Brad Pitt Owns 2007
Brad Pitt almost looks too cool for school in the January 2007 issue of Total Film. The shades. The scruff. The crossed arms. His back against the wall.
The Total Film cover headline reads: “His darkest tough guy. His meanest good guy. His sharpest smart guy & his secret zombie sci-fi. Building Babel and exactly why Brad Pitt owns 2007.” The pictures aren’t new but the article is. Hope all you Americans are stuffed from Thanksgiving or poor from Black Friday! (:

At a Sept 10, news conference for his film Babel, Brad told reporters he talks to his son Maddox 3 times a day when he’s on the road. “Sometimes it’s hard to talk to Angie because Madd wont get off the phone,” he joked.

That’s so cute! I can hear the tike doing that stuttering thing kids do trying to catch his dad up, and his dad not wanting to hurt his feelings by telling him to put his mom on.
thanks!

Oh my God! Oh my God! I feel so horrible right now…..I swear I am going to hell! I need prayers….a lot of prayers to save my soul. Okay, I was watching TV and the **. Jude promo…ad….whatever with one Ms Jennifer Aniston came on and I tell ya, I about died from laughter. I’m sorry…I’m sorry but she did the thing with her mouth…where it’s barely open and it’s twisted to the side and when she said “give me a hug”….I was on the floor. Honestly, after it was over, I realized I had done. I feel so bad, it’s for a good cause….I know, I know but it was sooooo unexpected. The few times I’ve seen on screen it was either on friends reruns, so I was not expecting that!
How do I pay penance for my horrible, horrible sins?
***********************************
Girl, I’m going to hell right with you. Went to the movies yesterday, and there she was in the St. Jude add. Great organization but all I could do was notice of how she never really opens her mouth when she talks. Its almost like her jaw is wired shut. And I realize not everyone can have luscious lips like Angie but damn The Man is a lipless wonder. She should have left her hairline alone and bought herself some lips. Just saying.

Oh that is so cute, I can see Madd chatting away on the phone with his Daddy and Angie standing by waiting and waiting but Madd won’t get off :)

I don’t know why they didn’t, but I’m not sold that the reasons were about Brad having a hard time extracating himself from his marriage since it was a more than easy divorce. It really went smooth as silk as did Angelina’s. No battles of any kind either side. Sexier angle? Um, that one I’m not so sure is a factor either, or to be honest, I hope it isn’t. I remember Angelina saying once that a couple could have great sex, fun etc, but none of that mattered if in the cold light of day they weren’t on the same page about how they would live their lives. Of course sexual attraction is important, we know it’s there in spades with them, but I don’t think it’s been the main focus. Top 5, but not main sustaining element with them, or should I say, I dont think it was a deal breaker on them getting together “to stay together.” I’m one of those boring dull individuals who look at a couple less about the physical but for those other connections that trump the even greatest of sex. I always wonder if a couple has that connection that would keep them together should the hard stuff hit like one being maimed, paralyzed, just seriously infirmed. Things that would change the whole relationship landscape, and this is one of those rare couples I get that vibe from strongly. I just don’t feel that things are as “loose” and there’s some kind of open door policy with them for any reason. Angelina isn’t that kind of woman, or at least she’s never given me that impression. He leaves, he’s not getting back in, but I also believe Brad to be a very committed man who wouldn’t do all he could to not lose his family. They’re more traditional than I think we believe marriage license or not, and I truly see them growing old together legally reconized as married or not.

