Brad & Angelina’s Pictures in Cambodia

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope everyone will have a wonderful chrustmas especially the Pitt family… :D

God bless

Thanks OC, and others - appreciate the kind words re my post. :-)

I was shocked flipping through Life & Style (cover has Katie Holmes Preg Again?), I saw the most gorgeous full length two page spread of Brad and Angelina on the red carpet from the premiere — (seriously, you can see them from their shoes on the red carpet to the ceiling) and the story was…get this…POSITIVE (gasp! thud!) — well, of course I just had to buy it to reward L&S for their good deed, and also because the pics were gorgeous.

My scanner isn’t hooked up right now…hopefully Sammie will have these soon on her site.

But here are the captions, and the headings…you’ll swoon….it reads:

HOT BODY LANGUAGE
They’re So In Love!

1st big pic - THEY’RE SNUGGLING CLOSE When Angie, 31, and Brad 43, finally made their first red carpet debut at the Dec 11, premiere of her flick ‘The Good Shepherd’, they went all out. (His jacket lining even matched her dress!) “His foot is positioned towards her which is a sign of committement,” says body language expert Ray McGraime.

2nd big pic- BRAD’S BEING PROTECTIVE “Angie’s clutching at her dress, which is a sign of nervousness,” says McGraime. “But she leans on Brad for support.” When asked, “Are you proud of Angelina?” he replied, “Very much so!”

3rd big pic - ANGIE’S LOOK of LOVE! “Angelina’s upraised chin and sidelong glance at him are signs of adoration,” says McGraime. The way Brad continually angles his body towards her shows that the feeling is definitely mutual.

SIDEBAR STORY:

On Dec 10 Lee’s Art Shop in NYC closed it’s fourth floor so that Jolie-Pitt kids Maddox, 5, and Zahara, nearly 2 could have a private shopping spree.

BRAD & ANGIE: MORE BABIES!

Caption of Lee’s Art Store pic: “Brad and Angie checked out everything with their kids,” says an onlooker. “They’re wonderful parents.”

STORY: Looks like the worlds going to keep getting prettier! On Dec 8, Angie announced that she and Brad plan to expand their 5 person family. “I’d liek to add many more childrento my life,” said the star. “I’m very very lucky. I love the different elements of my life. I love working abroad, and I love being with my kids. And I love being with Brad.” An insider close to Brad confirms to Life & Style that the duo, who welcomed daughter Shiloh 6 months ago, have baby on the brain. “They’ve promised friends that they’re going to have a bigger family in the next year,” says the insider. “If Angie’s ready to carry another baby, they’ll go the biological route. But adopting is just as likely. They love their kids, and they keep saying they want more, more, more!”

First, let me say off the bat that I’m not a hater. I’ve supported Angelina and Brad as a couple from the first time I heard they were together. My gut told me it felt right and I went along with that. It was wonderful to see Brad become a dad to Maddox, and then came along Zahara. Seeing Brad hold her made me even more sure that Angelina and Brad were good for each other. I wasn’t even shocked by the pregnancy and knew it was coming. Shiloh is gorgeous and up until a month ago, I was a faithful fan. Don’t get me wrong, I still am but questions that I had pushed away are springing up again. This last week full of Angelina’s interviews made me think about those questions again.

One question was how comitted are these two to each other. Every serious relationship they have had, it seems like they jumped into head first. They give those relationships their all and in a matter of few years, they all come to an end. Angelina stated that she realized JLM and BBT were her friends, not the love of her lives after she separated for them. She talked about both of them so lovingly when she was with them. Even then, she mentioned that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with each of them respectively. Now, I read Angelina talking about her love for Brad and I wonder, is this true? I do think they are in love but how does Angelina know she is in a relationship with her love, not a friend whom she shares common interests with and love for their children.

I had been iffy of Brad before I came around to finally becoming a big fan of his also. I have questioned his taste in women from the past so that makes me question him now. He always jumps into his relationships just like Angelina. He never leaves a relationship unless there is another option for him waiting. It’s like he just clings on till he finds someone better. I know people accuse him of not having a personality and looking like his partners. I know he’s an overall good guy, but I do think he’s never taken the time in his life to find himself. He’s always in search of someone else, but never himself. When he was with X, he appeared very shallow. He was the golden boy who attended an occasional fashion show, went tanning, had perfect hightlights and great clothes. I know there was and is more to him than that but only his shallowness came across. When he’s with Angelina, he’s suddenly not into dressing up or tanning. He’s all about helping others. (there is nothing wrong with helping others) I don’t think he has ever tried to look like his significant other, but sometimes, it does appear that he is devoid of thinking for himself. He also comes across as too naive for his own good. Did he actually believe that “Jen doesn’t have a mean bone in her body” after the divorce? She screwed with his mind so much during their marriage yet he saw no wrong in her? He hangs on to relatioships till it sours and when he gets hurt, then he moves on. When Paltrow cheated, that’s when he ended the relationship. When his marriage turned completely sour, that’s when he moved on. He was in therapy for the first two years of his marriage yet he stayed for so long!!! He doesn’t seem to have the ability to cut his losses at a good time. Also, the women in his life are all opposites.

