Brad Hides Behind a Hanky

Brad Hides Behind a Hanky

Brad Pitt put on his motorbike helmet (and photographer hat) and rode into town yesterday afternoon. He took in as much of Pune as possible, snapping pictures every chance he got with his trusty sidekick, the Leica R8 camera.

Brad’s handkerchief looks like it’s for protection against wind and pollution… unlike some other pop stars we know that hang babies off hotel balconies. Nice helmet though, eh? More pictures in the gallery!

Note to Brad: Please stop smoking!

Jared,

Then, the world almost came to the end, if all of them are sleeping! WOW!

By the way, I do enjoy your website dearly. This website becomes addictive. I have to go through most of your threads at least once on daily base. Thank you very much for all.

Oh, you’re very very welcome, Mediterranean. It’s my pleasure to serve you. (; Have a fantastic weekend!!

Even the haters are sleeping….. I always thought that they don’t eat, drink, sleep. They just keep on hating the Jolie-Pitts every second of their lives.

Mediterranean @ 11/11/2006 at 2:55 am

Have a great weekend to you too Jared!

Mediterranean @ 11/11/2006 at 2:57 am

But not ALL the BAMZS fans. I am here, do not forget me? :)

jeannified @ 11/11/2006 at 2:57 am

Hi Jared! Since everyone else is sleeping (I was up cleaning for my Mother-in-law, who comes here to San Diego tomorrow for her birthday.), I will take this time to say “Thanks so much” for the best BAMZS info ANYWHERE ON THE NET!!! I can ALWAYS count on YOUR site to lead the charge on Brangelina news…ALWAYS!!! Your site is the BEST!!!

Hey Jared and mediterranean, I’m awake but will be logging off soon!!

Jared and Audrey, thanks so much for keeping us up to date about the BAMZS.

Found this nice article in empire movies:

It cannot be easy being Brad Pitt. Laugh if you will, but I believe that to be true.

Sure, he is one half of, “the most beautiful couple in the world”, a new father, a noted philanthropist and a multi-millionaire, but for those things he has paid a significant price - his privacy. Everybody wants a piece of Brad Pitt.

I recently had an opportunity to catch a glimpse into the media spectacle surrounding Brad Pitt when I attended the North American premiere for his latest film, Babel, at the Toronto Film Festival. Afterward, I sat down with him while he talked about babies, Babel and being Brad Pitt.

The Toronto Film Festival has become two weeks in September when the entire city is abuzz with media outlets and celebrity watchers. This year, however, was different. There seemed to be a surreal glow as people watched, waited and hoped for a glimpse of the most famous face in the world.

Everywhere Brad Pitt went, a sea of people was sure to follow. People ambled through the lobby of the Park Hyatt hotel, where he was rumoured to be staying with Angela Jolie and their children. At his film’s premiere, hundreds of people stood on a narrow sidewalk hoping to catch a glimpse of him. The film - a subtitled “indie” film which would normally appeal only to film afficionados - showed to a full house.

It is difficult to describe the experience of meeting Brad Pitt. A man after my own heart, he arrived at our press interviews clearly demonstrating the signs of someone who is not a morning person. Unshaven, hair slightly disheveled, collar unbuttoned and tie loose around his neck, he was as gorgeous in person as he had been in any photograph that I had ever seen of him.

But the most memorable aspect of meeting Brad Pitt was not his looks. What I will never forget is the indescribable aura that surrounded him. Relaxed, affable and articulate, he was one of the most magnetic, charismatic people I have ever met. He was remarkably at ease and seemed almost amused at the sight of journalists and photographers pummeling one another to get to him.

As the sound of camera shutters reached a deafening pitch, and the photographers were admonished by press conference moderator Henri Behar, Pitt began to play for the cameras, making faces and waving his hands in the air.

“That’s the photo that is going to end up [in the press] when I have a breakdown”, he said, “They’re going to take that photo from this moment…when I get arrested for a DUI late at night and make racial slurs or something.”

When asked about his “icon” status, he seemed incredulous. “I don’t participate much in that, other thing”, he said, gesturing to the gathering crowd outside the press room.

A willing participant or not, Pitt cannot help but be affected by the, “other thing”. The remote location in Morocco where his scenes in Babel were filmed was a blessing, because it gave him a reprieve from the media that he would not be permitted in more accessible locations.

Director Alejandro Inarritu acknowledged the benefits of the remote location. “This town where we shot, it is a town that didn’t have electricity. It’s a town where Brad could walk easily without being recognized. Some people didn’t know who he was and that was great because we were really surrounded by that atmosphere of…people who were there for no reason other than helping the film.”

“I think that was a really kind of relaxing atmosphere. I felt that Brad was really completely submerged”, he added.

Pitt agreed with Inarritu’s assessment. “It was freeing in that sense where you could really just concentrate on the work.”

The result is a film that many say will garner Brad Pitt his second Oscar nomination. In speaking about the film, it is clear that he is proud of the final product.

“This one I’ll be proud for [my children] to see once they’re old enough to really understand it.”

As the press interviews ended and we prepared to leave, it occurred to me then that it cannot be easy to be Brad Pitt. I caught a glimpse of him as he was leaving the press room, accompanied by escorts who were taking him to his waiting vehicle outside. It was then that I saw it - a deep breath, a fleeting moment of panic as he readied himself to descend into the crowd outside.

Sure, it must be wonderful to have it all. But I wondered as I left whether there are days that he would not trade it all for a moment of peace and quiet.

Babel opened in limited release October 27th. The movie expands to 1,251 theaters this weekend.

Reading the article makes me feel a little guilty that I’m complicit to the demand for photos of Brad, Angelina, and the kids. it’s crazy and I’m part of the craze.

Sigh, the haters are probably just re-energizing for tomorrow!

Jared!!!

You really rock! I was at the old thread trying to catch up (I usually catch up when I’m at work, because at home my son hogs the computer) and wham! a new thread! THANKS!!!!

I really wish though that Brad would give up smoking, if only for his children’s sake. But I know how hard it is to give it up — my partner has been trying for years to wean himself from this without much success.

Thanks for the nice article about Brad, Lylian! I really really heart this man!

Mediterranean @ 11/11/2006 at 3:07 am

Hi Lylian, thanks for the article.

I pray that Brad will get the awards he deserves this time with this movie.

Whoa, thank you j@red for this new thread and pics!! i like his leica >_+ heheh.
regardless of all the hotness, i really wish he would quit smoking..take little gradual steps u know.

Hiya:

Thanks for the heads up from the other thread! Oh shoot, good morning every1 from CA.

jeannified @ 11/11/2006 at 3:16 am

Cool, Angelah!!! Nice to meet you! :-) Where do you live in San Diego? I live in South Bay. When I rented, I lived in Coronado and then Ocean Beach.

Mediterranean @ 11/11/2006 at 3:17 am

Have a very nice day to all!

I should go, my husband is coming to Istanbul tonight. I have to cook sucuklu kuru fasulye, pilav and zeytinyagli kereviz! And I hate cooking!!!!

You’re welcome, angelah. Congrats to Mediterranean for being 1st!Thanks for the article, lylian! Good night to supernature, jeannified, and briseis, too!

jeannified @ 11/11/2006 at 3:21 am

Yum, Mediterranean…sounds good, even though I have no idea what all of that is. I’m sure your hubby will appreciate it. I WOULD!!! ;-)

Good night guys! Time for me to catch some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ’s! I’ll check this thread in the morning, when I’m sure 500 more commenters will have added to the thread! ;-)

I will get some zzzzzz’s as well and I so agree with the #s, that’s just how magnetic BAMZS are jp.

HAPPY BABEL DAY everyone!! I’ll come back later today with my movie comments ;-p Adieu for now.

Hi friends and fellow BAMZS fans and supporters alike. I see angelah and briseis. Hey there! Special hellos go out to Malaya, Elena, African Girl, Estelle, Guli, AddictedtoBAMZS, Original Curious, Zaiyana, PT and Alexanderina (you’re always greeting me so I return the warmth!). And welcomes go out to all the new fans.

AG, our mutual friend asked for me to drop a note to assure I’m okay. I’m in good spirits, and I have even been a bad, bad girl in having a bit of wicked fun. Shhh! Of course, this week has been berry, berry (to steal a line from Garrett Morris’ character of old from SNL) good to me. The Democrats took over Congress. Hell YEAH! Now, some Democrats are more Republican than Republicans themselves (hello, Hillary and Lieberman), so it’s not perfect. And a few good Republicans such as Lincoln Chaffe were unfortunate losers, but I’ll take my chances with the Democrats (even though I doubt they will have an effective plan of action for Iraq). At least we won’t have redux Senate confirmations of Clarence Thomas (Scalia’s yes-man) and Sam Alito as Supreme Court Justices with the Democrats holding power. Anyway, I didn’t come to talk politics.

I am very sorry for the delay in my farewell. I have lost steam, but I still very much want to finish it for my friends. Please be patient and hang tight. I think a few of you will like what I plan to leave behind (NO, not gossip!) so that it won’t be the last you’ll see of me. (Well, here, yes, I am still intent on leaving.) I’m not going to promise anymore when it will be posted as I’m as accurate with that schedule as Aniston’s next film projection. (Did I mention I still find Aniston revolting?) But I’m hoping I won’t have to also wish you all a merry Christmas…or worst a new year!! Gosh, with the changes on this board though, I’m antsy about what will show up when it gets posted. Yeesh, a message full of asterisks…I don’t know about that. How is PT dealing with that?! Hamstrung with our “colorful” language, I’m getting nervous at the limitations and worst, if this board can handle the super length of the farewells. We’ll see.

In the meantime, I do think of you guys often and wish all of you well - even some of the hating nags.

Can’t say I like seeing Brad still smoking, but I hope he’s cut down a lot and hopefully be able to quit finally. Even if it takes 100 or more attempts, he needs to keep trying.

Keep the love alive.

P.S. Where are my manners? Hello Jared!

JARED YOU ARE THE BEST. I WAS SEMI-AWAKE WHEN I CHECKED THE SITE. BRAD PITT IS SO HOT IT IS CRAZY. HE WILL EVENTUALLY STOP SMOKING WHEN THE DEMANDS OF THE KIDS BECOME GREATER, I KNOW.

jeannified @ 11/11/2006 at 3:46 am

Hey Angelah…before I drop off of this thread for the night…I live East of the 805 off of Palm Avenue. (The second Palm Avenue, by he Border.) I am dying to see Babel, but my husband refuses to see it with me! :-( He says I’m “obsessed” with Brangelina! He just doesn’t UNDERSTAND! ;-) I’m definitely gonna check it out though…hopefully very soon!

Opps I was still at the other thread… geez I’m always late. good to hear from you Cindy. And I agree Brad needs to stop inhaling those cancer sticks. Those kids of his needs a father who’ll see them grow up and not from the vantage of the hospital bed.

HI Ate Char (MF),
I saw the video of ell you posted earlier and I thought they were referring to you as MF when I saw the comment section. I was wrong,,, it was..er… different sort of MF they were talking about lol. I’m just lurking for the moment since I’m still reading YG email halfway thru, 500+ emails to go whew! But I’m enjoying the comments here at JJ, I know its not “fuzz-free” as of this moment but most good things are not perfect, we need a little challenge now and again to spice things up. Adversity do bring out the best and the worst in us. It’s a test of your true character what you reveal in times of difficulty. “People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there’s a light from within”. This is why I have much more affinity towards Angelina, she has been through the “darkness” but she emerged from it a far better woman, a far better human being. What little reservation I have for Brad Pitt however has been put to rest with the way he continually proves to be much more of a “man” than I thought he is at first.

