheating insensitive adulterous scumbag)- I honestly think that was secondary to the SLURS Angelina had to endure at the COW Benett’s and Maniston’s hands…Brad was DONE. Simple as that. …and anyone who knows Brad, knows that when he’s done…he’s DONE!

So to have this magazine sneakily go behind his back, and not only manipulate his image and place him on the cover - but to have them manipulate an artist and corrupt him with commerce, JUST TO GET ‘BRAD PITT’ on THEIR COVER (because they KNOW they can’t have him any other way!) - probably sickens him.

I’m sure VF thinks they’ve had the last laugh, getting at Brad like this - but I think they’ll be surprised at the backlash, if what TMZ is saying is true.

I KNEW WE WERE RIGHT!! I KNEW BRAD wouldn’t HAVE PERMITTED THAT!!

:-D

We know our man! LOL

AG —– OK I agree , hubby is getting ticked off lately…. Like what am I chopped liver crap. I have to agree with him, I just love to look at BP, of course hubby can’t be BP and I ain’t going to be AJ as much as I want to be. So we are going to watch the DVD together tonite, now that the trick-or-treat critters are done. We shall have fun :lol: Tell you all about it tomorrow….:lol: Well maybe not!!!!

COLD HARD MATH @ 10/31/2006 at 8:16 pm

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Welcome Back, Jared!

Brad has a lot more important things on his mind, than a VF cover:

Angelina.
Maddox.
Zahara.
Shiloh.

If Brad is not happy with VF, then we fans should NOT buy VF

from tmz.com

His (Brad) rep gave the following statement to TMZ: “We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine. It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives.”

We should pay special attention to the last sentence,
INTEGRITY and MOTIVES

ET showed a new Cameron Diaz photo spread…in some upcoming mag, can’t recall which one…maybe W? But her pics were gorgeous…she was airbrushed beyond belief, because everyone knows her skin looks like the moon, and her nose is like a hamhock….

…..but what struck me about the pics…is HOW MUCH, she or whomever was going for a serious Angelina-like quality….the long dark hair…the smoldering looks…Cameron was channeling AJ BIG TIME!

Is it just me, or does it slightly steam you to see people co-opting the Angie-ness (be it Madge, or Cam, or whomever)?

Plus, after years of saying she loved her broken flat messed up nose, Cameron is now saying, ‘I’m fixing it. I’m over it.’ LOLOL

That too is probably Angie related…seeing that gorgeous face and perfect schnoz on the cover of mags, puts even beauties like Cameron on high alert.

They need to do their own thing and get off of Angelina though.

There’s only one.

I really like to know the facts about issues from Brad and Angie themselves because everyone wants to cash in on their names, so let’s wait and see on the VF article.

“VF’s last cover show GC in very classy pics yet they showed Brad half naked. Brad wants the respect that is due him. If any magazine ask him to do a cover with his shirt off, I think he would say NO now. Sadly Wilson betrayed his kindness by letting VF use the pics.”

Good point.

I agree with Original jpf. I don’t think B or A hold any grudge against VF, at least not to the point of never doing an article with them, or be on their covers. They probably will never do an interview with L Bennett, and I think that’s about it.Just because she works for VF doesn’t mean she owns it or represents it. It’s all business. And the fact they put B&A on their cover is a flattery to B&A. They are saying, we know you are big movie stars, and our mags will sell with you on the cover. As for this issue to outsell the one with X last year, I am sure it won’t. Not because X has more fans than B&A, but because people know that there is no tell-all interview by BP in this issue. If there were something sensational to be revealed by BP, I am sure it will sell well.

That’s the whole thing ’says’ — I totally agree…..VF THINKS they’re being slick, linking Brad’s image to ‘The ART Issue,’ — GAWD, give me a break…

…they should just call it ‘The We Can’t Get Brad on The Damned Phone Because we Blew Our WAD by featuring his pathetic sad silly lame assed TV Sit-Com Hack of an EX, and her (and her friends) slurs against Brad & Angelina….NOW We’re Stuck w/ a D-Grade Actress and her Bloated Boyfriend Who Looks Like Quasimoto After Too Many Trips To Dunkin’ Donuts’ While MOVIE STARS Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Won’t Give Us the Time of Day!’ ISSUE.

dragonfly @ 10/31/2006 at 8:33 pm

Well, well, WELL! I have to say I was seriously taken aback by this whole VF cover thing. I agree with AG, I will not buy this mag. IF the TMZ article is true, and I know it may not be, but IF it is, then you guys are right that it is a sneaky underhanded thing to do, just to get BP on their cover. AND under this whole false pretense of it being an “ART ISSUE”. GMAFB! They don’t give two sh*ts about this Wilson dude, and no way would he be getting exposure in a national mag if he didn;t have the BP footage.

Brad probably feels betrayed.

…they should just call it ‘The We Can’t Get Brad on The Damned Phone Because we Blew Our WAD by featuring his pathetic sad silly lame assed TV Sit-Com Hack of an EX, and her (and her friends) slurs against Brad & Angelina….NOW We’re Stuck w/ a D-Grade Actress and her Bloated Boyfriend Who Looks Like Quasimoto After Too Many Trips To Dunkin’ Donuts’ While MOVIE STARS Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Won’t Give Us the Time of Day!’ ISSUE.

I doubt they would publish our letters, but have no problems publishing letters decrying VF’s choice, in the wake of the pain he caused X TWO YEARS AGO. But maybe there are other ways to let our feelings be known. I don’t know if an online petition is in order, but anyone who’s an expert about what to do, please advise.

stardust : October 31st, 2006 at 7:59 pm

Stardust, in my thinking, VF didn’t violate BP’s trust. Jennifer Aniston and her posse were the culprits. That interviewer was seriously unprofessional in allowing her own personal opinion to color the piece as it did, and she crossed the line as a journalist to the point that she shouldn’t even refer to herself as one anymore and keep a straight face while doing it, but even she at the end of the day did not violate BP’s trust. She asked the questions, she interjected her own peronal opinions, but it ultimately was Jennifer Aniston and the TGC who raked Brad over the coals, and Jennifer Aniston allowed it. I think I read somewhere that she cried foul on one part of it, but that’s it. In the end JA gave Leslie B. the interview, and VF printed it.

