Like you Cliniqua. You are direct & if the haters are hurting their egos the better. Love it. Keep it up. I am using anon for now just in case the stupid haters come back with their contraband names
Thanks Santa Luv. You are so kind to do this.
Courtney Says: Love your site and that you add so many pics of Angelina and the kids.
He chased her like she was a ***** in heat. But wait —she was.
Way to go ME! Those fanistons are bunch of swines alright. All they good at are spew hatred. You can really tell their educational attainment. Elementary to the utmost.
Santa Luv we owe you, what do you want my first born, she in her third year at B.C.
P.S. Full scholarship too.
I mean to say, Aniston.
I love Matt Damon. That is all. :-)
Explain, let me try…..
I think what Angelina is trying to convey, and sometimes it’s difficult with her because she expresses literally, the feelings she’s having as oposed to telling what happened in a linear fashion but here goes….
I don’t think Angelina is saying, that in (July was it?) when they went to get Zahara, that they hadn’t already been intimate with each other. Hell, anyone who saw the premiere night footage of MAMS in Hollywood, or the last scene shot in the therapist’s office (rumored to have been done, about a week before the film premiered in June of 2005) knows they were TOGETHER. I think what she is saying is that their relationship was new, and that though they had esssentially had an emotional connection/bond and deep friendship with each other for a good year or more while filming MAMS, they had become ‘used’ to NOT being together and NOT being a family…so when it finally became a reality, where BAM! they were this new family unit - answering the adoption social worker’s questions about their ‘family unit’ was odd for them…because they had a tight-knit history of being together, WITHOUT really being together…..
Does that make sense?
I THINK this is what AJ is saying anyway.
Anyone else want to chime in?
lolol

