Brad & Angie Tour Gateway of India

Brad & Angie Tour Gateway of India

It was a Pitt family affair earlier this morning, as they took a tour around the seafront promenade at the Gateway of India in Mumbai. Angelina Jolie carried daughter Zahara, almost 2, while Brad Pitt carried son Maddox, 5, on his shoulders. Brad even took the time to chat up tourists along the way!

Security officer Mickey Brett left his pink shirt at home, but black works too!

UPDATE 1
:: Just added one more photo of Brad and Angelina attempting a covert arrival into Mumbai via a chopper. They were immediately ushered into the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower, where the couple had their dinner date last night.

UPDATE 2 :: Hahaha. Looks like Maddox is falling asleep (or already did!) on Brad’s shoulders. Poor little guy must be beat!

Look at them… Team Brangelina… do they look like they need external affirmation?! No… they are affirmed in themselves as a family. So those in need of all that external validation - please grab all the prizes and awards and pity-party audiences, coz this right here is PRICELESS…

Jared and Audrey,

Gosh, you guys are just working Overtime to keep us entertained. Thanks for all the lovely pictures. I am just so glad that they are better able to move around in Mumbai so they can enjoy the beauty of the city. Even though the papz were present at least they were not bothered enough to cut short their walk.

Good Morning to all BAMZS fans.

Wonderful Family!!
Congrats Brad!! You said, I’m happy where I am!…
It shows the happiness on your face. Love you more Brad!

Thanks Jared. I hope the family had a fun time. Zahara always looks like she had an eye on those pesky paps. Look at pics 1. Even half asleep she is looking at them.

Look at picture # 06, Mikey, if looks could kill

Char (MF):

Good Morning! Just woke up and was lurking when I saw your posts late last night and early this morning. Natulog ka pa ba? I was at work till 2:00 Saturday night and my brain must be on overload because even though I was so tired, I still woke up early this morning.

Thanks Jared, amazing pictures!

Brad really has a tattoo on his arm! and Zaraha is getting prettier each day

Good Morning! I emailed Jared of the links when I saw it on the last thread.
I will be loyal to Jared & Audrey, they are both good to the BAMZS fans.

We love this family! we don’t care if we’re tired or too sleepy. I went to bed I think 2:30 am but i got my normal 5 hrs sleep. Once I get out the bed, immediately i turn on the computer and log in to this site.. my normal routine … nice hobby hah! :lol:

Now I have to get my morning coffe and get ready for church.

Alexanderina @ 11/12/2006 at 9:46 am

Hey Mickey you so fine, you so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey :lol: Mickey is definitely rocking that black t-shirt and he is looking so fierce.

Wow! I can hardly keep up with you Just Jared. Your site is the best and you have some of the best pictures of BAMZS. Keep up the good work. Angie looks great. All those haters wish that she was loosing her external looks. AJ is an exotic, beautiful woman. She is amazing on the outside as well as the inside. Zahara is going to be a tall beauty with a sassy spirit. Maddox is handsome and self- assured. BP is fine as ever. I am glad to see many of the captions of the pictures noting AJ UN work. She has really brought the plight of refugees to the forefront. BP is an awesome actor and Babel was a beautiful, moving film. Best wishes to BAMZS and safe travel.

Thanks JJ, as always, U ROCK!!!!

That is a great description of her IMO. I would just add one thing.
A tall beauty with sassy spirit and expressive eyes.

think positive! @ 11/12/2006 at 10:09 am

Jared seriously I don’t know what to say man. You are unbelievable! Even with all this constant black outs of your blog you are still having the best site in cyberspace. You and Audrey are much appreciated and loved by BAMZS fans!

The pictures are just so naturally beautiful!! Nothing superficial.
Just a normal family taking a walk in the streets of Mumbai to see the suroundings.
I love them so much for trying so hard to live a “normal” life in everyway. Although it’s so hard to achieve such a thing when you are hounded in every step you take outside your house. But they are not letting all this stop them from living their lives as they chose to. It takes hard work and their are both hard workers.And Amgie is holding Brad’s back in pick #1 and 6!! CUTE!!

So let’s begin!Since AG did it once first I’m writing this for the haters also so they don’t have to post it. Yes I’m this charitable! I’m a BAMZs fan anyway LOL!

1. Why are they holding the kids?? Aren’t they old enough?? Why they just letting them walk so everyone can abduct them or loose them in the crowd?? I don’t get it??

2. Why is Brad holding Maddox and not Zee?? Why is Angie holding Zee and not Maddox?? Does Brad love more Maddox that Zee?? Does Angie love Zee more than Maddox??

3. Why they are hiding Shiloh?? Why they are letting her stay in the hotel sleeping?? Is it so hard for them to drag a 5 year old infant witch organism can be more easily effected than a toddler to diseases and .Why they just can’t just putt her through all this madness from such a young age??

4. Why they are taking the kids with them?? Where is the stability?? Can’t they just lock them in a stone cage and not see the sun again until they will become old enough?? Bad bad parents they are!!

5. OMG!! Angie is wearing black! (Are you hearing that Jen??) What an evil person she is!! And Zahara is wearing black too.Evil baby!!

6. Brad is walking behind Angie. Pussywiped!!

7. Oh no wait in some pics Angie is walking behind Brad. Weak woman!!

8. Oh look Angie has her hand behind Brad back. I don’t think she is just caressing his back. I’m sure she has a knife and she back stubbing him..

Pheewww! Ok I think that is all!! (wishful thinking) LOL! So haters please don’t step by. I’ve done all your work. Just say “Thank you”!! :)

BRB.I have to catch up on the other thread!

Jared and Audrey, thanks.

looking at these photos, I’d just like to say:

1) I don’t think Angie is pregnant.
2) I think Zahara hair looks fine.
3) I think Maddox’s hair looks fine.
4) I think Brad’s hair looks fine.
5) I think Angelina’s hair looks fine.
6) I think the ice cream is fine.
7) Yep, I think it was a good decision to carry Zahara and Maddox.

When I used to visit Mumbai for work, I stayed at the Taj Mahal Hotel - where Brad, Angelina etc are staying in now. The company I worked for had connections with the Tata Group which owns the hotel.

So, for those of you who are interested, the hotel is separated from the sea by a road/pedestrian street (unless they reclaimed the land since). India Gate is the Arc de Triomphe looking monument behind the Jolie Pitts in picture 8. They were walking down the side of the Taj Hotel. If they kept walking, they would soon reach the Bombay/Mumbai yacht club, a preserve of the seriously wealthy in Mumbai and just beyond that club, a slum. The contrast of wealth and privilege represented by the Taj Mahal Hotel and the yacht club and desparate poverty of a slum will no doubt hit them.

Near India Gate is a pier. There are boat men who could take you on a boat ride perhaps to one of the Islands (I forget the name) with a temple. The Jolie Pitts would be assailed by noise and heat and colour. What stood out most for me though was the smells. Smells of the salty sea mingled with raw sewage, smells of food and spices, smells of bodies.

The Taj Mahal Hotel itself is a beautiful old building, converted into a hotel. its been the place to be seen in Mumbai for many years.

Hi 4Q, Z is the cutest, I just love her big and beautiful eyes, she is soaking in everything around her, and I just love Angie is carrying her like Brad is carrying Madd on his shoulders, I bet that Madd is heaven been carried on Daddy’s shoulders; yeah and so is Z, trying to fall asleep I mean; oh yeah I love the touching as well, so cute

BTW: I hate how the Yahoo keep saying Brad is carrying Angelina’s son, is like wtf, that is Brad’s son as well, people really need to stop that carry ****, Maddox is Brad and Angie’s son period, all they have to say is that Brad is carrying his son, what is so hard about that, sorry about my ranting

If you ever need a bodyguard, Mickey is the MAN. He is looking fierce yet protective in those pictures. He is also rocking that pink shirt in the other thread. Maddox is so cute asleep on his dad’s shoulders. AJ is looking in amazement at Maddox. That BP is one happy, contented fellow. Those pictures of them at dinner are so cute. He is madly in love with this woman. Okay, I will stop gushing. Don’t won’t to upset the haters on a Sunday Morning. I wish them all the best.

piper, with a low @ 11/12/2006 at 10:16 am

Is it just me or doesn’t the image of Maddox on Brad’s shoulder brings Legends of the Fall to mind? Even sleeping Zahara in Angelina’s arms conjures up memories of that movie, with the exception of an awkward run-in with the ex.

I would say Good Evening out there in Tunisia ! Don’t you like the Charle Rose interview with Brad? I keep replaying it. Oprah’s interview- I watched it only one time.. she keeps emphazising she likes JA, I don’t care much of her since I don’t watch her shows, I only did because I would like to see Brad’s response to her.

How are you and ur family?

Hope all is well same as mine.

BTW I just love the way Maddox falls asleep on his dad’s shoulders. Utterly relaxed, utterly trusting of his father’s care.

BABEL IS TANKING AT THE BOX OFFICE. HAHAHA, BRAD IS SO WONDERFUL & POPULAR IT JUST CAN’T BE. HE IS THE KING OF THE WORLD SO WHY DIDN’T ALL OF AMERICA DROP EVERYTHING TO GO SEE HIS CHEATING FACE ON THE BIG SCREEN?

————————————————————————————————

Fist good morning, second you are soo right about that seen. If you have the Legends DVD, The director brout out the fact that Brad spent a day bonding with the boy, and that’s why the scene looked so natural and real. he didn’t have to or was directed to, he just did it. Even back then the daddy in him was coming out

Thanks J&A for the pix. Thanks Lylian for the info on that part of Mumbai. I hope B&A get to see as much of the real India as possible.

Does anyone know how much Babel has made so far? Some posters in other sites are saying that it hasn’t made any money at all, and that Brad fans did not support the movie and that the X’s Friends with Money, a “true” indie, made more money than Babel.

This is my second post but JJ’s been my favorite website for quite sometime now. Iam fascinated with this couple and their beautiful family. Looovve BP. A perfect and beautiful man. Angie rocks too!! Angie and I are geminis and she’s 11 days older to me!!! She’s such a typical gemini. Something tells me she’ll work this relationship out, for the sake of the kids. But my geminine gut says she might get bored with BP after a while. Geminis always love change. But again i may be wrong. Time will say!!

piper, with a low @ 11/12/2006 at 10:28 am

Wow… Zahara is getting big. She’s gone from a baby to a little girl. It’s startling how quickly babies/small children change.

Now, I’m not so sure about AJ being pregnant, although I think she wore that outfit during her trip to Haiti. I just don’t know anymore.