————————————————————————————————
Exactly…I couldn’t have said it better if I tried. It is the principle of the thing….(don’t ask what the thing is but believe me, there is a thing). Jeez, the more I think about it, the more peeved I am. I am well aware that it’s just business to them but they should also understand these are people’s lives. When that Silly woman…Leslie whatshername, was writing that crap, did it occur to her for one sec that AJ and BP’s kids might read this one day? Of course not, God forbid they actually think of something other than money. In my opinion, that article gave birth to the people we now call the Fanistons (lol). Say…. why aren’t they beating their golden girl’s door down….I’m sure people would loooove to know how she’s “coping” after her terrible ordeal…you know, the ordeal which warranted such a hateful article…My God, even people who have had loved one murdered don’t get that level of nastiness written about the murderers.

At this point, I’d gladly buy a dozen STAR magazines, 2 dozen In Touch, 2 dozen Life and styles and 4 dozens NE with BP on the cover before I buy VF. At least with these magazines, you know what you about to read is pure fiction and you don’t expect unbiased writing from them.

Original JPF and others, I agree that Brad isn’t going to get hung up and vindictive about talking to Vanity Fair, or Oprah. He’s a professional who’s going to do what needs to be done to promote this films, image etc.. I’m sure he understands the game and doesn’t take it all that personally.

It would be interesting to see if Brad actually signed away all rights to the use of his image to the photographer. The devil is in the fine print. Did he really sign away all rights? For example, did he sign away rights allowing the photos or video to be photoshopped and used in a pornographic movie? It would be interesting to find out if Brad does indeed pursue legal action against the photographer.

As for Lainey, I’m going to speak up in defence of that lady. She can’t help the conspiracy bit, she’s chinese. Gossip about clothes, relationships, whatever, aren’t really all that important and she is entitled to speculate - same as anyone else. At least she admits, she doesn’t know more then the next person what is happening in the BAMZS camp. She can speculate about Brad and Angelina but on the important issue of whether they had welched on giving to charity, she stepped up to the plate and won me over as a fan.

I’m pretty sure Brad and Angelina would want their charity work to be reported accurately.

Lainey DID WRITE TO THE AFRICAN CHARITIES and verified that the money was donated - which is more then you or I or what all those newspapers, including reputable ones like Sydney Morning Herald, had bothered to do, though the latter did print a correction. Lainey did write about how her sources had informed her that Brad stayed the whole day in HfH building, and now verified by PEOPLE magazine. When I read that he had only worked for 1/2 an hour, I knew people like Ritzygal was going to show up with the article. It would appear that these newspapers got it WRONG AGAIN.

I don’t think anyone needs to go on national TV or call People magazine to clarify whether or not they are or are not in a relationship, had or had not had a boob job, whatever, even if the news was reported in CNN or the BBC. I do think that reports on charitable work done by celebrities, should be responsibily and accurately reported because if people think that Celebrities are only doing it for publicity and are not going to follow through, it could turn the public off very worthwhile causes and issues. I for one, hope no one follows K Fed to Botswana or whereever he thinks he wants to go. he would make the seriousness of highlighting the plight of the poor and underprivileged in Africa, India, China and elsewhere a joke.

Because I said I wouldn’t buy a magazine that maligned him in the past and is being underhanded about the way they got these pics. That doesn’t mean that I won’t buy any other magazines that feature Brad or Angie on the cover. I’ll still buy those other magazines and I’ll still see their movies.

———————————-

I disagree ntt.

That’s the whole point. Brad’s people stressed ‘unauthorized’ — I don’t know too much about Hollywood, but I know enough that putting an ‘unauthorized’ photo - which was done FOR THE ARTIST by THE ACTOR…or any other kind of unauthorized pic, PERIOD, of a BIG MOVIE STAR is almost NEVER done. Especially when you’re talking mags of this caliber. Afterall, they’re not The Enquirer.

Reputable magazines almost always want it cleared with the big stars, precisely because they aren’t interested in winding up on the stars bad side, and having them not do another cover. Most stars are okay with old pics from old shoots (also known as ‘file’ shots) being used on the covers of mags like Good Housekeeping or Redbook or other magazines, that typically don’t conduct ‘photo shoots’ per se. It’s business for the mag, and publicity for the star.

But Brad is not only beyond that — Vanity Fair was thought to be BEYOND that as well. They are NOT some hairstyle magazine, they don’t need ti lower themselves to these kinds of machinations.

But having stooped so low with maniston, they haven’t got far to fall.

This is very telling, in that their actions tell me that Brad made it known a while back, that he was cutting ties or not working with them — and so VF is obviously not too concerned about burning bridges with Brad, hence we get him in his underwear, doing an artistic ‘thing’ that 90% of the public that watches ET or reads their mag, won’t get. This was a hit job on Brad, no mistake.

Something else he can thank Maniston for.

I’m sure they’ll repay Brad by having Maniston round two, in the not so distant future, or perhaps go one better and have a ‘revealing’ interview with Vaughn, and get Leslie Bennetts to do the write up. I can see it now, Vaughn will be positioned by the COW as the white knight who SAVED the whiny damsel in distress from her humiliation at the hands of the lying cheating scumbag who’s minus a sensitivity chip.

Mark my words. I call it.

To really turn the knife, they’ll have ‘Vaughniston’ hold court at the Vanity Fair party on Brad’s night.

This is the kind of stuff that gets editors w/ God complexes booted out the door.

hey ladies…..fellow BAMZS fans and my kababayans…..HAPPY HALLOWEEN and thanks to Jared and Audrey…for these pics…..

i just finished sending all this email to students coz of the application period and i just now have time to check jjs….i still have to send a hard copy of the letter to their home/current/permanent addresses coz some of those email addresses are not working….. :(

AG…..ITA….i never bought fashion magazine like VF except MORE….i’m a subscriber…early 40’s you know :) ….Brad should file a lawsuit against VF coz they used his image without his permission….his image is his trademark….that son of a gun VF is kissing his ass after they kicked him to the curve with that chinleatherskinton’s interview….slandering him and angie’s reputation….Braddy should also kick their asses back for using his image without his permission, eventhough the photo/videographer give a nod (maybe not???) to VF….consent for using his image is between him and the photog and i think he still has a say who can use it…..jmo….

okay ladies…..bbl…going home….i also need to buy candies coz some stragglers/kids may come to my door and trick or treat…. :)

Does anyone remember or have the article when it was first revealed that Brad was gonna do ESQ as his first interview after the crap last yr?

lylian - lainey is still full of —–.