*****************************
I think his marriage was hard to get out of because he had to wait for the right time, then he had to sorta pressure JA to go ahead and file in March 05, then, she drug her feet in August 05….Ugh, I know it could have been alot messier, but, still it was alot of paperwork, wating periods, lawyers, all that kinda stuff. I wonder if they had a prenup?
Anyhoo, I didn’t mean to give the impression that I think they have any kind of open door policy, no, no, far from it…. I just think binding someone to you with a velvet rope is much more comfortable and enjoyable than a scratchy old seagrass one…it starts to chafe after a while, especially if one person is using said rope to hold you down or choke you. I, like you, don’t think Brad would ever leave, he’s totally committed by his own words, but seriously, I bet it means alot to her that he is with her soley because that is where he wants to be, his choice. He said so in his Tonic interview, “This is the life I want.” So yeah, he’s obliged and obligated to her and the children on many levels, but he took that obligation on himself, she didn’t put some kind of yoke on him.
I totally agree with you about the tightest bonds being all about much more than physical attraction. Intellectual intercourse with the right person is quite necessary and satisfying the more a person matures. What good is a slammin’ body and great sex if the other person is a dolt with nothing interesting to say?
Yes, yes, I agree they seem to have what it takes to make it for many years to come, but even though they have 3 children, their relationship is still relatively young, honeymooners, even. When my hubby and I had only been together 2 years, we were still banging like rabbits every chance we got…..now, haha, not so much, but we have excellent conversations and we share the same interests, and *that* is more the real glue that holds us together moreso than our sexual relationship (which still rocks, btw) at this point. I think B&A are still in the newlywed phase, and I hope they keep up their little romantic getaways. That’s so healthy for a realtionship like theirs where they never actually had a period of time togehter, just the two of them before children, like many couples do.
Off to watch “Love Ride”, ya’ll!
BBL
Hey guys, wow a lot of conversations going in here. I’ll start with Britney. lol
She needs help..I mean, she sees Paris as a role model. Please still love me guys but I’ve been a fan since her MMC days. However, I’ve gotten crap from her fanatical followers for not always agreeing w/ her actions so I’m not a sheep but I have followed her career.
Really, things just went downhill for her when her parents divorced. After that, her personal and professional life fell into a downward spiral. Her aunt got cancer, her movie bombed, she had an affair w/ her choreographer which caused Justin to breakup with her. And for awhile, she started to party which triggered the firing of her long time bodyguard Big Rob. He had been w/ her really since the beginning and he wasn’t a “yes man”, he openly disapproved of her partying and she didn’t like that one bit. After that she released her album, was introduced to K-Fed, went on tour w/ him then injured her knee. But at the time, I really brushed off their relationship thinking it was a fling, I mean, every woman is entitled to date at least ONE loser in her lifetime, just to get it out of her system…except she married hers. Anyway, during her “recovery” from knee surgery she was out and about shopping, going for the usual cheeto and red bulls stops w/ her crutches. Then she lied to kids. I wish I were kidding. That’s when I really just lost a lot of respect for her.
Every year she made it a point to attend her charity which is a performing arts camp in MA for underprivileged children who can’t afford singing, dancing, and acting lessons. All summer long as their honing their skills they’re also producing a variety show that they perform on the day that Britney visits. Well, she lied to them in 2004 by saying that her injury prevented her from seeing their show…despite the fact that she had been active during her recovery. Well, on the DAY of their show, the one that they produced for her, she was at blockbuster video squatting down on her injured knee looking at the new releases.
She needs to get it together not just for her but for her kids. I don’t think she’s realized that it’s no longer about her anymore, she has two lives to think about it and that her new BFF, is no better than the parasite that she wisely dropped.

What I mean is… there are some fans are so sure that BP may have performed an ‘act’ on AJ while they were filming the sex scenes in MAMS. This ‘act’ was performed in front of a crew. Yesterday, these fans were blowing a gasket over that b*!!**** story about AJ performing an ‘act’ in a crowded restaurant for BP’s benefit.
Why is it more palatable for BAMZS fans to concoct this scenerio here, but it’s wrong and pathetic when FF @$$holes plopped a similar scenerio on this board?
It’s wrong and inappropriate, no matter who suggested it.

