AG— How true!!!
I think we should ask JJ to throw a pity party after we are done with a thread to help our beloved lost friends, just say” flood gates are open BAMZS fans as usual moved on, since they live in the present and here you go, just have a ball w/o the sledge hammer over your heads from those gloating BAMZS fans and their ability to prove you guys wrong eveytime you quote a ragazine” :lol:
Do you know I must have posted my email over ten times here and asked whom ever I was going at it with at the time, to take it off line so that we wouldn’t ruin everyones fun. Guess what NOT one of them contacted me, cause then I would have their emails, plus they don’t get the attention they want. AG are you back to 100% yet ?

Come on TP I know it is 4 am in Athens but I have faith in you , you can do both jobs, ohh btw how strong are you???? :lol:
I know its not fair, but this Britney divorce will be great for Brad and Angelina, the tabloids now have their covers for at least one month, the divorce, the reasons, the new Britney, the cameback….
And a month or maybe more out from the tabloid trash, is always good.
Rumorz: Is This Britney Divorce Thing Fake?
Out of the many emails I got about Britney’s divorce to KFed, this one was very interesting. It comes from someone that claims they are close to the Britney camp. I’m going to take it at face value, but what they say makes complete sense:
MK – Don’t believe the Britney divorce. I’m sort of in with her circle of friends and I know for a fact she’s not going to leave him. She’s just doing this to scare him and gain some sympathy votes from the media. She went on Letterman, cause Kevin thought she was at the hotel crying over him. She is using the divorce to scare him. They are already talking to each other and texting all the time on their mobiles. She always threatened divorce on him and he never believed her. She’s hoping he will change his ways. I think she also knows that this can change her image and is using it. They will get back together. ****, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are already back together.

I’ll have to disagree with you. To me, it’s already dying down, although so many people dreamt of this day. The end of this marriage won’t be hotly contested, like BP and X. There really aren’t anything titillating about it, unlike the press and X fans’ insistence that AJ had something to do with the end of the Golden Age. For some reason, it seems that BP’s recent life changes was the pinnacle of Hollywood ’scandal’. IMO, BP and AJ’s pregnancy announcement was the biggest entertainment/gossip story in my lifetime, although Michael Jackson’s staggering fall from grace could tie with it.

Puh-leeze…they’ll drop Brit like a rock when Brad & Angie come back home. We’ll be back to all those stupid “they’re fighting constantly” and “Brad wants Angie to be stay at home mom” and “Jane Pitt Beg Brad To Go Back To Jennifer” stories.
tampopo is without a doubt one of my favourite movie, never mind food movies. I have a thing for food movies and i think i have seen them all. another food movie that i haven’t seen listed yet is “mostly martha”.

Peepin’ in before I hit the sack. As you all know Brad was nominated for a People’s Chioce Award. It always seemed to me like one of the chessier awards show. The winners know in advance but act all surprised in the audience. But we can vote.

BTW they are doing a little interview with Brad on Showbiz Tonight where he basically supports Madonna’s adoption.
Good night all.