“Jennifer Aniston and the TGC who raked Brad over the coals, and Jennifer Aniston allowed it. I think I read somewhere that she cried foul on one part of it, but that’s it”. jpf
+++++++++++

X went on LK, I think (I read it on Yahoo news), to comment on the article. Never said anything about L Bennett’s defamation of AJ, but did correct the ‘erroneous’ reporting that she cried twice in the interview. She said something like: “I was depicted as a crier, wasn’t I? I actually only cried once”. That’s why I despise her so much. She only cares about how she is perceived, and would give a damn on how others are slandered to make her look good. I actually was glad when I read her VF article. I thought right away that she shot herself in the foot. But I didn’t believe the article 100%, until she commented about it. She shot herself in the other foot with it. That’s why, BP was able to move on so quickly. People who didn’t read the article blame him for it, but the ones who did, say to him: “you go Brad! no more mr Nice Guy. That hag doesn’t deserve it.”

I don’t mind Lainey’s conspiracy theories except when she has a double standard. Paltrow goes to the Babel premiere and Lainey keeps mum and stops being her typical paranoid self, but as soon as Brad and Angie are photographed simply taking their kids to the park, conspiracies abound suddenly in her head. And she is simply demeaning the way she puts the fans down.

bluemoon - thanks, but it doesn’t give the whole article, i just wanted to point out something Cindy G said about why they went the ESQ to do the first interview….which tells me that Brad will not be doing GQ or VF for a very long time..
+======================

CLINIQUA

This is very telling, in that their actions tell me that Brad made it known a while back, that he was cutting ties or not working with them — and so VF is obviously not too concerned about burning bridges with Brad, hence we get him in his underwear, doing an artistic ‘thing’ that 90% of the public that watches ET or reads their mag, won’t get. This was a hit job on Brad, no mistake.

Totally Agree

I completely agree with you about Lainey. I couldn’t have said it better my self. And yes I applaud her for her effort to correct the false story about Brad and Angie’s donation in Namibia but lets be realistic here. She didn’t do it because she wants her readers to know the truth. She did it simply to show off and be the queen of the “psychotic Brangelinas” as she called us today!

OMG!! I am just now hearing this (TMZ and Brad’s dismay - possible legal action over the VF cover) - we called it you guys!! WE BUSTED EM’!!! LOLOL!! I knew Brad would be pissed off about this!! …and I knew ol’ sneaky ass VF had done this behind his back — see I am almost positive that when ‘da man’s’ article broke, Brad most likely swore to just cut them off cold.

It has nothing to do with him ‘living in the past’ IMO jpf - and everything to do with him simply not associating himself with a magazine that would print such lies and insult AJ the way they did. Forget about how they made him sound ( a lying cheating insensitive adulterous scumbag)- I honestly think that was secondary to the SLURS Angelina had to endure at the COW Benett’s and Maniston’s hands…Brad was DONE. Simple as that. …and anyone who knows Brad, knows that when he’s done…he’s DONE!

^^^

I respect your opinion, but just like mine, it still is an opinion. There hasn’t been anything concrete to suggest that either of our mindsets are the correct one, and until something comes along to change that, this simply is a matter of each having decided that what we individually think, is the more likely route he’d take. I’m in no way ever going to suggest that what I choose to believe is gospel when I’ve come to my opinion piecemeal; taking this said, that said, and choosing to view Brad as someone not sweating any of this. You may be very correct, but I’m just not comfortable saying something is etched in stone when it hasn’t even been written in sand that I know of.

Stardust, in my thinking, VF didn’t violate BP’s trust. Jennifer Aniston and her posse were the culprits. That interviewer was seriously unprofessional in allowing her own personal opinion to color the piece as it did, and she crossed the line as a journalist to the point that she shouldn’t even refer to herself as one anymore and keep a straight face while doing it, but even she at the end of the day did not violate BP’s trust. She asked the questions, she interjected her own personal opinions, but it ultimately was Jennifer Aniston and the TGC who raked Brad over the coals, and Jennifer Aniston allowed it. I think I read somewhere that she cried foul on one part of it, but that’s it. In the end JA gave Leslie B. the interview, and VF printed it.
jpf
—————————————————————————————————
jpf…I totally get what you’re saying but Leslie whatsherface is a representative of VF. Let’s say, she lost all objectivity as soon as the door opened, Ms. Crybaby aka Woman-child burst into uncontrollable tears…. she sees this and thinks “God damn you Angelina Jolie…. wherever you are. How can you do this to this poor innocent soul? Oh, I now crown myself avenger of the defenseless” she then proceeds to add her own little side notes like “the twice-divorced Jolie — previously known as a tattooed vixen with a taste for bisexuality, heroin, brotherly incest, mental institutions, and wearing her husband’s blood…..woman who adopts children to cover up scandals, who uses her UN job for publicity” into the article, okay… we can still excuse this by saying she fell for the poor me act but then the editor reads it and does not call her on it….like “Okay Les, Hon…this is not your husband or the guy who stood you up last week…so chill out on the whole name calling and the personal opinion thingy, okay”, instead she lets it go to print. Come now, where is the objectivity….any first year Media comm. Student knows about taking a neutral stance during an interview where your freaking opinion isn’t called for. Jeez, I wonder where the editor was, when they taught that one in class…probably nursing a hangover. Anyway, the fact that VF allowed that article, with avenger Leslie’s own personal feelings peppered all over it, to be published is what I have a problem with.

I agree with you that BP is not holding a grudge…the man is way too busy to think about it and my feelings aren’t based on whether or not he might be holding a grudge. My disgust stems from is they fact that, after what they wrote about him, VF makes no bones about using his image without his consent for an article that isn’t about him…because they know it’s gonna sell.

