Brad and Angelina In & Out of India

Fans, certain tabliodish media outlet and others smaller scale magazine used to received tons of kickback and incentive from JA’s publicist to keep his client in the news . The kickback was interms of gifts, freebies and other inkind which makes their effort of writing and painting a “fraudulent & fake” image of JA possible and worth their while .

Since the “golden couple” separated 2 years ago , the kickback lessen but some still continue to recieve gifts inkind .. with this , you would continuously see JA being prop up in the news based on what her publicist wants these outlet to write .. be it about brad’s family, mom or tying news to his client .

Well, of course the mastermind which is JA approved of all these “fake” news as she is desperate to be still the american sweetheart ..NOT ! . She is known in the industry for being a fake and fraud . Without Brad’s connection to the movie industry, no one wants to touch her , not even with a 10 foot pole . She is like a bad virus .. the further away they keep from her .. the better their business and life will be . So who is left to keep her in the news ? Well you got the answer .. only those tabloids and media outlet who are still receiving Huvane’s kickback .

.Sad but that’s the fact of a pathetic dying yesterday actress who is untalented.

just my thoughts:

I think the big difference between JA and Julia Roberts is that Julia actually could headline movies on her own (in fact, I believe she was the only female star who could carry a movie based on her name/presence) and Jen couldn’t. She maybe was the star on small-budgeted movies (Picture Perfect, Object of My Affection) but she wanted to be really an A-Lister, you know, someone who could headline a 100-million dollar movie (and Bruce Almighty didn’t count, that was a Jim Carey movie). That’s why she was afraid to take time off to have a baby. She needed to scramble to make up for lost time (she was too busy being on Friends and stayed there way too long) and take advantage of all the movie offers that came her way before it was too late. Nothing wrong with that, IMO, but she shouldn’t have promised her husband baby-making was on the immediate agenda when she knew very well it ain’t.

Maniston & QQQQ

i’m getting the suspicion that mickey’s untimely detainment is the reason why the jolie-pitts left in the middle of the night. not that they were running away from anything. angie’s finished her part in the filming, the holidays are coming and they have busy schedules; but without mickey’s protection, i think they didn’t want to have to suffer a big to-do on their departure. they were obviously hoping not to be photographed or even seen as they were leaving. i wonder if mickey had been available to do his job and join them whether or not they’d have left in the night with the kids still in their jammies.
————————————————————————————————
Morning Gitane, I agree with you, Well Said, and I am glad that Mickey will be joining the BAMZS family soon where ever they are, I think Mickey and the others have until Thursday before they leave India and I bet that Mickey is counting the seconds, the minutes and the hours before he can leave India

Cute pictures… aww Zahara…

I hope no one is starting sayng ” why isnt Angie carryng Z?”

i don’t think aniston is a fraud. i think she’s just a woman with a choice in her life and that’s a career. i mean, many many women in this world choose not to have children, and that’s ok i think. it’s their life. i think it’s better that way rather than they have kids but don’t care about them.
aniston and pitt have different interests, so they broke up. they both go to separate ways. there’s nothing wrong with it.

Hi dragonfly.

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

Hi O jpf! I am just buzzing in and out sporadically today. Haven’t been posting for a few days, and trying to at least scan the threads. YAY, the J-P’s (with the kiddies in their pj’s!) are headed “home”, wherever that is, or to which house they are going, we’ll have to see.

And I see deena did hit on that little technicality from the article…..we can all pull that out next time the word “homewrecker” is thrown around….. Jen said it herself in Self Magazine, Dec 06. Her marriage ended in JAN 2006! Now get off Brad & Angie.

very well said.

Jennifer Aniston’s saying , “….I will be on my way to have a family and kid in the next year…”. makes me think that jen will have kids simply because it’s expected of being a female. she did not sound like she is passionate about motherhood.

on the other hand, Brad’s saying, “…..with children, your life becomes second ….”. clearly shows Brad understands what it means to be a father, that one cant take this lightly.

i have no doubt that there is good coming from this family.

don’t get me wrong, but what about angelina’s interview after she gave birth
she said about the next adoption .. something about ” next we’ll adopt…..which gender, which race would fit best with the kids”
correct me if i’m wrong, but i’m sensing something wrong in that sentence.