Paltrow gets dumped. He moved on to Aniston. She’s the complete opposite of the movie star Paltrow, Aniston was a TV girl. Paltrow was the rich princess, and Aniston was regarded as the cute girl who was considered a sweetheart. He divorces Aniston and gets attracted to Angelina. Angelina is the exact opposite of Aniston. She’s the international movie star with the looks and fame that Aniston never had. She’s not regarded as the sweetheart, but rather the wild child. People may say Brad likes variety, but I find myself wondering if he’s lost and can’t figure out what he wants in a woman. He’s wanted children forever but is that it? He gave Paltrow a baby carriage for her birthday. He married Aniston with the intent of having a family. He saw Angie wanting more kids, so he went for it. Would he have really married the stuck up Paltrow if she wasn’t stupid enough to cheat? Would he have stuck around with manipulative Aniston if she had gotten pregnant? We all say thank god he got away from those two, but that’s not what really happened. Circumstances pushed him away or else he would have married Paltrow or stayed with Aniston if she pushed out a baby. So I have to question a man whose taste includes women like Paltrow and Aniston.

Moving on to Angelina. What really gets to me is her disassociation of even doing anything remotely wrong in her life, EVER. I’m not talking about cheating with Brad. I don’t think they cheated but Angelina did play a role in Brad being attracted to her. Even with BBT, how could Angie not know he was engaged? How is it all BBT’s fault that he forgot to tell her that? She has to be aware of such things. She knew him a year before she got with him, so she must have kept up some kind of communication with him. Should I believe that BBT never brought up Laura during their year long friendship? Yes, I know Laura Dern is scum because she cheated with BBT and then Ben Harper. Angie reminds me of a person that says she admits fault but cant actually site any situations where she has. That makes me seem like I don’t like her or that she is a bad person. Both are false. I really do like her, but it is her inability to truly admit fault and her obvious inability to put someone else’s intentions and feelings over her own means she is limited to how close she can get to other people.

Between reading Brad’s interviews (mostly with the foreign press) and now Angelina’s, I see many contradictions in what they both say.

I’m not saying I’m not a fan anymore, because I am, but these issues have entered my mind. If I eventually decide to become a nonfan, I would still like them to stay together. They do have three kids together and I woudn’t want to see any family break up. I will not becomes a sudden fan of Paltrow or Aniston, but my admiration for Angelina has been lowered a certain degree.

I also don’t think they should talk too much to the press anymore, it only hurts them in turn because their words get twisted and turned upside down. Angelina had every right to say her side for Vogue and she and Brad have been quite for a long time. I understand she has to do interviews for move promotions, but otherwise, they should change their stance on how they handle the media. Making Trevor Nieloson make a statement on their behalf to People magazine everytime they step out is getting out of hand now.

Also, I fear the work Angelina does for her humanatarian causes have become a joke in many people’s eyes. It doesn’t have an effect on the people she is helping but it necessary that her statuse as serious humanatarian remain intact because she has to go to meeting and meet with international figures and such. After a while, if peope think you’re becoming a caricature of your former self, they tune you out.

There, I said what I wanted to say. You can ignore me or bash me, I don’t really care. I had to let this out of my system. The thing is that I don’t ever want to become what the fans of X have become. A JOKE. They ooohh and ahhhed over pictures of Brad and X and said how cute they looked together. I don’t want to get caught up in the supeficiality of that. I don’t want to become one of those fans who quitely awwss and oohhs and never questions anything. If Brad and Angelina ever break up, and that is a big IF, I don’t want to be blinded and become what the X fans are. Their lack of understanding reality is astounding. They are still stuck in the past. I rather admire a person for the good they do but still not fear questioning some of their actions or words.

I am always amazed at the level of stupidity of some people - now, I know who Danny Bonaduce is, he’s the drug addled transvestite fooking (shades of Eddie Murphy?) alcoholic former child star, who had a reality show where he goes apeshit on his wife abuses her, and lashes out physically when drunk. Dude HAS to be damn near fifty if not more. Now you’d think, someone who claims to have gotten their act together (or maybe not - I don’t know how fooked up he was on this season of his lame reality show), admits to being a clearly awful human being - would see someone like Angelina, who once said (paraphrasing) ‘I stopped fighting myself, and being so self-destructive, and fighting for something WORTH fighting for - it saved me,’ — basically you know, that’s what Angie touts, that when you do for others, *and she HAS on a GRAND SCALE* YOUR LIFE actually can get better. That’s what she’s all about - never judging anyone….and YET oddly enough, these schmucks who have literally been in and out of jail, drug addicted, alcoholics,
or in and out of marriages with trophy wives who’ve they’ve cheated on repeatedly - just people who are TRASH (In MY opinion….) choose to attack her. It’s just BIZARRE.