Jennifer Aniston Is No Big Cry Baby Boo-Boo

November 7th, 2005 at 14:30 by Stuart Heritage

Jennifer_aniston_newsweekThe imaginary Jennifer Aniston/Angelina Jolie competition for the world’s affection continues. Jolie knows a lot about world issues and stuff, so Aniston has hit back by having an interview published in Newsweek.

In the Newsweek article Seven Things I’d Rather Talk About… Than the Men in (or Out) of My Life, Jennifer Aniston takes the opportunity to air her hard-hitting views about the world in a Serious Publication. And what did she choose to talk about? The fact that she probably doesn’t cry as much as we think she cries. Smart move…

Jennifer Aniston has a reputation. She’s seen as a flake, as the
sad-eyed, self-obsessed woman who has spent every second since her
separation from Brad Pitt being a chain-smoking wreck who has to scream at
the sea to ease her pain. But that’s apparently not the case.

Having a full-on emotional breakdown during a Vanity Fair interview
probably didn’t help Jennifer Aniston all that much - crying and
blubbering through your first post-split interview tends to give the
impression that you’re, you know, a little unstable.

And in Newsweek, Aniston got the chance to hit back. She said (in point 3, entitled How Little I Actually Cry):

“I’m pegged as a crier, aren’t I? I was upset about the Vanity Fair
article. I had one moment when I got emotional because I hadn’t sat
down with an interviewer since this whole debacle took place. It
happened for a second and then it was over. But I do cry when I watch
shows about babies being born. And I can turn on Terms of Endearment
at any point and start crying—or The Champ, with Rick Schroder.”

See? She doesn’t cry a lot. Just at films. And baby programmes. And
interviews. Quite a lot of things, really. In fact, Jennifer probably
cries more than we thought she did.

But that’s just the tip of her wisdom iceberg. Aniston imparts all
kinds of crazy knowledge throughout the Newsweek article, including:

“I had never done a thriller before.”

“Nothing is worse than a guy with an eye job—and don’t think we can’t tell.”

“Where are all the sitcoms?”

“How about that indictment?!”

“I also want to know why Steve Perry left Journey.”

Attagirl, Jen.

With respects to Lainey, while she does admit that she fascinated with BAMZS, I do think that she placates the straggler X fans who still read her blog. Personally, I don’t think it’s at all necessary for her to label us ‘Brangelunies’ simply because some fans are dilligent enough to contact her about incorrect info. I like her analysis, but she definitely gets off on getting people pissed off at her and unfortunately, some of us are feeding into her compulsion.

Original jpf - When I mentioned that VF violated Brad’s trust, I meant about the pictures, not the interview with X. X violated Brad’s trust and privacy by doing that interview with VF, but that is the past. I was refering to the comment that TMZ stated:

“Pitt’s lawyers are said to be weighing their legal options. His rep gave the following statement to TMZ: “We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine. It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives.”

So she cries when she watches The Champ with Rick Schroeder, well guess who was the lead in that movie: Jon Voight.

“I’m pegged as a crier, aren’t I? I was upset about the Vanity Fair

Thanks Funny, that’s it. So it was in Newsweek. See what I mean? She was upset about the VF article, only because she was said to have cried a few times. Not because ofthe lies said about AJ.
And she cries when she watches shows about babies being born, is that her way to say that she likes to give birth? No wonder Lainey calls her the Queen of Fraud.

ntt, thanks for the compliment.

Just a little more in defence of Lainey. I agree that she writes a lot of SH** a lot of the time, like other gossip columnists, especially when it comes to the BAMZS who seem to have locked down on all their leaks. On my scale of reading Gossip SH**, I would place Lainey above any of the Tablies except People Magazine or an actual interview. I would also place Lainey above Ted C, who IMHO, seems most truly overflowing with SH**. I can never understand that guy. (Is that just me or is it you. I’ve stopped reading TC)

When Lainey writes well, it is entertaining to read her SH**. At least, where BAMZS are concerned, she isn’t saying they are splitting up or what ever. She just doesn’t know and just speculates, like the rest of us.

Anyway, we can all agree to disagree on the matter of Lainey bcoz, in the scheme of things, except when Lainey is clarifying Brad and Angelina’s charity efforts, the rest of her column is just fluff to entertain ourselves with. Not life and death, which the charities could be. Will BB much later.

Sooooo…..it’s OK if I STEAL the magazine? ;)

jpf,

Whatever - this isn’t a competition. I respect your opinion, mine just happens to differ - and I said why. I’m not about one upmanship, that’s not where I come from. I enjoy talking and discussing and various differing opinions don’t bother me at all…I welcome them! So your tone is not needed. I hold the opinion I do because Brad has indeed issued a statement, which in my opinion validates what I’m saying. If Brad hadn’t done that, IMO what you say would make a great deal of sense. But at the end of the day - he’s ‘disappointed’ that they used and unauthorized image and questions their ‘motives and integrity.’ That’s a VERY strong statement, that tells me where he’s coming from. You may not see it that way - and that’s cool. But in my experience, it’s pretty unprecedented.

Hey big A, yea I got your email and please check your email if all of ‘em came through.

Brad is doing exactly what he said he will do in 2005 Sawyer interview; He can’t get out of the press so he would bring them to those who can’t get into the press. A certain sitcom actress can learn from him and do something for others for change. As Lainey says, sniffing on Oprah’s couch doesn’t feed babies.

Thanks Angelah, I am sure that R. will really appreciated it :)

Here is Brad Pitt as you’ve never seen him before. Clad in a pair of white boxer shorts, the 42-year-old Hollywood star oozes sex appeal.

The image, which features on the cover of the latest edition of Vanity Fair, is the work of avant-garde New York impresario Robert Wilson.

CLICK HERE to check out the video art starring Brad. It was inspired by the character Winnie in Samuel Beckett’s play ‘Happy Days.’ Wilson’s subjects were asked to “think of nothing” and limit their movements to one or two slow-motion gestures.

The resulting high-definition video was then turned into a sequence, with each portrait costing about $50 000 to produce. The work will be displayed at New York galleries in January.

