Brad Pitt Takes it to the Court
Brad Pitt was spotted leaving the Mumbai Police Commissioner’s office, in Mumbai, India, earlier this morning. Indian police on Friday arrested three British bodyguards working for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie after they allegedly roughed up parents and students at a Mumbai school where the star was filming scenes for her latest movie, police said. Below: Angelina Jolie’s bodyguard Micheal Brett, center with black t-shirt, being taken to the local court by the Indian police.
UPDATE :: Angelina Jolie addresses the arresting of her bodyguards: “It is not surprising that the press involved failed to mention their share of the responsibility in the chaos. As for this horrible rumor that someone referred to a local man as a ‘bloody Indian,’ let me say this: I would never work with anyone that was derogatory towards another man’s race. My family is of mixed race.”

If her and BP were smart they restaff, quick, or Mickey do a public apology - but that’d be the day.
Bad as all this bull is it just tighten up for me how Brad and Angelina together is the right stuff. This is team business and this how a team supposed to work. They got each other back about everything and didnt neither have that with nobody else that I ever seen. they seem to be able to count on each other with no question and thats damn nice.

brangelina make chaos wherever they go because the media somehow ALWAYS seems to know where they are. hmmm, why is that?
********************************
#1: You are INCREDIBLY stupid.
#2: I know you can’t relate to this because NO ONE on this planet cares about you or where your fat ass goes, but the media STALKS them. Can you get that through your thick skull into your peanut brain?
They are superstars and wherever they go THE TABLOIDS WANT TO KNOW, so the paparazzi FOLLOWS them. Got it?
#3. Drop dead.
That dude in the lite green looks like Oprahs boy Stedmen!
and i think aj and bp are the best - so don’t get me wrong - i just wish they’d deal with this - rumors and all! rumors get started for a reason and there are stars out there (matt damon, george clooney) who seem to steer clear of the limelight ALL of the time.
I’m not sure what you are asking…are you saying that if the parents at the school were indeed mad about the subject matter of the movie and acting out about that, then they aren’t doing anything but reinforcing the violent stereotype that many Americans (wrongfully) believe about Muslims?
I just wanted to clarify before I commented and got your intent incorrect
_____________________________________
I guess what I am asking is why, if the parents disagree with the terrorists..would they care if the school was used? The movie isnt going to be negative against all muslims..only those who believe in what the terrorists do. I presume that those at that school dont believe this way..and would only welcome a movie that showed balance.
When I see or hear them complain and maybe spread false accusations, I wonder about their beliefs.
Obviously Angelina Jolie is taking her bodyguards word instead of believing the people of India who were called, ‘Bloody Indians’ and ‘Bloody Muslims.’ The level of hyprocrisy continues to be stunning. Crazy Pitt/Jolie fans - step into reality.
Below is the news story by the Associated Press. Also, read about how the bodyguards are being charged with ‘insult to religion’ by the BBC.

Jolie bodyguards arrested in India By RAMOLA TALWAR BADAM, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 29 minutes ago
MUMBAI, India - Indian police on Friday arrested three British bodyguards working for Angelina Jolie after they allegedly roughed up parents and students at a Mumbai school where the star was filming scenes for “A Mighty Heart,” police said.