Angelah, I have been unable to reply back in the email I’m still neck high in the pile of unread emails. As I told Estelle earlier, at the rate I’m going Angelina could be pregnant and deliver us another jolie-pitt baby to feast our eyes on before I finished reading emails. I have a lot of things to catch up on obviously, missed the madonna, donald trump, oprah incident but it’s better late than pregnant lol. As I have forced leave coming up next week (yes it is forced as I have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the place i love best… the office. yeah, vacation is a depressing thought ugh) and I’ll be checking this site in between putting on suntan lotion, sipping buko(coconut) juice and basking on the sights of a tropical paradise. In the meantime, everyone please continue with your witty rejoinders. Love how you reduce the naysayers to a puddle of shame and incoherence )

Hi Cindy2.

You have been missed badly. I wish you didn’t have to say farewell, but your reasons are your own, and I can’t admit to knowing anything, but I wish you well in your future endeavors.

Pitt, Jolie donate toys at a Pune adoption centre
[ 11 Nov, 2006 0131hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]

RSS Feeds| SMS NEWS to 8888 for latest updates

PUNE: Around 65 children at Bharatiya Samaj Seva Kendra (BSSK) family and child welfare and adoption centre had glamorous visitors on Friday — Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The couple, proponents of adoption themselves, visited Koregaon Park centre, where they spent about an hour with the children and donated loads of toys to the excited kids.

The duo has been in the city for over a month now, shooting for A Mighty Heart, a film based on slain American journalist Daniel Pearl. They have three children — Maddox and Zahara, who are adopted, and a biological child Shiloh Nouvel.

Roxana Kalyanvala, executive director at BSSK, said: “The couple were lovely and genuinely adore kids. They spent over an hour playing with our children and donated lots of toys. They didn’t show any inclination towards wanting to adopt, but they did have a great time. Both have a love for children and they spoke to us for quite a while about various issues in the world. They would have loved to stay on longer but had other commitments.”

BSSK cares for around 65 children from new-borns up to six years of age. They undertake over 80% domestic adoption and have found homes for close to 2,800 children. The centre has Children’s day celebration, a ‘Masti Mela’ which is open to the public from 4 to 7 pm on November 14 and 15.

Pitt and Jolie are expected to leave for Mumbai over the weekend, where they will complete the last leg of shooting for the film which stars Jolie as Marianne, the wife of Daniel Pearl.

*************************
just a fyi for those interested…good night. Thanks JJ for the pics

To Jared & Audrey–

Glad you’re up and running, or I’d be in serious withdrawl now! LOL

I have 2 questions I hope you can take time to answer. It may seem silly, but I find myself somewhat confused… Before now pics posted by you were free of watermarks [I think that's what they're called--in this case, the double yellow block-formed "J's" near Brad's face] unless they came from other sites, like “x17″, for example.

1) Why start doing it now and all along?
2) Why so near Brad’s face and not somewhere else [upper left corner or bottom middle] in the pics?

Other than wondering about this… YOUR SITE ROCKS!!!!

if he had the courage to go to pune from the beginig why would he be scared from pollution

27sas gded b2lbak bezed…

Hi Jared, thanks for the new pics!

Gismo, you are the new definition of idiotism or you must be simply joking. Don’t worry the doctors are coming for you.

Ok, I don’t know whether anyone has posted this US Weekly comment at the other thread, but this is so hilarious, I can’t resist posting it. Anistonfans, be prepared to go to the ocean screaming:

“US Weekly got the real goods on Jen and the LAX Controversy

According to the them, An LAX rep said they don’t escort a celebrity just because they are a celebrity. The extra police was dispatched for crowd control after cops noticed about 30 photographers inside. In fact, the swarm of snappers had another target in mind: International A Lister, Victoria Beckham. James Ayolott of photo Agency said “Outside the U.S. People think of Jennifer Aniston as a has-been TV actress.”
Aniston opted for commercial flight over a costly jet “because Jen likes to save money when she can” a source tells US.”

So the truth about Aniston’s LAX arrival is out, the paps were waiting for Posh Spice, not her! I’m dying with laughter now, see you later Bamzsters…

Good Morning to all JJ Bamzs fans and to JJ. JJ thanks for the pics.
and thanks to all for nice comments for my vid!!!!

Great pics - thanks Jared!

I think Brad is wearing the scarf not to protect him from the fumes and smog, but probably the stench in the air (don’t mean to be rude), but check out picture 14! The amount of poo poo on the ground in such a small area! :lol: Still Pune looks like a fascinating place and Brad is capturing some memories for the family.

mezgelina @ 11/11/2006 at 7:23 am

i’m so proud of brad for actually experiencing india as much as he can!! lol welcome to the real world.. People actually live like this and no america isn’t the centre of the universe!!! good on brad angie and kids!!!!

I would love to know if there is video to this. He looks like a total bad a**, struting around with his camera.

Good moring everyone! uhmmmmm uhmmm UHMMMM!
Bad Bad Daddy Bradley. Man I love me some Biker Brad in the morning
(or anytime for that matter) but for breakfast? Too too kiind jj&A

kiki, i heard that Posh wasn’t set to come at all. Somebody tipped the press that, but it wasnt true, and that maybe Jennife is innocent, but her PR aint. I heard the timineg was a little to coinsodental that the paps get a call to LAX just when JA shows up, but no Posh to be found.

Buwahaha *coffee through nose* LMAO

Now it all makes sense , the inappropriatly young british style hat? This morning just keeps getting better!

ignore Gismo and enjoy Brad! it’s to damn early for such nuttiness, but not to early for such fineness. It is this easy.

Asian bee @ 11/11/2006 at 7:55 am

Many motorcyclist in Asia wear scarves (like masks) to protect themselves from pollution. This is an ordianry everyday thing, so please do not blow it up, okay?

sany, he has quite before, and i’m sure he will once more. I smoked and don’t no more, and I smoked alot and for a long period. I feel better and he will too. Angei smoked an quit and I bet she dont let him do that nasti habit around the babys. he wont be lookin cool in a coffen dead frm lung cancer or emphesema.

My, he’s such a fine looking man. Be still my heart!

I’ve often wondered how many of the haters keep saying that he’s no longer hot, that he’s got guilty feelings about his “affair”, that he wants to go back to the X — what pictures are they looking at? And hasn’t his actions re flying to LA for the premiere and voting, and then flying right back to India (a very considerable distance, of course, even if he flew first class or private jet) convinced them yet that Brad and Angie are truly together for good?

think positive! @ 11/11/2006 at 8:06 am

I think I told you guys somebody needs to stop this man. How the hell I will manage to take such amounts of hotness everyday??? It’s just too much! ;)

Brad just LOVES photography! And if they are leaving this upcoming weekend I bet he want to snap as many shots as he can. I remember being on simplybrad.com some time ago and they had a thread with Brad’s pictures while he was taking photographs in the past years! You can’t imagine how many they are!! I didn’t know that it was one of his hobbies. I was shocked! (But the world wasn’t) LOL! He is obsessed with photography as he is with motorcycles. Let’s say “he just has a problem” :)

As for the smocking part. Well it seems that he is making great efforts to quit or at least increase it. From the beginning of this year we have seen him smoking only three or four times. And that’s good. He is a long time smoker and it’s so hard to quit. My father wants to quit it badly but he hasn’t achieved anything. At least we haven’t seen him smoking around the kids. Only when he is alone. And I think Angie is be fine with it as long as it’s not around them. Anyway…

Good morning everyone!

think positive! @ 11/11/2006 at 8:12 am

Correction :I meant to say decrease not increase.Sorry guys! I haven’t drink my coffe yet.LOL!

aycaramba @ 11/11/2006 at 8:29 am

Brad still smoke but that’s mmk, that’s the 1st time i saw him smoke since i last saw the pic from O13, but i think he don’t smoke as much as b4 though hope am ryt hehe, but then again Brad is still a cutie 2me, luvs yah Brad mwahhhh….

ATTENTION BAMZS fans, dont forget to go and support Brad Pitt this weeekend by seeing BABEL. His soon to be OSCAR nominated role.

aycaramba @ 11/11/2006 at 8:34 am

Brad is practicing 2b 1 of the paparats himself hehe “if u can’t beat them Brad join them” go Brad go hehe

Good Morning Everyone!

Jared you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Renee — sorry I logged off and did not see your response…I think I am going to take your advice and take my mother…my husband had to go out of town so that will work perfect…no promises to make…lol…

PT — it’s cool…my saying that you are passionate is a compliment…passion is not something that is controlled or masked…it is an honest and pure window into the soul and it is very beautiful…I’m under the impression that you took it another way…I could be wrong but the length of your reply is what I am going by…let me clear something up…I did not say that you were attacking “everyone” here…I said that I observed SOME attacks when others THOUGHT that they may be dealing with a “troll” on the strength of having a different opinion…my previous post were not directed at you…You know what? Scratch that because at this juncture we will continually be going back and forth and it is really not worth it…I just rather say…

OH MY GOD BRAD IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would so try to get in his pants. It’s not his face, it’s not his bod (which are both FINE). It’s that aura of confidence combined with alpha male sex appeal that he has been exhibiting lately. Before he was just a pretty boy but suddenly, he’s ths interesting MAN and that is EXTREMELY appealing.

I sure hope we get to see them all together soon **dreaming** (without hats, sunglasses, scarves, blankets, etc., etc.)

Whoa let me stop with the dreaming…Brad is now down to just is soaking wet boxers!!!!!!!!!!! We’ve tossed the socks!

Wait a minute there’s a pause in my dream…it’s Ange giving me the LOOK…you know the one with one eyebrow kinda up like the “people’s eyebrow”…okay, okay bad dream I am not going there….

Thanks JJ, U are the Best…. check out B’s b*tt in # 19… WOW..
This man is really HOT!!!!

Hello norway!

I thought Billy-Bob Thornton was Maggots father..??
He and Angie were married when they adopted.

Good Morning norway…(hope this helps…I got it from Wikipedia)
“On March 10, 2002, Jolie adopted her first child, Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt (originally Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie[12]). He was born on August 5, 2001 as Rath Vibol in Cambodia and he initially lived in a local orphanage in Battambang.[56] Jolie decided to apply for adoption after she had visited Cambodia twice, while filming Tomb Raider and on a UNHCR field trip in 2001. After her divorce from her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie received sole custody of Maddox. “

Good Morning QQQQ!

ITA…I should be finishing up some reports but I can’t stop looking!!!!!!!!!!!

I need a support group…addicted is what I am….yep…next I’ll be ripping off little kids podcast so that I can get my Brad fix!!!!!!!!

BP looks great. So fine. He could be smoking one of those herbal cigs. He is a long time smoker, so it will take time. I am glad to see him out and about in India. So many celebrities live behind a glass wall, but BP is not afraid to mingle and interact with the People wherever he travels. AJ and BP are really down to earth people who care about children and respect other people’s culture. This is very important in the world we live in today. Best wishes to BAMZS and safe travel. I am on the Babel trail today.

I miss seeing him and Angie out playing with the kids. Pap are getting too aggressive? If you have take get a picture, take a picture and leave it at that. My favorite thing to do with my kids is playing with them outside. I feel bad that celebrities can’t really do that without a lot of people crowding around them. Family time is so important. :/

WELCOME to BAMZS fans world @ JUST JARED!!!

haha! No one is HOT in that battered helmet than Brad Pitt. Also he is the cute in the way only Man can be. yum-yum!

