I would advise that some of you stop this insanity and fulfill a rich life with no more blogging or atleast not as much blogging and stop fulfilling some need or fulfilling some heavy burden to defend two simple people who could care less because they’re so busy with their own lives.

Brad is lying
*******************************

There were no video evidence whatsoever that the incident as complained by the parents happened, and based on that Brad has said his piece. Now if you think Brad is a liar, isnt it the right time for you to stop obsessing stalking him in the internet?

==
Let me also add that Mr Khan a famous Bollywood actor would not have gone to the police office with Brad if he felt that those guards had done what they are accused of. I take Mr Khan (since he is from India and was actually there) his opinion over Ritzy)

You ever notice that in all the pics of Brad holding Zahara that he never talks to her or engagaes her in any way? He just holds her. Nothing else.

==
The same could be said of Angelina to Brad, or Brad to Angelina or Angelina to Maddox or Brad to Maddox. In is a moment in time not a reflection of their emotion to each other.

Janet -

1) Did anyone tell you they are on this blog for over a year???

2) How do you know? Were you CONSTANTLY reading this for over a year?

3) If you have been here for a year, why would you be asking about Angie’s past . The past aspect of her life has been covered. many times. Are you being INCONSISTENT?

Please tell me because I’ve only been here for a month. Yes, I do have a life. I do go to the gym. Yes, I have many years of education and I am in a very well respected profession. Please dont equate anyone who posts here has no life nor low class !!!!

I’m glad the family is leaving…hopefully they’ll spend Thanksgiving somewhere relaxing and private.

As per some of these snide comments made by particular posters…very silly. Brad is a grown ass man and he does what he chooses. That goes for his bandana, how he holds and interacts with HIS oldest daughter, what security he decides to employ, etc. Getting you girde all in bunch because of something he chooses is retarded. We don’t know this man and this man doesn’t know us. Get out of his ass crack and let him live.

Full Interview

Barkha: The film Mighty Heart brought two of the Hollywod’s biggest names, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, to India. Everybody was very excited, not surprisingly the paparazzi did not leave them alone for a moment. Was that the problem? Why the film has been overshadowed by a headline of unsavoury kind? The latest controversy being the arrest of three of the bodyguards on the crew and location…allegations of parents in a dominant Muslim school saying that the bodyguards have made a racial slur.

We are, for the first time, in conversation with the producer of the film and one of Hollywood’s biggest names, Brad Pitt, along with one of India’s best known actors Irfan Khan who plays a lead role in the film. This is Brad’s first interview of any kind since he has been in India avoiding all those media hounds and we are hoping it will go beyond this incidence to talk about your entire experience here in India.

Brad: Thank you for taking your time out.

Barkha: Thank you for making time. I can imagine what kind of days it has been for you. Did you ever imagine when you were packing your bags to India that one of your stops would include a visit to the police commissioner’s office?

Brad: No. I did not foresee that. I have to say because it is just completely antithetical of what the film is about. So the turn of events is a bit baffling to us. But you know we are here to answer any allegations and certainly set the record straight because these are not our intentions, nor the intention of the people involved.

Barkha: Let me ask you very directly. The perception is that your cast and crew were shooting here and parents had come to pick up their children. It was peak time when the children were trying to get out and they were also excited to see you, Angelina and other stars. They were probably hemming in trying to get a glimpse. The bodyguards at that time, to try and keep the crowd away, got a little rough and the amount of things they said…”You bloody Indians…you bloody Muslims.”

Brad: Absolutely not true. And you know I have to say that we are horrified by these allegations and you must understand our intention for the story is to focus on a similarity of cultures. It is a story of a journalist who believed in truth and making the world a better place by enlightening each other on a point of view and believe in dialogues, and he was a great lover of culture and the world itself. In the story itself, with the abduction, what occurred was to bring together people from different cultures and religions…you have Muslims, Hindus, agnostics, Buddhists, Christians, all people working together to find this man who happened to be a Jewish, but more importantly a believer in a world, who considered himself a citizen of the world and this is a beautiful story for us.

Barkha: Absolutely

Brad: This is the purpose of telling a story. So having these allegations goes against the purpose of the movie and it is disappointing for us and I would like to now answer that.

Barkha: I’ll get into the film in course of the conversation but you know how bodyguards are. They have a tough time and they get rough sometimes. It is also a different culture, it is also a language they speak. When you say that they did not say these things, is it from the knowledge or faith or instinct or are you willing to vouch that they did not say these things?

Brad: All of that. All that across the board I tell you with all my heart. I understand that for Angelina and me to stand up and tell this story is this idea of embracing our cultures. This idea of acceptance, the idea of openness and dialogue with each other. This idea of tolerance which we believe in with all our heart and if you look at our history what we have been involved with…we will never work with anyone who thinks otherwise. Absolutely not. and this is a horrible misunderstanding, but it is just that misunderstanding and we hope to establish that truth so the film and the message of the film is not tainted because the history is worth telling today.

Barkha: Irfan, if I bring you in on one point. Because sometimes people mean something and another thing happens. It is the perils of coming into a country where you do not necessarily speak the language of the people. It happens in rural urban clashes within India itself. There are people who speak English…Not just as somebody who is a member of this cast and crew, but as a Muslim it is such a sensitive subject. Right now you know the very suggestion that somebody may have said what Brad say didn’t happen…”You bloody Muslim”. It automatically brings India together and you start looking at the crew who came in as the outsider. What did you feel about this when you read about this, heard about this, saw the visuals on TV of parents saying this is what happened.