The fracas took place Thursday afternoon when the gates of the Anjuman-e-Islam school, which had been locked during filming, were opened to let parents pick up their children.
M. H. Belose, additional chief metropolitan magistrate, later Friday freed the three bodyguards on bail and asked them not to leave the country for one week. They deposited bail guarantees for $545 each.
Belose also asked the three to report to local police every day for one week.
Witnesses said Jolie’s bodyguards pushed and shoved some of the parents. Police prosecutor N.C. Tambe told the court that the three had upset people by calling them “bloody Indians” and “bloody Muslims.”
If convicted, the three can be jailed for up to three years.
Mahesh Jethmalani, attorney for the British bodyguards, said there was no reason for police to arrest them.
“They have come to India to shoot a film,” Jethmalani told the court, denying claims they were abusive.
Police identified the bodyguards as Thomas McAdam, 47, Robert Dunn, 35, and Michael Brett, 50.
Dallington TV, a British production company that organized the shoot, blamed the scuffle on photographers and television cameramen that it said rushed the school to get pictures of the 31-year-old actress.
It was the latest in a string of confrontations that Jolie’s bodyguards have been involved in since the Hollywood star arrived in India last month to film scenes for the movie about slain American journalist Daniel Pearl.
“A Mighty Heart” is based on a memoir written by Pearl’s widow, Mariane. Pearl, who worked for The Wall Street Journal, was abducted and murdered in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on Islamic militancy.
i’m gonna send mickey a care package complete with a no entry boxers and soap on a rope. do they still make those things?
but enough about my dear mickey, who’s getting much more publicity than ANY bodyguard should have. who are these other two dudes? is one of them that broody beast we’ve seen with brad?
Maniston says (re Shitzygal):
“Didn’t she go on vacation with friends? Aren’t there sights to be seen and whatnot? Or is the girl really in prison and she spends her yard time in the computer lab?” BWA HA HA HA! I find this one of the funniest posts, because it seems so true about our friend ritzygal. Sheesh, if I was on vacation I wouldn’t even go anywhere near a computer — I would leave everything for when I get back.

Just the day before, AJ has a press conference saying MP loves all people, all religions, and all cultures and the world needs a little more of that. Next day, 3 of her bodyguards manhandle parents and children and hurl racial slurs.
This guy (Mickey) is hurting their rep as global humanitarians and champions of children everywhere (true or not). From a PR side, he has got to go!
They can’t be doing their shiny, happy humanitarian thing in front of the camera preaching tolerance, understanding…blah, blah, blah…while their main henchman runs roughshod over various people in differenct countries behind the scenes. If this continues, I hope they both get publicly lambasted for it, and called out to be the hypocrites that they seem to be lately.
Brad’s agreed to talk to the press, so let’s see how he spins this.

Ritzygal, why don’t you just shut up with your stupid comments for once? You keep on saying you are going on vacation but I guess your vacation is too boring and you need BA information to keep you going. Go on your vacation already and stay there for the next six months because we already know all your thoughts on everything BA. You are so annoying.