There’s no such thing as fair trial in India. The whole legal system is soooooooo damn corrupt, the only way out of this mess is bribing the whole lot. Iam sure Brad has already learnt this ugly truth about indian police and must have taken care of the issue accordingly. I hope the bodyguards return back to their homes safe and sound.
Did ya’ll know that the term “paparazzi” is relatively unknown in india? None of the “bollywood” stars ever get hounded by paps. Iam so baffled at this new obsession of media with the BAMZS. It was the height of media frenzy. Blame everything on the bloody media which is sooo biased. They would’nt do this to their “favourite” bollywood stars. Iam so upset with all this. Iam sure the bamzs will never ever think of visiting india again. Look who the losers are now. Obviously the indians!!! Gosh iam so sick and tired of the hypocritical mentality of indians. It sucks!!!!

There’s more to the interview. Here’s the rest.

Barkha: Indians are crazy about Bollywood. You know that. Bollywood and cricket unites this multicultural and multi dimensional country, which means you’ve dealt with these crowd situations before. When a Hindi film is unfolding, we see crazy mobs, people tearing down at the gates, kids screaming for autographs. You’ve got bodyguards and bodyguards in no country are pleasant, including our own. What is different with the paparazzi and crowd chase on the shooting of the Almighty?

Irfaan: I knew people are crazy about Bollywood but I didn’t know they are so crazy about Hollywood. I never thought of Angelina Jolie so much you know, she is a star, so don’t treat her as a character, treat her as a star. For me it was a struggle, just look into her eyes and see her as a character. For me it became a huge thing, I stopped reading the newspapers before I came to shoot.

Bodyguards…well we don’t have…the concept of bodyguards here, they are protecting people.

Barkha: But how was it different? Did you find that the people responded differently, almost to brazen Angelina because in some ways they are more unknowable. We know you guys. We know Shah Rukh, we know Aamir, we don’t know you, may be that much more…curiosity!

Irfaan: People were cool about it. Like the building where we were shooting, it’s a bungalow in Pune and around there you can see in that bungalow, but no person around that Bungalow, they were not coming out, they were not trying to look into what’s happening, they were cool about it. They maintained their dignity. Its just you know– Media needs news.

Barkha: But I want to ask you something, not to deflect from that the media does it wrong but is it just all the media’s fault, in some way its the flipside of fame. You have heard these debates in your own country. Paparazzi in your part of the world, you have a house broken into.

Brad: But you know you guys are going pretty good. Stiff competition.

Barkha: That came in from Britain and America are worse than us or better than us depending on our point of views.

–You know its all the bad apple. It is not all the French, all the Americans and all the Indians. A certain faction, it really has no decency for humanity

Barkha: But you know what people are going to say. People are going to turn around and say Brad Pitt, that’s the flip side of fame. The media is the oxygen, I am just telling you this as Irfaan already knows it.

Brad: I can argue. I don’t have to agree with it. I may not be used to live life that way.

Irfaan: If I would have known, If I come to know that this kind of language… somebody used this kind of language. I wouldn’t have been sitting here, I wouldn’t have come with Brad. This is a sensitive thing for me.

Barkha: So you are absolutely sure that this hasn’t happened?

Irfaan: Ya, I am sure that this hasn’t happened…it was blown out of proportion. I will tell you one thing. Today there was a newspaper. Somebody quoted me saying that you know the bodyguards misbehaved. I never talked to anybody. Although journalists were trying to take comments out of me saying that you were the only Indian, Bollywood actor there. As an Indian think if somebody calls you this. Now this is like putting words in my mouth. I didn’t know what happened, we were inside you know and they were just trying to create something out of it. I felt a little, you know…

Barkha: But you as the producer have in some ways setting to be a pain in the neck because if you were the actor in the crew, you might not have to deal with all of this but now as a producer, you have to go to the police commissioners office.

Brad: I believe in this strongly, wholeheartedly, that I would still be doing this story. That I would be happy to be able to make this kind of films… surely might not star it but help bring it to the table and people would see because of it, because of the message. I am very happy, very proud of that.

Barkha: What was it about this story, Its so different. It’s so different from what standard Hollywood films would be.

Brad: You know I was really affected by the taking of this man’s life, destruction of what I believe to be true, attack of that I believe to be true. What we should focus is on the similarities. We should be brought together by our similarities than be repelled by our differences. I want to understand more and I want people to understand me more.

Brad: I was taken by Marianne. Everyone have every reason to be bitter, to be angry. She is not; she is a woman of great humanity, of great dignity and I through her example. I was really taken by her and I got into the story I understood more about the international nature of the people come together and I felt it is a very important story. What I was most proud of it is that we were able to compensate with the cast and the crews well. International cast, cast from different religions, different cultures, made friends like Irfaan Khan here.