GO TO BOXOFFICEMOJO.COM AND YOU WILL SEE THE REALITY OF HOW MUCH AMERICA LOVES CHEATERS.

right Lucky Angie will just get bored and break up her family. BS.

bamzs 4-ever @ 11/12/2006 at 10:30 am

Thanks lylian for the insider scoop on Mumbai!

too bad.
wtf are you talking about. Ryan Phillipe maybe? yea he is a cheater.

Too Bad is DUMB @ 11/12/2006 at 10:31 am

Too Bad, you’re a moron.

Babel is an INDIE movie, you know like Maniston’s “Friends With Money”. And at the end of the day Brad’s indie movie will make more money than Maniston’s indie movie.

I love the way Babel is not about box office it’s about art and communication. Raise hands how many of you think Borat will get an Oscar nomination?

You must be Chin or one of her puppies!!!! This is not an indication of anything. If you call this an indication, then it is an indication that Americans are not open to new experiences and cultures and international understanding! Americans don’t like to get to know others except themselves and they don’t want to know that other people are just like them but just different because of language, traditions, etc. Can you or anyone out there prove that they cheated?

Good morning/afternoon/evening Lovelies,

I hope you’re all doing well. The family looks beautiful as usual and I don’t think Angie is pregnant..not yet. lol I had a lovely dream of KO so I woke up a happy camper this morning.

JJOY, I hope you liked the link to all my playlists on youtube most of which had TDS and TCR clips.

Brad Pitt’s Oscar-touted Babel from Paramount Vintage hung in Friday for #7 by expanding its theater count to 1,251: it took in $1.7 mil for what should be a $5 mil weekend and a new cume of $7.3 mil.

Babel has extended it’s limited run and is doing quite well. It is an art house movie with sub-titiles (technically a foreign film). It is doing good business at the Box office and will get Oscar Nominations. So hater take that and weep at the pictures of a happy family.

TOO BAD.

Thanks for the info, but there was no need to slam Ryan Philippe or K-Fed. After all, we are talking about Brad Pitt on this thread.

I checked Babel and it seems to be doing all right for such a seriously-themed, subtitled movie. I hope to be able to add to the total by this afternoon, or next week.

bamzs 4-ever @ 11/12/2006 at 10:39 am

Jared, can’t we have the option to get rid of someone’s post back, please?

Ryan Phillipe is a loser too, wait & see. I must say Brad actually has a little talent, while Phillipe has none. HAHHAHA Babel is not about the box office, what a joke! If it wasn’t about the box office, why would Brad fly to LA for the premier. Borat, an almost complete unknown has made more money in two weeks than Babel will ever make. And Friend’s with money was actually a really good movie. Why do you think Brangelina can’t stay in America too long? Because they cannot act like they own the country here. Of course they get a lot of attention, as they like it, but nobody here is stupid enough to rope off the country for them and we seem them for what they are. Their kids are cute though, take those away from them and what do you have? Not too much, that is why they need more & more, to divert attention from themselves. Poor Zaraha she can never even smile, wondering why she can’t just stay in a regular house with her own room to have some security. Poor Maddox is a a Gary Coleman in the making. Anyway enjoy your day living in fantasy world. TA TA

Don't Talk ABout Things You Do @ 11/12/2006 at 10:40 am

What a shame “Too Bad” doesn’t understand how these things work.

Try to comprehend that Babel is playing in LESS THEATERS and therefore has less opportunity to make as much money you IDIOT!

Babel is only playing in 1,251 theaters while every movie above it is playing in MORE. Not to mention that half the movie is in SUBTITLES and most americans won’t sit through a movie where they have to READ!

And with that i’m done with you, because it’s obvious you’re a troll with a very low brain capacity.

Good morning and evening to BAMZS people. :) I don’t want to greet those haters who doesn’t know who’s good (Angie and brad) and who’s not that beautiful…I mean good (X)….

Yehey!!! first hour in work and got a chance to see Jolie-Pitt’s family. Its cute how Maddox smile in picture#3, and how cute Angie carry Z that way (in picture#14), well anyways they all look good and beautiful together. :)

Thanks Jared and audrey for the wonderful pics….:)

bamzs 4-ever @ 11/12/2006 at 10:42 am

Good Sunday morning everyone! I was upset by some comments that I lost my happy mood of seeing BAMZ. Hope you all had fun at the party last night! Thank you to all the organizers! You guys did a great job!!

Too Bad your statement is just so STUPID. Too bad there is no other word that adequately describes it. What a pity if STUPID also best describes you but I’m quite charitable so I’ll refrain from calling you that. How did you ever learn to read. Oh wait, may be its just maths that you have a problem with. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FWM made

Domestic: $13,368,437 75.4%
+ Foreign: $4,364,945 24.6%
= Worldwide: $17,733,382

In Release: 133 days / 19 weeks

Compared with Babel:

Domestic: $3,562,000 50.3%
+ Foreign: $3,513,439 49.7%
= Worldwide: $7,075,439

In Release: 15 days / 2.1 weeks

Wide release opening is 10 November so this weekend’s box office has not come in yet.

too bad you have nothing better to do with your life than to spit hate. too bad your life is so miserable.

Borat, an almost complete unknown has made more money in two weeks than Babel will ever make.
__________________________________________________________________

It’s called the dumbing down of America, and that’s where you fit in

Hi JJ. Thank you for the pics

I can’t resist! Borat was only playing in 837 theaters last week and was number one! Over 26million. Much less theaters than 1251 theaters and much more money. HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHA. Boy you Brangelina fans sure get upset when presented with real facts. And no I am not a fat & ugly Maniston fan. I could care a less about her. I also have a very high brain capacity and can back up my movie comments with COLD HARD FACTS.

bamzs 4-ever @ 11/12/2006 at 10:45 am

too bad, you can attack the adults but don’t ever attack the children! Go away and never come back!!!

Oops, forgot the source: boxofficemojo.com

Too bad is Too jealous. TA, TA. Go find another Golden Couple to admire. You are running out of options. B and A are living their lives just fine. Zahara is doing just fine and she is running the show. Tell Poor Jen hi and hope she can live off the glory of “Friends with Money”. Peace.

Alexanderina @ 11/12/2006 at 10:51 am

Oh please just just ignore TOO BAD, she is a dumbass. Babel is much more than just making money at the box office, Babel is about real life,things that goes on in this world everyday, things that people need to know about and beware of, its about lack of communication, which there are a lot of that in our world today

I really love how one poster cannot take the truth and is BEGGING for Jared to remove posts that they don’t like. That is one reason that America is so wonderful, it’s call freedom of speech! And I am obviously not Dumbed Down because some of you have already gone to the website I showed you to get statistics. HAHHAHAH BABEL SUCKS! I bet if Brad realeased that 2 years ago it would be number 1. Also I am pretty sure the Good Shepard is going to tank too, Angelina lookes like a scarecrow in that movie in the trailers where she is crying! HAHHAHAHHAHAHA!

I can’t believe that this TOO BAD person is actually comparing Babel to Borat? Sheesh, Borat is a comedy that poked fun at everybody and you know how teen-agers (who go to the movies a lot) would love that. My 17-year-old and his friends went yesterday to see it. Babel is not and was not meant to be that way - it’s an indie film where Cate and Brad took pay cuts to do just because they loved the script and the director. And as for Brad going all the way to LA for the premiere, that wasn’t really for money, that was just to support the movie. Heck, if all he wanted to do was make movies that would be blockbusters, then all he would be doing would be Ocean’s 14, 15, ad infinitum, or M&MS part 2, 3 etc. But Brad has always been known to be adventurous with his movie choices (Fight Club, Seven, Seven Years in Tibet) and blockbusters are not his primary goal.

People, Babel is a very good movie. Last night I posted and was scolded by someone who said I had revealed too much. I disagree. I revealed next to nothing, and much, much less than any of the reviews. That said, anyone who thought Babel was going to be #1 at the box office this weekend was dreaming. This is not a commerical flim. Surely, no one thought it was going to beat out Borat, or Stranger Than Fiction. This is a thought provoking film, no potty humor, no silly sex jokes. The box office has nothing to do with Brad leaving his X. What it has to do with is Americans unwillingness to challenge themselves mental. To see something that will make them think, and wonder. So please don’t gloat. I don’t think anyone making this film thought it was going to beat out Boratl. Had it done that everyone around the world would have been in shock. Challenge yourself. See something intelligent for a change.

hahahahahahahahaha. Too Bad you can’t see the difference between a comedy/satire and a serious tear jerker arthouse movie. Like comparing chalk with cheese.

So now, let’s get back to comparing 2 movies which are comparable (your first foot in the mouth was the right foot). Friends with money and Babel are comparable serious movies dealing with comparably serious issues. FWM reviews were - ummmm mixed at best. Babel’s reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. So, if I were to take your argument to its logical conclusion - YOU WILL SEE THE REALITY OF HOW MUCH AMERICA LOVES FRAUDS.

Too bad you’re not worth talking to anymore.

for those comparing FWM and Babel, why not wait until Babel is out for 19 (nineteen) weeks and compare performances then. I’m sure Too Bad is willing to wait to prove he/she is right…

FWM stats closed at 19 weeks at boxofficemojo

Many thanks Jared for the new pics! You are awesome!
The family looks cute together.
As for the box office: this is an absolutely artistic, indie movie, and everybody knows this, except for the Xfans. This is a movie, where people in the theater cry in the end. We all know that nowadays many Americans don’t really like to think, and don’t like movies where they are forced to read (Babel has subtitles). It’s sad, but this is the case. Brad is in the movie for 20 minutes and Babel was not overhyped like any of the X’s movies.
Aniston’s movies really tanked because she was after box office, those were mainstream movies (except for FWM) and she appeared on every talk show and entertainment show, she promoted and promoted and promoted, but her movies were bombs, because those were bad, the critics hated them, the audience hated them and the critics always pointed out that the X was a bad actress. Public sympathy didn’t turn her into a good actress and a box office success, we all remember, don’t we?
Babel is a winner movie in Cannes, the critics love it, there is Oscar talk not only for Brad, but for the Mexian and the Japanese actress. And those people who are not afraid of emotions and thinking, love it too.

Oh, and Friends with money earned only 13 million in the US, and 4 million outside the US. So shut up you morons. Babel did earn a total of 7 million without this weekend, in limited release.

One thing I am really glad about is that JA is not in Borat. I won’t be surprised if she is going to ask to be in his next movie though.
Well Babel is still doing OK, for a movie which TooBad said nobody in the US would go see. As long as it does better than 1:25 in revenues, compared to “Friends with money”, BP is still OK.

For an indie film, Babel is doing well considering that it is showing in only 1,200 theaters, its average per theater is quite good. Russel Crowe’s movie is the one that is doing badly! The thing is, there is just too may competition this week, 3 strong movies from last week and 3-4 good movies opening this week, including that of will ferrel and Russel.