Vanity Fair is out on November 9.

Also, can I ask what those three little balls on Brad’s face are supposed to be? Is that supposed to be water droplets?? See - that’s the thing, this is just so avante garde and so not appropriate for a magazine cover - ya know? It just doesn’t TRANSLATE. But more than anything VF’s disingenuousness is so blatantly obvious - they could give a f**k about ‘The ART issue.’ They want BRAD PITT on the cover to move some magazines. End. of. story. They were hoping to get it out without this breaking that they USED HIM. I just think it’s shameful.

Today’s show is featuring Madonna tomorrow, I think. Madonna said she knew they were going say her adoption was a PR job because she heard what they said about Angie but she never expected people to say she kidnapped a baby. Also ET is going to show Angie in TGS but I didn’t hear when. Does anyone know when?

I’m really disappointed that you’ve viewed this as anymore than my opinion being expressed. I thought I chose my words carefully and with a determined plan to not have them be viewed as anything other than “this is how I see it, and how I see it differently than you see it.” I’m not at all sure what you mean by “your tone is not needed.” That one sincerely confuses me, and I’m truly sorry that an opposing view can’t be debated without it being seen as simply what it is, and opposing view. It’s all good. In the grand scheme of it all I’m sure we both have bigger fish to fry.

Original curious @ 11/01/2006 at 12:02 am

Been too busy again. *sigh* It’s so late now, and I really need to get to bed. However, I did want to post that if you look at the pictures JJ has, in one of them you can see Brad’s ring in the shower shots. That means it had to have been 2004 that they were shot.

Thanks for the pictures JJ. I really appreciate them.

How are you all doing?

ITA with Lylian about Lainey. She’s right more than most, and her “conspiracies” are part of her trademark if you will.

JPF, I agree about Brad not holding a grudge with VF. I’m sure he won’t be happy if these pictures are used without his permission, but I’m also sure the magazine [which, aside from it's Hollywood interviews, is actually quite good] checked whether the photog had the rights before they put him on the cover. Really, for his PR, it’s not the worst thing in the world to be seen as sexy and a bit avant garde is it?

Sorry jpf, I took your post as more than a bit condescending. one gets the feeling you’re more about the admonishment of what you believed to be a stated certainty on my part. Well, I’m not 100% sure of anything - all of this is speculation, and I have never said otherwise.

So overall, I got a scolding vibe from your posting.

If I took it wrong, my apologies - but read your post again, and I think you’ll understand where I’m coming from.

We’re all adults here, and the incessant reiterating of how our opinions are just THAT, and we can’t KNOW the truth yada yada..is not necessary, and comes off as if you’re a bit resentful that someone has the audacity to disagree with your pov. Who cares? The world would be a boring place if we were all in lockstep.

Who’s afraid to holler I?
That’s a game we used to play.
Hide and seek was its name.
Oh ready or not, hear I come,
Gee that used to be such fun.
I always used to find a hiding place,
Times have changed.
Well I’m one step behind you, but still I can’t find you
Apple peaches pumpkin pie,
You were young and so was I.
Now that we’ve grown up it seems
You just keep ignoring me.
I’ll find you anywhere you go,
I’ll follow you high and low.
You can’t escape this love of mine anytime.
Well, I’ll sneak up behind you,
Be careful where I find you.
Apple peaches pumpkin pie,
Soon your love will be all mine.
Then I’m gonna take you home,
Marry you so you won’t roam.(2x)
Right now I’ll find you anywhere you go,
I’m gonna look high and low.
You can’t escape this love of mine anytime.
Well, I’ll sneak up behind you,
Be careful where I find you.

Okay, this ***** is making me mad.

First of all, she SAID she doesn’t read newspapers or watch TV, she SAID she didn’t know what they were saying about her until she got back to the UK and CLAIMED her ‘friends’ had to tell her - and YET, on THE TODAY SHOW, you’re telling me that she busts out that she’s heard ‘what they say about Angie’ (re adopting babies for ‘PR’ I guess?) Well, I’m sorry - but that’s ******* BULLSHIT. Don’t be dragging Angelina into your mess lady — no one is saying that about Angelina, they are saying that about YOU *****. Stick with the program and don’t go dragging Angie into your fix. She didn’t say anything of the kind on Oprah, so why is she name dropping AJ NOW??!! See - this is the kind of patently disingenuous crap I can’t stand. Next she’ll be singing ‘Me and Angelina against the world.’ What she’s saying doesn’t even make ******* sense - and she’s doing it because she KNOWS they are saying that SHE is emulating Angelina for the GOOD press, she hopes it will bring her. Believe me, if the overall consensus and public perception was NEGATIVE about AJ adopting kids from 3rd world countries, you better believe, MADONNA wouldn’t be doing it NOW. She went to Africa because she THOUGHT it would be seen, LIKE ANGELINA, as a positive. She is trying to re-write history and taint AJ’s adoptions with her stain. Ugh. Yes, I’ve changed my mind about Madonna if she’s going to say what you imply. That is f**ked up.

That was about the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Now, come on people, if anyone else had done this, you would have been in hysterical fits of laughter! I’m sure you’ll all say it’s so avant garde and all that artsy crap, but he just doesn’t sell it. And, I don’t know what you guys are smokin’ but there is just no sex appeal in that clip…NONE, NADA, ZILCH!!

Jumping in here a little late into the discussion.

Original Curious, the cover shot isn’t all that bad and no it’s not the worst thing in the world. You said that it looks “sexy”. That’s what others have been pointing out from their posts, that Brad, judging from his recent interviews, does not want to be seen as “sexy” or the guy who poses in his boxers. He wants to be seen as a father, a man, not a Hollywood pretty boy who is just sexy. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind appearing sexy but from now, but he probably wants to do that with his clothes on from now on. This picture is Brad from 2004. The pictures show a Brad that was prior to Angelina being in his life, prior to him becoming a dad to three kids, prior to him being villified by the media. This was pretty boy Brad. His life has changed and he wants to reflect that in his interviews, in his movies and the images he puts out there. So it might not be the worst thing in the world to happen to him, but it does put out a false notion of the image Brad is trying to project to the world. That’s my take on it and I will not buying this Vanity Fair because this isn’t the Brad I’m a fan of. The image above is of the old Brad. I like the new Brad way better and because Vanity Fair is a lying piece of garbage!!!