Barkha: I just want to ask you, its kind of ironic because you didn’t shoot in Pakistan where Daniels story was actually.

Brad: We shot two weeks of it.

Barkha: But a lot of it you didn’t because you thought it might be problematic from security and logistical point of view.

Brad: Well, we weren’t really sure, we were told that there might be… but the government their gave us the permission to shoot for two weeks there.

Barkha: No the reason why I asked was to bring in your India experience, there has been this one incident, taking that into account and looking back to the time you spent here. Has it been?

Brad: Let me say we chose India because it’s great film production here, a great film experience that was important for the technical shooting of the film and that was a great advantage here, but we also chose the place because its so socially diverse, rich in culture and I have to say that the shooting proved to be just.

Barkha: Was it a good experience?

Brad It was a great experience, the film is going to benefit for shooting here, I am very excited about it. I am sorry, my only fear is that anything is soured, the message gets soured, with these kind of sensational events that really have no justification and…

Barkha: How bad was the paparazzi for you here? Did you manage to escape it?

Brad: We were certainly doing the request as a family in a hotel but one thing I got bike. A motorbike.

Barkha: You went out and bought a Motorbike?

Brad: Ya, I was so fascinated by the chaos, the traffic, different rules we have been having. I am a motorbike nerd and I want to get out on the road. So I bought a helmet and was able to ride around quite peacefully.

Barkha: Incognito?

Brad: Incognito.

Barkha: Did you mask your face?

Brad: Sometimes it was for the exhaustion.

Barkha: We get this. Brad Pitt bought a motorbike in Pune, put the mask around his face.

Brad: I was so busy chasing Angelina.

Barkha: And this time with or without your bodyguard?

Brad: Without, A bike is about freedom, a bike is about being by yourself.

Barkha: So you outsmarted the media?

Brad: Not in any way, they just weren’t looking for me. We were able to explore out on the weekends.

Barkha: Outside where?

Brad: Goa, where we had great fun. In Rajasthan. I also this week got to explore Jaisalmer, Ladakh and had amazing time in Varanasi. I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a country like this. I told my friend put this on your list, you must come here, see this.

Barkha: What about it captivated you the most?

Brad: There is nothing that I can pinpoint apart from the number of people living together, living in harmony. The colours of the cities, the smell of the cities, the food of the cities, the architecture of the cities.

Barkha: You are passionate about architecture?

Brad: Ya, I am a bit of an architect.

Barkha: Is there anything that particularly captured your imagination?

Brad: Extraordinary temples here. Means a lot to me to get to see, to witness how they were made and I was also able to go outside Pune, Jim was there for his project on humanity. We got a project, we got to build with a family and see their excitement. It’s been great. Overall it’s been an extraordinary trip for us, which neither of us have ever been before. We loved Diwali.

Barkha: What did you do on Diwali?

Brad: We were in Jodhpur at that time but you know I could just go on for nights and nights and nights.

Barkha: Did you like the candles, the firecrackers or something?

Brad: No I didn’t get to light the firecrackers but I surely got to witness it once. But you know, we would like to see what you call “Holi”.

Barkha: Colours?

Brad: I would like to come back for that and it will be great fun.

Barkha: And the media would go absolutely crazy. Irfan let me ask you, how different was it, do you feel different working in a Hollywood film while Brad was roaming around with his motorcycle? Do you have any idea that he was doing that?

Irfan: No. I didn’t know. He had a really good time. For me it’s different from Bollywood. The kind of work that is happening here, the kind of freedom the director gives you, the story they are attempting. I went and met people just like that. I knew about Michael that much when he gave me the novel and when I read the novel it just changed me completely. It just did something to me. I won’t be able to take out that thing in my life. What he makes out of a tragedy, it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t have imagined that someone could have this kind of a progressive and positive attitude for life and what she claimed what she was doing, it’s an amazing story.

Barkha: It’s an amazing story that brings us to the larger issue of activism. You know you and Angelina are much more than the poster boy and poster girl. You are actively involved in causes of all kinds in Pakistan especially post earthquake. How did that begin to happen with you? Did you feel the catalyst was Angelina in some way?

Brad: Yes. Angelina is certainly inspiring for all her hard work. Absolute dedication, love for people all over the world. I absolutely found her inspiring. I have been fortunate and given lot of opportunities, it’s just not satisfying unless you can show that in some way and help those who need the help. I believe you need to be there.