Thanks JJ

kiki, ROFLMAO. Sorry but seriously, 30 paps came to photograph Posh???????? US Weakly obviously has a sense of humour. Of all the celebrities US Weakly could have picked, they picked Victoria beckham, a lady who is unlikely to attract much more then 1 or 2 paps in California coz, brand Beckham never made much headway in USA. Sorry, but I think the story is rather US Weakly (no pun intended).

I’m not a conspiracy theorists myself but this time, I’m pretty sure JA’s publicists arranged the paps to be present in LAX.

Hello MF ! isn’t it a glorious day to be a BAMZS fan?

I got lost when I refreshed earlier and got the error 404, but now I’m found, praise Bradley.

The thought has crossed my mind, dangerous territory, but how long do you think this X bashing can go on before it does a 180 and turns into another pity party?
I would hate for us to put it over the edge, but for now I’M LOVING IT

Hi there nice lady !
I got that error 404 when I’m trying to go back to the last thread.
I think this X bashing will be forever. It may stop only if she find another Brad who will continue her name popularity. I’ts very tiring to see her name/news . I wish she get pregnant and just be content with Vince V.

I have no say with Brad smoking. Somebody said he does not do it inside the house or around the kids, in time he will quit in his own, nagging will not do any good.

Brangelina vs tomkat @ 11/11/2006 at 9:58 am

Which Pregnant Couple Is Most Interesting:

Today USA Today published the results of a poll the daily conducted about which expecting couple is generating more buzz. Brad and Angelina or Tom and Katie…

The paper contacted some of the most influential gossip slingers around and overall they thought the public was more interested in Brad and Ange, but not by much. Seven panelist, Dan Wakeford, Debra Birnbaum, Harvey Levin, Bonnie Fuller, Ted Casablanca, Trent Vanega, and Access Hollywood’s Ryan Patterson, ranked nine different categories on a scale of 1-10 and the Pitt-Jolie’s scored a 9.7 while the Cruise-Holmes’s scored a 9.1.
The first topic the panel tackled was the “Love Factor” between the couples. This might have been where Tom and Katie lost some points because as Birnbaum points out, “There’s been so much speculation about what’s really going on with their relationship,” plus nobody even knows how these two actually met. But as far as Brad and Angelina the editor in chief of Life & Style says, “Their intriguing love story is straight out of a movie, played out across three continents at last count.”
Next Levin and Casablanca discussed the perceived reality about the two relationships. This topic gives Tom and Katie the more fascinating edge. Levin feels that Brad and Angelina are “more sweet and real” where as Tom and Katie’s “off-camera life is more like a movie than Brad and Angelina,” Casablanca, E! columnist and correspondent says, they are “like a science-fiction Spielberg film. It’s better box office.” But with regard to martial status, executive editor at In Touch, Dan Wakeford thought about Brad and Ange is “the only (celebrity event) that could rival the excitement surrounding the baby and its birth is Angelina and Brad’s wedding.” But this might be an evening topic because Wakeford feels that “that people are intrigued” with Tom and Katie’s possible summer wedding because “it’s been such a whirlwind romance, punctuated with Tom’s unusual behavior.”

Now the topic discussed was what the babies will be named and places they will be born. According to reports it’s pretty much been settled that Brad and Angelina are going to give birth in Namibia while Tom and Katie are doing at their quiet Beverly Hills home. The Pitt-Jolie’s definitely win that round. To make things even more exotic it’s been rumored that Maddox and Zahara’s brother or sister will receive a Namibian name. Conversely Tom disclosed to Diane Sawyer the other night that the couple knows the sex of their child and has a name already picked out, yet they aren’t saying what either is.
The next topic is “Media Stakeout” and how both couple are dealing with the press. The Namibian government has already stated that they will kick out any foreign photographers that are at Brad and Angelina’s location without the proper documentation. Levin believes that because the couple has stayed out of the limelight they’ve created more of a buzz than Tom and Katie. Katie has politely been allowing herself to be photographed shopping all around Los Angeles. Trent of Pink is the New Blog says, believes that TomKat created a bigger buzz in this category. He believes they’ve made a “powerful combination” first with the “complete media circus” that surrounds their relationship in conjunction with “the daily Katie bump-watch (and murmurs of ‘is she?’ or ‘isn’t she?’).”

And finally when will we be able to see what we’ve been dying to see for the past nine months. When and in what manner the first baby pics will surface for both couples is quite speculative. Star magazine’s Bonnie Fuller, editorial director of American Media, believes “Everyone expects it [Brad and Angelina’s] to be the most gorgeous baby ever.” Also she thinks the couple “will sell the rights to their baby’s photo, giving the proceeds to one of their favorite charities.” While she predicts Tomkitten’s photos will be everywhere because Tom “hasn’t hidden his relationship with Katie in any way, from the moment it began. It will be an equal opportunity viewing.”

Brangelina vs tomkat Says: - whats the point, Shiloh & Suri were born months ago….

Alexanderina @ 11/11/2006 at 10:17 am

I adore Evangeline Lilly from “Lost” and it seems that she is a fan of Angie as well

President Jolie
11th November 2006 13:20:15

Evangeline Lilly wants Angelina Jolie to be the first female American president.

The actress - who is reportedly engaged to her ‘Lost’ co-star Dominic Monaghan - believes Angelina would be perfect in the White House because of her social conscience.

Evangeline said: “Angelina is incredible. I can’t emulate her. My prediction is that she’ll be the first female president of the United States, with Brad as her first man.”

It seems Evangeline’s celebrity presidential pick has some competition - from Scarlett Johansson.

The ‘Lost in Translation’ actress, who campaigned to get young people to vote in the country’s last presidential election, is a keen Democrat and admits she would love to end up in the White House - one day.

Scarlett, 21, said: “Whose life would I like to step into for the day? The president’s. I could probably get some things done in the Oval Office.”

Missouri Fan,

How did Babel do in Missouri theaters?

Good BAMZS Day to you all! And Happy Babel Celebration Day too!!

Thanks Jared and Audrey for the new pictures.

OK - I am seriously contemplating seeing Babel again. I KNOW. Seriously, I really liked this movie. I have a few questions and there a few scenes that I didn’t get or arent complete in my mind. Don’t know if I will get the answers but heck, I am as free as the breeze today with nothing on the agenda. When are we going to talk about it!!! When are we going to talk about it!! I actually woke up with questions on my mind. I am going to check Amazon and see if there is a book

I would put it past 30 papz taking pictures of Posh? They are paid by the pictures, so it could be worth a thousand or two – which isn’t bad for a days work – and I doubt that those guys have a life.

BRB

Alexanderina, wouldn’t Brad be Angie’s “First Gentleman” if she became president? lol

Guli, thanks for kind words in the last thread, I’m doing pretty well. But I don’t when I’ll make my next video and I feel bad for not having enough time to work on my Jon and Angie fic…BTW, can Jon and Stephen be a part of BAMZSVILLE too? They’re handsome and they’re funny, they should be able to find a role here! Here’s video of Stephen talking about celebrity couples including our beloved Brad and Angie.

Hi TskTsk! well, I went to early shows Friday..mostly young & old couples.. maybe
it get better on the late shows and hopefully today & Sunday. I can’t tell if it will be appealing to teenagers. The DEPARTED still showing, my son , one of the manager there in the 20 cinema theater said it will be there for a while, teenagers love it. RWS may end this week- there are only 3 showing time in one cinema.

Hello BAMZS Fans, I saw Babel last night in Houston. It’s showing at about 4 theaters which is not that wide of a release but at least it’s at the main theaters. Also, where I went it was on 2 screens. I invited a bunch of friends and 4 of us made it to the 7:20 show. The theater was probably about almost half full.

I loved the movie!! My friends had different reactions but all liked it. Reactions varied from “it was a very intense movie” to “I liked it.” Nobody liked it as much as I did. I thought my Hotness Man was so incredibly gorgeous, sexy, and his acting was superb — just didn’t have enough of him in the movie for my tastes but still worthy of an Oscar Nomination.

The lady that plays his maid, Amelia, was superb as well. Great story. I will see it again.

Thanks JJ I love your site and check it several times a day. It’s my fav web site. Love all the threads and try to read through them when I have the time. It’s a great place to get “grounded” relative to all the junk out there about BAMZS.

What do you guys think about the rumor about Angie being preggers again? With the fainting spells and stuff?? Think it’s all bogus??

JJ — you make a huge difference on the planet. Love you lots and what you do for BAMZS. Your site helps to expand on what they do for the world. I love Angelina Jolie and Brad and it blew me away when they got together and what they are all about. They make my heart sing.

Man, I can’t get over how fine BP is . He has gone from Malibu Ken with fake Barbie to this rugged, sexy beast. That rear shot is the “money” shot. Okay, I will stop drooling. Thanks for all the input on Babel. I am going to check it out, if I can stop lusting at these pictures of BP.

PamgelaTexas Says: -November 11th, 2006 at 10:54 am

The scene with Amelia was amazing. I am here in South Florida so I am somewhat sensitive to the plight of those who come here illegally. I can’t imagine going across the border and not being able to come back. And she did raise those kids. She just wanted to see her son get married. Who knows how long it has been since she has seen her family? Her stockings had runs and holes, red dress was ripped in places, make up smeared…. (shakes my head)

Hey Braddy even if you hide we can still see your hot body!!!

BOX OFFICE HISTORY
Week Rank Wkd. Gross Theaters Per Theater Cumulative
Week #1 23 $389,351 7 $55,622 $389,351
Week #2 20 $919,235 35 $26,264 $1,470,614

Brad is so sexy. at 42 maintaining this kind of body was really hard, look at Tom Cruise a year older than Brad. but already showing those fat belly and butt. Brad inherited good gene.

i’ll skip the ‘ritas and spike my coffee instead!

let’s see…where do i begin about babel? let’s start with the trailers. they did a whole first look thing on the Good Shepherd. so the first thing i see when i walk into the theater with my artery-clogging popcorn and icee is angie on the screen talking about TGS. now, i’m not saying this just because i’m a BAMZS fan, but that movie looks hella-good. the “secret war” of WWII is one of my favorite history subjects. in fact, the best high school research paper i ever wrote was on this topic. anyway, it looks like we have another fabulous film to look forward to.

now babel. i’m kinda speechless right now. there was so much going on and every bit of it broke my heart. EVERYBODY acted their asses off. there’s not one person i can say stood out over everyone else. but the scene that really sticks in my memory is the “i peed” scene. that got me. that’s when the tears started.

just saying... @ 11/11/2006 at 11:15 am

Mediterranean—- I know it is 7 pm in Istanbul, but if you logon please respond. I just saw the pictures you sent from your Istanbul house , just LOVE them.. Hey can I share them with the ladies on Yahoo Group, Tijen, Jared and Audrey. Now that I have your email. I’ll send you pics of my house in Bodrum… Enjoy your stay there, I am still jealous.

Cindy2 it was great hearing from you, I’ll respond as soon as I catch up with both threads.

Is it too early for drinks yet??? :lol: BRB

BAMZS fans, Pittwatch is having a contest to support Babel. I thought some of you might be interested….Scroll down to Big Babel Giveaway…

http://www.pittwatch.com/

Renee - thats the scene that made me CRY….. as i can see this happing over and over again in real life… Everyone in this movie did a fantistic job…. i have to give mad props to Morrocans, since none of them were actors, but if i hadn’t known this i would not have been able to tell… They were great…. even the old lady who was in the house where they took Cate…..

