Cate Blanchett on Brad Pitt
“It was great to have Brad there, to have that buoyancy. Brad’s open and funny, and he makes me laugh. He makes me think about the style of a film in a way I hadn’t thought about it before. He asks questions about the script that I wouldn’t even conceive of asking. He’s a very aesthetic being, and I’m probably quite an emotional being. So for me, selfishly, he brings that out in me.” — Cate Blanchett on working with Brad Pitt on their film Babel

To Alexanderina & Guli: Just read the sports page and their is alot of differing opinions in who should go to which Bowl. Some people think that Boise State should play Ohio State, because they are undefeated, but I thought the difficulty of your opponents weighed in on the decision. As long as I can start a fire, grab a laptop and watch the Wolverines in a bowl game, life is good.
Back to TBU and my enduring it last night…..my husband even came in and asked me if I was still awake (and it wasn’t even 11 PM yet).
Along with Meryl Streep, I really liked Charlize Theron in “Monster” - when I compare that role and how she transformed herself for that character, and then I think of X in TBU, well I just stop thinking then (wow, what a run-on sentence, Holy Batman!)
Talk to both Guli and you tonite when we know where our teams are headed.
When is the The Good Shepherd being released? Saw the trailer at the show and Angie looks great….big surprise…..a great movie for holiday viewing..
:) Say— you are funny :lol:
Man, I must have watched Mary Poppins over 100 times as the kids were growing up and never got bored…..
Babel is doing fine. Please ignore the people that are saying otherwise. It’s production budget is $20 million and it has made over $33 million. It is also showing in just over 600 sites in the U.S. currently and about 900 outside and it has grossed over $33 million without this weekend’s intake added. It’s has not opened in places like England and Germany. The people who say it is not a success are just dislaying their usual ‘put down’ attitude. Happy Sunday everyone.

Good morning, chickies.
Stimulating and intellect-expanding converstion going on I see. Ahem.
Gotta say, this renting a house thing is going wonderfully well for them. I think they’ll want to do this from now on when they’re on location.
The paps are down there and still no pics of the family or Angelina and the kids. I wonder why this is proving especially difficult.
———————————————————————————-
Remind me again. This ritzy works in the mail room or is a receptionist at some photo agency?

JA is at home laughing and is very happy, but she has to find a new man !!!! It is a pity she wasted time with a shallow heart. Dating fakes is easy, just go to Gold’s gym. The Walmart women need Brad more than Jen wanted him.
————————————————————————————————
:lol: :lol: omg thanks for the laugh, I like to know what you are smoking, cause you are to funny, oh btw I think that the X needs the Walmart women more than Brad ever would, she needs them, so they can see and buy her stupid and lame movies, and from what I am seeing and hearing, Brad is doing mighty fine, he has a great movie career, he is a producer, he has a wonderful life with Angie and their kids, he is one of the most respected and talented actor in HW, and plus he is hot and sexy, and what does the X have, hmmm let me think, oh yeah, she has NOTHING, but her two dogs.
Thanks J & A for the new thread.
I watched a story about Princess Di today, and a woman from Harlem NY who met with her once said something that made me think immediatly of Angelina.
She said that Lady Di went to the places she did because she knew that the world would follow her there. We’d have no choice but to see what’s going on in the worlds backyards. She knew her “celebrity” could be used to shine a light on the plight of others, and she had found her purpose in that along with being a mother to her sons who she would take out on the coldest of London nights alone, and to parts where homeless lived to show her kids how fortunate they were, and how they had a responsibility to help were they can, and they weren’t better than anyone else because of what they had been born to.
It just all made me think about Angelina Jolie, and wonder why is this so hard for people to understand that about Angelina? Everytime I read someone say “why does she have to be always in the news?” or “can’t she do anything without bringing attention to herself?” OR “they’re such media whores” I just want to cyber smack them silly.
Btw, I really think Princess Di and Angelina would be friends had things been different.
Everyone have a good day.