Irfan: You know I saw a channel. They were continuously running a story of what happened here. It was a completely biased approach that they had because they were saying Brad “Pint”, Anjelina Jolie’s boyfriend was there and he did not come out, Irfan Khan was there in the shooting and he didn’t say anything to the parents. Now, I say he was not there. He was in Varanasi and I am sure about it. We were shooting inside and when we came out of the hotel everyone was there, the press was there and they wanted to cover it. It is their job…OK but they were following us and when we went inside the school the timing was such that we were entering and kids were coming out.

As we got in we started shooting. We were supposed to be doing scenes so we were busy doing the shoot and suddenly we started hearing some noises. We thought the press was trying to cover it. Then it took another shape and I was continuously laughing, saying it was nothing.

Barkha: You must have seen this in India so many times?

Irfan: Yes. So many times and today when I saw them so concerned I said it is nothing.

Barkha: And it would have been nothing, had it not been for that allegation?

Irfan: I can vouch that Brad would not keep such racial people with him. Whatever I have understood about him, about the intention of the film and why they are making the film, this is an actor I know what is all about.

Brad: You know we have an interracial family. It is very important to us that our kids grow up understanding their own respective cultures, their own religions, of the country they are from. This is our intention.

Barkha: You have three children from completely different parts of the world.

Brad: Yes. Ethiopia, Cambodia, and our other daughter was born in Namibia. That is understood in all the children as well as us because we believe so much in the importance of where they come from and the idea that we can all get along and we can live and let live.

Barkha: But Brad, not to be cynic but the allegation is not that Brad Pitt and Irfan Khan came out into the crowd and made racial remarks. The allegation is that in the heat of the moment your security guards may have lost their temper and said something that was inappropriate.

Brad: Again I am saying that we would never ever hire these people. We will never work with them because it goes against everything we believe in. Also, these men are fathers, they all have kids themselves. They were hoping to get back home from tomorrow. But they will never hurt a child or yell at a child. They will never push the child.

Barkha: Did you get the chance to speak with them and what is their version?

Brad: Absolutely, I know their integrity. As Irfan said when they drove up to the school they were shooting a scene. This brings us to the subject of the role of media and its capability. There are very aggressive facts on media and I am certainly not entitled to believe it. But this is a particular fact that they have been aggressive and have not given us a moment of peace.

Also, the other day when we were taking a walk with our kids, we were surrounded by the local guys. I told them that we are trying to take our kids for a walk and I understand you guys want to take pictures but keep a distance and not scare the kids. But they completely ignored and just surrounded us. The kids did not know how to take it, so we called up the office and came back.. From my investigation they were blocking the gates as the kids were trying to come out of the school. The parents had come to pick up their kids. Now this is not mentioned in the media at all and also this particular fact that paparazzi or tabloid media (or how we want to label them) also rushed to the gate of the school, carrying itself to a fracas.

Barkha: So the school also said that the cast and crew came an hour later than they were meant to and therefore hit the peak time.

Brad: I don’t understand that. I had not heard that but I want to say it just brings up an interesting debate on when the media actually creates the news and staying there just observing and recording news. I think it is a debate that needs to be had because they certainly say this.

Barkha: Well we have heard that debate many times in our country. Just one last question on this incident, do you believe that people who work with you can ever say this?

Brad: I tell you with all my honour…absolutely not.

Barkha: So do you think it is all a misunderstanding? You think the people who are making the allegations are lying?

Brad: Knowing all intentions of the story I am absolutely baffled by all this. I do not know it is the subject matter of this film itself that lead to people questioning, may be we should have explained our intentions about the story when we came here.

Barkha: May be you hid from the press too much.

Brad: Yeah…you know our idea is to come, do our work, have an experience at the end, have a press conference and talk about it. My job was producing the film, deal with my kids, and as I said we probably should have come out of the gate and explained our purpose here.

Barkha: Do you feel regret even though you feel your bodyguards did not say anything?

Brad: Let me tell you what I regret. I regret that the students’ day at the school was disrupted and I also believe the media who were present should join me in that regret because they were also the part of the problem…and well I regret that.

Jenni -

you should be doing more studying. please have some love. dont drag the children into this.

doing so is UNCONSCIENABLE !!!!

anyone who has an eduation will agree with me

Jenni-

I did not make any spelling error. You can have a duel with me. But act like an adult. Dont be such a coward and bring the children in..
Remember, one of these day, you will have children too.

Janet -
now it’s time for you to teach your disciple Jenni to behave.

Shiloh is beautiful. Zahara is cute when her hair is combed and you gt her at a certain angle and she’s not really frowning. Maddox is cute but that crazy ass hair has got to go.

Brad is handsome but I something is lacking in him. I don’t like the way he handled this bodyguard mess.

Angelina is beautiful but she’s a little too off weird.

You just know that the kids (and the ones to follow) will wind up on the Oprah equivalent couch in 20 years spilling their guts and confessing how crazy their mother is and how their Dad could never say no to her which made them lose all respect for him.

It will happen…

my post if for other people to read, not for juvenile Jenni. Therefore I dont talk low class.

You don’t know what you’re talking about . A child’s first 6 mos are key developmental stages. Zahara didn’t have what other children you label happy babies did which is invidual time with a parent. Smiling is a learned, mimicked behavior.

Jenni, Ritzy, you are all morons, without a sense of humour, without common sense, and you are all so stupid you must be screaming all day.

well since her mother is angelina –who never smiles and looks so miserable all the time–and her father is brad–who’s always holding her, yet never seems to talk to her or look at her when he’s holding her–then it’s no wonder that she seems so glum. she has nothing to mimic. or is she mimicing their glumness? I think it’s the latter.

Calling ((((((((((((((((Rev. Jenni)))))))))))))))))))))

I am still waiting for the meaning of BASTARDISM…

Please pretty please, tell me and I would be forever grateful.
