Angelina Jolie’s Signature Smile

Angelina Jolie’s Signature Smile

Angelina Jolie spoke to the media in Mumbai yesterday during a press conference to talk about her shooting experience in India for A Mighty Heart. She clarified that she and Brad Pitt have no plans to adopt an Indian baby. Read the full article after the jump but here what Angelina said on the importance of this film: “We need to tell the story of Daniel Pearl and the reason we are making this film is because it’s very important to have a dialogue between the two cultures. I have the blessings of Daniel Pearl’s family to play this role.”

UPDATE :: Added more pictures of Angelina Jolie in sandalas and carrying a brown leather bag on the set of A Mighty Heart from earlier today. Angie was spotted leaving the Anjuman-e-Islam school in Mumbai, India.

Angelina Scorches Indian Baby Rumors

It was an unusual start to an eagerly awaited press conference. Hollywood diva Angelina Jolie, who evidently kept her role as ambassador in mind at her first encounter with the Indian press on Wednesday evening, began with a confession.

“We have been avoiding the press since we landed in India, but the only reason was that we had a lot of work to do,”she said.

Jolie arrived at the conference in a white linen ensemble. Flanked by co-stars of the film, A Mighty Heart, her humble confession was followed with a terse rider: please ask questions pertaining to the film only.

The only personal query she allowed was one that enabled her to clear the air about rumours of her adopting again. No, Brangelina won’t be adding an Indian baby to their brood after all.

The evening began with the usual banter between her management team and the press. The ’screening’ of journalists took an inordinately long time, with some being asked to stay out of the conference.

For those who did eventually make it to the Princess room at the Taj, there was disappointment in store: producer Brad Pitt had decided to stay away. Was it to mind the babies? No one knows.

The actress insisted that A Mighty Heart was not about terrorism. “We need to tell the story of Daniel Pearl, and the reason we are making this film is because it is very important to have a dialogue between two cultures,”she said. “I had the blessings of Daniel Pearl’s family to play this role.”

When asked if Marianne Pearl was the most difficult character she had played in her career, the actress replied, “When you are in the middle of making a film, you always think that way.

Playing her role is certainly challenging for me, as I have to make the world understand this woman and her family.”
Jolie said that though she knew Marianne personally, she had never met anybody who had faced this kind of trauma.

“She has every reason to be embittered and angry about what happened to her husband and her, but she is very positive and has nothing against Pakistan,”she declared. Did Marianne visit the shooting or want to see rushes of the film? “She is not interested,”replied Jolie.

“She has been travelling around the world, writing on women’s issues.”

Indian actor Irrfan said that he had expected to get intimidated by the star but she went out of her way to make him comfortable.

“She has a very strong personality and it comes across,”said the actor who referred to Jolie as “Angie”during the conference.

And finally, Jolie’s take on Mumbai’s infamous suburban trains. When asked how her much-publicised ride on a local was, she replied straight-faced, “It was fun.”

Thanks so much for being on top of all things BAMZS. Gosh, Angelina looks so lovely in these pictures. So much for those who say she never smiles. And I am glad that at least she gave one press conference clarifying all those adoption rumors.

You should see the splash clip—she was LOL @ that mickeyd place. I’m lovin’ it!

Morning BAMZS Fans!

This woman is gorgeous. Thanks Jared for the new thread.

She really is naturally beautiful.

Angelah,

Yes, I did see the splash clip. She was really laughing out loud and seemed to be enjoying herself. And all those people and papz outside mickey ds … it’s so unbelievable! I’m loving it too.

What I like a lot about Jolie is that she has “On” and “Off” days. She is “Off” in her private time in terms of how she dresses–I would say rather grunge looking :) But when she is “On” the job, such as a press conference like this, she totally rises up to the occasion to show us what a true Hollywood starlets are supposed to look. Same goes with Brad these days and I like that a lot about both of them. But, needless to say, both Jolie-Pitt look great either “on” or “off”, without hair/makeup persons trailing behind–they don’t have a need nor necessity to hide behind a hair curtain. Oh and some so-called “starlets” do hind behind the hair curtain even they are supposed to be “On”.

This is the smile which comes from the heart!

Thank you very much Brad, you are the one of the main reasons for this smile. God bless the Jolie-Pitts.

COLD HARD MATH @ 11/16/2006 at 10:40 am

TOMKAT’S WEDDING? Oh god, I hope they don’t go to that fiasco.

Thanks Jared for the pics. She looks happy! Angie has always had a nice smile. Have a good one, everybody.

She has lightened her her hair. It looks softer and really good.

Gorgeous…
So, r they in Italy this weekend?
Tom.. wedding.. etc…

Do you honestly think so? Don’t you think that TC wouldn’t like that as the papz and the tabloids would divide their focus and spotlight Brad and Angelina as much as they would the bride and groom? You know that our Brad and Ange are about the ONLY couple who could take the focus off TomKat and I don’t think Tom would like that.

African Girl @ 11/16/2006 at 10:42 am

Good Morning All,
She looks really young in this pix. The woman has a lovely smile, doesn’t she?

I read on the last thread that AJ was choosen Woman of the year by some magazine. Honestly, I almost fell off my chair (yeah…that’s right I said it) when I saw that. So let’s see, JA wins Man of the year for 2005 and AJ wins Woman of the year for 2006. Seriously, am I the only who sees the humor and irony in this. The jokes practically write themselves….so ib won’t even bother. :)

Anyhoo, there’s a report floating around about AJ’s bodyguards in a scuffle…..I’m sure it’s gonna find it’s way here soon. Something to note….”an unidentified man” tells the reporter about some racial slur one of the bodygaurds supposedly said, yet for the other accusation, they mention names. Kinda suspect if you ask me.

Thanks Jared.

I am not angie hater here just to clarify before I start on my post! But today what happened in a MUMBAI school by Jolie and her bodyguards is disgusting and disappointing to say the least. For a woman who claims to want to understand faith and culture and a rainbow family and all that jazz today was involved in an incident which proves that she can be a HYPOCRITE!!

Today her bodyguards pushed and slapped small kids and their parents as Jolie made her way to a shoot at a Mumbai school. They called the parents there who protested BLOODY INDIANS and ******* BLOODY MUSLIMS!! Now I am assuming Jolie had to be there as her bodyguards were surrounding her and must have heard that crap

What would she have done had it been Maddox or Zahara who were coming into school and say some politician was coming in and their security guards roughed up her kids? What would she do if someone called Zahara a Bloody Black? Would she just take it??????????????????? Ok its her bodyguards who did all that, but what the heck does she mean by letting them get away with it..

In India we dont have a papparazi like out there, so she must realize that you cannot abuse and treat everyone around you assuming they are that! Those parents didnt even care a damn who she was, some of them didnt even know who she was until told! It just shows she is a hypocrite to talk about a rainbow family and abuse people in another land. No one was harassing her, her security better be more careful considering even Pune was filled with such incidents…

I hope she comes out with an apology or makes them do it! U cannot insult any culture or be racist when u just quote that you are making the movie to bring about and understand different faiths! How can u just abuse people and hit small kids! I think this time Jolie and her security have gone really far! I just hope the Indian govt kicks them outa here ASAP….If she is all what she claims to be she will put an apology out to those parents and young kids…

Those ass like bodyguards need to ***********

How wonderful to see her looking so happy and beautiful.

lookwhaticando @ 11/16/2006 at 10:44 am

Beautiful Smile, Still I will be glad when they come back State Side. Hurry home BAMZS, We love you

loving the big smiles! i’d never stop smiling if i had Brad Pitt and 3 beautiful healthy kids.

thanks for the pics Jared & Audrey

She looks GORGEOUS!!!

I love that smile & laugh! I love her!!

Jolie’s bodyguards beat up mediapersons in Mumbai

Mumbai, Nov 16: In yet another incident involving Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie’s bodyguards, the waiting mediapersons outside a south Mumbai school got beaten up by them on Thursday.

Jolie was shooting for her latest flick ‘A Mighty Heart’ about slain Wall Street journalist Daniel Pearl’s life in the school premises when the incident happened.

Media people were outside the school, waiting for the shoot to get over and subsequently speak to the famous actress, when the bodyguards manhandled them.

It is also reported that the parents of the children studying in that school had objected to the management giving the school premises for shooting of the film.

she is sooo beautiful! thank u JJ a lot!

I love to travel but all these awful stories the Indian media put out there has soured my desire to see the country. It may be wrong to feel that way but I do. I’m just tired of them portraying Brad and Angie as monsters and when a negative story comes out its taken as truth and then plastered all over the internet, CNN, etc. A positive story only makes its way here at jj. Brad & Angie’s responses to negative stories only make it here. If this new claim is true then yes an apology should be issued but if its not true or at least not the whole story will people like Karishma come back and say he/she was wrong?

oh, now it’s gone from bloody Indians to bloody muslims to slapping children….give me a break

http://www.splash-video.com

3rd row, 2nd column… Angie @MCD

somewhere in the middle of the video, on the street, was that Brad (the one with sunglasses, brown shirt, tall)?

Thanks Jared! She looks so lovely…as usual.

African Girl, this year GQ chose Lohan as their lone woman on the list except they gave her the title of “Obsession of the Year” and she doesn’t grace the cover..thank god lol Stephen should have been on one of the covers…of course that’s just what I think.

Stardust, they have Stephen’s picture and articles on the site! He’s the 10th picture!
http://men.style.com/gq/features/slideshow/v/11072006MOTY Sadly though….KO’s isn’t up but I know that the issue is on stands now!

KARISHMA

Were you there ? It seems to me that there are twos sides to the story and we have heard one. I have noticed that the Indian press are worse than tabloids, I remember the story where Brad and Angie were being blamed for a helicopter landing, a week later it turns out they had permission to land. We do not know what is going on , but India is a mess, if they can’t handle a small film production, how do they expect to have more people go to film there, they seem to love drama. So now we have gone from Bloody Indian…to Bloody Muslims, I don’t believe this story for one minute, and you karisma are obviously not a fan of Angelina, to blame her for something she has no control over.

No they are mistaken and are talking about Chin.

Sorry for the double post
But BDJ there are tons of splashes on tv now about this! The kids are being interviewed. The paretns are being..DOnt just stick to that one article…There are no 2 sides here…The truth is right there….I know all of u ANGIE lovers wont believe it and I love her too dont get me wrong

But its a total different line when U use the words BLOODY INDIANS…U dont come to my country and be racist…U dont rant on Muslims and abuse them in a MUSLIM SCHOOL when you are shooting a movie about that…Its just sick and if U really want to know 2 sides wait until tomorrow when the print media gets the whole story out. I just watched 12 year old kids telling their story…They wont lie and so wont parents who have just been abused….I am sure her bodyguards are capable of it…

Its just HYPOCRISY if she sticks to it and terribly disappointing for an Angie fan like myself..But im sure everyone here will say its just OK u can be racist no big deal!

from Perez Hilton @ 11/16/2006 at 10:53 am

Well, I think BAMZS fans need to go over to Perez Hilton and give him a piece of their mind. In his latest thread he is calling Angie a ****. Where does he stand on her? I thought he liked her and hated the X. He is confusing.

D on the West @ 11/16/2006 at 10:53 am

Thanks Jared for the Pics. She looks so happy and genuine. I love her hair a bit lighter it softens her. Keep it up! BAMZS family.

Karishma, when big stars go outside the country to do things like movies, in the case of Brad and Angie, or Madonna’s adoption or even Tom Cruise getting married in Italy, the occasions attract a lot of people and paparrazis and there definitely will be reports of happenings like this one. Most of the reports are exaggerated in the press to cause sensation. I think Americans should be used to this type of reports now and be more logically instead of blaming people. Plus you never get to hear the bodyguards side of the story. The story also said nobody filed any complaints, this is the account of a journalist. Give it a rest.

I wish the posts here are numbered like they used to be. Reason: I’d refer to a post withouth having to refer to the poster’s name.

Without referring to the poster(s), then –

Please! Brad’s fans: Those nice smiles comes from her own personality, not from “Brad”! It’s mooshy to always drag him in when looking at her. I’m glad “Brad” was not at the press conference (Thank God!) even though those journalists were disappointed.

Her hair always looks good and extremely natural.

maniston I would apologise because i am her fan and I so hope so…
U dont want to come here who cares, its ur choice

@sad
I am her fan BTW and no i wasnt there but i dont think those kids being interviewed were lying…And no she has no control over those racist remarks but she has a control over those rambo boys of hers and tell them to just SHUT up! dsnt she?

Like I said no one will feel anything is wrong here, which is sad considering racism needs to not be tolerated!

I think that was the bodyguard.

As I’m fearing, I think Perez is getting bought by Huvane who might be offering him some connections. He is using CCox to “approach” him. While ago, he also did some very odd “pro” X items and then stopped. It obviously looked like Huvane called in for some favor and Perez had to do it.

Karishma, you say you are a fan, I’m just noticing your post for the first time on this thread. Where have you been when Aniston’s fans have been using racial slurs on Brad and Angie’s children? I never read your post being angry about that, now you are angry over what some journalist wrote that you are not sure of ? Give us a break!!!

Good Morning all.

Reposted

I have Deja Vu. That photo of Angelina on the cover of Maxim is an old one. It’s “done the rounds”. She’s looking good if not “very maxim” on that cover.

Whoeve said that local production liasons in countries are resposible for any local shoots is correct. The failure of the local liaisons, who know local customs, protocol and the nature of day to day life has been magnified in this production. I don’t think it would have been like this in Pakistan. Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, South Africa, etc…all seem to have their ish together as far as film production. Anyhow, this incident will be seen for what it really was. Overblown like the other “incidents” reported with inaccuracies in the Indian tabloids and a failure of local productions teams.

Thanks to Tres Jolie of the fabulous photos of Angelina. Her natural hair color is growing in and looks more flattering than the goth black that she loves. She looks like a teenager!

Thanks JJ for a new thread.

Have a good day everyone.

You got that right. It is my choice.

Lets play devil’s advocate. Lets say the bodyguards pushed children and mothers around and called them racist names. How does that make Angie a hypocrite? How does that make Angie a racist? Have any of the children or parents accused Angie of doing these things?

Jared your threads are always so entertaining to read, I’m not a fan of no one. So I wonder if you did some kind of casting call for all the Brangelina worshippers. It amuses me to read how many here worship a couple they have never met and don’t know personaly. It’s almost too scary!! I like Angie but reading comments from these crazy posters make her stories always seem weird. Get a life or an education people, if you where to tell those around you what stupid comments you post I’m sure they will think ya’ll are crazy. Brangelina’s fans are crazier than Tom himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

thanx for the link Iloved it specially Sir Hotness outside in the midst of the fans, probably signing autograph, congenial as always. He could’ve stayed in the car. Hardly the kind of people that would tolerate the abuse of women and children.