Boise State no way, are they kidding me? They would not last beyond the first quarter if they play OSU. Izzy, I am still shaking my head that you actually watched that movie lol, I haen’t seen Monster with Charlize Theron, but I heard that it was good, she is good enough actress. TGS released date is 12/22
IZZY- Just read you are a fan of Jessica Lange.I am too. Got 2 of her movie from the library. BROKEN FLOWERS, with Bill Murray and DON”T COME KNOCKING with Sam Shepard. Also in the later pic. is a really oldie star, Eva Marie Saint.
Both are wonderful movies. . JLange and S.Shepard, Just like the Sarandon/Robbins, Russell/Hawn has shown the naysayers that love ,partnership and family commitment will survive without that piece of paper-marriage contract.
I know the Jolie-Pitt relationship will last as long as those couples I mentioned above. It’s been almost 2 yrs. after his divorce and the recent sightings with their beautiful children are positive indications of a loving relationship.
Thanks to JJ and Audrey- Best site for Jolie-Pitt fans.
I should say ‘Separation not Divorce.
Some of you are really excellent re- Jolie-Pitt-timelines.
My apologies…….
Looks like we’re co-opting this thread, cool lol Original Curious, I’m glad you loved the update…but how about Howard? He’s was being pretty b*llsy w/ his porky pig and “Cheney will shoot you too” line. Although I agree, Kerry does have thick hair. :) Snaps for Nancy for getting to pick out her new drapes :lol: Expect an update in a few.

A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey

Good luck will rub off when
I shake ‘ands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that’s lucky too
Now as the ladder of life
‘As been strung
You may think a sweep’s
On the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time
In the ashes and smoke
In this ‘ole wide world
There’s no ‘appier bloke
Up where the smoke is
All billered and curled
‘Tween pavement and stars
Is the chimney sweep world
When the’s ‘ardly no day
Nor ‘ardly no night
There’s things ‘alf in shadow
And ‘alf way in light
On the roof tops of London
Coo, what a sight!
I choose me bristles with pride
Yes, I do
A broom for the shaft
And a broom for the flume
Though I’m covered with soot
From me ‘ead to me toes
A sweep knows ‘e’s welcome
Wherever ‘e goes
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
When you’re with a sweep
You’re in glad company
No where is there
A more ‘appier crew
Than them wot sings
“Chim chim cher-ee
Chim cher-oo!”
On the chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee
Chim cher-oo!

Hiya Original jpf, great post, thanks for posting it and I agree. And I think that Angie does the same thing as well, she goes to places where she knows that the media would follow her and she turns the media spotlight not on herself but on those places and the plight of the people living in those places and let the world see how these people are suffering and that something need to be done to help them.
Have a good day yourself jpf

Team Lara Croft ….
Yeah well I wouldn’t mind it one bit if you toned your enthusiasm down on places like Dlisted. It is a losing battle trying to get them people on those sites to feel as you do, and second because you have made it damn hard to even mention being a Brangelina fan without being called over the top JustJAred Brangelunitic. I am not saying or trying to tell you what to do, but I know i am not alone wishing the cheerleading didnt end up looking like you repping everybody else who loves B&A. Cant hardly nobody post 3 words on one of their threads already without a fight because MK set a nasty tone, but then you come and push the buttons more and its so feeling on purpose. Please chill it down a notch and stop trying to convince them ******* there. They are there to be nasty and not nice.

Defending the Jolie -Pitts on other sites is like explaining quantum physics to a two year old-they will NEVER get it. Funny thing is, if Brad and Angie came to their house, they would welcome them and gush all over themselves!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good Mama and Malibumom : I get your points. But you know, if they can post the most racist and vile comments everytime a Zahara picture goes up on those threads then certainly they can put up with my ranting about how wonderful Brangelina is.
Too often people like that want to shut you up by being racist and cruel - I can’t even repeat some of the things I have heard on that thread. I have even emailed Dlisted on how offensive and racist I think some of the posters are and they should be banned but it is hard to ban them.
I made a decision, particularly when my little niece was born who is part black and part white, that whenever racists spill their venom, I would argue right back with them. They want us to crawl in a hole and say nothing.
It may be a losing battle but I’m willing to fight it. On a Madonna tread with a picture of David Banda on her back, one poster said Madonna had “a monkey on her back”. That is unacceptable and foul. So that is why I talk back to them.
Last, they should not think I represent ALL BAMZS fans just as much as Zahara and David Banda do not represent all little black kids. I do the same in my office with people who indirectly support Mel Gibson’s tirades, etc. I go out of my way to set them straight. It may not get through but it is, for me, worth the fight.
I work in Entertainment, in Los Angeles, and you would think people would be more open minded here but you will be alarmed to hear some comments made even toward Angelina - who many have never even met. Jealousy, I tell ya.
Hope you all are having a good morning.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When Aniston can do a project and it’s promotion without making it about Brad and their breakup, then I’ll believe she’s moved on and is happy. It’s going on two years and it’s still all about him.
No wonder Vaughn dumped her sad ass. I’d be a bit peeved too, if everything circled back to a man that ran so fast away from her that she’s still tasting his dust.
Holy Moley, a weekly British gossip e-mail service that is similar to popbitch, is reporting that Jennifer Aniston has been visiting Vince Vaughn on the London set of his new film, and that she’s quite obviously pregnant. I thought these two were broken up a long time ago, and if Aniston is in London why haven’t we seen pictures? Oh, that’s right, no one gives a **** about her any more.
Also, the power-players on the set (we all know it’s the drivers) report than Jennifer Aniston has been dragging her huge chin there to watch her beau spin out strands of comedy magic, and she’s quite obviously lugging a mini-Vince around in her womb as she’s sweating for two.
The poor sods who have to do the real acting (learning words and not just standing there with a quizzical look and gurning), Paul Giametti and John Michael Higgins, are described as “lovely”.
[From the Holy Moley weekly e-mail newsletter]
Holy Moley also reports that Vaughn is rewriting the script of his new film between takes, delaying production and probably costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I thought Aniston was pregnant when she looked a bit paunchy at the premieres of “The Break Up,” back in June but that turned out not to be true. If she’s pregnant now it might be just what she needs to get some publicity and get her career back on track. She most likely realizes this. I’m not saying she convinced Vince to leave the condom off or anything, but it seems possible to me - if this suspect gossip is even true. Life & Style was also calling her pregnant in June. It’s possible she is visiting Vince and she just has a little bitty tummy.