when Zahara was sick, so I was very involved. The baby’s mother was dead, but a woman came forward and said, ” I’m the baby’s grandmother, and I want her back.” There was no grandmother; it was never proved. Angie suffered terribly.
****
Remember Brad was also sick doing this time. So Angelina had alot on her plate at that time.
Lainey, Lainey, Lainey, God bless you! Guys you just have to forgive Lainey for she knows not what she does. LOL! In her blind admiration of the almost Mrs. Pitt and her unrelenting persecution of the rebound Mrs. Pitt she is deeply mired and entrenched in conspiracy theories. Why do you ask? Well, just look at the previous 2 Mrs Pitts, although different in appearances and personalities both share several common denominators. 1)Both were involved in a serious relationships with one Mr. Pitt. Obvious observation I know, but it had to be said as this is the key to everything. 2)Both have Blond/blind ambition in regards to their careers. 3)Both used Brad for reason #2. 4)Both didn’t think twice in making Brad expendable in order raise their own overpriced stock. So you see dear friends the real conspirators are the former Mrs. Pitts. It is in this atmosphere that Lainey has transferred the traits (past and present) of the previous Mrs Pitts onto B&A. Most of us BAMZS fans knows that GP and JA are media hunters of the first order. They court it at every opportunity available. They are not above still using Brad’s cache if it will extend the spotlight to them somehow. Yet, are we apprised of their OBVIOUS machinations? Are conspiracy theories analyzed and discussed regarding some of their strategic actions? Does Lainey realize this is happening? Does she care? The answer to this is NNYN. The next obvious question is Why? I suspect that because of her previous/current worship of all things GP she would prefer not to bring attention to the fact that these 2 former Mrs Pitts actually are quite alike, and not in a good way. One way to deflect attention away from this fact is to attach their worst traits on to the objects of their envy/jealousy/reluctant admiration - B&A. Now I’m not a naive person. I consider myself sceptical about most things that I cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Yet, I also rely on my gut/instinct about things. It above everything else can be relied on even when my logic fails me. My gut/instinct has always told me that B&A are the genuine article. I am happy to say that facts and logical analysis is bearing out the truth of those instincts. I will not say that they do not have a strategy in how they handle their image with the media. All Hollywood types in Hollyweird does. But to say that every move they make is premeditated is beyond idiotic and not to mention irresponsible to those naive enough to believe everything they read. By now all of us have read the excerpts in Vogue in Angelina’s interview. Yes, she an extremely intelligent and shrewed young woman. She is also brutally honest, extremely unpredictible and totally expressive about what is close to her heart. She does not base her life decisions on how the media and the public perceives what she is doing. And Brad plays with the deck so close to his chest for me to presumes each step he makes is pre-meditated would be extremely presumptuous and wrong.
Lainey, I enjoy reading your gossip sometimes, but your irrationality about B&A is extremely. I have a suggestion for you. I advise jumping ship and switch your idol worship to Angie. As someone said earlier, you’ll never be bored or regret it.
Good Luck Brad. All the best on your nomination. Win or not we are here to support you & Angelina!
Love to hear about the nomination. I was watching the nomination this morning & getting ready to work but on the channel I was watching it, they did not show the supporting nominees. Now I know Brad will be there at the red carpet.
QQQQ — thanks for your response — I agree I really don’t think they were together other than really good freinds attracted to each other when they were in Kenya. I think they enjoyed each other’s company and wanted to strengthen that friendship to see where it was going. Just a thought - is it possible that the followup visits from the social worker were done before Zahara was brought home. Like they were follow up to the application process. That would make more sense chronologically to what was said. Another thing, I always wondered if Angie had picked Zahara because she saw a bit of herself in her face - the lips in particular. But from what this article is saying it appears she had no choice in the actual “picking” because she had started the process and both she and Brad saw the file with the picuture of Zahara at the same time. I gather from this that she didn’t go to Ethiopia and say “I’ll take that one”. I find that amazing that someone picked a child for Angie that resemles her.
Cliniqua - you are probably right. Angie said “I mean , on occassion we are obviously capable of being very adult with each other.” Re-looking at that sounds like they could have been intimate.
Thanks for the hard work Santa luv. it’s great appreciated
explain Says: December 15th, 2006 at 2:16 am - No, because prior to July, after Zee spent a week in the hospital after coming home, they never lived together. (Some time in June they were at Angie home in the UK, then they went to Ethiopia to meet/finalize the adoption, then they went back to pick her up a couple of weeks later).
I think both she and Brad got an apology from Man.
———
This made me LOLed.
The scene Robert was talking about came from Playing By Heart. I love that scene when Ryan was listening to her conversation with her ex. she was brilliant
Jolie tells me that she took the part mostly because she “was just really curious about” being directed by De Niro. “He’s fascinating,” she says. “I think a lot of people are scared of him. But I ended up liking him so much. He’s a real artist. And he respects someone who works hard-even if he thinks you are wrong, he will give you that.”
It should come as no surprise that making movies has not been a big priority in Jolie’s life lately. What film role could possibly more exciting–or more sweepingly romantic, for that matter– than her own epic life story? Indeed, when I ask about her future plans, she mentions film almost as an afterthought. “I’ll always work with refugees. I’d love to have more kids and continue to explore the world and travel a lot and live abroad. I don’t think much about film. But i’m sure I’ll do more; I’m sure there will be some projects that I’ll get excited about.”
The Good Shepherd is Jolie’s first film since Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which reestablished her box-office clout - and justified her $15 million price tag- after several clunkers in a row, like Taking Lives and Alexander. Later this years she will appear in Roberts Zemeckis’s Half animated, half-live-action version of Beowulf as Grendel’s mother, and she has also committed to starring in an upcoming production of Atlas Shrugged. And just after i meet with Jolie in Los Angeles, she and Pitt pack up their brood and move to India for three months, where neither actor has ever been and where they are working together–he as the producer, she as the star (opposite Dan Futterman)– on A Mighty Heart, a film firected by Michael WInterbottom and based on the book by Daniel Pearl’s widow, Mariane. When Pitt and Aniston were still together, their production company, Plan B, bought the rights to the book, which tells the story of the people who came to Mariane’s aid, including an Indian woman and a Pakistani muslim man, after her husbands was kidnapped by Islamic militants. A few years ago, Aniston told me in an interview she was very excited about “nurturing” the project and that she was even considering playing Mariane. “I would love to think that I could. We’ll have to see when it happens” (DREAM ON MANISTON!)
Now it is Jolie’s part. In many ways, it makes perfect sense. “We have a lot of things in common,” says jolie. “Mariane worked for many years in radio and journalism in different area of migration. So, obviously my working with refugees… we have just great discussions about a lot of women’s issues and issues to do with children that we both care a lot about.”
Unfortunately for the Jolie-Pitts, they were met in India with madness. Through much of October there were constant stories of the paparazzi mob that followed them everywhere they went. One day I got an email from Jolie’s longtime assistant, Holly Goline: ” We are barely surviving in INdia ” (!!!!!!!!)
This, as Aniston can attest, is the downside to being Brad Pitt’s lady. For some reason, he whips the media into a special kind of frenzy . When I first met Jolie in 2001, she traveled alone to the airport with just a backpack. She had no cell phone, no email address, wore no watch on her wrist. She prized her freedom above all else. Today, she neurotically checks her BlackBerry every few minutes while bodyguards lurks in the shadows. At one point I ask her what has been the most dificult aspect of the last couple of years. “Having less privacy,” she says. “It’s only difficult because I love my freedom. I just become that much more public, and it was something i knew would happen, and it was almost a reason not to make the choice i made. I knew i would be sacrificing certain things. And that for the kids is the most difficult. I think about that with Mad. Even when we were shooting Mr. & Mrs Smith. Mad and I would go to the parks and run around, and occassionally someone would follow me home from the set and I’d get photographed. People weren’t outside my house every day. We could really go to the park, we could go for walks, we could get a coffee, he and i would do grocery shopping. And now we can’t do those things. Hopefully it will fade away. We’re a new family, and soon it will be less interesting.
QQQQ,
explain Says: December 15th, 2006 at 1:48 am - Okay, i think she is saying because by the time they adopted Z, they had just come together as a family, they really didn’t know how to define themselves…( i think i have to agree with O JPF, when she said that they didn’t do the deed in Kenya). Because when they were doing the movie, they were co stars who became really, really good friends, remained good friends after the shoot wrapped…..eventually they decided to be truthfull to each other about the way they really felt, but they still didn’t jump into a relationship…she went thru a lot of should i, do i want to do this? I guessing it was sometime in June that Madd called him dad and that’s when she finally decided to take the plunge 100%. So by July, they still couldn’t believe that they were actually together…. ofcourse this is just my take, i could be completely off….
——————————————-
I like your explanation.
I think Angie was not sure about family thing. Because family means including Mad and she was extra careful about Mad being involved with a man as dad capacity. So I think Brad was very careful and played with Mad a lot until Mad called him as dad, and then I think Brad said to Angie that now they can be a family because Mad accepted Brad as a dad. Remember the DS interview of Brad? When DS asked about relationship with Angie, he said he did not know and there were individual factors involved. I think the main factor was Mad. I think Angie was very strong about Mad’ decision.
Santa Luv,
Thanks so much for typing it.
You are great.
Cliniqua, great job reading between the lines. I was confused because she does not always finish her sentences, but you magically filled in some blanks and I think your interpretation is dead-on. This is such a great time for all of us who’ve suffered with Brangelina Deprivation. We will be seeing them and reading about them more and more. Congratulations and Good Luck to my beloved Brad Pitt.
QQQQ - thanks for your response. Well it’s night night for me. Quite a pleasant thread late at night - but sorry to say it’s way too late for me now.
Thanks JJ! Your keeping us so well informed.