Babel will be showing for a long time, just like Brokeback Mountain, One million dollar Baby, and will do well again once it wins an award.

Of course, Borat is doing very well, but its a sign of times, people wants to laugh and forget their problems, so most people went to see Borat.

That Foreign $ amount is just for Four countries. It opened in other countries Nov 10 but those amounts have not been included yet.

BTW if Brad truly felt this movie needed to be a big box office success he would have actually done TV to promote it. Brad made Babel for the same reason Johnny Depp does The Libertin not for the money but for the respect.

I bet if Brad realeased that 2 years ago it would be number 1.
=======================================

Wow, you’re incredibly stupid.

Just like Snatch was #1? Just like Meet Joe Black was #1? Just like Seven Years in Tibet was #1?

And with that being said, LET’S IGNORE the rest of TOO BAD’s posts, it’s obvious she’s a FAT troll with an AGENDA. Let’s not play along. Ok?

Comparing Babel with Borat is like compare a David Lynch movie with Jackass. Plus there wasn’t a huge marketing campaing with Babel. This kind of “Oscar buzz small movies” usually pick up at the box office after oscar nominations. Finally since when Brad is Will Smith? Brad has never been know to have a huge sucess record with the box office. Besides MAMS, usually Brad movies don’t do that well in the box office, even Troy that had a HUGE marketing campaing was a “flop” in the us market according to a group of people, so your theory of “they don’t like Brad because is a cheater” doesn’t make sense.

Holding the kids or putting them on their shoulders is the best idea. Can you imagine allowing those kids to walk around in that type of crowd? Holding their hands isn’t enough. I would want my babies as close to me as possible. There is a lot of evil in this world and you can never be too careful.

The children look really cute. You know what, these kids seem like a breeze to be with. They just don’t appear to be bratty, throwing temper tantrums. They’re like no trouble at all to Brad and Angelina. Good parenting. Z’s little legs are fattening up a little. How cute!

Brad looks happier now than ever. Can anyone deny that? He really does. I think that he’s happier being back in the states too. Some mags have reported this, and just by his demeanor in photos, it seems true. I hope they decide to stay in America permanently.

Good Morning All,

Thank you JJ and Audrey… beautiful photos of a beautiful family.

perhaps Brad should do some feel good movie about boy meets girl, a bunch of convoluted humor thrown in, boy gets girl,the end. But he’s alittle too mature for that , of course X is just plain too old to be doing that but she doesn’t get it.

Enough of the hater. All that gushing got basketcase riled up. Babel is an excellent film, enough said. I like how Zahara’s hair look. AJ is doing a good job. I think of how Zahara went from this sickly, near death baby to this healthy, robust child. People may criticize their adopting these beautiful children but there is no doubt that they are well taken care of and love. BP was meant to be a Father. I hope that they are able to adopt and have many more.

Too bad the hater source is not that good… Start the pity party for the pity friends with (love) money!!!!

Morning 4C

People, it’s a beautiful Sunday, some of us are going to see Babel today so it’s still part of Babel Weekend for Brad. We have a bunch of beautiful photos of the family from Jared and Audrey.

So let’s just ignore all those trolls whose main goal in life is to annoy us and push our buttons. Let’s not allow them to do that. Let’s just go on in our merry way, loving BAMZS.

My Goodness Jared and Audrey you are spoling us. These are great pictures. Hello BAMZS fans isn’t great to wake up to these pics :-)

And just like Fight Club was not number one, and it was overlooked by the Americans when they released it. It was a flop, really. Now Fight Club is a classic. This just shows that Brad has good instinct, and he is a good actor. And unfortunately the majority of American audience is dumb. Sorry if i offended anyone. Brad’s movies are always doing much more internationally, even the movies made during the “golden age”. I don’t really know the explanation, but it’s true, that he is a real international star.

Doesn’t anyone notice that Angelina’s arms look like a skeleton?! She makes Nicole Richie look zaftig.

Brad’s movies generally make more money abroad. It has not opened at all in most places outside of the country. He’s an international star. It is to soon to assess what’s coming in on this movie. Total money worldwide is going to be fantastic. Stay tuned.

I would like somebody to answer this question for me. Wasn’t there pictures posted a few months ago trying to evoke pity for Angelina who supposedly looked like she was crying in her car because her mother is dying of cancer? So why is she in India to make a movie if her mother is dying or is she in remission for the 20th time again? She always conviently is dying when the press gets bad and it’s pity time for Angelina or miraculously goes into remission when Angelina has to go off somwhere. I would think my dying mother was more important that a movie. I would want to spend every last minute with my dying mother that I could.

And Brad is definately no Will Smith. Will Smith is a devoted MARRIED family man. He cared enough about his wife to actually marry her and then have children and did not get her pregnant while married to another woman. Will Smith outranks Brad in every area and I am sure especially in the crotch area.

Lylian, I forgot to say I am glad you mentioned that the ice cream is OK. I was told not to have any ice, ice cream, or any kind of liquid not bottled in any third world country. That’s why when I went to Egypt a few years ago, I wanted so badly to drink their sugarcane expressed juice but I didn’t dare until the last day of my visit. I was fine afterwards, that made me so pissed I didn’t drink it the whole time I was there.

Jared seriously I don’t know what to say man. You are unbelievable! Even with all this constant black outs of your blog you are still having the best site in cyberspace. You and Audrey are much appreciated and loved by BAMZS fans!

The pictures are just so naturally beautiful!! Nothing superficial.
Just a normal family taking a walk in the streets of Mumbai to see the suroundings.
I love them so much for trying so hard to live a “normal” life in everyway. Although it’s so hard to achieve such a thing when you are hounded in every step you take outside your house. But they are not letting all this stop them from living their lives as they chose to. It takes hard work and their are both hard workers.And Amgie is holding Brad’s back in pick #1 and 6!! CUTE!!

So let’s begin!Since AG did it once first I’m writing this for the haters also so they don’t have to post it. Yes I’m this charitable! I’m a BAMZs fan anyway LOL!

1. Why are they holding the kids?? Aren’t they old enough?? Why they just letting them walk so everyone can abduct them or loose them in the crowd?? I don’t get it??

2. Why is Brad holding Maddox and not Zee?? Why is Angie holding Zee and not Maddox?? Does Brad love more Maddox that Zee?? Does Angie love Zee more than Maddox??

3. Why they are hiding Shiloh?? Why they are letting her stay in the hotel sleeping?? Is it so hard for them to drag a 5 year old infant witch organism can be more easily effected than a toddler to diseases and .Why they just can’t just putt her through all this madness from such a young age??

4. Why they are taking the kids with them?? Where is the stability?? Can’t they just lock them in a stone cage and not see the sun again until they will become old enough?? Bad bad parents they are!!

5. OMG!! Angie is wearing black! (Are you hearing that Jen??) What an evil person she is!! And Zahara is wearing black too.Evil baby!!

6. Brad is walking behind Angie. Pussywiped!!

7. Oh no wait in some pics Angie is walking behind Brad. Weak woman!!

8. Oh look Angie has her hand behind Brad back. I don’t think she is just caressing his back. I’m sure she has a knife and she back stubbing him..

Pheewww! Ok I think that is all!! (wishful thinking) LOL! So haters please don’t step by. I’ve done all your work. Just say “Thank you”!!

BRB.I have to catch up on the other thread!

Here is a opinion of the Weekend warrior of how Babel would fare. It was posted before the movies are released.

Paramount Vantage will expand Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarittu’s Babel, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, nationwide into over 1,200 theatres on Friday. Despite the star power and the $1.5 million it has made in limited release, it’s likely to have a harder time when expanding so wide so quickly, because there will be many choices in those new regions into which it’s expanding, and it’s yet to get any of the expected awards that would help it do business

Lylian thank you so much for the info!!
OMG!! FWM made only 17 mill dollars playing in more than 1000 theaters for 133 weeks and Babel is still having a limited release and it has made 7 millions only in 15 days??And it’s in number 7 at the box office. And they call it unsuccesfull??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I can not believe that some people are this DUMP!!
Well with that logic in the upcoming week Babel will made 14 mill and in a couple of weeks it will pass 20 mill. Plus the earnings of this weekend have yet to arrive.

If America dosen’t love “cheaters” then you you simply can not understand a movie that can teach you some things about your life and about your self rather no matter who plays in it than siting on your sit watching a comedy that it will make you laugh only for a moment and eat a tone of pop corn and that’s it! That’s what your one brainsell can take.If people like you went out to see Babel it would be a shame for the movie.

Plus Brad will Be nominated for an OSCAR for his role moron!! Something your beloved idol will not see in her wildest dreams!! So go suck your thump now!

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

When you get your facts straight, and not from tabloid speculations, I will answer you.

People are in a hurry to judge Brad Pitt. They should stay tune and let the end justify the means.

I luv this family. I luv that Brad and Angelina are happy. I really luv that pics like this just make people like TOO BAD so mad. I LUV IT.

People really should read up on Stars before they throw them up in a silly post. Will Smith was married when he and Jada became friends. Will got a divorce and Jada was at least 3 months pregnant before they got married. I like Will and Jada but they are only people just like Brad and Angie. Everyone has faults. People are fans of B and A because they admire them because of their faults, their compassion and talent. AJ is a good person. No know has placed her on a pedestal. People can bring up her past and all that cheater nonsense all day long. However, it won’t stop people from admiring her.

I wonder, why people believe a word of tabloids. Angie’s mother is not dying. Angie never said so, and she is not the one playing pity parties. This is the territory of X. End of story.
Hey, think positive, did you include the Z never smiles comment in your list? Lol. Hmm, let’s see, what else is missing?
1. They are together only for the kids.
2. The kids are eating ice cream. This is dangerous, so they are bad parents.
3. They are out in public, so they are publicity whores.
4. Brad didn’t comb his hair. Sure sign, he is missing his golden X.
5. Angie smiles less in the pics than Brad. It’s obvious that she wants to get rid Brad, she will leave him, and Brad is going to have a breakdown, and crawl back to X on his knees.
Ok, this is my interpretation. I’m sure, I couldn’t cover every aspect, the haters will find something even more ridiculous to pick on.