*sigh*

ann, you don’t have to read. Make you days better doing something else instead of complaining.

So great to see Angie smiling again! It’s been awhile since i see her this carefree. Love love her! =)

tabloids,

You just beat me to it. I had typed something similar to what you posted (re Karishma claiming to be a fan of Angie’s, yet this is the first time I’ve seen her post) and yet she was willing to hang her despite the fact that the story has yet to be proven true? Demanding an apology when we don’t know yet what the real story is! And even though there were interviews, who knows if those interviews have not been slanted or biased or even just hearsay. You know how people can get excited over being interviewed by the meida and just say anything that they have been prompted to say!

I love Angie! Her straightforwardness and genuine personality certainly shine through… I would love for Ange and Brad to attend TomKats wedding- Love to see Brangelina steal TonKat’s thunder… especially when Ange shows up looking more beautiful/gorgeous than the stepford bride! ( and every other female celeb in attendance!)

bless you jared! there is a special place in BAMZS heaven reserved only for you and audrey :)

it should be a crime to be as lovely as angelina. oh wait, it kinda is considering the crap she has to endure from the media on a daily basis. i wouldn’t blame the jolie-pitts if they bought their own island and stationed battleships around it to keep the riff raff papparrazzi out. but, it’s a pretty safe bet that won’t happen. until then they’ll have to live with being blamed for every incident within 20 miles of them until the world gets bored of using their names for publicity.

@tabloids

I dont post here always coz its weird to react to all that crap they dish out in here..Whoever hates whoever…This time I commented coz being an Angie fan it was extremely disappointing that it came from her camp…Thats all….As far as reacting to aniston fans its not worth it, it just shows how sick they are!

@ maniston…

What she can do? Ask those morons to apologise…Like I said I didnt say she did it but she can ask them to stop it or apologise to those parents right?

Well thats my last post in here, I dont think I am gng to say anything more on this for I know people are ok if someone abuses another country or another faith…But jst being her fan and being a part of the culture that was exposed to it today I am really disappointed..

Oh yeah and Im sorry all of you in here are right and true angie fans!!

Sorry to have written anything at all……..

truth, Truth is what I said. Some of you sound like you where just released from a mental Hospital, and all you had in there was Brangelina news. I like this family but the crazy obsession should be left to the psychopaths!

Yeeeeah “my” Angie is back.
She looks so fresh, so young, so sweet.

Remeber Perez is gay so “s l u t”, as he calls Angelina, is a term of endearment. LOL!! He lovers her. I wonder where Angelina rates in the gay world. Hmmm…I’m gonna do some asking around.

BBL

Hi people!!!

She looks so happy and I’m happy for her. :)
Do you think eating @ McDo made her smile like that?!!! hahaha just kidding! :)

Thanks Jared!

Perez is not a hater.

bamzs 4-ever @ 11/16/2006 at 11:14 am

Good morning everyone! Thank you Jared and Audrey for the new thread! Angie looks great! Love to see her smile but I’m sure she does that a lot at home! hehehe. I love how Brad stays away so she could have her space like that. I love this couple. They support each other but not in your face kind of way. I think they might be going to the wedding after all. Oprah didn’t get invited. I wonder if that is because they are going? What do you guys and gals think? Have a great day everyone!

was lurkig on Men’s Style forums and I found this great post re Jennifer Aniston’s Man of the Year GQ cover. I’ve always wanted a guy’s perspective on JA, and I think this sums it up:

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

Ok. I’m a guy, you know, the base audiance of this magazine. I have to tell you Jennifer Aniston ain’t my idea of a woman with grace or whatever lame thing you gave her. She had one tired joke-”billy idol wants his hair back”, he’s -brad- is missing a “sensitivity chip.” That’s all. That was a sense of humor? Please, this is lame guys. Can’t anyone tell the difference between a bitter shot and a joke? You can do better than this. Is this Cosmo or GQ.? Leave this pitty party stuff to the ladies to fawn over and obssess about. Let them have their mags with the stupid and airheaded “you go jen ref.s’” In the future please spair us the women gossip-touchy feely ****. Do us that one tiny favor.

Don’t get me wrong. I ain’t mad at seeing a naked chick on a cover-little boney for my tastes but whatever-nice breast shot-wonder if they are real, like that matters

The problem I have is she isn’t different from any body else, so why all the fuss? She got a legal separation from pretty boy Brad-her choice. She filed for divorce-again her choice. She wollowed in pitty-her choice. She obsessed over her body-her choice. And she gave a lame interview where she and her sorority sisters slamed Brad. Which by the way was so freakin’ funny considering that I don’t think those chicks where in the bed with them when the lights went out-unless they were into that kind of thing-which is much more interesting to read about then this

Such a shame home girl wants to play the victim. Gotta say men do not find desperation attractive-unless we are in a club looking to score-oh, almost forgot, way to go VINCE V!. Rebound sex is the best sex you can have brother.

No one is reading this stuff, watching her on tv shows to see her doing well, they want to hear her gab on about her failed relationship. That’s all. She has nothing to offer them. Not that she’s not talented. It’s just that for now all she is to the world at large is a joke. A person to pitty till we are all blue in the face. You guys could have done better in getting a real choice for this title. She is no victim and she is no role model either.

If I had a choice, shame I don’t, I would have picked Angelina Jolie. Why? well isn’t it obvious? Hot ass woman that loves to help others and not wine like a baby about define me and oh don’t take my picture. I love a woman that knows when to speak and when to shut up. Jenn A. should take a page from her. News yrs resolution for her should be: “I must learn to be quite and stop boring people with my pitty part/moving on talk”

But hey, only one guys opinion, not like I help keep this mag. afloat with a subscription, oh wait I do.

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

People who claim to be fans sure do jump to conclusions without knowing all the facts. They then proceed to go on a rant against AJ and bring up her children without knowing all the facts. Then you have others who come here and think they are above people who are fans and act all superior. They pretend that they just happen to find this site and wanted to check out all the fanatics. Whatever. I am a fan of AJ. I think that she is a good person and has a good heart. I support her in this Movie role and hope that they complete filming without any further incident.

So first you blame her. See below:
But today what happened in a MUMBAI school by Jolie and her bodyguards is disgusting and disappointing to say the least. For a woman who claims to want to understand faith and culture and a rainbow family and all that jazz today was involved in an incident which proves that she can be a HYPOCRITE!!

Then you say the blame falls on her bodyguards. See below:
Ok its her bodyguards who did all that, but what the heck does she mean by letting them get away with it..

Then you say she should apologise. See below.
Ask those morons to apologise…Like I said I didnt say she did it but she can ask them to stop it or apologise to those parents right?

So again, lets play devil’s advocate and say Angie’s bodyguards roughed up women and children. In your view Angie’s a hypocrite because she hasn’t apologized yet? So if she apologizes today or even tomorrow, she is no longer a hypocrite?

And for the record, I don’t think you’re a hater. I’m just trying to understand your logic.

Dont lie about your living in India. You are definitely not living nor growing up in India. I grew up in British Hong Kong. I can definitely recognize the language of British writing. You are out to defame Jolie.
Please read the following excerpts from cnn.com . The article clearly pointed out only 2 fathers complained. Note only 2. There will always be people who complain in anything. This is life. The most important thing is do NOT blow it out of proportion. Read the following excerpt from cnn.com :—-

“Unfortunately, our arrival was impeded by the paparazzi waiting at the gates of the school. When the gates were opened to allow the parents in to collect their children, the paparazzi rushed the school causing confusion.”

Police said no one had complained about the incident so far.
“If we get a complaint we will take suitable action,” police officer Brajesh Singh told Reuters.

Jennifer Aniston is the Queen of all Frauds, definitely NOT the girl next door unless you live in a $7 million mansion with another $10 million in upgrades, there is no friggin’ way Mrs. Pitt is gonna get Friend-ly with you.

Karishma -

I can understand your perspective and do believe if what was reported to have happened is true, the security should certainly be reprimanded/fired and apologize for their actions. That being said, it appears that in the mix of what happened there were also razzi’s and journalists that were not there to do anything but get a picture or story to sell to the tabloids. I think the ‘other’ side of the story some are alluding to is what part they played in causing the disruption that occurred. It states in the article that when the gate opened these reporters and razzi’s rushed the gate along with the parents. The issue I have is why would this school allow permission to shoot scenes for this movie when classes were in session? If the kids hadn’t been there, this incident could have been avoided. Hopefully, if complaints are filed the truth will be dicovered on all counts and necessary action can be taken.

I’m bringing these two posts form the last thread here because I think some will read only the bad accounts without getting a bit of others who’ve worked in India’s opinion too.

Good Morning all.

I have Deja Vu. That photo of Angelina on the cover of Maxim is an old one. It’s “done the rounds”. She’s looking goo if not “very maxim” on that cover.

Whoeve said that local production liasons in countries are resposible for any local shoots is correct. The failure of the local liaisons, who know local customs, protocol and the nature of day to day life has been magnified in this production. I don’t think it would have been like this in Pakistan. Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, South Africa, etc…all seem to have their ish together as far as film production. Anyhow, this incident will be seen for what it really was. Overblown like the other “incidents” reported with inaccuracies in the Indian tabloids and a failure of local productions teams.

Thanks to Tres Jolie of the fabulous photos of Angelina. Her natural hair color is growing in and looks more flattering than the goth black that she loves. She looks like a teenager!

Have a good day everyone.

As the names of Jolie & Pitt raised the profile of this film shoot, I wonder how other producers in Hollywood will now look at India.

I read before that Bollywood is keen on attracting Hollywood to shoot movies in India, but the news from the AMH shoot seems not be positive. Will the money savings justify the aggravation that the actors and crew have to go through?

^^

Lurking here a few mths back somebody put up this article about filming there and Im so happy it got saved.

Passage India rough for foreign filmmakers
Bharti Dubey

[ 23 Oct, 2006 0057hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]

MUMBAI: Two road accidents, numerous fisticuffs and schedules gone awry. These jottings in the Brangelina tour diary of Pune’s heat and dust say it all. Will the reel-life Mr and Mrs Smith ever return to India to shoot a film?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may have realised by now why veteran Hollywood director Oliver Stone didn’t shoot his controversial movie ‘Alexander’ in India, despite his much-publicised reconnaissance trip.

They may even sympathise with the British crew who were not on talking terms with their Indian counterparts towards the completion of the Oscar-winner ‘Gandhi’ almost three decades back.

The truth is that Bollywood’s countryside is different from Planet Hollywood. Here, postponements are nothing out of the ordinary and laptops are alien to film sets. In contrast, Hollywood teams stick to schedules and juggle their production needs with computers. Stone flew out the moment he hit Indian red tape.

Worst, say actors who have been part of western filmmaking, there is a tendency to make a quick buck from unsuspecting foreign crews. When Hollywood actor Matt Damon and the ‘Bourne Identity’ crew came down for a shoot in Goa, they overshot the estimated budget by almost a double. Bollywood lore has it that room rates were overstated and so were local manpower costs. Hollywood teams depend on desi line producers, who keep accounts on paper unlike their Hollwood counterparts. Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’, too, had gone over budget.

Recalls a unit member of the film, “The total budget allotted that time was Rs 6.5 crore, but the amount was exhausted in making half the film.” Thankfully, the government of the day backed the project and the film was completed.
In hindsight, the unit member feels the British crew didn’t understand the Indian crew’s way of functioning, leading to costs spiralling. “But there is no denying the tension between the British and Indians. More often than not, they didn’t communicate with each other, which again affected the film,” he insists.
Twenty-four years later, the storyline is the same. The Indian line producers are still not able to handle the budgets allotted to them. Not surprisingly then, the Hollywood production ‘Marigold’, which boasts of an Indian star, has gone over budget.

India’s greatest defeat in this regard has been its failure to come up with efficient service providers a concept that has made countries like Thailand and South Korea a favourite with Hollywood. Service providers are literally people who hold the foreign crew’s hand through local paperwork and jargon.

In the absence of such professionals, Hollywood crew depend on word-of-mouth recommendations. The reccomendations are not always apt. Says Udayshankar Pani, who has worked for ‘Gandhi’ and has been a line producer for many German films shot in India, “There are not enough service providers and Indian film schools don’t treat production as a serious subject.”

Gulshan Grover, who has worked in many Hollywood films, feels both sides are to be blamed for the communication gap. He says, “We have some of the most talented guys who are good at multi-tasking despite the poor infrastructure, but a few among us have the habit of getting more out of the dollar-spending guys.
The foreign crew, too, have to shoulder a bit of the blame. They treat us very badly and behave as if they are doing us a favour.” German filmmakers like Michael Enke confess that though their companies are ready to invest in India, many are put off by their previous experiences.

Enke was helped by Pani for his film, but says that many other filmmakers are at the mercy of tour operators who double up as service providers. Hollywood’s favourite locales Goa, Kerala, Ladakh and Rajasthan in fact, have many such tourist operators doubling as service providers and making a hash of the job.
Says Dilip Borkar, who has been a service provider for Indian and foreign film units for 15 years, “Most often these so-called service providers fleece the foreign producers who are ignorant about India. The stories float around and international film producers prefer not to return because of the negative stories.”
But Arjun Bagga of Nora Films, who was the production manager for Omar Sharif’s ‘One Night With The King’, refuses to take a dim view of things. He feels we need to start by clearly revealing the ground realities of our country.
“For instance, it takes four days to get equipment cleared from the customs. If the foreign crew is informed about this and organises itself accordingly, lot of heartburn will be avoided,” Bagga adds.

African Girl @ 11/16/2006 at 11:31 am

I’d think the mere fact that AJ has shown time and time again that race and Religion is not an issue with her, would at least give her the benefit of the doubt. Short of being telepathic and knowing exactly what her bodygaurds are going to say before they say it….there is NO WAY she could have controlled this. These men work for her….their personal opinions do not reflect hers. Let’s try to be rational for a sec….the woman was probably in the car, so she most likely didn’t hear what is been said and it’s very hard for me to where people are coming from with their rants about Hypocrisy.

Karishma, if it happened like you said, then of course it’s racism but what we won’t agree on is your quest to put the blame on AJ.

She looks so beautiful with her new highlights.