By the way….you KNOW I predicted this MONTHS ago right? The People’s Choice thing. Hahahahaha!! Don’t think for one minute, Huvane wasn’t working overtime just to score this, the cheesiest of all cheesey cheese encrusted fake ass award shows for Maniston. This show is on par with the Teen Choice Awards (the same outfit runs it too) they notify winners in advance, all in a big effort to get them to hopefully show up. LOL I find it hilarious that they instinctively know how desperate Huvaniston is — so they are doing his bidding and calling the tv sit-com hack up to invite her to the only party she will get an invite to come awards season.
This is nothing new. Teen Choice, called her a movie actress when they nominated her for ‘Along Came Polly’ & ‘The Good Girl’ 4 years ago. That show, as well as the People’s Choice Awards are a joke. Angelina was nominated last year in 3 diff categories - leading lady, best couple, best actress/action - do you think there was a chance in hell of her showing up had she won?
Er, how do I put this….? Hell to the no!! LOLOL
The really serious actors almost never show up for the People’s Choice Awards — at best the broadcast may score videotaped remarks.
Ironically, if you want to see a true representation of how the ‘People’s Choice Awards,’ are viewed in the industry, rent the DVD set of ‘The Comeback,’ starring the most overlooked (and most talented) ex-castmate of ‘Friends’ Lisa Kudrow. She brilliantly starred as ‘Valerie Cherish,’ a 40-ish cheesy has-been of a TV star (think Suzanne Somers but waaaay cheesier…think Jennifer Aniston!) whose one moment in the sun was winning a ‘People’s Choice Award,’ (yes, that IS the joke, that she ‘won a People’s Choice Award’ LOL) the kicker is that she never lets people forget it, she manages to mention it in some form or fashion several years after the fact — Lisa gave a wonderful cringe-worthy cheesetastic performance.
Somewhere, Lisa Kudrow HAS to be laughing her ass off.
Irfan Khan praises Angelina in A Mighty Heart
NEW DELHI, NOVEMBER 8:Popular actor Irfan Khan is full of praise for Angelina Jolie, his co-star in the movie A Mighty Heart, currently being filmed in Gujarat, a news report said on Wednesday.
Describing Jolie and her husband Brad Pitt as very friendly, Khan said: “We did get along well from the start.”
“The rest you will know when you see the film,” a daily newspaper quoted Irfan Khan as saying.
Irfan Khan hit stardom with his superb performance two years ago in a Bollywood movie, Maqbool, inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
He has acted since then in several movies, including The Warrior, The Namesake and Partition.
A Mighty Heart is currently being shot in Pune. Jolie plays Mariane Pearl and Dan Futterman portrays Daniel Pearl.
The Wall Street Journal reporter was abducted and murdered in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on Islamic militancy.
“I have never marketed myself, except longing for good work,” the daily quoted Khan as saying.
Khan said he was in Hyderabad when he got a call for A Mighty Heart, asking for his photographs. “I had mailed them through my wife.”
The movie is based on an adaptation of Mariane Pearl’s book, A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl, and is co-produced by Plan B, a production company founded by Brad Pitt and his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Aniston.
I was reading the above article about the Indian actor in AMH, and I was fine with it until I came to the last line — “The movie is based on an adaptation of Mariane Pearl’s book, A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl, and is co-produced by Plan B, a production company founded by Brad Pitt and his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Aniston.” WTF? Is this going to be like a barnacle attached to the bottom of the Jolie-Pitt ship until the end of time?
Good morning BAMZSville villagers!!!
Oh shoot!! guli are you offering me a job?? The bouncer?? OMG! I’m moved! I’m speechless! :o Thank you! Thank you! But does this mean that I have to go to the gym?? Oh man I haven’t exercised since years (you know.. Greek food ;) ) But to be fair to all we need to nominate some more villagers and have an election for this specific job.. See how fair I am?? (Not like Vanity Fair at all).And if I don’t win I’ll humbly accept my failure but I’m still bringing the ouzos baby! LOL!

Ok WTF ?? First Angie is going in Delhi for her UN work and they are calling her Mrs Brad Pitt. Then Brad goes in the Babel premiere in L.A and they call Angie his wife. And know the Indian press is calling Brad her husband? All in the same week??? Again WTF??
Hello everyone,
Just to let you know that Jennifer Anniston has been nominated in the People Choice Awards as favourite movie actress. WE can ensure that this does not occur by placing our vote.
I do not have a problem with anniston, but I abhor the way we and the rest of the world have been manipulated by her antics, and secondly there are so many other deserving and talented actresses and movie stars in Hollywood, for her name to constantly be trumped up as if it is the best - is just a mockery to the standard and qaulity of american cinema.