It would have been to much craziness if Shiloh was with them, the paps would have gone crazy and I think that she is to young still, when she gets a little older I am sure she will be with them whenever they go out with M&Z, but for right now, I think they did right thing, by leaving her back at the hotel

It seems that since Brads been back, the roles have switch. Maddox has grown into a “big boy” and needs more daddy time whereas Zahara needs some mommy time after being a daddy’s girl for so long. It’s wonderful this couple adapts so instinctly and effortlessly. I love them

Is there something wrong with Zahara’s upper lip? I have noticed this in several pics over time…. Really not being hateful, I love all four of them, just concerned.
She also seems to be gaining weight and looking more healthy, little Z! Less like a starved, sick orphan and more like a healthy thriving tot. her mom is doing a great job :-)

Some people come late into the game. For many years, people have complained about the lack of box office winners being represented at the Oscars. Can it be that the movies that brought in big numbers typically suck? There is a definite divide between the crowd pleasers and the critically acclaimed pics, which would explain why comedies are consistently shut out from the Oscars. I definitely think that HW can produce quality, Oscar-caliber works that’ll appeal to the masses, but they have lost their grip on what people want to see.

I liked Babel; I liked Borat, too, and Sacha Baron Cohen should get mad props for committing to that role. Will he get recognized? Probably, but by everyone except the Oscars. Will BP get recognized? Again, probably. But any recognition he may get will be tainted by hidden agendas because HW as a town, are a bunch of *******, who cowtow to a faceless rabble who are fickle toward anything that isn’t familiar to them. Oscar is a prestige thing– members openly admit that they don’t take the process seriously-voting based on hearsay instead of actually seeing the movies. But I truly believe that feedback from the public, along with critics, can make things happen. Think about Frances McDormand from Fargo– it was a small independent film that came out in late winter/early spring. Critics and the public hammered that film into the voters’ head and the following year, Oscar went to McDormand. Sure, people like Joan Rivers scoffed at this because she saw McDormand’s place at the proceedings as an A-Lister who don A-List designers and jewels was shut out.

Motivation is a curious thing. We will see A-Listers showcasing their wears this time of year, like Cameron Diaz did last year for In Her Shoes, and as Robin Williams have been doing for the last few years. People know the conventions and we will be hammered to death by them. Personally, I’d love to see BP get it for this performance. If not, oh well, because BP has turned a corner in his career.

Yes, no matter how hard we try, the haters are still here.

Hi Everyone!!!

What a great way to start my Sunday, pictures of the family enjoying a day out.

Ignore the haters. I saw Babel the first weekend it opened in Los Angeles and it was a wonderful, thought provoking movie. It left me speechless.

I think if Brad cared about the box office results, he would have done countless interviews promoting the movie.

With that said, the people who will likely see Babel, will be a more mature intelligent crowd, unlike the fans who went out to see TBU. I was force to see TBU on a flight from Jamaica and it was so not funny. That movie totally sucked.

And thanks again Jared for a great site.

hey guys do u have some videos of these pics?

Original curious @ 11/12/2006 at 11:57 am

WOW! I go to bed early one night, and Jared explodes with Brad and Angie! Thank you JJ and Audrey.

Think Positive - you crack me up. I think you have all the complaints covered. But…seriously, isn’t it funny? You forgot one….Angie is buying ice cream from a street vendor!! Isn’t she more careful 1. about where her kids’ food comes from and 2. about their weight….ice cream bad! LOL

Lylian - Thank you for the “look” inside where they are. Is it near the real Taj Mahal? I do hope they visit there. India seems, more than most a country of such contrasts. I love the sign by the picture of Angie and Zahara “no horse and buggy”? It seems “quaint” to us, until you realize it’s real!

I agree, I don’t think Angie looks pregnant in these photos either. I’d KILL for such a flat stomach! I also think they are smarter about birth control….although mistakes DO happen. For now, I’m 25% for, and that only because of MMom.

Re Babel’s box office - I don’t expect it to do big business in the US. Americans don’t usually support sub-titled, “art” movies. I DO expect it to do well overseas. I think the subject matter is one that is not easy, it makes people think. If you look at the top box office in US, most, if not all the movies “entertain” but do not require brain power. Take from that what you will. Borat? Sorry, I wouldn’t touch it. I hate movies OR shows in general that make people look stupid. Anyway, Oscar isn’t based on box office. To even think for a minute that Babel isn’t doing “well” because of Brad is just stupid. If anything, HE’s bringing people in.

Thanks RG for the x17 heads up. I love that pic of AJ talking to the Indian lady. She is radiant. No wonder people say she looks better in the flesh.

1/ Thanks JJ for the splendid pictures… they’re simply pulchritudinous
2/ TOO BAD, seek your own humility and stop your vacuous rants
3/ Let kind words spread their wings… thanks for the lovely comments about this family

bunch of loonies @ 11/12/2006 at 12:03 pm

First, this is certainly not the sort of box office fare. Comeon now! Typically you have family movies and comedies doing very well, but not a subtitled, foreign, art movie. Also, i’m not too sure the oscar peeps would eat it up either because it might be seen as being very similar to crash and they already awarded crash last year. BUT that doesn’t take away from the fact that the movie was fantastic. Also, Brad is probably the reason why it’s doing as well as it has been.

You are super great Jared and Audrey!! Thanks from a very devoted BAMZS fan.
Sunday blessings to all.

OC, no they are not near the Taj Mahal. They are staying at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, which is on the West Coast of India, while the Taj Mahal is in Agra, in the northern part of India. Boy, I sound so knowledgeable about India, but I actually just learnt a few things about the country since B&A arrived there. :oops:

bunch of loonies @ 11/12/2006 at 12:08 pm

The fact that the American people would rather pay to watch Scary Movie 4 doesn’t mean that it’s a good movie. I’m sure Brad didn’t do the movie for the Box Office.

These are great new pictures to wake up to. I guess the filming is almost over. The kids look a little tired, but adorable. Zahara is looking really cute. Look at those chubby legs.

Thank you very much. I see not one but two threads….goodness, how will I catch up?

I Loooooove these pix. I can’t stop staring. Zee is definately going to be a looker. Just Look at BP….the man is in his element and It’s a beautiful sight to behold.

I can’t believe I missed the B Party. Oh well, I hope you had fun.

Hey PT…..will it be terribly uncouth of me to gloat? Ah for get it….here come it comes….I said NO for the Pregnancy Poll. Ha Ha!!!

Good morning fellow BAMZ fans! I just woke up, we watched Babel last night and it was really awesome. Lets ignore the haters, they always get AGITATED, BALLISTIC,and just downright CRAZY when they see the BAMZ family happy.

Holy $hit!
I was going through my old VHS tapes and came across the Japanese version of Shall We Dance? and I just realize that the actor who played Mr. Sugiyama was the father of the deaf-mute girl in Babel. His name is Koji Yakusho and if some of you haven’t seen his version of Shall We Dance?, I highly recommend it. It’s a love story, of sorts, mainly it’s about reconnection- with others and with oneself. I suspect that it has a depth that’s lacking in the J.Lo/Gere let’s get our dance on version.

Both kids are sleepy. They must have missed their nap time. I wonder how long they walked around?

Hello BAMZS Fans! Please ignore the asshats. The hate filled rants are indication that the Jolie-Pitts are doing something right. The more successful the family is the more upset the haters get. That’s just how it is. We’ve seen it happen for the past 2 years. And if Brad is nominated for an Oscar, expect the asshats to become so enraged that their pimpled filled faces will explode.

Regarding Babel, I too thought it would do better at the box office UNTIL I learned the movie is HEAVILY SUBTITLED. I love America but for the most part we don’t race out to see movies with subtitles unless said movie has a whole lot of butt-kicking action in it.

Babel is arthouse fare and will do better in the large cities than in small towns. It will do better in the blue states than it will in the red states. Paramount Vantage is hoping for Oscar recognition and I think they will get it.

Now lets enjoy the beautiful pictures of the Jolie=Pitt family minus 1. Thanks Jared and Audrey for the pix.

TOO BAD, Will & Jada have an open marriage. The only way they will divorce is if one is caught PUBLICLY with someone else there by making it almost mandatory that one files for divorce. It’s not because they really care but to save face with the public. Another thing, they have been moreso than any other couple out in the spotlight on red carpet events with their children. Will even has his son now in movies and he’s only 8 or 9. They are pushing for their children to be in the entertainment business like any other family business. I don’t see anyone saying they are pimping their kids for publicity.

Now….Good Sunday morning to all. Thaks to JJ & Audrey for these great photos.
Zahara is going to be really tall. She’s not even 2 years old yet. Maddox looks so content with Brad. I’m glad they seem to be enjoying Mumbai. Like someone posted, they will see incredible beauty and incredible misery all within a short distance from one another.. They are both world travelers now so they must have anticipated this.

Is Angelina pregnant? I’ve read several theories but you know what? My thoughts are if she is, fantastic. If she isn’t, that’s ok. But I’m not gonna wrack my brains about it. What for? But for some, the guessing game is fun.

I’m heading out for brunch at the pancake place (most of you know the name). Haven’t been there in almost a year, so I wont give their name. I don’t know if their standards went down or remained the same.

Everyone have a good day.

Hello BAMZS Fans! Please ignore the asshats. The hate filled rants are indication that the Jolie-Pitts are doing something right. The more successful the family is the more upset the haters get. That’s just how it is. We’ve seen it happen for the past 2 years. And if Brad is nominated for an Oscar, expect the asshats to become so enraged that their pimpled filled faces will explode.

Regarding Babel, I too thought it would do better at the box office UNTIL I learned the movie is HEAVILY SUBTITLED. I love America but for the most part we don’t race out to see movies with subtitles unless said movie has a whole lot of butt-kicking action in it.

Babel is arthouse fare and will do better in the large cities than in small towns. It will do better in the blue states than it will in the red states. Paramount Vantage is hoping for Oscar recognition and I think they will get it.

Now lets enjoy the beautiful pictures of the Jolie=Pitt family minus 1. Thanks Jared and Audrey for the pix.

Morning Maniston, ITA, great post and well said

I love this family! They are really busy, I give it to them for taking time for the family and yet work like crazy AND help others in India.

Thanks Angie and Brad for listening, her hair looks great! :) See y’all!

BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!

Morning Alex. *waves* What a great way to start a Sunday then to have new pix of my favorite celebrity family. Its pouring here in Beantown. How’s San Diego?

PamgelaTexas @ 11/12/2006 at 12:43 pm

Thank you JJ & Audrey for the fabulous photos today!! First thing I did today was to see if there were any new photos of my favorite family and voila!! there they were! You guys are the best.

B&A are not perfect because they are human but they are sooo perfect for each other. I love what they represent…beauty inside and out…love of family…kick ass movies…making a difference for others EVERYWHERE they go…their fame is a small price to pay for the great tool it gives them to spotlight the ills of the world that wouldn’t get much attention…it is so beautiful it gives me chills.