Excellent Movie

At least he never smokes around the kids.

gitane Says: - the peeing scene was really touching…. u can really see that they loved each other, but because of tradegy had drifted apart….

The scene where the Morrocan guy ask Richard if he had any kids and he said yes, i saw Brad and not Richard showing off pic of Madd, Zee and Shi to every one… and when he said u should have more, its like Brad was kinda dying in that scene, because here’s a man who wanted a whole brunch of kids and up that point in his life, no woman had given him this gift….

Brad is so adventurous and curious. that’s what the director of MMSmith descibe Brad and Angie, both are curious and adventurous. He must be really bored during his marriage with X. we rarely seen them outside LA aside form his shooting location.and some exotic carribean vacation. Angie really broaden Brad horizon and spectrum.

did anybody else want to kick gael/santiago’s ass? really! i don’t think i’ve ever been that angry with a movie character before. i wanted to jump through the screen and beat him for abandoning them in the dessert–no papers, no identification, no money, no food, no water. that was a $hitty thing to do.

Hello to all Bamzs around the world! Thank you Jared and Audrey for new pictures. Came across this article and thought I will post. Not too sure if it has already been posted before.

http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_27269757.shtml

WARNING!

HEY! some have not seen it yet like me, so please PLEASE don’t give up so much of the plot. Don’t spoil it ok?

Thanks!

I cant wait to see Babel in theater, its not out here in my place yet but definitely will watch the film. If Brad and Angie got a million of dollors again in this movie (babel and good sheperd) they will help again as many as they can. Im sure about that. :) Oh well they dont stop helping people God bless them.

By the way thanks for the new pic Jared! :)

gitane Says: - yea, i was calling him a piece of **** the whole time… that was really cold blooded…

The amazing part about the movie for me was how the Japaneese story was the glue to the whole movie, but while u are watching u keeping thinking what the hell does this have to do with the rest of the movie…. Alejandro is an amazing story teller!!!!

saj

National Lier is just that. Please dont give any importance to that dung swill.

I have to leave this board until I see the movie becuase to much information is being discused and I dont want my experence spoild.

piper, with a low @ 11/11/2006 at 11:33 am

Brad with a cig?! I could just spank him… but not for that.

Seriously, I hope he quits soon; but then again, he probably has reduced the amount he smoked markedly. He may be done to 1-3 cigs a day, which would be pretty good for him. He should stop, but I’ve heard quitting is a real *****!

At least he doesn’t have orange fingers like a certain person who sported a spotty sweater a few weeks ago. I still love that certain person, but he really needs to ease up on the cigs and the sauce.

QQQQ

“The scene where the Morrocan guy ask Richard if he had any kids and he said yes, i saw Brad and not Richard showing off pic of Madd, Zee and Shi to every one…”

you know, this is the first film that braddy’s done where he’s playing a father and he is a father. does that make sense? when he made that phone call, i could imagine him imagining maddox on the other line.

I agree with you. It’s the Aniston PR machine working overdrive. They alerted the paps. She could have declined. There are private exits. If Brad can slip in and out of the US, why cant she? No matter how she spins it, no one will believe her.

Oh my God! After looking at this yummy pictures, who cares about breakfast.
GOOD MORNING FELLOW BAMZ FANS!
Its 8:33 am and a beautiful day in San Diego, anyway me and my hubby will watch Babel later. I’m telling you guys in my book this Bradley can do no wrong. He can wear anything even a sack and still manage to look good. Although I prefer him with nothing on.
Oh! I’d better take a shower fast, its so early to have this wicked thoughts!

Original curious @ 11/11/2006 at 11:42 am

THANK YOU JJ and Audrey!

Wonder where he got the bike and helmet from!

CINDY2! Thanks for “checking in” miss you like crazy. Glad you still dislike the X, I’d have to send the medics (memo- do we have them in Bamzsville?) to you! I’ve been partying pretty hard since the Democrat win myself. I also mourn the loss of Chaffe and heard yesterday he was thinking of leaving the Republican party - which is only fair, since they left him long ago.

Michelle - I SO agree! I wish he’d sit down and really TALK to someone about the changes he’s gone through and the new man he is today. He is so ALPHA lately, that I can’t think of a singel male star in his right mind who would want to seriously challenge him.

HOT - Yep I noticed that too - number 19. Just about fell out of my chair I did!

Seneca and all other non smokers. Unless you are a smoker and have tried to quit, try not to be so hard on Brad. I’m a smoker, and quitting is hell. It takes some people many tries. I think he’s cut way down, and don’t think he smokes in front of the kids. It’s harder for some than others. My sister just up and quit one day. I’ve tried numerous times. One day it’ll take, but it takes time.

QQQQ – yes the old lady. Oh, the English language is limited where this movie is concerned. I am going to have to get my thesaurus and find some other adjectives. What was the deal with the smoking – to try and calm her down? FANTASTIC!!

QQQQ and gitane – what was he going to do? I guess in the end he saved only himself. We don’t know what happened to him as her son picked her up at the border. I thought he was a jerk to kill the chicken in that manner but, that is how its done sometimes. BTW: he sure is mighty fine….

You guys are going to fast….I can’t respond fast enough…….

Thanks Maniston. My word is not taken like yours and so maybe others will lisen to you and respect those not yet fortunate to see this movie just yet. I don’t wont to stay away til I do. Can at least a warning that spoiler migt be comeing start a post ok?

I have to leave this board until I see the movie becuase to much information is being discused and I dont want my experence spoild.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Although I’m on my way to the 12:30 showing, I agree with you. Guys, I know you were touched by the movie, but please don’t ruin it for the rest of us. Revealing spoilers is one of my pet peeves and is primarily the reason why I still have a grudge against Rosie O’Donnell. Back in the day, when Fight Club came out, she revealed the ending to her audience because she didn’t want them to see the movie; she deemed it as too violent. The moment when I turned off her show was when Michael Jordan appeared on it; he said he wanted to see it and she encouraged him not to. She was out of line and completely malicious. And I know some of you aren’t coming from that place, but the effect is still the same.

Oh well i guess we dont matter.

ATTENTION BAMZS FANS!

Please don’t spoil the movie for others. I have already seen Babel and I’d be pissed to read some of what you guys are talking about. Allow the other BAMZS Fans to enjoy Babel just as much as we have.

Now I’m getting off my soapbox because its safer to drink on the ground. Someone please pass the ganja.

Stop giving so much away. I learnt the movie is not opening in Britain until Jan. Let’s have the teasers.

Maniston, Sure Baileys sound wonderful, but I am going for something stronger since I need to prepare for the OSU game at 3:30…. I have vodka, so with your Baileys I can make some White Russians. Shoot, we better not be out of milk :lol:

Jolie, Pitt leave Pune after film shoot

Hollywood actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who were here since October 5 for the shooting of a part of the film A Mighty Heart, on Saturday checked out of the five-star hotel where they were putting up since their arrival.

Jolie, Pitt and their three children checked out from Le Meridien Hotel on Saturday morning after completion of the shooting in Pune, sources said.

However, the city police, airport authorities and the hotel management had no idea about where the star couple and their children had gone.

“We have no idea where they have gone after their check out,” a senior staff of Le Meridien said.

According to sources, after the shoot here, Jolie and Pitt were to leave for Mumbai to resume shooting there.

“They were to go to Mumbai. In fact, we have had a flight plan ready for them for today as a stand by. More than this, we have no idea,” a senior airport official said.

The visit by the Hollywood couple to the city created lot of media hype and also led to skirmishes between the photographers and the couple’s private security personnel.

A Mighty Heart is based on a book of the same name by Marianne, wife of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl.

Pearl was abducted and later killed by militants in Pakistan in 2002. The film is largely based on the life of the murdered journalist and is being co-produced by Pitt’s company.

Jolie plays the role of a pregnant Marianne in the film while Dan Futterman is doing the role of Pearl in the movie directed by Michael Winterbottom.

Parts of the film were shot in Pune due to their similarity with parts of Karachi, the city from where Pearl was abducted.

Due to the controversial subject of the film, the Pakistani Government had refused permission for shooting in that country.

Subsequently, the film unit hired a couple of bungalows in ‘Sindh Colony’ and the shooting begun on October 9.

During their stay, the couple visited an adoption centre and did some shopping in the city, besides touring Goa and Rajasthan.

Hey Gitane, I felt the same way as well when I saw that scene about the asking of the kids, my mind when straight to Madd, Z and Shi

where’s the hookah? i’m going to join braddy in a smoke!

Sorry guys. I am bursting at the seams and when you see the movie you will too. My apologies, so when can we discuss. We are all in different time zones and some - won’t see until the 15th?? Shall we congregate over at yg?
******
Never been a smoker so I can’t relate. However, I do have friends who do and they have all said its very difficult to stop. One friend has stated that when she is stressed out, she reaches for a smoke. Perhaps he is stress with that papz around and needed a quickie. I would like to believe that they are herbal cigs and quitting will occur soon.
*********

I have a premonition that Shiloh’s first word will be Z…..how sweet is that! Its very easy to say like dada….

Maniston, I didn’t realize you are from Boston. Man I love Boston, first hubby was Boston his parents lived in Bedford, so every holiday were there…. I loved going to Harvard square. Later on I only came for tech conference and your endless construction drove me nuts. Is that project almost over, shoot it has been going on for eons :lol:

First thing is first. Brad looks hot in this picture and Mad is forever a cutie. I love seeing father -son pictures between these two.

Another important point to mention, people keep mentioning how much Brad has changed……………….uh actually he hasn’t changed; his environment, his life, the people in his life have changed.

Brad has always been a stand up guy who has never shied away from responsiblity and has always been a down to earth guy who wanted to be a dad more than anything else. He’s always been smart with his movie choices. He never fell for the pretty boy hype around him and always choose distinct movie roles that showed his talent. He’s always been smart with his career and has never been a fickle guy when it comes to relationships.

I understand why people say that he’s changed and how they thought he was all about looks. I think what has changed is that he finally found a person who shares the same goals and priorities as he does, so to many, Brad’s personality is more visible to those who thought he was just a pretty boy. Don’t get fooled by the hype. Brad never thought of himself as the big movie star and the pretty boy. He’s always been determined to go against the grain and show his mettle.

When I found out Brad was with Angelina, it made perfect sense to me even though I never imagined that these two would be together. Not for one minute did I think Brad would leave Maddox after entering his life as a father figure and then eventually as a father. He’s not one of those fickle guys with relationships that go on and off again. What I have observed is that he gives a relationship his full attention but once it’s done, IT IS DONE. There is no turning back for this guy. That’s his pattern. He doesn’t live in the past and doesn’t hold grudges forever.

Thanks Jared for the pictures.

He look handsome all the time… But why is he smoking… I was thinking that he was done with that horrible and dangerous adiction. Nicotine is horrible for him. :(

Hello everyone, and a special hi to Cindy2; we miss you.

It has been a very busy fall and I’m so out of keeping in touch, just dropping by to see all is well with BAMZS except that Brad’s smoking. But as in France, I am sure in India it’s very hard NOT to smoke if you are a smoker, as everyone probably smokes… Why dont’ they move to NYC? :) It’s smoke free in many places LOL Actually last year there was a picture of Angie and Mad taken just a few blocks away from where I live on upper westside! Why wasn’t I there LOL

Babel made $1,725,000 on Friday. You guys should go out and support the movie. It did well because it’s playing in select cities.

fan, we was posting at the same moment!