****from cnn.com**********

********Police said no one had complained about the incident so far.
“If we get a complaint we will take suitable action,” police officer Brajesh Singh told Reuters. ****************

With all the crap that Angie has to go through with the press to portray MP, I sure hope no one else will come here and tell us how another actress would have been more perfect for this role.

has anyone bothered to count how many stories have come out of india regarding the jolie-pitts that have been revised, recanted, retracted, refuted and rubbished within days/hours of of being reported? it makes the head spin.

Angelina HATES Beatrice @ 11/16/2006 at 12:00 pm

Hey Beatrice, Angelinas HATES you. She doesn’t want the support of people like you. She’d have Mickey kick your ass if she read the CRAP that you write.

I take everything read on the web witha grain of salt. However, since the production company felt it necessary to comment, obviously something negative did happen at the school. It’s unforunate that she will be blamed for this incident.

You are stupid.

been reading here a while, I never noticed, are there “teams” here too? Angie vs Brad? what is that all about? *disapointed sigh*. Brad smiled before as did Angie, it’s just that they have a lot more to smile about these days

She looks so happy!

African Girl @ 11/16/2006 at 12:05 pm

Thanks for the CNN excerpt. It never ceases to amaze me how some people are so quick to jump on anything negative. It’s like bad news about the JPs is honey and they are bees.

Gitane
You’re absolutely right…the moment they got to india, it’s been one thing or the other. Honestly, will there ever come a time when people will say let’s give them a break? They are only shooting a film for goodness sakes….meanwhile we have TC who has given time, date, location for his wedding and he is not getting this much press. I mean the man is practically begging for press and these people won’t leave BP and AJ alone.

Brad smiled before as did Angie, it’s just that they have a lot more to smile about these days

cheers for that.. :) I agree completely!

Angelina HATES Beatrice = REALITY = Just Saying = hmmm = Beatrice FAT & Ugly = …

Whether your idol Brad Pitt makes AJ happy was not the question. The focus was why she looked so happy.

Mediterranean @ 11/16/2006 at 12:17 pm

Who is Beatrice? Who is Observer? I believe these two (or the very same person) have not written well, I just wrote down and Be Sane had the same opinion of!!!

I wrote Brad is THE ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS of THE SMILE OF ANGIE!

Of course, Angie was happy before Brad.

Now she is deeply in love with Brad. She changed many things just for Brad, giving a birth to their child, moving back to Los Angeles, U.S.A., allowing Brad to be a father to their elder kids officially.

He is the ONE of the main reasons which makes her happy.

Didn’t she say something very close to my opinion in the interview in Nambia when she was pregnant about her laughing crises.

Anyway, Beatrice and Observer whom I address with their names, do read the comments carefully.

Angie is wonderful ,smile ray of light

suspicious_package @ 11/16/2006 at 12:20 pm

My God, she is stunning. I am hoping they will go to the Cruise wedding just so I can see the pictures. Is that selfish?

Angie’s serene and radiant smile reflects her happy family life she has with Brad and their children and same goes with Brad.

when did kindergarten let out? isn’t it nap time or something?

Beatrice and Ritzygal will make a nice pair!!!!

Good Morning ya’ll!! Thanks Jared for the new thread and radiant Angie pictures. She has the glow of love on her.

I don’t buy this incident at the school at face value, either. I am waiting to see if more info comes out, and I certainly am not ready to call Angie a hypocrite. Karishma is a little too eager to bash Angie.

Well I was reading along, enjoying the thread, and it took a serious downturn when posts appeared about why Angie is smiling or how much or if Brad was happy before her, or she used to smile before him, or if he used to smile befoe her and who is happier than whom….c’mon people! We’re better than that kind of silly exchange. And to answer “fan’s” question, NO we do not have teams here, certainly not a Brad v. Angie one. I hope people are past that.

The story about the school is everywhere, now the parents filed a complaint with police. I think it was a very bad choice to film when the kids were inside. I really hope they leave India this weekend.

suspicious_package @ 11/16/2006 at 12:22 pm

There are some real sickies out there….

the only people i hate more are her fans like YOU.

ummmm, there’s the door >>>>>>>>>>

well observer out of Angelina’s own mouth.. “I have alot to be happy about”
Like it or not Brad Makes her Happy.
If you are a Fan of Angelina you should be happy for her.

BTW I was quoting the first part

Maybe it’s true that Bollywood would like to attract Hollywood stars. But the people of India do not care and the Indian government does not care. And that is alot of people. Over 1 billion in a very tiny peninsula. You expect there to be some sort of formality to everything. India is an overpopulated country. Not all the people know about Hollywood. You cannot control so many people. Just look at how skinny the Indian police are. They have a hard time controlling India too. India is a chaotic country. But there are so many places that are not like what you see in the tabloids. If the Indian press is saying bad things about Brangelina, it’s because again things are more chaotic there. But as far as I can see, the Indian press have been as bad as alot of other press.

FOR YOU TO JUDGE INDIA AND SAY “NO ONE WANTS TO GO THERE NOW” BASED ON THE INDIAN PRESS IS REALLY IGNORANT OF YOU AND HIGHLY IMMATURE. GROW UP! You don’t know India. There are so many good things to India. Getting angry at INDIA for something they can’t control is ridiculous! Do people get angry at the US for the negative press against stars? No! Becuase you can’t blame the United States citizens nor the US gov’t for freedom of speech.

It’s funny how you can believe the negative things about India, but you can’t believe anything negative about Brangelina.

And once again, stop blaming INDIA, a whole nation, for one negative aspect. I’ve been to India, and I had a great time there. I always saw past any negative aspects of India, because with any territory like that, it’s expected. But after I left that country, I was so renewed & refereshed (like I had been off to a retreat), it was unbelievable. And I was so loved by the Indian people. They are a good people. They really are. They are a simple people. And there are parts of India that are wonderful. And there are many many places where you won’t find any chaos at all.

I am also ashamed at someone like ‘Stardust’ (JJ poster, who’s comments I read a while back) who seems like a follower and not a leader and agreeing with all the brangelina criticisms of Indians and India. That was a while back though. And if you’re going to ask me why I didn’t post anything before, it’s because I never have the TIME. I just look at the pics, rarely skim through the comments and leave. In fact I haven’t been to JJ in quite a while. i just coincedentally happen to have the brief time and energy to post today. There’s nothing ‘vindictive’ here and stop blaming people for having their crticisms over BAMZS fans and Brangelina.

Maniston, for one, didnt make sense in some of his/her retorts against Karishma. Highly illogical. And illiterate.

i have no name @ 11/16/2006 at 12:26 pm

and then you CAME, “Beatrice & Observer are LAME”

:):):)

I was just watching a video of Angelina. And I have to say when she was in her young hey days - trying to find herself she was positively scary. And certainly gives the aniston lovers (Fans, media, Oprah;s, Trumps, Voight’s) enough ammunition to shoot at her. But what is remarkable is how she has transcended that phase to emerge as a better human being. As teens and young adults when we are gowing we do experiment, try different and new things, try to see how far we can go - and the fact that angelina never had a father figure in her life (or at least one as self-obessed as Voight) does not make for a very stable, loving environment. So I can understand the toild and demons she must have been fighting at the time. But she came through it, she learned from her mistakes, she embodied the lessons that life taught her and has matured into an intelligent, warm, loving and courageous women. What is so endearing about her is her honesty, her alck of facade, she knows that we all know about her past, she never covers that, but embodies it to and emphasizes that her apst is what ahs defined who she is today, but having taught her valuable lessons in life.
If you look at palstic Hollywood, which one of the stars would you vouch for as having the same appeal - a handful( Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins ….) These are people you know who can trust - as they have beliefs outside of their own greatness.
Now if you compare this to aniston, who comes across as shallow, superficial, “not the brightest”, dishonest and certainly very weak, who would you rather be in a sinking boat with?

Stardust is an Indian, by the way.

I’m a long time lurker and and have always admired Angelina. She might have done some unusual stuff when she was younger but she definitely found her purpose and meaning to life since she did LaraCroft and adopted Maddox.

What I can say is that Angie choose to take charge of her life , make changes that agrees with her values and principle and live it . Years later… along came Brad who has “lost ” in his marriage but do not have the guts to take charge of his life. Knowing Angie and how she has made the charges and living it on her terms opened up Brad’s eyes to how he can do likewise to a stale and failing marriage. Well .. he apparently did what he had to do to get out of the sham marriage before he rot in living daylight . I could see the “new” Brad is alot more in control of his life , living it the way he wants rather then the way the media or public wants him to .

I will say both of them complement each other and this synergy is very good to both of them and their families.

Blessings and love to Jolie-Pitt.

Thank you real Lou, I lurk on these posts most days and it amazes at times how inane - some of JA Fans are. Having said this it also amazes how Voight,Trump, Oprah continue to be so blind - I ma certain in their hearts they all belive the assessment above, but will never embrace as they are far too envious to acknowledge just what she has accompolished and how much she has gone through in life to have emerged as a beautiful butterfly. And this why Angelina will alsways have people adoring her, because of her realness.

she is just soo beautiful and smart !love her!

This High school story about Angie is a BOGUS one. Angie’s class is 91 not 93. She graduated at the age of 16.

***********************************************
I gotta agree with you here. It seems this was a situation that got really out of hand. But still, we don’t know if Angie was even anywhere near any of the fray. You know good and well Angie would nit sanction or endorse anybody, especially children being put in a harmful situation. These stories make it sound like she was standing in the midst of it, and I seriously doubt that is the case. It still appears to me that the Indian press is very quick to make Angie personally responsible. It sounds like the result of poor planning on the part of many people. Angie doesn’t make these movies by herself, you know. She doesn’t plan, select, and coordinate the locations.

And another thing, it says the children were frightened by “crew” wearing police uniforms and carrying guns. Why would the “crew” be in costume? That’s bogus, for sure.

We’ll like to focus on who Brad and Angie are, not what happened in story where bodyguards and paparrazis clash in the middle of a chaos that’s beyond anyone’s control:

Another take on the horse farm story:

Maddox’ first riding lesson

Brad Pitt and Zahara cheered the five-year-old on as he rode a horse

Maddox Jolie-Pitt, five-year-old son of Hollywood actors Brad and Anjelina, got his first-ever riding lesson in Pune! Maddox learned to steer the steed within an hour, even as his proud father stood by giving him the thumbs up, frantically capturing the ride on camera, and cheering, “You’re a champ, son.”
The stud farm, run by Lorrain *** and son Rohan in Taalegaon is 40 minutes away from the sets of A Mighty Heart in Sindh Society, Pune, where Angelina Jolie was shooting. It was recommended by a production crew member. Brad had confided in the crew member that the children were ‘cheesed off ’ at being confined to their rooms due to unflinching media attention. Also present at the five-day riding camp of were Alvira and Atul Agnihotri’s children Elizeh and Ayaan.
“The place was first surveyed by Brangelina’s security guard and publicist, and we were requested to cancel all riding lessons for the day, but a thunderstorm spoiled plans twice. The third time, when Brad called, we explained we wouldn’t be able to cancel the five-day camp as the place was already full of children. Brad said he didn’t mind other children and first said he was sending them with the nanny. But, when the car drove up, I was zapped to see Brad too. Angelina had stayed back with baby Shiloh,” explains Lorrain.
Maddox first rode Clysdale, and later a pony called Benzi, while Brad and Zahara fed the fish in the pond. “Brad is so down-to-earth and simple. Zahara and Maddox looked like as if they found freedom. Brad was so engrossed in Zahara getting a ride on the truck that he almost missed seeing Maddox trotting on his own till I had to come and tell him. He was so excited that he went on clicking his pictures away. Brad too was playing, laughing and becoming like a child. It was nice to see him let his guard down,” she says.

Fake Gossip @ 11/16/2006 at 12:48 pm

Beatrice, the story is not true PERIOD !!!
——————————————-

If it was true.. why not write about it then , ie 20 years ago ? why wait till Nov 14 2006 to post about it ? Why wait almost 20 years to brag about some juvenile highschool quest. Btw .. It is a known fact that Angelina had one boyfriend since 14 yo and her bf live in with her , with her mom’s approval. So if anyone were to do think about the situation . how can this gossip even hold any water.

Obviously .. the gulible non fans are falling into this blogger’s trap of helping her with her website hits . Anyway .. you non fans .. or rather JA fans are just DESPERATE and clutching on straws. Give up .. Brad is never going back to any LOSERS.

great posts! bravo bravo

about the high school thing, I believe 99% of the people here must be females, even the haters. That being said, how many of us have had guys lie about getting some off us? They never admitted that they didn’t get anywhere. Now multiply that number x 10 or even 100 because you’re Angelina Jolie and you have some idea of what she’s been going through

This kind of sensational journalism follow the stars where they have a lot of paparrazis, journalists, local people and bodyguards all involved in a scuffle. We should get used to this by now. It is not the fault of the stars neither do we know whether the reports are accurate. This is like blaming athletes for a stampede at the stadium between the police and the fans.

Joining The Real Lou in applauding you. For real, it’s hard as hell for some to accept her honesty about the good bad and ugly road she traveled to find her purpose. It eats them up and they’re jealous, and what is the main thing jealous people do? they look for every chance to find something to be negative about, They rejoice in it like they in church! Angelina aint never given a **** what people thought of her or how she lived her life and it kills them that of all the women in the universe, Brad found the life hed been dying and crying for with her.

You know, despite all the negative criticisms of India or their press, i have not seen Angie SO happy and smiling and relaxed as she is there in India. She has enjoyed herself and been happy in other parts of the world, as well. But I’ve never seen a smile as big as that until she went to India. I think she is feeling a sense of mormalcy because of the way her new Indian friends there treat her. I think you fanatics need to stop blaming India for anything negative that goes on with Brangelina. i understand the need for control, but you won’t find it in India. Which makes India the kind of experience you won’t find anywhere else. If India was so so bad, then why do so many Bollywood stars live there instead of move out? And why do so many Indians from other parts of the world spend thousands of dollars a year to keep going back and visiting the place?

I have a friend who’s family is from india, and she had nothing but great things to say about visiting India. And I grew up with her and as a youngin she had negative things to say about India. But now that she’s an adult, she realizes that all those negative things she thought about her own family’s country were all childish and ignorant minded. Now she goes back there all the time, spending thousands of dollars on plane tickets. A plane ticket to India can be highly expensive from certain far away countries.

And these Bollywood stars who do make alot of money could move out of India, but they refuse to move away.

Who exactly in your opinion and by name a fanatic?

No matter the positive things that has been posted, I still hope and pray that Angie and Brad and the kids finish up with India AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND leave right away, and never come back. The Bollywood stars can stay in India for all I care, after all that is their country. But I hope and pray that my beloved BAMZS leave now and go back to the U.S.