Angie was already bringing the spotlight to refugees, adoption, etc. but with Brad the spotlight has been magnified one hundred fold because of the power of 2 insanely popular people. I love it. This is the best thing that has happened in the world that celebrities bring attention to causes they love and others follow suit.

I pray for the best for Mr. & Mrs. Hotness, that they will continue to make movies, make a difference, and keep growing their family….I am waiting on pins and needles to hear the confirmations of Mrs. Hotness’ pregnancy….it just seems like the signs are there..but will one thing is for sure…time will tell!!

I love all the posts of my fav posters the BAMZS supporters…you guys rock.

To All bamzs fans, dont expect BABEL to be assuccesful as other movies. This movie is an ARTISTIC type of movie and will only attract certain people. In other words it is not made with the intent to be a blocbuster. Those movies are made to be on a much smaller scale such as Running with Scissors, the Departed, Crash although I am convinced it will make its money and then some. This movie is only well known and received all this press attention because of BRAD PITT,that is why these types of movies get nominated for OSCARS. So lets just prepare for the Ocars because Brad Pitt will be nominated for best supporting actor.

I’m sorry….I musta missed it when critics wrote countless articles about an Oscar Buzz for Friends with Money? Dear me and I thought the Oscars were the measure of how GOOD a movie is.

Comapring Babel to Borat is the craziest thing to do. We’ve got a movie about a man drinking from the toilet and the other movie is so complex, it’s hard to summarize it in one setence. ‘Nuff said.

Your jubilation over the fact that Babel isn’t doing so well, is a testament to your own stupidity. So carry on….revel in your idiocy and when you’re done, go see Borat again.

Let’s just trying to keep this thread going with well wishes for this family.

bunch of loonies @ 11/12/2006 at 1:01 pm

When I went to see Babel, people at the theatres loved it and this is a place with one theatre in the downtown core. The line up was humongous to go see it and it was packed and they were clapping and cheering at the end. That to me is the measure of how well people love it. It’s also the sort of movie one can really be proud of. I think for anyone, as long as one can say I am proud I was a part of that, that is enough by itself; no matter how well it does at the theatres. Also, it’s the sort of movie you can enjoy just on the face of it, but it’s also something one can explore and find deeper meaning to. There is value in that. I hope at the very least Brad gets recognized at the Oscars, and I hope Angie is there on the red carpet with him. That would be absolutely sublime.

Friends with Money…OH GOD

that was a shiteous movie. It was horrible and I’m not even saying that because I dislike aniston because I don’t need to. A friend who was watching it with me actually really likes aniston and she hated it as well. it was a horrible portrayal of women and made women all to be pathetic losers. the ending was an absolute disaster. a woman who lets a men and people generally run all over her has a “happy ending” because the poor loser she thought was pathetic, but whom she went out with because she herself thought she was too pathetic to be with anyone else just happens to be filthy rich..so yeay for the pathetic woman. stupid movie.

Yes, Koji Yakusho (in Babel) was in the original Japanese version of “Shall we Dance?” which was a big hit. Geer looks as if he can already dance before the movie starts, but Yakusho looked at first as if he had two left legs, ending up dancing like a pro at the end which made a huge difference I think. I don’t know much about JLo but she tends to take up the screen like all those singer-trying-acting actresses, not truly interacting with other actors…

The only thing worse was when I had to watch “Just my Luck” with Lohan. Now that was literally painful to watch.

Yes, it really stupid but if not “where is Shiloh” then “why parade a baby out in the dust”. Resentful haters look for something to hate, that’s all.

it’s a credit to everyone involved in this movie that it’s the first movie on this list that isn’t a comedy or horror movie, subtitles and all, specially when the movie was expected to be an art house movie.

Russell Crowe seems to be in a slump. I remember when Gladiator came out. That was a good movie. However, lately he cannot buy a hit. The Goodyear was in twice the number of theaters as Babel. However, Babel did better. I guess throwing a telephone at a front desk employee is not a good career move. Just kidding, All the Russell Crowe fans.

i love this family they are the best. hello fellow bamzs fans.

Good Day to you all -

Original Curious – Wow you beat me to it. I was going to say something like that but you said it better. We are a nation of idiots that are comprised of both racists’ and sexists’ idiots too. Some would rather support a racist politically incorrect movie that had sexists and racists and ethnic overtones like Borat than one that requires thinking and evaluation of self and the world in which we live. Now forgive me as I have not seen the movie but I did watch his stupid HBO show and it was unbelievably stupid.

Oh, well. Regardless of what others say, BABEL was great. I am proud of Brad and the cast and Alejandro-Gonzalez-Inarritu. I am actually happy that it made the top 10 – I wasn’t expecting much support not because of the gossip but because of the content matter.

Zahara is going to be taller than her brother, lol. My 2 yrs old son is tiny compare to Z..and she’s not even two yet. Angie looks like she’s gaining some weight. She looks beautiful. So now you all think she’s not pregnant? Oh, well I kinda whish she was!

OH, I forgot to say thanks to Audrey and Jared for the new pictures.
*************

Lula29, you have said it best on the other thread. I love that they do things as a couple and things as a family. There is balance between Mom/Dad and husband/wife (lovers). Also, it seems to me they have so much in common and like to generally spend time with each other. After being with each other all day (on the set, with the kids) they still want to hang out and go to dinner. Very normal, very sweet. I really hope and believe that this one will work.

I bet Brad teases Mickey about wearing pink. Pink is such a cool, soft color but don’t let it fool ya. Perhaps he wears it for Z as she likes the color pink too. AWWWWEEEEE – I’m just sayin….. 

Babel Info @ 11/12/2006 at 1:37 pm

Sorry, weekend dates are nov 10 - 12 instead of Nov 10-11.

According to IMDB, Babel opened in the following foreign markets last Friday (Nov. 10): Mexico, Turkey, Poland, Latvia.

It is currently playing in Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands and Greece.

I am excited to know how it fared in Mexico, which is Inarritu’s homeland.

Babel is No 5 not no 6 , Saw 3 is no 6 according to new update at Bofo mojo. Not bad, considering it has less than half the number of theaters when compared to the other movies.
I think the movie will be up for a long haul, and most of those people who have seen the funny and less serious movies will turn their attention to Babel the coming weeks. Based on the results of 3 foreign markets, its also doing well.

bunch of loonies @ 11/12/2006 at 1:38 pm

I adore Mickey! Go Mickey! I love it when he wears pink.

Good year opened this weekend too, in more than 2000 theatres and could gain only 3,7 million. With Russell Crowe as the hero and Ridley Scott as the director.
Now this is a true flop. I don’t really understand, is it such a bad movie?
Babel did well as an art movie.

Hi BAMZS fans,
Just wanted to say that I am happy at the progress Babel has made and I’m more than happy that Brad is most certainly going to rake in award nominations for his performance and hopefully winning. The fact that Brad and Angie are still together will ALWAYS bring the haters out and they will always say negative things about them. They think that since Babel wasn’t #1 at the box office that now no one will hire Brad and Angie for films. They will be filled with so much bitterness when they see them getting more work each time. Brad is busy enjoying himself with his family and the more the haters see this, the angrier they’ll become. They are so busy filling themselves with hate while BA are enjoying their time together.

bunch of loonies @ 11/12/2006 at 1:55 pm

Damn I was too busy looking at the children, but boy does Brad look gorgeous. I could eat him up, one lick at a time.

This family is just beautiful. Look at Zee she is getting to be such a big girl. I bet Brad sometimes look at his family and get so elated at the fact that he helped to create this family.

—-OMG…my damn friend who adores aniston keeps making me watch Jen movies. She hated this one too. It was literally watching two people fight throughout the movie. I can’t even stand it when I watch two people I know do it, let alone two strangers. You would think, at least make it funny or interesting like War of the Roses, but WOFR it ain’t. This was the kicker for me. She goes all out and does all of these tremendously stupid things for him and then buys him tickets. He didn’t show up, she loves him and so she gets upset. Then BAM the next day when he shows her he still loves her, it’s her turn to say….oh too bad so sad, I think I have moved on. WTF?! Just the night before she was weeping over him and now nothing? Also, another really awkward part was when she actually stoops so low as to walk around naked to try to entice him (what self-respecting woman would do that?) and yet he still doesn’t bite. Very unnecessary bit of nudity and very awkwardly done.

Great pictures Jared you are the greates… Thank you…. :)

Mad and Z are super cute, aren’t they?

Hey Estelle - I’m down to 25% now!

These wonderful candid pictures of Brad and Angie with their children Mad and Z taking the historical sights of Mumbia further attest the mighty reason why Brad had to fly back from LA to be with his beautiful family ASAP. Some people will always put them down just because they can’t accept the truth that Brad and Angie are having the greatest time in their life together as equal partners in love and parenting. Both have their own past to conquer and through all the media backlash, they are making it work. There are no guarantees in life but I strongly believe that Brad and Angie will do their best to make it last.
As for the box-office returns of Babel, in time the fruits of Alejandro’s masterpiece will yield box-office and Oscar gold.

African Girl Hey AG I keep on promising the same, but I am getting better. I have deleted at least 10 long messages to the “crazies” before I posted them. So, there is hope for us afterall… AG, I am doing the same trying to read the posts on JJ and catching up with my eamil. BRB…

Renee,

I think they really geniunely like each other which is something I noticed in the MAMS outtakes. For that reason I think they’ll be just fine. It’s very inspiring to see.

Why all the hate. Brad Pitt isn’t the only one in Babel, so the film isn’t going to pass or fail solely on his merit. This is Iñarritu’s vision, why not go see the film and base your judgment on your opinion of that vision and not wish for it to fail because you hate cheaters.

The arthouse film asessment is correct though I think. The movie has subtitles, a lot of people will shy away for that reason, that and the subject matter is really heady. But I still think the movie is going to do very well and hope Pitt gets an Oscar nod. It’s long deserved.

Borat, I’m going to see that too. Isn’t really a criticism of American values thinly veiled as a comedy? I haven’t seen it yet, but that’s what I get from the previews.

bunch of loonies @ 11/12/2006 at 3:01 pm

Got this from Perez:

“”I think religion has always tried to turn hatred towards gay people. Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays. But there are so many Christian people I know who are gay and love their religion. From my point of view I would ban religion completely, even though there are some wonderful things about it. I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn’t seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it’s not really compassionate. The world is near escalating to World War Three and where are the leaders of each religion? Why aren’t they having a conclave; why aren’t they coming together? I said this after 9/11 and people thought I was nuts: instead of more violence why isn’t there a [meeting of religious leaders]. It’s all got to be dialogue - that’s the only way. Get everybody from each religion together and say ‘Listen, this can’t go on. Why do we have all this hatred?’ We are all God’s people; we have to get along and the [religious leaders] have to lead the way. If they don’t do it, who else is going to do it? They’re not going to do it and it’s left to musicians or to someone else to deal with it. It’s like the peace movement in the Sixties - musicians got through [to people] by getting out there and doing peace concerts but we don’t seem to do them any more. We seem to be doing fundraisers for Africa and everything like that but I think peace is really important. If John Lennon were alive today he’d be leading it with a vengeance.”