Brad’s smoking I think he’s cut down and he probably doesn’t do it in front of the kids and Angie. It’s hard to quit, granted I was never smoker, I’ve never even tried it but my father was for over 20 years. Although he did quit when my oldest sister (I’m the youngest out of three) was born. Anyway, at least Brad didn’t smoke directly in front of Angie while pregnant unlike Ben Affleck.

I remember for at least 6 months VV was smoke free……he talked about it while doing promotion for Wedding Crashers and I never saw any photos of him lighting up during that time…..but I have to wonder what made him fall off the wagon since he did it cold turkey. I always wondered if JA had any part since quite frankly it must be hard to quit if your boyfriend or girlfriend is a smoker. I felt the same way about when Brad quit for Troy but then went back to it when he came back home to the states. I’m not accusing I’m wondering and honestly, I’ll never know.

Alexanderina @ 11/11/2006 at 12:39 pm

I don’t want to spoil Babel for the people that haven’t seen it yet, but I am going to say that it is the best movie I have seen in a long time and that it is the best I have seen Brad in a any movie. He was fantastic, he played the role of Richard to perfection in my opinion; Cate was great, the whole cast of Babel was great, they did an amazing job, I love all the different stories, but if I had to pick one that really stand out to me was the Mexican story, and the scenes between Brad and Cate was so touching, like I said everyone in Babel did a great job, Alejandro did an incredible job of directing this movie. I cried throughout the whole movie. Babel is touching, emotional, sad, and at time funny, Babel changes the way you look at the world, it teaches you how important communication really is, it touches something deep in your soul.

Brad’s performance in Babel was fantastic and he should be nominated for an OSCAR, actually he should be nominated for GG and SAG as well, he was that fantastic IMO,and if he is not nominated I will go postal on somebody, jk, but I will be very disappointed. I wish there was a special award that can be given to the whole cast of Babel, because they all deserve some kind of award for the great job that they did in Babel. Babel is a masterpiece, a very powerful movie, that can teach us a whole lot about the world we live in.

The exchange between Meditteranean and Jared at the beginning of this thread at around 0230am was cute.
It is a Happy Babel day for us BAMZters and also for us in the US let’s not forget to salute our men and women in uniform and the sacrifices of their families - past and present.
I went to see Babel with my husband with no duress since he liked Brad in Seven and the Ocean’s series. I just want to add that Babel is moviemaking at its finest. The movie makes you feel, think and ponder about the good and bad aspects of life from different cultures. It is a work of art that beholds. To those who haven’t seen it, go see it when you get the chance.

I spent 2 weeks in Hong Kong and another week in Beijing. I must say, many people smoke in Asia. I was walking on the street and I keep smelling smoke. At the end of the day, my clothes smelled like cig.

I read some business articles that smoking actually declined in the US, but the market for Marborogh is doing well in Asia. So I wont be surprised if many Indian people smoke.

for those of you haven’t seen the film…sorry for revealing too much. for those of us who have, i’ve set up a topic on the YG if you want to get serious discussing it.

let the party continue!

Thanks Jared for the pics! Another person from San Diego, in the house! I love Brad, but it’s a bit ironic, he is covering his face, from the pollution, but he is smoking, contributing to the pollution…………

I know it’s a VERY hard habit to break, but Brad PLEASE stop smoking! We want to see you as an old man, enjoying your grandchildren.

Have a good day, everyone.

Michigan vs. THE Ohio State, one week away, and counting………..

He is really something!!! Like fine wine..he ages so good….and its because he is happy…I love his casualness, his outgoing to people, his affection for his children…all the things that the Ken and Barbie stage of his life with JA..left him void…it was all about money, clothes, appearances and nothing…with her…never saw them except on the red carpet all spiffed up…these other 2…Angie and Family..are real…and he is loving it…He is preserving all the scenes for his family to look over and remember when they were there…whatta guy….adore him ……..

I saw Babel last night I took many people with me, The theatre was full and you could hear a pin drop all the way through… Though sniffles could also be heard.
What a beautiful, thought provoking, and powerful film. It puts you through a whole kaleidoscope of emotions.. The scene with Brad helping Kate broke my heart. Every story was magnificently told. I loved it.
I’ll go back this weekend with My husband..

oops cate*
thanks Jared for the new thread. He looks so incredibly hot.

Thank you, gitane -

I am dancing and listening to music really LOUD today. I am in the mood to appreciate hearing and all of its benefits….

Hey Guys, I have to go out for a while as well, thanks Gitane for moving the discussion to the YG, brilliant idea my friend :) and you guys have fun will catch up later

BBL

Hi guys!! Checking in today!! Thanks for asking about me ((((HUGS!!))))!! Happy Babel Day to all those who have seen and have yet to see! OMG I think that is so wonderful Brad got out on his bike, and took off on his own tour anonymously in India — unlike a certain naggy fug ball and chain that made him miserable, I bet Angelina encourages the wanderer in him — they feed each other!

Was catching up on posts - and boy oh boy, do I LOVE JANICE MIN - lolol, calling Traniston out like that (Muahaha, look *****, the pappies weren’t here for you okay, they were waiting for Posh). There is no love lost and I am loving it. I kinda love how among the semi-legit weeklies, Traniston is kind of like a woman without a home (though she does have her biggest ENABLER going, Oprah) — when it comes to getting out news, she has been FORCED now to go to ‘People’ — the same mag that declared BAMZS ‘The Most Beautiful Family in The World,’ ahahahaha! She can’t go to US anymore - US loathes her. People doesn’t really feel the love either — she wanted a cover when she came to them to clear up the ‘engagement’ thing and got one teeny page on the inside. Yesss!! When Huvaniston balked at that - they put her on a ‘best-dressed/worst dressed’ issue with 3 OTHER PEOPLE (ahahaha!) - and they didn’t even say which one she was!! LOL Then in a final homage, after Huvane probably called up screaming over that one….People then put a small unattractive pic of her on a ‘How to Pick Jeans’ specialty issue. Muahaha. I bet they are sick of her too.

Love Brad & Mad and the toy helicopter shot (((swoon))) — Angelina could not have found a better Dad than Brad for her kids — she knows it too….I think for AJ, if it wasn’t going to be Brad, she would have remained a single mom for the rest of her life. That People cover pic, of her looking at Brad as he’s looking at Shilo, is her telling the world how much she loves THAT MAN. It’s one of the most powerful pictures of a woman in love I’ve ever seen.

Hey — who else besides me is counting the days until HAPPY FEET???!!! :-D I cannot wait!!

Anyhoo - am going for some grub, will check you guys later.

Good Afternoon Everyone! It looks like quite a few have seen the movie already. I am finally going to see it this afternoon - with or without the hubby.
Guli - I would love to see Med’s pictures of Istanbul if you could e-mail them to me.
I inderstand that the Jolie-Pitts have checked out of their hotel in Pune. I wonder when they’re coming home!
Brad looks so good in these pictures taking photos of the city. I think he should carry his camera and take pics of the paps who won’t leave him alone. As for his smoking, I am sure it must be hard to quit, otherwise he would have by now. May be that is one way he deals with the stress of being followed everywhere. Hopefully he will be able to quit in the future.

Alex we are going to need all the bouncers, sheriff and anyone else next Saturday to make sure we stay best pals and co-workers, remember how it was you and I started YG. We want to be role models, that we can agree to disagree :lol: OK just for you Alex I am taking down my “Muck Fichigan ” flag and putting up “Go Bucks” flag, (darn it , I love that flag, I’ve had it since my college dorm days).

the crabcakes & cucumber salad are ready!!!

Guli-

Thanks so much. I just got them.

Mediterranean- You have beautiful views of the Bosphorus from your house. What a lovely place. You should also see the pictures of Guli’s place in Bodrum. Her views of the Aegean Sea are also beautiful.

Thanks to both of you.

OK folks, you guys are going to kill me for this so TP could I have a shot of Ouzo first, before I am lynched by my BAMZS friends.

Okey Dokey, this is pure speculation on my part. I don’t think they will be coming to USA right away. Remember there is that village they are involved in building with Dr.Jefrrey in Cambodia. Plus Brad hasn’t seen Angies house there JMHO :lol:

Guli,

If I am not mistaking, Mediterranean cooked sucuklu kuru fasulye, pilav, and kereviz dolmasi last night. May be she has some left to bring and share with us. As for myself, I am making manti ( Turkish ravioli) which I’ve learned from my Erzurum’lu aunts, but it is time consuming, so you will have to be patient and wait for a while.

Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now december found the love that we shared in september.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember

A big shout out to Cindy2 if she’s lurking out there! I’m glad you’re doing better. You had us all worried. I’ll be waiting for your farewell…although I’m sorry to see you leaving us. Why is it always the sane people who know when to leave?

Looking for your hot lovely comments!!

Hi guys, happy Babel party. Saw Babel for the second time yesterday. Still loved it. I like the acting and the realism of the scenes the most. So whether I already knew the story or not, it doesn’t matter. As someone said above, I too like Cate Blanchett more and more. The only films I saw oh hers was Elizabeth, and The Aviator. She was outstanding, as she is in Babel. Her appearance in Babel is short, but so powerful. She conveyed so much with her facial expressions. I think she is the greatest actress, better even than Merrill Streep.

All right, who wants to go old school and do the running man w/ me? :)

I just saw Babel. Babel is a very moving, beautiful film. I did not find it depressing but rather uplifting. It makes you appreciate what you have and not take it for granted. BP was exceptional in the film. He deserves an Oscar Nominmation. Next to AJ, I think BP has great film chemistry with Cate B. The Mexican Nanny and the Japanese girl should also get Oscar Nominations. Overall, a very moving and powerful film. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. The Departed and Babel should both get plenty of Oscar Nods. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I am ready for the Babel Party. PARTY OVA HERE!!!!

Hey Cliniqua - I’m hoping one of our folks who get’s the People mag will be kind enough to type up a letter to the mag about the X/VV cover that cracked me up. They only printed 2 letters about that story - one from a Faniston…and one who told them they wasted a cover on a woman who was only concerned about herself and her image whereas Brad and Angie were out there trying to make a difference in the world and at least when there was a story on them it brought that fact to light. It was pretty danged funny.

Guys, the show Best Week Ever just said that they’re not going to get married until everyone else can lol

Let me bust this **** out for you. From the November 20, 2006 People Magazine Mailbag:

Are you kidding me? How bold and noble of Jen and Vince to defend the genuineness of their relationship against the -gasp!- churning rumor mill. But I’d rather read about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie helping the world’s most vulnerable people recover from poverty and illness. What have Jen and Vince done to contribute the way Pitt and Jolie have? Nothing to deserve a cover story.

Oh here’s basically what the other reader letter said:

blah blah gorgeous blah blah Vince is blah humble and handsome blah blah. Cheat blah blah moron blah blah blah wonderful blah blah love.

Some Chin fan from The Netherlands

MUMBAI: Angelina Jolie has shifted location. She is now in Mumbai to shoot for her film ‘A Mighty Heart’, based on the life of slain reporter of Wall Street Journal, Daniel Pearl.

The actress, who plays Pearl’s wife Mariane, arrived in a private chopper on Saturday afternoon and is staying at the seafacing Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotel in Colaba.

It is learnt that the entire unit of the film has landed in Mumbai and are currently doing a recce of locations for an eight-day shooting schedule, starting Monday. The film chart Pearl’s life and career until his abduction and murder by Al Qaida terrorists in Karachi.

According to a unit member, the movie will be shot on the streets at Mohammed Ali Road, a McDonalds outlet in south Mumbai, and lounge bars Indigo and Soul Fry.