Jonathon ,

He’s not supposed to be “selling it”. He’s not supposed to be appear sexy in them. The artist told his subjects to do nothing and project a lifeless image from every person he captured on film. You know, maybe buying this issue would be good for you so you could read up on the artist and learn some background info about the artist and his work before you tell us what Brad is or isn’t selling.

a little OT:
—–
You had a lot of big-name stars playing ensemble roles in the film. How did that work?

(Alejandro) “I think it was a great experience for these actors not to have the burden of the film on their shoulders, just to be playing one more character and blend themselves into humanity. I think that’s the art of transformation. So it was a great challenge for them and for me, to get these very recognizable actors just melted down in humanity—that’s what the film’s about. I wanted Brad Pitt to play a guy closer to his 50s who’s been through a very big emotional time, struggling in his life. I wanted him to be more mature, have more gravity. He wasn’t playing a young boy here—he was playing a mature father. I thought it was a good decision.”

Hey JPF - when you see this post e-mail me…realitychick691@yahoo.com

i know Brad took off the wedding band when the Hag filed papers for divorce. i remember reading that in the mag back then , around 3/25/05.

actually that VF doesnt look sexy to me. to me, Brad looks sexy in those “housing projects” pics.

I definitely will not buy the VF mag. i am saving my money for
Vogue (with Angie’s pic)

babel

I’d like to be that trickle of water rolling down the middle of his chest to his “happy trail”. I’d also like to be under his shirt in # 13 *sigh*

Contless “astrologer” kept saying Chinnifer would have baby soon, while her shallow brain was occupied by the ambition to become the biggest movie star and there was no room for love for husband or future children.

Ritzygal: I would not waste my time on that woman, unless she predicted the assasinations of the Gandhis. Noticed that they only mentioned her predictions but not even cited any one of her old predictions that came true. I think that is just another of the websites that uses Brad and Angie’s name to attract hits.

Wow, i think you are seriously making it a career to be the messenger of any B&A negative news.

One thing for sure, Brad and Angie will always share the bond of parenthood and share the lives of their children. I can also envision the person who supposedly can predict possibilities and successes a QUACK!

Hell, I LOVE Brad and Angelina but even I don’t think A Mighty Heart wil be a succcess. She deosn’t have a huge following and tis movie has a large production budget. I hope I am prove wrong.

But the STRONG POSSIBILITY that Drad will get back together with aniston is a JOKE!!!

Fiona is right, this ritzygal seems to be googling the internet for all the negative news about Brad and Angie and then pasting it here — hoping to get a rise out of us true BAMZS fans. I just laugh at her posts, looking at her like a child trolling for attention, but this thing about Brad and Jen getting back together is so beyond ridiculous I nearly sprayed my terminal with my Sierra Mist. HA HA HA! He did not even mention his ex-wife in any of his interviews, it’s all about Maddox, Zee and Shi — and yet he’s going back to the barren womb? BWA HA HA! Thanks ritzy, nothing gets a good early morning start better than hearty laughter.

Can anyone here picture BA going to an astrologer, much less an astrologer in India, where everyone who comes in contact with them, including hotel staff, blabs to the press about anything and everything BA before they are out of earshot of BA and their entourage? I suspect that India has caught on to the fact that anything negative about BA spells dollars.

I doubt this movie has a large budget. Plus success in this type of movie has little to do with making money but with getting critical acclaim such as with GC Good Night and Good Luck.

Buahahahahahahha!! OMFG! Are you on crack Ritz?? An astrologer??? Well I suppose she reads to much Life&Style.. Yes I’m sure Brad will live his family to go back to chin.And this Hag didn’t even explained the reason of her prediction and she didn’t even said when it will happen like other astologers are doing.I can make a f***ing site like heres and predict that Tom Cruise will change his mind and get hinched with X. LOL! Brad turned his life upside down. He became a father of three. He always talks about his family and the future and how much his life have change for the better by saying “my life was not meaningful before” (in a recent French interview).They have been inseparable for tow whole years. They are doing everything together and all that because Brad will go back to X. Seriously can you give me something of what you are smoking???

Original curious @ 11/01/2006 at 7:17 am

Good point re sexy Brad Syd. I hadn’t thought of it in that regard. I guess being a fan of his, and knowing where he was [or thinking I do] emotionally when this video was shot had me adding gravitas which may not be intended.

Ritzy- can you please try to find something negative to post? All your positive posts are getting to be too much. *sarcasm INTENDED*

Sorry I haven’t been around very much. Real life seems to be rearing it’s ugly head at every opportunity lately. :(

If this Astrologer can predict anything right and sharp. then she could be the richest man on earth. never believed those Quack prediction.

Ritzygal, Oh Ritzygal! I thought I would never have to use your post again, but of course I am a hopeless optimist. Please shelf your bitchy self and have more resolutions like these:

Hitler didn’t make a move without advice of his astrologer, see how well that turned out! Besides, even if you do believe in this stuff, any astrologer worth his salt will tell you that they can’t draw up an accurate chart without an individual’s time of birth. This info will determine your rising sign, which has a strong effect on your overall personality. Now, be gone little insect while I finish my coffee.

Good Morning All,
So glad to see JJ is up and running….logging on is now the new early morning coffee. I hope it keeps working.

piper with a low p
Lmao…..what an image. Oh yeah, we can totally see BP visiting an astrologerfor what the future holds. Of course, this is the same man who said you have to make things happen for yourself…… Oy, what to believe….what to believe? And the bit about BP going back to JA….hilarious, honestly, that…is without a doubt, the funniest joke of the day, nothing is gonna top this….well except if the astrologer says that JA and BP will have twins…..not adopted.

Babel info
And this is still based on the limited release? Honestly, forget about magazine sales, this is the true measure of BP’s star power. JA can have the bestseller
magazine cover, for all I care…..besides that’s about the only thing she can sell these days. This bit of info shows hardwork did not go to waste….unlike someone who spent the freaking year churning out crappy movies no one wanted to see. You know, looking at it from that angle, that’s got to hurt…I mean seriously, there she is bursting her guts making movies and no one pays attention….Awww, now I feel sorry for her…. C’mon people, please let her retain her title as bestselling VF cover girl. What will become of her if we took that away? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be responsible for that woman’s breakdown.