- Elton John tells the Observer Music Monthly in this amazing new interview with Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters”

—–What do y’all think about that? When I went to see Babel I saw a documentary trailer that I would love to see called “Deliver Us from Evil” about the church and the priest who abuse children and how this one priest actually admited to getting off on children.

It is too bad and unfortunate to unitentionally read bias and negative posts such as too bad on a beautiful Sunday. Let us just put it in perspective that there are really miserable people in this world and that we BAMZters can count on our blessings with our lovely lives and families and as inspiration our admiration to Brad and Angie’s beautiful family.

The Rs 500 icecream!

With no shooting scheduled for Sunday, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided to take a post-lunch stroll with the kids at the Gateway of India, bang opposite their hotel, the Taj Palace and Towers.

While Angelina had Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt in her arms, Brad hoisted Maddox on his shoulders as they took in the sights. On an impulse, Angelina decided to buy some icecream but the street-side ware didn’t pass muster with Brad (seen inspecting the cone with Zahara) and was promptly handed back after the first lick — along with a crisp Rs 500 note. “Keep the change,” smiled Angelina to the stunned vendor as the family tripped back to the hotel. Cool!

Oh, the power of love! I never thought, in a million years, that BP would get a tattoo. But he did, and not one, but 2 (that we know of). As for AJ, nobody thought she would have a baby, but she did.
I am glad to see Babel doing so well at the box office. Now we need a celebration party.

MUMBAI: Mumbaikar’s may be used to rubbing shoulders with actors, but when Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stepped out of their hotel room to enjoy the afternoon sun at the Gateway of India on Sunday with their adopted children Zahara and Maddox, they were followed by a crowd that couldn’t stop staring at them.

Jolie and Pitt, who landed in Mumbai on Saturday, are putting up at Hotel Taj, which turned into a fortress with both cops and hotel staff guarding the place. The couple stepped out of their hotel at around 2.15 pm and spent around 20 minutes walking on the footpath along the Gateway of India.

What caught the fancy of the onlookers was Pitt carrying Maddox on his shoulders while Zahara rested comfortably in Angelina’s arms. She too, did manage to perch on to Jolie’s shoulder for a while. Both mother and daughter wore colour coordinated black outfits.

They stopped to check out postcards being pedalled by a street urchin, who explained the photographs to them in broken English. They, however, didn’t buy any as the crowds simply kept swelling.

Maddox and Zahara were more interested in looking at the crowd that followed them, only to be kept at a distance by their bodyguards. After a 20 minutes stroll, the couple were hurriedly taken inside the hotel.

The arrival of the Hollywood stars was of course the talking point of most people. Many families that had come to enjoy an afternoon at the Gateway, knew nothing about the presence of the stars but sensing the crowd, they too rushed to catch a glimpse.

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

Thanks again RG. I am relieved to know that he didn’t let Z have the ice cream. I love the dynamic between these two. He is like the brain, and she is the heart. They complement each other. She will be protected with him around, and his life will never be boring with her at his side.

I’ve never been to India, although it is on my list to visit, but I have travelled some outside of the US. One of my favorite memories is my visit to Thailand. I loved to walk alongside the street vendors and look at the utterly gorgeous and delicious looking food. However, I never dared to eat any of it. Call me chicken **** but I was afraid that my timid and cowardly American stomach would get sick. I remember one of the men on my tour was a bit braver than I. Clive was from Great Britain and he ate from one of the street vendors. Let me tell you I have never seen a human being turn green until I saw Clive. He looked like **** warmed over. Now you should understand that this did not happen immediately after eating whatever he ate from the vendor, but occurred a few hours later. We didn’t see the man for 2 days and when he finally emerged he looked only slightly better. Now there was another man on our tour from Australia. The guy didn’t get any of the recommended vaccinations before going to Thailand and he ate whatever he wanted and didn’t get sick at all. Its all the luck of the draw, I guess.

In Mumbai for the last leg of its shooting in India, the crew and its celebrity cast of A Mighty Heart — including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie — are absorbing the sights and sounds of the city.

And, apart from the Enfield bike that Brad Pitt is believed to have purchased from a dealer in Pune, he and partner Angelina Jolie are sure to take back pleasant memories from Mumbai too.

Besides shopping for footwear and children’s products, Brangelina, as they are popularly called, attended a cast and crew party at Colaba’s Indigo on Saturday night.

Sources in their crew, who did not wish to be named as they are not authorised to speak to the media, said the couple was thoroughly enjoying their stay at the hotel, especially the sea view from their suite.

They are also excited about staying at the Taj Mahal Hotel’s Rajput suite, which was once inhabited by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

They added that stories about Brangelina’s plans to adopt an Indian baby are “totally baseless” as are reports of “Y-category security due to threats from Al-Qaeda.”

Before returning to the US this weekend, Jolie will wrap up shooting for the film, while Pitt is expected to make a trip to Rajasthan for shooting an ad film.

The film, A Mighty Heart, is based on the book by Marianne Pearl documenting the life of her husband, slain journalist Daniel Pearl. Among the shooting locations listed are The Gateway of India, McDonalds, Colaba, the Taj Mahal Hotel, Elphinstone College and other South Mumbai locations.

When asked to confirm the same, Indian line producer Aarti Surendranath said, “We are hoping to shoot Mumbai as it is, with its everyday energy. To portray that we need to be careful not to reveal our shooting locations.”

The production’s offices are set up close in the Palkhi restaurant building, owned by Kishan Mulchandani.

The film, that is co-produced by Pitt’s company Plan B, will be directed by Michael Winterbottom and also stars Daniel Futterman, Archie Punjabi and Irrfan Khan.

aahhh Zee looks so sad that she can’t have the icecream.lol

Angelina is a winner: Brad, healthy beautiful kids, professional success, world-wide respect. Of course loosers cannot stand her (and we see so many hiding in the internet): she is a constant reminder of their inadequacies and incapacity to enjoy a full life.

So whenever B&A family pictures appear loosers go crazy, happiness makes them insane. That’s why I almost never answer their rantings, they are a sad subproduct, inevitable in their drabness.

Last year’s Oscar nominees for best picture, for your consideration:

+++++++++

It’s too bad that what Too Bad doesn’t understand is that movies like Borat - a comedy that appeals to a large number of people - are made with the hopes that they’ll do huge numbers at the box office. That success in turn allows th e studios to make SERIOUS MOVIES ABOUT SERIOUS SUBJECT, such as Babel. None of the movies nominated for Best Picture last year cracked the $100MIL mark. If you look back at the history of the Best Picture nominees - they’re usually NOT mass-market movies. Occasionally you’ll get a film like “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” that is a huge success at the box office despite being a foreign film with subtitles. But that happens once every 10 or 15 years! Meanwhile, the Borats get made in plentitude with the hopes that the commonality of base humor will appeal to a huge number of people and make a ton of money. Obviously Too Bad doesn’t understand the way movie-making works. It’s equally obvsious that Too Bad isn’t even TRYING to understand that. Actually, it’s pretty obvious that Too Bad is a stupid Faniston who had nothing to do this morning and decided to come on and torture BAMZS fans with idiot posts.

:lol: I want to taste that!

OMG — Jared RAWKS!! I am like a chicken with my head cut off looking at these pics — I don’t know where to look FIRST!! LOL!!

Gossippup, I am still on the pregnancy bandwagon with you. My first reaction to seeing AJ carrying Z, in that manner was that she was hiding another bump with Z. It’s what she did with Shiloh too. First of all, all ya’ll know damn well Z had a fit because she wanted Daddy to carry her, so my guess is that she’s riding Angie’s hip for a reason. Also, Angie has on that sheared pregnancy shirt, the one that gets all blousy at the bottom. Angie seems to have a high bump when she starts out enabling her to wear blousy sweaters or tee’s and hide it quite nicely — remember the Japan press conference? She had on skinny slacks and a black sweater that she had just bloused over a bit — and the public at large really didn’t suspect anything.

Btw, I love Z’s expressions, she gives such attitude…and her face reminds me of Angie’s so much — if you look at their profiles it’s because they have a wider, flatter face, tiny noses and then BOOYAH!! with the lips! LOL.

Babel did amazing well - the real proof is in the per theater average, where Babel kicked ass all over the place. Arthouse, subtitled flicks typically don’t do business even approaching this, prior to awards season. It’s usually only when a small indie film has picked up awards, as that article was saying, that the $ come pouring in…yet Bable is raking it in before. Those are amazing signs.

…and lastly, the AJ arms things — hate to break it to the haters, but those are the same arms she’s had all along, the same arms she had when people worldwide describe her as the most beautiful and desirable woman in the world, the same arms nabbed the sexiest woman in the world title, and most beautiful woman (and family) award in people, the same arms that have written of her UN travels, doled out medicine to the sick, shook hands with Kings & Queens and secretaries of state, and senators and congressmen, they’re the same arms that have embraced an Oscar, and 3 Golden Globes, the same arms that Jane Smith used to crack a dude’s neck in MAMS and conversely wrap around Brad two times in the Bogata dance scene - LOL, the same arms that cradle her babies, and embrace Brad Pitt every night……

NOTHING has changed.

It’s just that the hater’s are getting more hateful, and realize that this is a FAMILY for REAL, and that AJ has it ALL. So they’ve become obsessed with her being slender and thin (even though she’s been skinny FOREVER give or take 5-7 pounds at any given time, even when PREG) - THAT is what they REALLY hate. LOL Poor Okra outweighed Angie by about 75 pounds when Angie was 9 months preg? You know a ***** sees red over this kind of ****.

But it’s all kind of ridiculous, it’s like us, suddenly saying of Traniston…’OH MY GOD — her BIG ASS NOSE and her MANNISH CHIN, and her fug DUSTIN HOFFMAN-LIKE FACE!!’ Where in the world did that come from??? Eeeeeeeew! How gross that Brad woke up to that every day, or heh- every 6 months, when they were kinda together!’ I mean with BAMZSers it’s obvious that we are consistent and speak truth to power, we have always maintained Traniston was fug, it will the same yesterday, as it is today, as it will be tomorrow. Angie could gain some weight of course (and she will in her second trimester..heee! :-) — and that delicately slender look will be gone…but the fug will stay with the Man til the grave. That’s what they’re truly insane with rage at.