Pearl, who lived in Mumbai for seven years, was a familiar face at Soul Fry and Indigo, where he often played music with Joe Alvarez.

“Indigo is close to Taj, where the unit is staying and in all likelihood they will be shooting a few scenes of Pearl there. Also at a saloon where he often went for a hair cut,” said a source.

Ramesh Sharma, who has directed a documentary on Pearl named ‘The Journalist and The Jihadi: The Murder of Daniel Pearl’, said those were happy years for the reporter.

He had an extensive social circle, which developed during the time spent in the city. “Daniel was a very good musician and a trained classical musician. He could’ve easily become a musician. He played all kinds of instruments, from the violin to a fiddle at Indigo and Soul Fry,” said Sharma.

Most of the scenes to be shot in the city will be between Irfan Khan, Angelina Jolie and Dan Futtermann.As for the Mohammed Ali Road connection, Mariane used to go shopping there for knick knacks.

When told that Angelina will be shooting on Monday with Irfan Khan, who plays Captain (a Pakistani police officer who helped her), Sharma said, “Captain never came to India and did not want to be interviewed either by us for the documentary.

Mohammed Ali Road is very similar to that of markets in Karachi and that may be the reason they are shooting there.” Although she has denied interviews to the media all through her shooting in Pune, Jolie is likely to call a press conference before wrapping up the shoot.

Hi Maniston, I saw that too yesterday, browsing People in the bookstore, while waiting to see Babel. They printed that remark on the very top, in bold letters. Exactly how I feel. But, it’s sad that they are still trying to play the triangle by including the letter mentioning B&A. They could have picked another letter.

piper, with a low @ 11/11/2006 at 5:06 pm

Hey all,
I just came from seeing Babel. And it’s with a heavy heart that I have to say this… if BP does another movie where his physique/looks are the primary selling point, I will have to spank him… hard and definitely not out of pleasure. He, along with the rest of the cast, was fantastic. BP completely disappeared… he was Richard. I know a lot of you projected his current family situation into the film, but I have to disagree. BP went to a place I never saw him go and it was devastating, and yet, you want him to do more exploration of the human spirit, and not necessarily in a drama. I know some of us kid about temples, him being a god, etc., but if we, his fans, and the decisionmakers in HW would step off, for however long it takes, we would be rewarded with a bounty of excellent work from BP.

Oooh, Maniston ,dancing! I’m kinda a freeform dancer myself
I just came back from a planet where all the guys looked like Brad
Damn there was some dank sh^t in that spliff!!

piper, with a low —good one piper ITA. I was watching Richard not Brad pretty much the whole movie until towards the end he talks to his son. I also thought about how much Brad also wanted to be a dad. But, I think every single person acting in babel was outstanding…..

He needs to stop smoking.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wasn’t it awesome to see a ’star’ not fallback on the qualities and affectations that made him a star? I remember someone posting a scan/website of the New Yorker; it critiqued X in TBU- no comment on her acting, like it warranted comment, but the article stated that she was the tannest Chicagian ever depicted in film, or something to that effect. Again, I am not saying that it is necessary for every actor to transform themselves physically, but an actor has to surrender some of their stuff in order to gain something from the character they are portraying. BP did that and I have never been prouder of him. He was top drawer in this film and I hope he continues on this trip.

Sounds interesting! I’ll check with the church tourist group >> if they go to Africa.
Send me some pictures of Tunisia. Is Tunisia your birthplace? You know I’m a filipino , Philippines is my birthplace, I came to USA, Missouri 1983. I have a plan maybe next year to see Jerusalem, Italy, Paris & France. I’m saving all my vacation days. If I go to Africa, I would love to see Morroco, Namimbia & Tunisia!

Oh i’m loyal fan of the Jolie-Pitts family. I love seeing Brad & Angie care for their toodlers. Shiloh is soo adorable. Cute to see Brad carrying little Zahara & buying toys for Maddox. I am so happy Brad & Angie found each other. I’d been a fan of Brad in Legends of the Fall & Meet Joe Black. I did not follow his lovelife with G Paltrow nor Jennifer A >>> not likeble women for me but with Angelina >>>heaven !!! >>> addicting !!

Babel is great. all of the stories are so human. I loved Brad’s story. But the Japanese girl story was so heart felt. She really needed was some form of release, since she couldn’t express herself verbally she tried or wanted sex. Also the house keepers story. I too hated the nephew. The young brothers that was heart breaking. The scene I loved the most was when the old lady gave Kate the pipe to smoke. Remember just a scene before Kate had told Brad not to use the ice in his drink. Yet she smoked a pipe after the old toothless woman. Pain changes everything.

Copied from a board:

the more I read the more there is no need for me to go to the cinema as I’m getting scene per scene expressed here. Im sorry for nagging, but so many times it was asked not to talk so much abuit the movie and people still telling as if we all were at the cinema to! i give up

New people come in to talk about it, they probably did not read the warnings, so keep telling them ‘no spoilers’.

Dina, gitane has opened up a discussion forum on YG for those who want to talk about it.

Hey Guli,

Would you let me know how to join the YG group? I missed the train :)

Thanks Guli! I will check my email — I have a special account for these blogs :) but don’t check it often enough….

Hey are they in Taj Mahal? I knew they would go there—so romantic :)
http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=209300

It can’t be helped by some not to give out some plot lines of the movie to describe how BABEL affected them. Anyhow, it is an exhilirating experience to watch the movie on the big screen, the landscapes, the background music and most especially the acting of the entire cast is just exceptional. I agree with others, I forgot the Brad Pitt as he portrayed Richard Jones. I didn’t even have to ask my husband but he said that we should watch it again next week!

Be sane, thanks for the article. It is funny how the journalists want to get every detail of their activities. I’m sure they’ll be feeling safer in the new place, seems the security there is tighter.

Hi all. =)

Be Sane- Taj Mahal is in a city called Agra and BAMZS are in Bombaby (Mumbai). The hotel is called The Taj Mahal and Tower hotel in the article Ritzygal put up.

Hope Brad can kick his smoking habit but good to see him taking in the sights in India.

oops meant to bombay not bombaby LOL. :P

Thanks for the article, I can’t beleive they are giving their room numbers again damn it.

Stardust,

How are you? I just found another person that’s on MSNBC that’s more irritating than CM….Rita Cosby! For all I know, that may be what her voice naturally sounds like but whenever I accidentally stumble upon her show I can’t help but think, “God, ease up on the smokes sweetie!….And possibly the testosterone!” lol And I’m sorry but she doesn’t seem that bright either.

It makes me sad to see the lack of women that have their own hour news show during primetime. Yes, there’s Katie but…I’m just not a huge fan and neither is America because her ratings aren’t doing so great. Although I really like Amy Robach because she’s mix of beauty, wit, and intelligence, which is why she’s Keith’s first sub. anchor whenever he’s sick or has to travel.

Now that I think about it…women dominant daytime tv talk shows while men have late night. Not that I mind watching Conan, Jon, Stephen and at 8, Keith…but I’d like to have some variety, ya know? I saw Amy Sedaris on Martha Stewart where she made fun of Martha’s single life and I just thought, “Amy should have her own talk show!” Martha made things worst by saying, “I don’t live alone..I have five cats” LOL

As much as I like Brangelina I went to see Babel because I really like the director. I love all of the stories in the movie and how they all interwine. I didn’t cry as much as I though and it’s a good thing. I hate it when movies try hard to make you cry. It was more a sombre and reflective movie. It’s also refreshing to see Brad Pitt grown up.

I really really don’t like seeing him still smoking :( Damn you addictive nicotine. Leave Brad alone!

Hey ladies!! Ouzo mavrodafni and chipouro is here!!! Lets start getting drunk!!

Thank you to all the ladies, that are posting the Box Office numbers for Babel, I am really hope that it will do well this weekend

Who is hotter or prettier brad Or Angelina?

Piper,

I agree with you too. I love Iñarritu also and I’m seeing this movie because of him and Brad. I own Amores Perros, but I’ve never seen 21 Grams, but I’ve rented it and will watch it before I go see Babel tomorrow. I want to see all of Iñarritu’s vision in it’s entirety.

I love Brad Pitt though and always have. He’s a really underrated actor and it’s definitely because he had to fight his pretty boy image. I could have honestly seen him go the Paul Walker route (and I loves me some Paul Walker because he’s damn fine) and chosen roles that never detract from his looks, but use them instead to promote his talent (and it doesn’t have to be said that Brad is milliions times more talented than one of my favorite eye candies Paul Walker). I’ve always looked pasted Brad’s looks because he is so damn talented.

No matter the role he just IMO brings so much too it, and has such great range. I can’t stand it when people try and say he’s not a good actor. I’m always like WTF! Without a Brad Pitt in this world who would have brought us Legends of the Fall or 12 Monkeys (the ease with which he could morph into this insane person, right down to the head jerks and weird body movements), or Tyler Durden in Fight Club or the Jamican accent he affected in Meet Joe Black or the end scene of Seven when you can see him balancing his rage against his sanity before finally giving in to shoot Kevin Spacey. He’s great and memorable. I can’t wait to see him in Babel I have no doubt he will bring something special to the charachter he portrays.

He definitely needs to be interviewed by James Lipton on Inside the Actor’s Studio. I’d love to hear him just talk about his work.

He’s so modest to a fault though and I think, honestly, that is his biggest drawback (although a noble one). He has every right to be proud and boast about his talents, but I remember hearing about how one of his family members said that he has always been acutely aware of the advantages he has, in the looks department, and probably otherwise, and thus attempts to detract from himself instead of sometimes taking the credit he deserves. I guess that means it’s up to us fans to praise him when he doesn’t do it himself.

Both Are Incredibly Hot!!!!no wonder their together!Best Lucks Two Both

Hi Alex, well we shall wait and see…. :lol: Alex do me a favor and check your mail I forwarded Medi’s istanbul pics to YG, but keep on geeting an error, I sent it to you seperately, if you get it will you forward it to the rest… many thanks.

Great post. ITA on Lipton. It would be a great interview—I really love the Angie’s IAS. I remember that interview (with who was it? Sawyer?) that he admits his looks had given him advantage in life and his mother had made him aware that he needs to earn with merit.

I too noticed him in movies, especially with 12 monkeys. I thought until then he was just another hunk but he is actually a character actor trapped in a beautiful body LOL

And your welcome everyone on the link—sorry I might have propagated their whereabouts though, you are right… too much information.

I’m so excited about Babel coming out — and not just in the art house but in the main theaters!! But I won’t be able to see it until next week because of work obligations — so no spoilers, okay?! Besides, that’s good to give it some box office the next week, too, so the dropoff isn’t so much. Give the movie legs — don’t everyone see it right away!

Hey Guli, I sent the pictures, check your e-mail, I don’t know how to put them in the YG, so I am hoping one of the ladies will know how to do it and will upload it to the YG

No matter the role he just IMO brings so much too it, and has such great range. I can’t stand it when people try and say he’s not a good actor. I’m always like WTF! Without a Brad Pitt in this world who would have brought us Legends of the Fall or 12 Monkeys (the ease with which he could morph into this insane person, right down to the head jerks and weird body movements), or Tyler Durden in Fight Club or the Jamican accent he affected in Meet Joe Black or the end scene of Seven when you can see him balancing his rage against his sanity before finally giving in to shoot Kevin Spacey. He’s great and memorable. I can’t wait to see him in Babel I have no doubt he will bring something special to the charachter he portrays.