Your righteous indignation is so funny. The production team on this movie is British, the Line producers are Indian, but somehow when the undiscplined India media act stupid, Angelina has to be blamed, and I am somehow supposed to be ashamed because I am a fan of hers.
By being a humanitarian, does that mean she has to be responsible for the actions of everyone around her.
Most stories that have come out have been so exaggerated or been outright lies. Anybody remember the story of her car running down a cyclist, it then changed to one of her bodyguards, then it turned out not to be any one involved with her. The paps can get a decent picture from a distance, why they have to be in their face is what I don’t understand. The media are always blaming her bodyguards, but if they are not on the job and something happens to Angie, the bodyguards will be blamed for not doing their jobs well.

For those of you that come here and call us names for liking Brad and Angie, we claimed JJ and left Dlisted, Perez and other blogs for your hateful spewing, still that is not enough for you.

If calling the fans here names makes you happy, hey go at it, but it is not going to change anything. You are not going to change anybody’s mind here. JJ actually have more intelligent, educated, funny posters than the hate riddled blogs that are out there and that is why you keep coming back here.

Yes I adore Angelina and Brad for their humanity and their humility, and there is nothing pretentious about, for that I will always give them the benefit of the doubt and wait for a couple of days for the full facts to be out.

Beatrice & Observer are SC @ 11/16/2006 at 1:08 pm

Big surprise she’s at a press conference. The only thing Angelina loves more than herself is PUBLICITY!

with all the razzis around, do any of them have photos of this incident? wouldn’t they be all over the place?

Beatrice & Observer are SCUM:

You are so full of ****. Did you not read the article? “We have been avoiding the press since we landed in India, but the only reason was that we had a lot of work to do,” she said. Then here you come in your almighty knowledge and say that she loves the publicity more than herself. If she loved the publicity, why would she have avoided the press?

Sheesh, some people will post anything because of their blind hatred, without even thinking of the logic, or il-logic, of their rantings. SIGH!!!!

“Big surprise she’s at a press conference.”

The Indian press demanded one; she was only too polite and humble to oblige them. Really a very KIND Angie.

And if Angie didnt hld one press conference, they would turn the other side of the story saying Angie’s too good for India to give conferences or what not.. crazy

Indie,

What a lovely post. ITA.

I especially agreed with what you said about us making JJ our home, leaving dlisted, pHilton, etc to the haters, and yet they still want to claim this blog too. I really wonder at people spewing hatred at them, calling them, especially her, so many hurtful names. It’s been almost two years and they are still spouting the same. And they say that they are so sick and tired of stories about BAMZS, but yet, no matter where it is posted, they read AND post. I am sick and tired of TOMKAT and I don’t post at their thread, why can’t the haters do the same and leave BAMZS alone?

With so much trash out there, I believe one should read the full article at CNN. There will always be some bad guys complaining about this and that. It’s just like some parents will be complaining about the teacher not doing the job right. People will be criticizing about the president etc. Remember, there are always 2 sides of a story. A judge always hear both sides before forming an opinion. So far, CNN has only reported 2 fathers who complained. This is life. The most important thing is do NOT blow it out of proportion

excerpt from cnn.com

“Unfortunately, our arrival was impeded by the paparazzi waiting at the gates of the school. When the gates were opened to allow the parents in to collect their children, the paparazzi rushed the school causing confusion.”

Police said no one had complained about the incident so far.
“If we get a complaint we will take suitable action,” police officer Brajesh Singh told Reuters.

Note, police said NO one file a complaint.

just asking @ 11/16/2006 at 1:29 pm

Are Brad and Angie going to TomKat’s wedding?

Why was Oprah not invited? Isn’t she a very powerful person in the USA?

the real tita @ 11/16/2006 at 1:29 pm

Karishma, are you talking about the same India with its caste system and its “Untouchables”? Where somebody could be dying at your feet but if they were deemed untouchable nobody but nobody would come to their aid because of their class?

I’m sure there is some explanation as to why there was a scuffle. Were they trying to see the movie star or were they trying to protest the presence of the Americans and making threats? Wait until the investigation is finished before you start judging. A bodyguard’s job is to protect the client. If they were overzealous, then they should be reprimanded. If they were doing their job properly, then they should be lauded. If they were abusive, then they should be canned and made to pay for it.

On a different note, I like Angelina’s looks in those pictures. The hair and the smile makes her seem brighter and more beautiful.

Angelina Jolie Says She Wants to Portray Mariane Pearl’s Strength Amid the Loss of Her Husband

11-16-2006 6:22 AM

MUMBAI, India — Angelina Jolie says playing the wife of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl in “A Mighty Heart” is challenging, as she attempts to portray her strength amid the loss of her husband.
“We need to tell the story of Daniel Pearl and the reason we are making this film is because it’s very important to have a dialogue between the two cultures,” the 31-year-old actress was quoted as saying in The Times of India newspaper Thursday. “I have the blessings of Daniel Pearl’s family to play this role.”

Pearl, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, was abducted and murdered in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on Islamic militancy.

His wife, Mariane, doesn’t harbor any ill will toward the Pakistani people, Jolie told a group of Indian journalists Wednesday.
Mariane Pearl has every reason to be “embittered and angry about what happened to her husband and her,” but she has remained “positive and has nothing against Pakistan,” Jolie said.
Playing Mariane Pearl “was certainly challenging for me, as I have to make the world understand this woman and her family,” the Hollywood actress said.

Comments about Never visiting India and reading about Indian Press is this and that is just so funny. I am an Indian, i live in the US now, planning to go back soon. I have never read or seen paparazzi and tabloids in India behave like they do in US. I couldn’t have said it better than Linda. I am a B&A fan but if what Karishma has said is true, i think A should apologize or atleast have her Bodyguards apologize. If those guys have said things like that, they should be kicked out of India Pronto.

Oh and honestly if some people decide to never visit India, that’s ok, it’s not India’s loss.
Peace to Everyone.

I think its horrific that her bodyguards commit violence and spew racist remarks on people everyday just because HER ROYAL HEINESS does not wish to be photographed. Yet she can be Mother Theresa to alot of idiots. Somethings not right. Why do they give that little pitbull (Mickey the goon) the power to harm people and nobody gives a crap as if theyre entitled to do this. And also why are they allowed to create a high speed chase with the paparazzi to avoid being photographed and put innocent people in danger. The press needs to VETO theyre asses and see how long it takes for them to start the PR suck-up machine. Prior to the triangle of infidelity nobody cared this much about any of them. NOW THEY WANT THEIR PRIVACY - I say give it to them and forget them!

jen is a fraud @ 11/16/2006 at 1:52 pm

from lainey,

http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/02/cops-swarm-aniston-arrival-at-lax/

A ten person police escort out of LAX?

- Jen’s arrival yesterday wasn’t exactly quiet, it wasn’t exactly unattended, but it was definitely absolute chaos.

Pappies amazingly alerted in advance to her arrival, a personal swat team alerted in advance for protection. And I’m not the only one curious about the overkill. TMZ also asked the question – why not use the back exit?

Furthermore as Laura W pointed out in her email to me yesterday – if security is such a concern, why not take a private plane from any number of private and less publicly accessible airfields in and around the Los Angeles area?

Answer: Because if that were the case, no one would have seen her.

Don’t tell me someone like Jennifer Aniston doesn’t have the cash or the clout to make private travel arrangements. Hell, if Howie Mandel can score a private ride out of Heathrow within a few hours during the terrorist threat, Jennifer Aniston can CERTAINLY score a private ride out of London if she really wanted to, and something tells me that would take minutes.

Do you smell jealousy? Or is Humble Jen really just trying to “live her life”?

Please.

Aniston –Always a fraud, still a fraud.

Indie, wonderful post, ITA. And yes, I can’t wait for BAMZS to get out of India.

I love her smiles, so sweet, so genuine.

AJ is radiant. I love to see her smile.
So, more problems with the Indian press. I hope they leave this week end. I think it’s good idea to go TC’s wedding.

I think we should be allowed to discuss BABEL. In that case, we can get the word out there. I dont belong to the yahoo group and dont intend to. How long do we have to wait, ? until the DVD comes out???
I think it’s ridiculous !!!!

I have so much to share on BABEL !!!!

We should be reminding people to go see BABEL…………

If there were so many papz outside the school waiting to get inside and causing all the stampede, don’t you think by now the internet would have pictures/videos of this so-called school incident? Paging tmz.com, splash-video, x17-online. I have been surfing for the past half-hour on these sites, and nada except for the reports. NO PICTURES. Hmmm, why is that?

Cliniqua...eww @ 11/16/2006 at 2:06 pm

running to click on Janet Charlton now…

Another incident? And yet the hypocracy continues to flow. She is responsible for the actions of her personal bodyguards. If this ugliness was committed by an additional layer of production security , then that would be different but either way, it all falls on her lap.

But if Jennifer Aniston was in the middle of this, you all would have her head. As it is Angelina, it’s all “it’s not her fault…:, “it was beyond her control…”, “if you believe this story, you’re a hater…”, “let’s focus on who they are as people. Here, read this horse story…”.

Ugh. Lousy hypocrites…all of you!

BCBG, I just went to see Babel again with a friend yesterday. I still enjoy it, and my friend loves it.

for a story that’s supposedly all over the internet, i’ve only found one site with an article.

http://www.canada.com/topics/entertainment/story.html?id=0a1d9bbc-3568-402e-aaca-9761ca50aff7&k=55891

There are never pictures of these lies despite the no. of paparazzis present. Same with the lie about Angie being in an accident, no picture until we found out it was a lie. I think we should hold our journalists responsible for publishing this type of stuff before a thorough investigation is made. Remember the fake Al-queda threat anyone? Everyone wants to make a sensation out of this couple’s name. Too bad, the gullible people believe everything. The more I read the latest story, the more I believe it is not the truth. There might have been a scuffle but it will always be between the bodyguards and the paps and if parents and children are involved it must be as a result of the scuffle and nothing personal on the kids. We should not hold India responsible, it is the press.

angie looks beautiful

Ritzygal, how many times did you say you were going on vacation and wouldn’t be posting? And now here you are again, showing your true colors as a jen aniston fan.

Angelina is the star of the movie — she is not the line producer, she is NOT the executive producer — why blame her? If at all, blame Brad and the other producers and the powers that be who had arranged for the shooting in the school, blame the school officials.

The bodyguards were doing their duty — now, if they were out of line, as the real tita said above, then they should be rebuked and canned. But why call Angelina a hypocrite? She is not responsible for her bodyguard’s beliefs, she hires them to protect her and her family.

brsies,

Exactly. Why people immediately believe someone who post on a celeb blog because they present themselves as true is beyond me.

This would be a huge story if it were true and until there are pictures and other credible sources start reporting on this story I find no reason to believe it.

Karishma can go somewhere for all I’m concerned. I don’t know her, her motive for posting this here, why she even knows of this site to post this news on, or anything else for that matter. Why should I believe her just because she says it’s true.

I’m waiting for more news before I buy any of this.

THANK JJ FOR ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL THREAD.
She looks absolutely beautiful and beaming with happiness.
(((((Bravo))))))))) to all the ladies/Gen here supporting AJ.
A warm Hello to all the newbie and regular.

Go see BABEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!, one of the Best movie of the Year.

BCBG- please share your Babel experiences…. I love to know.

India’s press ( I’m talking about the tabloids/rags) are like here in the U.S.- Copy and Paste.
Why AJ has to apologize for the press sensationalism and behaviors?…

I like AJ in the movie Alexander, ( I actually, may be one of the few, who do like the film), for her part, she’s was great in it.

As long as people out there buying those tabloids, the papz will continue attacking, harassing and causing harm to people around them to get the money shots. It’s not AJ’s fault it’s the people like you…so stop supporting the papz.

just went over to Janet C. site only because one of the crazies here said not to..what a hoot of a picture.. tht is what I call true skankarella.. now if picture of Jen was shown like that you all would be all over her for looking so ******.. but i could be wrong , perhaps that is why the “gang” here are all so crazy for her..just wondering

I’m never going to India

Marla Z:

Actually, to me you are one of the crazies who keeps posting here where you are not wanted. What I call the true ***** is the picture that perezhilton posted of a NAKED Aniston. Did you not see that? We all did, but no one posted a comment, we looked, shuddered, and then went back to posting here on JJ. YOU, on the other hand, looked at a post of Angie, came back here and made a snarky comment. So who’s the crazy one, now?

Thanks Jared & Audrey @ 11/16/2006 at 2:33 pm

This is from MD’s thread JJ just put up.

Angelina Jolie speaking about Matt Damon:

‘The Good Shepherd’ co-star Angelina Jolie: “Matt’s just a really solid, genuine guy. He’s very humble and straightforward. It’s what I expected because you honestly never hear a negative word about him in this town.” Details Magazine December 2006

I dont know why but I love that she and Brad share collegues and friends or who are also friemds. It’s cool, it’s like the A-listers actors club. She gets her propers not based on fact shes Brads woman but because she was before and now a A-lister too.

asaragena @ 11/16/2006 at 2:36 pm

There is a splash video if you want to see the chaos. I totally blame the paparazzi for this incident……hoo-boy!

Isn’t that so true, THANKS JARED & AUDREY Says.

Brad and Angie truly share colleagues and friends on the A-Listers club; not like some tv sitcom hack whose best friends are C- and D-Listers, just so they wouldn’t overshadow her.

It’s what I expected because you honestly never hear a negative word about him in this town.”

aww I love Matt, he’s great.

Thanks :D

^^

Thanks Gitane. They gotta split that craziness asap! Im just so ticked that the only people catching hell is two, and that’s Brad & Angie.

First, I’m cynical about the Indian press, not India itself. Just like I don’t trust the mainstream media in America, yet I do love the country. Just because I’m Indian doesn’t mean I have to love everything about my country or can’t be realistic with my assertions.

And someone asked if India is such a bad place..why do bollywood stars continue to live there?

Well, did you know that most bollywood stars stay most of the year out of the country shooting a movie in a foreign locale. And movie stars make 2-3 movies per year so they are busy all year. Can I ask if bollywood stars love India so much, why don’t they shoot scenes in India…why go to New York and why go to Switzerland for every damn movie. And when those bollywood stars aren’t shooting movies, they’re traveling somewhere else besides India.

When you saw Brad and Angelina riding a rickshaw in Pune…do you think any Bollywood star does that? You think with all the crap that’s being given to them, anyone would have been this gracious, to not only have a press conference, to visit refugees, meet a with a Prime Minister, and help build homes. No.