I agree with GM. I was over on DLISTED a few weeks back and I forget what thread I was in ( it was not even about B&A) and I saw TLC’s name yelling about B&A being the best. I was slightly cringing thinking damn we are not all like her. Of course people see some of the crazy B&A fans and lump us all together.

Lainey said the same thing on Friday.
Oh, please let her be pregnant. Because if Aniston is indeed pregnant and if she married VV, then she will stop talk about Brad.
I also meant to say to ritzy,
What’s the matter, your photo agency can’t find them and you’re here doing their scut work. What, do you get a little bonus if you locate them?

Also PS: The word Brangelunatic is a word started while back by anti-Angie nutsos before I started posting- used on Perez Hilton I have heard - a site I have practically given up on it’s so juvenile. At the same time the word Fanistons was being used. Like they say, Sticks and Stones may break my bones….oh you know the rest.
When did my America become so populated with so much hatred and awfulness? I did not have a sense of it until the blogging culture and it horrified me to think that such awful people exist in our country. Why is this?
I guess important to focus on the good ones though. But I was raised to be a tough chick who puts up a good fight for good causes. Thus my screen name…:) :)
My mom used to take me to Silence=Death AIDS marches in the 80’s when no one would even look at peopel with AIDS. And they used to call us “f—g lovers”. I did not get what everyone was screaming about but I knew for some reason my mom was doing something right. PPS: Now, I know why my mom’s buddies were always wearing pink when I was a kid - hmmm!

Oh please! X is supposed to be pregnant since the divorce according to tabloids and gossip. Those rumours have been around for tow years already and never proven to be true. Huvane just have to recycle old stories to keep her in the news in any way he can. And it’s widely known that any British publication and especially their tabloids are printing outright lies about everyone. Plus if she was really pregnant she would have been out in public so everyone can see it. It’s just another Havuniston PR game.

But we scream out how much we love them here, don’t we? And we are really good at silencing the haters here, aren’t we? Why not elsewhere?
If they can call Angelina “whorelina” or say she is a homewrecker or call her “buying babies of color” or say Zahara is I won’t repeat then my instinct is to say how much I love them and how much I loathe how the media has turned Angelina into the Devil woman and Aniston some sort of Saint.
The whole thing is quite sexist. Goes back to literature like The Scarlett Letter where a woman who is sexual and beautiful must be stoned and ostracized whereas the non threatening woman, Aniston, is canonized as some Mother Theresa.
Funny the woman who is helping orphans is not canonized.
Those racists and sexists on Dlisted want you to be silent. Silence=Death. Well maybe not death in this case… :) (that was a little dramatic)
:)
Team Lara Croft, cool
so, you work in the film industry, yes?
I’m just happy that the truth, what we’ve known all along, is now common knowledge.
Angelina is a kind hearted woman first, and a talented beautiful actress second.
Brad was a long suffering husband who literally “escaped” from a loveless marriage.
X is a bitter conniving women who’s greatest tragedy is that she lost her membership to the film industry’s A-list club