Okay I clicked on the astrologer’s site and OMG! the man is hillarious!
(BTW I didn’t know he was male LOL!)
Anyway the dude dosen’t even know to make horoscope analysis right.Let alone making prediction! Check out what he said about X’s horoscope:

“She is very generous, kind hearted, assertive and positive minded person.”
———-
How generous and kind of her to sell her personals because “the public needed to know” by trying to destroy her “soulmates” reputation and question his character because she can not accept her own mistakes and admit her half part of the failure of her marriage and play the ultimate “victim” because there was no other way to extend her carrier without Brad because of her lack of talent. And also allowed direct slurs about a woman she don’t even know personally to make her self look more pitiful and gain the public’s sympathy through something that any other woman with some class would have kept it private.How kind and generous of her to forget to thank her husband in front of the whole Hollywood.How kind and generous of her to say publicly that “he was not the love of her life”. How generous and kind of her to say that even when she first met him “the guy was not intersting”.How generous and kind of her to not give a slite peny or make an effort to help the people in need.
Need I say more??

“She is ready to accept certain risks and to make strong commitment in exchange for interesting and varied work.She is cool headed and open-minded person who always welcomes constructive suggestions.”
————
She wasn’t even ready to take just one year of work to start a family with the person “she will always love” in 7 years of a relationship when at the same time she knew how much her “soulmate” wanted children because she couldn’t let a child to be a barded for her ambitiousness to be a movie star. She couldn’t even sacrifice some hours of her life to go and see her husband who was away for six months and she had to force her self to do it. She couldn’t even spent some time to learn about the things her husband liked to be involved with like charity and architecture and preferred to make fun of him because of that instead.Let alone that she is accusing every one else for her uncaccesfull carrier.

“Her children would be the main source of inspiration or bring him the happiness.”

Her children will not be any inspiration of her because she never wanted to have them in the first place! She even refuses to babysit her own GODDAUGHTER!If he was talking about dogs then yes.But kids? Big No for her.

BTW-I think he accidentaly comfuses X with Angie.LOL!

And at the end he said that X may have chances to get Brad back because their horoscopes are muching.(If you don’t consider that watever he said about X is total bullshit!)

But he failed to mention the same thing in Brad’s horoscope.Only on X’s.
And if you read cearfully what he says about Angie you can perfectly “predict” that he is a mayor Faniston! LOL!

——————————————————————————

Exactly. Both Babel and a Mighty Heart are indies and their respective production budgets are $20 -25 million. Financial success at the box office for either of these films is anywhere from $50 - 60 million. The real goal is to receive critic awards.

When Plan B was formed the goal was not only to produce box office hits, but also to use the profit from those to fund movies which may not be commercial. Stories chosen for their substance rather than general appeal. Brad appreciates art very much (you can see by the Liebowitz photo on the bed, the artful spread in W, and of course the subject of this thread), in architecture, and films. Robert Redford does the same thing with Sundance. I don’t believe he measures all success in $$$$$.

Holy crap, people! I post things that I find that are new and that are out there because I thought that anyone who spends as much time obsessing over these two as WE do, would want to know what is being written about them REGARDLESS of whether it was positive, or negative or hysterically ridiculous as the astrologer piece. It’s just information. And since it’s in the Indian Press, maybe THEY might come across it, too.

In the very early morning I do a sweep of the Internet to check what has happened overnight as it relates to my job but I also check if anything has happened or has been written about with these two. Because John Kerry is an overreaching, desperate buffoon and has made my workload over the next 6 days HARDER, I really didn’t have time to write anything about how I KNOW THAT THIS STORY WAS A JOKE. Nor did I think I would have to since it seemed pretty obvious. It made me laugh. It made Breseis laugh and that was the point.

GO BABEL GO!

ANISTON THE HAG! @ 11/01/2006 at 9:18 am

This Soni person, an astrologer from Pune, could be reading & surfing tabloid news. And read about Brad is going back & phoning the X so thinking it is the truth & tell that in his prediction according to the stars. And since he also reading a lot of negative reports on Angelina he took it as it is. I gues these kind of people do not dig deep to decide reality. They all depend on issues at face value & hearsay.

I think that Brad doing Humans for Habitat is going to link up his project in NO with HfH. I have a strong feeling that when his Global Green project is being built, he will hook up with HfH in someway so people can volunteer to help build the project. Imagine if he does that. I think he’ll attract a queue of people to volunteer. They’d have to turn people away. LOL.

Wow, the Babel opening in Sweden was really good when you look at the number of screens. The number two movie had double the amount of screens and the number one 4 times as many.

Do you know how much it cost to make Babel?

Do NOT re-post or link or pass along anything sh*tzygal posts. You guys pegged her correctly, she’s out to post whatever crack inspired negative ‘news’ she can find. Everyone knows India has the most bullshit crazy ass websites known to man, designed to do one thing - generate hits. Have you been to some of these Indian ‘news’ wire sites lately and tried to click out of them?? It’s impossible. I acually had to close my damned browser and re-boot. It’s like the Indians are the Kings & Queens of pop-ups and worm their way inside your PC, an hour after you’ve gone to a website. **** was ppping up, horoscopes, fashion, celebrity bollywood crap, an HOUR after I had closed the window. Don’t ask me how they do it - I think it has something to do with tens of thousands of them, even average joes and janes over there - being tech geeks.

So f**k off sh*tzy. You know we have you clocked. Shall we post all the LEGIT horoscopes that said Brad & Angie were MADE for each other, are soulmates, and will never part??

Quit with the ridiculousness. Get a life Liz.

how do I get on a souliejolie message board? I was on the other day and those people had some great links. I logged in and everything but can’t get on to a board from the home page.