Recently an bollywood actress’s bodygaurds were accussed of pushing around people while she was on location shooting a movie. The crowd complained and called the actress arrogant because even though she apologized, she also said part of the blame went to the media people who got out of hand.

Now the media will print stories about her being arrogant and diva -like, but they’ll never tell you the whole story. Even though her bodygaurds were the ones who were responsible, the stories that were written made it seem that the actress herself was pushing around people.

That bollywood actress was shooting in place called Uttar Pradesh.

I’ve been to Uttar Pradesh and it is literally embarassing the way urban women are leered at and passed sexual comments upon(I don’t intend to generalize, but this is a general reaction).

The reason why most Hindi films are shot in the villages of Maharashtra(Wai, etc.) and Tamil Nadu(Tirunelveli, etc.) is because the folk here allow the shootings to take place without any disruptions. In other words, the fans here are not ‘fanatics’ unlike in Uttar Pradesh.

I think the actress made it pretty clear that being a woman, she should not be ganged upon for autographs, etc.

And going by the cat-calls and lewd comments that some people pass at actresses in movie theaters in Mumbai(they even stare at posters and make horrible gestures), I can only imagine how bad it must’ve been to hear them in person.

Now effigies of that actress are being burnt and carried around on death beds.

And this isnt’ the first controversy of its kind. When a major bollywood superstars bodygaurd was killed, people started protesting that the actor refused to help out the bodygaurd’s family. Turns out later, that the actor had alread visited the family and promised to help them. But the media will barely report their own mistakes.

What abou when Amir Khan said something about the building of some dams in one state? They banned his movie from being shown in that state simply because the ruling political party didn’t like the comments he made. Freedom of speech went out of the window for that one.

I don’t hate India. I love going there and visiting my family and there so many good things to say about that country. But I’m not going to deny that there is also a lot of chaos there. And I can’t hide my cynical opinion of how the media works there. It’s all spin. Just because I’m bashing the media for its lack of professionalism and journalistic integrity, doesn’t mean I’m bashing India in general. I’m sorry but I can’t blindly praise my country for the sake of showing my love or respect for where I come from.

asaragena @ 11/16/2006 at 2:41 pm

How popular are hollywood actors for example, Brad and Angelina compared to the Bollywood actors in India? Now I know why Hollywood doesn’t film there because I’ve never seen so much negativity and chaos coming out from a film location. Brad and Angie seem to love visiting there though… :)

Not a Surprise Says:

Yeah whatever. Angelina only had one boyfriend. She did not sleep around. But whatever you can believe the nasty gossip of a bunch of ****** men that need to debase women for fun. What else are they going to talk about at their reuninon? Their receeding hair lines and divorces.

Ritzygal,

No one cares about Jennifer Aniston.

Go to her site since you care about her. No one here does.

I’m not stupid enough to believe stories you post as automatic truths. Why should I? I have brain of my own and am perfectly capable of filtering out Bullsh*t and I know you’re full of it. You proved that to me yesterday.

Beautiful pics of Angelina have been posted and because of your obsession/hatred of this woman you will search the internet for baseless gossip from unreputable newsources and then try and bait people into argument with you hoping to prove that Angelina is a horrible person and we shouldn’t be her fans. Why are you here trying to convert people? I thought you said we weren’t worth your time because we were to stupid or something like that. Go somewhere, or find somewhere to go because you obviously aren’t wanted many places cause you keep coming back here.

And you call yourself part of the media, what part? The part where the other bottomfeeder, celeb gossip rags inhabit. I’m proud to say I don’t exist in that part.

I just got a new job! My interview I had yesterday has resulted in me now being a bonafide member of the press. I’m so happy I could scream!!!

Oy ritzy! vacation not doing so well??? Stress during vacay time is not good for your blood pressure. You do love us. Yes you do. You really really do. Let’s hear it from another lousy hypocrite and liar such as you. You brag about you having a “life” and yet everytime the Jolie-Pitts blinks an eyelash that gets reported to media you come rushing here to accuse them of optical terrorism. talk about a hypocrite. Yes, we know you LOVVVVVEEEE Jenifer little-girl-pity-me Aniston and hates Angelina homewreker Jolie. Get over it already. You’re just like those Bradforum moderator that goes apeshit whenever the great whiny Jeniffer gets slapped in the face with the truth stick. one of those chicks there who can’t just let go of the golden couple dream? Is this one way to sabotaged JustJared coz your site isnt doing so well???

Visit of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: Pune vs Namibia

NAT News Network
Posted on Thursday, October 26, 2006 | at 1:34:40 AM IST

While Hollywood actors aren’t a novelty to India, the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have invented media emotion. During their ongoing stay in Pune, they have been involved in a motorcycle accident, followed by their security guard allegedly pulling a gun on a journalist. The most Indian experience they have had is a three-wheeler ride, and while not on set, they remain ensconced in their hotel. Pune could learn a lesson from Namibia where the couple had their first child. Journalist and media persons were denied visas, the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were given state security, and as a result of the peace which Namibia able to provide, Namibia was thanked with over $300,000 for medical aid, and is on the world tourism map.

Even if Pune doesn’t extend itself as much, it must protect its tourists, celebrity or otherwise, from harassment, and in this context, make it clear to the journalist that hooliganism and the violation of other’s freedom will not be tolerated. So far, the only Pune the media has covered involves uncouth incidents, rather than the city’s scenic beauty. This is a golden opportunity for Pune to showcase its hospitality and attract tourists. It should remember that just because it’s being used as a substitute for a city of violence, harassment and inhospitality, doesn’t mean it needs to become one
=====================

^^ India in general has a long way to learn about this business ^^
Too bad that the India Media failed to look at the larger picture in general and choose to pick on the nitty witty non-significant stuff. This in all tell alot about the culture and community in general . Anyway .. too bad they missed over one month of free press and publicity for a country that may not need help (financially) but sure could work with some tourism and other free awareness promo.

Too bad.. too bad .. myopic indian media .

Lula29:

Congratulations. Go ahead and scream, you deserve it!

Isn’t that ritzygal something else? She seems to be some kind of *********, she still comes here despite being bit**-slapped by Passing Through and others so many times.

Isn’t that so true, THANKS JARED & AUDREY Says.

Brad and Angie truly share colleagues and friends on the A-Listers club; not like some tv sitcom hack whose best friends are C- and D-Listers, just so they wouldn’t overshadow her.

^^

I might be wrong but I never noticed Brad and the past sharing much in the way of collegues or friends you?

First, I’m cynical about the Indian press, not India itself. Just like I don’t trust the mainstream media in America, yet I do love the country. Just because I’m Indian doesn’t mean I have to love everything about my country or can’t be realistic with my assertions.
*****************
Well said/written Stardust. I’m cynical of the media as well which is why I get most of my news from online. And snaps for not blindly following or loving everything about the USA and India although not surprisingly I’m the same way.

Come back home BAMZS!

thanks jared and audrey says:

“I might be wrong but I never noticed Brad and the past sharing much in the way of collegues or friends you?”

I believe Brad and the X were sharing most of their time with the X’s best friend and husband (CCox and DA), but they did spend time with Dermot Mulroney and Catherine Keener when they were still married.

Stardust,

Great post. I agree with you about the press in general. You have to be skeptical about all the news coming, because there are a lot of mistruths, halftruths, and flat out lies being propagated by the press these days and to me it’s sad and scary. So many people automatically believe everything that is printed and you can’t do that. You really do have to do your research before taking something as the honest truth.

Thanks for enlightening us.

The Indian media blew it. That’s it, no Hollywood star will shoot a movie there for a long time. This is not the nation’s fault, but largely fault of their media. But really I don’t care. By the time AMH comes out, this will be forgotten, and there will be new controversies, new reasons for the haters to hate on.
And Ritzy, why did you lie again?
Oh, I’ve forgotten you are a serial liar just like the X.

I would like to hear more about Babel, as I have no chance to see it until the New Year.

November 16th, 2006 at 2:58 pm
Interesting, because I don’t see one member of Angelina’s security team in the chaos.
———————————

I noticed that too. The only point in the video where I see a bodyguard I recognize (and yes I realize I don’t know all of them) is when Angie & Mickey walk out of a building and get immediately into the car. I see people who I assume to be the parents and some type of police officers or guards pushing back but again none of them look like the bodyguards who have been with Brad & Angie since they got there.

Lula29, Congratulations on the new job!

Thanks Jared & Audrey @ 11/16/2006 at 3:05 pm

stardust Says: November 16th, 2006 at 2:40 pm

So much thanks stardust. It’s nice to have a balanced story from someone who has personal ties to India. I hope it comes thru that I dont hold all at fault for what a few have done. Its messed up that the press has that kind of control and sway over what the population is privy too and sad that the real deal isn’t demanded. It sounds like the press of old here in America before tv. **** was said in the papers and those who could read got whatever tale was spun, and those who couldnt got stuck with the trickle down which of course didnt sound a damn thing like the lie it started out as.

hey Lula29, congratulations! Ehem now, we have a really bonafide journalist and have an inside information with the press people lol, unlike someone i could mention here.

While reading about the incident at the Indian school involving Jolie’s bodyguards, assuming it was true for a second:

I wonder if there’s something in common between Jolie’s bodyguards and her fans, because some of the fans do act very bullishly. They verbally attack everyone who disagrees with them on Jolie or her lover Pitt.

Thanks guys for all the congrats.

I just saw the Splash video and unfortnately it doesn’t reflect to well on India. Nothing really happened except people were upset they couldn’t get into the school, understandable I guess, but if the crew has already made arrangements with the school and other officials how angry at them can you be? The same happens anywhere something is filmed so if we are to be angry at them then we have to be angry at all movie stars who dare to film a movie.

I don’t see where Karishma’s story comes in because it doesn’t look like any part of Jolie’s entourage was involved, just other Indian officials.

If her bodyguards did do ANY OF WHAT WEVE HEARD she ABSOLUTELY IS RESPONSIBLE - NO QUESTION! And she should WANT to apologize!! This idiot Mickey is completely out of control and yes she is the one who allows it and she should suffer the consequences. Her life is not more important than ANY of those people or children. Also I think its an abomination to blame everything on the paparazzi - when people get hurt and/or insulted because someone doesnt want to be photographed its an insult to my intelligence to buy into it. Does anyone even consider what would happen if someone would have gotten in the way of Princess Dianas car that fatefull night - does anyone care?? All because of a picture?? And everyone wants to blame the paparazzi - we are all responsible for our actions - nobody MAKES US do anything. I dont believe celebrities should always have the “GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD” to break the law or harm someone in any way. just because someone wants to take a picture. If you dont run - nobody has to chase you and guess what… nobody gets hurt. They are public property and are paid handsomely and quite frankly I believe when they started out - they were begging the paps to take their pictures. Now they are ABOVE IT!

ITA with all who saw the splash-video — I did not see Mickey at all except the one time he was with Angie. All I saw was a bunch of people pushing, the papz taking pictures and the children all laughing and having a good time, and one irate parent I guess who’s railing at the “foreigners”. So I guess Karishma’s demand for Angelina to apologize is a little premature, don’t you think?

Jeannified @ 11/16/2006 at 3:16 pm

Love her!!!

Just Sayin,

She isn’t above the law nor is any other celeb, but look at the video before you just take everything someone else has said at face value.

Thinker,

I think it’s funny how you note our bullishness, however, skip over when detractors bully themselves. From the way it seems to me there are times when each side acts a bit crazy. I guess at times we all need to grow up, however, if I’m called stupid (like I and others who are fans were called yesterday by Ritzygal, for no reason) then I won’t take it lying down.

You can call me a bully if you wish.

Thanks Jared & Audrey @ 11/16/2006 at 3:17 pm

That video is off the hook! How in the hell can only one person, one of AJ’s guards at that be the only one being accused of shoving?! It was damn mayhem the likes I only see on the evening news. It’s nuts! Them mofo’s rushed through that gate..stampeded thourht the gate all grinning and ****. Hell no, they needs to run this **** on the evening news and lets see who the hell caused this mess. Brad was probably off his head pissed when he saw this “if he did” but Angelina was calm and cool per the norm.

Just saying, you know nothing. I hope you apologize for your stupid posts, when it turns out that the story was not true, or largely exaggarated. And no, Brad and Angie never begged the paps for taking pics. Aniston is the one to inform the paps and the police that she is coming. You do remember the LAX fiasco, don’t you? When Aniston called the police, because ten paps wanted to make a pics after Huvane tipped them to go there? Oh, but it’s ok for you, if Aniston causes chaos just for PR reasons. You don’t demand Aniston to apologize for the inconvenience caused to other passengers by the unnecessary police escort.

Amaya - hi. how are you? thank you for the link to Stephen’s pictures. I get most of news online too.

Observer 2 - I know what you mean. Unfortunately, people rather believe lies and fabrications becausee it suits their own opinions rather than the facts.

lula29- congrats on your new Job! =) Maybe I’ll become less skeptical of the media too knowing that there are people like you in the media who believe in not propagating lies to the readers.

Thanks Jared & Audrey Says - I don’t know how balanced I come across…I just know that there are many perspectives to one story and I was just sharing mine. Glad that enjoyed reading it. Don’t worry, I know what you mean about not blaming everyone for the fault of a few. The thing that bothers me the most is that even thought the truth trickles out later and the media is proven wrong..yet they never acknowledge the corrections to the story and people end up believing the original story, even though half of them are probably filled with half-truths.

———————————————————-

I also think the Mumbai media is angry at Angelina because many of the media people were left out of the press conference and they were angry about not getting access inside where the conference was taking place.

A story from CNN-IBN said:

“Meanwhile, certain sections of the media are incensed for not having been invited them to Jolie’s maiden press conference at a city hotel on Thursday evening.

In spite of a huge media contingent which landed at a five-star hotel in South Mumbai after learning of the press conference, only selected mediapersons were allowed to enter the venue.

Hotel officials said the producers of the film, for which the actress is in India, wanted only a section of the media to be present at the press conference here.

When majority of the media contingent was not allowed to enter the venue, they protested with the hotel authorities but to no avail.”

You can see the video of the incident in splashnews. It’s a total chaos, you can see one of the parents gesturing the cameraman to come forward, and then there were a lot of pushing. I see no violent gesture from the policeman. The guy who claimed “This foreigner has pushed us” was the same guy who pushed another Indian man along with five other people, plus the other person was grabbing the man’s jaw. I dont understand Indian language, maybe someone else can explain what happened?