Okay, I get what you are saying now. Although I wasn’t one of the people who said that. I saw the post about the restaurant, and I did not even respond to it. Above, I said I didn’t think there were any inappropriate parts touching in MAMS, at least not any more or less than any other simulated sex scene between actors.
What I said I would use my imagination for was if they did another movie together….my preference would no NO SEX SCENE between them, I can fill in the blanks myself. I was just wondering why you directed this comment to me:
“I get some the enthusiasm regarding the unrated scenes in MAMS, but how are your flights of fancy any different than that disgusting post by ‘ex-friend of Angelina’?”
Or were you talking about someone else’s “flights of fancy”?
From Kimber @ Bradforums
If it’s not to late in your area George will be on David Letterman tonight and he will be bringing pictures of Brad to show off. Can’t wait to see what this prankster is up to with this one
Thanks for all your greetings. You ladies (and guys) are the best!
Maniston: What are a few pounds when you’re on vacation, especially in Vancouver. With the fine quality of food, choice of cuisines & relatively inexpensive prices, we Vancouverites are known to eat out more often than the rest of Canada. Do the Grouse Grind if you gain a few pounds the next time you’re here. I guarantee you will lose that weight in no time. :)
Alexanderina, Missouri Fan, AddictedtoBAMZs: Some of the nicest posters here. I have to tell you the other reason that I never posted was because I was afraid that once I start I wouldn’t be able to stop. So please don’t tempt me! LOL
Ariel: Hello to my fellow Canadian. I think we have your weather right now…we’re not used to all this snow & cold. We are called the Wet Coast for a reason. :) :)
Like you I was more Angie’s fan than Brad’s. I admire the way she owns her life and lives it to its fullest. And yet she has this vulnerable streak that makes her so human & compelling. I absolutely adore her. Brad has certainly surprised me (no disrespect to Brad fans). When he was with Gwyneth Paltrow they looked so elitist. When he was with Aniston they came across as fake & plastic. But with Angie…he suddenly a handsome & manly man. The way he loves his children & Angie has made him even hotter & sexier. My girlfriends used to drag me to see his films..well, I guess the joke’s on me, as I was the one dragging my girlfriends to watch Babel.
Jq: I ashamed to admit I did a bit of editing on one of the quotes. The full quote to The Truth About… article goes like this: “Brad’s the most loyal person I know -and the most adorable! He’d never be unfaithful to Jennifer.” I edited Aniston out as I wanted my first post to be positive and she just has too much negative vibes around her.
Just a couple of things on Aniston and I’ll never mention her again (unless provoked beyond endurance). I think she married Brad Pitt - the sexiest man alive - and not Brad Pitt the person. Wasn’t it Rita Hayworth who said that men wanted her because they thought she was Gilda, but all they got was Rita Hayworth? She had her share of marriage & men problems due to the men in her life buying into the sexy siren image.
The infamous VF article. Or as I like to call it: The Character Assassination Piece. I know many of you are still upset with this piece of c***. Time as given me a different perspective on this article. If anything I think this article helped solidify & strengthen the Jolie-Pitt union. Don’t you bond & seek solace from the people you love & care for when you’re under attack? Also, name me one woman who would not be flatter to know that Brad Pitt was attracted to her emotionally (and physically :)) from the first moment they met. Even the haters would swoon. Aniston played the game wrong, and played it badly. Consequently she is now known as the perpetual victim who whines & has pity parties. What kind of legacy is that??? She should’ve done a Kidman. Brad might be producing films for her now if she did.
Dragonfly: Take a bow! No need to be so modest. Your fluidity & easy way with words reminds me of Nora Roberts.
Passing Through: Don’t EVER change. You’re like the Tasmanian Devil whirling around and smacking sense to everyone. Love it.
BTW, the first time I realized that there’s something real to all that Brad & Angie speculations? The morning after scene in the Bogotá hotel in MaMS. That LOOK he gave Angie when he was leaning against the balcony doorway. I remember thinking OMG! Brad Pitt is in love with Angelina Jolie! Brad is a terrific actor but there’s no way he could’ve faked (not very many actors can) that LOOK. I’m probably projecting…but hey it makes me happy. LOL
Have a great night all you BAMZSers. I’ll sign on again when I feel the urge to run off my mouth (or fingers) again.
Alexanderina, I won’t spoil you about tonight’s nip/tuck but it was funny, heart wrenching and oddly enough, sweet….:) I hope you’re doing well.
Artemis:November 28th, 2006 at 11:03 pm
Hiya Artemis, it is nice to see you post again, you know you should do it more often, and I know what you mean about posting, cause when you start posting it is hard to stop :). Thank you for the compliment, you are so sweet. And I agree with you regarding that look on Brad’s face the morning after the love scene in Bogota, the way he was looking at Angie, just melt my heart, that is one of my favorite scene, he was such a goner :)
Is it possible?
Within a short period of time Oprah has had many celebrities on promoting their films especially the big one’s to open up soon like Dreamgirls and blood Diamon. I read today that she had Julia Roberts promoting Charlotte’s Web. Now what other major film that has major stars is there left to open before the year is out? Of course it’s The Good Shepherd. How many of you think that she will have the three major stars of TGS on? The subject alone, the formation of what is now known as the CIA, is enough to be a topic of discussion on her show. Out of the big important films yet to open, who’s left besides Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie & Robert Deniro’s The Good Shepherd? She’s had just about everyone else on. Do you guys think that her “alliance” with X is enough to keep her from getting the cast from TGS? My feeling is that Oprah is DYING to get Angelina on any way possible and this would be the only logical reason right now.
Amaya:November 28th, 2006 at 11:12 pm
Hiya Amaya, I can’t wait to watch it. I am doing good, how about you?
Cliniqua: you are ’smokin’ hot. Bring on the rotisserie blogspot!
Dragonfly: you have a definite fan here.
On the marriage question: a couple of thoughts. I think as long as they can do the sequential adoptions, they don’t have a big incentive to tie the legal knot. I’m with those people who suggest that they have ‘married’ each other on their own terms. I think AJ has probably had it with the legal marriages; they didn’t make it right with Johnny or BillyBob. I think she made clear her intentions by parenting with him. He’s already been a better (and longer) father to Mad and Z (and thisclose on Shi) than hers was to her. The funniest article from the India saga was from OK (I think) imagining the Hindu wedding they were setting up. Of course, AJ is more of a Buddhist, so a Hindu wedding would have been pretty ecumenical! I think Braddy daddy will never leave those kids. And I think he lurves his babymama.
It always cracks me up when people accuse the JPs of being mediawh***s. Do these critics get out much? The JPs don’t go to clubs every bloody night; they don’t flash their genitals at every opportunity; they don’t jump on couches; they don’t run to the media to correct random rumors (only ones that cut to the heart of who they are, i.e., bodyguard-gate); they don’t fight in public; they don’t call other celebrities names or engage in passive agressive shizz about them; they don’t release 60 pix of their ‘intimate’ wedding. (The Wedding of the Year — coming to a theatre near you!) They do their business. they make their movies; they raise their kids; they do their philanthropic/humanitarian work; they try to make their fame work for the good of the order. In the hollywood pantheon of mediawh***s, they don’t even make the JV squad!
Any non-Perez confirmation of the NOLA arrival?
Frenchy - I am not too sure about Angelina on Oprah. I actually don’t think she is into shows with a live audience any more. As a matter of fact, I FEAR for her if she ever enter than min-van majority territory. :-(
I am suprised that she is doing LKing but then again, she is with other cast members.
kk1 Says: November 28th, 2006 at 11:34 pm - yeah, but its a little too late…. in the height of all the cr*p, when all the blogs and tabs where going on and on about it…. they said NOTHING…… T/G is now over and then the stupid moronic media is asking if was TRUE…..
I think too many people spoke up too soon on the Brad/Angie/Jen saga without really knowing the truth behind the matter. Even though Brad and Angie spoke candidly about Angie not being involved in the break-up of his marriage, people chose sides too soon. I don’t think Oprah does not want Angie but now she probably does not know how to make the right connection that would make all the things she did go away. Remember what Brad said at the Babel premier? something like, it is better when they are not bashing you, I heard that too. They heard everything that everyone said, they just chose to maintain a dignified silence. VF did their own bad mouthing and the only way to get Brad back on the cover is by being sneaky.
I’m doing well, I’m not sick anymore. :) I’m close to finishing my Jon and Angie fic..what fun the last chapter will be, at least I think so lol
truth Says: November 28th, 2006 at 11:47 pm - one of the main reasons i don’t her or Brad to go on Okra is because i think she would pull a James Frey on them…. i remember when Uma was the show, and u just the feeling she wanted Uma to bash Ethan, even Uma kept saying they had children and its two people who cause a marriage to end.