“You cannot disrespect people in their own country. Americans are fighting bad press everywhere, why institute all this negativity. Their bodyguards have been out of control from the beginning, especially the “psycho”.
The people in India and the national, local and international media have been out of control this whole fiasco. Everyone in India wants money from them. The hotels staffs puts out information on their whereabouts and room numbers, endangering their lives, obviously they are easily bribed by the paps; the school rented out space, more money grubbing, but refuse to organize so that the shoot goes smoothly. Everywhere people want their money but can’t get themselves organized to do their part. The only reason Angelina has been safe at all is because of Mickey. She needs to hire him to be with her at all times. Mickey is worth his weight 100 Xs over in pure gold. No wonder poor Danny Pearl was murdered over there.
—————————————————-
I AGREE DANA. But you can’t control India. That’s the problem and always has been from the very beginning. It’s an overpopulated country where various people have different beliefs, values and opinions on the world. It’s very very hard to control the people of India. They are the most passionate, strong-minded people. And the money grubbing is because India is a poor, uncontrollable country. The people are living in poor conditions, even the ones making some good amount of money, so they will do anything to make a cent. Brangelina are aware of that by now, especially with the beggars everywhere.
Whenever ANY public figure (politicians or bollywood/hollywood celebs) do anything that goes against their beliefs, they will fight for it and fight hard. In fact, there was a very famous Islamic Bollywood actor who caused a riot by doing something close to terrorism, which he didn’t have to do, but wanted to express his belief in his religion. This is a common act amongst people like him. Not the terrorism part. Not in India as much as other parts of the world. But as far as causing a ruckus to stand up for your beliefs.
Either way, Brangelina must have been fully aware of all of this. I don’t know how they feel about all of this, but they have chosen to continue to stay there for over a month. So, it can’t be all bad. They could have moved out of there and gone elsewhere to finish shooting the movie. They know the problems that will arise. So, they feel they can deal with it, I suppose.
Maniston,Girl you are killing me!!!!”Or is the girl in prison and she spends her yard time in the computer lab?”LMAO!!!!!
Pitt Protection out of control, the Pitts in NO?
Interesting the contrast, don’t you think?
On the one hand, the smiling Scientologists grinning away, a thousand celebrities in tow, happy to primp for the cameras, on the other, the Pitts in India causing a stink, or at least their overzealous security team.
Just a few weeks ago, one manhandler put a photographer in a chokehold, yesterday they created controversy at a local school, apparently blocking parents from entering the facility to pick up their children, and reportedly even knocking down a student as well.
Needless to say, many parents were furious, lodging complaints with police and speaking to the press about their frustration.
For their part, the Pitts’ production company says that pappies were trying to get onto the set and in the melee, regular civilians were confused with journalists which resulted in some ruckus and even some racism? One of the guards was overheard allegedly referring to the crowd as “Bloody Indians” – not a very Jolie sentiment is it?
So Angie was apparently trapped inside the school as her people sorted it out outside and now the rumours are flying that she is livid about the incident, about the suggestion that her presence harms instead of helps, furious that her life and that of her family is now characterized by excessive security which only cues another “Break Up” story in Life & Style which, naturally, would be full of ****.
Anyway, was announced today that 2 security personnel have been detained by authorities – probably not the kind publicity the Pitts have been courting lately but still I’m sure everything will come up roses when they make a donation to the school or something equally philanthropic.
After all, who better than Brad to spin this back in his favour?
Oh ****. Did I just piss off the psycho Brangelina fans …again?
Finally – fresh reports from New Orleans, roads have been blocked, major security is in place, filming is starting for the Curious Case of Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt. Everyone in the Big Easy has been on the lookout, no sightings yet but judging from the dramatic lockdown, it sounds like he’s close.
However, here’s an EXCLUSIVE tip from my girls L & L & R – Brad normally stays at the W when he’s in NO but this time, he has not made reservations – word is he and Angelina have bought a house in the Garden District and the family will be residing there during the shoot.
Will keep you posted on more.

LMFAOPIMP!!!
Only guessing, maybe ritzygal is in love with pink Mickey >> not sure if he’s available > Angie loves her uncle Mickey >> therefore Brad will defend Mickey .
Pray for the Jolie-Pitt’s family, bodyguards & film crews. Wishing they will be out of India this coming week. Hoping the Jolie-Pitt’s will spend Thanksgiving in Springfield , Missouri.
Best wishes to India!

What I want to know is… has someone been writing hate mails to the chick or what? Lainey is often full of sh*t and probably hates it that we call her on it from time to time but I am getting tired of her insults.
BradPitt is pure Hotness.!!
As far as the BodyGuards story goes, they ought to be in Jail if they said what they are accussed of saying. This is not the first time Mickey is accused of something.
Remember the saying ‘ If you fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me’, fire those guys AJ.!!
I can’t believe how this has deteriorated. What bullsh**. I bet Tom Cruise is pissed, here he’s breaking his back having this over-the-top hyped up the wazoo cheesy ridiculous wedding that he wants everyone in their mother to cover, and the press are still on Brad & Angie’s tip. LOL

gitane - where the hell are you from? because i live in this town and in the industry and GC manages to get around town all day, including grocery shopping, WITHOUT a tidalwave of papz on his ass. in fact, the man can have a cup of java at a local coffeeshop and no one but the people, i.e. some of us writing this, know about it. we don’t have minute to minute updates on his life ala Tomkat or BAMZS. anyhow, i’ve got more important things to do like GC’s makeup. . .