Barkha: You have seen all the controversies that seem to stalk stars who adopt causes. We saw what happened with Madonna for example and you and Angelina have babies that were adopted and these are the kind of controversies that tend to stalk stars. Is there something that annoys you? Do you think people are cynical and unfair? Of course there were all kinds of speculations that you are going to adopt a baby from India because there were reports of your visit to the Pune orphanage.

Brad: We wanted to bring toys for the kids and see the program how it ran here. We were very impressed. It was a wonderful institution. We are not planning to adopt from India at this point but certainly something we could consider in the future. Absolutely. The timing probably wouldn’t be right now. I believe that time says it all. All intentions come out through time. So I’ve become tough a little bit.

Barkha: So in that case it gets thick here.

Brad: No. The faith comes out in the long run.

Barkha: But you’ll sort it out.

Brad: That you keep, you act as you believe, you respond to the qualities that you believe in and that will tell the truth in the long run.

Barkha: Tell me something that you’ve learnt during the course of this film that outsiders don’t know. Top secrets I’m asking of you.

Irfan: The kind of performance I’ve seen in him he’ll make a mark. His sincerity made a mark on me. When I saw him on the sets for the first time, I found, it looked very genuine. You really respect people who are successful but I respect those who are concerned. That’s what attracted me to him and this couple. I really look for people who are concerned about things that are going around them. It’s heartening.

Barkha: I want to ask you Brad, it ain’t a surprise to anybody in this line of work, does it get isolating, alienating?

Brad:: Not when you have three kids.

Barkha: Not when you have kids. Are you worried, I mean this is a question thrown at you all the time kids growing up with body guards?

Brad: It’s unfortunate. I’m proud of Angelina. She has out her hand on it. Being parents who are there, who will be there for their upbringing and bodyguards always seem to be needed when we are going, announce for some kind of film. There is going to be a lot of hoopla around it. Most of the time we do not have to live with that and we want to ensure that our kids have normal upbringing as far as possible.

Barkha: Does it feel claustrophobic at times?

Brad: Yeah. Then we go out for trips on weekends, we figure that around.

Barkha: What does Angelina feel about this entire incident? The thing that has happened?

Brad: She is disappointed, disheartened because the message of the film is important to us and these kind of allegations break that message and this is completely anti-ethical to our intentions. What we believe in, what we want for our kids in the world, it’s a bit saddening but at the same time I think the film will speak to that.

Barkha: Let me ask you finally, what’s the one defining image of India you’ll carry back with you?

Brad: I really like the pants here.

Barkha: So you bought a kurta. Where did you get it from?

Brad: I don’t know, we had help.

Barkha: Did you shop anywhere in Pune?

Brad: I got my camera around and got some shots.

Barkha: Before you wrap up, let’s just ask you guys would you come back ?

Brad: Absolutely. Absolutely. I’ll come back for the film. It’s really important to me. I hope we can pull it off well.

Barkha: You like Indian food. I read that somewhere.

Brad: I love Indian food.

Barkha: Which dish?

Brad: Chicken masala, I like the dal, naan. I just love it.

Barkha: Will that bring you back?

Brad: Yes, of course. Surely.

Barkha: Good to know that, we will wait for your next visit. Hope you’re next visit is quieter and we hope we get to see more of you.

pls comb z’s hair Says:

I am sorry if I make you guys mad-Zahara is so beautiful but her hair makes her look like a Chia pet. They either need to comb her hair or take her to a beautician-There is a very good Beautician in Encino who would gladly show them how to do that child’s hair!

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

Dear God…not the hair debate again! You wanna get out photos of that rickshaw ride so we can do ThighGate again, too? Holy ****…they woke the kid up and took her out of bed in her jammies! Give ‘em a break. Her hair looks fine. I’ve seen MINE look worse, so back off. Go bug Tom Cruise about his son Connor’s hair! There’s nothing wrong with it, but I’m sure all you black-hair-being-cared-for-by-white-people fanatics out there will find SOMETHING to complain about.

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

I am sorry because this post appeared way back in the thread, but it is just toooo damn funny!

And AG, I can’t find it, but I was scanning the other thread, and happened upon your post about the white blanket/pink blanket, white van/black van and who is holding which kid and all of that, and it made me laugh out loud.

It is so predictable and banal how people keep bringing up the same things to nitpick about and watching you guys shoot them down so expertly is as satisfying as a big slice of Devil’s Food cake (almost)! haha!!

At least the detractors have finally dropped the argument that they aren’t really a couple and all their photos together are photo-shopped fakes, which is alot of what they were saying when I first started coming around. Some people just aren’t happy unless they are ragging on somebody else about the most trivial things.