“Time Traveler’s Wife” hooks director
Wednesday November 1 3:07 AM ET

German director Robert Schwentke (”Flightplan”) is in final negotiations to shoot “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” a love story based on the celebrated book by Audrey Niffenegger,

The New Line Cinema project follows a man who has a genetic disorder known as “chrono-impairment,” which causes him to travel through time involuntarily.

Steven Spielberg and David Fincher both flirted with the project, and Gus Van Sant was in negotiations to direct it early last year. No star is attached at this time.

You know I like Lainey. I enjoy how much she makes me laugh. Intentional or otherwise. But she CAN be annoying. The whole everything is for PR stuff she says is bs. She thinks that if she is proven right once it means she is justified in her PR ideas. Which is a **** why to try to win an argument. But what I do like about her is she is at least willing to talk it out with the people that read her blog. If she is wrong and you email her she will correct her mistake. I can take her more than Ted C. and the rest of the boring gossips. Also, since we were on the subject of correcting the whole Namibia charity gossip that was posted on Raderonline. There was a FAN on this blog! that did a lot of hard work to correct that story. I forget her name right now. So if anyone deserves credit it wa the fan not JUST Lainey.

And the Paltrow thing from last week was interesting. Lainey will always go for the conspriacy. But the min. it’s Paltrow she has nothing to say other than her nose matches her husbands which means a happy marriage for Paltrow? LOL! Whatever lol!

I agree with Clinqua about the VF issue. Of course Brad is not at home or in India seething over what GQ and VF did to him but I doubt he has good feelings for them. They ie Leslie Bennets did a nasty thing with the JA interview. It’s not about being petty. It’s about respect. They disrespected Angelina, their children, the marriage he had with JA, and his integrity. Why on God’s green earth would Brad Pitt want to let bygones be bygones? They did some low things last year.

IMO Brad did Esq. because he does not plan on working with VF or GQ any time soon. And they know it.

Brad builds again (from 11/1 laineygossip)

Taken today in India. ( new pics)

He’s back, he’s building, he is the f&cking hotness, seriously my loins, out of control, has Brad Pitt ever been sexier? A father, an activist, a philanthropist…and a BUILDER

This, my fellow gossips, is why I’ve been married for almost 5 years. My husband builds things too.

thanks, julia

lots of pictures….feast for my eyes !!!!
now, these pictures are hot. !!!! smoking hot !!!!

dragonfly @ 11/01/2006 at 3:52 pm

WOW!! Brad is juicy on that ladder, yessiree! Now that’s a real man.

And call me wierd, but to me, Angie’s Man looks way sexier on a contruction site all sweaty and grungy than he does on that ridiculous VF cover in white tube socks and baggy boxers. The white socks and droopy drawers are so…I dunno, Day Room at the Nursing Home, or something like that. Of course the fact that VF is using it under a false pretense of wanting to feature the artist makes it a double turn-off.

Sorry I have not had much time to be online for a while, but life calls. Glad to see all you guys here.

Hey Jared, please use the Yahoo pics as the next pic for Brad. It is better than the other ones.

Thank God JJ is back up. People website has a new pic of Brad, wearing hard hat.

Thank you girl!!! My Lord Brad is the hotness!! His smile makes him even hotter!!
I agree that he is working for HFH to promote the Global Green project in some way! (and not for the Oscar Lainey) That’s my Zen master! He is a happy family man and it shows from all over his face and body! He said that having a family made him more efficient and full of energy. And he uses all this inspiration on a great cause! Way to go Braddy ! Mama Angie and the little ones will be proud of you!

(((((NEW THREAD!!!)))))

I can’t believe VF. I really can’t. I’ve never been that big into celebrity gossip or pop culture in general until recently, but what I realize now is how manipulative the media really is.

I plan on going to Grad school for Journalism and this stuff is fascinating. Never in my life have I seen such a lack of journalistic integrity. I read that VF article by JA and I thought it was manipulative, but I’ve been trying to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I realize now that it’s clear. VF is no more than a “high class tabloid”, which is just as bad as a “high class hooker.”, sounds better than a prostitute but still the same damn thing.

There is one part of the VF article which to me is a blatant lie. I’m actually going to look it up again just to make sure my eyes didn’t deceive me.

This is also an election year and what the media does with celebrity when an election year is here is just fascinating. All the drama and scandal come out to distract the masses.

Clinqua you really called it girl!

Also it explains a lot to me. Every time I see BP in photograph these days I see him glaring at the camera. Some people take that as his misery with Jolie, but he’s not glaring at her, he’s glaring directly at the camera. He’s obviously upset. It’s the same feeling I got when he was being interviewed by Diane Sawyer when she started in on his personal life. His response to her was classic, and I quote it myself sometime, he said “I’m a 42-year-old man and I don’t feel like I’m in the position to have to explain myself.” I thought it was brillant and a good way to tell the media to **** off!

I doubt that Pitt is sitting around at home seething in anger over this, but he doesn’t trust the media and it’s obvious. They have crossed the line with him and the only thing he’s giving them these days are stories that have little to do with his personal business and they are pissed off about that because they know that BP sells. For all the detractors like Jonathan and Ritzygal, they know at the end of the day BP = their bread and butter and the minute he might crack and give them a nugget of info about his personal business is the minute they will all try and be his best friend.

This ****’s amazing.

Mrs. Smith @ 11/01/2006 at 5:09 pm

Great to have you back Jared. Thanks for the picx. VF will NOT get my money after that hatchet job Leslie The ***** Bennet did on Brad and Angie last year. Much as Brad’s old hunting buddy (a la Cliniqua) did her share, IMO, LB did the worst kind of biased and unfair reporting I have ever seen. If VF was OK with that kind of reporting, then they are worse than NE, or Star, because they they are using their reputation of not being the usual tabloid rag, to in fact, publish the most sensationalistic, biased article. Everytime I think of that VF article, I still get angry. So yes, I’ll wait for Vogue, Babel, TGS. I hope that People will print these SEXY, SWEATY picx of Brad soon so I can buy it.

as fast as @ 11/01/2006 at 8:43 pm

Since Brad or Angelina don’t pose for VF, people see VF as a Team Aniston Magazine. It must be nightmare to VF brain. Being in too old news is never nice for a fashion magazine.
I have one idea for VF. Have environment issue or UN issue!