The only thing I can figure - is that it gets down to basics as someone said before — these goats either are jealous of Pitt for being with her - so they think they’re sticking it to him, by insulting her, or they’re jealous of her Pitt for being with her…because SHE is getting most of the rancor from these garbage cans, I think it’s what they figure is the worst way to insult Brad….seriously, Angelina’s controversial period was more than 6-7 years ago…and you never heard a PEEP from people maligning her character, except to point to specific incidents that had been blown up and ridiculed in the media…vial of blood, the brother stuff…and even tHEN, it wasn’t OTHER celebs, it was gossip writers and late night talk show hosts. But NOW, when she’s turned her life around, and become a humanitarian she gets this sh*t??

Seriously, it’s Brad Pitt.

BOTTOMLINE: They secretly loathe him, and didn’t mind when he was with the UGLY TV STAR who looks like Dustin Hoffman, but now that he’s with a woman men fantasize and dream about (much of it is sexual jealous pure and simple ), and people in the industry KNOW how GONE Brad is for AJ…they have decided to try and hurt someone they KNOW he is in love with.

…it also may be as someone suggested (please pipe up…as I can’t recall post..want to give credit), there’s no way, these types are ever going to make a leap into film and win Oscars — there careers and LIVES are more than half over…lolol - they are TV stars, Brad & Angelina for them, are a diff species…a diff world….being movie icons. They may figure between the woman attempting to a mini producer of syndicated cable (Cox), and millionaire tv girl Aniston…they could possibly have their careers rejuvenated by them…the fooked up part is, Maniston and her no-talent ass once complained about reality TV, and how it was taking jobs away from people like her…she referred to it as ’sh*t.’ So indirectly, Maniston wants to take food directly out of Bonaduces kids mouthes.

Yet Angie gets slammed???

Again, I think it’s a lot of diff variables, sexual jealousy of Brad, the fact that mentioning her in any capacity gets them publicity, and the fact that these are TV people…not film stars, who think their bread and butter is coming from other places.

What I may write him and convey is that I once caught a brief clip of his reality show, and I actually felt for someone that f**ked up…I didn’t judge, I sympathized…but now, I literally HATE him. Will never even THINK about tuning in to anything that has his name connected to it - and I’m sure I’m speaking for thousands maybe more. I don’t even need to hear or know what it was, I don’t WANT to know..all I need to know is that he was speaking ill of Angie, and I’m done. Hate Him. He’s in the Trump, and Michael Douglas pile.

The hilarious part is, I had nothing against him 27 minutes ago. LOLOL

These idiots really don’t think about the consequences before some foul nasty sh*it comes pouring from their mouths.

I think I will also make sure he sees this post….wonder if the idiot has an e-mail address.

Thanks for the warm welcome Phie!

My two cents:

I think people who dislike Angelina so much (aka “haters” but I’ll go with the word “critics” for now) are people that are thrown off by the different facets of her personality and life. Angelina is not perfect and both fans and critics alike agree that she has had a “tumultous” past. People who today call her ugly names such as sl*t. wh*re, hypocrite, etc. tend to be those people who are incapable of taking who she is now and reconciling it with her past or other facets of her life. You will see this in the way they refer to her past actions/other parts of her life (like the vials of blood, not speaking to her father) and such to discredit all the good that she is doing or all the admirable traits she has. For example, to the critics, its unfathomable how a person who makes a living out of the glamorous Hollywood can be so at home in some of the most seemingly desolate places in the world pursuing charity work. They would rather believe that Angelina has ulterior motives rather than believe that a person is capable of straddling both worlds comfortably. They are confused that a woman who has the steel to withstand the cruel world of Hollywood can have such a soft heart for the down trodden. Similarly, to critics, it is impossible that the once rebel wild child can turn into a loving mother and generous and kind-hearted human being. They would rather people stay rooted in reckless and destructive behavior rather than have them learn from their mistakes, grow and become better people. The critics’ problem with Angelina is that she breaks stereotypes and has a way of making things neither black nor white but something in between. Therefore, to these critics, Angelina’s very existence threatens their world order or something. It makes it harder for them to pigeonhole people. In a way, the critics are very limited in the way they want to view the world. Critics are baffled when they look at how Angelina values family and then are confused by her not talking to her father. To them, this seeming inconsistency is hypocrisy on her part but they don’t stop to consider the possibility that there may be a common thread there that may reconcile the two aspects of her, such as, perhaps what Angelina values about family units (nurture, support, unconditional love) is something that her father destroys when he’s in her life (by being judgmental, belittling her publicly, being inconsistent etc.) The critics are disillusioned that the seemingly fairy tale ending with Brad didn’t happen for Aniston–people’s favorite girl-next-door–but did for Angelina. They would rather believe that a match based on “prom king and queen” criteria is a better foundation for a relationship than a match based on shared values, outlook, goals etc. We can cite many other things but really it seems to boil down that the critics are uncomfortable with things that do not neatly fit into a particular box, especially at first glance. They can’t handle that Angelina, one of the people doing the most good out there in the world, is not a homely, timid plain jane virgin who lives life sensibly/cautiously and conforms to everyone’s expectations but is instead a drop-dead gorgeous woman that has spunk, lives life to the fullest and generally shrugs off other people’s opinions on what she ought to do, say or think. Angelina is complex and I think that’s what makes the critics hate her. Critics want to simplify her and reduce her to a one or two word adjective–sl*t, attention wh*re, homewrecker, father-hater, dirty, etc. but she is not susceptible to being summed up like that. So to the critics, I suggest you stop trying and simply let her be. Angelina will not conform to the Victorian view that the only two types of women are virgins and wh*res. That attitude drove so many women insane with repressed emotions and desires back then and people that want to cling to that world view will suffer the same fate. The modern world is complex and it follows that the successful modern woman should be similarly complex to adapt to it. Hence why Angelina is where she is today.

I’m tired of pontificating now…

I call you a tabloid fan of Brad and Angelina. Very superficial view of both people. You may have scan their interviews but I doubt you have truly read them.

The pic of Angelina at Kinson. Doesn’t the outfit look like the one she wore in MAMS…the bodaga dance?

Let me explain something to you…

Doing what Britney did with K-fed is not going to legitimize them or make them more ‘married’ than what they’ve been since summer of 2005.
Now read Lola’s:

As to Brad, you leave out all the time inbetween his relationships. He really didn’t jump as fast as you make it seem. Also, he was calling Bono before he and Jen broke up about how he could help. I think you are taking what we see on the surface and applying too much to it. Also (and it’s a biggie), they BOTH are devoted to their children. Never in either’s relationships before now was that a factor.

Sorry for the long post, but Cliniqua’s and Lola’s posts deserve to be read in their entirety.

^^Coalharbouqt

I think Brad & Angie are well past the “still getting to know you stage”. You don’t let a man you are “getting to know adopt your kids” and you dont have a biological child with someone while you decide if it will stand the test of time. The commitment Brad & Angie have made to each other in this reguard is HUGE and PERMANENT!

If anything that I got from the past few weeks of Angie’s print and tv interviews is that there is a depth in her relationship with Brad that was absent in any of her previous relationships and the same for goes Brad. Just the fact that they walked the red carpet spoke volumes about THEM! For the past year there has been a whole lot of tabloid driven innuendo and rumors about these two. When Angie said her “brief” mention of Jen….with the prodding of the interviewer….she laid to rest the thought that she felt any remorse or guilt towards Aniston….Folks wanted her to confess that she & Brad had an affair while shooting M&MS. But what gets me is what they don’t ask….. WHY Aniston had not met her??? Brad was filming M&MS in LA and not once in the WHOLE shooting did Jen just stop by to see him?? Since Brad & Angie have been together, we have heard of practically every visit Angie & the kids made to Brad’s movie sets. This glarring fact tells me that the Pitts marriage was over before Angie & Brad set foot on the M&MS set. With Angie saying that she knew Brad was married to his best friend who hes loves & respects in her Vogue inteview, how could she know otherwise? She was living in England and not privy to the Hollywood secret that the Aniston/Pitt marriage was on the rocks, and as she said, she ignores the tabloids.

These two really love each other and that is so evident….. the Red Carpet walk together, the release of the family photos, their humanitarian efforts, just drive it home that Brad & Angie have common interests that will keep them together for years to come….

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

ITA. Rumor of the good chemistry was all over the tab. and Aniston didn’t even bother to visit him in the set. and considering MMS was film in LA not even out of the country.

Angie looks amazing in white. It’s great to hear to pick up some toys, clothes and books for her children. In and out in 30mins, she’s a quick shopper but maybe she has meeting with someone at her mom’s hotel.

I didn’t know CHIN didn’t visit Brad at the set of M&MS. She thought he would never leave her. Poor Brad, always giving without receiving.

I always thought the older you get the wiser you are. Not in CHIN case.