Same with Z. We’ve tried to make them very adaptable, so when we go to a country like India or certain parts of Namibia, they’re happy to play with sticks and rocks outsied-thet’re happy to blend.

Hi BCBG!
No dolls i played with sticks and rocks when i was little. I like what Angie & Brad ways of raising the children.

Also, here’s Brad Blanks at the TGS premiere. I like him, he also referred to Ricky Gervais’s longtime girlfriend as “Missus” too! I love how you can hear Holly laughing.

Amaya, that guy is very funny!! :lol: :lol: ROTF laughing so LOUD!
Thanks for the link.
A week after the photo shoot in the desert I find myself back at the same suite in Beverly Hills. Jolie seems agitated and looks pale. She has a cold, it turns out, and is clutching a wad of Kleenex. In a matter of days, she will be in India speaking in Mariane Pearl’s accent. She is hiding out in a hotel room here, studying French. “I’ve been trying to do it at home for the past few weeks, and it’s just impossible to focus. Somebody is always … the kids come and go from school, and then Shiloh’s having a moment. So I just came here to have a little bit of quiet.”
At last, a crack in the armor, a sign that her life can be complicated and that being a mother of three can be downsright overwhelming. Because she seems particularly vulnerable today, sitting with her legs pulled up to her chest with her very skinny arms wrapped around them, I ask: Who helps you through the most dificult moment? “Brad,” she says. “He’s the person closest to me. That said. I’ve often been accused of not talking about my personal things. I mean,, even with Brad, He usually has to draw something out of me. I have had a lot of people–ex husbands, et cetera–kind of suggest that they’d be very open to being a shoulder to cry on. If I had the inclination, it would be very lovely if i could possibly let that go. But I have this odd sense of, It’s not going to accomplish anything to cry. It’s not going to help you to get to get a hug! I’m not a hugger. People make fun of me. It’s something that i have a hard time with. If someone hugs me i hold my breath. Snuggling, cuddling, hugging, crying… all that stuff makes me very uncomfortable.”
What about with your kids?
“Oh i love hugging my kids,” she says. “It’s a different thing because you feel such a genuine grab from them. Whereas I think adults, we do an odd thing; we tend to just hide in each other’s shoulder when we’re upset.”
Jolie famously hasn’t spoken to her father, the actor Jon Voight, in five years, but she is very close to her mother, Marcheline Bertrand.
I ask her, Do you ever call your mother crying if you’ve had a bad day?
“No I’m never that person.”
Whom do you trust?
“I dont trust anyone.”
Really?
“Yeah,” she says. “I dont think it’s a good thing. This is going to make you think that maybe i should get some therapy, but trust is such a bizarre word. I’d like to say that i trust my mother, but i also dont know if she might do something that she thinks is in my best interest. I trust that Brad will never do anything…” She trails off. “I don’t know. I dont’t trust anybody completely.”
