Brad Pitt Takes it to the Court

ritzygal -

Your concern of Z not smiling is unfounded. Some children are more serious. Some children are more out going. Some children are more friendly to strangers. At this young age,it is too early to predict anything. You should NEVER diagnose from a few pictures. anyone who is a mature adult will know that.

Jennifer Aniston lied to the public about the baby issue. You may say, everybody lies. But think Clinton. He got caught lieing to the public about the Monica Lewinsky affair. He was impeached by the house. Why, because Clinton is a public figure. Dont stand out there in front of the media and lied.

In a similar vein, Jennifer Aniston is a celebrity. She should not lie to the public about the baby issue. You cannot even argue she changed her mind about family. The fact that we caught her smoking cigarettes after cigarettes clearly shows she absolutely had NO intent of a baby during the marriage. If there was NO intent of doing something, how can you argue she changed her mind. Lieing to the public INTENTIONALLY is a fraud. Now, mind you, dont get sidetracked that she had the right to choose when to start motherhood. We are NOT talking about whether she had the right or not . We are stating a fact. The fact is “she lied”.

Trust is important . I do hope she will change for the better. Again, I dont hate her. I wish her no ill will.

i just finished watching oprah’s (jen aniston) video.

counting the number of the term boob job—mentioned 5 times.

Aniston’s “no, no” broken up —mentioned 1 time

Looks like when you want to remember something, you keep repeating, beat it into the head.

In this video, all i came out of it is “no boob job”

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.

To this I say AMEN! AMEN!AMEN to the LAST PARAGRAPH.

Brangelina Flying Back to US Today
Faridoon Shahryar, IndiaGlitz [Saturday, November 18, 2006]

Brangelina may be the hottest celebrity couple of the world but somehow their tryst with India generated heat of vicious kinds. Their bodyguards created a ruckus in Pune when they manhandled a British photojournalist by grabbing his neck. After publicity-gimmick-enthusing autorickshaw ride, their tryst with Mumbai started off with the Rs 500 tip for Rs 5 roadside ice cream.

The whole country was disgusted beyond limits when Brangelina bodyguards roughed up school kids during the shooting of the film ‘A Mighty Heart’ at a South Mumbai school a couple of days ago and called their parents, “Bloody Indians”. The bodyguards were arrested the following day and released on a surety of Rs 25, 000. And the latest news which is available from Taj Hotel sources in Mumbai is that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are leaving for USA by a flight today evening.

When Brad Pitt had gone to meet the police commissioner of Mumbai Mr A N Roy yesterday he was accompanied by Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan who is also starring in ‘A Mighty Heart’ and has already been shooting for the film. It seems the whole schedule of ‘A Mighty Heart’ has gone haywire with this sudden development. But what international celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt must understand is that talking about world peace, equality and adopting children from various countries doesn’t make them humanitarians if they don’t practice compassion and respect for other cultures. In real life that is.

HOLLA!

IT BEARS REPEATING…