i don’t think she would be above doing a letterman or The Tonight Show or even all those one’s that come on later even the super lame Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah they have had a field day with Brad & Angelina’s relationship and her adoptions but, I sould see her rising above it all to promote her film. As far as the mini van audience, I always suspect Oprah’s audience to be sometimes tailored to the guests. I know this happens in the industry. How could everyone like a particular guest? Some people have no interest in celebrities, yet here are the audiences whopping it up with Will Smith & his son. I have a feeling they take a group from a screening and make a show with them as opposed to taking a group attending the Oprah show to a screening. Angelina has nothing to hide and she should talk about her film wherever she wants.
Amaya:November 28th, 2006 at 11:49 pm
I am glad that you are feeling much better Amaya, and I can’t wait for your next update to the Jon and Angie’s fic, I know it is going to be great
LMAO @ George Clooney with his running gag with Brad. Expect Brad to be next with an answer somewhere. LOL!!!!
QQQQ:November 28th, 2006 at 11:43 pm
I agree with you 4Q, it is a little to late, when that story first came out they the media instead of running with it, they should have find out if it was true first, like calling the X’s people or even that stupid twit could have release a statement saying that the story is not true, now thanksgiving has come and gone and the story were all over the web and media and now they are saying it is not true, oh please, we BAMZS Fans knew that story was crap from the beginning
Can someone tell me what george clooney said about brad on david letterman it would be much appreciated.