Lula you are spot on!! Great post!
The first movie I ever saw with Brad was “Seven years in Tibet” (and don’t forget his Austrian accent to this movie also). My mother had show the movie before me and told me this phrase “I’ve never seen a man this beautiful in my entire life” and then I saw it on my own out of curiosity. That was it for me! I was astonished by his looks! I was in lust, in love, in everything!! LOL!

After that I started following his carrier by watching more of his films. The second one was “Seven”. I simply LOVE this movie until now. The storyline always had an intense effect on me. And I was like “Wow! Wait a minute this man can really act!!”. This last scene when they are bringing his wife’s head in the box and the way his screams “what’s in the f**** box??” My Lord I was trembling and crying at the same time!

And then comes Fight Club, Twelve Monkeys A River Runs Trough It, Legends of The Fall, Snatch, and even old ones like California and Too young to Die. The man is talented and has a great charisma on the screen. He has given remarkable performances in the past. They way he is putting all of his emotions on his face. His eyes and his forehead. He uses his forehead a lot to express emotion in the characters he portrays. His great ability to change his accent whenever is needed and be very persuadable in that such as SYIT Snatch and California. And of course the way he is changing his looks. He never looked the same in ANY of his films. I never got the impression that Brad Pitt is playing Tristan or Tyler or Mills. The characters were always in the front run. Not his Star persona. Unfortunately some people couldn’t scratch a little deeper that the surface of his looks and many took him just like a “pretty face”. But this man has proved from the beginning that he is a lot more than that.

i don’t know why but most of my favourite directors are spanish/mexican. there’s always this understated line of emotion that i respond to very deeply ie Y tu mamá también (yay, Gael García), talk to her, 21 grams (you’ll like it), volver they’re all great.

while i didn’t really appreciate Brad Pitt as an actor (I really really don’t like GPaltrow and therefore hated everything she touched) I enjoyed him in this movie very much. I didn’t watch him act, I saw him feel and it was moving. That telephone scene and the silence followed, ugh heart-breaking.

The actress that plays the nanny is scary good. Not one faulty moment. I’d like to see her nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Personally, Sleepers is one of my favorites of Brad’s. His performance impressed me greatly.

Okay gotta go for good…

Brangelina have finally left Pune after a 38-day shooting schedule of A Mighty Heart in Pune. Along with kids Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh, the couple left for Mumbai at around 9:30 in the morning yesterday, keeping the media guessing. It was being speculated that they would leave late on Saturday evening or early Sunday morning. But Brangelina gave the media the slip and left quietly on Saturday morning.They are expected to shoot there for five days before going to Goa for a three-day-long schedule of A Mighty Heart. “They are not going to Goa for a pleasure trip.We have finalised some locations for shooting there,” said a source from the production unit.
On Friday evening itself, intense speculation had started amongst the production unit and hotel authorities that the couple might leave late on Friday night or even early morning on Saturday may be at two or three. But finally they settled for a morning exit.
When they left Le Meridien hotel in Pune in the morning, there was no media there. Hotel authorities managed to keep their exit hushhush.They left from the VIP parking of the hotel which is underground.
Meanwhile, the mood at Sindh Society was upbeat as we met some of the casting members of the film. Ghulam Mohammad and Maqbool were among the artistes who were there for shooting on the last day. “The shot today was that of Eid where we were showing the festivities associated with the festival. It was a shot showing Pakistan where a number of family members and friends have assembled to celebrate Eid,” says Maqbool.
Ghulam plays a butcher in the movie and his shot is that of cutting a goat on Eid. “The shot was of a prosperous family in Pakistan,” he says. Ghulam adds that a Pakistani citizen has been there with the crew “to teach the taur-tarika and Pakistani rituals.” The movie is based on the assassination of Daniel Pearl. Sindh Society had been transformed to Zamzama Street of Karachi to show it as Pakistan. Some shots of the Karachi Police have also been taken as we saw junior artistes in police uniforms and also dressed as pathans. “We had a great time we spent with Angelina ma’am.We hope that she comes back,” says a technical member of the crew. It’s over to Mumbai for now!

I mean BABEL IS NOT OUT EVERYWHERE FOR EVERYONE.

Passing Through - i say that letter too and was thinking to myself… bet it’s someone from JJ who wrote that letter ( the person did not reveal their name) i wanted to laugh, but i didn’t want any stares…

Not spoiling, but Babel was fantastic. Brad hit a home run with this film. As did everyone else. It really is a must-see film. It better clean up at the Oscars.

Alex, thank you so much, I can always count on you. I don’t know my problems with yahoo… We can ask PT, Estelle or Raq to do it I don’t know how to put pics in albums on YG…. Many thanks again…

I would love to see Brad on James Lipton as well. But I would really love to see brad on Charlie Rose again. They have mutual respect and interests and they click. Plus, it would be great to see them go over his june2004 interview…. Everything he said he wanted to do he is doing it right now.. Actually, I am going to watch part 3 again.. BRB

think positive! never got the impression that Brad Pitt is playing Tristan or Tyler or Mills.
===============

ITA… and this is my issue with TC even before the crazyness of last year…. whenever i see his movie all i see is TC, i never see the person he is supposed to be…as good as he was in collatoral, all i saw was TC with fake grey hair not the man he was playing…

Hi Amaya. I’m good. How are you? I logged off and didn’t see your post. Sorry about that.

Rita Cosby does have a very annoying voice. The only time I’ve seen her though is when I was watching TDS and Jon was making fun of her. Maybe the voice is because of both, smoking and the testosterone! LOL. Whatever it is that causes her to sound like that, it makes me think of listening to nails against a chalkboard.

She should try print journalism because I heard her show doesn’t do all that well ratings wise and she obviously can’t do radio. Ok, I’ll stop with the bashing. Bad stardust! lol

———————————————————————————————
I saw Amy Sedaris on Martha Stewart where she made fun of Martha’s single life and I just thought, “Amy should have her own talk show!” Martha made things worst by saying, “I don’t live alone..I have five cats” LOL
—————————————————————————————-

Bwhahahahhaha! Poor Martha. I wonder if she realized later how that came off sounding to everyone.

I would like it if there were more prominent women on T.V. too except that the majority of the woman on T.V. are people that I find annoying (Nancy Grace …ughh), or don’t care about (Katie).

The only one I like are Ellen and Sam Bee. So I’d probably would end up complaining or not caring if more women were given their own hour news show during primetime.

Amy Sedaris is hilarous and if she had her own show, I’d check it out but other than that, I can’t even think of another woman who should be given some more T.V. time…one which I like.

I love watching Conan too. Can’t wait till Leno retires (no offense) and Conan moves up to his time spot. I wonder how Conan vs. Letterman would do……

I love Ellen too! She’s just fabulous as is Sam Bee. Another thing about Amy’s appearance on Martha, she was asked where she got one of her recipes from for her book “I Like You” and she happily said “My brother’s boyfriend, Hugh Hamrick” and there was this odd silence from the audience and Martha..she quickly changed the subject, Martha that is. Watching them together…Amy has so much personality and wit while Martha is incredibly dull. I can’t stand Nancy Grace either.

I’m not a Leno fan yet he still beats Dave in the ratings. I know that Dave is at least kind towards Conan. He congratulated him when Conan’s daughter was born.

I seriously found three things about KO that makes me want him even more lol Yes, he is my favorite news anchor and all but I’m not blind. First, as a kid he begged his parents to go on a family vacation to Pittsburgh because he wanted to see the trolleys! And he was six :) The second thing, he was given an Ann Coulter doll on his show and he bashed the crap out of it! Lastly, I know people call him arrogant but when he did coverage of the elections w/ Chris Matthews he did the cutest thing. Chris complimented by comparing him to Edward R. Murrow and he modestly looked down! And he’s actually won the Edward R. Murrow award before yet he’s still very hesitant when people make that comparison..adorable!

CINDY 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ((((((((((((((HUGS AND LOVES TO YOU))))))))))))))))))))))
finally I have the time to read this new thread, and behold your post. It’s like a remedy for chaos and headache. Your post always calm my nerve for some reason, I don’t know why. I’m so happy to hear from you and that you are doing well. ( I was thinking of you when I was at the voting booth. Everything Dem….. :) )
We still stuck with Arnold though, oh well, we can not win them all. Everyone here is doing well so far. Our YG groups is growing and our e-mail club is out of control ( you should read some of the e-mail, * rolled eyes*). We have so much fun. Any how, I hope to hear from you again soon.

ritzygal,

I don’t get you, I really really don’t. You come in here being rude to the fans and to this couple in the very beginning. Then you go away and start posting under different names to rile people up. You accuse others of falsely saying that you are multiple names, yet in later comment, you fess up that you did you a few different names. You even pretended to be a fan who was studying to be a cook. “Foodie” was the name you used. Passing Through caught your comment and exposed you. Now whenever someone says that some hater might be ritzygal, you disagree as though if you never done something like that in the past and we should believe you. Now you are leaving articles and links to pictures about this couple, which you used to severly criticize and you’r acting all nice. I even find myself agreeing with a few of your recent comments. What is your deal with the fans and Brad and Angelina?

Just got back from seeing the movie. It was a very good film. Brad’s performance was his best to date. I am thinking that he will get an Academy Award nomination for this. The whole movie was beautifully acted.

gutsy PATTY…..you do look FAT!

I know she is nuts because I’ve lurked here at Jared’s for a long time but I don’t get why she’s being so nice all of a suddent and giving links to pictures. Not that I mind but I still can’t figure out if this is some kind olive branch peace treaty kind of think or will she turn around the next minute and be the old ritzy again. Like I said, I don’t get what her deal is. She also said she would be going on vacation yesterday and here she is again. One minute she’s taunting people, the next minute she sounds rational for a surprise. Ok, back to lurker mode.

lurker/fan Says: - be prepared, the old ritzy is coming back….

Hello everyone. I try to read posts when I can, and you all remain inspired and inspiring. This blog site is so invigorating sometimes, if not a little redundant. You all have become familiar to me, bringing me outrage and compassion in one voice. I wish I was more vocal here. I so admire the humanitarian way that prevails here and, which brought me here first. AJ has thought outside the box for much of her life. She is one I’ve admired from a perspective outside of popular culture. I truly thought that BP and Aniston were a “made up” Hollywood stunt, like many famous people who keep the public persona away from the true selves. I saw Babel last night. This is a movie that has much to say about communication, culture and hope. I myself, thought it was brilliant. Not a star-type of vehicle.

I can’t sit through too many movies that rivit me these days. Babel was over 2 hours long, but it seemed only like the moments experienced. Amelia is one of many and remains a moral lighthouse; I related to Richard because of his experience of losing a child. The movie is expressive and tells an continuing story that many should hear, whatever critics may say.
I bought People with Britney Spears on cover. The mundane lives on in/with the Malibu crowd, but it continues to distract me and therefore, alleviate attention to what hurts. I (guiltily) liked the obvious diss on Aniston in the “”Mailbag” and appreciated the advise taken when the Jolie Pitts’ efforts were appreciated.pages later…(they really don’t care about the recognition, IMHO).

I hope all is well with all of you…Listen always, act when you can.

Amaya - Omg! I guess Amy was really doing her part to make Martha feel uneasy. LOL. Loved the my brother’s boyfriend part.

I don’t find Leno funny at all so I still can’t understand how he gets those ratings. Letterman’s jokes are funny but he is little mean spirited with his comments. Conan is really goofy and no matter who the guests are, it’s always fun to watch. I think the fact that he is self-depreciating makes him funny.