You haters are trying to come at us, at the 11th hour with the skinny thing and the arm thing, and sorry — but it’s just weak and desperate, it shows you’re just REACHING for anything you sad miserable haters. LOLOL

TOO BAD, Will & Jada have an open marriage. The only way they will divorce is if one is caught PUBLICLY with someone else there by making it almost mandatory that one files for divorce. It’s not because they really care but to save face with the public. Another thing, they have been moreso than any other couple out in the spotlight on red carpet events with their children. Will even has his son now in movies and he’s only 8 or 9. They are pushing for their children to be in the entertainment business like any other family business. I don’t see anyone saying they are pimping their kids for publicity.

MUMBAI, INDIA: US actors Angelina Jolie (L), daughter Zahara (2L), husband Brad Pitt (R), and son Maddox take a stroll on the seafront promenade in Mumbai, 12 November 2006.

Getty Images’s caption called Brad Angie’s “husband”? Bwwwhahhahaahaha!!!! I wonder if the caption came down off the foreign press release of the phots? I bet it did. ALL of the Indian news sources have been calling Brad her husband. Too funny. I think I just heard a couple of Faniston heads exploding. Fortunately there won’t be much of a mess to clean up because their heads are empty…just like their idol’s!

http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=209380

The family took a stroll outside the Taj Mahal Palace till the Gateway of India and stayed at the monument for about ten minutes, returning to the security of the hotel once the photographers started flashing away and a crowd gathered around them.

“Jolie and Pitt had plans to go out into the deep sea on a yacht arranged for by the Taj Hotel on Saturday evening, but later cancelled the plan and preferred to stay indoors. The only thing that Jolie ordered in the hotel all through Saturday was a pizza,” revealed a source inside the hotel.

The pair also spent a good part of Saturday evening dining at Indigo in Colaba and came out of the restaurant as late as 2 am on Sunday morning.

There is also some talk of the restaurant being used as a shooting location for the film The Mighty Heart, based on slain journalist Daniel Pearl’s life, in which Jolie plays the role of Pearl’s wife.

“Good Sunday morning everyone! I was upset by some comments that I lost my happy mood of seeing BAMZ.”

don’t let these posters like “too bad” affect your mood or day. I recall telling Cindy 2 many months ago that these posters purposely instigate reactions and create bad feelings because it’s all about “control”. Cindy 2 kept saying she had to repeat facts because they didn’t understand…they don’t want to understand. When he/she can break up “positive” spirit(s) or create negativity amongst a “happy” setting, they have succeeded in what was set out to be accomplished…they are referred to as “Party Crashers”…don’t forget they are not affected by your comments to explain or be reasonable …they get their kicks out of stirring up other peoples emotions…the greatest form of infantile control. My recommendation is if you notice a trend in a nasty poster, don’t read it, don’t respond…stop yourself because once you are drawn in by them or even think twice about their comments…they’ve won and controlled you. You are the only one who can control your own responses and the best response is no response…eventually they will lose interest because like children, they will get bored and go elsewhere for their fun. And as I’ve said before most new posters don’t realize how close a family this particular BAMZS forum is and some don’t understand it and the first response would be to criticize it because they are automatically an outsider…remember their thoughts are just their thoughts whether or not it’s substantiated or not…many don’t want to be substantiated because that doesn’t fit into their agenda.

Gee…why is it that BAMZS fans have to prove something is true about other celebs when other’s don’t have to prove something is true about Brad or Angie? People come here talking smack all the time without one iota of evidence, but we’re not allowed to do the same?

Having said that - if you want evidence, then I suggest you go find it for yourself. It’s actually fairly common knowledge in HW. And no, I don’t live in HW. I live in Missouri. And if I can find that info on the web, then so can you. Happy hunting…you might want to start with Defamer, Perez Hilton and Dlisted. Check their archives…they’ve ALL done stories on it in the past…BTW, in case you didn’t know this…the Smiths are good friends with Tom Cruise. I ain’t saying Tom and Will are an item…I’m just saying…Tom Cruise ain’t got any friends outside of Scientology other than the Smiths!

I was being facetioius, but actually…now that I think about that…Tom Cruise DOESN’T have any friends. LOL! Anybody ever seen him with anyone he’s not supposedly dating/married to or working with?

“The Departed” has already made 110 million, 20 mil above its budget-in 6 weeks.
It is too early to predict “Babel” yet, in spite of its good take. I think that it will continue doing well-without the “first weekend fanfare”.
All that matters is a) it’s quality movie and b) it makes its money-whether the first weekend or the 10nth is irrelevant.

Got this from Perez:

- Elton John tells the Observer Music Monthly in this amazing new interview with Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters”

—–What do y’all think about that? When I went to see Babel I saw a documentary trailer that I would love to see called “Deliver Us from Evil” about the church and the priest who abuse children and how this one priest actually admited to getting off on children.

+++++++++++

Loonies - I saw Elton’s quote earlier. I have to say I agree with a lot of what he says. Quite a bit of what’s going on in the world goes back to religious differences. It’s becoming more and more clear that diplomatic leaders aren’t able to make a dent in a lot of things because they don’t understand the underlying religious factors. I do think religious leaders need to make more of an effort to get together and talk about what can be done to moderate the actions of their believers.

Having said that…who are those leaders going to be? Let he amongst you without sin cast the first stone. It’s turning out that a LOT of the world’s religious leaders are hypocrite - as can be borne out by the recent Haggard fiasco and all the Catholic priests who are pedophiles. Plus there’s a pope who’s already pissed off quite a bit of the Muslim world and there aren’t many Muslim clerical leaders who want to have anything to do with Jewish religious leaders. Getting the religious leaders to agree to get together is probably going to be the hardest part of the process!

Seems I remember interviews with the Smiths where they admit their marriage is a bit “different” but I cant remember cause I dont pay attention that much to them. And even so…Ive heard the rumors.

Hello fellow BAMZERS! I just love this family. I must confess I just came from another site and lost my cool when the haters bombarded them with hate and negative crap. Well, they got tongue lashing from me. I used a different name of course but nobody messes with my beloved BAMZ.

google is a wonderful tool

Quotes on Love and Marriage:
Jada: “I will throw my career away before I let it break up our marriage. I made it clear to Will. I’d throw it away completely.”
Source: USA Weekend

Will: “Families are like a business. The key is one person having a vision of what it needs to be and being able to pull everyone together. That’s Jada for sure.”
Source: USA Weekend

Will on Open Marriage: Although Will Smith has said he would never cheat on his wife without first asking permission, he has been quoted as saying, “In our marriage vows, we didn’t say ‘forsaking all others.’ The vow that we made was that you will never hear that I did something after the fact…If it came down to it, then one spouse can say to the other, ‘Look, I need to have sex with somebody. I’m not going to if you don’t approve of it - but please approve of it.’”

btw.. I like Will and Jada ok… im not a big fan certainly but I am a fan of their charitable foundation. They are to be commended for their charity work.

- Elton John tells the Observer Music Monthly in this amazing new interview with Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters”

—–What do y’all think about that?
*****************************
I kind of agree with Elton but I personally believe that it’s certain individuals that distort religions opposed to religion itself. A lot of is open to interpretation that ends being skewed by people the Dobsons of the world. And I also agree with PT about the religious leaders of the world coming together…it’s not impossible but it’s hard to imagine.

My friend Mikey, who happens to gay, we were talking about our beliefs and morals. He was surprised to find out what mine were and he told me that if I didn’t support gay marriage and the LGBT community then most devout Christians would embrace me…although I’m more of an agnostic. :) I remember back in 2003 Bill Maher (please let’s not get into an fight over him) he said that gay marriage wouldn’t even be an issue if religion didn’t exist….and I don’t know, I can’t remember the last time I saw a gang of atheists and agnostics protesting against it. I know that there are plenty of people from all religions that are not against gay marriage but the media doesn’t really concentrate on them but they do exist. Julie Stoffer from MTV’s real world is Mormon and she is for it. Hell, even the blond twit from View is and she’s Christian. lol

As much as I love to see the photos - they look so unhappy - the swarm of people and photogs must really be upsetting - they can’t even enjoy a little sight seeing - they are virtual prisoners - one article said they had to turn back after 20 mins and go inside - very sad. Very remenicient of Elvis - he couldn’t go anywhere.

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

Are you smoking crack again? What is it with you and all your half-assed backhanded compliments? EVERY time you come on here it’s the same crap. “I’m glad to see the photos…BUT…don’t they look shorter than usual? I think they’ve shrunk…Maybe they’ve been lying about their height all along!…Don’t they seem mad at each other? I think they’re mad at each other….Why do they always take Mad out in public but not Zee?” etc, etc, etc.

THEY DON’T LOOK UNHAPPY! Sheesh. Are they supposed to go around with ear-to-ear grins all the time to show people how happy they are? YOu can see them smiling at people around them in several of the photos. Isn’t that a sign that they’re not “unhappy”? If they didn’t want to speak to these people they would be frowning…but they ain’t, so that must mean they’re not unhappy. They look like a couple taking a stroll with their kids. That’s all. Quit reading things into the photos that aren’t there. Better still, go to some of the other sites with photos and look at the ones that Jared didn’t put up. You can clearly see that they’are in a good mood…even if they aren’t grinning like banshees at everyone around them.

BTW ladies - I’m starting to think Lurpac and Shitzygal are in cahoots. One of them comes on with half-assed compliments and the other one with split personalities!

Hey I just wanna say that this site’s great and I love how you always put Brangelina’s updates here!

______________________________

You said what I wanted to say but.. you said it (as usual) so much better.

I’m sorry but that quote from Will is ridiculous. Unless he’s stranded on a deserted isle w/ another woman and doesn’t know when he’s gonna get off (pardon the pun), or fighting on foreign soil and thus needs ‘release’ with some local ho’ selling it - odds are if he wants to f**k another woman, there’s more than just a physical attraction going on - there’s some kind of emotional attraction/bond….and one boink just ain’t gonna do the trick. So that’s bullshit. After all if it was JUST physical and there were no extinuating circumstances (see above wartime, etc.) - then most people don’t ‘NEED to have sex with SOMEBODY,’ they can hold tight til’ they’re with the person they’re in love with. Will might call that honesty - but it’s bullshit.

Case in point. Brad. He told Maniston about his FEELINGS for Angelina, his attraction to her - and I’m sure he didn’t couch it like Will, ‘Hey Jen, I’m getting a real boner for this girl and I HAVE to have her.’