I say nothing about Aniston because Aniston is a nothing to me. That has nothing to do with what I posted. I just think ALL CELEBS should think of the other people around them and their safety instead of just their own safety. This Mickey character has many times attacked photographers over a picture - He’ll soon become one of Brangelinas biggest liabilities. Actually he already is. Please dont misunderstand - I realize they need security in case of harm or abduction but over a picture?? That is putting one persons desire for privacy above other peoples safety and that is absolutely WRONG! I hope I made myself a bit more clear, I think everyone should have some sense of privacy but in the case of celebs I believe it has gotten way out of hand - meaning the length they will go to - to preserve their privacy. Please dont make this into some stupid argument involving Brads Ex-wife - She is not someone I even care to discuss.

++++++++

Sorry to laugh at you, but…come on…”bloody Indians” and “bloddy Muslims” ARE NOT RACIAL SLURS! Here’s an example of a racial slur - I work at a medical school and the Indian physicians are referred to as LBD’s by the racist twits around here. What’s an LBD? Little Brown Doctor. THAT is a racial slur. “Bloody Indians” is like saying “damned Indians” of “F###ing Indians”. Maybe “bloody” is a a racial slur in India, but in most of the rest of the world it’s just a minor cuss word. And the last time I checked people born in India are “Indians”.

Karishna, Just Saying.. and all the rest of you that have come your to tell us about your outrage against Angelina without knowing the full facts, I hope you will come back now and appologize for your stupidity and for spreading lies against them through the internet.

Thank you to whoever posted the Splash Video link. Non of Angelina’s people were even near the chaos, instead I saw Indian people in police uniform trying to keep control, but the story will not be the same if it does not have Angelina’s name attached to it. Like most of their fans have learned to wait for the truth to come out, it never looks anything like the first headline.

Stardust, that was a great post in response to Linda, that is why they always look stupid because a BAMZS fan can always defend their point of view or their post, but the cowards just post and run.

Lula29- congratulations on your new job. Of course Ritzy does not have access to anything, she just has an illusion of grandeur.

Just Sayin,

Mickey wasn’t involved. Look at the video.

Just Saying, I do not see Mickey ANYWHERE near where the chaos is taking place in the splash video. The only time he is seen is when Angie is coming outside the building and he is there behind her. Blame Mickey for other incidents if you like but leave him out of this one until you know for certain that he did something to somebody.

Alexanderina @ 11/16/2006 at 3:56 pm

lula29:November 16th, 2006 at 2:46 pm

Congratulations lula29 on your new job.

Just saying, have you seen Mickey himself attacking the parents and the children? Have you seen the Splash video? People were grinning there why some of them pushing, and let me tell you, they all seemed Indians to me. I haven’t seen Angie’s guards there. So again: please stop with the premature judging amd come back after waching the video.
And in India, people like to throw themselves under a car, if a foreigner is sitting in it, so to demand money for the “accident”. People are really poor there, that’s why.

And celebs do have a right to their privacy. This part of your post I disagree the most.

Is there a Suri thread at JJ? Because I would like to comment, that this unphotoshopped, unpolished Suri is nothing to be crazy about. A baby is never ugly, but she is absolutely nothing special. And her hair is not the same as in the VF. Which means that her pic was shamelessly photoshopped.
I really can’t decide whether I would like Brad and Angie to attend the GMD’s wedding. I incline to say not that wedding. It’s just media circus for nothing. Or for reviving Tom’s career.

Is it at all possible that over there where KARISHMA LIVES and is watching the whole thing on tv - she may be getting the truth and we over here are getting the diluted version??. And passing through - do you really not believe she has the right to say what she’s saying? What do you find wrong with what she has said? She sounds to me like a Brangelina fan (who also loves her country and heritage) that is very disappointed - not some raving loonie. I think that some of you guys are so quick to call bullshit on things that have happened in the past that you just brush it all under the carpet or just scream “hater” or “faniston”. It doesnt make you look very intelligent when you dont address the real discussion at hand and just shoot insults. Im not trying to start a fight - but she has every right to feel the way she does. Im an American and if the same thing happened here I would feel and say the same. Remember when Sienna Miller was here and called Pittsburgh “SHITSBURGH”?? THEY WERE READY TO STRING HER SCRAWNEY ASS UP!! And I believe rightfully so. You DONT go to someone elses country and call them nasty names and expect to get away with un-scathed. If Angelinas camp did or said those things SHE OWES THEM AN APOLOGY and she should fire them! If not she will wind up with real egg on her face considering how she promotes herself. She is responsible for her camp whatever they do. Silence is a huge form of approval.

All I could see were a bunch of Indians arguing and pushing. Didn’t see any children in the mix.

I think they might be going to the wedding after all. Oprah didn’t get invited. I wonder if that is because they are going? What do you guys and gals think? Have a great day everyone!
++++++++++

ROTFL. Now there’s something I hadn’t considered…that Okra didn’t get an invite because TC thinks Brad and Angie will come if she’s not there. I can see Cruise’s brain working in that way, but B/A don’t give a rip about Okra’s friendship with X. If they wanted to go, they’d go regardless of whether or not she’s there. And they wouldn’t snub her in public…like Cruise just did!

About Suri’s pictures _ Wow that really show you just how much airbrushing they did to those Vanity Fair pics. She looked cuter in the vanity fair photoshoot. And tomkat are waltzing through Rome acting as though they’re some kind of royalty.

******************************************
Look at the first word of your post. IF. If, if, if. We don’t know if her body guards were even truly involved, and while I can’t view the video, there are people here who are saying it looks more incriminating for the locals than for anyone else.

And you say they should just live with all the papparazzi? They should just constantly allow them to take as many pictures of them as they wish? I don’t think so. You mentioned Princess Diana. Well Diana found out the hard way that stopping and letting them photograph you, giving them a few pictures was never enough. When her boys were younger, she would stop and allow a few photos, then politely ask them to leave…..and they never would. They would follow her everywhere, not even allowing her space to move in some cases. I’m sorry, but celeb or not, every person deserves to at least be able to walk down the street or through a resturant without a trail of people behind you wanting pictures.

Angie got crowded up against a wall in a NYC hotel when she was early in her pregnancy with Shiloh. She was in a hotel lobby and was going to allow a few photgraphs, and it quickly got out of control. The paps went into some kind of feeding frenzy, getting closer and closer to her, despite being asked to step back and give her some space. Poeple were pushing from the back, and it was kinda scary to watch it. Angie wound up ducking into the elevator quickly because she was getting pushed into the wall, and nobody got any pictures. It’s been proven over and over that you can’t give an inch with these guys, they always take a mile and want even more.

Maybe Brad is being a bit over-protective of his new family, I’ll give you that, but to suggest that they shouldn’t try to avoid pappy intrusion is kinda silly and unrealistic. If they allow them to get close and have more access to them, the next thing you know, they’ll be trying to get into their home and hiding in the shower. We don’t live their lives and we don’t know what that kind of scrutiny is like. Hell, if I thought I couldn’t scratch my butt or pick my nose without a picture of it winding up on the cover of a tabloid, I might want someone like Mickey around me, too.

Just drop it already. Karishna did not see anything else. You have made your point and other people have posted link that shows your point of view is just baloney. You will keep pushing the issue until someone gives a cyber ***** slap and then you will whine about fans here being bullish, quit while you are ahead. The story is not credible, at best it is overly exaggerated as I suspected it will be, at worst, it is hysteria from the likes of you that want to crucify Angelina for the crime you think she has commited against humanity.

^ Just Sayin Please, when have you ever known the media to sugar coat anything to help out brad and angelina. From what i can see in the video there wasn’t an american in sight yet angelina is getting blamed. Furthermore if it was mickety who had ruffed up those people his name would have been in every newspaper throughout the world, the obviously know who he is from the other incident. so i highly doubt it was him. Secondly the only bodyguard that angelina has on her payroll is Mickey. the others were hired by the production company in india so maybe you should write them a rant and tell them they should apologize for their workers instead automatically assuming that they were hired by angelina herself.

Just saying, you are no better than a Faniston, whatever you claim lol. You are still judging prematurely and in an immature way. And how do you know Kasmir or whoever wrote the truth? I’m not even sure she is Indian lol, really, how do you know? How do you know she really saw something on TV? But there is a Splash video which exists, so again, go and watch it before you continue your crusade. Good luck lol.

Girls, I just wanted to say that I’ve bought the imfamous VF with Brad on the cover, you know which one. So now I’m hiding under a rock, I know I’m guilty but I can’t help it…..

————————————————

Lol. Patience is a virtue..atleast that’s what I tell my impatient self.

That woman isn’t a true a Colbert fan to say that crap! Lol. Even a portrait within a portrait of Stephen is hotter than a half-naked JA. She’s always looks like a cold, frigid you know what to me.

PT that opinion is really from a guy, a reader of GQ, it has his name on it and address on the comment section of the magazine, next issue after the huvane spin-off. I think it was posted here in JJ’s last year??? during the height of Jennifer’s pity parties, right after gracing GQ’s cover “man of the year”.

OT Suri, she looks just like Tom.

Stardust….Ya know…I’m now really questioning her Colbert fangirl status. Yeah, she’s (the woman) bi but come on…Stephen’s wonky ear alone is sexier than JA could ever be. There are things about Stephen that make him hotter than JA. New List!
1. He’s funny because he can write and perform his own material.
2. Saturday Night Live actually hired him.
3. He has a heavenly singing voice, I used to watch Friends so I know that she doesn’t.
4. He can also do drama. I saw his guest starring appearance on Law and Order and he was amazing.
5. He can dance.
6. He can tumble!
7. He has mucho b*lls because of his performance at White House Correspondents dinner.
8. He’s smart.
9. He looks hotter shirtless
10. His eyes and smile are perfection…damn, Evelyn is so lucky.

Well like I’ve said this before, if someone lives in California get a flu it’s AJ fault for sneezing in India. So if I had an itch in my ars*s can I blame AJ?

Ok about Suri… she’s a cute baby and all (course all babies are cute) but… I’m biased and still think Shiloh is way cuter heh! :p But that’s just me so… pray continue with the regular topic

Amaya - I had no idea that he could tumble. Honestly, what more could you ask for? That chick is crazy to even compare those two in the first place. To compare Stephen to JA is doing big disservice to him and his hotness! And atleast his quirks make him hot, not annoying. Lol. I can’t say the same about her.

Mediterrenean,

ITA. I didn’t say that Brad the man is the sole reason of Angelina’s happiness LOL. She has gone through self-discovery and self-realization long before Brad came into the picture–if anybody more influential to her life, it was probably Maddox. She said Maddox changed her, he “made me a woman”, making her GROW UP to be a responsible and giving adult. I would say that Brad saw this woman, and I truly think they “matched”, their life goals, interests, stature in business, all of it. They fit like a puzzle. Brad did change her mind in having a biological child. She saw that Brad wanted one, and as charitable as she is (saying one biological child means one less she could adopt), she did see that charity does starts at home :)

I’m partial to Shiloh, too, but not because I like her parents so much…..no, no, my bias towards blondie, baldy, pinky-pale babies is because my two boys looked just like that as babies, so yes, you could say I am partial. ;)

If her bodyguards did do ANY OF WHAT WEVE HEARD she ABSOLUTELY IS RESPONSIBLE - NO QUESTION! And she should WANT to apologize!! This idiot Mickey is completely out of control

Please point out Mickey in the crowd. I don’t see him.

And why do people automatically blame Angelina for everything? Give me a break already. Its not her fault. Those people were pushing to get in. People are saying the parents were trying to get in and they were manhandled. Yeah the guys with the huge cameras barging in on the school were fathers picking up their daughters lol really I’m not stupid.

But since we are in a Angelina blaming mood. I didnt finish my work today, Im blaiming Angelina for that. THanks AJ feels good to put responsiblity on someone else. Now I know the great high JA must feel when she blames others.

I’ve watched the video 3 times, I don’t see AJ and her bodyguard involved in this craziness at all. End of story. Next?

Is it at all possible that over there where KARISHMA LIVES and is watching the whole thing on tv - she may be getting the truth and we over here are getting the diluted version??

^^^

Is it possible for you to read Stardusts post about her knowledge of the Indian press as someone who IS from there? I think you’re only opened to seeing one view of it and thats the view showing Angelina in a bad light. It has to be because you aint even tryin to entertain any other scenerio.

update of this week mag

Star mag– talk about visit to orphanage..

They (jolie/pitt) brought 15 giant bags of toys as well as a baby walker for the 65 children. “There is so much variety that they have given us”, the director tells STAR, ” There are puzzles, musical toys, battery operated toys, baby clothes, crayons, colorful balls.”

people—Georgoe Clooney talked a bit about Brad and Angie. He said he would rather fly with Angie any minute. He said he was watching ET, saw Brad bounced on the tarmac a few times. He then tole Brad , the next day, that he would not sit in the same plane with him. But he added that Brad has since improved.

Life and Style—has a pic of Brad (remember we saw the video at splash.com, that Brad was carrying Shiloh?), the mag has a clearer pic of Brad. In his pocket, has a TEDDY BEAR !!!!

a pic of Aniston shopping at Barney (retail therapy), the same pic at Perezhilton, showing the black dress and a red bra inside.

Us mag–has a page of “if star run for the country”. It said ( a couple sentences only) that Jennifer Aniston would be good as press secretary because she is good at spinning.

Also, a pic of Aniston went to see a play. The title of play is ” Little American *****”. It’s directed by her pal, Kathy Najimy.

a pic of Aniston shopping at Barney (retail therapy), the same pic at Perezhilton, showing the black dress and a red bra inside.

Maxim—Angie is the cover page. a 2 page article, talking about a mother, wife, actress, activist. also gives the URL of the UN sites that she is involved in.

ITA with you ladies, I’m sure they will think of something to blame her….may be because of her, their zits are too big on their noses, their pimples are too tough to pop and their french fries are not greasy enough today because AJ’s at French fries yesterday and used all the oil, so now there are veggie oil shortest….etc…etc…etc…

Dragonfly- I’m partial to Shi, Z and Maddox too… ;)

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

So there’s an interview/article with it? Yay! A new Angie interview! This should tide us over until the Jan Vogue, which I hope will be a nice long interview.

Vanity Fair mag—there is still mag on the shelf. the grocery store usually 3-4 copies . The grocery store is big, with Starbucks, bank, and pharmacy.

at Barnes and Noble, there are plenty copies of VF

Dragonfly—-Angie is on the cover of Maxim. Dec issue is out already.