Oh goodie we’re still on that topic from last night, we need you I second that motion!
Good Morning all,
Found this for all interested….Prop. 87 is a no go. I guess the oil companies got their way. What is astounding is the amount of money spent on both side….the oil companies almost twice as much as the supporters of Prop. 87.
“““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““
VIP endorsements fail to sell tax on California oil
Despite drawing endorsements from celebrities and a former president, the costliest ballot initiative campaign in California history ended Tuesday with the defeat of a measure that would have taxed state oil production to fund alternative energy research.
With more than half of precincts reporting, 55 percent of voters said no to Proposition 87 after a high-stakes race that pitted the specter of global warming against the threat of higher gas prices.
Oil companies led by Chevron Corp. and Aera Energy raised nearly $100 million in their effort to defeat the measure. Supporters spent more than $57 million, most of it contributed by Hollywood producer Stephen Bing.
“Proposition 87 was full of holes: higher fuel costs, more bureaucracy, cuts funding for firefighters — bad idea,” said Scott Macdonald, a spokesman for the No on 87 campaign.
The initiative would have taxed companies drilling for oil in California — the nation’s third-biggest oil producing state — until it generated $4 billion. The money would have gone toward creating incentives for researching alternative energy, alternative-fuel vehicles, energy-efficient technologies and education and training.
Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Julia Roberts and Geena Davis were among the A-list personalities who appealed to environmentally conscious Californians to pass Proposition 87. Their pitch: It would help wean the state off its reliance on foreign oil while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“We have the worst air in the country,” actor Warren Beatty said during a pro-Proposition 87 campaign party on Tuesday night.
The oil companies that led the opposition turned supporters’ arguments around, countering that the initiative would create more dependence on foreign oil by cutting the state’s oil production. To drive home the point, they ran commercials with firefighters warning that residents would have to pay more to fill their gas tanks.
Yusef Robb, a spokesman for the Yes on 87 campaign, said he believed voters delivered a pro-environment message even though the measure lost.
“The oil companies spent $100 million to kill Prop. 87 and they didn’t,” Robb said. “Millions of Californians voted to break our dependence on oil. ”
The campaign played on the blood-for-oil fears of violence in the Middle East and concerns over impending environmental doom. Proposition 87 dovetailed with the nation’s zeitgeist — coming along as awareness about global warming heightened and in the same year as Gore’s well-received documentary on the subject, “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Supporters argued that while oil companies pay a permitting fee to drill, they pay next to nothing to draw oil from California, unlike in Alaska and Texas. The proposal would tax oil producers between 1.5 percent and 6 percent depending on the per-barrel price of oil.
This was enough to persuade Philip Gustlin, 72, of Brentwood, to vote for the measure.
“I don’t feel sorry for the oil companies,” he said.
Oil companies countered that they already pay California’s high corporate income tax and other taxes. They also said the money generated by the new tax would be used to create a bureaucracy with no oversight.
“““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““`
Reading more about it, I can’t believe people bought the oil company’s campaign…..they didn’t even mention the #1 concern for most people, which was increase in gas prices…why? Well, maybe it’s because they know it would be illegal to increase gas price. What they do mention is that they already corporate income tax (ha!). If we needed evidence that Oil Companies only care about their own pockets….we need not look further.
Oh well….there’s always a next time. Have a lovely day guys and don’t let the vermins bite.

**********************************************
Um…gotta agree with you there. I see she and her puiblicity machine had to get her in on the charity action, too, what with Angie and her UN visits to remote areas. Suuuuuure, Jen wants to help ::rollseyes::, BUT, you know nothing where she has to, you know, actually *do* anything like spend even one night away from luxurious surroundings, or get her manicured hands dirty touching poopy little orphans or poor sick kids or anything like that. Let’s see her really go into St. Jude’s and do some work with children that are actually in need and spend time with them and look into their faces and get emotionally involved. That’s the only way she’d win any credbility with me. Anybody who looks halfway decent can model a damn T-shirt. Give me a really large break!
She’s such a copy cat and a poser. She needs to hang it up. She’ll never be able to rival Angie in this arena because it’s clear her heart isn’t really in it. If it was, she wouldn’t be afraid to break out of her comfort zone and do something really extraodinary instead of this same-old same-old approach that most celebs take. This is the very type of charity Brad and Angie are trying to avoid, because everyone has learned, celebs coming in and throwing money at the situation and leaving without any emotional investment doesn’t really help in the long run.
I’m back, drinking decaf and smoking a cigarette. You know what? That little beyoch has hit a new low, even for her. How pathetic is she that she’s resorting to letting her boobs get her attention. “Pay attention to me, love me, I have nice boobs!”
At this rate she will wnd up in some seedy t^tty bar giving lap dances for a dollar saying “I used to be Rachel, and Brad Pitt’s wife, can;t you at least breack me off $5 and a gram of coke?”
from my mouth to to your higher power’s ear.
c[mon our people are over at X’s thread posting giving her hits, let her 15 fans wear themselves out, we’re the ones that give her the most hits.
i refuse to comment on chin’s latest endeavor. the jokes just come too easy! i like a challenge!
any word on whether or not braddy’s back in pune? he should be back with his family by now…