KO really is the present day Edward R. Murrow. Even though KO is funnier. You gotta calm down with your KO crush. Lol.. Is he married? If not, then procede ahead. I wish I could have seen him bash the hell out of that Coulter doll. She is completely psyhco and when she went after those widows, all I could say was WTF?!!!

Wierdly enough, she reminds me a lot of my high school government teacher. *Shivers*

After Martha said her cats comment Amy said “Really Martha, who are those PEOPLE?” I was dying by this point lol

I love Conan for the same reasons. The string dance is lovely.

KO has never been married…but even if he was I’d still think he was sexy. lol He voted Sexiest anchor in 2004 by Playgirl for a reason. He’s also TALL…he’d be a fun climb. :lol:

Here’s him when Chris compared him to Murrow

Good Evening BAMZS Fans! I saw Babel again tonight and it played even better this time than the first time. Before I go on, I just want to say that this post will NOT contain spoilers. For those fans who accidentally read some of the earlier posts containing spoilers, please don’t be discouraged. Go out there and see the movie. I knew exactly what was going to happen and I still left the theater feeling that in some ways I was seeing the movie for the very first time. I cried during scenes for this showing where I didn’t cry when I saw the movie a week ago. Last week I found the Japanese storyline the most compelling and this time it was the American couple’s (Pitt & Blanchett) that kept me at the end of my seat.

Its also fun to notice how different tonight’s audience reacted compared to the one I sat with last Friday. Tonight’s audience was not shy about laughing during the funny parts and at least imo were a little more shy about crying during the emotional scenes. There was a lot more clearing of throats and deep breathing and discreet wiping of the eyes whereas last weeks audience had some loud criers. LOL The audience was full and I mean full. Even the dreaded front row, neck breaking seats, were taken. This is definitely a movie that all the actors can and should be proud of being a part of.

Observer2 Says: - thanks, hopefully JJ will be able to post them….

Amaya - Thanks for both of the videos. I think I enjoyed the Doll bashing slightly more. I didn’t even mind the resolution because of what KO was doing. LOL. He reminds of Colbert and vice versa. Maybe it’s the glasses. And they are both sexay. lol.

I’m dying of laughter just thinking about Martha’s reaction and seeing the audience’s faces, I don’t think I’d be able to watch it for myself.

Off Topic: Matt Damon & the One Campaign

Dear ONE Member,

Right now, three human beings are attempting the impossible – running 4,000 miles across the Sahara Desert to raise awareness for the 1.2 billion people around the world who don’t have access to clean water. They will run 50 miles a day - for around 80 days - an amazing feat of human will and endurance.

Get updates on the run and join me in the fight for clean water (see link below)

Earlier this spring, my friends at the ONE Campaign and DATA brought me to Zambia and South Africa, where I witnessed extreme poverty and the role that clean drinking water plays in getting millions out of danger. I learned that a child dies every 15 seconds due to diseases from dirty water.

Upon my return, I wanted to do something.

Through some friends, I learned about three men who will undertake a quest so amazing and symbolic that it could do an immense amount of good for Africans in extreme poverty. In a bold expedition that has never been attempted - 3 men, from 3 nations will run from the Atlantic coast of Senegal, through Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Libya, to the Red Sea in Egypt.

My colleagues, including James Moll - a great filmmaker who won the Oscar for Best Documentary in 1999 - are documenting and promoting the expedition in our project called “Running the Sahara”. As part of this effort, we’ve started a charitable initiative called H2O Africa, in a large part to raise awareness for clean water programs on the continent.

One of the reasons I got involved in the project was because of the day I spent with a 14 year-old girl in Zambia earlier this year. I walked two miles with her to the closest water source, a well outside her village. I asked her if she wanted to stay in her village when she grew up, and her face exploded into a huge smile. The translator said to me, “She is being very shy…she says that she wants to move to big city - Lusaka - she wants to be a nurse.” And it was clear to me at that moment that if this well were not there for her, she would never even be able to entertain the concept of planning for the future - she would have been trying to survive just for that day.

This one well was giving hope to thousands of people in the surrounding area, and this hope translates into something concrete - that girl can now fulfill a dream to become a nurse, and can become an economic contributor to the Zambian economy.

Running the Sahara is happening NOW. These guys are there and they are going for it. And we want the world to sit up and take notice. These guys are my heroes, and I want to do whatever I can to support them and their mission.

Please join me

Thank you,

Matt Damon, ONE Member

P.S. Stay tuned! Next week ONE is sending a small team to Mali to catch up with the runners. The team will upload video and blog reports about the progress of the expedition!

Pitt, Jolie arrive in city

Security to remain tight throughout their week-long stay

Sai Raje

Mumbai, November 11: The Taj Mahal Palace and Tower in Mumbai seemed like an impenetrable fortress on Saturday morning, with all four roads around the hotel packed with either police vans or patrolling policemen.

But that was understandable, especially when the expected guests at the hotel were someone as high profile as Hollywood heartthrobs Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their three children, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh Nouvel.

Having arrived in the city by a private chartered flight from Pune on Saturday morning, the star couple reached the hotel around 1.30 pm in a motorcade of four cars. Two Toyota Innovas were the front and rear guard of the motorcade while a silver Mercedes and another unidentified car were being driven in the middle. While Pitt appeared to be traveling in the Mercedes, Jolie could not be spotted, as the cars zoomed right into the hotel’s basement via one of the Taj’s entrance gates on the northern side.

Inquiries with some of the staff and security personnel at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower revealed that Jolie and Pitt are staying in a section containing rooms 319 to 353, which are on the third floor of the Taj Mahal Palace.

Security on that floor remained tight throughout the day, with no photography allowed even of the staircase leading to the floor on which the celebrity couple is residing.

The couple went for dinner at a private section at the Indigo Restaurant, behind the Taj.

There is also word that executive chef for the Taj group, Hemant Oberoi, will prepare a special meal for the duo at the Chef’s Studio at Taj Mahal Palace and Tower, on Sunday evening.

The couple supposedly has a taste for the Italian fare and Chef Oberoi could possibly be preparing an Italian meal, after which he will familiarise himself with the duo’s preferences for the week of their stay.

Horsing around
Taking time off the shooting, Brad Pitt played the dutiful father last week when he took Maddox and Zahara to the Japalouppe horse farm in Talegaon, on the outskirts of Pune. ‘‘On October 25 we got a call from `Holly` asking if the kids could come over. As a residential camp was on with 35 kids on the premises, we couldn’t give them exclusive space, but they were okay with it,’’ said Lorraine More, owner of the farm.

They drove in after the security guards checked out the place and ensured that their request of ‘‘ no press people, no crowds, no photographs and no telling anyone’’ had been adhered to. ‘‘ Maddox was thrilled to ride the pony and in half an hour was trotting the pony on his own. I called out to Brad, who was playing with Zahara at the time and he looked so proud - he gave Maddox the thumbs up and called him a champ. Brad was so genuinely happy to see his kids having a good time, he kept clicking pictures,’’ More said.

Hi Stardust, do you know which side of the road they drive in India? In the B&A chopper pic, the car has the steering wheel on the right, which means they must drive on the left over there.

I’m dying of laughter just thinking about Martha’s reaction and seeing the audience’s faces, I don’t think I’d be able to watch it for myself.
*********************************

I loved how there was only one leg left after he was finished with it. His gray hair reminds of Jon so much that when I see videos or pictures of the both of them w/ their naturally dark hair it’s so weird! But the glasses are great too, I wish he’d go back on TCR, he has a reason to because of his new book and of course, I’d love to see him on TDS. How can I not love a man that absolutely detests Ann Coulter?

During Amy’s appearance on Martha’s show they rarely cut to the audience…I assume Martha likes to keep the camera on her at all times lol Just Amy’s delivery killed me. Like she spoke in her Jerri Blank voice when she asked “You live ALONE Martha?” Hahaha. To soften the blow she said, “I do too” but as we all know she has human friends like Jon, Stephen and Paul Dinello and many more. I also assume she has a lot of gay guy friends too.

Well, I finally got to see ‘Babel!’ What a movie! I was totally blown away by the performances, by everyone, professional actors, and non-professional. Brad deserves to be recognized for this piece of work, as well as the Japanese actress. I won’t say anymore to spoil it for anyone, but I will say that it’s a must-see! Two thumbs up, way, way up!

Great to hear that shooting of AMH is finally in its last stages of shooting.

Thanks Jared and Audrey. I’m such a huge fan of your site, and shamelessly confess to being a BAMZS junkie, and need to come here for my daily BAMZS fix.

Hi Ntt.

Yup, Indians drive on the left-hand side of the road and use right-hand-drive vehicles.

Maniston, thanks for the link. I think they have the names of the runners mixed up. Kevin Lin doesn’t look Chinese, while Zarab (sp) looks very Chinese. :)

Guli,

I loved his Charlie Rose interview. I love Charlie Rose. I want to see Pitt on James Lipton because it would pull together the breadth of Pitt’s work for all to see and finally IMO give him the recognition for it that he really deserves.

I want to hear him talk about his craft. I want to know what made him chose certain characters and what he personally brought to the role. I want to know how he feels he’s grown and changed as an actor and where he sees himself in the future. I want to know his personal philosophy when it comes to his craft and I want him to sit in front of other aspiring actors and discuss what has made him so great so that it can be known that beyond his looks he’s a very talented man and should be respected for that.

He did that a bit on Charlie Rose, but I like that Lipton’s focus is on the entirety of his craft and you get to learn so much about the personal philosophy of the actor and get to know what has made them into the actors they are. I’ve gained respect for actors used to consider far less unworthy, such as Teri Hatcher (who actually has a great singing voice), Jennifer Lopez (who actually has held her own with some heavy weight male actors in a way few other women could or have) and Dave Chapelle (who I always loved, but who I recognized how intelligent some of his comedy is).
I think Brad should have that same forum, it would blow people away to realize how much he’s actually contributed to the acting scene. Especially for a man whose career began as the pretty boy in Thelma & Louise.

Piper,

I love Latin American directors, writers, movies in general too. I love Y Tú Mama También also. Gael is such a great actor. I want to see more of his work too.

One of my most favorite is Maria Full of Grace. I loved the actress in the film and the theme. It was really memorable to me.

Thanks Maniston for posting Matt’s letter and the link regarding the ONE Campaign

Grabbed the horrid In Touch w/ Ryan Phillipe on cover and Angie up top, because of this headline — “Latest News: Angelina’s Baby Bump” then over her pic it says, “She’s wearing pregnancy clothes again.” I scanned the article and I swear those rag writers must camp out on JJ and read our ****. LOL They had the same theories, the all-black, tunic’d Angelina who gets skinnier before she gets bigger in her first trimester. Best of all, they claim to have this quote from a Brad rep: “I don’t know that to be true.”

Maniston, your name reminds me that GQ is going to pick it’s “….man of the year” again. Hope they don’t pick Angie. :lol:

Amaya - not only did Keith detach the leg but he threw at the camera. The woman sitting next to him covered her mouth because she was laughing uncontrollably. It was money well spent on the doll. lol

I personally like men with dark hair and salt and pepper hair is so sexy, the only exception I make to that is with Brad. I agree, whenever I see some random flashback on TDS that shows Jon with all dark hair, it’s wierd. He looks way better with the gray.

Speaking of hair, is it me, or does CM’s hair look like a badly made white/blonde toupee? Seriously, I can’t even pay attention to what he’s saying cause all I can do is look at the hair and listen to the tone of his voice. I don’t even hear the words.