BCBG- loved GC’s comments, who would not want to be with AJ?…. :)
he’s a smart man.

thanks BCBG for all the updates. Poor Brad..first Angie made fun him for not having a pilot licence in Britain and now George tells he won’t ride with him. lol.

dragonfly Says:

My biased to Shiloh really has nothing to do with AJ and BP either. I had one of those bald headed baby dolls with full puffy cheeks and cries when pinch it’s belly, the one you put in mini strollers and lug around during (my)kindergarten days. My favorite till about I started noticing boys and climbing trees lol. Even now with an eye and a couple of limbs missing it’s still lovingly stored in my mom’s garage. Nothing to do with Brad and Angie at all.

Ok I saw the video and damn that was crazzzyyy. The media totally decontextualized the whole thing.

I just saw the video, what a mess! I can’t wait till they get out of India for good.

Thanks Jared & Audrey @ 11/16/2006 at 5:30 pm

OT

I thought this was kinda deep because it made me think of Brad and his past.

——-

J.Lo’s ex lover BEN AFFLECK has admitted their engagement was a huge mistake.

Their high profile relationship ended in 2004, just months after they were due to marry - a wedding that was called off at the last moment.

He said: “I should never have got engaged and never gone down that route.

(everything below really did made me think of BP.)

“I thought I wanted certain things, but I didn’t. I got lost and felt suffocated, miserable and gross.

“I had to smile for the cameras, but I was really in turmoil. I was no longer in control of my life and I didn’t know which way to turn.

“I felt like a hamster in a cage. The faster my legs went, the less distance I seemed to travel.”]

Yeah, I know, I guess I didn’t make it clear in my post what I responding to. I am just glad there is an interview with this, because I thought there might not be, considering some people said the picture was older. It’ll probably be just a little sound-byte interview like Brad’s for Esquire (which I was disapppointed in, frankly), but it will be an appetizer for the Jan Vogue, which I seriously hope will have a nice looooong old school Angie interview.

Estelle, yes, I was not saying I was partial to Shiloh over Mad & Z, just over Suri. I can’t believe that kids actually looks like Tom, but I have admit she does. I guess they found a donor with a resonable resemblance. No wonder Tom is so happy and pleased with himself. I hope Brad & Angie do not go to his wedding. If they do, then I hope they never make it to the ceremony because they were too busy checking out the matress in the their hotel room.

love the hair…:) and by the way felt kinda sad brad didn’t make it to top in the sexiest man alive poll. i really do think he deserves the top spot. hmmmm anyway, i think people envied them so much that’s why they get criticism left and right. godbless to you both ange and brad love yah mwahz :)

Gitane - I was going to say anything, but George sure does keep with all the entertainment news doesn’t he? He mentioned how doesn’t pay attention to the gossips, but he talked about that story with the Deal or No Deal girl and now admits to watching ET. George protests too much. I think likes knowing about all the entertainment gossip. lol. It’s okay George..you can admit it.

kissy girl @ 11/16/2006 at 5:35 pm

Initial reports about the school fracus are disturbing but so often turn out to be embellished. I don’t know if Mickey was involved but if he was…good on him. I for one am thrilled that Angie has Mickey. That guy would take a bullet for her…and so what if he roughs up someone on the sideline here or there. How’s the guy to know who is who and what their motives are? He’s out to protect his boss come hell or high water. I love him for that!!!!

ROTFL. Now there’s something I hadn’t considered…that Okra didn’t get an invite because TC thinks Brad and Angie will come if she’s not there. I can see Cruise’s brain working in that way, but B/A don’t give a rip about Okra’s friendship with X. If they wanted to go, they’d go regardless of whether or not she’s there. And they wouldn’t snub her in public…like Cruise just did!

————————————————————————————————
ITA PT, I don’t think Brad and Angie give a damn that Okra is friend with the X either, I think that they have better things to do that worry about the X and her friendship with Okra, and what Crazy Tom did to Okra by not giving her to his circus of a wedding was really cold, and Okra knows that she was hurt that she did not get an invite to the “so called wedding of the year” so playing off like its no big deal to her is stupid. I wonder if she is going to have Tom back on her Show, I bet she will and they are all going to make nice, like it was no big deal.
BTW: I don’t think Brad and Angie are going to Tomkat’s wedding

hi angelah *kampay* , have to catch a wink, was having sleeping trouble, and parked myself here awhile. 6:36 am here would you believe? please mind the carabaos while i’m out lol. The wildlife has gone rampaging a while ago. I’m going out and grabbing some hot pandesal and hot cocoas, want some?

Look, I know that its not a popular opnion, BUT, brad and angelina NEED to buy a house, farm, range, whatever, in some place way from US (Autralia or Canada or holand) and just stay there for 6 months.
They are overexposed, its just insane, there are some places with less paparazzi,

Life and Style—has a pic of Brad (remember we saw the video at splash.com, that Brad was carrying Shiloh?), the mag has a clearer pic of Brad. In his pocket, has a TEDDY BEAR !!!!
____________
I’m so happy to see Brad diving into fatherhood.

Oh, I wish someone can scan that pic, with a Teddy Bear sticking out of his pocket while carrying Shiloh. Must be Shiloh’s bear !!!!!

-Oh, everyone, go see BABEL, if you havent done so.

It is a really good movie. I am not a spoiler. But I want to say what struck my mind is that when Cate was in pain, the old woman gave her something to “puff”. After Cate took one puff , she wanted more. It must be morphin which can deaden the pain. Reminds me the danger of drug addiction.

I also feel bad for the Mexican nanny. She is a good woman. She really takes good care of the children. It’s just so unfortunate that she had to be deported. All she did was going to her son’s wedding. But sometimes, things happen which is beyond her control.

see BABEL !!!!!!

I know that they went to Namibia and the media followed them, but she was pregnant at the time, they wanted to see the baby, now after two months they would let them in peace.

But the media is following them in India too. They’ve seen Shiloh, they’ve seen all the kids, yet they stalk them in India too. Where could they possibly go to get some peace? The papzs follow them everywhere.

Sorry i messed up my post… did i say sleeping trouble??? i mean trouble sleeping geez. I reread my post and I can’t even understand it lol, sorry guys my english has gone haywire without sleep, thank god the spelling and grammar patrol aren’t here, or I’d be in serious trouble. yuk! k i’m out.

Well Brad did said that they will be there for another 2 weeks, so they should be leaving at the end of this week. I hope.

ploypaphat @ 11/16/2006 at 5:55 pm

BAMZS please get out of that COUNTRY!!!

TOMKAT is planning a gazillion dollar wedding and people/paps are still fixated on BP and AJ. Go figure. As usual, anything related to AJ and this Movie has been blown out of context and sensationalized by the media. That splash video tells a major part of the story and AJ and her bodyguard were no where near the chaos. BP and AJ are living their lives with their children. It is the media, fans and critics that are invading their lives. They can retreat to an Island and the paps will still stalk them. I admire them for trying to have some type of normal life in the midst of the madness surrounding them. Maddox and Zahara seem to take it all in stride, knowing that their Parents are there to protect them and love them.
Two years later and haters and critics are still harping on the same old song. JA fans cannot let go of the Golden couple and it drives them mad to see how happy BP and AJ are. They thought that their careers would be over by now but they are more popular and sucessful than ever. Peace.

also on people, has a full page photo of Brad. nice pic. also there is a quote of him about fatherhood. I believe the quote is when he was interviewing with Ann Curry in New Orleans.

mag also talk about B Walters “looking back” (?) going to be on TV. B Walters said these past few years, Brad has been very serious. But she has a segment on O11 back in 2001, talking about the light side of Brad. I guess we will have to watch her on TV.

that’s all I remember, i only allow myself 10 minutes per mag. so i have to flip thru it really fast.

Just Sayin,

The Splash footage is raw unedited video footage. Meaning, there is no additional commentary added, nor anything added to or edited out.

Go look at the footage since you’re so vehement about it. You want people to see your side without you doing any research.

True I disbelieved Kashima (I spelled that wrong) but I also took the time to read the article found about it and the video footage taken of the event. My conclusion stands.

Her people weren’t involved and unfortunately it reflects poorly on India. Indian officials were trying to restrain the crowd as they were intent on mobbing Jolie while she was filming. Mickey was not involved at all.

Just Sayin, I think what you are doing and saying is completely unfair. You might not be an Aniston fan, but you obviously aren’t objective in any case.

click viddo
1st row, 1st column

look at the video. the crowd and even the policemen are all Indians. Micky is not there at all. Jolie was inside when the policeman was pushing the crowd away. When Jolie came out, there was NO disorder. I studied the video 3 times.

For people who keep blaming India for any bad press against Brangelina, you have to understand… INDIA IS A POOR COUNTRY. It has SOME economic upsides, but it’s still a poor country. India cannot afford to even control their own government, taxes and police. All the people in India, they are not living like you and I, even if it seems that way for some people. You keep saying that Indians should not be badgering Brangelina with photos or that the press is out of control with their negative articles on them. They don’t know any better. YES, there are bad sides to India. Of course there is. In fact, it’s like going into a ghetto, to be quite honest with you. But there are alot of other great things about India. And when you experience the other sides of India, you’re never going to forget it. You won’t regret it. You just have to accept certain things about India, and instead try to enjoy other aspects of it. Even though there are alot of technological and medical beakthroughs there, India is still primitive. Some of the people are primitive. And when you go into a primitive area like that, you can’t expect to have things go the way it would in other countries.

Hey Tom & Katie get mad props from me for not inviting Oprah!! Heeee. I hope he invited Ludacris instead, he can’t stand Ho’prah either. LOL :-D …and yeah Alexanderina, I loved how O tried to play it off like it was no big deal…you KNOW she would have loved to gab about it to the world.

Thanks for the post about Ben Affleck. What he said reminds me of the same feeling that Brad must have had during the last 3 years of his marriage. But I’m happy for him now. Every time I see Brad carrying the children, it reminds me (I just cant help it) that Jennifer Aniston must have starved him the joy of fatherhood.

I can’t stand Ben Affleck.. He is nothing like Brad

Thanks for doing that BCBG (checking out that vid footage in question, in detail), I knew it had to be something like that.

I will never forget what it was like to be at TIFF when Indian stars SRK (that’s what his nickname is - his initials) and another older distinguished actor from India who is a huge star (also named Khan) was there - it was mayhem and madness, the crowd would not listen, they’d pretend to nonchalant prior to anyone showing up at the venue, but then when a whiper that they were coming got out, they’d immediately start screaming and pushing and shoving and going nutso.

Seriously, not too much unnerves me but that kind of unbridled fandom was spooky.

I told you guys before, though Brad had bigger crowds that were going crazy - it was a happy chilled out crazy….the Indian film’s premiere was mayhem.

So I don’t even need to see the vid to know exactly what was going on.

I can’t stand Ben Affleck.. He is nothing like Brad

^^

Never said he was. His description of his relationship with J-lo made me think of Brads past., not him….his past.

Btw, count me among the people (and there are a LOT) that think what Ben is doing now talking about J.Lo and their relationship is pretty tacky and crass.

It reminds me of Traniston and her constant alluding to BP and the break up.

As far as I’m concerned, you can say what you will about J.Lo, but when girlfriend moves on, she MOVES ON…she has nothing to say about anything, and nothing bad to say about anybody either —

– she even wished Brad and Jen #2, best wishes when they had their baby (unlike some bitter b*****s who cannot move on and continue to hold grudges and leech off other’s fame).

Affleck going on and on about how miserable he was when he was with her is classless, and by contrast, Lopez has been a class act about all of it. He has not.

Rinil,

I don’t blame India. From the looks of the event the whole mess shouldn’t have even made news.

From what I’ve seen of India I really want to visit. Everyone I’ve known who’s been there thinks India is a beautiful country. I used to work for a small company and my boss and his family were from India and would bring me back presents everytime they visited. I watch bollywood films too (admitedly the most mainstream ones, but hey I’m trying to catch up) so I’ve been interested in India for a while, and this little event won’t change my interest.

I meant no disrespect to India at all. I don’t tend to judge an entire country on an incident involving a few.

I compared what Karishma post to the splash video. Karishma was fabricating the entire post. Her post is full of holes. She assumed this and that. The video clearly did not show Jolie was there. She was inside filming. Look at the face (color) of the crowd.

I dont have a good gut feeling of Karishma. Her intent is obvious. !!!! In fact, I wont be surprised that she was the “jen” who used to post here, the jen who said Z had “development problems”, the same jen who was paid by the Aniston camp.

as an artsy film, i think BABEL will do better compare to ‘friends with money”. I have to compare apple with apple, since both are artsy film.

“friends with $”, total , is 17M (domestic and foreign)
BABEL so far is 16 M (domestic and foreign) but BABEL just opened last week.

I loved Babel. It really makes you feel so may emotions. I have seen it twice. Once with girlfriends, once with my husband. But I want to see it one more time all by myself.. I found myself hoping everyone else was feeling it, getting it. lol.. I just want to focus on it all alone. ! :)

oops. should read Many not may emotions.

I have to agree Ben Affleck should stop talking. He’s so not a gentleman. To think Gwyneth went from Brad to Ben… That’s a step way down. I wonder what Lainey thinks about Ben?

African Girl @ 11/16/2006 at 7:25 pm

Hello Again,
Stardust, thank you for bring a little rationality into this situation. One would think after all this months the hateful rants will not be as shocking but as I read these posts, I have to ask….again, Why are people so quick to think the worst of AJ? Seriously, what has she done to deserve this magnitude of disdain…I am really baffled by this.

Fine, she had a past….a past we know about because SHE spoke about it. Like any thinking person, she realized she was going the wrong path and she changed, became a mother to a child, who only God knows would have become of him. She became a UN ambassador just to help others….when she could have been doing anything else. She is not afraid to talk about issues eventhough there’s a possibility she would be mocked. She gives a portion of her income to those in need when she is not obligated to. Why, it would be less of a headache if she didn’t give at all, is she partied all day long and stayed in her comfort zone. From where I stand, this is definately not the easiest route to take for good PR as some people say. I don’t want to believe all this hate is because of a divorce….because divorce isn’t something new. So why…..I mean the way these people carry on, you’d think AJ is a serial killer. It’s just ridiculous.

Anyway, thanks Bamzs fans and please let’s try to keep a cool head in face of this negativity.

“Jolie, That’s Crew-d Behaviour”

The police had to escort out Angelina Jolie and her crew shooting a scene for A Mighty Heart from the Anjuman-i-Islam school premises near CST, after parents, angered by alleged insults from team members, protested and forced the filming to stop.