Brad told her, because he was an honest person who knew his attraction, and his feelings were real, and represented the emotional as well as physical - if it was just physical and he ‘needed to have sex’ he would still be with Maniston now…

Brad was falling and or had fallen in love, and wanted Maniston to wake the f**k up that they were over — and his admission to her, was not only an example of his honesty, but of the clear basic fact that if he could FEEL this way about someone else, then what they had had either died on the vine, or as I have often said it was shaky to begin with, and it was time to call it a day.

…and Passing Through, you win the funniest post of the day award babe, w/ your response to that hater harping on angie’s arms! LOL

“Bones: Angie’s arms, your head”

Hold up. There aint a damn thing to suggest I’m not a fan of Brad, Angie and the boo’s. Aint nothing in my question that should be even suspect.

+++++++++++

SLITPWG - I wasn’t saying that you weren’t a fan of BAMZS. I was just saying that people come here saying stuff all the time about B/A without proof, so why aren’t we allowed to do the same? That’s why it’s called “gossip”. Just because you hadn’t heard about it doesn’t mean others haven’t. We’ve talked about it here several times in the past as well.

As for proof about the Smiths - I gave you the sources to get you started on the research. Defamer, Dlisted & Perez all have stories about them, as doe a lot of other gossip blogs. Someone else mentioned that one of Jada’s lovers came forward either earlier this year or late last year. That’s plenty of info to start your search with. Another good source is Lainey’s page. She’s written about the rumors in the past as well. If you want definitive proof, then you’re probably going to have to strap a lie detector on Will and/or Jada because they’re the only ones who know for sure.

Surprisingly, the Meg Ryan affair didn’t tarnish his career, but the phone throwing and his hissy fit after an award show didn’t allow him to read his poem turned people off. It probably won’t last too long– I mean look at Sean Penn. In the 80s, he got into fights all the time, but eventually, his work overshadowed his off-camera behavior. And plus, romantic comedies haven’t been that great lately.

I don’t know why I’m defending Russell Crowe; I don’t think I’ve seen any of his movies.

McQueen Shades Net $70,000 at Auction

Nov 12, 2:56 PM (ET)

(AP) Actor Steve McQueen’s 1958 GMC 101-series pick up truck and a Wurlitzer juke box are part of…
Full Image

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Bidders looking for a piece of the “King of Cool” shelled out six figures for motorcycles and paid more than $70,000 for one pricey pair of shades in an auction of items that once belonged to actor Steve McQueen.

Cars, trucks, motorcycles and memorabilia from McQueen’s widow Barbara and other collectors were put up for sale by Bonhams and Butterfields at the Petersen Automotive Museum on Saturday. The entire auction brought in $2.9 million.

A 1937 Crocker “Hemi-head” V-Twin motorcycle brought in $276,500, the biggest price of the day and a world record for a Crocker motorcycle, said auction house spokesman Levi Morgan. A 1934 Indian Sport Scout went for $177,500, and a 1920 Indian Powerplus Daytona brought in $150,000.

One anonymous bidder paid $70,200 for Persol sunglasses McQueen is believed to have worn as he played a dapper thief in the opening scenes of 1968’s “The Thomas Crown Affair.” A Rolls Royce Silver Shadow from the same movie brought in exactly the same price.

The winning bidders included private collectors in France, Great Britain and the United States, and the Petersen museum itself bought several items, Morgan said.

McQueen, who died in 1980 at age 50, was known nearly as much for his love of vehicles as for his acting. His most famous movie moments include a mad motorcycle dash in “The Great Escape,” and a car chase through the streets of San Francisco in “Bullitt.”

I don’t understand why people who don’t like BAMZS just don’t stay away? All they end up doing is making asses of themselves and making other posters roll their eyes. Anway, BABEL is getting good reviews, and once it opens more widely, it’ll start picking up lots of cash.

Brad and Mad are so cute together; I bet Mad had fun being so high up. It made me melt, watching him doze off like that; there has to be a lot of love and trust between those two.

And Z! She’s so big already!! I had no idea she was going to be this big at almost 2. She is gonna be bigger than Mad!

Also, before anyone starts using the fact that Angie’s carrying Z as a sign she might be pregnant, remember: Mad is getting to be bigger, and while she might have been able to carry him for long distances before, it might be a little tough now, and since they were in a big crowd, Brad probably thought it was safer to lift him onto his shoulders. And Mad might haved wanted to ride up there; he’s little, and even if Brad or Angie carried him, all he’d probably see was people’s backs and heads and stuff. Angie also put Z onto her shoulders too for awhile, so she isn’t trying to hide anything, I don’t think.

PUNE: 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.

Zahara obviously didn’t like the icecream so he gave it a close look and agreed with her. They said he takes the security issue and plans it himself but looks like it’s everything is carefully inspected too. He is the food inspector as well. I love this family so much!!!

THIS IS WHAT WENT DOWN THAT DAY….

They all go out on a stroll after lunch…Maddox gets really tired and bored and falls asleep, Angie gets all concerned and buys some ice cream so he would eat instead of sleep…Angie gets the ice cream and looks at how little there is in the cone and gets all pissed off…Zahara gets even more pissed off cuz Angie doesn’t buy her any..Brad stays all happy cuz he’s cool…and then they hop on a van and mess around

QQQQ:
WHAT IS THIS “OCEAN SCREAMING?”

THE ICE CREAM

I can’t figure out if lil’ Z has that sad look on her face because she didn’t get any of the ice cream because the ‘ice cream inspector’ nixed it - LOLOL, or if she herself didn’t like the way it tasted, and was all, ugh - take this away. She looks like a little girl who is pouting because she’s not getting what she wants so I say Braddy daddy nixed the cone before she could wrap her little hands around it. Soooooo cute.

That happened to me once…I was in Cairo and they were frying fish on the street. It smelled so good. All dipped in corn meal and fried just like Mama makes — swear to jeebus, I felt like I was back home in **** when I saw and smelled it - they gave me a paper plate full, some napkins and a pita with it. Grrrrrrrrrls. I ate it - was just greasin’ right - it was TASTAAAAY….about 3 hours later I wanted to die. Seriously. I started thinking about how they were gonna ship my body back home….it was nausea from the depths of hell and projectile vomiting. I was like please don’t let my ass die in Egypt. I look back on it now and laugh. But at the time, I was crying and scared as hell.

I say all this to shore up what others have already said.

Do not eat street food.

LOL

Thank you for posting the article from Perez about what Elton John said. A LOT of really good points. WHERE are the churches in all the mess the world is in? They should ALL be ashamed of themselves. The most “Christian” man I can think of at the moment is Jimmy Carter. He doesn’t “preach” at people or tell them how to live their lives…he just goes and makes their lives better. He may not have been a good President, but he sure is one hell of a man.

As to “gay marriage”….why ever not? Call it domestic partnership if you prefer, but why shouldn’t ANY couple have the same rights and benefits (especially insurance, hospital visitation etc) as the rest of us? I have a friend who refuses to get married. She’s been with her partner (male) for years and years. In some states, they are considered married due to the number of years they’ve been together. Why not gay couples? Just askin

THE ICE CREAM
——————————————-

im shocked that cliniqa didn’t manage to insinuate
jennifer’s name in this post. shocked……SHOCKED !

i think z is pouting cause thats all that girl knows howto do.
should her thighs be that big for a baby.

she looks almost too big. abnormally big. and what’s
wrong with her lip too.

——————-

…and so then, after tipping the nice ice cream vendor handsomely — a man who happened to have had an abnormally large and swollen schnoz that dipped down like a snuffalupagous, Mad whispered to Brad & Mommy, ‘Hey he looks like that lady who keeps stalking Daddy named Jennifer,’ Brad & Angie just looked at each other, then laughed and laughed at what Maddy had said.

See Lurker, you spoke to soon beyatchie.

Nothing’s wrong with Z’s lips, but in case you and other fans of the lip-less tv sit-com hack are wondering, it’s called HAVING THEM. She has full beautifully defined lips that are a short distance from her delicate little nose, much like Angelina’s..

…..as opposed to, you know…a wrinkled thin ciggy smokin’ GASH for a mouth, with no lips to speak of - and that’s 10 inches under her big ass nose.

I understand that ‘lips’ are a foreign concept to fanistons.

Just for your information Zahara is not a BABY anymore! She will become tow years old in January. She is a toddler and her thighs are very suitable for a toddler in her age.

Now since you are a lurker can you please take your ignorance out of here and just be a lurker?? Or at least the next time you want to post try to find something less dump to say.

hehehe zahara looks like me……and im a pitt.

wondered what X would feel if she saw a pics of Brad n Angie living the life of a happy n contented family? if i was X, i would die w/envy hehe…..

I wouldn’t be suprised if poor Jen and her bffs/hens do not lurk on Just Jared. That is the only way they can keep up with BP and his beautiful family. It must really upset them to see how happy BP is. All they can do is make snide remarks about the children and AJ’s arms. Sad, pathetic Jen hens.

BABEL IS TANKING AT THE BOX OFFICE. HAHAHA, BRAD IS SO WONDERFUL & POPULAR IT JUST CAN’T BE. HE IS THE KING OF THE WORLD SO WHY DIDN’T ALL OF AMERICA DROP EVERYTHING TO GO SEE HIS CHEATING FACE ON THE BIG SCREEN?

The masses don’t like movies with subtitles. Too hard, too difficult to have to read and watch at the same time, I guess. They like blockbusters with Schwarzenegger and Stallone, etc. and lots of asskicking, no thinking.

BORAT SUCKED, NOT FUNNY, WAY OVER RATED. i HAVEN’T SEEN BABEL YET BUT LET’S HOPE HE GETS AN OSCAR. OPRAH WILL HAVE TO GET HER SEAT FOR POOR OLD MANISTON TO SAY HOW “HAPPY AND GREAT” HER LIFE IS. DREAM ON HAGGY MANISTON

brad and angelina have cute kids………zee is so adorable! awww

i love this family !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#1

I bet if Brad realeased that 2 years ago it would be number 1.
=======================================

Wow, you’re incredibly stupid.

Just like Snatch was #1? Just like Meet Joe Black was #1? Just like Seven Years in Tibet was #1?

And with that being said, LET’S IGNORE the rest of TOO BAD’s posts, it’s obvious she’s a FAT troll with an AGENDA. Let’s not play along. Ok?

Well said! ITA ! Those film were shown while very married to Maniston. and remember Troy, all those Brad and Jen PDA on Cannes, NYC premier didn’t help the BO result in America, thank’s god , Brad had international market which make -up for the loses in USA market. and some other films like The Spy game and Mexican, Maniston was with him in every premier but did these movie become a hit because he was the husband of Maniston. NO!!!!
Babel is an artsy movie , never compared it with Borat, SAWIII,or Jackass.
It was in no.6 spot on recent BO result. not bad for an indie film.

Love them! thanks jj!