During the afternoon shift, parents found that the shooting hampered students’ entry into their classrooms. School buses that normally drop the children inside the school compound had to leave the children near J J School of Arts yesterday.

Mohammad Hassan, a Dongri resident and Parents Teachers Association (PTA) member who had brought his two sons, who study in standards IV and VII, said, “There are eight school buses and each vehicle has 40 to 45 students. Hundreds of children had to trek through the footpath to the school and there was a huge commotion at the gates.”

(pictured) Protesting parents (left) at the Anjuman-i-Islam; Angelina Jolie, Irrfan Khan and other crew members make their way out of the school.

Angry parents voiced their concern. “They should have permitted the shoot during the weekend or a holiday when the school is shut,” said Ayesha Khan, mother of a class III student. She added that set members and bodyguards were abusive.

Shama Parvez, mother of two girls of class I and III, said, “There were men in uniform carrying guns. The guns were of course fake guns but the children were frightened.”

Finally, faced with protesting parents, the team left after nearly three hours in the campus.

Later, PTA members met school officials to register their protests. A trustee of Anjuman-i-Islam said that parents had filed complaints at the Azad Maidan police station. “We had given permission for the shooting. It was a misunderstanding between parents and the film team that caused the problem,” the trustee said.

African Girl @ 11/16/2006 at 7:34 pm

Just saying
And we’re just supposed to take Karishma’s word that she is in india? In that case, I am typing from Italy and I am watching the TomKat craziness on TV right now. Oh my! The pushing…the shoving it’s horrible…..it’s Horrible!!!

Hey people did you see the december issue of maxim? There is a competition whos hotter if its Angelina or Borat. Borat is funny but i definitely vote for AJ because she’s hot and sexy. Votes are too close so vote now!!!!
Here is the link:

http://www.popsugar.com

No, I truly believe that Karishma is an Indian from India, living in India. I am Indian-American and by how Karishma was speaking in the post, the grammar was exactly like how Indians speak English sometimes from India. Not perfect, but different from other imperfect grammar. Asian people have that too. Same with Europeans. Same with certain people from different areas of America. Karishma was defintely from India.

Just Sayin,

Mickey wasn’t involved. Look at the video.

+++++++++++

I’m slowly getting through the thread and I’ve got to say that this whole brouhaha is only happening because the people at the school mislabelled the security detail by referring to them as “Jolie’s bodyguards”. Those people weren’t AJ’s “bodyguards”. From what I’ve been able to gleen from all the stories since they’ve been in India - Brad & Angie have 4, that’s FOUR, personal security men with them, with Mickey being Angie’s watchdog.

In the video, Mickey is with Angie and so is the really tall guy who’s been in a lot of the recent photos. The two of them seem to be assigned to Angie. When we saw Brad at the airport when he returned to Pune there was a short, muscular bald guy and another guy with him. That’s it - that’s their 4 PERSONAL BODYGUARDS. The rest of the security team belongs to the production unit. They’re not B/A’s bodyguards.

So here’s my problem with these news stories - if the SECURITY DETAIL was roughing up people and slapping kids…there were more parents there than guards…why didn’t they just beat the crap out of the guards? It’s stupid. When you outnumber the guards, just stampede them! Even if they have guns…they can’t shoot everybody without stopping to reload a few times and by then the crowd has the advantage! Sheesh. There’s a 1.2 BILLION people in India…and 4 bodyguards. I rest my case.

It is GOOD to see your posts again. I enjoyed reading every word…every sentence of it.

It does not matter if Karishma is in India now and posting from India.
She was not in the children’ school, when it happened.
It is about how objective a person is regarding news.
To me, she is very biased.

the pics from Tres Jolie!!! - thanks JJ you rock as always :)

What I am curious about, Passing Through, is that anytime a fiasco is printed in the press, the celeb’s publicist will answer to that. So, how come there was never a response by Cindy G. (Brad’s PR person) or anyone else amongst their crew about the accusations that the people were mishandled or verbally abused or any other episode that has happened with them and has been printed in the press. Before Cindy was answering press questions, right and left, but lately not so.

Is it at all possible that over there where KARISHMA LIVES and is watching the whole thing on tv - she may be getting the truth and we over here are getting the diluted version??. And passing through - do you really not believe she has the right to say what she’s saying? What do you find wrong with what she has said? She sounds to me like a Brangelina fan (who also loves her country and heritage) that is very disappointed - not some raving loonie.

Hey ShitzyGal…Been having a field here today with all your aliases, haven’tcha? BUT…just to save “Just Sayin’” the trouble of telling me she’s not you…I’m gonna humor you both and say you’re two different people (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)…

So, regarding your criticism of my post…Could you please point out for me where I said that Karishma wasn’t entitled to her opinion? I didn’t. I just said was laughing at her opinion! If she seriously thinks that the phrases “bloody Indian” and “bloody Muslim” are racial slurs - actually, she’s wrong, only one would be a racial slur, the other is a religious slur - then she’s led a very sheltered life. I’m a black woman living in America…I know a racial slur when I hear one…and sorry, Karishma…but “bloody Indian” ain’t a racial slur. “Bloody darkie”? THAT’S a racial slur. Referring to one’s nationality and prefacing it with the word “bloody” is not. Both you and “Just Saying” (aka ShitzyGal) are entitled to your opinions…incorrect though they are.

There was excitement at the press conference for the Angelina Jolie starrer A Mighty Heart based on the book by Mariane Pearl, wife of the executed Wall Street journo Daniel Pearl on Wednesday. The woman dubbed the world’s sexiest set the room abuzz as she stepped in. Beautiful yes, porcelain like, yes, but how thin! Her arms were very slender, and her veins were showing. Was she, as she claimed, merely in character to portray Mariane Pearl, who was extremely thin during the days the film portrays? Or was there more to it? Though US tabloids have reported rumoured childhood battles with anorexia, Angelina has strongly denied having eating disorders. Regardless, the petite Jolie seemed to radiate confidence, appearing relaxed and cheerful as she answered questions.
Angelina has by now been in India for almost a month, and has had little respite from her hectic shoot schedules in Pune and Mumbai. “Pune was a little relaxed. I love the house where we were shooting. I got a lot of quality time to spend with my family there. That’s probably the best memory I would be carrying with me, from India this time,” she said.

Ok about Suri… she’s a cute baby and all (course all babies are cute) but… I’m biased and still think Shiloh is way cuter heh! :p But that’s just me so… pray continue with the regular topic

No offense to Suri, but Shiloh is definitely the cuter baby. How do I know this? Well…because none of the tabs are writing stories about all the advertising people who are throwing “modeling” offers at Suri beause she’s such a beautiful baby! Doggone it…OUttaTouch says it, so it MUST be true!

Congratulations on the new job. Wish you the very best.

In India, whether it’s fast food or really great home cooked Indian food, the nourishment value is very low compared to the US (hence the fat Americans). When I went to India, I was eating normally (maybe even more, and probably high carbs and fat) but my weight dropped alot. Why do you think there’s so many skinny Indians in India, including the men? Not everyone is starving. My mother said it was because the nourishment value is very low in the food. Lack of vitamins and ingredients and preservatives. In America you have “fortified” bread, for example. Not so much in India.

Also, the hot weather somehow makes you lose weight, plus you are more active in India. Don’t get me wrong though. There are alot of fat and or muscular Indians as well. In fact, the female actors are voluptuous and the male actors are muscular and the rich are very healthy. But middle class and poor are a bit less.

ROTFLMAO. You noticed that, too, huh? Porgie’s a name dropper. He’s always dropping Brad’s name in his interviews. It’s almost like he’s boasting that he’s friends with the football captain/homecoming king. As several people noted yesterday…Porgie has NEVER grown up…he’s emotionally stunted at about age 17.

If Cindy G decides to deny or confirms all the rumors about AJ and BP….the woman won’t get any sleep. Let me quote one of my new friend Nig girl….SILENCE IS THE BEST ANSWER FOR FOOLS. Let the press carry on with their nonsense, AJ and BP know know their truth.

Re: Suri
Cut that baby some slack. There are flashbulbs going off in her face; she is bound to react and not necessarily in a flattering way. I took pics of my baby niece and the flash made her eyes bug and cross, and trust me, my niece is an absolute doll. It would’ve served Suri well to have a blanket shielding her from the lights.

Re: The Angelina Melee
It’s unfortunate that the parents got upset, but the administrators were the ones who authorized access to the movie crew. The administrators should have an idea whether allowing this would bend these parents out of shape.

Re: Brad and the teddy bear
All I can say is ‘Awww…’ Then again, it’s typical of BP to keep baby necessities within reach. Remember last year when he had Zahara in his arms and her baby bottle in his back pocket?

Brangelina’s bullies at it again

The Arizona Republic

Celebrity invasion of India claims new casualties: Brangelina’s militia reportedly roughs up non-adoptable, parent-having children. (Hahahahahahaha)

Angelina Jolie’s bodyguards allegedly knocked around parents and students Thursday at a Mumbai elementary school where the actress was filming A Mighty Heart, the Associated Press reports.

The fracas began when the gates of the Anjuman-e-Islam school, which had been locked during filming, were opened to let the parents fetch their children. advertisement

“This Jolie’s bodyguard called one parent, ‘You bloody Indian,’ ” says Mohammed Yusuf Patni, general secretary of the school’s Parent Teacher Association. “Children were pushed around.” Patni, who has two children studying at the Muslim school, adds “mothers were also shoved aside by the guards.”

Dallington TV, a British production company that organized the shoot, blamed the scuffle on photographers and TV cameramen rushing to get pictures of Jolie.

The scuffle wasn’t the first that security guards have had since Jolie arrived in India last month with Brad Pitt and their three children. In one incident, an Associated Press freelance photographer alleged that security guards protecting Jolie’s movie set in Pune had hit him and threatened him with a gun. A college student also claimed he was struck by a vehicle in Jolie’s motorcade, which fled the scene.

Angelina is thin but not as much as she was around the time when she did Gia..cut her hair really shot and once did a photoshot in which she was wearing some earth-tone dress or the background was “granite”…can’t remember…

she was really really thin.

Right now, I think filming was hectic and since this is her first time as a feeding mom and working mom..I think we should cut her some slack.

What I don’t get is why is it A MUST for Angelina to be answering personal questions at press conference. i.e. her body, pregnancy, relationship with Brad.

I mean for people who never bothered to research her and see the changes/growth that she went through…how dare they ask such questions..

I don’t know how she does it without saying something like:

WTF are you people? you think I never or could never grown up. Are you all still kids but in adult bodies? if you can grow up why not me.

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

Cindy only confirms or denies when she’s told to. That’s the difference. We didn’t hear from her too much when they were in Namibia either. If there’s something that Brad feels is worth the effort of clearing up, then he’ll have cindy do that. Otherwise I don’t think Brad really cares too much what kind of spin the Indian press is putting on things. Stardust has told us that the Indian press have a tendency to over-dramatize or embellish a story and then have to retract it later themselves. I guess Brad knows that, because of the time difference, by the time the story hits the states it’s been so blown out of proportion that a retraction is going to follow quickly anyway. So why waste cindy’s time having her do something that the Indian media is going to have to do anyway? I also think that having her come forward with a statement makes it seem like there was something to the story to begin with. If there’s one thing Brad’s gotten really good at it’s letting a situation blow over and THEN speak his piece if he really feels it’s necessary.

ritzygal. you think this is first time we’ve read that article? Uh no, its been posted on here in one form or another about ten times. Thanks though for spreading your sunshine.

Lynn…
I wish I would have seen it by myself the first time. Oh well tomorrow its just me and Babel
cheers.

The Arizona article is a perfect example of putting “sensationalism” above “real news”.

A.) The motocycle accident - it turned out that that was blown out of proportion. Not my words but the Indian Police said that

B.) The AP story is “alleged”. Btw, why was that reporter expecting when going toward her car. That Angelina will open the window and saw “Hi, how can I help you”.

Why does the media NEVER TAKES RESPONSIBLITY of their part in this MEDIA FRENZY.

it is always Brad and Angelina…never the media.

It is like that kid who doens’t want to share a cake with his friend but want the friend to stay and play.

I am sure the reason children and women and whoever else were “pushed” out of the way by Angelina’s bodygaurds was because THEY WOULDN’T MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! They just stand there. In the West, people like their personal space. In India, there is no such thing. in India, people stare at you and stand in your way and stay close to you, as if there is nothing wrong with it. Not ALL people in India probably do that. But in a way you can look at it as a non-prejudice thing whereas Westerners are a little more prejudice. In the West, people will keep their distance from you and by cultural mannerisms will avoid staring at you, mostly the more polite ones. The ones who lack any smarts at all won’t do that (and I mean in the West). And, trust me, I know, because when I go to Beverly Hills, I’m ok and can go about my business. But when I go to Hollywood, people are all up in my face.

Angelina is great. She is beautiful and has the most beutiful smail ever. :)

I know Angelina doens’t give a **** of what people think of her, but when things like this happen I wish she had a kick ass publicist.

I think the article noted that she cut the reporter off when s/he started to ask questions about her past. I’m just amazed at how many people are hung up on the sh#t she did 8 or 9 years ago when she was 23! How would they like it evertime someone met them they asked about all their past foibles and mistakes? Hell, the woman is 31 years old…she grew up…give her credit for it and move on. That’s the problem with the way the media covers AJ and with the way her detractors perceive her. They spend so much time obsessing over her past that THEY can’t move beyond it, even when SHE clearly has. It’s my fondest wish for someone of these people to become hugely famous, have their pasts dug up and then be asked about it for the next 30 years or so. I can see it now…there’s 50 year-old Angelina accepting her Nobel Peace Prize and at the press conference the reporter asks her, “Mrs. Pitt, do you still play with knives in bed? Did you and your brother still have a sexual relationship? What does Brad think about the vial of Billy Bob’s blood that you used to wear?”

make sure to check the video. about the filming in the school incident
a video cannot lie and tell the full story. Jolie’s bodyguards were NOT there. Pay attention to the people who are raising the hands and voices and the policeman who appear very passive to me.

PT, well said, LOL! On Noble Peace Prize, I don’t think that’s a far fetched future for her.

for ritzygal, she posted this morning already. now she is fueling it. that’s why i question her intent.

Tabloids love to print negative news on anybody but especially Jolie-Pitt, catering to the insatiable appetite of the “Minivan Majority” women who feel ‘they’ themselves (through MISS Aniston) were somehow wronged or cheated by Jolie-Pitts. These resentful women are so hungry for any negative news on Jolie-Pitt, jumping and latching onto any sign of negative news like flees.
